The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 117
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Li Yuan's words. If Li Yuan really proclaimed himself emperor in spite of everything, he would be in great trouble, and he would instantly become the target of the princes of the world. After all, proclaiming emperor is a major event in the world. If it falls down, it is still the orthodox royal family in the hearts of the people. Once it becomes emperor, it will lose the hearts of the people.

Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan were also surprised. They did not expect Li Yuan to be able to resist the temptation to become emperor. This kind of mentality is not something everyone can do. I feel a little admiration for Li Yuan in my heart. If it were Yuan Shu, he would definitely not be able to resist such a temptation , Why do the princes of the world fight for hegemony, not for the power of the emperor.

Li Yuan put Yuxi away and planned to discuss with Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu what to do with Yuxi later.

"Yan Xiang, you are a person who dares to speak out. Although you are loyal to Yuan Shu, but because of your upright personality, you never show mercy when you speak and do things, and you don't look at other people's faces. I think you have offended him a lot. I'm afraid he treats you I don't have any good impressions, I don't know if what I said is right?"

Li Yuan was very aware of the relationship between Yan Xiang and Yuan Shu. With Yan Xiang's straightforward personality, how could Yuan Shu tolerate him? No matter how loyal Yan Xiang was to him, it was useless.

Hearing the words, Yan Xiang seemed to recall how Yuan Shu treated him, with a disappointed expression on his face, and he sighed helplessly.

"I, Li Yuan, dare not say that I can do everything right, but I have always treated my subordinates sincerely. Regardless of your ability, as long as you are loyal to me, I will never treat you badly. If you have extraordinary talents, I will definitely Appoint me well, so that you can show your strengths and make contributions." Li Yuan walked to Yan Xiang's side and patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't want to work for me, then leave on your own, I won't make things difficult. "

Yan Xiang looked at Li Yuan with complicated eyes. Originally, he didn't like Li Yuan, but after hearing this remark, he couldn't hate him at all, and he started to work for him. His courtiers only value him twice. The first thing is to be able to be trusted by the master, and the second is to be able to show his strengths. Li Yuan can do both, and he is indeed a master.

Yan Xiang walked towards the gate, his pace was a bit slow, he seemed to be still hesitating, after walking a few steps, he turned back and asked: "Really let me go, are you afraid that I will avenge Yuan Shu and deal with you in the future?"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Am I a person who doesn't know right from wrong? You and I have no grievances or enmity. Now I am captured by me because each is the master. It is a matter of course to let you go. You have to work for others to deal with me." , I won't stop him, but if I capture him next time, I won't be so easy to talk about."

Li Yuan will give you two chances in everything. He can let you go once, but he will never let you go a second time. Although he is not a vicious person, he is not a good person either. It is impossible to let his enemies go every time. He keeps creating troubles for himself. If he really wants to do this, it is not because he is broad-minded and tolerant, but because he is stupid.

Yan Xiang lowered his head to look at the ground, and did not speak for a long time.

"Yan Xiang, why don't you stay? I believe General Li will not disappoint us. He is definitely better than Yuan Shu. I believe you know this better than me." Yuan Huan persuaded.

After a long silence, Yan Xiang walked up to Li Yuan and knelt down, "Yan Xiang is willing to serve General Li. I wonder if General Li is willing to accept me?"

"Hahahaha, how could I, Li Yuan, refuse to take such a virtuous and talented person." Li Yuan smiled and helped Yan Xiang up, feeling very happy in his heart. It was indeed beyond his expectation that Yan Xiang could be persuaded, because Yan Xiang Elephant is not one to give in easily.

"Congratulations, my lord, for accepting two more talents." Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu clasped their fists together to congratulate.

"Yuan Huan, Yan Xiang, it's getting late today, you go down and rest first." Li Yuan knew that they were working day and night for the war, so he asked them to rest first.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern." Yuan Huan and Yan Xiang clasped their fists together and went to rest.

Not long after Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan left, soldiers came to see Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and Li Yuan asked the soldiers to bring them in.

After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu walked into the hall, they clasped their fists at Li Yuan and said, "Greetings, General Li."

"You and I are allies, so there is no need to be so polite." Li Yuan saw that although Sun Ce had bandaged the wound, his face was a little pale. It can be seen that the injury was not serious, and he was able to open the city gate with 2 troops under the siege of [-]. , it is not easy. If you really want to say who will be the first to capture Lujiang, it must be Sun Ce.

"Brother Sun, is your injury okay?" Li Yuan asked with concern.

"Thanks to General Li for his concern. It's just a few minor injuries. It's okay." Seeing Li Yuan worried about his injuries, Sun Zhizhi was slightly moved.

"General Li, what we discussed in advance, I don't know if..." Zhou Yu was most concerned about Yuan Shu's surrender, which was very important to Sun Ce, so he came to Li Yuan as soon as the battle was over. In fact, I was still a little worried that Li Yuan would go back on his word, after all, the contact time was not long.

"Brother Zhou, you can rest assured that I, Li Yuan, am by no means a man of faith. I will definitely do what I promised you. Thanks to your help, we were able to take down Lujiang with a small loss of troops. This work must be yours, and Yuan Shu's 8000 soldiers will be handed over to you tomorrow." Li Yuan told Zhou Yu to rest assured that he would do what he said.

"Gong Jin, I said earlier that General Li is a man of his word. You can be trusted this time." Sun Ce's tone blamed Zhou Yu, because Zhou Yu didn't trust Li Yuan, so they took the initiative to find Li Yuan to ask for someone. , This is great, they are not people who break their promises at all, this kind of proactive behavior makes them very embarrassed, Sun Ce can't wait to find a hole to get in.

"General Li, I, Zhou Yu, have been worrying too much, please don't take offense." Zhou Yu hurriedly cupped his fists to apologize.

"Hahahaha, Brother Zhou, don't blame yourself. Your worries are natural. Brother Sun and I have similar personalities, so how could you lie to him?" Li Yuan was still very generous and did not blame Zhou Yu for being suspicious.

"General Li, thank you for teaching me marksmanship on the battlefield two days ago, which gave me an epiphany. Now my marksmanship has improved a lot. I am very grateful." Sun Ce was wounded by Li Yuan that day. Returning to Lujiang, he kept reminiscing about the scene of fighting Li Yuan while recuperating, which gave him a little more understanding of marksmanship.

"It's just a small matter. Your marksmanship can improve because of your talent and hard work. I'm just giving you some guidance, not much guidance." Li Yuan is very humble, which makes Sun Ce and Zhou Yu admire even more.

"General Li, I have something to ask, can you do me a favor?" Zhou Yu asked.

"What's the matter? Brother Zhou, just say it, I, Li Yuan, will definitely do what I can."
