Three Kingdoms: I will return it ten thousand times, my lord, I will never keep it for myself

The fierce battle between Liu Yao and Yuan Shao lasted from the dawn to dusk, and the last sunset in the sky also gilded this battle of dragons and tigers with a layer of tragic golden glow.

And Ju Yi was indeed a famous general. He cleverly used his halberd soldiers and the first landing camp, took advantage of the concealment of the woods and the ruggedness of the mountains, and wove a series of insurmountable defense lines to launch a tenacious blockade against Liu Yao's offensive.

And Liu Yao's black armored cavalry, which was famous for its thunderous momentum on weekdays, seemed powerless in this dense forest. The dense forest was like a natural maze, restricting the galloping of the cavalry. Those narrow passages could only allow one person to pass, not to mention the galloping of the horses and launching the decisive charge.

The power of the black armored cavalry was helplessly bound in this complex terrain.

Faced with such a predicament, the Bingzhou Army had to rely on the heavy infantry urgently transferred from other legions. They were like a moving barrier, compressing the enemy's living space step by step.

Every step forward was condensed with blood and sweat, and every battle was an extreme test of will and courage.

However, on this battlefield, the Great Halberd Soldiers and the First Landing Camp, both elite divisions of heavy infantry, fought against the Bingzhou heavy infantry together, and sparks flew everywhere, and it was difficult to tell the difference.

In the depths of the dense forest, swords and shadows intertwined, and the candles of life swayed in the wind and extinguished one after another, turning into the heaviest sigh on this land.

Liu Yao, who was the first to ride, did not go deep into the battle formation, but stood quietly at the edge of the woods, staring at the stalemate with a torch-like gaze.

"Look at Ju Yi. Although he is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, he was able to hold off the fierce attack of Bingzhou Iron Cavalry for two hours. He is truly a rare general."

Tian Feng smiled faintly when he heard this: "My Lord, I'm afraid you are moved by the brilliance of this talent again, right?"

Liu Yao laughed loudly, and his laughter echoed like thunder: "Hahaha! Elite soldiers and strong generals, who in the world would not be yearning for such a hero? But I heard that he has a stubborn personality, acts unruly, and is greedy for military exploits, which makes people worried."

Guo Jia, who was a little embarrassed, walked slowly to the side.

"My lord, looking at the current situation, if Ju Yi does not join your army, his future will be bleak. At the least, his military power will be lost, like a candle in the wind; at the worst, his head and body will be separated, and his life will be lost in a day or two."

Liu Yao frowned slightly when he heard this, and turned his eyes to Guo Jia, with a bit of joking: "You came from Yongzhou, how come you are so dusty and dirty."

Guo Jia gently took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust and sweat on his face, with a calm and elegant demeanor.

"My lord, the 20,000 heavy infantry you have allocated this time is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated. All the generals have important tasks, so I will lead the army here in person to ensure that everything is safe."

Liu Yao nodded slightly when he heard this, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

"Thank goodness for you, but Fengxiao said that after Ju Yi followed Yuan Shao, his power would be lost at best, and his life would be in danger at worst. Is there any solid evidence for this?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia slowly put down the half-empty water bag in his hand, with a deep look in his eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"My lord, it is known to all that Ju Yi is arrogant, greedy and reckless. But you, my lord, have won every battle and conquered every city since your rise to power. You have long been praised by the world as the God of War of the Han Dynasty, and your reputation is overwhelming."

"Imagine that if he can compete with you today, or skillfully command his troops and evacuate safely under your watch, this will surely make him famous in Jizhou."

"In the future, this person will become the backbone of the Jizhou army, and Ju Yi, whether in training troops or commanding in battle, has extraordinary talents, like a bright star that is difficult to cover up."

"If such a person can join the lord's army, he will be valued and entrusted with important positions, and become a powerful arm of the lord in his fight for world domination."

"But!"

"Fate is so cruel that Ju Yi chose to be loyal to Yuan Shao."

"Yuan Shao is suspicious by nature and has difficulty trusting others. In addition, Ju Yi has betrayed Han Fu in the past. This is like a double-edged sword, sharp and dangerous. Once Ju Yi really emerges and becomes more powerful, I am afraid that Yuan Shao's suspicion and uneasiness will spread like wildfire and be difficult to contain."

"Because he is deeply afraid that no one can control Ju Yi's power. In Jizhou, only General Yan Liang can compete with Ju Yi in martial arts. However, when it comes to commanding troops, Yan Liang is still far behind Ju Yi."

"What's more, Ju Yi also has his younger brother Ju Wu, whose martial arts are also not to be underestimated. The two of them stand side by side in the Jizhou army, almost standing out from the crowd and hard to find an opponent."

"If Yuan Shao keeps such a person by his side, how can he feel at ease?""But it's different here, lord."

"Your men Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, and Li Si are all equally matched with him! It's too easy to check and balance a little Ju Yi."

Now that Ju Yi is here, he can't act as recklessly as he did in the past, and can only bow down and submit. ""

Liu Yao squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

Seeing the sunset, it's not a good idea to continue fighting here.

"Okay, okay, it's almost enough to fight here, let the soldiers withdraw first, I will have a good talk with Ju Yi first, if the talk goes well, this matter will be over."

...

After a few moments, Liu Yao and Ju Yi met quietly at the edge of the forest. Both of them were wearing armor, heroic and valiant, standing opposite each other.

On Ju Yi's body, on the armor, spots of blood and mottled flesh intertwined, recording the cruelty and bravery on the battlefield.

General Ju, your reputation has long been known to me! I have witnessed it with my own eyes today. It is really a tiger general, and his reputation is well-deserved. "Liu Yao's words were full of respect and sincerity.

Ju Yi heard this and smiled modestly, and replied with a cupped hand: "General Liu, you are too kind. In the current Han Dynasty, you are undoubtedly the most powerful general. Your military exploits are illustrious, and everyone knows it?"

Liu Yao smiled lightly, then pointed to the quaint little table on the side, where the warm wine was emitting curling heat, and invited:

"The wine is ready, and the temperature is just right. General Ju, please move over and drink this cup together!"

Ju Yi nodded in agreement, took steady steps, and slowly sat down at the table.

"Haha, in today's battle, the Bingzhou Army under General Liu's command is really powerful, with excellent weapons and strong will!"

"Hahaha, General Ju has a good command! He was able to withstand so many rounds of attacks when his troops were lower than ours. "

Liu Yao took out the warm wine pot and slowly poured it into the cup.

"This wine is still warm! General, you can drink as much as you want!"

Ju Yi smelled the strong aroma of the wine in the cup. He had been fighting for so long that his throat was already dry and smoking.
