Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Maybe Tao Qian just wanted to teach Zhang Zhao a lesson, and just tell Zhang Zhao to be soft, but this behavior is very outrageous in the eyes of outsiders.

Zhao Yu and Wang Lang were very dissatisfied with Tao Qian's actions before, and Zhang Zhao's incident made them feel completely chilled, so the two began to plan to be sent to a local place to be a prefect, so as to avoid Tao Qian, and no longer Working directly with him, Zhao Yu and Wang Lang would probably have left by now if it wasn't for the Cao Cao incident.

Thinking of this, Li Yi looked at Tao Qian with a little more pity in his eyes. It is his luck that such a person can die of illness in a troubled world instead of dying by a sword.

Li Yi had messy thoughts in his heart, but on the surface he was always smiling, and no one could offend him.

At this time, Tao Qian and Sun Qian gave orders for the noon banquet. Li Yi looked aside and saw that Cao Bao seemed to be sneaking into the crowd, so he took a step to Cao Bao's side and said softly: "Last time, my subordinate ordered Wei and Xu Sheng were a bit reckless in Xuzhou and offended the general, I hope General Cao will forgive me, Yi is here to apologize to the general for them."

Li Yi arched his hands and spoke very gently, but Cao Bao was startled, his expression seemed to be taken aback, and he quickly bowed to Li Yi and said, "What's the matter with Marquis Xiang? Something is wrong, it is Cao who should make amends to Marquis Xiang."

After all, Cao Bao bowed to Li Yi again and again to make amends, with a very frightened expression on his face.

Greeting Li Yi today, if Liu Bei and the others are the most troublesome, then Cao Bao is the second most troublesome.

When Li Yi asked Dianwei to go to Mi's house to propose marriage, Cao Bao also came to the door, and he wanted to pry Li Yi's corner on the spot, and wanted Dianwei to work in Xuzhou.

Later, when the poaching failed, Cao Bao was run over by Dian Wei, and became angry from embarrassment, and even wanted to arrest Xu Sheng's family members. Although nothing major happened in the end because the Mi family handled it well, Cao Bao's behavior was quite bad.

In fact, Cao Bao was a little wronged. He was instructed by Tao Qian to do what happened at that time.

Tao Qian felt that it was rude for Li Yi to send people to Xuzhou without visiting him first, but Dian Wei came here one-on-one and gained a great reputation, so Tao Qian wanted Cao Bao to recruit Dian Wei , Take in a strong general, and at the same time save Li Yi's face, let him know that he must respect his seniors.

When meeting this time, Tao Qian didn't take the matter at that time too seriously. After all, Dian Wei was just a warrior with little weight in his opinion. Li Yi didn't think he would mind too much. His attitude made him feel that what he thought was right.

But Cao Bao is different. Although he has average talent, he is at least a leader of soldiers. He knows that Li Yi, a fierce man like Dian Wei, definitely values ​​him very much. You must know that with the current situation in Xuzhou, he can neither offend Li Yi, nor can he say that Tao Qian is the master envoy. Then, if Li Yi wants to find fault, he can only suffer.

Therefore, Cao Bao always panicked when he saw Li Yi. He heard that Li Yi not only did not question him, but took the initiative to apologize to him. Although Cao Bao wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he really didn't dare. It is ironic.

Cao Bao's gesture of apologizing to Li Yi was a bit big, which attracted the attention of many people. Tao Qian walked over just as he had finished giving orders, and asked, "Why is this?"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, pulled Cao Bao up, looked at Xu Dan and Lu You who were beside him and said, "I was telling General Cao and the others that this time Cao Cao's army invaded Xuzhou with fierce force, although Yi brought troops to help, In terms of military strength alone, Xuzhou has already surpassed Cao Cao. However, the victory or defeat of a soldier cannot be calculated only by numbers. We must not be negligent because of this. Make sure that there will be no mistakes in the future war, so that the people of Xuzhou can enjoy peace, and if they return to Jingzhou in the future, they can live up to the expectations of the people of Jingzhou!"

There are several meanings in Li Yi's words. First of all, he told Cao Bao that he really didn't want to settle old scores. He just hoped that everyone would work together to fight well, and don't hold each other back at critical times.

