Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 153

For Li Yi's arrangement, Xu Shu and Shi Tao not only did not have the slightest objection or dissatisfaction, but were very serious and careful. In their view, this was a test for them by Li Yi. If they do well, they will naturally be reused. , In the future, most of the time, I can only be a small official with a knife and a pen.

They naturally don't know that although Li Yi does have the intention of being a test teacher, he still wants to know more about their depth. It doesn't matter even if their performance is slightly worse. After all, no one is born a genius. Only qualified teachers can train them.

Now that Li Yi has started his career and sent Xu Shu and Shitao to study, he can't afford to waste those few years. Although there is a great Confucian by his side, someone like Cai Yong is famous enough, with good character and cultural level Not to mention, but he is a pure literati, suitable for the construction of spiritual civilization.

Handing Xu Shu and Shi Tao to Cai Yong, regardless of whether Cai Yong is willing or not, Li Yi himself felt that it was a waste.

Therefore, Li Yi could only figure out how to train Xu Shu and Shi Tao by himself.

The two were sent away, and after a while, Cai Yong begged to see him, and brought over the jokes that Li Yi asked him to write. This time, Li Yi expressed his satisfaction after reading it, and even claimed that Cai Zhonglang was indeed worthy of being the number one Confucianist in the world.

Then Li Yi pretended not to see Cai Yong's black face, and asked him to write two more articles, namely "Marquis Li Xiang made an oath" and "Pleading for the people, Marquis Li Xiang rode a horse into Jingzhou alone".

Rao Cai Yong had already made preparations before he came, but he was shocked by Li Yi's shamelessness after hearing Li Yi's words. The first article is nothing more than that, but the second article, you, a living person, have not yet entered the boundary of Jingzhou. I couldn't wait to praise myself first.

There are such shameless people in the world!

Although Cai Yong was full of slander, after Li Yi allowed him to meet Cai Yan, he could only agree.

However, before Cai Yong met Cai Yan, Li Yi got into Cai Yan's tent first.

Seeing Li Yi, Cai Yan shrank subconsciously. This man is really too domineering. He doesn't care what their father and daughter think about what they say or do. Such a man who doesn't care about him, even if he has something to do to rescue Cai Yong. Before, how could Cai Yansheng be favored?

Fu Shou glanced at Li Yi slightly annoyed, then took Cai Yan's hand helplessly, and said, "Sister, don't be afraid, my husband is actually not bad."

These days, Fushou often accompanies Cai Yan. She has recognized the reality clearly and knows that Li Yi will not let Cai Yan go. In addition, Li Yi has been particularly fond of Diao Chan, a foxy son recently, which made her feel a strong crisis in her heart. Feeling emotional, he thought that Cai Yan couldn't hide from the left and right, so he simply pulled her into his camp in advance.

For this reason, Fushou often speaks good things for Li Yi on weekdays. She brought out all the glorious deeds of Li Yi, even Diao Chan's example, saying that Li Yi locked Diao Chan up for three months. She moved a finger to let Cai Yan know that Li Yi is actually a very considerate man and would not force her.

However, Cai Yan's obviously fearful attitude at the moment proves that Fushou's hard work is obviously in vain.

"Shou'er, I have two days to go, and I may have to leave again."

Li Yi didn't deliberately show that he was too warm to Cai Yan, after all, Fu Shou was his real wife.

"Is your husband leaving again?"

Fu Shou's tone was a bit resentful. Although Li Yi always said that she was young and didn't have sex with her, she still accompanied her for a long time, but recently Li Yi was running back and forth, so the two of them naturally spent less time together.

Li Yi sighed: "I went to Yingchuan before to visit a sage of the time, but this time, something happened. You should have heard about the refugees. Since I am the governor of a county, I should serve the people of the same place. call the shots."

Immediately, Li Yi told about his going to Xiangyang, Cai Yan who listened to him secretly looked at him several times, seemed a little surprised that this bad guy is also a person who loves the people.

As for Fushou, when he thought that his husband was going to do such a dangerous thing, his heart hung up, and he didn't care about Cai Yan's presence, so he took the initiative to hold Li Yi's hand, his eyes full of reluctance.

Li Yi comforted for a while, and then stated his purpose today. It turned out that he wanted Fushou, and Diao Chan and Zou Rong took out some cloth and gave them to the women who were fleeing.

To this, Fu Shou nodded and agreed without hesitation, she knew very well that this was trying to win the hearts of the people for her husband.

Li Yi is very satisfied with Fushou's attitude, even though the reasoning is simple, but when the matter is put on his own head, short-sighted people really abound.

Cai Yan, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said, "I can also take out some of my savings and donate them to those refugees."

When Li Yi left Chang'an, he also emptied Cai Yong's house by the way, and promised not to occupy it, and would return it to Cai Yong after he settled down.

A smile appeared on Li Yi's face: "My Yan'er's heart is serious."

Cai Yan was gentle in nature, but he couldn't stand Li Yi's teasing, and said slightly angrily: "Young girl is not familiar with the general, so she shouldn't be called like that!"

Li Yi chuckled, and confessed to Fushou: "Give away Yan'er's share with yours, hey, do you think outsiders will misunderstand Yan'er and me cough cough, do you think I should take advantage of the situation?" admit?"

