The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 31: You are so good, Li Ziyu, waiting for me here (please read it!)

Among the five counties of Xuzhou, only Langya, Guangling and Donghai are located on the sea.

Coincidentally, Xia Pi, where Chen Deng's family was located, was not near the sea.

Li Yi had just praised the sea bream to the skies, and Chen Deng was already salivating with anticipation.

With their family's influence in Xuzhou, even if they are not near the sea, can they not eat this sea bream?
"I'll send someone to Guangling to find fishermen to buy some sea bream."

"How about you and I share it then?"

Chen Deng asked.

"Hey! No way!"

Li Yi quickly spoke out to stop him.

"Snapper has a fierce nature and will die as soon as it leaves the water."

"Fish sashimi is delicious, but it is transported from Guangling to Xiapi. The mountains are far away and the road is long. By then, the taste is not as good as river fish."

"Wouldn't that be a waste of delicious food?"

Hmm! It seems to make some sense...

"This is a pity."

"Chen's family business is in Xia Pi, and I am also the captain of the agricultural department."

"It's inconvenient to leave home, so I can only go to Guangling to try the freshness of this sea bream when I have some free time."

Chen Deng sighed and couldn't hide the regret on his face.

Li Yi knew that the time had come, so he immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Deng to express his gratitude.

"Congratulations sir, congratulations sir."

"Li is here to congratulate Yuanlong."

Chen Deng immediately became alert and asked:

"Why should I be happy?"

"The envoy has already drafted a memorial and submitted it to the court, recommending Yuanlong as the governor of Guangling."

"From now on, Yuanlong can enjoy bream sashimi at any time. Isn't this worth celebrating?"

I go!

Upon hearing the news, Chen Deng was so shocked that he immediately stood up from his chair and looked at Li Yi in disbelief.

Good job, Li Ziyu, it turns out you were waiting for me here!
Normally speaking, when Li Yi announced the news that he would recommend Chen Deng to be the governor of Guangling, it would be impossible for Chen Deng to immediately realize the interests involved.

But he could understand in an instant that this was the real purpose of Li Yi's visit.

Routines, all routines...

Chen Deng instantly felt like a pure man whose feelings were deceived.

His behavior just now was a little inappropriate, which was unlike him usually.

It was because as soon as Li Yi entered the door, he started talking about Chen Deng's hobbies and never talked about political affairs.

As a result, Chen Deng let down his guard. He didn't expect Li Yi to suddenly throw such a bomb. Wouldn't Chen Deng be a little out of control?
"Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs."

"Doesn't Yuanlong want to try this bream sashimi?"

Li Yi's face was as calm as still water, and he spoke to Chen Deng calmly.

Chen Deng's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice:

"Zi Yu's words seem to have a hidden meaning."

Li Yi was prepared for Chen Deng's reaction.

"Yuanlong, why don't you sit down first, and Rong Yi will explain the pros and cons."

Chen Deng immediately bowed and said, "Excuse me."

He lifted his clothes and sat down again.

"Among the five counties of Xuzhou, Guangling is the most important."

"Since the death of the governor Zhao Yu, the territory was taken over by Yuan Shu."

"Yuan Shu is a narrow-minded and arrogant man who is vindictive and has no heroic spirit."

"The people of Guangling don't like to work with him."

"Yuan Shu took charge of Yangzhou affairs and was also called the Earl of Xuzhou. His ambition to swallow up Xuzhou in the north was obvious."

"So the envoy hopes that Yuanlong will take the post of Guangling governor and threaten Yuan Shu's flank."

"After all... Yuan Long doesn't want Yuan Shu to get involved in Xuzhou, right?"

Sometimes sincerity can also be used in politics.

Li Yi did not beat around the bush in his words. He told you directly that he hopes your Chen family will help us fight Yuan Shu.

He knew that there was no need to beat around the bush when talking to a smart man like Chen Deng.

You just need to explain the interests clearly. People care more about Xuzhou's gains and losses than you do.

Chen Deng said nothing and looked solemn.

