Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It is impossible for Shi Ci not to be moved by Li Yi's attitude, and he is willing to repay Li Yi, but this favor is really too great!

Seeing that Tai Shici was silent, Dian Wei thought he didn't know what to do, and wanted to scold him again, but Li Yi raised his hand to stop him, and Li Yi asked, "Does Ziyi have any concerns, or worry that I will bring up the old matter again in the future? Persecute you?"

Tai Shici hurriedly shook his head and said, "I dare not commit crimes, it's just, just"

Seeing that Tai Shici couldn't explain why, Li Yi frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "Did you hear that Liu Jingsheng, the shepherd of Jingzhou, sent assassins to kill me several times?"

Tai Shici was stunned for a while, but still said: "Sin Jiang has heard a little bit about it."

Li Yi said with a smile: "The first few times are fine, but the last time, the mastermind was Jingzhou Biejia, Kuai Yue, who sent someone to kill me with poison, and he almost succeeded, but now he is my right-hand man." military adviser."

Tai Shici's face was filled with disbelief!

Of course, he knew Kuai Yue's name. At the beginning, Li Yi's right-hand men in the official circle were Jia Xu and Guo Jia, but gradually, although Li Yi's reliance on those two people has not declined, but in the eyes of outsiders, Now, Kuai Yue has come from behind, and has become the second person beside Li Yi, which can be described as a high position and weight.

It turned out that such a person actually assassinated Li Yi, and he was the most despicable poisoner, which was much more serious than Tai Shici's cold arrow.

Although Leng Jian was plotting secretly, it was a matter on the battlefield after all. If it succeeded, Tai Shici would be a hero, and Kuai Yue, even if he succeeded, probably he would be ashamed to say it.

Seeing Tai Shici's stunned look, Li Yi smiled and said: "At that time, I was passing through Yuzhou, and when I met Ziyi for the first time, I knew that Ziyi was a rare general, and I admired him so much, but because of the situation at that time, It's really impossible to recruit, and I know that Ziyi is a human being, and I can't do that kind of betrayal, so I can only shelve my thoughts until now. This time I sent troops to Yuzhou for three purposes, one is for Yuzhou itself, and the other is It was because of the enmity with Kong Rong, and in the end, it was for General Ziyi!"

"I, the criminal"

Tai Shici was still muttering, but Li Yi was a little anxious, and grabbed Tai Shici's arm, but Tai Shici never thought that Li Yi would have such great strength, even though he was very skilled in martial arts, he was still defeated by Li Yi. Yi picked it up all at once.

"Come out with me!"

Li Yi dragged Tai Shici out of the yard, out of the gate, and then pointed to the street, where many people gathered, and then he heard Li Yi say: "Did you see, our army is broken?" After the city, not only did they not commit crimes against the people, but they did not seize their belongings, but distributed three-day food rations to every household in the city as a way of comforting them, is this considered benevolent and righteous?"

Although it was a question, Li Yi did not give Tai Shici time to answer. He followed up and said: "I sent troops to Yuzhou in such a hurry, and went straight to Qiao County all the way. Why didn't I dare to rest? It was just to try not to delay the spring plowing I don’t want the common people to be too young to pick up. When tomorrow, there will be officials patrolling the city and urging the common people to plow in the spring. Tell me, how many people in the world care about the common people as much as I do, like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao? ?”

"Of course, there are also people who love the people in the world, such as Tao Qian and even Kong Rong. It's a pity that although they have kind hearts, they don't know what the people want, and in today's troubled times, they have no means to protect the people. , the common people are bound to be slaughtered, as evidenced by the previous tragedy in Xuzhou."

"So, the world is so big, there is both love for the people and the power to protect the people. I am the only one. If you help me, you will do your best for the people of the world. In the end, you will be able to glorify the lintel and the descendants of Yu Yin. Are you happy?"

Although Li Yi boasted a lot in this call, he was not flushed or out of breath, but Tai Shici's face turned red as if he had done something wrong.

Li Yi looked at Tai Shici, and finally said: "The words have come to this point, if you still don't understand, and you would rather turn into a dry bone than contribute to this world, then I, Li Yi, have admitted the wrong person, and you can do it yourself." Cut it off!"

After all, Li Yi waved his sleeves and made a gesture to leave, but Tai Shici finally couldn't stand it anymore, and knelt down, his eyes seemed powerless, but also relieved, and slowly cupped his hands and said: "The criminal! Let this Your life is in the hands of the Marquis Xiang!"

Chapter 659 Yuzhou Inspector, Governor

Li Yi was very happy to subdue Tai Shici, but he also felt a little regretful in his heart.

The generals under Li Yi's command can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type is represented by people like Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, and Xu Sheng. They have their own strengths and strengths in terms of talents, but the same thing is that they are all loyal to Li Yi, not only can shed blood for Li Yi , and can carry out any order of Li Yi without a doubt. Correspondingly, what Li Yi reveals when facing them is also the most authentic side of himself.

The ceiling of these people is very high. When there is a right opportunity, Li Yi will give them priority. As long as they can make meritorious service, Li Yi will spare no effort to increase their ranks.

The ceiling of the second type of people is a little lower, such as He Qi, Zhang Xiu, and Chen Dao. They are also more loyal to Li Yi, and Li Yi also trusts them, but because of time spent together, or their own three Look, Li Yi can't rest assured of them without scruples for the time being, so Li Yi may reuse it, for example, let Zhang Xiu be the pioneer this time, but if Zhang Xiu doesn't want to find a way to increase Li Yi's favorability, This pioneer is basically the pinnacle of his life.

