Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Zang Ba got up with a smirk, and it took him a while to be sure that Li Yi was really just talking casually, rather than trying to beat him.

Because, Yuan Tan did win him over before, and even offered him the position of governor of Xuzhou.

Compared with Li Yi, Yuan Tan is really generous. Li Yi's emissary just kept talking about Li Yi's brilliance and prowess, and promised that he would definitely reuse him in the future, and then he would have a bright future, etc., but there were no substantial benefits at all. explain.

At that time, Zang Ba also hesitated and almost chose Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao's promise was too tempting.

But after hesitating again and again, Zang Ba finally fell to Li Yi.

Li Yi's momentum is too strong, Zang Ba lacks the courage to confront Li Yi head-on, and he made a comparison in his heart, thinking that the possibility of Yuan Shao defeating Li Yi is very low, and he followed Yuan Shao is probably the result of Yu Sui .

Just imagine that Yuan Tan was defeated in this battle, and Yuan Tan fled back to his hometown in Hebei, but what about him, his roots are in Xuzhou, if he goes to Hebei, he will become a rootless apple and will not be taken seriously at all.

Moreover, Zang Ba also made the same request to Yuan Tan, saying that he wanted to kill Cao Cao and Xiahou's family. Yuan Tan thought about it for two days, and then replied that he could consider it, but he was not sure. In short, it was ambiguous.

This made Zang Ba startled, and thinking of the inexplicable death of his predecessor Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, he finally completely gave up the idea of ​​joining Yuan Shao.

After comforting Zang Ba to sit down again, Li Yi asked: "You are relatively close to Qingzhou, and you are well informed. In your opinion, is Yuan Tan colluding with Tian Kai?"

Zang Ba had already made up his mind, and after serious thinking, he said apologetically: "This subordinate also has doubts about this, and specially asked the scouts to investigate deeply, but they haven't found anything unusual, so I'm not sure about it. , and please forgive me, my lord."

Li Yi was a little bit regretful. Although he was full of confidence, Yuan Tan's self-confidence made him dare not be careless. After thinking about it, Li Yi felt that Tian Kai might be the only variable, but there was no evidence.

In the end, Li Yi shook his head, putting aside his troubles, since he couldn't tell whether Yuan Tan and Tian Kai had colluded secretly, then it would be easier to treat them as if they had colluded.

After figuring it out, Li Yi smiled again, looked at Zang Ba and asked, "Does Xuan Gao know, what is it that I rely on from a white body to today's achievements?"

Zang Ba was a little uncomfortable with this sudden change of topic, and subconsciously praised: "My lord Tao martial arts, he is more capable of knowing people, today's achievement is inevitable!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Indeed, I know people, so when I saw Xuan Gao, I knew that Xuan Gao was a general."

"Thank you, my lord, for the compliment!"

Zang Ba hurriedly thanked him, his face was full of joy. No one would doubt Li Yi's discerning vision, and Zang Ba didn't think that Li Yi would smash the golden signboard because of him, so Li Yi said that he was an admiral. It must be the general.

However, Li Yi's next sentence made Zang Ba feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

I just heard Li Yi ask: "I want to test and teach Xuan Gao. If someone knows that although someone is very talented, but there is a rebellion in the back of his head, and rebellion is bound to be rebellious, then how does Xuan Gao think he should deal with it?"

Chapter 708 Thank You Lord For Not Killing

Zang Ba only felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body was stunned. When he regained his senses for a while, thinking about what Li Yi said, his face turned pale.

As the so-called fan of the authorities, Li Yi first praised him for being a general, and then said that there are people who are not rebellious, but have rebellious bones. In Zang Ba's view, Li Yi is obviously talking about him!

At this moment, Zang Ba was very scared. He chose to join him because he didn't think he could stop Li Yi. Now that the brothers have entered Li Yi's camp, life and death depended on Li Yi's decision, but Li Yi suddenly attacked , what should he do?

If Zang Ba stood from the perspective of a bystander, or had more time to think about it, he would definitely find out that Li Yi actually meant something else, but let him face it directly, and all the things that appeared in his mind immediately were All kinds of bad consequences.

Zang Ba felt that he was wronged and wronged. Although he dared not say that he was a hero who sacrificed his life for righteousness, he was by no means a villain who could turn his face against him at any time. After deciding to join Li Yi, Zang Ba really planned to do well. I followed Li Yi, and besides the nervousness when I first came out, Li Yi was really good in all aspects. Zang Ba felt that he was worthy of his allegiance, but Li Yi said that he was born rebellious, which really made it too difficult for him to accept.

Zang Ba was a little cold-hearted, but things had come to this point. He had no way out, so he could only leave his position sadly, and bowed heavily to Li Yi: "Although Zang Ba is not a sage, he also knows benevolence and righteousness, and he has no second thoughts about the lord." If my lord feels that Zang Ba is harboring evil intentions, Ba would like to die to prove his innocence, so please don't implicate other people, my lord!"

