Indeed, Ju Yi was a famous general skilled with crossbowmen; not only did his martial strength and command values reach over 80 points, but he also came with crossbow-related talents and training methods for crossbow units, as well as a personal battle formation.

It was likely that all these effects combined were enough to bring the strength of his crossbow units to the level of a special unit.

It was a pity that Ju Yi's loyalty was too poor.

It had barely reached the passing line of 65 points.

It was very easy for him to betray.

In the original history of the Three Kingdoms.

Ju Yi had once betrayed Han Fu, and was later killed by Yuan Shao because of his arrogance and reliance on his talent.

Wanting to trust and employ such a general, even if he was a famous general capable of great tasks, was indeed extremely difficult.

It was just that Su Li was currently lacking famous generals like Ju Yi, so he could only accept him for now.

As for whether Ju Yi would rebel in the future, or become arrogant due to his achievements, that was something to consider later.

He couldn't just chop him down with a blade right now.

At any rate, Ju Yi's loyalty was still over 60 points.

He could only use him for now and see.

It was also at this time.

A messenger suddenly appeared.

"General Who Sweeps Away Bandits Zhou Shen and Assistant Military Military Sima Sun Jian are besieged by the rebels, and specifically request reinforcements from you, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, Su Li's brow immediately furrowed.

He hadn't even completely wiped out Han Sui and the others, yet Zhou Shen and Sun Jian were already besieged by the rebels.

"Zhou Shen might be without courage or strategy, so being besieged by the enemy is not surprising, but how did the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian also flip his cart?"

Su Li was somewhat surprised.

With Sun Jian's courage and strength, he shouldn't have been defeated by the rebels while suppressing them.

Or was it that something unknown had happened in the midst of this?

Of course!

This actually didn't matter.

What mattered was that Su Li was now hesitating whether to go and rescue them.

Whether it was Sun Jian or Zhou Shen, he had no friendship with either of them.

Whether to save them or not was entirely up to his whim.

Just as Su Li was hesitating.

A Han army general with shattered armor rode his horse to Su Li.

This general's face was covered in blood, and he had no time to wipe it off.

Seeing Su Li, he immediately flew off his horse, knelt on one knee, and clasped his fists towards Su Li: "Lord Su, I am Huang Gai, a subordinate general under the Assistant Military Military Sima!"

"That scoundrel Dong Zhuo tricked my lord into saving General Zhou, only to fall into the trap of the Liangzhou rebels, yet Dong Zhuo has delayed moving!"

"Now my lord and General Zhou are both trapped in the enemy's encirclement; I ask Lord Su to go and rescue them!"

Huang Gai mentioned Dong Zhuo, gnashing his teeth.

Only then did Su Li's gaze flash, and he understood.

Dong Zhuo was trying to borrow a knife to kill!

Seeing that Sun Jian was a bit of a threat to him, he was preparing to get rid of him once and for all!

It was likely that Li Ru had also played a dirty trick behind the scenes.

Otherwise, with Sun Jian's ability, even if he had been ambushed, he wouldn't have been besieged; he would have been able to break out at the very least.

It had to be said that Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were two old, sinister schemers.

This move was extremely insidious.

No wonder Huang Gai was covered in wounds and had an expression as if he wanted to eat Dong Zhuo and the others alive.

Dong Zhuo had really pitted Sun Jian miserably this time.

To save or not to save?

Su Li fell into hesitation once again.

The benefit of saving them was that he could gain Sun Jian's favor to a great extent and gain military merit.

The downside was that it was also easy to fall into a trap, fall into Dong Zhuo's snare, and lose troops and generals.

"Lord Su, the Jianghuai sons and Han army soldiers we recruited are all trapped in heavy encirclement; their lives are in your hands!"

"My lord said that as long as you can lead troops to help, he will definitely repay you with all his might in the future!"

Huang Gai knelt down and kowtowed to Su Li repeatedly, his voice filled with tears.

"Forget it, we will lead our troops out."

Su Li was the type who would eat soft but not hard.

He was also worried that after Sun Jian and Zhou Shen were defeated and killed, the next target Dong Zhuo would strike at would be him.

Moreover, if he could make Sun Jian owe him a favor, it might be of great use in the future.

…………

On the other side.

Sun Jian led his troops to rescue Zhou Shen, but was heavily besieged by Liangzhou rebels ten times his own number.

And he didn't know if it was his imagination, but there was some kind of secret technique weakening their combat power.

Causing them to be unable to break out.

Everywhere around them were the figures of rebels, smoke rising in thick clouds, and the sounds of battle shaking the heavens and earth.

The General of Chariots and Cavalry, Zhang Wen, also led troops to rescue them, but was blocked by troops dispatched by Beigong Beigong Boyu, and was also powerless to rescue Sun Jian and Zhou Shen.

···

Now the only ones with remaining strength were Dong Zhuo and Su Li.

"Why hasn't Dong Zhuo led his troops to reinforce us yet?"

Zhang Wen somewhat regretted not killing Dong Zhuo at the beginning.

Now Dong Zhuo was relying on his troops to act arrogantly, simply refusing to save them, and even though he had issued several military orders to urge him, he was unable to mobilize Dong Zhuo in the slightest.

It was clear that he was prepared to disobey military orders.

"Lord of White Cloud City Su Li has defeated Han Sui and requests to rescue General Zhou and General Sun!"

At this time, Su Li directly led his troops to the temporary camp of Zhang Wen and the others, and requested to fight from Zhang Wen.

Having defeated Han Sui, the morale of Su Li's troops was high; for a moment, Zhang Wen was shocked!

"You actually defeated Han Sui so quickly?"

"It's truly unbelievable..."

Han Sui, one of the leaders of the Liangzhou rebels, had led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the pass, yet had been defeated by Su Li.

Once this news came out, it immediately boosted the morale of the Han army.

"Heaven does not wish for our Great Han to perish; with Lord Su going into battle, the two generals can be saved! All the cavalry in my camp shall be handed over to Lord Su to command; I ask that you must rescue General Zhou and Assistant Military Sima Sun."

Zhang Wen immediately mobilized a portion of his cavalry and handed them over to Su Li.
