And all this is directly related to Li Li's special admiration for the two of them.From the moment the two of them were ordered to go to Chang'an, Li Li looked at the two of them differently, and often regarded himself as a junior, giving them both extremely high courtesy.Even though Zhang Ji held a little hostility towards Li Li at first, Li Li didn't care about it, and still treated him with courtesy, calling him his senior and treating him as an elder.

Not to mention the treatment of Hua Tuo.There are only a handful of people who can freely enter and leave the General's Mansion on weekdays, and there are very few who can meet Li Li at any time, and Hua Tuo is one of them.In addition, he is a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion, and every time he makes a new gadget or delicious food, he has a share; even if he doesn't come in person, the inner mansion will send someone to deliver it to him.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the deep personal relationship between the two genius doctors and Li Li that Li Li has devoted a lot of thought to the medical school over the years, and his material and financial resources have also been tilted toward the medical school.Every time a salary is paid or some pioneering work Li Li came up with, they have priority, so the School of Medicine is the most dazzling and most eye-catching institution among the three universities of Taixue.

This time Li Li fell ill suddenly, and within a quarter of an hour of receiving the letter from Feiying, the two genius doctors packed up and set off immediately.At first, the two of them rode on the road, but because they were too old to bear the fatigue of the pommel horse, they changed to a horse-drawn carriage and continued on their way.Along the way, they traveled night and day, without stopping for a moment, until they entered Bingzhou and learned that Li Li was awake and safe, and then they slowed down and rushed to the Sheriff's Mansion slowly.

The two consecutive days and nights of traveling day and night really tossed Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji so much that their old bones were almost torn apart.However, the moment they saw Li Li coming out of the house unharmed to greet them both, the two old men ignored the pain of the bumps and asked Li Li to go back to the house as soon as possible to give him a diagnosis and treatment until his condition was confirmed. Only when the body is as strong as a cow can one feel completely at ease.

Human hearts are grown by flesh.The two genius doctors cared so much about him, and they have always been teachers and friends with him, and Li Li has always regarded them as elders and respected them very much.Therefore, after they finished treating Liu Bei and Guan Yu, Li Li hosted a banquet in the lobby to entertain them, and sat at the same table with him, eating and drinking together.

As the night darkened, Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji got up to say goodbye, and Li Li personally sent them out of the mansion and watched them enter the posthouse.

"Liu Bei's life is really tough. He broke his arm and broke his legs, but he can still save his life! Tsk tsk tsk, it's really amazing!" Looking at the soldiers from a distance, they sent the two genius doctors into the post , Li Li sighed to himself.

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. I will bring you a brocade robe for my husband. Please put it on." With an affectionate voice, Lu Lingqi, who was a new wife, tiptoed and gave Li Li the brocade robe that she had been holding in her hand. Put it on, and fasten the brocade belt skillfully.

Let Lu Lingqi fasten her brocade robe, Li Li smiled warmly, stretched out her ape arms to embrace her, and said with a smile: "Madam is the most thoughtful and considerate." lips, kissed until Lu Lingqi couldn't breathe.

Lu Lingqi, who was suddenly attacked, was shocked and her delicate face was flushed. She was worried about being seen, but also had an unspeakable joy and uncontrollable impulse.In an instant, she abandoned all thoughts, responded fiercely, and kissed Li Li passionately.After seeing this scene, Li Zhi, who had been following Li Li for a long time, immediately turned away the soldiers around him, and surrounded Li Li and Lu Lingqi with his own soldiers, keeping the two passionately kissing behind them, so as not to be caught people peeping.

"Phew!" After the passionate kiss, Lu Lingqi let out a long breath, and her huge breasts set off a huge wave. This scene happened to fall in Li Li's sight.Immediately there was an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, he kissed Lu Lingqi's earlobe lightly, and whispered softly, "You are so beautiful, do you still want tonight?"

Li Li originally thought that Lu Lingqi would turn red with shame after hearing the words, so she reluctantly left his embrace, because she was already crazy enough last night, she scored three goals in the first night, so that she slept soundly this morning.However, Lu Lingqi's answer was completely beyond his expectation, and she was limp in Li Li's arms, whispering softly: "It's late at night, husband, take my concubine and go back home to rest."

"Uh, good! Hahaha!" In the stunned response, Li Li laughed loudly while hugging Lu Lingqi, strode across the front yard, and walked straight into the back yard.

