By this time, the general who had pleaded guilty had already knelt for half an hour, waiting quietly for Li Li to deal with him.

However, Li Li remained indifferent and turned a blind eye to him, leaving him alone for half an hour.Now that the official business was over, it was finally his turn, but Li Li suddenly remained silent and just stared at him with great interest, as if seeing him for the first time, with strange eyes and an intriguing expression.

"The final general knows that he deserves more than death, so he came here to plead guilty to the general face to face. If he wants to kill him, he will let the general punish him. The final general will never complain!"

Being stared at by Li Li made him feel extremely tormented. He felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles while kneeling on the ground, his scalp was numb, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.He really couldn't bear this kind of suffering, and couldn't resist Li Li's strange eyes, so he had to take the initiative to plead guilty;Once it's over, I won't suffer from this kind of ignoring and silent torture again.

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled frankly when he heard the words, and said in a calm tone: "It will be a few months. Xingba will come here all right?"

"Uh! This..." Gan Ning was shocked when he heard the words, and replied respectfully with great difficulty: "Thank you, General, for your concern. The last general, oh no, the guilty general has been taken care of by the General, and his injuries have healed up. I am here to plead guilty to the General. , Let it go!"

That's right, the pleading general who knelt under the hall for half an hour and no one cared about him.It was Gan Ning Gan Xingba.

In the battle of Poison Dragon Pool, Gan Ning tried his best to use Li Li's hand to get rid of the poison dragon, and then reap the benefits.Collect many treasures at the bottom of the pool.Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, Li Li is full of tricks, and slips away as soon as he hits the water, so that Gan Ning faces the poisonous dragon alone.Then he fled in embarrassment after being chased by the poisonous dragon.

Although Gan Ning is very watery.He is agile, but he is not the opponent of the poisonous dragon after all, or he is completely vulnerable to the poisonous dragon.As a result, Gan Ning was forced to the hillside by the poisonous dragon, and was seriously injured when he couldn't escape. He was also poisoned and passed out on the spot. After that, he remained in a coma for more than a month.His cheeks were purple then.His whole body turned black, but fortunately he was still holding his breath.His body was not cold and his heart was still beating. After the war, Li Li brought him back to Chang'an, and asked two genius doctors, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, to treat him from the severe poison.

Under the careful care of the two genius doctors, Gan Ning was in a coma on the sickbed for a full month before gradually waking up. It was like wandering around before the gate of hell and then turning back, finally saving his life.Then he lay on the couch for four full months before he could get off the ground, and then his body gradually improved, and it took more than a month before he fully recovered.

After recovering, Gan Ning was worried again, not knowing what to do and how to face Li Li.

For the next ten days or so, he was worried about gains and losses all day long, restless, restless, sleeping and eating, and completely lost his way.For those who have died once, Gan Ning has experienced the preciousness of life and is extremely nostalgic for life. He really does not want to die so carelessly; even if he must die, he must die vigorously.But he was in the backyard of Chang'an Taiyuan Academy, and he faced a group of old scholars all day long, talking about others, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he couldn't communicate at all, and he clearly felt that these celebrities and gentlemen of Taiyuan Academy looked down on him. Didn't want to talk to him at all.Among all the gentlemen of Tai Academy, only Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, who treated his wounds and detoxified him, occasionally talked to him. The others seemed to treat him as a transparent person and turned a blind eye.

In addition, Gan Ning found that the guards of the Taiyuan Academy were extremely strict, with two or three thousand soldiers stationed there, and these soldiers were very skilled and extremely vigilant, obviously they were well-trained and carefully selected Elite soldiers.

After recovering from his injuries, Gan Ning tried to sneak out of the Taiyuan Academy several times, but was captured alive by a hundred-man team who was in charge of guarding him five times. There was no hope of escape.But he really didn't want to see Li Li again, and subconsciously thought that when he was brought in front of Li Li, it would be the day of his death.

Li Li will never let him go, Gan Ning firmly believes in this.

