Li Li waved his hand lightly and said: "You don't need a heavy hammer to play the drum, you just need to correct your mistakes. This time, I won't punish you. If you leave the room, it will be treated as if it never happened. The one hundred and three palace You don’t need to hand over the concubines to me, you choose nine of them to stay, three of them are your wives and concubines, and the other six daughters are promised to Huan Lang, Huan Bao and their six brothers as wives. The rest of the concubines are all handed over to Li Xin and Wuxia They, let them arrange marriages for the unmarried generals in the army, and after the incident in Chang'an City is over, choose Huang Daoji, and I will personally officiate for you. What do you think about this arrangement?"

"The last general takes the order, thank you, my lord, for fulfilling the mission!" Huan Fei bowed in surprise in response.

Li Li then smiled and said: "Share the blessings and share the troubles! The catastrophe that you Huan Fei caused was naturally borne by the whole army, so these concubines cannot be monopolized by you alone. There are many generals in the army. None of them got married, taking this opportunity to betroth the concubine to them, it can be considered that you, Huan Fei, have done a great deed of great merit for helping others.

The concubines and maids of the palace are naturally good in appearance, and their character and talent are not bad, otherwise they would not be selected into the inner courtyard of the palace.Coupled with the fact that you, Huan Fei, who has never been good at women, can't bear it anymore, presumably all of these concubines who have been robbed this time are all beauties with both talents and talents.In this way, the generals in the army will naturally not refuse, and they will even smile from ear to ear. After they are happy with their precious son, they may even give you a gift to express their gratitude.Hehehe! "

"This,,,,,, hehehe! This good deed of immeasurable merit should be done by the lord. The last general really can't afford it, and I don't want the generals to know that I snatched these concubines. It's too shameful. It’s so hard to say! My lord, please be sure to deal with this matter, and I will thank you at the end!” Huan Fei knelt down and bowed sincerely.

"Okay, I'll help you to the end, and I'll help you again to take care of this matter!" Li Li said with a smile.

Then Huan Fei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and bowed to leave. Li Li watched him leave with a smile.Immediately, Li Li laughed for a while in his study alone: ​​"Hahaha."

"Whoa Whoah"

The first rain of the early summer season arrived unexpectedly.

Although it was early summer, the belated rain was as continuous as the autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and it continued for three days without stopping.

The falling rain washed away the dust and sand on the northwest land, irrigated the cultivated land, made the roads muddy, and indirectly caused the stalemate between Chang'an and Mei Wu to be temporarily hidden in the wind and rain.

Mei Wu, the inner courtyard of the main hall.

"Bang bang bang!" Li Li came to the door of Dong Wan's room alone, and knocked gently on the door.

After Dong Zhuo's death, Dong Wan sent her personal maid away and stayed in the room alone, shutting the door, and it has been almost a month now.During the period, Li Xin, Dian Wuxia, Cai Yan and other five sisters all came to persuade her, but the effect was minimal.She was still depressed, staying in the room all day long, never leaving the door, not knowing what she was doing inside.

"Who is knocking on the door? I'm not feeling well, please go back!" Dong Wan's cold voice of decline came from inside the room.

"Wan'er, open the door." Li Li said softly.

"Zhi Zhi" was silent for a moment, Dong Wan finally opened the door, leaned over and pushed aside, with tears in her eyes, she whispered: "I'm being rude, my husband, please come in."

Li Li took the gift box from Li Zhi behind him, then waved his hand to signal Li Zhi to step back, and walked lightly into the room.

"Wan'er, I brought you some supplements for my husband. You must take them. You are too emaciated, and you have lost a lot these days. If you continue like this, your body will not be able to support it." Sitting at the round table in front of the bed Next, Li Li looked at Dong Wan with pity, and said softly.

Dong Wan stared at Li Li with tears in her eyes, and smiled sadly.He said softly: "Thank you for your concern, husband, I'm fine."

"You hate me, right? Because I didn't snatch Xiangguo's body back and let him be buried in peace?" Li Li asked softly with a calm expression.

After Dong Wan heard the words, tears fell from her eyes, and she cried: "My husband was ordered to leave Beijing, but he left and returned that night, and then more than 3 troops hid in Gejiapo Mountain Col for half a month. On the day my father was killed, you Sent people to sneak into Chang'an and rescued my brother-in-law, sister and the family members of many Xiliang generals. They also rescued sister Yan's father Cai Zhonglang from Lu Bu. But why didn't you take back my father's body? Don't Li Zhi and the others have this? ability?"

"You're right. Li Zhi and the others do have the ability to take back Xiangguo's body. I didn't order them to do so. Now I can only tell you that it's not that I can't do it. It's that I can't give this order. The deceased It's gone, but we people still have to live on. So there are some things we can't do." Li Li said calmly.

"Since you are afraid of being implicated, why did you kidnap the emperor and the queen mother?" Dong Wan asked resentfully.

