Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi always believed that Sima Fang wanted to attack him just by gathering some young men temporarily, which was basically hitting a stone with an egg.

But Sima Fang himself knew about this problem.

Therefore, Sima Fang simply changed his strategy and directed the assassination at the innocent Zhang Yang.

There is no direct relationship between Li Yi and Zhang Yang. Even now, the two sides cannot talk about friendship, but at this sensitive time, if Zhang Yang is assassinated on the way to meet Li Yi, it is easy for people to think of the murderer. Li Yi's body.

Who is Li Yi himself is next to Hanoi, Zhang Yang died accidentally at this time, and it is very natural for the general to send someone to take over Hanoi on the grounds of appeasement.

Therefore, Sima Fang made a very wise choice in the face of hatred and the situation. If the sneak attack on Zhang Yang is successful, it will definitely bring trouble to Li Yi, not only in terms of substantial benefits, but also in terms of reputation.

Even in the future, Li Jue, Guo Si and others will have to worry about their own safety, which will cause accidents in many places that could have been recovered peacefully.

Fortunately, God's will was on Li Yi's side, and Sima Fang couldn't make a sneak attack, so he put himself in instead.

In fact, Zhang Yang also understands these things, and Xinye is also very wronged, after all, he didn't recruit anyone, he didn't provoke anyone, and he became the target of Sima Fang's assassination without knowing it.

It's just that Zhang Yang didn't dare to complain to Li Yi, so he could only pretend to be stupid, and poured all his anger on Sima Fang.

Li Yi took a step forward and approached Sima Fang. Sima Fang raised his neck violently, as if he wanted to bite him or scold him, but Sima Fang was stuffed with sackcloth. Not even Li Yi.

Li Yi stretched out his hand, wanting to grab the rag out of Sima Fang's mouth and chat with him, but he took his hand back after thinking about it. He didn't like this family, and he really had nothing to talk to them about.

Under Sima Fang's desperate gaze, Li Yi's gaze only stayed for a short while, and then decisively ignored Sima Fang, looked at Zhang Yang, and said sincerely: "Because of Li's abrupt invitation, General Zhang was frightened. , I hope the general will not blame you."

Li Yi made a gesture to apologize to Zhang Yang, but Zhang Yang dared not accept Li Yi's gift. He bowed to Li Yi first, while gently supporting Li Yi's hand and said: "The general's words really upset Zhang. It's all about Sima's obsession with preventing ghosts, so what does he have to do with the general?"

Zhang Yang looked positive, but secretly he was a little happy.

Although Sima Fang's assassination made him angry, he even had opinions on Li Yi, but Zhang Yang didn't complain, but honestly sent Sima Fang over, because he knew that there was no gain in complaining, and even Li Yi would I'm dissatisfied with him, so it's best to give him to Li Yi to see how Li Yi is.

If Li Yi is kind, he should be given some compensation.

And Li Yi's attitude was very good just now. Although he didn't say it clearly, he should have remembered this favor.

If Li Yi pretended to be stupid, Zhang Yang still wouldn't complain, let alone do anything that would be unfavorable to Li Yi immediately, because he didn't dare, but if something unexpected happened in the future, it would be hard to say.

Li Yi smiled, pointed at Sima Fang, and said: "Sima Fang has been an official for many years, and he didn't want to serve the court. Instead, he intended to harm the court's officials. It's really a heinous crime. I think this matter should be reported to the emperor. I ask the emperor to decide. General Zhang How do you feel?"

Zhang Yang hurriedly echoed, "Some of them are all according to the general."

Li Yi smiled slightly, but then frowned, and asked, "I remember Sima's hometown is in Wen County?"

Zhang Yang immediately replied: "That's right, well, it's also under the control of officials, but the Sima clan is powerful and domineering in the local area, it's really hard to describe..."

Sima Fang immediately glared at Zhang Yang, cursing him shamelessly in his heart. His Sima family has more fields in the local area, and everything else is well-behaved. Before this time, he has never been in trouble with Zhang Yang. After all, he is in the officialdom. People give each other face, but Zhang Yang said that they can't be restrained. This is clearly pouring dirty water on Sima's family and adding insult to injury.

Li Yi showed such an expression as expected, wondering why: "Since the Sima family is powerful in Hanoi, and here is too close to Hanoi, it has been a long time, I am afraid something will happen."

Zhang Yang blinked, and this time he didn't cheer Li Yi up, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't figure out what Li Yi wanted to do.

After a while, Li Yi chuckled and said, "It's better than this. Anyway, murdering a court official is a capital crime, and the person was taken by General Zhang. It's a long night and dreams, so let's just push him out and behead him."

"what!"

Zhang Yang was obviously stunned. He didn't expect Li Yi to kill as soon as he said it, and he killed it so simply that people outside thought he did it.

However, before Li Yi finished speaking, he continued: "However, you should ask the emperor for instructions. Let's say that Sima Fang recruited troops in the important place of Sili, and got [-] soldiers, and then attacked court officials. It is no different from conspiracy. The nine clans should be punished, but His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness is enough to punish the three clans, what does General Zhang think?"

