Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi interrupted Kong Shun's words with a wave of his hand, and said: "Old Feng Tangyi, Li Guang is difficult to seal, half of it is based on real ability, half of it is opportunity, and even opportunity is more important. Now, I have here." One chance, as long as you can satisfy me, you, and your friend, when the world is settled, I will let the two of you become marquises together!"

Kong Shun's heart was beating wildly. Li Yi's words revealed too much information, and it would be fine to give him the title of Marquis. What's more, Li Yi's intention to change the dynasty was really scary.

But more than fear, there was excitement.

Swallowing, Kong Shun gritted his teeth and said, "Despite the general's orders, Kong Shun will go through fire and water and die!"

Li Yi chuckled, then put Kong Shun up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, since you have served me, I will naturally not let you go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire. On the contrary, I will give you a great contribution." ,only you……"

Li Yi explained to Kong Shun what he was going to do, and Kong Shun's face changed. His original plan was to sell Yuan Tan for a good price. Even if he can't be reused by Li Yi's subordinates, he can still get along with him. Half his life was rich, anyway, in order to buy people's hearts, Li Yi couldn't be unfavorable to them "meritorious people".

But now Li Yi doesn't look down on this hammer deal, but gives him a big task, which is very dangerous. Once something goes wrong, it will definitely be the result of a dead man.

However, although this matter has taken risks, the benefits are also huge.

As Li Yifang just said, being a Marquis depends not only on ability, but also on opportunity. He doesn't have that ability, and opportunity probably only comes once in this life.

Thinking of the benefits of being a Marquis, Kong Shun struggled for a while, and then said loudly: "Please rest assured, General, for the sake of the General's dominance, there is no reason for my subordinates to refuse!"

Li Yi patted Kong Shun on the shoulder with a look of relief, and then said to Lu Su: "Zijing, please invite some generals to come over immediately and discuss it. Let's prepare a big show for Mr. Yuan!"

……

When Kong Shun returned to Dongping Mausoleum, he was already approaching Zishi. Although it was late, Yuan Tan didn't take a rest. With the current situation, he really couldn't sleep.

However, what Kong Shun brought to Yuan Tan was a bolt from the blue.

Yan Liang died in battle, and Tian Feng committed suicide. For Yuan Tan, who was already on the verge of extinction, it was completely a draw from the bottom of the pot.

At this time, Yuan Tan had already given birth to the intention of retreating, and no longer wanted to defeat Li Yi. How to withdraw from Qingzhou safely with the remaining [-] soldiers and horses was the top priority.

But what worries Yuan Tan is that in the current situation, even if he wants to retreat, Li Yi may not agree. Yuan Tan asked Kong Shun about this, but Kong Shun just said very stubbornly. After Tan Dian, Yuan Tan continued to sigh while being moved.

After leaving Yuan Tan's residence, Kong Shun came to Hua Yan's residence after tidying up a bit. Hua Yan didn't rest either. Accept you, my brother?"

Kong Shun smiled slightly, took a sip of tea calmly, and assumed the posture of a master, which made Hua Yan scratch his ears and cheeks anxiously, and then explained what Li Yi said.

After Hua Yan heard this, his expression was very tangled. Originally, he only wanted to be rich and stable, but he never thought that he would have the opportunity to be a Marquis. This is naturally gratifying, but the Marquis wants to fight with his life, which is a bit strange. It's embarrassing.

Hua Yan couldn't imagine that if something went wrong during this matter, Yuan Shao would definitely kill his whole family.

Seeing Hua Yan's hesitation, Kong Shun said angrily: "Why are you hesitating, we follow Yuan Tan, although we are trusted by him, but there are a few people who really think highly of you and my brother, no matter how much money they have accumulated Money is also ridiculed by others, but Li Yi is different, originally I thought that Yuan Shao and Li Yi would be rivals in chess, but now it seems that Li Yi is obviously much smarter than Yuan Shao, Hebei will change hands, but it will be a matter of time."

