Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Although at present, Li Yi and Yuan Shao have one south and one north, and there is no direct border between them. At first glance, it seems that there will be no direct conflicts in the next few years, as long as they develop themselves.

However, Li Yi and Yuan Shao are both people with ambitions in the world. It would be too childish to ignore potential opponents because they do not border each other.

Just like Li Yi gave the jade seal to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao also sent Xu You to contact Li Yi. This exchange is like an invisible confrontation. Although there will be no blood, if it is not handled properly, it may bring no harm. No less than a bloody battle of ten thousand people.

Therefore, for Xu You's arrival, Li Yi didn't treat him as a simple messenger, and as for Xu You's compliments on him, Li Yi didn't take a word seriously.

"What Mr. said made Yi panic."

Li Yi waved his hands in a modest gesture, and said: "Although Yi lives in Yangzhou now, he is still an official of Jingzhou, and he will return to Jingzhou soon. The so-called mastery of Jingyang and Yangzhou is just a joke. He is a Han minister, and the land of the Central Plains is also the territory of the Great Han, and the word "struggle for the front" is even more out of the question."

"Oh?"

Xu You looked at Li Yi in surprise, and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Is what Xianghou said true?"

Li Yi nodded seriously, and affirmed: "Of course it is true!"

"hehe"

Xu You smiled, leaned closer to Li Yi, and asked in a mysterious whisper: "Your Majesty, don't hide it from me. You heard on the way that the imperial court has not yet determined the candidate for the governor of Yangzhou, but Marquis Xiang has already The intention of appointing a confidant to take charge of Yangzhou's military and political affairs is obvious, but the Marquis Xiang and I have denied it categorically, and Marquis Xiang is so out of touch, isn't it chilling my old friend?"

Li Yi thought to himself that Xu You was thick-skinned, and he has become an old friend before this happened, but the slander in his heart belongs to the slander, but on the surface Li Yi's face was serious, and said: "It is true, but it is because the court did not officially appoint , After the war in Yangzhou, there was a lot of waste waiting to be done. For the sake of the people of Yangzhou, I had no choice but to let Jia Xu act as an agent for Yangzhou. When the imperial court appoints and the new officials are in place, Jia Xu will return to Jingzhou immediately. Never stay longer than one day.”

Xu You couldn't help rolling his eyes. If he believed Li Yi's nonsense, there would be something wrong with him. Xu You even felt that if the imperial court really sent the governor over, his life would definitely be in danger.

Laughing, Xu You nodded his head, and said without sincerity in a suddenly enlightened tone: "So that's the case, but I misunderstood Xianghou, and you should punish yourself with a cup."

As he spoke, Xu You took up his wine glass and drank it down, and Li Yi also accompanied him. After drinking, Xu You smacked his lips and said: "The world is in chaos today, the emperor is in the hands of bandits, the government orders are not in Chang'an, and the princes from all over the world are conquering each other. As a result, disasters occurred everywhere, and the people did not have a living. In the past, the Marquis of Xiang, who was only a commoner, was able to take the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility, and killed the country's thieves. Now, the Marquis of Xiang has become a state shepherd, occupying the rich land of Jingzhou. The power is thousands of times greater than in the past, and there are few people in the world who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Marquis Xiang, so I don’t know how Marquis Xiang intends to exercise his post as state shepherd in the future, and how will he be loyal to the emperor?"

After finishing speaking, Xu You put down his wine glass and sat upright in front of Li Yi. Compared with the previous words that were considered tentative, now they are quite straightforward.

Other people in the hall also noticed that Xu You's question had become a little sensitive. Although no one stood up and spoke out at this time, the atmosphere in the hall was still a little more serious invisibly.

Li Yi tilted his head slightly, as if he didn't fully understand Xu You's meaning, thought for a while, and then said with some distress: "Don't be afraid of Mr.'s jokes, Yi came from a humble background, and when he suddenly ascended to a high position, he knows that the high position is too cold, and he acts with trepidation. I am afraid that there will be any mistakes that will affect the people, where, or too big ideas. For the time being, I still don’t have any big ideas. However, General Yuan is the fourth generation and the third prince, and he is surrounded by resourceful people like Mr. to assist him. Thinking about it, there should be a lot of things that Yuan Gong can learn from. Why don't you just talk about it, so that Li Yi can follow suit?"

