Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

If such a situation really happened, with Li Yi's influence, Huangfu Jianshou couldn't even imagine how the emperor would deal with himself, and where the great man would go

The more Huangfu Jianshou thought about these things, the more worried he became, but even though he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any countermeasures. Even Huangfu Jianshou thought about simply dying, which was considered an apology to the emperor.

However, there is still an old father in his family who needs to support

Just when Huangfu Jianshou was filled with emotion, he suddenly heard someone shouting from beside him: "I see Brother Huangfu's complexion is not good, but did you not rest well last night?"

Huangfu Jianshou was shocked, and turned his head to look, it turned out that Li Yi had come to his side at some time, and was "consoling" him with a smile.

Now Huangfu Jianshou became angry when he saw Li Yi. The words Li Yi said to him yesterday made him toss and turn. He waited until it was almost dawn, and then reluctantly squinted for a while. It's no wonder his complexion is good today.

Huangfu Jianshou bowed his hands to Li Yi, looked back in the direction of Chang'an, and said leisurely: "Although he is tired from running around, but Jianshou is a courtier, thinking that the emperor is still suffering in Chang'an, not full of food, not warm under the quilt, look at the bed under him , I felt so guilty that I couldn’t sleep.”

With that said, Huangfu Jianshou turned his head to look at Li Yi, and asked, "I see the spring breeze on Xianghou's face, but I don't know if Xianghou slept well or not last night?"

Li Yi could naturally hear the resentment in Huangfu Jianshou's words, and Li Yi also understood it very well. If it were Huangfu Jianshou, he might have exploded on the spot last night.

But understanding is understanding, but Li Yi didn't answer Huangfu Jianshou's words, he didn't even hit the sloppy eye, and directly changed the subject: "Brother Huangfu also knows, it is too difficult for me to lead troops to Chang'an, it is too difficult for the emperor to come to Jingzhou , My request from the imperial court is also difficult to satisfy, alas, in this case, brother Huangfu’s mission will not be fulfilled, I wonder how brother Huangfu plans to return to the emperor?”

Huangfu Jianshou himself was also worried about how to return to his life, but he was determined to let Li Yi say, "Naturally report it truthfully!"

As he said that, Huangfu Jianshou still looked at Li Yi's face, wondering if he was panicking or not.

However, to Huangfu Jianshou's disappointment, Li Yi's expression didn't change significantly at all. He just nodded and said with concern: "So that's the case, but I'm a little worried. Brother Huangfu may not be able to deal with business when he goes back, and he may even be affected. People are to blame."

Huangfu Jianshou snorted coldly, and said, "That won't bother Marquis Xiang."

Li Yi shook his head, and said: "Old General Huangfu is kind to me, this time the incident happened because of me, how can I stand by and let brother Huangfu fall into danger?"

Huangfu Jianshou tilted his head slightly, and said mockingly: "Could it be that Marquis Xiang has repented and is ready to rescue the Son of Heaven?"

Li Yi said: "That's not true. I just think that after returning to Chang'an, Huangfu will most likely be questioned. In this case, why don't Brother Huangfu simply resign from his official position, and then take the old general back to his hometown and leave Chang'an? That's a place of wrongdoing?"

"Ok?"

Huangfu Jianshou showed surprise on his face. He thought Li Yi was going to say something wrong again, but he never thought about it, but he persuaded himself to leave Chang'an.

Moreover, Huangfu Jianshou really had this idea.

Li Yi continued: "The current chaos in Chang'an is not the fault of one person, nor can one person be able to restore it. The old general Huangfu has worked hard for the big man all his life. The credit is known to the world. His loyalty is admirable. As long as there is no wind or rain in his later years , will be respected by the world in the future, however, if the old general continues to stay in that chaotic place, forgive me, the old general has been wise all his life, and he may not be safe at the end of the day. It is a blessing to retreat and avoid the chaos."

Huangfu Jianshou bowed his head and thought for a while, although he was very moved, he still said coldly: "This is Jianshou's family matter, so don't bother Xianghou."

Li Yi was not annoyed at Huangfu's ignorance of longevity, and continued: "If Brother Huangfu is willing to go back to seclusion, I can write a warrant to order Nanyang to distribute five thousand shi of grain and grass, and Brother Huangfu will bring it back to Chang'an. Although it is not much, But it can relieve the emperor's urgent need, and it can be regarded as giving brother Huangfu a little explanation."

Huangfu Jianshou glanced at Li Yi, with complicated emotions. Five thousand stones of grain and grass are nothing compared to his purpose here. To Li Yi, the lord of a state, it is also just drizzle, but this is It was Li Yi who gave it for their family's face and asked him to use it for business.

"Thank you, Marquis Xiang."

In the end, Huangfu Jianshou still thanked him, then he hesitated a little, and said: "Before, Jingzhou and Xuzhou paid tribute to Chang'an. Because of the war, the tribute was delayed. Now that the war has settled down, Xiangzhou Let's see if it's right"

Huangfu Jianshou didn't intend to mention this matter. After all, as long as the original purpose is achieved, this matter will not be needed. What Li Yi just said gave Huangfu Jianshou a glimmer of hope again. Although the big event can't be done, If Li Yi can continue to provide the emperor's expenses, it will not be in vain.

"hehe"

Li Yi chuckled and did not answer, but asked: "Dare to ask the angel, I don't know if the court has made a decision on the matter of recommending Nanyang prefect Jia Xu as the governor of Yangzhou in a letter?"

Huangfu Jianshou's expression was a little stiff. He didn't expect Li Yi's topic to change so quickly, and it was such a sensitive issue.

