Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi didn't expect Kuai Yue to be so smart, and he directly said something that was the same as "cooking a rabbit and a running dog".

Not to mention that Wei Yan will be under Li Yi's command in the future. If he hears these words, he will become an enemy with Kuai Yue, even Xu Huang and the others will respect Kuai Yue and stay away. guy?

But Li Yi knew that the reason why Kuai Yue said this in public was because he was determined to be his lonely minister, a minister of admonishment!

Li Yi was very emotional. He felt that if he was not old and confused in the future, he would never have the possibility of finding Kuai Yue to settle old scores. On the contrary, Li Yi had to spend all his time covering him so that this guy would not offend too many people. One day, someone teamed up to kill him.

Li Yi rubbed his forehead, and his thoughts returned to Wei Yan himself.

History is always surprisingly similar, Li Yi is not Liu Bei, Kuai Yue is not Zhuge Liang, but how similar is the current situation to Zhuge Liang's plan to kill Wei Yan?

Li Yi was very happy about Wei Yan's letter before. After all, he won Changsha Guiyang directly without any effort, which is really majestic and comfortable.

But Kuai Yue's words really moved Li Yi, and he couldn't help but wonder, if the original Wei Yan hadn't had Zhuge Liang's beating, would Wei Yan be so obedient after Liu Bei's death?

There is a rebellious bone in the back of the head, but it may not be rebellious.

But he is bold and unruly, he does things as he pleases, and he is greedy for merit rather than righteousness. No matter whether he wants to rebel in his heart or not, in the eyes of onlookers, he is the most likely type of person to rebel.

So, after Zhuge Liang passed away, the big guys felt that no one could hold Wei Yan down anymore, so they got rid of him right away.

Wei Yan may be really wronged, but he himself does have to bear some responsibility.

Let’s just talk about Wei Yan’s calculations this time. At first glance, Wei Yan is loyal to Li Yi and is helping Li Yi, but why didn’t he sacrifice Han Xuan, who was kind to him, and the entire Changsha colleagues to help him? Paving the way for his own future?

Wei Yan can sell Han Xuan today, why can't Wei Yan sell Li Yi in the future?

Moreover, Wei Yan is courageous enough. Without Li Yi's consent, he even lied about getting Li Yi's military order and proclaimed himself a vanguard. This is a taboo thing, and he is the most trusted under Li Yi's command. Dian Wei didn't dare to do that either.

Wei Yan also made a mistake now, because he is not yet Li Yi's subordinate, otherwise his head will definitely move.

Li Yi has a bit of a headache. It's not a big deal yet, Wei Yan has danced so hard. If he is reused in the future, what else will he not dare to do?

Don't think that Li Yi usually delegates power very well, but it is based on the premise that he has absolute authority. If someone really doesn't take his majesty seriously, Li Yi will definitely kill someone.

Sighing, Li Yi said slowly: "Sir, what he said is reasonable. Wei Yan is young and energetic, and he is dedicated to making contributions. It is inevitable that there will be inappropriate actions. If he is allowed to develop like this, it may indeed become a disaster in the future."

Everyone listened attentively to Li Yi's words, for fear of missing a word, because although Li Yi's words were aimed at Wei Yan, they were more or less related to them, especially the generals.

Li Yi said: "However, if I want to achieve great things, I should distinguish my merits and demerits. If Wei Yan's plan is successful this time, no matter what his original intentions are, this Jingnan's first contribution is none other than him. I should reward and encourage him. Killing them for unwarranted crimes, or taking precautions everywhere, making meritorious people cold-hearted and unable to retaliate in their hearts, this is not an act of enlightenment, I can't do it!"

When Xu Huang and the military officers heard this, they were secretly relieved. Guo Jia was still smiling and didn't react much. As for Kuai Yue, although he was calm, he admired Li Yi's magnanimity in his heart.

At this time, Li Yi changed the subject and said again: "However, this Wei Yan does have some problems. I still remember that before he went to the ring to fight against Evil, his attitude was quite arrogant. Hehe, if it wasn't for Evil at that time The fist hurts him, I'm afraid he can't even pay attention to me."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, with a faint feeling that Wei Yan was going to be in trouble.

