Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

I saw Jia Xu dipped his hand into the tea, drew a rough outline of Jingbei on several cases, and said: "Before, Liu Biao joined forces with many aristocratic families in Jingzhou to wipe out many rebellions in Jingzhou, and even married Cai's daughter. He was also appointed by the imperial court as the shepherd of Jingzhou, and now, everyone in Jingzhou belongs to Liu Biao!"

"Although the lord is the prefect of Nanyang appointed by the imperial court, his name seems to be justified, but Nanyang is the gate of Jingzhou if he wants to put this false name into reality. The lord's choice of Nanyang is no different from Liu Biao's teeth, just like Liu Biao's previous struggle with Yuan Shu, how difficult it is. "

"Now Yuan Shu is plundering the people, but Liu Biao doesn't care about it. The plan is to make the Lord difficult, to give the Lord a blow, and even to make the Lord fight with Yuan Shu!"

"Not to mention the failure of this battle, even if we win, the lord's loss will definitely not be small, and with the enmity with Yuan Shu, in the future, the east of Nanyang will be threatened by Yangzhou, and Liu Biao is eyeing the south, so the lord will lose sight of the other at that time. , self-preservation still has no time, how can we talk about great ambitions?"

"Although Nanyang is rich, it is still only a county. If you are not careful, it will become a cage to trap the lord!"

When Zhang Liao and Xu Huang heard Jia Xu's analysis, they couldn't help feeling a little scared on their faces. They were only thinking about the victory or defeat of the immediate battle, but they didn't expect that it would directly affect Li Yi's development in the next few years.

Dian Wei blinked his eyes, seemed to have realized something, and seemed to be even more confused, but seeing Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's expression of understanding, worried about being laughed at, he had no choice but to resist asking again.

"According to what Mr. said, isn't Nanyang now a dead end?"

Li Yi asked, although his tone was questionable, but his expression was calm.

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is the stupidity of taking Yuan Shu. As an official, you should protect the people of the whole place. For private people, you should also leave the name of kindness, even if you are greedy." However, Yuan Shu intends to use up his resources before leaving. This haha, no matter how famous he was in Nanyang before, but after today, Yuan Shu has already lost the hearts of the people in Nanyang. Fighting for the front can make Nanyang Ding Zhuang a pioneer, and his morale will be like a rainbow!"

"Before Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, although he had no soldiers or generals, but he was well-known for his virtuous reputation, and because he was a member of the Han family, the Jingzhou family was willing to accept him. But looking back at Yuan Shu, if his deeds spread to Yangzhou, even with the help of Yuan Shu The reputation of the fourth family and the third prince took down Yangzhou, but the hearts of the people are bound to be terrified, and few people are willing to die for it. It will take at least three years to completely control Yangzhou, and during these three years, Yuan Shu will hardly have the energy to look back. Nanyang, if this is the case, my lord will have nothing to worry about in the east.”

Li Yi also smiled, and said: "What you said is true, I have met Yuan Shao, who is really extraordinary in demeanor, and I have also met Yuan Kai, who is resourceful and loyal, and taught me to break my heart. Like the Yuan family”

"cough cough"

"Ha ha"

Several people couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, which eased the atmosphere in the tent a lot. Li Yi's words were really hurtful.

After a pause, Jia Xu said solemnly: "Although Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, he actually attached himself to Dong Zhuo in order to win the governor of Jingzhou. After Dong Zhuo died, he immediately went to the court. It can be seen that although he is famous, he is actually just a hypocrite. Forget it, this subordinate believes that Liu Biao must have evil intentions!"

"However, looking at Liu Biao's actions today, he actually allowed Yuan Shu to harm the people of Nanyang. Although the lord is about to become the prefect of Nanyang, there is still a bit of fear that Liu Biao has lost his aggressiveness and just wants to sit in Jingzhou for the sake of Forever rich."

Li Yi nodded slightly, and said slowly: "The thieves of the Jingzhou sect were rampant before, and they seemed to be powerful, but in fact they were only suffering from scabies. Liu Biao had a family to help him, so it was not difficult to get rid of it. It was then that Liu Biao understood what it means for princes to fight for the front, and his heroic spirit that he read from the book was naturally almost dispelled."

"That's what the lord said!"

Jia Xu flattered her a little, and continued: "Now that Liu Biao is sitting on the sidelines of Nanyang's chaos, he is giving away the hearts of the people of Nanyang to the lord. As long as the lord uses a little bit of tricks, the people of Nanyang will only know that there is Li Xianghou in the future." , but I don’t know about Liu Jingzhou.”

"You mean making a fuss about recruiting refugees?"

"That's right, that's exactly the case, and we can also take the opportunity to recruit some young men to form an army!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "Very good, but we are new here, so we shouldn't recruit too many troops for the time being, so the upper limit is 2000, otherwise Liu Biao won't let us take root in Nanyang."

After a pause, Li Yi clicked a few places on the sketch drawn by Jia Xu, and said, "Wenyuan, Gongming, in the next few days, you will assign several teams of capable people to gather refugees in Danshui, Xixian, and Zhixian. , set up a shed to give out porridge, give half to sixty percent of the food to the old, young, women and children, and enough rations for the young and strong, but let them go around and search for refugees for us, so that we can use the mouths of the people to achieve the name of our army's benevolence and righteousness, and we can do our best. Avoid conflicts with Yuan Shu's troops."

