In addition, in order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, Sun Ce deliberately concealed the destruction of the warship.Only a few people like him, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, and Lu Dai knew about this matter, as well as the two generals Sun Jing and Sun Ben who went to the riverside to supervise the shipbuilding, and the [-] soldiers who built the ship.Other than that, no one else knows.

But now, Li Li knew about it and said it in public.

For a moment, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel suspicious. Everyone looked like a spy who had secretly informed Li Li. He was full of suspicion, worried, and worried about gains and losses.

However, Sun Ce would never have thought that the reason why Li Li knew that one of Sun Ce's troops was building ships by the river was because he met Bu Zhi who had returned from visiting friends when he went to Shu County to pay respects to Mrs. Bu Lao three days ago.At that time, Bu Zhi accidentally mentioned that his friend lived by the river. In recent days, the Jiangdong Army stationed by the river was collecting wood everywhere, and forcibly snatched the door panels of Bu Zhi's friend's house to build ships.

He does not mean that.It was Bu Zhi's words that let Li Li know that Sun Ce had already started to prepare for the backhand, and was building boats by the river day and night, so that he could cross the river and return to Jiangdong at any time.

At the same time, Li Li also learned from Bu Zhi.Although the Jiangdong army built ships day and night, due to the shortage of wood and the extremely slow speed of shipbuilding, there were only [-] ordinary ships in ten days, which could carry more than a thousand people across the river at a time, and there was a serious shortage of ships.

It was this news that made Li Li realize that this was a rare opportunity with great promise.So he set out early the next morning with Bu Zhi, rode lightly on a fast horse, and came straight to Wan County.But Bu Lianshi, Xiao Qiao and Lu Lingqi stayed in Bu Mansion for a while, and after the Huainan War was completely over, Li Li sent someone to pick them up.

When Li Li and his party arrived in Wan County, the [-] pacers led by Dian Wei and Xu Huang had already been waiting for a long time.

That's how it all started.A chance encounter not only allowed Li Li to gain another talented person (Bu Zhi), but also got an extremely important news, and then seized the opportunity to weaken Jiangdong's power again.

At this moment, the tent of the commander of the Chinese army was so quiet that everyone in the tent could hear each other's heartbeat, as well as the low and thin snorting sound of holding their breath.

Seeing the people in the tent holding their breaths and keeping their voices silent, Li Li sipped his tea without any haste, smiling and not saying a word, but he was thinking about the possibility of realizing the idea he had earlier, and how confident he was in realizing it.

In addition, he felt a little rejoiced that he had previously instructed Shi A to lead the Eagle Guards (that is, dead soldiers) to burn down the riverside docks of the Jiangdong Army.As long as you encounter an opportunity, you can't miss it. No matter what, you have to give Sun Ce a cold shot. Even if you can't kill him, it will hurt him for a while.After all, attacking an opponent is equal to protecting oneself!

I never expected it to be right.Now the warship crossing the river has become Sun Ce's weakness, which is tantamount to pinching the neck of Sun Ce and the Jiangdong Army under his tent, so that Li Li has the opportunity and ability to wipe out Sun Ce and Jiangdong Army in Jiangbei, and complete his achievements in one battle.

At this thought, Li Li couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe, what's the matter, everyone, don't be nervous, the sky won't fall!"

Slightly restraining his laughter, Li Li continued: "Bofu's foundation is in Jiangdong. It is normal to build warships. There is no need to hide it. Why can't you tell people? The reason why I ask this is to ask Ask Bofu how the ship is progressing and whether there are any difficulties. If there is any difficulty, Bofu just say it, maybe I can help him. This is by no means a lie. Although my Xiliang army is a land warrior, I am not familiar with water , but the victory lies in the strength of the number of people, even if the shipbuilding is not good, you can still contribute! Who made our two armies now one family!"

Sun Ce's face changed suddenly after hearing the words, not only did not relax his mind, but his nerves tensed up, he was extremely careful, and paid close attention to the changes in Li Li's expression.

This is because he and Li Li have been together for a long time.During the war between Si Li and Li Li, he had confronted Li Li for ten months. In addition, he had been in close contact with Li Li for more than one month recently, which added up to nearly a year.However, the longer he spent with Li Li, the more uncertain Sun Ce became, the more unpredictable Li Li's temperament and temper became, and the more afraid he became of Li Li.

Now, Sun Ce has realized it.This guy Li Li is a very smiling tiger. The brighter his smile, the harder his attack; the softer he speaks, the worse his opponent will suffer.These are the lessons of blood, which prompted Sun Ce to sum up the results.Therefore, when he heard Li Li and Yan Yuese's words again at this moment, he suddenly became alert, and felt that Li Li would definitely open his mouth this time, and he was going to deal ruthless blows to Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, I heard that you have recently given birth to a son. Congratulations!"

"Ah! What do you want to do? Do you want my son to be a hostage? Don't even think about it!" Hearing Li Li's words, Sun Ce stood up with a groan, glared at Li Li angrily, and his whole body tensed up. Yes, like a sharp arrow drawn from a bow, it seemed ready to rush up to fight Li Li at any moment.

