Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Compared to Qi Zhou, Shan Jing's heart is full of joy.

He originally thought that his side was over, but unexpectedly, Li Yi abruptly sided with Gongsun Zan.

Of course, Li Yi didn't directly express his support for Gongsun Zan, he just didn't help each other, but for Gongsun Zan, this was already a help in itself.

After Zhao Yun met Li Yi, not only failed to persuade Li Yi to retreat, but also advised them not to fight with Li Yi, and even Zhao Yun himself joined in. Tian Kai was very angry when he found out, thinking that Zhao Yun was a villain, Tian Kai It was also based on this breath that he began to hoard soldiers and horses, and decided to give Li Yi a high score.

It's just that Tian Kai's courage came and went quickly. When he received an urgent message from Gongsun Zan, and learned that Liu Yu's old army had gathered more than ten thousand troops and intended to launch an attack on Youzhou, Tian Kai immediately gave up fighting with Li Yigang. Plan to fight.

If it's just people like Qi Zhou, that's all. With Gongsun Zan around, it's hard for them to cause a big storm, but as Kuai Yue said to Li Yi, Yuan Shao is also likely to participate in it. This will cause a lot of variables, although Yuan Shao suffered a small loss in Qingzhou, but the main force of Jizhou did not move, and he was fully capable of giving Gongsun Zan a hard time.

Under such circumstances, how could Gongsun Zan make great efforts to let Tian Kai and Li Yi compete for Qingzhou, which was destined to be an undefendable territory?

As for uniting with Yuan Shao and jointly resisting Li Yi, these words were entirely used by Gongsun Zan to add weight to the negotiations.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao had already had a real fight. Even if he died, he would not give Yuan Shao any advantage. Even if Li Yi really fought Hebei, Yuan Shao would be the first to be unlucky. Before he competed with Li Yi, he would happily watch Let Yuan Shao die.

The so-called union is not feasible at all.

Now that Li Yi has shown goodwill, Shan Jing is also very straightforward, bluntly saying that Tian Kai is willing to give up Qingzhou, but Li Yi needs to give Tian Kai time to prepare ships and transport the soldiers to Youzhou by water.

This was expected by Kuai Yue, otherwise it would be useless for Tian Kai to go to Youzhou alone, but he still added a condition that Tian Kai could take people away, but he could not take away soldiers and officials from Qingzhou. In addition, if other people want to stay and serve Li Yi, he also does not allow interference.

In this regard, Shan Jing nodded directly, and this matter was settled.

Then, the main force of Li Yi's army stopped in Changguo, and then divided into two groups, one was led by Chen Deng to Linzi to hand over to Tian Kai, and the other was to take over cities in various parts of Qingzhou.

Because of Li Yi's deterrence and the agreement reached between the two parties, the road was basically smooth except for a few weird ones with funny brains. In just ten days, Li Yi's people basically took Beihai into their hands, and then continued Xiangdong, ready to take over Donglai, took Tai Shici's old mother away by the way.

Le An and Qi Guo Li Yi, who are relatively close, are not in a hurry to intervene. After all, Tian Kai is still staying in Linzi for the time being. get on.

After another three days, Tian Kai took more than 5000 soldiers and military officials, left Linzi to the east, and went north from Le'an by sea boat. I have already boarded the ship, which has proved the transfer of Qingzhou's rights, and also marks that all the north of the Yellow River have been brought into Li Yi's control.

Regarding this, Li Yi was very emotional. Winning Jingzhou was his first stage, but now, the second stage has been completed, and next time, when he sets off the smoke again, his goal will be the whole world!

Although he was full of ambition, Li Yi was quite calm, especially in Qingzhou, who had worked hard secretly.

Li Yi's positioning for Qingzhou is that the weak are strong but the strong are strong, and the employees are mainly young people, such as Chen Deng, Zhou Yu, Wei Yan, Huo Jun, Xu Sheng, Xu Kun, and several generals recruited in Yanzhou.

Among them, except for Wei Yan, they are all unknown people. Even Wei Yan has just been punished and demoted. Normal people in such a lineup will feel contemptuous, but Li Yi knows that half of them are not easy to get along with. If you seize the opportunity, the burst of energy will definitely amaze the whole world.

It's just that Li Yi is also a little worried about these people. After all, they are too young, capable, and courageous, but managing such a large Qingzhou is really not easy.

Considering this issue, as well as some other reasons, Li Yi finally decided not to return for the time being, but to leave the brigade, and continue to move eastward with several main officials and the personal guard battalion. Deng and others sat in the town, then turned around, went west along the Yellow River, continued to patrol, and returned to Jingzhou when they reached Hanoi.

However, this time the patrol was different from the previous marches. The guard of honor prepared by Kuai Yue and others for Li Yi was almost the same as that of the emperor.

Li Yi is majestic in the Central Plains, showing his disobedience heartily, but Jizhou across the river is another scene.

Yuan Shao was alone in the huge city tower of Ye City today, looking southeast from time to time, with a sad expression, and even tears in his eyes.

Yuan Shao usually likes to be lively, and he often hugs when he goes in and out, but today, he is really not in that mood, because he just went to Yan Liang's house to pay homage, and he felt uncomfortable, so he came here alone.

During this period of time, Yuan Shao had a very difficult time. He really did not expect that Qingzhou's temptation would be a crushing defeat. Not only did he lose more than 1 soldiers, but what made him heartbroken was Tian Feng, Yan Liang, Han Meng, etc. human death.

