Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi was angry, but his anger was not directed at Zhao Da.

Li Yi held a letter and a battle report in his hand.

The letter was written by Gao Shun himself, and it told Li Yi exactly what happened to Zhao Da in Yanzhou.

Because Li Yi concluded that Le Jin's surrender to Lu Bu was a false surrender, Li Yi was very worried that Lu Bu would be tricked by Cao Cao, and then one day he would die directly and let all Yanzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands, so Li Yi sent Zhao Da over there, Let him observe the situation in Yanzhou, and tell Lu Bu about Le Jin's false surrender at the right time, or tell Lu Bu and Le Jin at the same time.

Although Zhao Da is not very smart, he was the head of Li Yi's bodyguard anyway, so he is not stupid. After he arrived in Yanzhou, he found a place to live in peace, and inquired about the movements of Lu Bu and Cao Cao's soldiers and horses every day. There was no other action until the situation arose.

Until a few days ago, because of the consideration of spring plowing, Lu Bu gathered his troops again, hoping to defeat Cao Cao in a single battle, so as to avoid future mistakes. At this moment, Le Jin took advantage of the situation and offered a strategy to Lu Bu. Needless to say the details, the main Le Jin was used as a bait to lure Cao Cao out of the city, and then Lu Bu took Cao Cao's back route and wiped out Cao Cao outside the city. Even if he couldn't kill Cao Cao himself, he could at least get rid of one of Cao Cao's generals or thousands of soldiers.

Le Jin's suggestion was very feasible in Lu Bu's opinion, so Lu Bu went to arrange it. At this time, Zhao Da got the news and instinctively felt that this matter was not easy, so he looked on the map and found that, If the plan goes well this time, Lu Bu can indeed bite a bite out of Cao Cao, and even kill Cao Cao himself. However, once he rebels, Lu Bu himself will basically fall into the situation of being shut down and beaten. It is very dangerous. .

Therefore, Zhao Da concluded that Le Jin was going to kill Lv Bu, and thought that the time had come, so he planned to go to Lv Bu to speak out that Le Jin was a traitor.

Normally speaking, Zhao Da could go directly to ask to see Lu Bu. Although his status is not high, but in the name of Li Yi, Lu Bu has no reason not to see him.

However, although Zhao Da was promoted several times by Li Yi, he has been serving as the deputy commander of Li Yi's personal guards, and he is deeply trusted by Li Yi. In terms of real power, he is no worse than those captains who lead troops, but he is an ordinary citizen. To be dead, but to really want to be an envoy, but a little guilty, so Zhao Da first found Gao Shun just to be on the safe side.

As early as in Luoyang, Li Yi intended to win Gao Shun over. Although the matter failed, Gao Shun still admired Li Yi's vision and means, and Li Yi "guided the maze" for Lu Bu several times, so at that time Gao Shun chose Zhao Da was one of the elites who were trapped in the camp and sent to Li Yi as guards.

Because of this relationship, Gao Shun was still Zhao Da's old superior, so Zhao Da found Gao Shun first, and asked Gao Shun to take him to see Lu Bu. After knowing Zhao Da's intention, he naturally agreed immediately, and was very grateful for the news from Li Yi. However, after seeing Lu Bu, Lu Bu's reaction was completely out of Gao Shun's expectation.

After Zhao Da and Lu Bu explained Li Yi's speculation, Lu Bu did not show his gratitude to Li Yi, not even a polite word, but questioned Gao Shun on the spot, asking why he was with Li Yi's envoy.

Although Gao Shun saw that Lu Bu's attitude was wrong, he still told the truth about the situation, so Lu Bu's face became even more ugly, and he walked away on the spot.

At that time, Gao Shun and Zhao Da didn't understand what happened to Lu Bu, so they had to go back home. However, that afternoon, Lu Bu sent someone to arrest Zhao Da. The people took him away and whipped him, and then blasted out of the city.

Naturally, the matter couldn't be left this way. Gao Shun went to Lu Bu to ask for an explanation, but Lu Bu said that Zhao had arrived in Yanzhou early in the morning, and he only explained the matter today. It was obvious that the plot was wrong, so it was right to beat him.

