Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"What my father-in-law said is true!"

Li Yi nodded heavily, and continued: "In addition, I want the court to think that what I want is only Jingyang and Yangzhou, not the whole world, so that the court should be able to watch for a few years, otherwise, the court will inevitably balance me and Yuan Shao. Although I am not afraid, it is troublesome, I wonder if my father-in-law can teach me?"

Fu Wan glanced at Li Yi with a slight complaint, and said: "Since you want to win the trust of the emperor, why did you cut off the court's offering before and make the emperor resent you?"

Li Yi smiled awkwardly, and said: "Isn't it because the imperial court sent officials to Yangzhou one after another at that time, and I couldn't be more angry."

Fu Wan shook his head and smiled, secretly thinking that Li Yi is a young man after all, although his vision and methods are first-class, but in some things, he is still a little childish.

After stroking his beard, he said: "The old man has a way to restore your relationship with the emperor. By the way, it will prevent the old man from returning empty-handed this time, so that he can speak for you in front of the emperor later."

Li Yi hurriedly asked, "What way?"

"Because the imperial court appointed officials, you did not allow Jing Yang to pay tribute to the imperial court, but now you have Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Qingzhou in the future, so you can ask people to resume offering to the imperial court in the name of officials from these four prefectures. This shows that what you really want is Jingyang and the other states, while the rest of the Central Plains are only for temporary use."

Li Yi hesitated: "It's not a problem to resume worshiping the court, but can the court trust me easily?"

Fu Wan laughed and said: "Of course the imperial court doesn't believe it, but the situation is stronger than others, so what if you don't believe it? What's more, there is an old man secretly guiding, so it is not difficult for the imperial court to sit on the sidelines for the time being."

The more Li Yi thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he cupped his hands again and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

Fu Wan shook his head and said: "You don't have to thank me, alas, I have been idle all my life, and it is only right for Lin Lao to contribute some strength to this world."

Li Yi praised without hesitation: "My father-in-law is so righteous, and my son-in-law admires him so much!"

Chapter 698 Show the enemy is weak?

Fu Wan felt a little uncomfortable, Li Yi praised him, not only was he not happy, but he always felt that he was at a disadvantage.

Shaking his head slightly, Fu Wan said: "It's probably like this. As long as you show the court that you have good intentions, I will try my best to help you and try to prevent Chang'an from holding you back before you take all of Hebei."

Li Yicheng bowed sincerely: "Thank you, father-in-law!"

Fu Wan smiled and said: "Don't talk about such nonsense, if you really have the heart, you can save more face for the old man when you speak in the future."

Li Yi sneered, and Fu Wan followed and said: "It's not early, you should go back too, and we are not too close, otherwise people in Chang'an will inevitably think too much."

Li Yi nodded and said: "Everything is according to what my father-in-law said, so my son-in-law will retire now, and I will come back tomorrow to pay my respects to my father-in-law."

Fu Shou waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, you've already stayed here for a long time, you should go to Xuzhou soon, right? I won't delay you, and it's rare for me to come out, and I want to drop by Xiangyang to see At first glance, alas, it has been several years, and Shouer has followed you."

Having said that, Fu Wan fell silent, and suddenly he understood why he disliked Li Yi so much.

Li Yi didn't pay attention to the change in Fu Wan's expression. Instead, after Fu Wan said he was going to Xiangyang, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of a very bad situation.

With a dry cough, Li Yi said: "My father-in-law can go to Xiangyang, and my son-in-law will welcome me, and Shou'er will be happy too. It's just cough, can my father-in-law hide a thing or two from Shou'er?"

When Fu Wan heard this, he felt even more upset. He was so angry that he was dizzy, why can't he complain to his daughter?

Li Yi also felt that this request was too much, so he could only apologize and said with a smile: "I am mainly afraid that Shou'er will be careless, and that is not good after all."

"Okay, the old man knows."

Fu Wan endured it and didn't have an attack, but the depression in his words was very obvious.

"In this way, the son-in-law will not disturb his father-in-law's rest."

After Li Yi finished speaking, he bowed and left Fu Wan's room.

And when Fu Wan heard Li Yi's footsteps disappear, his originally serious expression gradually eased down, and he was even a little relieved in the end.

Li Yi asked him to hide this matter, Fu Wan felt a little uncomfortable, feeling that Li Yi's son-in-law is not qualified, but if you think about it from another angle, it can prove that Li Yi actually cares more about Fu Shou, which is for Fu Wan. It is also a good thing.