On a clear night after the rain, the stars are shining, the moon is hanging high, and the air is particularly fresh.

The evening breeze blows gently, the willow leaves in the courtyard flutter, the wind carries the fragrance of flowers, and the sound of frogs in the distant pond can be heard.

The night is as cool as water.Under the porch of the main courtyard of the State Shepherd's Mansion in Yecheng, Cao Cao stood on the jade steps in a brocade robe and looked up at the sky for a long time.

At this time, it had been four days since Li Lili's troops broke out of the city, but there was no news in the mountains and forests southeast of Huguan, and Liu Bei's ambush troops were like mud cows falling into the sea without any news.For this reason, Cao Cao sent five batches of scouts to inquire about the news, but did not find any clues.

The reason for this is all because there has been a heavy rain every evening in the past few days.

What is rather strange is that the heavy rain that has been coming in for the past few days has been fierce, but it has also gone quickly.At the beginning, there was lightning, thunder, and heavy rain, but the heavy rain stopped less than half an hour before and after, and then the sky was full of stars and the moon was shining brightly.

In this way, the scene of the fight between Liu Bei's subordinates and Li Li's army was washed clean, leaving no trace.In addition, Zhuge Liang once sent people to carefully clean the battlefield, and went deep under the cliff to collect the corpses.So several waves of troops sent by Cao Cao searched the mountains and forests, and even sneaked into the city of Huguan to inquire, but they never found any news.

In fact, Cao Cao had already guessed the result of Liu Bei leading his troops to ambush Li Li.

It's just that he didn't want to admit this result until he got the exact news, and he always took chances, hoping that Liu Bei, Guan Yu brothers, and the more than a thousand elite troops would live up to expectations, succeed in the ambush, and kill Li Li in one fell swoop.This was the good news he was most looking forward to and eager to hear in the past four days: Liu Bei and Guan Yu succeeded in sniping, and Li Li died.

Therefore, Cao Cao, who won the final victory in the fierce battle in Hebei, all the great joy after the victory disappeared with the successful breakthrough of Li Lili's troops, replaced by worries and sleepless nights.It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment Li Li has become a curse hidden in Cao Cao's heart, an endless nightmare.

Chapter 090

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment Li Li has become a curse hidden in Cao Cao's heart, an endless nightmare.

If Li Li didn't die for a day, he, Cao Cao, would have trouble sleeping and eating, like a thorn in his throat, like a thorn in his back, and there would never be a day of peace.

What he was most proud of four days ago was that Li Li became a turtle in the urn, and it was impossible to escape, but even though Li Li didn't have wings, he still escaped in the end.

Cao Cao really won the battle of Hebei this time, earning a lot of money, the real big winner.However, this big victory was a fluke, a sudden victory, and an unforced victory.

After the big victory, Cao Cao deeply knew that as long as Li Li escaped alive, the battle of Hebei would not be over, at most it would go halfway through, that is, the first half of the round.Although he has won the first half of the round, Li Li has already revealed all the arrangements for the second half of the round.In this way, the situation in the second half of the game is worrying, and the person who wins the second half of the game means that he has everything, including a temporary loss or victory in the first half.

Only when you laugh at the end can you laugh brightly, so Cao Cao really can't laugh at this time.Even though his face was full of smiles in front of people, in the dead of night he was worried, tossing and turning, making it difficult to sleep.

Cao Cao, who had been standing on the porch for a long time, suddenly walked down the jade steps slowly, paced in the courtyard, and muttered to himself: "Singing to wine, what is life like? Like the dew in the morning, the days are bitter. Generosity should be generous, and worries will be unforgettable." .How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang. Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. But for the sake of the king, I have pondered until now."

"Tom tom tom!" Just as Cao Cao was still thinking, a burst of hurried footsteps disrupted his thoughts and made him suddenly wake up.Turn around and look at the person who came.After seeing who it was, he frowned instantly, vaguely guessing that it was definitely not a good thing for Xun Yu to come late at night.It must have brought back news about Li Li.

"Wen Ruo brought news of Thief Li?" Before Xun Yu could speak, Cao Cao hurried up to meet him and asked in a deep voice.

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Fortunately, the lord has not gone to bed, otherwise I will disturb the lord." While speaking, Xun Yu took out a stack of brocade from his bosom, and handed it to Cao Cao with both hands.Gasp again.