After more than ten days of painful struggle, Gan Ning was extremely haggard. The joy of escape from death was completely gone, replaced by confusion about the future and fear of facing death again.In the end, he bit the bullet and asked Hua Tuo for help, hoping that Hua Tuo could help him escape from birth, leave Taiyuan Academy, then leave Chang'an, and leave Li Li's jurisdiction.

However, when Gan Ning described the grievances between himself and Li Li in detail, Hua Tuo looked at him in amazement, and casually said something that shocked him: "It turns out that the general thinks highly of you, no wonder he Order to cure your poison at all costs; otherwise, given your condition at the time, there is no need for treatment, as long as you cut off the century-old ginseng soup that keeps you alive, you will die immediately."

When Gan Ning finally expressed his request to escape from Taiyuan Academy, Hua Tuo turned his head and left without saying a word.

Gan Ning was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after him, begging in every possible way, pestering Hua Tuo, but in exchange Hua Tuo reprimanded him: "You madman really doesn't know what's right and what's wrong, you don't know right from wrong, you don't know what's right and what's wrong, you're so confused! To kill you, why use a knife, and why spend hundreds of years of precious herbs in the court to heal and detoxify you?

Now that the injuries on your body have healed and the poison has been eliminated, you don't want to serve the general, but you are still focused on trying to escape.How can there be such an ungrateful person like you in the world?Didn't you ask the old man to give you a way out, then the good old man will show you a clear way, it's very simple: you go to see the general and let the general take care of you, only in this way can you have the right way.

Other than that, you have no way out.Don't look at your martial arts skills, but if you want to rely on your martial arts skills to escape from Taiyuan Academy, it is a whimsical idea and you are looking for a dead end.There are only [-] soldiers guarding here on the surface, but in fact there are many dead soldiers hiding in the dark, as well as the intelligence organization under the command of the general. The number may be as many as tens of thousands, and they are all fighting against a hundred. master.The only way to get in and out of the Taiyuan Academy is to hold the guide issued by the General's Mansion, there is no other way.But if you want to see the general, it's very simple, just stand in the yard and shout, and someone will take you out naturally. "

Just like that, Gan Ning dubiously followed Hua Tuo's instructions and called out: "I want to meet the general!"

As a result, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was hit with a sap and passed out immediately.When he woke up again, he was already on the official road to Hangu Pass, arrived at Hangu Pass five days later, and was sent to the gate of the General Xingyuan an hour ago, where he met Li Zhi, the commander of Li Li's personal guard.Since then, all the gray-clothed dead men who have been with him have left, and no one has deliberately guarded him. He was allowed to wait outside the commander's tent. Li Li dealt with it.

In answering Li Li's sentence, Gan Ning sorted out all the bits and pieces of himself in the past five months in his mind.Immediately, he suddenly discovered that everything was just as Hua Tuo said, if Li Li wanted to kill him, he would not have to make such an effort at all. He just had to throw him in the Poison Dragon Pool or let Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji, the two world-renowned doctors, detoxify him. That's it.

Because of the poisonous poison on the poisonous dragon, no one in the world can detox it except for the two genius doctors. Even the two genius doctors were helpless when they saw such a powerful poison for the first time.Afterwards, the two testified to each other that the herbal medicines stored in the palace treasury for hundreds of years were allowed to be used by them, and they tried the medicines repeatedly, using a dead horse as a living horse doctor. After a lot of tossing, Gan Ning finally woke up and saved his life.

Before meeting Li Li, Gan Ning couldn't understand these things, and always thought that Li Li would not let him go.However, the moment he actually saw Li Li, he felt that Li Li was not as narrow-minded as he had imagined, and that he would always take revenge. Maybe he still had a chance.

"Healed?" Just as Gan Ning's thoughts were racing, Li Li murmured, with a smile on his face: "Xing Ba was seriously injured and poisoned, and now he is still back to normal. Congratulations. It's the fourth happy event today. I don't know what Xingba intends to do when he comes to see me this time? There's no need to make an apology, if he wants to kill you, he won't save you."

