Xiaoqi

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Xun You and Gongsun Zan looked at each other, then nodded slightly in unison, obviously acquiescing to Guo Jia's speculation.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "It is precisely because my lord has become more calm and prudent in recent years, and I am not easy to get close to women, that makes this easy thing to do now extremely difficult. My lord will not let go or speak, and I will wait for you All sorts of plans are useless. Things that could have been settled easily have now become difficult. I have followed the lord for many years, and I know that although the lord understands righteousness, he is very assertive in certain matters and will not let go easily. Like taking concubines.

So just as the lord said just now, it is better to be a general than to be a general.Instead of persuading the lord to change his mind, it is better to change the method and directly anger the lord, which will make it easier to achieve the goal.As I expected, my lord was irritated, even though my lord told me what I meant.Looking at the world, there are very few princes who dare not to take the lord seriously. The prestige and reputation of the lord cannot be violated.Therefore, my lord, knowing that I used tricks such as aggressive generals, still agreed to this marriage.As long as the lord speaks out, this originally difficult matter will become simple, and everything will be solved easily. "

Xun You and Gongsun Zan thought deeply after hearing the words, and nodded their approval.Xun You walked lightly to Guo Jia's side, not without worry, he said, "Feng Xiao's heart of boxing is really admirable to my brother. But Feng Xiao has ever thought about how to explain it to the lord? Such taboo words like today , is actually a big taboo for us who are courtiers, and should not be touched easily, otherwise it will inevitably lead to murder.

I thought that from my brother's point of view, what Feng Xiao did just now made the lord very displeased, and he just forbeared it for the time being.In filial piety, you should know that being with the king is like being with a tiger. The master can tolerate the disadvantages of his subordinates, but he cannot tolerate the subordinates committing crimes.Therefore, Feng Xiao should go to plead guilty as soon as possible, otherwise he will say nothing for his brother, Feng Xiao wants to cherish himself. "

After speaking, Xun You didn't linger any longer, but quickly left the big tent and started to handle the matters Li Li ordered.

Guo Jia bowed his hands in thanks and watched Xun You leave.At this moment, Gongsun Zan walked up to him lightly, and said softly, "If you say a good word, the military advisor must not ignore it. Although the military advisor did this for the sake of the lord and has followed the lord for many years, since ancient times, the lord and minister are different. At any time, the military advisors are the lord's subjects. Even if the lord is broad-minded and careless about trifles, maintaining the majesty of the lord is the foundation of a minister. The general also recommends that the military advisors take the initiative to plead guilty, and it should be sooner rather than later, so as not to cause complications." Compared with Xun You An extremely veiled advice, Gongsun Zan's words are undoubtedly more straightforward, clearly and unmistakably expressing the deep meaning hidden in Xun You's words.

Guo Jia nodded slightly, then bowed and raised his hands to express his gratitude: "Thank you, General Gongsun, I will go to take the thorns and ask for forgiveness. General You Lao arranged for the army to withdraw from Lu Bu's camp and go to the east to set up camp."

"It's my duty to do so, and you don't have to be polite as a military advisor." Gongsun Zan returned the salute, cupping his hands.Immediately, the two walked out of the camp and commanded the army to move to the east camp. Gongsun Zan followed the army, while Guo Jia got on his horse and headed straight for the east camp with his own soldiers.

Chapter 001

It was still raining.There was a lot of drizzle, the north wind was blowing, and the severe cold swept across the Jianghuai land.

After the completion of the eastern camp, all the Xiliang iron cavalry who temporarily lived in Lu Bu's camp entered the eastern camp.

After noon, the follow-up soldiers and horses stranded on the north bank arrived at the camp one after another. So far, all the [-] troops from the Southern Expedition had assembled in Dongzhai.

The east and west camps are separated by two miles, and there are two groups of soldiers and horses from the Yuan League.Lv Bu's camp is located to the west, with more than [-] troops; to the east is the Xiliang Army camp, with [-] troops.

Originally, the two groups of people were quite close, and even the camps of the Xiliang Army were built with the help of Lu Bujun.However, following Xun You's sudden visit with a large amount of money, and a fierce dispute with Lv Bu in the hands of Lv Bu, the atmosphere of harmonious coexistence between the two armies suddenly became tense.

