Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

With the grace of saving lives, if Chen Deng did something bad against Li Yi, he would definitely be stabbed in the back.

After I finished my business for the Chen family, there was nothing for Li Yi to worry about in Xiapi, and after getting some supplies from Ruo Rong, Li Yi's army set off again the next morning, Go to Tan County.

Li Yi set off, and Ruo Rong had to bring many officials to see him off again. Naturally, Li Yi also had to be courteous with everyone, but soon, Li Yi discovered that the Chen family father and son were not among the people who saw him off!

So Li Yi asked Ruo Rong, but Ruo Rong's answer was completely beyond Li Yi's expectations.

Ruo Rong told Li Yi that Chen Gui was suddenly seriously ill and could not be a director. As the eldest son, Chen Deng was waiting in front of the couch, so he could not come to see Li Yi off.

Chen Deng also asked Ruo Rong to tell Li Yi, hoping that he would not blame him.

After getting the news, Li Yi became a little absent-minded, said some polite words to Ruo Rong hastily, and then parted from the person who saw him off with full of doubts.

Li Yi was very puzzled. Although he was not really an old Chinese doctor, when he was at Chen Deng's house yesterday, he could see clearly that although Chen Gui was old, his complexion was rosy, his tone was sonorous, his thoughts were quick, and he was in good condition in all aspects. , It doesn't look like you will be sick at all.

Li Yi was puzzled, so he called Hua Tuo to ask. Hua Tuo also said that Chen Gui should not be ill, unless it was a bruise, or he suffered from the wind and cold last night. When sleeping, there are maids guarding it, so the possibility of catching cold is very small.

So Li Yi called four more think tanks to think about the matter together, and finally everyone came to the unanimous conclusion that Chen Gui was faking sickness nine out of ten, and the root cause of the feigning sickness was related to Li Yi's visit yesterday!

Li Yi also agrees with this point, but as for the specific reasons why Chen Gui pretended to be sick, everyone has different ideas. Some think that Chen Gui is using this to avoid contact with Li Yi, while others think that the Chen family is now affirming Li Yi. With good intentions, although Chen Gui pretended to be sick with deep meaning, it was definitely not malicious towards Li Yi.

Li Yi thinks that these two statements are very reasonable, but Li Yi can't judge which one it is, so he can only write it down for the time being, and then tell everyone how to do it. Keep Liu Bei in Xuzhou!

Li Yi really went all out this time. He didn't care about face at all, and directly told everyone in plain language that he would keep Liu Bei no matter what on this trip, even if he took half of the people he brought out.

Although everyone knew that Liu Bei was Li Yi's important goal, they still didn't expect Li Yi to be so persistent with Liu Bei, even to the point of disregarding the overall situation.

However, Li Yi is very authoritative. He has never missed the general direction of the various decisions he made in the past. Therefore, Xun You and others only tried a little bit, seeing that Li Yi's attitude cannot be changed, and Li Yi seldom has such an attitude. When he was self-willed, he stopped persuading him, and started to seriously plot Liu Bei for him, and in order to make Li Yi happy, these people have lost their morals, and they will use all kinds of schemes to frame them.

As Li Yi got closer and closer to Tan County, Xia Houyuan sensed the threat, so he chose to gather his forces and stopped attacking Lanling where Liu Bei was located, so that Donghai County's tense nerves were temporarily relaxed.

Tao Qian also relaxed a lot. He is already very old and lacks energy. The recent series of events can be said to have made him physically and mentally exhausted. If Cao Cao hadn't killed people too viciously, Tao Qian would have quit.

Now that Xia Houyuan has retreated, Tao Qian has been relieved, and he is in a good mood, and his attitude towards Li Yi has also changed. Several times, he couldn't help but praise Li Yi in public, saying that Li Yi has a good reputation, and he is not yet When it comes, Xia Houyuan dare not move.

Everyone in Tan County was happy for Li Yi's arrival, but for Liu Bei who was stationed in Lanling, Li Yi's arrival was like a bolt from the blue!

Although Liu Bei hated Li Yi deeply, and never wanted to avenge that sword, Liu Bei was still not confused. He knew that his strength was far behind Li Yi, and he was not Li Yi's opponent at all, and Li Yi himself was too dangerous. Liu Bei I would rather face the three Xia Houyuan than meet Li Yi face to face.

In a courtyard in Lanling, the charcoal in the stove made small crackling noises from time to time, but the three brothers Liu Bei and Jian Yong sat in a circle, like clay sculptures, without any sound at all.

There was still a full bottle of wine on the low table next to them, but they didn't move, even Zhang Fei, who had always been the best drinker, was no longer focused on wine.

Because there was an invitation card in front of several people, it was sent by Tao Qian, the main content was that Li Yi was going to Tan County soon, Tao Qian wanted to serve Li Yi with wine, and Liu Bei was also a person who helped Xuzhou , naturally also being invited.

Tao Qian still has a good impression of Liu Bei, so he also specifically mentioned the past of Liu Bei and Li Yi in the invitation, expressing his willingness to make peace for the two, not to turn the enemy into a friend, but at least let Li Yi no longer For Liu Bei,

And this can be regarded as Tao Qian's gratitude to Liu Bei for helping Xuzhou after thinking about it for a long time.

Because of Li Yi's appearance, Tao Qian had no intention of giving up Xuzhou to Liu Bei. After all, the enmity between the two is so great. If there is a big difference in status, they may smile like Han Xin, but if the two have similar identities , who can bow their heads in this situation?Definitely want to see life and death!

But although Tao Qian thought very well, he didn't know that this invitation was simply a reminder to Liu Bei!

