"I didn't expect Ling'er to have such skills. It really impressed my husband. If I knew that your skills are so good, I would let you rub them for me every day, so that I would not be dizzy and uncomfortable when I read the slips every day." I closed my eyes. , Smelling Zhuge Ling's refreshing body fragrance, Li Li smiled knowingly.

Zhuge Ling smiled sweetly, "My husband is too much. My uncle is getting old, and he often handles government affairs late like my husband. After sitting for a long time, it will inevitably cause dizziness, backache and back pain. I can't share my uncle's worries. To be able to rub his shoulders, pat his back, and do what he can do is just a little bit of filial piety."

Li Li nodded slightly, then sat up straight, opened his eyes, put his arms around Zhuge Ling's slender waist, and let her sit in his arms.Zhuge Ling's pretty face was flushed, she turned her head to look at the door of the big tent, she was relieved after confirming that she didn't come in, and then picked up the ginseng soup in the tray.Feed Li Li to drink spoon by spoon.

Seeing that Zhuge Ling blew lightly every mouthful of ginseng soup, Li Li smiled and shook his head, then took the porcelain bowl.Drink it dry in one gulp.

"Husband drink slowly, don't burn it." Zhuge Ling stared worriedly at Li Li who was wolfing down, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wiped off the soup on the corner of the man's mouth.

"Mmm, it's delicious!" Swallowing the last sip of ginseng soup, Li Li put down the soup bowl and hugged Zhuge Ling's waist with both hands.She laughed and said: "Ling'er is really a rare good woman, she is clever, she knows that if she wants to grab a man's heart, she must first grab the man's stomach, uh. I made a slip of the tongue, pretend I didn't say anything. Hehehe! "Hanhan smiled, Li Li lost his mind when he was happy, and inadvertently exposed his gluttony.He also pointed out a clear path to Zhuge Ling.A trick to take down General Lee.

"Hehehe!" Zhuge Ling smiled sweetly, but did not speak. She stared at him affectionately with her bright eyes, and then leaned against his chest, her pretty face full of sweet smiles.

"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you. Ten days ago, I sent someone to deliver the betrothal gift of engagement and the dowry of marriage to your uncle's house. I think that in a few days, his old man and your elder brother Zhuge Jin will come to see you." Come to Luoyang to attend our wedding. Kong Ming told me in advance. He will not come on the wedding day. He will definitely arrive when his nephew is born next year. I hope you don’t mind and don’t blame him.” Li Li smiled road.

Zhuge Ling was so shy when she heard the words, she murmured "Mmm", and after a while she calmed down and said softly, "Isn't this wedding a bit out of order? It's too extravagant to make such a fuss. If you let the sisters I see, will they be unhappy? In fact, as long as the concubine can follow her husband and serve her husband, she will be satisfied, other things are not important, there is no need to do it so grandly."

"Ling'er is worrying too much. I didn't give you the title of wife, but in my heart, you are all my wives, there is no distinction between wives and concubines. Every woman in my Li Li has a wedding. The concubine's room must be held more grandly, so as compensation, I can't let you suffer a little bit of grievance, otherwise I will be incompetent." After speaking, Li Li smiled slightly, and kissed her forehead lightly, knowing it in his heart.

Indeed, this time Zhuge Ling was only added as a concubine, and it is reasonable to not do anything wantonly. He only needs to bring his parents and elders to the mansion, and hold an initiation ceremony under the witness of the main room. He is not qualified to pay homage to Li Li at all.Nowadays, the concubines of the great officials and dignitaries of the Han Dynasty are actually not much different from the maidservants, they just occupy the title of the concubine's room, other than that, they are no different from the maidservants.

However, Li Li's treatment of concubines is different, completely contrary to the etiquette and law, and he acts according to his will.All his concubines and his main wife are almost exactly the same except for the difference in status, they are treated equally and never favor one over another.Every concubine's room has the same wedding as the main room, and there are a lot of three matchmakers and six hires. The parents, elders and relatives of the concubine's room are treated exactly the same as the main room, and there is no distinction between priority and inferiority.

In addition, the treatment of wives and concubines after marriage is also treated equally, including children.Nowadays, Li Li has many children. They were raised by their mothers when they were young, and they were not allowed to be handed over to others. When they were four years old, the brothers and sisters would study together and get along day and night without their mothers. living together.Only during holidays or when Li Li was in the mansion, the children could be with their mother, and the whole family got together, which was very lively.This is the rule set by Li Li. As for why he did this, he never mentioned it to any of his women. Only he himself knows the real intention of doing so.