Chapter 047

"Bo Fu, I heard that you have recently given birth to a son. Congratulations!"

"Ah! What do you want to do? Do you want my son to be a hostage? Don't even think about it!" Hearing Li Li's words, Sun Ce rose from the ground with a bang, clenched his left hand into a fist and his right held the saber, full of anger. He glared at Li Li with a livid face.At this moment, his whole body was tense, like a sharp arrow drawn from a bow, as if he was ready to rush up to fight Li Li at any moment.

Seeing Sun Ce glaring at him angrily, Li Li smiled indifferently, waved his hands lightly and said, "Don't be anxious, Bo Fu. I heard that my nephew has just turned half a year old and is still a child waiting to be fed. I want him for what?

Although Li didn't dare to call himself a gentleman, he still wouldn't act like this.This kind of kidnapping of a half-year-old child as a hostage will never happen to me, Li Li.There is no doubt about this, Li Mou hates it deeply and disdains it! "

Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words, and his tense body relaxed slightly, but he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and still stared straight at Li Li.

He knew very well that Li Li didn't finish what he said, there was more to come, and the next words were the most critical.Whether he, Sun Ce, and the more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers under his tent can escape this catastrophe depends on the following.

But Li Li's next words made Sun Ce miscalculate again, or he didn't hear what he expected, but was disturbed by Li Li's sudden question.

"I don't know if Bofu still remembers the promise made under Dongyuan City four years ago, should he fulfill his promise now?"

"Huh? The appointment of Dongyuan City,,, four years ago?" Sun Ce responded in astonishment, frowning and thinking while pondering.It seems to be recalling whether there was an agreement with Li Li in the past, why I don't have the slightest impression.

Did Sun Ce really forget the agreement with Dongyuan City?

No, even if Lily forgot.He, Sun Ce, will not forget either.But he really wanted to forget, he forced himself to forget that alliance under the city countless times, and it was best not to mention it again for the rest of his life.Unfortunately, things backfired, and he still clearly remembers the scene at that time, because that scene has often appeared in his mind over the years, lingering and lingering, like a shadow.Always haunting.

In the winter four years ago, under Dongyuan Castle:

"I implore the general to be fulfilled, and I will be appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang. And inherit the title of Marquis of Wu Cheng from my father!"

"I can promise you that everything will be as you wish, and I will give you an imperial edict. However, Mr. Li has something to say first. If you still can't cross Jiangdong and expand in Jiangbei within ten years, when my army reaches the Yangtze River. I hope you can lead All surrender to me, don't resist needlessly, lest the lives of the people will be burned, and the Yangtze River will be stained with blood!"

"Okay, I will follow what the general said. From today on, you and I will make an oath by high-fiving for ten years. If you can reach the Yangtze River within the time limit, I, Sun Ce, will be willing to bow down and surrender; if not, the oath will be void. The next day , you and I will meet on the battlefield. Let’s fight again!"

"High fives!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

Ma'am.Sun Ce originally thought that these memories had been turned into dust, buried in the vicissitudes of life, but he did not expect to appear before his eyes again after four years.

In the battle of Dongyuan City, Sun Ce was severely injured by Ma Chao and almost died on the spot.When life and death were at stake, it was Ma Chao's subordinates who were merciful, and then Li Li rode out of the city. Not only did he not embarrass him, but he agreed to his request, issued the emperor's edict, and signed a ten-year contract with him.This is the "high-five oath" that has been spread all over the world in recent years, also known as "the covenant of Dongyuan City".

Afterwards, Sun Ce found out that Zhou Yu had secretly helped him in all this.When Zhou Yu served under Li Li's command, he had an agreement with Li Li that he would not be an enemy of Sun Ce for the rest of his life. If one day Sun Ce fell into Li Li's hands, he hoped that Li Li would spare him and not kill them all; Li Li agreed.

Because of this, in the battle of Dongyuan City, Li Li had the opportunity to kill Sun Ce, but due to the agreement with Zhou Yu and his own reputation, he finally showed mercy.Otherwise, maybe Sun Ce has been dead for a long time, how can he achieve today's achievements?

However, it was the gentleman's covenant between Zhou Yu and Li Li that invisibly made Li Li's reputation of keeping his promises and keeping promises.As a result, the aristocratic families of the world have gradually transformed from resolutely resisting the Xiliang Army at the beginning to relying on Li Li. As long as Li Li can give them a promise, they will spend a lot of money without frowning, and are willing to give generously.Luoyang City was rebuilt in this way. From the beginning to the end, Li Li built a huge city without paying a five baht coin.There is even a saying that is circulating in the world today: Emperor Wu for a hundred years will not reach Wuhou Yinuo.It can be seen from this that Li Li is now truly a man of words, he must do what he says, and he will do what he says, and his reputation for integrity has become a household name.

