Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking about it, Cao Cao couldn't help laughing, the laughter became louder and louder, and finally he even burst into tears.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao in puzzlement, Xia Houyuan walked up to him and asked softly, "Why is Meng De laughing?"

"hehe"

Cao Cao wiped the corners of his eyes with a smile, waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, and then asked everyone: "Li Yi has more than three times as many troops as I do. Even if he suspects fraud, he should send out thousands of people to test it out, but he doesn't like it." It's very strange to hold back the soldiers, you say, isn't Li Yi'er afraid of me?"

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't understand Cao Cao's logic, but after thinking about it for a while, they found that what Cao Cao said seemed to make sense.

While everyone was still thinking about this issue, Cao Cao got up and said solemnly: "Li Yi, although there are many soldiers and horses, but they are just cowards. , the army is dispatched!"

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for everyone to take orders. After everyone looked at each other for a while, they could only disperse, leaving only Xi Zhong and Xun Yu in the end.

Xi Zhong looked at Xun Yu, wanting to ask something, but saw Xun Yu's sad face, tears in the corners of his eyes, Xi Zhong opened his mouth several times, and finally he only let out a long sigh, and then stared blankly at the bonfire that was about to go out. speech.

Chapter 669 The Talent of Wang Zuo

After Lu Su met Lu Bu, Li Yi seemed to really believe that Lu Bu would honestly hand over Chen Liu's promise. How harmonious and friendly Li Xianghou came to Yanzhou.

No one knows how Lu Bu feels about this, anyway, Li Yi is very happy, and many officials in the city are also very happy, but they are generally happy secretly.

But there is also a troublesome thing, that is, Li Yi has never been able to find out where Cao Cao is hiding. This makes Li Yi angry and vigilant, so the scouts on Li Yi's side have worked hard. He sent more people to expand the scope of patrols, and even Li Yi himself made two trips to urge his subordinates to be diligent.

Don't look at Li Yi's advantages in many aspects now, but Li Yi never dared to underestimate those heroes. He must master the surrounding terrain in the shortest possible time. A disadvantage.

After being busy with these things, Li Yi did not forget to ask someone to burn the dilapidated camp left by Cao Cao. Although Li Yi could not be sure what Cao Cao would do in the future, he burned the camp left by Cao Cao It's always worth it.

So, two days later, Li Yi's scouts finally discovered Cao Cao's team, or more precisely, they appeared in the sight of Li Yi's scouts, and what's even more strange is that they didn't run away, but Drive in the direction of Changyi.

After Li Yi got the news, he naturally didn't dare to neglect, but before he made the arrangement, Cao Cao's envoy came to the door first.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Li Yi's eyes were full of interest, because Li Yi really didn't expect that Cao Cao would send Xun Yu here!

Has Cao Cao forgotten the previous lesson?

Of course, Li Yi didn't plan to do anything to Xun Yu. If Xun Yu was captured during the battle, then you're welcome, but as for the envoys of the Eight Classics, as long as you don't die like Mi Heng and Xu You, Li Yi Still treat each other with courtesy.

Moreover, even though Xun Yu is young, only in his early thirties, but he is the real uncle of Xun You, a middle-aged uncle. No matter what Li Yi does, he still wants to give Xun You face.

Perhaps, this is why Cao Cao dared to send Xun Yu as an envoy.

At this time, Li Yihuo almost got together and gave Xun Yu enough face. Only Xun You was absent, but after Xun You welcomed Xun Yu in with the gift of a junior, he left under the pretext of sorting out his books, which was regarded as avoiding suspicion. Regarding this point, Li Yi naturally wouldn't make things difficult for Xun You.

Inviting Xun Yu to sit down and ordering someone to serve drinks, Li Yi asked with a smile: "Yi heard about it a long time ago, if he is Wang Zuozhi's talent, he admires him the most, but he didn't have the opportunity to talk about it face to face, and it has always been a pity. I don’t want to think that if I actually come to the door in person today, I will know that there are no worthless people under the great name, it will really make me happy, come, I will give you a toast.”

"Frightened"

Li Yi smiled and raised his glass to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu was also very polite, holding the wine glass, he bowed to Li Yi Yao, and then drank the wine.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Yi looked at Xun Yu's expression changes, and found that Xun Yu was really different from others. With his current status, others would unconsciously either respect him or fear him, and then seemed to be attracted by some kind of The halo affects the general, more or less nervous or cramped, but Xun Yu is a rare exception. Even if he is a hostile identity, he always looks calm and behaves calmly, just in response to the sentence "he is forced by him." , the breeze blows the hills", showing the demeanor of a master.

While admiring secretly, Li Yi asked, "I don't know if you came here, why?"

Xun Yu arched his hands at Li Yi, and said: "The Marquis of Xiang has a lot of talents, and there are countless good ministers and generals. The Marquis of Xiang's soldiers and horses are rare elites in the world. Such power is no longer something ordinary people can stop."

Li Yi squinted his eyes and laughed, this flattery was well done and made him feel comfortable, but he didn't believe it at all.

Kuai Yue, Xu Huang and others on the side were even more vigilant in their smiles. As an envoy, Xun Yu praised Li Yi so much when he came up.