It is true that Xun Yu's words were not out of politeness, but out of gratitude.If Cao Cao has fallen asleep at this time.He really didn't dare to rush into the dormitory to report to Cao Cao, probably because Cao Cao had a weird habit of killing people in his dreams.This habit is not born there, it is completely acquired.

The source of this bad habit is the habit that Cao Cao gradually developed after he failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo and was extremely frightened on the way to escape.And it is closely related to Chen Gong, the chief counselor under Lv Bu's account in Xuzhou.that day.After Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he fled Luoyang in a hurry. When he passed through Zhongmu County, he was captured by Chen Gong, the county magistrate at that time. Seek great things.

However, the two fled together and stayed at the home of Cao Cao's uncle Lu Boshe, but because of Cao Cao's suspicious nature, they killed Lu Boshe's family by mistake.And afterwards, he resolutely refused to admit his mistakes, and kept saying: "It is better for me to blame others than for others to blame me."This made Chen Gong completely disappointed with Cao Cao.He thinks he has seen his true face clearly, and believes that Cao Cao is a treacherous villain who is as big a fake as the real, and as treacherous as loyal.

The two of them shared the same room that night, Chen Gong tossed and turned sleeplessly, but Cao Cao, who killed Lu Boshe's family, fell asleep like mud.So Chen Gong was furious, and he stood up to draw his sword to kill Cao Cao and seek justice for Lu Boshe's family.However, Chen Gong couldn't do anything after all, thinking that he and Cao Cao knew each other somehow and saved him before, if he killed him now, wouldn't he become a capricious villain?The sharp sword that was about to be pulled out was inserted into Cao Cao's bedside, and Gu Zi left overnight. Since then, Chen Gong and Cao Cao have parted ways.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Cao woke up to the sound of cocks, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the gleaming blade of the sword, which was only an inch away from his head.At that moment, Cao Cao was scared out of his wits and was terrified. He didn't dare to move for a long time. After confirming that he was unharmed, he stared at the sharp sword and slowly got up. Then he left in a hurry and rushed back to his hometown day and night.

Since then, Cao Cao always kept a short dagger by his hand when he went to sleep at night, and he could touch it with his hand.For this reason, the maids and entourages who served him were often killed in the middle of the night, just because the maids and entourages saw him kicking off the quilt, or went to close the lattice window, or saw him creeping away after he fell asleep. He went in to blow out the oil lamp, but unexpectedly awakened Cao Cao in his sleep, which in turn caused his death.

Over the years, Cao Cao's personal servants have changed from batch to batch, all of whom were frightened by his habit of killing people in his dreams. The ghost under the knife in his sleep.

However, Cao Cao's self-justified claim that "I like to kill people in my dreams" may be able to deceive most people, but it cannot deceive the wise and wise Xun Yu.As early as a few years ago, after Cao Cao first killed an attendant who had served him for many years who covered him with a quilt in the middle of the night for the first time, Xun Yu found out the whole story in private, and he has been careful since then, lest one day he would be surprised. Accidentally became the unjust soul of Cao Cao's dream of killing people.

In fact, Cao Ren, Cao Chun and other relatives of the Cao family also broke into Cao Cao's bedroom late at night, but they were not killed.This virtually confirmed Xun Yu's judgment. Cao Cao didn't like to kill people in his dreams, but was terrified by Chen Gong's actions that night. Since then, he has left a shadow, always suspecting that others tried to murder him while he was asleep.So he claimed that "I like to kill people in my dreams", so as to deter the servants around him from approaching him when he was asleep, otherwise he would be plotting a crime, and he would not be punished for his death.

Amidst his thoughts, Xun Yu breathed slowly, adjusted his breath, and followed Cao Cao into the inner hall.

Seeing Cao Cao spread out the brocade silk to look at it under the light, Xun Yu explained in a low voice: "This is just sent by General Cao Ren. According to the report of the sentry cavalry, this letter is General Cao Ren who intercepted and killed the sentry cavalry of Xiliang. The seized money, the letter intercepted at noon, was sent back by the sentry on a fast horse. After receiving this letter, I did not dare to delay, so I came to report it to my lord late at night." After explaining the origin of this secret letter in detail, Xun Yu no longer Talk too much.Wait quietly for Cao Cao to read the letter word by word.

Cao Cao took the letter and read it three times over and over again, then handed the letter to Xun Yu, and then remained silent.He walked to the table and sat down, holding a wine cup and staring at it for a long time.

