Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

When complimenting Dian Wei, Wen Pin felt a little strange. Li Yi asked him to get closer to Dian Wei. It sounded like he was being brought under his command?

After the few people were seated, Li Yi asked someone to serve Wenpin with drinks. After that, there was nothing that Wenpin was worried about. He put down his wine glass, and began to look at Wenpin with his eyes, and Wenpin looked very uncomfortable.

As a last resort, Wenpin also put down his wine glass and asked, "I wonder why Marquis Xiang keeps looking at Wen?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "I just sigh with emotion. The general is the general of Jingzhou, but he sits idle at home. It is really regrettable and puzzled."

Wenpin said with a wry smile: "Mr. Xiang, Miao Zan, can't hire an ordinary martial artist, and can't be used for much."

Originally, Wenpin wanted to proceed step by step, but he was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't help it when he opened his mouth, only to hear Wenpin say again: "Although I haven't left the house for the past few months, I have also heard about the training of the Marquis Xiang. I have seen it with my own eyes, but I dare to say that if the order is enforced, the army under the command of the Marquis Xiang will probably be the most powerful!"

"It's just that, as an official and a general, it is a matter of duty to defend one's homeland. Now that Yuan Shuxing's unjust soldiers have invaded Jingzhou, Jiang Xia is already in dire straits. Since Marquis Xiang has such an elite army, why does he not move? Sit back and watch Yuan Shu's misbehavior, isn't he afraid of living up to the name of benevolence and righteousness of Xianghou!"

At first, Wenpin's voice was relatively steady and his posture was relatively low, but as he spoke, he couldn't help himself, and couldn't help but raise his voice too high.

Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately slapped the jerky on the table and said angrily, "An dare to be rude to my lord!"

Dianwei's voice was loud, and Wenpin was taken aback by the roar, and then he smiled wryly and cupped his hands and said, "Pinji couldn't control himself at the moment, lost his composure, please forgive me, Marquis Xiang."

"It's okay."

Li Yi waved his hand, graciously signaled Wenpin to waive the gift, and then said: "Zhongye has a benevolent heart, which is very good. It is inevitable to be angry when Jiang Xia suffers. I understand."

Wenpin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that Li Yi had a lot of opinions on him, and he was very worried that what he said just now was too direct, and he was judged to have annoyed Li Yi. Now seeing that Li Yi didn't look angry, he was very relieved, and he complimented: "The Marquis Xiang has a large number of people, and I admire him so much."

Li Yi shook his head and sighed: "Actually, when Zhongye came to the door for the first time, although Li didn't meet you, he also knew why you came. After that, although I was indeed busy with things and it was inconvenient to meet each other, it was also because , I don’t know how to respond to the general!”

Wenpin didn't feel very good, and asked cautiously, "How do you say that?"

Li Yi explained: "Yuan Shu's unrighteous soldiers made the people of Jiangxia suffer, and all virtuous people in the world should attack them. Although Li does not dare to speak virtuously, but seeing Yuan Shu like this, he always wants to raise a three-foot sword. , kill those rebels, but"

Li Yi sighed for a long time, and said: "Mr. Li has a bit of righteousness in his heart, but he also has some selfishness. Asking Yi to send troops to Jiangxia at this moment, to be a pawn for someone, or even to prevent disasters, Li can't swallow the pain in his heart." Tone!"

Wen Pin's face was tangled. He naturally knew something about the matter between Li Yi and Liu Biao.

Although the process of the matter was a bit weird, and the two became enemies inexplicably, but in the end, Li Yi was wronged and morally wronged, so Li Yi complained and didn't want to contribute to Liu Biao. I think it's justifiable.

However, thinking of the anxious situation in Jingzhou today, Wenpin still couldn't help it, and said: "Could it be that Marquis Xiang is going to forget justice because of a little self-interest?"

Before Li Yi could answer, Dian Wei on the side laughed and said, "It's about self-interest, it's about justice."