Rao Yuan Shao had always thought that he had no shortage of generals under his command, but this blow was still unbearable for him.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Yuan Shao picked up the jug, filled the empty glasses on the left and right sides, poured another glass himself, raised it to the left and right, and drank it in one gulp. He coughed so much that he even shed tears.

The guards in the distance heard the movement and took a look from a distance, but no one dared to step forward.

Yuan Shao picked up the jug, regardless of the discomfort in his throat, filled it up, drank it again, filled it up again, drank it down again, after three cups like this, Yuan Shao threw the wine glass on the ground violently, the glass shattered, and the pieces scattered all over the place. and Yuan Shao himself clenched his fist like a broken wine glass, but finally leaned wearily against the pillar behind him.

"It's me, I'm sorry for you, but now"

Yuan Shao murmured, his face was full of remorse, and there were also hideous entanglements.

Yuan Shao was very happy when he first learned that Yan Liang had defeated Li Yi for a while, and even almost killed Wei Yan, but this happiness lasted for less than a day, and the bad news came one after another, especially after confirming that Yan Liang and Tian Feng were dead in battle, Yuan Shao was even more angry and drew his sword, wanting to send troops south to avenge the two of them.

However, Yuan Shao's move immediately attracted a lot of opposition. Although dozens of soldiers under his command were shocked and angry because of Qingzhou's fiasco, no one supported Yuan Shao and Li Yi's fight.

Yuan Shao was very angry at the time, and even scolded people directly, but he also knew that those people's thoughts were right, and now Li Yi's power was obviously stronger than him, if he hurried south, it would inevitably be another disastrous defeat.

Even if he was lucky enough to draw, the result was still unbearable for him, because there was still Gongsun Zan watching over him.

In the end, Yuan Shao had no choice but to admit Qingzhou's disastrous defeat, and after Yuan Tan returned, he directly asked someone to drag Yuan Tan out and beat him with fifty army sticks, and then came to the door in person to apologize to Han Qiong for Han Meng's matter.

Because of the existence of Li Yi as a powerful enemy, Yuan Shao's mind is much clearer than at the same time. Although he still doesn't know what method Li Yi used, Yuan Shao knows that Han Meng must have been framed.

After suffering such a big loss, although Yuan Shao can't directly send troops to find a place, he won't just let it go. Recently, he has been trying to find ways to trouble Li Yi every day.

However, Yuan Shao hadn't thought of any good ideas yet, but Yanrou of Youzhou contacted him suddenly, saying that he wanted to attack Gongsun Zan and asked Yuan Shao for help.

Yuan Shao didn't know that Yan Rou also contacted Li Yi when he contacted him. After thinking about it, he didn't agree, because Li Yi put too much pressure on him. Yuan Shao asked himself that dealing with Gongsun Zan would not happen overnight, and Li Yi wouldn't just sit back and watch him. Youzhou, so Yuan Shao is ready for a truce, planning to join hands with Gongsun Zan to defend Hebei.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, as long as Li Yi fights Tian Kai in Qingzhou, with Gongsun Zan's heart, he will definitely regard Li Yi as an enemy, and then he and Gongsun Zan may join forces.

These are just the layout in Hebei, which is a passive defense, which is naturally not enough. What Yuan Shao really needs is a way to hurt Li Yi immediately. In the face of such a disparity in strength, ordinary strategies are difficult to work.

Until the time of worship, Xun You wrote a clever plan and quietly handed it to Yuan Shao, and now it is placed on the table in front of him.

However, Yuan Shao felt his scalp tingle after just a few glances, and hurriedly closed the booklet.

Because Xu You's method is too ruthless, too vicious, it is no exaggeration to say that he has no conscience!

Chapter 736 Proclaiming Emperor?

Xu You's strategy was actually very simple. He sent people across the river to dig down the embankment on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Simple and effective.

But this method made Yuan Shao's scalp tingle.

It is true that Yuan Shao is ambitious, and his character has nothing to do with the word "benevolence of women". He has done all kinds of things, such as military raids and looting of the common people. Yuan Shao would not care about ordinary innocent casualties.

In essence, Yuan Shao's goal is to control the world, not to harm the world. If possible, he also hopes that the world will be peaceful.

But Xu You's strategy is too poisonous. Once the Yellow River embankment is dug, it will indeed make Li Yi recover for a few years, and it may even directly kill Li Yi, but the price of doing so is really too high .

That's the Yellow River. Once the embankment bursts, Li Yi doesn't know whether he will die or not. Millions of people along the bank will definitely suffer, and tens of millions of acres of fertile land will also become Zeguo!

With Li Yi's reputation for benevolence and righteousness, it is impossible for him to ignore the disaster-stricken people when such a tragedy happened. As long as Li Yi takes care of it, this burden is enough to keep Li Yi from going north for several years.

However, if he really did this, Yuan Shao himself would be finished.

People these days are somewhat superstitious. Even if they are not superstitious, they will instinctively fear the world. Yuan Shao felt that if he did such a heartless thing, he would cut himself off from the world. It is also very difficult for him to succeed in his grand plan and hegemony, and he will even leave his infamy through the ages.

However, when Xu You handed over the brochure, he seemed to have thought that Yuan Shao would hesitate, and wrote a postscript to persuade him. Now that the general trend is on Li Yi's side, and the gap in strength between the two sides will only become wider and wider, Yuan Shao can only give it a go. , there is a chance of winning, otherwise in the future when Li Yi goes to the north, Hebei Wu can only wait to be killed.
