Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It is precisely because the temptation is too great that Zhang Liao and the others are not calm. However, Li Yi, who is the core of the matter, has a calm face, neither sad nor happy, just silent for a while, and then reaches out to help Huangfu Jianshou Got up, said: "What happened in Chang'an, so that brother Huangfu is like this?"

Huangfu Jianshou glanced at Li Yi, Li Yi's suddenly indifferent attitude made him uncomfortable, but he just pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, then he reached out and took off his coat, because it was made of coarse cloth, at first glance there was nothing special about it except thick and rough However, Huangfu Jianshou grabbed a corner and tore it forcefully, the clothes were torn apart, revealing a layer inside, in which there was a piece of thin silk.

Huangfu Jianshou carefully took out the thin silk, held it in both hands, choked with sobs and said: "Li Jue and Guo Si are the worst disaster, ten times better than Dong Zhuo, the emperor has been humiliated by it, but there is no one in Chang'an who can contend with him, Looking around the world, the only person who can save the emperor today is the Marquis Xiang. Therefore, the Son of Heaven summoned his ministers overnight to tell his grief, and then wrote a book in tears of blood. He ordered Jianshou to come to Yangzhou in disguise. Go north, protect the emperor, and kill Guo Li!"

Huangfu Jianshou's voice was very desolate, every word seemed to be crying, Li Yi felt very sad when he heard it, especially when he saw the bright red handwriting on the thin silk, he could imagine that the little emperor must have suffered a lot .

Sighing lightly, Li Yi took the thin silk and opened it. At the same time, Huangfu Jianshou also carefully explained the recent events in Chang'an for Li Yi. Li Yi listened silently, adding some of his own inferences, and soon, Li Yi had a more detailed outline of this matter in his mind.

At the beginning, the courtiers used Lv Bu to fight with Li and Guo, and at the same time attacked Lv Bu's military power, trying to completely control Lv Bu and treat them as a dog, but they messed up, Lv Bu left, and Chang'an completely fell into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si hands.

Li and Guo's mentality swelled sharply after they had an overview of the power, and the courtiers wanted to deal with them before, so the two resolutely launched revenge, killing many people, and let Chang'an enter another gloomy period after Dong Zhuo.

However, this period of confusion did not last too long, because many respected people came forward, such as Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, who all stood up to persuade the two of them, and the methods were more ingenious and euphemistic. Therefore, the two considered In the future, in order to avoid going down the old path of Dong Zhuo, he later restrained himself a lot. Chang'an gradually restored order, which also made the courtiers heave a sigh of relief. , unreasonable, it is really impossible to play.

According to Li Yi's conjecture, after Chang'an stabilized, it was almost time for Li and Guo to fight among themselves, but I don't know if it was because of the butterfly effect or what, although Li Guo did have signs of alienation, but before he really turned his face, he did It was another conflict with the courtiers.

When Dong Zhuo moved the capital, he took away all the money and food in the entire Gyeonggi area and stationed it in Chang'an. Therefore, although Chang'an was chaotic and the people's life was very hard, the people who really held the power in Chang'an were very rich. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would have It is impossible to support so many soldiers.

Later, there were several changes in Chang'an, and finally all the wealth fell into the hands of Li Jue and Guo Si. People don't care about production, and after being proud of the spring breeze, they spend all kinds of things recklessly. Therefore, the money and food hoarded by Dong Zhuo originally decreased like running water.

Li and Guo knew that they could gain power because of the soldiers and horses in their hands, so they began to save food, but the methods of these two guys were very simple and rude, either exploiting the people, or embezzling courtiers, and they made Chang'an for a while. There are complaints in the city, and the people suffer unspeakably.

However, although Li Guo's move aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, it did not touch the bottom line of the courtiers.

Because the big man still has loyal ministers like Tao Qian and Li Yi, they know that the emperor is not doing well, so they continue to pay tribute to Chang'an. Although the things they give are not too much, it is still not a problem to ensure the food and clothing of the emperor and the military officials. of.

It's just that the situation in the world changed too fast, and Cao Cao suddenly got involved with Tao Qian. Xuzhou was corrupted, and Tao Qian couldn't protect himself, so Xuzhou's tribute to the court was cut off. Although the war subsided later, Xuzhou soldiers and civilians were killed and injured in this battle. With several 10 people, Tao Qian has no spare energy to continue to support the court, so Li Yi is the only person in the world who can stably pay tribute to the court.

