Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

The sound was so loud and abrupt that everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked in the direction of the sound, wondering which guy could be so closed-eyed.

Li Yi was also a little surprised. He turned his head and looked at the man who was going to kill himself before, because he was the one who made the voice.

Noticing Li Yi's gaze, the man braced himself and said with tears in his eyes: "Although the villain is illiterate, he also knows the principle of repaying favors. After Xianghou arrived in Nanyang, he did many acts of loving the people. My lord, the villain is precisely because he admires the benevolence of the Marquis of Xiang, so he joins the army, and wants to kill the enemy for the Marquis of Xiang, in order to repay the Marquis of Xiang for his love for the people!"

Hearing this man's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They were a little annoyed just now, but now it sounds like this man is also towards Li Yi, but they are more and more puzzled. If this is the case, why did this man say "no" ?

Li Yi also had doubts in his eyes, and he only heard the man continue to say: "Xianghou Renyi, we are also big men, and big men receive favors from others, and we should repay them with death. However, we are not good at martial arts and were injured by thieves. This is our skill." He is not as good as a human being, but it is not the fault of the Marquis Xiang, how can he be supported by the Marquis Xiang for the rest of his life?"

Li Yi smiled bitterly, he understood what this man meant, and at the same time, he felt more and more ashamed.

At the same time, some people present felt that what the man said made sense, but of course, some people secretly scolded the man for being ignorant.

Li Yi looked at the man and said seriously: "You were wounded in the battle, and your life will be difficult in the future. If I don't pay for the money and food, how will you live?"

A hint of helplessness and loneliness flashed across the man's face, but he still insisted: "But many of us all rely on the food donated by the Marquis Xiang to live. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, how can the Marquis Xiang afford it?"

"Also, even if the Marquis Xiang can afford it, but a manly man, even though his body is disabled, his heart is not broken, and he can't repay the favor of the Marquis Xiang. How can we deal with this?"

When the man rejected Li Yi before, many people complained secretly, but after hearing what he said later, many people secretly admired them, and even had the urge to reject Li Yi's kindness.

Because everyone needs face, maybe some people are born lazy, skinless and shameless, and like to eat free food, but that is only a very small number, and more people have dignity, let them be raised by Li Yi for nothing all their lives, what is in their hearts Dao Kan couldn't get through.

"My lord, please take back the military order!"

"My lord, please defend the military orders!"

"Please my lord"

Under the influence of that man, some people couldn't help but began to ask Li Yi for orders. Li Yi really didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, Li Yi raised his hand and pressed down: "Everyone be quiet, And listen to me!"

Li Yi looked around at the crowd and said with emotion: "I know that everyone is a bloody man, and they don't want to accept favors for nothing. Even some stubborn ones may think that this is a charity, a cheap food."

Hearing the words "He Lai Zhi Shi", the man who spoke before couldn't help but lower his head. He had this kind of thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak too directly in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi walked back and forth a few steps, sighed: "Forget it, there is something that I planned to return to Jingzhou to arrange later, but since today's matter has happened, I will tell everyone together."

"Early before I sent troops to Xuzhou, I had already arranged for people to build several workshops outside Xiangyang City. When the war in Yangzhou was over, I would start recruiting craftsmen and start production when I returned to Jingzhou. However, it seems that some of these arrangements have not It can be changed. In the future, you can work in the workshop and earn rewards. However, because everyone is a meritorious person, the monthly salary should be a few percent higher than that of ordinary craftsmen. Although it is not much, it is still enough to support What do you guys think of it being used by the family?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak, after a long while, the man before him carefully asked: "Xianghou, how can we wait for the disabled?"

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yi understood his concerns, and said with a smile: "I'm talking about workmanship, and they're all simple folks. It's not some kind of meticulous work that has been studied for decades, let alone coolies. You can do it!"

If this promise was made by someone else, the sergeants present would definitely have doubts, thinking that Li Yi was deceiving them, but Li Yi's reputation is really good enough, no one thinks that Li Yi has bad intentions, on the contrary, some people even think that Everything in the workshop is fake. In fact, Li Yi gave them money and food in order to take care of their face.

