Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

However, Wei Yan had just traveled a few miles, so he ordered his troops to turn around and turn from the small road to the south express. By the time they camped at night, they were already more than 30 miles south of Linxiang City.

Wei Yan ordered his troops to go north first and then south, and the soldiers were naturally very puzzled, so several school lieutenants went to Wei Yan's tent together to ask Wei Yan what was going on.

Wei Yan looked at the people in front of him, smiled slightly, and asked: "You think, can I stop Xianghou's army going south with you?"

The school lieutenants didn't know how to answer, Wei Yan said again: "Xianghou is a hero of the imperial court, his reputation of loyalty is well known in the world, don't say that you and I can't resist Xianghou's soldiers, even if we can resist, but you and I blocked Xianghou today , is against the imperial court heavenly soldiers, tomorrow will be a rebellious person, not only will there be no future in this life, but will also make the ancestors shame because of me!"

These school lieutenants can be called out by Wei Yan to act together, and their relationship is not bad on weekdays, and they can often hear Wei Yan's words of admiration for Li Yi, and now seeing that Wei Yan's words are on Li Yi's side, someone immediately Asked: "I don't know what General Wei means, please tell him clearly!"

Wei Yan smiled and nodded, then his face straightened suddenly, he took out something from his bosom with his right hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "This is the secret order of Marquis Li Xiang, and Marquis Xiang ordered me to leave The elite of Changsha, first assist the Marquis of Xiang to take Linxiang, and then go to Guiyang to take the head of the prefect of Guiyang for the Marquis of Xiang. , I don’t know if all the brothers are willing to shoulder the heavy responsibility with me!”

After all, the smile on Wei Yan's face returned, but his left hand was already quietly pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the personal guards outside the tent also quietly surrounded the big tent. At this moment, no one dared to show his face. Not dissatisfied at all, Wei Yan was about to kill him immediately.

Several school captains looked at each other, some couldn't believe it, it's fine if they don't fight Li Yi, and it's okay to surrender directly, but now they want to go south to take Guiyang, which is really beyond imagination.

Seeing that several people were silent, Wei Yan asked, "Do you have any objections?"

A school lieutenant shook his head again and again and said: "No, since the general has obtained the military order of the Marquis of Xiang, it can be seen that the general is a person who is highly valued by the Marquis of Xiang. It is also a blessing for us to follow the general and return to the Marquis of Xiang. How can we take Guiyang?"

Several other school captains nodded one after another. They didn't have much resistance to Li Yi. After all, legally speaking, they should have obeyed Li Yi's restraint. Now that there is Wei Yan, a "relationship household", there is really no point in surrendering to Li Yi. pressure, but they were suddenly asked to fight Guiyang, and they really had no idea.

Wei Yan checked his words and saw that a few people didn't seem to have any resistance to Li Yi. He laughed and said: "Xianghou has given me a clever plan. You just need to listen to my orders and take Guiyang. It's as easy as turning the palm of your hand. That's all. come on"

As he said that, Wei Yan whispered to the crowd, and everyone's eyes brightened, and they all praised: "Mr. Xiang's ingenious plan, I will admire it!"

Wei Yan coughed lightly, with a smug look on his face, but also a little bit of uneasiness, but he concealed it better, and several captains didn't see it.

"Okay, let's step back for the time being. This matter must be kept secret. If there is any leak, don't blame Wei for being ruthless. Okay, let's rest early, and we have to hurry tomorrow."

After letting a few people retreat, Wei Yan himself sat on the couch with his legs spread out, his posture was very indecent, but Wei Yan didn't care about that, his brows were furrowed, his face was full of melancholy, how could he still be as vigorous as before?

"Ugh!"

After a while, Wei Yan sighed, picked up the military order Li Yi gave him, but after reaching out to open it, he saw that it was blank, but there was not even half a word.

The county magistrate's office in Yiyang City is now Li Yi's place of residence. After Yiyang City's county magistrate Kaitou City surrendered, Li Yi did not continue to go south, but temporarily stationed in Yiyang, and at the same time asked people to persuade Han Xuan to surrender again, because Although Li Yi was able to take down Linxiang, there were still many soldiers and horses in Linxiang City, and a strong attack would kill many people.

