Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

In the battle report that Li Yi showed Liu Biao, the description related to Wang Wei and others was like this.

Because Yuan Shu's soldiers were fierce and attacked the city fiercely, seeing that the city was not safe, the people in the city changed their minds. Therefore, a group of generals headed by Wang Wei, Wang Yi and his son, in order to save their lives, and for the sake of prosperity and wealth, they secretly negotiated with Yuan Shu's envoy. At the meeting, an agreement was reached that Wang Wei and his son would take the lead in the riot, set fire to the city, behead the loyal people, and wait for an opportunity to capture Liu Biao. At the same time, Yuan Shu attacked the city from the outside.

After the event was completed, Yuan Shu made Wang Wei a marquis and granted him the post of prefect of Yuzhang.

Fortunately, Kuai Liang, the military adviser of Jingzhou and the prefect of Nanjun, noticed the change in the city, so the two decisively united with the available people in the city. After Wang Wei and his son rebelled, they quickly led people to suppress it, caught Wang Wei by surprise, captured them all, and succeeded. Yuan Shu's plot was shattered, so no catastrophe was caused.

The only bad consequence caused by this incident was that Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, was too frightened that night and couldn't manage the board.

It was precisely when Liu Biao saw such inversions of black and white and random framing of the content that he became so angry that he yelled at Li Yi directly.

Liu Biao felt that Li Yi had gone too far. He could kill people without nodding his head, just like him now. Although he felt resentful and unwilling, he knew that he had indeed lost to Li Yi completely. Li Yi wanted to kill him. Him, he didn't even frown.

Liu Biao can accept death, but he can't stand Li Yi's behavior of killing someone and tarnishing his reputation behind him. This kind of behavior is really too despicable!

After waiting for a while, Li Yi felt that Liu Biao's breathing was almost stable, and then he said: "Exactly, as long as Liu Shijun plays the emperor and recommends Yi as Jingzhou Shepherd, then no one will see the news just now. .”

"You are dreaming!"

Liu Biao scolded: "You want this old man to fulfill your wish, it is absolutely impossible!"

Li Yi frowned. He didn't expect Liu Biao's attitude to be so firm, so he could only continue to persuade: "Mr. Liu, don't rush to make a decision. You might as well think about it first. If this report of Yi's battle is sent to Chang'an, it will be seen by the emperor. What will happen next."

After all, Li Yi reminded Liu Biao in a very considerate way: "On that day, there were 16 generals and schools in the city who were killed, all of whom were loyal to the envoy. Add up, there are more than three hundred people."

Hearing this, Liu Biao felt his heart ache as if someone had pinched it.

Li Yi ignored the pain on Liu Biao's face and continued: "Li Yi knows that they have been wronged, so Yi feels very ashamed. If it is not necessary in the future, he will not embarrass their family members. Subsidize them with money and food, so that they can live without worry in the future. However, if this battle report is sent to the court, if the emperor issues an edict to order the local officials to severely punish the family members of the traitor, it is not easy to interfere anymore. Photo, I'm afraid it's also powerless."

Liu Biao's face was extremely pale at the moment, because he knew that Li Yi was right.

According to the content in Li Yi's battle report, Wang Wei and the others can be regarded as rebels. What will happen to the family members of the rebels?

Although Liu Biao is an official, he may be slick in the officialdom, but in his heart, he is a good man, a gentleman, and a gentleman must be upright, and now if it is because of him, those who are loyal to him will not be able to survive even their families after death

Such a result, for Liu Biao, it would be better to kill him directly.

Moreover, Liu Biao also knew that even if the imperial court noticed that there was something wrong with it when the memorial was sent up, they would just treat it as if they hadn't seen it, let alone give Wang Wei and the others a clean slate.

Because what the imperial court needs is the stability of Jingzhou, Li Yi has achieved it, and the imperial court is satisfied.

Liu Biao was shaken, he really didn't want those people to be stigmatized in the future, but he hated Li Yi deeply, and now being persecuted by Li Yi, it was just like Li Yi's wish

He is unwilling!

Li Yi waited for a while, seeing that Liu was struggling on the surface and refused to agree for a long time, so he decided to add fuel to the fire, and said, "I heard that the eldest son has gone to Liu Pan's army?"

Liu Biao's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "What are you going to do!"

Li Yi smiled slightly, and said: "Li Yi acts unscrupulously, Liu Shijun is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and he looks down on Yi very much, but, I want to ask Liu Shijun, in terms of means alone, can the eldest son be my opponent? "

Liu Biao had a dark face and clenched his fists. Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't help but nodded.

Liu Biao knew that his son was more of a gentleman than him, and if he paid attention to the way of a gentleman, he would definitely have a bright future in times of peace and prosperity, but in this situation, it was a shameless villain like Li Yi who enjoyed it.

At the beginning Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to leave Xiangyang with those family members in order to leave a way for his family. In Liu Biao's view, after Yuan Shu broke through Xiangyang, he mostly used gentle means to Jingnan to keep them from causing trouble. The real point should be Yuzhou or Xuzhou direction.