"Ah!" Gan Ning's face changed when he heard the words, he exclaimed in surprise, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.He had imagined many scenes when he met Li Li, and even thought about how he should answer in advance, but now he was speechless.

Because Li Li didn't ask questions according to the routine he had imagined, and said "If I want to kill you, I won't save you", all the arguments he had thought up before were smashed; it was like a fire burning a spider's web, until Coming to the point.

"Thanks to the great general, regardless of previous suspicions, and doing all he can to save his life, Gan Ning has nothing to repay him for saving his life, and he is willing to serve the general with his own body. From then on, Gan Ning is willing to be a pawn and let the general dictate, begging the general to help him A chance to swear allegiance to the death!"

"Oh, Xingba wants to work for me?" Li Li looked at Gan Ning with a smile all over his face, and asked with a smile, "You really think it over, don't you regret it?"

"I implore the general to record it, the last general will swear allegiance to the lord!" Gan Ning replied without hesitation.

"In that case, Xingba stood up and spoke." Li Li nodded slightly, waved his hand to signal his soldiers to untie the ropes on Gan Ning, and said solemnly: "Appoint Gan Ning as a general to serve under Gao Shun's tent for the time being, and wait for this battle We will make other arrangements after it is over."

"Promise, the last general will take the order!" Gan Ning was overjoyed when he heard the words, and knelt down and bowed in a trance.

Thanks: book friends Hui Tailang aaa, qiuhuoshi, and 1999 have monthly ticket support, thank you!

The sun is setting and the night is filling the air.

A majestic pass stands between the high mountains, and the two armies face each other far away, but they never communicate with each other.

Under the same sky, separated by forty miles, while the pass was filled with joy and laughter, the scene in the Allied Dazhai was another scene.

The right side of the rear camp is near the foot of the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains. This is the camp of Sun Ce in the east of Jiangdong.

As night fell, a group of Jiangdong generals walked into the big tent quickly, and then took their seats after bowing and saluting.

After exchanging pleasantries, Cheng Pu took the lead and asked, "My lord just came back from Yuan Shaoshuai's camp. I wonder if the princes from all walks of life have any countermeasures?"

"Countermeasures? Hmph, what kind of countermeasures can a group of people who are intriguing, greedy for life and afraid of death have!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce spread his hands and snorted coldly with disdain, then shook his head in disappointment, and sighed softly, as if he had completely given up on the princes and allies.

"At the meeting of the princes just now, Zhang Yan suggested that the allied army retreat to Hedong County to rest and wait for next spring when the flowers bloom, and then cross the river to fight Li Li. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao immediately stood up and vetoed it. Cao Cao said that it is the midwinter season, and the water surface of the Yellow River It had already been frozen, which was not conducive for the army to cross the river, and the Allied Dazhai was too close to Hangu Pass, and Li Li would know immediately if there was any disturbance, so he sent an army of Xiliang iron cavalry to hunt down and kill them; therefore, now is not the best time to cross the river. We can only continue to garrison the original camp in Loudi, and we will make further calculations in the coming year."

"As a result, Yuan Shao also agreed with Cao Cao's proposal, and agreed that the allied forces should continue to stay in place. He hung up the card of exemption from battle and strengthened the defense of the camp to prevent the Xiliang army from leaving the pass to attack. In addition, Lu Bu took the initiative to invite Ying to lead his troops to attack Xu Rong in Xingyang. Open up an escape route in case of emergency."

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang frowned after hearing Sun Ce's description of the princes' discussions, with deep worries on their faces.

After a while, Cheng Pu said in a low voice, helpless: "So, don't we have to stay in the allied army camp, unable to get out?"

Before the words were finished, Huang Gai said angrily: "Get out at this time. How easy is it? What's more, Li Zei has no faith in his words and betrays his righteousness. He is really the most shameless and despicable untrustworthy villain in the world!

