At this time, Huang Shumin walked up to Yuyi, bowed and said, "Li Yan is the prefect of Yong'an, and we are close neighbors. After the incident of the corpse soldiers, I conducted a preliminary investigation and found that Prefect Li Yan had an affair with Sima Yi of Wei State." Contact!" After hearing this, Li Yan looked very surprised, a little guilty, and said angrily: "Huang Shumin, you are a prostitute, don't spit on others."
Yu Yi said: "What he said makes sense, Huang Shumin, what evidence do you have?"
Huang Shumin then moved her hand, and a soldier was pulled forward with five-flowered ropes. Huang Shumin pointed at the man and said: "He is a spy of the Wei army, pretending to be a merchant, and was intercepted by me. After our interrogation, he has confessed everything."
Yu Yi smiled slightly and said, "Li Yan, what else do you have to say?"
Li Yan looked at the man and thought, as long as I refuse to admit it, they will have no choice but to produce substantive evidence, so he said: "I don't know that man. He must have been instructed by someone to frame me."
Huang Shumin walked up to Yuyi with a smile and took out a letter, which was the content of the conversation between Sima Yi and Li Yan.
Yu Yi opened the letter and after reading the content, he found that it was Sima Yi's plan to deploy the corpse soldiers. The key was to inject toxins into the corpse soldiers to infect the surrounding people. The plan was so vicious that it was unbelievable.
At this point, there was no room for Li Yan's quibbles. Yu Yi waved his hand and asked the warriors to push Li Yan out and behead him. At this moment, Kong Ming sent a video.
Yuyi temporarily left the scene and connected to the video.
Kong Ming asked the reason, and Yu Yi smiled and said: "Actually, Soochow still hasn't mobilized troops. What happened this time was that Li Yan and Sima Yi colluded to use rumors to contain the Northern Expedition army. The reason why Li Yan took the risk was actually Gou An's matter. And the discipline of food and grass.”
After hearing this, Kong Ming sighed and said, "Li Yan is an important minister of the late emperor Tuogu. I hope your majesty can let him go."
Yuyi nodded and said, "Since you said so, then so be it."
After returning to the scene, Yu Yi ordered that Li Yan be demoted to an ordinary citizen, confiscated all his assets, and sent someone to take care of him. He lived in Zitong County. At the same time, he appointed Li Yan's eldest son as the chief historian, responsible for grain and grass. After the incident, he issued an edict to Kong Ming to continue optimizing the military structure, cultivating reserve talents, reorganizing weapons, establishing farmland, and always preparing for the Northern Expedition.
After this incident was over, Yu Yi called everyone in Xiangyang to a meeting. He planned to stop synchronizing with the Northern Expedition and directly send troops to Soochow to launch a sneak attack and recover the counties in Jingzhou first. As for the corpse soldiers, they will be investigated simultaneously. If that doesn't work, take the corpse soldiers to the direction of Soochow and use the corpse soldiers to increase their strength. Everyone agreed. At this moment, the soldiers came to report that there was an envoy from Soochow who wanted to see him.
Yu Yi called him in and asked him why.
The man said: "Recently, there has been a strange phenomenon at the junction. Some corpse soldiers have appeared and often harass the local people. Our governor has a headache. We hope to unite the power of Western Shu to put down these corpse soldiers together."
Wu Shu was originally an alliance, Yu Yi thought to himself, this Lu Xun is really cunning, and when they encounter trouble, they must solve it together.
After hearing this, Huang Shumin said angrily: "The corpse soldiers are harassing you Soochow. What does it have to do with us in Xishu? Why should we send out our forces?"
The messenger's face changed slightly after hearing this, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Yu Yi said with a smile: "Last time we were preparing to attack Fancheng, but your commander-in-chief actually made a sneak attack, which really affected the Wu-Shu Alliance. This time there is news that we are going to attack Xiangyang. What is the intention?"
The envoy's face became even worse, and he quickly explained: "We have investigated this matter clearly. It was caused by the collusion between Yong'an Li Yan and Sima Yi. Some of the Soochow soldiers who entered Xiangyang City were all corpse soldiers pretending to be Yes, your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Yu Yi pretended to be enlightened and nodded, saying: "You go back and tell your commander, for the sake of the common people in the world, let's solve the problem of corpse soldiers together. If there is another sneak attack from behind, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The envoy obeyed, retreated, and went back to tell Lu Xun. Lu Xun was not angry when he found out. He just sighed and said, "I don't know where these corpse soldiers came from. If they can be solved, it doesn't matter if they lose some aura."
After the messenger left, Yu Yi said to Huang Shumin: "Soochow told us that the corpse soldiers are at the border. We will follow this location and go to find out what happened tonight."
So Yu Yi, Huang Shumin, Lei Chunze, Huang Mochou, and Xiaoli headed towards Maicheng together, and soon came to an open place.
On the way, Yu Yi saw some people who were thin and dying. Yu Yi asked Huang Shumin to bring out some food. Through communication, Yu Yi realized that the burden on the country was still too heavy for the annual Northern Expedition. On the one hand, it had to ensure conscription. , on the one hand, we must ensure food supply.
Walking further ahead, Yu Yi found a lot of frantic people. They were not walking fast, but they were showing their teeth and claws. Their eyes were glowing green and their teeth seemed to be able to suck blood.
Huang Shumin pointed at the common people and reminded: "Your Majesty, please be careful, these are common people infected by the corpse soldiers."
Yu Yi had seen corpse soldiers before, including skeleton generals, or some corpses with highly decomposed faces, but this time the situation was a little different.
At this moment, Lei Chunze reminded: "Look!"
I only saw a white-skinned, naked woman following these people. She smiled and waved to the people around her. The woman had an outstanding figure, and there were almost no men around who didn't take the bait. When the man came close, the woman leaned close to his neck and kissed him. She took a breath and quickly sucked away the man's essence. Then she scratched the man's arm with her nails, and the man became a new corpse soldier.
Lei Chunze kept looking at the woman intently. Seeing this, Huang Shumin kicked him and scolded: "Have you never seen a woman?"
Lei Chunze looked a little embarrassed, rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile: "I have seen women before, but I have never seen such a naked and beautiful woman in public!"
Yu Yi observed for a while and said: "I'm afraid some of the secrets of the corpse soldier transformation are in this woman. We must try to capture her alive."
Everyone nodded, and Huang Shumin asked: "What about these people?"
He replied: "Find a way to control it."
So everyone divided their work and quickly fought together. Yu Yi rode a skeleton war horse and held the Fangtian Snake Halberd in his hand, and went straight for the woman.
When the woman saw Yu Yi rushing towards him, she became interested and jumped up into the sky. The nails on her hands grew wildly and her hair became hard. She actually fought with Yu Yi.
The two fought for more than a hundred rounds, but they were evenly matched.
The woman looked at Yuyi with interest and silently recited, "King of Corpses."
Lei Chunze also heard it and said to Yuyi with a smile: "She seems to like you very much. Is she planning to transform you into the Corpse King?"
