Dragon of the Three Kingdoms
Page 701
Li Yi beckoned Lu Su to approach, and whispered something into his ear. Although Lu Su looked surprised, he immediately nodded repeatedly, and when Li Yi finished explaining, he called the general to make arrangements.
About half an hour later, more than 20 small boats were launched one after another, each carrying a dozen soldiers who were proficient in water skills, crossed the reed marshes, and slowly walked to the depths of the water.
When those small boats were far away, Li Yi separated several teams and rode along the lakeshore with igniting arrows. While walking, he kept firing rockets into the reeds. In a short time, the reeds that stretched for more than ten miles ignited raging fires. The flames floated on the surface of the lake, swaying up tens of feet, and straight into the sky, which is truly spectacular.
As for whether Zheng Bao was hiding in the reed marshes or not, there were a lot of wild ducks and birds hiding in it. Once a big fire started, the inside would immediately explode, and chickens would fly everywhere, which could be called a crime.
However, Li Yi, who committed crimes, did not feel much guilt. He would not dare to set fire to the mountain, but burning a handful of reeds on the lake would not have too much impact.
After watching the fire for a while, Li Yi set up a chessboard tens of feet away from the lake, playing chess with Dian Wei, while Lu Su roasted a big goose that was unlucky to bump into.
According to Li Yi's words, this is an ordinary person doing elegant things, and an elegant person doing ordinary things is conducive to the cultivation of mind.
Lu Su felt that Li Yi's words made sense, and he worked very hard on the barbecue, but he didn't know that Li Yi actually disliked his high chess skills. How could he have fun with Dian Wei, a stinky chess basket?
For a while, on both sides of the lakeshore, there was a raging fire, while drinking and having fun, the contrast was particularly sharp.
Because the fire was on the reeds and it was on the water, the fire came and went quickly. In less than an hour, the main fires basically stopped, and only some sporadic places in the distance were still burning. It won't take long to completely extinguish it.
At this time, the chess game between Li Yi and Dian Wei was over, and the three of them were sharing the fruits of Lu Su's labor. Suddenly, they heard soldiers shouting from the bank. Li Yi got up and looked around, and saw that the boat he had sent out before had begun to turn back, which was faintly visible. , and one more passenger ship with a canopy.
Lu Su immediately congratulated Li Yi and said, "My lord is so clever, I admire him!"
Li Yi smiled, and didn't feel very proud. He did it casually. It's good if he succeeds. It doesn't matter if he doesn't. Anyway, Zheng Bao is not a big shot. Maybe Li Yi won't remember when he was decisive. This person is gone.
Soon the fleet docked, and I saw Qu Chang, the leader of the team, rushing to Li Yi pressing a few tied men with excitement on his face, bowed and said: "My lord, the villain has fulfilled his mission, Zheng Bao and other thieves are indeed I hid in the reeds and peeped. After the fire broke out, I ran away in a hurry. We found it and surrounded it. Because the thief was fierce and refused to surrender, we fought with him. Except for three people who fell into the water and disappeared, the other nine people were captured alive. Therefore, I also ask the lord to let me go!"
Li Yi nodded in satisfaction, and said approvingly: "Very good, Zijing, remember to give credit to them!"
"Thank you my lord!"
Naqu Chang's face burst into a smile, but he didn't forget the business because he was proud, and immediately pressed a man in front of Li Yi, saying: "My lord, this man is Zheng Bao, the leader of the thief!"
Li Yi glanced at Zheng Bao and found that this man was tall and strong. Although he looked embarrassed, he neither trembled nor begged for mercy, giving the impression that he was a hero.
"Make him look up!"
Hearing the order, Chief Naqu grabbed Zheng Bao's back collar and told him to stand up straight. Li Yi was about to see Zheng Bao's face clearly, but Zheng Bao spat at Li Yi with a mouthful of bloody phlegm. Fortunately, Li Yi reacted quickly, so he hurried Take a step away, and you won't get hit.
"Bold!"
