Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Moreover, Kong Shun and Hua Yan even took the opportunity to show their loyalty to Yuan Tan, which strengthened Yuan Tan's trust in them. They may be depressed for a while, but as long as Yuan Tan regains power, they will definitely be reused.

When he sends his troops to the north in the future, these two people will definitely bury a big hole for Yuan Tan.

As for whether these two villains will repent and betray, Li Yi is not worried at all. With today's incident, they have no way to turn back, not to mention, there is still the Marquis that Li Yi promised, as long as nothing happens that endangers personal life and death The accident, the two are absolutely reliable.

Putting down the soup bowl, Xu Huang wiped his mouth, and said again: "The city is basically quiet now, and the temporary government office has also been cleaned up by the lord. There is only one place that has not been resolved, and there are still soldiers and horses resisting. The subordinates do not know what to do. , I’m here to ask my lord for advice.”

"Anyone else resist?"

Li Yi was curious at first, then after thinking about it, he asked, "Could it be Han Meng?"

"My lord is lucky!"

Xu Huang admired again, although it was flattery, it was also sincere.

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, and said: "In terms of military strength, it is impossible for someone to embarrass you. Then, it can only be because of your special status. Now that Yuan Tan has escaped and Tian Fengyanliang died, except for Han Meng's identity, which can make you feel a little bit better." As difficult, the rest of the people...hehe."

Xu Huang nodded and said: "That's true. Uncle Han Meng is a famous general in Hebei. When the general entered the city, he asked the soldiers and horses to pay attention to Han Meng's whereabouts. He didn't want him to die in the hands of our army. But it was only later that I found out that there was such a chaotic battle in the city last night. However, Han Meng has been hiding in the mansion in order to show up all the time, and the sergeants who are fighting are not willing to provoke him, so although Han Meng's mansion has only personal guards, it has been guarded until now."

Frowning, Xu Huang was obviously puzzled, he didn't understand Han Meng's thoughts at all.

When this kind of chaos occurs in the army, as the highest ranking general, no matter which side he stands on, he must have an attitude. It is too irresponsible for someone like Han Meng to be a coward, and in the end he will definitely not please both sides. .

Li Yi thought for a while, although he could understand Han Meng's thoughts, he would not sympathize with Han Meng because of this.

After thinking for a while, Li Yi said: "Lead someone in later and tell Han Meng that if he is willing to surrender, I will appoint him a general of Dingbei Zhonglang, who will also be the future Marquis of Dingbei. If he does not surrender...find someone who will surrender The Jizhou soldiers sent him on the road, saying that it was Yuan Tan's cronies!"

"Please rest assured, my lord, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter properly!"

Although Han Meng is considered a talent, Li Yi does not lack such a person, and Han Meng did not voluntarily surrender after one night. It can be seen that Han Meng's obsession with Jizhou is so deep that it is too much for such a person to be used completely by him. Li Yi was too lazy to spend those thoughts.

Therefore, Li Yi is more willing to throw the opportunity away and let Han Meng make his own choice.

With Li Yi's instruction, Xu Huang no longer restrained Han Meng, and immediately led people there in person. After issuing the ultimatum, Han Meng still did not respond. Xu Huang immediately ordered people to attack. After a while, the courtyard wall was pushed down, and Han Meng's personal guards were all slaughtered, and finally Xu Huang came to Han Meng's inner house. Xu Huang was surprised to find that Han Meng had committed suicide for a long time.

Xu Huang reported the matter to Li Yi, Li Yi thought about it, and ordered Han Meng to be buried richly.

So far, Dongping Mausoleum has been completely occupied by Li Yi.

After occupying the Dongping Mausoleum, Li Yi did not continue to mobilize troops, but rectified the soldiers and horses, recruited prisoners of war, and of course, appeased the people.

Before Li Yi let the Jizhou soldiers fight in civil strife, although he successfully attacked the Yuan family in terms of reputation, there were many troubles afterwards, such as finding out the soldiers who took advantage of the chaos and punishing them. This is something that will take time to complete .

However, Li Yi gave Xu Huang an idea, asking him to urge the captured Jizhou soldiers to report and expose each other, so that everyone in the Jizhou soldiers would be in danger for a while, and it would be difficult to trust each other, and it would become a mess.

This was a devastating blow to the combat power of the Jizhou Army, but Li Yi was happy to see it succeed. If he didn't let these people become scattered first, how would he let these people contribute to his own foundation?

However, compared with the soldiers, Li Yi gave preferential treatment to those ordinary officers who voluntarily surrendered. Li Yi gave money and land to those who wanted to become rich, and Li Yi would also arrange for them to go to Jingzhou for further studies. As for how far they can go in the future, it all depends on their own abilities.

Li Yi has no plans to send troops for the time being because of rectifying internal affairs, but the Qingzhou forces, from Tian Kai to county officials and local families, are all trembling, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were scared out of their wits.

Before Li Yi's arrival, Yuan Tan was very powerful. He was very powerful against Ueda Kai, fierce general Yan Liang, and even looked at Qingzhou without a single enemy. Therefore, many people were afraid and took the initiative to seek refuge.

But such a powerful son of the Yuan family, after meeting Li Yi, [-] troops were killed in just a few days, and countless civilians and martial arts were killed and injured. Yan Liang was even beheaded by Li Yi himself, which can be described as a crushing defeat.

Compared with this kind of record, as long as the Qingzhou forces are not brainless, they are all scared to death.

