Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Seeing Li Yi looking over, Cheng Yu didn't put on a cold face, but took the initiative to lean on his body, arched his hands awkwardly, and said, "Cheng Yu has seen the Marquis Xiang, but he is injured. I hope the Marquis Xiang will forgive me for not being polite enough."

Li Yi waved his hand, indicating that it's okay, but then he looked at Cheng Yu's face first. Wrapped in a bandage, he asked Hua Tuo who was following behind, "How is the injury?"

Hua Tuo replied: "The arrow wound didn't hurt the bone. If it goes well, you can walk on the ground in a month or so. As for other abrasions, it's okay."

"That's good."

Li Yi nodded, then looked at Cheng Yu, and said very directly: "Mr. didn't know about Li Yi, but Li Yi already knew about him. He knew that Mr. was very resourceful. He was an official in the world. If it weren't for today's troubled times, the future would be inevitable." Yuan Da, however, the world is fighting endlessly, so that my husband is here, although I have some fights with Cao Cao, but I can't bear to bury my talent and learning, and become a mediocre person, so I beg you to join me after he recovers from injury, and work for me. How about giving him the title of a capable minister who governs the world?"

This time, Li Yi's solicitation was much more direct than when he faced other people before. He just laid the groundwork for two or three sentences, and then he couldn't wait to hand over the olive branch. After all, Li Yi's men are not in short supply. , even though he still loves talents, he is not willing to be a licking dog any more.

Therefore, although Li Yi spoke with eloquence and emotion, he didn't take it seriously in his heart. However, what Li Yi didn't expect was that just after he finished speaking, Cheng Yu sat up with Mao Jie's support , Facing Li Yi, said sternly: "Xianghou is a hero of the world. Yu Neng won the favor of Xianghou. He was half happy and half frightened. Today, Yu was defeated and captured. Not only did Xianghou not humiliate him, he even came to visit and recruit him personally." Alas, Yu is extremely grateful, so Yu is willing to serve the Marquis Xiang, but there is one thing I want to ask, and I hope Marquis Xiang will agree."

Li Yi blinked several times, he felt that he might have heard wrong, because Cheng Yu agreed to his solicitation so easily, how, how is this possible?

It's a bit ridiculous to say that Li Yi's solicitation of Cheng Yu is actually just a kind of responsibility and habit. In the past, and the ancients paid attention to a character and face, so he felt that even if Cheng Yu wanted to agree, he would probably have to stand up for half a year, and finally "forced" to obey him, otherwise he would definitely be stabbed in the back.

But now, Cheng Yu actually agreed directly, which made Li Yi suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.

Cheng Yu lowered his head, looking submissive, and couldn't tell what his expression was, but Li Yi saw that the two big conspirators beside him, Xun You and Kuai Yue, looked equally surprised, apparently the same as him, and did not expect Cheng Yu He actually agreed so happily.

As for Mao Jie opposite Li Yi, although his face seemed distressed, he was still calm on the whole, and he didn't show much surprise to Cheng Yu's answer, probably because he already knew Cheng Yu's thoughts before.

Seeing all this in his eyes, Li Yi didn't know how to speak. He was simply not prepared for this kind of situation. What's more, what was on his mind the most was what kind of conspiracy Cheng Yu must be playing. Tricks, such as cheating him by surrendering or something.

In particular, Li Yi remembers that Cheng Yu is a ruthless person. It is said that he once provided Cao Cao with human flesh for military rations. Although the authenticity needs to be verified, but such a story can be spread, which shows that Cheng Yu is not good in terms of heart or means. Compatible.

Li Yi became suspicious, but he was not sure. He hesitated for a while, not knowing how to respond to Cheng Yu. At this time, Kuai Yue stepped forward and asked for Li Yi: "My lord's love for talents is well known in the world. As long as Zhong De's words are not too embarrassing, my lord will definitely agree."

Hearing Kuai Yue's words, Li Yi came back to his senses, and remembered that Cheng Yu had made a condition with him, but at that time Li Yi focused all his attention on Cheng Yu's nod at the beginning, but gave this point to him. ignored.

Now that Kuai Yue mentioned this point, Li Yi took advantage of the situation to acquiesce in his meaning, to see what demands Cheng Yu would make, and if it was really too much, he asked Kuai Yue to block it back.