Secondly, Li Yi also made a statement, letting everyone know that he will still return to Jingzhou in the future.

In fact, when Tao Qian saw Cao Bao's appearance, he probably knew what they were talking about. Originally, Tao Qian wanted to rescue Cao Bao, but Li Yi had already expressed his position first, so he was very happy, and immediately laughed and said: "With the Lord Xiang here, Why is Xuzhou afraid of Cao Cao? Do you think so?"

Cao Bao felt that Li Yi really didn't bother with him, so he was really relieved, and hurriedly agreed: "What the envoy said is that as soon as the Marquis Xiang arrived in Xuzhou, Xia Houyuan withdrew his troops and did not dare to continue invading. Hou Wei's name is extraordinary."

Others also said some compliments, Li Yi laughed and said a few words modestly, not taking what these people said to heart.

Li Yi's mind is not very big, and he doesn't like Cao Bao. His attitude just now was really just worried that people like Cao Bao would hold him back at the critical moment.

But we can't let Dian Wei and the others do this, let them say sorry to Cao Bao, that would be really bowing their heads, Dian Wei and the others would lose face, and Li Yi would also lose face.

But if Li Yi said it himself, it seemed that his face was damaged, but in the eyes of more people, it was Li Yi who was broad-minded and magnanimous enough, and Li Yi's subordinates would also be grateful that Li Yi cared about their face, It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

When everyone's compliments stopped, Li Yi waved to the back and said, "Come evil, get the sword for me!"

Everyone was wondering what Li Yi was going to do, when they saw Dian Wei standing in front of Li Yi holding three swords.

Li Yi took the swords and handed them to Cao Bao, Xu Dan and Lu You in turn, saying, "I got these three swords from Dong Zhuo's treasury, and they are all sharp blades!"

In fact, although the quality of these three swords is indeed quite good, they have nothing to do with Dong Zhuo at all, but no matter what Li Yi says about this matter, no one else can verify it, and they thought it was Dong Zhuo's collection. Suddenly, everyone looked at the sword more. With a trace of scorching heat, the three Xuzhou Zhonglang Jiang quietly clenched their hands tightly.

Cao Bao declined with some reluctance: "Mr. Xiang, how can we accept such a precious thing?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "Otherwise, these three swords are for me to eliminate thieves. I gave them to the three generals today in the hope that I can fight against thieves together with the three generals in the future, so the three generals just accept them."

When Cao Bao saw what Li Yi said, he no longer refused, and happily accepted the sword, and Xu Dan and Lu You couldn't hide the joy on their faces. They had never thought about it before, the famous Li Xiang They were flattered that Hou actually brought them gifts.

Li Yi was also very satisfied with the reactions of the two of them. He didn't expect to use a sword to bribe people, but he could tell Xu Dan and Lu You that he didn't despise them and let them know They saw the difference between themselves and Tao Qian, so once Xuzhou changed in the future, when these people regrouped, it would be easy for them to choose him.

Seeing Li Yi's actions, many people present nodded secretly, full of confidence in Li Yi.

Tao Qian was also very happy. He had preconceived that Li Yi was a gentleman, so as long as Li Yi didn't do too much in the future, it would be difficult for him to think about other things.

Just as Li Yi continued to talk to Cao Bao and the others, Tao Qian glanced at the three Liu Bei who were clearly standing in the crowd but seemed to be isolated from the crowd, smiled slightly, and then gave Cao Bao and the others a good look. He took Li Yi's hand, and said with a smile: "Xianghou, come here, let me introduce you to an old friend."

Suddenly, Li Yi's heart beat faster. For him, today's main event has just arrived.

When the others heard Tao Qian's words, they all knew what Tao Qian wanted to do. Although their faces were calm, they all focused on Li Yi and Tao Qian here. They really wanted to know, Will Li Yi sell Tao Qian's face?

That's right, most people only pay attention to Li Yi and Tao Qian. As for Liu Bei, although he is the core figure in this matter, basically no one pays attention to him.

Tao Qian pulled Li Yi forward, and the people who were standing in front automatically parted ways. Li Yi still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't know who he was going to meet, but Dian Wei Weiyan who had been keeping quiet before The other four followed Li Yi quietly.

