Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing Cai Mao's puzzled face, Li Yi continued: "What Cai Zhonglang has learned can help people know right from wrong, know good and evil, know shame, and recognize good and bad. However, in troubled times, there must be thunderous methods. These elegant studies are inevitably insufficient. .”

Cai Hao frowned slightly, feeling that Li Yi's words were too reckless, but since Li Yi had a deep impression on him before, he did not question him, but asked, "Then what else does the Marquis Xiang want from the Academy?"

Li Yi nodded, and said, "The knowledge I have studied myself."

Cai Hao's face tightened immediately, he was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing, but Li Yi's next sentence shook his smile back.

"Other people do learning, either for the sake of clarity of mind, or for the sake of being a nobleman for a lifetime, but I want to establish my heart for the world, establish my life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and bring peace to all generations!"

"Military division, tell me, how about teaching such knowledge in the academy?"

Cai Mao's mouth moved. He wanted to say that Li Yi was talking brazenly, but just listening to the momentum of these few words, could a brazen person say it?

If this is true, how big is Li Yi's heart?

Seeing that Cai Hao was almost fooled by himself, Li Yi smiled slightly and continued: "There is a college like this, with hundreds of disciples, all of whom are masters of the world. Dean, how are you doing?"

Chapter 158 Cai Mao's narrow escape

It's a pity that Cai Mao is an ancient person, otherwise his mood at the moment can be best described as "fucking".God is pitiful, he originally just wanted to find out Li Yi's attitude towards Jingzhou, it would be better if he could get to know him better, therefore, before the meeting, Cai Mao was actually a little worried, he was afraid that Li Yi's tone would be too tight and he wouldn't be able to ask questions , and then affect Liu Biao's decision-making. After all, things in Nanyang County are not easy to delay.

In the end, what Cai Mao never expected was that Li Yi didn't see each other at all. He just asked a little, and Li Yi said everything, and he didn't even care about "crossing the line". It really made him a little unbearable. live.

It's fine if Li Yi is talking nonsense, he can just smile in front of his face, turn around and sell Li Yi to Liu Biao, and then come over with hundreds of knives and axes to chop Li Yi up.

However, Cai Mao has to admit that Li Yi's vision seems to be much longer-term than he sees, which makes him feel ashamed, and after hearing many of Li Yi's views, people will have a sense of enlightenment, which makes Cai Mao can't help but I want to communicate more.

In addition, the most important thing is that Cai Mao did not feel personal hostility towards Li Yi from Li Yi, which is one of the important reasons why Cai Mao can continue chatting with Li Yi.

Li Yi took a sip of the wine, closed his eyes slightly to savor the sweetness, looked extremely intoxicated, and when he drank it down, he found that Cai Mao was still thinking about it with his head down, smiling in his heart, and said, "I've already told myself, Next, let’s talk about the military division, or the Cai family?”

At this moment Cai Mao finally came back to his senses, cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Lord Xiang."

Cai Hao already had a faint idea in his heart, if Li Yi is killed directly, that's all, otherwise, it's better to make friends with him, for nothing else, just looking at the other party's eyes is worth it.

Li Yi straightened his face and said: "The military division relies heavily on Dezhou Mu in Jingzhou, and the generals in the army are also headed by the military division. Most of the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are under the control of the military division. It can be said that they are under one person and above ten thousand. I heard that there are many members of the army division family who hold important positions in the army, and the Cai family is also in the limelight."

"The rest of the Jingzhou family, such as Pang, Huang, Kuai, etc., have their own backgrounds, but when Zhoumu pacified Jingzhou, only the Kuai family contributed a lot. Therefore, the other families are far less important than the Kuai family in Dezhou Mu. Of course, It can also be said that they are unwilling to be reused by the state pastor."

"However, although the Kuai family has two great talents, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, who often accompany Zhou Mu, they seem indispensable, but in fact they are like beauties, who come when they are recruited, and go when they are waved. What’s more, there are many aristocratic families in Jingzhou, so there is still no shortage of such talents.”

Seeing Li Yi comparing the two of Kuai's family with beauties, Cai Mao couldn't help showing a hint of a smile. Even though they were under Liu Biao's command, they were also considered to be united. There is still competition for favor.

Li Yi continued: "But the military division is different. The military division, Yu Zhoumu, has a sharp blade by his pillow. Without a sharp blade, Zhou Mu can't sleep peacefully. Moreover, the sharp blade that Zhou Mu can reach is only the military division. For the time being, there is no substitute, so the Cai family is the number one in Jingzhou, and it is well-deserved!"

Cai Mao stroked his beard, and subconsciously wanted to say a few words of self-effacing, but before he could speak, he noticed Li Yi's smiling eyes, and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, feeling that Li Yi's words should not be finished, and Most of the latter is not a good thing.

Sure enough, I saw Li Yi pouring himself a glass of wine and pouring another glass of fine wine into his throat, then he took a long breath and said, "The military adviser has managed the Cai family to the present situation, and it can be said that he is a momentary hero, however, prosperity must decline, Things are always reversed, and now the crisis is in front of us, but the general is blinded by a leaf, and he still doesn't know it!"

Cai Hao's face sank slightly, he wanted to say that Li Yi was scaremongering, because in terms of the situation in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu retreated, he had no strong enemies outside, and he and Liu Biao were just in love with each other, and they would even become in-laws soon. Under such a situation, who else in Jingzhou can harm his Cai family?

If Li Yi had just said these words when they met, Cai Mao would definitely refute them and would not be polite to Li Yi, but in view of what Li Yi said earlier, Cai Mao had no choice but to suppress his unhappiness, and cupped his hands and said: "Please speak up, Xianghou! "

Li Yi could hear that Cai Hao's tone was a bit harsher than before, but he didn't care, and said with a smile: "This is a bit complicated, please listen to me slowly, the military teacher."

