(PS: The second 5,000-word chapter, recommendation, reward, subscription and monthly pass, you want everything, do you have to listen to your will.) Thank you! )

——————————

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and countless stars dot the bright galaxy.

The moonlight at midnight is very beautiful, like a gentle and amorous beauty, half-concealed and shy, clean and elegant, graceful and moving. The starry sky is the maid of the moonlight beauty, flashing and flashing, like charming and moving beauty eyes, wanting to refuse and welcome, full of temptation in the flash, provocative.

The moonlight is far away, the stars are like rays, the sky is dark, and the light is faint, casting a layer of looming, hazy and chaotic light on the vast earth.

Under the cover of night, thousands of mountains are overlapped, and the Danjiang River is mighty.

Under the city of Wuguan, the flames soared into the sky, and the stars and the moon were destroyed.

In front of the pass, the 30,000 cavalry under the command of Lu Bu were panicked and crowded, and from time to time some soldiers were overturned to the ground and trampled to death by everyone. The morale of the 30,000 army was at the bottom, and there was no fighting spirit, but no one dared to turn around and flee.

Such scenes are truly appalling, and they are ancient and modern.

"Bongxian! Bongxian! Bongxian! You say something, if we continue like this, we will be killed! Just when Lu Bu was lost and stunned, Chen Gong was the first to wake up and whispered Lu Bu's name. But Lu Bu still sat on the horse, ignoring it, and in desperation, Chen Gong had no choice but to reach out and shake Lu Bu's left shoulder, and shouted eagerly.

"Huh?" Under the push of Chen Gong, Lu Bu finally reacted, was stunned, and then didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Chen Gong was in a hurry, and said urgently: "Fengxian, now our road ahead is blocked, and we are surrounded by the Wuwei army in the back. What a danger to the eggs! Looking at the Wuwei army on the hills on both sides, at least tens of thousands of armor soldiers, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to escape this time. But、、、、、、 don't you see that Li Li doesn't seem to be in a hurry to kill us, otherwise he would have ordered the Wuwei army on the mountain to attack? Once the boulders, rolling logs, and arrows fall down on the hills on both sides, we will die with no place to bury. But after such a long time, Li Li has not ordered an attack, which shows that we still have a chance to live! ”

"A glimmer of life?" Lu Bu finally spoke. Immediately, he grabbed Chen Gong's shoulders and asked urgently, "Tell me quickly, where is our glimmer of life?" What am I going to do. Will Li Li let me go? ”

Seeing that Lu Bu had finally come back to his senses, Chen Gong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Fengxian, Li Li can completely annihilate us under Wuguan City this time, but he hasn't ordered an attack for a long time?" In my guess. Li Li's move must have a plan, but it is a big plan. Big enough to trade the lives of 30,000 riders! ”

"Alas!" Lu Bu sighed in frustration. said urgently: "Gongtai, the situation is critical, don't sell it." Tell me, what does Li Li want? As long as he can let me live, I'll give him whatever he wants! ”

Chen Gong glanced up at Li Li on the city tower, and said to Lu Bu in a low voice, "What does Li Li want." I don't know. But I'm sure he's waiting for you to ask. Feng Xian, you immediately call and ask questions, I believe that Li Li will tell his true intentions. Without further ado. Late will change. At present, the officers and men of the whole army have lost their fighting spirit, and if they continue to wait like this, I am afraid that the soldiers will take the initiative to disarm and surrender, and by then everything will be over! ”

"It doesn't matter if it's 、、、、、、, it's dead or alive, in one fell swoop!" Lu Bu looked at the panicked army behind him suspiciously, and said stubbornly.

Immediately, Lu Bu looked up at Li Li on the city tower, lightly lifted the reins, and drove the red rabbit horse towards the pass.

———————————————

Upstairs in Wuguan City.

"Lord, Lu Bu's army is completely chaotic, order an attack at this time, and you can completely annihilate Lu Bu's 30,000 army within an hour!" Xu Rong looked down at the chaotic formation of Lu Bu's army under the city, and after many people were trampled to death, he said to Li Li with an excited expression.

