The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 4 Mr. Li is indeed a great man who is good at managing the world (please read on!)
Five days later.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

A sturdy general ran up to Liu Bei excitedly.

"I have learned that there are indeed changes in Yanzhou!"

oh! ?

Upon hearing the news, Liu Bei was surprised and happy, and hurried forward to grab the document.

When you unfold it, it is clearly written in black and white.

Chen Gong was dissatisfied with Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou, Zhang Miao wanted to protect himself, and Lu Bu wanted to get a piece of land of his own. The three of them hit it off and occupied Puyang in one fell swoop.

The counties and prefectures under Yanzhou responded one after another!
"... Ziyu, Ziyu is truly a remarkable person!"

Liu Bei was a man who never showed his emotions on his face, but at this moment his lips were trembling with excitement.

There are two reasons.

First, Liu Bei had no chance of winning against Cao Cao's army, especially since he had just been defeated in Tan County.

Cao Cao's withdrawal allowed the people of Xuzhou to escape disaster, and Liu Bei was able to catch his breath and recover his strength.

Second, Cao Cao's withdrawal proved Li Yi's prediction.

Mr. Li is truly a genius who can plan and win battles from afar!

Emperor Gaozu appeared, and Liu Bei finally met "my Zi Fang"!

"Brother..."

Looking at Liu Bei's excited expression, Guan Yu was a little stunned.

"Yun Chang, just wait and see for yourself."

Liu Bei grinned from ear to ear and handed the document to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu reached out to take it and quickly glanced through it.

"Oh? Did Chen Gong really team up with Lu Bu to launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou?"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, frowned, and was also surprised.

"……Hahaha."

Liu Bei couldn't help but laugh out loud, "There are so many heroes in the world. Brother, you should know this time that you shouldn't look down on scholars, right?"

His second brother was good in every way except that he was too arrogant and looked down on scholars and officials.

Liu Bei also took this opportunity to give Guan Yu some advice.

Although Guan Yu was arrogant, he also knew the truth. He knew he was in the wrong, so he said:
"I underestimated that young man. It seems that he is indeed talented and knowledgeable."

"I should respect it and dare not neglect it again."

Although Guan Yu did not like people who talked big, he still respected people with real talent and knowledge.

Now the facts are before us. Although Li Yi is young, he has the ability to make every possible plan. Guan Yu has no choice but to change his attitude towards him.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The general spoke.

Guan Yu answered from the side:
"Cao Cao must be anxious to withdraw his troops in order to relieve the siege of Yanzhou."

"We will seize this opportunity and win a great victory."

Liu Bei stroked his beard and did not rush to agree to Guan Yu's request for battle. Instead, he smiled and said:

"It was Mr. Li's credit that Cao Cao was able to withdraw his troops."

"We should consult Mr. Li on how our army should act now."

"Brother, please follow me and leave as soon as possible."

After saying this, he looked at the general again.

"Zilong, you can also come with me to meet the master."

It turned out that this general was Zhao Yun.

"I've been fascinated by it for a long time!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands excitedly.

He had received an order from Liu Bei five days ago, asking him to go and inquire about the news from Yanzhou.

Later it was discovered that it was Liu Bei who rescued a hermit master and predicted that Lu Bu was going to launch a surprise attack on Yanzhou.

After finding out that the news was true, Zhao Yun became quite curious about this mysterious gentleman.

So when Liu Bei made the invitation, Zhao Yun almost agreed without hesitation.

The three of them came to the courtyard where Li Yi was.

As soon as Fang entered the door, he was stunned.

I saw Li Yi practicing boxing slowly in the yard.

This kind of boxing power has nothing to do with Taoism, but it is secretly in line with Taoism, and it contains mysteries, which is extremely wonderful.

"Oh, it's the envoy who has arrived."

Seeing Liu Bei, Li Yi stopped what he was doing and stepped forward to greet him.

"What did you do just now, sir?" Liu Bei was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

Li Yi also smiled and said:

"I have nothing to do these days, so I practice Tai Chi and exercise my body."

Tai Chi... ?
Liu Bei was born a knight-errant and had seen a lot of martial arts in the world, but Tai Chi involved his blind spot in knowledge.

"...Haha, sir, you are indeed a master."

Liu Bei maintained his usual emotional intelligence, "Seeing you practicing boxing here, it shows that you have almost recovered, I am very relieved."

Li Yi immediately bowed his hands and thanked him:

"Thanks to the good food and wine that you have given me these past few days, I am now healthy again."

His eyes then shifted to Zhao Yun who was standing beside him. Zhao Yun noticed it and immediately bowed in salute.

"My humble servant Zhao Yun greets Mr. Li."

It’s Zilong!
Even more handsome than on TV.

This is one of the generals with the most perfect character in the Three Kingdoms.

No matter how much people criticize Zhao Yun, his character will never be criticized.

A general who is truly loyal and brave, cares about the people and loves the grassroots people.

Although Liu Bei is now helping Tao Qian resist Cao Cao, he is still nominally a subordinate of Gongsun Zan.

Zhao Yun was also a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, so he was sent by Gongsun Zan to Liu Bei's army to train the mixed Hu cavalry.

Liu Bei's army had an elite cavalry of several hundred people, composed of Han and Hu people.

Trained and led by Zhao Yun himself, his fighting power is quite strong.

It was precisely because of the mobility of the cavalry that Liu Bei sent Zhao Yun to gather information from Yanzhou.

Then, the four of them went into the house together.

Li Yi personally poured a cup of tea for Liu Bei.

Generals Zhao Yun and Guan Yu stood behind Liu Bei.

"I don't think you came here just to have tea with me. If I guessed correctly, there must be news from Yanzhou."

Li Yi was very observant. Liu Bei brought both Zhao Yun and Guan Yu with him at the same time, which must be due to some important matter.

Liu Bei put down his teacup and said with emotion:

"Sir, you have a brilliant plan. Something unexpected has happened in Yanzhou."

"Chen Gong and Zhang Miao joined forces with Lu Bu to capture Puyang in one fell swoop."

"After receiving the news, Cao Cao also began to withdraw his troops in a hurry."

Upon hearing the news, Li Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, I should be able to get Lao Liu's long-term meal ticket.

Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Yi, and said hesitantly:

"I still have one thing I don't understand, and I would like to ask for your advice, sir."

Li Yi replied:
"Your Excellency, are you suspicious of what Cao Cao did?"

Liu Bei nodded and said thoughtfully:

"Cao Cao is a treacherous hero in this world. I have had dealings with him before."

"But what he did in Xuzhou was not what a great man would do."

Liu Bei recognized Cao Cao's abilities.

Although Cao Cao's character was not very good, he was indeed an outstanding politician.

So the question is, why would such an outstanding politician do such a thing as the Second Massacre in Xuzhou and the killing of so many people that the Si River stopped flowing?

You could still explain the second time as being revenge for your father.

But the first time, your father was still living well in Langya, so why did you kill so many people along the way?

If you say that Tao Qian hit you first, and you want to take revenge on Tao Qian, then go find Tao Qian.

Tell me, what have the people of Xuzhou done to offend anyone?

When the princes fought each other, the people suffered.

For a politician like Cao Cao, it is impossible that he was unaware of the consequences of massacring the city.

Liu Bei did not like what Cao Cao did, but he was even more confused as to why Cao Cao did this, so he asked Li Yi for advice.

Li Yi escaped from the slaughter of Cao's army, so he does have a say in this matter.

"There are three reasons why Cao Cao did what he did."
