Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing Gao Shun looking at him eagerly, Li Yi drank a glass of wine calmly, really calmly.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Yi said slowly: "If Fengxian wants to take Yanzhou, I can plan two steps for Fengxian. As for the rest, it depends on Fengxian himself."

Gao Shun immediately asked, "Which two steps?"

Li Yi pointed on the map and said, "First of all, Chang'an is not a place to stay for a long time. Feng Xian's first step is to leave Chang'an as soon as possible. However, he does not leave in vain. Before leaving, he needs to ask the court to be the prefect of Dongjun. "

Gao Shun nodded first, but then shook his head and smiled wryly: "To be honest with Marquis Xiang, those courtiers are trying to win Fengxian and guard against Fengxian. Fengxian has military power, so it is easy for Fengxian to leave Chang'an, but the courtiers will definitely be dissatisfied if he leaves Chang'an, so the matter of the Dongjun prefect may be difficult."

Li Yi laughed out loud when he heard this, Gao Shun could only ask, "Why are you laughing, Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi explained: "Boping and Fengxian are both too upright. Although the post of Dongjun prefect needs to be invited from the imperial court, the person who invites him does not necessarily have to be Fengxian!"

Not to mention Gao Shun's bewildered face, even Zhang Liao's eyes were full of confusion, because with Lu Bu's connections, no one really could ask for a prefect to do it for him.

Seeing this, Li Yi could only point it out thoroughly: "Fengxian's embarrassment is nothing more than those so-called important officials who are evasive about Fengxian and have ulterior motives, so it is naturally difficult for Fengxian to negotiate with them, but if Li Jue went to sigh with the courtiers What about this?"

"Li Jue?"

Gao Shun said in surprise, "The relationship between Li Jue and Feng Xian is very tense, how could he help Feng Xian?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "The conflict between Li Jue and Fengxian is only because of the land of Chang'an, but if Fengxian tells Li Jue that he intends to go far away from Yanzhou, but there is no place to settle down, please ask Li Jue to plan a Dongjun county on his behalf." Do you think Li Jue will accept the post of prefect?"

Gao Shun's eyes brightened immediately, and he asked Li Jue to send Lu Bu out of Chang'an, not to mention a prefect, I'm afraid he was a state shepherd, Li Jue could go all out to get an imperial edict for Lu Bu.

As for the support and resistance in the court

I'm sorry, but Li Jue is better than Dong Zhuo when he catches and kills anyone. With the pissing nature of those guys in the court, they would obediently agree to it even without Li Jue's hands, and Lu Bu just needs to sit back and enjoy his achievements.

But thinking of this, Gao Shun wondered again, since he borrowed Li Jue's help, and the villain also asked Li Jue to do it, why didn't he just ask for an edict to make Lu Bu the shepherd of Yanzhou?

Li Yi looked at Gao Shun's suspicious eyes, and if he realized something, he asked with a smile, "Boping is wondering why he didn't just ask the emperor to make Fengxian the governor of the state."

Gao Shun's face suddenly showed shame, and he was very embarrassed. After all, this idea inevitably made people feel a little greedy.

Seeing him like this, Li Yi knew that he had guessed right, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Gao Shun's idea. After all, it was human nature at that time, so he patiently explained to him: "The state shepherd is the emperor's shepherd guarding one side. However, Cao Cao has just quelled the civil strife in Yanzhou, and because of his meritorious service, he was granted the title of governor of the state, so even though there is a lot of chaos in the court, he will not carry out such an act of changing the order overnight."

"Even if Li Jue exerts pressure to force the emperor to appoint Fengxian as the shepherd of Yanzhou, the people of the world will not recognize it, let alone the people of Yanzhou. At that time, before Fengxian enters Yanzhou, Cao Cao will fight with soldiers and horses. At that time Cao Cao waits for work with leisure, but Fengxian is an exhausted army, isn't it a great disadvantage?"

"So, let Fengxian be the prefect of Dongjun. Although Fengxian's reputation is a bit wronged, only in this way can he enter Yanzhou smoothly. As for Cao Cao, no matter how dissatisfied or fearful he is, Yanzhou He has just recovered, and his heart is still uncertain. He also needs to cultivate and thrive. If he launches an army against Feng Xian at this time, he will lose the support of the people, and will give others a reason to say that he attacked the prefect appointed by the court without authorization, which is an act of disobedience. In this way, Cao Cao's Yanzhou Mu has almost come to an end."

