Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

As for hiring himself, he didn't have the idea of ​​going with him, because he knew that if something happened to him, staying in the city would be far more useful than being with Li Yi.

Under the guidance of Zhou Cang, Li Yi and his party soon arrived at the camp where Zhang Xiu was. The soldiers guarding the camp gate saw that he was unfamiliar, but he was so imposing that he dared not neglect him, so he asked from a long distance, "Excuse me?" Which general is here?"

Yu Fan wanted to answer, but Li Yi got off his horse and said, "This is Li Yi, who came here to pay homage to General Zhang Ji."

The pawn guarding the gate was stunned for a moment. Li Yi's name was very famous in Zhang Xiu's camp. He naturally knew it, but Li Yi suddenly appeared in front of him, which was a bit too unreal.

At this time Dian Wei and the others also got off their horses. Seeing the soldiers in a daze, Yu Fan stepped forward and added, "This is the Marquis Xiang."

The pawn came back to his senses, his whole body trembled, his face was a little pale, and he stumbled and said: "I see you, I have seen Marquis Xiang."

Li Yi nodded and said, "There is no need to be polite, can your general be in the camp?"

"Yes, yes."

After learning of Li Yi's identity, the pawn was a little excited, but he was more afraid. As Zhang Xiu's subordinate, the name Li Yi had been a shadow hovering over their heads for a long time. He is stressed out.

"Please also inform me."

Li said again that he didn't come to provoke, and he didn't rely on his own identity to force his way in. However, he didn't know whether Li Yi's attitude was so good that he moved the pawn, or the pawn didn't dare to stop Li Yi at all. Yi said directly: "No need, please come in, Marquis Xiang."

As the pawn said, he called a few people and opened the gate of the camp, inviting Li Yi in.

Li Yi shook his head secretly, dissatisfied with Zhang Xiu's military discipline, but he did not criticize, but said behind him: "The three of you follow me in, and the others can stay outside. By the way, come on, you will send those Take the long gun."

Feeling uncomfortable, Zhou Cang said in a low voice, "Don't you bring some guards, my lord?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Xiu won't hurt me."

After that, Li Yi walked straight forward, Dian Wei and Yu Fan followed, Zhou Cang was not a timid person, seeing Li Yi's pride, he didn't say anything, walked a few steps quickly, and followed Behind Dian Wei.

Because Zhang Ji made a mistake, Zhang Xiu only brought his troops and horses, less than 4000 people in total, so the temporary camp was not large. Li Yi, led by the pawn, arrived in Zhang Xiu soon. The big tent dedicated to Zhang Ji.

Li Yi came too suddenly, and the guards didn't notify him, they just welcomed him in, so until now, Zhang Xiu didn't know that Li Yi had entered the camp. On the contrary, among the soldiers outside, some of them recognized Li Yi. Yi's face, everyone was so surprised that they followed Li Yi and the others subconsciously. When Li Yi arrived in front of Zhang Xiu's big tent, there were already hundreds of people behind him, and the number was still there. continue to increase.

Seeing that Li Yi was about to go in, Zhang Xiu inside finally noticed that the voices outside were a bit noisy, and strode out, still wrapped in sackcloth, with a sad face, but also a little bit of anger, probably because he was I was startled by the movement, and felt unhappy.

Then, the expression on Zhang Xiu's face froze as soon as he walked out, and he actually saw Li Yi.

Although Zhang Xiu came to Li Yilai this time, and had imagined several situations when meeting Li Yi in advance, he really didn't expect Li Yi to come so soon, let alone meet Li Yi here.

At this moment, Zhang Xiu's head was empty, and he stood there in a daze, at a loss.

Li Yi looked at Zhang Xiu and sighed in his heart. Before the conflict in Luoyang, Zhang Xiu was actually a high-spirited man, but it didn't take long before he was hit by him depressed. In order not to make people laugh, even for a long time Zhang Xiu never went out.

However, seeing Zhang Xiu again now, Li Yi found that although Zhang Xiu was young, he had a sense of middle-aged decadence, but thinking about it, Zhang Xiu had too many ups and downs in life.

Li Yi took a step forward, wanting to talk to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu didn't know whether it was an instinctive reaction or something, Li Yi just moved a little, but he took a step back.

Zhang Xiu's reaction was somewhat beyond Li Yi's expectations, even Zhang Xiu himself couldn't think of it, but after reacting, he felt blushing, why was he so afraid of Li Yi?

And this retreat was in front of many people, wouldn't it be ridiculed again?

Zhang Xiu was thinking about how to make up for his face, but Li Yi had stepped forward again, walked to Zhang Xiu in the direction Zhang Xiu was retreating, and naturally reached out to grab his arm, and said softly: "I heard that Zhang Ji Yi felt very sad and blamed himself for the general's disaster, so he deliberately came here overnight, and hoped that General Zhang Xiu would allow Yi to go to worship."

In the past, when Li Yi saw Zhang Xiu, there was never a time when he was not full of strength, so that Zhang Xiu had to bow his head, and even couldn't breathe, but this time, Li Yi spoke in a soft voice, which made Zhang Xiu feel dazed for a while. If it wasn't for his good looks, he would have thought that Li Xianghou was a fake.

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Yi, took a deep breath, bowed and said, "The Marquis of Xiang arrived suddenly, but Zhang Xiu couldn't greet her in time. There were many gaffes. I hope the Marquis of Xiang is not to blame. Please come to the Marquis of Xiang."

