"Xi Yu Yu!"

The horse neighed, and the hooves raised high were only one step away from Li Zhi who was standing in the middle of the battlefield on foot.But in the face of Sun Ce rushing menacingly, and the iron overlord gun that had been charged for a long time, Li Zhi with a cold face did not even blink his brows, his body remained motionless, as if Mount Tai was collapsing in front of him without changing his face.

"Thump, thump, thump!" Forcibly reining in his horse and taking a few steps back, Sun Tzuyu on horseback cupped his hands apologetically, "Sun Ce has seen General Li Zhi before, and his horse was frightened just now, so I offended you, General, please be lenient."

"General Sun doesn't need to be too polite. It has been said since ancient times: a man stumbles, and a horse stumbles. This is human nature. Is Li an unreasonable person?"

Chapter 023

"Sun Ce has seen General Li Zhi, just now his horse was frightened, he was offended, please be more generous."

Suddenly raising the reins and reining in the horse, Sun Ce held the Overlord Spear upside down, and the left hand holding the rein and the right hand holding the gun bowed together, and took the lead in apologizing to Li Zhi.Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open and making excuses, but no matter what he said, Sun Ce's attitude of admitting his mistakes was undoubtedly sincere, and there was no intention of prevarication.

"General Sun doesn't need to be too polite." Standing in front of the horse with his head held high, Li Zhi nodded lightly, and said indifferently: "There is a saying: when a man stumbles, a horse stumbles. General Sun's actions are also human nature. Li Zhi Although he is a martial artist, he is not unreasonable." He spoke nicely and with a relaxed tone, but the chain in Li Zhi's hand was still wrapped around Tai Shici's neck, and he showed no sign of letting go.

Even so, after hearing Li Zhi's words, Sun Ce still secretly heaved a sigh of relief, his tense mind relaxed slightly, and the Overlord Spear placed behind his back was slowly put down, the blade of the spear hanging upside down on the ground.The moment his mind relaxed, there was a sweat stain on Sun Ce's forehead, and the temples under his pocket were soaked and slightly steaming.

In fact, when Sun Ce saw that the person who captured Tai Shici was Li Zhi, who was one foot tall, his brows twitched, his heart was horrified, and without even thinking about it, he immediately put away the Overlord Spear, and completely gave up the attack idea.Maybe others don't know how powerful Li Zhi is, but he, Sun Ce, knows it very well, and has had a close relationship with him several times.

During the Battle of Si Li, the Xiliang Army and the Allied Army fought in front of the formation, and the Flying Tiger Huan Fei, who was known as the number one general in Xiliang, severely injured Lu Bu in front of the two armies.And Li Zhi is a powerful existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Huan Fei.It is the "Dragon and Tiger Shuangsha" under Li Li's command, because he has always acted in a low-key manner, keeping out of the limelight, and taciturn.This led to the title of the first general of the Xiliang Army falling on Huan Fei's head. Even so, Li Zhi also had the title of "Flying General".It is rumored that Li Zhi can fly over eaves and walls, is as light as a swallow, and has a unique weapon, known as the No. 1 of the world's strange weapons.

In addition, Sun Ce also knew.Li Zhi once fought against Lu Bu and defeated Lu Bu together.In that battle, although he did not seriously injure Lu Bu.But it made Lu Bu ashamed and embarrassed.

These anecdotes may have been heard by Jiangdong generals more or less, but most people think that these are rumors and fabricated words.Not enough to believe.and.None of them had met Li Zhi, they only knew that Li Zhi was good at strange weapons, iron chains, that's all.However, Sun Ce has seen with his own eyes how powerful the generals of Xiliang are, so he deeply knows that Li Zhi, the flying general who can be compared with Huan Fei, is definitely not in vain.

If the rumors are not to be believed, then Li Zhi's easy capture of Taishi Ci alive at this moment is a demonstration of his great strength.The facts were right in front of our eyes, and Sun Ce and the Jiangdong generals who came after him couldn't help but not believe it.

So it was the moment when Li Zhi let go of his mouth in public and expressed his understanding.Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved, his tense expression eased a lot, and his face became normal.

While relaxing his mind, Sun Ce suddenly discovered that there was a long gun stuck in front of Li Zhi's right foot, and Li Zhi's right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and his entire right arm was stretched straight. It was obvious that he was ready for it .After noticing this scene, Sun Ce was startled, and then frightened for a while.At this moment, he fully understood.If he hadn't put away the Overlord Spear in time, and hadn't reined in his horse to stop in time, then when he stabbed Li Zhi with his spear, Li Zhi would have kicked the long spear in front of him and killed Sun Ce's horse.At the same time, Li Zhi's right arm, which is waiting for strength, will definitely wave his arm, and the two-foot-long iron chain chain can completely strike first, and knock him off the horse before he swings his gun to kill him. , the result must be death or injury.