Liu Bei is not a timid person. If the other party Tao Qian hosted was not Li Yi, but a fierce person like Cao Cao, or even Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Bei would not be afraid at all, and he would go when he should.

But Li Yi can't!

Thinking back when the two met for the first time, it was definitely a very happy conversation, and it was too late to meet each other, but what happened?

It was just dark, and as soon as Liu Bei closed his eyes, Li Yi turned his face and stabbed Liu Bei.

Because of an accident in the middle, which alarmed the two Guan and Zhang in the same courtyard, Li Yi saw that he could not kill, so he even took Liu Bei's saber away when he fled, and afterwards he made a mess of Liu Bei in front of the princes of the world, so that As for Liu Bei, he was squeezed out everywhere and struggled.

It can be seen from this that although Li Yi is well-known, he is actually shameless and will do everything to achieve his goals. Liu Bei feels that if he goes to a banquet, Li Yi will dare to lift the table and kill people on the spot.

As for Tao Qian's guarantee

With Li Yi's current power and Xuzhou's situation, if he really killed someone, at most he would be complained by Tao Qian, nothing else.

Liu Bei sighed inwardly, and said softly, "Should I go to this banquet? Or not?"

"call"

Before Guan Yu and Zhang Fei could answer, their breathing became a little rough.

At the beginning, not only Liu Bei felt that Li Yi's temperament and expression were very different from ordinary people, and he wanted to have a deep friendship with Li Yi, so did Guan Yu.

Although Guan Yu is quite arrogant and few people are convinced, but after seeing Li Yi's conversation that day, although Guan Yu did not hold Li Yi's hand like Liu Bei on the surface, crying and saying something, Mr. Talent, please Help me and the like, but in fact Guan Yu has already regarded Li Yi as Liu Bei's mastermind in his heart, thinking that if Liu Bei can have Li Yi's assistance, he will surely achieve a great career in the future.

Later, when Liu Bei asked Li Yi to sleep on his feet, Guan Yu was even secretly happy, but he didn't expect that what he was happy to wait for was not a mastermind, but Liu Bei's screams at night.

Guan Yu blamed himself very much. He felt that he didn't know people well, and he was also responsible for a large part of Liu Bei's injury, and his hatred for Li Yi was not weaker than Liu Bei's.

When they first learned that Li Yi was coming to Xuzhou, Guan Yu even proposed to intercept and kill Li Yi halfway to avenge Liu Bei. As if cold water had been poured on them, they never mentioned the matter of intercepting and killing Li Yi, but began to worry about whether Li Yi would attack them, and if so, how would they protect themselves.

Neither Zhang Fei nor Jian Yong knew that when Liu Bei had just received the invitation, Guan Yu found Liu Bei. Guan Yu suggested that Liu Bei leave Xuzhou, or at least leave Donghai County. side, sooner or later he will be harmed by it.

However, Liu Bei did not agree to Guan Yu's suggestion.

After that, Guan Yu didn't persuade him any more.

Because they all understood that Qingzhou Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai would not tolerate Liu Bei, and Xuzhou was basically their last chance. If they escaped from Xuzhou this time, it would be difficult to preserve Liu Bei's remaining reputation.

Moreover, Liu Bei is also a human being, so he will be tired. The political achievements he made in Qingzhou before are simple and pleasant to say, but in that suppressed environment, Liu Bei can still make achievements. It is conceivable that he has paid in the end. How much painstaking effort, how much humiliation endured.

if another place

Liu Bei doesn't have that strength anymore, and the world is so big, how can he accommodate him?

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't speak, Liu Bei knew that he still had the same idea as before. He sighed in his heart for his second brother who should have been so proud, but now he could only advise him to protect himself, and then looked at Zhang Fei.

Sensing Liu Bei's gaze, Zhang Fei tilted his head slightly. He also wanted to persuade Liu Bei to leave Xuzhou. It was important to save his life, but he couldn't say that.

Back in Yuan Shao's tent, Zhang Fei's opinion of Liu Bei was shaken by Li Yi's talk, but when Zhang Fei came back to Liu Bei again, he didn't go directly to Liu Bei for verification, but observed Liu Bei's words and deeds , so Zhang Fei gradually understood that his eldest brother did have great ambitions and wanted to achieve a great cause in this troubled world.

But is this wrong?

There are many people in the world who have this kind of thinking, and Li Yi is one of them, and Liu Bei is also loyal and considerate of the people, which is many times better than other people who want to do great things.

As a result, the hesitation in Zhang Fei's heart towards Liu Bei dissipated before it had time to brew. Moreover, Zhang Fei felt a lot more guilty towards Liu Bei. Later, Liu Bei was squeezed out by Gongsun Zan, Tian Kai and others. , but he was more considerate of Liu Bei's suffering, and he endured the resentment in his heart again and again, not letting Liu Bei worry about it.

It can be seen from this that Zhang Fei also hates Li Yi who cheated Liu Bei, but unlike Liu Bei and Guan Yu, the two of them only saw the hypocrite side of Li Yi, while Zhang Fei witnessed how Li Yi was a hypocrite. It was a blockbuster and beheaded Hua Xiong.

At that time, Zhang Fei only thought that it was the pinnacle of Li Yi's life, but what Li Yi did later shocked Zhang Fei again and again, and gradually made him fall into despair.

Guan Yu persuaded Liu Bei to leave Xuzhou because Xuzhou was dangerous, and he should find another place slowly.

And Zhang Fei also wanted to persuade Liu Bei to leave, but it was because he had no hope of defeating Li Yi at all.