Yu Lue saluted Li Yi again to show his admiration, and then continued: "Although Meng De was lucky enough to be appointed by the imperial court to be in charge of Yanzhou affairs, first there was a great change in his family, and then Lv Bu made trouble inside, which made Meng De I was at a loss for a while, and I was at a loss for advance and retreat. After calming down, alas, the counties of Yanzhou are already corrupted."

Xun Yu sighed: "Meng De has the heart to save the people of Yanzhou from fire and water, but his virtue is limited. Even if he is exhausted physically and mentally, he can't make much improvement in the situation in Yanzhou. On the contrary, the continuous wars make the people miserable."

Xun Yu first showed sadness in his eyes, then slowly looked at Li Yi, and said seriously: "Fortunately, the Marquis Xiang went north with the teacher of justice. After Meng De heard about it, he couldn't help but look south every day. Come as soon as possible, and then save the people of Yanzhou from the fire and water as soon as possible."

Li Yi suddenly took a deep breath, traveling for so long, dirty things, shameless things, he has seen a lot, even he himself is the best among them, but after listening to Xun Yu's words today, Li Yi knew , What is a stronger player is a stronger player.

Wang Zuozhi didn't do it!

Although the two sides tacitly did not bring up some embarrassing things for each other, such as the conflict in Xuzhou, such as the family members of Cao Cao detained in Xiangyang, but both sides knew in their hearts how bad the relationship between the two families was.

However, Xun Yu seemed to really not know, and calmly said that Li Yi's invasion came to Yanzhou to send warmth, without the slightest embarrassment or unnaturalness. Regarding this, Li Yi can only say that his own fire It's still too bad.

Ignoring Li Yi's slightly strange voice, Xun Yu continued: "Therefore, upon hearing that the army of the Marquis of Xiang was approaching, Meng De immediately decided to suspend the truce with Lu Bu. , as a show of respect, and wait for the Marquis of Xiang to make all the arrangements, then let Yu meet with the Marquis of Xiang and ask for instructions on the future affairs of Yanzhou."

Li Yi noticed that when Xun Yu said Yanzhou affairs, he used the words to ask for instructions, not to discuss. He couldn't think of whether Cao Cao's posture could be lower than it is now.

Gathering his mind, Li Yi followed the good advice and asked, "So that's the case. I don't know what Meng De wants to ask for advice?"

Xun Yu looked uncomfortable, and replied: "Meng De thinks that he is not capable enough, and he is responsible for the entrustment of the court. Therefore, he hopes that the Marquis of Xiang can take charge of the military administration of Yanzhou, and I hope that Marquis Xiang will not refuse."

Li Yi frowned, and asked again: "What about Meng De, where are you going?"

Xun Yu bowed and said, "Everything depends on the arrangement of the Marquis Xiang!"

"hehe"

Li Yi couldn't help laughing. As a time traveler, he naturally wouldn't believe Cao Cao's surrender. Not to mention that Cao Cao still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. .

It's just that Li Yi was also a little puzzled. He couldn't figure out what Cao Cao's intention was to do this, to paralyze him?A decapitation tactic while he was off guard?

Just when Li Yizheng was suspicious and guessing, Xun Yu took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Meng De knows that Marquis Xiang might be suspicious, here is a letter, Marquis Xiang can understand Meng De's sincerity at a glance."

Li Yi nodded, Dian Wei fetched the letter for Li Yi, opened it, and it was the handwritten letter Yuan Shao wrote to Cao Cao.

Li Yi roughly read the contents of the letter, first secretly said that it was true, and then lamented the ruthlessness of the superiors.

Ever since Yuan Tan sent troops to Qingzhou, Li Yi guessed that Cao Cao might be abandoned, but Li Yi didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so quick. This kind of abandonment was simply burning Cao Cao as firewood.

This also made Li Yi understand why Cao Cao was willing to let Xun Yu come to see him, because with this letter from Yuan Shao, Cao Cao chose to bow his head and surrender in view of Cao Cao's current predicament, and voluntarily asked to be included under his command. Choose wisely.

However, Li Yi is a time traveler.

It is not a cat or a dog who is in trouble today.

Li Yi believes that it is certain that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will be separated, but surrender

Li Yi's face was slightly angry, and he snorted heavily, and said: "Yuan Shao is too deceitful. He hastily interfered in Yanzhou's affairs without the court's permission. He is really ambitious!"

Everyone at the scene counted one by one, and they were all secretly ashamed. If it was said that they interfered in Yanzhou affairs, Li Yi did more than Yuan Shao.

Li Yi didn't care about everyone's little thoughts, he continued to say to Xun Yu: "As the saying goes, you can correct your mistakes, and there is nothing good. Now that Meng De has abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, I should agree. Moreover, although Meng De handled it improperly, it caused endless wars in Yanzhou However, Meng De still has some talents, and Meng De took the lead in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, which shows his loyalty, so "

After pondering for a while, Li Yi said: "There may be a vacancy for the position of prefect of Changsha. I will appoint Meng De as prefect of Changsha after the affairs of Yanzhou. How about it?"

For Xun Yu, when Li Yi mentioned Changsha, the location of Changsha appeared in his mind.

Changsha is connected to Jingnan, and it is also a hub of the Yangtze River. It has developed very well in the past two years, and it has become a cornucopia. But that is because the prefect of Changsha is Cai Mao, and Li Yi has support for Changsha. If the prefect of Changsha is replaced by Cao Cao, it must be Another situation.