"Think about it again, in the future, when Yuan Shao wins the world, how much will you and my brothers benefit? Even if the eldest son takes over, how far can you and my brothers go? But Li Yi is different. As long as our brothers do this well, the future To change the dynasty, that is to be a minister of the dragon, and to make a marquis with credit, how many people in the world dare to underestimate me?"

Kong Shun patted Hua Yan's shoulder hard, and finally said: "If you don't want to, you can sneak out of the city tonight, but I want to stay here to plan big things, but see you in a few years, hehe, you are just a rich man, But I have officials shouting and hugging me, so don't regret it then!"

The last sentence obviously stimulated Hua Yan. It would be fine if someone else was so successful, but the acquaintance Kong Shun suddenly became an existence that he couldn't afford. Said: "It's done, the champion marquis killed Mobei to be named marquis, but it is much easier for our brothers, if you don't fight for this opportunity, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Kong Shun immediately smiled and said: "With the help of brothers, the big thing is settled, you come here with your ears, tomorrow you and I will be like this..."

Chapter 726

The next day, after the victory, Li Yi's army seemed to be planning to take down Dongping Mausoleum in one go. Soldiers and horses kept appearing near the city of Dongping Mausoleum, and they began to prepare siege equipment in front of the defenders at the top of the city. When the guards at the top of the city saw it, they were very panicked.

The news reached Yuan Tan's ears. Although Yuan Tan tried his best to maintain his superficial composure, he was also very disturbed in his heart, which made him more determined to retreat.

However, the withdrawal of troops did not mean withdrawing immediately. Yuan Tan summoned his subordinates to ask for advice, hoping that someone would stir up this topic, and then if the other party insisted on him, he would have a smooth sailing.

But other people are not stupid. At this time, they took the initiative to withdraw to solve Yuan Tan's worries, but after returning to Qingzhou, it is very likely that he will become Mr. Yuan and vow to live and die with Qingzhou. The protagonist who does not retreat.

Taking the blame for the high-ranking person, if the road ahead is smooth for the high-ranking person, there are naturally many people who are willing to do it, but now that Yuan Tan's situation is critical, naturally no one will do that loss-making business.

Yuan Tan was very dissatisfied with the fruitless discussion, and was even more angry with Han Meng who was absent from the meeting. Although Han Meng's excuse was that he was seriously injured and needed to be recuperated, it was not that Yuan Tan had never met Han Meng and knew that his injury was still serious. Far from being unable to walk.

At this time, Hua Yan and Kong Shun, as cronies, naturally took the opportunity to slander, saying how Han Meng was dissatisfied with the eldest son, which made Yuan Tan even more dissatisfied with Han Meng.

Although the two still kept their sense of proportion and didn't push Yuan Tan to do the stupid thing of beheading the general before the formation, they also suggested to Yuan Tan that if things fail in the future and the army retreats, Han Meng can be kept at Dongping Mausoleum to guard for the future. Han Meng's ability to break through the encirclement among thousands of troops will definitely be able to hold back Li Yi and buy opportunities for the army to retreat.

Yuan Tan was very moved after hearing this. Like Yuan Shao, although he looks very generous and his opponents are good, he is actually not big-hearted, but he understands that the more superior the person, the less he can do anything recklessly, so looking at Han Meng is an eyesore. But he would not attack Han Meng for no reason and ruin his own reputation.

But Hua Yan and Kong Shun's suggestion is fine. If he withdraws his troops, he must have someone in the rear, so let Han Meng stay. Bad luck, blame him for having the highest military rank.

Therefore, this matter was settled by Yuan Tan with an attitude of acquiescence, and he began to quietly arrange for the withdrawal of troops, first make preparations, and when there is a suitable opportunity, he will quickly get out of Dongping Mausoleum.

However, what Yuan Tan didn't know was that just after he made some arrangements, Hua Yan and Kong Shun leaked his plan, and many generals knew that Yuan Tan planned to withdraw troops.

