Chapter 1022 - A Special Way to Welcome Relatives

Li Yi looked at the girl in some surprise, although it was only the first time she saw her, but she looked like she was talking to herself, as if she was an old husband and wife. The pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info has a very big tone, but because of his age and focus, he sees that he is cute and not annoying, at least Li Yi thinks so.

Although Huang Yueying is now over eighteen years old and twenty years old, in Li Yi's opinion, she is just a little girl. After all, he was forty years old, and he was still a human being.

Therefore, Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Go slowly, don't send it, have a good dream." ”

The girl's footsteps stopped, turned her head to look at Li Yi, and finally showed surprise and surprise in her eyes.

However, the girl's eyes flickered, these emotions disappeared instantly, and a hint of cunning flashed on the pretty face shrouded in blonde hair, and the girl raised a finger and smiled coquettishly: "Don't think that you can marry me like this." Before I came, my father promised me, whether he came or not, he said it, whether he married or not, I said. If you want to marry me, you must at least meet my conditions. ”

Li Yi's heart moved slightly, and asked, "What conditions?" ”

The girl smiled and said: "The other conditions, even if you meet them, only the last item is left, it is very simple, when you come to greet your relatives, I don't sit in a sedan chair, I don't ride a horse, and I don't take a boat." If you can pick me up, even if you pass the test, if not, you'll still dispel this idea, hehe. ”

With that, the girl turned and ran away, and her figure quickly disappeared into the flowers and trees, only the blonde hair danced among the grass and trees, like a golden butterfly flying and circling.

Such an independent and special girl, even in the modern era where Li Yi lived in the previous life, is rare, let alone in the late Eastern Han Dynasty 1,800 years ago. Everyone watched and listened, and they were all stunned.

For a long time, Tai Shici, who was known as talking without brains, muttered: "One doesn't sit in a sedan chair, two doesn't ride a horse, and three doesn't take a boat, so what else can you do?" Isn't it walking hand in hand against the wall? What a weird girl......"

Everyone laughed, Li Yi smiled particularly meaningfully, and said: "Extraordinary people, always do extraordinary things, Ziyi, you wait and see." ”

After a pause, Li Yi smiled again: "Don't care about that girl for now, please sit down...... Now our army has successfully obtained most of the counties in the north of Jingzhou, and only one big city in Jiangling and a few other small cities are left north of the entire river. What do you think of our army's next move? ”

Xu Maogong first said: "My lord, the counties in the north of Jingzhou are dependent, but these places are controlled by the Shi clan, and they are not very stable. ”

Li Yi nodded, this kind of thing is inevitable, after all, the foundation of the gate lord clan in Jingzhou is too deep, and now that Jingzhou is decided, Li Yi doesn't know how to deal with it, so he asked: "Then from the perspective of the military division, what should we do?" ”

"This ......," Xu Maogong glanced at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Lord, the Huang family is a big family in Jingzhou, and they have this inextricable relationship with the rest of the big families in Jingzhou. If they win the support of the Jingzhou Shi clan, they will not fully support Liu Biao, and they will be able to reduce their losses in the future wars......"

"Marrying Huang Yueying, now?" Li Yi said dumbly.

Jia Xu was very embarrassed, after all, Miss Huang had just put forward a very harsh condition, and he didn't know how to achieve it, so the lord must be very embarrassed now.

However, Jia Xu thought about it, as a traveler in later generations, the conditions proposed by Huang Yueying were not a problem for Li Yi at all. What he is embarrassed about now is that he and Huang Yueying know each other, and it is not easy for such a capable and independent girl to conquer her. Li Yi didn't want his woman to marry him under pressure, although he accepted a place, the most effective way to stabilize the place was to marry with the local clan. For example, Liu Bei in another time and space, he married the Mi family when he was in Xuzhou, and immediately married the sister of Wu Yi, the general of Shuzhong, after entering Shu.

In fact, this set is not a small one. In order to ease the relationship with the royal family, he married the eldest princess Liu Jing; In order to encircle the scholars of Jizhou and Bingzhou, and stabilize these two states as soon as possible, he married Zhen Tuo and Diao Chan respectively; Two years ago, in order to win over the Jianghuai clan and the Xiliang Hao clan, he married a foot trainer, Xiao Qiao and Ma Yunluo.

Li Yi sighed, anyway, he didn't do such a thing once or twice, so why be hypocritical, so he said: "Okay, in order to be able to appease the northern part of Jingzhou as soon as possible, my father will reluctantly make it difficult and marry Miss Yueying as soon as possible." ”

The strategists and generals glanced at each other, got up and bowed: "The lord is for the stability of the place and understands the righteousness, I admire it. ”

………………

Sure enough, after the news spread, the big clans in the northern counties of Jingzhou were overjoyed, and said that the Tang Gong took Miss Huang Family, which was a recognition of our Jingzhou clan, so they sent messengers one after another to send congratulatory gifts.

And Cai Mao was overjoyed, and was able to marry Li Yi, and the Huang family and the Cai family will be more prominent from now on. He immediately began to urge Huang Chengyan to prepare for the marriage with all his might, and of course, he himself gave a generous gift, preparing fifty cars for the dowry alone.

