Xiaoqi

(Postscript: Perhaps affected by the recent weather, Huben wrote three chapters of warmth at the beginning of the last volume of Xiaoqi. There is a bit of coolness in the warmth, a little helplessness, and a little color of joy and sorrow, just like the current weather Similarly, only in the cold winter can you feel the preciousness of warmth. This is quite similar to the tenderness of an iron man, and it complements each other.

Ruthless is not necessarily a real hero, how can Lianzi not be a husband?This poem by Mr. Lu Xun expresses the true feelings of heroes throughout the ages, and Huben quoted it in Xiaoqi.It is Huben's great honor to get your approval; if you don't like this kind of plot, please be more tolerant.There are not many warm scenes in Xiaoqi, and they are mostly used to fill wounds after the war.Whether it is appropriate or not, you have insightful eyes and have your own opinions.Huben thank you for your support! )

Chapter 004

After the rain, the two armies rested on the south bank for three days, and set out on the fourth day.

Half a month of continuous autumn rain made the roads muddy and slippery. Even after three days of rest and marching after the weather cleared, the roads were still weak, virtually slowing down the marching speed of the army.

On the first day of the trip, when Lu Bu saw his daughter Lu Lingqi wearing a battle armor and riding behind Li Li, his face was ashen, and his cold and stern eyes seemed to tear Li Li into pieces. Fever, full of indignation.

However, just when Lu Bu couldn't hold back his desire to step forward to question him, Chen Gong grabbed him in time, and whispered softly beside him: "A married daughter pours water, don't you hear that a woman is married and obeys her husband? Now Ling Miss Qi is already Li Li's concubine, how to discipline his wives and concubines is his own family business, if Feng Xian went to question him rashly, it would be unreasonable and make people laugh." This is the feudal etiquette system, and it is also the inherent etiquette law of a society where men are superior to women .After a woman leaves the cabinet, her natal family cannot interfere with her husband's family affairs. This kind of feudal family etiquette has been passed down to later generations, and some places are still in use today.

Chen Gong's words caused Lu Bu, who was in a rage, to feel apprehensive, he stopped, and the resentment on his face became more intense.At this time, Chen Gong continued to comfort him: "What's more, miss has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is skilled in bow and horse. In recent years, she has been following Feng Xian to go out with the army. Feng Xian knows all about this. Feng Xian loves his daughter dearly, I can understand and feel sorry for her. , love her, never let her get involved in dangerous situations, and never let her charge into the battle and fight in person. But from time to time, she is already Li Li's person now, even if Feng Xian loves his daughter, he should Enough is enough. Lingqi has grown up and is a married woman, it is impossible for Fengxian to take care of her for the rest of her life. It is time to let go."

After some persuasion, Lu Bu finally gave up the urge to go and reprimand Li Li, so he led the troops with a sullen expression on his face. Without Li Li sending someone to speak, he took the initiative to act as the vanguard of the army and lead the Xuzhou army to open the way first.Perhaps he did this to make up for his apology to his daughter, who was all in armor.As a father, how can he hide behind and hesitate, he should lead the army to protect his daughter from wind and rain.

have to admit.The princes of all the towns said that Li Li was deceitful and wise, not for nothing, but for real.

This time Li Li and Lu Bu jointly dispatched troops. Originally, who would be the vanguard of the army was a long-standing problem on the march.Although Li Li is the leader of the Yuan Alliance, he has the right to command the allied troops in name.But if Lu Bu refuses to implement it.Li Li can't do anything to him, he can't go to war just because of such a trivial matter.However, as Lu Lingqi appeared in Li Li's army in full armor, there was no need to discuss this issue, and Lu Bu took the initiative to shoulder the burden of pioneering.It can be seen from this that Li Li's treachery is really not groundless, every move has a deep meaning, and he is scheming, easily turning a war of words into invisible.

