Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

However, Li Yi just kept Fan Yun'e for one night, and said something to her the next day, saying that he would take care of her family, etc., and then arranged for someone to send Fan Yun'e back to Xiangyang.

Li Yi never thought that getting close to women would have any impact on his great career, except for Kong Rong, who had a brain hole, and whether he was an old scholar like Cai Yong or an upright person like Zhuge Xuan, they were not in this regard. persuaded him.

Because everyone can see that although Li Yi is a bit lecherous, he can grasp the proportions. For example, this time, although Li Yi wanted Fan Yun'e, because he was leading the army, Li Yi immediately sent her back Xiangyang.

It can be seen from this that Li Yi can tell the difference between the serious and the serious, and will not make mistakes because of female sex, so what else can the people below have to say?

After accepting Wei Yan, Li Yi immediately made some adjustments to Guiyang's personnel arrangements.

First of all, it was impossible to recognize the Gong Zhi Li Yi appointed by Wei Yan before, so Li Yi appointed his uncle Fude as the prefect of Guiyang, and Gong Zhi as the prefect of the county to assist Fude.

However, Li Yi is not unkind. In order to prevent Gong Zhi from having any ideas, Li Yi sent a letter to suggest that Gong Zhi would only be asked to assist Fude for a year. After Guiyang was stabilized, he would be transferred back to Xiangyang. Then there are other tasks.

In Li Yi's view, this should be enough to appease Gong Zhi. If he is not satisfied, then this person doesn't have to stay. Anyway, Wei Yan killed many officials in Guiyang, and Li Yi doesn't mind adding him.

As for why the prefect of Guiyang chose Fude, this is a compromise result.

Let Li Yilai evaluate the original Xiangyang officials. Among them, those who are qualified to be sent out as prefects have good overall quality. Maybe they can’t compete with think tanks like Xun You and Guo Jia in terms of resourcefulness alone, but they are proficient. Government affairs are very good at governing the people. In this regard, the so-called top counselors may not be as useful as them.

However, most of these people's roots are in Jingbei, and Guiyang's location is a little remote. If they serve as Guiyang prefects in the past, they will inevitably feel left out. Li Yixin won Jingzhou and is still winning people's hearts. It is definitely not the best policy for such a person to go to Guiyang.

So, Li Yi turned his attention to Fude.

In order to prevent Fu's family from picking peaches in Jingzhou before, Li Yi already had the idea of ​​letting Fude go to Jingnan, and the neglect that Fude received some time ago was of course because Li Yi was dissatisfied with Fude's ignorance in the letter, At the same time, it was Li Yi who was taking advantage of the problem, deliberately looking for an opportunity to beat Fu De, and prepare for his appointment in the future.

Just imagine, if it weren't for Li Yi's secret instruction, how many people in Jingzhou would dare to take the initiative to stop his uncle's letter, wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

Originally, Li Yi was waiting for Fushou to say good things to Fude, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope to give Fude an appointment, and also made Fushou happy, but he didn't want Fushou to say nothing until he led the army to Jingnan, which made Fushou Li Yi felt that he owed her a lot, and now that Guiyang was free, Li Yi let Fude go there.

It is "exile" for senior officials to go to Guiyang, but for young and inexperienced officials like Fude, it is all about experience. Li Yi feels that with Fude's own talent and learning, and the father-in-law behind him Pointing, should not let him down.

After the appointment of Vode, the rest is military.

With Wei Yan's arrival and Jin Xuan's march to the north, Li Yi already had an absolute advantage in Jingnan, so he was not in a hurry at all. First, he asked Xu Huang to incorporate the soldiers and horses brought by Wei Yan, digest and absorb them, and then After waiting for a few more days, they got the news that Jin Xuan won Yuannan without a fight, and then ordered the army to go to Wuling, preparing to take Linyuan in one fell swoop.

In the process, Liu Du, the prefect of Wuling, saw that Li Yi had won Changsha and Guiyang, and Jin Xuan, the prefect of Lingling, also joined Li Yi. Yi appointed Han Xuan as the future prefect of Wuling, so he sent a letter of surrender to Li Yi, acknowledging his previous mistakes, vowing to work hard for Li Yi in the future, and asking Li Yi to forgive him.

