Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"However, Dong Zhuo has promoted me, and I have to repay it. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo's death, I tried my best to keep his body from being humiliated. I also turned a blind eye to the escape of his subordinates and relatives, hoping to repay the previous love."

Zhuge Liang hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can we clear things up like this?"

Li Yi smiled and shook his head, and said: "Love is divided into two words, the most difficult to say, even now, when I think of what happened in Luoyang, I feel guilty from time to time, but"

Just as he was talking, Li Yi's tone suddenly changed, and he said with a bit of sternness: "Although I feel ashamed in my heart, I have never regretted it at all, because a man walks in the world, and when he encounters what he should do, even if he bears thousands of infamy You have to go forward bravely, and when you encounter something you can't do, you can't hesitate even if you use a knife and an axe!"

"The reason why you feel hesitant now is because you still don't know what to do and what not to do. It's just that it's inconvenient to say what it means, and you can only experience it with your heart. Fortunately, you are still young, and you can follow me in the future. Look more, think more, if you can understand clearly, in the future I will personally tie your hair and crown you, and present you with a watch letter."

Chapter 305 Yuan Shu wants to break Li Yi's retreat

Regarding Zhuge Liang's psychological problems, Li Yi can only use a relatively fake routine to fool him, and let Zhuge Liang temporarily let go of this heart problem. Li Yi himself can't tell how much the effect will be.

However, Li Yi is not very worried. After all, as long as Yuan Shu becomes emperor, it means that his life will enter the countdown, and when Yuan Shu is gone, how can he affect Zhuge Liang?

Moreover, judging from Zhuge Liang's original achievements, that tenacity of heart is really not comparable to that of ordinary people. Now he is just too young to be so entangled. Li Yi believes that as long as Zhuge Liang is given enough time, he will solve this problem by himself. I can figure it out.

After confirming Zhuge Liang's ownership, it was much easier for Li Yi to deal with other matters in Yangzhou, but Li Yi's next actions were more low-key than at the beginning.

Because after the New Year, although Yuan Shu didn't say anything, and didn't express any dissatisfaction when getting along with each other, but after Li Yi reflected several times, he felt that Yuan Shu probably guessed that Zhuge Liang's matter was behind him.

Therefore, in order not to make Yuan Shu feel bad for him, when Li Yi came into contact with people, he basically only talked about romantic affairs and did not talk about business. Where did he come from as a prodigal son.

But no matter what Li Yi does, Yuan Shu's enthusiasm for Li Yi remains the same as before, and he has expressed it more than once, hoping that Li Yi can join him and play for him, but Li Yi's attitude is the same as at the beginning, and he declined all of them. Yuan Shu's patience is also true It is good enough, rejected hundreds of times, still "infatuated".

In addition to Yuan Shu, there are two other people who have more contact with Li Yi are Yuan Yao and Yuan Huan.

The former, like his father, also wants Li Yi to be his younger brother, probably because he wants to show that he treats people with sincerity, and he actually took the initiative to tell the story of Zhang Xun arranging to speak to Yuan Shu at the New Year's banquet.

As for Li Yi's "sincerity" towards Yuan Yao, apart from expressing shame, he really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, this guy with an unreliable mouth obviously didn't have Yuan Shu's self-cultivation. After being rejected by Li Yi twice, his face turned black. He felt that the dignity of the prince of Yangzhou had been insulted, and he seldom contacted Li Yi proactively.

But Yuan Huan is still very interesting, as always, he took the initiative to join Li Yi's side, only to have the word "upside down" written on his forehead.

Li Yi suspects that Yuan Huan has other plans, but in fact, Yuan Huan has no desires or demands. He doesn't ask Li Yi for anything, and he doesn't ask for information. For the kind of person he likes, Li Yi will avoid Yuan Huan and leave.

In this way, Li Yi lived in Shouchun until the eighth day of the first lunar month. After a secret meeting between Li Yi and Yuan Shu, Li Yi bid farewell to Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu had expected this for a long time, and knew that Li Yi had to go back, so he was just being polite and didn't force him to stay.

Moreover, Yuan Shu also gave Li Yi a lot of property, but Li Yi only accepted half of it, and most of them refused to take it on the grounds that Yuan Shu would inevitably spend a lot of property in the future.

Yuan Shu was very moved by this, because in the secret talk between Li Yi and him, it was roughly agreed that if Yuan Shu sent troops to Jingzhou in the future, how Li Yi should respond, how the two sides should cooperate, and then at the lowest cost, in the shortest time. Jingzhou.

The plan was very good, which made Yuan Shu happy. However, what Yuan Shu didn't expect was that Li Yi didn't ask him for any benefits. Whether it was armor or food, Li Yi said that he would prepare everything by himself, and Yuan Shu didn't need to worry about it.

In the end, Yuan Shu was really sorry, and Li Yi just mentioned that he might buy grain from Xuzhou in the future. If the grain team passed near Yangzhou, I hope Yuan Shu can take care of it.

Yuan Shu naturally agreed to this. After all, a talent like Li Yi who is loyal to him in all directions is really hard to come by.

In the early morning of this day, Yuan Shu watched a team of nearly 500 people, under the banner of Li Yi, leave the city from the west gate of Shouchun City and head towards Jingzhou. Only when the last corner of the banner disappeared at the end of the road did Yuan Shu let out a sigh and said to the left and right: : "Jingzhou Liu Biao, a prodigal old dog, with such a talent, not only can't be reused, but his life is repeatedly killed, hehe, God will let me replace Jingzhou!"

