Li Yi was sad in his heart, without any joy, and reluctantly said a few kind words. Jian Shuo knew that he had a lot of things to do after the war and was very busy, so he immediately congratulated him, congratulated him on his victory, and then took Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Liu and the three of them to find a place to rest.

"Zilong, when are they leaving?" Li Yi looked at the backs of the four of them as they gradually moved away, and asked in a low voice, "That surnamed Yuan is covered in blood, did he participate in the battle?" ”

"Jian Huangmen said that after announcing the decree to the eldest brother tomorrow, he will go back." Zhao Yun said, "Yuan Shao not only participated in the battle, but also almost died. He is a disciple of the gate valve, he has a very good reputation in Luoyang, I always thought that he was a vain person, and he was useless, but I didn't expect him to be heroic, brave and good at fighting, which is really impressive. ”

Li Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Yuan Shao's performance to be appreciated by Zhao Yun, and it seemed that he was really quite courageous. However, thinking that Yuan Shao was the best among the heroes in the late Han Dynasty after all, he was relieved and said: "Yuan Shao is an outstanding figure in Luoyang, and there are few in the capital, that is, Cao Mengde can suppress him." ”

Zhao Yun remembered Cao Cao's performance on the battlefield in Jizhou, and couldn't help nodding and said: "What the eldest brother said is very true, then Cao Mengde is indeed a rare hero, and this person will definitely be the eldest brother's biggest opponent in the court in the future." ”

Li Yi didn't expect Zhao Yun to have such insight, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why did Zilong say this?" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Nanyang Xu Zijiang once said that Cao Mengde is a capable minister who governs the world, a hero in troubled times, and now the chaos of the world has appeared, and Cao Mengde has also shown his ability, I think what Xu Zijiang said is probably about to come true." ”

Xu Zijiang is Xu Shao, this person Li Yi knows or knows, and he has heard that this person is very unkind to him, but this person is quite famous, especially the Yuedan commentary he hosts. No matter who it is, once it is questioned, it is worth a hundred times, and it is spread in the world, and it is thought to be beautiful. Because of its fame, it was very prosperous.

The Yuedan review itself was also ridiculed, and both Zuna and Wang Yin thought that it was too hasty to praise and disparage within a month. Mei Tao even said: "Yudan, private law also." Jiang Ji's "Theory of Ten Thousand Machines" Yun Xu Zijiang "was uneven, and he suppressed Xu Wenxiu by pulling out Fan Zizhao." The biography of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty is also known as Xu Shao, "and his brother Jing is not on good terms." There is little discussion about this". Zhuge Ke's "Book with Prime Minister Lu Xun": "Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Chinese scholars and doctors have been like Xu Zi's generals, so they are even more slanderous, or as for the disaster, it is not the original one, not for the great yun. However, self-denial cannot be done as courtesy, but the responsibility of others is to focus on justice. Ge Hong even believes that the "Yuedan Commentary" is a manifestation of forming a party for personal gain.

Li Yi has a similar opinion to these people, in his eyes, Xu Shao is similar to the so-called brick family beast in later generations. Purposefully touting some people, suppressing some people, and selling fame.

"Oh." Li Yi turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and suddenly asked. "Are you confident that you can win this battle this morning?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Except for you, a madman, who has confidence?" We won by luck. If it weren't for Yang Wu's defection, Gongsun Lei would have broken through. ”

Li Yi asked in surprise, "Gongsun Chen is here with the army?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Yun said, "When the scout comes to report. I'm crazy. ”

"Didn't I send someone to tell you about Yang Wu?" Li Yi said, "You probably think I'm talking nonsense, right? ”

"Of course, who knows if what Jin Yang said is true or not?" Zhao Yun sighed and said regretfully, "This time, Gongsun Xiao's army failed to quickly defeat Gongsun Han and counterattack Gongsun Chen, it's really a pity." ”

Li Yi shook his hand and said, "It's already a miracle that the battle can be fought like this, don't be too greedy." Gongsun Xiao hated Gongsun Han too much, and they were bent on eating him, but they couldn't do it quickly, but they were entangled by Gongsun Han. If this battle can be won, Gongsun Xiao and his soldiers should be the first to take the lead. ”

………………

Gongsun Xiao, Gongsun Luo, Gongsun Yang and Jin Yang and others were very excited to see Li Yi come to see them in person.

Li Yi took Gongsun Xiao's hand and said a few words of gratitude and appreciation, but Gongsun Xiao's words choked him up.

"When will the general attack Lelang County?"

Li Yi didn't know how to answer. He had no intention of continuing to pursue the rebels and attack Lelang County, nor did he have the idea of killing Gongsun Han.

Before meeting Jian Shuo, Yuan Shao and others, Li Yi did have the courage to go south to take Lelang County, and take advantage of the victory to pursue, annex Goguryeo, South Buyeo and other places, and include the entire Korean Peninsula and the northeast region into the territory of the Han Dynasty, expand the territory, and become the governor of the Han Dynasty's northern Xinjiang.