Li Yi continued: "So, Wei Yan has meritorious service, and I will reward him, but in order to prevent him from going astray in the future, and to make him a real pillar of talent, after meeting in the future, we must give him a hard knock."

Having said that, Li Yi shifted his gaze to Guo Jia, Guo Jia saw this and asked, "I don't know what the lord's plan is?"

"Hehe, it's simple. When Wei Yan comes, you can be a villain and kill him once."

Guo Jia understood Li Yi's meaning in the blink of an eye, coughed dryly, and said, "Yes, this subordinate takes orders!"

Because of Wei Yan's help, Li Yi decided not to continue waiting for news from Han Xuan. The next day, the army directly dispatched and continued south. Just halfway there, he received a letter from the prefect sent by Han Xuan, with a map of the local household registration. book, and the pleading document written by Han Xuan himself.

It turned out that after Wei Yan sent troops, Han Xuan was very moved at first, and worried about Wei Yan's safety, but when he heard that Li Yi's envoy to persuade him to surrender came, and that he didn't meet Wei Yan at all on the road, Han Xuan immediately felt Something is wrong, things seem to be different from what he thought.

At this moment, someone sent him another letter, saying that Wei Yan had left it for him. When Han Xuan saw it, he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.

Wei Yan told Han Xuan in the letter that Li Yi is a heavenly soldier and unstoppable. Therefore, for the sake of Han Xuan's wealth and life, it is better to surrender Li Yi early. Don't have any other thoughts that you shouldn't have. Wei Yan was grateful for Han Xuan's kindness. In order to prevent Han Xuan from making mistakes and to make Han Xuan make the right choice as soon as possible, he simply took Changsha's elite soldiers and horses south to take Guiyang for Li Yi.

After reading this letter, Han Xuan was furious and scolded Wei Yan for nothing. Fortunately, he thought Wei Yan was fighting for his life before, and he was even moved to tears in private. As a result, the current situation made Han Xuan Xuan was so angry and ashamed that he wanted to kill Wei Yan.

However, anger returns to anger, scolding returns to scolding, after calming down, Han Xuan still followed what Wei Yan said, and it was strange that he sent someone to deliver a letter of surrender to Li Yi.

After all, Wei Yan took all of Changsha's family property away, and Han Xuan didn't have the capital to resist even if he wanted to.

So, two days later, Li Yi pulled up Han Xuan, who was kneeling and begging to surrender, in front of the gate of Linxiang City, and led the army into the city with a smile. It can be regarded as taking Changsha County without bloodshed.

And not long after Li Yi entered Changsha, Wei Yan also arrived in Chen County, Guiyang Prefecture, and was warmly received by the prefect Zhao Li and his brother Zhao Fan.

The reason why Wei Yan is so popular is because he told the Zhao family brothers that Han Xuan was too timid and had no spirit of resistance, and he was only thinking of surrendering to Li Yi. Han Xuan fought, so he simply brought his cronies to Guiyang to join Zhao Li, hoping that Zhao Li could take them in.

Zhao Li was naturally overjoyed. He saw the people Wei Yan led, although there were only five thousand, but they were all elites. If these people were included under his command, they would have the power to fight Li Yi.

Coupled with Liu Du's containment in the direction of Wuling, they might really make Li Yi suffer a big fall in Jingnan.

Therefore, Zhao Li accepted Wei Yan decisively, but after a long time of contact, he directly called him a brother, and Zhao Li even asked Wei Yan to be his officiant.

Zhao Li's original spouse died early, and recently there was a girl from Fan's family in the city who was ready to marry, and she was very charming. Anyone who saw her was called a national beauty, and even those who were good at it praised her as Jingnan's first daughter. A beauty, Zhao Li met once a few months ago, and he was fascinated by it, and decided to welcome the daughter of Fan's family as his wife, and the wedding was just the second day after Wei Yan arrived in Chen County.

