Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi squinted at the two of them. Although he hadn't specifically asked them why they came, Li Yi had already learned an important piece of information from the scouts.

When Liu Yu was in office, he was very tolerant towards the common people and the alien races around him, and he was very popular. After Liu Yu died, Liu Yu's former subordinates had been planning to avenge Gongsun Zan, and they also fought with Gongsun Zan's men. There have been fights, but because there are no good opportunities, the scale of the conflict between the two sides has never been large.

But this time was different. Li Yi sent troops to Qingzhou, which was a big blow to Yuan Shao, but it had an even greater impact on Gongsun Zan.

After Gongsun Zan took control of Youzhou, he was self-willed and already very unpopular. If it was reported that he had a bad relationship with Li Yi, it would definitely make things worse for Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, those old subordinates of Liu Yu thought that the time had come, they elected Yan Rou as the leader, and gathered troops everywhere, preparing to take the opportunity to launch an attack on Gongsun Zan.

Combined with such a background, Li Yi easily guessed about Qi Zhou and Shan Jing's intentions.

Coughing lightly, Qi Zhou and Shan Jing hurriedly stood up, even though Shan Jing and Tian Kai were still preparing for a battle against Li Yi a few days ago, but when they really came to Li Yi, Shan Jing did not dare to be presumptuous at all.

Li Yi tasted the tea, looked a little careless, and said slowly: "I know you have enmity, so I will not care about the fight outside my camp before, but this is not an example, leave after the discussion is over, my camp Within a radius of thirty miles, don't use weapons rashly, and use military law to deal with them at every turn, and within thirty miles, whatever you want to do is up to you."

Qi Zhou hurriedly bowed and said, "I respect the general's orders!"

Shan Jing did not compete with Qi Zhou, but deliberately lagged one step behind. After Qi Zhou finished speaking, he said: "Thank you, General, for taking care of me."

Qi Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then glared at Shan Jing, while Li Yi frowned slightly and didn't answer Shan Jing's words.

The two groups of envoys were similar in number, but Qi Zhou came from afar, and the guards he brought were obviously elite. He had suffered a lot in the previous fight. If Li Yi's scouts hadn't appeared, he might have given up his life .

In this regard, Shan Jing should indeed thank Li Yi, but it was inappropriate when he thanked him, and he simply posted it on Li Yi with a cheeky face.

Li Yi looked down on Shan Jing's little trick, which was useless and could only be looked down upon for no reason.

What's more interesting is that Shan Jing actually served as the governor of Yanzhou, and was appointed by Gongsun Zan. Li Yi didn't know how to complain about this.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Yi looked at Qi Zhou, raised his hand and said, "I'm a guest from afar, so tell me first, why did you see me?"

Chapter 734 Righteousness

"Also ask the general to be the master of Zhongliang!"

Just as Li Yi asked the question, Qi Zhou threw himself to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

Li Yi had expected this for a long time, and his expression did not change significantly, but Shan Jing's expression changed in an instant.

The world knows that Li Yi is ambitious and intends to annex the Quartet. The main problem that can stand in front of Li Yi now is Yuan Shao. On the other hand, Li Yi lacks a reason to send troops.

Li Yi is not Dong Zhuo, and he still has to be shameless when doing things. No matter where he went to fight before, he would find a "reasonable" excuse. For example, the original reason for sending troops to Qingzhou this time was that Yuan Shao sent troops to Qingzhou for no reason, and Li Yi came to help the war.

After "assisting the war", it is said that Li Yi has no reason to stay in Qingzhou, but Li Yi suddenly promoted Chen Deng to be the governor of Qingzhou, and without an excuse, he forcibly made an excuse.

This matter was done very badly, simple and rude, with no level at all. If it weren't for Li Yi's too strong strength, it would definitely attract a lot of scolding.

The Zhongliang mentioned by Qi Zhou just now was referring to Liu Yu, the original state herdsman. Although at first glance he has a distant relationship with Li Yi, as long as Li Yi is willing, he can use this to label Gongsun Zan as a rebel, not to mention Qingzhou. There are already excuses for sending troops to Youzhou, and they can easily win over the people in Youzhou.

"General, don't listen to this villain's nonsense, back then"

Shan Jing didn't want Liu Yu's affairs to be used by Li Yi, so he immediately took a step forward, intending to disturb the matter, but he met Li Yi's turned eyes as soon as he spoke halfway.

Li Yi's expression was actually very calm. He didn't do anything except turn his gaze to Shan Jing, as if he was waiting for Shan Jing to come down, but Shan Jing's forehead felt numb, and Li Yi's eyes seemed to be The knife was generally placed on his body.

He didn't know if the knife would suddenly fall and chop him off if he continued talking.

Swallowing, Shan Jing expressed embarrassment, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

This was more than that, he took another two steps back, and forced a smile while retreating.

In fact, Shan Jing still wanted to directly accompany someone who was wrong, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better for him not to speak again.

Seeing Shan Jing coaxed back, Li Yi stopped caring about him and continued to focus on Qi Zhou, but Shan Jing still felt uncomfortable, because the person looking at him was replaced by Dian Wei, with a dark face , pressing the sword with one hand, although not as majestic as Li Yi, but even more ferocious, just a few breaths of effort made cold sweat break out on Shan Jing's forehead.

Qi Zhou next to him saw this scene from the corner of his eye, and was secretly happy.