Seeing Li Yi kicking the ball back, Xu You was not in a hurry, but smiled and said, "So that's the case. Since Marquis Xiang intends to imitate my lord, you will not be stingy. My lord's various measures in Hebei can help Xiang Hou confessed frankly, but there are so many things involved, it cannot be explained clearly at once, so, hehe, instead of being so troublesome, you have a good idea here, if Xianghou adopts it, there will be no need for Xianghou to worry about everything in the future bother."

Hearing this, Li Yi was curious and asked, "What is the method?"

Xu You smiled, looked at Li Yi, then glanced at the people present, and said slowly: "My lord Yuan Benchu ​​has an extraordinary background and lofty aspirations. It's what the people want, just wait until the Gongsun rebels are eliminated in the coming year, and there will be no people with two hearts in Hebei."

"Xianghou and my lord have similar ambitions, but their qualifications are shallow. In this case, why don't you just take my lord Yuan Benchu ​​as the master, use my lord's reputation to help Xianghou achieve fame, and use the land of Xianghou Jingzhou to assist me The Lord wiped out the world's disobedient ministers, so it can be said to be the best of both worlds, and the people of the world can also suffer less suffering, I wonder what Xianghou wants?"

As soon as Xu You's voice fell, the atmosphere in the whole hall changed. Everyone stopped their original movements and stared at Xu You sharply. Those eyes seemed to be killing people, and even more so. What's more, military generals such as Dian Wei Wei Yan have already quietly grasped the hilt of their swords, and as long as Li Yi gives an order, they will cut this rude person under the sword.

No wonder everyone was angry, because Xu You's words were too rude.

Li Yi is not weaker than Yuan Shao in power now, but Xu You used Li Yi's modest words to make Li Yi recognize Yuan Shao as the main one because of the difference in background.

Thanks to Li Yi reminding everyone before the banquet, no matter what happened at the banquet, they are not allowed to make unnecessary actions, so everyone had to suppress their emotions, otherwise even if no one did anything to Xu You at this time, they would call him a dog Blood is imminent, for sure.

Compared with the anger of the crowd, Xu You is not feeling well at this time.

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Yi naturally recommended his subordinates to Xu You. On the surface, Xu You was only polite and pleasant, but he actually paid a lot of attention in his heart, especially generals such as Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Dian Wei, and Wei Yan. , but each imposing manner is mighty, which gives Xu You a very good feeling.

This made Xu You very concerned and very vigilant.

However, just now Xu You deliberately provoked Zhang Liao and others to anger. Although Xu You had been prepared for a long time, the invisible pressure still made Xu You break out in cold sweat, and his heart beat like a drum, almost subconsciously. I have come to a very bad conclusion that Li Yi's generals are not weaker than Yan Liangchou!

This harvest made Xu You very uneasy. He didn't understand where Li Yi found these talents. What's more, what Li Yi brought with him now was only a part of his strength. With Jingzhou, doesn't it mean that he has more generals than Yuan Shao?

How can this be achieved!

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was getting more and more dignified, Li Yi coughed lightly, breaking the oppressive atmosphere, and then saw that Li Yi looked as usual, not annoyed by Xu You's words at all, and said calmly: "Mr. It's not appropriate, Li Yi's allegiance is to the emperor, so how can he be dominated by others? Hehe, Mister should be punished with wine."

"Haha, what the Marquis Xiang said is true, what the Marquis Xiang said is true, you will punish yourself with three cups!"

Xu You didn't really ask Li Yi to join Yuan Shao, he was just probing, and he did find out what he wanted to know, so he immediately handed over his hands and apologized, then poured himself a drink, and drank three glasses in a row When Li Yi saw this, he raised his glass and bowed slightly to everyone present, and everyone looked away from Xu You, and continued to eat and drink, as if nothing had happened before.

Seeing this scene, Xu You couldn't help admiring in his heart that Li Yi's restraint on his subordinates was stronger than Yuan Shao's by three points.

Although Li Yi's background is not good, most of the people under his command are of ordinary background, and these people were brought out by Li Yi. Li Yi is not only their lord, but also has a kindness to them, so it is naturally easy restrain them.