Later, Lu Bu, who was invited to the banquet, excused himself and did not attend the appointment, but Chen Gong brought some Xuzhou generals to the banquet.Coincidentally, Li Li, the head coach of the Xiliang Army, also did not show up at the banquet, and the military adviser Guo Jia entertained Chen Gong and his party on his behalf, accompanied by a group of Xiliang generals.

A banquet that was supposed to be lively broke up unhappily, which made the atmosphere of the two armies living next to each other more tense, and there was a tendency of turning against each other and drawing swords.

So far, there has been no contact between the soldiers of the two armies.For this reason, Lu Bu's camp also reinforced the camp, sent more soldiers to guard the camp, and sent additional scouts to patrol and guard day and night, as if they were always on guard against the Xiliang army's attack on the camp.

This tense situation lasted for three full days.On the fourth day, which was the deadline for Li Li to marry Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi, the tension between the two armies became extremely tense.From the dawn of the sky, even the air was full of murderous intent.A big battle is imminent and imminent.

Near noon, the autumn rain that had lasted for nearly 20 days suddenly stopped.The sky began to clear.Not long after, bright and beautiful rainbows traversed the sky and hung over the two camps. It was pleasing to the eye and made one's heart suddenly open. Everything seemed so beautiful.Seeing the battalion guards of the two armies exulted, the haze that had been squeezed for a long time was swept away.Can't help showing a knowing smile.

At this moment, the gate of Lu Bu's camp was suddenly opened, and red colored silk was hung on the gate.Immediately there was a loud gong and drum.Teams of cavalrymen wearing red silk drove out of the gate slowly, but stopped outside the gate.

The Xiliang army scouts who found out the news reported back quickly, and a moment later the gates of the camp in the east were also opened wide, with red silk and satin hanging on the gates.Even though it is daytime, no lights are needed.But there are still lights and festoons inside and outside the camp.It was a joyous sight.

About a quarter of an hour later, military adviser Guo Jia led a thousand cavalry and came straight to Lu Bu's camp with eight sedan chairs.

So far, a great battle has disappeared.The soldiers of the two armies who had no contact with each other reunited again, and became close and acquainted again. The two happy camps were unprecedentedly lively.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Li invited Lu Bu and his generals to the banquet again.In the end, Lu Bu brought all the generals to the scene.Li Li also appeared at the banquet.At the right time, the two armies, civil and military, gathered together.The toasts were staggered, and the guests drank happily, as if nothing had happened.

This is a silent psychological contest, the comparison is who has the stronger psychological quality and who is stronger.At the same time, this is also a political game. The winner wins everything, and the loser will not lose completely, but will have to pay the due price and lose the most precious thing.

Whether it is a psychological contest or a political game, what really determines the outcome is the strength of both sides.Strength determines success or failure, strength determines everything, and strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

After all, this is an era in which the strong are respected.

In the inner room of the large tent of the Chinese army, a cool breeze permeated in, the wind lanterns flickered slightly, and the curtains swayed slightly.The Chinese character "囍" with flying dragons and phoenixes is tied on the wooden wall in the north of the dormitory. The room is hung with red silk, red luan warm tents, and white jade hotbeds. The decoration is very warm.

Everything is the decoration of Li Li's past marriages and concubines, which remain unchanged. This is the inherent rule of Li Li's marriage.Therefore, this time, Lu Lingqi, the daughter of Lu Bu, still followed the usual practice. Xun You, who was in charge of preparing the wedding, specially asked Guo Jia for advice, and carefully decorated this joyful wedding room.

The Chinese Army Commander's Tent occupies a large area. In addition to the inner room of the wedding room connected to the Commander's Tent, there is also a door in the southeast corner of the inner room, which can lead to the dormitory behind the camp.There is also a dormitory there, and it is much larger than this wedding room. In addition, there is a side room where the accompanying maids live.