When he came to meet Li Yi here, Qi Zhou was already very confident. After all, the matter was beneficial to Li Yi, and now seeing that Li Yi had a bad attitude towards Shan Jing, he naturally thought that the matter was sure.

However, Qi Zhou still looked sad on the surface, and did not dare to show joy.

"Tell me, which Zhongliang do you want me to be the master of?"

Li Yi asked in a casual tone, but no one at the scene thought he was being contemptuous, even Qi Zhou and Shan Jing, because the status of the two parties was very different.

Qi Zhou saluted Li Yi respectfully, then took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "My lord Liu Yu, Liu Bo'an, since he took office in Youzhou, has been strict in the administration of officials, persuading farmers and mulberry classes, caring for the people internally, and serving the Xianbei Uruguayan externally." In just a few years, the people of Qingzhou live and work in peace and contentment, there are no small crimes at the border, and there are no more refugees from the past in the city, so Youzhou is settled, this is all thanks to my lord Liu Yu and Liu Boan!"

Speaking of this, Qi Zhou couldn't help crying again, which was different from what he had shown Li Yi just now, this time he was moved by emotion, thinking of all the past, he couldn't help crying.

Even Li Yi straightened his expression to show his respect for Liu Yu.

The descendants of the old Liu family are all good at governing the people, especially Liu Yu, who really has no selfish intentions, and does things for the people and the world wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that Liu Yu was born in troubled times, and many of his propositions seemed so ridiculous in troubled times, and he should have died for it in the end, but Li Yi couldn't deny Liu Yu himself because of this.

Anyone who puts the people in his heart is worthy of respect, especially in troubled times.

Wiping his eyes, Qi Zhou continued: "My lord is dedicated to serving the public, but I don't want that traitor Gongsun Zan to kill my lord because of his wolfish ambitions. After that, he hijacked an angel, proclaimed himself a marquis, and even slandered my lord for having different ambitions and ruining his life." My master's reputation after death is such a despicable villain, is there any reason not to kill him?"

Li Yi sighed softly. Although reputation is invisible, it is really important. At the beginning, he didn't dare to confront Liu Biao, because he was worried that there would be endless troubles after taking Liu Biao's position, and Liu Yu's reputation was far better than Liu Biao. However, Gongsun Zan was tough. Now it is normal for someone to make trouble for Liu Yu.

"After the death of my lord, my former troops did not want to attach themselves to the rebel Gongsun, so we fled from Yuyang and took refuge in Xianbei temporarily. We also contacted the former deployment and the leaders of Xianbei from all over the place to gather troops and horses to avenge our lord. Blood payment, but Gongsun Zan is powerful, and we are not his opponents, so we have to endure and wait for the opportunity."

Qi Zhou suddenly looked at Li Yi, and said expectantly: "A few days ago, I heard that the general sent troops to Qingzhou, and Tian Kai's child pretended to be the governor of Qingzhou, blocking the general's way. Youzhou responds to the general and attacks and kills Gongsun Zan from behind. If it happens, our brothers will only leave Gongsun Zan's head to pay homage to the old master, and youzhou, we will give it to the general with both hands!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Shan Jing on the side suddenly changed color, and no longer ignored Dian Wei's shock, he fell down in front of Li Yi fiercely, and shouted: "General, don't listen to the villain's instigation, this Qi Zhou is not a good person, today Deliberately provoking the General to fight with General Gongsun, please be aware of it!"

Li Yi still didn't pay attention to the single scriptures. He looked at his subordinates on the left and right. Most of them looked happy. It was obvious that they were very moved by what Qi Zhou said. , but also secretly nodded to Li Yi, thinking that this method is feasible.

Of course, although they are willing to accept Qi Zhou's suggestion, it doesn't mean they really believe Qi Zhou's words.

Looking at Zhou's appearance, his feelings for Liu Yu are not fake, and his hatred for Gongsun Zan is also true, otherwise he wouldn't have come all the way here to take advantage of it.

However, the credibility of what Qi Zhou said about handing over Youzhou to Li Yi after he won Youzhou is very doubtful.

That was a state. With Youzhou, Gongsun Zan could fight Yuan Shao back and forth. Such a big place can be given away as soon as it is offered, how generous is it?

Even if it is forced to give it away, there will inevitably be a lot of conditions.

However, those on Li Yi's side seem to be acceptable, even if Qi Zhou and the others have other purposes, it doesn't matter, anyway, the more chaotic the north, the better, and Li Yi will not lose anything.

Under the apprehensive or expectant gazes of the crowd, Li Yi was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He looked at Shan Jing and said, "You should also have something to do with the north, let's talk about it."

Shan Jing was so nervous that he fell to the ground and said: "The governor of Tian Tian stationed troops in Linzi before, but he was targeting Yuan Tan, and he was definitely not hostile to the general. Now the general has asked Chen Yuanlong from Xuzhou to be the governor of Qingzhou, and the people of Qingzhou have entrusted him with it." Naturally, Tian Inspector Tian has no reason to stay in Qingzhou for a long time, and he came here to ask the general for instructions on how to arrange the handover of various affairs."

Li Yi looked at Shan Jing and couldn't help laughing.

A few days ago, Tian Kai was still resisting him to the end, but now he suddenly changed his direction and started courting him, which is really unpredictable.