"No hurry, no hurry." Li Li shook his head slightly and vetoed Xu Rong's proposal to attack immediately, and then he said with a smile: "If there is chaos today, the states and counties of the Central Plains are even more powerful, and the war is endless. Now my uncle and I have captured Chang'an, controlling the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, which is equivalent to holding the authority of the world. However, Wang Yun's death made the people of the world complain about me and my uncle, and many scribes and virtuous people also hated our uncle and nephew, and the princes of the towns were very jealous of us, and they wished that they were the ones who controlled the Son of Heaven. In short, my uncle and I are now a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh in the hearts of the princes of the world, and in the eyes of the world's scholars, our uncle and nephew have a bad reputation, and they are regarded as the rebels and thieves, and the culprits of the world.

In the face of such a dangerous situation, my uncle and I will stir up the sensitive nerves of the princes of the world as long as the slightest change will stir up. If our Western Liang Army wants to send troops to the eastern part of the country, maybe it will prompt them to unite again and form an allied army to resist our Western Liang Army together, and even the allied forces will attack Chang'an in one go and completely destroy us.

In the past, the Qin State fought against the Six Kingdoms, and fought continuously for decades but still did not dominate the world, in the final analysis, the six countries of the Central Plains were united and often united against the Qin State. After the unremitting efforts of several generations of Qin kings, the six kingdoms were finally unified in the hands of the first emperor. Now we occupy Xiliang and hold the Son of Heaven in our hands, which is very similar to the Qin State in the past, and even surpassed. Therefore, the princes of the world will always pay attention to our every move, and if there is a slight disturbance, they will be eyeing us. Therefore, it is impossible for us to enter the Central Plains at the moment, so we can only stay in a corner of Xiliang and sit and watch the princes of the Central Plains compete for hegemony.

Lu Bu, the tiger of the world. He has long been famous all over the world, and the heroes of the world are respectful and fearful, jealous and helpless about him. If he dies in the hands of my Li Li today, on the surface, I will naturally become famous in one fell swoop, but in fact, the gains outweigh the losses, and I will not please Haode for foolishness. What can I get by killing Lu Bu, except for a useless false name, it will make the princes of the world even more jealous of me, and always keep their eyes on me. Other than that, I don't get any tangible benefits. However, what would happen if I released Lu Bu today and asked him to take the Bingzhou army south to Jingxiang? ”

As soon as Li Li said this, all the generals looked at him dumbfounded, as if they knew him for the first time.

looked at the stunned eyes of the generals. Li Li smiled slightly, and then said: "There are many princes in the Central Plains, but they are all accumulating strength now, recruiting soldiers and horses, but they have not attacked each other for a long time, at least there is no large-scale fighting. But they are also a radish and a pit at the moment, each with their own territory, and while sticking to their territory, they are still peeking at other people's cities. At this time, I drove Lu Bu into the Central Plains. It was like throwing a tiger into a wolf pack, turning the already extremely turbid backwater of the Central Plains states and counties upside down and causing chaos. As long as they fight against each other and make enmity against each other. Then there is no possibility for them to join forces again to fight against our Xiliang Army. In this way, our Xiliang Army will be able to survive this game of chess. Advancing eastward can capture the three states of Merge, You, and Hebei. If you go south, you can go straight to Jingxiang and chase the Central Plains. In addition, we still have Hanzhong and Bashu and other places to be recovered in the southwest, and there are still a large number of alien barbarians in the west and north.

Therefore, our Xiliang Army has a long way to go in the future battle for the world. It's unpredictable! ”

Li Li's words drew a huge picture for the many generals beside him, and also made the generals clearly see the situation in the world, and also knew the grand blueprint and ambition in Li Li's chest.

At this moment, Xu Rong and Yang Ding glanced at each other. Then they nodded to each other without a trace. Xu Rong defected to Li Li before, but he was indeed forced by the situation and had to surrender. However, after listening to Li Li's words, he really strengthened his determination to follow Li Li in this life and do his best to achieve a thousand years of achievements. Previously, he had always been unpredictable about the relationship between Li Li and Li Dao, but at this moment he completely understood. Li Dao can't be compared with Li Li at all, whether it is open-mindedness, ambition, or mental scheming and control methods, Li Dao is far inferior to Li Li. Although the two are uncles and nephews of the same lineage, the gap between them is worlds apart, just like the bird's bird and the bird, which cannot be compared at all.

