"That's all, everyone is welcome to sit down." Li Li in the hall nodded slightly, and waved his hands to signal everyone to stand up and take their seats.

His deep eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, Li Li nodded slightly to Zhuge Liang who was standing on the left, and then he picked up the letter on the desk and started to read it without saying a word.

Zhuge Liang understood immediately after seeing this, so he spread out the bamboo slips he had prepared long ago, and said loudly: "Adhering to the edict of the former emperor, the military and state affairs are entrusted to General Li, so the general will patrol the hunting on behalf of the sky and take the power of rewards and punishments. My lord General order, seal Liu Zhang"

After reading this, Zhuge Liang's tone paused, and he cast his eyes on Liu Zhang, who was below the steps, with intriguing eyes.Immediately, Liu Zhang was stunned, his whole body trembled slightly, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks, as if he still wanted to pretend to be reserved, and he still wanted to stand and accept Li Li's award, which should be "charity" to be precise.However, when he saw Zhuge Liang's burning eyes, he couldn't help lowering his "noble head", took a step forward, then knelt down, with his forehead pressed against the mahogany floor, waiting for the reward.

At this moment, Li Li, who was flipping through the slips, raised his eyelids slightly, and glanced at Liu Zhang, who was kneeling down in the hall. indifferent.

Just as Li Li put down the letter, Zhuge Liang continued to read: "Liu Zhang was granted the title of Marquis of Yong'an, a first-class scholar of the Taiyuan Academy, a mansion, 20 maids, 30 retinues, 30 handymen, and 100 soldiers. Order Yong'an Hou to set off for Chang'an immediately, and not to leave Beijing without an edict!"

"My minister pays homage to the late emperor for his generous gift, and thanks to the great general for his gift, Liu Zhang takes orders!"

After bowing his head and prostrating, Liu Zhang bowed to take the "edict" from Zhuge Liang, then saluted Li Li who was writing at his desk, and then turned and walked out of the main hall.At the gate of the main hall, a soldier holding his seal had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw him come out, he quickly followed him. The carriage was also prepared outside the gate of the mansion. Liu Zhang's family members were all standing beside the carriage, and the accompanying belongings had been left. Load up the car.

When Liu Zhang and his family got into the carriage, the soldier in charge of Liu Zhang's seal waved his hand lightly. A hundred soldiers escorted him around, and a group of five carriages set off after him, heading straight for the north gate.

It is worth mentioning that at this moment, there is a thousand-man cavalry team waiting there outside the north gate. Only when Liu Zhang and others are all present, they set off for Chang'an.

Watching Liu Zhang leave, Zhuge Liang didn't stop, picked up a scroll of letters from the attendant next to him, and read aloud: "I ordered Zhao Wei to be Yushi Zhongcheng, and I bestowed the title of Jue An Township, and gave the mansion, maids, retinues, and miscellaneous servants 20 each. People, a hundred soldiers, go to Chang'an immediately."

"Zhang Song served as the chief of the general's mansion, received the gift from Cao Jian, and bestowed it on the Marquis of Guannei; promoted Wu Yi to be General Pingnan, and the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, and gave it to Marquis of Guannei; For the gift of Cao Cao"

As Zhuge Liang's words fell, apart from Wu Yi and Zhang Ren, the rest of the more than ten officials all knelt down and left. They followed Liu Zhang and took their family members to the north gate in a carriage. After meeting Liu Zhang Let's go to Chang'an together.

It is worth noting that, except for Liu Zhang, the rest of the people have no additional restrictions, and the rewards are quite generous, and the treatment is generous.Especially Zhang Song, he was promoted in a real sense this time, which is no different from entering the court as an official and becoming a close minister next to Li Li.And Wu Yi is the only general among the generals in Yizhou who has obtained an official rank comparable to that of the Jiuqing, thus fulfilling Li Li's previous promise to him. official.

At noon, Li Li rushed to Changle Garden and had lunch with Ren Hongchang, Mengxin, Wu Cheng and other girls.This was the first time in Changle Garden that he had dinner with all the girls again after more than half a month.

An hour ago, the soldiers had informed Wu Cheng of this matter in advance, so the girls got busy immediately after hearing the news, carefully preparing a table of extremely sumptuous lunch, quite like serving the king.

That's exactly what happened.As far as Ren Hongchang, He Ying and others knew, the voices in Chang'an City to persuade Li Li to become king and emperor became louder and louder every day.

As early as three years ago when Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty died, many officials in Chang'an City jointly signed a petition, requesting that Li Li Chengtian accept his order and become king.When Li Li's class returned to Chang'an last year, the civil and military members under his command were very enthusiastic. More than [-]% of the civil servants and military generals jointly signed a petition to persuade Li Li to become the emperor and rule the world.