But Lu Bu didn't know.Although Li Li is scheming and calculating, he has a moral bottom line that most people don't have.The basic principles of dealing with people have always remained unchanged, and the bottom line of emotion has never wavered.Lu Lingqi is the first woman to be threatened and forced to marry Li Li so far. Although Li Li did not agree with this matter in advance, the deal is done now, the facts are all there, and it is futile to deny it.But after getting married, except for Li Li helping Lu Lingqi on the night of the bridal chamber, he never touched a finger of Lu Lingqi. As a result, Lu Lingqi is still a perfect body, and she is definitely not a married woman as Chen Gong said.

This is Li Li's principle of life, or the same sentence: twisted melons are not sweet.The wedding night was the first time he and Lu Lingqi met. Although he was quite attracted by Lu Lingqi's appearance and figure, there are so many women in the world who can seduce a man.Everyone has the love of beauty, so should they all keep it for themselves?

What's more, Li Li has no shortage of women. Chen Yu, Xiao Qiao and the trainer who accompanied him this time all have a beauty that is no less beautiful than Lu Lingqi, and even more mature, plump and graceful than her, with a variety of styles.Therefore, Li Li would not do the thing of forcing a woman, nor would he bother to do it.The love between a man and a woman is not only the possession of sex, but the most precious thing is that each other has each other in their hearts. Only when you love and I wish can it come naturally, and there is fun to speak of.Otherwise, it will be like a walking dead, how is it different from a beast?

No matter how Lu Bu looked at Li Li and how indignant he was, but Lu Bu led the army first and took the initiative to lead the way. This is something Li Li is happy to see happen.As for Lu Lingqi who went out with the army in battle armor, she was just a soldier by Li Li's side at the moment, and she was limited to fulfilling her wish to fight with the army, that's all.Li Li would never let his woman lead the way, even if she is not her own woman right now, she just occupies a position, but this is not acceptable.Therefore, Li Li was not as despicable as Lu Bu imagined. When he really went to the battlefield, he would protect his woman, and Lu Lingqi would not be in the slightest danger.

Perhaps Lu Bu didn't know it, but it was his willingness to lead the army that moved Li Li very much.Poor parents all over the world. Although Lu Bu has many evil deeds and is not ashamed by the world, his love for his children is the same as that of all parents in the world.Perhaps Lu Bu's method of educating his children is very rough, but this does not prevent him from loving and caring for his children, even more deeply than ordinary parents.

Lu Bu's move touched Li Li a lot, because Li Li himself was also a father.He can understand Lu Bu's mood at the moment, and this also allows him to see the other side of Lu Bu's capriciousness, greed and profit, and his conscience is still alive.

On the fifth day after Li Li and Lu Bu jointly marched into Huainan, the north ushered in the first heavy snow since the beginning of winter.

The coming of winter snow heralds the end of the war in the north, and the troops and horses of all parties confronting the Hebei battlefield will enter a truce period.

As a result, the war situation in Hebei fell into a stalemate again, and Yuan Shao in Jizhou, who was surrounded by heavy siege, persisted for another year and won himself a chance to rest and breathe.But for Cao Cao in Yanzhou, who was sharpening his sword, it was mixed.During the truce, he can further stabilize the situation in Qingzhou, strengthen his rule, and redouble his efforts.But while consolidating Qingzhou, he also imprisoned his 10,000+ army on the border between Yanzhou and Qingzhou, unable to move.He could only watch helplessly as Li Li led his army south to attack Jianghuai County, and his power grew day by day.

obvious.Li Lili's army went south to conquer Yuan Shu just at the right time.Taking advantage of the coming of ice and snow in the north, they sent troops to march south. In this way, the phenomenon of the northern warriors being unaccustomed to the water and soil in the Jianghuai area can be minimized, which is easy to overcome and has little effect on the combat effectiveness of the entire army.In this way, this vacancy can be cleverly used to wipe out Yuan Shu in Huainan in one fell swoop, and expand the territory under his rule to Yuzhou.Even Yangzhou.By the time the Jianghuai land has fully snowed, the war may have ended, about a month before and after.

