Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Before Guo Jia traveled thousands of miles to Yuan Shao's place, he wanted to start a career. Although Yuan Shao treated him as a courtesy, it was just a courtesy.

Therefore, Guo Jia resolutely chose to leave. With his spirit, he would rather stay at home and remain anonymous all his life than serve such a mediocre master.

Guo Jia was dangling on the donkey's back when he suddenly heard a very unfamiliar accent coming from the front, which made him startled and opened his eyes.

Guo Jia looked around, and it turned out that several people dressed as soldiers were walking towards him carrying a water tank.

Guo Jia hurriedly got off his donkey and let him to the side of the road. Although he had some good friends in Yingchuan, he would not be troubled easily by others, but it was better to avoid these reckless men as long as he could. After all, friends have different identities. There are too many friends, it is better not to ask or not to ask.

However, just as Guo Jia got out of the way, he suddenly found that the water tank that the other party was carrying looked familiar. After a closer look, there was a missing piece on the top of the water tank. Could it be the water tank in his house?

Guo Jia suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, staggered on his feet, and almost fainted.

Guo Jia held the sword at his waist, and his first reaction was to fight the opponent desperately, but he stopped after taking a single step. He is definitely not the opponent of the opponent by himself, and there are more ways to take revenge.

But then, when Guo Jia took back his steps, the ferocity in his eyes disappeared, and his face became strange.

Even if they were rebels, even if their heads were kicked by a donkey, they wouldn't be trying to grab a water tank, would they?

Looking at the village not far ahead, there were no obvious fireworks, as if it had been robbed.

Guo Jia's heart moved, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "How many can I ask, is Xiahe Village ahead?"

The soldiers didn't despise Guo Jia because he was a thin and weak scholar, they hurriedly returned the salute, and then replied: "Up ahead is Shanghe Village, and Xiahe Village has to be walked for more than ten miles to arrive."

Guo Jia was a little relieved when he heard that, seeing the attitude of the other party, he obviously didn't look like a villain, but he didn't ask further, thanked him, and continued to walk forward, but his pace was so fast that he didn't even bother to ride the little donkey.

Soon, Guo Jia entered the village and went straight to his yard. Seeing his mother and daughter-in-law talking at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, his shoulders slumped, and he came forward and said, "Mother, my son is back."

Guo's mother had already seen Guo Jia, and her daughter-in-law went up to look at their precious son for a while. Although Guo Jia had only been away from home for a few months, she really missed him very much.

The three talked for a long time before Guo Jia began to inspect his yard and found that the water tank in the house had been replaced with a new one. The middle is even more clean, not even a blade of grass can be seen.

Guo Jia asked his mother to sit down, and then asked: "Mom, when my son came back, he saw someone took away the water tank from my house. At that time, I didn't want to ask. I don't want to know that there are so many changes in the house. What happened?" thing?"

Guo Jia thought of his good friends first, but even if they were good friends, he wouldn't care so much.

Looking at his family's situation, this kind of concern has been too considerate, and it can even be said to have ulterior motives. Not only did Guo Jia not feel happy, but he felt like he was being targeted by something, and his back felt hairy.

Guo's mother didn't think too much. Seeing her son's question, Guo's mother was moved and gratified to tell the story of Li Yi's first visit, and then sighed: "Mr. The Lord of the Japanese Mansion gave you money, but for your mother's sake, he was afraid of harming your future with General Yuan, so he declined it, and the Lord of the Li Mansion knew what I wanted, so he didn't force it, but "

Mother Guo smiled, pointed at these changes in her yard, and said: "As a result, a few days later, someone came to the door claiming to be a soldier under Li Fujun's command. Can't stop, moreover, Mr. Li knew that his mother didn't want to accept money from him, so he directly asked his people to replace many things in the house with new ones."

Mother Guo couldn't help sighing, Li Yi's attitude is really nothing to say!

However, Guo Jia's heart was even more empty.

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

He boasts that he has some talents, and he can assist Mingzhu to achieve great things in troubled times, but who else thinks so in this world besides himself?

Li Yi?

impossible!

Considering his humble background, if Li Yi wants to recruit him, all he needs is a letter. Is there a need to put up such a big battle to invite the mastermind?

Ever since, the more Guo Jia thought about it, the more he felt that Li Yi had ulterior motives, and his brows were also frowned, even a little apprehensive.

Guo's mother seemed to remember Li Yi's appearance that day, she smiled, and continued to say to herself: "My mother knows that you are arrogant and want to do something big, but you go to General Yuan, and the result is not only Can you come back helplessly? From Wei Niang’s point of view, you can go to Mr. Li’s place, let’s not talk about anything else, let’s see if there is another prefect in this world who is willing to chop firewood and carry water for Niang?”

