Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi's expression froze for a moment, then he patted his forehead and said, "I was wrong."

Jia Xu smiled, and then said seriously: "However, although you can't use the name of the court, but with a little tricks, you can't win without a fight."

Li Yi's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please tell me."

Jia Xu pondered for a while, then asked: "My lord, do you know the famous family in Hanoi, the Sima family?"

Li Yi frowned, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Tell me."

Because Jia Xu was concentrating on calculating things, he didn't notice the change in Li Yi's expression, and said to himself: "Sima Jun, the prefect of Yingchuan, was born in the Sima family of Hanoi, and his grandfather was Sima Jun, the general of Zhengxi. He is over sixty years old, and he is quite prestigious and popular in both Hanoi and Yingchuan. His son Sima Fang was once the governor of Luoyang. Li Jue is in charge of Jingji, Sima Fang is nothing but his name."

"The subordinates suggest that the master should contact Sima Fang and allow him to be the prefect. In addition, his eldest son Sima Lang is young and talented. The master can also enlist Sima Lang to be an official in Jingzhou. With the prestige of the master and the situation in Chang'an, the Sima family will readily agree. With this relationship, although the prefect of Yingchuan is Sima Jun, what is the difference between him and the master?"

Jia Xu smiled, and talked about her calculations a little proudly. She thought she would be praised by Li Yi, but after waiting for a while, Li Yi didn't make a sound, and when she turned her head, she saw Li Yi's face was a little gloomy.

Jia Xu didn't understand, so after thinking about it, she didn't understand what was wrong, so she could only ask cautiously: "My lord, is there something wrong with what this subordinate said?"

Li Yi exhaled, shook his head and said, "It's not Mr.'s fault, but"

Li Yi hesitated a little, and finally said: "The Sima family is born to be rebellious, and my luck is in conflict with it. After decades, it may bring disaster to the world. If Sima and his son are recruited, I am afraid that I will bear the notoriety of killing heroes in the future."

"what?"

Jia Xu opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and he rarely lost his composure in front of Li Yi.

It never occurred to him that he just made a random suggestion, but unexpectedly revealed a seemingly extraordinary thing.

However, Jia Xu is Jia Xu after all. Although Li Yi's words surprised and shocked him, he immediately stabilized his mind.

Having been in contact with Li Yi for so long, Jia Xu naturally knows that Li Yi has something supernatural, but as a very smooth person, Jia Xu will not take the initiative to ask these things, he just knows, but whatever Li Yi says with a magic stick , whether you understand it or not, as long as you resolutely implement it.

What's more, this time Jia Xu also found a special taste in Li Yi's tone, that is, Li Yi's murderous intentions are very heavy, and judging from the details of the words, he probably wants to destroy the family.

This made Jia Xu glad that he was afraid, because if he was allowed to stay in Nanyang for another year or so, he would really have a high possibility of recruiting Sima Lang under his command, and then introducing him to Li Yi.

God knows what Li Yi will look like then.

Li Yi saw that Jia Xu was lost in thought, but he didn't urge him. After all, he hadn't told anyone about the Sima family. It's normal for Jia Xu to be unprepared.

In fact, Li Yi also wavered just now, hesitating whether to follow what Jia Xu said, use a few people from the Sima family first, and talk about the latter things later. Anyway, under the condition of his foresight, it is impossible for Sima Yi to make trouble.

Even if the situation is different, Sima Yi probably won't have the idea of ​​making trouble at all.

However, Li Yi is an individual, he has emotions and desires, and he has his own likes and dislikes, such as Cao Cao and Liu Bei, although Li Yi chose to be hostile, he respects them very much in his heart, but for the Sima family, although they He is the last big winner of the Three Kingdoms, but Li Yi doesn't have any favors, and just wants to kill them as soon as possible.

Yingchuan is important, but Li Yi willfully doesn't want to make himself unhappy because of Yingchuan.

After a while, Jia Xu cleared his mind, exhaled, and said: "Since Mrs. Sima has evil intentions, it is a lack of consideration for the subordinates, but if this is the case, it will be a little troublesome if you want to take Yingchuan." .”

Li Yi didn't want to talk more about the Sima family for the time being, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Then, do you have a clever plan to take Runan?"

Jia Xu paused, and said helplessly: "Xu Wei, the prefect of Runan, is a man of great learning and integrity. After Rong took office in Yuzhou, he returned to serve as the prefect of Runan."

"Ugh."

Jia Xu sighed, and said: "Xu Yan's talent and character are all first-class. Although his official career has been bumpy, he has not changed his original intention and has always been loyal to the Han Dynasty. With him around, it is very difficult for my lord to take down Runan without bloodshed." I'm afraid it will be several times higher than Yingchuan."

Li Yi frowned and said, "Isn't there nothing to do?"

"otherwise."

Jia Xu said: "Let's talk about Yingchuan first, Yingchuan is preferable, but the Lord needs to wait for the opportunity."

Li Yi asked, "What opportunity?"

Jia Xu replied: "Nowadays Lu Bu and Cao Cao are constantly fighting, and the people of Yanzhou can no longer give birth with peace of mind. Many people have to flee south to survive, passing through Yuzhou and entering Jingzhou. As a result, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are increasingly short of food. To do those looting in Yuzhou, for this reason, Kong Rong also asked Tai Shici to lead troops to the northern county of Yuzhou to prevent Lv Bu and Cao Cao from looting, but the effect was minimal, and even many local people in Yuzhou chose to escape ,so"

Jia Xu said softly: "If the rebels from Yanzhou can be lured into Yuzhou, Kong Rong can't protect the people of Yuzhou, and the lord uses the army of justice to drive out the rebellion and rescue the people in danger at the critical moment, then Yuzhou will listen to the lord's orders in the future, or Listen to Kong Rong's order?"

