Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It's just that Li Yimin has seen too many lives and deaths, and heard too many groans of wounded soldiers who couldn't sleep because of the pain at night. Although Li Yi has tried his best to deal with the aftermath, he still feels very uncomfortable, especially thinking about the situation in Jingzhou It was he who promoted it with one hand, and he felt extremely guilty.

If he had to continue fighting, Li Yi could suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind and force himself to "use troops like mud", but now that the overall situation has been settled, Li Yi really doesn't want to pay the lives of his soldiers for such a small city that has almost been acquired , It's really worthless.

Chapter 414 Family and People

Everyone was waiting for Li Yi to make a decision, but they saw a scout stepping forward and said to Li Yi: "General Qi, there are dozens of people outside the army, who claim to be from Liyang City. They heard that the lord is going to take back Liyang, so they are here outside." ask to see."

Recently, because the news of Li Yi's defeat against Yuan Shu has spread more and more widely, Li Yi's reputation has naturally skyrocketed, and he has become an existence like an Optimus Prime in the eyes of the people of Jingzhou.

Wherever Li Yi's soldiers and horses pass by, people often come to offer him delicious wine and food, and even their own daughters, wanting to express their gratitude to Li Yi in their hearts.

Li Yi has very strict requirements on military discipline, and he naturally set an example. Therefore, Li Yi rejected all the gifts for the common people. I will take the time to talk to the people, care about their lives, ask about their difficulties, so as to calm the people and at the same time win the hearts of the people.

Now there are people asking to see them, and they belong to Li Yang. Li Yi hasn't figured out how to deal with He Man and others, so he ordered Dian Wei and Guo Jia to let the scout lead the way and go to see the people first.

Soon, when Li Yi arrived outside the army formation, he saw a row of old men standing not far away waiting for him. After seeing Li Yi, everyone bowed down one after another. Then he asked: "Elders, why do you want to see Mr. Li?"

An old man at the head, regardless of the obstruction, bowed to Li Yi again: "Please also ask Marquis Xiang to be the master for us!"

"Please ask Xianghou to be the master for us!"

Following the old man's movements, other people also bowed down again. Li Yi frowned imperceptibly, helped the old man up, and said in a gentle voice: "I don't know what grievances you have, although Li is not Liu Shijun, but Since the imperial court regards Li as the general who conquers the south, he will control the war in Jingzhou, if someone bullies the people, he can still make decisions for everyone."

That's what Li Yi said, but he felt a little uneasy. Could it be that his soldiers violated military discipline?

Seeing Li Yi's sincere tone, these people stood up one after another, wiped the corners of the old man's eyes, pointed in the direction of Li Yang and said, "Xianghou, the brothers of the He family in that city are really not human!"

"Oh?"

Li Yi was startled, a little surprised, and immediately asked: "What's the matter, please tell me in detail."

The old man took a deep breath, as if remembering something extremely sad, tears fell down, and he choked up and told the story

This time Yuan Shu invaded Jingzhou, although he repeatedly destroyed the city, killed a lot of people, and collected food from the people of Jingzhou on the spot, but compared to Yuan Shu's act of scraping land when he left Nanyang, he has actually restrained himself a lot , at least not directly raising the butcher's knife to ordinary people.

Because Yuan Shu valued Jingzhou very much, and Yuan Shu wanted to make Jingzhou the rear area for him to fight for the world. Therefore, although Yuan Shu fought fiercely, he was worried that the people would be too hostile to him, so every time he captured a city, Yuan Shu would immediately send out Anmin issued a notice, and expressly forbade his soldiers and horses to plunder the people wantonly.

This is also why Yuan Shu laid down many cities in Jiangxia before, but there was no large-scale desertion.

However, this situation has changed in Li Yang.

Because the main force attacking Li Yang was the former troops of He Man and the others, and the casualties were quite heavy, He Man and the others had a lot of resentment in their hearts, but they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction with Yuan Shu, so they cast their anger on the people of Li Yang .

After being appointed by Yuan Shu to temporarily station in Liyang, He Man and the others used the excuse to eliminate Huang Zhong's remnant soldiers and began to select those big families in the city who had sent young men to support Huang Zhong to defend the city. , The method is very cruel.

Yuan Shu's military judge also knew that there were too many dead in this battle, and the whole army had resentment, and Yuan Shu's letting He Man and others stay here also vaguely meant to teach Li Yang a little lesson, so he turned a blind eye With one eye, he acquiesced to He Man's actions.

As a result, He Man and others took more and more actions afterwards, and the goal was no longer targeting those individual big households participating in the defense of the city, but began to do whatever they wanted, as if they had returned to the days when they were yellow scarf thieves. Whoever made the attack did not know how many properties were robbed, how many women were damaged, and how many lives were killed.

When the military judge realized that He Man had gone too far and wanted to dissuade him with military orders, the situation was already out of control. He wanted to ask Yuan Shu for orders, but he got the news of Yuan Shu's defeat.

As a result, the military judge was dumbfounded, and He Man and the others calmed down, and began to restrain the behavior of his subordinates. They probably knew that Li Yi might be more tolerant of them than Yuan Shu if they acted too recklessly.

The people who asked to see Li Yi here today were basically victims of He Man at home. They and He Man had become deadly enemies, so they wanted Li Yi to call the shots for them.

The old man at the head finished crying, and bowed to Li Yi: "I also ask Marquis Xiang to be the master for us, He Man and those beasts are simply not human, my poor daughter-in-law, even such a little grandson, they will not let go , is simply a beast!"