Li Li said without changing his face: "One moment and another moment. When Xiangguo died, Wang Yun and Lu Bu controlled the government and the world's top leaders, and announced the news of Xiangguo's death. Therefore, I can't snatch Xiangguo's body. Otherwise, people all over the world will regard it as a remnant of the prime minister and be notorious. However, when the Xiliang army captured Chang'an, the situation was different. Chang'an was in chaos. Whoever can hold the emperor and the queen mother in their hands will occupy the name of righteousness Hold the power of the world in your hands, and then control the direction of public opinion in the world."

After Dong Wan heard the words, she stared at Li Li and remained silent.After a long time, she suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Under Wuguan, why did you let Lu Bu go? He took revenge for killing my father, why did you let him go?"

Li Li sighed softly when he heard the words, and muttered: "Lv Bu killed Ding Yuan for fame and fortune, and cast him under Xiangguo's command, and then killed Xiangguo, and then worshiped Wang Yun as his adoptive father, and now Wang Yun has also been torn into pieces. That's it. For one thing, although the world is big, no one dares to take in Lu Bu, let alone reuse him, and sooner or later he will die. But I can't let him die in my hands, at least I can't kill him right now, let him go The Central Plains is beneficial to our entire Xiliang army. The harm between the two powers is the lesser, so Lu Bu cannot die now. He has to pay the price for the sins he committed. When he betrays his relatives, it will be the day of his death. !"

Dong Wan fell down on the bed in a daze, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father is right, you are far more terrifying than Lu Bu, and everything is in your calculations. Does it mean that even marrying me as a wife is your one thing?" You don't like me at all, do you?"

Li Li's expression changed slightly, his sword eyebrows were frowned, and he said in a deep voice, "I will marry you for no reason other than Xiangguo's insistence on giving you the marriage. I, Li Li, a man of nine feet, don't even bother to use women to achieve certain things. An ulterior purpose! Believe it or not? You have a good rest, I will come to see you another day."

After speaking, Li Li got up and walked in front of Dong Wan, reached out and gently smoothed the messy hair on both sides of her temples, then turned and left.

"Woooooo!" Seeing Li Li walk out of the room, Dong Wan wanted to ask him to stay, but she was so choked up that she couldn't speak, so she fell down on the bed and cried bitterly.

After the rain, the sun shines again in early summer.

The road is not yet firm, and the Xiliang Army stationed in Chang'an City is fighting again.Guo Si and Duan Yan led [-] troops out of the city to suppress the [-] remnants of Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's troops who were entrenched in Fufeng County.In addition, the two generals Zhang Ji and Li Meng led [-] cavalry to Longyou, Liangzhou, trying to collect and suppress the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Niu Fu's troops stationed in Lintao.

Lintao City was Dong Zhuo's old nest, hoarding a large amount of money and food and several large horse farms, and it was the rear of the entire Xiliang army, garrisoned by Dong Zhuo's second son-in-law, Niu Fu.Before his death, Dong Zhuo declared to the outside world that Lintao City had [-] soldiers, which was as strong as gold, enough to sweep the entire Liangzhou.But the reality is not known. The Kwantung princes all thought that Niu Fu had [-] troops, which was just Dong Zhuo's one-sided statement, and his bluff was not credible.However, Lintao City was targeted by Zhang Ji this time, and together with Li Meng, he led the army to suppress it.

After the two armies were dispatched, there were less than 13 Xiliang troops stationed in Chang'an City. Li Jue was stationed in Chang'an, and Wang Fang and Guo Meng under his command climbed to the top of the city and were in charge of guarding the city gate.A few days ago, Li Jue asked Li Li for food and pay for 11 troops.In the battle of counterattacking Chang'an, Li Jue's 12 Xiliang army attacked the city for nearly three hours.More than 1 soldiers were killed or injured.

The lobby of the main hall of Mei Wu.

Li Ligao took the main seat, lowered his head and looked through the money and food account books sent by Li Xuan and Li Ru, with a strong look of joy on his brows.

"Okay, good, good! I used to estimate that there is a lot of money and food stored in Mei Wu, but I didn't expect that the money and food in Mei Wu greatly exceeded my expectations. It's really great! God-given granary, the opportunity for our Wuwei army to grow and develop has finally come Already!" Li Li happily exclaimed after flipping through the letter roughly.

"Hehehe, congratulations to my lord, congratulations to my lord! With this amount of money and rations, our army will expand by another [-] troops. Within five years, we will have no worries about food and wages, and our strength will greatly increase!" Li Xuan echoed with a smile.

Li Li nodded happily, and said with emotion: "What Yuan Zhong said is very true. I always thought that our Xiliang army was trapped in a corner because of the bitter cold in Xiliang. The food and grass were not enough, and we were unable to attack the states and counties in the east. I didn't understand until now. Dong Xiangguo stationed troops in Xiliang. It’s not that he didn’t have money and food to supply the army to attack the Central Plains, but he was unwilling to start another war. He stored all the money and food accumulated in Luoyang, the eastern capital, in Luoyang for decades, so he could sit on the golden mountain and enjoy the glory and wealth It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes. Xiangguo only enjoyed the blessing of Qingfu for more than a year. Then he died in Zhengyang Palace. Today, the sky gave me so much money and food to Li Li. Xiangguo’s mistake, even if it can’t bring peace to the world, it will still benefit the people of Xiliang. Yuan Zhong and Wen You. Food should not be stored for a long time, you two need to properly distribute the old food, don’t waste the hard-won food!”

