"Abominable Li Yan!! I will tear you to pieces!! Lu Bu roared with red eyes.

Lu Su, Tian Feng, Xun Yu, Xun Yu and several other strategists who handled the official documents in the mansion of Lu Bu's hussar general, after hearing Lu Bu's roar, hurriedly put down the official documents and things in their hands and hurried over.

"My lord, what the hell is going on?" Seeing the case that was broken into a pile of wooden blocks, and Lu Bu's murderous appearance now, only Tian Feng, who was the oldest in qualifications, dared to come forward to ask, and Lu Su, Xun Yu and others, who did not know all about Lu Bu's spleen and surname, stood silently in the distance and waited for Lu Bu's answer.

"Alas, let's talk in a different place, go to my study and talk in detail." Lu Bu casually dropped the Jin Chen Sword in his hand, sighed lightly, and walked to the study with his hands behind his back.

After Lu Bu waited for everyone to sit down, he handed over Yuan Shu's copy.

"This, how is this possible? Is this still the same Yuan Shu Yuan Highway? The position of the third duke, that is the greatest glory of their Yuan family! As long as you can get the position of the third duke, the Yuan family will be the third duke of the fifth world! How could this Yuan Shu refuse this temptation? How could the Yuan clan behind him resist this temptation? Tian Feng looked at the text in his hand and shouted in disbelief.

used the position of the third prince as a bargaining chip to win over Yuan Shu this time, but Tian Feng proposed it. This is mostly because the Luoyang official system has begun to implement the system of three provinces and six ministries, and the old three princes and nine ministers or something are already just things that exist in name only. Using these useless things to win over Yuan Shu can greatly increase the possibility of forming an alliance, so when Tian Feng saw the inscription in his hand, he would be so out of shape.

When Lu Su heard Tian Feng's words, his face turned pale suddenly, and when he saw Tian Feng muttering and dropping the text in his hand, Lu Su hurriedly picked up the text from the ground and watched it carefully.

"Hiss~~" Lu Su gasped!

"Does the lord know who is giving advice to Yuan Shu?" Lu Su came from Huainan, how could he not know who Yuan Shu was? So Lu Su's first sentence was to ask Lu Bu who was behind the scenes to give advice to Yuan Shu.

"The 'Jinyi Battalion' has already found out that the person who gave advice to Yuan Shu is Li Yan! Nanyang Li Yan. Unexpectedly, Zijing's good plan was bad in his hands! Hey," Lu Bu sighed hatefully.

"Li Yan? Is it Li Fangzheng? When my subordinates were in Yingchuan Academy, Li Yan once came to visit my uncle in Yingchuan Academy, and according to what my uncle talked about this Li Yan afterwards, he said that he was a rare genius in the world today! And it is said that he still has a good set of family heirloom martial arts in his hands, and he doesn't know who his ancestor Li Yan is. Xun Yu recalled that his uncle Xun Shuang had said to himself that if you really want to talk about this Li Yan's talent, it is not even inferior to herself, and this sentence has not been forgotten in Xun Yu's heart.

Lu Bu took a deep breath, he thought he knew better about Li Yan than everyone present.

Li Yanzi is square, a native of Nanyang. Less for the county officials, known for their talents, in the early years of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao under the command.

When Cao Yingnan conquered Jingzhou, Li Yan served as the county commander of Zigui at that time, so he went into exile in Shu and put himself under the command of Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou, and was appointed as the county commander of Chengdu. In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei defeated the army sent by Liu Zhang to block the attack in Fucheng, and marched to Mianzhu Pass.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan defected in front of the battle, led the crowd to surrender, and was worshiped by Liu Bei as a general. After Liu Bei captured Yizhou, Li Yan was appointed as the general of Qianwei Taishou and Xingye. Previously, Yizhou's law and discipline were lax, morality and politics were not raised, and punishment was not suppressed. Liu Bei then ordered the general Zhuge Liang, the Shu county Tai Shou Fazheng, the Zhaowen general Yi, the left general Xi Cao Peng, Liu Ba and Li Yan to formulate the "Shu Branch", which later became the basis of the legal system of Shu Han.

In the twenty-third year of Jian'an, in 218, Liu Bei led a large army to fight in Hanzhong, and the thieves Ma Qin and Gao Sheng in Shuzhong gathered tens of thousands of people to rebel and capture Zizhong County. At that time, most of the troops and civilians in Shuzhong went to support the front line in Hanzhong, and Li Yan was unable to mobilize troops from other places, so he only led 5,000 soldiers of Qianwei County to crusade against the rebellion and successfully eliminated the rebels. Soon after, Gao Ding, the commander of Yueshan County, led an army to besiege Xindao County, and Li Yan went to relieve the siege, but Gao Ding was defeated and fled. Liu Bei then crowned Li Yan as the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty, and led the county as before.

In 222 in the second year of Zhang Wu, the first lord Liu Bei summoned Li Yan to Yong'an Palace, worshiped him as Shang Shuling, and assisted Prime Minister Zhuge Liang in handling national affairs.

In 223 years of the third year of Zhang Wu, before Liu Bei's death, he ordered Li Yan and Zhuge Liang to be bequeathed together to assist the young master, and appointed Li Yan as the protector of the central capital, unified the internal and external military, and stayed in Yong'an, second only to Zhuge Liang.

In 223 in the first year of Jianxing, Li Yan was awarded the title of Marquis of the capital, and he was given the title of Guangluxun. Previously, Nanzhong's surname Yonghong was in rebellion in Yizhou County, and Li Yan wrote a six-piece letter to Yonghong, telling him about the benefits, but Yonghong didn't listen, and still instigated the rebellion in Nanzhong, and Zhuge Liang had to lead the army to pacify Nanzhong.