Seeing Li Yi speak so shamelessly, Cai Yan couldn't bear it anymore, blushing and angrily said: "How long are you going to bully me?"

After all, Cai Yan waved his hands at Li Yi without hesitation. Fushou screamed coquettishly when he saw this, but Li Yi laughed and opened his arms and didn't dodge or hide. Cai Yan's little strength fell on him It's really hard to say who is taking advantage

In the next few days, half of Li Yi's time was spent in the "harem" making noise, and the other half was spent walking back and forth among the refugees to win the hearts of the people.

Soon, the total number of refugees gathered under Li Yi's command was close to 6000. According to Jia Xu's estimation, the number of refugees will increase in the future, but 6000 is enough for Li Yi to build momentum.

So, these 6000 people received a task arranged by Li Yi, asking them to press their fingerprints on a piece of white cloth.

Regarding the purpose of fingerprinting, I also told the people that their new prefect, Li Liyi and Li Xianghou, the left general of the great Han Dynasty, wanted to enter Xiangyang to plead for them, but Li Yiren was very light-hearted, worried that Liu Biao would not be able to say anything, and hoped that the people would give him a favor. A "Book of All Peoples"!

The people are naturally very willing to this. Liu Biao didn't care about their life and death before, and then Li Yi gave them food and drink, and even swore for them. Comparing these two, it's really a heaven. Underground, so when you press your fingerprints, you are cruel enough. Many people don't use the ink pads that Li Yi gave, and they have to press bloody fingerprints.

Soon, the book of ten thousand people that Li Yi needed was ready. Who knows how 6000 people had pressed more than 2 handprints, and Li Yi even let out the rumor that he had recruited more than [-] refugees.

On this day, Li Yi rushed out of the camp alone with a rucksack on his back. The refugees on both sides of the road saw him and knew that Li Yi was going to Xiangyang. They were all grateful and knelt down to see off their Lord Li.

But what the people didn't see was that Dian Wei and several Qingqi approached after leaving the camp for about two or three miles.

It is true that Li Yi wants to ride into Xiangyang alone, but he doesn't know the way, and he still needs someone to give him a ride.

Because there was no large group of people to drag him down, Li Yi and his party walked quickly, and encountered Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses a few times on the way, but after Li Yi revealed his identity, no one was stupid to make things difficult for him. Yi wrote a warrant to keep him out of trouble later.

After all, Li Yi is the prefect appointed by the imperial court. He is quite famous and has some connections with the Yuan family. He only brought a few people with him. Obviously, he did not come to seek trouble. Under such circumstances, unless Yuan Shu personally ordered it, how could the people below dare To Li Yi?

However, these few contacts made Li Yi guess more about Yuan Shu's thoughts.

Yuan Shu's army plundered the people of Nanyang, probably only for money. As for whether harming the people would make him turn against Li Yi, in Yuan Shu's opinion, he obviously couldn't. After all, he was just a group of untouchables.

Regarding this, Li Yi could only complain again in his heart: "It doesn't look like the Yuan family!"

Two days later, Li Yi was still more than 30 miles away from Xinye, and there was a road leading directly to Xinye. Li Yi asked Dianwei and others to go back, and the next step was his own performance.

Dian Wei was worried and didn't want to leave, but under Li Yi's order, he had to follow orders.

Li Yi walked forward alone for a while, and suddenly saw soldiers and horses stationed in front of him, the number was no more than a hundred, and the flags were Yuan Shu's men and horses. Li Yi had encountered this situation several times, so he didn't panic, and continued to march forward, but After approaching, a cavalry suddenly protruded from among the soldiers and horses. A golden armored general on the horse held the overlord's spear, pointed at Li Yi from a long distance, and shouted: "You dog thief! Give me back my father's life! "

That person's voice was like thunder, although the distance was still far away, but the murderous aura was as real as it was, making people dare not look directly at it.

Li Yi was startled, and looked intently, it was the little overlord Sun Ce who had met once and felt pretty good.

Li Yi thought it was unlucky. Before he left, he made a special inquiry and found out that the general Yuan Shu stayed in Nanyang was Ji Ling. As for the other lieutenants, there was no name of Sun Ce. Li Yi just assumed that Sun Ce was not in Nanyang, otherwise he would definitely be cautious during this trip. many.

In fact, this can only be blamed on Li Yi himself for not thinking carefully.

In Li Yi's eyes, Sun Ce, the little overlord, is naturally famous. All the generals under Yuan Shu's command combined may not be as good as Sun Ce alone.

However, after Sun Ce lost his father and voted for Yuan Shu, although Yuan Shu admired him, he also feared him, so he annexed Sun Jian's old army by means of means, and only made Sun Ce a military lord.

Sun Ce's situation was so bleak, Li Yi naturally couldn't find out about him.

Ji Ling was even more wicked and asked Sun Ce to "collect food and grass" near the Xinye garrison. In case the Xiangyang army was dispatched one day, Sun Ce would have to flee if he did not die, and Sun Ce would be punished at that time.

However, what Ji Ling didn't expect was that before he could trick Sun Ce, he had tricked Li Yi first.