After Guo's mother said, seeing Guo Jia's silence, she only said that he was unwilling, or that Li Yi, the prefect, was too young, so she couldn't help but her face darkened slightly, and said: "Even if you don't want to, but Mr. Li is so polite to my family. , you should also come to the door to thank you personally, and explain the reason to Mr. Li, and you can't let people say that my Guo family is not polite!"

Guo Jia was speechless. After only a few days, his old mother started to turn to Li Yi, and she didn't even want her son!

Guo Jia is interested in an official career, so he naturally pays attention to world affairs. He knows Li Yi and admires Li Yi quite a lot.

However, Li Yi is different from Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has the same name. Guo Jia went to Yuan Shao to work as a temporary worker for a few days, and then resigned abnormally. Yuan Shao did not embarrass him.

But for a person like Li Yi, depending on how he deals with Dong Zhuo, he is definitely not a person who cares about fame.

People directly put down their bodies to carry water and firewood to invite each other. In terms of sincerity, it is comparable to King Wen pulling a cart back then.

But this kind of sincerity, while showing goodwill, is also telling the other party, you see, I am doing this for you, just promise me, if you don’t agree, hehehe

This was the situation in front of Guo Jia. Although he felt that Li Yi was a good person, he hadn't gotten to know him well after all. What if he went away admiringly and was disappointed, and Li Yi held him back, so what should he do?

Choosing a lord is a prudent matter, Guo Jia is unwilling to be a second minister.

Therefore, Guo Jia didn't agree to his mother for a while, but just made a few vague words, and asked his mother to go back to the house to rest. At night, Guo Jia hugged his wife and talked about Li Yi again. In the end, his wife simply said that the whole family moved Forget it in Nanyang, Guo Jia was very annoyed, and "punished" her severely.

But in the next two days, Guo's mother asked Guo Jia to meet Li Yi several times in a row. Although Guo Jia was smart, he was just a young man who had just passed 20 years old. set off.

However, he was more thoughtful and decided to take a secret look first. If Li Yi was not worthy of his name, he had no choice but to move the whole family out.

Li Yi, who was far away in Xiangyang, didn't know that Guo Jia had started to move towards him, otherwise he would definitely not be so upset at the moment.

When Li Yi was in Luoyang, he liked to wander around, first to feel the customs, and second, to seek chance encounters.

For example, if you meet Wei Yan, Huang Zhong's son, etc., it could even be Gan Ning or Zhang Zhongjing who were incited by the butterfly effect, but Li Yi's good character is probably exhausted, and after three days in a row, he is a suspected celebrity Did not meet.

It's just that, that's all. After all, meeting by chance is a matter of luck. What really depressed Li Yi was that after discussing with Cai Mao, he waited for Liu Biao to summon him, but he didn't expect to be silent for the first two days, and he didn't call Li Yi until the third day. Yi knew that Liu Biao had already gone to Xinye.

Li Yi quickly understood Liu Biao's intentions. He was afraid that he would embarrass him by coming to the door, making everyone think that he was forced by Wan Minshu to fight, which would ruin his reputation.

Therefore, Liu Biao simply sneaked to Xinye before meeting him.

In the eyes of some uninformed people, Liu Biao sent troops on his own initiative, not because he was forced to do so.

Considering that Yuan Shu definitely has no intention of fighting now, most likely he will retreat at the first touch, so this time Liu Biao's army is sure to win, as long as it is done properly, it will be a big victory for Liu Jingzhou!

Li Yi had to admit that he miscalculated.

Influenced by various works of later generations, Li Yi subconsciously felt that Liu Biao was too old to be on the front line in person, but he didn't want Liu Biao to be as cowardly as he was later.

As for Cai Mao not informing him, Li Yi is not surprised, otherwise Cai Mao would be too worthless.

Li Yi weighed it in his mind, and then set off decisively. He also wanted to go to Xinye. He had to show his face in front of him, not for gaining credit, even if it was just for embarrassing Liu Biao.

Because he had just passed by once, Li Yi's journey went smoothly this time, until just halfway through the journey, he met more than a dozen cavalry head-on.

Both sides reined in, and Li Yi asked in surprise, "General Wen, why are you here?"

What Li Yi saw was none other than Wenpin who was scolded by him a few days ago and was secretly wiping tears at home.

Wenpin obviously didn't expect to run into Li Yi, he was taken aback, and then he cupped his hands and said, "So it's the Marquis Xiang, but he's going to Xinye?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right. I heard that Zhou Mu has already gone to Xinye to supervise the battle. As the prefect of Nanyang, how can I stay out of it?"
