Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

What really made Li Yi unable to understand was what Chang Xi did afterwards.

After Cao Cao won the big victory in Guandu, he was in the limelight for a while. Countless people wanted to embrace Cao Cao's thigh, but Chang Xi was a maverick. He actually chose to rebel when Cao Cao's momentum was at its strongest.

Li Yi was puzzled. Even if Chang Xi didn't like Cao Cao, he should go to Yuan Shao and give Cao Cao a knife from behind. In the end, he chose to rebel after fighting Guandu. What was he trying to do?

After the judgment was settled this time, Cao Cao did not kill Chang Xi, and Chang Xi was honest for a while, but he chose to rebel again when Cao Cao took control of Jizhou and his reputation rose to a new level.

This time Chang Xi was very unfortunate, or he finally had enough trouble, and was beheaded by Yu Jin.

Changxi’s experience made Li Yi suffer from toothache once, and he couldn’t figure it out. There are demands for rebellion, fame, fortune, loyalty, and righteousness. At least it is a reason.

But what was Chang Xi trying to rebel against Cao Cao?

Li Yi even suspected that that guy was mentally retarded, but seeing Chang Xi himself today, this person's IQ is obviously not a problem.

Therefore, this problem stumped the traversers.

Li Yi doesn't mind recruiting people who have betrayal in history, such as Chen Deng, such as Mi Fang, especially the latter, whose reputation is really ruined.

But Li Yi doesn't mind, because Li Yi will think about the reasons for the betrayal of the betrayers, and then analyze whether he can use the layout to eliminate the conditions that may make those people betray to the greatest extent. As long as this can be done, the original betrayal Those who can become his loyal people.

Through this strategy, Li Yi can be said to be invincible, and he has subdued many people who have experienced betrayal, but today, he encountered a special existence.

Chang Xi and Li Yi didn't even know why Cao Cao was betrayed, so he couldn't do anything about it. How can we prevent it from happening?

As for whether to deeply analyze Chang Xi's inner world

Li Yi was indeed curious, but Chang Xi was not a beautiful woman, so how could Li Yi have the right to spend so much energy, let alone take risks.

"Although I have never seen the general's martial arts, I can trust Xuan Gao. Since Xuan Gao praised him so much, the general's martial arts must not be bad. Come on, take my precious sword and give it to General Chang!"

"Thank you, General, no, thank you, my lord!"

Chang Xi was very happy about Li Yi's enthusiasm, and even called the lord altogether.

Seeing Chang Xi being so upright, everyone around Li Yi looked at him approvingly, but the Sun brothers were slightly dissatisfied. In their opinion, Zang Ba should set an example for this change of words.

Zang Ba himself was fine, he felt that Chang Xi was just too excited for a while, and there was no need to worry about trivial matters.

Except for Li Yi, Dian Wei was the only one who noticed something was wrong, because Li Yi gave away all the good knives in his hand, and although the rest were not bad, they were not enough for Li Yi's identity, so Dian Wei Wei immediately understood that his master actually didn't want to see Chang Xi.

Then Dian Wei looked at the military adviser next to him who began to smile gratifyingly, and a sense of superiority in IQ emerged spontaneously.

Li Yi expressed enough goodwill to the three people's gifts, and Li Yi's subordinates did not embarrass Zang Ba and the others except for Kuai Yue's obviously deliberate attack. As for Zang Ba and others, they were very obedient. Anyone who is willing to make this meeting have twists and turns.

So, in a cheerful atmosphere, Li Yi ordered a banquet with wine, and the atmosphere in the account was once again high. With the two parties doing it deliberately, they drank just a few drinks, and they seemed to have become old friends.

After drinking for three rounds, Li Yi left the big tent under the pretext of letting go of the alcohol, and asked Dian Wei to call out Zang Ba as well.

Zang Ba followed Dian Wei, and soon saw Li Yi at the edge of the camp. Li Yi was sitting on a wooden pier, and there was a small table next to him, with drinking utensils on it. Just change places, change people, and drink for a while.

Zang Ba was both happy and nervous. He walked quickly to Li Yi's side, bowed and said, "Master!"

Li Yi pointed to the wooden pier next to him, and said, "Xuan Gao, sit down, come on, sit down too."

The two sat down as promised, but Dian Wei was very natural. He often sat and ate and drank with Li Yi, but Zang Ba was more nervous. Ba did not dare to take it for granted.

He was obviously a burly and strong man, but Zang Ba only sat on the wooden pier with only half of his buttocks, and he poured wine for Li Yi and Dian Wei as soon as he sat down, which was obviously flattering.

Li Yi suddenly understood Zang Ba's hesitation. When Zang Ba himself was in Langya, although he suffered a disastrous defeat, with few troops and few people, at least he was at ease. Some people sang against him, but now, bowing your head and bowing your head has simply become a survival instinct.

