Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that Chen Gong asked him to see his daughter off again, Lu Bu said decisively, "Don't mention this matter again!"

After saying that, Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun. Seeing this, Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu had to make a decision, secretly said helplessly, so he gritted his teeth and said, "General, I actually have another plan here!"

Lu Bu was taken aback, and said angrily, "Since there are more, why didn't you just say so?"

Lu Bu's tone was relatively flat. He felt that if it was a good strategy, Chen Gong must have spoken before, and if it was delayed until now, it would probably not have much effect.

Chen Gong said softly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but this plan is a poisonous plan. Although it has miraculous effects, it is a bad strategy."

"Oh?"

Lu Bu became interested when he heard the words, and said, "That's the way of Gongtai!"

Chen Gong didn't speak, but looked at Gao Shun, and then at Lu Bu.

Gao Shun snorted, he didn't know that Chen Gong wanted to avoid suspicion, so he got up and wanted to go out, but Lu Bu was quick and grabbed him directly, and then said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, Boping is my confidant. Take your life, no matter what you talk about in the future, there is no need to avoid suspicion."

Gao Shun's face was full of emotion when he heard the words, but Chen Gong sighed secretly, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "After the army is raised, the general can take the lead."

Listening to Chen Gong's plan, Lu Bu's eyes became brighter and brighter, but Gao Shun's face changed, and he said anxiously: "Fengxian, you can't do this!"

Chapter 474

Li Yi and Cao Cao were not aware of Lu Bu's possible actions in Yanzhou, and Xia Houyuan was no exception.

However, unlike Cao Cao, Xia Houyuan has no time to think about Lu Bu's affairs at all, because he has been very angry recently, and it is all because of Li Yi's anger.

Li Yi arrived in Cheng County a few days ago. After arriving, he set up three camps, all of which were at the east gate of Cheng County. The closest one was Liu Bei's camp, then Huang Zhong's tent, and then Li Yi's. Chinese army.

From the point of view of camping alone, Li Yi didn't mean to oppress Xia Houyuan too much.

Before Xia Houyuan gave gifts to Huang Zhong, after Li Yi came, there was no exception, and Li Yi didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything, so Xia Houyuan generously selected a lot of valuable things from the previous few battles. He collected a whole three big carts and gave them to Li Yi, which was considered a waste of money. For this reason, Cao Hong, his deputy general, expressed his dissatisfaction, thinking that this was a loss-making transaction. However, under the persuasion of Cheng Yu, the military adviser Cao Cao assigned to Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong I can only give up.

The purpose of Xia Houyuan's so much capital was to make Li Yi underestimate the enemy. Facts have proved that the effect of underestimating the enemy was almost achieved, but Xia Houyuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

First of all, when the gift arrived, Li Yi accepted it with a smile, and returned three carts of gifts and three carts of food to Xia Houyuan.

When Xia Houyuan saw the grain brought back, his eyes burst into flames, and he almost burned the grain truck.

The gift he gave Li Yi was worth more than [-] carts of food, but Li Yi returned him so much. Although he didn't have any expectations, he didn't expect Li Yi to return so little gift. If it's not a natural sting, it's because Li Yi doesn't look down on him at all, thinking that Xia Houyuan is really afraid of Li Yi, so he deliberately humiliated him.

Both Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong were very angry. Cao Hong immediately proposed to attack at night and rob Li Yi's camp. However, Xia Houyuan, as a general in charge of the army, had a good heart and returned to his spirit, but he still rejected Cao Hong's suggestion. Moreover, the next day, he replied a letter seriously, thanking Li Yi for the food.

Ordinarily, Xia Houyuan's reaction was really tolerant enough, but Li Yi's subsequent response continued to provoke Xia Houyuan's nerves again and again.

The most arrogant among them is the scout on Li Yi's side, who blatantly ran to stroll under the city wall of Cheng County every day, and did nothing else, just stretched his neck and dangled below. If this was normal, he would have been shot The hedgehog is gone, but Xia Houyuan has already shown weakness, and Li Yi has no intention of attacking the city, so he can only let his subordinates bear it.

It's fine if you just endure it for a while, but the most important thing is that a very serious problem has arisen, that is, it is inconvenient for Xia Houyuan's scouts to go out of the city.

Because Li Yi's side is clearly unscrupulous, Xia Houyuan's scouts can only go around Li Yi's people when they can't conflict and don't want to piss themselves off. So, after a few days, Xia Houyuan's The patrol range of the scouts has been greatly compressed, but Xia Houyuan has no idea how far Li Yi's scouts can patrol.

Now Xia Houyuan can't figure out whether his strategy was successful and Li Yi really began to despise him, or whether Li Yi had seen through his strategy and took advantage of the situation to "bully" him, but no matter what, Xia Houyuan saw Li Yi. After the [-] army, no matter what the truth is, he will have to endure it for a long time to come.

On this day, Li Yi left the camp early in the morning with Xun You, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Gan Ning, and took a stroll around Cheng County with two hundred people. He didn't mean to hide his whereabouts, and even played Li Yi's banner on purpose, but Xia Houyuan didn't react at all, and even withdrew the scouts back to the city, looking very kind, which disappointed Li Yi very much.