This is what Li Yi told them a long time ago. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are not inferior to Dianwei in martial arts. If they get close, they must always be careful.

Although Li Yi now feels that his body is already very powerful, as long as he is not directly slashed by Guan Yu, ordinary fists and feet should be able to withstand it, but Li Yi has always been careful, he does not want to take that risk, especially when there is a big ticket Under the premise of strong bodyguards, it is even more foolish to take risks in person.

Tao Qian also noticed the movement of those four people, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart, secretly thinking that Li Yi was too careful and underestimated him, but he invited Liu Bei over today, so Liu Bei dared to do something to Li Yi?

But Tao Qian didn't say anything, he just brought Li Yi to the front of Liu Bei and the other three with a smile, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiang, Xuande is also your old acquaintance, and I still came with you." Rescuing Xuzhou, this is another layer of fate, hehe, the old man knows, there seemed to be some friction between the two of you before, but now the time has passed, and the Marquis Xiang has guarded one side for the Son of Heaven. It is also a matter of loyalty, so, hehe, the Marquis Xiang also said that resisting Cao Cao requires everyone to put aside their past suspicions and work together, so from the old man's point of view, it is better for Marquis Xiang not to worry about Xuande's mistakes in the past. how?"

After Tao Qian finished speaking, he smiled and pulled the hands of the two, wanting them to hold each other together, which was regarded as a handshake to make peace. move.

Liu Bei's complexion was a bit unsightly, and Ruya's face turned blue and white. Although he knew that Tao Qian was making peace, he didn't expect Tao Qian to make peace like this. It's fine if he doesn't mention what happened that day, but why Ask Li Yi to forgive his mistakes?

Where did he go wrong?

Although Liu Bei knew very well that he should bow his head decisively at this time, he still felt aggrieved.

The faces of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were beside him also showed dissatisfaction. Li Yi bullied them for no reason, but Tao Qian directly determined that they were wrong. This is really true for two straightforward people. It's too suffocating.

And Li Yi, who was opposite Liu Bei, also didn't expect Tao Qian to say that. He was taken aback for a while, and then wanted to laugh three times, because Tao Qian had done a stupid thing that was not human inside and out.

Seeing the stalemate in the scene, Tao Qian's face was about to lose face, at this time Li Yi's arm moved forward along Tao Qian's strength, grabbed Liu Bei's wrist, and said with a smile: "Long time no see for Xuande, is it okay? "

When he first called Liu Bei Biao, Li Yi was indeed smiling, which was a fake smile, but when he said the next few words, Li Yi's tone changed slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little more embarrassed.

The big men Li Yi has seen, except for Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, are basically handsome men, and Liu Bei's appearance is not bad, although Liu Bei is not as pampered as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. A goodwill halo makes people close to him feel that he is very pleasing to the eye, and then develop a goodwill.

But that was Li Yi's feeling when he saw Liu Bei for the first time. Now the two have only seen each other for a few years. Li Yi's appearance is still the same, but Liu Bei's temples have grown white hair, and there are a few more lines on his face. It didn't seem like it had been a year, but it seemed like five or six years had passed. It can be seen how hard Liu Bei's life was during the past year or so.

In addition, there are changes in Liu Bei's temperament.

The original Liu Bei behaved elegantly, talked generously, and exaggerated. When Liu Bei talked with others, he was as dazzling as the sun and warmed people.

But see you today, people who are not familiar with Liu Bei may not be able to see it, but Li Yi was deeply impressed by Liu Bei, and after another year, he suddenly found that Liu Bei was much more gloomy than a year ago, and he could hardly see the old man. Kind of eye-catching look.

The reason can only be that Liu Bei's mood has changed.

Li Yi is a little bit embarrassed, the generation of heroes who should have risen has been tricked into this by him, Li Yi doesn't have much sense of accomplishment, and he doesn't have much joy, but he is inexplicably afraid when he sighs, he is very afraid that he will not be able to survive in the future Shen, will come to this step.

Therefore, after a brief sigh of emotion, Li Yi calmed down. He can sympathize or respect his opponent in his heart, but he will never be soft at critical moments!
