Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Then, if there is a chance, we will find out whether Li Yi is really as powerful as the rumors.

However, after learning of the emperor's decree to demote his Yuan family to the biggest ambitious and conspirator in the past few decades, Yuan Shao couldn't calm down anymore, so he turned the table on the spot and scolded Li Yi for being unreasonable. The son, while roaring an order to Guo Tu, asked Guo Tu to question Li Yi, ask Li Yi why he slandered him so much, and let Li Yi give an explanation on the matter.

This is a pain for Guo Tu, this kind of thing is not easy to talk about, and Li Yi's attitude when they meet each other makes Guo Tu dare not speak at all.

After holding back for a long while with a sullen face, Guo Tu took a deep breath slowly, and said with difficulty: "The general is benevolent and righteous, everyone in the world knows it, and my lord also admires it. I still think of the scene when I met the general for the first time. I miss it so much."

Li Yi smiled and said nothing, if he really gave Yuan Shao a chance, he would not be the princes of the Eighteenth Route asking for Dong.

Guo Tu continued: "Later, the great general wanted to destroy the Central Plains, but my lord talked about it and praised it all the time. He said bluntly that with the great general around, there is hope for the revival of the great man. However, now is the time to revitalize the great man again. At such a good time, why did the general suddenly point his sword at Hebei? What is the reason for this? I really don't understand."

Guo Tu should have said these words with a righteous and strict attitude, but he was afraid in his heart. Although the content of the words was not inappropriate, but from the tone of voice, it was hard to escape a feeling of aggrieved ? Not only can it not be stressful, but it is also a little funny.

Li Yi asked the waiter to serve Guo Tu with drinks? He said casually: "This is not what I want. The emperor ordered me to send troops to Hebei. I am a great general. How can I openly disobey?"

"cough cough"

Bu Zhi coughed violently? He had stayed with Li Yi for a short time, and he was obviously not used to Li Yi's cheeky behavior? Just one word made him choke on the drink.

Sudden embarrassment? Many people on Li Yi's side pursed their lips and smiled secretly? But Guo Tu's face was red and black.

What emperor's decree? It's all nonsense!

Don't ordinary people know about this kind of thing? But Li Yi doesn't know yet!

Guo Tu has an impulse in his heart? He really wants to directly expose the hypocrisy on Li Yi's face? See what kind of face Li Yi's hypocritical loyalty is behind, but how impulsive is he? In the end, he chose to die down.

Not only because Guo Tu is afraid of death, but also because even Yuan Shao? can't bear the consequences of Li Yi's anger now.

Clenching his fists and clenching his teeth tightly? Guo Tu knew that Li Yi could bring out the imperial decree so shamelessly? Although it shows his brazenness, it also proves Li Yi's appraisal attitude towards this matter, and ordinary words may not be able to shake him at all .

Simply, Guo Tu asked directly: "Dare to ask the general, how can we suspend the sabers and prevent the lives on both sides of the Yellow River from being destroyed?"

As if feeling that the words were too pale, Guo Tu added: "Even if the general doesn't care about the friendship with our lord in the past, please consider it for the sake of the millions of people in the north and south!"

Guo Tu's voice sounded quite sincere, but Li Yi was unmoved. With a chuckle, he nodded and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, as long as General Yuan is willing to let the soldiers put down their swords, I will naturally not commit mass killings. Not only that, I will also write a letter to the Son of Heaven, asking the Son of Heaven to confer General Yuan the Duke of Jin, so that the Yuan family will continue to be loyal for generations, and the people of Hebei will also be spared the suffering of a war, how about it, is this the best of both worlds?"

Guo Tu felt sad. Although he had already felt that Li Yi would refuse, this kind of rejection was too bullying. What kind of Jin Gong, didn't he just raise Yuan Shao as a pig and sheep pen?

Touching the wine cup in front of him, Guo Tu felt an urge to grab it and smash it on Li Yi's face. He really wanted to ask if Li Yi didn't remember that Yuan Shao never underestimated Li Yi when he was poor and poor. But Li Yi was so aggressive once he succeeded, that he didn't give Yuan Shao any face.

However, no matter how angry Guo Tu is, Li Yi's expression has never changed. It has always been that kind of fake smile, just like Li Yi's gentleman and loyalty, it is all fake

After being silent for a long time, Guo Tu said: "What the general said has a lot to do with it, and I dare not jump to conclusions. Can the general allow some time to wait for Tu to report to my lord before replying?"

Li Yi was very generous, and replied: "Of course it can, but there should be a limit at this time, and I can't wait forever, can you tell me a time."

Guo Tu hesitated for a moment, and tentatively said: "Half Moon"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Guo Tu's words were interrupted by Li Yi, who pointed to the Yellow River and asked, "Is General Yuan already on the other side?"

Guo Tu was startled, and quickly replied: "My lord just arrived yesterday."

There is no need for Guo Tu to hide this. Both sides have placed a lot of spies on the opposite side, and they can find out where the opposite coach is.

Li Yi squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Although the Yellow River is wide, half a day is enough to go back and forth, but Gongze said half a month, hehe, is he planning to swim back?"

These words were a bit irritating, Guo Tu's lips trembled, and he said with a dry smile: "The general is joking, such a big matter, it will take some time to discuss it."