March for ten days.Li Li and Lu Bu's allied forces entered Jiujiang County, that is, the territory of Jiujiang Yin under the Zhong regime, and their swords pointed directly at Shouchun City.

Along the way, Lu Bu's army, who acted as the vanguard of the army, fought seven times with Yuan Shu's troops.Although the scale of the battle is small.It was a sporadic fight, but after seven fights, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses also suffered more than [-] casualties.However, Lu Bu did not raise any objections to this from the beginning to the end. He quietly led the Xuzhou army to attack the city and pull out the village, opening roads and bridges for the follow-up army until the city of Shouchun.

Thirty miles away from the north gate of Shouchun City, the coalition forces arrived in the afternoon, and instead of directly attacking the city, they chose to set up camp on the spot.After a short rest, proceed to attack the city.

After winter, the days get shorter and shorter.The night is getting longer and longer.The swishing north wind swept across China, and the leaves were falling. The sky was freezing, and the severe cold dominated the sky, and the weather was getting colder and colder.

As night fell, the north wind howled, making the weeds around the camp whizzing.The Chinese military tent was steaming, and the pitch-black charcoal was burning fiercely. More than a dozen braziers were baking the newly built tent, evaporating moisture and driving away the cold air, making the entire tent warm.

However, this kind of treatment is only eligible for the coaches of the two armies and their main generals.For most soldiers, they still rely on bonfires to keep warm. It is not bad to have a pot of fire in a tent with hundreds of people when they sleep.More than [-]% of the soldiers were huddled together, relying on each other's body temperature for warmth, so as to spend the long cold night.

This time they set up camp, the soldiers of the two armies did not camp separately, but were stationed together in a large camp.The camp is divided into three areas: left, middle, and right. The left camp is the Xuzhou Army under Lv Bu's account, the middle area is the camp of the two armies' commanders and main generals, and the right is the camp of the Xiliang Army.

Regardless of the fact that this way of camping is still very distinct, but compared with the previous situation of the two armies, which was in dire straits, it is completely different.At present, the commanders and main generals of the two armies can live in the same camp, which in itself shows that the two armies have a close relationship, which is different from the general alliance of princes, as if they are twisted into one rope, regardless of you and me.

And this situation is the result of Chen Gong, Guo Jia and Xun You's efforts, and the generals of the two armies have no objection to this, and they are happy to see it come to fruition.After all, the two armies have become relatives by marriage. How can the family be divided?

Speaking of which, Lu Bu's status is now rising. He has changed from Xuzhou Mu to Li Li's father-in-law, with a detached status.But Lu Bu himself did not have this kind of awareness. Instead of being happy because he became Li Li's elder, he felt that he was being restrained by his son-in-law Li Li, and he always felt oppressed and restrained everywhere, so uncomfortable!

The only thing that benefited Lu Bu was that ever since Li Li became his son-in-law, Li Li's attitude towards him has turned around 180 degrees.

To be honest, Lu Bu was extremely jealous of Li Li before, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was in awe, but now that Li Li is suddenly so enthusiastic about him, it made him extremely uncomfortable, and he felt a little flattered.Fortunately, every time they met, their daughter Lu Lingqi was by Li Li's side, which invisibly reassured Lu Bu a little, and gradually got used to Li Li's polite manners, and accepted them calmly.

It has to be said that the relationship between Lu Bu and Li Li, the Weng son-in-law, is very peculiar and unique.However, if you are familiar with the previous grievances and entanglements between the Weng and the son-in-law, you will not feel strange.