However, after Li Yi read the letter, he directly burned Liu Du's letter on fire. Although Han Xuan was unwilling to surrender him at first, Han Xuan didn't use force with him, and stayed in his own home all the time. But Liu Du's performance was so bad that he even accused him and took the initiative to send troops to take down Yi County. This was beyond Li Yi's tolerance. Li Yi had to kill Liu Du to let people know that his bottom line was untouchable.

Moreover, Li Yi ran around Jingnan with 2 people this time. He didn't show his sword in Guiyang and Lingling, Changsha. Now there is only one Wuling left, and there is no chance to see blood again.

However, I don't know if it was destined that Li Yi would not kill in Jingnan. When Li Yi's army was about to arrive at Linyuan, the city of Wuling, some officials in the city came to see him, saying that Liu Du had left with his seal and disappeared without a trace. , Now the officials and people in the city are waiting for Li Yi's arrival.

After Li Yi heard the news, he was a little happy, but also a little speechless. He thought Liu Du was a ruthless person, but he didn't expect to be so cowardly, and he ran away before the battle.

However, after learning about Lin Yuan's situation from the officials who came, Li Yi found that Liu Du's escape was considered wise.

Before Liu Du sent the main force to Yi County, now there are only about [-] soldiers in Linyuan City, and half of them are newly conscripted. The combat power is very sparse, and the guard in the city is a distant relative of Liu Du. Relatives, well-connected households, don't have much ability at all.

And what about Li Yi's lineup?

In terms of soldiers and horses, including Jin Xuan stationed in Yuannan, Li Yi now has more than 3 people, which is ten times that of Linyuan. Unless Liu Du brings back all the people from Yi County, there will be no battle at all. force.

However, Cai He on the opposite side of Yi County also increased his troops. Although Li Yi gave Cai He an order not to allow him to cross the river, Liu Xian and Xing Daorong in Yi County did not know this, so the eight thousand elites died like this Those who died were pinned to the edge of the Yangtze River and could not return for help at all.

Counting the generals on both sides again, Liu Du is only Xing Daorong who can take the shot, but Li Yi's side, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Liu Pan, Xu Huang here has been rewarded by the emperor, and the rest Although the three of them are not famous enough, they are definitely considered powerful figures in this area of ​​Jingnan.

With such a disparity in strength between the two sides, Liu Du's escape is not difficult to understand.

Although Liu Du's abandonment of the city made Li Yi feel a little regretful, he was still happy overall. Li Yi still adhered to his consistent principles, that is, if he could not fight, he would not fight, and if he could kill fewer people, he would die less. Yi didn't have to march around the corner to put pressure on Wuling little by little.

After that, Li Yi asked Xu Huang to lead troops into Linyuan, take over the city, and let this depressed general go to get some credit.

Li Yi is very sympathetic to Xu Huang now. Before he came, he told Xu Huang that Xu Huang was asked to come to Jingnan to make meritorious service, but in the end he made soy sauce all the way. This is indeed a bit sad for a general who wants to make meritorious service.

After Xu Huang entered the city, Li Yi was stationed outside. Li Yi kept an eye out. He wanted to prevent Liu Du from setting him a trap, because street fighting in the city would reduce the advantage in numbers, especially at night. In control, Li Yi didn't want the gutter to capsize.

But it turns out that Li Yi thought too much, and Liu Du really ran away.

Therefore, Li Yi asked the army to stop in Linyuan and ordered people to trace Liu Du's whereabouts. Although Li Yi himself felt that there was little hope, he still issued a strict order that Liu Du must be arrested. This is a matter of attitude.

There is another important event in Linyuan, which is about Lingling.

Li Yi ordered Jin Xuan to come to see him. Although Jin Xuan was afraid, he didn't dare not to come, so Li Yi directly had Jin Xuan detained, accused of corruption, and taken to Xiangyang.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yi asked Xu Huang to take over Jinxuan's soldiers and horses with military orders. At the same time, he appointed Yuan Huan as the prefect of Lingling and Pang Ji as the governor of Lingling County, and assigned them [-] soldiers and horses to escort them to the post.