"Let's talk about Jingzhou first. I said just now that the military commander is the state shepherd's sword, but I want to ask the military teacher, if the military teacher is the state shepherd, but there is only this sharp knife by his side, can he feel at ease?"

Cai Hao raised his brows, his words clearly meant to provoke dissension, so he didn't answer at all, depending on what Li Yi said.

Li Yi didn't dare to test too much. Seeing that Cai Mao was silent, he turned and said: "Of course, with Zhou Mu's wisdom, he can't do things that hurt others and himself, but once Zhou Mu wants to accept others as a sharp edge , the military commander will definitely be unhappy if he thinks about it, and he will definitely take action to stop it. Afterwards, regardless of whether the matter is successful or not, even if the state priest does not say anything, he will definitely be unhappy in his heart. This is one of the crises."

"what"

Cai Hao smiled, shook his head and said: "What the Marquis Xiang said, I am not a hypocrite, I admit that what the Marquis Xiang said earlier is reasonable, but the second half of the sentence, can this trivial matter be considered a crisis?"

Li Yi's face remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "This is just one of them, can the military master listen to me?"

"Please!"

"Although the state shepherd is the master of Jingzhou, the major families in Jingzhou really serve the state shepherd, but Cai and Kuai. Why? Because many aristocratic families are still waiting to see if the state shepherd is worthy of their service, or Tell me whether the state shepherd has the means to fight for a place of peace in this troubled world."

Cai Mao couldn't help but interrupted: "The words of the Marquis Xiang are wrong. Zhou Mu is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, one of the eight elites, and his talents and learning are rare in this world, and his reputation is well known in the world. The chaos in Jingzhou was also settled overnight, so powerful Many aristocratic families have already seen it, so why continue to wait and see?"

Li Yi was not angry when he was interrupted, and asked instead: "How is Zhou Muzhi compared to Cai Zhonglang?"

Cai Mao's breathing was stagnant, and he had to admit: "It's not as good as it is."

"How does the name of state shepherd compare to Cai Zhonglang?"

"Slightly inferior."

"Ha ha."

Li Yi smiled, a little badly, and said in a low voice: "I concealed what Yi said before, and I hope the military master will not blame me."

Cai Mao's thoughts turned sharply, and he looked at Li Yi strangely, but he didn't expect that he lied to him there.

"To be honest, although Cai Zhonglang is famous all over the world, he offended a villain in Chang'an and almost died. I saved Cai Zhonglang's life at that time, but after that, instead of inviting Cai Zhonglang to Nanyang, I took him captive. "

"What! You, you are so courageous!"

Cai Mao was stunned, he didn't know what to say, Cai Yong is such a talented person, even Dong Zhuo respected him very much, but Li Yi dared to take him away, if this spread, wouldn't Li Yi Are you afraid of being scolded by the world?

Li Yi didn't seem to see Cai Hao's face, and he didn't feel guilty at all, and continued: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small things, Cai Zhonglang is useful to me, so I will invite him here, although spreading this matter will hurt my reputation, But those who really slander me are just some stupid and stubborn people. The real insightful people understand that what I do is actually beneficial to both sides. Even though Cai Zhonglang himself is a little angry towards me, he has no resentment at all. "

Cai Mao really wanted to say that Li Yi's views were fallacious, but Li Yi had already said in advance that those who slandered him were fools, so Cai Mao had to resist questioning Li Yi, but immediately he was shocked and said: "Why did you tell me such a secret thing?"

Li Yi cupped his hands slightly, and said softly, "Because I want the military advisor to know that I treat the military advisor with sincerity."

With Cai Mao's current status, he has heard too many words of intimacy or flattery, but Li Yi's words of treating each other with sincerity caused a warm current to surge in his heart inexplicably.

Yes, even the "shameless" matter of kidnapping Cai Yong was shared with him. It is indeed sincere and cannot be more sincere. At the same time, it also made Cai Mao reconfirm that Li Yi really has goodwill towards him and the Cai family. of.

"Xianghou is very clever, Cai admires it."

Cai Mao cupped his hands with a wry smile, and then assured him: "Cai will never tell anyone about Cai Zhonglang's matter."

"Haha, thank you, Military Advisor."

Li Yi returned the courtesy, and Cai Hao's words were also a kind of goodwill. Although Li Yi did not fully believe Cai Hao's guarantee, but as Li Yi said, the real spread of Cai Yong's matter was just a little trouble. This is a troubled time , everyone is busy working for their own family, how many people are free to take care of Cai Yong's life?Maybe there are many people who appreciate his straightforward way of doing things.

With Cai Yong's example at the bottom, Li Yi continued the previous topic, saying: "In troubled times, talents, learning and virtuous names are useful, but they are also limited. Before the Jingzhou sect was wiped out, it was the people's will and the general trend. With the promotion of the Kuai family, everything will naturally come to fruition. The state shepherd just happens to meet at the right time, and has little to do with fame. Therefore, it is necessary to see what the state shepherd does. Therefore, many aristocratic families choose to wait and see, which seems to be too much. Be careful, it’s actually a safe move.”

Perhaps it was because the phrase "treat each other with sincerity" had an effect, Cai Mao felt that he was getting closer to Li Yi, and said bluntly: "Then Xianghou is referring to my Cai family and Kuai's Meng Lang?"

"No, it is absolutely wise for the Cai family and the Kuai family to accept state herds into Jingzhou. It can protect the people of Jingzhou for public use, and let the family grow stronger for private use. However, the times are also changing, and the situation in the world is changing rapidly. It was not foreseeable at the time."

Hearing this, Cai Hao couldn't help but glance at Li Yi again. Li Yi has contributed a lot to the recent changes in the situation!