Cheng Yu sighed softly, and said: "Yu has already passed the year of destiny, but before he met Mr. Cao, he was just a district magistrate. It's not because of poor political performance, but because Yu didn't want to bow his head to stupid people. , Therefore, when I was an official, I often fought with others verbally, which made the superior disgusted and alienated my colleagues, so I was not promoted for many years."

The corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched a little, and the faces of the other people present were also unnatural. They all looked at Cheng Yu as if they were looking at a strange flower, because Cheng Yu's words directly offended all his former colleagues and bosses to death Fortunately, the previous Inspector of Yanzhou had already died in battle, otherwise, if he knew what Cheng Yu said, he would definitely want to talk to him.

Cheng Yu was very calm, ignoring everyone's expressions, and continued: "However, after Cao Shijun came to Yanzhou, he heard about my affairs, so he called me to meet, discussed the general situation of the world, and had a good chat. The governor's office listens to it, and I participate in all decisions in Yanzhou."

"so!"

Cheng Yu cupped his hands in the direction of Yanzhou, and said: "Cao Shijun has a kindness to Yu Yu, if Yu switches to others, he must first repay Cao Shijun's kindness."

Kuai Yue glanced at Li Yi, saw that he had nothing to say, and asked, "Then how do you plan to repay?"

Cheng Yu faced Li Yi again, and said sternly: "Before Lv Bu made a rebellion and captured Cao Shijun's family, Yu dared to ask Xianghou to send back a son. If this is the case, Cao Shijun must be pleased, and Yu can fulfill his wish. Then I will do my best for the Marquis of Xiang, and will never owe the Marquis of Xiang today's kindness."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yu bowed down to Li Yi, waiting for Li Yi's decision.

Kuai Yue looked at Cheng Yu, then at Li Yi, and stroked his beard, but he couldn't continue to speak for Li Yi, because Cheng Yu's asking price was too high.

Now Cao Cao's family has been taken over by Lu Bu, and they are all sent to Jingzhou. That is to say, if Li Yi catches these people, it will be a trivial matter for Cao Cao to lose face. What is more serious is that Cao Cao has no heir. It was a very serious blow to himself and those around him.

Of course, Cao Cao is very energetic, he can have a few more children, but it will take at least a year before the children come out, and now Cao Cao only has a lonely city left in Yanzhou, he can't afford to wait so much time, Lu Bu would not let him take care of his children at home.

Therefore, if Cheng Yu could exchange himself for Cao Cao's child at this time, it would definitely be a very profitable deal for Cao Cao, and Cheng Yu, a captive, would naturally also earn money.

Li Yi took two steps forward, walked up to Cheng Yu, and asked, "Are you thinking about Cao Cao in this way, are you not afraid that I will have a grudge, thinking that you have a heart for Cao Cao, and plan to find opportunities in the future to join him again?"

This question is very sharp, Li Yi almost directly expressed his distrust, but Cheng Yu looked calm, and replied: "Xianghou has aspirations for the world, and he has the world in mind, can't there be a person who is grateful for the old master? "

Li Yi chuckled and said, "Then let me ask you, if I fight Cao Cao in formation in the future, I will ask you to plot against him for me. Maybe you will do your best?"

Cheng Yu shook his head. This was obviously a refusal, which made Li Yi's people frown. Because of such an attitude, how could Li Yi use him?

However, after Cheng Yu shook his head, he said: "Yu didn't think about it, because the Marquis Xiang has a lot of talents, and there are countless people who are better than Yu Yu. If Marquis Xiang confronts Cao Shijun, he will have a capable person." Why do you need Yu to plan?"

Li Yi took a deep breath. He felt that it was only natural for Cheng Yu to be frustrated in the first half of his life. He just said a few words to him in this short meeting. Although he praised Li Yi a few times, how did Li Yi listen? How uncomfortable, even a little angry.

Just like the question just now, in fact, whether it is from a rational or emotional point of view, Li Yi will never let Cheng Yu plot against his old master, because he will not be able to use the strategy that comes out, and it is easy to let Cheng Yu Cheng Yu's centrifugation was a very stupid choice, but Li Yi still asked because his real purpose was to make things difficult for Cheng Yu.

As a result, Cheng Yu performed very well and perfectly resolved Li Yi's difficulties. He looked very powerful, but in fact he didn't give Li Yi face, because he was a prisoner, and he was so blind after being a prisoner. Li Yi It must be unpleasant.