Li Yi was not stupid and bold. He deliberately ran under Xia Houyuan's nose to see if he was lucky. In fact, after he came out, the rear camp had arranged to deal with it. If Xia Houyuan dared to send troops out to chase him, Li Yi would It is a good horse, Xia Houyuan and the others will never catch up. On the contrary, if Xia Houyuan dares to leave the city, he will never go back.

However, although Li Yi failed to lure Xia Houyuan out, he did not do nothing. Let the scouts who were familiar with the road lead him, and the group surveyed all the dangerous places around Chengxian County that were convenient for ambush. Prepare for the future.

Li Yi has been leading troops for a while, so he naturally knows the importance of terrain, and a general does not know where to ambush by looking at a map, because it is easy to be trapped there, not to mention ancient maps, even later generations. , If you want to benefit from the terrain during the war, the general must go to the scene to investigate in person.

Li Yi hit on a few places this trip, some for Xia Houyuan and some for Liu Bei.

After finishing the business, seeing that it was still early, Li Yi wanted to hunt some wild game and go back. However, after shooting a few arrows, Li Yi gave up. After all, the arrow missed, so he was embarrassed not to say it and let others flatter him. I didn't know how to shoot, so Li Yi gave Huang Zhong all his arrows and let him use them.

And Huang Zhong lived up to expectations. After Li Yi stopped doing anything, he decisively gave full play and collected a lot of prey in a short while. Moreover, knowing that Li Yi likes to eat venison, Huang Zhong even caught a live deer for him.

Looking at Huang Zhong who returned with a full load, Li Yi couldn't help admiring: "General Huang's arrow skills are really superb. Unfortunately, I have practiced for some time, but I really can't figure out the way. I'm afraid I won't succeed in this life."

Li Yi likes archery very much. After all, archery looks much more handsome than him throwing the "javelin", but he has no talent, so he can't do anything.

Huang Zhong clasped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord is a man of gold, who rules the army and governs the people, and manages all kinds of opportunities every day. I should let my subordinates do such rough things for me, otherwise we will lose the way of being a minister."

Li Yi laughed, and said to Gan Ning and Dian Wei beside him, "You two speak far less well than General Huang."

Gan Ning immediately cupped his hands and said: "My lord, don't worry, I will read a lot when I go back, and I will never slack off."

Later Xun You couldn't help coughing, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that the sage book has such a magical effect, and Xun You can be regarded as a long-sighted person, haha."

A few people were joking, when they suddenly saw a bodyguard rushing up to Li Yimin, before stopping, he said, "My lord, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were found not far ahead, there are more than 20 people, it seems to be a dispute among the common people! "

"what?"

Li Yi was a little nervous at first. When he saw the guards coming in a hurry, Li Yi thought that there was movement from Xia Houyuan's side, but he didn't think it was the person who discovered Liu Bei.

Li Yi is currently located in the west of Chengxian County. Although Li Yi also ordered Liu Bei to arrange patrols, he did not send him a mission here. The conflict made him even more puzzled.

Although later generations have mixed comments on Liu Bei, Li Yi personally feels that Liu Bei's character was very reliable before entering Yizhou.

Li Yi asked: "What's going on, please tell me in detail."

The guard replied: "The villain was in a distant realm. He heard the sound of quarreling in front of him, so he went to check and found that more than 20 soldiers surrounded a dozen girls. There were quarrels and molesting words in the voices." , It seems that someone was rude to those women, the villain saw that their clothes were Liu Bei's subordinates, so it was not easy to go up and scold them, so he came to report to the lord, and asked the lord to make a decision."

Originally, everyone looked relaxed, but after hearing the guard's words, all the smiles on their faces were restrained.

Among Li Yi's military laws, there are a few that are absolutely head-scratching.

For example, killing people indiscriminately and humiliating women.

If the subordinates are condoned to plunder, not only will the offending soldier lose his head, but the officer who gave the order will also be taken with him.

And after listening to what the guards said, whether it was Li Yi or Xun You, they all thought of a scene where a group of scouts were attracted to each other.

Li Yi said with a sullen face, "Follow me, if anyone dares to violate the military law, he will be killed directly!"

"Here!"

Everyone took orders, and then got on their horses together, let Shicai's personal guard lead the way, and the group ran forward.

Li Yi was not far from the place where the incident happened. Li Yi quickly saw the situation ahead. Because of the forest, Li Yi could see the movement ahead, but the people in front did not notice him.

When everyone was still going forward, Li Yi waved his hand to signal them not to worry.

Li Yi's eyesight is very good. Although it is far away, Li Yi can see clearly that the men in front are indeed Liu Bei's subordinates, and Zhang Fei is the leader!

A dozen or so girls gathered together, being watched by a group of soldiers, trembling, but one girl was separated out somehow, the girl looked very panicked, either wanted to escape, or wanted to be with her Those sisters stay together to report to the group to keep warm, but Zhang Fei is like a strange sorghum who is playing with an eagle and catching chickens. Wherever the little girl runs, he relies on his martial arts skills, fast action, and blocking her with his teeth and claws. In which direction, the frightened little girl screamed.

The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched, and his eyes were inexplicably hot. It doesn't matter whether this kind of thing is on Li Yi or Cao Cao. After all, it fits the human design, but Zhang Fei