Probably because Li Yi has been paying tribute to the court, he was regarded as an honest person. The court was not polite to Li Yi at all. When Li Yi attacked Yangzhou, the court repeatedly reached out. Finally, in a rage, Li Yi cut off the supply to the court. , and then long press that side to catch the blind, up to the emperor, down to the hundreds of officials, all live a life of hunger and fullness.

Baiguan had no choice but to ask Li Jue and Guo Si for help. Li Jue and Guo Si would not really starve the emperor and Baiguan to death, but would it be easy to ask for something from them?

Moreover, Li Guo and others also understood the reason why Li Yi cut off the tribute, and they even sneered at the courtiers. It can be said that if the courtiers want to eat in one bite, they have to be slapped on the face first, which is more delicious. Humiliation is just as humiliating.

The proud courtiers were unwilling to endure Li Guo's humiliation every day, so they naturally wanted to seek change, and the best way to change the status quo was to seek foreign aid. However, only Li Yi and Yuan Shao were able to rescue the emperor. Today's word-of-mouth is no longer good, and Yuan Shao also planned to establish another emperor, so the courtiers set their target on Li Yi.

Although I just robbed Li Yi for food in Yangzhou, now I turned around and begged Li Yi, which seemed relatively unscrupulous, but morality can't be eaten as food, and it was the emperor who begged Li Yi, not the courtiers begging him, so , there was the arrival of Huangfu Jianshou.

This part was deduced by Li Yi himself. The little emperor is not very old yet. He was able to write a blood letter to ask for help. , What he did was actually a manifestation of the will of the military officials.

The blood book had been put away by Li Yi, and Huangfu Jianshou stopped talking at the right time, and then looked at Li Yi eagerly, for fear that Li Yi would reject the emperor's request.

Li Yi groaned and said nothing, just tapped a few words with one finger, the sound just rang three times, Wei Yan suddenly stood up, cupped his hands at Huangfu Jianshou and said: "The last general Wei Yan, there is one thing that is unclear. I hope the angel will solve the puzzle!"

Huangfu Jianshou did not expect that Li Yi's department would intervene at this critical moment. However, he is not a waste if he can take on this task, and he also did his homework on Li Yi's side before he came, and knew some situations, so he did not Putting on airs, he got up and returned the salute: "It turned out that it was General Wei Changwei who helped the Marquis outsmart Jingnan and first entered Shouchun. Disrespect, disrespect."

Wei Yan was naturally very happy to be known by the envoy of the Son of Heaven and praised him generously, but he knew very well that all these honors of his were inseparable from Li Yi, so instead of being polite with Huangfu, he asked directly: "Dare to ask the angels, my lord conquered the ministers for the son of heaven and attacked Yangzhou. As long as my lord's long sword was directed, all the soldiers of the army stepped forward bravely and fought to the death. There were several bloody battles, and no one was afraid. It is easy to break the city, and the angels know why?"

Huangfu Jianshou could clearly feel the unkindness in Wei Yan's tone at this time, but he still forced a smile and said: "Naturally, the Marquis Xiang is able to govern the army well, and the soldiers are capable."

Before Huangfu Jianshou finished speaking, Wei Yan shook his head and interrupted: "The angel's words are wrong. The soldiers under my lord's command dare to fight and win every battle. It is because my lord is not stingy with rewards, and what he says will be followed!"

The corners of Huangfu Jianshou's eyes twitched, Wei Yan's words were very truthful, but such blunt words really made him a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Wei Yan raised his voice, he continued: "To tell you the truth, before my master entered Yangzhou, I said that as long as Wu County was defeated, I would be the prefect of Wu County. However, my army has not yet entered Wu County, and the court So he appointed a prefect of Wu County, and took away the post of prefect from Wei, dare to ask the angel, what is the reason for this?"

"This"

The corner of Huangfu Jianshou's mouth twitched violently, because Wei Yan's speech was really outrageous.

How the imperial court appoints officials is a matter for the imperial court. Not to mention that Wei Yan was not the prefect at that time, even if he was, he would not have to give any reason to him, but he actually said that the imperial court took his position as prefect, which is simply unreasonable!

If it was decades earlier, based on Wei Yan's words, ten heads would not be enough to cut off.

However, even though he was extremely angry in his heart, Huangfu Jianshou still endured it.

There is no way, what can he do now that the world is enduring?

Huangfu Jianshou glanced at Li Yi. He was more concerned about whether Wei Yan's words were his own or Li Yi's.

Or, has Li Yi already developed a disobedience, or is it true that Li Yi was irritated by the methods of the court officials, and Wei Yan's statement was just Li Yi's complaint?

