Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"What guess?"

Xun You said helplessly: "Maybe it's because the lord asks too little for this matter, and Yuan Shao gets too much profit, which seems obviously unreasonable, so Xu You became suspicious, so he felt that there was a fraud in it, which made him give birth to other things. idea."

"This"

Li Yi opened his mouth, and was about to say how this is possible, but after thinking about it for a while, he found that Xun You's guess was very reasonable.

Because smart people tend to think too much, such as pies falling from the sky, straight-hearted people will eat it in a stupid mouthful, but for someone with a high IQ, the most thought-provoking thing is definitely not to eat, but to look at it from various angles. Pies are analyzed.

Wanting to understand this truth, Li Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "Mr. is probably not bad, but Xu You is willing to think wildly, so let him go. Anyway, Yuan Shao can't refuse this matter."

Li Yi is not worried about some of Xu You's possible thoughts. After all, he asks for very little. The Zhen family is well protected, and with Yuan Shao's temperament, it is unlikely to do some meaningless villainous behavior.

Unlike Li Yi, Xun You felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't tell the specifics, so after hesitating, he could only say: "Xu You will send a letter to Yuan Shao soon, but he still keeps Waiting for the news in the lord's camp, I implore the lord to arrange some manpower, pay attention to Xu You's daily whereabouts, lest Xu You take the opportunity to spy on our army."

"Sir, what you said is reasonable. I'll let Dianwei do it later."

Li Yi nodded seriously. He actually doesn't like Xu You very much, because for a superior, a guy like Xu You who killed his former boss as soon as he turned around is quite bad, and the battle of Guandu It also showed Xu You's cruelty from the side. For this kind of person, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.

In the conversation and exploration with Xu You before, Li Yi has been trying to hide his aggressiveness as much as possible, in order to reduce the threat level in Yuan Shao's heart, so Li Yi doesn't want Xu You to find out any secrets at his home, Then let Yuan Shao directly list him as an enemy.

In Li Yi's deduction, Yuan Shao at this time can still pose a threat to him.

For example, Yuan Shao strongly intervened in the battle for Yanzhou, ended the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao ahead of schedule, and then ordered Cao Cao to harass Jingzhou.

Li Yi is not afraid of Cao Cao, nor is he afraid of Yuan Shao, but that kind of situation is really troublesome. Li Yi's plan is to recharge his energy and find an opportunity to push it over in waves, so as to minimize the harm caused by the war to society. Li Yi really didn't want to do that kind of tug-of-war unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because of Xu You, Li Yi's troops stayed in Wan County for an extra day. On the second day, the army turned back to Shouchun.

Different from the time when he came, when he returned, Li Yi took Juchao, the direction of Shu County, that is, the road that Xu Huang took before, and the flags were waving along the way, which can be regarded as an announcement to the cities along the road, let them know , Who said this place is broken.

As for Xu You, although Li Yi wanted to hide his clumsiness, some things couldn't be hidden, such as military appearance and discipline.

When Li Yi set up camp the next day, Xu You turned to the place where the grain and grass were stored, but was stopped by the gatekeepers. Then Xu You bribed and teased tigers, using both soft and hard methods, but in the end he failed to move forward go one step further.

After Li Yi heard about it, he rewarded the soldiers guarding the gate, but he was not in a good mood. After all, in the era of cold weapons, military discipline had a great impact on combat effectiveness!

Because Li Yi wanted to show his majesty, the army marched relatively slowly. When they reached Linhu, they were chased by Lu Su and He Qi who had returned from Kuaiji.

Although Li Yi regretted that Yu Fan was not found, Li Yi still gave considerable affirmation to Lu Su's performance this time, allowing Lu Su to completely secure his position as the number one secretary next to Li Yi.

As for He Qi who took the initiative to defect, Li Yi was also very happy, and specially arranged a banquet to welcome He Qi to join.

As for He Qi, Li Yi felt that he was a typical capable son of a wealthy family.

When they met for the first time, He Qi made Li Yi "beautiful", because in terms of the gorgeous clothes on his body, He Qi is definitely in the top five for Li Yi, and it is easy for people to think that he is a frizzy person who likes to show off Personality, but after real contact with him, you will know that He Qi's personality is much more stable than his clothes.

Then Xun You talked with He Qi about military strategy, and spoke highly of him, and privately told Li Yi that He Qi was very good and worthy of reuse.

When He Qi came, he brought 2000 people with him. Li Yi went to meet him specially, and was very surprised.

Because the quality of the armor and weapons of He Qi's people is all high-quality, even better than his personal guard camp, this makes Li Yi have to sigh in his heart for the wealth and power of the aristocratic family.

According to the agreement, the troops brought by He Qi, Li Yi, were directly disbanded and reorganized. However, in order to show how much he valued He Qi, after the disbandment, Li Yi called back 500 of them to serve as He Qi's personal guards.

He Qi was very grateful to Li Yi, thinking that this was Li Yi's trust, but to Li Yi, 500 people were really nothing, and he could get the favor of a general in exchange for it, why not do it?