Dian Wei's voice was very arrogant, Wen Pin was a little annoyed when he heard it, and immediately asked: "Why is General Dian Wei laughing?"

Dian Wei snorted coldly: "My lord's reputation for loyalty is well known to the world, and he has made great contributions. If it wasn't for my lord's willingness to take risks and go deep into the land of tigers and wolves, Dong Zhuo might have become emperor long ago. Let alone Jingzhou now, the whole The world is in chaos, how much credit is this?"

"Look at that fellow Liu Biao again. Except for his surname Liu, he is useless. Although Yuan Shu of Yangzhou is wrong to call himself king, what point in his proclamation is a nonsense? Hehe, since General Wen is dedicated to serving the public, why don't you go and persuade him?" How about persuading Liu Biao to give up the state shepherd's position to my lord, and my lord will raise troops to break the siege of Jiangxia immediately?"

Wenpin was dumbfounded by Dian Wei's words. Although many people now feel that Li Yi covets Jingzhou Mu, and Wenpin is no exception, they did not expect him to say such fruitless words.

Seeing Wenpin's face flushed, Li Yi gave Dianwei a look of approval, then filled Wenpin's glass of wine with a smile, and said, "General Wen, don't get angry with this reckless man, his It’s just a casual talk, it’s not true.”

Wenpin was speechless, thinking that your performance was too fake, and couldn't you hide the joy in your eyes when you looked at Dianwei?

However, after Dian Wei made such a fuss, Wenpin did not fail to withdraw it. He probably saw that although Li Yi had a good reputation, was loyal, and loved the people, in fact he was more like a businessman, wanting to use righteousness. It is very difficult for fame to force him to do things, unless he can come up with some benefits that will tempt him.

But Wenpin is not even an official now. Even when he was an official, he was not as high as Li Yi. What can he give Li Yi?

However, Wenpin immediately thought that since Li Yi met him, it meant that there must be something to talk about today, otherwise why did he meet him?

Wenpin took a deep breath and asked directly: "I don't know how the Marquis Xiang is willing to send troops?"

Li Yi smiled and didn't answer, but said: "The latest news is that Liu Biao dispatched troops from Xinye and Ye County to help Anlu. Liu Xian recommended Huang Zhong as the commander-in-chief of the army, but Liu Biao didn't. Use Zhang Yun, alas, tell me, can Zhang Yun make things happen?"

Wenpin's face changed suddenly. Before that, he and Zhang Yun were both generals of Jingzhou, and they both commanded troops in Xinye, Xiangyang. Wenpin knew how much Zhang Yun had, but now facing a strong enemy, Liu Biao didn't need strong generals. Instead, I used a mediocre

"Liu Jingsheng, you are so confused!"

Wenpin couldn't help but clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the thigh. He didn't care about Zhang Yun's life or death, but he cared about those soldiers, especially those in Xinye, many of whom he had led.

Almost subconsciously, Wenpin stood up from his seat and was about to walk out.

Seeing this, Li Yi shouted, "Where is General Wen going?"

Wen Pin paused, and said: "Wen can't just watch those tens of thousands of Jingxiang disciples being murdered by mediocrity!"

Li Yi chuckled lightly, and said, "Okay, General Wen, go slowly, and Li will not see you off."

There was obvious irony in Li Yi's voice, and Wen Pin was very uncomfortable to hear it. He turned his head and glared at Li Yi, his dissatisfaction was obvious.

Li Yi glanced at Wen Pin, and said with a chuckle: "I was thinking, is General Wen planning to seize Zhang Yun's military power by virtue of his own prestige on the way, or that you go to Xiangyang to seek Liu Biao's deadly advice, and let him go back on his word and become the leader of the army?" Jingzhou's joke?"

Chapter 380 Conquering the South General?

"I"

Wenpin's figure swayed slightly, but Li Yi's question gave him a deep sense of powerlessness.

