Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

That's the question, but Li Yi had seen clearly before that Xu Huang's angry shout was completely instigated by Xun You, but Li Yi was also happy about it. After all, it is more appropriate for the people below to speak for him.

Xu Huang arched his hands at Li Yi, then glared at Yang Hong, and said loudly: "My lord has captured most of Jiujiang now, Yuzhang Liu Xun is timid and cowardly, and dare not fight Wenyuan, Yuzhou will change his master sooner or later, and Wujun Zhu Ke Cough, the brothers from the Yan family in Wujun intend to defect to my lord, hehe, seeing that the land of the three counties will soon belong to the lord, Yang Changshi wants to let the lord retreat with the land of the two counties, this is not bullying and what is it!"

After being yelled at by Xu Huang, Yang Hong was not angry. He got up and bowed slightly to Xu Huang, looking calm and calm, but his eyes were flickering. Just now Xu Huang said that someone in Wu County wanted to join Li Yi, so he mentioned it first. A "Zhu" who later changed his name to be a brother of the Yan family, which made Yang Hong have to wonder who wanted to join Li Yi.

However, this matter only left a shadow in Yang Hong's mind. After he got up, he explained to Xu Huang with a wry smile: "General Xu's thinking was wrong. My master has always been magnanimous, but now he is asking the Marquis Xiang to retreat. It will make Xianghou suffer, hehe."

Yang Hong looked at Li Yi with a slightly ambiguous look, and said, "My lord has a daughter who is about the age of marriage. In the past one or two years, my lord recommended her husband and son-in-law several times, but the lady refused. My lord asked why. The young lady said, "I'd rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre woman. My lord asked again, what should I do if I don't meet a hero?" The young lady said, "If there is no hero, I won't marry. My lord is very troubled by this matter." ah."

Xu Huang pursed his lips. He was going to continue firing at Yang Hong, but when Yang Hong mentioned this matter, he became a little scrupulous. He could only keep looking at Li Yi's face to see what he meant.

And not only Xu Huang, but many other people are also looking at Li Yi. After all, Yuan Shu's daughter must be here as a concubine. Li Yi is probably the only one in the world who can make the Yuan family bow their heads like this.

Yang Hong seemed to be unaware of the changes around him, and continued: "The last time Marquis Xiang came to Yangzhou as a guest, my lord intended to introduce my young lady to Marquis Xiang, but Marquis Xiang already has a family, so my lord thought it over and over again, so I could only regret it. Unexpectedly, after the Marquis Xiang left Yangzhou, my young lady fell ill and didn't think about tea or food, why do you guys say?"

Li Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed his nose, tilting his head to the side, trying not to let people see his expression, because he had already guessed what Yang Hong said later, even if Li Yi was thick-skinned, he felt hot on his face, It is too much.

At the same time, Yang Hong's words once again refreshed Li Yi's understanding of the integrity of these celebrities.

Everyone had delicate expressions, and many of them were hesitant to speak, but Dian Wei couldn't help it after holding back a few times, and blurted out: "Could it be that you have fallen in love with my lord, and that's why you don't think about eating and drinking?"

Everyone roared with laughter, and Yang Hong laughed too, but he was smiling, but he was crying silently in his heart.

The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have a great reputation. They were so majestic in the past, but now they have fallen to the point of making fun of their own children. Can Yang Hong not be sad?

Yang Hong was sad in his heart, but on the surface he was happy, he bowed his hands to Dian Wei, and praised: "What the general said is not bad, it is exactly so!"

"That day when Marquis Xiang came to Yangzhou, the lady was very curious when she found out about it. Because the lord always mentioned it as a compliment, the lady felt that what the lord said was too much, so she quietly behind the screen while I was waiting for the banquet. After looking at Marquis Xiang, I realized that Marquis Xiang's demeanor is actually far better than the famous one, so this is why Miss doesn't think about eating and drinking."