This time, the great victory in the conquest of Yizhou, presumably the voice of admonishment and proclaiming the emperor is stronger than in the past, just like a mountain roaring and a tsunami being unstoppable.After witnessing the previous two situations of proclaiming himself emperor, Ren Hongchang and the others could imagine how violently their husband's subordinates and generals urged him to become emperor, even in Yizhou thousands of miles away. Chang'an City was overturned.

Li Li forcibly suppressed the previous two calls to support the advance, but this time he might not be able to suppress it.In this way, after Li Li returns to Chang'an, he will at least be promoted to the throne, and the most likely thing is to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

As Li Li's wives and concubines, Ren Hongchang, He Ying, Meng Xin and other five daughters are not vain women, but they are sincerely happy for their husband, proud of his achievements, and hope that their husband will end soon. In the troubled times, clarify the world, rule the world, fulfill the long-cherished wish, and achieve the eternal hegemony of the past and the present.

Because of this, when Li Li got off his horse and walked into Changle Garden, his eyes suddenly brightened.But I saw Mengxin, Ren Hongchang, He Ying, Ma Yunluo, Xiao Qiao and Wu Cheng standing in a row and greeted each other in splendid attire.For a moment, Li Li was dazzled, as if he was in the midst of blooming flowers, a hundred flowers blooming, competing for beauty.Mengxin is like an orchid in an empty valley, sisters Ren Hongchang and He Ying are lotus flowers with parallel stalks, Ma Yunluo is bold and unrestrained like a fiery red rose, Xiao Qiao is gentle and graceful like a lotus emerging from water, and the beautiful and graceful Wu Amaranth is The beautiful peony in bud.

Suddenly, Li Li was deeply amazed, his expression was in a trance, and he was fascinated and drunk

Chapter 177

At the luncheon, Li Li whetted his appetite and ate heartily, living up to the wishes of Mengxin and others.

For more than 20 days, although Li Li and them were not far apart, they didn't even have time to see them. They were immersed in tedious military and political affairs and had no time for others.

As a result, eating a safe and stable meal like today seems extremely rare and hard-won.

It's pretty much the norm.

For a long time, Li Li had to deal with extremely heavy affairs every day. The desk was piled up with letters that needed to be dealt with urgently. As long as he sat down for a whole day, he had no time to take care of his wife and concubines.Unless Li Li deliberately spared time to accompany them, he had no free time at all, and even having a meal with them was a luxury.

Looking at the gorgeous attires of Mengxin, Ren Hongchang and other five girls, Li Li felt that they should have something to say, so he did not leave after the banquet, but walked with them in the garden.

"I heard that my husband is mobilizing soldiers and horses, and I will send troops to conquer the southern barbarians soon?"

The husband and wife are one, Li Li's prediction is very accurate.After the group of seven sat down in the pavilion, Mengxin asked softly while pouring tea for him.

When Mengxin spoke, Ren Hongchang, He Ying, and Rong'er and the five daughters sat aside and listened quietly without interrupting.Obviously, they still abide by the etiquette of not participating in political affairs as before, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, but they also have something they want to know, so they use Mengxin's special identity to ask Li Li for confirmation.This can not only satisfy their curiosity, but also avoid taboos, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.The reason why Mengxin has a special status.Not only because she is deeply favored by Li Li, but also because she is the oldest.She is the well-deserved elder sister among all the girls, but the most important thing is that she has no status.Relatively independent.Therefore, Mengxin can talk to Li Li without restraint, and ask some questions without any scruples.

It is worth mentioning that since Li Li brought them to Chengdu, Mengxin's disciple Rong'er has been by her side. Except for some special nights, she almost never leaves Mengxin's side, so that Li Li has already gotten used to it. Without her existence, even the private conversation between husband and wife does not avoid her, as if they regard her as a family.

To this.Li Li was quite surprised at first, and clearly felt that Mengxin seemed to be particularly fond of Rong'er, a beautiful-looking, hot-figured, and weirdly dressed student who entered the house, and she was with him like a shadow, day and night.Although the two are called masters and apprentices, they are actually like sisters, so that Li Li once speculated wretchedly whether Mengxin and Rong'er had some kind of special relationship, or special hobbies.But after a long period of observation, Li Li found that he was thinking too much.The relationship between Mengxin and Rong'er is very pure, that is, a master-student and a sister, there is no such dirty thing as he imagined.

At the same time, Rong'er looks beautiful.The dress is open and bold, coupled with the hot figure, it looks very seductive.And cheerful, innocent.He has a boldness like a man, and he is generous when talking to Li Li.Not restrained at all.Over time, Li Li accepted her existence unknowingly, and regarded her as a member of the family just like waking up from a dream.

