Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Liu Biao let out a breath on his back, shook his head and said, "What do Yunlong think of this old man?"

"Forehead"

Li Yi subconsciously wanted to say that Liu Biao was a good person, and that he loved the people like a son, but listening to Liu Biao's tone, it was obviously not the same thing.

At this time, Guo Jia glanced at Liu Biao, looked thoughtfully, then looked at Li Yi, and then signaled everyone in the room to exit slowly, and Liu Biao also spoke in a timely manner, which was not the slightest difference from the reaction of Guo Jia and others. unexpected.

"Don't mention Yunlong, the old man also knows that it is nothing more than benevolence, generosity, or loving the people like children, alas!"

"Hehe, why does this old man know, because people in Jingzhou say so."

There was a deep sense of loneliness in Liu Biao's tone, so Li Yi couldn't figure out Liu Biao's context for a while, so he could only follow along: "This is well deserved, if there is no kindness from the state herdsman, how can the people of Jingzhou live and work in peace and contentment?" ?”

What Li Yi said was indeed the truth, but Liu Biao sighed again, and said with a wry smile: "Although the old man is generous, he is intolerant. Although he loves talents, he is suspicious and jealous, hehehe."

Hearing Liu Biao's wry smile, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, what the hell is Liu Biao doing?

Although it is not impossible to belittle yourself when you are humble, but what Liu Biao said is too much. It is a complete admission that he is a hypocrite.

"Zhou Mu, where did you start talking?"

Li Yi was also a little nervous, and hurried to persuade him. He felt that Liu Biao's words were probably trying to hold back some big moves later.

Compared to Li Yi's reaction, Liu Biao was calm and said, "Yunlong doesn't believe what I say? Well, let's start with Yunlong."

"Forehead"

Li Yi's expression was a little stiff, he really didn't know how to continue.

I saw Liu Biao raised his eyes slightly, and murmured: "When I first heard the name of Yunlong, the old man was very moved. There is such a hero in the world, and he is young. Given time, it must be the luck of the world, and I am also a big man." Blessing!"

"After learning that Yunlong will be the prefect of Nanyang, the old man was even more ecstatic and drank three times in a row, just because the old man believed that with Yunlong in charge of Nanyang, Jingzhou would have no worries."

"The state shepherd has too much reputation, and he is ashamed. What Yi did before was just opportunistic, and he can't get on the stage. If we really want to talk about talents, if there are elders to point out, it is okay to govern a county. If it is a county, Yi is not. There is so much that is lacking in self-knowledge.”

Liu Biao shook his head slowly, patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and said, "Yunlong is being modest, the old man said that you are talented, not only because of your past achievements, but also because you are young and promising in a high position but not arrogant. This point, I don’t know how many people are better than the world.”

"Hehe, think about it, when I was your age, only the teacher praised me for a good article, so I had to look happy and invite my classmates and friends to get drunk. Now think about it, I only had some literary skills at that time, and the rest of my skills are probably not good. It's really embarrassing to be inferior to you by eleven."

"Hey, this, the state pastor's praise, Yi Shi is ashamed"

What Li Yi said was the truth, Liu Biao's self-deprecating and elevating others really made Li Yi ashamed.

At this time, Liu Biao changed his style of painting and said again: "Okay, let me tell you before, knowing that you are coming to Nanyang, the so-called joy in my heart is nothing more than a momentary feeling. For the next few days, especially when I am alone, I will always worry , and even can't sleep at night, does Yunlong know why?"

Li Yi shook his head, he already felt what Liu Biao was going to say, but he really couldn't answer it, and he didn't dare to answer it.

Liu Biao glanced at Li Yi with a smile, as if he had seen through Li Yi's thoughts, but Liu Biao didn't make things difficult for Li Yi, the smile on his face was fleeting, and he continued: "Just because the old man suddenly remembered one day, Yunlong came from a white body It only took me half a year to become a county magistrate, so I can't help but think about how much Yunlong will need if he wants to be the shepherd of Jingzhou."

Before Liu Biao finished expressing the emotions in his heart, Li Yi's face was already shocked. Regardless of the injury in his chest, he struggled to sit up, with a face full of panic, and said loudly and sincerely: "Please also learn from Zhou Muming, Li Yi You have absolutely no desire to covet Jingzhou!"

Liu Biao shook his head. Compared to Li Yi who was a little shocked in his heart, he seemed very calm. He just sighed, and carefully helped Li Yi to lie down, and then continued: "The old man is now forty and nine. Knowing the fate, the old man now always feels that everything is difficult and powerless. He lives in the head of a state, but his heart intends to return to his hometown, live in a hut, and put his love between the mountains and rivers. There are so many wrongdoers, how can I retreat lightly with the blood of the Han Dynasty?"

"The righteousness of the state animal husbandry can set an example for the world!"

Li Yi gave a flattery in a timely manner, and it was also to ease the previous embarrassment.

But Liu Biao gave a wry smile, and said in a low voice, "Don't flatter me anymore. If I really set an example for the world, then tell me why I didn't move when Yuan Shu sent troops to harm Nanyang before?"

"This"

Faced with this problem, Li Yi had a big brain, and couldn't find an excuse to help Liu Biao save face for a while.

