Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Thinking of this, Liu Biao couldn't help squinting his eyes, looking at Li Yi's actions around Dong Zhuo before, this person is either a true hero who is loyal to the big man, or a cunning and changeable traitor. A powerful figure of means.

If Li Yi stayed in Ansheng in Nanyang, it would be fine to be the prefect honestly, but if he started tossing around in Nanyang, Liu Biao felt that he would definitely be in trouble in the future, so

Liu Biao made a final decision and said, "How to resettle the common people will be discussed after Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have retreated completely, and the county officials sort it out properly. Now we still have to focus on the immediate battle!"

Seeing that Liu Biao rejected his request, Li Yi was not in a hurry, or that this was what he expected, and instead said: "This battle is bound to be won by the state animal husbandry, and it will take a few days to expel Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, but Jingzhou Wealthy, Yuan Shu looted a lot of property this time, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not commit crimes in Jingzhou again in the future, and the situation in the Central Plains is weird, so for the future, his subordinates invited two generals from the prefectural herdsmen to guard Xinye and Ye County respectively. If there is another military turmoil, the gate of Xiangyang will be as safe as Mount Tai."

"You said let"

Liu Biao was surprised by Li Yi's proposal, and subconsciously opened his mouth, but immediately closed his mouth again.

Just now Liu Biao thought that Li Yi wanted to ask him for food and grass to recruit troops, but now Li Yi actually asked him to send troops to Nanyang!

One of Xinye and Ye County is the gateway of Xiangyang, and the other is close to Yuzhou. In terms of military affairs, both counties are located at key points, and their importance is almost as important as Wan County, the prefecture of Nanyang. Moreover, the two cities are located in Wan County The north and the south are like two hands pinching the throat. As long as Li Yi makes a slight change in Wan County, Liu Biao can send out two troops to surround Wan County with a military order.

Therefore, Li Yi's suggestion is to enter the urn by himself, entrusting his life and death to Liu Biao.

Quite unwise, totally incomprehensible!

Liu Biao really couldn't understand the intention of Li Yi's move. Could it be that he wanted to show himself his attitude of being safe in Nanyang?But this level is too much, right?

Seeing Liu Biao's astonishment, Li Yi explained with a smile: "I still look at Zhou Muming's mirror. When I left Chang'an, I only brought three thousand soldiers and horses. Now I am still outside Nanyang. Although I plan to recruit some brave men, I will go to the army After half a year, and the number of people is insufficient, there is no way to defend Nanyang, so we have to ask the state shepherd to transfer troops from other places."

In order to prevent Liu Biao from overthinking, Li Yi emphasized again: "I will never interfere with military affairs."

"Cough cough."

Liu Biao coughed dryly. He really wanted to agree, but he felt a little embarrassed to say that.

However, Li Yi's "showing goodwill" was not over yet, and he continued to say: "I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with the officials of Nanyang Township and County, and I can't distinguish the wise. The appointment of local officials in the township also depends a lot on the state pastor."

Liu Biao couldn't help raising his brows, he wanted to ask Li Yi, the Nanyang prefect didn't want to do it, did he?

Li Yi just lost most of his military power, and now he doesn't even have the right to appoint personnel. Apart from a government office, how much can this prefect control?

Although Liu Biao made up his mind early on that Li Yi should not be allowed to stay in Nanyang too smoothly, and he must be given some restrictions, but he never thought of giving Li Yi all these two most important rights.

For Liu Biao, it is of great benefit to hold Nanyang firmly in his hands, but he can't really do that.

Outsiders don't know that Li Yi took the initiative to hand over Nanyang án bg to Liu Biao. From their point of view, Liu Biao must have "taken" this power. What would the prefects of counties, especially Jingnan counties, think?I'm afraid I have to be on guard against Liu Biao duo án day and night and keep them empty?

Liu Biao thought for a while, but couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only sigh with emotion: "Maybe Yunlong is not very familiar with government affairs, but he has his eyes on the overall situation of Jingzhou. For this alone, no one in Jingzhou is as good as Yunlong!"

Li Yi hurriedly said modestly: "I'm really ashamed. It's not that Yi deliberately shirked his responsibilities. He was really powerless. It was unwise to do it knowing that he couldn't do it. It's fine for me to be ridiculed by others. How can I see His Majesty again if I suffer for nothing? Sigh, so I can only beg Zhou Mu to come forward, and I hope Zhou Mu will never refuse!"

Liu Biao stroked his beard and nodded secretly. Although Li Yi has a good reputation, he has no connections. Such an outsider who came to Nanyang to be the prefect is indeed just like Li Yi himself said. His eyes are so dark that he doesn't know who to use. That's good.

Liu Biao knew this for a long time, and originally thought about seeing Li Yi's jokes, but now that Li Yi has chosen to hand over power, this embarrassment can be avoided, and it can be regarded as a gain and a loss.

Li Yi gave enough steps, and Liu Biao had intentions in his heart, so he no longer declined, saying: "After Yuan Shu's troops retreat, I will appoint temporary officials from the counties in Nanyang to rectify the place. After it is stabilized, if Yunlong sees something wrong with it, he can change it by himself, and the old man will never interfere."