The angel passed the decree and formally appointed Li Yi as the general. This is naturally something worthy of shocking the world, and it has also caused many people to have countless guesses about it, and even respected people from all over the world have expressed their views on this and predicted the future situation.

However, in Li Yi's own circle, there was not much reaction to the news itself. What really made them curious was what Li Yi and Fu Wan said that night.

On the second day after the announcement of the decree, Li Yi ordered to resume paying tribute to the court. It seemed that the relationship with the court had been repaired, but the strange thing was that Fu Wan only stayed for two days and then left. It's not like a normal son-in-law.

Everyone was curious about this, but Li Yi didn't explain it. Fu Wan is now an undercover agent. Both public and private, Li Yi doesn't want their plan to be known to too many people. Anyway, people on his side can't help Fu Wan. What are you busy with?

On the second day after Fu Wan left, Cheng County welcomed another guest, Xuzhou Zhonglang General Cao Bao.

Li Yi appeased the generals in Xuzhou before, telling them not to worry, but Li Yi is the superior, he said not to worry, if the people below really don't worry, people who think so will not be generals.

This time, Cao Bao invited Li Yi to take control of Xuzhou as a representative of Xuzhou military officials. He was full of sincerity and attitude. It happened that Li Yi had also waited for the appointment of the court, and everything was ready. He immediately ordered the army to dispatch, Go straight to the Xuzhou government.

The distance from Cheng County to Tan County is not far, and after only three days of walking, Li Yi took two thousand cavalry ahead to the outside of Tan County, and Li Yi was able to ride so lightly and simply because of the erection outside the gate of Tan County. Three camps!

"Lord!"

"The last general pays his respects to the lord!"

"The subordinate has seen the lord!"

"The last general has seen the general!"

Seeing the group of people waiting in front of him, Li Yi was in a good mood, and he dismounted from his horse after a distance, strode forward and said, "Everyone, please, please!"

"Thank you my lord!"

Everyone took the order together, then got up, each with their heads held high, and looked at Li Yi with fiery eyes, like soldiers waiting for inspection, but the brilliance in their eyes was much brighter than that of ordinary soldiers.

Li Yi first came to Zhang Liao, patted hard, and saw that Zhang Liao almost grinned, and then asked: "Isn't Yuandang anxious?"

Zhang Liao's face turned serious, and he said loudly: "My lord, the last general brought eight thousand tigers this time, and I wish to go to Qingzhou to capture that little Yuan Tan boy for my lord!"

Seeing that Zhang Liao's words were full of pride, Li Yi laughed and said, "I'm afraid you are going to be disappointed. I think Yuan Long also brought a lot of troops, and they all went north. How dare Yuan Tan fight?"

Chen Deng came out at the right time and said: "My lord, because many people in Pengcheng have taken refuge in Guangling in Xiapi, it is not difficult to recruit troops in Xiapi, but they are only concerned about production. Today Xiapi only has 8000 soldiers and horses, but they are all selected from the best. , this time the subordinate also brought [-] people for the lord to drive."

Li Yi looked at Chen Deng with bright eyes. Although Chen Deng's temperament has always been good, he is a rare young man who combines vigor and calmness, but because of his health, Chen Deng's face has always been yellow in the past, and he is young. Fortunately, after Hua Tuo's treatment, now the person has become whiter and firmer, and even the original thin face has become a Chinese character face.

And because of the change in body posture, Chen Deng's temperament also seemed to have changed. He seemed to be less aggressive, but more affluent and gentle. Li Yi observed carefully, then looked at Mi Zhu next to him, and suddenly found that Chen Deng looked He turned out to be more like a businessman than Mi Zhu.

But Li Yi knew that this businessman must be hiding a knife in his smile.

Li Yi patted Chen Deng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Seeing that Yuanlong is full of energy, I feel at ease."

Chen Deng took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said, "If it wasn't for the lord's life-saving grace, I really wouldn't know at this time."

Li Yi helped Chen Deng up with a smile and said: "It's not my credit, the genius doctor is behind, and Yuanlong is the one who thanked the genius doctor."

Chen Deng didn't speak, but saluted Li Yi again.

Although Hua Tuo was the one who prescribed his diagnosis and treatment, Chen Deng knew that if it weren't for Li Yi, he might never have the opportunity to see Hua Tuo in his life. Compared to Hua Tuo, Li Yi was his real lifesaver.

The grace of saving life was already great, but thinking of the wriggling worms he once spit out, Chen Deng felt that Li Yi's grace of saving life was extraordinarily heavy.