………………

In the ninth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (204 AD), the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.

The whole city of Xiangyang is lit up with lights, gongs and drums are noisy, and firecrackers are ringing in unison.

What surprised the people of Xiangyang City the most was that at dusk, a behemoth appeared in the sky, and their beloved Tang Gong and general Li Yi actually stood under the behemoth, floated through the air, and went straight to the Huang family's mansion in Xiangyang City.

If there is a person in the future generations in Xiangyang City, he will definitely recognize what the behemoth floating in the sky is, in fact, it is just a hot air balloon.

The hot air balloon made by Li Yi is made of a stand made of slender wooden strips on the inside and covered with cowhide on the outside.

Because the buoyancy generated by this crude hot air balloon is limited and can only carry two people, only Li Yi is on top of the hot air balloon, and the rest of the people who greet relatives are all on the ground following Li Yi's hot air balloon to Huangfu.

At the same time, the conditions for marrying her proposed by Miss Huang were also widely spread among the people, and while everyone admired the general's ingenuity, they were also moved by the general's love for his wife.

After all, with Li Yi's current power, he can completely ignore the unreliable conditions that Huang Yueying proposed at the beginning and forcibly marry him into the family.

However, the general did not do this, and he managed to fulfill the conditions that seemed to people to be completely impossible, and married the eldest lady of the Huang family into the family.

For a time, Xiangyang City didn't know how many young girls in Huaichun were envious and couldn't sleep alone.

In the middle of the night, Li Yi returned to the new house, lifted the hijab, and saw the child's face chest, and couldn't put it down. The big one is strong, and the small one is slim. However, there is a disproportionate amount of things, trembling and lingering.

Jiao's voice came from inside the bed curtain: "Husband, why do you keep catching here." When I came, one of the aunts of the clan told me that the round house was for that...... You don't even know this? ”

"Really? After a while, the husband will let you know whether the husband knows or not. Li Yi laughed evilly, and then heard Huang Yueying cry out in pain, and then, the sound that made people blush sounded in the new room, and it continued until the dawn of the day did not stop.

Of course, the fun in the boudoir is not for outsiders, it is just a little secret of Li Yi and Huang Yueying.

Li Yi married Huang Yueying, and while holding the beauty, he also conveyed friendship to the entire Jingzhou clan. As a result, the clans of the northern counties of Jingzhou were relieved, and the place was much more stable.

………………

When Li Yi was letting Huang Yueying enjoy the joy of being married, there was a thing that made him not very happy from the shadow group in Yizhou, that is, the envoy sent by Liu Biao to Yizhou, Yi Yuan, had already moved Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to raise an army of 300,000 in Yizhou and come to Jingzhou.

This force is enough to turn the situation around, after all, Liu Biao has already had an army of 200,000 after all-out expansion. Now that Liu Bei once again led 300,000 horses to Jingzhou, which meant that he would face 500,000 enemy troops, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked: "Several military divisions, Yizhou and Jingzhou are both rich places, with countless money and food, enough to support their army to fight for a long time, how is this good?" ”

Liu Bowen pondered for a while and said: "Lord, Jiangling City is lenient and dangerous, enough for 100,000 troops to be stationed, and Liu Biao has been in Jingzhou for many years, and he also has enough money and food. If the two armies are combined, it will be difficult for our army to conquer them. Therefore, Liu Bei and Liu Biao should not be allowed to converge. ”

Xu Maogong also said: "Now that Liu Bei's army has left Yong'an, Ba County, he will definitely go to Jiangling before Yiling." The lord led the army and went to Yiling to meet Liu Bei. In the field, they cannot be the opponent of our army. ”

Yong'an is the choke point from Yizhou to Jingzhou, and Yiling is also the only way to enter Jiangling. If Liu Bei led the army to Jiangling, Jiangling City would have 400,000 defenders. A tall city with 400,000 soldiers and horses, plenty of food and grass, and some of the best generals and strategists. To attack such a fortified city, in the era of cold weapons, there is nothing more terrible than this.

Although Li Yi has no strong enemies now, his foundation is far away in the north, and the territory of several states in the Central Plains is still in a short period of time. Therefore, almost all of the military rations of the Northern Xinjiang Army were transported from Jizhou, Bingzhou and Liaodong in the north. The consumption of thousands of miles to Jingzhou is too great, which dooms him to not be able to confront Liu Bei and others in Jingzhou for a long time.

Therefore, the field battle, which is easier to destroy the enemy, became his only option.

Li Yi adopted the suggestions of several military divisions, and he ordered Guan Yu to be the main general, Guo Jia and Xun You to be the military divisions, and together with Wei Yan and Zhang He, he led the Second Infantry Army, the Twelfth Army and the Second Cavalry Army, a total of more than 80,000 troops, to attack Jiangling.

In addition, Li Yi left Chang Yuchun's Fifth Infantry Corps to lead Jingzhou to protect Xiangyang.

And he himself took Xu Maogong, Liu Bowen and Jia Xu as military advisors, together with Tai Shici, Xu Huang, Xie Xuan, Gao Changgong, Lu Bu, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Wenlong and other generals, led an army of 180,000 to Yiling to meet Liu Bei.
