Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing that everyone agreed with his words, Jia Xu continued: "So, with Yuan Shu's disposition, if he obtains the jade seal, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, he will treat it as real. How long can you endure in Yangzhou?"

"How can Yuan Shu endure?"

Li Yi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that the palace will be built directly, and I will look around, and then resort to military force, show my teeth and claws, and finally will not be tolerated by the people of the world."

There was a hint of ridicule in Li Yi's tone, which eased the atmosphere in the room a lot.

Jia Xu said: "What my lord said is true. What I have to do is to make friends with Yuan Shu before he actually raises an army, use Yuan Shu's troops to suppress Liu Biao, use this opportunity to accumulate strength, and then look for opportunities, and then use righteousness to fight against Liu Biao. Fame breaks with it."

Li Yi smiled, this deal was very cost-effective, and he was playing Yuan Shu as a winner. In the end, Li Yi could not only take advantage of the trend to increase his troops, but also gain the reputation of being a loyal and good man in the end.

Of course, Li Yi also made a contribution, and that would be to offend the Yuan family. However, if Yuan Shu really raised an army, he would be an enemy of the world, and the Yuan family's face would not be good, not to mention that Yuan Shaoyuan was in Hebei, and Li Yi The distance is so far away that there will be no interest involved at all in recent years.

Even if Yuan Shu rebelled early, he would hold back Yuan Shao's unification. After all, his brothers rebelled, would Yuan Shao still be a loyal minister? Many people would have doubts when they took refuge in Yuan Shao.

In the end, with Yuan Shu taking the lead, there must be many people following the example. Then, when Li Yi wants to do something, there will be a fig leaf.

Guo Jia was silent for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "This method is very good, but how should I deliver the jade seal to Yuan Shu?"

After all, several people all looked at Li Yi, Li Yi thought about it, and said: "After the Kwantung Allied Forces entered Luoyang, Sun Jian obtained the Chuanguo Yuxi in a dry well, and because of an accident, it was handed over to me before he died. "

Everyone nodded. Although they all felt that Li Yi's words were wrong, most of the jade seals were obtained by Li Yi killing Sun Jian. You can tell from Sun Ce's attitude towards Li Yi's endlessness. However, here are all good people, no one will Foolishly exposing Li Yi's background.

With Li Yi's confession, several people know that Yuxi must not let others know that he has a relationship with Li Yi. Among other things, it is just a charge of hiding Yuxi privately, which can make Li Yi incomparable to the world.

As for sending it to Yuan Shu, it's a little difficult. After all, not everyone is a dead man, and Yuan Shu is not a fool. Some things are too obvious. Even if he can't find Li Yi behind the scenes, he will feel that someone calculating him.

Jia Xu and Guo Jia talked in a low voice for a while, but they couldn't find the most appropriate method, and felt very ashamed. As for Li Yi himself, he had some ideas in his mind, but it was not convenient to do it because of his identity. .

Seeing that the two were still muttering, Li Yi smiled and said: "Okay, this is not an urgent matter, you two will slowly figure it out later, but now you can ask a jade craftsman to forge a jade seal, and we can do it after the fake seal is made." It's not too late to discuss."

The two agreed, and Jia Xu said again: "I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, how can Zhou Mu reply?"

Li Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Just as Feng Xiao said, I want to recruit [-] soldiers, haha"

Everyone also laughed out loud. Anyway, the real recruiting should be done after Yuan Shu takes action. As for the current price of [-], it is certain that he will be rejected. Anyway, Li Yi just told Liu Biao that he was very angry about it. .

After laughing, Li Yi said again: "Instead of embarrassing myself, it is better to let the state shepherd know that I am dissatisfied, and then the state shepherd is embarrassing, just to delay the time, anyway, it is not a bad thing for us to delay the matter for a few months .”

Guo Jia and Jia Xu nodded one after another, this matter is basically settled like this.

Then, Li Yi remembered that there were still many people waiting for him outside. After thinking for a while, he said, "Please invite the two deans to come over later, they are indispensable to deal with these aristocratic families."

Soon, during the completion, news came out that Li Yi was going to hold a banquet at the prefect's mansion to entertain the aristocratic families in the city. After hearing this, these aristocratic families did not dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly prepared generous gifts, and arranged for their children to go to the prefect's mansion for the banquet.

This time the attitude of the aristocratic family is much more serious than before. After all, the last time I was polite to Li Yi, it was the need of etiquette. In addition, I didn’t want to cause trouble, so I did a good job of saving face, but this time it is different. Li Yishang The things he took out this time really touched his new heart.

In the few articles released by Li Yi, except for the somewhat incomprehensible method of counting easily, the other three articles are all enlightenment classics.

The aristocratic family had very little contact with Li Yi, and no one suspected that he copied it. So, no matter whether it was out of selfishness or admiration, they dared not underestimate Li Yi in their hearts.

Moreover, how can a family become a family?How can it be enduring?

It is the classics in these books that have laid the foundation for the cultivation of generations of children of the family.

It's no wonder they have such a great interest in Li Yi.