Li Yi's thoughts were the same as before. Although it was a war, if people could not die, it was better not to die.

It was just unexpected that Li Yi received a special letter before the envoy who persuaded him to surrender came back.

Li Yi read Wei Yan's handwritten letter twice, then handed it to Guo Jia and the others with a smile, and said, "Everyone, take a look too, what's Wei Yan's ingenious plan?"

Although Wei Yan hadn't done anything particularly commendable, because of Li Yi's personal attention to him, even Kuai Yue knew about Wei Yan, so when they learned that Li Yi had received Wei Yan's letter, everyone was quite surprised. Curious, they rushed to the front one after another, wanting to see if Wei Yan was going to surrender or not

Soon, after several people watched it, Guo Jia immediately smiled and cupped his hands at Li Yi and said: "Congratulations, my lord, you can get Changsha Guiyang without bloodshed, and there will be another good general under your command, which is really gratifying!"

Xu Huang and Huang Zhong's faces were not very good-looking. One of them is a veteran of Li Yi's subordinates, and the other is a newcomer who has received Li Yi's favor. They both really want to show themselves and make some contributions in this war of conquest , but after the troops were sent out, they didn't even have the chance to draw their swords out of their sheaths. Finally, Linxiang was their chance to play, but in the end, Wei Yan was given the first step, which was really annoying.

But there is something that makes people even more angry, that is, Wei Yan is really greedy. He calculated Changsha and ran to Guiyang, Jingnan four counties, and he will sacrifice two counties to Li Yi alone. , In contrast, the two of them, a vanguard and a general of the Chinese army, really have no sense of existence at all.

However, the two of them were depressed, but they had to admit that Wei Yan's strategy was very effective, saving trouble and effort, and Li Yiping also said that the lives of soldiers were not allowed to be wasted, so Xu Huang and Huang Zhong looked at each other unwillingly, but In the end, he said: "Wei Yan's strategy is very good, I am ashamed of myself."

Li Yi laughed and said: "My two generals, in today's troubled times, there are many opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and there will be even more opportunities to fight against heroes in the world in the future. Why bother to fight for the remote place of Changsha Guiyang today?" Sigh?"

When the two of them heard the words, they immediately felt relieved, but at the same time they felt ashamed, and hurriedly said: "My lord taught me a lesson!"

Chapter 443 Wei Yan Takes Guiyang

Li Yi smiled at the two of them, then looked behind them and asked, "What does General Liu think?"

Liu Pan got up immediately and said: "This plan is very good, and it will be far from it in the end."

After Li Yi's army arrived in Changsha, they naturally joined Liu Pan. At first, Li Yi was a little wary, worried that Liu Pan would cause trouble for him, so he secretly prepared a lot of back-ups, but unexpectedly, Liu Pan was upright enough Yes, when he learned of Li Yi's arrival, he came to see Li Yi alone and asked Li Yi to let him go home.

Li Yi had a good sense of Liu Pan before, not to mention anything else, it is commendable that Liu Pan has always stuck to Jingnan and put the overall situation of Jingzhou first.

When Liu Biao was there, Liu Pan followed Liu Biao's military order without any discount. Later, when Li Yi was replaced, Liu Pan also followed the order honestly without any problems.

After Huang Zhong returned, Li Yi asked Huang Zhong for inquiries. Huang Zhong praised Liu Pan all the time, saying that Liu Pan was very good at martial arts, and he was loyal and reliable. It would be a pity if he missed this person.

Therefore, before the meeting, Li Yi had a good impression of Liu Pan. After seeing it with his own eyes, he felt that Liu Pan was like a general version of Liu Qi. Leaving, he left Liu Pan in the army, and Liu Pan was relatively honest, or dead-headed, unable to do anything without saying goodbye, so he had to be left by Li Yi.

Of course, regarding Liu Biao's matter, Li Yi also explained again, saying that he didn't want to kill Liu Biao, Liu Biao wanted to die because he couldn't think about it, and Li Yi also promised that he would definitely treat Liu Biao's descendants well in the future.