As early as the Battle of Dongyuan City.Thief Li said that when the first snow falls this winter, it will be the day when the imperial edict will be given to the lord.Three months have now passed.There have been five heavy snowfalls, and the end of the year is coming soon, and there is still no sign of the imperial edict.If there is no imperial edict, even if we can break away from the allied forces, what is the use and what can we do? "

Speaking of this, Huang Gai was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.Out of anger, he cursed loudly: "Before, I thought that Thief Li was a great general in the imperial court. He has a great reputation and is known for his integrity. He keeps his promises and keeps his words. He will never renege on his promises and become fat. You've all been mistaken. Thief Li is in vain for the great general of the hussars. Shameless!"

"Uh!" Cheng Pu and Han Dang were surprised to see Huang Gai being so angry, but then they were also filled with righteous indignation like Huang Gai, and couldn't contain their anger.

It is true that although Huang Gai's words were ugly and scolded Li Li bloody, they were also true.

So far, none of them have seen Li Li send someone secretly to seal Sun Ce's edict, which shows that Li Li has indeed broken his promise, and he and others have been deceived by him.Without the imperial edict in hand, what can they do?

Although all states and counties in the world have now become independent and independent, and they don't pay attention to the emperor at all; however, there are also many officials and gentry who are still loyal to the big man, and there are not a few of them.Especially in Yangzhou, which is quite affluent in the south of the Yangtze River, the gentry and tyrants value reputation and fame very much in their bones. They believe in orthodoxy, and only with imperial edicts in hand can they gain their approval and help.

If Sun Jian was alive, even if there was no imperial edict, he would still be able to get the support of some Jiangdong nobles and clans, and then gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong.Because Sun Jian has enough prestige and prestige, enough to convince a considerable number of tyrants and gentry, so they are willing to support Sun Jian to achieve a great cause.Relatively speaking, although Sun Ce was also born in Jiangdong, and he was also the eldest son of Sun Jian; but it is a pity that Sun Ce is too young, his reputation is not obvious, and his reputation is not enough. It will help him establish a foothold in Jiangdong and achieve great things.

Therefore, the imperial edict, which is worthless in the eyes of many powerful princes, is very important to Sun Ce. Whether he can achieve a great success and gain a foothold in Jiangdong depends on this edict.As long as the edict is in hand, Sun Ce can justifiably leave Yuan Shu and lead his troops to Jiangdong to take office without being criticized, let alone being regarded as an untrustworthy villain who betrayed the mastermind.At the same time, after seeing Sun Ce's imperial edict, the gentry and powerful people in Jiangdong would not openly resist Sun Ce's foothold in Jiangdong even if they were unwilling to help Sun Ce.Only in this way can Sun Ce stay in Jiangdong, and then gradually realize his ambitions step by step.

Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others did not really realize the importance of the imperial edict before, and they even thought that the edict was just a small scroll of brocade with dragon patterns, dispensable and insignificant.It was not until Liu Bei, who occupied Xuzhou, led an army of 10,000 to join the Allied Forces uninvited, and provided [-]+ stone grain and grass to the Allied Forces to help the Allied Forces overcome the food and grass crisis, that Cheng Pu and others really realized the edict of the Son of Heaven The importance of this paper, and truly saw the power of a piece of paper that was despised by them.

Why did Liu Bei come here?At first, the princes from all walks of life did not know what was going on, but only Yuan Shao and Cao Cao knew it well.However, after Liu Bei voluntarily donated 10,000+ stone grain and grass to the allied forces, the princes of all towns knew his true purpose.It turned out that Liu Bei donated so generously to help the Allied Forces not to defeat Li Li and his Xiliang Army, but to ask for an imperial edict granting him Xuzhou Mu.Maybe Liu Bei has other unknown intentions, but the imperial edict is undoubtedly the top priority, and other intentions are secondary.
