Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

As for the reason, it is not that Li Yi is greedy for money, but that he is seeking stability and does not want to directly break the original situation with easy paper. You must know that this thing is usually a piece of paper, and it is just a matter of reading when it is big. Sell ​​cheap paper to replace the bamboo slips, and come up with an update. Although Li Yi has gained fame and fortune, but if he doesn't do it well, he will also become a person targeted by the princes.

This seems simple, but Zhou Yu asked himself if he could control this thing like Li Yi, it is really unknown.

In addition to these, Zhou Yu also noticed that Li Yijun's soldiers were elite for the time being, but his spirit was definitely the best he had ever seen.

Serving as a soldier these days is a hard job, and it’s hard work, but Li Yi is very kind to the soldiers, making them full, and what’s even more rare is that the food tastes delicious. Zhou Yu ordered a bowl of ordinary soldiers to drink Broth, although the name of the broth is not true, you can see the oily flowers but not the meat, but the taste is there. After all, the common people often eat the last meal without the next meal. Even Zhou Yu himself does not eat meat, so he can drink this kind of soup. Soup is already pretty good.

The soldiers are full and delicious, and their spirits will naturally not be bad.

Moreover, Zhou Yu also saw that there were some people in the army wearing green clothes and cloth gowns. These people did not wear armor, did not hold sharp knives, and were not officers, but ordinary soldiers were very polite when they saw them. Zhou Yu stopped someone out of curiosity and asked. Ask, and then they claim to be military Chinese medicine practitioners, who do not directly participate in the war, and are only responsible for treating the wounded after the war.

Probably because he found out that Zhou Yu was interested in this, that person also discussed everything about the academy with Zhou Yu, such as how to stop thousands of doctors from going down in the future, so that the common people will no longer suffer from illness.

After the man left, Zhou Yu's mood was very complicated. He had heard that Li Yi cherished human life, so he didn't even attack the city very much. Zhou Yu once thought that Li Yi was a woman's benevolence, but now look at it, and then Li Yi Zhou Yu would feel ashamed and flustered because of the benevolence of a woman.

Chapter 552 Zhou Yu Steals Books

After the army walked like this for three years, Zhou Yu knew more and more about Li Yi, from the most superficial ones at the beginning, to those that could only be discovered by close contact, and finally there were some things that he himself only vaguely knew even if he had contact. What I realized, but it was hard to put into words for a while.

These discoveries touched Zhou Yu a lot. Coupled with Li Yi's various courtesies, Zhou Yu was under a lot of pressure, and even his "acting skills" were discounted. He has a very melancholy uncle's demeanor, and he doesn't even talk much.

Camping that night, Zhou Yu came back from Li Yi's side. Because of something on his mind, he lay down and tossed and turned a little bit confused. He was about to fall asleep, but he heard the sound of drums beating outside suddenly. .

Zhou Yu woke up immediately, turned over, didn't care to dress neatly, grabbed his robe and ran out of the tent, shouting, "What happened?"

It's just that no one can answer Zhou Yu's question. At this moment, there are soldiers running back and forth everywhere in front of him, and no one pays any attention to him.

Because Zhou Yu didn't know the situation, he didn't dare to run around. At night, no matter if the enemy attacked the camp or the camp screamed, anyway, don't run around in the crowd, or you will die if you are unlucky.

Fortunately, the chaos did not last long. Zhou Yu waited at the door for a while, and the soldiers running back and forth disappeared, but there were some shouts of killing from around the camp. However, according to Zhou Yu's judgment, the soldiers who shouted Although the killing is full of momentum, it doesn't look like a fighting on the battlefield, but more like a school field drill.

Just when Zhou Yu was puzzled, a school lieutenant came over with a group of people. Seeing Zhou Yu in a daze in front of the tent, he took the initiative to say hello, "I have seen you, sir."

"Lieutenant Wang, please be polite. I don't know what happened tonight. Could it be that some thieves attacked the camp?"

Zhou Yu recognized the captain, and the incident happened suddenly, so he was not polite, and directly expressed his doubts.

Captain Wang smiled and said, "Sir, I was surprised. No one attacked the camp tonight, it was just a martial arts show."

"Exercise martial arts?"

