"Uh!" Li Li looked at Li Xuan in amazement, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and secretly said: "Li Xuan is really a crow's mouth, this mouth is too poisonous, it's incredible!"

Thinking secretly, Li Li couldn't help thinking of Zhuge Liang's evaluation of later generations, that he was so wise that he was almost a monster.Now, in Li Li's view, Li Xuanzhi's wisdom is extremely against the sky.Be a genius in the world!

Li Li looked at Li Xuan with admiration, and said teasingly: "I never found out before that Yuan Zhong is also an elegant person who cherishes fragrance and loves jade! Hehehe!"

Li Xuan blushed a little when he heard this, and explained: "I made my lord laugh, and my subordinates just expressed their feelings and have no other intentions. Once Dong Xiangguo dies, then Wang Yun's daughter Diaochan will surely spread her fame to the world and be widely spread by the world. In troubled times, it is not a good thing for a woman to be famous in the world, and she will inevitably become a plaything for all the princes to compete for in the crotch. But right now, she is by Lu Bu's side, at least she is safe."

In addition to being extremely surprised by Li Xuan's prophetic words, Li Li was also amazed.

For a moment, Li Li even had an illusion.If Li Xuan was born in later generations, he must also be a very remarkable talent, because he has a three-pointed view on many things, has a unique and long-term vision, is meticulous in thinking, has a strong overall view and foresight, and is extremely valuable.

While thinking about it, Li Li smiled and said: "Diao Chan is famous all over the world, but it is not a wise choice for her to hide under Lu Bu's wing. Lu Bu first killed Ding Yuan, then joined Dong Xiangguo, and now kills her again." If Wang Yun dies again, even if Lu Bu did not kill him, I am afraid that no one will really believe him in the future.

Anything that happens to a person again and again, who will associate with him, who has the courage to associate with him.So once Xiangguo died, except for Lu Bu's reliance on Wang Yun, the princes of all towns and cities in the world would never join him again. Even if they formed an alliance with him, they would have to be careful to guard against him, so as not to repeat the same mistakes and lure wolves into the house and cause death.In this way, although Lu Bu is brave, he will no longer have any allies in this world, and sooner or later he will die! "

Li Xuan readily nodded in agreement with Li Li's conclusion, and said after thinking: "Now that Dong Xiangguo is dead and the Xiliang army has no leader, the news will surely spread throughout the world within ten days. By that time, the generals in the army may be all Everyone is panicking, everyone is running for their own lives. However, the subordinates think that this is a great opportunity for our army to seize the opportunity to subdue some powerful generals. What do you think, my lord?"

Li Li pondered and said: "Take in the generals of the army? It's an opportunity. It's just that the Xiliang Army has been silent for nearly two years, and the military discipline has been ruined. Many soldiers are arrogant and domineering, burning, killing, and looting. It has been lost, and it is useless to gain. Right now, the army that still has real combat power is in the hands of five Zhonglang generals and some powerful school lieutenants, but these people are all old, treacherous and cunning, and there is no one easy to match. My Wuwei army, I am afraid that these people are more willing to rely on the court represented by my uncle Li Jue and Wang Yun, and they are not willing to rely on me unless it is a last resort!"

Li Xuan nodded helplessly and said: "My lord's words are very true. But in this way, the once powerful Xiliang Army will no longer exist and will be fragmented, thus completely losing its powerful military power to deter the princes of the world. After that, the situation in the world will be worrying." ah!"

Li Li said indifferently: "This is something that is bound to happen. I can't stop it. Let it go. Yuan Zhong, send more scouts and secret agents to closely monitor the situation in Chang'an, and stationed in Hangu Pass and Lantian. The movement of the Xiliang army in the camp. In addition, Feiying sent an order to Li Xian to recruit [-] Xiutu cavalry to join us in Chang'an within half a month, and asked Fan Yong to come to see me with the army."

"Huh? Xiutu Iron Cavalry is a new army that has just been formed. They are recruited to come here at this time. Isn't the Lord going to give up Chang'an?" Li Xuan looked at Li Li in astonishment and asked in puzzlement.