There are not many words on the letter, just over a hundred characters. Its content is that Li Li ordered Zhang Yan, who was defeated in Changshan, to lead his troops back to Bingzhou, and to replenish the troops on the spot. The General's Mansion uniformly supplements and distributes.It's that simple.There is no other information, not even a word.

However, it was this seemingly worthless letter that hit Cao Cao's heart like a heavy hammer.It made him heartbroken and remorseful.

This military order for Li Li to dispatch troops and horses revealed many things that Cao Cao was eager to know.First, more than 1000 black-clothed retinues led by Liu Bei and Guan Yu failed to intercept and kill.And it was annihilated.None of them slipped through the net, including Liu Bei and Guan Yu.Second, the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army that besieged Jizhou are shrinking their forces, quickly replenishing their soldiers and horses, and actively recovering their strength. The ordnance reserves in the Chang'an General's Mansion are sufficient, which can replenish all the weapons and equipment of the damaged soldiers and horses.Thirdly, and most importantly, Li Li was indeed still alive.He has returned to Bingzhou unscathed, and is dispatching troops.Maybe it will make a comeback in a few days, and the army will be overwhelming.And this is precisely what Cao Cao is most worried about.

If Li Li mobilizes an army to attack Jizhou again, Cao Cao will face an extremely severe situation. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to resist Li Li's army's all-out counterattack.This is because he needs time to reorganize the nearly 20 army left by Yuan Shao, and more time to reorganize the officials of the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Jizhou, rearrange his direct descendants to take over the counties and counties of Jizhou, and train soldiers and horses to form an army. Or several powerful cavalry teams.

In the past, he wanted to form a cavalry, but he was forced to have no good horses, but now he has horses, and the number is huge, enough to form a cavalry of 5 people. These horses were captured by the Xiliang Army after the victory in Yecheng Excellent war horse.According to post-war statistics, in the battle of Yecheng alone, Cao Jun captured no less than 1 war horses, and more than [-] wounded war horses.On the other three battlefields, thousands or tens of thousands of Xiliang horses were also seized, which can be said to be quite fruitful.All the captured war horses add up to more than [-] horses, which is undoubtedly a huge and incomparable strategic resource.As long as Cao Cao is given enough time, he can use all these horses to form an elite cavalry that can compete head-on with the Xiliang iron cavalry.

The cavalry is Li Li's strongest combat force to rule the world, and it is also the key to the Xiliang army's overwhelming power over the princes of the towns.Cao Cao had long wanted to form a war cavalry that could compete with the Xiliang army, but he was forced to have no source of war horses, but everything was no problem after this battle.Therefore, what he needs most right now is time, time to strengthen his strength, time to completely digest Jizhou, and time to build a powerful army.

After reading the letter, Xun Yu walked lightly to Shuai's case, put the letter on the desk, and turned back.He knew what Cao Cao was thinking at the moment. After all, he had followed Cao Cao for many years. Although he dared not say that he had completely understood Cao Cao's mind, he could at least guess [-]% of it.

Seeing that Cao Cao was frowning, Xun Yu said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. If my predictions are correct, Li Thief will not attack Jizhou again in the short term. First, in this battle of Hebei, Li Thief lost his troops and lost his generals. The damage is huge, and we can't recover our strength in a short period of time. Second, Li Li is facing more than our family of princes at the moment, and it can be said that he has made enemies on all sides, which forces him to be unable to fight us to the end with all his strength.

Third, the Xiliang army was newly defeated, its troops were frustrated, and its morale was low. If there was another battle, even if Li Bandit had all-powerful abilities, he would not be able to quickly improve his morale and restore it to its previous strong state.From this point of view, Li thief resolutely gave up Jizhou, shrinking his troops, recovering his strength, and adopting a defensive posture is extremely likely.Therefore, my lord, there is no need to worry. Now our army is not weaker than Thief Li, so I am not afraid of him leading the army to attack. "

After a short pause, Xun Yu changed the subject and said in a low voice: "At this moment, I am not worried about Li's bandit attacking Jizhou again, but more worried about the situation in Jizhou. Yuan Shao's two sons are fleeing, and the rich family of Jizhou is not worried about the situation in Jizhou. The leader of Jizhou does not agree, and the generals of Jizhou and our army have many conflicts; there is also the general of Jizhou, Ju Yi, who supports himself and has already separated the two counties of Changshan and Zhongshan. His attitude is unclear, and he seems to be still waiting and watching.