After hesitating for a while, Huangfu Jianshou replied: "The emperor and the court officials are still discussing this matter."

Chapter 585 New Pattern of Yangzhou

"Still negotiating"

Li Yi was stunned, and asked again: "Brother Huangfu, do you know how long it will take to reach a conclusion on this matter?"

Huangfu Jianshou was speechless at Li Yi's serious appearance, because there was no need to discuss this matter at all. The recommendation letter was rejected by all the military officials in the court on the day it was sent to Chang'an, even if Li Yi and Li Yi Yi's father-in-law is no exception.

Although the news hasn't come out yet, Huangfu Jianshou doesn't believe that Li Yi can't guess the result.

For Li Jue and other Dong Zhuo's old men, Li Yi's own rise is nothing more than that. After all, they could not stop the situation at that time, and in terms of relationship, they are not the same as the mainstream wealthy families. Li Yi is stirring up trouble in the Central Plains Rain is also a way to share the pressure on them.

However, Li Yi's rise was too fast, not only exceeding their expectations, but even becoming their new threat.

Under such circumstances, it is okay for Li Jue and others to continue to maintain a superficially friendly relationship with Li Yi, but it is basically impossible for them to continue to support Li Yi.

Not to mention, the person Li Yi wants to help is Jia Xu, who was originally an inconspicuous existence in the Xiliang family.

Just imagine, if the unknown person in the past became a high-ranking governor of a state, where would this make Li Jue and Guo Si face?

Are they too incompetent, or are they too good?

Li Jue and Guo Si are like this, but the attitude of the court is better understood.

Because they don't even look up to Li Yi, let alone a dog-headed military division under Li Yi who wants qualifications but no qualifications, and fame but no reputation?

Jia Xu couldn't get through this hurdle of the imperial court at all, but because the imperial court had something to ask Li Yi for the time being, it didn't directly reject Li Yi's recommendation. A bad check, let Li Yi do the job before completely rejecting it.

Huangfu Jianshou knew these things in his heart, but he couldn't say it directly, he could only say vaguely: "Maybe ten days and a half months, or maybe one or two months. Of course, this is just Jianshou's own guess. After all, the governor of a state is not a child's play. , and Jianshou is only a mere official, and he doesn't know the specific arrangements very well, and he dare not speak out."

"That's it"

Li Yi rubbed his chin, and said worriedly: "If there is a way, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and this Yangzhou cannot be without a person in charge. Otherwise, the officials in various places will not be under the leadership, and the people of the counties will be uneasy. It will be fine in such a short time." If it's too long, I'm afraid it will be easy to change again, that's all, how about this, I will let Jia He work harder, let him come to Yangzhou to take the post of governor of Yangzhou temporarily, and after the imperial court officially appoints him, I will let him step down and leave. In this way, it will not only disappoint the people of Yangzhou, but also allow the court to calmly arrange a response without worrying, which is the best of both worlds."

Li Yi talked to himself, looking very happy, but Huangfu Jianshou was shocked, and couldn't help shouting: "How can this be the case with Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi tilted his head to look at Huangfu Jianshou, and asked back: "Nowadays, the court has no time to take care of the people of Yangzhou. Since I have the ability to help one or two, why should I stand by and see the people in dire straits?"

"This this"

Huangfu Jianshou was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He didn't know Li Yi's plan. This was to cut first and play later to create an established fact. Once Jia Xu took the position of governor of Yangzhou, whether it was temporary or not, the current situation of the court In the current situation, it will be extremely difficult to change players in the future.

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Okay, the matter is settled like this, I will write to the emperor to explain the matter, Brother Huangfu can also inform the emperor after returning, if the emperor thinks there is something wrong, he can also send an envoy to correct it, Regardless of Yangzhou or Jingzhou, Li Yi welcomes you."

After all, Li Yi smiled at Huangfu Jianshou, urged his mount under his crotch, and returned to the front of the team, while Huangfu Jianshou stretched out his hand to Li Yi's background, and finally sighed, his arm fell weakly, and nothing happened. Did not say.

Without Sun Ce's threat, Li Yi's marching army no longer had to think about ambush, so they marched very fast, and arrived in Wan County just after noon.

I don't know if it was Sun Ce's early arrangements, or because the news of Sun Ce's death came back. Although there were still nearly a thousand defenders in Wan County at this time, they had voluntarily given up resistance before Li Yi's arrival. Zhou Yu, who was originally imprisoned by Sun Ce, , was also released, and organized people to welcome Li Yi into the city at the door.

Zhou Yu was naturally very sad about Sun Ce's death, but this incident was already in his expectation. In addition, Sun Ce attacked Li Yi in the middle of the night, rushing to get Li Yi's life, so Zhou Yu didn't blame Li Yi On the contrary, he was very grateful to Li Yi for the generous burial of Sun Ce Cheng Pu and others.

After that, Zhou Yu officially joined Li Yi's command. Li Yi did not give Zhou Yu a specific position for the time being, but kept him by his side and partnered with Lu Su. When the Yangzhou incident was completely over, he was ready to take him Jingzhou.

In addition to Zhou Yu, Li Yi also met Zhuge Jin. According to Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin was also going to follow Sun Ce to send troops that day, but Sun Ce forced Zhuge Jin to stay. The reason is very simple. Zhuge Jin is Li Yi's eldest brother-in-law , As long as you don't try to die, he doesn't have to die.

After the meeting, Zhuge Jin didn't say that it was wrong for Li Yi to kill Sun Ce, but he also didn't turn around and bow his head to Li Yi just because Sun Ce died in battle, and he didn't ask for an official, but hoped that Li Yi could allow him to go home and study .
