Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Huangfu Jianshou was shocked when he heard the words, and he finally remembered that Wei Yan and the others were secondary, and Li Yi was the real caller. As long as Li Yi nodded, everything would be easy to handle.

Moreover, Huangfu Jianshou felt that Li Yi had a big appetite, but he is also a smart person, and it is impossible to do this matter. Yuan Shu is a lesson from the past. If Li Yi really doesn't give the emperor any face, and Li Yi has no Yuan If he loses the support of his family in the future, even though he is powerful today, he may collapse, and his ending will definitely be more bleak than Yuan Shu.

Aware of Huangfu Jianshou's gaze, Li Yi finally recovered from the previous state of "wandering away", waved to Huangfu Jianshou, and said with a smile: "What does Huangfu stand all the time? Let's sit down and talk, don't be so nervous."

Huangfu Jianshou smiled wryly in his heart. Wasn't it all the result of Li Yi's arrangement that he was so nervous?

"Thank you, Marquis Xiang."

Although he slandered, Huangfu Jianshou sat down beside Li Yi obediently, and after pondering for a while, he said softly, "I wonder how Marquis Xiang thinks about sending troops?"

Li Yi pursed his lips, and said with some embarrassment: "The emperor is in trouble. As a subject, Li Yi is naturally obliged to do so. But, has the angel experienced my difficulties?"

There was a secret passage, and Huangfu Jianshou cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know what's embarrassing for Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi heheed, took Huangfu Jianshou's hand and said, "Yi Neng was granted the title of Jingzhou Shepherd. Apart from the emperor, there are three other people for this matter. Yi is also very grateful."

Hearing these words suddenly, it seemed a bit far-fetched, but Huangfu Jianshou immediately thought of what Li Yi was referring to, and then secretly groaned in his heart.

I saw Li Yi said leisurely: "Old General Huangfu and my father-in-law needn't say much. At that time, all the military officials in the court thought that Li was not talented enough, his qualifications were shallow, and he was not enough to succeed, but except for the two elders In addition, General Li Jue also came out to speak out and helped me ascend to the position of state shepherd. Alas, Li Yi came from a poor family, and General Li Jue was not related to me, but he was willing to offend Man Chaowu to stand up for me. It can be said that it is not serious, but now Brother Huangfu invites me to raise troops to attack the benefactor of the past, this makes me feel unbearable, the world will not call me ungrateful?"

Huangfu Jianshou immediately became impatient, and said loudly: "Mr. Xiang, do you want to abolish the public for private reasons?"

Huangfu Jianshou spoke anxiously, but his heart was completely speechless.

He naturally knew about the relationship between Li Yi and Li Jue. At the beginning when Li Yi helped Li Yi speak, it was indeed beyond everyone's expectations. At that time, the courtiers were worried that Li Yi and Li Jue would wear a pair of trousers, for fear that they would collude internally and externally, so Afterwards, I went to check it out. It didn’t matter. It turned out that Li Yi bought Li Jue with money. This operation was very speechless and familiar, but everyone was finally relieved, and slowly Forget about it.

But Huangfu Jianshou didn't expect that after so long, Li Yi could actually use this matter as an excuse. At this moment, he felt in his heart that Li Yi was really shameless.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes, feeling a little unhappy. It has been a long time since no one dared to speak to him loudly, but he didn't get angry, but shook his head and said: "Li has always been loyal and righteous, so naturally he dare not abolish the public for personal reasons, but It is not easy for me to face my benefactor with swords and swords."

Huangfu's firm nostrils continued to puff air out. Isn't what Li Yi said just a corner to get more benefits?

However, this is not the only reason Li Yi said.

I saw Li Yi holding his fingers, and continued: "Brother Huangfu, to tell the truth, Li first helped Xuzhou fight against Cao Cao, and then sent troops to attack Yangzhou. More than 200 soldiers were lost, and more than [-] million shi of food and grass were consumed. Now the barn is empty. After the war, the people of Yangzhou were waiting to be fed. Dare to ask the angel, if Li Mou sent troops to Chang'an, the food consumption would be millions of shi, where did the food come from, not only the imperial court might send it?"

"This"

Embarrassment appeared on Huangfu Jianshou's face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Jingzhou has always been rich, so there is no food left?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Jingzhou is not peaceful either. Yuan Shu invaded, Jingnan rebelled, and there were two wars. Jingzhou was also hurt, and the people of Jingzhou are the crime of the world. If the last bit of food is taken out, once If something happens, the great man will be in danger."

Huangfu Jianshou couldn't help clenching his fists. He knew that there were too many falsehoods in Li Yi's words.

When Li Yi went to Xuzhou, the grain was all given by Xuzhou, and when Li Yi fought Yangzhou, he collected grain on the spot in Yangzhou. In the last two wars, Jingzhou hardly produced a stone of grain. Therefore, Jingzhou’s Although the food is not as good as it was in its heyday, it will definitely not be too little. In Huangfu Jianshou's view, it can definitely support Li Yi's troops to Chang'an.

In the end, Li Yi just didn't want to help.

However, Li Yi is still going on

"This time I will fight with Jingzhou's elite. It has been a year since they left their hometown. Brother Huangfu also knows about military affairs. After several battles, the army's morale is already exhausted. If I continue to lead them to fight to Chang'an, Brother Huangfu thinks that's the case. Forcibly tending to the soldiers, can the soldiers not complain in their hearts, and Chang'an is not Yangzhou, that is where the angels are, even if everything goes well, what will I use to reward the soldiers in the future?"