Thinking of this, everyone was deeply moved, and the man from before burst into tears, and said in a trembling voice: "Xianghou Renyi, the villain only hates the incomplete body, and can no longer fight for the Xianghou!"

Chapter 565

After making various promises to the wounded soldiers, inspecting them again, and instructing Hua Tuo on some matters, Li Yi took Kuai Yue and Dian Wei away from the wounded soldiers.

On the way back, Li Yi and Kuai Yue were still in the same car, and Kuai Yue hesitated to speak repeatedly. Seeing this, Li Yi asked, "What's wrong with the military commander?"

Kuai Yue hesitated for a moment, and said with some concern: "My lord, I am very impressed with the benevolence and righteousness of my subordinates, but my subordinates just made a rough calculation in their hearts, but they feel that this matter seems a bit inappropriate."

Li Yi asked, "What's wrong?"

Kuai Yue replied: "If the lord of these wounded soldiers is a relief, even if the money is more, it is not difficult to deal with, but the care of the lord will take decades for each of them, and the cost will be far beyond imagination. and"

Kuai Yue's voice was slightly lowered, and he said: "My lord's will is in the world, there will definitely be more wars in the future, and the number of disabled soldiers will be tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand. How can this be afforded?"

"I thought about it before, the military division might have this question."

Although Li Yi didn't expect Kuai Yue's question before, Li Yi didn't feel too surprised when he really raised it.

Because for the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the productivity at this time was extremely low, and ordinary people couldn't get enough to eat, so how could they take care of the wounded soldiers?

Therefore, although Li Yi has good intentions in this matter, if the matter cannot be done, no matter whether it is face or face, he will definitely lose one, and it will even slow down Li Yi's development.

Li Yi looked at Kuai Yue, thought for a while, and didn't give a specific explanation. He just smiled and said: "The military adviser's concerns are very reasonable, but don't worry. I have a proper plan for this matter, and there should be no mistakes."

Li Yi is not bragging. A long time ago, he had a big plan to improve social productivity, and the arrangement of these wounded soldiers today is just a relatively high-level part of it.

However, Li Yi has not discussed this matter with others yet, because he is not a major in economics, so it is difficult to come up with a systematic, absolutely perfect, and very convincing framework.

Moreover, Li Yi does not want to carry out any drastic reforms in this era of agriculture-oriented, because breaking the existing rules is likely to be another troubled world, and ordinary people cannot afford to be hurt. Li Yi's current idea is to start from "I" Start by doing something by yourself, let the world see the advantages and disadvantages of it, slowly influence people's views, let people take the initiative to learn from others, moisten things silently, and finally make the world more and more prosperous without breaking the rules. Many people live a good life.

Kuai Yue didn't know what Li Yi was thinking, but he saw that Li Yi didn't make a hot-headed decision, and after he asked the question, Li Yi was still calm, so Kuai Yue was very smart not to continue on this matter Ask.

When it was almost noon, Li Yi returned to the temporary residence, which was originally the house of an official in Shouchun, but the man was loyal to Yuan Shu, Xu Huang killed him after he entered the city, and then Xu Huang saw that the house was nice, After tidying up, the house was changed to Li.

At this time, the mansion was very lively, and Li Yi's senior officials were all there, because at noon this day, Li Yi was going to celebrate the Shouchun victory with a banquet.

When Li Yi came back, it was still a little early, but most of the people who came were lieutenant soldiers, and there was not much red tape. Li Yi greeted them, and asked everyone to gather in the hall to drink, wait for the food to be cooked, and talk about some serious business by the way.

After toasting and drinking with everyone for a round, Li Yi asked Xun You about some government affairs, and when he learned that everything was in order, no matter whether it was the army or the people in the city, he was relieved, and then he left a task for everyone. Let them discuss when and how to take down Sun Ce. As for Li Yi himself, holding a jug of wine, Shi Shiran came behind Zhou Yu, looked at the somewhat dazed Mei Zhoulang, and put his hand on his shoulder. With a light pat, he asked, "Gongjin, why doesn't God keep the house?"