In fact, Li Yi originally wanted to put Pang Ji in the position directly. He had a good impression of the Pang family, and Pang Ji had been with him for a long time. When he was in office, there were many misbehaviors. If Pang Ji could not appease the good place, it would actually harm him. Therefore, Li Yi used Guo Jia's opinion and adopted a method similar to the "Belt and One" to let Pang Ji become Yuan Huan. With Yuan Huan's seniority as his deputy, as long as Pang Ji works hard enough, he will be able to take charge on his own within three years.

After finishing these matters, Li Yi continued to march northward. Although Liu Du ran away, Liu Xian and Xing Daorong from Yi County were still there. Seven days later, Li Yi's army camped ten miles outside Yi County. And on this day, Li Yi also got news that many counties in Wuling had surrendered, but he hadn't gotten any news about Liu Du, and as far as Li Yi knew, Liu Du hadn't come to Yi County either. It's just disappeared.

Although Li Yi wanted to kill Liu Du, he didn't pay much attention to him. He ordered people to continue searching, and then began to think about how to take down Yi County.

Yi County is just an ordinary county town, and the city defense is not considered strong, but there are [-] elites from Wuling in the city, and it will take some effort to confront them head-on.

Therefore, Li Yi asked the generals around him to offer their advice.

Liu Pan is a boring gourd and doesn't like to express opinions. Huang Zhong is eager to make contributions and suggests attacking the city directly. There are many people who share the same idea as Huang Zhong. In Jingnan, Yixian County is just an isolated city, and the parents and relatives of the defenders in the city are under Li Yi's rule, so they must have no intention of resisting. As long as the offensive is strong, the city can definitely be broken in one battle without too many casualties.

After that, Wei Yan was more tactful. He suggested that Li Yi shoot a letter of persuasion into the city. Given the current situation in the city, it would not take a few days for the city to go into chaos without fighting.

Li Yi asked the general Xu Huang again, the general who needed the most credit to prove himself, but agreed with Wei Yan's opinion, thinking that Li Yi didn't need to attack by force, just besieged the city.

The two sides disagreed, so they naturally had to argue. Li Yi listened carefully, although he didn't say he was disappointed, but he was definitely not too satisfied.

After all, famous generals can only be achieved through experience and precipitation. It doesn't mean that your name is Xu Huang and his name is Huang Zhong, then you are destined to be famous generals.

Soon, the debate between the two sides gradually lost its new meaning. Li Yi waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then asked, "What do you think, two military advisers?"

Guo Jia and Kuai Yue looked at each other, Kuai Yue smiled, took a step back, and said: "Feng Xiao has a good plan, and Yue Yue will stop showing shame in front of the lord."

Both of these two are Li Yi's military advisors, so they naturally discussed the current situation in private. In the process of communication, Guo Jia's keen sense of military strategy surprised Kuai Yue many times. I am already ashamed of myself.

"Mr. is still so humble."

Li Yi smiled slightly, then looked at Guo Jia, and said, "Since Mr. is so flattering, Feng Xiao, don't hide it."

Guo Jia came out and bowed his hands to Li Yi and the others, and then said: "Actually, what you said makes sense. At this time, a strong attack will surely destroy Yi County in half a day. In Jia's view, this is the best strategy."

Huang Zhong and the others showed disappointment. Since Guo Jia said that they were the best strategy, then Xu Huang and Wei Yan's idea was naturally the best strategy.

However, Guo Jia followed up and said: "As for what Gong Ming and Wen Chang said, although they can defeat others without fighting, they have ignored some problems. Therefore, this is a bad policy and not advisable."

Wei Yan was about to laugh at first, but he couldn't laugh when he heard the words, and he was puzzled, but he didn't dare to question. Although he already knew that Li Yi ordered the tossing a few days ago, it was too ruthless. , he somewhat shadowed Guo Jia.

Xu Huang frowned and thought about it for a while, but he didn't quite understand, so he could only ask, "Please enlighten me, military advisor."

Guo Jia returned the gift, bowed his hand to Li Yiyi, and said: "Borrowing a word from the lord, that is to think in another way. Although Gong Ming and Wen Chang saw that the army in the city must be in chaos, why didn't they think about it? Liu Xian and Xing Could it be that Daorong can't see the danger in front of him? Could it be that they will sit and wait for death?"