Back then, when Li Li and Lu Bu were ministers in the same court, their status was far inferior to that of Lu Bu.In the battle of Bahe, Hao Meng and Song Xian, the subordinates of Lu Bu's account, both died at the hands of Li Li's generals, and he himself had four fingers cut off, making his left hand incomplete. He still wears finger gloves to hide his ugliness, so as not to be ridiculed .However, the Battle of Bahe made Li Li's supreme reputation, which made Dong Zhuo look at him more and more. He not only married his beloved daughter Dong Wan to Li Li, but also presented him with a large number of armored weapons, which made Li Li soar into the sky. His power and status have been rising steadily, and he has become a hot and prominent presence in Xiliang.

Lu Bu once hated Li Li deeply, always thinking about the irreconcilable hatred of his severed finger, thinking that one day he will take revenge and avenge his shame.For this reason, he gave up the excellent opportunity to drive Yanzhou Cao Cao to extinction, turned his guns around, participated in the Hanoi League, and became an indispensable backbone of the Allied forces.However, in the battle of Sili, Lu Bu was hit hard again. Not only was he seriously injured, but even the army under his command suffered heavy casualties, and most of them were lost.As a result, after the disastrous defeat of Sili, facing Cao Cao's army to counterattack Yanzhou, he was so desperate that he had no soldiers to use, so he defeated Yanzhou and fled in a hurry.

Looking back on the past, since Li Li's rapid rise, Lu Bu has suffered repeated setbacks under Li Li's hands.Whenever he meets Li Li, he has never won, and he is lucky not to suffer a big loss.Over time, Lu Bu, who is fearless in all over the world, regards Li Li as his nemesis, and he is very afraid of him, even afraid of him.

Chapter 005

In the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, there was a basin of charcoal fire and two table tables. Li Li and Lu Bu sat facing each other, drinking from each other.

This was the first reunion after six full years, and it was also the first time in their lives that the two of them sat together calmly and had a chat over wine.

Before that, perhaps the two of them never dreamed that one day they could sit down with each other like this, talk kindly, discuss the situation of the war together, and discuss how to dispatch troops.

But now, all this has become a reality.

In the handsome tent, the two people drinking the cups looked at each other silently.You toast me a cup, and I'll give you back a cup. Pushing and changing cups while drinking dull wine, the atmosphere is a bit weird.As a result, the maidservants kneeling aside to serve were as quiet as cicadas, pouring the wine carefully, not daring to make any noise for fear of causing death.

Drinking one cup at a time, Lu Bu kept watching Li Li's expression from the corner of his eye.At the same time, he also knew that Li Li was also paying attention to his every move, and they were both waiting for the other to speak first, to see who could lose their temper first.

Looking at Li Li, who is in full bloom and full of heroism, Lu Bu has mixed feelings in his heart.

Looking back on the past, since Li Li's rapid rise, Lu Bu has suffered repeated setbacks under Li Li's hands.Whenever he meets Li Li, he has never won, and he is lucky not to suffer a big loss.Over time, Lu Bu, who is fearless in all over the world, regards Li Li as his nemesis, and he is very afraid of him, even afraid of him.

The past is unbearable to look back on, but now I have to face it.

"Tom tom tom!"

Just when Lu Bu was hesitating whether to speak first, there was a sound of rustling footsteps from the side door beside him.immediately.Lu Lingqi, who was dressed in a colored silk skirt, walked up to the two of them with a pot of gurgling hot tea. While putting down the teapot, she said softly to Lu Bu, "It's freezing cold. Father, take care of yourself and drink less. Let's make hot tea." After she finished speaking, she poured two cups of hot tea skillfully, then leaned back and retreated.

Seeing that my daughter is still as slim as before, her expression is as usual, and everything is fine.Nothing unusual.Luburton felt relieved and relieved a lot, knowing that his previous worries were unnecessary.The daughter was not wronged by Li Li.

However, the moment Lu Lingqi turned to leave, Lu Bu frowned suddenly, looking at his daughter's back that was fading away in a daze, very puzzled.Then he looked back at Li Li who was opposite him.He fell silent.

