Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi stretched out his finger and asked, "Is this what you were arguing about before?"

This time Pang Tong did not speak, but looked at Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan said with a smile: "I asked them to fight with [-] soldiers each, and I judged the fight to be a draw. But Pang Tong refused to accept it, thinking that he should have won."

Li Yi glanced at the two of them, feeling a little puzzled. Pang Tong was older than Lu Xun, and his mind was also very evil. It was normal for him to win. On the contrary, it was strange that Pang De judged a tie.

Seeing the puzzlement on Li Yi's face, Pang De said: "From the morning class to now, the two of them have played a total of five battles. In the first three battles, Pang Tong won all. In the fourth battle, it was Lu Xun who won. In the last battle , and Pang Tong won again."

Li Yi nodded, thinking that this record was normal, and he even suspected that Pang Tong might have deliberately conceded in the fourth round, after all, it was too bad to bully the children.

But such a record made Li Yi even more confused about Huang Chengyan's peace.

Stroking his beard, Huang Chengyan went on to say: "In the first battle, Pang Tong was cautious, step by step, tried repeatedly, and Lu Xun couldn't hold on, so it took a lot of time. It took nearly an incense stick of time before Pang Tong broke the city and won. The first formation, Pang Tong knew Lu Xun's method of using troops, so it took much less time, the third formation was faster, and the city was captured in less than half a stick of incense."

Hearing this, Li Yi had a guess in his heart. He looked at Pang Tong and saw that Pang Tong's face was slightly red. The main general was beheaded by Lu Xun, and as for the time spent cough cough, the timer ended before the old man even started."

Li Yi couldn't help laughing, then gave Lu Xun an approving look, and then patted his head, seeing the big from the small, as expected of Lu Boyan who later picked on Liu Bei!

Li Yi asked: "What about the last round, how was the process, was it very tragic?"

Huang Chengyan shook his head, looked at Lu Xun and said, "No, once the city was lost, Lu Xun withdrew and surrendered the city."

Chapter 602 The Biggest Winner

Regarding Lu Xun's surrender in the last round, Li Yi was a little speechless at first, but he immediately understood, and silently gave Lu Xun a thumbs up.

Because it was very wise for them to do this, and Pang Tong suffered a big loss out of nowhere, and it was considered to have regained his position, but after Pang Tong learned this lesson, it is basically impossible to give Lu Xun another chance, and he will only torture him to death. Therefore, if you don't want to seek abuse, admitting defeat is the best choice.

Li Yi smiled for a while and asked, "Could it be that the father-in-law made the peace because Pang Tong's chief general was killed?"

Huang Chengyan said: "In the five battles, none of Lu Xun's main generals was killed. Therefore, although the overall defeat, the performance is remarkable, but that's not enough to make a peace. What really worries me is that the two of them are still alive The difference in troop strength is too much."

Huang Chengyan pointed to the chessboard and said: "Five battles, each side uses [-] soldiers, but because Lu Xun took a defensive position, although more losses than victories, but after five battles, Pang Tong's troops are only [-], and Lu Xun's side is still there. There are more than [-] people."

"So, if today is not just talking about armies on paper, but actually leading troops to attack, Pang Tong attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, and won successive victories. The enemy, or encounters a small defeat, it is easy to be defeated for a thousand miles, or even chaos without a fight."

"As for Lu Xun, even though he lost cities and lands repeatedly, he did not lose people. The main force of soldiers and horses is still there. As long as the dispatching arrangements are proper, it is entirely possible to restore the previous occupation in one fell swoop. However, this is not easy. After losing streak, The morale of the army is dissipated, even if there are many people, but similar to Pang Tong, it is also easy to be defeated at one touch, and it will be completely defeated."

"On the surface of this match, Pang Tong has the upper hand, but in fact, Pang Tong's advantage is only in the first two battles. In the latter part, although Pang Tong still wins more than loses, he actually gives up his own advantages little by little. As for the final outcome, it is hard to tell, so this old man thinks that the match between the two of them is a draw."

After what Huang Chengyan said, everyone present, especially Zhang Xiu and other generals who led the army, all nodded secretly, keeping Huang Chengyan's words in their hearts, and obviously benefited a lot.

Li Yi restrained the smile on his face and looked at Pang Tong and Lu Xun seriously. Pang Tong still had a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, but Li Yi was still calm and seemed to be planning a strategy.

Li Yi thought for a while, and asked Lu Xun, "You have already planned to save your troops, so as to counterattack in one fell swoop and win a complete victory?"

Shaking his head one after another, he replied: "Reporting to Marquis Xiang, what you said was not exactly what Lu Xun thought. In the first battle, Lu Xun knew that he was far inferior to Brother Pang in his use of troops, and he would lose in the battle. Therefore, he could only rely on the terrain of the city. However, Brother Pang's cloth is exquisite, and Lu Xun will soon have no land to borrow. If he continues to fight, he will only waste the lives of soldiers in vain, which is useless. Therefore, in the After the general situation was lost, they simply gathered their troops and allowed Brother Pang to capture the main city. As for what you said, keep your troops and wait for the opportunity to counterattack, which Lu Xun never thought about."

After Lu Xun finished speaking, Li Yi saw that the admiration in Huang Chengyan's eyes was almost undisguised, and Pang Tong's face was not only dissatisfied, but depressed to death.

Li Yi understood this point very well. If Lu Xun calculated carefully and let Pang Tong fall for the trick, and in the end the two sides fought to a tie, then there is nothing to say, Pang Tong is not someone who can't afford to lose.

