Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"I see"

Liu Yao nodded slightly, but he was thinking about the possible hidden meaning in Dian Wei's words.

At this moment, Zhu Hao who was at the side suddenly asked, "I don't know what the name is for the Marquis Xiang to send troops to Yanzhou, but does the court agree?"

Dian Wei glanced at Zhu Hao, and probably guessed the identity of the other party, but he still asked, "Who do you dare to ask?"

Zhu Hao raised his chest and raised his head, and said word by word: "A general who seeks rebellion, Zhu Hao!"

Dian Wei nodded pretending to be surprised, and then said: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it!"

The expression on Zhu Hao's face froze immediately.

Although Zhu Hao doesn't have any outstanding achievements, his father is amazing. In normal times, even Li Jue and Guo Si would give him some face, but this is good, Dian Wei, a reckless guy from a reckless background, gave him a sentence that he didn't know. , this is simply

Zhu Hao's face was flushed red, his fists were loose and tight, tight and loose, if it wasn't for the upbringing of his family, if it wasn't for the wrong place, he really wanted to make a few gestures with Dian Wei and teach this arrogant person a lesson.

At this moment, Dian Wei gave Zhu Hao a squinting look, as if showing disdain. Zhu Hao felt his heart go up, but he held back in the end, gritted his teeth, and tried not to look at Dian Wei. .

Dian Wei was a little disappointed about this. He deliberately provoked Zhu Hao because Li Yi wanted to keep Zhu Hao in Yingchuan. Therefore, Dian Wei must start to make trouble for the other party now, to accumulate hatred, and to make future conflicts easier. It is more reasonable, but although Zhu Hao is a second generation, he is not the kind without brains, and he did not lose his composure because of Dian Wei's anger.

Glancing at Zhu Hao again, Dian Wei replied: "Cao Cao killed hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou indiscriminately. Such a treacherous and wicked person, everyone in the world can punish him. Isn't that enough reason?"

Zhu Hao looked serious, shook his head and said: "Whether Cao Cao is a big treacherous or not, this matter should be decided by the court. However, Marquis Xiang sent troops to Yanzhou without the court's approval, but it really broke the court rules."

Dian Wei couldn't help but sneered, and said: "At that time, Tao Shijun of Xuzhou wrote to the imperial court for help, but the imperial court ignored Cao Cao's evil deeds, and there has been no response until now. Cao Cao might have killed Xuzhou if he acted righteously, but now, you don’t want to stand up for those innocent people, but instead ask why my lord is attacking Cao Cao, it’s really ridiculous!"

"you!"

Zhu Hao was furious, but followed Dian Wei and said: "The people my lord sends troops to attack are all treacherous and evil people. Dian Wei doesn't know how the court thinks about it, but the people understand it in their hearts. , As for General Zhu, I don’t know whether he really doesn’t understand, or pretends not to understand!”

"Also, Dian felt that instead of defending Cao Cao, General Zhu might as well go to Hebei to have a look. Yuan Shao fought Gongsun Zan, but he didn't get permission from the imperial court. Some of the disaster victims in Hebei even fled to Jingzhou. Tens of thousands of people are in dire straits, if the general has a heart, he might as well go and mediate for a while, and maybe he can win a good name in the end."

"you!"

Dian Wei's words sounded reasonable at first glance, but to the person concerned, every sentence in them seemed to be sarcasm. Zhu Hao, no matter how good-tempered he was, was still a leader of the army. As soon as his head was hot, he was about to draw his sword, but Liu Yao took the first step and held Zhu Hao's wrist, and then said to Dian Wei: "I only heard of General Dian Wei's bravery before, and I don't want to have such knowledge. It shows that the general has a kind heart, and Liu Yao admires him."

Dian Wei regretted Liu Yao's blocking, but Li Yi also said that he could not directly target Liu Yao for the time being, so he could only go down the slope and replied, "I dare not do it."

Liu Yao said again: "We are going back to the camp outside the city. General Dian Wei is not as good as going with us. How about it?"

Dian Wei replied: "That's natural, and Dian came from there."

Liu Yao nodded to show that he understood, and then stretched out his hand to signal Dian Wei to go first.

Dian Wei bowed his hands, and led the guards out of the city gate. After a little distance, Zhu Hao gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is too deceitful!"

At this time, Liu Yao had lost the indifference before, his face was very solemn, and he said: "Dian Wei's visitor was not kind, and he just deliberately provoked Ming, Ming must be patient and don't fall into his trap."

Zhu Hao was startled, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"I thought the worst would be that Li Yi wanted to kill us, but now it seems that Li Yi's plan is not as simple as killing someone."

Liu Yao took a deep look at Dian Wei, and said: "Although I don't know why the other party came, I feel very uneasy. When I go back, I must restrain the people who accompany me. If the other party provokes me, don't pay attention to it. Don't argue with me for a while." Please remember, your personal life and death are small matters, but if you delay the important affairs of the court, you will be blamed for death."

Although Zhu Hao was angry, seeing Liu Yao's words were so serious, he could only suppress his anger and said, "Don't worry about Zhengli, I just ignore him, but what exactly is Li Yi going to do?"

Liu Yao shook his head. He really couldn't think of what Li Yi could get from him. As for sending troops to Yuzhou, Liu Yao didn't think about that at all, because Li Yiming was targeting Cao Cao on the surface, and normal people would not think that Li Yi would At this time, divide the troops to deal with Yuzhou.

