Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Wang Lang said with a smile: "Wang is blunt, and thought that the lord's guild had lost face to the court in the matter of Yangzhou. In this way, he told the court that the lord intends to control Yangzhou, so the court must be vigilant. However, the lord cut off the offering to the court. Although it is not very good to say, how many states and counties in the world are willing to pay tribute to the imperial court?"

"As far as Wang knows, there are only three places this year: Jingzhou, Xuzhou, and Yizhou. But among them, Xuzhou is in war, financial resources are exhausted, and Yizhou is far away and the roads are not smooth. Only Jingzhou is rich and close to Chang'an. Now the imperial court Half of the cost has to be supplied by Jingzhou, so if the Marquis of Xiang cut off this supply, the court will have to sit on the wax, and "

Wang Lang stroked his beard proudly, and said: "Besides, the master's move is brilliant because most of the states and counties in the world don't attack and pay tribute to Chang'an. It is benevolence and righteousness for the master to pay tribute. If you don't attack, no one can blame Marquis Xiang , even if the imperial court can’t, otherwise, where will the states and counties of the world be placed?”

"This time the imperial court hurriedly dispatched officials to Yangzhou, not so much to compete with the Marquis Xiang and guard against the Marquis Xiang, but more because they despised the Marquis Xiang's background and felt that it would be okay to offend the Lord. Then, the Marquis Xiang cut off the supply. The imperial court is poor and lacks food and clothing. At that time, the imperial court will naturally wake up. Although the Marquis Xiang is a minister, he is the court's food and clothing. Even if the imperial court will not put an end to the incident in Yangzhou this time, it will definitely restrain it a lot."

"Thus, this subordinate thinks that the lord's decision can warn the court without causing any rift between the two parties, which is just right!"

After listening to Wang Lang's explanation, Wei Yan and others suddenly realized that if it weren't for Wang Lang's analysis, they really wouldn't have realized the balance between them.

Li Yi looked at Wang Lang, his eyes were full of satisfaction. Wang Lang is a man who is very good at pondering his thoughts, and he is considered a great talent, but he lacks a kind of atmosphere, or leadership temperament, and he is not the material for being a leader.

However, this is already very good, and it suits Li Yi's appetite.

Li Yi praised: "The great kindness you said is exactly what I think in my heart. Hehe, the imperial court made you the prefect of Wu County. It is really a shame. Tell me that the Wang Situ in the court should be changed with Mr. , this is appropriate."

A gleam of joy appeared on Wang Lang's face, but he said modestly: "My lord is too famous, but my subordinates are not."

Just as he was about to continue talking, Wang Lang stopped talking, because he realized that although Li Yi's words were flattering him, they were also hurting that Wang Situ. It can be seen that Li Yi disliked him very much, so he It would be inappropriate to continue to be humble.

Therefore, Wang Lang stopped talking, and changed his words: "My lord mentioned Wang Situ, but my subordinates remembered that I had talked with the angel before. Although the angel did not say anything clearly, my subordinates speculated that the appointment of officials in Yangzhou this time, the person in charge There are Situ Wang Yun, Tai Wei Yang Biao, Wei Wei Shi Sun Rui, Da Si Nong Zhu Jun and others, and among them, Wang Yun is the most!"

Chapter 536 Fu Chun

"Wang Yun!"

If Wang Lang was only talking about Yang Biao and others, Li Yi wouldn't care too much about it. After all, although the imperial court's plan for Yangzhou was a bit inferior, it was still for the sake of the emperor. Of course, Li Yi was very annoyed by you It is a great joy to arrange a banquet, and to have Mr. Wang's help today, so we should celebrate it well. "

"Here!"

Wei Yan clasped his fists immediately to accept the order, and went down to prepare, but Wang Lang secretly complained, he drank a lot of wine before, and there was another one coming soon, and he couldn't refuse, fearing half his life would be lost.

While waiting for Wei Yan's arrangement, the few people chatted casually. Li Yi and Wang Lang talked about many family matters. Suddenly, Li Yi thought of what Wang Lang had said before, and asked, "Mr. Candidates for the prefect, I don’t know who is the master recommending?”

Hearing Li Yi's question, Wang Lang said with some embarrassment: "Lang thinks that people are soft-spoken, and the so-called recommendation is mostly innumerable. Gu Er didn't think too much when recommending candidates to the angel, and he was talking about his close friends."

"One is Zhao Yu from Xuzhou. The Marquis Xiang has also met him. Although Yuan Da's talent and qualifications are higher than mine, since I entered Yangzhou, the imperial court should no longer consider him."

Li Yi was a little regretful when he heard that, after all, we were all acquaintances, and with Wang Lang's relationship, it would not be difficult to fool him.

Wang Lang continued: "As for the other person, although Marquis Xiang has never met him, he should have heard of his name, that is the leader of Yilong, Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu."

