Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

When Chen Sheng saw Zhang Liao, he took a step back subconsciously, then he reacted and said with a wry smile, "You should...you should be killed."

Zhang Liao laughed, and then patted Chen Sheng on the shoulder and said: "General Chen doesn't need to mind this matter, as long as you kill the person who should be killed, my lord will definitely support me. As for now, it's better for General Chen to take me into the city. how?"

"Ah, good, good!"

Chen Sheng was a little confused by the blow, and walked forward a few steps in a daze, only then did he realize that what Zhang Liao said just now that Li Yi would support him was actually a solicitation, making him fall to Li Yi.

In the past, it would be difficult for Chen Sheng to have other thoughts, not because he was so loyal to Liu Biao, but because Liu Biao was a state shepherd and also a clan member of the Han Dynasty. , but his identity is much worse than Liu Biao.

But seeing Zhang Liao attacking the city and killing people here today, he simply did whatever he wanted. Although Chen Sheng wanted to vomit blood depressedly as an opponent, why didn't he feel envious?

Look at those generals in Jingzhou, which one can have such arrogance and prestige?

Whether it's Huang Zhongwenpin from the powerful faction, or Zhang Yun and Liu Pan who are in the top position because of their connections, they are not as happy as Zhang Liao.

In the end, Chen Sheng thought even more that although Zhang Liao had killed Liu Biao's messenger, he had pushed him out. Just for this, Liu Biao would definitely write a note on his head.

With all kinds of thoughts and worries intertwined, Chen Sheng's mind gradually began to change, and then he didn't even notice it, and he was already a little more submissive to Zhang Liao than before.

Zhang Liao, who was walking behind, saw this, and felt a little bit of admiration in addition to being proud.

Although Zhang Liao's own idea was part of today's matchmaking, the general idea was guided by Guo Jia and Jia Xu.

Although Li Yi sent troops this time to beat Yuan Shu with a sap, this did not prevent him from making some arrangements halfway, such as cutting Liu Biao's face, improving Li Yi's prestige, increasing Yuan Shu's trust, etc. As long as it is beneficial, Zhang Liao can do it.

Therefore, Chen Sheng and the others are not wronged at all. After all, the opponents are Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Zhang Liao. When encountering this lineup, ninety-nine out of ten people in the world will have toothaches.

However, Zhang Liao was relatively calm. Although he felt that Chen Sheng seemed to be shaken, he still whispered a few words to Xu Sheng, and he had to be on guard against Chen Sheng's brain being trapped by the door and doing something impulsive.

After Zhang Liao led the army into the city, he directly lived in the barracks of the former Xinye garrison. He didn't care about the mundane business of burying pots and cooking, but first brought a team of personal guards to Chen Sheng's camp. Thinking that Zhang Liao was going to make trouble again, Zhang Liao just put down a few wild boars, saying that they were sent by the Marquis of Xiang, and asked them to make soup for the soldiers.

This made Chen Sheng heave a sigh of relief, but also felt a little emotional.

Although there are more people and less meat, but it can be somewhat meaty, isn't it?

This is what Jia Xu and the others explained to Zhang Liao. It is not advisable to show ignorance. It is appropriate to show some goodwill and maintain a relationship. Even if Chen Sheng can't say that he will bow to Li Yina, he can do it when Jingzhou is completely recovered in the future. Much less drag.

Afterwards, Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses went into short-term repairs, waiting for Li Yi's arrival, but 7000 people entered the city, such a big movement, the Xinye family naturally knew the news, and someone found Zhang Liao immediately, saying that when Li Yi arrived, everyone would act The landlord wanted to give Li Yi a welcome banquet.

Zhang Liao didn't respond to this, nor did he flatly refuse, but politely said that he would wait for Li Yi's arrival before making a decision.

Now Li Yi is no longer the Li Yi he was when he first arrived in Jingzhou. At the beginning, Li Yi tried to win over those aristocratic families, but now, it was the aristocratic families who took the initiative.

When Li Yi arrived in Xinye, it was almost dark, a little later than Zhang Liao expected. Because the Chinese army had more soldiers and horses, Li Yi ordered the army to station outside the city, leaving Zhuge Xuan, a mature and prudent man, in charge. Sui and other major generals entered the city quickly under the leadership of Zhang Liao.

At the city gate, there were many big families waiting for Li Yi. After Li Yi got off his horse and greeted everyone for a while, he declined the mansion given to him by the local family on the grounds that he did not dare to disturb the people. As for the banquet invitation from the Xinye family, Li Yi Yi also declined, saying that he would invite everyone back after the battle in Xiangyang was over.

Seeing Li Yi's resolute attitude, all the aristocratic families had no choice but to give up. However, although Li Yi rejected everyone's good intentions, his attitude was relatively gentle, so no one would resent him because of this trivial matter.

The aristocratic families didn't care too much, but Zhang Liao was a little confused. From Zhang Liao's point of view, Li Yi's way of life should not reject these aristocratic families, otherwise Zhang Liao would have done that villain for Li Yi before. They will not be entangled with Li Yi.