On this day, Li Yi's army arrived in Xiang'an County, and the army stayed outside the city. Li Yi entered the city for a banquet. Besides his own family, he also invited dozens of local officials and squires to meet and get to know each other. By the way, draw another pie for them.

However, when the banquet was halfway through, Li Yi's personal guard Zhao Da hurried in, destroying the originally very harmonious atmosphere.

Zhao Da leaned over and said a few words in Li Yi's ear, Li Yi's face drooped immediately, without saying a word, he got up and walked out.

Seeing Li Yi like this, the others couldn't sit still, and got up one after another. Zhang Liao was quick, grabbed Zhao Da, and asked as he walked, "What happened to make the Lord angry?"

Xun You, Xu Huang and others also came to the front, all looking at Zhao Da, curious about what happened, after all, on such occasions, there are not many things that can directly change Li Yi's face.

Zhao Da smiled wryly and said: "Someone outside Shicai's mansion begged to see the lord, and his behavior was a little frivolous. The brothers didn't like it when they saw it, but they didn't make things difficult for him. They just asked him to wait outside the door. After a while, Xu You happened to pass by. After seeing the man For some reason, he took the initiative to talk to him, and after some conversation, Xu You asked him to go to Hebei to join Yuan Shao, but he refused, saying that the lord was wise and powerful, ten times better than Yuan Shao. He even made a move, but Xu You was no match for him, so he was knocked to the ground in two or three hits, so he became angry and asked his guards to kill him, but we stopped him."

When everyone heard the words, they looked at each other in blank dismay. At first they thought that something important had happened, but it turned out to be a fight, which was really surprising.

"Hey, good fight, if that Xu is not the messenger, I would have taught him a lesson!"

It was Wei Yan who said this, with a bit of joy in his tone, and when everyone heard this, they all showed some smiles on their faces, because Xu You really deserved a little beating.

On the way home, Li Yi held a banquet every time he passed through a county to entertain local officials and representatives of local aristocratic families, so as to facilitate the relationship between them.

On this occasion, Li Yi's main subordinates naturally participated, and in order to show Li Yi's friendship, Xu You was also invited to be on the list.

At the banquet with a clear purpose of Zhengzhi, everything in it is naturally dominated by Li Yi. As an envoy, Xu You can be a quiet bystander even if he does not flatter Li Yi. The most basic respect for Li Yi, the master.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that at the first banquet, Xu You seemed to let himself go, talking loudly, keeping Yuan Shao in three sentences, and comparing Li Yi and Yuan Shao at every turn, implying that Li Yi was inferior in many ways Yuan Shao even asked the county magistrate directly, who is better, Li Yi or Yuan Shao, and so on, and then the people on Li Yi's side quarreled with Xu You, making a good banquet full of gunpowder, and finally broke up unhappy.

Afterwards, many people wanted to deal with Xu You, and Li Yi also wanted to cut him.

Because if it's a private banquet, Li Yi intends to show weakness, it's no problem to praise Yuan Shao, but when Li Yi meets other subordinates, Xu You still wants to praise Yuan Shao, that is to demolish Li Yi, Li Yi is not angry Strange.

But Xu You is from Yuan Shao, unlike the envoys of Cao Cao and Kong Rong, who can do whatever they say, especially before Zhen Mi comes over, and Li Yi can't directly do anything to Xu You.

However, Li Yi will not let Xu You mess around, and Li Yi will not invite Xu You to participate in the banquet after that. Xu You is very dissatisfied with this, and said a lot of strange things in private. I owe him money.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and the others felt very enjoyable when they heard that someone beat Xu You.

Xun You was careful, and asked Zhao Da, "You said that man's words and deeds are frivolous, how can you be frivolous?"

Zhao Da grinned subconsciously, and then said: "When others ask to see the lord, they first report their family background, then show their talents and ambitions, and finally ask the lord to hire him, but today, the guards at the door asked him why he came, and he didn't report it. Name, just say that you are here to seek an official!"

Chapter 590 Yu Fan

Hearing Zhao Da's explanation, everyone was a little stunned, as if they couldn't believe that there are such honest people in the world.

Zhang Liao couldn't help but said, "This seems to be a bit frivolous."

Everyone nodded, not only frivolous, but even a little arrogant.

Xun You had the same expression as everyone else at first, but soon he returned to normal, and said with a smile, "I think this person has a real temperament. After all, some things are more straightforward, isn't it just to ask for an official?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless, because what Xun You said was right, those people who asked to see Li Yi, even including them, were all asking for an official or a future. As for ideals, there were some, but Really very few.

Feeling embarrassed, Xu Huang coughed lightly and said, "I'll follow you out to see what Xu You is going to do."

"Yes, I'll get out soon, lest my lord get angry again."

"go away"

When everyone went out, Li Yi had already arrived at the gate of the county government. He saw a lot of onlookers gathered around the gate, and at a glance, there were no fewer than five or six hundred people.

In the middle of the crowd, Xu You stood there covered in dust, with his neck stuck up, his face flushed red, and seven or eight guards behind him were standing with their knives on them. Many people had bitter expressions on their faces, as if they were about to go to the execution ground.
