Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Also, you sue Liu Biao that his navy is not available, so it's better to disband, so as not to have friction and misunderstanding with my navy." Lewy finally said to Yi Yuan.
Yi Ji is already sweating profusely at the moment, and under Liu Yi's seemingly very tough attitude, no matter how good his eloquence is, there is no way to say more.
For Yi and Xun You, there are completely different attitudes, Liu Yi originally planned to get a batch of grain from Liu Biao, and it would be best for him to send someone here now, he could take this opportunity to knock Liu Biao and make Liu Biao succumb.
Liu Yi believes that after a while, when Gan Ning leads tens of thousands of sailors back to Dongting Lake Xinzhou, it will definitely touch Liu Biao's fragile nerves. At that time, there will only be two choices left for Liu Biao, one is to give Liu Yi the food he asked. The second is to start a war with Liu Yi.
Liu Yi was not worried about whether Liu Biao would give him food, nor was he afraid that he would really go to war with him. He ordered Gan Ning to lead the army back to Dongting Lake Xinzhou, and was ready to start a war with Liu Biao. There was already an order for Gan Ning to shoot at Liu Biao's army first.
In fact, if Liu Biao does not give food, he will shoot Liu Biao's army. If Liu Biao's water army is not solved, Liu Yi will not be able to completely control the Yangtze River Basin. Now, just give Liu Biao a warning, hoping that he can see the shape clearly.
And Yi also knew that from the beginning, Liu Biao was most worried about Liu Yi's base in Dongting Lake Xinzhou. Dongting Lake Xinzhou is equivalent to a thorn in Liu Biao's heart, he wants to take it away in his dreams, but he has never dared to declare war on Liu Yi, because he is afraid of Liu Yi's toughness and bravery. This time. If it is inevitable, Liu Yi wants to send troops to Dongting Lake Xinzhou, and Liu Biao will definitely be scared to death.
In fact, Yi Yuan felt that it was also a pity that when Liu Biao controlled Jingzhou and successfully gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, he should have forcibly removed the uncertain force of Dongting Lake Xinzhou, so that Jingzhou could be completely controlled by Liu Biao, and there was no need to worry about it like today. It is also impossible for Liu Yi to send troops to Dongting Lake.
If there is no threat from the heart, with Liu Biaoxi's strength, as long as the Tun army is in the Xiangyang area, it may not be impossible to fight with Liu Yi.
Like the current situation, Liu Biao has actually lost the opportunity to truly become a hegemon. Because Lewi has now become a general trend.
Although Yi nationality voted for Liu Biao, his loyalty to Liu Biao was actually very limited, otherwise, he would have been after Liu Bei defected to Liu Biao. He would often get together with Liu Bei, and eventually followed Liu Bei.
Right now. After he met with Liu Yi and heard about Liu Yi's tough plan, Yi knew that the overall situation had been decided, and it was impossible to change the matter of Liu Yi sending troops to Jingzhou. At this time, he had to plan for his future path.
Of course, he is still Liu Biao's subordinate, and he didn't show anything in front of Liu Yi. It was just a silent plan in his heart.
"Taifu, in that case, Yi Mou returned to Jingzhou. I will definitely report the Taifu's decision to my father-in-law. "The Iraqi are ready to retire.
"Mr. Yi, now that you have said the business of your envoy. Now, let's talk about your personal affairs, Mr. Yi. Liu Yi suddenly said with a kind look.
"We? What private matters do we have to talk about? Yi said with a stunned expression.
"Hehe, there are a lot of topics to talk about." Liu Yi smiled casually at Yi Yuan, stood up from the chair next to the throne, walked down the class, and came to Yi Yuan. Stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder, and said, "Actually, Mr. Yi has long known what the situation of Dahan is now." Now the princes of the world. Who doesn't have different intentions and support their own troops and stand on their own, and they do this, who doesn't want to take advantage of the chaos of the Han Dynasty and it seems that they are exhausted to dominate the world and be able to be called the king and emperor? There are many things that no one has put in the light of the place. It can be said that now, almost every prince in the world is like this, obviously preparing to take advantage of the chaos to seize the Han Dynasty, but everyone dares to say that, they all regard themselves as upright and virtuous, and everyone finds all kinds of excuses and refuses to submit to the Han court. It's hypocrisy. ”
"Well, then, isn't that the same thing? Also hypocritical like the princes of the world? Seeing that Liu Yi was a little worried about him, Yi Yi couldn't help but say straightforwardly.