In the dormitory behind the commander's tent lived three wives and concubines of Li Li who came with the army, namely his wife Chen Yu, his concubine Xiao Qiao and Bu Lianshi.Therefore, this time Li Lili's army's southern expedition is different from the previous eastern expedition to Youzhou.During the battle of Youzhou for more than a year, Li Li had no wives and concubines with him. It was because the situation in Youzhou was unknown, and it was extremely cold and icy. Li Li felt sorry for his wives and concubines, and could not bear them to suffer with him.But this Southern Expedition is quite different. Compared with Xiliang, Huainan is relatively warm, and the Xiliang Army has already established a firm foothold on the Huainan battlefield, and has a clear advantage in terms of strength.Therefore, Li Li brought his female relatives with the army during this southern expedition, and followed the rear army to stay in the camp three days ago.

Tonight is Li Li and Lu Lingqi's wedding night.Although Li Li had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, none of this had anything to do with Lu Lingqi, so the wedding was very lively, and all the ceremonies were still carried out according to the old rules.The only difference from the past was that there was no hall worship ceremony at the wedding, and only a simple ceremony of offering tea. After offering tea to his wife, Chen Yu, Lu Lingqi was considered a passer-by, and she became a member of the Li family from then on.

This new rule, which is different from the current etiquette, is obviously made by Li Li, which is quite meaningful.As for the intention, I'm afraid only Li Li knows it, and others have no way to figure it out.

The night is deep, and the banquet in the main hall has dispersed.In the inner room, Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a red skirt and covered with a red hijab, was sitting on the edge of the bed, her slightly thin body was stretched tightly, and her waist was straight.It revealed that she was very nervous about the upcoming wedding night, shy and reserved, lonely and hesitant, even a little scared.

By the end of the banquet in the big tent, she had been sitting alone for two hours.From the moment she left the camp of her father-in-law (Lv Bu), she covered her head and hadn't seen anyone for the whole afternoon until now.However, she was born in a general's family, with her extraordinary hearing, she clearly knew that there were two maids standing beside her, and they stayed with her in this extremely strange room for two hours.

In the past, with Lu Lingqi's cheerful and active nature, she would have lifted her hijab to free herself, and would never have sat quietly and dutifully.But today is not the same as before, today is the most important day in her life, and it is also an important moment that determines the fate of her life.Before leaving, my aunt (Lv Bu's ordinary wife, Yan Shi, and Lu Lingqi's stepmother) gave thousands of warnings, that when a woman gets married and obeys her husband, she must get rid of her previous bad habits after she leaves the court. My aunt also taught her many unheard-of tricks in the house in private, and secretly told her behind Lu Bu's back that a woman's life's happiness lies in her own man, and she must please her husband.

Lu Lingqi half-understood everything Auntie said, and couldn't figure it out, but this didn't hinder her from thinking.Auntie's many instructions boiled down to one meaning: that is, the husband Lu Lingqi married was not just an ordinary person, not just her man, but also related to the life and death of her whole family.If she takes good care of her husband Li Li, then everything will be solved naturally, otherwise it will lead to a catastrophe, which will affect the entire Lu family.

In addition, Lu Lingqi also knew that her father Lu Bu originally planned to marry her to Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao, in an attempt to climb the high branch of Emperor Zhong's regime and become a relative of the Zhong family's regime.However, with the decline of Yuan Shu's power in Huainan and the coercion of General Li Li, her father Lu Bu had to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, which caused the marriage to run aground.

Three days ago, General Li Li sent envoys to force the marriage, brought up the old events of several years ago again, and forced Lu Bu to marry his daughter.The three-day deadline may be too tight for other generals leading the battle, and it is impossible to do it, but it is very easy for Lu Bu.Over the years of war, Lu Bu has always brought his beloved wife and children with him when he led the army, and this expedition to Huainan is no exception.

Lu Lingqi had also heard about this before, and knew the whole story, and it was from then on that she paid special attention to all the rumors about General Li Li.However, after she really knew what kind of person Li Li was, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and many thoughts piled up in her heart. To this day, she still doesn't know what kind of impression she has of Li Li.

Time passed silently, and the large tent outside the dormitory had already quieted down, silently.

Sitting alone on the soft couch, Lu Lingqi thought that her husband Li Li would come to the inner room after the banquet, lifted the red cap on her head, and when she saw her beautiful face, she couldn't wait to pounce on her tiger. come up.