Therefore, for the past year, Rong'er has been living with the couple.It stands to reason that she is Mengxin's disciple, equivalent to a personal maid, and should be a retinue, but in reality she is not.Under Mengxin's intentional matchmaking, Rong'er, Ren Hongchang, Xiao Qiao and the other four have a very good relationship. They are as close as sisters, and they have already become best friends who talk about everything.So Rong'er often eats with Li Li and his wife and lives under the same roof. The only difference is that she usually doesn't show up at night, showing the reserve that a girl should have.Even so, she still ran into Li Li, Meng Xin and other five girls who were friends with each other repeatedly, and even ran into the absurd thing that Li Li and his wife were sleeping together.

Today, Rong'er has long been familiar with the intimate scenes between Li Li and his wife, and has a strong immunity.Just like at this moment, she clearly saw Li Li pressing his magic palm on Mengxin's plump buttocks when Mengxin got up to pour tea, doing something wrong, but she pretended not to know, her pretty face was blushing, and she bowed shyly. She shook her head, but couldn't help but sneak a glance at Li Li's extremely restless big hand, and her tender body felt inexplicably hot.And the reason why she was able to discover Li Li's small movements at the first time was because she was next to Meng Xin, so that Li Li's wandering fingers inadvertently touched the skin on her waist.

Unlike Mengxin, who was wearing a brocade dress and a long skirt, Rong'er didn't like long skirts, or she wasn't used to wearing Han women's skirts.Especially in midsummer, her dress is very refreshing. Her upper body is a sleeveless soft armor, which can only cover her huge and tall breasts and belly button, exposing her slender waist; her lower body is still a short skirt of soft armor. The short skirt is similar to the hip-length skirt that Li Li is familiar with. It shows her round and slender legs to the fullest, so that she must pay special attention to her sitting posture when she sits down. If she is not careful, she will lose all her clothes, which will easily attract the prying eyes of some perverts.

It is precisely because Rong'er's dress is different from that of ordinary women that no matter where she goes, she will become the focus of men's attention, feasting the eyes of all perverts.Perhaps it is because she often feels the hot eyes of the opposite sex, which makes Rong'er distressed and disgusted, which makes her seldom go out, and usually stays by Mengxin's side, with Ren Hongchang, Xiao Qiao and others.

In this way, Li Li is the only pervert who can really feast his eyes.Maybe Mengxin, Ren Hongchang and the other five girls never noticed, but every time Li Li talked to Rong'er or had close contact with her, he would be extra excited at night, and his desire was extremely strong, and he repeatedly tossed the five of them all night long, demanding endlessly, Do your best.

However, what Li Li didn't know was that he thought Mengxin and the others were unaware of this, but they didn't know that they knew it well, and repeatedly used Rong'er to stimulate him cleverly, and then indulged in pleasure.This kind of thing is unimaginable in later generations, so Li Li has been kept in the dark, but he doesn't know that Ren Hongchang, He Ying and other five girls don't mind him secretly peeping at Rong'er's devilish figure, and instead guide him well , making the couple more affectionate and closer.

At this moment, when Li Li took advantage of Mengxin's opportunity, Mengxin, who had her big buttocks attacked, seemed to be used to it, but her delicate face changed slightly, she gave Li Li a charming look, and immediately continued to show her love to others as usual. The sisters poured the tea, and there was no abnormality on their pretty faces.This surprised Rong'er, who was secretly watching her, but unexpectedly she was affected immediately. Li Li's unruly palm touched the sensitive skin of her waist from time to time, making her feel hot and confused.Perhaps under the influence of Mengxin, Rong'er, who was attacked by her slender waist, didn't make a sound, but consciously opened a distance to avoid Li Li's finger with infinite magic power.

Just as Mengxin sat down slowly, for some reason she pulled Rong'er who was avoiding it deliberately, causing the pair of magic palms hidden under the table to suddenly fall on Rong'er's hips.

"Ahhh!" Suddenly, Rong'er screamed in surprise, stood up abruptly, and Li Li, who had touched the wrong person, also moaned in a low voice, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face that had long been calm, and instantly withdrew his left hand, pointing He drank tea from a teacup to cover up the strange look on his face.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Seeing Rong'er standing up suddenly with a blushing face, Xiao Qiao asked in surprise.

"No,,, it's nothing, you guys sit down for now, and the younger sister will leave first." Rong'er said perfunctorily, then turned and left.The moment she left the gazebo, she turned her head and glanced at Li Li, who had made her embarrassing in public, just in time to meet Li Li's apologetic gaze, and her four eyes met in the air.Looking at each other for a moment, Li Li understood her complicated eyes, which seemed to be angry, questioning, and somewhat resentful.

