Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Liao felt that the matter should not be left alone, so he decided to write a letter to let Lu Bu understand that Li Yi is a reliable person, but Cao Cao is not, and that Lu Bu must be stopped in time, so that everyone will remain friends in the future.

Not to mention what Zhang Liao would say to Lu Bu in the letter, but after Zhang Liao left, Li Yi picked up Gao Shun's letter again, with a smile on his face, how could he be annoyed?

Seeing this, Xun You on the side was very surprised, and asked, "My lord, are you not angry?"

Li Yi chuckled, put down the letter, and asked, "Why am I angry?"

"This"

Xun You was suspicious in his heart. Although he was very smart and had many guesses in his mind, after all, he knew too little about Lu Bu and Cao Cao, so it was difficult to accurately grasp Li Yi's mind for a while.

Li Yi felt that he had suppressed Xun You a little in some respects, and when he was satisfied, he explained to him: "Lv Bu, although I have some friendship with him, it's a pity that there is Ding Yuan's old affairs. But there are interests, but they dare not get too close to them, especially if they occupy Jingzhou in the future, if Lu Bu brings people to join him, do you think I will accept it or reject it?"

"Accepting Lv Bu is like a tiger lying on your side. You must always be on guard against unexpected events. It is difficult to send troops abroad."

"If I don't accept it, people in the world will definitely laugh at me for being ungrateful and ungrateful. At the same time, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu have a very close relationship, so they will also be chilled. It can be described as a dilemma."

"I've been thinking about how to deal with Lu Bu in the future, but I didn't have a good plan. I didn't expect Lu Bu to help me."

"Lü Bu knew that Cao Cao intended to harm me, but he made friends with him. He was unrighteous first. In the future, even if Lu Bu was in trouble, I would stand by in Xiangyang. No one would blame me. I would be proud of Lu Bu. As long as I don't show it first Alright, if he asks for it, it will be difficult for him to put down his face and ask for it, so Lu Bu and Cao Cao's sworn brotherhood seems to be for my help, but in fact it is for my heart!"

Xun You nodded, somewhat understanding Li Yi's thoughts, secretly thinking that the lord's heart is dark enough, but his own curiosity was even heavier, and he asked again: "My lord seems to be sure that Lu Bu's future will definitely not go well?"

Li Yi's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he noticed that he seemed to have leaked a little when he was happy just now, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't matter, so he simply said to Xun You: "From Yi's point of view, people in this world can There are only two people who are called heroes, do you know who they are?"

Xun You smiled, he was very happy to chat with Li Yi about this topic, and said immediately: "Yuan Shao in Jizhou is naturally one of them, and besides, it should be Cao Cao in Yanzhou."

Li Yi shook his head and smiled: "From your tone, it seems that Yuan Shao is placed before Cao Cao, but I have a different opinion. I think Cao Cao is better than Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao, it's a pity, can only be regarded as a half-hero."

Xun You was a little puzzled. In today's world, when it comes to heroes, Yuan Shao is definitely the number one, but Li Yi actually said that he is only half, and not as good as Cao Cao. Xun You really can't understand this.

However, what made Xun You even more puzzled was that since Yuan Shao was not the hero in Li Yi's mouth, could there be someone else?

Facing Xun You's curious gaze, Li Yi shook his head and said, "The other hero is my life-and-death enemy. As for his name, hehe, Fengxiao and the others don't know, so I won't tell you today, let's just say Talk about Cao Cao."

Xun You was helpless, but Li Yi didn't say anything, and he couldn't ask further questions, but a series of names flashed through his mind, but none of them were qualified to be Li Yi's life and death enemy.

Li Yi turned around, pointed at the map on the screen, and said, "Since Cao Cao has become sworn brothers with Lv Bu, to avenge his parents, we must send troops to Xuzhou within this year. With Xuzhou soldiers and old Tao Qian, it is absolutely difficult to resist Cao Cao. But the huge Xuzhou is not something that Cao Cao can eat in one bite, so it is impossible to say that this battle will take as much as two or three years."

"Cao Cao's troops are away, and there is nothing behind him. Lu Bu, in the name of sworn brotherhood, should not be able to copy Cao Cao's hometown in a short period of time, but after a long time, Lu Bu is trapped in a corner of Dongjun, unwilling to be lonely. Will he be right at that time? It might be impossible for Cao Cao to attack behind the scenes."

Xun You was surprised and said, "Mr. Xiang is so sure that Lu Bu will definitely attack Cao Cao?"

Li Yi pretended to be modest and said, "I'm [-]% sure."

Xun You smacked his lips and said, "If that's the case, isn't something wrong with Cao Cao?"

However, Li Yi shook his head and said: "Lv Bu is the champion of the three armies, and there are many generals around him, and there are many elite soldiers under his command. It's a pity that although Lu Bu is good at fighting, he has no resourceful people to help him, and he is not good at governing the country. I heard that after Lu Bu arrived in Dongjun, he only cared about recruiting soldiers, buying money and food, so that both the people and the families in Dongjun were miserable, but because of Lu Bu's reputation, he didn't dare to resist."

"So, if Lu Bu takes advantage of Cao Cao's emptiness and attacks Yanzhou in the future, even if he can gain a temporary advantage, but the people don't like Lu Bu, the family doesn't like Lu Bu, how long can Lu Bu occupy Yanzhou?"