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang immediately stepped out of the queue, clasping their fists together, saying: "The last general takes orders!"

Li Yi nodded, and then asked Jia Xu: "Sir, there are still omissions."

"My lord has arranged it very well."

Jia Xu was affirmative at first, but then hesitated for a while, and fell silent.

Seeing this, Li Yi said, "If there is something wrong, sir, just speak up."

Jia Xu hesitated for a while, before sighing: "My lord wants to win Jingzhou, besides winning the hearts of the people, there is also the family's heart. Although the lord has gained some people's support by gathering refugees, in the eyes of the family, maybe the lord's name of benevolence is recognized. But that’s all.”

Li Yi's eyes lit up, it was indeed his negligence, and he hurriedly said, "Please teach me, sir."

"This old man indeed has a plan, which can make the Jingzhou family look up to the lord, but this plan is a bit risky, so"

Jia Xu had a bitter look on his face. He was really embarrassed. This was because Li Yi's ideas were in tune with him. Otherwise, he would not have mentioned that risky strategy at all, so as not to arouse suspicion in the hearts of the superiors.

Li Yi also said that there were other reasons, but he didn't want to be this one, and said with a sassy smile: "I am not afraid of lurking beside Dong Zhuo, so what worries does the little Jingzhou have?"

Li Yi said these words with arrogance, which made several people in the tent feel passionate, and Jia Xu even bowed to him: "The lord is so courageous that Xu bows down, and Xu is willing to accompany the lord to Xiangyang!"

After Jia Xu finished speaking, before Li Yi could react, Zhang Liao was startled and shouted, "You want my lord to go to Xiangyang to meet Liu Biao?"

"Exactly!"

Zhang Liao's complexion changed, and he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, in the current situation in Nanyang, Liu Biao is very hostile to my lord. Going to Xiangyang is bound to be dangerous. Please lead a thousand soldiers with you!"

Not to be outdone, Xu Huang said, "The last general will go with us!"

Dian Wei also said in a loud voice: "Someone is the Lord's personal guard, so naturally I want to go!"

Li Yi was very satisfied with their attitude, but he looked at Jia Xu and said, "Sir, you want me to ride into Xiangyang like Liu Biao and plead for the people?"

"My lord is wise!"

Jia Xu bowed deeply, he didn't hear any unhappiness from Li Yi's mouth, such a master is really rare.

However, Li Yi has no opinion, which does not mean that others have no opinion. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang became even more anxious, and shouted: "Master, absolutely not, Liu Biao rode in Jingzhou. At that time, Jingzhou had no owner, and no one made things difficult for him. It’s like a sheep entering the tiger’s mouth!”

"Sir, my lord has treated you very kindly, how can you put my lord at such a risk, if something happens, what should I do?"

Jia Xu bowed his head and did not argue. According to his judgment, Liu Biao had a very good face, and Li Yi was a meritorious official in the court. Therefore, Liu Biao would definitely not kill Li Yi.

However, as Li Yi's subordinate, the strategy of putting the lord at risk is already the limit. In the end, Li Yi can only make the choice, and Jia Xu can't persuade him anymore.

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's attitude was obvious, but Dian Wei thought about it, and said, "Your Majesty, just take me with you. With me here, no one can hurt you if you discipline anyone!"

Zhang Liao said unhappily: "I know you are powerful, but can you withstand thousands of troops and shoot quickly?"

Seeing that several people tended to quarrel, Li Yi raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then smiled under the complicated eyes of several people: "I have made up my mind, I must go to Xiangyang for a trip!"

Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were immediately anxious, but before they could persuade them, Li Yi comforted him: "I know you are worried about my safety, and I also understand that this trip is indeed risky, but it is for others, not me. As long as I want to leave, Liu Biao won't let me stay."

Li Yi spoke without haste or slowness, and was full of confidence, causing Zhang Liao and Xu Huang to ponder.

Li Yi often finds them to practice, and they are not as good as them in terms of moves, but Li Yi's supernatural power is really amazing, even if he is a first-class general, he will stumble if he encounters Li Yi's carelessness.

However, this is not the reason for Li Yi to take risks. Zhang Liao couldn't help it, and went out to worship: "My lord, if you have to go, Liao and Elai will bring a hundred elites to accompany you. Liao will guarantee his life, even if there is a change , to protect the lord Zhouquan to the death!"

"Wen Yuan!"

Li Yi sighed with emotion, stepped forward to help Zhang Liao up, and said, "Although I was in danger when I was in Chang'an, when did you see me really put myself in danger? So, I can go alone on this trip, and take me with you." If there are too many people, the Jingzhou family will underestimate me."

Seeing that Zhang Liao was still not at ease, Li Yi had no choice but to say: "Trust me, I have backup, if Liu Biao wants to harm me, the day we meet will be the day when he dies instead!"

Seeing that Li Yitie was so determined, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others couldn't say anything more, but they couldn't hide the worry on their faces.

Li Yi was a little helpless, because he really didn't go to die, it's just that some of his methods were not easy to explain to everyone.

Li Yi didn't want to discuss this matter any more, so he skipped it and said, "I saw Liu Biao, and I still need to prepare a big gift for him. This matter must be done as soon as possible, and you will wait for orders."
