Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It's not that the imperial court doesn't give Liu face, the key is that Zhang Yun has become a marquis, what do the other generals in Jingzhou think?

Yi Ji has already figured out Liu Biao's intention. He wants to take advantage of this victory to build momentum for Zhang Yun, to help Zhang Yun up, and let Zhang Yun surpass Cai Mao, Huang Zhong, Huang Zu, and Wenpin in terms of reputation. In the end, it was convenient for Liu Biao to completely control the military power in Jingzhou.

Of course, there must be a part of the factor. Liu Biao wanted to set an example for the generals in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao thought well, but he ignored two very important issues.

First of all, Zhang Yun is his nephew. With insufficient credit and insufficient prestige, making him a marquis will certainly give Zhang Yun a reputation, but it will also give people an impression of cronyism, which is not inspiring at all. On the contrary, it will make those generals feel dissatisfied with Zhang Yun and create estrangement.

This kind of situation can be ignored in normal times, but now that Jingzhou is struggling to fight the war, the internal instability is already present, and with this happening again, Yi Ji always feels that Liu Biao will lose the big because of small things.

Yi Ji was about to persuade him immediately, but his heart suddenly trembled. Liu Biao was a fan of the authorities, so he didn't want to understand this truth, but so many officials in Jingzhou, especially those at the top, were no less resourceful than him. Can others not understand the hidden dangers that he can see?

Thinking of this, Yi Ji subconsciously looked at Liu Xian. Coincidentally, Liu Xian also happened to look at Yi Ji. Their eyes met. Liu Xian had a wry smile on his face. He shook his head slightly, and then slowly looked away. Although he didn't say anything directly, Yi Ji already understood, and someone must have persuaded him, but Liu Biao didn't listen.

Regarding Liu Biao's increasingly stubborn behavior recently, Yi Ji could only complain in his heart.

Sighing softly, Yi Ji didn't try to persuade him, because he knew that it was useless to say it, especially in front of so many people, Liu Biao would never agree anyway.

At this time, Liu Biao saw Yi Ji was in a daze, and asked, "Why doesn't Uncle Ji see joy?"

Yiji came back to his senses, smiled and said: "Ji really didn't expect that General Zhang Yun would have such a talent, I was fascinated by it for a while, I hope you will forgive me."

Liu Biao laughed, and said: "So, you also know that Zhang Yun has defeated Yuan Shu's spirit, and he just waits for a round with Huang Zu later, and the two join forces. With Huang Zu's stability, he will definitely be able to stop Yuan Shu from Anlu. "

"In this way, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses must be exhausted, and Xiangyang's soldiers and horses are waiting for work, and they will find an opportunity to join forces with Huang Zuli and attack them together. Why don't you worry about not being able to accept Yuan Shu!"

"So, since Li Yi doesn't care about righteousness and doesn't want to send troops, let him go!"

Liu Biao waved his hand, which was a complete statement that Li Yi would not be allowed to send troops to participate in the alliance. In fact, Liu Biao wanted to say in his heart that after driving away Yuan Shu, he turned around and asked Li Yi to settle the score, but thinking about the crowd here, he didn't speak out.

Although Yi Ji felt that Liu Biao's words were a bit inappropriate, but when things came to this, and he had a little more hope for Zhang Yun, he didn't express any further opinions.

Yiji didn't refute, he just felt more tired now.

Liu Biao put aside the piece of cloth Yiji sent, suddenly thought of something, and asked sideways, "By the way, can you see Wenpin?"

Yi Ji's expression faltered, and he bowed his head and said softly: "Ji's seer, Marquis Xiang, learned that Wen Pin had agreed to serve as a general under Li Yi's command, so in order to protect Li Yi's promise to send troops, his subordinates never contacted Wen Pin again. "

"what!"

Liu Biao's originally good mood was suddenly replaced by shame and anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a Li Yi, what a Wen Zhongye, I think the old man has misjudged the person!"

Under such circumstances, Yiji didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he bowed, expressing that he was ashamed that he had failed to complete the task, and then wanted to use fatigue as an excuse to leave, but at this moment, a guard suddenly He rushed in with big strides, and bowed to Liu Biao: "Report to the envoy, General Zhang has sent an urgent report!"

"Ok?"

Immediately, Liu Biao didn't care about being angry anymore, and turned to look at the guards, blinking his eyes, wondering in his heart, he had already sent the battle report once before, why did he come again?

Is it

Liu Biao inexplicably had a very bad idea in his heart.

Not only Liu Biao, but also other people's complexion is not right, there is no way, everyone's confidence in Zhang Yun is really very limited, although they didn't say anything, but nine out of ten think that Zhang Yun's victory was due to luck Beat down.

Liu Xian coughed lightly, stood up and bowed his hands to Liu Biao, then stepped forward to take the battle report from the guard, opened it and looked at it, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he went to the opposite side without a trace. One person glanced at him, finally turned around and smiled at Liu Biao, and congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord, General Zhang Yun fought Ji Ling twice in one day, and he won both battles. My lord's eyesight, please submit first!"