Thinking about it, Li Yi said to Dian Wei: "From now on, you can spend more time with Xuan Gao. Xuan Gao is a good general, which is good for you. Moreover, Xuan Gao is not familiar with many things in the army. I have limited leisure time." , you need to help me a lot."

Zang Ba couldn't help but light up. Although Li Yi had shown a lot of goodwill before, those kindnesses were somewhat false, and he could turn his face and deny people. But now it is different. Li Yi personally helped him sort out the relationship network.

For Zang Ba, who originally formed his own line, letting him join Li Yi's command and being dealt with afterwards is just one of the many troubles. There are many other headaches, especially the kind that can only suffer from boredom.

For example, Li Yi is very fair and willing to support him, but if a certain toast repeatedly ignores him, a certain looks at him with disdain, and a certain gives him a middle or low grade when evaluating him, these things are for ordinary people They were all minor conflicts, but for Zang Ba, they could completely ruin his official career, and he could only suffer from being dumb, and there was no way to file a complaint.

Li Yi obviously also understands the existence of this clarity, so Li Yi specially introduced Dian Wei to him, so if Zang Ba is wronged because of some trivial matter in the future, it is inconvenient to complain to Li Yi and go directly to Dian Wei. It's enough for Wei to help the platform.

Everyone in the world knows that although Dian Wei's rank is not high, he is Li Yi's most trusted person. As long as he is willing to show up, Zang Ba will never be bullied.

Zang Ba glanced at Li Yi gratefully, picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said, "This glass, to my lord!"

"This cup, General Jingdian!"

Zang Ba drank two glasses in a row, and Li Yi and Dian Wei also had a drink to save face. After putting it down, Li Yi personally filled the three of them this time, and said with a smile: "I asked Xuan Gao to come out, mainly to ask something."

Zang Ba quickly expressed his opinion: "The last general must know everything!"

Compared with the last time, Zang Ba was much more sincere when he said he knew everything this time.

Sensing Zang Ba's changes, Li Yi was very satisfied, and asked, "Do you know what Yuan Tan is doing?"

Seeing Li Yi talking about military affairs, Zang Ba's expression also became serious, and he said seriously: "My lord, although the last general has never directly fought with Yuan Tan, he only mainly harassed him, but because he was worried that Yuan Tan would fight back, he kept fighting against Yuan Tan. They all sent people to keep a close eye on Yuan Tan's soldiers and horses."

Glancing at Li Yi and seeing Li Yi nodding his head slightly, Zang Ba continued: "After Yuan Tan withdrew his troops from Linzi, he retreated all the way back to Jinan. He first stationed troops in Tugu County, and then retreated to Dongping Mausoleum."

Speaking of this, a hint of doubt flashed in Zang Ba's eyes.

Yuan Tan's withdrawal was within his expectation. Li Yi's army went north, and it was impossible for Yuan Tan to expose the weakness of the rear to Li Yi, so the withdrawal was normal.

But what's abnormal is that Yuan Shao didn't have any support, allowing Yuan Tan to fight against Li Yi's army on his own. Moreover, even if Yuan Tan resisted, he should have retreated in the frontline Tugu County, but in the end Yuan Tan retreated extra. One step, giving up Tugu County, obviously gave Li Yi a bridgehead.

Thinking in his heart, Zang Ba finally said: "Looking at Yuan Tan's actions, it seems that he is determined to fight the lord."

Li Yi nodded slightly, and asked, "I know what Xuan Gao said, but Xuan Gao thinks, if Yuan Tan fights with me, what are his chances of winning?"

Zang Ba said very simply: "Yuan Tan is able to have what he is today, all thanks to his father, how can he be the opponent of the lord."

Li Yi laughed and said: "Don't brag, I told you to talk about the combat power of both sides."

Zang Ba laughed, and then replied: "Yuan Tan has a [-]% chance of winning at most, and the [-]% is God's will."

Li Yi asked again: "Then if it were you, you only have a [-]% chance of winning. How dare you fight?"

Zang Ba shook his head and said: "Unless there is no way out, even if we die, there is no chance of winning, and now Yuan Tan obviously still has a way out. If you have to fight with the master, if you want to retreat, the chances of winning will be even lower."

Li Yishen took it for granted, and said again: "So, Yuan Tan did it knowing he couldn't do it. I suspect he has something to rely on. What does Xuan Gao think?"

This time Zang Ba didn't dare to speak easily, because he really couldn't understand Yuan Tan's operation.

Li Yi chuckled and continued: "To tell the truth, Xuan Gao, when I first learned that Yuan Tan had no plans to retreat, I thought he and Xuan Gao had reached a tacit understanding and were going to join forces to fight against the enemy."

Li Yi just said casually, but Zang Ba's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly got up and said: "The last general has absolutely nothing to do with Yuan Tan, please be careful, my lord!"

Li Yi took Zang Ba's arm and comforted him: "What are you doing? I did have doubts before, but Xuan Gao entered the camp in person. How could I be suspicious of myself because of groundless guesses? Xuan Gao really Too much to worry about."