But the problem is that Lu Xun never thought of plotting against him at all. He just followed his feeling and tied with him based on feeling, which made Pang Tong very difficult to accept.

However, Li Yi felt that Pang Tong's draw was not a loss at all, because Lu Xun was the most terrifying kind of talented player.

A kid in his teens knows how to rely on the terrain to stop the enemy. He can understand that things cannot be done. He decisively gathers his troops and retreats. He does not compete for immediate gains or losses. , On the contrary, he can also perceive the negligence of the opponent, and kill with a single blow with a surprise soldier.

This is just based on feeling, if he really studied the art of war intensively, how could he be so good?

"Not bad!"

Regarding Lu Xun's talent, Li Yi just gave him a "good" evaluation. It's not that Li Yi is stingy, but because he is worried that he will hurt Zhongyong by giving too much praise. The specific education matters are best left to Huang Chengyan and the others. on the go.

Li Yi looked at Pang Tong again, and felt a little bad for a while, because according to the rules of the military deduction of the two, Pang Tong was the winner, but Huang Chengyan gave him a draw considering factors other than the rules However, Pang Tong is older than Lu Xun, has read more books than him, and has more knowledge than him. In such a comparison, Pang Tong has actually lost.

But Li Yi couldn't say that, otherwise he would be suspected of being a bully. After all, this kind of loss was really aggrieved for Pang Tong.

Pang Tong was also looking at Li Yi, he really wanted to know what Li Yi would think.

Li Yi smiled slightly, with an idea in his mind, and then the smile turned into a big laugh. Everyone was puzzled when they saw this, and Huang Chengyan asked, "Why are you laughing, Marquis Xiang?"

Li Yi said in an inscrutable way: "In this match, there is actually a winner."

"Winner"

Huang Chengyan blinked and looked at Li Yi suspiciously. Although Lu Xun performed very well, it would be inappropriate to think that Lu Xun won because of this. This is not like a decision that Li Yi would make.

Pang Tong had a look of regret on his face. From his point of view, Li Yi probably decided that Lu Xun had won, because he knew that Lu Xun's performance was really better than him, regardless of the outcome itself.

Most of the other people had the same idea as Pang Tong, and also thought that Li Yi would think that Lu Xun won.

However, under everyone's gaze, Li Yi reached out and tapped the tip of his own nose, and said with a smile: "You all think wrongly, the winner of this game is actually here."

"Xianghou?"

"My lord?"

Everyone was puzzled, did Li Yi participate in the game, why did he say he was the winner?

This time, even Lu Xun, who had always been calm, had more expressions on his face. Obviously, he couldn't figure it out.

Li Yi reached out and patted Pang Tong's shoulder, then touched Lu Xun's head, and said with a smile: "Although you are still young, you have already performed extraordinary together in the army formation. Even some generals who lead troops are not as good as the two of you. Today, It will be even worse in the future, and one of you is good at attacking cities and pulling out strongholds, and the other is good at defending, forming layers of formations, and can defend against powerful enemies. Hehe, with the two of you, I will be by my side ten years later, relying on each other, Learn from each other's strengths and lead my troops to fight for me, who in the world can be my opponent?"

Hearing Li Yi's words, everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect that the winner Li Yi was referring to was this.

But there were no fools present, Yu Fan was the first to bow and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for meeting a good talent!"

Others were not to be outdone, and congratulated Li Yi one after another, while Pang Tong and Lu Xun had subtle expressions, especially Pang Tong, who felt that it was meaningless to argue with Huang Chengyan about winning or losing.

As for Li Yi directly bringing them under his command, neither of them had any resistance. Pang Tong was sent to the academy, and he was supposed to be handed over to Li Yi. As for Lu Xun, Lu Kang asked them to go to Jingzhou to avoid the disaster of war, instead of going to other places. place, this has already explained many problems.

After meeting Pang Tong and Lu Xun, Li Yi was in a very good mood. At noon that day, he asked someone to arrange a banquet in the academy for all the teachers and officials of the academy.

Pang Tong and Lu Xun were the only two students who participated in it, sitting next to Li Yi. Although Li Yi didn't say anything to praise in public, the treatment alone showed the status of the two in Li Yi's heart.

After the luncheon, Li Yi walked around the academy again, and then returned to Wancheng. After that, there was nothing important to do, and Li Yi was finally really free.

After two days like this, those follow-up people also arrived in Nanyang, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things, but Li Yi didn't pay attention. What he cared about was a news about Yuan Shao sent on the same day.

After Li Yi drove Xu You away that day, he was worried that Xu You would "succumb to the villain first", so Li Yi sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Shao first, stating that Xu You was making troubles in Yangzhou. He couldn't bear it, so he had to send Xu You away. What You drove away was not aimed at Yuan Shao.

In this regard, Yuan Shao had to weigh the pros and cons on the one hand, and at the same time to find out the truth, so Li Yi's messenger naturally stayed. However, after several days passed, Yuan Shao only received a letter from Xu You, Xu You himself But it was nowhere to be seen.

Li Yi didn't know what was said in the letter, but Yuan Shao only saw the person who didn't see Xu You in the letter, so he couldn't help but start thinking wildly, suspecting that Li Yi killed Xu You, after all, Li Yi had a criminal record for killing the envoy .

Although Li Yi's power has reached the point where Yuan Shao is afraid, Yuan Shao will even compromise on some issues due to the situation, but this does not mean that Yuan Shao is really afraid of Li Yi. If Li Yi does too much, Yuan Shao would find a place for everything he said.