Fortunately, Liu Biao obviously didn't expect Li Yi to give an answer. He said by himself: "At that time, the old man's worries were nothing more than not wanting to spend money and food. You, you can definitely see it, there is no need to deny it, the old man really wants to confide in Yunlong today."

Li Yi fell silent, Liu Biao's words had indeed touched him a lot, which made him a little confused, and it became more and more unclear what Liu Biao was going to do.

"The old man does have the sufferings of the people in his heart, but he also has a bit of selfishness. Now that you are in full swing, you are afraid that you will grow up in Nanyang, cultivate your wings, and then stop listening to the orders of the state government. Your reputation even left you in Xiangyang City, hehe, or, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are under house arrest."

Li Yi still bowed his head and didn't speak. Liu Biao's words were beyond his expectation again. Is this really a "confidence"?

"Until yesterday, when I heard that Yunlong was assassinated, according to my original thinking, the old man thought that even if he was not secretly happy, he should be relieved, but when the incident happened, the old man was terrified and regretful. Can the people of Jingzhou be saved?"

After Liu Biao finished speaking, Li Yi was fine at first, but soon his expression froze, and then he raised his head suddenly, looking at Liu Biao in astonishment and puzzlement.

Liu Biao didn't seem to see Li Yi's expression, and continued: "Since I entered Jingzhou, I have seen that Jingzhou has a lot of talented people. There are countless people who can be prefects, such as Degui, Yidu, and even more great talents. However, no one can control a state."

"It wasn't until Yunlong came that I knew that in time, Yunlong's virtue would definitely be far superior to this old man. Only then did this old man fall into confusion and fear."

"The current situation in the world is strange, with turbulent winds and clouds, and hidden murderous intentions everywhere. The old man is old now. Although he can guard Jingzhou for a while, it is difficult for him to bear the burden. However, since he is a shepherd in Jingzhou, he has to make long-term plans for the people of Jingzhou!"

Speaking of this, the expression on Liu Biao's face gradually became serious, looked at Li Yi and said: "The name of Yunlong is well known in the world, but after all, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing when you are young, so I am afraid that it will be a disaster rather than a blessing. For a period of five years, Yunlong will practice in Nanyang, and after five years, the old man will play the role of the emperor, and give Yunlong the position of state shepherd to Yunlong, and make Yunlong the Jingzhou shepherd!"

Chapter 204 Li Yi Can Only Prove His Innocence

Liu Biao actually wants to let Jingzhou go!

Although Li Yi had been prepared a lot by Liu Biao's repeated words just now, he never expected Liu Biao to be so pretentious!

Fortunately, this kind of surrender of a state is not too new to Li Yi, because it existed in the original Three Kingdoms, and the most famous two times, Liu Bei is the male number one who does his part, and Liu Biao also did it. Once a very important male second.

First, Tao Qian let Xuzhou go, and then Liu Bei took over the Xuzhou seal after three resignations. Liu Bei must have been extremely happy at the time, high-spirited, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to take his brothers to a big fight. , Lu Bu told Liu Bei to return directly to before liberation when he betrayed the water.

When Li Yi first saw this paragraph, he just felt that Zhang Fei was too capable of doing bad things, and Liu Bei was too gullible in Lu Bu, but after thinking about it later, Zhang Fei's incident was just a pretext, and Liu Bei didn't trust Lu Bu foolishly, but Liu Bei trusted Lu Bu too much. With the power at that time, Lu Bu could not be recruited at all.

Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, helped Tao Qian fight against Cao Cao, and gained a lot of prestige, which made Tao Qian make the decision to let Xuzhou go. However, this is just Tao Qian's own idea, not everyone in Xuzhou thinks this way .

Although Liu Bei had a good reputation at the time, his reputation was a vain thing after all. As the real foundation of Xuzhou, what could the aristocratic family get through Liu Bei in this political transaction?

Nothing!

So, why do they work hard for Liu Bei?

Therefore, even if he became the governor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei's two brothers, and the original thousands of soldiers and horses, are two people from the Xuzhou family. Otherwise, even if Lu Bu succeeded in capturing the city, as long as Liu Bei raised his arms for a while , can turn Xiapi into an isolated city, how can Lu Bu jump up and down?

However, Liu Bei couldn't do this. What Xuzhou brought to Liu Bei, apart from fame, was nothing more than a mess.

After that, they may have learned the lessons of Xuzhou. Of course, there are many other factors. He didn't pick up the dead, because Liu Bei knew that he couldn't cover Jingzhou at that time.

From this point of view, Li Yi and Liu Bei's characters and the situations they face are actually five or six points similar.

The so-called state herdsman is nothing more than when the world is peaceful, with the backing of the imperial court, whoever is asked to do what they want can do whatever they want. Admit that you are the state shepherd, you are the state shepherd, otherwise, the name of the state shepherd can only be a half joke.

Now that Liu Biao wants to give up the state shepherd's position to Li Yi, let's not talk about anything else, just ask Li Yi why he can make the Jingzhou family bow their heads in front of him?

Fame, contacts, soldiers, or something else?

Although Li Yi is confident that he has potential, he also knows that he has no way to make the family work for him now, let alone manage Jingzhou, even Nanyang.