It's nothing but withdrawing troops. Now many discerning people know that this battle is overwhelmed, and there is no need to fight Li Yi at Dongping Mausoleum.

But apart from the news of the troop withdrawal itself, there was a list that came out of nowhere. From Han Meng down, there were a total of seven or eight officers who led the troops, and it was said that they were all the ones Yuan Tan decided to leave behind.

As soon as the list came out, those whose names didn't appear on it naturally patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief, but those who were honorably on the list were not calm.

Breaking the queen is a dangerous job, the probability of the entire army being wiped out is very high, and this time it is Li Yi again, even the elites of Jizhou, commanded by Yan Liang Tianfeng, were defeated in front of Li Yi, so that they have a way out?

For a while, the army was panicked.

Some people questioned whether this list was reliable, whether Li Yi's meticulous work deliberately disturbed the morale of the army, but soon, this was denied by people.

First of all, Han Meng will not talk about it. Many people know that Han Meng reprimanded Yuan Tan face to face and offended the eldest son. It is normal for him to be left behind.

The rest of the other generals are also due to various reasons, such as not being good at talking, not being able to come to affairs, and having a relatively estranged relationship with Yuan Tan.

In this way, it is very reasonable that the people on this list are all people who have a bad relationship with Yuan Tan.

Many generals were dissatisfied and found Han Meng together, hoping to let Han Meng come up with an idea.

Han Meng was very angry and had a headache.

As a soldier, if he was really left behind, although he didn't want to, he wouldn't complain, after all, it was the duty of a soldier.

However, judging from that list, Yuan Tan's arrangement was not only to cut off the empress, but also to use Li Yi's hand to remove those who looked at him as an eyesore. This made the generals feel betrayed and betrayed, and the aggrieved and angry in their hearts can One can imagine.

After some entanglement, Han Meng appeased the generals and asked them to strictly restrain the soldiers under his command. Regardless of the pain, he went to see Yuan Tan and wanted to ask what was going on. If it was true, he must convince Yuan Tan Yuan Tan changed his mind, otherwise he would destroy the Great Wall himself.

Others don't know, but Han Meng, who is the leader of the army, knows very well that those generals who are far away from Yuan Tan are just from bad backgrounds, or they are not good at drilling camps. In fact, many of them are down-to-earth people who have real skills It is also the essence of the Jizhou army. If they are abandoned by Yuan Tan, the entire Jizhou army will be shaken.

However, Han Meng went angrily, but was blocked by Hua Yan, who asked to untie the sword, said that the bloody smell on his body was too strong, and even simply ridiculed that Han Meng was obviously injured, why did he suddenly It was alive and kicking.

Han Meng was trembling with anger from Hua Yan, but he didn't know that it was Hua Yan's personal act, he thought it was Yuan Tan's instigation, deliberately humiliated him, and after a few curses in anger, he had no choice but to turn back.

But Hua Yan's beriberi left Han Meng, turned around and went to see Yuan Tan with Kong Shun, and told Yuan Tan that Han Meng had come aggressively and seemed to question him about the retreat. They were worried that Yuan Tan would not respond well, so they gave Yuan Tan Blocking back, he asked Yuan Tan if he wanted to call Han Meng back again.

If Hua Yan concealed this matter, Yuan Tan will definitely have doubts when he finds out later, but Hua Yan reported it in a timely manner and was very considerate for him. Naturally, Yuan Tan has no other ideas. As for whether to call Han Meng back, Yuan Tan But Tan didn't have that plan at all.

As the commander-in-chief of the first army, Yuan Tan is naturally not blind. Not only did he know that there were rumors in the army, he even knew about Han Meng's contacts with those officers.

Yuan Tan was very irritable. He was not surprised that the news of the withdrawal of troops spread out. After all, the movement of troops and horses was a big one. It could be hidden from outsiders, but not from his own family. It is normal for someone to guess that he had the intention of withdrawing troops.