Zhou Yu became more and more curious. He knew about performing martial arts, but performing martial arts at night

It's not that no one doesn't want to practice like this, but they don't dare.

The management of the barracks at night is quite strict. Except for the night watchmen and guards, ordinary soldiers are not allowed to walk around casually, and are not allowed to make loud noises.

This is not because the people who run the army do not care about human feelings. It is because the ancient military camps are too prone to chaos. No matter how strict it is, if something happens, a large army may be finished.

Captain Wang knew why Zhou Yu was puzzled, and explained with a smile, "My lord, the reason why there is camp noise is because the soldiers are under too much pressure and their hearts are too nervous. As long as the soldiers are fed and clothed, the soldiers Knowing that the future can be expected and the family can be safe and secure, with such peace of mind, the so-called camp storm will naturally not happen."

Zhou Yu is also familiar with military books, but this is the first time he heard this kind of theory, and his first reaction was to think that this is impossible and nonsense, but he thought about it a little bit, and the mental outlook of Li Yijun's soldiers these few days is very good, not that Such a lifeless look, it really doesn't look like it if they want to scream.

So Zhou Yu stopped talking, but Captain Wang continued, "As for this martial arts performance, it is a specially made drill to prevent someone from attacking the camp at night. The whole army's upper body is drummed with one blow, and the weapons are used first. When the drum generals are in place, the soldiers form an array nearby, and after the drums are played three times, the whole army obeys the order and gathers and annihilates the invading enemy!"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Yu also remembered that although the soldiers he saw just now were running around, they were really not too chaotic, and they were all doing activities together in groups, not that kind of randomness. They ran around like flies, and when the final shout sounded, it was the time when the tee drum fell

Zhou Yu couldn't help but click his tongue. Li Yi's dispatching of soldiers and horses was so fast, and it was still at night. Lujiang found an opportunity for Sun Ce, but given the disparity in strength, Sun Ce may only be able to bump into a bag, right?

When Zhou Yu was in a trance, Captain Wang cupped his hands and said, "At this moment, the camp is empty, there may be an accident, and the general will go to the front to patrol at the end. It is inconvenient to stay for a long time. Please forgive me, sir."

"Where there is, the general's military affairs are important, so feel free."

Zhou Yu said politely to Xiaowei Wang, watched Xiaowei Wang go away, couldn't help but sighed softly, and was about to go to the front to see what the martial arts performance was like this night, but just took a step, and suddenly thought of What, paused, looked left and right, confirmed that there was no one around, then turned and walked in another direction.

Indeed, as Captain Wang said, the camp was empty at this time, and there were no people at all, but Zhou Yu was still very nervous. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, when he moved his feet, he was still somewhat messy. No one, otherwise Zhou Yu must have attracted attention like this.

All the way to Li Yi's carriage anxiously, Zhou Yu reconfirmed that there was no one nearby, so he jumped on the horse without further delay, and went straight to the wooden box where Li Yisheng put the letter.

Although Zhou Yu did not steal letters a few days ago, he had observed secretly many times. Therefore, despite the poor light, he immediately found the letter Li Yi received that day, and then took out the torch from his arms. Folded, blew on, and read the content of the letter roughly in the dim light, and a cold sweat broke out behind him. He was worried for Sun Ce, but also glad that he had the opportunity today, otherwise Sun Ce might really have a chance. May suffer.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu did not take the letters away, but put them back in place. Although there were still some letters in the wooden box, Zhou Yu wanted to read them, but because he didn't know when the martial arts performance would end, Zhou Yu didn't dare to read them. Delayed, quickly extinguished the fire, opened the curtain again to let the smell dissipate, then got out of the carriage, then pretended to be curious, and walked towards the camp gate. Of course Zhou Yu didn't want to run, but to look What is the performance of martial arts tonight?

It's just that what Zhou Yu didn't know was that all of his actions were being watched by others, and even Li Yi himself was the one who was following him.

Because of the performance of martial arts, the second day's army started a little later, but Li Yi got the news that Zhou Yu's servant left the camp early in the morning, and Zhou Yu also found Li Yi, and Li Yi Hard work is worth a lot, and his Zhou family, as people from Yangzhou, had to express that they were willing to donate three thousand stones of grain and grass, and send them to the front line of Shouchun within half a month.