However, it was too heavy for Sun Ce to make a high-five with Li Li under Dongyuan City.

The ten-year agreement in the past has only passed four years now, but Li Li has led his army to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and at this moment, Sun Ce is once again trapped in the siege of the Xiliang army, and has become a piece of meat on Li Li's chopping board.

The past is still in front of our eyes, and now it is happening again. How embarrassing is this for Sun Ce, and how should he respond?

In addition, Sun Ce clearly knew that Li Li might be able to take into account the agreement with Zhou Yu in the past and show mercy to Sun Ce's subordinates; but today, after four years, Li Li may not be able to remember the agreement with Zhou Yu and let him go again.This is the so-called present is not what it used to be, and it is different from one moment to the next.

When Zhou Yu served under Li Li's command, Li Li's governing was limited to the two prefectures of Xiliang, and everything was still in the early stages of development.But now, Li Li's men are full of talents, with generals like clouds and talents like rain, with more than [-] soldiers, occupying half of the Han Dynasty; its territory starts from Liaodong in the east, reaches Xueyuan in the west, extends to Mobei in the north, and extends to the Yangtze River in the south. The territory is as large as no other in the world.

Therefore, will Li Li still take into account the agreement with Zhou Yu in the past?If he still keeps it in his heart, not only is he not a virtue, but he will be ridiculed by others for his stupidity, because he is not an ordinary person, but a mighty hero in troubled times.What's more, he has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and what he represents is no longer himself, but the hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of Liming people who follow him.If he still cares about his own contract at this time, and ignores the army and the people under his command, wouldn't it be chilling and cold?

Thinking of these, Sun Ce felt mixed feelings and mixed feelings.

The reason why he and Li Li swear by high-five back then was because Li Li was trapped in the siege and crusade of the Central Plains princes and allied forces, and the situation was critical and precarious.Therefore, he did not expect that the result of the Sili War was that Li Li won a complete victory, while the princes and allied forces were defeated, and each fled for their lives in a panic.For this reason, Sun Ce felt deeply guilty afterwards, and regarded the Dongyuan City Alliance as the greatest shame in his life.

But now that this matter has been spoken out in public again, and it comes from the mouth of Li Li, the party who made the covenant, this is tantamount to collecting debts face to face!

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is no way for Sun Ce to retreat, even if he categorically denies it, it would be in vain, how can he deny what is known in the world?

"Of course, the old covenant counts, but at this time, Sun may not have the strength to fight? It is too early to say that the covenant will be fulfilled. If it is time to fulfill the promise, how can I, Sun Ce, a man of eight feet, say nothing Believe me!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Ce stiffened his neck and said in a stiff voice.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of all Jiangdong generals present in the tent changed suddenly, and they lowered their heads one by one, with shame on their faces, ashamed to see others, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, as if they were relieved of a heavy burden.It is true that although Sun Ce kept saying that he would never go back on his word, he was actually denying it in public, but what Sun Ce said was the answer that Jiangdong generals were eager to hear.Otherwise, once Sun Ce lets go, how will the generals under his command deal with themselves and what should they do?

Although Sun Ce made excuses, he and all the generals under his command knew that the so-called strength in the first battle was actually just a dying struggle, and they could not defeat Li Li's Xiliang army at all.At present, Sun Ce still has more than 9000 soldiers and horses, of which [-] soldiers and horses are building ships by the river, and [-] soldiers and horses are temporarily stationed in Wanxian County. They are all in the buried hill camp.Therefore, fighting with the Xiliang army with this amount of soldiers and horses is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it will lead to death.

"Is that so?" Just as Sun Ce slowly took his seat, Li Li murmured unkindly, and then said solemnly: "In that case, it's useless to talk more, see you on the battlefield." At this point, Li Li suddenly paused, He raised his head and glanced at Sun Ce and Jiangdong generals who were flustered, then changed the topic of conversation abruptly, and said in a gentle and authentic tone: "It is said that Bofu has several younger brothers. The second younger brother, Sun Quan, is 16 years old. He has grown up and is smart since childhood. Diligent and eager to learn. My Chang'an Taixue is the first school in the Han Dynasty. It is a good place for my younger brother Sun Quan to study. Let him come to see me within five days, and then go to Chang'an with me. When he finishes his studies, he can return to Jiangdong !"

"This..." Sun Ce raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at Li Li with a face full of surprise, and weakly refused: "The leader just said that he disdains the matter of protons, why should he force others to make things difficult now?"

Before Sun Ce could finish speaking, Li Li stood up and said unquestionably, "I have made up my mind, and this matter is settled. Bring Sun Quan to me within five days, or you will all sleep here forever." Dispersed!" With a wave of his sleeves, Li Li turned and left the tent, leaving a group of Jiangdong generals with different expressions looking at each other, while Xiliang generals left the tent one after another full of doubts.

"Ah!" With a long sigh, Sun Ce looked at the door of the inner room behind the tent with resentment on his face, then struggled to get up, and walked out of the tent slowly, with extremely heavy steps.
