When Guan Yu saw Li Qi, he quickly put down the scroll, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Li Yizhou hasn't rested yet."

Li Qi smiled and looked at Guan Yu under the oil lamp. He couldn't help but think of a couplet from later generations: With a red face and a red heart, riding a red rabbit to chase the wind. When galloping, don't forget the Red Emperor. Watch the history of the Qing Dynasty with a green lantern, fight against the green dragon and face the moon.

A small place, worthy of the blue sky.

In those later generations who were accustomed to subverting historical figures to show that they were different, people said that Guan Yu's biggest shortcoming was his madness, which led to the loss of Jingzhou in the end. But they didn't know that Guan Yu was unparalleled in his loyalty and courage, and his unparalleled capital. He was originally qualified to be proud.

of.

Think about it, Guan Yu is actually just a partial force of Liu Bei. The generals at his disposal are no more than Guan Ping and Liao Hua, but they are able to surrender, capture Pang De, fight Xu Huang, trap Cao Ren, and advance all the way to Xudu.

, was so frightened that Cao Cao almost wanted to move the capital. If Sun Quan hadn't stabbed Mi Fang and Fu Shiren in the back, and Liu Feng and Meng Da had refused to save him, it's still unclear who would be the winner in the end.

Therefore, since ancient times, the term "powerful China" was originally used to describe Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu can be used sincerely for his own use, Li Qi will naturally be happy, but now it feels a bit difficult - Guan Yu stays here just to capture Cao Cao and take revenge.

So Li Qi planned to play hard to get for Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang, I'm very sorry about Liu Shijun's matter. In the end, I couldn't help." Li Qi said.

"Hey." Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Liu Bei, and then he clasped his fists at Li Qi and said, "Li Yizhou is out of sight. Is Guan a ignorant person?"

Li Qidao: "I know that Yunchang, Liu Shijun, and Zhang Yide are sworn friends in Taoyuan, and their love is stronger than gold. It can be shaken by ordinary things. Now that Liu Shijun is gone, and the Cao thieves are powerful, they cannot retaliate in a short time."

I’m avenged. I wonder what Yun Chang has planned next?”

"This..." Guan Yu hesitated.

Li Qi exchanged Xiahou Dun for Guan Yu. Guan Yu had already killed Xiahou Dun and repaid Li Qi's kindness.

Now he just wants to capture Cao Cao and take revenge.

Li Qi suddenly asked about his future plans. To be honest, Guan Yu really hadn't thought about it in detail.

Just as Li Qi said, Cao Cao could not be destroyed in a day or two. He had been living here for a long time, and after all, he was a bit nondescript.

Self-reliance?

Now that we have no soldiers and horses, and no food and grass, what can we do to attack the city and seize the territory?

Besides, what is your background?

Li Qi, a bandit, had somehow assumed the identity of a descendant of the Li family in Yizhou. He was so reckless, how could he stand on his own feet?

Even if Li Qi is generous and willing to lend troops and food, he has successfully become independent based on his past reputation, but in the end when he faces the fight with Li Qi, where will he go?

Guan Yu was very conflicted. He would have preferred that he was the one who died on the banks of the Feishui River.

Seeing Guan Yu's expression of embarrassment, Li Qi said: "I regard Yun Chang and Yide as my friends. If you have any needs, you can ask them and I will try my best to satisfy you. Otherwise... or I will row for you in Yizhou."

With a piece of land, you can retire to the countryside and become a rich man?"

Guan Yu was shocked.

I thought that I had a certain skill in life, and it happened to be in troubled times. It was a great opportunity to make achievements and make a name for myself. I never thought about living in poverty.

But when I think about it, it seems that all my paths have been blocked.

The only feasible option is to take refuge under Li Qi's command.

In this way, there is still a chance to make great achievements, to be famous, and to capture and kill Cao Cao with his own hands.

"I heard that my third brother has surrendered to Li Yizhou's command in Xinye City and went to attack Wancheng with General Li Yan?" Guan Yu asked.

He heard this news from some soldiers in the army, but it has not yet been confirmed.

Li Qi smiled and said: "Yide's outspokenness was deceived by Li Zhengfang and Fa Xiaozhi, and it cannot be true. You can choose again at any time."

Guan Yu said: "How decent is that?"

Zhang Fei has obviously surrendered to Li Qi's command, but as soon as I sent someone over to discuss it, I said goodbye to Li Qi. Isn't that funny? How will the world and future generations see my two brothers?

Li Qi said nothing, and Guan Yu silently walked outside the tent, looking at the full moon in the sky.

It was very quiet at night. Except for the patrolling soldiers, all the other soldiers were fast asleep. The crackling light of the bonfire and the flags waving in the night wind seemed very harsh at this moment.

Guan Yu suddenly turned around and asked Li Qidao: "Is Li Yizhou really willing to help the Han Dynasty?"

Li Qi: "..."

This is the biggest obstacle for Li Qi to completely conquer Guan Yu.

Guan Yu was loyal to Liu Bei, and of course there was a sense of brotherhood in it, but Liu Bei was the emperor's uncle personally recognized by Liu Xie, the emperor of the day, and he was under the banner of helping the Han Dynasty. To a certain extent, supporting Liu Bei was also helping the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Guan Yu back then

We agreed on three things with Cao Cao outside Xuzhou City, one of which was "Submit to the Han but not to Cao." This means that whether I follow Liu Bei or Cao Cao, I will always be loyal to the Han.