Li Yi readily accepted this, because he knew that Zhou Yu was just making excuses for his fellow who left. As for the food sent, Li Yi had the right to regard it as Zhou Yu's "fine" for stealing books.

After that, the army marched for a few more days, and finally returned to Shouchun. Everyone greeted Li Yi and ignored all kinds of flattery. The first thing Li Yi did was the situation in Shouchun City recently.

According to Kuai Yue's report, under the continuous pressure during this period, both ordinary people and Yuan Shu's subordinates in Shouchun City have been visibly shaken, and deserters and refugees have even appeared, especially in Wujun and After the news of Danyang was shot into the city by Xu Huang, deserters or deserters appeared almost every night, and now there are hundreds of people in total, not counting those who accidentally drowned in the moat due to Hei.

Moreover, there were military officers among those who escaped, the largest being a military commander, and there were also two commanders, Qu Chang and Tuen Chang.

For these people, because they are worried that there may be spies among them, they are all under surveillance for the time being, but it is not to let them eat and live for free. They have to dig holes and work every day, and Li Yi is not at a loss.

In addition, Kuai Yue also selected some people, made indirect remarks, asked a lot of questions explicitly or secretly, and got a lot of useful information.

First of all, since Li Yi and Yuan Shu met at the top of the city that day, Yuan Shu hasn't shown up in the city anymore, and now Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao is doing the things that stabilize people's hearts, but Yuan Yao doesn't have the aura of his father, The effect of calming people's hearts is naturally not good.

The second is the issue of food in the city. According to those people’s explanations, the food of the people in the city has been confiscated and distributed uniformly. .

Kuai Yue's conclusion to Li Yi is that the food in the city can last for at least half a year.

However, the lack of food does not mean that Shouchun can stick to it for so long.

With all kinds of bad news spreading to Shouchun, the people in the city are very disturbed. There will often be some murders and robbery, and even worse things. Some things that I dare not do before, in the past two weeks, there have been several large-scale riots in Shouchun City. It is not difficult to imagine what the situation in the city will be like if this situation continues.

After putting all kinds of information into his mind, Li Yi quickly convened a formal military meeting to re-arrange for Shouchun. city.

This involves a lot of detailed work, such as arranging the fortifications, pretending to attack the city, putting pressure on the opponent, or looking for another opportunity to set fire to the city, in short, how to do it.

Among them, Li Yi paid the most attention to spreading the news that Yuan Shu was seriously ill and his time was numbered, hoping to directly overwhelm Shouchun's hearts.

It took Li Yi a full two hours for this military discussion, and everyone considered the matter to be settled. In this process, Li Yi did not ask Zhou Yu to participate in the process. It's too much to call, and it's a bit too dog-licking. With Li Yi's current status, there is no need to do that.

However, although his name is not Zhou Yu, there is still a newcomer in this military meeting, brought by Kuai Yue, who came to the front of the battle some time ago to serve, Kuai Yue thinks he is dignified, quick-witted, steady and dignified , thinking that this is a good talent, so he temporarily made him a clerk, who was actually Kuai Yue's personal secretary.

After Li Yi saw it, he also felt that the person had a kind face, and the more he looked at it, the more pleasing to the eye. He asked about his name, and was told that this person was named Lu Mingsu, and his name was Zijing.

At that time, Li Yi almost laughed out loud. Although Zhou Yu outside was not done yet, Lu Su had already jumped into the bowl on his own initiative. Apart from helping me, what else could Li Yi do?

So, Li Yi used the excuse that Xu Shu was left in Liyang, and there were no writers around him, so he poached the corner of his military adviser.

Kuai Yue naturally had nothing to do with it. Anyway, he kept Lu Su by his side, which meant to introduce Li Yi. In case something happens in the future, it's convenient for everyone to take care of each other, right?

As for the loss of his own clerk, it doesn't matter, Kuai Yue has a backup candidate. Among the people who came to join him during this period, besides Lu Su, there was also a young man named Jiang Gan who also made Kuai Yue very upset. Care, although Jiang Gan's general strategic vision is slightly worse than Lu Su's, but other conditions are very good, and he can definitely help him with some assistance.