"Well said, hehe, but let me ask again, Mr. Today is my prisoner, his life is in my hands, but he asked me to return Cao Cao's heir, don't you think this is too much to ask?"

Li Yi asked again, because he was a little angry, and Li Yi was not sure whether Cheng Yu was really willing to submit to him, or if he was planning something, so this question seemed even more difficult to answer.

However, Cheng Yu didn't panic at all, instead he asked, "How is Miss Xiahou?"

Li Yi was taken aback, but couldn't hold back following the expression on his face, squinting his eyes and said, "What do you want to say?"

Although both parties were well aware of Xia Houjuan's matter, no matter who it was, they never mentioned it publicly. This is a kind of tacit understanding, and it is also for the sake of each other's face and future considerations.

Today was the first time someone mentioned Xia Houjuan to Li Yi in public, and Cheng Yu was not Xia Houyuan, what did he want to do?

Cheng Yu lowered his head and said: "On that day, General Xiahou learned that the young lady was rescued by the Marquis Xiang, and he was confused when he cared about it. He didn't understand the Marquis Xiang very much, and he couldn't think about it for a while. In the end, it was Yu who persuaded General Xiahou to acquiesce in the matter. And it is decided that after returning to Yanzhou, I will make Miss Xianghou my concubine."

Li Yi's face twitched. He really didn't know that Cheng Yu actually played the role of a matchmaker between him and Xia Houjuan, which was really surprising.

Moreover, Li Yi probably understood Cheng Yu's thoughts. To put it bluntly, Cheng Yu just told Li Yi that I silently secured the match for you. Do you want to give me some face?

In this regard, Li Yi felt that it was not unacceptable, but his thoughts were still somewhat incomprehensible.

Li Yi took a few steps back and forth, and asked again: "Why did you make this happen in the first place? Could it be that you wanted to rely on me at that time?"

The level of Li Yi's question is a bit poor. Both Kuai Yue and Xun You have helplessness in their eyes. They know that Li Yi is a relatively rational person, but Li Yi is still young after all. Keep calm, but when it comes to small things, sometimes it is inevitable that there will be some young people's common problems of rivalry, and they can't be provoked.

"Of course not."

Cheng Yu shook his head, and without waiting for Li Yi to ask again, he took the initiative to say: "Yu didn't have selfish intentions at the time, but that the Marquis of Xiang was too powerful. Watching the rise of the Marquis of Xiang, Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, these people are right or wrong. No matter, they were all heroes at the time, but in the end they all became the stepping stones of the Marquis Xiang, on the other hand, Marquis Xiang, who was only a commoner two years ago, how terrible is it in comparison?"

Cheng Yu sighed with emotion, and continued: "When Cao Shijun was attacking Dong Zhuo, among the eighteen princes, Cao Shijun was the only one who was sincere in eliminating thieves. Although it failed, the reputation of Cao Shijun's loyalty has been passed down All over the world, the world admires, and when he becomes the master of Yanzhou later, Cao Shijun will be assisted by talented people around him, and will be followed by fierce generals. As long as Yanzhou is stabilized, with this as the foundation, after three years of hard work, the Central Plains will have no rivals. Among the heroes of the world, Cao Shijun must have a place. However, this is all in the absence of Xianghou. Although the foundation of Xianghou is in Jingzhou, but in terms of supporting Xuzhou, Xianghou has the intention of going north. Alas, with Xianghou intervening, the Central Plains I'm afraid there is no room for other heroes, so Yu, as a subject, has no choice but to plan for his descendants."

Chapter 501 The most benevolent and righteous person in the world

After listening to Cheng Yu's confession, Li Yi had to admit that Cheng Yu's vision was strong, although Cheng Yu's calm response made him feel less accomplished.

If Li Yi hadn't appeared, wouldn't Cao Cao be able to traverse the Central Plains after that, and no one could stop him?

Cheng Yu's judgment on this point was very accurate.

Some time ago, Li Yi sent troops to Xuzhou to interfere with Cao Cao. In the eyes of most people in the world, this may be just a simple game. The progress may be blocked by Li Yi.

This kind of vision for predicting major events is definitely the best in the world.

"Hehe, sir, you have good eyesight!"
