Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Wen Pin was a little surprised and hesitated for a while, considering that this question is not a secret, he said truthfully: "There are three thousand sailors outside the city, and fourteen thousand horse infantry."

"Is there enough food and grass in the city?"

"Naturally sufficient."

"Is the weapon still sharp?"

"Wen under his command has a small exercise every three days, and a big exercise every five days. He has never slack off!"

The atmosphere at the gate of the city became a little stiff again, and Wen Pin's brows gradually frowned.

Although Wenpin is a general, he is also a man of wisdom and courage, and he already understands what Li Yi wants to ask him.

"hehe"

Li Yipi looked at Wenpin with a smile, his eyes were full of contempt, which made Wenpin feel very uncomfortable, and said with a sneer, "Ask the general again, is the blood in your heart cold?"

Wen Pin remained silent with a sullen face, and Li Yi didn't wait for him, and said again: "If the general is not cold-blooded, then millions of people in Nanyang are being robbed, their homes are destroyed, countless people are displaced, the father lost his children, and the husband Without seeing his wife, General Wen can still stay in Xinye like a mountain in the face of such a tragedy, haha, General Wen is really good at war and good-natured! Li really admires him, admires him!"

Wen Pin's face suddenly turned blood red, and Li Yi's words pierced into his heart like an awl.

Wen Pin was so ashamed and angry, he wanted to raise his hand to give Li Yi a knife, and he also wanted to fight Yuan Shu with his army, but in the end he just clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and stood there motionless, no matter what Li Yi said. , and did not make any excuses.

"Bold, you can offend my general!"

Li Yi's sarcasm was too merciless, as if all the mistakes were caused by Wenpin. Wenpin himself could not defend himself, but his subordinates couldn't stand it anymore, and they also complained for Wenpin. Someone stood up and scolded Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't look at the person who stood up, but just laughed and said: "Yes, I offended General Wen, I'm really ashamed, but I prepared a generous gift before I left, just to send it to General Wen to make amends, but , I just don’t know if General Wen has the face to accept it!”

With that said, Li Yi untied his rucksack, took out two pieces of coarse cloth and spread them on the ground. Although the people on Wenpin's side were angry with Li Yi for scolding their general, they still couldn't help but cast their eyes, wanting to see what Li Yi took out. what is it.

However, when they saw it clearly, they all closed their mouths, their faces were either confused, ashamed, or angry, and some even had tears in their eyes.

The person who scolded Li Yi earlier also sighed, and then turned his face away, as if he couldn't bear to look any longer.

It turned out that the two pieces of coarse cloth were densely covered with bloody handprints, which looked very bloody, and there was a line of very dazzling bloody characters written on the top: Millions of people in Nanyang cried blood to report, hope that Xiangyang will send troops to save the people of the Li people. Water and fire!

Li Yi found that Wenpin glanced at the blood book, then closed his eyes again, still sullen, and did not make a statement, so he cleared his throat and said: "The imperial court ordered me to be the prefect of Nanyang, but I don't want to come to Nanyang. I met the people of Nanyang first, ha, poor thing, someone told me before that Nanyang is rich and prosperous, and the people live in a healthy life, but what I saw was countless people with poor clothing and food, even if the gold thieves are in trouble!"

"It's fine if it's a natural disaster, but these years, my big man has repeatedly rebelled and rebelled, harming the people. Although there are traitors in the court, they have never forgotten to suppress the rebellion and protect the people. Only here in Jingzhou, it is Li who has learned a lot. !"

"The people were killed and displaced by the rebellious soldiers. It's fine if they are unable to wipe out the rebellious soldiers. However, General Wen clearly has more than ten thousand elite soldiers here, but he still wants to sit back and watch the people suffer under his nose. What's the point?"

As Li Yi said, he looked at Wenpin and the generals behind him. Everyone felt ashamed and bowed their heads, not daring to look at Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi decided to add more fire, snorted coldly, glanced at the top of the city, and murmured: "There are more than 1 soldiers and horses, hehe, I wonder how many Nanyang people are there among these 1 people?"

"Sitting and watching parents, wives, children, neighbors and party members being harmed by the rebellious soldiers, they are indifferent. What a bloody man, what a man!"

"Sheep have the grace to kneel and suckle, and crows have the righteousness to feed back. If you don't know the kindness, you are in vain as a son of man!"

"Stop talking, it's not General Wen's fault!"

Li Yi's ridicule was so harsh that he almost pointed at Wenpin's nose and called him a beast. The little general Wang couldn't help standing up. He wanted to complain for Wenpin, but Wenpin waved his hand to stop him from speaking. .

Wenpin was very sad and indignant, and also very helpless. He knew very well what was going on in Nanyang, but what could he do?

