Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi held Lu Su back with a smile, stopped him from prostrating, and said, "Since you need to go to Kuaiji, why don't you take care of the Qi family and Xie family, otherwise it's just If I invite Yu Fan to the door, other people may think that I deliberately despise them, so this kind of thing needs to be leveled on the surface."

Lu Su hurriedly echoed, "My lord's words are true!"

Li Yi nodded, and began to wonder if there was anything else to disclose, but Lu Su said, "My lord, there is one more thing that can be arranged together."

Li Yi asked, "What else?"

Lu Su chuckled and said, "It's the marriage that I mentioned at the beginning!"

Li Yi paused, feeling a little agitated, but still said in a steady tone: "I was so busy talking about Na Yufan before, but I forgot about it. Tell me more about it."

Lu Su replied: "Among the three families in Kuaiji, although Yu Fan is the most talented, when it comes to family status, the Xie family is the most powerful. The Xie family is the head of the three families, so the subordinates think that the lord should marry the Xie family. "

After a pause, Lu Su carefully explained for Li Yi: "Besides Xie Cheng, Xie Yi also has a daughter, Xie Cheng's sister, who is just about to marry, because the children of the same generation in the local family are either married or mediocre, so It's been delayed until now."

"The daughter of the Xie family, it is impossible for ordinary people to accept her as a concubine, but the lord is different. The lord has a military strategy, dominates the land of two states, and is powerful in the world. Even if she is accepted as a concubine, the Xie family is willing to come if they want, so , this subordinate asks for orders to facilitate this marriage for the lord."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he bowed to Li Yi and waited for his order, but Li Yi looked at Lu Su. He really wanted to hear what Lu Su said about the appearance of the girl from the Xie family, but Lu Su seemed to be indifferent in this respect. He still couldn't fully comprehend Li Yi's thoughts, but bowed again, waiting for Li Yi to give him a mission.

Lu Su was like this, Li Yi really couldn't bear to ask how his parents were doing, helpless, Li Yi pondered for a while, weighed his beauty and territory, nodded and said: "Okay, just as Zijing said, but this Don't be too hasty about the matter, and arrange it carefully after the matter of Sun Ce is over, in short, you can't lose courtesy."

"Well, this subordinate knows!"

Lu Su received the order, and then couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The land of Yangzhou, Yuzhang and Jiujiang have always been stable, only Kuaiji is far away and not very peaceful. I am afraid that there are many young people like Zheng Bao, but as long as this time Things are going well, the lord has the support and assistance of the Kuaiji family, and some clowns can't make trouble at all. In this way, the lord will send his troops to the north in the future, and there will be no worries about the rear. "

Hearing Lu Su's sonorous and forceful voice, Li Yi stretched out his hand and patted him heavily on the shoulder twice, and said in a deep voice, "To achieve great things in the future, Li Yi will never forget Zijing's words today!"

The aftermath of Zhengjiabao was not troublesome. Under the management of Wei Yan and Lu Su, these things were over on the same day. However, Li Yi's army still stayed in Zhengjiabao for two days before continuing to march south.

During these two days, Li Yi asked Wei Yan to pick and choose those unlucky people who followed Zheng Bao, and formed a "siege team" of about 3000 people. When Wan County faced Sun Ce, let these people go first , Consume Sun Ce's energy, and when Sun Ce is exhausted, Li Yi will dispatch his direct descendants.

For such an arrangement, although those unlucky people were depressed, no one dared to protest, because hundreds of heads of the Zheng family were hanging on the earthen wall. From the perspective of the Zheng family, they managed to save their lives, so why complain?

What's more, Li Yi is now well versed in the way of imperial servants, and he doesn't just squeeze these unlucky ones, at least he hasn't skimped on food. After two days, many people have found happiness by relying on food alone Therefore, some people even beat their chests and stamped their feet, regretting the mysterious choice of following Zheng Bao rather than Li Yi.

Because those unlucky people accepted the reality, and there were no dangerous cities on Li Yi's marching route, so this journey was very comfortable. The only thing that Li Yi could remember was that he was afraid that something would happen to Xu Huang.

However, it turns out that Li Yi was overwhelmed. Now Li Yi and Sun Ce are far apart in strength. Under such circumstances, there are not many people who still insist on allegiance to Sun Ce.

Therefore, although there were many cities in the middle of Xu Huang's journey, when they saw Li Yi's army coming, all of those cities opened their doors and surrendered, offering wine, meat, rice and food, trying their best to please, which also made Xu Huang's march faster than expected is much faster.

A few days later, Li Yi's army went down the Wan River and camped in an open area facing the river more than 100 miles away from Wan County.

In the temporary big tent, Li Yi held two letters that had just been delivered, and smiled as he read them.

Juchao surrendered without a fight, and has been taken over by Xu Huang. So far, only the last city of Wan County in Lujiang County is still under Li Yi's control.

Xu Huang told Li Yi that in two days he could join forces with Li Yi, and then send troops to Wan County.

In addition, there was also news from Zhang Liao that he would be able to join Li Yi tomorrow evening at the earliest, which was faster than Xu Huang.

Speaking of Zhang Liao, Li Yi missed him very much. Since Zhang Liao was arranged in Jiangxia, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Putting down the letter, Li Yi said to Lu Su who was helping him sort out the public affairs: "Tomorrow Yuan will come here to join the army. The distance is my humerus. General talent is on par with Gongming. From now on, you two need to get closer." yes."

Lu Su put down the book in his hand, nodded and said: "In the battle outside Jingzhou City, General Zhang broke through Yuan Shu's camp, beheaded Zhang Xun, and captured Ji Ling. His subordinates certainly admire him very much."