The people present were suddenly in an uproar, and they all stretched their necks to look at the battle report in Liu Xian's hand.

What Liu Xian said just now was too untrue for them. Zhang Yun's winning streak against Ji Ling, this matter is a bit erratic no matter how you look at it.

Liu Biao felt the same way. Don’t look at what he said before, but when the battle report came, he felt so empty. He was so nervous that he even pulled off several beards. Now that he heard the news that he won again, he couldn’t help it. Regardless of his image, he laughed loudly, stood up while laughing, walked quickly to Liu Xian, took the battle report, and read it himself.

Liu Biao glanced twice, his smile restrained, his eyes narrowed, he also glanced at a certain position, then smiled again, and said to everyone: "Zhang Yun defeated Ji Ling for a while before, and then learned from the prisoner that his There was also a group of soldiers hiding nearby, so they followed the vines, set up an ambush, surrounded and wiped them out, beheaded them, captured them, and over a thousand!"

"Congratulations to the envoy, congratulations to the envoy!"

The officials at the scene congratulated Liu Biao one after another. Regardless of their original intentions, Jingzhou won this time. No matter how you say it, it is a happy thing and worth celebrating. Even Huang Zhong, who had been in a gloomy mood, showed excitement , and even a little admiration, because although he was not afraid of Shang Ji Ling, he didn't dare to guarantee two consecutive victories.

Liu Biao laughed and said: "Congratulations, everyone. Although Zhang Yun's victory in the front line was meritorious, it was not due to him alone. It cannot be done without you maintaining the overall situation in the rear. Although the situation in Jingzhou has improved, it is still serious. Winning but slacking off, if you want to completely drive Yuan Shu out of Jingzhou, you need to continue to work together."

After Liu Biao finished speaking, he bowed to the crowd and saluted, the crowd appreciated his words and returned the salute one after another.

However, after Liu Biao got up, the smile on his face disappeared and became extremely serious.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help looking at each other, wondering why Liu Shijun, who was so happy just now, suddenly became like this.

Liu praised the battle report in Yang's hand, and said to everyone: "The place Zhang Yun won was in Sui County, Nanyang. In the first battle, he won about [-] soldiers."

There was not much expression on the faces of the people. This was the news they already knew. Although there were a little more weapons and equipment, it was considered normal.

Liu Biao paced slowly, walked to the side, and continued: "However, in the second battle, regardless of the number of beheads, just weapons and armor, nearly [-] were captured!"

"what!"

"how can that be"

"How many soldiers does Ji Ling have in total?"

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. Liu Biao said just now that Zhang Yun's killing and taking captives was only a thousand people. In any case, it is impossible to produce more than 2 equipment, unless Zhang Yun is falsely reporting the number, but the whole is so No, it can only be that Zhang Yun's brain is broken.

Liu Biao raised his hand, signaled for everyone to be quiet, and continued, "I can't understand why this is so, but everyone present is a resourceful person, so it's expected that someone can explain the old man's doubts, right?"

The doubts on the faces of the people were even stronger. Although they faintly felt bad, they really didn't know what the situation was. Therefore, although some people began to guess in their hearts, they even almost concluded that Yuan Shu's batch of ordnance appeared in Nanyang. It's for Li Yi, but no one dares to be the first to speak about such a terrible topic.

Liu Biao walked a few more steps, but he walked up to Mao Jie, and asked, "What does Xiaoxian think about this?"

Mao Jie is more talented, and Liu Biao has always been very polite to him. In addition, Cao Cao intends to target Li Yi. Although the plan has mostly failed, Liu Biao is still willing to express his closeness to Mao Jie. Pulling Mao Jie together is to show Cao Cao the muscles of Jingzhou.

Mao Jie was already in a daze at this moment, he never expected that Liu Biao would ask him, especially though Liu Biao was smiling, but everyone could see the anger emanating from behind Liu Biao's smile

Mao Jie frowned, thinking quickly in his head, but the incident happened suddenly, and he knew too little information. In order to avoid making mistakes, he could only apologize: "Xu is dull, and I can't figure out the reason."

Liu Biao heheed, and said again: "It's okay, you can just guess."

If you really want to guess, Mao Jie thinks that this matter is probably related to Li Yi, but judging from Liu Biao's attitude, if it has something to do with Li Yi, I am afraid that he will immediately scold Li Yi for being a villain, so why bother to ask him ?

Could it be his own master?

Mao Jie felt uneasy, but felt that it was unreasonable, so he could only say: "Ju dare not speak nonsense."

"It's a good one who doesn't dare to speak nonsense, hehe, then you can see for yourself!"

Liu Biao snorted coldly, and threw the battle report in front of Mao Jie. Mao Jie picked it up, and immediately saw Cao Cao's name in it.

At this time, Liu Biao also said to the crowd again: "Zhang Yun interrogated the captives and learned that Cao Cao in Yanzhou had an ambiguous relationship with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu obtained the [-] weapons from Xiling and sent them to win over Cao Cao!"

Everyone was in an uproar again. Just now everyone had already acquiesced that it was Li Yi in their hearts, but they never thought that Cao Cao would be involved.