After all, Wang Lang wanted to talk about Hua Xin for Li Yi, but Li Yi suddenly burst out laughing, which made him a little confused. So, when Li Yi stopped laughing, Wang Lang asked with some doubts: " Why is the lord laughing, but what is wrong with the recommendation of the subordinate?"

"No no."

Li Yi waved his hands again and again, but he was thinking in his heart that Hua Xin and Wang Lang were the assistant directors of the big scene where Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty abdicated. It would be interesting if Hua Xin also came to Yangzhou.

Moreover, although Wang Lang said that the person he recommended was hopeless, Li Yi had an inexplicable premonition that Hua Xin might appear in Yangzhou

As for the fact that Wang Lang joined Li Yi, Li Yi just celebrated Wang Lang with wine in private, and did not publicize it on the surface. After all, Wang Lang is still a member of the imperial court in name, and Li Yi has no need to use Wang Lang to embarrass the imperial court. That would be of no benefit to him at all. It would be better to let Wang Lang stay in Wu County and let Li Yi manage the place, and reduce the vigilance of the court by the way.

After Li Yi and others repaired in Shicheng for a day, the army moved again the next day, but not long after leaving the city, the army that had just merged into one was divided into two again, and Wei Yan led 1 people straight to Wujun Going to Wu County, Li Yi led five thousand soldiers, and with Wang Lang who had just been recruited, he first marched south in Danyang County, and after passing Wucheng where the brothers of Yan's family in Wu County were, he suddenly turned east and entered Wu County. County boundaries, and then rushed all the way down, heading straight to Fuchun, Sun Ce's hometown.

Li Yi was walking in Danyang County in this way. Although he had tried his best to hide his whereabouts, Yuan Yin, the prefect of Danyang, was not blind. He soon discovered this team of 5000 people. Among the soldiers and horses, if he can take the opportunity to take Li Yi down, not only will he be able to break the siege of Yuan Shu, but it will also ensure that Yangzhou will have no worries in the future.

But Yuan Yin is not Yuan Shu, he doesn't have the courage to confront Li Yi head-on, and his elite soldiers have long been supported by Yuan Shu, and now only a few thousand old and weak can be called, it's okay to fight bandits and bandits, yes When it came to Li Yi, he felt that he had no chance of winning.

According to the scouts, although Li Yi didn't have many soldiers, only five thousand, half of them were cavalry. Even if Yuan Yin was lucky enough to win one or two battles, but with the cavalry, he would not be able to keep Li Yi.

Moreover, compared to those cavalry, the infantry under Li Yi's command is actually more terrifying. Not to mention whether the infantry is strong or not, and whether the armor is firm, they all make a sound when they walk. Let Yuan Yin label Li Yi as invincible.

Therefore, when Li Yi passed through Danyang, Yuan Yin seemed to have disappeared, and he didn't cause Li Yi any trouble at all, let alone stop him, but it made Li Yi very disappointed.

Although Li Yi's trip was for the affairs of Wu County, if he had the chance, he would not mind knocking out Yuan Yin at all, because the 5000 men under his command are the most elite troops in Jingzhou, plus Dian Wei Ganning These two fierce generals, as long as they don't let them attack the city, let alone Yuan Yin, even if Sun Ce comes, Li Yi has no reason to lose in the field encounters.

Therefore, Li Yi really wanted to have a battle with Yuan Yin, but he didn't accept the move at all, and Li Yi couldn't help it.

In this way, Li Yi entered Wu County smoothly, because he had circled a semicircle around Wucheng County where the Yan family brothers were located, and Wei Yan's [-] troops were on the front cover, so whether it is When the Yan family brothers and the Fuchun Sun family got the news from Li Yi, Li Yi's soldiers and horses were almost at the city of Fuchun.

Not to mention how Li Yi suddenly appeared in Fuchun, how the Yan family brothers would feel, but the Sun family panicked.

Sun Ce fought against Lu Kang in Lujiang before, so it was naturally impossible for him to take his family there, it was not safe, and Yuan Shu didn't allow it.

Some time ago, after Sun Ce became self-reliant, he had the intention to take all his family members to Lujiang to resettle. However, Sun Ce claimed to have mastered Lujiang County, but in fact, he only captured a few more important counties. People in many places refused to accept him. Therefore, Lujiang itself is not considered safe, and there is a Danyang in the middle, if he is discovered by Yuan Yin during his migration, Yuan Yin will definitely not let his family go.

Therefore, Sun Ce did not rush to ask his family to relocate. Anyway, Fuchun is still safe for the time being. Even if Li Yi goes to Wujun in the future, Fuchun is south of Fuchun, and he will not contact Li Yibingfeng immediately. The Sun family has time to come again. take refuge.