"It's really dangerous! I almost fell into Li Zhi's trap and died on the spot!" Suddenly realizing, Sun Ce was still in fear, staring at Li Zhi with burning eyes, secretly calling for luck.He should really be thankful, thankful that he was not deceived by Li Zhi's disguise, and he did not despise Li Zhi because of his ordinary appearance, rein in the precipice and stop in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Forced to calm down, Sun Ce slightly turned his head to look at Tai Shici.But seeing Tai Shici staring straight at Li Zhi with a horrified face, his expression was dull and his spirit was listless, as if he couldn't accept the fact in front of him: "I think Tai Shici of Beihai, who has never been defeated in the battlefield, has no power to resist. Captured alive by Li Zhi. How could this be? How could Li Zhi be so powerful? Is he still a human?" Perhaps this was the only thought in Tai Shici's mind at the moment, so that after he was forcibly pulled off the horse by Li Zhi, his expression was stunned. , with an unbelievable look on his face.

Sun Ce fully understood Tai Shici's mood at the moment, and could guess what he was thinking, because Tai Shici himself was indeed a warrior with high martial arts skills, and his martial arts and powerful combat power were comparable to Sun Ce's, and he was inseparable.However, Tai Shici was captured alive by Li Zhi in one fell swoop. No one would be able to accept this unimaginably huge gap.

However, the facts are all there, and failure is failure. Whether you can accept it or not, you can't change the fait accompli.

After glancing at Tai Shici, Sun Ce forced a smile, and said in a respectful voice, "General Zicheng is magnanimous and magnanimous. Sun Ce really admires him, and he can be called a role model for me. However, the people under the general are The general under Sun Mou's account is reckless in nature, has a bad temper and is easily impulsive. If there is any disrespect, I hope the general will look at Sun Mou's sympathy, be merciful, and hand him over to Sun Mou for personal disposal. Don't worry, the general will definitely Severe punishment will never be tolerated. I don't know if the general can make it easier, and Sun will be rewarded!" While speaking, Sun Ce paid attention to Li Zhi's expression, and at the same time glanced at the allied generals under the gate.

Seeing this, Sun Ce's complexion changed again and again, and his expression became serious, his thick tiger eyebrows twitched violently, and a few strands of surprise and panic flashed in his eyes.

Good guy, there are quite a few civil servants and military generals who are standing at the entrance of the gate to watch the excitement!

Standing at the forefront are the leaders of the Allied forces, such as Lv Bu, Chen Gong, Guo Jia, Gongsun Zan, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, Ma Dai, Hou Cheng, Cao Bao, Wei Xu, etc., all of whom are well-known celebrities and famous people. the warlord.Standing behind them are dozens of Allied generals.Among them are some well-known generals, as well as many unfamiliar faces, who must have recently defected to Li Li's command.Most of them are descendants from barbarian tribes.

Seeing these people watching the excitement from the sidelines, Sun Ce's heart sank, and he immediately knew that it might not be as easy as he imagined to calm down the matter in front of him.

Depressed, Sun Ce immediately looked away, but just as his mind turned sharply, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a very familiar figure among the cavalry directly below the gate.Immediately, his eyelids twitched, and he looked intently at the figure that made him feel kind.And the smiling face that he remembers deeply, it is a powerful existence that haunts his dreams, and it is also the source of motivation that spurs him to work hard.

"Li,,, General?" His eyes were concentrated for a moment directly below the gate.Sun Ce recognized Li Li who was riding his horse and standing among the cavalry at a glance, and called out his name in a voice.Originally, he wanted to call Li Li by his first name, but he paused for no reason, and then called out Li Li's official taboo.

"Hehehe!" Before the person arrived, he heard it with a smile.Just when Sun Ce discovered Li Li.Li Li rode out with more people, and said with a smile: "It's been a few years since Si Li left, but Bo Fu still remembers Li. It's really beyond my expectation. When we meet again after a long absence, Bo Fu will be safe again?"

Talking while walking, Li Li still greeted people with a smiling face as always, with a kind tone and a bright and bright smile as before.Listening to it makes people feel like spring breeze and feel comfortable physically and mentally.However, these words fell into Sun Ce's ears.But it has a different taste and a lot of emotion.

Back then, when Sun Ce and Li Li met for the first time under Dongyuan City, Li Li had such a pleasant smile and a kind tone, giving people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals, which made people feel good about him.However, Sun Ce was seriously injured for the first time in his life due to Li Li's generals. Under Ma Chao's special skill of returning the carbine, if Zu Mao hadn't spared his life to block the gun for him, Sun Ce would have been pierced by Ma Chao. It's been a long time since I died.