Seeing this, Dian Wei and others scolded and even beat Zheng Bao, but Li Yi raised his hand to stop them, and then looked at Zheng Bao again. Let's not talk about his appearance, but his bloodshot eyes It looked like a wolf who chose to eat people, which made Li Yi very uncomfortable.
Li Yi asked: "Looking at your look, you should know that the people of the clan have been slaughtered by me, right?"
Zheng Bao stiffened his neck and scolded in a hissed voice: "Li Yi! If you destroy my clan today, you will definitely die in the future!"
Dian Wei and the others were furious again, and Naqu Zhang even secretly laid a black hand and strangled Zheng Bao's neck tightly. Yi, as if he could stare at him to death.
Li Yi didn't care about Zheng Bao's rudeness. He took a closer look at this person, and then asked: "I heard that when Yuan Shu was in charge of Yangzhou, you started secretly recruiting troops, accumulating strength, and intending to cause chaos. If I hadn't led the troops Arriving, you may have flagrantly raised your flag by now, haven't you?"
"What is it, what is it not!"
Zheng Bao knew that he was going to die, even his family was wiped out, so he had nothing to worry about, and he was not polite to Li Yi in words.
Li Yi was clueless, and continued to ask: "But I don't understand. I have [-] elites under my command. Looking around the world, only Chang'an Li Jue and Guo Si, Hebei Yuan Shao and I can fight, but you are just a few Thousands of young and strong, untrained, with only a hundred armors, it is extremely simple, but even so, not only did you not consider surrendering, but you dared to kill my soldiers. I don’t understand. Didn’t you think about it at the time? Will it bring disaster on itself?"
After Li Yi said, everyone present looked at Zheng Bao, because not only Li Yi wanted to know this question, but Lu Su and Dian Wei were also curious.
Because Zheng Bao is obviously not an idiot, he has good vision and means, and even Lu Su almost became his younger brother. If this person joins Li Yi, he will do a good job. The problem, but he didn't choose this sunny avenue, but chose to fight against Li Yi when Li Yi was the most powerful and in the limelight, which is really incomprehensible.
Zheng Bao didn't seem to expect that Li Yi would ask this question, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud with mockery in it, until the Qu Chang strangled him severely, then coughed twice, and then He glanced at Li Yi with disdain, and then shouted loudly: "The world is in chaos, and all people of insight know that the Han Dynasty is about to perish. The heroes of our generation should ride the wind and do a great job. Why not fight for the ninth-five position!"
Zheng Bao's voice was loud and resonant, and he sounded quite majestic. If he hadn't been tied up, maybe someone would have regarded him as that hero, or even a younger brother who would be attracted to him.
Naturally, Li Yi and others would not worship him, but everyone present was shocked by Zheng Bao's words.
Since Li Yi embarked on an official career, he has met many people. Naturally, there are many ambitious people like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu who want to be emperors. Although these people have great ambitions, they are still relatively reserved on the surface. And although these two people both failed in the end, it is undeniable that whether it is Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shu, they all have the strength to match their ambitions and have the possibility of reaching the top.
But what is this Zheng Bao, a slightly more powerful country landlord, who dares to utter such "rhetoric words"?
Moreover, the Emperor of the Great Han is still alive. Although there are already many people who are not optimistic about the Han Dynasty, there is still the most basic awe and respect. not go down.
Seeing that everyone was shocked by his words, Zheng Bao laughed, and the expression in his bloodshot eyes became more and more crazy, and he shouted: "Li Yi, although I have a bad background, I am not as good as Yuan Shu, but I am ten times better than you. How could I not be able to follow Dong Zhuo’s example and take advantage of the chaos! There are some things you can do, but I can’t do them!”
Seeing that Zheng Bao's words became more and more outrageous, Lu Su couldn't help but scolded: "Bold, the merits of the Marquis Xiang are actually comparable to you, a thief!"
Zheng Bao gave Lu Su a disdainful look, and said with a sneer, "What kind of merit is it? It's just a conspiracy. Dog meat won't go to the banquet!"
