Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao was able to become the shepherd of Yanzhou. In fact, he was lucky enough to pick up a bargain. Don’t think that Cao Cao is very powerful in the eyes of later generations. After Cao Cao took control of Yanzhou, he pursued a strategy of strengthening himself instead of focusing on Yanzhou's own interests. This caused a fundamental conflict of interest between Cao Cao and a considerable number of Yanzhou people. In the process of resolving conflicts, , Cao Cao's methods were quite tough, and he killed many famous people. Therefore, the Yanzhou family wanted to change Yanzhou to a controllable spokesperson, and then Lu Bu, a warrior, came into their sight.

However, although people thought well that with Lu Bu as a super thug, Yanzhou would be safe and sound in the future, but the development of the war was unexpected. Lu Bu was very powerful, but Cao Cao was more resilient. Qiankun's battle for Yanzhou actually took two years. During these two years, although the people of Yanzhou were displaced and suffered unspeakably, those aristocratic families also suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the economic losses, it was because of the inappropriate standing in the team. There are not a few people who were killed and ruined their families.

This battle that took place in Yanzhou, no matter whether it was for Cao Cao, Lu Bu, or the Yanzhou family, there was no winner.

If God gave these Yanzhou aristocratic families a chance, they would 100% not oppose Cao Cao, because the war is too cruel, and there will be no eggs under the nest, so what about the aristocratic families?The same is not immune.

Therefore, although Li Yi's sudden strong intervention was unexpected and made many people uneasy, for Yanzhou, which has been in turmoil for a long time, Li Yi has brought them the long-awaited stability. This alone is enough Let many aristocratic families who didn't like Li Yi accept him.

As for those who are already optimistic about Li Yi, it is even less of a problem.

After observing for a while, Li Yi saw that Yu Fan's joint activity was progressing quite smoothly. He felt that he should do something, so he brought his left and right protectors and began to toast "wine" with everyone. He is not very A proud person, who has shown enough strength before, naturally wants to show his gentle side now.

After paying respects to several people, Li Yi came to the old man named Li Jin.

"Old sir, please."

Li Yi raised his glass with a smile on his face. He had a good impression of Li Jin. After all, he was the first to express his support. Moreover, although Li Jin was a little older, his temperament was very outstanding, and he was very different from those in the officialdom. People are different, so Li Yi likes it very much and is also very curious.

"Thank you, Marquis Xiang."

Li Jin got up and clinked glasses with Li Yi, drank it all, and then said: "I have a little money in my family, and just now I heard that Marquis Xiang intends to help the people of Yanzhou. I feel that I should give some Li Yi to the elders in my hometown. Therefore, I would like Donate all the food stored in the family, less than [-] shi, to the Marquis Xiang, and ask the Marquis Xiang not to refuse."

Li Yi couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face. Li Jin's handwriting is really too big. If he shows his favor, it is enough to stand in line before. Even if he wants to give food and grass, five thousand or ten thousand is enough. Too much is not enough. Not good, in the end, Li Jin gave them all as soon as he opened his mouth, which was a little too enthusiastic.

Does the old man want to climb relatives?Li Yi thought very maliciously.

As if he noticed the suspicion in Li Yi's eyes, Li Jin gave a wry smile, bowed slightly, and said frankly: "To tell you the truth, the old man was invited to the banquet this time, and I actually have one more thing to ask."

Hearing Li Jin's request, Li Yi felt that this was normal, so he asked with a smile: "What is the old man's request, just be blunt, if you can, Li will not refuse."

Li Yi's words were very polite, but in fact he didn't agree to anything. Everything depends on what the old man will say next. Li Jin also understands this truth, but a person in his seventies has experienced a lot of storms, and Without showing any displeasure, he thought for a while and said, "The old man has actually heard about the name of Marquis Xiang a long time ago. It wasn't just a rumor in the market, but he heard it from an old friend."

Li Yi asked curiously: "Dare to ask the name of the old gentleman's friend, Yi Ke knows him?"

Li Jin said slowly: "Tong Yuan, Marquis Xiang should recognize him."