After all, Zang Ba just looked like he was waiting to die with his eyes closed, and Li Yi and Dian Wei were taken aback for a while.

Conscience of heaven and earth, Li Yi did intend to scare Zang Ba on purpose before. This is not a bad taste, but a necessary process, otherwise what if Zang Ba is very arrogant afterwards?

But there is a limit to beating, unless the two parties are already very close, like Dian Wei and Wei Yan, it's fine for Li Yi to make jokes casually, otherwise it will easily cause negative emotions that shouldn't be there, which is not what Li Yi wants to see that's it.

"Xuan Gao, what is this for!"

Li Yi stepped forward to help Zang Ba up himself, dumbfounded, and under Zang Ba's almost tearful gaze, he explained helplessly: "Xuan Gao has too many intentions, what I mean is someone else. "

Zang Ba's emotional ups and downs before, and hearing that Li Yi is so one year old,

The whole person was a little dazed, looking straight at Li Yi, and it took a while to make sure that he might have really misunderstood.

It's just that although the misunderstanding has been resolved, the emotions are not so easy to calm down.

Zang Ba looked at Li Yi, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Li Yi sighed, and stopped being a joke, and said bluntly: "The reason why I talked to you about this is because that person is none other than your subordinate Chang Xi."

Zang Ba was startled for a moment, then exclaimed: "How is this possible!"

In Zang Ba's heart, although Chang Xi is not as reliable and prudent as the Sun brothers, he is still a good partner.

In this era, being born rebellious is simply the worst evaluation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is vicious.

Seeing Zang Ba's unbelievable expression, Li Yi sighed lightly: "From Luoyang to now, I don't think anyone has ever made a mistake, and Chang Xi is no exception."

Zang Ba's face changed, that is to say, he and Chang Xi were acquaintances, and he instinctively didn't believe that Chang Xi was such a bad person, but what if Li Yi told another person?

Li Yi's ability to know people is recognized all over the world. Li Yi said that Chang Xi was born with rebellion, not to mention that Chang Xi couldn't stay with Li Yi. Even if Chang Xi went to Hebei, Yuan Shao would not use it. he.

Therefore, Zang Ba couldn't help being a little dazed, could it be that what Li Yi said was true?

Li Yi continued: "I have never had any contact with Chang Xi, let alone enmity. Moreover, although Chang Xi is a brave general, he is not indispensable to me, let alone a threat. Xuan Gao thinks so." no?"

Zang Ba nodded with difficulty. He knew what Li Yi meant. This was to show that he was talking about the facts, not deliberately targeting Chang Xi.

Thinking of this, Zang Ba became even more flustered. Putting aside the initial nervousness, now that he thinks about it carefully, he has believed Li Yi's words more and more. There is no need to intentionally harm Changxi.

In terms of personal matters, Li Yi doesn't care about women, money, or ability. Chang Xi doesn't care about anything.

Not to mention official affairs, even if Li Yi wants to attack them, he should attack him as the leader. There is no need to use devious tactics from other people, or he will startle the snake.

Zang Ba thought about being idle, and his expression began to struggle, tangled, and painful, and after a while, they all turned into an indescribable inexplicable expression.

Li Yi watched Zang Ba's changes, and he understood Zang Ba's performance very well. It would be difficult for anyone to encounter this kind of thing.

However, Li Yi still asked: "Has Xuan Gao already figured it out?"

Zang Ba gasped violently, after a while, he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said: "The final general dare not question the decision of the lord, but Chang Xi is honest, I really want to ask the lord for mercy!"

Zang Ba really wanted to intercede for Zang Ba, but Li Yi's rebellious nature had blocked all possibilities of Chang Xi, and he had no idea how to intercede.

Li Yi showed appreciation. Compared with a decisive and ruthless person who resolutely abandoned his former companions in the face of interests, he wanted to see Zang Ba who was not ordinary but still had a human touch.

Smiling, Li Yi said: "Xuan Gao should know that the military ranks above lieutenant colonel in our army have to go to Nanyang Academy before officially taking office."

Zang Ba nodded, and said in a low voice, "The general will know."

Li Yi said again: "Originally my plan was to let all of you go to Nanyang, but because the situation in Qingzhou is different from what was expected, I am going to let you stay for the time being, Sun Guan, Sun Kang, and Changxi. Go to Nanyang first."

Zang Ba still nodded, but couldn't help closing his eyes. He felt that Chang Xi might not be able to come back after leaving. Now that the world is in chaos, it is really too easy for Li Yi to kill someone quietly. I am afraid that the two members of the family will be foolish witnesses for Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't know that Zang Ba had turned him into an evil boss, so he continued on his own: "After the three of them arrive at the academy, I will hint to Tao Qian to make him deliberately embarrass Chang Xi, probably because of his lack of ability. , on the grounds of incompetence, Chang Xi was not given the post, and he was left in Jingzhou."