"Ha, this ......" Liu Yi couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said: "As for me, I can be regarded as a hypocrite, but if I really say that XX is a hypocrite, XX will be a little aggrieved." Why? ”
Liu Yi said to himself: "To be honest, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor, and a good prince." However, it is not easy to be a good emperor. I, Liu Yi, do have the idea of wanting to be an emperor in my heart, but in fact, I hate being an emperor very much. Because, it's too annoying, there are too many government affairs, as an emperor, every decision will be related to the livelihood of millions of people in the world, and if it is not handled well, you will become a sinner. It's nerve-wracking. Therefore, I, Liu Yi, can be considered to have figured it out, in fact, in my heart, it is not that I must be the emperor, no matter who it is, I can't threaten me Liu Yi, and I can rule the Han well, revitalize the Han, and make the Han Dynasty prosperous forever and for a long time, so no matter who is the emperor, I don't care. In the final analysis, I, Liu, actually just want to revitalize the Han Dynasty and let us Han people stand on the top of the world forever. If the current young emperor, he can become a real sage king, then Liu will support him wholeheartedly, but in case he is a faint monarch, then I am embarrassed, this emperor, I did it myself. ”
A cold sweat broke out on his head, although there were not many officials present in this court, but Liu Yi was really bold to say such things in front of him. Seriously, Yi Yi is not worried about anything at the moment, but is worried that Liu Yi will kill him because he listened to these bold words and listened to these words that he shouldn't have heard.
"Taifu, Yi wants to retire, I have to go back and tell my father-in-law what Taifu meant." Yi really didn't feel like he should stay here anymore and talk to Leo about it.
"Mr. Yi, I think you are a good talent. Now that there is no shortage of talents in the New Han Dynasty, I hope you can consider staying in the New Han Dynasty and serving the Great Han. Levio said directly.
"Ah, this, Taifu, is this...... Let Yi think about it? When Yi heard that Liu Yi actually wanted to recruit him, he was a little surprised, and he was a little at a loss for a while.
"Of course, I'll naturally give you time to think about it, sir. I still want Mr. You to think about it, there is no future with Liu Biao, to be honest, even if I don't send troops to embarrass him, he will not be someone else's opponent in the future, and sooner or later he will be destroyed by others, therefore, Mr. should think about his future earlier. A certain person has to mistake his own future. ”
"It must be ......," Yi secretly wiped his sweat.
Now, he is really a little scared of Liu Yi, who frankly said that he wants to be the emperor. However, I do feel that I should think carefully about whether I should choose another master.
Liu Yi did not embarrass his nationality and let him leave safely. Liu Yi recruited Iraqi nationality, and it was naturally best to be able to recruit him, even if he couldn't recruit him, he would see clearly that there would be no way out for him to follow Liu Biao again, so he would naturally not be so loyal to Liu Biao. If you want to get a large amount of food from Liu Biao's hands, you have to cooperate with Yi Yuan. Otherwise, if he really wants to start a full-scale war against Liu Biao, Liu Yi can't afford to fight.
After Yi left, Liu Yi met with many envoys from various princes one after another.
The envoys sent by these princes, they all meant the same, and Liu Yi saw it. Just politely flipped it over, and didn't say anything more to them.
Like the people sent by Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yi only said that the war between the two of them had no intention of interfering. However, for the sake of the same Hanchen, I hope that they can all put the people everywhere first, and it is best for them to rest their troops and develop with peace of mind.
The envoys sent by Kong Rong in Beihai and Tao Qian in Xuzhou made Liu Yi feel a little comforted, because they brought a batch of grain and gave it to Liu Yi, and at the same time, compared with the obscurity of other princes, Kong Rong and Tao Qian both made it clear that the young emperor could be orthodox in the Han Dynasty, and if necessary, they could come to Luoyang to meet Liu Yi.