This is Li Li, who hides a knife in his smile. Don't be fooled by his bright smile. You don't know that his humble, polite and smiling face hides a ruthless heart of stone.The brighter the smile, the more dangerous it is, so his laughter can be regarded as the smile of death, the call of the devil.

When he was slightly distracted, Sun Ce was not an ordinary person after all. After a little hesitation, he immediately returned to his senses, and said respectfully: "I don't dare to worry about General Lao. Everything is fine recently. I led the army here this time to respond to the general's call. Lead the troops to join the alliance and pay homage to the leader of the alliance to show our sincerity." Before he finished speaking, Sun Ce got off his horse, walked straight past Li Zhi, and bowed before Li Li sat down on his Hualiu horse.Sun Ce's move was well-regulated and well-mannered, which made the onlookers impeccable.

Li Li didn't get off his horse, but leaned forward, leaned slightly, and raised his hand to signal Sun Ce to stand up without courtesy, and said with a smile, "Bo Fu doesn't need to be formal. Bo Fu is coming to the alliance this time, and you and I will fight side by side. Allies are like a family. Since we are a family, how can we divide each other? Hehehe!"

"What the leader said is very true. It's just that" Sun Ce echoed his voice, turned his head to look at Tai Shici who was strangled by Li Zhi, and hesitated to speak.

Li Li immediately understood, the smile on his face faded instantly, and he said in a deep voice: "Our allied camp is a military center, how can we allow unknown people to approach at will and rush into it at will? What's more, the camp was attacked and robbed by Yuan Shu not long ago. Now, General Taishi has a famous assassination guide but does not show it to others. What is the reason? Does he despise our allied princes and generals?" With this big hat pulled down, it seems that the entire Jiangdong Army is placed in the allied army. The opposite, obviously refers to Tai Shici, but actually refers directly to Sun Ce.

This is a typical calf protector.Obviously Li Li wants to seek justice for his subordinates at this moment, and will not let Tai Shici easily, and direct the spearhead to Sun Ce.

Chapter 024 Playing Hard to Get

Sun Ce faltered and hesitated, turned his head to look at Tai Shici who was strangled by Li Zhi, and hesitated to speak.

Li Li understood immediately, so he cast his eyes on Tai Shici, who was strangled by chains around his neck, and his face, which was smiling just now, instantly changed into a look of solemnity.

He glanced at Sun Ce with deep eyes, then looked at Tai Shici, and said thoughtfully: "This general Tai Shi has a serious face, but he speaks with a Youzhou accent. He must be in Youzhou. I stayed in Zhouzhou. Li did not make a mistake, did he?"

Tai Shici was in a trance and did not answer. At this time, Sun Ce replied on his behalf: "It is true that as the leader said, Ziyi was detained for several years in his early years, so he still speaks with a Youzhou accent." I have to answer truthfully.

Li Li nodded slightly, and asked in a low tone: "Since this is the case, how can General Taishi not know that people outside the Great Wall are upright and violent? What's more, our allied camp is a military center, so how can unknown people be allowed to approach at will and collide wantonly?" ?”

Not long ago, the camp was raided and robbed by Yuan Shu, now General Taishi has a famous assassin but refuses to show it to others, what's the reason?Don't you despise our allied princes and generals? "With this big hat put on, it seemed that the entire Jiangdong Army was placed on the opposite side of the Allied Forces. It was clearly referring to Tai Shici, but it was actually pointing directly at Sun Ce.

"The lord's words are serious!" Sun Ce's expression changed when he heard that, he quickly waved his hands to refute the rumors, and categorically denied: "I have no intention of belittling the ally and the generals. Before that, a certain Sun ordered him to order Ziyi to come to see the lord first, and my subordinates He led the army to arrive shortly thereafter, fearing that there would be some disrespect and offend the leader Huwei. I don't want to admit that Ziyi's actions were reckless, irritable and impulsive. As a result, he ran into the camp. It was Sun who had no way to control him, so what happened today. The incident happened All of a sudden, it was really an unintentional mistake, please let the lord and the generals learn from it!"

As a last resort, Sun Ce could only push Tai Shici out to prevent the disaster and pick himself out.otherwise.The situation is very serious, and Li Li is very likely to take the opportunity to make things difficult for him and Sun Ce in public.They even incited Lu Bu and other Xuzhou generals to turn their spearheads at the Jiangdong Army when Yuan Shu was still alive.It should be known that after Yuan Shu's defeat, he and Sun Ce were the only princes along the Jianghuai territory.If Li Li tries to dominate Jianghuai.Then Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army naturally became Li Li's thorns in the eyes and thorns in his flesh, eager to get rid of them quickly.