??

After a gentle night, a new day dawns.

In the morning of the next day, the fast horse sent five good news one after another. After reading it, Li Li was in a good mood and laughed heartily.

The battle in Qinglongying went smoothly. In just half a month, the counties of Henan County were recovered one after another. Currently, the remnants of the stubborn forces are being wiped out. It is expected that the entire territory of Henan County will be recovered within ten days.

The Feixiong heavy armored cavalry took over the counties around Luoyang very smoothly, and almost encountered no decent resistance. The army surrendered wherever they went.

Bocai's [-] infantry troops went up the mountain to suppress the bandits, which was quite troublesome.Within a radius of [-] miles around Luoyang, there are more than ten gangs of thieves and bandits. The banditry in other counties and counties can be imagined, and these bandits fled after learning that the Xiliang army was dispatched to suppress them. They hid in the mountains and did not dare to show their faces , which made it more difficult to suppress bandits.Fortunately, Bo Cai, General Zhendong, was not given in vain.Change the suppression of bandits to the recruitment of thieves and bandits, post posters, and let soldiers go up the mountain to shout.Summon the thieves and rogues hiding in the mountains.

Sure enough, this method is very effective. Every day, hundreds of bandits go down the mountain and actively cooperate with the collection.Afterwards, Bocai ordered their weapons to be confiscated, some brave warriors were selected to stay in the army, and the rest of the thieves were sent to Luoyang City to serve as laborers;Those who behave badly will not be paid, and until they behave themselves, all thieves who try to abscond will be beheaded.

to this day.The soldiers and horses from all walks of life are progressing smoothly, and by the end of the month, the entire territory of Sili will be recovered and the banditry will be eliminated.Since then, Sili has been completely under the rule of Li Li, and has been integrated with Yongzhou, Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Shuozhou and Hanzhong.Unified decree.No more discrimination.

"Tom tom tom!"

The sound of quick and brisk footsteps came into the commander's tent, and Li Li, who was writing at his desk, looked up when he heard the sound, but seeing Guo Jia and Jia Xu walking in with happy faces, it seemed that there was good news.

"Brisk walking, happy brows, it seems that Feng Xiao and Wen He are announcing the good news!" Before Guo Jia and Jia Xu bowed to salute, Li Li got up from the commander-in-chief and walked down the hall.While smiling authentically.

"Hehehe!" Guo Jia and Jia Xu were slightly startled when they heard the words, and then they looked at each other and smiled.After bowing to the salute, Jia Xu smiled all over his face and said, "My lord is getting more and more powerful. I am admirable for the prophet!" He bowed his hands, pretending to bow down, and Li Li and Guo Jia couldn't help laughing loudly.

After laughing out loud, Jia Xu restrained his smile a little, and said with a smile: "This time, Wei Chen and Feng Xiao brought a piece of news, one good and one bad. I don't know which one the lord wants to hear first?"

Li Li raised his hand to signal the two of them to sit down, so he sat at the first place on the left side of the hall, turned his head to Jia Xu, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "Wen He has always cherished words like gold, and his reports on military and political affairs are always concise and to the point, why is he so unpredictable today?" ? It can be seen that Wen He is in a good mood. If I am not wrong, the bad news is what Wen He wants to report, but the bad news is not too bad. Is it so, Wen He?"

"My lord Mingjian, that is indeed the case." Jia Xu seemed not surprised, and agreed happily.

Li Li nodded and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, great joy and great sorrow are the most tormenting people. I'd better listen to the bad news brought by Wen He first."

When Jia Xu heard the words, he would not betray him anymore, and replied: "My lord, an imperial edict has been issued in Jizhou, and the capital will be officially moved to Yecheng in Jizhou two months later, on the fifth day of June. Watch the ceremony in Yecheng, and have an audience with the emperor." While speaking, Jia Xu shook his sleeves, and a scroll slipped from his sleeve pockets and landed on his hands, and he handed them to Li Li for a look.

Spreading out the bamboo slips casually, Li Li glanced at ten lines, and after a short while read the edict, with a pensive look on his face, he gently rolled up the bamboo slips and threw them on the table in front of him.

After a while, he chuckled with a smile on his face and said: "This is expected, not surprising. The emperor returned to Hebei, so naturally he had to choose another imperial capital, re-establish the imperial court, and order the world. However,,, Yuan Shao blatantly The publicity of this matter is obviously aimed at me, Li Li, to test whether I will send troops to attack Jizhou immediately.