Li Li shook his head slightly and said: "No, it is inevitable to abandon Chang'an City. However, as Yuan Zhong said, this time the Xiliang army is in chaos. If we have enough military strength, we can take the opportunity to subdue some generals and quickly grow our strength. Right now we only have more than [-] soldiers in Gejiapo. The force is too weak and the deterrence is not enough, so we have to deploy reinforcements. Once the Xiutu Iron Cavalry arrives in Chang'an within half a month and joins us, then we will There are [-] iron cavalry, which can form a powerful deterrent to other generals in the army, forcing them to rely on me. Dong Xiangguo has more than [-] soldiers and horses at least, as long as we can recruit [-]% of them , can double the strength of the Wuwei Army. If this is the case, when we return to Liangzhou, we will be able to form a joint force with Li Xian, the defender of Wuwei County, from both sides, and then pacify Liangzhou in one fell swoop. Yuan Zhong, there is no need Don't talk too much, send an order immediately."

"No, this subordinate takes orders." Seeing that the lord's mind had been made up, Li Xuan immediately bowed and left without further words.

After Li Xuan left the big tent, Li Li sat alone in the big tent and meditated for a long time.

Once Dong Zhuo died, the real troubled times came.At this moment of great turning point, it is up to him to take the helm as to where the Wuwei army will go and where the road ahead is. It must be carefully considered, and the opportunity must not be missed.

Chapter 260

After meditating alone for a while, Li Li got up and walked towards the independent wooden building behind the big tent.

This new courtyard is the backyard where Li Li's family lived.

The other courtyard was built in only half a month, and all of them were erected with logs, which was extremely simple.Fortunately, it was early summer and the weather was warm, so living in a wooden house was cool and comfortable.

"My concubine has met my husband." Li Li had just entered the courtyard gate, when he saw Ren Hongchang hurriedly greet him, and bowed to salute.

"Hongchang, your face is not right, is there something urgent?" Li Li stretched out his hand to support Ren Hongchang, Li Li stopped her slender waist naturally, and said with a smile.

Ren Hongchang was about to speak, but turned his head to look around worriedly, and then pulled Li Li to the gazebo in the northwest corner.

"Hongchang, what is it that you have to avoid the maid to talk about?" Sitting down at the stone table in the gazebo, Li Li asked in surprise.

"Husband read this letter first, then you will understand everything." When Ren Hongchang was speaking, he took out a roll of brocade from his cuff and handed it to Li Li.

Li Li spread out the brocade curiously, and immediately frowned, his expression changed drastically, and then the expression on his face became very strange.

But seeing dozens of characters appearing on the brocade silk, it seems to be a woman's handwriting, the handwriting is exquisite and beautiful, the skills are good, and it is quite a master.

"Hongchang is like meeting each other. Last year, it seemed like we couldn't see each other again. My sisters have known each other for more than ten years. They slept and ate together, and learned arts in the attic. Although they were not born of the same mother, they are better than fellow countrymen. Mei Wu, who is trapped in the devil's den, as my sister will not give up, I hope to lend a helping hand to save me. Definitely! Wang Ying."

Looking at the rather delicate writing on the brocade silk, Li Li frowned, a gleam flashed across his tiger eyes, and he had a strange expression on his face.

Just now, he told Li Xuan that Diao Chan was sheltered under Lu Bu's wings.It is not a wise choice, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of other princes.Moreover, he also said that Diao Chan is a confidante, whose fame spreads all over the world, and will surely become a plaything for the feudal lords to compete for.Unexpectedly, Diao Chan's distress letter reached him so quickly, almost at the same speed as the Wuwei Army scouts summoned him. Even before the scouts summoned Dong Zhuo to kill him, the letter reached Ren Hongchang.

It's amazing!How could Diao Chan know that the Wuwei Army hadn't left Chang'an, and could deliver the distress letter to Ren Hongchang so quickly?

"Hongchang, when was this letter delivered and who sent it?" Li Li frowned.asked in a low voice.