Yang Hong shook his head and sighed: "Afterwards, my lord asked several times before I found out the reason. Although he was dissatisfied with spying on Marquis Xiang in private, after all, it was his daughter's house, and my lord couldn't bear to be harsh. Besides, Marquis Xiang is indeed a human being. In the middle of the dragon and the phoenix, my lord intends to make a good story, so Hong came here today not only to give up the land of the two counties for the Marquis Xiang, but also to marry the two families!"

As Yang Hong finished speaking, everyone sighed or admired, but all their eyes were on Li Yi, wanting to know his attitude.

However, it is not difficult to see that a small number of people hoped that Li Yi would agree, after all, she was the daughter of the Yuan family, and it really gave Li Yi a lot of face.

"call"

Li Yi exhaled lightly. Yang Hong's words are not flattery, but they are far better than flattery. The whole person is a little bit flustered. If he is not a time traveler and has always been more rational, he may have to agree. up.

Li Yi looked at Yang Hong, smiled apologetically, and said, "Thanks to Yuan Shijun's great love, Yi is very moved, but the emperor entrusted him, but it was the morning bell and the evening drum, which made Li Yi dare not forget it for a moment, so what is Yi good?" Easily abolish the public by private?"

Yang Hong looked at Li Yi, and Li Yi looked at each other for a moment, then slowly withdrew his gaze, secretly scolding Li Yi for his thick face and dark heart.

Li Yi just said that the public cannot be "easily" abolished privately. The implication is that the price he paid is not high enough?

Yang Hong felt helpless, so he could only increase the weight again, saying: "Dare to ask Marquis Xiang, if my lord uses Shouchun as a hire, how about it?"

Li Yi raised his brows, and in addition to being surprised, he admired Yuan Shu's courage.

Don't look at what Li Yi said before to let Yuan Shu leave Yangzhou cleanly, but he also knew that it was completely unrealistic, not to mention giving up four counties, even three counties were unlikely.

But now Yang Hong actually proposed this, and wanted to use the land of the three counties to add a daughter to Yuan Shu in exchange for a short respite.

Naturally, facing such conditions, Li Yi was a little bit moved. After all, it is too affordable to take such a big place without any effort, but correspondingly, such a decisive Yuan Shu also made Li Yi feel jealous, although Hua Tuo deduced that Yuan Shu shouldn't live for too long, but Li Yi, as a person who wants to achieve great things, shouldn't pin his hopes on such uncertain things due to emotion and reason.

Li Yi shook his head secretly, determined to keep Yuan Shu, but his face was full of hesitation, as if there was something embarrassing.

Originally, Xun You planned to come out at this time to raise the price for Li Yi, but before he opened his mouth, he found that Li Yi's expression did not seem to be all faked this time, so he didn't speak in a hurry.

Seeing Li Yi's silence for a long time, Yang Hong felt a little uneasy, and asked again: "I don't know what Xianghou wants?"

This time, Yang Hong's attitude was not as low as the previous few times. It was to express to Li Yi that this was already Yuan Shu's bottom line, and Li Yi would accept it when he saw it.

Li Yi looked up at Yang Hong, a smile slowly appeared on his face, and instead of answering the question, he asked, "I wonder if Bofu is still okay now?"

"Ok?"

Yang Hong was startled, and paused for a while to realize who Li Yi was talking about, but he couldn't figure out what Li Yi meant for a while, so he could only answer carefully while thinking: "Sun Ce is now leading troops in Lujiang."

Compared with Yang Hong's confusion, Xun You, Kuai Yue and others had a bright eye, and immediately understood Li Yi's general thoughts, looked at each other and sat down with peace of mind, waiting to watch Li Yi's performance.

Li Yi said with a smile: "Of course I know this, but Duke Jining of Lujiang River is a loyal man, wouldn't Sun Ce's reputation be ruined by fighting with him?"

Yang Hong pondered for a while, not daring to answer Li Yi's words immediately.

When the imperial court pardoned Yuan Shu, although Lu Kang was not mentioned in it, it is reasonable to say that Yuan Shu and Lu Kang should have a truce, but Yuan Shu was worried that Lu Kang would stab him in the back, and Lu Kang also believed that Yuan Shu was a traitor. The relationship between the two parties is much worse than Yuan Shu and Li Yi, and it is completely irreconcilable.