In 226, the fourth year of Jianxing, Li Yan became a former general. Because Zhuge Liang led the army into Hanzhong, Li Yan was entrusted with the management of rear affairs, so he moved to Jiangzhou, leaving the escort Chen to be stationed in Yong'an, and the military and political affairs of Jiangzhou, Yong'an and other places belonged to Li Yan.

At that time, Li Yan wrote a letter to the former rebel general, Cao Wei Xincheng Taishou Meng Da, persuading him to fight back and return to Shu Han. Zhuge Liang later wrote a letter to Meng Da, in which he said: "Part of it is like a stream, tending to be sluggish, and the surname of the square is also." ”

It can be seen that Li Yan's talent was still valued by Zhuge Liang at that time. However, Li Yan's surname was lonely and arrogant, and it was difficult to get along with others, and during the period of Ren Qianwei, he had a dispute with Yang Hong, a county gong who was opposed, because of the relocation of the county magistrate's residence, and Yang Hong took the initiative to resign and retire in a fit of anger. After the governor of Jiangzhou, he had a friction with his subordinate Yamen general Wang Chong, who knew that he was hated by Li Yan and defected to Wei for fear of being framed for it. Li Yan thinks very highly of himself, and the age and status of the Protector Auxiliary Kuang are about the same as Li Yan, but Li Yan is unwilling to take the initiative to associate with them.

In the end, Li Yan delayed the grain and grass of the army, which affected Zhuge Liang's Fourth Northern Expedition, and Zhuge Liang was angry and demoted Li Yan to a commoner! When the news of Zhuge Liang's death was reported back to Shu, Li Yan felt that Zhuge Liang's successor might not be able to regain his position and use his talents, and finally died depressed on the sickbed.

This kind of civil and military character is under the command of Yuan Shu. Moreover, according to the guards of the 'Jinyi Battalion' who were sent to Yuan Shu's side to investigate Yuan Shu's confidential information, this Li Yan seemed to have a deep hatred with Lu Bu himself, and obviously he didn't expect to recruit him. Thinking of this, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a murderous aura slowly emanated.

"My lord, now that our army's Tiger Pass has fallen into the hands of Cao Ying, it is obviously impossible to form an alliance with Cao Ying, and Yuan Shao is the initiator of this crusade alliance, and there is nothing to be done along the way. Chang'an was captured by our army Hangu Pass, even if we don't fight back for the time being, when our army fights with the rest of the princes, I can't pity Li Xun and Guo Yan at all, they don't want to seize Hangu Pass in order to advance Luoyang and get a piece of the pie. These three roads can't win over the alliance no matter what, and now Yuan Shu has made this article along the way, if our army doesn't make a contingency as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the siege on all sides will be completed! Lu Su touched his short beard and said with a very worried face.

Tian Feng frowned and said: "Cao Ying's Yanzhou has suffered a locust plague this year, according to those farmers who fled from Yanzhou to Sizhou, many fertile fields were gnawed by those locusts, and many hungry homeless people caught some locust corpses by mistake and swallowed them, but many dying homeless people got a glimmer of life. In this way, it seems that Cao Ying's Yanzhou has not only lost a large number of people, but this year's harvest is afraid that there will only be one in ten!

In addition, Cao Ying also recruited hundreds of thousands of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army this year, and selected elites from them to form more than 100,000 'Qingzhou Army'. There is absolutely no way that his food and grass will last until this winter. As long as we stick to Huguan, Wuguan and Hangu Pass, Cao Ying will never dare to get out of the Tiger Prison Pass all the way. And as long as we drag it out until this winter, Yanzhou Cao Ying will inevitably have to return to Yanzhou because of lack of food, and then the supply Tiger Prison Pass will return to the hands of our army, and even Yanzhou can take advantage of the situation! ”

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "If Nanyang Yuan Shu refuses to form an alliance with us, Wuguan will inevitably be attacked by his Nanyang army!" The reason why the Southern Route Army was able to temporarily hold back Yuan Shu's army was because Yuan Shu's army and food dispatch were not ready, once Yuan Shu transferred enough grain and grass from Huainan for his army to go out, in the face of Yuan Shu's frontal attack, it was impossible to stop Yuan Shu with tens of thousands of cavalry alone.

Although most of Yuan Shu's subordinates are rabble, Yuan Shu's foundation is in the south and has the full support of the Yuan clan, and those soldiers under his command are only afraid of no less than 200,000! In the south, except for Liu Biao in Jingzhou, who can compete with Yuan Shu, no one in the rest of the princes can resist Yuan Shu. So even if he left tens of thousands of people to guard the city, he would be able to mobilize at least 200,000 troops to attack Wuguan!

Although Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, since Emperor Ling took control of the government, the annual routine construction of Wuguan has been stopped. Wuguan has been in disrepair for a long time, how can it stop Yuan Shu's 200,000 army for several months? ”

Lu Bu raised his right hand and stopped Tian Feng and the others from discussing: "In the final analysis, we still have to solve Yuan Shu's way, if we can't form an alliance with Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's Nanyang army will inevitably disrupt our army's deployment and plans." And we all know who Yuan Shu is, and the reason why he was able to refuse our army's request for an alliance was nothing more than that Li Yan said something to Yuan Shu that made him even more tempting. Think about it carefully, apart from Luoyang City and the emperor in the city, what else can this Li Yan use to be worthy of the position of the three dukes we promised?

Hum! If you want to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, it is nothing more than to exchange it for a greater price than Luoyang City. And before that, we have a big problem that must be eliminated first! ”
