0515: Surprised Li Yi
After receiving the news of the change in Chang'an, Li Yi began to carry out armaments and sent people to inquire about the news of Chang'an. Although there is a deviation between the current situation and the historical record, the remnants of Dong Zhuo are still there, and they are still commanding a large number of troops. In this case, what kind of changes will occur in the situation in Guanzhong, Li Yi does not dare to guarantee. So he has to be completely prepared for any eventuality. Isn't there such a saying? Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
It's just that although Li Yi has been speculating about the various changes that may occur in the imperial court and Guanzhong after Dong Zhuo's death during this time, when the results appear, he is still a little hard to believe.
"Li Su is dead? Ma Teng took control of the imperial court? Li Yi looked at the holy decree in his hand, and the shock in his heart didn't know what to say, because he really didn't expect Ma Teng to be able to ascend to the throne, and he controlled the imperial court so quickly. Because if you calculate the time, this holy decree can basically be said to have been sent out less than two days after Dong Zhuo's death.
Well, it seems that Li Yi seems to look down on Ma Teng, but Li Yi can't be blamed for this. After the death of Dong Zhuo, Ma Teng in history became the most powerful force in Guan, although he united with Han Sui and dominated Youfufeng and Liangzhou. But in the face of Li Dao, he was directly beaten back to Liangzhou, and finally accepted Li Dao's persuasion. Then, he was toyed with by Cao Cao in applause.
And today's Ma Teng, although he has Liangzhou as his backing, Liangzhou is not the only one Ma Teng! In addition, it was impossible for those scholars and doctors in the court to tolerate Dong Zhuo's death, so another person appeared to replace Dong Zhuo. This made Li Yi naturally feel that it would be difficult for Ma Teng and Li Su to control the imperial court, or in other words, to control the imperial court in a short period of time.
But now, Ma Teng not only succeeded, but also made Li Yi staggered by his speed. Because Li Yi thought that even if it was him, it would be difficult for Ma Teng to quickly control the imperial court, right?
Of course, this is not stated in this holy decree, but from the content of this holy decree, Li Yi is enough to guess the hidden meaning behind it.
Suddenly, Li Yi chuckled, and then handed the holy decree to Guo Jia and Xun Yu and said with a smile, "This Ma Teng is quite interesting." ”
Hearing this, Guo Jia and the others took the holy decree and looked at it, and after half a sound, Guo Jia said respectfully, "Lord, that Ma Teng should not be underestimated!" ”
"Not bad!" Xun Yu opened his mouth and agreed, "That Ma Teng can control the imperial court in such a short period of time, and whether it is to worship Yuan Cheqi as a general, or to worship General Yuan as a chariot general, the meaning is to make the already chaotic situation in Kanto become more and more out of control." In this way, as long as the lord can be stabilized, then Ma Teng can deal with Dong Zhuo's remnants with peace of mind, and then quickly control the entire Guanzhong! ”
"Yes......" Li Yi shook his head and sighed when he heard this, "In this way, it seems that Zishi sacrificed ...... in vain."
"The lord doesn't need to be so pessimistic, maybe Ma Teng is indeed a loyal minister?" Xun Yu said comfortingly when he heard this.
Well, he didn't believe what he said, after all, if Ma Teng was really a loyal minister, it would be impossible to promote Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. On the contrary, they will immediately notify the world and force Yuan Shao and others to cease fighting.
"Forget it, whether Ma Teng is loyal or traitorous, it won't take long for the truth to be revealed......," Li Yi said casually. In his opinion, although this incident surprised him, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, even if Ma Teng completely controlled the imperial court, he still hadn't solved the problems of Dong Zhuo's remnants.
"Thinking that Ma Teng will definitely transfer troops from Liangzhou to deter the scholars and doctors of the imperial court and those Dong Zhuo remnants. However, there are also a lot of soldiers in the hands of Dong Zhuo's remnants, and they occupy Hedong, Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong. Hehe, it's really a great opportunity, but I don't know if Feng Xian and Bowu can seize it......" Li Yi thought to himself.
If he knew that Lu Bu was about to take Hedong at this time, and Tong Fei had also taken Hangu Pass and invaded Hongnong County, I don't know how Li Yi would feel? Will there be an inexplicable sense of helplessness? As the lord, he hasn't done anything, and his subordinates have already done what he wants to do......
Well, when Li Yi received the news and battle report sent by Tong Fei and Lu Bu, he did feel a little helpless, but more than that, he was ecstatic and relieved. Xide naturally has the advantage of Hedong and Hongnong, and has also obtained two generals such as Li Dao and Xu Rong. And the relief is because Lu Bu and Tong Fei have finally grown into generals who are enough to be in charge on their own! This made Li Yi inexplicably feel a sense of achievement. After all, Li Yi can be regarded as half a master for Lu Bu and Tong Fei.
However, in addition to ecstasy and relief, Li Yi also had a trace of shock, because from the information of Lu Bu and Tong Fei, Li Yi was surprised to find that Ma Teng's handling methods and speed exceeded his imagination when facing those Dong Zhuo's remaining troops.
"If it weren't for Feng Xian and Bo Wu's speed being fast enough, I'm afraid that by the time I gather my troops and prepare to go south, I will already be facing Ma Teng, who has completely absorbed Dong Zhuo's forces and then controlled Guanzhong, right?" Li Yi thought to himself.
Thinking of this, Li Yi immediately summoned Guo Jia and Xun Yu and told them about this matter, "Both, what do you think should happen now?" ”
Just hearing Li Yi's words, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "Didn't the lord already have a plan in his heart?" ”
"Ahem!" As soon as the words fell, I heard a dry cough, and then I saw Xun Yu on the side after giving Guo Jia a look, and the respectful Li Yi said, "Lord, my subordinates think that now that Ma Teng has taken over the rest of Dong Zhuo of Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong, then the lord should no longer send troops to the division." Now he is already the hero of the eradication of Dong Zhuo, and he is also the general of the hussars, if he continues to send troops without a suitable reason......"
"Yes......" Li Yi sighed helplessly when he heard this. The previous attack on Hedong and even Hanguguan and other places was naturally used as a banner to eradicate Dong Zhuo's remnants. But now, the remaining remnants of Dong Zhuo have taken refuge in Ma Teng, although Li Yi suspects that Ma Teng will become the second Dong Zhuo, but he is now an out-and-out hero who killed Dong Zhuo and a hussar general of the imperial court. If you continue to attack, it will basically be considered a rebellion.
In fact, whether it was Lu Bu attacking Hedong or Tong Fei taking Hangu Pass and then attacking Hongnong, it was all under the banner of eradicating Dong Zhuo's remnants. After all, Li Yi is still a member of the coalition army......
Well...... Although it exists in name only, it hasn't been officially disbanded after all, has it?
So even if he is unwilling, Li Yi can only do this. Unless, what justification can be obtained......
