Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

It's a pity that after Zhou Yu's letter was sent, there was no news from Sun Ce. Zhou Yu knew that Sun Ce probably decided to fight Li Yi to the end.

Therefore, Zhou Yu began to feel embarrassed.

In troubled times, the ruler chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose his ruler. Zhou Yu admires and pursues a master like Li Yi, and Li Yi treats him very well. As long as Zhou Yu works, he will be reused. , Aspiring young people, really can't bear to miss it.

However, Zhou Yu also couldn't let go of Sun Ce and took refuge in Li Yi. How would he face the old friendship?

Seeing Zhou Yu holding a wine glass, he lost his mind again. Li Yi was silent, and couldn't help reminding: "Gong Jin!"

"what!"

Zhou Yu whispered for the rest of his life, his face was embarrassed, he drank quickly, but he drank too fast, choked his throat, and coughed continuously.

Li Yi shook his head and laughed, and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu hurriedly confessed his crime, but he felt sad in his heart. He was considered a romantic figure in the past, so how could he be so embarrassed.

After taking care of it, Zhou Yu looked at Li Yi and forced a smile: "Zhou Yu dare not say much about Lujiang, but with the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Xianghou, Lujiang should not be a concern."

Li Yi laughed, and then pretended to be sad and said: "If it is just to regain Lujiang, it is naturally a trivial matter, but for me, it is difficult to enter Lujiang."

Zhou Yu was puzzled and asked, "I don't know, what's the problem?"

Li Yi looked into Zhou Yu's eyes, and said slowly: "Gong Jin and Sun Ce are close friends, but Sun Ce has a strong personality, and he doesn't want to be subordinated to others. Under a strong attack, Sun Ce will probably die in battle. I don't care about Sun Ce's life or death, but Gong If Jin is jealous and hates me because of this, and leaves in anger, even though I am in Lujiang, I can't be happy in my heart, what do you think I should do?"

"I"

Zhou Yu's lips trembled, and he was very moved, and it was precisely because of this that he was a little afraid to look at Li Yi.

In the contact between Li Yi and Zhou Yu, although there was no way to make it a good story, Li Yi never concealed his appreciation and recognition for Zhou Yu, which made Zhou Yu very useful. Now, Zhou Yu personally and the entire Lujiang River Even though Zhou Yu knew that it was impossible for Li Yi to give up Lujiang because of him, Zhou Yu still felt warm and moved very much.

Of course, to a certain extent, Li Yi's words can be regarded as pointing out that the relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce is not as simple as ordinary friends.

Zhou Yu didn't feel much about this, because as early as a few days ago, Zhou Yu slowly realized that something was wrong, and found that Li Yi was probably in Li Yi's hands when he stole the book that day, and Li Yi had suspected it for a long time. him.

Zhou Yu was a little ashamed at first, but later, Li Yi treated him consistently, and did not treat him coldly because of "stealing books", let alone punish him. Zhou Yu knew that Li Yi really admired him from the bottom of his heart and wanted to win him over. As a result, there was no resentment, but more admiration for Li Yi.

After a while, Zhou Yu lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Mr. Xiang's eyes are bright, Zhou Yu is ashamed."

With Zhou Yu's words, he admitted his relationship with Sun Ce, but Li Yi didn't point it out. Instead, he continued: "Cao Yi in my general's residence is temporarily vacant, and I intend to ask Gong Jin to take up this position temporarily."

Zhou Yu looked up, with surprise and confusion in his eyes, Li Yi waved his hand before he spoke, and said: "I know, if Sun Ce's matter is not resolved, Gong Jin may not be able to work under my command with peace of mind, so I am going to give Gong Jin Jin is a chance to save Sun Ce's life."

Zhou Yu's spirit was shaken, and he asked cautiously, "I don't know what opportunity it is?"

Li Yi said: "Before my army arrives at the gate of Wan County, as long as Gong Jin can persuade Sun Ce to surrender, I will not blame the past. As long as Sun Ce lives in peace and does not gather troops, I will never make things difficult for him. ,how?"

Zhou Yu lowered his head slightly. He knew very well that Li Yi's condition was really generous. It seemed to force Sun Ce to surrender, but the strength gap between the two sides was huge, and Li Yi didn't need to be polite to Sun Ce at all.

Even under such circumstances, Li Yi still let go, all this was not for Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu.

As for if Sun Ce was unwilling to surrender, Zhou Yu didn't ask about the result, because he couldn't think of any other result except death.

After a long time, Zhou Yu bowed down and said, "How can Zhou Yu be so respected by the Marquis Xiang? Zhou Yu is really ashamed!"

Li Yi helped Zhou Yu up, and said, "Gong Jin is talented, and he should be like this, but I can only do this. If I am too tolerant to Sun Ce, the soldiers below will not be convinced."

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and said, "The Marquis Xiang is already extra merciful. Zhou Yu is a person who doesn't know how to advance or retreat. It's just that Sun Ce is a bit stubborn, and Yu really doesn't know what to do."

After struggling for a while, Zhou Yu suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Yi sincerely and said, "Yu begs to be the envoy of Marquis Xiang, to go to Wan County to lobby Sun Ce face to face, I wonder if Marquis Xiang thinks it is feasible?"

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he watched Li Yi's expression change without blinking. He didn't know whether Li Yi would agree to his request. At the same time, Zhou Yu was secretly nervous. He was betting with himself that Li Yi was Believe him or not!