In particular, Li Yi shamelessly only published half of the articles, and told those old scholars in the family that they really couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep after reading them. If Li Yi was not the author of these articles, they might not be able to help scolding Li Yi. It's easy to be a son of man.

When the banquet started, the hall of the prefect's mansion was already full of seats, and even the two families who had a family funeral last time sent their children to participate, which shows that they attach great importance to it.

The only thing that makes Li Yi regret is that Wenpin still didn't come, and the Wen family didn't send other children.

At first it was just a small talk, Li Yi praised the family a few words, and the family also praised Li Yi, after drinking for three rounds, several middle-aged men in the field looked at each other, one of them cupped his hands to Li Yi, and said with a smile : "The eunuch knows, among the scholars in Nanyang, who is the most knowledgeable?"

Li Yi put down his wine glass and said curiously: "It is said that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. I am also very curious about this, and I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to enlighten me."

The person who talked to Li Yi was surnamed Zhang, and he was the head of the Zhang family in the west of the city, Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said: "Well, it's hard to say, after all, the prefect also said that this article is not the first, no matter in the past, if the old man speaks rashly now, I am afraid that he will make the public angry, and he will be punished if he leaves the gate of the prefect's mansion." Some guy hit the sap."

As Zhang Sheng said, he pointed at the crowd at the banquet, and deliberately put on a straight face, as if these people would do something to him, which caused a burst of laughter from the crowd, and even Li Yi was also happy.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Sheng continued: "Of course, this was before. After learning that Cai Zhonglang had settled down in Wancheng, the old man had a private banquet with a few friends, and they all said that this No. 1, Cai Zhonglang has decided."

Cai Yong was also accompanying him at today's banquet, and he said with a smile, "If so, thank you all for your kindness."

The laughing atmosphere in the lobby suddenly stagnated, and Zhang Sheng also looked at Cai Yong in astonishment, thinking that I really admire your reputation, but just now I just praised you, you should be humble, why don't you admit it directly? down?

Are all real Confucians so cheeky?

Someone laughed at Zhang Sheng's dazed effort, and everyone looked, it turned out to be Huang Chengyan.

Huang Chengyan is from Jingzhou. Although not all of these families in Nanyang have met each other, they have more or less contacts. In addition, Huang Chengyan and Li Yi are close, so in a few days, Huang Chengyan has become a "good friend" of these families.

Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "Brother Cai really wants to be number one in Nanyang?"

Cai Yong showed a rare pride and said, "That's natural!"

Just when the aristocratic family didn't know what to say, Cai Yong suddenly sighed and said, "This Nanyang is number one, the old man asked himself so-so, but if Jingzhou is number one, it's a shame."

There are a lot of smart people here. Hearing Cai Yong's tone, he immediately understood that Cai Yong was using himself to build a ladder to raise Li Yi's reputation.

For a while, many people envied and admired Li Yi, and there were really few people in this world who could make a great scholar like Cai Yong willing to be a stepping stone.

Although many people saw what Cai Yong meant, they all showed puzzled expressions. After recovering from his senses, Zhang Sheng even asked: "So, in Cai Zhonglang's mind, there is already a candidate for the number one in Jingzhou." , I don't know who it is?"

As soon as these words came out, many people had already locked their eyes on Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled, as if he didn't know anything, picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then pursed his lips slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the taste of the wine.

Cai Yong smiled slightly, turned sideways and cupped his hands towards Li Yi, and said: "Actually, the old man was actually quite proud in his heart, thinking that the world's literati are nothing more than that. Although he dare not say that he is number one in the world, he is in Jingzhou, hehe, but , A few days ago, after reading a few articles, I realized that everything in the past is just a frog in a well, alas, at such a young age, life is in vain.”

Seeing Cai Yong's gloomy expression, everyone spoke to comfort him, but Cai Yong waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, and then continued: "In fact, everyone has seen those articles. , Concise and concise, but thought-provoking, if it is used as an elementary school, it can be said to be the best, the old man boldly asserts that in the future, scholars in the world may not know their age and cannot recite the Analects, but they must know these three classics, do you think so?"

Everyone nodded one after another, and their faces changed from the previous smile.

The aristocratic family can be passed on for a hundred years or a thousand years, and the foundation has been accumulated from generation to generation. Except for a very few people, the people in the family have good vision.

They got Li Yi's article, and they easily judged the value of this article, saying that it is not impossible for Li Yi's future achievements to catch up with Kong Shengren.

But apart from those articles, Li Yi also has soldiers and horses under his command, and he is still a prefect of a county. Now that the world is in such chaos, it is impossible to estimate what Li Yi's prospects will be, but in short, it is very brilliant .

It is also true that these aristocratic families are willing to praise Li Yi, and a group of people play tricks to raise Li Yi's reputation.

After all, as long as there is no hole in the head, or a personal enmity with Li Yi, they will not choose to have a bad relationship with this kind of person who has a bright future.

Zhang Sheng also bowed to Li Yi, and said with emotion: "I am ashamed to say that what my family received that day was a thousand-character text. Zhang was not on the ground because he was drunk. It was my little grandson who is learning how to read." I accidentally saw it, and asked me to read it to him, and then I realized that this manuscript is worth more than ten thousand gold!"