Ren Hongchang had been paying attention to Li Li's expression. Seeing Li Li's displeasure at this moment, he begged urgently: "My husband, I beg you to save my cousin! She is now trapped in Mei Wu, dozens of miles away. If the husband is willing to send troops to rescue, the cousin can be rescued from danger within an hour. I beg you, husband!"

After speaking.Ren Hongchang burst into tears.Holding Li Li's right arm with both hands, his beautiful face was full of sadness, and his graceful figure was nestled beside the man.It's really pitiful, and everyone who sees it is moved.

"I didn't say I wouldn't save her! Don't cry, Hongchang, I will save your cousin. But you tell me first. Who sent this letter and how did it come?" Li Li saw that Ren Hongchang's eyes were full of tears. With tears, his heart softened immediately, and the stern expression on his face instantly disintegrated.Instead, he asked softly.

Indeed, there were scouts and sentry cavalry of the Wuwei Army within tens of miles of Gejiapo, and it was impossible for anyone to approach or sneak in.Under such careful protection, someone could avoid the scouts and hand over the letter to Ren Hongchang without Li Li's knowledge, which is really puzzling.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that the whereabouts of the Wuwei army hiding in Gejiapo have been revealed, and the whereabouts have already been grasped by interested people, and they can come and go freely.If Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others knew of Li Li's whereabouts, then Li Li's [-]-odd army would be trapped deep in the mountains at any time, and the entire army would be in danger of being wiped out.

Just as Li Li was secretly guessing, Ren Hongchang's eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice with shame: "Please forgive me, my husband. The concubine didn't hide this on purpose, but my cousin's personal maid, Bier, sent me the same day. In the letter, I said that I can’t tell my husband about this in advance, otherwise my cousin will die. Therefore, I didn’t dare to tell my husband about this in advance. It wasn’t until sister Wuxia said that Dong Xiangguo was killed by Lu Bu that I hurriedly took it. Cousin’s handwritten letter begging her husband to rescue her.”

"When was the letter delivered?" Li Li asked.

Seeing that Li Li didn't seem angry, Ren Hongchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said softly: "On the morning of the day we left Chang'an, Bi'er stopped the car at the city gate and handed it over to my concubine. At that time, Bi'er and sister Cai Yan The former maid Xiaohuan came together, so the guards didn't stop them and let them go directly to our carriage."

"Oh, so that's the case." Li Li's expression suddenly relaxed, and he suddenly realized.

Seeing that Li Li's expression became more and more peaceful, Ren Hongchang asked softly with hesitation: "Husband, don't you blame me at all? I have been thinking about this matter in my heart for the past few days, and I am too scared to be alone with my husband." , I’m afraid my husband will ask.”

"Hehehe!" Li Li held Ren Hongchang in his arms, and said with a smile: "Hongchang, I was still wondering why I didn't see you sneaking into my room to spend the night these days. So you are worried that you won't be able to keep it safe." It's a secret, so I deliberately avoided seeing me."

Ren Hongchang buried her head in Li Li's arms with a blushing face when she heard the words, and said softly, "Isn't it! I've been restless these days because of this matter, and when I talk with Sister Xin and the others, I feel weird Yes, it's like being a thief, it's very uncomfortable. Husband, are you really willing to save your cousin? What should I do with Sister Wan'er? If she finds out, the concubine doesn't even know how to get along with her."

Li Liwei squinted his eyes and said: "You must not let Wan'er know about this matter. Your cousin is directly related to Dong Xiangguo's death, and it can even be said that this is a conspiracy that she and her father Wang Yun have discussed long ago. Once Wan'er finds out, she will definitely not forgive your cousin, and may even have a bad relationship with you. So, leave the matter of saving your cousin to me, and you will not interfere in the future. It is best for you sisters The two of you should not meet each other in the near future, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles and cause extra problems. After Wan'er gradually feels relieved, all the dust will settle at that time, and right and wrong grievances will naturally surface. At that time, she will no longer resent your cousin gone."

"I hope so. The adoptive father is really cruel. He actually used his cousin to do such a despicable thing, how can she see people in the future!" Ren Hongchang complained quite indignantly.