Ordinary local officials or aristocratic families don't matter, they can be fools on the wall and fall directly to Li Yi, and Tian Kai is the only one who is really embarrassed.

After the news of the previous assassination came out, although Tian Kai was very angry, he also thought about the possibility of a divorce. It was Li Yi who prevented him from joining Yuan Tan.

But Tian Kai still chose to draw a clear line with Yuan Tan, acting as if it had nothing to do with him, because he felt that although Li Yi was strong, Yuan Tan was not weak either. , but he will have to pay a considerable price. Then he can negotiate peace with Fengdeli, or even directly with Li Yi, so that Li Yi can voluntarily withdraw from Qingzhou.

Taking a step back, if Yuan Tan is too invincible, he can choose to intervene at any time, and he can still dominate the alliance and take the initiative.

In the end, what Tian Kai didn't expect was that Yuan Tan was so vulnerable. Before he could react, he was completely defeated, and all the pressure was passed on to him.

If it was before, Tian Kai would have had the courage to fight against Li Yi alone, but now Yuan Tan's defeat not only hit Jizhou's morale, but also affected his side.

Some officials under Tian Kai's command have already begun to suggest to him that Qingzhou is far away from Youzhou, and there is Jizhou in the middle. It can also provide strong support for Gongsun Zan.

Tian Kai wasn't very smart, but he wasn't stupid either. The people below said nice things and made a lot of sense, but the essence was just two words, surrender.

Tian Kai didn't want to betray Gongsun Zan, and he didn't want to compete with an opponent he obviously couldn't beat. But it was extremely tormenting.

During the period, Tian Kai also sent envoys to contact Li Yi, trying to negotiate with Li Yi, and divided Zishui into Qingzhou, which was divided into half with Li Yi. The chance to meet Li Yi is gone.

Time passed day by day, and Tian Kai became more and more desperate. Until this day, Gongsun Zan sent an envoy to Qingzhou. Tian Kai didn't take it seriously, but after learning the envoy's name, Tian Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That emissary was Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong from Changshan, who was rumored to have an old relationship with Li Yi...

Chapter 729 Zhao Yun, met the Marquis Xiang

After Li Yi took down the Dongping Mausoleum, although he did not continue to send troops to conquer, but in the counties of Jinan, the plain border north of the Yellow River, and some counties in the west of Le'an, local officials continued to hand over documents, asking Li Yi to send officials to govern the place.

Let Li Yi send officials to just talk about it, except for a few who have too obvious labels on their bodies, or whose performance makes people unable to look directly at them, Li Yi will basically not move in the rest of the positions.

But this matter mainly depends on the attitude of those officials. They stated that Li Yi may not necessarily send someone to replace them. If they do not express their opinion, the official title will definitely be gone. Even Li Yi will not only send officials, but also give an extra team of soldiers and horses , It will be difficult for them to go home for the elderly.

Local officials were reserved when they turned to Li Yi. After all, they were all officials, but the aristocratic families in various places were more direct.

Since Li Yi entered Dongping Mausoleum, although the city that had just been ravaged by war was covered with trauma, its vitality recovered very quickly, because all the nearby families sent people to squeeze over, vying to show their goodwill to Li Yi , for fear of being one step slower.

In less than five days, many aristocratic families who are still under Tian Kai's rule came to Dongping Mausoleum to meet Li Yi, and even people from the farthest Donglai were rushing to Li Yi.

These people knew very well that Tian Kai couldn't even beat Yuan Tan, let alone Li Yi. Why didn't they choose Li Yi?

At this time, so many people are regretting that they should have taken the initiative to work when Li Yibei came up, but now it is already a beat late.

Li Yi's attitude towards these people from aristocratic families is neither cold nor affectionate, basically at the level of "faint", because the status of each other is very different, and being courteous and corporal will make people look down on him, even if it is true All the talents of the world have to take the initiative to curry favor with Li Yi, instead of Li Yi begging them, because most of the world is already in Li Yi's hands, without Li Yi's nod, even crouching dragons and phoenixes will only have soy sauce for the rest of their lives.

This is the benefit of power.

He licked Shijia when he was weak, and now he wants Shijia to lick him back.

In just a few days, Li Yiguang received nearly a hundred gifts. If all the items in it were fulfilled, Li Yi would not only need the supply of food and grass for Qingzhou this time, but would even be rich.

After all, Li Yi has very few hobbies. Except for beauties who conquer the world, he is not interested in other flowers, birds, antiques, strange stones and beautiful jade, and there are risks in sending beauties. Yi is the only way.

Li Yi also lived up to their expectations. The banquet was held for two days in a row. All the guests were big households who donated grains of thousands of shi, and very few big households who gave more than [-] shi of grain even got wine poured by Li Yi himself.

Although the glass of wine is expensive, it is worth the money for those people.

However, not all that Li Yi encountered in Dongping Mausoleum was good news.

First of all, Tian Kai's envoy wants to divide Qingzhou equally with him!

Such an unreliable proposal can be said, which makes Li Yi very speechless, and he doesn't know how to refuse. After thinking about it, he simply asked someone to drive the messenger out. It is also thanks to the messenger who left quickly, otherwise he would be beaten In the eyes of the generals under Li Yi's command, if Tian Kai wants to be tough, everyone will fight, but he actually wants to use his words to divide Qingzhou with Li Yi. This is completely humiliating Li Yi and them.