If you, Li Qi, are also supporting the Han Dynasty, then I can follow you.

If Li Qi replied to Guan Yu: Yes, I am the one who helped the Han Dynasty. Then, if Cao Cao becomes king in the future, should he follow suit? After conquering Xudu and welcoming back the emperor, should he return the military and political power to the emperor?

Li Qi is different from Liu Bei. Liu Bei's surname is Liu, so he can be king. Li Qi is not Liu, so he is the V2.0 version of Cao Cao. As for returning military and political power to today's emperor, that is even more difficult.

.

Li Qi disdains lies like Kuang Fu Han's room that will be exposed sooner or later.

Li Qidao: "Although Qi is not talented, he is only willing to do justice to the world and save all people from disaster. End the war as soon as possible so that the people can resume production and live and work in peace and contentment."

——It doesn’t matter whether I save the Han Dynasty or not. What I want to save is the millions of people in the world. There is no conflict between the two.

Li Qi still has the confidence to say this.

After he first took over Yizhou, he tried his best to improve people's livelihood. Through many measures such as introducing early rice, promoting production and commercial circulation, the life of Yizhou people was greatly improved. This was to enhance his own strength, and the second was to serve as a case.

, absorbing the hearts and minds of other states and counties.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Qi was able to successfully occupy Jingzhou and Liangzhou, and very few mobs rebelled in the two states. In fact, to a large extent, the people saw the development of Yizhou and benefited from it.

The living conditions of the people of the state are regarded as the vision.

This is fundamentally different from those princes who only talk about it.

Guan Yu was proud of his superiors but pitiful of his subordinates. He still had pity for the weak people. But his belief was more focused on helping the Han Dynasty.

So Li Qi's answer made Guan Yu a little disappointed, but also a little curious.

I am curious about the living conditions of the people under Li Qi's rule and whether they are really worthy of help.

Guan Yu said: "Since Uncle Liu Huang was killed at the hands of Cao Cao, Guan has been in a state of confusion. There are some things that should not be decided hastily. I hope Li Yizhou can forgive me."

Li Qidao: "I completely understand Yunchang's state of mind. It's better to go out for a walk and relax. Don't trap yourself in this camp. This will not help Yunchang make a more ideal life plan."

Guan Yu said: "What Li Yizhou said is absolutely true. Wait until Guan Xiang helps Li Yizhou capture Tongguan, repay Li Yizhou for saving him, and then take a look around."

Li Qi nodded and advised Guan Yu: "The oil lamp is dim and staying up late reading for a long time is not good for your eyes. Yunchang, please rest early."

The moonlight in the night sky of Gangneung is a little worse than that of Mount Taihua.

Clusters of black clouds swam across the sky, blocking the moonlight from time to time, causing the mountains and trees outside Jiangling City to flicker.

Liao Hua led a team of two thousand people out of the city at night and headed straight for the Public Security City.

The Jiangdong spies lurking outside Jiangling City secretly thought: Just as Governor Lu expected, the purpose of clearing out the hidden outposts on the outskirts of Jiangling City was to quietly send troops to support the public security.

So the Jiangdong spy reported back on Pegasus.

Because the spies were all traveling alone, they would certainly be able to run much faster than an army of 2,000 people.

Therefore, Lu Su quickly got the news.

After Lu Su learned this information, he asked the spy: "How are the equipment of the two thousand men and horses?"

The spy said: "It is very different from the usual Jingzhou soldiers. There are very few soldiers with armor, and the styles of clothing and weapons are not uniform. They should be the private soldiers of the Ma family who entered Jiangling City before."

Lu Su frowned and glanced at the spy, because as a spy, you only need to truthfully report what you saw to your superiors, and you cannot make subjective assumptions. These are left to the superiors to analyze.

After analysis, Lu Su believed that the troops led by Liao Hua should be the private soldiers of the Ma family who had entered Jiangling City before.

And judging from their armor and attire, Jiangling City must have really been hollowed out.

Therefore, Lu Su ordered Xu Sheng and Ding Feng to lead 10,000 troops, rush to Jiangling City overnight, and launch a strong attack on Jiangling City before Jia Xu could react.

To attack an almost empty city of Jiangling with 10,000 elite troops, what is important is a quick victory.

As long as Jiangling City is captured, the police will be defeated without attacking.

At that time, we will unite with the garrison of Yuzhang County to launch an attack on the four counties of Jingnan, and the southern part of Jingzhou can be attacked in an instant.

As for whether to go north to further capture Jingzhou after taking the southern part of Jingzhou, or to take advantage of the situation to force Shi Xie from Jiaozhou, it all depends on Sun Quan's choice.

If we can force Shi Xie to surrender, borrow a road from Jiaozhou, and go straight to Zoke County in Yizhou, even Yizhou can be easily captured.

Okay, Lu Su admitted that he thought too far, but who made him good at this kind of long-term planning?

Taking Jingzhou, occupying Yizhou, and realizing the division of power between the north and the south was the lifelong dream of Lu Su and Zhou Yu.

Now that his dream is about to come true, can Lu Su not be excited?

When Lu Su got excited, he couldn't stop coughing, and the phlegm on the silk handkerchief was covered with bloodshot eyes.

"Hold on! Don't fall before dawn." Lu Su encouraged himself.

But Xu Sheng and Ding Feng led their troops to Jiangling City overnight, and the sky was already slightly bright.