From the moment she entered the bridal chamber, this scene has been lingering in Lu Lingqi's mind, which made her feel ashamed and afraid, but she also had a little expectation.Because she has absolute confidence in her appearance and figure, even narcissism, all the men who have seen her all the time have staring eyes, lost their minds, and can't move their legs for a long time.Because of this, his father Lu Bu has always regarded her as the apple of his eye, cared for her in every possible way (perhaps a rare commodity), and would not let her show up easily, let alone contact with other men.

However tonight Lu Lingqi was disappointed again and again.As long as there was a sound outside the tent, she thought that Li Li was about to come in, but after waiting for more than ten times, she waited for half an hour, but still no one entered the bridal chamber.

Just when Lu Lingqi felt unprecedentedly wronged and lost, suddenly the door opened with a "squeak" breaking the silence of the bridal chamber, followed by the sound of steady steps walking in.

Chapter 002 The Goddess Has a Dream

The "squeak" sound of the door opening broke the silence of the dormitory, causing the three people in the room who had already stiffened to regain their senses, and turned their eyes to the visitor in unison.

The moment the sound reached her ears, although Lu Lingqi, who was covered with a hijab, could not see anything, this did not prevent her from looking up.Until now, she had never met Li Li, and she had no idea how tall or what the man she was going to follow for the rest of her life looked like.But General Li Li's illustrious reputation has long been familiar to her, she is familiar with it, and she can even recite Li Li's life experience back and forth like a treasure.

Li Li, who opened the door and came in, put down the two volumes of letters, and said softly to the two maids standing by the couch: "It's late at night, go down and rest."

The maid bowed to leave, and carefully closed the door after going out.

Li Li walked slowly to the bed, gently lifted Lu Lingqi's red hijab, and glanced at Lu Lingqi inadvertently.In an instant, his casual glance was involuntarily fixed on this clear and beautiful face, and the right hand holding the red hijab that was about to stop stopped in mid-air, and the hanging red silk hung above Lu Lingqi's head.

Stunning!

Stunning is the true portrayal of this moment, and it is also the voice of Li Li.

After being dazed and absent-minded, a faint smile appeared on Li Li's face.This kind of smile is not only an admiration for Lu Lingqi's beautiful appearance, but also a little self-mockery of herself.Li Li, who is already a father, is no longer an ignorant boy who can't move his legs when he sees a beautiful woman, nor is he a reckless man who always stares at a beautiful woman and wants to swallow her whole. The scene of stunning and absent-mindedness is already extremely rare for him.

over the years.He boasts that he has seen countless beauties, and he has collected all the beauties from all over the world, and all the wives and concubines in his mansion are beautiful and moving.They all have the appearance of overwhelming the country and the city, the posture of inverting all living beings, and the charming and enchanting style.Being surrounded by such beautiful wives and concubines all the year round has allowed him to continuously leapfrog and upgrade his aesthetics, his ability to resist the temptation of beauty has continued to rise, and his self-control ability has become stronger and stronger.Even the beautiful Mei Ji or the ladies of the family, it is difficult for him to stop his eyes for a while.Not to mention the slightest impulsive thoughts, as if not moving at all, it is completely possible to sit still.The heart is like still water.

But just now, Li Li's gaze stayed on Lu Lingqi's clear and beautiful face for a moment.It could be three seconds, five seconds, or more than ten seconds. In short, Lu Lingqi brought him a sense of amazement that he hadn't felt in a long time, and successfully attracted his attention.Let him be stupefied for a moment.I lost my mind unconsciously.

This is a very rare phenomenon.For the first time in three years, it was really amazing, and the consequences were serious.It's like a fresh and attractive lamb being targeted by the wolf king, the consequences can be imagined.

Li Li quietly returned to his senses and stepped back to the table, and sat down as if nothing had happened, but his eyes stayed on the pretty Lu Lingqi.Under his not evil gaze, Lu Lingqi blushed and lowered her head.The pair of catkins hanging on the couch tensely clenched into fists, as if they felt that it would damage the image of a lady, then they loosened.Immediately afterwards.She grabbed the hem of Luo Qun and held it tightly in her hands. Her delicate body trembled slightly and raised her head, looking at Li Li who was sitting three steps away.

Under the milky yellow light, Lu Lingqi sat on the edge of the white bed, and slowly raised her head, allowing Li Li to finally see her appearance and figure clearly.