Li Li shook his head and said: "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to say these things. Hongchang, your cousin said that she is now in Meiwu. Is the information accurate? How can you be sure that she is in Meiwu at this time?"

Ren Hongchang immediately said: "My cousin is thoughtful, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she has been smart since she was a child. She said that when Dong Zhuo had an accident, she would tie a red silk at the corner of the wall at Mei Wuxi, and she herself was at the place where the red silk was. Wait within a hundred paces. My husband, let someone pay attention, if you don’t see the red silk on the top of the wall, it means that the cousin is not in Meiwu.”

Hearing this, Li Li said with deep eyes: "It seems that your cousin is really not an ordinary woman! After Dong Xiangguo died, Mei Wu fell into the hands of Lu Bu sooner or later, and Chang'an City was dominated by Wang Yun. She only needs to escape the chaos. , can be rescued safely. But she turned to you for help. And she prepared this move very early, there must be something strange in it. It's intriguing!"

Ren Hongchang was startled when he heard this.After thinking about it, he said: "Cousin is quiet by nature, dignified and virtuous, but she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she is very assertive. Considering this matter as a concubine, there must be a dispute between her and her adoptive father, and she does not want to listen to her adoptive father's orders anymore. .So she would rather let the concubine ask her husband to save her. She would rather not go back to her foster father Wang Yun, and even less would she commit herself to Lu Bu."

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, Hongchang, just now I was telling Yuan Zhong that your cousin is a confidante. After this, she must be famous for her beauty. I never expected that now But I want to get into trouble and send someone to save her. I'm afraid this is retribution, I shouldn't talk about her in private, but I got retribution, and the disaster is coming to me, Li Li!"

After Ren Hongchang heard the words, his eyebrows moved, and he said with a smile: "Husband, let me tell you the truth. My cousin is more beautiful than me. This does not mean that she is more beautiful than me, but that she is more beautiful than me. Proficient in the six arts, born in a famous family, with elegant temperament, the concubine is not as good as her. This time the husband is a hero to save the beauty, maybe the cousin will fall in love with the husband, and the husband may be able to kiss Fangze at that time! Hee hee hee"

"Stop, don't talk about kissing Fangze! As a husband, my family has a beautiful wife, and I want to live for two more years. I'm afraid you can't afford a disaster-like beauty like your cousin. As a husband, I can save her, but Just saving her once for your sake, and arranging a quiet place for her in the future, would be the best of humanity." Li Li said anxiously, shaking his head.

Returning to the main tent of the Chinese army again, Li Li smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Just now, although he simply agreed to Ren Hongchang's request, he expressed his willingness to save Wang Ying.In fact, he was extremely entangled in his heart, and he was even a little unwilling to do such a thankless thing.Going to Meiwu to save people is not difficult in itself, but it is a good thing for Li Li. At least you can check the internal situation of Meiwu in advance, which is good for attacking Meiwu in the future, and it will be useful.The crux of the matter is that the person to be rescued is Wang Ying, who is now Diao Chan.

Diao Chan, it's easy to save her, but there are endless troubles.Dong Zhuo's death was caused by her, Dong Wan must hate her to death, and if many generals of the Xiliang Army know that Diao Chan is in Li Li's hands, what will they think? Will they think that it was Li Li who killed Dong Zhuo? A secret conspiracy was set up to replace Dong Zhuo in taking charge of the Xiliang Army.

If someone really thinks this way, and then becomes stiff again, then even if Li Li jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean himself up.Anyway, Diao Chan is in his hands, that is the witness, like yellow mud falling into the crotch, who can tell what is going on?Isn't it necessary to let others hold the shit pot, say what they want, or why is Diao Chan in his hands, and why does he want to rescue the enchantress who killed Dong Zhuo.

In short, Diao Chan can be in anyone's hands, but no one should know that it is in Li Li's hands.Because he led the army to stay in Chang'an this time, his plan was very large, almost equivalent to the Xiliang army in charge of Dong Zhuo's death.

Diao Chan?To save, or not to save.Since Li Li had agreed to Ren Hongchang, he must be rescued, but after being rescued, it was a hot potato.What a disaster!