Gao Shun naturally spoke out to excuse Zhao Da, who knew that Lu Bu not only didn't believe his words, but asked Gao Shun if he was in collusion with Li Yi, Gao Shun denied it, and the two quarreled, and finally Lu Bu accepted Gao Shun's letter in a rage. Military power, let him think behind closed doors.

Gao Shun was very sad about this, so he could only hand over the military talisman. However, he still wrote a letter after he went back, asking someone to find Zhao Da, and entrusting Zhao Da to pass it to Li Yi, explaining the reason, and at the same time excused Lu Bu, saying Lu Bu didn't intend to humiliate Li Yi, I hope Li Yi can be generous and don't mind

Just now Li Yi was celebrating with everyone, Zhao Da came back with a wound on his face, and there was such a letter, everyone was very angry, thinking that Lu Bu was deceiving people too much, beating Li Yi's envoy was deliberately contemptuous of him.

Li Yi was naturally angry, but besides being angry, he was still a little helpless.

From Li Yi's point of view, Lu Bu's performance is indeed too much, and he really does not give Li Yi face, but speaking from his own perspective, if Li Yi is Lu Bu, he may go too far than Lu Bu.

For example, if Lu Bu sends envoys to Li Yi, the envoys will meet with Zhang Liao first, and then come to inform him, and Zhang Liao will always tell him how good Lu Bu is when he is fine. Putting Zhang Liao in the "cold palace" is because it is a taboo thing. For a protagonist, it feels similar to being put on a hat.

Gao Shun and Zhao Da, as the parties involved, did not understand this truth, and Lu Bu might not understand it either, but this did not prevent Lu Bu from finding that person as if he had been cheated on. Even if reason told him that Gao Shun would not betray, reason was It's one thing, whether you can bear it in your heart is another.

Therefore, it is justifiable for Lu Bu to take Gao Shun's military power and whip Zhao Da.

However, although Li Yi understood Lu Bu's mentality, it didn't mean that he felt that Lu Bu's behavior was justified.

Indeed, there was something wrong with Zhao Da's approach, which implicated Gao Shun, but Li Yi chose the emissary, and Zhao Da was not the person who did such a thing, so Li Yi didn't blame Zhao Da.

Moreover, although Zhao Da sent Lu Bu's information with impure motives, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he saved Lu Bu's life. , should also give Zhao Da a smiling face.

But he beat Zhao Da. What does this mean? It means that Lu Bu has been dissatisfied with Li Yi for a long time, and Zhao Da just gave him an excuse to attack.

Although Li Yi was annoyed by this, he sneered in his heart, because sooner or later everyone would tear their faces apart. Today Lu Bu made a move first, and one day he slapped him back directly, so don't blame him for not saying hello.

Putting down Gao Shun's letter, Li Yi opened the battle report.

This battle report was after Zhao Da was beaten, but the battle report was delivered quickly, and he arrived here at the same time as Zhao Da.

After Zhao Da was blasted out of the city that day, Lu Bu invited Le Jin, confessed about Zhao Da, and comforted him personally. Le Jin was very grateful, but the plan remained the same.

On the day of the mobilization, Le Jin led Cao Cao out of the city, and then Lu Bu followed. Seeing that Cao Cao was about to be surrounded by Lu Bu and Le Jin, Le Jin suddenly turned against him and rushed to Lu Bu, but Lu Bu made two more attacks Soldiers and horses took advantage of the situation to surround Le Jin as well.

It turned out that although Lu Bu drove away Zhao Da that day, he still believed in Li Yi's news, so he simply used his tricks and wanted to really kill Cao Cao.

It's just that Lu Bu was thinking, but Cao Cao was not stupid. After Cao Cao and Le Jin were besieged, Cao Cao sent out reinforcements and entered Lu Bu's army.

Seeing more and more casualties under his command, Lu Bu led his elites to attack Cao Cao directly. He wanted to capture the thief first, but he managed to get into Cao Cao's main formation. Only then did Lu Bu discover that Cao Cao there was a counterfeit. Let him waste a lot of effort, but at this time the real Cao Cao appeared and killed along the gap exposed by Lu Bu's forced charge. Lu Bu resisted with all his strength, but fell into a passive position after all. After half a day, it finally ended with Lu Bu's defeat.