Speaking of this, Li Yi paused, and said with some envy: "However, Cao Cao is different. There are many resourceful people around Cao Cao. Mi Heng, who died in Wancheng, was imprisoned by me as Mao Jie, and then Cheng Yu , Xi Zhong, these are all great talents, by the way, and Xun Yu, who is praised as the talent of Wang Zuozhi in the husband's family, is also assisting Cao Cao now. Alas, with these people around, it is easy for Cao Cao to control the hearts of Yanzhou , Lu Bu turned against him, and if I hadn't supported him, he would have been defeated!" 11

Chapter 427 Who is Jingzhou Shepherd?

Changan.

After bending down, he walked slowly into the court hall. From time to time, people bowed their hands to him, and some bluntly congratulated him. Even Li Jue and Guo Si, who used to only look at the sky, took the initiative to send him a smiling face.

Fu Wan knew that this was all due to Li Yi's credit.

Last night, Li Yi's official battle report was sent to Chang'an. People in Chang'an learned that Yuan Shu's 30 army was defeated by Li Yi. , everyone is happy at this moment, after all, Li Yi's defeat of Yuan Shu is to extend the life of the big man.

Because Li Yi is Fu Wan's son-in-law, and Fu Wan once recommended Li Yi as the general who conquered the South. It is reasonable for people to pay more attention to Li Yi's father-in-law.

It's just that it's not easy to finish his heart. In addition to learning about Li Yi's battle report, he also got a piece of news from Fu De.

Liu Biao is dead.

Although Li Yi did not order the killing, it is no different from the one who was forced to death by Li Yi, and Li Yi deliberately concealed this in the news sent to Chang'an.

Fu Wan was very shocked. Although he knew that this cheap son-in-law had a lot of ambitions, he didn't expect him to be so impatient.

The two most powerful figures in the south of Dahan fell into Li Yi's hands one after another within a few days, fulfilling his reputation.

With all these performances, if Li Yi is said to be a loyal person to the big man, he would not believe it after he was beaten to death.

Fu Wan was a little scared, and his heart was hesitant, full of confusion about himself and the future of the big man.

Soon, the little emperor arrived, and the court meeting began.

Today's little emperor is very happy, with the rare lively joy that young people should have on his face, happily talking about Li Yi's affairs with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as if with Li Yi, the big man is hopeful .

Fu Wan just stood aside honestly in front of the audience and rarely spoke. Even if someone mentioned him and said that he was meritorious for his recommendation, Fu Wan only expressed his humility, and then said that Li Jue had more credit, because Li Jue was the first Recommending Li Yi, he is just picking up people's teeth.

Li Jue was very happy when he saw this. He hadn't done anything serious since he took over the inner city. This time Li Yi played well, which can be regarded as saving face for him.

After talking for a while, everyone naturally talked about rewards.

The courtiers only discussed briefly, and based on Li Yi's battle report, roughly set the rewards for Li Yi's subordinates in this battle.

For example, Zhang Liao, because he took the lead in breaking through Yuan Shu's camp, then beheaded Zhang Xun, captured Ji Ling alive, and beheaded several other generals, he made great contributions.

The second is Wenpin. Although Wenpin didn't kill the generals to capture the flag, he commanded and dispatched well, making the army advance layer by layer, so that Yuan Shu had to retreat all the way in embarrassment.

Other civil and military officials accompanying the army, such as Xu Sheng, Liu Pi, Guo Jia, Zhuge Xuan, etc., also received awards.

It is worth mentioning Dian Wei. Li Yi gave Dian Wei the title of General Huwei in the battle report. Although judging from the merits, it was a little bit worse, but the court didn't care too much about it. It was just a miscellaneous name anyway. General, the imperial court is not responsible for the salary, so it is very generous.

Regarding the rewards of Li Yi's subordinates, the imperial court gave them generously. Even those who disliked Li Yi didn't stand up and say anything, because everyone knew that these people were small shrimps. The real key was only Li Yi. Yi himself.

After setting the rewards for Li Yi's subordinates, the little emperor looked around and asked, "Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao has written a letter to resign, saying that he is ashamed, and then recommended Li Yi as Jingzhou Shepherd. Mu, I don't know what you think of my lovers?"

After all, the little emperor subconsciously looked at Li Jue.

Li Jue thought for a while, but he didn't make a sound. He can occupy Chang'an safely and control the emperor, but he is not besieged like Dong Zhuo. There is one place to join forces, but there is another point that although Li Jue is cruel to Chang'an officials, he will not easily reach out, which makes people jealous for no reason.

Before Li Jue helped Li Yi, it was because he and the Yuan family were already deadly enemies, so naturally he had no worries.

The little emperor would have no one to speak, and he was about to make a final decision, but at this moment a voice came from the crowd: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks something is wrong!"

As soon as the little emperor heard the voice, he knew something was wrong, and then helplessly watched Wang Yunshi come out of the line, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called state shepherd is to guard one side for the emperor, and the responsibility is no matter how important it is. No one can take on this important task, and Li Yi, although he has outstanding military exploits and faintly has the style of the champion of the year, but he is only two decades old. After the war, there is an urgent need for virtuous people to govern, so please think twice, Your Majesty."

The little emperor looked embarrassed. Now that he has grown up a bit, he is not as innocent as before. He knows that Wang Yun and Li Yi have conflicts. Wang Yun may say this because he does not want Li Yi to become bigger.

But Wang Yun is also very loyal to the little emperor on weekdays, and he often speaks out to defend him. The little emperor couldn't bear to refute Wang Yun's face directly. The big victory over Yuan Shu this time is a contribution to helping the community. Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou, also personally recommended it in a letter. It can be seen that Li Yi is the shepherd of Jingzhou. ?”

The little emperor's words are very true. Li Yi has made such a great contribution. With the current situation of the big man, let alone the little emperor has a good impression of Li Yi. If Yuan Shu jumped out to make trouble, who would be willing to serve the big man?