Therefore, when Li Yi mentioned Sun Ce, Yang Hong guessed that Li Yi was planning to relieve Lu Kang's pressure, and then he would join forces with Lu Kang to target Yuan Shu in the future, or even simply sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Li Yi saw that Yang Hong's expression was uncertain, and he didn't want him to draw any bad conclusions, so he took the initiative to explain to him: "I, an outsider, dare not interfere lightly with the grievances between Mr. Yuan Shijun and Duke Jining, but , Bo Fu and I are old acquaintances, and I also had some friendship with General Sun in the past, I really don't want to see him make mistakes in Lujiang, so "

"So what?"

Yang Hong asked a question, he is now in good spirits, because Li Yi's tone obviously has the meaning of reconciliation, and Li Yi's attention seems to be really on Sun Ce, and has nothing to do with Lujiang. talk.

Li Yi smiled and said: "My general's mansion is still short of a soldier to join the army, but there has been no suitable candidate. If Sun Bofu is here, it would be the most suitable."

Yang Hong squinted his eyes, quickly calculating Li Yi's meaning in his mind.

Li Yi and Yang Hong, the enemy of the Sun family, naturally knew about it. Although both sides have their own opinions, Sun Jian's death must have something to do with Li Yi. Even Yang Hong heard that Sun Ce had intercepted and killed Li Yi, which shows the deep conflict between the two .

Therefore, Li Yi proposed to ask Sun Ce to join the army with him, and he knew with his toes that this was an excuse to kill Sun Ce.

Then the conditions for Li Yi's retreat are obvious, the land of the three counties, Yuan Shu's daughter, and Sun Ce's life.

Although the first two points were already Yuan Shu's bottom line, Li Yi's price increase was not unacceptable.

Because Sun Ce has indeed been reused by Yuan Shu compared to before, but reuse does not mean that he attaches importance to it, and it has nothing to do with his confidant.

After the defeat of Jingzhou, Yuan Shu's staff began to be insufficient, so he promoted a group of officers, and Sun Ce, as the best among them, was naturally taken out as a role model. Yuan Shu praised him many times, rewarded him, and even let him Undertook the important task of attacking Lujiang River.

But even so, Yuan Shu only "use" Sun Ce, and never thought of letting Sun Ce enter the core of his group, just like Yuan Shu's physical condition, which has been kept from Sun Ce.

Therefore, if sacrificing a Sun Ce can make Li Yi retreat, it is not impossible.

After a while, Yang Hong almost came to a conclusion in his mind, but he did not agree outright, but pretended to be apologetic: "It is Sun Ce's blessing that Marquis Xiang appreciates Sun Ce. I believe Marquis Xiang will not treat him badly. It's just that my lord and Sun Taishou are old friends for many years. After Sun Taishou left, he has always regarded Sun Ce as his own son, and he has not hesitated to cultivate him, and even has high hopes for him. This suddenly made him leave Yangzhou. My lord is afraid that it will be difficult to part with him, alas! "

With a sigh, Yang Hong continued: "However, Marquis Xiang has achieved extraordinary things at a young age. If Sun Ce follows Marquis Xiang, his future will probably be better than staying in Yangzhou. That's all, I will write a letter for this, and then I will leave it to my lord to decide." , if my lord agrees, the matter will be settled like this, what does Marquis Xiang think?"

Li Yi showed a smile, and immediately said seriously: "Sun Ceruo, I will be a teacher within three days!"

Chapter 523 Sun Ce Stands on His Own

Because Li Yi accidentally mentioned Sun Ce, the "peace talks" between the two parties went much smoother than Yang Hong expected, at least the first stage of the peace talks was like this.

At the end of the banquet, the guests and hosts had a great time, and even Li Yi was a little drunk, but he took the pains to personally send Yang Hong to the residence, and repeatedly urged Yang Hong to send Sun Ce to Yang Hong.