But Yuan Shao's side was different, many people went to Yuan Shao only after they became famous outside, although most of them were still obedient, but there were quite a few thorns, which made Yuan Shao quite a headache.

Xu You sighed softly in his heart. Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with the people under Li Yi's command. With Yuan Shao's reputation, he could see if he could secretly win over some of them. In case Li Yi and Yuan Shao competed in the future, he could become a helper, but Before this matter started, Xu You gave up. He felt that if he really did that, not only would he not gain anything, but he would also be laughed at for nothing.

Putting down the wine glass, Xu You said in a voice that only he and Li Yi could hear: "What you said before was presumptuous, please don't blame the Marquis Xiang."

Li Yi said very generously: "Where is that, I regard Mr. as a friend, how can friends be unhappy because of some words?"

"Xiang Hou is magnanimous, Xu You admires him!"

After handing over again, Xu You continued Li Yi's previous words and asked: "Since the Marquis Xiang is honest, you will not hide it anymore. Now there is something that you are confused about, and you can't figure it out. I hope that Marquis Xiang can explain it. "

Li Yi said with a smile: "What's the matter, sir, just come."

Xu You nodded, and said in a softer voice: "In the name of Marquis Xiang's loyalty, he should put the emperor first in his actions. However, since Marquis Xiang has passed on the jade seal of the country, he didn't dedicate it to the emperor. Instead, he wanted to give it to my lord. Why is this?"

After all, Xu You looked into Li Yi's eyes without blinking, as if to find some secret from them.

Whether it was Yuan Shao or Xu You, they all expressed their confusion about Li Yi's act of giving away the jade seal, and they didn't understand what Li Yi wanted to do.

Tian Feng said that Li Yi's gift of the jade seal was to bring disaster to the east, and asked Yuan Shao not to accept it, but Yuan Shao and most of his subordinates didn't think so, because it was the jade seal of the country, and using the jade seal as a disaster would cost too much Well, if it were Yuan Shao himself, he would definitely be reluctant.

However, Yuan Shao also knew that Li Yi definitely did not have good intentions, and there must be a certain conspiracy in sending him this jade seal.

Yuan Shao discussed this issue with his counselors for two full days, but in the end they couldn't come up with a reason. Therefore, Yuan Shao told Xu You that he must find out Li Yi's intentions. If Li Yi wanted to use Yuxi to propose Whatever requirement, try to meet it, if it is too much, then delay it and discuss it in the future.

Hearing Xu You's question, Li Yi said inwardly that he was very patient. He originally thought that Xu You would go straight to Yuxi as soon as he came, but it turned out that he waited until now to speak, which was considered embarrassing for him.

Li Yi sighed lightly, and said: "What you said is not bad, the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is such a precious treasure, my virtue is shallow, and it is a blessing to be able to take a look at it by chance. I dare not take it as my own, and I should take it as my own." Dedicated to the Son of Heaven, but"

"Ugh!"

Li Yi's eyes showed sadness, and he said: "But, now that the emperor is in the hands of the two thieves, Li and Guo, you say, if I send the jade seal to Chang'an, will it be handed over to the emperor or the two thieves? This has something to do with the enemy. What's the difference? If this fuels the arrogance of the two thieves, wouldn't Li Yi become a sinner in the world?"

Seeing Li Yiyan's conclusiveness, and the appearance that he didn't hand in the jade seal was for the good of the world, even Xu You was very black-bellied, so he couldn't help but secretly cursed shamelessly.

This reason is completely nonsense. Yuxi is useful to others, but it is really not very useful to Li Jue and Guo Si. After all, the emperor is in the hands of others.

On the contrary, giving the jade seal to Yuan Shao is the real "enemy"!

Li Yi ignored the suspicious look in Xu You's eyes, and continued: "The fourth and third generations of Yuan's family are all loyal and good in the Han family. When Yuan Gong called on the world's heroes to crusade against the national thieves, Li Yi still thinks of such a righteous act. Endless."

"Therefore, the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is such a precious treasure. Except for the Son of Heaven, anyone with virtue should live there. When it comes to virtue, there is no one in the world who can compare with Duke Yuan. The Jade Seal of Chuanguo belongs to Duke Yuan. Come back!"
