Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

But Tao Qian ignored a very important point. Zhang Kai was born in the Yellow Turban, and he surrendered to Tao Qian to save his life. I started my old job.

According to Mi Zhu's letter, Tao Qian was very panicked when he learned of this, and immediately wanted Mi Zhu to meet Cao Cao to explain the whole story, but Mi Zhu was afraid that Cao Cao would kill him in anger, so he dared not agree.

Then Tao Qian asked Cao Bao to arrest Zhang Kai so that he could give Cao Cao an apology, but Cao Bao couldn't find anyone. It can be said that Tao Qian was already in a mess.

After talking about these important matters, Mi Zhu attached a lot of compliments to Li Yi, and the compliments were still tinged with shock, because Li Yi had revealed to Mi Zhu before that he should not worry about meeting the Cao family. Mi Zhu was still puzzled, and it was only now that he roughly understood that what Li Yi was referring to should be Cao Song.

Mi Zhu really admired him so much that Li Yi was able to predict such a long-distance thing, and he was really not a mortal.

Even, Mi Zhu also mentioned at the end of the letter that after Zhang Kai killed Cao Song and led people to flee, Mi Zhu still secretly covered him, because Mi Zhu suspected that Zhang Kai might belong to Li Yi.

After reading the letter, Li Yi handed it to Guo Jia, and said with a smile, "Look at Feng Xiao, for the next three years, the north of Jingzhou will be free from worries."

Chapter 419 Ask Xianghou to be Jingzhou Shepherd

Guo Jia took the letter, scanned it briefly, and then exclaimed: "Your Majesty is so powerful, you have predicted Cao Cao's doom a long time ago, and my subordinates are really impressed!"

As he said that, Guo Jia couldn't help smacking his lips, admiring him, but at the same time feeling a little regretful. He really wanted to publicize this matter to Li Yi, but it was a pity that he had to take over Cao Cao's hatred. It was really not worthwhile, so he had to give up.

After a short period of joy, Guo Jia began to think seriously about the future situation in the north of Jingzhou, and soon, Guo Jia gradually frowned.

Regarding the Central Plains, Li Yi's attitude is very clear and simple. There is only one core point, that is, let Cao Cao have something to do, don't let him have free time to extend his hands to Jingzhou, and at the same time, don't let Cao Cao develop too fast. This is Li Yi's core idea.

As for other people and other things, in Li Yi's eyes, all of them are not as important as Cao Cao.

However, Li Yi is a time traveler, but Guo Jia is not. Although Guo Jia also thinks that Cao Cao is very powerful, he is not as exaggerated as Li Yi. Other places in the Central Plains are equally concerned, so he is not as concerned about the future as Li Yi optimism.

After thinking for a while, Guo Jia felt that Li Yi's thinking was a bit blind, but instead of directly admonishing him, he asked, "My lord, who do you think will be the master of Yuzhou in the future?"

"Yuzhou?"

Li Yi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."

In the previous life, Li Yi’s understanding of the Three Kingdoms was mainly concentrated on the three families of Cao, Sun and Liu. The Yuzhou area did not have a strong sense of existence. The impression was that Liu Bei had been a shepherd in Yuzhou, but in fact it was almost meaningless, and the name was a bit misleading. , and in this world, Li Yi hacked Liu Bei early, and it was almost impossible for Liu Bei to become a big boss like Zhou Mu.

Therefore, Li Yi really has no way of guessing about the future destination of Yuzhou.

However, Li Yi reacted quickly, knowing that Guo Jia would not bring up Yuzhou for no reason, so he asked, "Does Feng Xiao think that Yuzhou will threaten us in the future?"

Guo Jia cupped his hands, and said: "Who the imperial court appointed to be in charge of Yuzhou, Jia can't speculate, but what is certain is that this person is definitely not the former Dong Zhuo's wing, nor is it a child of the Yuan family, and"

"My lord defeated Yuan Shu. Although he has made outstanding contributions in solving the court's worries and problems, except today, I am afraid that no one would really appreciate the lord. On the contrary, there are many people who are secretly jealous."