However, after meeting Yuan Shao and others, Li Yi's mind changed. He knew very well that once he really took the entire Liaodong, then what he would face next would be the entire Han Dynasty. Without it, this merit is too great, he is bound to become the target of everyone, and even the old boy of Emperor Han Ling may have to deal with him, although the old boy has the heart to expand the territory, but what he cares more about is probably Li Yigong's high shock. Coupled with the blind bibi rumors that some villains have accumulated in his ears for years, it is natural for the old boy to cut him.

And now Li Yi is not ready to turn his face with the Han Dynasty, whether it is psychological or military. Although he has more than 100,000 troops, a vast territory of millions of square kilometers, and a population of more than 4 million, this is not enough for him to confront the current Han Dynasty, not to mention the powerful Xianbei people in the north.

Li Yi knew very well that with the actions of those traitorous villains in the court, once he erected an anti-flag, those people would definitely collude with the Xianbei people and attack him on both sides.

Therefore, before the Xianbei people are completely defeated, at least the vitality of the Xianbei people is greatly damaged, and they are unable to make trouble with him anymore, it is definitely not a good time to unify Liaodong and expand the territory.

In Li Yi's plan, the march into Liaodong has always been just to attack the strength of the various ethnic groups in Liaodong, so that they will not be able to make trouble with themselves when they start a war with the Xianbei people. In this way, he can concentrate his strength, attack the Xianbei prairie, and destroy the Xianbei people.

Now, the Liaodong alien coalition army has been completely annihilated, and it is difficult to organize a large-scale army, and the Liaodong rebels are also completely injured and have no strength to fight them head-on.

The next thing he needs to do is to leave a general to guard Liaodong, and on the premise of ensuring the stability of Liaodong, he will take the method of encroaching on the remaining land and gradually taking the rest of Liaodong. The main force of the Youzhou Army is to return to the west, accumulate strength, and prepare to fight the Xianbei people.

In Li Yi's plan, it would take three to four years to completely defeat the Xianbei people, and by then it would have been 188 to 189 AD, when he was ready, and the external conditions were basically there.

At that time, if the Korean Peninsula and the Northeast region have not been completely taken, then they can go all out to attack the Northeast. Presumably by that time, the little old man of Emperor Ling of Han was already dead, and those villains in the court should have no heart to go against him, after all, Dong Fatzi had already entered Luoyang, and the butcher's knife had already hung over the heads of those traitorous villains. Maybe when the time comes, Li Yi will become the big savior that those traitors and villains are looking forward to day and night. Anyway, compared with Dong Fatzi, an unreasonable barbaric butcher, he is much more elegant, and no matter what, he is also from a clan of lords.

It's just that none of these plans can be told to outsiders, and Li Yi is a little annoyed.

While he was thinking about how to answer, Gongsun Yang also spoke.

"General, we can follow closely behind Gongsun Han, pursue while we are victorious, and take Lelang County in one go."

Li Yi pretended to smile and asked, "Attack immediately?" ”

Gongsun Luo said: "Yes. If it drags on, Gongsun Han may run to the Snow Mountain. Now, the weather is getting colder and colder, and once it snows, the transportation of grain and grass becomes a big problem. ”

Li Yi snorted and nodded again and again, looking quite agreeable.

"General, we have defeated Lelang County, and we have the final say in the area of Sanhan." Gongsun Mo said, "We will not allow any Han officials to set foot in Sanhan. ”

Gongsun Mo belongs to the rest of the people in Nanfuyu, he is Gongsun Yu's newly recruited subordinate after being sent to Lelang County by Li Yi, and it is the first time he has met Li Yi.

Li Yi's smile was a little abnormal.

"General." Gongsun Xiao broke away from Li Yi's hand holding him, bowed down and said, "Can the general give us the captured Xianbei and Wuhuan captives?" ”

"Of course." Li Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can go and receive the captives right away, but ......"

Li Yi paused, looked at a few people and said, "No one is allowed to kill." ”

"The remains of the general, Gongsun Lei and other Hu clan leaders, can we send them back to Saiwai?" Jin Yang hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice.

Li Yi didn't say anything for a long time, he originally wanted to send Gongsun Lei and a group of small and small Qu Shuai's heads to Luoyang to receive the reward. When he saw the expectant and pleading eyes of Gongsun Xiao and the others, his heart softened, and he said, "Okay, you can send someone to fetch it." ”

Gongsun Xiao and Gongsun Luo were moved to kneel down and kowtow to Li Yi.

Jin Yang asked Li Yi again when he would set out to attack Lelang County and Xuansu County.

"The war has just ended, and we still have a lot of things to do to deal with the aftermath, and if we rush to pursue it, it may lead to accidents. You have nearly 10,000 losses in the process of attacking Gongsun Han, and the soldiers are very tired, so I think it is better to rest for a few days? ”

Gongsun Xiao muttered in a low voice: "Does the general not want to fight anymore?" ”

Li Yi said with a smile, "Of course we have to fight." Think about it, if we are well prepared and more than 100,000 troops rush forward, will our losses be a little smaller, and our certainty will be a little greater? At that time, if his grandson Han has great ability, he will also be defeated. Wait, okay? (To be continued.) )
