Chapter 52 Hongmen Banquet?
Chapter 52 Hongmen Banquet?
"Well, could it be that tonight's banquet is actually a Hongmen banquet?" Li Yan's complexion changed immediately upon hearing this, and he asked in surprise.
"You don't need to know this, you just need to answer whether it's okay or not." Cai Hao's expression was ferocious, and his right hand was hidden under his sleeve. It looked like he was secretly carrying a sharp blade. As long as Li Yan shook his head, he would probably kill him immediately. He silenced himself.
Li Yan has always known Cai Hao's domineering and ruthless nature. Now that he sees the other party acting like this, he can naturally guess his intentions. Although he is confident that he can escape with his life from Cai Hao, his family members may be implicated in this. Therefore, Li Yan could not make any other choice at all. He secretly smiled bitterly and said, "Yan is willing to only follow the orders of the military advisor."
"Haha, I knew Li Zhengfang was a smart man and would definitely seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." Cai Mao excitedly patted Li Yan on the shoulder, then ordered someone to fetch a piece of gold and gave it to Li Yan. : "This is a small gift, not a sign of respect. When things are done, I will definitely give you a generous reward, and I will definitely help you do what I promised you before."
However, Cai Mao did not expect that Li Yan secretly asked his family members to pack their bags and be ready to leave Xiangyang at any time after returning.
Li Yan was originally from Nanyang, so he naturally cared about his parents and officials in his hometown. In the first few days, he received a letter from an old friend, saying that Liu He, the new owner of Nanyang, is a respectful and virtuous corporal, but he has great ambitions and treats the people very leniently. He was still a sergeant, and he was willing to work hard for him, and persuaded him to leave Xiangyang and go to Liu He.
But at that time Li Yan thought that since he already belonged to Liu Biao, he didn't want to go to others, so he didn't consider this matter, but now that Cai Mao is forcing him like this, if he doesn't make a choice, I'm afraid there will be only death waiting for him.
If he fails, it goes without saying that Cai Mao will definitely not let him go, and if he succeeds, he will become a new victim. Even if Cai Mao redeems his promise, Liu Biao will definitely give him up. Kill him and give Liu Yu and Liu He's generals an explanation. Only in this way can Liu Biao take over Nanyang smoothly.
Li Yan is not an idiot either, after a little thought, he saw through Cai Mao's plan, but he could not afford to offend Cai Mao, after much deliberation, the only way out was to find another way out.
After that, Li Yan quietly came to Liu He's residence, gave his name, and asked to meet him.
But Liu He couldn't help being taken aback when he heard that the person who asked to see him was actually Li Yan.
He had naturally heard of Li Yan, and also knew that Li Yan was one of the two important ministers of Liu Bei, the founder of the Shu Han Dynasty. He was equal to Zhuge Liang in terms of status. However, Li Yan later made a mistake and was demoted. In the end, Zhuge Liang died. Knowing that he would never have a chance to become an official, he finally died of depression.
"Since Li Yan can be equal to Brother Zhu in terms of status, he must have great abilities. Haha, I still believe in Liu Daer's vision, but this person comes to see me now, I don't know What's the purpose?" Although Liu He was suspicious, he was not afraid. He smiled faintly and immediately ordered someone to invite Li Yan over.
"The villain Nanyang Li Yan is upright, and he has met the envoy." After Li Yan came in, he bowed directly to Liu He.
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. I don't know if your husband is here to see you. What advice can you give me?" Liu He didn't know what the other party's intention was, so he could only sigh. In fact, the villain wanted to seek refuge with the envoy. Cai Hao, the military advisor, suddenly found the villain and asked him to assassinate the envoy in the name of dancing swords at the banquet tonight. The villain knew that the envoy was the lord of benevolence. Everyone in Nanyang was grateful. At the same time, Yan also knew about the assassination Regardless of success or failure, death is inevitable, so if you want to entrust yourself to the envoy, please be sure to take him in, and solemnly wish to be smashed to pieces in order to repay the envoy's great kindness and virtue. "
Li Yan didn't beat around the bush, and directly stated his plan.
Liu He could tell that Li Yan's words just now were sincere, but then he frowned and said, "But I have no enmity with this Cai Mao, why would he plot to assassinate me?"
"This villain doesn't know." Li Yan thought for a long time, and then said: "But I heard that Cai Mao and Mr. Cao have a close relationship since they were young. Maybe this Mr. Cao entrusted Cai Mao."
"So that's the case. It seems that things are likely to be like this." Liu He nodded, and then hummed softly: "It seems that this Cao Cao is not not taking action, but is using tricks to deal with me. But it depends on your This little trick, if you want to kill me, it’s still far away, hehe.”
Afterwards, Liu He cupped his hands to Li Yan and said, "Thank you, sir, for your kindness and kindness. He will definitely remember this kindness in his heart."
At this time, Liu He ordered the system to scan Li Yan's attributes, and the system said: "Li Yan, a general-type talent, strength 78, intelligence 70, internal affairs 70, charisma 50, attributes have not reached the peak, Li Yan's peak attribute: force 84, intelligence 75, internal affairs 74, charisma 54, a second-rate military general, can be canonized as the lone star."
Hearing that Li Yan's attributes really met the canonization standards, Liu He was immediately overjoyed, and then said to Li Yan: "In this case, He promises to send Mr. Baowei to Wancheng successfully. As for you, Mr. Just dance your sword, I promise you can't hurt me."
"My lord saved my life and was willing to save my family. From now on, I will be the lord of Li Yan, but since this is the case, how can Yan dare to add troops to my lord?" Li Yan suddenly heard Liu He's words. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he said to Liu He in panic.
"Fang Fang, you can rest assured that I have warriors under my command, and I will take action to capture you when the time comes, and then I will ask Liu Jingzhou to hand you over to me, and Zheng Fang must understand what happened afterwards, right? "Liu He smiled lightly, and instantly thought of a perfect idea, and said to Li Yan.
Li Yan is naturally also a smart person. He understood Liu He's meaning as soon as he heard this, and quickly said to Liu He, "Thank you for your righteousness, my lord. Yan will never forget your kindness."
"It's not necessary for Zheng Fang to stay here. I'll give you another benefit to ensure that your strength will improve by leaps and bounds. Well, it's getting late. You should go back quickly. If you leave for too long, I'm afraid It will arouse Cai Mao's suspicion."
After Liu He sent Li Yan away, the smile on his face suddenly froze, and then he said lightly: "Cai Mao, Cai Mao, you actually set up a Hongmen banquet for me? Then I will be Han Gaozu, you Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, It's because of Peigong, it's not that I don't have good generals here, hehe, this time I let you suffer a dark loss and make you feel restless day and night in the future."
