Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Jingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao without a fight. This was caused by many reasons. It is no wonder that Wenpin was on the head. Most of the guys are emotionally sensitive and have low face.

This kind of person may be keen on fame, but the bottom line in his heart is still above fame.

Combining various judgments, Li Yi believes that Wen Pin must be dissatisfied with Liu Biao's correct policy of "non-resistance", but he has to follow orders because of military orders.

Simply, Li Yi used this as an excuse to scold Wenpin. According to Wenpin's personality, he could only hold back, but he held back too much, so he naturally needed to vent.

The object of venting, Liu Biao is definitely ranked first, and after venting, how much loyalty can Wenpin have left for Liu Biao?

Li Yi didn't want to fight in Jingzhou. He positioned himself as a "moth", bit by bit, quietly eating away everything around Liu Biao, and then kicked Liu Biao, who had become a loner, away. It was just the first piece of fat Li Yi set his sights on.

In the evening of that day, two messengers from Xinye entered Xiangyang city one after another, but Li Yi's figure did not appear for a long time. After scolding thoroughly, no one would lead him the way, so he inevitably took a long detour.

Inside Liu Biao's mansion, Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao looked at a letter in front of them, their faces were tangled, as if they had a toothache.

After a while, Liu Biao sighed and asked, "Different degree, how do you think this matter should be dealt with?"

Kuai Yue was a middle-aged man, barely considered Liu Biao's chief counselor. He was rubbing his beard at the moment, his face was changing, and he didn't make a sound when he heard Liu Biao's question. Obviously, he couldn't think of a good countermeasure for a while.

Liu Biao was also kind and honest, he didn't make things difficult for Kuai Yue, he just sighed: "It's my fault, I just don't want Yuan Gonggong to have the name of four generations and three princes, but his behavior has no lower limit, harming my Jingzhou people, and also Killed the old man!"

Chapter 156

Liu Biao's expression was very sad, and he used a sentence from later generations to describe his current situation, which is Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, and he is not a human being inside and out.

In fact, Liu Biao is quite a good person. Although he felt a little wary and uneasy about Li Yi's entry into Jingzhou, and prepared a lot of methods, he was not crazy enough to use the entire Nanyang people to save Li Yi's face.

Originally, Liu Biao's plan was very simple. Let Yuan Shu make trouble in Nanyang. After Li Yi came, he could either fight Yuan Shu himself, or beg him to fight Yuan Shu. Anyway, Li Yi had to bow his head to him. , In the end, it depends on his face to live.

Of course, Li Yi can also ignore Yuan Shu's actions, but in that case, the people will complain in their hearts, and if Liu Biao adds fuel to the flames, Li Yi's Nanyang prefect will not be able to do it safely.

Liu Biao's plan was very good, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan Shu's guy was completely shameless and had no aristocratic demeanor. Seeing that Liu Biao seemed unwilling to send troops, he let go of his hands and feet and began to stalk Nanyang, making Nanyang's situation worse. It was beyond Liu Biao's control in one fell swoop.

So Liu Biao regretted it, but it was too late.

At this time, when troops were sent to rescue Nanyang, all the previous preparations became a joke, and Nanyang's losses would be wasted. Not only could Li Yi not be able to bow his head, but he became a pawn of the other party's entry into Nanyang. He was not reconciled.

If he didn't send troops, Liu Biao's reputation in Nanyang would be completely ruined, and he couldn't bear to see the people suffer.

It was these kinds of entanglements that made Liu Biao unable to make a decision, and delayed the time again and again. When Wenpin sent this letter, he directly told Liu Biao to sit on the wax.

Especially when he saw the bloody handprint Manmin Letter mentioned in the letter, Liu Biao felt his head swell for a while.

With the current corrupt situation in Nanyang, plus tens of thousands of bloody fingerprints, and considering the faint dissatisfaction within Xiangyang, Liu Biao’s sending troops to Nanyang has become a foregone conclusion, but the problem is that the Wanmin Book was sent by Li Yi. Li Yi is the only one who is grateful in the hearts of the people.

As for Liu Biao, let alone let the people appreciate him, it would be good not to curse him to death. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Liu Biao's experience is a loss to his grandma's family.

The three core figures in Jingzhou remained silent until another letter was presented. Liu Biao opened it, his expression changed again, and he sighed and threw the letter on the table.

Seeing this, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao glanced at each other and picked it up. Kuai Yue was fine, but after seeing it, he just fell silent, but Cai Mao couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhongye actually sued for illness, please choose another good general. To Xinye!"

Afterwards, the three of them were silent for a while again. If all the previous situations were within their expectations, it was a complete surprise that Wen Pin chose the pick.

Everyone knows that Wenpin is expressing his dissatisfaction with Liu Biao. Moreover, although Wenpin's complaint is only a personal act, it represents the wishes of a considerable number of people.

Liu Biao was a little angry, but he knew there was a reason for it, and he didn't want to blame Wenpin. He thought for a while and said, "Jingzhou must have Zhongye. I will write a handwritten letter and ask Qi'er to go to Xinye to persuade him on my behalf."

"The Lord is righteous!"

Cai Mao agreed, but then said: "If Wen Pin insists on suing for illness, so what?"

Liu Biao was about to speak, but Kuai Yue suddenly said in a solemn tone: "Master, the Nanyang military disaster is nothing more than a minor problem. Although Wen Pin's complaint of illness is harmful, but now that Yuan Shu's army has gone, this matter has no obvious damage to Jingzhou's defense, so , all of these can be discussed later, there is only one matter, but the Lord needs to make a decisive decision!"