Li Yi's expression didn't change much, and he barely thought much, so he nodded and said: "Gongjin is willing to work hard, I can't ask for it, but I don't know what Gongjin wants to go, after all, I'm talking empty teeth, I'm worried that Sun Ce won't agree Pleased by Gongjin."

Zhou Yu didn't answer Li Yi's question, but said in surprise, "Mr. Xiang really wants me to see Sun Ce?"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

Zhou Yu couldn't help asking: "Isn't the Marquis Xiang afraid that I will never return?"

Li Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "If I met Gongjin for the first time, I would naturally be reluctant to let Gongjin go away, but after getting along these days, you and I already know each other. How can you achieve great things with the mind of the master? Therefore, Yi can trust Gong Jin!"

Li Yi said it nicely on the surface, but he was actually thinking that he had already proved to Zhou Yu that he was a golden thigh, and Zhou Yu was a smart person, as long as he was aggressive, it would be difficult to give up. Now the only thing standing in front of Zhou Yu , is the relationship between him and Sun Ce before, and what Li Yi is doing now is to give Zhou Yu a chance to "repay" Sun Ce one last time. In this way, even if Sun Ce is killed in the future, Zhou Yu will be sad, but in the end he will still be happy. Will accept the reality and settle down to do things for Li Yi.

What Zhou Yu thought in his heart was simpler than what Li Yi thought. From Zhou Yu's point of view, Li Yi was willing to let him go. What kind of trust and value was this.

Thus, the bet in his heart finally came to fruition.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yu bowed to Li Yi: "The Marquis of Xiang trusts you, and Yu is inexplicably grateful. Please rest assured, Marquis Xiang. Whether this matter succeeds or not, Yu will definitely return to serve for Marquis Xiang. I hope Marquis Xiang will not dislike Yu's lack of knowledge. .”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu bowed to Li Yi again, and then said: "This matter should not be delayed, Yu begs the Marquis Xiang to agree, let Yu set off immediately and rush to Lujiang!"

Chapter 566

Zhou Yu's sudden departure before the banquet started was naturally watched by everyone. Those who understood the relationship laughed and said nothing, and those who didn't understand knew that silence is golden. Anyway, to celebrate today, eating and drinking is the right thing to do.

After Li Yi sent Zhou Yu back, he had a private conversation with Liu Ye, Lu Su and other newcomers, and then he called his brains together and asked, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Kuai Yue, as a military adviser, stood up without hesitation and said: "My lord, we all agree that the matter of Lujiang can be divided into three groups, and one should be led by the lord, from Hefei to the south by land, and then Gongming also Lead the way, send troops from Liyang, and go down the waterway. On the way, Xiang'an, Linhu, Shuxian, Tongxiang, Juchao and other places are temporarily under the control of Sun Ce. If you are forced to surrender, if you refuse to follow, there is no need to attack urgently, because the lord is on the Hefei line, and the road is relatively short, so we just go ahead and take the rear road, so some cities will be cut off from Sun Ce, so if you don’t surrender, you will surrender.”

"In addition, General Zhang Liao should also send out a group of troops, but the troops were divided up a while ago. Although Yuzhang's troops have been supplemented, their training is still broken and their combat power is insufficient. Therefore, General Zhang's troops are only serving as support. , to contain Sun Ce, and wait for the lord and General Xu to arrive in Wan County, and then join the lord."

Finally, Kuai Yue showed a very confident smile, and said: "So, the three armies gathered under the city of Wan County, and explained that no matter how brave Sun Ce is, he must be unable to escape!"

Li Yi smiled and nodded. Although he attaches great importance to Sun Ce, Sun Ce is no longer able to turn the tide. If Li Yi hadn't been cautious, he could have assigned Xu Huang and Xun You to take down Lujiang in this matter. Not do it yourself.

But Li Yi immediately sensed something was wrong, and asked, "Since we want to deter those cities from surrendering, it is naturally best for me to come forward in person, why should I let Gongming pass?"

Kuai Yue laughed and said: "If my lord goes all the way to Xiang'an and Linhu, Sun Ce will definitely pay attention to it, and will probably send his trusted generals to fortify every step of the way. My lord is naturally not afraid, but it will take a lot of time. On the contrary, if my lord sends troops from Hefei, There are few cities along this road, even if Sun Ce wants to defend, he can only arrange it near Wan County, as for Xiang'an, Linhu, which is farther away, Sun Ce has no choice but to give up."

"I see."

Li Yi suddenly realized, and exclaimed: "It's still a great military adviser. If I let me arrange it, although I won't suffer, it will take a lot of effort for nothing."

Kuai Yue said modestly: "The subordinates are terrified. This is not the opinion of the subordinates, but a discussion among colleagues."

Li Yi chuckled, looked at everyone, and praised: "Very good, don't take credit, don't be arrogant, you all work together like this, why should I worry about not achieving great things?"

Hearing Li Yi's praise, everyone was also happy. Taking this opportunity, Li Yi said again: "Our army has won a complete victory in this battle of Shouchun. You have contributed a lot, and I should also be rewarded and punished!"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately, and they fought with Li Yi. Although some people were fighting for their ideals and feelings, most of them were people in the secular world after all, and their pursuit of material aspects was also very strong. of.

Li Yi smiled and continued: "The specific battle report has just been prepared and sent to Chang'an. If there is no accident, General Huang and General Wei can be named Tinghou!"

Huang Zhong and Wei Yan were shocked when they heard the words, and then they all bowed together: "My lord's gift, I will be grateful to the end!"

"The two generals please get up quickly."