When Liu Yao and his party walked halfway, they met a person from his own family who reported that it was exactly what Dian Wei had brought people to camp beside them.

After Liu Yao returned to the place, he saw that there was an extra group of troops around his camp, about two thousand, not too many, but when Liu Yao approached, he found that the group of troops were all elites, and sent him to the camp. It must be no problem to swallow hundreds of people.

As a result, Liu Yao became more and more worried.

In the next few days, Dian Weiguo, as he himself said, began to escort Liu Yao and others. The actual escort, except for the frequent expression of disdain when in contact with Zhu Hao and Zhang Ying, did not There is no other act of transgression, and as for Liu Yao himself, he is even more respectful, so that no one can say anything wrong.

But Liu Yao's life was not easy. For several days, his brows did not loosen.

Until Liu Yao and Dian Wei came to Linying, Linying is one of the counties in the east of Yingchuan. If you go further from here, you will soon enter the boundary of Runan.

After setting up the camp that day, Liu Yao called Zhu Hao and others to his side, and said with a serious face, "You guys pack your bags immediately, don't disturb others, and immediately follow me out of the camp quietly after nightfall tonight, and rush to the camp overnight. Runan, otherwise I'm afraid you will be killed!"

Zhu Hao and the others were startled immediately, and at the same time they were very puzzled. Zhu Hao asked, "Why is this? Although Dian Wei has provoked many times, I have already killed the key point, so why wait until now?"

Liu Yao paced back and forth, and said a little anxiously: "Today, during the day, I asked Dian Wei, and I learned that Li Yi's general Xu Huang had already driven towards Chenliu, but Li Yi himself was still sitting in Xu County. You say, he is Why?"

Zhu Hao and the others looked at each other, not knowing what Liu Yao was referring to. Liu Yao continued, "Li Yi used troops in the past and always led the main force himself, but this time it is obviously different from the past, so I am worried."

A trace of hesitation flashed in Liu Yao's eyes, but he finally said, "I'm worried that he might be bad for Yuzhou!"

Chapter 637 The General Is a Loyal Man

"what!"

"how can that be!"

"Yanzhou still has Cao Cao. If Li Yi divides his forces, how can Cao Cao stand by and watch?"

Everyone questioned Liu Yao's judgment, but Liu Yao's just one sentence made them quiet.

I only heard Liu Yao ask: "If someone else is in Yuzhou, Li Yi will not dare to act like this. However, Kong Rong is the one who is in charge now. Yingchuan has already surrendered. If Li Yi attacks Yuzhou again, how long can Kong Rong resist?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay at first, but soon after, their faces gradually turned pale.

Liu Yao sighed and said, "I received Kong Rong's letter the day before yesterday, and judging from its meaning, Kong Rong certainly hated Li Yi to the bone, but he was also worried that Yuzhou's combat power was weak and he did not dare to fight Li Yi head-on, so he pinned his hopes on Li Yi. I wait for him, and hope that after we arrive in Yuzhou, we will take over the military affairs of Yuzhou and preside over the situation in Yingchuan for him.”

The muscles on Liu Yao's cheeks twitched a few times at this time. He was unwilling to speak ill of others, but this time he couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Kong Rong has a good idea, but he But he shouldn't just wait. Now Yuzhou's soldiers and horses are mostly concentrated in Qiao County, which is useless. The land adjacent to Yingchuan Township is common, and there is no conscription at all. He may be worried that he will be annexed by Li Yi if he sends troops rashly. But I don't think about it, such inaction is simply opening the door and stealing, giving up half of Runan!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yao couldn't help but punched a few cases hard, he was also very angry, Kong Rong has a great reputation, but he doesn't understand military at all, and the people he uses are not good at it, otherwise How could such a big flaw be exposed.

Taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Liu Yao continued, "According to the situation in Yuzhou, and contacting Li Yi's abnormal behavior, I really have to suspect that Li Yi is planning to send troops to Yuzhou."

Zhu Hao said with a serious face: "From Zhengli's words, I also think that Li Yi may have plots against Yuzhou, but why should we run away overnight? Although Dianwei provoked a lot along the way, he did not delay you and me." As for the itinerary, if there is nothing wrong with it, wouldn't our escape make Li Yi vigilant instead?"

"It makes sense."

Liu Yao nodded first, and then said: "A few days ago when we camped, Dian Wei was always side by side with us, but since last night, he has blocked the camp in front of us. What's the meaning of that?"

Zhu Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Prevent me from leaving without saying goodbye?"

"I'm afraid so."

With a cold look in Liu Yao's eyes, he said in a low voice: "Li Yi will send troops to Yuzhou, and he must arrange one or two in advance. It will take time. If he attacks you and me from the beginning, it will be a warning to Kong Rong. Kong Rong has no hope. , and can only fight Li Yi hard, but now it is different. Li Yi's arrangement is probably almost the same. If you and I are removed now, not only will you avoid worries, but you will also be able to catch Yuzhou by surprise. They didn't want us to leave Yuzhou from the beginning."

At this time, no one doubted Liu Yao's words anymore. They believed that Li Yi was going to kill them, and everyone was shocked and angry. Zhu Hao couldn't help but angrily scolded: "This traitor, if he really acts like this, he will never do it again. Don't put the emperor in your eyes anymore, how can he be worthy?"

Zhu Hao originally wanted to scold Li Yi for being worthy of the emperor and the court, but thinking about how Li Yi started his career, he really didn't owe the court much, so the following words were a bit difficult to scold.