As for the last ones, Sun Ben, Ling Cao, and Xu Kun are all capable people, but they haven't reached the point where Li Yi needs to be moved. In addition, their backgrounds are somewhat problematic, so Although Li Yi would appoint them for the sake of harmony, he gave them real trust very well.

Correspondingly, the ceiling of these people is relatively low, and there are few opportunities. Basically, the middle level in the army is their end point. If they want to go further, unless some accidental events happen, they can only hope for the next generation. .

And Tai Shici, the number one fighter in the middle of the Three Kingdoms, was unfortunately put into the second category by Li Yi.

Although Tai Shici is very grateful to Li Yi because of Li Yi's avoidance of death, it is not a problem to block the knife for Li Yi at the critical moment, but Tai Shici is a person with relatively righteous views. In his eyes, there are too many things that need Those who are better than fame and wealth, even better than himself, Li Yi admires this kind of person very much, even admires him, but he is a rebel leader, Tai Shici is both lucky and unfortunate to meet Li Yi.

After accepting Tai Shici, Li Yi graciously asked Tai Shici to go back to Qingzhou to pick up his old mother. This is Li Yi's sincerity, because this is basically giving Tai Shici the opportunity to cheat.

However, Tai Shici's integrity was revealed at this time.

Tai Shici first asked Li Yi if he would continue to go north to fight Cao Cao. After Li Yi nodded, Tai Shici firmly stated that it was kindness for Li Yi to save him from death, and Li Yi would have another big battle in the future. If he leaves at this time , is injustice, not a gentleman!

Therefore, he must first follow Li Yi to fight Cao Cao, and then return to his hometown to pick up his mother after the battle in Yanzhou is over.

Li Yi didn't want to do this, but under Tai Shici's repeated insistence, he agreed, and by the way, he arranged a task for Tai Shici, asking him to assist Huang Zhong in reorganizing the Yuzhou Army tomorrow, with the purpose of selecting some elites from the Yuzhou Army , Followed his army to Yanzhou to fight Cao Cao.

After explaining this, Li Yi said goodbye and left. Although Qiao County has been taken, there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up. At least for the first two or three days, Li Yi will not be free.

Then, to Li Yi's surprise, he had just entered the main hall of the other courtyard, and found that besides his subordinate Wu, Kong Rong was also there.

Different from the personable person when we first met, today Kong Rong looks very embarrassed, with disheveled hair, not to mention blood stains on his body, and a lot of mud and black ash on his clothes, which are stuck to it. Look sloppy.

When Li Yi came in, there was naturally some movement, but Kong Rong closed his eyes, snorted softly, and didn't even look at Li Yi, with a look of disdain on his face, as if Li Yi was overwhelmed.

But Li Yi felt that Kong Rong's behavior was more like deception.

Li Yi glanced around, and said to He Qi: "Gong Miao, you are responsible for the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, and you also found Kong Rong, right?"

"It's the subordinate!"

He Qi hurriedly responded, and then said with a slightly strange expression: "The fire in the governor's mansion was too big before, and it was only extinguished at nightfall. Some people who helped put out the fire were resting in the yard, and then one person heard the sound of chewing. At first, he thought it was a hamster. Hearing it again, it was similar to a human voice, so the man reported the strange situation to the soldiers in the army. The soldiers searched for the sound and found a secret cellar, and then saw Kong Rong hiding in it. I'm eating cake."

After He Qi said that, some people couldn't help laughing out loud, and Li Yi also looked weird.

In Li Yi's view, even if someone like Kong Rong is defeated, whether he dies or surrenders, he should be more decent. So after hearing that the governor's mansion was on fire, Li Yi thought that Kong Rong was just like Yuan Shu. It never occurred to him that although he burned the governor's mansion, he hid himself.

This really made Li Yi unable to complain.

Kong Rong still stood there motionless, without saying a word, but his face was flushed, obviously he was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Seeing Kong Rong like this, Li Yi couldn't help but said: "I can understand that you want to live, but why did you burn down the governor's mansion? Do you know how much it will cost to restore this mansion alone?" Human and material resources?"

Li Yi was really distressed. Every plant and tree in the city belonged to him. As a result, Kong Rong burned down the landmark building, and Li Yi was naturally upset.

Kong Rong turned around slightly and pointed the back of his head at Li Yi, apparently not intending to answer this question.

"Lord."

At this moment, He Qi added softly: "After putting out the fire, the soldiers found several corpses that looked strange, so they invited the medical officer to come and check, and it was basically confirmed that most of them were women and children, and they were on fire. Before, he was killed."

"There is such a thing?"

Li Yi's eyes showed surprise, and when he looked at Kong Rong again, his eyes were a little disgusted.

When the general situation is over, in order not to humiliate themselves and their families, there are not a few people who kill their wives and children, and then commit suicide.

What impressed Li Yi the most was Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bei’s grandson Liu Chen. Needless to say, the former was the one who would rather die than be humiliated when Liu Chan decided to surrender. Yi is very admired.

Therefore, if Kong Rong could be like Liu Chen today, Li Yi would also sigh as a hero, and then add soil to his grave.

But Kong Rong is fine, his wife and children are dead, and he hid himself in a hole in the ground, what is this?

Li Yi snorted coldly, and couldn't help but want to humiliate Kong Rong, but Kong Rong seemed to be aware of it, and shouted before Li Yi said: "After Zhongliang, I would rather die than be humiliated by thieves!"
