Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Although Zhang Hu is the main general of the reinforcements, Zhang Hu's soy sauce should not be too obvious. He didn't need Li Yi to take the initiative to show up, and he gave all the glory to Li Yi.

Some people may think that this tiger is timid and a bit embarrassing, but Li Yi thinks that this guy is very smart, and it is the long-term way not to steal the limelight that he cannot achieve.

Li Yi didn't take the initiative to mention the matter of Ji Ling and Wang Yi to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao didn't ask, as if he didn't know it at all. Liu Biao just happily praised Li Yi for being a famous general, and he killed Ji Ling without a single soldier. The army was forced to retreat.

Liu Biao's exaggeration is obviously a little too much. You must know that Li Yi sent hundreds of soldiers to die in one breath before sending troops. It can be said that whether it is Li Yi's final success or Cai Mao's life, it is all with those lives. In exchange, but Liu Biao just didn't mention a word.

After that, the rest of the Jingzhou officials were naturally unambiguous, and all kinds of compliments were sent to Li Yi.

Li Yi responded to everyone's compliments very modestly, and at the same time did not forget to talk about Zhang Hu's role.

Zhang Hu himself could not argue, but Li Yi couldn't really ignore Zhang Hu, and Li Yi asked Zhang Hu to take over Cai Hao, so he had the intention of giving way.

Li Yi also paid attention to Wang Wei's reaction when he was courteous with everyone, and found that Wang Wei had been standing beside Liu Biao like a door god, with a sullen face, without saying a word, obviously in a bad mood.

As far as Li Yi knows, Wang Wei is a very loyal person, but that's all. Li Yi is not clear about Wang Wei's heart and other aspects of character, so Li Yi already has feelings for Wang Wei. Many guards.

When everyone's compliments were almost finished, Liu Biao coughed lightly, and everyone stepped aside, and then said with emotion: "I originally wanted to make Degui or Gongji the commander in chief and take back Nanyang, but I didn't want them to lose one after another. Now there is no one in Xinye." , I think Yunlong has a good command of troops, and he is the prefect of Nanyang, the commander of the three armies must be Yunlong!"

Before this, it was not the first time that Liu Biao suggested that Li Yi lead troops, but Li Yi kept refusing, and now he spoke again, and he was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Although Liu Biao's tone was as usual, many people present felt that something was wrong.

Especially thinking that after Cai Mao's news was sent back, not only did Liu Biao not let out a sigh of relief, but his face became even more ugly, which made people have to think about it.

Li Yi thought that Liu Biao was indeed kinder and kinder, but his suspicious character was also obvious. As soon as he got the news, he started to test again.

Li Yi shook his head and said: "Only a senior general in the army can take on such an important task. Jingzhou is full of talents, and Yi dare not make people laugh."

Liu Biao still had the usual smile and said, "But now only Yunlong can take on the heavy responsibility!"

Liu Biao's words are not false, but Li Yi's attitude remains the same, saying: "Last night when marching, I think General Zhang acted smoothly, neither flinching nor aggressive, he can be the commander of the three armies, if the state shepherd is not at ease, just send a It is enough to be assisted by wise men.”

Zhang Hu, who was trying to reduce his sense of presence, was heartbroken when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Prefect Li is too famous, Zhang can bring five thousand soldiers at most, any more will cause chaos."

Zhang Hu's words made many people laugh, Liu Biao also smiled slightly, and said: "General Zhang Hu doesn't need to underestimate himself, three thousand today, five thousand tomorrow, and ten thousand soldiers in the future is justified."

"Thank you Zhou Mu for the reminder."

Zhang Hu bowed to Liu Biao, Liu Biao smiled and nodded slightly, as for calling Zhang Hu in command, he didn't discuss it at all.

Then Liu Biao looked at Li Yi again, and didn't mention the matter of leading the army, but said: "The Jingzhou army has encountered obstacles everywhere in the past few days, and only Yunlong has not lost the wind in front of Ji Ling. Today, I will hold a banquet for Li Taishou Celebrate with General Zhang!"

The people around Liu Biao were about to respond, but Li Yi hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Zhou Mu!"

"Oh."

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking, and asked, "What's the matter with Yunlong?"

But beyond Liu Biao's expectation, Li Yi smiled wryly and said, "Please forgive me, Zhou Mu. Yi has been running around for two consecutive days without closing his eyes. Now he is really tired. Please ask Zhou Mu to allow me to rest for half a day."

Liu Biao was stunned, and it was true when he saw it. Li Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was not very good. He was indeed very tired, and he said quickly: "It's all because of the negligence of the old man. Say it again!"

With Liu Biao's promise, Li Yi took the opportunity to resign. He was telling the truth. After two days of continuous tossing, he felt that his brain was not working. Moreover, he also wanted to give Liu Biao some time to digest the information.

