Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Because of Li Yi, Yuan Shao actually wanted to reconcile with Gongsun Zan a long time ago, and tried his best, but with little success, and now let Xu You pass without thinking, no matter how you look at it, it is very difficult to do it.

Although he had some thoughts in his mind, Yuan Xi didn't dare to question Yuan Shao, and immediately bowed to accept his orders, seeing that Yuan Shao had nothing else to order, he quietly withdrew.

After Yuan Xi left, Yuan Shao continued to stay on the tower alone, facing the south for a long time, until the charcoal fire on the side was extinguished, and he could no longer feel the slightest warmth, Yuan Shao let out a long breath, and then Step down the tower.

Although Li Yi is strong, Yuan Shao is not afraid of him. Although he has no clever schemes, so what. Thinking of him, the fourth generation and third father of the Yuan family, how can he be afraid of a villager in the mountains, not to mention the natural danger of the Yellow River. As long as he keeps this line of defense, he still has hope!

Li Yi didn't know that when he was at his happiest, the Yellow River embankment was almost in danger. During this period of time, Li Yi had thought about the Yellow River, because Li Yi really got too much satisfaction from this tour.

Li Yi had just walked to Donglai, and suddenly a local official from Jingzhou jointly signed a letter, saying that Li Xianghou's virtues and achievements are so good. Anyway, Li Yi is not weaker than the previous wise kings and sages. Dabao.

Although there have been cases of persuading Li Yi to become emperor in the past, in fact, everyone knows that Li Yi did not intend to become emperor so early, and those who persuaded him were mostly just to build momentum.

But this time is different, those people below are serious.

From Li Yi's entry into Donglai to his departure, in just a few days, there were more than 20 officials who persuaded him to become emperor.

At first, Li Yi was calm, just pressed the button without responding.

But this kind of thing can't be concealed. After the news spread, some people will have to guess whether Li Yi wants to become emperor, or does he not want to become emperor?

They don't quite understand this question, but one thing is true, that is, they must quickly follow suit and write a letter to persuade them to advance, otherwise everyone will show their performance, but they will remain silent. I am afraid that they will be "viewed differently" by Li Yi in the future?

So, since Li Yi's tour of Donglai ended, he turned around and started westward, and the princes who persuaded him to become emperor followed one after another, going up to the governor of a state, and down to the county magistrate and county magistrate. Almost every day, Li Yi received persuasion. He is called the Lord of the Emperor.

Li Yi still held his tongue. On the one hand, he wanted to see the attitude of his subordinates, and on the other hand, Li Yi himself was told by those officials who persuaded him to be a little restless.

Now Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, all such large places listen to his orders, and the southernmost Jiaozhou also obviously depends on his color and situation. With such a thick capital, it is difficult to make excuses for being modest.

This situation, when Li Yi returned to Linzi, reached an extreme. Dozens of military officials who were left behind by him bowed down in unison and asked him to ascend the Great Treasure.

Faced with that kind of enthusiasm, Li Yi doubted that if he hadn't been personally leading the army all the time, the following group of people would probably give him a yellow robe.

Now they don't dare, and they can't do it without Li Yi's order.

Under such circumstances, Li Yi really couldn't bear it anymore, that is, the emperor is still in Chang'an. Once he proclaims himself emperor, he will directly confront the court of Chang'an and suffer a loss in righteousness, otherwise Li Yi will definitely nod .

Just when Li Yi was vacillating and his heart was about to move, Jia Xu sent him a letter. Originally, Li Yi thought that Jia Xu would also join in the fun, but after opening it, there were only a few words in the letter:

The lord became a great treasure, established the country and established a system, and naturally granted meritorious officials, so the warriors in the past were all ministers, and who will be the lord afterward?

Chapter 737 Patrol

Jia Xu and Li Yi said very little, but it had a great effect. For Li Yi, who was struggling to become emperor or not, it was like seeing the sun behind the clouds, and it also made Li Yi understand many things.

Proclaiming the emperor, or earlier, to boost morale, but also cut off the retreat of some guys, let the big guys desperately grab the fat in other people's bowls.

Or just be a little more straightforward, still hanging people with fat to fight for their lives, but this piece of fat has already fallen from the hands of the enemy to the hands of the lord.

Li Yi's situation is the latter. Proclaiming emperor now is tantamount to throwing the fat in his hands to the left and right to divide up, which is naturally unwise.

For Li Yi, whether he becomes emperor or not does not affect his own authority at all, but for the people below, it is very important, and it is even worth their efforts to care about it, because after Li Yi becomes emperor, the rewards for them are basically It is determined that in the next hundred years, or even thousands of years, the status of their family and the future of their descendants will have a great relationship. Therefore, many people who were originally calm began to become restless after others started.

However, Li Yi still has Hebei that has not been recovered. The Northwest and Southwest also need elite soldiers to conquer. It is time for his subordinates to continue to work hard. , but there must be a considerable part of it corrupted by money and beauty, and even the vigor of the entire army will be reduced.

Thinking of this, Li Yi was very moved, and had to praise Jia Xu for his vicious eyesight, she could tell the truth with a single word from thousands of miles away.

However, Jia Xu is not the only one who can see this.

After that, one after another, three more people spoke to Li Yi, clearly stating that they believed that proclaiming the emperor would do more harm than good, and asked Li Yi to think again.

The three were Guo Jia, Kuai Yue, and Xun You.