At this time, Zhang Xiu had regained his composure, and his speech had adjusted a bit. At the same time, he also found that although Li Yi's attitude towards him was unusually gentle compared with that of Chang'an, Li Yi's aura was even more frightening. Xiu didn't even dare to look at Li Yi.

Moreover, Zhang Xiu also saw that although Li Yi was well-dressed, it was covered with a lot of dust, and it seemed that he had just returned from his journey.

Zhang Xiu's heart was a little touched, and he pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking. Since Li Yi came to worship, he didn't continue to talk, but Zhang Xiu led him to the big tent.

However, Zhang Xiu didn't take a few steps, so he couldn't help but look back, because he saw that there were only three people behind Li Yi.

Among them, Zhou Cang was the one he had seen before. Although Yu Fan was strong and burly, he didn't look like a strong man. Dian Wei gave Zhang Xiu a feeling that he couldn't beat him at first glance, but this man also Is it too little?

Zhang Xiu looked behind the three of them again, but he did not see anyone else, so he couldn't help asking: "I don't know where the Marquis Xiang is going, and I have to make arrangements so as not to be negligent."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "The accompanying guards are all outside the camp, only the three of them came in with me."

After Zhang Xiu thought for a while, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look outside again. He was a little worried that his soldiers had stopped Li Yi's people outside, and he might suffer if he did that.

Li Yi didn't notice Zhang Xiu's thoughts, but Yu Fan saw it, and took the initiative to explain: "General Zhang Xiu, don't think too much, it's the lord who said that you can't disturb General Zhang Ji's cleanliness, that's why you let the guards stay outside the camp." , has nothing to do with others."

A look of surprise flashed in Zhang Xiu's eyes, and he smiled at Yu Fan a little forcedly, then looked at Li Yi again with a complicated expression.

A group of people came to the mourning hall in such a silent atmosphere. Li Yi lit the long incense and was about to go up to worship, but saw that the coffin in front was open, and there were only a few clothes, shoes and hats inside.

Noticing Li Yi's gaze, Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and said with some grief and indignation: "Zhang Xiu is incompetent. After his uncle was killed, he couldn't even take back his body. Now he can only worship with his clothes."

"I see"

Li Yi bowed his head and murmured, offered incense, saluted, then stood still facing the coffin, and said slowly: "Since General Zhang Ji agreed to serve under my command, he will deploy for me. It should be a happy event. When the general establishes his achievements, Yi also fails to have a good time with the general, but the general is not in the hands of the thieves first, it really makes Yi feel sad and regretful!"

"Before the general was alive, Li Yi couldn't do anything for the general, but after his death, Li Yi can do two things!"

"First, Yi Hui will send people to Chang'an to redeem the bones of General Zhang Ji and several other generals, and transport them back to Jingzhou for a proper burial!"

Zhang Xiu, who was beside Zhan, raised his head abruptly, as if he couldn't believe that Li Yi would make this promise.

Li Yi didn't look at Zhang Xiu, but continued: "If there is a fight on the battlefield, the husband will die. Li Yi won't say anything, but Li Jue and Guo Si designed to capture my subordinates and then kill them. There is no compromise in this matter." Reason, Li Yi promises that if we fight with Li and Guo in the future, the two will not be surrendered, and there will be no way to survive, and the heads of the two thieves will be sacrificed to the general in the future!"

Zhang Xiu looked at Li Yi in a daze, his eyes were a little sour, and after a while, he choked up and called out, "Xiang, Marquis Xiang"

It would be fine if Li Yi just redeemed Zhang Xiu's corpse, after all, for Li Yi, it was just spending some money and time.

But Li Yi said in person that he would not accept the surrender of Li and Guo in the future, which is no small matter.

Although Zhang Xiu felt that Li Yi would definitely be able to defeat Li Jue and Guo Si in the future, it would not be an easy task. If Li Yi could promise huge profits and force Li and Guo to surrender, this would be the best choice.

But now Li Yi directly stated that he would not save the lives of the two of them, which is equivalent to Li Yi directly giving up a lot of benefits, which is real sincerity at this time.

"Xianghou, how did this happen?"

Zhang Xiu said a little excitedly, Li Yi looked at him, not positively, but said: "Whether it's public or private, I don't like Li Jue and Guo Si, but they are not small. In addition, the Son of Heaven is in his hands, so although I want to kill him quickly, this matter cannot be done hastily. So, general, don't be impatient, but I can promise that if you attack the two thieves in the future, you will use the general as the vanguard ,how?"

Listening to Li Yi's soft voice, Zhang Xiu was moved beyond measure. Finally, the last trace of entanglement left in his heart was untied, and all the grudges in the past dissipated. Kneeling down in front of Li Yi, bowed deeply, choked up and said: "Xianghou Renyi, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu has made many mistakes in the past, and I hope that Xianghou can accept it regardless of past suspicions. Zhang Xiu is willing to go through fire and water for Xianghou. !"

A smile flashed in Li Yi's eyes, but it was quickly hidden by him. Li Yi bent down to help Zhang Xiu up, but Zhang Xiu was in tears and was wiping.

Normally, even if Zhang Xiu was touched, he would not shed tears, but now that his uncle is dead, under such a big change, Li Yi did not take the opportunity to continue bullying him, but instead used nice words, which made Zhang Xiu I can't take it anymore.

Li Yi looked at Zhang Xiu, sighed softly and said, "I was actually at fault for what happened in Chang'an back then."

"Xianghou, this"