Li Yi smiled, stretched again, stood up and greeted him: "Combine work and rest, let's go, Zijing will go out with me to make an inspection or two. Although this place is more than a hundred miles away from Wan County, Sun Ce is not easy to be with. , maybe he will take a slanted sword and stare at my camp, although I am not afraid of him, but I can't afford to lose that person."

Chapter 575

"Lord!"

"The lord is here!"

"I'm waiting to meet the lord!"

As a big shot, Li Yi wandered around in his family's barracks, naturally attracting people's attention no matter where he went. Li Yi is more confident. He thinks that everyone should respect and worship him from the bottom of their hearts.

At least [-]% to [-]% are sincere!

As a guy with little integrity, Li Yi enjoyed the process very much, and he didn't feel tired. He walked around and greeted every soldier he met, fully showing his closeness to the people.

And Li Yi didn't forget to express his condolences to the unlucky guys from Zhengjiabao, and poured some chicken soup for them, so as not to let them lose confidence in their future life, and let them know that as long as they work hard, the road ahead is still open And it is bright, it can honor the ancestors

Dian Wei and Lu Su, a bodyguard and a secretary, naturally stayed by Li Yi's side the whole time. Dian Wei didn't care, he had seen Li Yi's performances a long time ago, but Lu Su, a newcomer, had sparkling eyes. Li Yi's performance was full of admiration.

From Lu Su's point of view, although Li Yi didn't have the common method of sharing joys and sorrows that generals used, let alone sucking drugs and sucking pus, Li Yi cared for the soldiers to the extreme from another angle.

And Lu Su also knew that the chicken soup that Li Yi talked about was not a big cake, but a real benefit that could be obtained.

As long as the officers and soldiers below perform well, Li Yi will not only promote them to official positions, but also give them the opportunity to "advanced" their ears, so that those big bosses can get to read and write, and even have the opportunity to be taught by famous teachers like Cai Yong and Huang Chengyan, so that Really change their fate of facing the loess and back to the sky, and become masters.

Based on this alone, Lu Su felt that it was their luck that these sergeants could work hard for Li Yi.

Li Yi patrolled around the camp, and told all the generals he had ordered. After he felt that there were no omissions, the sky had turned dark, and it was time for the soldiers in the camp to eat, but Li Yi thought that Yangzhou was about to be completely destroyed. After recovering, the interest was relatively high, so he ordered people to hunt a few fat fish in the river, lit a bonfire on the bank, and called some key generals in the army to share the food together, and talked about the army or the future in the middle. Also cozy.

It's just because of this, it was relatively late when everyone dispersed. After Li Yi went back, he drank a few more glasses of Tusu wine specially made for him by Hua Tuo. He was groggy, and soon fell asleep. Then, the whole The military camp was also completely silent under the dark night.

However, Li Yi who fell asleep did not know that a murderous intent was slowly approaching him along the river under the cover of night

On the opposite bank of Li Yi's camp, there is a river bank that looks completely covered with various shrubs and weeds during the day. Looking at it now, those shrubs and weeds have already been pushed aside and appeared on the river bank. There are only neatly stacked boats, and there are so many sergeants that the exact number cannot be seen clearly.

And the young man standing in front of these sergeants, whose majestic figure could not be concealed even in the dark, was none other than Sun Ce and Sun Bofu!

If Li Yi sees Sun Ce here, he will definitely be surprised, because Li Yi has spies in Wan County. According to the news Li Yi got, Sun Ce has been staying in the city, and what he does is to appease the army and consolidate the city defense. There is no sign of the army leaving the city, let alone so many ships that can be prepared.

When Li Yi set up the camp, he told his subordinates to strengthen their defenses. Although he said it was very serious, what he was worried about was that Sun Ce would send a small group of surprise soldiers to make trouble, and he basically didn't consider the situation that Sun Ce himself would appear with a large group of troops.

Sun Ce looked at the river in front of him, his face was a little flushed, he was excited.

Cheng Pu and Huang Gai, who were standing beside Sun Ce, reacted similarly to Sun Ce, even a little happy.

The surprise attack tonight was not caused by Sun Ce on a whim, but was planned and arranged long before Li Yi left Shouchun.

As the son of the Tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord, is not just a cat or a dog. Although the current situation is fundamentally doomed to Sun Ce, Sun Ce will not be willing to lead him to death because of this. Similarly, he is not as everyone expected. In that way, stick to Wan County.

Because Sun Ce knew that under the premise that Li Yi had an absolute advantage, sticking to it would be like jumping into the coffin and waiting for Li Yi to fill him with soil, and it would be better to wipe his neck directly.

Therefore, Sun Ce deduced the situation, and finally believed that the only chance to make a comeback was to take advantage of Li Yi's unstable foothold to launch a surprise attack when Li Yi marched to Wan County, and kill Li Yi in one fell swoop.

Li Yi is not from a family, and now he has no heirs, and even his relatives are not heard of. Then, as long as Li Yi himself dies, those people under Li Yi will have to fall apart, and even fight for the rights left by Li Yi. Fighting each other, Sun Ce's crisis was naturally resolved. Even if someone insisted on avenging Li Yi, without Li Yi, why would Sun Ce be afraid?

However, it is easy to formulate a surprise attack strategy, but it is not easy to implement this strategy.

First of all, Sun Ce had to determine the route that Li Yi might take to send troops. At first, Sun Ce judged that Li Yi would definitely send a pair of troops from Liyang, which is Xu Huang's current route, to attack the city all the way, and finally to Wan County .

As for whether Li Yi will divide his troops, Sun Ce can't be sure, but soon, Sun Ce heard the news that Zheng Bao had killed Li Yi's soldiers. Judging that Li Yi himself will inevitably go south from Hefei.