After listening to Li Yi's explanation, Gao Shun nodded subconsciously, admiring and ashamed in his heart, so he could only say: "Mr. Xiang's ingenuity really makes Shun very impressed."

Li Yi waved his hand modestly, and continued: "Boping is listening to me about the second part."

Gao Shun hurriedly said: "Yes, Shun is all ears."

Li Yi tapped on the table lightly, deduced it again in his mind, and then said: "After Feng Xiande was appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Dongjun, besides going to the post as soon as possible, he also had to reply to Yuan Shu, saying that he agreed to Yuan Shu's conditions, but the journey was far away. It's not easy to run around, so I can only temporarily take Dongjun as a place to live. Just wait for the incident in Yangzhou, and then raise troops in Dongjun to respond. Try to defend Yanzhou, wait for Wang Shi, and at the same time share the pressure for Yangzhou."

"Of course, being attached to Yuan Shu is just an excuse. Before Yuan Shu started the incident, Feng Xian could use this as an excuse to ask Yuan Shu for more money, food and war horses for later use."

Gao Shun couldn't help but bowed his hands again to express his admiration. At the same time, he secretly felt that Li Yi was really bad enough. He gave up and didn't forget to take advantage of Yuan Shu.

However, what Gao Shun didn't know was that Li Yi's move not only allowed Lu Bu to strengthen his strength and fight Cao Cao, but also meant to cut off the possibility of reconciliation between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. He will forgive Lu Bu, and it will be difficult for Lu Bu to find other allies in the future. He can only wander in the Central Plains as in the original history, and eventually become a consumable to restrain Cao Cao's footsteps.

Gao Shun seemed to have thought of some similar questions, and asked, "Mr. Xiang's method is very good. Before Feng left the inner city first, he had a lot of wealth. It would be great if he could get supplies from Yuan Shu. But in this way, whether Will you bear the name of injustice?"

Gao Shun was very worried. After all, Lv Bu's reputation was not good, and Yuan Shu's reputation was likely to decline again after this incident.

Li Yi squinted his eyes slightly, secretly thinking that Gao Shun also had ideas, but Li Yi was already prepared for this, and Li Yi smiled and said: "There is no need for Boping to worry about this. You need to know that once Yuan Shu makes trouble, he will definitely He has become the target of public criticism, but the imperial court is short of major generals, so they can only rely on local officials to attack him. At that time, as long as he grasps the righteousness and breaks with him decisively, the imperial court will only reward him, so who would consider how to associate with Yuan Shu before?"

"Also, as I said before, Yuan Shu also invited me to join the rebellion, and I agreed. In fact, I am similar to Fengxian, but I just want to take advantage of the opportunity to seek some benefits. As long as you don't really help Yuan Shu, fame and fortune will come naturally in the end. receive."

When Gao Shun heard it, since Li Yi also had the same idea, he naturally had nothing to worry about.

But Gao Shun didn't know that although they were all fooling Yuan Shu, Li Yi didn't take any actual benefits from Yuan Shu at all, but as long as Lu Bu took Yuan Shu's money and food, it would be a nonsense.

Gao Shun asked again: "Since this is the case, how should Fengxian plan Yanzhou? If he used troops against Cao Cao for no reason, wouldn't it damage his reputation?"

Li Yi chuckled and said, "If Yuan Shu rebelled, the imperial court would order the nearby states and counties to confiscate it. Cao Cao's previous military exploits would definitely be included in the list. However, after a year of hard work, how likely is it that Cao Cao will send troops again?"

Gao Shun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

Li Yi stretched out a few fingers and said, "Based on my estimation, once there is a change in Yangzhou, Cao Cao's dispatch of troops may be around [-]%. After all, if you don't hear about it, you will lose people's hearts."

Gao Shun nodded, this nod was chaotic, but the Han Dynasty was still very appealing.

Li Yi continued: "However, once Fengxian settles in Dongjun, Cao Cao will definitely test Fengxian's intentions. With all due respect, although Fengxian's bravery is unmatched in this world, there is a lack of resourceful people under his command, and Cao Cao himself is very resourceful. And there are many people around who are good at planning, even if you can't find out Fengxian's specific plan, it is not difficult to guess Fengxian's general intention."