Guo Tu knew that Li Yi was upset that he had proposed too much time, so he quickly added: "Actually, if this matter is done quickly, ten days would be enough."

Li Yi asked: "After ten days, if General Yuan refuses to agree, does that mean he is ready to fight me to the death?"

"Well, where do you start with this? My lord has always valued peace in everything he does. How could he easily talk about war? What's more, my lord and the general are old acquaintances!"

Guo Tu tried his best to downplay the start of the war, but Li Yi would not allow him to do so, and said: "In this case, the period will be ten days. After ten days, I will still wait for the official reply. If General Yuan does not accept the kindness of the court, then Li can only cross the Yellow River to have an interview with General Yuan in person."

Seeing Li Yi's aggressiveness, Guo Tu's expression couldn't help being distorted. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Yellow River is extremely dangerous. If the general speaks out easily, I don't know how many big men will die at the bottom of the river and become the belly of fish and turtles." Doesn’t this go against the General’s consistent stand?”

"hehe"

Li Yi looked at Guo Tu with a look of caring for the mentally handicapped, and said: "What Gong Ze said is not bad, but at that time, it was because my soldiers were small and weak, so naturally every step must be carefully calculated, but now, the soldiers under my command Millions, tell me, what else do I have to worry about?"

Guo Tu's expression became stiff immediately, not only because Li Yi's strength made him breathless, but what's more sad is that he himself felt that what Li Yi said made sense. After all, he was so powerful that a few people died. What?

However, Li Yi's attack was not so simple. Li Yi changed the subject and continued: "Also, the Yellow River is indeed dangerous, but you should know that Li Jue and Ma Teng have already passed the Yellow River at this time, so, As long as I'm willing to spend more time, what does the Yellow River matter?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Tu's face changed completely.

According to Yuan Shao's judgment of the situation, the main force of Li Yi's attack was Dong'a, where Li Yi himself was located, that is, Huang Zhong's army, followed by Xu Huang, Bingzhou next, and Qingzhou last.

At present, the threat in the direction of Bingzhou is not great for the time being, unless Li Yi takes a detour, but it will consume too much food and grass, so it can be regarded as a medium strategy at best, and a wise man will not take it.

However, if Li Yi really focused on Bingzhou and let the main forces of both sides face each other head-on in Bingzhou, then this battle would soon develop into a bitter battle that would injure eight hundred enemies and one thousand oneself.

It seems that Li Yi has suffered a loss, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is not as big as Li Yi now. Li Yi only hurts the flesh at most, but Yuan Shao will hurt his muscles and bones if he is not careful.

For a while, Guo Tu felt that the sky was about to fall. According to what Li Yi said, he really didn't see the slightest chance of winning!

Seeing that Guo Tu seemed to be a bit broken, Li Yi shook his head. The reason why he met Guo Tu and said these words was not because he was bored to ask Guo Tu to show his superiority, and it was not because he wanted to hit people. To achieve some misleading, now, his purpose has been achieved.

"Cough cough."

Coughing lightly, Li Yi got up and walked forward. Seeing this, Guo Tu subconsciously wanted to leave the table and retreat, but reason made him hold back.

Li Yi came to Guo Tu's side, patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said with emotion: "There are some things, General Yuan and I know each other well, sir should understand, so some things can only be understood." so, but"

After a pause, Li Yi looked at Guo Tu meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "It's different, sir. As long as you nod, you will be the Sima of the other department of the General's Mansion from now on. After crossing the Yellow River, you will be promoted to the governor of Pingyuan immediately." , I don’t know what to do with it, sir?”

Seeing Li Yi recruiting him, Guo Tu came back to his senses in a jerk. This time, he finally got up and left his seat, taking a big step back.

Now Yuan Shao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and people's hearts are fluctuating. As far as Guo Tu knows, there are definitely many people who are secretly thinking about the way out. It's just that Li Yi's activities in Hebei are relatively small, and the Yellow River is in the middle. Those people can't find him. Find the way, otherwise someone will definitely change the court.

Under such circumstances, Guo Tu, as an acquaintance, could not be moved by Li Yi's olive branch.

However, after a brief struggle, Guo Tu still bit his lip and did not stretch out his hand.

"I am grateful for the kindness of the general, but since ancient times, loyal ministers have not served two masters. Please forgive me, the general."

Seeing Guo Tu's refusal so straightforwardly, Li Yi's face was obviously a little more surprised, because Guo Tu has never had anything to do with the word morality.

Guo Tu swallowed his saliva, and continued: "What the general said is very important, and Tu dare not delay, so I will go back and report to my lord, and ask the general for permission."

Li Yi took a deep look at Guo Tu, as if he wanted to see through Guo Tu's thoughts. After a while, he smiled and said: "Of course, but since you came across the river, you might as well use some water and wine and drink some water for a while." Rest and go on the road again?"

"Thank you for your kindness, General, but my lord is still waiting for a reply, and Tu really doesn't want to have a feast."

Li Yi knew that Guo Tu had made up his mind to go, so he felt a little emotional, smiled, and said, "Forget it, Zhongxiang, you can send Mr. Guo off for me."