That's why Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to go there, planning to hide for a year or two. After he came, the imperial court would be able to calm down and clean up Yuan Shu, and then let Liu Qi stand up and inherit his reputation.

But people are not as good as heaven, Li Yi has made a mess here, based on Liu Biao's understanding of Li Yi, Li Yi will never leave Jingnan alone, and once Li Yi sends troops to Jingnan, how will Liu Qi deal with it? ?

Can Liu Qi stand up to Li Yi?

Liu Biao is really not optimistic about his son at all.

Seeing that Liu Biao had wavered and only had to make a final decision, Li Yi said again: "If Mr. Liu agrees, Li Yi can make a promise that he will never kill the eldest son in the future."

"Hahaha"

Liu Biao suddenly laughed, but the laughter sounded very sad.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Liu Biao asked: "I want to know, if I don't agree today, what are you going to do?"

After finishing speaking, Liu Biao added another sentence: "The old man must listen to the truth!"

"True"

Li Yi paused, but said: "Actually, Yi hasn't thought about it yet, but in general, it's almost a way to ruin someone's reputation. Of course, Mr. Liu has no enmity with me. I'm sorry for Mr. Liu, so if not If necessary, the eldest son should not be killed."

Liu Biao couldn't help laughing, the laughter was full of sarcasm, he was not Li Yi, his reputation was more important to him than his life, and Li Yi didn't kill people even though it wasn't necessary, wouldn't the implication be that Say, if necessary, kill as soon as you say it?

Liu Biao just sat there blankly, closed his eyes for a while, got up slowly, and said calmly, "I'm going back to the back hall to change my clothes."

Li Yi felt that there was a door, and immediately responded: "Let me do what you want."

Liu Biao ignored him and went straight to the back.

Li Yi watched Liu Biao turn to the back door, heaved a long sigh, and asked, "Come on, tell me, is it too much for me to treat Liu Shijun like this?"

Li Yi originally thought that this question would be difficult for Dian Wei, but Dian Wei didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "My lord is naturally right!"

Li Yi was still a little emotional at first, but when he heard the words, he felt like he was about to lose his temper, and said in a bad mood: "Apart from this, talk about something else."

Dian Wei scratched his head, and said again: "Although Mr. Liu did not make any serious mistakes, but he is not good enough, he cannot keep Jingzhou, the people of Jingzhou, no matter whether it is an official, following him will all suffer, but my lord is different. The lord is wise and mighty, although he was plotted against, the people are much more secure following the lord than Liu Shijun. When they entered the city today, those civil servants were too good at talking. , when they looked at me, they were all eager and envious, they wanted to serve the lord, and Feng Xiao said at the time, this is what the lord expects!"

Dian Wei didn't pay attention when he spoke, his voice was a bit loud, not only Cai Mao and Xun You who were waiting outside heard it, but even Liu Biao who was changing clothes in the back hall heard it.

Forget about Cai Mao, but Liu Biao felt extremely sour when he heard it. What Liu Jingsheng, what Ba Jun, is not as good as others, but now he is not even as prestigious as others. Live in vain.

When Liu Biao came out, it was almost time for a meal. Li Yi looked at Liu Biao, and his eyes lit up. He saw that Liu Biao not only changed his clothes, but also trimmed his beard. Although he was not as good as before, he also recovered a bit Liu Jingzhou should have the demeanor.

Liu Biao didn't seem to see Li Yi, so he went straight to the desk and began to add water and grind the ink. Li Yi wanted to help, but Liu Biao pushed him away, so Li Yi waited quietly by the side without forcing.

Soon after the ink was finished, Liu Biao took out a piece of silk cloth and started to write on it.

Li Yi looked sideways, and saw that Liu Biao first pleaded guilty to the emperor, saying that although he had done his best after taking office, the affairs in Xiangyang were not satisfactory and he owed the emperor's kindness, and then he talked about Yuan Shu's affairs.

The content written by Liu Biao is very sincere, explaining that the previous situation in Jingzhou was caused by Yuan Shu's sudden invasion of troops and his improper employment. After Liu Biao admitted his mistake, he affirmed Huang Zu and Huang Zhong, saying that although they could not survive The city is not a crime of war, and both of them fought to the last moment, their spirits are commendable.

In the end, Liu Biao wrote at the end that he had no virtue or talent, and he barely served as the governor of the state. , I hereby submit my resignation from the post of Jingzhou Shepherd and the position of General Nanzheng. However, Jingzhou has just experienced a war, and the people need to settle down. The imperial court agreed.

Li Yi kept staring at Liu Biao's pen. He was worried that Liu Biao would do something in it, but he found that Liu Biao didn't do anything else until the signature was signed. He felt relieved, and when he looked up, he saw tears on Liu Biao's face.

Li Yi's heart was a little complicated, and the hand that was about to be extended was a little embarrassed to continue.

Liu Biao ignored Li Yi, wiped his eyes, took another piece of silk cloth, and started writing again.

Li Yi was curious, and looked again, only to find that this letter was written by Liu Biao to Liu Qi, and Liu Pan.