"Okay, this method is very good!"

Li Yi clapped his hands in admiration. At the beginning, he might not be able to bear this kind of strategy, but he has experienced many wars, and he also knows that some things are inevitable. He can only guarantee that he will not Push the people directly into the fire pit, and he doesn't want to think about other things.

Regardless of his joy for Li Yi, Jia Xu looked calm and continued: "My lord, don't be in a hurry to be happy, there may be changes in it."

Li Yi asked, "What change?"

Jia Xu said: "My lord regards this subordinate as the governor of Yangzhou, and refuses the emperor to enter Jingzhou. This subordinate believes that Chang'an will never let it go, otherwise the majesty of the court will not be preserved."

"Since learning of the lord's appointment, the subordinates have done several deduction, thinking that the imperial court must appoint the state shepherd to come to fight for the power of Yangzhou, but considering that all the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou belong to the lord, so the visitors can only settle near Yangzhou first. "

"The lord once rescued Xuzhou. Mi Zhu and the lord are related by marriage, and Chen Deng also has contacts. Therefore, people from the court will most likely live in Yuzhou temporarily to recruit troops. At the same time, people will contact people in Yangzhou to cause chaos, and then cooperate internally and externally. Fight for Yangzhou."

Li Yi said thoughtfully, "Sir, do you want to talk about Runan?"

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Yes, Runan is a large county in the world, with a population of more than two million at the time, although it lost a lot due to various wars, but if you want to recruit troops to target Yangzhou, only Runan can do it. Use, and both Xu Wei and Kong Rong will fully support the court's move."

"So, my subordinates believe that if the lord wants to plot Yuzhou, we can do it in two ways. The first is to use external forces to seize Yingchuan and other places. The second is to wait for the imperial court to send troops from Runan to Yangzhou. As long as the soldiers and horses in Runan move, the lord Then we can attack him head-on, and then send troops into Runan to question the crime, and take the opportunity to seize the land of Runan. As long as the war goes well, what will the court do? What will Kong Rong do?"

"However, these two strategies are in the hands of others. Although the lord is planning in advance, he can't act on his own initiative. He can only follow the trend, and it is very easy to cause changes. This makes the subordinates a little worried."

Chapter 596 Via Yuzhou

There was a hint of regret on Jia Xu's face. If possible, he also wanted to make his plan foolproof. However, because of Li Yi's request and restrictions, he could only follow the time instead of taking the initiative by himself. right.

Compared to Jia Xu, Li Yi was quite calm. He thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is very good. I will let people pay more attention to the situation in Chang'an in the near future. Once I know the imperial court's arrangement for Yangzhou, I will tell you immediately. with you, but"

Li Yi hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "If the person appointed by the court is a mediocre person, he will naturally act according to the master's plan. It intercepted and killed."

"My lord's words are true, and my subordinates have no objections."

Jia Xu nodded, he naturally understood that Li Yi was worried that the court would send people like Huangfusong to Yangzhou, let alone the talents of such people, just relying on prestige can make people feel uncomfortable, instead of following them Intrigue on the battlefield, it is better to directly resort to some shady means to solve the problem in advance is the most convenient.

Although doing so may feel sorry for those meritorious veterans, but in order to compete for the world, this is nothing to do.

Li Yi frowned suddenly, and said again: "With such a method, you and I can use it on others, and others may not be able to plot against you and me. Mr. will go to Zhang Liao in a few days and choose five hundred elites as his personal guards, and he will go with him when he leaves. , enter to guard the mansion, guard day and night, in short, don't be careless!"

Jia Xu was moved in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thank you, my lord, please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates are not very courageous, but they are very afraid of death."

Li Yi also laughed. In fact, he originally wanted to allocate a group of people from his personal guards to Jia Xu, but it was inappropriate after thinking about it. He was suspected of monitoring Jia Xu. Although Jia Xu himself should not mind, but Li Yi didn't want to be misunderstood.

At this point, the matter in Yuzhou has come to an end. Li Yi continued: "I have no plans for Tao Qian himself in Xuzhou other than Yuzhou, but I am quite concerned about Zang Ba."

Li Yi said with some emotion: "After I entered Xuzhou, the main force of Cao Cao's army went north to fight Langya Zang Ba. Letting Cao Cao set foot on the top of the city is truly commendable, although in the end Cao Cao took advantage of it, which eventually led to a disastrous defeat and the slaughter of Kaiyang, but it cannot be denied that Zang Ba himself is a general."

"My lord said that when I heard about the battle in Xuzhou, my subordinates were most worried about Langya's premature fall, which would affect my lord. Unexpectedly, Zang Ba was able to defend. In contrast, Tao Qian's trusted generals are like porcupine dogs. , is not worth mentioning."

Jia Xu agreed with Li Yi's opinion. He really disdains those under Tao Qian. With Xuzhou's background, even if he can't beat Cao Cao, he shouldn't be defeated so badly. This can only be said to be the person in power in Xuzhou There is a problem with the level.