Kuai Yue's expression was very serious, so both Liu Biao and Cai Mao frowned, and then looked at Kuai Yue.

Kuai Yue lowered his voice slightly, and then said word by word: "Li Yi is very cunning, he acts viciously, he kills Hua Xiong in front of the battle, and punishes Dong Zhuo in the palace. Seniors, now that Li Yi entered our Jingzhou, just like Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, I beg my lord to kill him quickly, otherwise, Jingzhou will inevitably cause chaos in the future!"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I also think that Li Yizhi is not young, but comparing him to Dong Zhuo, isn't it serious?"

But Kuai Yue said affirmatively: "I'm afraid Dong Zhuo is not as good as him. My lord hasn't seen Li Yi and arrived in Jingzhou for a few days, so he prepared a letter of Wanmin for the lord, and even scolded Wenpin to write a letter to report his illness. If he is given enough time, I really don't know what kind of troubles will be caused in Jingzhou."

Liu Biao frowned, apparently influenced by Kuai Yue's words, but he hesitated and said, "It is rumored that Li Yi was powerful enough to kill Dong Zhuo within a hundred steps. Zhong Ye's letter also mentioned that Sun Jian's eldest son was injured by him, so it can be seen that his Yongwu, how do you kill such a person?"

Cai Mao clasped his fists and said, "My lord, don't worry, Li Yi came to Xiangyang by himself, and the final general would like to lead five hundred knives and axes to ambush in the Wengcheng. After he enters the city, he closes the city gate and kills him with knives and axes. Even if he is Xiang Yu, he is still alive Escape to death!"

Liu Biao twirled his beard lightly. Although he was a scholar, he did not associate with pedantic people. Before the Jingzhou sect rebelled, he had set up a feast at the Hongmen and killed many people. But those people were thieves, and Li Yi was appointed by the court. Prefect, you can kill Li Yi, but you can't use methods that make people criticize.

Seeing this, Kuai Yue asked, "My lord, are you afraid of Li Yi's reputation?"

Liu Biao nodded and said, "It doesn't matter whether this son came to Jingzhou with other motives or not, but he killed Dong Zhuo and has a very good reputation, and now he is asking for his life to come to see me alone for the people. If I kill him, it will be unjust and call the people of the world. How do you see me?"

In fact, there is another layer of concern that Liu Biao did not say. He used to be on Dong Zhuo's side. Although he has been officially appointed by the court, it is inevitable that some people will use the previous things to say that he is not. He just treats it indifferently. After killing Li Yi, it will be difficult to calm down.

Kuai Yue sighed lightly, and said: "My lord, if you gain something, you must lose something. You must stop it, and you will suffer chaos!"

What Kuai Yue said was more serious, and even meant to teach a lesson. Seeing this, Cai Mao was afraid that Liu's surface would not look good, so he interjected: "The left and right Li Yi is going to come to Xiangyang. After entering the city, he will be a turtle in a urn. Why don't you give it to him first?" See you last time, and then make a decision?"

But Kuai Yue still insisted on his own opinion, saying: "This man is good at stirring up the situation, so kill him quickly!"

Seeing Kuai Yue's insistence, Liu Biao had no choice but to say: "Let's see and see first. If Li Yi's comer is not kind, he will be killed according to the words of the foreign degree. If Li Yi is willing to focus on Xiangyang, let him guard the gate of Jingzhou for the time being. how?"

Kuai Yue secretly thought that a loyal dog can guard the door, but Li Yi is a vicious wolf, but Liu Biao obviously did not want to bear the notoriety, so he couldn't persist, and after discussing some details with Liu Biao, he retired with Cai Mao.

However, when Cai Mao left, he also took on a task, which was to temporarily greet Li Yi on behalf of Liu Biao when he arrived.

Cai Mao is relatively young and holds a high position in Jingzhou. Asking him to meet Li Yi will not lose his manners, and at the same time, it will be easy for Li Yi to let go of his guard and facilitate temptation.

Cai Mao thought about the time, and felt that Li Yi would arrive in Xiangyang soon, so he went directly to the city gate and made a patrol by the way. He didn't want to make this tour, so he patrolled until dark, but he didn't see Li Yi coming.

In the end, Cai Hao was quite annoyed, muttering in his heart that Li Yi had better die on the road, and then returned home.

After Cai Mao returned home, he was still thinking about Li Yi's affairs. He didn't want a maid running in front of him to bump into him, and said angrily, "How decent is Zhang Cheng?"

The maid trembled in fright, and hurriedly replied: "Master, it's Miss, Miss is losing her temper, and this servant wants to ask Madam to come and persuade her."

Cai Mao frowned upon hearing this, then waved his hands and said, "Forget it, there's no need to invite her, I'll just go there."

When Cai Mao arrived at his sister's small courtyard, he could hear a ping-pong sound from a long distance away, as if something had been smashed to pieces.

Cai Mao felt a little displeased, but those dislikes were soon replaced by guilt, sighed lightly, pushed open the door and walked in, and saw his sister sitting on the edge, full of anger, a few servants Kneeling in front of her, trembling all over, not even daring to breathe.

Seeing Cai Mao come in, Cai Yu blinked, tears appeared instantly, turned her head and covered her face and began to cry.

Cai Hao waved his hand to signal the maids to step back, then sat opposite Cai Yu, and said softly, "Are you still blaming me?"

Cai Yu didn't answer, but choked up and said, "Junshi Cai has a lot of things to do every day, why are you here?"

Hearing his sister's strange tone, Cai Mao said with a smile: "You are my younger sister, I heard you are angry, can I come over to have a look as an older brother?"
