Chapter 509 The Battle of Yiling (31)

Chen Zhen led hundreds of people to prepare generous gifts and rushed to Qingcheng.

In the afternoon of that day, I arrived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, which happened to be dusk.

Chen Zhen ordered his soldiers to camp and rest in a nearby village. He ignored his fatigue and only brought one of his confidant subordinates into the depths of the valley at night to find Li Yi's seclusion.

Although Li Yi is noble, he is not a real immortal who is not as good as the world. Not only does he dare not offend those in power, he also needs to be flattered.

The famous hermits are not considered true hermits, because they are not only good at fame, but also have high requirements in life.

The source of their living expenses is the result of fame. There is no essential difference between them and the current celebrity agency advertising. They are all fooling people and for money.

Of course, Li Yi was able to make such a big reputation and his own abilities were naturally not bad.

Only when he is recognized by more people, especially those in power, can he live a life like a god without effort.

Liu Bei has been in charge of Xichuan for a long time and has been busy managing Xichuan, and he has no time to deal with these charlatans.

As the most famous charlatan near Chengdu, Li Yi has never received the reward from Liu Bei, which is a bit unworthy of his reputation. He has been waiting for the opportunity to fool Liu Bei into getting the reward.

Therefore, he paid great attention to collecting Liu Bei's information. He sent a group of confidant disciples to pay attention to Liu Bei's every move.

Liu Bei was going to send troops to the east, and his subordinates soon brought news.

Liu Bei sent an envoy Chen Zhen to visit him, and Li Yi had already received the news. He did not dare to neglect and had been waiting at home.

Although Chen Zhen came at night, Li Yi was prepared and warmly treated.

Chen Zhen is not simple. He is not only very intelligent, but also knowledgeable. The two have similar interests and have a good conversation. Inadvertently, the two reached a tacit understanding.

When Chen Zhen saw that the matter had been arranged, he immediately said goodbye and went down the mountain and quietly returned to his tent to rest.

The next morning, Chen Zhen led a large group of troops to visit the immortals at the "Xianzhuang" where Li Yi was located.

Looking at Li Yi’s seclusion villa, the clear clouds are faint and the auspicious aura is extraordinary.

Shortly after entering the mountain, I suddenly saw a little boy greeting him at the mouth of the valley and asked:

"Is the person who came Chen Xiaoqi?"

Chen Zhen pretended to be shocked and said:

"How can a fairy boy know my last name!"

The boy replied with a smile:

"My teacher told everyone last night: Today, the emperor will be ordered by the emperor; the envoy must be Chen Xiaoqi."

Chen Zhen wanted to do his best, so he sighed loudly:

"A true immortal! People's words are not false!"

Chen Zhen left everyone waiting at the mountain pass. He went to the fairy village alone with the little boy to pay homage to Li Yi and read out Liu Bei's edict.

Li Yi pretended to refuse several times, but Chen Zhen just asked and said:

"The emperor is eager to see the immortal, but I'm lucky to not be stingy with the crane."

After repeated requests, Li Yi took action.

When Chen Zhen returned to the military camp, the first person to recommend Li Yi to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was also very surprised when he saw Li Yihe's childhood face, blue eyes, square pupils, and bright body like an ancient cypress. He treated him with kindness.

Li objected to Liu Bei, but he didn't dare to act like an immortal, and said very modestly:

"I am a village old man from a deserted mountain, without any knowledge. I am insulting Your Majesty to summon him, but I don't know what instructions are there?"

Liu Bei looked at Chen Zhen and nodded when he saw him. He knew that he had communicated, so he made great efforts to issue military orders to gather at the school ground.

Liu Bei wanted Li Yi to see his military power, and then do divination to inspire morale.

After the reorganization of the army, Liu Bei was on the platoon and said straight to Li Yi:

"I, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, have been in the life and death friendship between Jinlan for more than 30 years. Now the two brothers have been killed one after another, and their enemies are Sun Quan from Jiangdong. Recently, Sun Quan has followed the rebel thief Cao Pi, and his family is hatred and hatred, so I cannot let me remain indifferent. I want to lead the army to attack Jingzhou, clear the rebel thief for the country, and avenge the two brothers. I don't know what kind of good and bad luck are. I have heard that the immortal man knows the mystery for a long time, and I hope to give me advice."

Before Li Yi came, he didn't know that Zhang Fei was dead. He knew Liu Bei and Zhang Fei's ability, and was full of confidence in this Eastern Expedition. He was originally planning to make a big gamble and use a great auspicious hexagram to give Liu Bei a strong move.

Although Liu Bei used him to inspire morale, Li Yi himself also used Liu Bei to expand his reputation!

Once Liu Bei defeated Sun Quan in the Eastern Expedition, Li Yi's fame will reach a new peak.

But when he heard Liu Bei telling the news that Zhang Fei was dead, he was a little shocked at the time and felt something was wrong!

Zhang Fei was murdered by his subordinates on the eve of his expedition. This phenomenon is very strange, and Li Yi also thought it was an ominous sign.

In just a moment, he changed his mind. He didn't dare to speak nonsense, but instead ruined his reputation.

Although he agreed to Chen Zhen's request, he did not have to blatantly support Liu Bei to lead the army to the east. As long as he did not make a bad fortune and ruin his affairs, he would be worthy of his courtesy.

Li Yi felt a dilemma. He could neither take the risk to cater to Liu Bei nor could he offend Liu Bei easily.

While he was divining, he thought about it and thought carefully, and finally thought about it. He finally thought of a way to deal with it. He went on stage and said to Liu Bei:

"Your Majesty's expedition to the east is the number of heavens. The secrets of heaven are hard to measure and are not known to me. But Your Majesty is today and can get the favor of God. Just follow your own heart."

Li Yi's words were very smooth. Although he did not give a good fortune to win the Eastern Expedition, he also gave Liu Bei enough face. It sounded like this Eastern Expedition was in line with the will of heaven. The soldiers shouted long live, their morale was improved, and they were full of fighting spirit.

After all, Liu Bei was knowledgeable and skeptical after listening to Li Yi's words, so he asked again and again.

Li Yi had no choice but to pretend to be a god and ask for paper and pen, draw more than 40 pieces of soldiers, horses and equipment, and then he pulled them to pieces after the painting. He also drew an adult lying on his back on the ground, and buried him next to him, writing a big word "white" on it, and then he did not say goodbye, but just bowed to Liu Bei and floated away.

As for the paintings left behind, they were all done casually. Even Li Yi himself didn't know what they meant. However, in the eyes of others, 22 people had different understandings. This is the secret skill of the martial arts warlock, so it is naturally difficult to break through.

Liu Bei and everyone could not see the reason. Most people only thought Li Yigao was unfathomable and very awe.

Liu Bei saw that the morale of the soldiers increased and the morale of the army was available.

The civil servants under him could almost see some mystery, with doubts on his face, and Liu Bei felt angry and said to his ministers:

"This is a crazy old man! You cannot believe it all. I am the emperor and I should be favored by God. This statement is reasonable. I will advance as scheduled. You should not misinterpret his intentions and disrupt our army's morale."

In order not to give people a chance to discuss, Liu Bei ordered all the pictures left by Li Yi to burn down, and issued a military order on the spot, asking Wu Ban to lead the elite troops in Langzhong to be the front, and urged Wu Ban to rectify the army and horses and march according to the auspicious day.
