Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi grinned, feeling that it would be a bit bad for Ji Ling to continue talking like this, and he didn't care about pretending to be cold, and wanted to be polite, but Ji Ling didn't give up, and said again: "My lord said it."

Ji Ling paused for a moment, looked around, let out a cold voice, and then continued: "At the beginning, the eighteen princes were not afraid of life and death, and they crusaded against the country's thieves. All of them were heroes of the time. Entering the camp and beheading Hua Xiong, and willing to take a big risk to enter Luoyang to kill the national traitor with his own hands, is extremely admirable, he is also a hero!"

"It's just a pity, tsk tsk tsk"

Li Yi saw Ji Ling's sarcasm full of sarcasm, and he didn't want to be beaten, and immediately understood Ji Ling's plot, but unfortunately, it was a bit late.

I saw Ji Ling said contemptuously: "The huge Jingzhou has a population of millions, more than [-] armored men, countless talented and fierce generals, and put down several states in the world. When everyone raised their troops to fight against the thieves, Jingzhou was clearly close at hand, but not a single soldier was mobilized!"

Almost all the people present were from Jingzhou. After being scolded by Ji Ling, their faces turned red immediately, and they were very dissatisfied, but they couldn't find anything to argue with Ji Ling, because Ji Ling was telling the truth. .

Li Yi was also silent, Ji Ling's words were too poisonous, and it hit Liu Biao's deathbed.

Li Yi couldn't respond yet, because if he was a little careless, he might be hated by Liu Biao. Once Liu Biao overturned the table and didn't give him time to develop in Nanyang, Li Yi's various plans would become empty talk.

Ji Ling felt that he had almost erupted, and finally sighed, and said: "Although Jingzhou has a large population, the only person who can be regarded as a hero is the Marquis of Xiang. It is indeed a pity to be a Nanyang prefect, when Yangzhou settles down, my lord will definitely play the role of the emperor, and please grant Jingzhou shepherd for the Marquis of Xiang!"

"what!"

"Prefect Li is going to be the governor of the state?"

"What about our Liuzhou Mu?"

When Ji Ling fired the map cannon at Jingzhou before, everyone kept silent although they had their own thoughts in their hearts. But when Ji Ling said that Yuan Shu wanted Li Yi to be the shepherd of Jingzhou, they couldn't calm down anymore.

What Ji Ling revealed was no longer provocative, but Chi Guoguo told everyone that Yuan Shu and Li Yi were going to fight Liu Biao together!

In fact, Ji Ling's strategy of two tigers competing for food is not clever in itself, but it is extremely useful for the current situation in Jingzhou.

Regardless of what the ordinary soldiers were thinking, the way Zhang Hu and Wang Yi looked at Li Yi was already a little different.

Especially Wang Yi, this is Wang Wei's son, and Wang Wei is Liu Biao's diehard loyalist!

Ji Ling let out a breath slowly. Although his right arm was still in pain, he was smiling. He felt that what he said was really good. As long as it was heard by Liu Biao, Liu Biao would definitely want to kill Li. The change is quick, but Li Yi is the prefect who was personally appointed by the emperor. As long as Liu Biao's head is not broken, he can't do it directly in a short period of time, otherwise he will definitely lose his reputation.

However, when Li Yi gets through this period of time, how sure is Liu Biao of getting rid of Li Yi?

Thinking that because of what Ji Yongyi said today, Jingzhou would be in chaos from within, Ji Ling felt three points happier than a big victory!

Ji Ling looked at Li Yi with a smile in his eyes, and Li Yi also looked at Ji Ling.

Originally, Li Yi felt a little guilty for scratching Ji Ling, but now he only hated that he had done too lightly just now.

What Ji Ling just said will definitely spread. Even if Li Yi killed Ji Ling and showed Liu Biao that he had no intention of being friendly with Yuan Shu, wouldn't Liu Biao take those words seriously?

Moreover, just like when Liu Bei voted for Cao Cao, Cao Cao didn't want to kill Liu Bei for fear of losing his support. If Li Yi killed Ji Ling who came to send him to Nanyang today, he would be criticized.

At the same time, it will offend Yuan Shu to death!

Everyone looked at Li Yi, wanting to know how Li Yi would respond to Ji Ling's words.

After a while, Li Yi sighed suddenly, and then asked Ji Ling: "General Ji said before that he would leave the property looted by the rebels in Wan County. I wonder how much the property is worth?"