However, the scale of soldiers and horses actually used by both sides in this battle far exceeded expectations. Therefore, although Lu Bu was defeated in the end, it was not easy for Cao Cao. According to Li Yi's sentry estimates, Cao Cao's casualties should be more than [-]. Lu Bu was much less, so that battle was a loss for both sides.

Chapter 521 The Morality of a Literati

"Zhao Da, you are not to blame for this matter, but you have been wronged. Get up."

Li Yi stepped forward and helped Zhao Da up with his own hands. Although Zhao Da is not a "celebrity" and not very good in all aspects, he is loyal enough and takes on the important job of guarding Li Yi. For such a person, Li Yi was still willing to show tolerance.

"Lord"

Seeing that Li Yi didn't blame himself, Zhao Da felt very guilty. By now, he more or less understood the reason why Lu Bu attacked him. It was because he went to find Gao Shun. Therefore, he was really afraid that Li Yi would punish him. Using him again, how could Li Yi not only not blame him, but also comfort him like this, how could he bear it?

Seeing Zhao Da's appearance, Li Yi smiled and said, "The matter of Lu Bu is nothing more than a trivial matter. You can go to the doctor to have a look, don't leave any hidden wounds, and then take a good rest for a while, and you will be required to contribute later." place."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Da was so moved that he was a little choked up. He bowed deeply to Li Yi, then stepped back slowly to the door, and then turned and left.

As soon as Zhao Day left, the smile on Li Yi's face gradually disappeared. In the past, when he cut Kong Rong's envoy, he was patronizing and happy. He didn't feel anything else. Now it was his own envoy's turn to be beaten, so he realized the envoy firsthand. relationship with your own face.

And not only Li Yi, but also his subordinates, especially those generals, there are not a few who want to suggest a lesson to Lu Bu, but they have to suppress this idea because of Li Yi's plan to maintain the situation in Yanzhou , So, for a while, many people were so suppressed that their faces turned red, but they were speechless.

At this moment, Xun You looked around and said with a smile: "My lord's aspirations are in the world, and there will inevitably be fights with Lu Bu in the future. Before, there was a sign of estrangement between Lu Bu and the lord, but it was just a sign, and it didn't appear on the surface. But now he I hit the lord's envoy this time, and the lord gave him so much guidance and help in the past, hehe, it's not an exaggeration to say that Lu Bu's move is ungrateful. It is difficult to be strong for a while in Yanzhou, but once there is a change in Yanzhou, he will inevitably ask the lord to do it. At that time, he will not let the lord decide, let alone, hehe "

After a pause, Xun You's face suddenly became a little wretched, and he said with a chuckle, "I heard from General Xu that Lu Bu has a beloved daughter, and she and the lord are old acquaintances."

Xu Huang almost choked when he heard the words, and looked at Xun You angrily, thinking that these literati had no integrity in doing things, so they sold him out without saying a word.

As for the others, after hearing Xun You's words, their original anger dissipated suddenly, and then they looked at Li Yi with playful and ambiguous eyes.

Li Yi was very speechless in his heart. He didn't expect Xun You to get him involved in this matter, and immediately wanted to say "what do you think of me" in a righteous way, but thinking about his own style, he still lacked confidence after all, so he simply said haha He smiled and said, "Okay, since the gentleman said so, then I will leave this matter to the gentleman."

Xun You was taken aback for a moment, then the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile: "This subordinate has written it down."

In fact, not only Xun You wrote it down, but everyone else at the scene also wrote it down. However, what they wrote down was not Xun You's jokes, but Lu Bu's offensive actions. I can only save this matter, and when I really care about it in the future, it's not something a little girl can do.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was easing, Li Yi raised his glass and asked, "Just now someone notified that Yuan Shu's envoy is asking to see you. Everyone, what do you think?"

Kuai Yue laughed and said, "It's nothing more than Yuan Shu's fear after the defeat, and he wanted to save his life."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too."

Kuai Yue asked curiously, "I don't know what your lord's plan is?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "It is naturally possible to seek peace, but the premise is that Yuan Shu withdraws from Yangzhou."