At the same time, this move is also to clearly and unmistakably inform the princes from all walks of life that the person in charge of the world is no longer Li Li, but Yuan Benchu.As a result, the princes of the towns were faced with a major decision, and from now on, whether to use him as Yuan Shao's leader or to stand on the sidelines.The taste of temptation is very strong.It can be seen that Yuan Benchu ​​is full of ambition and ambitious now! "

Jia Xu agreed with a smile: "My lord's words are very true. According to detailed reports, Yecheng is currently undergoing large-scale construction projects, expanding and repairing Yuan Shao's mansion, and changing the Cheqi General's Mansion into an imperial palace. The construction will be completed within two months. The ceremony of moving the capital was held. However, at present, the lord is stationed in Luoyang and sent troops to recover the whole territory of Sili. Although Sili and Jizhou are still separated by Yanzhou Chenliu County, our army has stationed heavy troops in Hanoi County and Bingzhou Shangdang. Yuan Shao was very apprehensive, lest our army would attack Jizhou in a big way. So he issued an edict two months in advance, the purpose of which was to test the lord, so that he could take precautions in advance if there was any change in our army, so as not to be caught off guard.

As for whether Yuan Shao's coercion of the emperor to make the princes succeed, and how much influence it will have on the princes of the towns, I am deeply skeptical about this, or hold a negative attitude.Before that, there was already beautiful jade in front, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou was just picking up people's wisdom.Even with the Son of Heaven in hand, how big a wave can it cause? "

Li Li nodded slightly, and said with a smile to Jia Xu and Guo Jia: "Nowadays, there is only one emperor in the Great Han Dynasty, and rare things are the most precious! Take the emperor to command the princes, and lash out at Fang Qiu, powerful and powerful. The heart is surging, the blood is boiling, and I am intoxicated. It seems that this time we are playing smart and shooting ourselves in the foot, and let the tiger make trouble!"

"Will the tiger be a trouble?" Guo Jia murmured, shook his head inscrutablely, and said with a smile: "If it is said that the establishment of another imperial capital in Jizhou is a trouble for the tiger, then the good news that I want to report to the lord is The plan to let the tiger go back to the mountain has been accomplished. The tiger in northern Xinjiang has really become a dragon in the river, stirring up the situation in the Central Plains."

"Let the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Li Li groaned suspiciously, and for a moment couldn't remember which tiger he had let go.

Speaking of which, today, there are not a few tigers that have escaped from Li Li's hands.Leaving aside the centipede that is now running to Jizhou, Li Li just watched the princes of the Central Plains come domineeringly and leave in disgrace during the Sili war.During this period, there were three perfect opportunities to get rid of the three princes, but they missed the opportunity and sat back and watched the princes escape from Sili and return to the station.

In the battle of Feiyundu, Cao Cao, whose entire army was wiped out, escaped alone.In the Battle of Anyi, Jiangdong Sun Ce was imprisoned and became a trapped beast. In the end, he broke out of the siege and escaped.On the banks of the Baima River, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were already shocked by Zhao Yun's gun, and they could be killed by turning their palms. In the end, Zhao Yun waved his big hand and turned his handsome face, and Liu Bei ran away.

In the battle of Wancheng not long ago, if Li Li led the army to attack Wancheng at all costs, the seven princes who gathered in Wancheng would definitely be difficult to retreat.Even if you can't get rid of all the princes, no matter how bad it is, you can kill one or two, thus changing the situation in the world again.

If all these missed opportunities are added up, it means that at least four to five princes fell into Li Li's hands, either beheaded or captured alive.It's a pity that these great opportunities in front of us have been missed again and again, watching the princes slip away one after another, and then grow bigger day by day, raising tigers to cause trouble, causing endless disasters.

At this moment, when Guo Jia mentioned the sensitive word "Let the tiger go back to the mountain" again, Li Li couldn't help being a little dazed, with a dazed expression, and really couldn't remember which prince who had escaped.

Li Li recalled some things in the past while his mind was in a hurry.Although there are many princes who escaped from his hands, there are very few princes who were actually released by him.Jiangdong Sun Ce was released by Zhou Yu, and Liu Bei was lenient by Zhao Yun's subordinates.Cao Cao was able to escape from death at Feiyundu, it was his luck, and his life should not die.During the Wancheng dispute, the seven princes retreated completely. It was for long-term strategic considerations and taking into account the safety of the Zhuge family, so they stood still.