As soon as Huangfu Jianshou was about to open his mouth, Li Yi interrupted him and said: "For the soldiers below, it is not feasible to talk about the Son of Heaven and righteousness with them. There must be real benefits. I haven't managed the people much, so the people's hearts, brother Huangfu should be clearer than me in this regard."

Huangfu Jianshou's mouth moved, but it was like a stick in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Huangfu Jianshou could still say that Li Yi was irrational in the previous reason, but the last point, although it doesn't sound good, is quite real.

Many generals lead troops to plunder after winning a battle. Although they don't slaughter cities and people, looting is indispensable, because it can boost morale, benefit the soldiers, and make them want to fight.

And this time to rescue the emperor, it is obviously impossible to give the soldiers this opportunity.

However, Huangfu Jianshou was very contradictory in his heart. Naturally, the emperor was the most important thing in his heart. Even if he should risk everything, but for a "real" person like Li Yi, he was completely unable to use righteousness to force Li Yi to send troops. .

If you change the messenger, you may have given up at this time, but Huangfu Jianshou was not reconciled, looked up at Li Yi, and asked again: "Listening to what the Marquis Xiang said, there is something difficult, but if you wait until the spring of the next year, May the Marquis of Xiang send troops?"

"Ok?"

Li Yi snorted softly, a little confused.

In his opinion, Huangfu Jianshou should either show his cards or give up altogether after he said so many "difficulties", but he actually pushed back the time.

What does this mean?

It means that although the little emperor is in dire straits, he is not starving to death yet.

Thinking of this, Li Yi's heart moved, and he said with some hesitation: "After all, the coming year is a matter of the coming year. As Yi is the lord of a state, how can he make a judgment on such a big event?"

Huangfu Jianshou exhaled, he knew that Li Yi would not stalk a hawk if he didn't see a rabbit.

This made him feel very desolate, a big man, who had come down to this point, had to suffer such difficulties just because he sent troops to Yizhou Mu.

However, although Huangfu Jianshou got the instructions from above to make concessions in Yangzhou as a last resort, he really didn't dare to bow his head in this matter, he was afraid that he would become a sinner through the ages.

After thinking for a while, Huangfu looked at Li Yi, pulled out a somewhat ugly smile, and asked, "Since it is so difficult for the Marquis of Xiang to send troops, Jianshou does not dare to force it, but I would like to ask, if you don't want the Marquis of Xiang to send troops, It can also save the emperor from embarrassment, is Xianghou willing to do it?"

Li Yi blinked his eyes, he felt that he had already laid out the main price tag, and it was time for Huangfu Jianshou to show his cards, but what did he mean by this now?

Since he didn't understand what Huangfu Jianshou meant, with Li Yi's vigilance, he naturally wouldn't agree directly, but asked cautiously: "Forgive Li Yi for being stupid, I don't know what brother Huangfu said specifically?"

Huangfu looked at the people in the tent, intending to let them avoid them, but after thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth, instead of asking everyone to avoid him, he raised his voice and said: "If the emperor and the military officials escape from Chang'an on their own, Li and Guo's pursuers will also follow. There will be loyal people blocking it, so there is no need for the Marquis of Xiang to worry about it. The Marquis of Xiang only needs to send thousands of elites to meet the escort and welcome the emperor into Jingzhou. In this way, regardless of money, food and manpower, the consumption will be very little, and it will never become a burden for Jingzhou. There is no need to turn against Li Jue, it can be said that one action can achieve multiple goals, what does Xianghou think?"

Because Huangfu Jianshou's voice was very loud, not only Li Yi heard it, but also Zhang Liao, Lusu and the others. They raised their heads in unison, staring at Li Yi with fiery eyes. Li Yi sent troops to serve the king. Although they saw the benefits, they still had some concerns in their hearts.

At this moment, even if he was as calm as Lu Su, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to let Li Yi quickly agree to welcome the emperor into Jingzhou and hold it in his hands.

Because Jingzhou is Li Yi's base camp, it is much safer to let the emperor come over than to run to run Chang'an.

Huangfu Jianshou saw the change in everyone's eyes, and for the first time he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that these people were all moved. They wanted to welcome the emperor into Jingzhou. It was a click, because Li Yi's face was a little ugly.

Soon, Lu Su and others also noticed that Li Yi's expression was not right, which made them feel a lot of pressure, and they all took back their gazes one by one, looking at their noses and their hearts, although Very anxious, but on the surface they all pretended to be relatively honest.

Huangfu Jianshou sighed with emotion at Li Yi's majesty, and asked softly, "I don't know what Xianghou wants?"

Li Yi did not answer immediately, but bowed his head in silence for a while, then smiled, and asked: "If the emperor Luan enters Jingzhou, Li Yi will naturally respect the emperor, and everything is based on the emperor, but dare to ask the angel, From now on, who will have the final say on Jingzhou's government affairs, soldiers and horses, money and food, and city defense?"

Chapter 583

"This is naturally what the Marquis Xiang has the final say on."

Huangfu Jianshou's tone was barely calm, but in fact, cold sweat was already breaking out on his back.

Li Yi cast a glance at Huangfu Jianshou, and asked in a very indifferent tone: "Since the angel said that he can resist Li Jue and Guo Si, there are still loyal people around the emperor, so if the emperor enters Jingzhou, how many people will there be?" Soldiers and horses accompanying?"

Li Yi's voice was gentle, but Huangfu Jianshou felt as if his heart was being grabbed by someone, gritted his teeth, and said with some difficulty: "Three thousand!"

"Three thousand?"