In addition to these three people, there are others who have revealed similar meanings, but their statements are ambiguous and vague. Li Yi can understand it, because this matter can easily offend all the future dignitaries, and even offend himself. It's hard to speak.

Because of this matter, Li Yi stayed in Linzi for a longer time. Then, one morning, Zhang Liao led more than ten officers in the army, and once again persuaded Li Yi to obey the will of heaven and the people and proclaim himself emperor as soon as possible. Furious, he reprimanded Zhang Liao for his lack of success, and then Chen Deng took the opportunity to slander him. As a result, after Zhang Liao lost his position as the governor of Qingzhou, he lost his governor and went to Xuzhou to train soldiers in desperation.

Later, in order to show that he had absolutely no disobedience, Li Yi wrote a letter to the emperor, claiming that he was so loyal that he could shine on the sun and the moon, and that those people below were talking nonsense because he was incapable of discipline, but for the sake of their past achievements, he still Please don't blame the emperor, Li Yi is willing to accept the crime on his behalf, and ask the emperor to cut off his general and marquis, as long as he doesn't blame his subordinates.

The letter of apology was jointly written by several first-rate counselors. It can be said to be sincere and sincere. Li Yi believes that the little emperor will be so moved that he dare not move after reading it.

All fools know that now the emperor can only "coax" Li Yi, and then procrastinate for a day. If he really dares to cut Li Yi's power...

Maybe without Li Yi's army going to Chang'an, Li Jue would tie him up and send him to Li Yi.

The matter of proclaiming emperor came to an end with Li Yi's plea, and the only ones left in Qingzhou were incompetent people like Chen Deng, Zhou Yu, and Wei Yan.

For this reason, some people felt that something was wrong and wanted to make some suggestions to Li Yi, but the person who wanted to make the suggestion was not high enough, and the person who was high enough understood the reason. So, after people persuaded Li Yi to become emperor, soon Then another news came out:

Chen Deng is a villain, and he won the victory of some righteous struggles by the despicable means of selling his sworn brothers and daughters.

This rumor hit Chen Deng very hard, and even Li Yi was involved, but Li Yi didn't take it seriously. With his current authority, it is not something that can be affected by a small matter, and after the plan is successful, this matter There will also be an excellent effect of wanting to promote before suppressing, and what he can get at that time will be a hundred times, a thousand times what he paid today!

Afterwards, Li Yi disbanded the large army and organized the various ministries. He himself took his personal guards up the Yellow River and along the road to the city, and continued to patrol westward.

On this day, Li Yi and his party traveled to Gaotang.

Gaotang is still in the border of Qingzhou, which belongs to Pingyuan County. When Yuan Tan went south, the county magistrate of Gaotang took the initiative to welcome Yuan Tan into the city. Think of such a little county magistrate.

So, he was tragic.

After Li Yi ruled Qingzhou, it was determined that there was no background behind the magistrate of Gaotang, so he beheaded him as a typical example of collaborating with the enemy.

This can be regarded as a warning to those who have a heart for the Yuan family, let them see clearly, and don't stand on the wrong team again in the future.

Wandering around the city, I met representatives of the local people and aristocratic families. After everyone was happy, Li Yijing was very moved, called a group of close people, and went out hunting with a small number of personal guards.

This visit to Li Yi is very leisurely. Apart from meeting local people, he basically has nothing to do. He is like a mascot, just waiting for people to come and pay respects.

Once or twice is okay, all the way to Gaotang, several cities are like this, Li Yi is naturally bored, and inevitably wants to relax, anyway, for him, taking his subordinates out to "play" is actually a kind of team building .

Moreover, although Li Yi has been to the north for a long time, he has not seen the Yellow River with his own eyes, and Gaotang is adjacent to the city of the Yellow River.

The group went out of the city in the morning and hunted in the morning. Although Li Yi himself had nothing to gain, there were a lot of good players around him, especially Tai Shici, who had every shot. If he didn't keep his hands intentionally, the hunt could be over in an hour.

At noon, Li Yi pointed to the Yellow River embankment, and everyone set up a bonfire on the embankment. While watching the Yellow River, they enjoyed wine and meat. Although the taste was not as good as the delicacies in the city, having dinner with the scenery of the Yellow River added a bit more boldness taste.

After drinking and eating, Li Yi's face was slightly drunk, and he came to the embankment, looking at the water of the Yellow River, which was almost invisible at a glance, in awe, his current combat power was invincible, but if he jumped into In the Yellow River, Li Yi still didn't think he could survive.

Li Yi pointed to the water of the Yellow River and asked, "Does the military commander know if there are dragons in the Yellow River?"

It was rare for Kuai Yue to relax at this time. He was holding a wine glass and squinting his eyes. He seemed to be enjoying himself very much. Hearing Li Yi's question, he immediately shook his head and said, "My lord is embarrassing my subordinates with this question."

Li Yi looked at the others again, and everyone shook their heads in confusion.

Dian Wei asked curiously: "My lord, why do you ask this question? Could it be that you want to eat that dragon meat?"

Li Yi couldn't help laughing, and explained: "I saw it once in the moat of Xiangyang City. The dragon was more than two feet long, and it was very vicious. When I saw it, I was afraid in my heart. I was afraid that he would come out of the water and hurt people, so I didn't dare to approach it. River bank, so I wonder if there will be such ominous creatures in the Yellow River."