Although Liu Pan was a little embarrassed, he generally believed Li Yi's words, because Liu Biao also wrote to him at the beginning, and Liu Pan was Liu Biao's follower, so in terms of relationship, he was farther than the average nephew. , and Liu Biao are not too close, the hatred for Li Yi is not too big, and Li Yi obviously wins him over, Liu Pan also recognizes it.

After leaving Liu Pan, Li Yi was very happy, because in addition to getting this general himself, Li Yi could also tell the world through Liu Pan that he did not force Liu Biao to death, and by the way, let everyone feel his broad-mindedness.

"General Liu is humbled."

Li Yi smiled and said: "But this Wei Yan is really good, brave and resourceful, this time I really have to give him credit."

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Kuai Yue stepped forward and said seriously: "My lord, this statement is inappropriate, please forgive my subordinates for disagreeing!"

Li Yi saw that Kuai Yue was frowning, and his face was vaguely unkind, he was very curious, and asked, "I don't know what you think, sir?"

Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said: "In the past, General Dian Wei set up a ring in Xiangyang. Wei Yan was obviously defeated, but the lord is magnanimous and loves his bravery, so he said he was a tie with General Dian, and then gave him a good BMW horse, which shows how much the lord loves him! "

"At that time, the more I heard family members talk about this matter, I was also moved. I also told people around me that the lord will win another good general, but"

Kuai Yue laughed, but there was a bit of disdain in the laughter, and said: "However, the result was too surprising. Then Wei Yan abandoned the lord and left. Although Wei Yan is free, there is nothing wrong with this, but he knows the lord. It was because he loved his talent that he gave him a BMW. Since he wanted to leave, he shouldn’t accept the gift from the lord. He just left like this. He left again, and still left without saying goodbye, which shows that this person values ​​profits over righteousness, and is definitely not someone who can be trusted or entrusted with important responsibilities!"

After hearing Kuai Yue's words, only Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged. Obviously, Guo Jia also understood this point, but people like Xu Huang, Huang Zhong and others couldn't help frowning, and there was a bit of displeasure in their eyes .

Li Yi glanced around and felt that Wei Yan's life would be difficult in the future. This person has not been reported yet, and his favorability is about to be at the bottom.

However, Li Yi also knew that Wei Yan could only be blamed for this matter. After all, he chose the path himself, and if Li Yi hadn't admired Wei Yan's general talent, coupled with his sympathy for Wei Yan's ending in the original history, it is hard to say that Li Yi would have felt the same way. I have a grudge against him.

Seeing that Li Yi didn't express his opinion, Kuai Yue continued: "After Wei Yan arrived in Changsha, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, was kind to him, promoted him, and entrusted him with important tasks. However, when Wei Yan saw the lord's army going south, he was either afraid or For the sake of fame and fortune, he designed to deceive Han Xuan's army and sent Changsha to the Lord, although this move is beneficial to the Lord, but what did Wei Yan do to Han Xuan?"

Kuai Yue shook his head and said: "My lord, Wei Yan took the second counties of Changsha and Guiyang lightly with a clever plan. His subordinates also admire his calculations. However, this person's morals are really inferior. It is true that he can make meritorious deeds by following the lord in the future. With him in power, seeing Wei Yan's actions today, I'm afraid there will be a backlash."

Having said that, Kuai Yue sighed, bowed and said, "I'm going to say something from the bottom of my heart, I hope my lord will think twice!"

Li Yi looked at Kuai Yue and was very touched.

He was moved not because of Wei Yan, but because of Kuai Yue's attitude.

Li Yi asked softly: "Then, in your opinion, how should we deal with Wei Yan's matter?"

All the people present looked at Kuai Yue, but Kuai Yue acted as if he didn't know it, and said to himself: "Great reward, use it, and after he makes another meritorious service, kill him with military discipline!"

Everyone felt a chill all over their bodies, subconsciously wanted to back away, and wanted to get farther away from Kuai, especially the warriors like Xu Huang, who looked at Kuai Yue with fear, even repulsion.

Although they didn't like what Wei Yan did, Kuai Yue's suggestion was too much.

Li Yi smiled wryly, stepped forward and took Kuai Yue's hand and said, "Sir, what you said is really sincerely for the public, alas."