Indeed, Wenpin has that self-confidence, relying on his prestige, he is absolutely sure to grab Zhang Yun's military power, but things can't be done like that, Wenpin is not that kind of person, not to mention, this is a war, it's too taboo Things can't be done, otherwise he would snatch Zhang Yun's military power, and it is estimated that he will receive the "reward" from Yuan Shu the next day.

As for seeking Liu Biao's death advice, hehe

Before, we had a bad quarrel with Liu Biao, Wenpin resigned from office, and Liu Biao invited him several times, but Wenpin stayed behind closed doors, which made Liu Biao very dissatisfied with Wenpin, and he didn’t even allow anyone to mention Wenpin’s name in front of him. .

But after what happened in Jiangxia, Wenpin couldn't sit still. If Liu Biao recruited him again at this time, Wenpin would definitely agree to it without hesitation. He did this not for Liu Biao, but for Jingzhou. Naturally, grievances are nothing.

However, Liu Biao did not invite Wenpin, which shows that Liu Biao still remembers what happened at the beginning. If Wenpin came to the door at this time and expressed his willingness to listen to Liu Biao, with Liu Biao's heart, he would definitely accept him, but if it was according to what Li Yi said , Wenpin passed at this point in time, let Liu Biao change his orders day and night, and changed his generals just before the battle, or changed Liu Biao's trusted generals. It is impossible to think about it.

"Zhongye, come here, don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say."

At this time, Guo Jia got up with a smile and pulled Wen Pin back. Wen Pin was slightly entangled, and Guo Jia took advantage of the opportunity to push him to the seat. After a few mouthfuls, he was really depressed.

Li Yi and Guo Jia exchanged meaningful glances, cleared their throats, and said: "After Li heard the news that day, he was unable to control himself for a while, so he intended to send troops. However, Mr. Wen He advised that if I go to Jiangxia to fight Yuan Shu, it is difficult to support each other with Huang Zu, and Liu Biao will never send a single soldier to Jiangxia before my troops are dead or injured. , I will probably have to assign soldiers and horses to raise food by myself.”

Wenpin is a general who leads troops, so he naturally understands what it means to raise food by himself.

"In such a situation, Li's previous hard work will all disappear and he will return to his white body. Even if he saves his life for a while, the winner after the event, whether it is Liu Biao or Yuan Shu, will never tolerate my life. General Wen is a man. Smart man, do you think what I said is true or not?"

Wenpin lowered his head, although he didn't speak, he acquiesced to this meaning.

Li Yi smiled slightly and continued: "General Wen lives in Wancheng, so he must know that Liu Biao has refused to subsidize food and grass in Nanyang. I went to Yangzhou a few years ago, and I noticed that Yuan Shu was recruiting soldiers and buying horses, sharpening his knives. There are signs of a battle, but there is no conclusive evidence, so I dare not speak nonsense, let alone tell Liu Biao, I can only recruit as many soldiers as possible, just in case, but the lack of weapons and armor makes it impossible to form an army, and I have no choice but to be cheeky I prayed to Liu Biao, but in the end my emissary was kicked out by Liu Biao, alas, Li has lost all face!"

Wenpin didn't answer the question. In fact, in his opinion, Li Yi and Liu Biao are not as kind as they seem on the surface. If you have to compare, except that Liu Biao's assassination of Li Yi is too wrong, the other two people It's almost the same.

One is not broad-minded enough, a lot of age, can't even tolerate a young man, and the other is terrible, doesn't do things in a down-to-earth manner, and thinks about climbing up every day. If such two people can get along, they will be damned.

Li Yi didn't know that Wenpin was planning him in his mind, and continued to say: "General Wen is an upright person, so I won't be fooled. To tell you the truth, I have [-] soldiers under my command. Although the morale is good, but More than [-]% of them usually use wooden shields and wooden spears, and they cannot go into battle at all."