They may not really come, but they can say so, and they are indeed more sincere. In fact, it is impossible for Lewis to let them come now. Beihai and Xuzhou are both far away from Luoyang, and there are several forces in between. If they really came, then Beihai and Xuzhou would immediately become borderless lands, and disputes would arise, and Liu Yi would not be able to take care of the affairs of those two places.
Besides, it is impossible for Cao Cao to let Liu Yi take over those two places. Even if Liu Yi accepts it, it may not be easy, there is no such strength to stabilize the territory, and there is no strength to ensure the stability of those places.
The grain they sent, the two families only had a total of 30,000 or 40,000 stones, which was not much, and Liu Yiquan accepted it. And like the holy decree, in the name of the New Han Dynasty, officially recognized Kong Rong as the Beihai Taishou and Tao Qian as the Xuzhou Taishou.
This is the first time that Liu Yi, the new Han court, officially recognized the status of a prince. At the beginning, Jizhou Han Fu, he was killed before he came to Luoyang, so that incident is not counted.
Among the many envoys, the envoy sent by Yuan Shu was more strange. Perhaps because of the problem that Yuan Shu specially explained, the envoy he sent was quite proud, and actually spoke with a threat, thinking that Liu Yi would dedicate the young emperor to Yuan Shu, and said that if Yuan Shu's request was not met, Yuan Shu would definitely lead the army to attack Luoyang in the future.
I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen such two people. Which green onion is Yuan Shu now? Dare to challenge Lewy? Yuan Shao and Cao Cao didn't dare to speak ill of Liu Yi, but they didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so stupid.
Perhaps, Yuan Shu now thinks that he is strong and strong, and he is thousands of miles away from Liu Yi's forces, and there is such a distance in between, Liu Yi has not been able to coerce him, so he is a little arrogant.
Liu Yi directly ordered someone to drive Yuan Shu's envoys out of Luoyang, and asked those messengers to go back and tell Yuan Shu that he could prepare two million stone of grain and go to get it in person in the future.
This girl, Liu Yi really wanted to find Yuan Shu's bad luck, but I didn't expect him to send it to the door stupidly, so that Liu Yi could find an excuse to ask Yuan Shu for food. What about thousands of miles apart? When the time comes, he can directly come to the city of Yangzhou from the waterway to see if Yuan Shu will give food.
Now Yuan Shu does have a lot of troops and a wide range of food, but he does not have too many fierce generals, and the combat effectiveness of his army soldiers is much weaker than that of other princes. After Yuan Shu became the emperor, he couldn't even beat Liu Bei, and was finally killed by Liu Bei, looking at this, you know that Yuan Shu is just a straw bag, and he has no ability at all. That's it. He still dares to challenge Liu Yi now, and dares to offend Liu Yi, it seems that he is really disgusted.
In any case, the princes of the world sent envoys to Luoyang, which also made Luoyang's status rise immediately. The princes of the world did not recognize the legitimacy of the new Han court in Luoyang, but their actions more or less showed that the current new Han court was more important in the eyes of the people of the world than the Han court controlled by Dong Zhuo.
However, whether it is from Cao Cao, Liu Biao, or the envoys of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and others. Liu Yi more or less saw some of the evil intentions of these princes.
That is, they all said two Han courts, making it difficult for them to determine which one was the real Han orthodoxy. When they said this, they actually wanted to provoke Liu Yi to go to war against Dong Zhuo. If Liu Yi and Dong Zhuo are entangled in battle, then it will definitely be impossible to use troops against them immediately, so that they can all get a little respite, and they don't have to worry about what Liu Yi will do with them immediately.
Especially Zhang Yang of the party, he sent people to almost lobby Liu Yi to start a war against Dong Zhuo. Said the flamboyant messenger. As long as Liu Yi destroys Dong Zhuo, there will only be one new Han court left. Then, the princes of the world have nothing to choose, and he has no choice in Zhang Yang, and when the time comes, he will definitely submit to Liu Yi as soon as possible.
Hehe, if Liu Yi still had supplies and military rations now, and there was no need for the princes of the world to provoke, Liu Yi would have sent troops to Dong Zhuo a long time ago. It's a pity. It is useless for them to provoke, and Leo Yi now has no food to support a big war.