Gao Shun met Cao Cao on the battlefield, and there was even a feud between the two, but he didn't really know much about it, so he attached great importance to Li Yi's words, and couldn't help worrying: "Isn't this a good thing for Feng Xian?" unfavorable?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, if Cao Cao didn't know, how would Feng Xian act?"

Gao Shun immediately had a question mark in his head. Seeing this, Li Yi felt a sense of superiority. At the same time, he was also a little worried. If Lv Bu and Cao Cao were to fight so early, would Lv Bu be defeated quickly and then be swallowed by Cao Cao?

Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Yi continued to explain to Gao Shun: "Cao Cao knew that Fengxian came with bad intentions, so he must take precautions. In this case, even if there were changes in Yangzhou, Cao Cao would not dare to send troops, otherwise the rear would be empty. If you seize it first, you will become rootless duckweed."

"At that time, as long as Fengxian didn't follow the truth, he didn't give Cao Cao the opportunity to act first, and then waited for the changes. He only waited for Cao Cao to not send troops to Yangzhou for a long time, and then he could urge Cao Cao to send troops. If Cao Cao still didn't move, he could report to the court. The Shangzuo bluntly stated that Cao Cao had a close relationship with the Yuan family, and that he secretly conspired with Yuan Shu, and then launched an attack on him. If Fengxian arranges it properly, with this move, Cao Cao may be taken down in one fell swoop, and then Yanzhou will be controlled!"

"Afterwards, when this matter is reported back to the court, no matter whether the lord of the court, Feng Xian, believes it or not, but Yuan Shu's rebellion, half of the southeast wall is on fire, no matter what he really thinks, for the sake of the overall situation, the emperor must admit that Feng Xian did what he said, and then follow the trend Appoint Fengxian as Yanzhou Mu!"

Listening to the last three words "Yanzhou Mu", not to mention Gao Shun's heart was burning, and even Zhang Liao looked at Li Yi anxiously. It wasn't that Zhang Liao had any other ideas, but that he was also persuaded. Since it was so easy to get Yanzhou Mu, why didn't Li Yi make another plan himself and "send" it to Lu Bu so easily, which is really a loss.

Li Yi ignored Zhang Liao's gaze, and asked Gao Shun with a smile, "Does Boping think this plan is feasible?"

Gao Shun took a deep breath, bowed to Li Yiyi, paused for a moment, and then said softly: "The Marquis Xiang has been kind to me before, and today he helped Feng Xian to seek Yanzhou. How can we bear this kindness?" ah!"

Li Yi laughed, helped Gao Shun up, and said: "Bo Ping is offended when he said this, and to be honest, if Feng Xian succeeds, he will actually help me vent my anger!"

"Oh?"

Gao Shun raised his head in doubt and asked, "Is there any grudge between Cao Cao and Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi snorted lightly, and said: "Cao Cao is rude. During the New Year, Cao Cao sent an envoy to visit, but he spoke rudely to my wife and concubine. Although I killed the envoy, I was very angry."

Li Yi deliberately brought up his little friction with Cao Cao. After all, Cao Cao is also a calculating man. Coupled with Lu Bu's mood, if someone told Lu Bu about this, maybe Lu Bu would think that he deliberately provoked him to fight Cao Cao. Although it doesn't have a big impact on the overall situation, there is one more variable after all, so it's better to say it voluntarily.

"There are still such things, don't worry, Xianghou, if there is a chance, Fengxian will definitely say this for Xianghou!"

Gao Shun nodded knowingly, but didn't take it to heart. After all, this little conflict was really not a big deal, but then Gao Shun remembered that he wanted Li Yi to be Lu Bu's son-in-law. Li Yi's attitude towards the women in his family is really a pity.

Li Yi cupped his hands and said, "So I'm here to thank Feng Xian in advance."

Gao Shun shook his head and said, "Where, I'm the one waiting for Marquis Xie Xiang."

Li Yi smiled slightly, turned his eyes to Zhang Liao, and said, "If Fengxian hadn't cut off his love, and Wenyuan could not help me, how would I be where I am today? Therefore, planning a Yanzhou for Fengxian is all part of the job. The so-called thank you word is not It’s impossible to talk about.”

It was Gao Shun who was moved before, but in a blink of an eye, it was Zhang Liao's turn this time.