Wei Yan's timing was coincidental, and Zhao Li regarded it as a double happiness, and was very happy. In addition, in order to show his closeness, he directly asked Wei Yan to be the officiant.

However, no one expected that at the wedding banquet the next day, when everyone was drunk, Wei Yan took advantage of the time to toast to Zhao Li, swiped the dagger in his sleeve, and directly cut off Zhao Li. Li's throat was stained with blood on the new clothes, and before everyone could react, Wei Yan relied on his high martial arts skills and stabbed the short blade into Zhao Fan's heart with one move.

The brothers of the Zhao family were both killed in the blink of an eye, and only then did the guests realize that they either fled, or wanted to kill Wei Yan to avenge Zhao Li, but Wei Yan had already made arrangements. In a moment, everyone was subdued.

Everyone was startled and angry, and they cursed Wei Yan one after another. Wei Yan mentioned Li Yi's name again. It has to be said that Li Yi's name is very useful now. Wei Yan raised his sword and sent all of them to the underworld.

Chapter 444 Pull Wei Yan down, cut it off!

When Li Yi learned that Wei Yan had taken Chen County, he had returned to Yiyang again.

The handover process of Han Xuan's surrender was very smooth before, and Li Yi took over Linxiang City with little effort. However, considering that the main enemy in the future is on Wuling's side, and Yiyang is close to Wuling, so it is easy to use troops, Li Yi took The main force of the soldiers and horses, as well as the original Changsha officials, returned to Yiyang to station, and put on a posture that they would send troops to Wuling at any time to put pressure on Liu Du.

At the same time, Li Yi gave an order to Jin Xuan, the prefect of Lingling, ordering him to raise all Lingling's soldiers, go north to Wuling, and attack Linyuan where Liu Du is located.

Although Jin Xuan didn't go to Xiangyang to report according to Li Yi's instructions earlier, he didn't do everything right, and even gave Li Yi a generous gift. It can be seen that this person is very afraid of Li Yi. Now that Li Yi won Changsha, Wei Yan killed him again. In order to please Li Yi, this guy will probably be obedient. Whether to kill or stay, it all depends on Li Yi's mood.

Compared with Jin Xuan, a guy who is not very popular, Changsha prefect Han Xuan seems to be okay.

Li Yi secretly learned that it is possible for this Han Xuan to be an official, and he has a good reputation among the people. Therefore, Li Yi has publicly stated that he will continue to let Han Xuan be the prefect in Jingnan in the future, but he will not be allowed to be an official in Jingnan. Changsha.

Han Xuan didn't expect that Li Yi would still use him. Naturally, he was grateful and expressed his loyalty repeatedly. Li Yi smiled noncommittal. His future strategic focus will be in the north. Jingnan is equivalent to a logistics base. There is a Cai Mao in the military force. That's enough. As for other officials, Li Yi doesn't ask how talented they are, as long as they can ensure that they don't mess things up and let the common people produce well.

Li Yi has arrangements for Changsha and Lingling, but for Wei Yan, although there are good news coming in, Li Yi doesn't seem to have seen it, and hasn't replied a word.

A few days later, as expected, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Lingling, saw that Li Yi had won Changsha and Guiyang, and knew that the situation was irreversible, so he didn't hesitate anymore, and directly brought more than 6000 people north to help in the battle. When Li Yi got the news, he It has entered the boundary of Wuling.

At the same time, Li Yi diverted the [-] soldiers and horses that Xiangyang originally planned to support him, and sent them to Cai He instead to strengthen his momentum and put pressure on Liu Xian and Xing Daorong in Yi County, so that they would not dare to take it easy Retreat to support Liu Du.

Counting Li Yi's more than 2 people stationed in Yiyang, Liu Du is now surrounded by enemies on three sides, and the situation is very bad.

However, Li Yi was not in a hurry to do it. On the one hand, he wanted to push Liu Du to a dead end before doing it, and on the other hand, he was waiting for Wei Yan's arrival.

On this day, Wei Yan brought [-] Qingqi and more than a dozen civil and military officials from Guiyang to the outside of Yiyang City to meet Li Yi.