When the idlers left, Zhang Liao was about to ask Li Yi if there was any problem with Xinye World, when he saw that everyone was smiling, as if they were very happy.

Zhang Liao was surprised and asked, "Master, this is..."

Before Li Yi could speak, he saw a person walking out from the crowd, cupping his hands at Zhang Liao and saying, "General Zhang, long time no see."

Seeing someone greet him, Zhang Liao noticed that among the group of people behind Li Yi, there was this scribe dressed up in a strange face.

It's not too unfamiliar, and it looks a little familiar, but Zhang Liao can't remember it.

Zhang Liao couldn't recognize the person for a while, so he could only bow his hands and return the salute, and he didn't dare to call people indiscriminately, which made the face of the person who greeted him quite embarrassed.

Seeing this, Li Yi couldn't help laughing, and said, "Wen Yuan, brother Fu came to Nanyang this time as an envoy of the emperor, and he just met me in the army this morning."

Zhang Liao suddenly realized, and finally remembered, isn't this person Li Yi's brother-in-law.

Zhang Liao met Fu De in Chang'an, but at that time, Li Yi stood in front of Fu's family, let alone Zhang Liao. Neglect is inevitable, so the two sides have no direct contact at all, and the impression is even more superficial. It is normal for Zhang Liao not to recognize it for a long time.

Zhang Liao was embarrassed, and was about to apologize, but the next moment he raised his head suddenly, and said in surprise, "Messenger of the Son of Heaven, could it be..."

Chapter 400

Li Yi smiled and said nothing, although he really wanted to admit it with his hands on his hips, but he was so reserved, he was really embarrassed to do such a blunt boast,

However, there is never a shortage of flattering people in this world...

Guo Jia stepped forward, greeted everyone with a smile, "Come on, I'll meet General Zhengnan together!"

The rest of the people were startled for a moment, secretly thinking that Guo Jia would come, and then congratulated Li Yidao one after another.

"I met General Zhengnan!"

"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord!"

"With the name of General Zhengnan, my lord will surely accomplish this great event!"

……

Everyone immediately flattered Li Yi for a while, even though they were flattering, they were all sincere.

You know, it took Li Yiman less than two years to complete his calculations from the time he first showed his edge by beheading Hua Xiong to now being the top general in Zhengnan. This speed is simply astonishing.

Moreover, don't forget that Li Yi was originally a white body, unlike those children from aristocratic families who were helped to build bridges and pave the way for their official careers. His rise can be regarded as an inspirational model in the eyes of the world.

It is precisely because of Li Yi's momentum that those around him can gather tightly around him, even if they don't consider the friendship between the master and minister, just thinking about the glory that Li Yi may gain in the future is worth them. Put your life on the line.

Seeing that everyone's bragging was going to end, Li Yi smiled, pressed his hands empty, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then calmed down, and then said: "This is indeed a happy event, and Yi Chu was also happy at the beginning, but, Yi quickly remembered that now is not the time to be happy."

Hearing what Li Yi said, everyone knew that he was serious, and quickly calmed down. Seeing this, Li Yi continued: "I have ordered a ban on the arrival of the angel today, and now there are only you and my number in the army. Famous personal guards know, so do you know why this is so?"

Pang Ji looked at the people around him, and replied aloud, "Because it is not appropriate for Yuan Shu to know about this matter."

Li Yi nodded to Pang Ji, and said: "That's right. Although we are planning ahead and taking the initiative in everything, at first glance it seems that we have more than half the odds of winning. However, unlike Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, we have a lot of room for maneuver." At least, once an accident happens, all the previous efforts will be ruined, and my name as the general who conquered the South will only become a joke among the people of the world."

"So, before the dust settles, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't be careless, and don't underestimate the romantic figures in the world just because of a little pride."

"I will follow the Lord's instruction!"

Everyone responded in unison, obviously listening to Li Yi's words, especially the three of Zhang Liao, because they knew the news the latest, and under the sudden joy just now, they really felt a little drifting, but with Li Yi's words He was reminded like this, but he calmed down a lot. While ashamed, he secretly admired Li Yi's calmness. He was able to remain so calm even when the situation was good, which was really incomparable.

At this time, Pang Ji suddenly thought of something, and said again: "My lord, although the order is forbidden, the imperial decree came from Chang'an. It is very likely that there will be wind noise when walking."

Li Yi glanced at Pang Ji approvingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already expected this matter, so after I got the news, I wrote a letter in hand, and sent Yuan Shu to know about the appointment of the imperial court. What do you think when you see it?"

Pang Ji was taken aback for a while, obviously he didn't expect to have this kind of operation, but he immediately understood the key.

If Li Yi concealed it, it would be fine if Yuan Shu didn't receive the news. Once he found out, he would definitely be suspicious of Li Yi, and he would be on guard too early. Without revealing any rumors, to Yuan Shu, Li Yi's actions are undoubtedly a low-key gesture. Even if Yuan Shu's suspicions are definitely very subtle, and he will not do anything to Li Yi in a short time, after all Such an honest and obedient "little brother", it would be too chilling for the big brother to bully him.