In addition, Huangfu Jianshou was still a little puzzled, and Li Yi's attitude was very strange, as if he knew the purpose of his visit long ago.

Huangfu Jianshou couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only look at Wei Yan again. When he explained the changes in Chang'an to Li Yi before, he had tried his best to downplay the previous appointments of Yangzhou officials, but when Wei Yan said it so bluntly, he It cannot be avoided.

With a light cough, Huangfu Jianshou forced a smile and said: "General Wei is happy and angry. Regarding the prefect of Wu County, the imperial court did not know that Marquis Xiang had other arrangements. It is not enough to manage the place, and for the consideration of the Marquis of Xiang, this is why the court deliberately recruited officials and ministers from various places to serve as the Marquis of Xiang, alas, if it had been known that Marquis Xiang's subordinates are all such heroes, why would the court bother?"

Wei Yan's eyes widened slightly. At first he couldn't bear to challenge Huangfu Jianshou, but now he has realized that in terms of shamelessness, he is inferior to others. He is obviously trying to grab a position in Yangzhou, but now he has the nerve to say yes help?

This method of turning black and white is really powerful!

However, Wei Yan is not a vegetarian either. He rolled his eyes, and immediately said with surprise on his face: "The angel said just now that he was driven by my lord. My lord is the shepherd of Jingzhou, and now the officials of Yangzhou are driven by my lord. Angel, dare to ask which one?" But what's the meaning?"

Chapter 582 Welcome the Son of Heaven to Jingzhou

"deep meaning"

At this moment, Huangfu Jianshou felt as if his head had been slapped, and he couldn't even pretend to laugh.

If Wei Yan's complaint before might have been an expression of personal dissatisfaction, then just now, if Huangfu Jianshou could not confirm that it was Li Yi's order, he would not be qualified to be an envoy.

What's more, this situation is also within his expectations.

Huangfu Jianshou did not agree with the courtiers' move to carve up Yangzhou, but he did not deny the views of those courtiers, he just felt that those people's actions were too rough, too ignorant of Li Yi's feelings, and it was easy to be self-defeating .

After all, Yuan Shu dared to be king if he occupied all of Yangzhou. If Li Yi occupied all of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, even if he didn't want to rebel, this situation itself was unacceptable to the court.

Now, the situation that Huangfu Jianshou is most worried about has happened. Whether it is Li Yi's original intentions or because the court officials are forcing you to be annoying, in short, Li Yi has now made it clear that he wants Jingyang and Yangzhou. Taking advantage of an accident in Chang'an, when the imperial court was unable to protect itself, it launched an attack.

Moreover, Huangfu Jianshou also came to a conclusion, that is, Li Yi must have known the news of his arrival in advance, and today's layout is a very good proof.

This matter is simple to say, but it is very terrifying when you think about it, which means that the person with the most say in the court secretly helped Li Yi, which is very serious.

Huangfu Jianshou didn't know it, but he was worrying unnecessarily, because it was not a big man in the court who told Li Yi the news, but a great god surnamed Luo.

Shaking his head, Huangfu Jianshou sorted out all kinds of problems again. He already knew Li Yi's appetite, which made him very dissatisfied. However, after recovering, Huangfu Jianshou found that he had to continue to beg Li Yi. .

Because compared to the other princes in the world, Li Yi is relatively reliable. In order to get the emperor out of danger, Li Yi is still the first choice for help.

After a long time, Huangfu Jianshou took a deep breath, as if completely unaware of the unkindness in Wei Yan's tone, he smiled again and said, "General Wei Yan is just joking, Jianshou is here to ask the Marquis of Xiang to send troops to rescue the Son of Heaven. As for the deep meaning or not, Jianshou is just a small envoy, he doesn't understand, and he can't bear it."

At this time, although Huangfu Jianshou's tone was relaxed, his aura has been completely suppressed, and he has changed from an envoy of the emperor to a person who simply came to ask for help. Seeing this, Wei Yan shook his head and snorted: "It seems that this prefect position There is no part for Wei."

Wei Yan sat back after speaking, and the rest of Dian Wei and the others were also humming in a strange way, making Huangfu Jianshou stand there with a change of expression, looking very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Yi didn't want to push Huangfu Jianshou to a dead end. Seeing that he was about to shed tears, he gestured to the side, and Lu Su stood up and smiled: "Why do you generals do this? With your lord being wise What's the point of being a prefect? ​​And the angels don't need to worry, after all, the Son of Heaven won't be in danger for a while, and I don't know how the lord thinks about this matter, right? Is it?"