Li Yi was taken aback, then he took a step back, and looked at Li Jin carefully again. This is true, although Li Jin's hair and beard are gray, but his blood is very vigorous, and his body's skeleton and muscles show no sign of weakening, I'm afraid I'll wait a few minutes The young man couldn't beat him. If he dyed his hair, Li Jin would be fine at 40.

Li Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be the friend of the gun king. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Li Jin hurriedly returned the gift, and then continued: "I and Tong Yuan have been good friends for many years. When we were young, we often practiced martial arts, and we also traveled around together. Hou Fei is an ordinary person, and he suggested that if my nephew wants to become an official, he can go to Jingzhou and join the Marquis Xiang."

Speaking of this, Li Jin suddenly showed regret on his face, and sighed: "It's just a coincidence. At that time, Cao Cao heard that the children of the old man's family were a little talented, so he ordered the conquest, so he couldn't go to Jingzhou smoothly. Alas, this matter is very serious. It's a pity."

Hearing this, Li Yi had roughly guessed Li Jin's request, so he asked with a smile: "I don't know the name of that junior, old man?"

Li Jin took a look at Li Yi, and then replied: "Li Gan, he served as a partial general in Cao Cao's army. This time, Marquis Xiang defeated Cao Cao. My ineffective nephew should have been captured by Marquis Xiang."

Speaking of this, Li Jin couldn't help showing a trace of worry on his originally calm old face, obviously afraid that Li Yi would clean up Li Gan.

However, Li Jin was obviously overwhelmed, and Li Yi smiled and said, "So, although General Li Qian was defeated, I have always treated each other with courtesy and never neglected it. The family is safe, but since the old man is here today, I will ask someone to bring him to meet the old man later."

With that said, Li Yi beckoned to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu hurried to Li Yi's side, clasped his fists and asked, "Master, what's your order?"

Li Yi pointed to Li Jin, and said, "This is your master's friend and the elder of General Li Gan's clan. You can invite General Li Gan to meet you later, so that the old man can rest assured."

Zhang Xiu showed surprise, and asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, but is it Uncle Li from Chengshi County?"

He was more reserved towards Zhang Xiu and Li Jin, just nodded slightly, and said, "It's the old man."

Zhang Xiu hastily saluted and said: "Junior Zhang Xiu, I have met my uncle."

Li Jin stretched out his hand to help Zhang Xiu up, but he didn't continue to speak to Zhang Xiu, and he didn't even look at him, his expression was obviously cold.

At the beginning Zhang Xiu was young and vigorous, and after he gained fame, he called himself the spear king of the Northland. He was a little disrespectful to his teacher. Later, Li Yi sued him again, saying that Zhang Xiu was a slave to a tiger and slaughtered the people. Tong Yuan didn't want to see Zhang Xiu anymore. That is to say, the two did not meet, otherwise Zhang Xiu might have been expelled from the door.

As Tong Yuan's friend, Li Jin naturally didn't like this nephew very much. If Li Yi wasn't there, he probably wouldn't have paid attention to Zhang Xiu at all.

Zhang Xiu also noticed Li Jin's indifference, and his expression was rather helpless. Fortunately, Li Yi soon discovered this, so he hurriedly sent Zhang Xiu to call for someone, then changed the subject, and asked, "Excuse me, Is there a young man in the old gentleman's family who is famous as Li Dian?"

Li Jin looked at Li Yi with a look of surprise on his face, and said, "How did the Marquis Xiang know that Li Dian is the grandson of this old man."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Li has a little knowledge of the sky. When he entered Yanzhou, he made calculations and learned that there was a shining general in Chengshi County. Now he happened to see the old man, so I asked this question."

Li Jin didn't think that Li Yi was talking nonsense. There were many rumors about Li Yi's supernatural powers. Even Tong Yuan, known as the king of spears, admitted that he couldn't take Li Yi's move head-on, saying that Li Yi was inhuman, and Li Yi was short. Li Yi even felt that it would be strange if Li Yi didn't have some unusual abilities to build such a large family business in time.