Now that someone scolded him, the sense of guilt in his heart became lighter.

Li Yi glanced at the young general and said with a sneer, "I don't blame you for not opening the city gate with me before, because you are very conscientious, but with you, or your courage, you will keep guard in this life." the city."

Which of the generals didn't want to fight on the battlefield to make contributions, but Li Yi said that the little general Wang had no courage and could only defend the city, which immediately made him turn red and opened his mouth to tell Li Yi apart, but he didn't know where to start the argument.

Li Yi ignored him, squatted down, carefully folded the coarse cloth covered with bloody fingerprints, and while repacking, said: "A general cannot expand the territory of the country if he enters, and he cannot defend a territory if he retreats. Such a great general, how can he face the world?"

After all, Li Yi put the burden behind him again, glanced at Wen Pin whose face was about to explode, and said calmly: "It seems that General Wen can't accept this gift from me, so please allow me to cross the city." , so that I can deliver the present to Shijun Liu!"

After all, Li Yi dragged his disobedient mount and walked straight forward. Wenpin didn't speak, and no one stopped Li Yi.

Li Yi's words were indeed very hurtful, and smoke would rise from the heads of the Xinye generals, but in all fairness, was Li Yi wrong?

Many of the defenders in the city are from Nanyang, and even Wenpin, the chief general here, is from Wan County, which is the seat of Nanyang.

Seeing Yuan Shu's army looting in Nanyang, unless he is really a wolf-hearted person, how many normal people will feel better?

Li Yi gathered some refugees outside, but those who fled north were only a very small number. Most of the people who fled from the disaster chose the direction of Xiangyang, and there were no less than [-] people resettled in Xinye City.

Among those refugees, there are many people from their hometown who are soldiers and soldiers. Recently, there are not a few people in the army clamoring for civil employment to send troops, but these voices have all been suppressed.

In fact, Yuan Shao's looting of the people was not stupid, it was just sweeping away. As for those aristocratic families, he left them all alone. Therefore, this military disaster has never touched the bottom line of Jingzhou's high-level officials. The scolding, but it pierced the skin of many people.

"General, General"

Seeing Wenpin standing there for a long time without saying a word, some confidant generals were worried that Wenpin would get sick from Li Yi's anger, so they had to step forward and call softly twice.

"call"

Wenpin let out a breath of foul air slowly, and his face still had the same expression as before, as if he was about to explode at any time.

After being silent for a while, Wenpin said slowly, "Mingkeke."

For some reason, Wen Pin's voice was a little hoarse, he coughed for a while, and then said: "Report what happened just now to the State Shepherd. Don't miss anything, let alone delay."

After finishing speaking, Wen Pin lost his momentum and his shoulders collapsed. He lowered his head and walked back step by step. A confidant couldn't help but chased after him and asked, "General, are we going to let Li Li Yi pass the city?" ?”

Wen Pin paused, a trace of loneliness flashed across his face, and said softly: "There is no order from the state pastor, so there is no need to worry about it."

The confidant suddenly understood that Wenpin was letting Li Yitong go.

The confidant sighed softly, looking at Wenpin's back, his nose was sore, suddenly he was not worthy of his own general, and also not worthy of himself and others. Although Li Yi scolded them harshly today, he was not the first to scold them , but what can they do?

Whether to send troops or not, even Wenpin can't decide!

When Wenpin came home, his family saw that he looked uneasy, and no one dared to approach him. Wenpin went to the study by himself, and as soon as he closed the door, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Wenpin felt sad, and hammered his thighs hard a few times, then calmed down, wiped his eyes, wrote a letter, sent to Xiangyang, and then called the housekeeper, announcing that the old injury had recurred, Recently, I need to stay in bed for recuperation and cannot see guests.

Li Yi went out of Xinye South Gate smoothly, and a big stone was put down in his heart.

Don't look at Li Yi's ferocity at the gate of the city before, but he was still quite nervous in his heart. He was always ready to sneak away, not because he was afraid of Wenpin, but because he was afraid that other soldiers would lose control of their emotions and attack him with knives. Desperately.

However, in terms of the end result, it looks pretty good.

Wenpin, this is a guy with more integrity and a thin skin.

After Jingzhou voted for Cao Cao, Wenpin was unwilling to take the initiative to meet Cao Cao, because he felt that he could not preserve the land and was ashamed to see others. Even though he accepted Cao Cao's solicitation, he chose to stay in Jingzhou to protect his homeland.

Later, Wenpin was ordered to pursue Liu Bei, and finally caught up with him, but was scolded by Liu Bei as a "thief who betrayed the master" and hid his face and left.