After dealing with the affairs of the envoys sent by the princes, Liu Yi was a little more relaxed.
It's starting to get colder.
When they returned to the Zhenfeng Grain Mansion, all the women pulled Liu Yi and took out the new winter clothes they made for Liu Yi to try on.
Enjoying the services of many women in the family, Liu Yi suddenly remembered Guo Jia's mother-in-law.
Some time ago, Guo Jianiang was deceived and coaxed and brought her to his home. Then he entered the palace and lived for several days, and then the matter of the envoys of the princes, and he was not able to treat Guo Jianiang for a while.
Liu Yi said to Zhang Shao, who was trying on clothes for himself: "By the way, Sister Zhang Shao." What is Du Niang's situation now? Are you still used to living in our house? ”
Zhang Shao tidied up Liu Yi's clothes, looked up at Liu Yi and said, "Hmph, I only remember it now?" Is it that there are too many ladies to be busy? deceived people here, and ignored them, if we hadn't accompanied her, she might have to go back to Guo's mansion. ”
"Well, I asked Du Niang to come to our house, in fact, the main thing is to want you to spend more time with her, so that she can get used to life in our house. Besides, her body has not yet adjusted to the best condition, and she is not in a hurry to heal. Liu Yi said, and pointed to the sky outside: "But anyone who suffers from a condition like Du Niang, every winter in the dry season, may get sick because of the weather." Let her live in our home, so that you can observe her at any time. ”
"So, when are you going to heal her?" Zhang Shao is also a little worried about Du Niang now.
"I'll take a look and talk about it, originally, it would be better to wait until spring to heal her, at that time, it is the time when all things are rejuvenated, and with my exercises, there will be a peculiar curative effect, but it seems that it is better to do your best and try to treat her before the first snow."
"Okay, why don't you go see her now." Zhang Shaodao.
"Okay." Liu Yi wore the new winter clothes made by the women and walked to the backyard.
Zhang Shao, Sima Ruyan and other women, they were the first to know that Liu Yi had intentions against Guo Jianiang.
Especially Zhang Shao, she and Guo Jianiang have been in Dongting for so long, and they have long become good sisters who talk to each other.
And Zhang Shao, she personally experienced Liu Yi's treatment process for the Zou family, and knew how Liu Yi was going to treat Guo Jianiang's illness. A woman who has a skin-to-skin relationship with a man is afraid that there is no better solution than to marry this man. Besides, Zhang Shao, as a person who has come over, is also very sympathetic to Guo Jia's mother's situation. She also hopes that Guo Jia's mother can accept Liu Yi, so that with Liu Yi as a man to rely on, she doesn't have to be so lonely in the second half of her life.
Liu Yi coaxed Guo Jia's mother to live at home, and Zhang Shao also knew that Liu Yi and Guo Jia's mother's good things were close. is also willing to promote this, so when she is usually with Guo Jianiang, she mostly tells Guo Jianiang about Liu Yi to increase Guo Jianiang's understanding of Liu Yi.
Du Niang came to the Zhenfeng Grain Mansion, at first, she was still not very used to it, almost all of them lived together, almost all of them were Liu Yi's women, I don't know why, when facing Liu Yi's women, she always felt a little strange in her heart. Especially when she thought that she would become Liu Yi's woman like these women in the future, she felt an invisible sense of pressure and shyness.
The matter between her and Liu Yi has been laid out, and in her heart, she can already accept such a thing. However, she is a woman after all, and when she really puts her body and mind on the man Liu Yi, she unconsciously has some feelings of gain and loss.
Without it, the main reason is that there are too many women in Liu Yi's family, and all of them are so good, younger and more beautiful than her, which is dazzling. It's good that she didn't put her mind on Liu Yi's heart, but now that she puts her mind on Liu Yi's heart, she can't help but feel less confident in herself, and she is worried about whether she is worthy of Liu Yi.
Oh, this woman is a bit cranky sometimes.
No, Du Niang was thinking nonsense again, and she didn't even seem to realize that Liu Yi had entered her room.