Others also paid homage again: "Please Lord Xiang be the master for us!"

Li Yi was sullen, panting heavily, he was a little angry, not only angry with He Man and others' actions, but also angry with himself, why didn't he know anything about the chaos in Liyang City?

The only thing that made Li Yi a little lucky was that He Man's conditions were too high, otherwise, if Li Yi agreed to their request to surrender, he would have to break his promise now.

Li Yi took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Although Li is not talented, he knows that an official should protect the environment and the people. All those who harm the people in this world are Li Yi's enemies!"

After Li Yi finished speaking, these people breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately wanted to thank Li Yi, but Guo Jia stepped forward and said, "My lord, no!"

Everyone looked at Guo Jia, Li Yi looked surprised, Dian Wei's eyes widened, those people were stunned at first, then thought of something, their faces changed, and when they looked at Guo Jia again, they even showed a little anger.

Li Yi blinked, wondering at first, but soon, a flash of understanding flashed in his heart, he shook his head secretly, and then asked, "Feng Xiao, why not?"

Guo Jia said solemnly: "My lord, Jia heard that He Man and others did evil, and she was very angry. She wished to kill them. However, now our army has fought Yuan Shu repeatedly, and the soldiers are already exhausted. In the city, He Man and others People wait for work with ease, if the lord attacks the city forcefully at this time, the damage will be heavy, so I hope the lord will think twice."

Dian Wei's eyes widened immediately. Although he knew that Guo Jia was not a particularly decent person, there were still big right and wrong. Moreover, it was impossible to accommodate He Man and others with his character. So, Guo Jia Why do you still have to say that, could it be that you drank too much and your head is broken?

Dian Wei was just puzzled, but the people panicked. He Man and them were enemies of life and death, and they were incompatible. The reason why they asked Li Yi was because they heard that He Man and the others might surrender to Li Yi Once this happens, they will have no hope of revenge in the future, unless they kill officials and rebel, but they don't have the guts at all.

I thought that with Li Yi's reputation, he would definitely decide for them when he heard the situation, and it was indeed the case, but who would have thought that Li Yi had already agreed, but a sick person jumped out and crossed a bar, what should I do?

An old man had a bad temper. Although he knew that Guo Jia was probably Li Yi's confidant and he was not easy to offend, he still couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you just let Marquis Xiang sit and watch He Manna?" Waiting for rebellious people to roam free in the world and continue to harm our people?"

Guo Jia glanced at Li Yi, then sized up the old man, shook his head and said, "No, no, if Heman joins my lord, with the lord's wisdom, he must restrain him and let him change his ways. do evil again, and"

After a pause, Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said, "He Man already knew that my lord was coming, and although he already intended to surrender, he must be ready to defend the city. If there are thousands of casualties, my lord was appointed by the imperial court as the General Who Conquers the South, and the responsibility is heavy. Now that Yuan Shu is still alive, but because of a moment of anger, he lost these many soldiers and horses in the small Liyang, which will be very disadvantageous in the future. Therefore, Jia Also, please don’t be impulsive, my lord, Jiayuan will enter the city with a three-inch tongue, let He Man and others leave the city and surrender.”

Guo Jia spoke quickly and with good reason. The old man couldn't find a breakthrough point, unless he suppressed Li Yi with righteousness, but he felt a little guilty and didn't dare to point the finger at Li Yi.

Helpless, the old man could only look at Li Yi, his eyes full of pleading, and the others were similar to him, but they were much more sincere than when they first begged.

A tangled look appeared on Li Yi's face, and after a long time, he sighed quietly and said: "What Feng Xiao said is a word of prudence.

Hearing this, the old man and the others turned pale immediately, secretly thinking that it was over.

However, in the next moment, I saw Li Yi's words changed sharply, and said: "However, since the day Li became an official, he has warned himself that even if there are thousands of dangers in the future, even if his body is broken, he must never let the people down, so "

Li Yi leaned over to help those old men who bowed to him again, and said word by word: "Since He Man and others have committed such evil deeds, Li Yi will never allow them to surrender, let alone let them Live, everyone, please wait and see!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yi turned around and got on his horse, took Dian Wei with him and left quickly.

Guo Jia was a step slower, and said bitterly to those people: "You only care about your own family feud, but you don't care about my lord's difficulties. Unfortunately, you are also a citizen of Jingzhou, but you are worthy of my lord's hard work!"

After all, he glared at these people angrily, and Guo Jia just got on his horse and chased after Li Yi, leaving everyone to look at me and I look at you, with complicated expressions.

After returning to the army formation, Dian Wei couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Master, why did you not directly agree to them?"

Li Yi smiled, looked at Guo Jia who had just caught up, Guo Jia understood, looked at Dian Wei and asked: "In the past few days, the people I have seen, the Lord, have not been a thousand, but there should be seven or eight hundred. At first, the people were only grateful to the lord for expelling Yuan Shu from Jingzhou, later, some people hoped that the lord would donate food, and some people hoped that the lord would settle down because their homes were destroyed."

"The lord has lofty aspirations and loves the people like a child, so naturally he agrees to them all one by one. Correspondingly, the people will also remember the lord's kindness."

Dian Wei nodded repeatedly and asked, "But why is it like this today?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Did you pay attention to the clothes of those common people?"

Dian Wei shook his head, he is a rough man, he would not usually pay attention to what clothes other people wear.