Yang Hong, who was by Yuan Shu's side and came to see him off, said, "After all, not everyone has the foresight of the Lord. What Liu Biao relies on is only his blood status. Apart from that, the Lord's virtue is a hundred times stronger."

Yuan Shu laughed out loud. He was born to be at odds with Liu Biao, and when he mentioned Liu Biao, he couldn't help but sneer.

But soon, Yuan Shu's smile subsided a lot, and he said to the people who followed him: "The Marquis Xiang is already on his way, everyone should go back too. At the beginning of the new year, people from all over the world are slack. You are Yangzhou officials, and you should set an example. Don't be negligent."

As Yuan Shu's words fell, the people who came to see him off left in a hurry, and finally only a few of Yuan Shu's cronies and Yuan Yao were left by Yuan Shu's side.

Yuan Shu glanced at Yuan Yao, thought for a while, and said, "Li Yi is about the same age as you, but his talent is far superior to yours. You encouraged yourself at that time, and you must work harder in the future, you know?"

"Son remembered."

Although Yuan Yao was a little dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's blatant statement that he was not as good as Li Yi, he didn't dare to express it, so he could only bow down.

Yuan Shu nodded, and said again: "Okay, you can go down now."

Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking that Yuan Shu would continue to educate him, but he didn't expect to let him go in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Yao looked at the people around Yuan Shu again, and suddenly realized that Yuan Shu wanted to discuss important matters with these people, so he wanted to drive him away.

Thinking of Yuan Shu's tone and expression when he asked everyone to retreat, Yuan Yao suddenly realized that he should have left at that time, but he stayed behind without knowing how to advance or retreat, and asked Yuan Shu to chase him away again.

Inexplicably, Yuan Yao felt his heart ache. When Zhuge Liang was here, it was fine for Yuan Shu not to see him, but now that Zhuge Liang is gone, Yuan Shu still doesn't pay much attention to him, really aggrieved.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Yuan Yao didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shu's intention, bowed to Yuan Shu, then bowed his head and quietly retreated.

Looking at Yuan Yao's back, Yang Hong couldn't help persuading him in a low voice: "My lord, the Eldest Young Master has already had some experience, and Hong privately thinks it's okay to let the Eldest Young Master participate in some confidential matters."

Yuan Shu sighed softly, and said: "Changyou's words are reasonable, and it's okay to leave ordinary things to him, but he's young after all, so he's a little less calm."

Although Yuan Shu was only talking about Yuan Yao, the people around Yuan Shu could tell that Yuan Shu was comparing Yuan Yao with Li Yi.

Everyone didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and they didn't want to praise Yuan Yao against their will, but if they praised Li Yi, it would be too disrespectful to Yuan Yao.

After a while, Yan Xiang coughed dryly and asked, "My lord left me here, what is there to discuss?"

Yuan Shu turned his gaze to the direction where Li Yi was leaving again, with a serious expression, and said, "Although I laughed at Liu Biao for being talented, I couldn't reuse them. However, I knew in my heart that this was nothing more than laughing at fifty steps."

Yan Xiang immediately understood what Yuan Shu meant, and asked, "Li Yi is still unwilling to accept the lord's solicitation?"

Yuan Shu sighed, shook his head and said, "No matter how much I try to lure him, he is still unwilling to agree. Alas, he is still willing to give his full support in Jingzhou, which really puts me in a difficult position."

Hearing the words, most of the people in the room looked a little unhappy. After all, it was a bit too much for Li Yi to reject Li Yi's repeated rejection with Yuan Shu's status.

Zhang Xun said in a deep voice: "In the future, as long as the lord wins Jingzhou, it's not up to him whether Li Yi will join him or not. Moreover, Li Yi is not very important now that Jingzhou is in his hands."

Yuan Shu glanced at Zhang Xun, but said nothing.

After the New Year's banquet, Yuan Shu specially sent people to inquire about the movements of many people including Yuan Yao, so Yuan Shu knew a lot of things, including that Yuan Yao recruited Li Yi rashly in private, and after the recruitment failed, some Angry news.

This made Yuan Shu feel very disappointed with Yuan Yao. Although his Yuan family has a noble status and is often "indifferent", it depends on the situation. As long as they are not hostile to talents, the Yuan family respects them very much.

Although Li Yi came from an ordinary background, he was also a prefect of the same place and had a great reputation, but what about Yuan Yao?Although it is backed by Yuan's family, apart from this, there is no other excellence.

Therefore, Yuan Yao's solicitation of Li Yi in a private capacity was clearly a contempt for Li Yi, and he made a bad move, and later became angry from embarrassment, and even lost the Yuan family's demeanor.

In fact, Yuan Shu suspected that Zhang Xun's attitude at this time was probably influenced by Yuan Yao.

"General Zhang's words are wrong."

Yan Xiang took Zhang Xun's words, shook his head and said: "Li Yiruo helped the lord to win Jingzhou, even if he is unwilling to continue to be an official in the end, we should treat him generously for both public and private purposes, otherwise people in the world will think that I am waiting to cross the river and tear down the bridge. How will my lord recruit talents from all over the world?"

Zhang Xun touched his nose in embarrassment, cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Zhang has been taught."