Ji Ling was taken aback, obviously surprised that Li Yi would talk to him about this, but he had already prepared for it, and said: "The grain and grass are no less than 2000 shi, and the money is [-] million!"

The things Ji Ling said are not false, but are real and ready to be given to Li Yi. After all, compared to the civil strife in Jingzhou, this investment is simply not worth mentioning. He will use Li Yi's hand to recruit troops to fight Liu Biao up.

Li Yi calculated that 1000 million yuan can buy more than 1 shi of grain in Jingzhou. If it is in Gyeonggi, the price of grain is soaring, and a shi of grain is worth thousands of dollars. Sometimes even if you have money, you can’t buy it. So, the money Ji Ling gave is nothing.

In other words, these money and food can't make up for the psychological harm Ji Ling caused to Li Yi.

Li Yi's eyes were slightly closed, and he said leisurely: "I came from Chang'an, and before I entered Nanyang, I gathered more than [-] Nanyang refugees."

Ji Ling raised his brows, and said inwardly that he was not good. Li Yi ignored Liu Biao's thoughts, but settled accounts with him. up.

Li Yi sighed again, hammered his chest hard, and said with great heartache: "Besides, I rode all the way into Xiangyang alone, and saw where the soldiers and horses under General Ji's command were. There were not one out of ten people in the village, and those who died along the road It is not uncommon to see that there are even hawks and dogs eating human corpses around, which makes me tremble with fear.”

"General Ji, I think it's not as simple as being lax in your command, Your Excellency."

Ji Ling blushed slightly, and he didn't know how to explain it. After all, everyone knew what his troops did.

Moreover, Ji Ling originally felt that after he expressed his willingness to support Li Yi in taking Jingzhou, Li Yi would definitely not mention it because of his face, but Li Yi was not polite at all.

This time it was difficult to change Ji Ling, Li Yi also refused to give up, and continued: "Let's not talk about it, but there are 10 Nanyang refugees in Xinye City. Alas, if it weren't for Zhou Mu's benevolence and love for the people, I don't know these [-] refugees. How much more people can live in the future!"

"This is still just a road, a city to see, and Nanyang has more than [-] counties. Yi really can't imagine what the scene is like in those places!"

"General Ji!"

Li Yimeng raised his voice, stared angrily, and shouted at Ji Ling: "Yuan Gong asked General Ji to hand over Nanyang completely to me, and General Ji did just that!"

Ji Ling's face turned even redder. Even Yuan Shu had never scolded him so severely in the past, but today Li Yi did it!

However, Li Yi used his own words to run on him, leaving Ji Ling speechless, with no excuse at all.

Ji Ling was immediately depressed. He really wanted to walk away and tell Li Yi that he was doing this.

However, Ji Ling's angry face only surfaced for a while, and then suppressed.

He just said how Yuan Shu admired Li Yi, and if he turned around and left now, the plan of the two tigers competing for food would fail, and he himself would become a laughing stock.

Money and food, population and face, all of these can be compromised, as long as the way can be cleared for Yuan Shu to take Jingzhou, all the price is worth it!

Thinking of this, Ji Ling took a deep breath, suppressed all kinds of unhappiness in his heart, and revealed a sad look somewhat similar to Li Yi, sighed: "It's all Ji's fault, alas, It's too late to regret, what do you think the Marquis Xiang should do now?"

Chapter 175

Li Yi glanced at Ji Ling, understood that Ji Ling was asking him to ask for a price, and he was not polite, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yi thinks that General Ji should provide some more money and food to help the people return to their homes."

"How much?" Ji Ling asked.

"50 shi of grain, [-] million yuan!"

"What did you say!"

Even though Ji Ling was devoting himself to acting, he was mentally prepared, but when he heard Li Yi's asking price, he immediately exploded.

With so much, why didn't he, Li Yi, grab it?

Li Yi had a kind face and asked curiously, "Oh, what's wrong with General Ji? Why are you so excited?"

"You! Say! What!"

These three words came out completely from between Ji Ling's teeth. He thought that Li Yi would ask for a lot of money, and he was ready to make some concessions in his heart. After taking over Nanyang in his hands, it was impossible to argue with Liu Biao afterwards.

But Ji Ling never expected that Li Yi's asking price would be so outrageous!