Sun Ce and Li Li already knew the stakes here, but it was just tacit understanding.Therefore, Sun Ce must not allow Li Li to take advantage of the situation, nor allow Li Li to take the opportunity to attack because of Tai Shici, and then send his troops to Jiangdong to wipe out him and Yuan Shu together.

Therefore, under the pressure of the situation.Sun Ce had no choice but to push Tai Shici away.Pick yourself out.Put all the blame on Tai Shici and wash himself clean. Only in this way can he, Sun Ce, get out and prevent Li Li from taking the opportunity to make trouble, thus resolving the immediate crisis.This is a typical example of giving up the car to protect the handsome man. It is a last resort, and it has to be done in order to take the overall situation into consideration.However, this does not mean that Sun Ce is willing to give up Tai Shici, but avoids the important and ignores the less important, and postpones the plan. Right now, he can't care about Tai Shici, and he can only suffer some grievances.

The situation is stronger than people, people have to bow their heads under the eaves!

Faced with Li Li's aggressiveness, Sun Ce has no ability to fight against him at the moment, so he can only protect himself wisely and compromise temporarily.There is no choice but what to do?

Seeing that Jiangdong Sun Ce, who had risen suddenly in recent years, was forced to be so embarrassed in front of Li Li, he bowed his knees, obediently, and almost knelt down.Lv Bu, who reined in the horse and stood behind Li Li, couldn't bear it, and wanted to speak out for Sun Ce to smooth things over, but Chen Gong firmly grabbed the back of his shirt and shook his head repeatedly, signaling him not to come out, not to meddle in what was in front of him. thing.

At this time, Guo Jiace immediately stepped forward and said in a respectful voice: "My lord, it seems that General Sun did not intend to offend. The trespassing of the camp was indeed done by General Taishi alone. Since General Sun did not intend to offend, then this matter has nothing to do with him. In this way, it is enough to deal with Tai Shici alone, and there is no need to delve into it. After all, Shouchun is not broken and Yuan Shu is not destroyed. Our allied forces should be united as one, and the enemy should be united. The complete eradication of Yuan Shu is the most important thing. It is my suggestion, This matter is over, I beg your lord to think twice." Guo Jia came forward to smooth things over, and with a few words, he shifted the focus of the problem to Tai Shici, and separated Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army.

Li Li was noncommittal after hearing the words, and looked at Sun Ce with a stern expression, then cast his eyes on Tai Shici, and said in a deep voice: "Trespassing the camp without permission and hurting my general is an unforgivable crime. If you don't punish me severely, will the world laugh at me?" Li Li's incompetence has chilled the hearts of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Xiliang! What does General Sun think?" Just now he had called Sun Ce's name "Bofu" kindly, but now he called him an official taboo.The change in address showed Li Li's attitude, his tone was low, he did not allow Sun Ce to refuse, forcing him to answer directly.

"Uh, this..." Sun Ce was speechless, his face with his head down was extremely distorted, his cheeks were bulging, and he seemed to be gnashing his teeth in anger, furious.But things have come to this, facing such a strong Li Li, how can he answer Sun Ce?Although his strength has risen sharply in recent years, his army has become stronger and stronger, and he has already captured the four counties of Jiangdong and dominated Jiangdong.But what is the territory and tens of thousands of troops he owns in front of Li Li?

Three years ago, during the decisive battle in Loudiyuan.Li Li then owned Yong, Liang, and Bingzhou, and occupied the three auxiliary lands of Chang'an, with no less than 30 soldiers and horses.Now, Li Libing has occupied Youzhou without bloodshed, pacified Liaodong, and then successively captured Changshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom and Bohai County in Jizhou, and occupied Nanyang in the hinterland of the Central Plains, sent troops to Yuzhou, and now extended his tentacles to Yangzhou.

Today, nearly half of the states and counties among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty are in the hands of Li Li, and he seems to be the only one among all the princes in the world.Today, Li Li has more than 50 soldiers and horses, with many generals and abundant food and grass.

Sun Ce was among them, so naturally he was no exception.

While hesitating, Sun Ce kept his head down, not daring to look up at Li Li, let alone face Tai Shici.To know.Tai Shi Ci was a powerful warrior whom he had exhausted a lot of effort and finally surrendered. From then on, the two were called the main ministers, but in fact they were as close as brothers.But now due to the situation.But he, Sun Ce, wanted to hand over Taishi Ci to Li Li for disposal. This move was tantamount to gouging out the flesh in his heart, which was unbearably painful.