After Li Yi left, the rest of the officials also retreated one after another. Liu Biao stood there for a while, rubbed his brows, and called Wang Wei and Zhang Hu to the study.

Li Yi was really tired. It was already night when he opened his eyes after taking a break. This made Li Yi very speechless. Originally, he wanted to visit Cai Mao, but it was so late that he had to give up.

So, Li Yi thought about the arrangements for the next few days, and simply got lazy for a while, fell back to sleep, and didn't get up until dawn the next day.

After breakfast, Li Yi went to meet Liu Biao. He knew that Liu Biao had obtained what he needed from Zhang Hu, Wang Yi and others, but Li Yi was deeply skeptical about whether Liu Biao could make a decision.

After the two met, compared to the refreshed Li Yi, Liu Biao had big bags under his eyes. Obviously, he didn't have a good rest last night.

Also, there is a prefect next to him who may collude with Yuan Shu, so it's no wonder Liu Biao can sleep soundly.

However, Liu Biao's superficial skills are very good. When he saw Li Yi, he smiled kindly: "Ji Ling has already retreated, so it's okay for Yunlong to rest for a few more days."

Li Yi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Zhou Mu, for your concern. Yi also thought so, but the small town of Xinye is rudimentary. When he wakes up, not only does he not recover from fatigue, but his whole body is sore."

Liu Biao's heart suddenly tightened. Li Yi said that Xinye was simple and uncomfortable to sleep in. Could it be that he was guilty of a thief and couldn't wait to run away?

Chapter 178

In fact, after learning that Li Yi might form an alliance with Yuan Shu, Liu Biao was already preventing Li Yi from running away.

Li Yi rested and slept soundly yesterday, but Liu Biao was very vigilant, and ordered Wang Wei to double the guards inside and outside the county office, especially after nightfall, the defense was very careful, in order to prevent Li Yi from escaping overnight.

Although Li Yi's strength is very weak, with only [-] people under his command, he has a reputation for righteousness in the court, and the current emperor of Han still has some appeal. It's definitely not as simple as a headache.

Therefore, Liu Biao had some expectations, hoping that Li Yi would really sneak away and be caught by him at that time. It is always right to say that Li Yi has ulterior motives, right?

Even if you really do something to Li Yi, outsiders can't say that Liu Biao is not kind, right?

But Liu Biao didn't expect that Li Yi not only didn't run away, but instead took the initiative to come to the door and told him face to face that he wanted to leave. How would Liu Biao deal with this?

Forced house arrest?

Paper can't hold fire, once it gets out, the influence will be too vicious, as for agreeing, Liu Biao didn't think about it at all.

Seeing that Liu Biao's old face became more and more restless, and the corners of his mouth were about to twitch, Li Yi secretly smiled inwardly, and said in surprise, "Hey, what's wrong with Zhou Mu, but what's wrong with your body?"

Liu Biao hastily coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, and said, "It seems that the servants here are negligent in discipline."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao's heart moved, he secretly thought he had a solution, and said with a smile: "Xinye is a small city after all, it is far from being comparable to Xiangyang. If Yunlong thinks Xinye is simple, he can stay with me in Xiangyang for a longer time in the future."

Liu Biao thinks very well, obviously house arrest is definitely not acceptable, but he can ask Li Yi to stay in Xiangyang "voluntarily".

Anyway, this situation is not permanent, as long as it can be confirmed that Li Yi and Yuan Shu are not in collusion, and wait for him to fully grasp the situation in Nanyang.

However, although Liu Biao thought this method was good, he was also worried that Li Yi would be too resistant. After all, his intentions should not be too obvious.

Liu Biao waited carefully for Li Yi's reaction, and then saw the astonishment on Li Yi's face as expected, and secretly said badly, feeling that he was too impatient and should proceed step by step.

No, the surprise on Li Yi's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a kind of

I saw Li Yi said with a complicated expression: "Since Li entered Luoyang, there was never a day when he was exhausted, and there was no night when he was frightened. After going south to Jingzhou, although he didn't have to spend so much thought, he still lived a clear life. Alas, I am not afraid of Zhou Mu. Just a joke, in the past six months or so, only the two days in Xiangyang a few days ago were the most comfortable."

Liu Biao nodded subconsciously. Li Yi's words may be a little exaggerated, but it's not too much. Put yourself in the shoes and think about it. With regard to the things Li Yi did, it's no wonder he can sleep peacefully!

At this time, Li Yi said again: "Although Ji Ling has verbally promised to withdraw, it will take quite a while for Nanyang to sort it out. I think it will cause a lot of trouble, but I still ask Zhou Mu to make amends. Li Yi is tired and wants to rest in Xiangyang For some time, I will recharge my energy and store up my energy, and I hope Zhou Mu will agree."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Biao was really surprised that Li Yi took the initiative to say that he wanted to stay in Xiangyang?

"Yunlong wants to stay in Xiangyang to cultivate?"

"I also ask the state shepherd to agree!"