Li Yi nodded. He naturally understood that this was determined by his background. After all, he can achieve such an achievement as an ordinary person, so where do those big bosses who are good at talking big put their faces?

Guo Jia continued: "It's just that the lord has contributed to the country after all, and Jingzhou's people are attached to him, and he also controls Jingzhou's military power. In addition, Yuan Shu is still alive, so in a short period of time, the imperial court will hardly directly hinder the lord in Jingzhou's affairs. Then, Regardless of whether it is out of consideration for the overall situation of the world, or whether someone is unwilling to be jealous, there is a high possibility that they will make a fuss about Yuzhou. It is not impossible to be an enemy, even to meet swordsmen."

"Well, what Feng Xiao said makes sense."

Although Li Yi has always regarded Cao Cao as the number one enemy, he also listened to Guo Jia's words, and at the same time began to think about how to arrange one or two in advance so as to make some preparations for the future. too passive.

It's just that Li Yi didn't speak out from a family, and he didn't have the background of other people's connections. After thinking about it for a long time, although he had some good ideas, given his current situation, he didn't have the conditions to implement them at all.

Seeing Li Yi frowning from time to time, it was obvious that his words had attracted attention, so he felt relaxed, and said with a smile: "Yuzhou is not in a hurry, and my lord doesn't need to worry, and Yuan Shu has already been defeated by my lord. His reputation has shaken the world, even if the people of Yuzhou want to be enemies with the lord in the future, hehe, he should be the one who suffers first, not the lord."

Li Yi blinked his eyes, thinking that yes, he is so in the limelight now, he is in a panic.

Glancing at Guo Jia angrily, Li Yi scolded with a smile: "Feng Xiao deliberately scared me!"

Guo Jia smiled, and at this moment Zhang Liao came over on horseback and said to Li Yi, "My lord, Xiangyang is here."

Li Yi stopped joking with Guo Jia, looked to the side, and said in doubt: "I remember that this place is still several miles away from Xiangyang, right?"

But Zhang Liao said excitedly: "It's like this, the officials and people in the city, when they heard that the lord has returned from a great victory, they left the city for several miles, just to welcome the lord to return!"

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he took a deep breath and said, "Left and right, change the armor for me. Besides, Wen Yuan, arrange for someone to escort those prisoners to the front, and enter the city after you and me!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Liao went in a hurry, Li Yi hurriedly changed into military uniforms, and then the group of people continued on their way. Not long after, they heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the front. It was very festive, and they approached a little closer. Wherever it reaches, it is full of common people. It is roughly estimated that there will be as many as 3 to [-] people.

After Li Yi's men and horses appeared, someone yelled loudly "Xianghou is back", and then the people bowed to Li Yi one after another, shouting in unison: "I will wait to see Xianghou!"

This is not the first time Li Yi has seen a scene of tens of thousands of people. It is said that with his current disposition, he should be relatively calm, but Li Yi just feels as if something is expanding in his chest, and it seems to be surging out at any time. It's like taking him to the clouds

Li Yi was originally surrounded by Zhang Liao, Guo Jia and others in the middle, but at this moment, he subconsciously urged his mount, and ran out ahead of the crowd, and ran towards the people in front. Seeing this, Dian Wei and Zhang Liao were surprised at first , and then hurried to catch up, there are so many people today, and Liu Biao is still in Xiangyang City, God knows if there are assassins hiding in this crowd.

Li Yi really didn't think so much at this time, ran to the vicinity of the people, jumped off his horse, stepped forward again, stretched out his hand to help the row of people kneeling in front of them one by one, and said in his mouth: "Hurry up!" Please get up quickly, you are all elders, you can't bear it easily."