After a long while, Lu Bu broke the silence and said softly: "The general is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, Lu thanked you in advance." An inexplicable thank you, but a pun.The benevolent and righteous gentleman in Lu Bu's mouth, benevolence and righteousness naturally means that Li Li did not transfer the previous grievances and entanglements between each other to Lu Lingqi, never neglected her, let alone abused her.Otherwise, Lu Bu could have seen it from Lu Lingqi's expression and demeanor just now.As for the gentleman, there are some meaningful flavors.

since ancient times.There are courteous and modest gentlemen, honest and trustworthy honest gentlemen, and upright gentlemen who sit still.The gentleman mentioned by Lu Bu is undoubtedly alluding to the latter, implying that Li Li is a gentleman who is upright and stable.But because of his status, Lu Bu couldn't say it clearly in front of Li Li. After all, Lu Lingqi was his daughter, and he could just point out some things, but he couldn't make it clear.Obviously, Lu Bu has discovered that Lu Lingqi is still a virgin.

This section may seem strange, but it is not.Lu Bu is not only Lu Lingqi's father, but also someone who came from here, and there are many wives and concubines in the mansion, who are well-informed, how could he not see that Lu Lingqi is still a young girl.What's more, he has always loved Lu Lingqi, and he is undoubtedly very familiar with his daughter's expression and behavior.The reason why he couldn't see it during the march was because Lu Lingqi was wearing a battle armor and riding a horse with the army, her demeanor was covered by the battle armor and mount.But just now Lu Lingqi changed back to women's clothes, so Lu Bu naturally found that something was wrong with Lu Lingqi.Because her facial expression and demeanor are exactly the same as before she came out of the cabinet, she does not have the charming posture and strange look of a new wife at all, everything is normal but abnormal.After all, she is already Li Li's concubine. How can a young woman who is a new wife and an innocent and romantic girl be the same?

"Marquis Wen is serious." Seeing Lu Bu's suspicious and speculative eyes, Li Li shook his head with a smile, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but took a sip of tea slowly and cleared his throat.Then he said calmly: "Perhaps I have always been a womanizer in Marquis Wen's mind. I have already had a lot of wives and concubines, but I still miss your daughter. But what I want to tell Marquis Wen is that I, Li Li, do not have you. It’s as bad as you can imagine.”

After a pause, Li Li saw that Lu Bu was silent and did not answer, and continued: "Now, there are fifteen wives and concubines in my mansion, and most of them have had children. Maybe Marquis Wen doesn't know, follow me All the wives and concubines have a deep relationship with me, and they are willing to follow me. None of them are forced to commit themselves to me. It is precisely because of the deep relationship that my Li Li's house has always been harmonious, and they respect each other and are as close as they are. Sister, let me have no worries about the future, will not be distracted by family affairs, and can concentrate on fighting and leading the army without distraction.

In contrast, I have never met Ling Ai before, and I have no relationship at all, so I will not touch her before she really falls in love with me.What's more, if she doesn't want to follow me, or if she wants to belong, I will never force her. Instead, I will fulfill her, give her freedom, and let her live the life she wants.Whether Wen Hou believes it or not, I, Li Li, am such a person. I never force others in terms of feelings, and bullying men and women will never happen to me. "

In fact, Li Li was a little brash, it's not that he didn't do bullying.For example, three years ago, he had an affair with Princess Liu Hua of Yang'an to make peace.However, there is something hidden in it, that is Liu Hua's drunken sex under the active temptation. He didn't have the intention of bullying men and women, but he did things that violated his original intention of bullying men and women.

Just as Li Li thought, Lu Bu was indeed skeptical of what he said.But there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, each of Li Li's wives and concubines is an alluring beauty that is talked about by the world.Perhaps because of Li Liwei's great fame, all the women who followed him were famous all over the world. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they are well-known, which is amazing.