"Promise, the subordinates will definitely live up to the lord's trust!" Li Xuan and Li Ru bowed in response.

After finalizing the matter of money and food, Li Ru respectfully reported: "My lord, today Chang'an City dispatched an army of 2 to march westward. Guo Si and Duan Yan led the troops to attack Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's troops. Right. In addition, according to detailed reports, Niu Fu, the general of the Zhonglang stationed in Lintao, heard that Xiangguo had died, and tried to flee to the Qiang territory with a large amount of gold and silver, but was attacked and killed by Hu Chi'er, a lieutenant of the army, on the way. Then Lintao's [-]-strong army fell apart. After tens of thousands of soldiers burned, killed, and looted, they scattered and fled with gold, silver and jade. Today, there are still more than [-] ordinary soldiers in Longyou, and most of their leading generals have run away. The army of soldiers has no leader and no one to control them. They act recklessly for the sake of harming their neighbors. Please let me know how to deal with this matter."

"Uh, Niu Fu is dead, and the Longyou army has no leader?" Li Lijian frowned slightly, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Niu Fu has always obeyed Dong Xiangguo's orders. , he actually made such a bad plan to flee with gold and silver? Hehehe, this is the way to die! But I have already made arrangements. The next day when Xiutu cavalry came to Chang'an, Teng Yu led [-] Qingqi back to Liang Zhou, lurking near Longyou, it is expected that Teng Yu should start to recruit the Longyou garrison at this time. None of the generals who fled with gold and silver can't escape, but the [-] army is really useless, it will take some time Daily screening and reorganization, it is not bad to leave [-] soldiers and horses in the end."

Li Xuan suddenly realized and said: "Oh? I said why I haven't seen Teng Yu and those Xiutu soldiers these days. It turns out that the lord has long been concerned about it. The lord is planning a strategy, and the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. The subordinates worship!".

Li Ru was also quite surprised, and exclaimed: "My lord is wise! Longyou was the foundation of Xiangguo during his lifetime. There are not only [-] troops stationed there, but also two horse farms, where tens of thousands of Xiliang war horses are raised. The following subordinates Guess, the lord sent General Teng Yu to lead the army this time, I am afraid it is aimed at those horses."

"Hehehe! Wenyou's words are right, and what he said is not bad at all." Li Li affirmed Li Ru's conjecture with a smile, and then continued: "The great changes in Longyou were within my expectations, but the people entrenched in Youfufeng Hu Zhen and Dong Yue's troops are indeed quite elite. Especially the Feixiong soldiers led by Dong Yue, they are one of the few heavy armored cavalry in Xiliang. I have been envious of them for a long time. Wen You, you Are you sure that if you surrender Dong Yue, the Feixiong soldiers in his hands will also be included in the Wuwei Army?"

Li Ru smiled lightly, nodded and said, "I will do my best, and I hope to use my sharp tongue to persuade Dong Yue to surrender. Please rest assured, my lord."

"Okay!" Li Li laughed and said, "I'll send Huan Fei to lead three thousand soldiers from the Tiger Roaring Battalion to escort you there, trying to get to the front of Guo Si and Duan Yan's army to surrender Dong Yue and Hu Zhen. If Hu Zhen doesn't If you want to surrender to me, you don't have to force it, but Dong Yue and the Feixiong soldiers under his tent must win over. No matter what conditions he proposes, you can agree to him, as long as he is willing to surrender. It is not too late, you start now OK!"

"No, this subordinate takes orders!" Li Ru readily complied and left the lobby quickly.

Li Xuan watched Li Ru leave, and asked softly, "My lord, if Dong Yue really opened his mouth like a lion and raised conditions indiscriminately, would you agree to him?"

"The lion opened his mouth?" Li Li groaned, and then sneered, "If Dong Yue is ignorant of current affairs and asking for a lot of money, what's the use of keeping such a greedy person? Compared with Dong Yue, I value his Fei Xiong more." Bing. Hehehe!"

Chapter 285

Longyou is near Taocheng.

Longyou got its name because it is west of Longshan Mountain. In ancient times, the west was the right, so it was called Longyou.

Lintao camp, inside the tent of the Chinese army.

"Commander, as of today, our army has surrendered more than [-] Xiliang soldiers, arrested more than [-] generals above the rank of commander, and their family members, and intercepted a large number of gold, silver and jade objects. What should our army do now?" What to do, please tell the commander clearly." In the big tent, Huan Lang bowed and reported to the general Teng Yu.

"Have all the horses from those two racecourses been recovered?" Teng Yu sat on the main seat in armor, waved his hand to signal Huan Lang to take his seat, and then asked Yang Qiu who was sitting on the left under the tent.

This time Teng Yu was ordered to lead [-] Xiutu cavalry to Longyou, and the battle went smoothly.Lintao City is almost an undefended city. Although there are nearly ten thousand soldiers in the city, there is no one to guard the city. It is chaotic and the soldiers have no fighting spirit.This is not only true for Lintao City, but also for all counties in Longyou County.