Zhou Yu was really distracted, and was taken aback by Li Yi's sudden slap, and when he saw that it was Li Yi, he forced a smile and said, "Yu is just lamenting that the Marquis of Xiang used his soldiers like a god, and he was broken in just one day." Shouchun Jiancheng, such a record is rare in the world, and Yu really admires it."

Li Yi smiled and sat down next to Zhou Yu. Although Li Yi didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts at a glance, Zhou Yu's current appearance, even if all he said were compliments, anyone could see Zhou Yu's eyebrows The melancholy that is so thick that it cannot be resolved.

Before the start of the war, it was naturally impossible for Li Yi to allow Zhou Yu, a person "outside the system", to participate in the arrangement of the Shouchun battle. However, Li Yi did not hide anything from Zhou Yu about the later news of the battle, which was very fully shown to Zhou Yu. His wise and martial side.

In this way, Zhou Yu's melancholy is very easy to understand. The more powerful Li Yi is, the more difficult Sun Ce's life will be. Even, under the absolute difference in strength, the two are no longer comparable. As Sun Ce's friend, Zhou Yu, It is natural to worry about Sun Ce's future.

"Come on, drink!"

Li Yi filled Zhou Yu's wine glass, then pointed to the people who were discussing in front of him and asked, "Gongjin, now that the battle of Shouchun has been settled, the army can take a short break before they can send their troops south and completely wipe out the dissatisfaction in Yangzhou." Man, Gongjin is resourceful, so I wonder if he can teach me something?"

Although the atmosphere was cheerful and everyone was drinking and having fun, Zhou Yu still heard some of Kuai Yue and his group's tactics against Sun Ce.

The specific tactics are very rough and simple. It is nothing more than dividing troops into several groups and attacking Wan County together, and the number of soldiers and horses in each group is no less than the sum of the soldiers and horses under Sun Ce's command. With such a big advantage, Sun Ce Xiang Yu Possessions can hardly do anything.

Before, Zhou Yu still had some hopes for Sun Ce. If Li Yi’s progress in the battle of Shouchun did not go well, and he was even dragged under the city of Shouchun by Yuan Shu, Sun Ce might not be able to succeed in Lujiang in the future by taking advantage of this time to develop. .

However, the battle of Shouchun ended too soon, Yuan Shu's grand dream was shattered, and at the same time, Zhou Yu's expectations for Sun Ce were completely stifled.

Picking up the wine glass, Zhou Yu stared at the ripples in the wine, sighing in his heart, not knowing how to answer Li Yi's question.

Some time ago when Zhou Yu "stolen the book", although he did betray Li Yi and told Sun Ce the false news of Jiang Qin's betrayal, what Li Yi didn't know was that Zhou Yu also wrote a lot of words, all of which were to persuade Sun Ce, Advised Sun Ce to surrender.

Zhou Yu first came into contact with Li Yi because he wanted to be a secret agent for Sun Ce, so that he could play tricks on Li Yi, but after contacting him, Zhou Yu felt that Li Yi was a great person, with a very clever eye and means, and the advisers and generals around him were also very good. Most of them are the top figures in the world, and now they have won Shouchun. It can be said that Li Yi's momentum has been achieved. If Sun Ce wants to fight against Li Yi at this time, it will be like an egg hitting a rock, and there is no hope of success.

Moreover, when Zhou Yu talked with Li Yi, he often mentioned Sun Ce. Although Li Yi appreciated the praise, he also implied killing chickens. Zhou Yu knew that if Sun Ce continued to fight against Li Yi, his life would be difficult to save.

Therefore, Zhou Yu wanted to suggest that Sun Ce surrender to Li Yi and let it go. According to Zhou Yu's speculation, although Li Yi was afraid of Sun Ce's ambition, but in order to set an example for future generations, as long as Sun Ce was willing to surrender, his life would definitely be fine.