After finishing speaking, Li Yi gave a deep bow to the people in front of him, an old man standing in the front hurriedly took two steps, and then bowed: "Hsianghou drove out powerful enemies for Jingzhou, we, as the people of Jingzhou, should kneel down Xianghou."

After the old man finished speaking, the person who had just got up bowed down to Li Yi again. Li Yi could only hold the old man by the hand, look around, and said with a wry smile, "Yi, I deserve it."

At this time, Kuai Liang walked over with a group of Jingzhou officials, bowed to Li Yi, and said: "This time Yuan Shu came to commit an offense. As Jingzhou officials, we have lost consecutive battles and lost the city. I can't stop it at all, so that Yuan Shu's army marched all the way west, first capturing Jiangxia, and then threatening Xiangyang. , and I have no words to say goodbye to the elders of Jingzhou, so I can only die and apologize."

"Therefore, the Marquis of Xiang has the grace of rebuilding us, so I ask the Marquis of Xiang to accept my worship!"

After all, Kuai Liang took those Jingzhou officials and bowed to Li Yi.

Seeing this, Li Yi had no choice but to let go of the old man temporarily, and helped Kuai Liang up again, and said with emotion: "Sir, you are so easy to accept!"

Li Yi sighed, looked at Kuai Liang and the officials behind him, then looked at the people around him, sucked his nose, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said again: "Everyone is so kind, Yi, I really feel ashamed ah!"

Everyone didn't know why Li Yi was crying, and they all stared at him, wanting to see what Li Xianghou, who had just saved Jingzhou, was ashamed of.

Li Yi said very sadly: "At the beginning, when I learned that Yuan Shu had invaded Jingzhou, I was heartbroken, but I was not appointed by Liu Shijun, and I didn't see the imperial court's order, so I didn't dare to send troops without authorization. It was not until a few days ago that the imperial court learned that the situation in Jingzhou was urgent. Therefore, Yi was appointed as the General of the Conquest of the South, and asked Yi to send troops to suppress the bandits. My heart hurts like a knife, if I knew this earlier, even if Yi was condemned by the emperor, he would keep Yuan Shu out of Jingzhou, so as not to let a commoner be harmed by war!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yi wiped away his tears again, and bowed deeply to everyone. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was obviously to make amends for those people who were hurt by the war.

None of the people present thought that Li Yi would have such feelings. He obviously made great contributions to Jingzhou. After the war, instead of being anxious, he took the previous responsibility on himself. Everyone was very moved, and many of them had wet eyes.

At the same time, the people also understood why Li Yi sent troops so late. It was because Liu Biao and the emperor refused to let him, but it was not that Li Yi didn't want to. Therefore, the people's gratitude to Li Yi became more and more profound. As for Liu Biao and the emperor, How much gave birth to a bit of complaints.

"The Marquis of Xiang is benevolent, it is our blessing to have the Marquis of Xiang here!"

"Xianghou is the one who truly loves the people!"

"Hearing the words of the Marquis Xiang, I am ashamed to be dismissed from office."

Listening to the various words of the people around him, Li Yi still had guilt on his face, but sighed in his heart. Whether it was showing his true feelings or acting in a show, the connection was so perfect. When it was true and when it was false, even he himself wondered. Can't tell.

Although Kuai Liang and the Jingzhou officials behind him were not as easy to be fooled as the common people, they behaved no worse than the common people. They all acted as if they were moved, and they couldn't help themselves, and there were many who wiped their tears.

At this time, a person suddenly came out from behind Kuai Liang, raised his hands and said loudly: "Han, I have a heartless request, please agree to it!"

Han Song's voice was too loud, and immediately attracted the attention of many people. Li Yi turned his head to look at him, with a smile hidden in his eyes, but on the surface, he was a little sad, and said very seriously: "I don't know De Gao If you have anything to ask, as long as it is beneficial to the people, Yi will never refuse."

Han Song's eyes lit up, he raised his head, and said with surprise: "So, the Marquis Xiang agreed?"