It seems that he is also struggling with whether to risk the Chen family and go to Guangling to fight the Skeleton King.

Yuan Shu's threat was real. The purpose of the Xuzhou nobles welcoming Liu Bei to Xuzhou was that they did not want people like Yuan Shu to get involved in Xuzhou. And the Yuan family had a strong foundation. Liu Bei wanted the Chen and Yuan families to fight each other so that he could reap the benefits. Chen Deng also saw this clearly.

The interests involved in this matter were so huge that it was impossible for Chen Deng to give Li Yi an immediate reply.

"It turned out that it was Mr. Li who recommended me. I am extremely honored."

"But this matter is of great importance, and I cannot make a decision lightly."

"How about I discuss this with my father after he comes back and then give you an answer?"

Hahaha……

Li Yi laughed out loud. This Chen Yuanlong really had a strong personality. After realizing that he had set a trap for him, he changed his address to "sir".

Suddenly, we became much more distant.

Li Yi could understand it, grinning and saying:

It's okay. I think your father will be proud of you when he learns that Yuanlong has been promoted."

You boy...

Chen Deng muttered to himself, now that Li Yi said this, I should thank you, right?

You didn't even mention asking our Chen family to take the blame for you.

All he talks about is ideology, but all he thinks about is business.

This Li Yi is really a smart guy.

However, Chen Deng could also understand why Li Yi was able to become Liu Bei's military advisor at such a young age. He was indeed a man of meticulous mind.

Even Chen Deng was let down by Li Yi at the beginning and was caught off guard, which led to his loss of composure for a while.

"Xuzhou is the Xuzhou of the Xuzhou people, and my lord is the lord of Xuzhou."

"Yuan Shu has coveted Xuzhou for a long time. Everything my lord has done is to protect Xuzhou."

"I hope Yuanlong can distinguish priorities and put the most important things first."

Li Yi's expression suddenly became serious, and he explained to Chen Deng in a serious manner.

This was to remind Chen Deng that Liu Bei and you, the Xuzhou nobles, are in the same boat.

One glory and one glory.

While helping Liu Bei, aren't you also helping yourselves?

Chen Deng was thoughtful after hearing this.

Li Yi continued speaking.

"Yuanlong, do you still remember what I said just now?"

"Pro-Yuan Xian fish, as retreat webs."

"Guangling was originally a prosperous place, but due to the wars in the past two years, the fields have become barren and the people have been displaced."

"Yuanlong was once the captain of the agricultural department. I heard that you were looking for suitable land and fields and making full use of irrigation."

"He has accumulated a lot of wealth for Xuzhou, which makes Ling Yi admire him very much."

"How can a man with extraordinary talent be confined to a bush of thorns?"

"Raise your head, and you will have a broader world!"

Know it with emotion, move it with reason.

This is Li Yi's common routine when interacting with others.

But it was also his true words.

As a man of many talents in military affairs, internal affairs and diplomacy, it was a waste of talent for Chen Deng to just seek a minor official position in Xia Pi.

Guangling is very suitable for him.

Large development space and good geographical location.

Historically, this greatly restricted the development of Sun Wu. Both Sun Ce and Sun Quan were defeated by Chen Deng.

Sun Shiwan's first glorious victory of defeating a smaller force with a larger one was achieved by Chen Deng.

Later, every time Cao Cao went to the river, he would lament that Chen Deng died early and ordered "to feed his minions with pigs."

That is to say, it means to let the big pig Sun Quan grow claws and fangs, and to express his feeling that Sun Wu has become more powerful in Jiangdong.

Chen Deng's untimely death was entirely his own fault.

This guy loves to eat sashimi, and most of the food he eats is river fish.

River fish have the most parasites.

When Hua Tuo prescribed medicine for him, he vomited out three liters of worms.

The head is red and still moving, which is really scary.

The medical and health care system in ancient times was not well developed, so it was normal for Chen Deng to get sick from eating the way he did.

Just when Li Yi was about to say goodbye to Chen Deng, Chen Deng suddenly shook and shouted -

"Wow!!"