"Very good, very good!"

Zhang Yang secretly wiped off his cold sweat, thinking that the enmity between Li Yi and the Sima family is really big, and they are still playing to kill the roots when it has reached this point.

But at the same time, he also envied Li Yi a little bit. Who else in the world has the confidence to listen to whatever the emperor says?

At this moment Sima Fang struggled vigorously again, his eyes were bloodshot, the two warriors couldn't hold him down, and two more soldiers managed to control him.

It's just that Sima Fang was still struggling, and blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Although Zhang Yang was angry that Sima Lang wanted to kill him, he couldn't bear to see this situation, but Li Yi turned a blind eye, patted Zhang Yang's shoulder with a smile and said: "Sima Fang Yu Sili's serious rebellion will definitely threaten Son of Heaven, General Zhang has a keen eye for seeing the fire, and it is a great achievement to kill the rebels in time, so I am going to write to the Son of Heaven, and make General Zhang the Marquis of Nanping County, hehe, General Zhang, don't refuse."

Zhang Yang's expression faltered at first, but even though he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't help showing his happy face, and hurriedly bowed to Li Yi: "Zhang Yang, thank you, General, for your kindness!"

"General Zhang, why bother? It's all right, right."

Li Yi helped Zhang Yang up, and the joy on Zhang Yang's face was completely undisguised.

Although the big man is in a precarious situation now, the title of the big man is not very valuable, and even if it is sealed, it is nothing. The imperial court can't even control Chang'an, let alone a small county town thousands of miles away.

But these titles are originally a kind of honor, especially for military generals, the ultimate ideal of a person is basically the ultimate ideal of a person who has made meritorious service in battle.

Moreover, it was Li Yi who asked for merit and title for him, which meant that even if the dynasty changed in the future, this matter would probably continue, so Zhang Yang would naturally be happy.

It's just that Zhang Yang didn't notice the playfulness in Li Yi's eyes when he spoke.

Although Zhang Yang came as soon as he was called and looked very obedient, Li Yi knew that Zhang Yang was just showing his favor, not seeking refuge, and Li Yi also guessed that Zhang Yang probably had connections with Yuan Shao.

It is more difficult to attract such a person, and it may require a lot of investment.

That being the case, let's start with the relationship between Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao. Today Zhang Yang picked up the marquis he gave him. Maybe Zhang Yang thought it was just a matter of both sides, but Yuan Shao definitely didn't think so. Difficult to produce real cooperation.

Then Li Yi's goal was achieved.

Such a big matter as the Raiding Hebei must have been done by Li Yi himself. Even if an outsider like Zhang Yang wanted to help Li Yi, he would not be able to trust him. As long as he stayed in Hanoi honestly, it would be fine not to stand by Yuan Shao.

After this matter was settled, both of them were very happy. Li Yi waved his hand casually. Immediately, someone dragged Sima Fang down with a sad and angry expression on his face. Then Li Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Yang Said: "I have prepared good wine for General Zhang. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return. How about it?"

Zhang Yang hurriedly laughed and said: "The general is so kind, Zhang will take care of me!"

The banquet prepared by Li Yi for Zhang Yang was very rich, and all the accompanying officials were there to accompany him. Being Li Yi's subordinate in such a big scene, Zhang Yang was still very nervous, for fear that Li Yi's words of solicitation would put him in a dilemma.

Zhang Yang came to see Li Yi, naturally feeling that with Li Yi's prestige he would not use this method to kill him, but after seeing Li Yi's cruelty to Sima Fang, he was unwilling to lose Li Yi's favor.

What surprised Zhang Yang was that this banquet seemed to be really a banquet. Although there were some serious discussions, most of them were from Li Yi himself. The biggest thing in Hanoi is Li Yi's promise to Zhang Yang that the number of white papers sold to Hanoi will increase by [-]% in the future, that's all.

Seeing the relaxed atmosphere, Zhang Yang gradually lost his vigilance, coupled with Li Yi's kindness, soon Zhang Yang was dazed, and he didn't even know that the general Suigu he brought on this trip had already been drunk by wine. With great strength, I worshiped Zhou Cang, who was also from the same Yellow Turban background.

Li Yi has always been cautious in major matters, and naturally he would not be completely relieved of Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao just because of a Marquis, so Li Yi arranged for Zhou Cang to contact Zhang Yang's general Sui Gu.

Sui Gu and Zhou Cang were both yellow scarves in the past, but Sui Gu was much more prestigious than Zhou Cang at the beginning. He was a handsome man, while Zhou Cang was just a nobody.

But now it's the other way around. Although Zhou Cang came from a bad background, he won the trust of Li Yi and became the administrative second-in-command of Li Yi's personal guard camp. I know there is such a person.

But Sui Gu is far behind, compared with Zhou Cangyi, he is downright miserable.

Li Yi just wants Zhou Cang to stimulate Sui Gu, to let Sui Gu see that he doesn't care about his background, and to let Sui Gu see who is the real hero in the world. This move may not be used in normal times, but in case of a moment of distraction Confused, Suigu may be able to have some unexpected effects.