After sorting it out, Li Li finally remembered that he had indeed let go of a prince himself.At that time, he was thinking of letting this northern border tiger go south to the Central Plains to act as a river dragon.Disturb the situation in the Central Plains, and seek opportunities for the Xiliang Army under his command to enter the Central Plains.The prince who was bought and released by him is

"Lv Bu Lu Fengxian!" After thinking for a while, Li Li suddenly called out the name of the northern border tiger that Guo Jia had mentioned.

Guo Jia nodded happily with a smile on his face.Said: "It is Lu Bu. According to reliable sources, after Lu Bu's defeat in Yanzhou, he thought about going to the lord, but he was worried that the lord would not take him in, so he took the opportunity to kill him. So he fled to Xuzhou with the remnants of the defeated army and asked Liu Bei to take him in. Then he lived in Xiaopei, and formed a corner with Liu Bei to support each other. After fleeing to Xuzhou, Lu Bu treated Liu Bei with sincerity. He had entertained Liu Bei many times, and invited Liu Bei to sit on the couch. Full of sincerity."

Hear here.Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Lv Bu actually invited Liu Bei to sit on the couch. He also asked his wife and concubine to salute Liu Bei. It is really enthusiastic. He does not treat Liu Bei as an outsider at all! Lu Bu is worthy of being a man in northern Xinjiang. He treats others Chicheng, it seems that he really wants to join forces with Liu Bei to do something great." When Li Li said these words, his expression was sympathetic and he sighed endlessly.

It is true that the wives and concubines of high-ranking officials and dignitaries usually do not see outsiders.The dormitory is an absolute forbidden place, except for myself and my wife and concubines, even my own children are not allowed to enter it.This is an inherent rule of the Han people. Although there is no explicit regulation, it is a family education etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it still exists after more than 1000 years.

Lu Bu treated Liu Bei with such enthusiasm, it was really beyond Li Li's expectation, it was eye-catching, and he sighed and sighed endlessly.

Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and agreed with a smile: "It's true, as my lord said, Lu Bu treated Liu Bei unsuspectingly at the beginning, with sincerity and heart-to-heart friendship. However, in many cases, it is right to treat people with sincerity, but others just don't appreciate it." That's another story."

After a pause, Guo Jia continued to say, "Lv Bu sincerely made friends with Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't like to see Lv Bu very much. The teasing made Lu Bu suffer a lot of humiliation, but Liu Bei turned a blind eye to it, turned a deaf ear to it, and turned a blind eye.

In the past, princes from all walks of life gathered in Wancheng. Lu Bu and Cao Cao were enemies who were extremely jealous when they met, but they had to temporarily put aside their hatred and gather together.During this period, Cao Cao repeatedly sneered at Lu Bu with his victorious posture, which made the princes of all towns burst into laughter, but Liu Bei stayed out of the matter and ignored it.Not only did he turn a deaf ear to the humiliation of Lu Bu, but he chatted and laughed happily with the princes, quite like adding insult to injury and gloating at other people's misfortunes.This made Lu Bu extremely chilled and filled with righteous indignation after being humiliated, but he was helpless.

Perhaps seeing that Liu Bei and Lu Bu were not on good terms, there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, who had been coveting the six counties of Xuzhou for a long time, deliberately postponed his departure from Wancheng for a day, so as to dispel Liu Bei's vigilance.Then, on the way Liu Bei led his troops back to Xuzhou, Yuan Shu assembled an army of [-] to sneak attack at night, killing more than [-] soldiers and horses under Liu Bei's command, and fled in a hurry.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were besieged by Yuan Shu's army and had to fight hard. They took the opportunity to escort the soldiers out of the siege and asked Lu Bu for help.Lu Bu prevaricated and instigated Liu Bei's soldiers to go to Xuzhou to ask Zhang Fei to send troops to help. Then Zhang Fei caught the trick and led his army to Yuzhou at night.However, Lu Bu followed Zhang Fei, took advantage of the situation, and sent his army to attack Xiapi City, and easily occupied Xuzhou. He then led Xuzhou Mu and the six counties of Xuzhou. "

"Uh!" Li Li was surprised when he heard the words, his eyes widened, a gloating smile appeared in his pupils, and he muttered: "Xuzhou was taken by Lu Bu? Tsk tsk tsk! Back then, Tao Qian entrusted the six counties of Xuzhou to Liu Bei, and personally handed over a man who was sent under the fence. How many princes in the world envy and hate the act of weaving mats and shoes on the throne of the princes! How long has it been, less than two years?" Li Li looked at Guo Jia with a smile on his face when his voice stopped suddenly.

Guo Jia smiled knowingly, and said, "One year and five months, the time is not too short."