This time the Sun family heard that Li Yi had sent a large army into Wu County, so they didn't panic. They were still far away anyway, but they never expected that when they woke up, Li Yi had already arrived outside the city. It is difficult for them to run even if they want to.

On the head of Fuchun City, there are four men, two of them are older, one is Mrs. Sun's younger brother Wu Jing, who is also Sun Ce's uncle, and the other is Sun Jian's younger brother Sun Jing, who is also a member of the current Sun family. The person in charge.

Standing next to them are two young people, one is Sun Ben, the son of elder brother Sun Jing, and the other is the child of Sun Jian's younger sister, the son of the Xu family of a prominent family in Fuchun, Xu Kun, Sun and Xu are very close .

Except for Sun Jing, the four of them were all in armor, with swords in their hands, staring at the outside of the city for a moment, waiting for Li Yi to appear, but although the four of them looked majestic, their faces were very dignified, obviously Not much confidence in what might happen later.

It is also unlucky for the Sun family. In order to support Sun Ce's affairs in Lujiang, some time ago, the Sun family, relying on their own reputation and prestige, gathered more than a thousand young men and sent them to Lujiang to help Sun Ce. The Sun family was naturally a little weak, and Li Yi just Coming at this time, it can be said that it hit the Sun family's weakness.

Fuchun is not a big city, nor is it a strategic location. There are only a few hundred defenders, which are not enough to deal with Li Yi's 2000 army. After Yi broke the city, he would massacre the city, but he only organized a group of young men with a thousand people to go up to the top of the city. Counting the original soldiers, there were less than [-] people at full strength.

The soldiers here are naturally not elite, and the young and strong have never been trained in the army, and they have never seen blood. They don't have the bloodiness of soldiers at all. In addition, they are all recruited in a hurry, and the weapons in their hands are even more crude. , Many people are holding sticks and hoes in their hands. Once Li Yi attacks, they basically either surrender or run for their lives. Therefore, although the two thousand at the top of the city and the five thousand at the bottom of the city are okay, Sun Jing and others are not at all. He thought that with his own strength, he could stop the troops led by Li Yi.

What needs to be said here is that when the county magistrate of Fuchun learned that Li Yi's army was approaching, he was frightened and decided to open the city to surrender Li Yi. However, the plan was not secret, and Sun Jing who got the news put him under house arrest. stand up.

The four of them looked at the wasteland outside the city and listened to the uneasy whispers of the soldiers at the top of the city and the young and strong. Finally, Xu Kun, who was the youngest, couldn't help but asked: "Uncles, the soldiers at the top of the city have neither morale nor morale. Without sharp-edged armor, if we stick to the city, I'm afraid it won't last long, and the two uncles need to get a proper regulation."

As soon as Xu Kun opened his mouth, Sun Ben also looked at the two elders, because what Xu Kun said was what he wanted to ask, and Sun Ben also knew that what Xu Kun said was actually being polite. Touch and fall.

Being watched by the two juniors, Sun Jing and Wu Jing looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.

Among the four of them, both Wu Jing and Sun Ben fought with Sun Jian. Although they don't say they are generals, they are no worse than ordinary officers, while Sun Jing is always resourceful and knows the formation of the army. As for the matter, even if they lost to Li Yi with their talents, they wouldn't be afraid too much, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the defenseless Fu Chun bumped into Li Yi's elite, what did they do?

After a long time, Sun Jing sighed and said, "Boyang, do you think it is possible to hold on to this city?"

Sun Ben pursed his lips. He really wanted to say aloud, what would happen if Li Yi was blocked in the city. However, he knew that the gap between the two sides was too great, and the battle was about the life and death of the Sun family. child's play?

Seeing that Sun Ben bowed his head and remained silent, Sun Jing did not blame him, but instead smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him: "As a general, you must judge the situation, know how to advance and retreat, and raise troops without being angry. Yes, your father has knowledge, I should also be pleased."

Sun Ben was very puzzled when he heard Sun Jing praise him, and looked up at Sun Jing, but Sun Jing ignored him, looking left and right at the expressions on the young and strong faces, his eyes were full of helplessness.

In order to let the young and strong defend the city against Li Yi, Sun Jing said that Li Yi would surely slaughter the city after breaking the city, but although the people were afraid, they did not believe that Li Yi would really slaughter the city, and some even refuted him, saying that Li Xianghou was loyal and courageous , so famous all over the world

Under such circumstances, Sun Jing was angry and helpless.

Thinking about those things, Sun Jing gradually made up her mind, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "As Kun'er said, Fuchun will definitely not be able to stop Li Yi's army, and it may not be impossible to break the city in an instant, so I have a It may be possible to keep our family and property safe.”

Hearing Sun Jing's words, both Sun Ben and Xu Kun's eyes lit up, their faces showed anticipation, and they said in unison: "I will wait to obey my uncle's orders!"