"Zhou Mu Renyi!"

Li Yi yelled, leaned over to thank him, the corner of Liu Biao's mouth twitched, and then hurriedly supported each other. The two really looked like a perfect couple of monarchs and ministers.

However, Liu Biao frowned closely, sighed softly in his heart, and asked, "According to what Yunlong saw, who will be the guard of Xinye?"

Li Yilue pondered for a while, and then replied: "If there is a Wenpin, Xiangyang will have no worries!"

Liu Biao's expression froze, but he immediately returned to normal. He still doesn't know that Wen Pin didn't go to Xiangyang after he was sick, but went back to his hometown directly, otherwise he probably wouldn't be so calm.

Liu Biao asked again, "Then who can be the guard of Ye County?"

When Liu Biao asked Li Yi this way, it was a three-point test, and at the same time, he was giving Li Yi face. As long as what Li Yi said was not too outrageous, he would follow the trend.

This time Li Yi pondered for a while before he said: "General Zhang Yun is the guard of Ye County!"

"Ok?"

Liu Biao's expression froze, and he looked at Li Yi in surprise. If the conversation just now hadn't been normal, he would have suspected that Li Yi was deliberately mocking him.

Even so, Liu Biao was very unhappy, and said in a deep voice, "Yunlong, don't be joking, you don't know that Zhang Yun is still in Sun Ce's hands!"

Li Yi smiled slightly and said, "What if I can rescue General Zhang Yun?"

"what!"

Hearing this, Liu Biao couldn't sit still, his old face was full of excitement, and he was about to ask Li Yi how to rescue Zhang Yun, but after thinking about it, he asked: "Could it be that Yunlong wants to trade with that Sun Ce?" people?"

"Haha, when I came here, I happened to meet Zishang outside the county government office. I heard that the state shepherd wanted him to see Sun Ce, so I planned to go with him and be a lobbyist. Maybe I could convince Sun Ce to let him go."

It's true that Liu Biao really wanted to save Zhang Yun, but he still shook his head and smiled wryly, "No, if you have something good or bad, how can I have the face to call this old man?"

Li Yi explained: "Don't worry too much about Zhou Mu. In fact, Sun Jian didn't die at my hands. It's just that the world rumored that Sun Jian died because of me, so Sun Ce regarded me as the murderer of his father and enemy. Alas, besides trying to persuade Sun Ce to let Zhang go General, at the same time, I also want to settle this misunderstanding."

Liu Biao glanced at Li Yi, and saw that Li Yi didn't intend to explain the specific reasons, so he didn't ask again, but he still said: "The old man sees that Sun Ce's character is a bit reckless, how can he listen to your explanation?"

"Zhou Mu underestimated Li. Yi also has some martial arts skills. Although he can't beat Sun Ce, if I want to leave, he won't be able to keep me."

Liu Biao remembered at this moment. According to Wen Pin, Li Yi fought Sun Ce outside Xinye City, and even seemed to have injured Sun Ce.

So, Liu Biao was moved. Zhang Yun was really important to him to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou in the future. He really didn't want to give up Zhang Yun, just like just now, knowing that there was no hope, he still sent Pang Ji out to negotiate with Sun Ce .

Now for Li Yi, Liu Biao felt that he had persuaded him, and after talking about it, Li Yi still insisted on taking risks, and he felt that he could almost agree.

"Yunlong is like this, so I really don't know how to thank you."

Liu Biao took Li Yi's hand, and while speaking, he waved his sleeve with the other hand and wiped it in front of his eyes, and wept immediately.

Seeing this, Li Yi said with some panic: "The Zhou Mu's words are wrong. Since Yi is the prefect of Nanyang, he is an official of the Zhou Mu. It is his duty to share the worries of the Shangguan."

"Hey, Yunlong, Yunlong will have difficulties in Jingzhou from now on, even if he speaks, the old man will not disappoint Yunlong!"

Liu Biao was also a little moved by Li Yi's performance. He couldn't hold back and made a promise, although the value of this promise is not easy to estimate.

But who is Li Yi?

Therefore, Li Yi said decisively: "Is Zhou Mu's statement true?"

Liu Biao's heart skipped a beat, and he felt bad. Could it be that this kid has been digging a hole for himself?

But just now that he made a promise, Liu Biao couldn't deny it if he didn't accept it, so he could only hold his nose and ask with tears in his eyes, "What's wrong with Yunlong now?"

Li Yi showed embarrassment, and said: "Qizhou Mu, before I left for Xiangyang, I had gathered tens of thousands of refugees outside Nanyang. Now that these days have passed, there are probably [-] people in total. It won't last for many days."

Liu Biao was relieved when he heard the words. He thought what Li Yi was going to do, but after a long detour, he still asked him for food.

Liu Biao knew in his heart that the [-] refugees mentioned by Li Yi must have a lot of water. However, it is not easy for him to ask someone to count them because of Li Yi's various concessions and overtures just now. Teaching Li Yi to be honest in Nanyang is a good deal.