"Li Yi! You should be lucky. If you arrive in Yangzhou half a year late, I will definitely contact Lu Kang to guard the Lujiang River and wait for the opportunity to replace him. Then I will win the Yuzhang, go to Kuaiji, and return to the teacher to compete with Yuan Shu after being stable. In the end, even if I can't go north to become the world Lord, you should also be able to stick to Jiangdong and separate one side, but unfortunately, it is not because I am not as good as you, but the sky does not help me, and my luck is a little bit bad, which makes you crazy!"
Zheng Bao looked at Li Yi with a proud face. He was clearly reduced to a prisoner and his life was at stake, but he suddenly found a sense of superiority in this situation.
Standing beside Li Yi were Dian Wei and Lu Su. Dian Wei was stupid and couldn't think of a suitable word to reprimand Zheng Bao. He could only hold the handle of the knife tightly, waiting for Li Yi to give an order, and he was about to chop up this innocent man. Rites.
Lu Su has a lot of words that can attack Zheng Bao in turn, but Zheng Bao's words are always tyrannical, even though Lu Su is eloquent, but on this sensitive issue, he is a courtier, and Li Yi does not express his opinion. He really didn't dare to speak easily.
Li Yi looked at Zheng Bao, frowning at first, feeling angry in his heart, but as Zheng Bao said more and more, and it became more and more unpleasant, his brows gradually loosened, and his gaze at Zheng Bao also changed from before. This look of pity for talents gradually turned into pity for poor people, which made Zheng Bao feel uncomfortable.
After a long time, Li Yi sighed leisurely, and said slowly: "I don't know why, it turned out to be because of my background, it really disappointed me!"
Zheng Bao felt that Li Yi's gaze was humiliating him, and immediately retorted: "Isn't it!"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "I thought you were a talent, with vision and means. If you were more responsible, you shouldn't have too many problems as a county magistrate. However, you are too ambitious and have a bad temper, so you can't face up to each other. After all, it’s just a joke, I considered you highly before.”
After all, the contempt in Li Yi's eyes became more and more obvious, Zheng Bao was ashamed and angry, and what more to say, Li Yi made a gesture, and Naqu Chang pressed his head heavily on the ground, and then Li Yi said coldly: " This person speaks disrespectfully to me, and you will deal with it yourself!"
Chapter 572
"Here, please rest assured, my lord!"
Hearing Li Yi's order, Dian Wei claimed yes, but his eyes were full of coldness. He squinted at Zheng Bao, and decided to deal with Zheng Bao in a while, and he must not be allowed to die easily.
When Zheng Bao heard that Li Yi was going to torture him, he thought that Li Yi's move was not done by a real man, and wanted to scold him, but the Qu Chang behind him had been staring at him, and suddenly pushed down hard, Zheng Bao was caught off guard. After eating a mouthful of mud, he could only whine, but could not utter a word.
Zheng Bao's matter is considered to be over here. At the end, Li Yi didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned around and walked back on his own, without greeting others, because his mood was not what it seemed on the surface. calm.
For Li Yi, what happened to Zheng Bao was accidental, but it was inevitable to a certain extent.
Don't look at Li Yi's disdain for Zheng Bao when he spoke at the end, but in fact, Li Yi has carefully thought about many of Zheng Bao's words and kept them in his heart.
For example, on the issue of Li Yi's background, although what Zheng Bao said was one-sided, it was not wrong.
At the beginning, Li Yi joined Dong Zhuo in Luoyang, and it was very popular for a while, but in fact, only Dong Zhuo and Li Ru admired him, but few others looked at him seriously. This is of course a problem with Li Yi's camp. But it also has a lot to do with his background, otherwise Fu Wanneng would be thinking about retiring the engagement?
Fortunately, Li Yi killed Hua Xiong before entering Chang'an, and established himself as a loyal minister. If he didn't know the truth about this matter, Li Yi felt that even if he killed Dong Zhuo and became a hero, he would be punished by courtiers who lost his shackles. None of the bones they ate were left.
Later, Li Yi became more and more powerful, and these auras gradually covered up his identity problem. No one dared to despise him anymore. Li Yi once thought that as long as he developed steadily like this, it would be fine, but Zheng Bao's words made him Li Yi woke up suddenly, and things were not as simple as he thought.
