Chapter 182 Xuzhou
?
Li Zhe nodded and said, "Put it out, go to Yan Yan's mansion, I'll visit it myself."
When he arrived at the gate of Yan's mansion, the butler of Yan's mansion saw that the formation was too big and had no time to notify Yan Yan. Li Zhe went straight into the gate of the mansion and followed the officials.
When he arrived in the yard, Li Zhe happened to see Yan Yan practicing martial arts in the yard with a big knife. In Li Zhe's opinion, this knife was similar to Guan Yu's big knife, at least 70 kilograms. It shook in his hand and whirred.
Li Zhe smiled and said, "General Yan is good at kung fu."
After Yan Yan heard this, he looked at the door of the yard and saw a young but noble person appear. Then, all officials followed Li Zhe into the yard.
Yan Yan ignored Li Zhe and said, "Uninvited guests, please go back."
Li Zhe said: "I heard that the general is sick. After hearing that, I was extremely anxious. I came to visit him. It seems that the general is very strong, so I, Li Zhe, feel relieved. Well, I won't disturb General Yan's cultivation."
Yan Yan didn't expect that this person was Li Zhe. He thought that this person was sent by Li Zhe, and he never expected that Li Zhe would come to visit him in person.
The lord who cares so much about his ministers is officially what Yan Yan is looking forward to. Yan Yan feels that his words just now are very disrespectful to Li Zhe. Li Zhe is the King of Chu who occupies the four continents and can tolerate such words. This person's desire to cherish talents is obvious.
Li Zhe said: "General Yan, if you have time, please come to the door to get together. I will wait for the general in person."
Li Zhe turned around and said, "Everyone withdraws from Yan's mansion, let's all scatter. I'll just wait at the gate of Yan's mansion alone. Don't forget your own affairs."
After Li Zhe said that, all the ministers dispersed. Li Zhe was about to walk out of the yard.
Yan Yan turned his head and said, "King of Chu, please wait. Since you are here to visit, sit for a while."
When Li Zhe heard this, his joy rose, and then turned around and entered the study with Yan Yan.
Yan Yan sat down and said, "The King of Chu is powerful and the only one in the south. Why is he servile to the old man?"
Li Zhe smiled and said, "I can't talk around. Do you know what it means to be respectful to the wise and the thirsty? The generals and important officials in my tent know what I am."
"What is a person"
Li Zhe said: "My character is to value talent. Under my tent, Taishi Ci from Jiangdong, Lu Meng, Zhou Yu, Gan Ning from Jingchu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Yan Liang Wenchou from Jizhou, Ji Ling from Yuzhou, Huang Zhong from Changsha, etc., I will give you the power as much as you are."
Yan Yan said: "I am an old man, not like an official."
As everyone knows, among the generals of Yizhou, only the old general Yan Yan is so powerful that he spread throughout China. With you here, the people will feel at ease. Besides, your age is similar to that of Huang Zhong in Changsha. Can you say that you don’t want to be an official anymore?
Besides, the veteran General Huang Zhong once repeatedly persuaded you to fight one-on-one with you and distinguish between the superiority and inferiority? Huang Zhong is a powerful general who despises everything. The person who can make him want to challenge must be a hero.
Yan Yan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Huang Zhong, a hero, I admire him very much. If you can beat Huang Zhong, it would be a great pleasure in life."
Li Zhe said: "Maybe you still have a lot of prejudice against me, because why I attacked Xichuan?"
Today, Cao Cao took the emperor to order the princes, and the day to unify the north is ready. The land of Xichuan is rich, and money and grain can provide the expenses of a large army of 300,000. Moreover, in the troubled times, Liu Zhang was mediocre and had no ambitions. Sooner or later, this land of Xichuan will be swallowed by others. But I will attack first, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others also want to attack, but the time is not ripe.
Since the beginning of the Yellow Turbans, there has never been a war in the world. Who is suffering? It is not the people, and the people are displaced and hungry and have no choice but to eat. I started my business when I was sheltering refugees. Later I found out that sheltering was not an effective measure, so I wanted to quickly solve the suffering people.
How can it be considered effective? In this time of war, you can only stand and stop fighting. There is no other way.
Look at the people in Jingchu who have no worries about food and clothing over the years, and have a lot of livelihood. Why is this because the people see hope and the future.
If you want their future to be destroyed, the people need people like you to defend the people. I invite General Yan to come out this time, not because I invite you, but on behalf of the people of Yizhou, I ask you to protect the country and the people.
After Li Zhe finished speaking, he stood up and said to Yan Yan's kuli: "Please cultivate yourself at home and I'll wait for your conversation."
After hearing this, Yan Yan said, "Lord, please accept apologies from me. This is because I, Yan Yan, misunderstood the lord."
Li Zhe saw that it was done, and then walked up to help Yan Yan up and said, "With you here, the people of Yizhou will feel at ease."
Then Li Zhe handed over all the military power in Yizhou to Yan Yan and ordered Fazheng to serve as the military advisor of Yizhou.
Li Zhe wanted to take him in Yizhou for a while, Zhuge Liang hurriedly came to Li Zhe and said, "Lord, Cao Cao is moving again."
Li Zhe said: "Why, Cao Cao attacked our rear, but he attacked Yongliang."
Zhuge Liang said: "Cao Cao sent 170,000 troops, 100,000 cavalry, Dian Wei 50,000, and 20,000 crossbowmen to attack Yongliang Ma Teng. He sent troops the day before yesterday, and he might have just arrived at the border of Yongliang today."
Li Zhe said: "Our army will compete with Cao Cao when it comes to driving."
Zhuge Liang said: "What's the matter with lord? Do you want to attack Liu Bei?"
Li Zhe nodded and said, "It seems that it is time to repay Ma Su's sorrow."
Zhuge Liang also nodded and said, "Our army will meet Jingchu tomorrow."
Li Zhe nodded and said, "I ordered the army to prepare today and set off early tomorrow morning. It must not be slower than Cao Cao's."