In an instant, Rong'er looked back timidly, and then ran away, quickly leaving everyone's sight.

Watching Rong'er leave the backyard in a panic, Ren Hongchang, Wu Cheng and the other five girls cast their eyes on Li Li in unison. Their eyes were full of playfulness, as if they all knew what Li Li did to the little girl just now.But they pretended to be surprised in front of Rong'er, but after Rong'er left, they had an expression of understanding.It's really worthy of being a couple who have slept together in the same bed for many years. They cooperate very tacitly, and they understand each other without words.

"Hehehe!" Seeing the girls staring at him, Li Li smiled coyly, diverted their attention immediately, and said with a smile: "Although Yizhou is now occupied and all the counties and vassal states under Yizhou's jurisdiction are recovered, this does not It does not mean that Yizhou will enjoy long-term peace and stability from now on. Yizhou has a large population, rich products, and a vast territory. It is the first of the Han states, and it is also the most ideal and stable rear base. Therefore, I plan to let Li Xian stay here for a long time until the world is unified. But if we want Yizhou to have long-term stability, we must eliminate the barbarian tribes in the southwest. Therefore, it is imperative to conquer the southern barbarians. After the situation is completely stabilized, we will march westward. , to pacify the southern barbarians."

When talking about serious matters, Li Li's expression was firm, his eyes were deep, the embarrassment on his face quickly faded away, and there was no more charming thoughts in his heart, and his righteousness was awe-inspiring.This scene made Mengxin, Ren Hongchang and other five girls secretly heartbroken. They looked at Li Li with soft eyes, and the eyes were full of brilliance, showing their hearts swaying and obsessed.This is what Li Li attracts them the most, what fascinates them the most, and it is also the direct reason why they can tolerate all Li Li's faults and unrestrained flair.Think what he thinks, love what he loves, as long as he is happy, they are willing to give everything, even if he is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, they don't mind.

This is because in this society where men are superior to women, the best men are almost invariably surrounded by wives and concubines. It is useless to be jealous and excluded. It backfires and easily loses everything and has nothing.Therefore, the upper-class women in this era almost have to learn to tolerate their men, they must be graceful, gentle and considerate.Gentleness, consideration and tolerance are just one of the basic conditions that a classical Chinese woman must possess.

Chapter 178 Huazhiqiao, Nanzhong Raiders

As the evening approaches, there is a cool breeze blowing in the gazebo in the back garden, and the fragrance of flowers in the evening wind is refreshing and pleasant.

"The concubine has heard what my husband said, so I can fully understand it. But, how much does my husband know about the Nanman tribe?" After hearing Li Li's affirmative answer, Meng Xin asked softly.

Only then did Li Li notice that Meng Xin and Wu Cheng, who were asking softly, frowned slightly, their expressions were a little dignified, and they seemed to be preoccupied and helpless.Obviously, the two of them lived in Yizhou for a long time and knew something about the situation of the Nanman tribe, even more than Li Li knew, so they were not optimistic about the expedition to the Nanman tribe and were deeply worried about it.

Seeing the different expressions of Mengxin and Wu Cheng, Li Li frowned slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Since the recovery of Hanzhong, I have ordered people to infiltrate Nanzhong to inquire about the news. It has been three years. According to detailed reports , there are many barbarian tribes in the southwest, and there are no fewer than one hundred tribes listed. Among them, the Vulcan Zhurong tribe, the Nanzhong Meng tribe, the 21 cave masters in the west, and the 36 villages are the most powerful.

These tribes vary in size, and the population and strength of each tribe vary greatly, ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Currently, they are still in a state of chaos, like a mess of scattered sand.A single tribe's power is not enough, the weapons and armor are extremely simple, and their combat effectiveness is not strong, but once they are united, they will have a large number of people, and their strength cannot be underestimated. "

While speaking, Li Li paused and sighed in a low voice: "At present, there are many difficulties facing our army. Generally speaking, there are three major difficulties. First, the places where the Nanman live are mostly mountain forests. The terrain is complex and changeable. These terrain conditions are not conducive to the marching of the army. It is especially unfavorable for war cavalry to participate in the battle. Second, the weather is hot and humid. Most of our soldiers are young and strong in the north.

The third, and the biggest obstacle before us, is the miasma that can kill people.Most of the Nanman tribes chose to settle in places with high mountains and dense forests, occupied dangerous places to build camps, and spread traps around the tribe.Moreover, the jungle is filled with poisonous miasma all the year round.There are many poisonous insects and fierce beasts, and there are many unknown dangers, and unpredictable crises may be encountered at any time.Therefore, this expedition to the Southern Barbarians can be described as murderous at every step, and it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, your troops will be lost, and the entire army may even be wiped out. "