Li Jin bowed and said: "It is Li Dian's blessing to be favored by Marquis Xiang. If Marquis Xiang is interested, I will write a letter and call him here to serve Marquis Xiang in front of the battle!"

Regarding Li Dian's arrangement, Li Jin did not hesitate at all. He is one of those people who are really optimistic about Li Yi, and he really wants to get closer to Li Yi. Since Li Yi pointed out that Li Dian is a general, such a good opportunity How could he miss it?

Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, old man. Although Li Dian has general talent, rough jade needs to be carved to make it into a tool. After the old man goes back, he might as well see what he thinks. If he wants, I can write a letter to recommend it. He went to Nanyang Academy to study, and then served in the army."

"Thank you, Marquis Xiang, everything will be arranged by Marquis Xiang!"

Li Jin directly agreed to Li Yi's request, Li Yi paid so much attention to it, he was not too confused, how could he hesitate?As for Li Dian's own opinion, it doesn't matter at all, the elders of this era are the absolute authority in the family.

Li Yi said a few more words to Li Jin, and when he saw Zhang Xiu brought Li Gan in, Li Yi went on to the next person and continued to toast.

Although Li Yi and Li Jin talk more affectionately, Li Qian is a prisoner after all. It is inappropriate for Li Yi to be too polite or too serious to him. It is more appropriate to simply ignore him for the time being. We can only ask him to ask for blessings.

Li Yi continued to clink and communicate with the gentry officials, and by the way, made a rough judgment, picked out those that aroused his interest, or made him feel uncomfortable just by looking at them, and then handed them over to his subordinates to make arrangements.

It didn't take much time for Li Yi to come to the end on the left side of the lobby. There was only one person left who had not clinked glasses with Li Yi, and this person seemed unwilling to clink glasses with Li Yi, because Li Yi had come In front of that person, the other person still sat still with his head bowed, completely ignoring Li Yi.

Dian Wei immediately wanted to scold the other party for being rude, but Li Yi waved his hand to signal Dian Wei not to get excited.

This person was the county magistrate Zhang who had been hostile to Li Yi many times before. Although Li Yi didn't notice him at first, but the number of times was too many, it was difficult for Li Yi not to pay attention to him.

Moreover, Dian Wei told Li Yi that the county magistrate Zhang was very hostile, but he was in a hurry. Apart from knowing that the county magistrate Zhang was called Zhang Wang, there was no other information for the time being. Naturally, he didn't know why Zhang Wang had feelings for Li Yi Opinion.

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Wang. This guy is in his 30s. He is currently serving as the magistrate of Fangyu County. Its handsome man's true colors.

Unlike Liu Biao and Yuan Shao, who are beautiful men supported by their personal temperament, this Wang is really good-looking.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yi cares more about Zhang Wang. Otherwise, Li Yi would probably not pay attention to Zhang Wang's attitude alone. Anyway, someone will naturally dismiss him afterwards.

Li Yi stood still for a moment, seeing that Zhang Wang still turned a blind eye to him, he was curious, and asked, "Zhang Wang, why don't you stand up and salute when I come to you?"

Zhang Wang took a deep breath, stood up, and faced Li Yi, his eyes were red, as if he had just shed tears, there was hatred in his eyes, but at the same time he was still struggling, and even his body was trembling slightly.

Li Yi was very uncomfortable seeing Zhang Wang's appearance, so he didn't speak.

However, Dian Wei keenly noticed that Zhang Wang's right hand was not moving properly, trembling, as if he was groping for something, so Dian Wei fixed his eyes and suddenly shouted: "Bold!"

Following the voice, Dian Wei stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Wang's wrist like lightning. At the same time, Xu Chu also stepped forward to stand between Li Yi and Zhang Wang.

This change was too sudden, Li Yi was about to ask what was going on, Dian Wei had already got the result, and saw Dian Wei grabbed Zhang Wang's arm like catching a chicken, Zhang Wang struggled and cried out in pain, but It didn't work at all, and then Dian Wei grabbed Zhang Wang's sleeve and pulled it hard, the sleeve burst, and then with a clang, a dagger fell to the ground.