In an instant, Xu Rong felt that Dong Zhuo and Li Li were far from each other. If Dong Zhuo is replaced by Li Li today, maybe the world will not be what it is now, and the world will be unified in a very short time.

"Lord, Lu Bu is out of battle, as if he is going to step forward and shout." Just as the generals bowed their heads and pondered, Li Zhi said softly to Li Li.

"Well, it seems that Lu Bu hasn't been scared yet, and he still has some reason and guts." Li Li turned to look down at the city and said with a smile.

——————————————————

"Today, Lu is in prison, I don't know what Li Xiaoqi wants? Lu is willing to give everything he has, and implores Li Xiaoqi to spare the lives of tens of thousands of brothers behind Lu Mou's 、、、、、、! ”

Under the city pass, Lu Bu poured Fang Tian's halberd, stopped at Le Ma, and shouted loudly. It's just that he wanted to directly ask Li Li to spare his life, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly felt inappropriate, so he changed his inspiration to a righteous and awe-inspiring words of intercession for the 30,000 and state troops.

"Haha!" Li Li daxiao said: "Lu Bu, death is on the verge of death, you still want to save face so much, it seems that you have to wait until the big knife is on your neck before you kneel down and beg for mercy!" ”

Lu Bu was choked by Li Li's words, his face was red and his neck was thick, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and wisps of bloodshot suddenly appeared in his eyes. But he couldn't hold back his anger and didn't immediately speak ill of him and reprimand Li Li. At the stake of life and death, no matter how arrogant he is, after all, it is still important to save his life, everything else is insignificant, and it is expected that he will suffer some humiliation and sarcasm.

Holding back the evil anger in his heart, Lu Bu looked up at Li Li again, and shouted loudly: "Li Xiao rides, becomes the king and loses the king, and Lu admits defeat." In the future, when he meets Li Xiaoqi again, Lu is willing to take a detour, and asks Li Xiaoqi to leave a way for Lu and his soldiers to live! ”

Under the illumination of countless torches, the light under the turn was very good, and Li Li's eyesight had never been bad, so the hideous color on Lu Bu's face completely fell in Li Li's eyes.

Hearing Lu Bu's words begging for mercy again, Li Li pondered for a moment and said loudly: "Okay, God has the virtue of a good life, and I, Li Li, am not a person who loves to kill." Since Wen Hou is so honest, I won't hide it. As long as Wen Hou agrees to my two requests, I will let you pass tonight and will no longer chase and kill you! ”

"Li Xiaoqi, please say, as long as Lu can do it, he will definitely do it!" Lu Bu said eagerly.

Seeing Lu Bu's eager answer, Li Li showed a habitual smile on the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Then I'll say it directly." There is only one chance, if Wen Hou hesitates or does not agree, then don't blame me for killing. First, hand over the two generals Zhang Liao and Cao Xing; Second. Left behind 800 soldiers in the camp. With the above two conditions, Wen Hou must order them in public to belong to my Li Li from now on! ”

"Okay, Lu agreed!" Lu Bu really agreed without hesitation. Immediately, he was worried that Li Li would backtrack, and said loudly: "Li Xiaoqi's two conditions, Lu has agreed, I hope you keep your promises, don't lose your trust in front of the two armies!" ”

"Haha! I, Li Li, have never broken my trust in others, I haven't done it before, and I won't have it in the future! Li Li said.

When Lu Bu heard this, his cheeks turned red. Immediately, he turned around and returned to the front of the military formation, and shouted: "Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, fall into the camp and get out of the ranks!" ”

After Zhang Liao and Cao Xing heard this, they glanced at each other with complicated expressions, and immediately hit their horses and went out of battle. Come to the city pass. And the 800 soldiers trapped in the camp are now less than 800, only more than 700. They were then listed. Standing behind Zhang Liao and Cao Xing.

"Wait for the order, from today on, you will be the soldiers under Li Xiaocai. This is a military order, and it must not be disobeyed! Lu Bu ordered in a deep voice with a grim face.

"No!" Zhang Liao and Cao Xing, as well as the soldiers of the trapped camp behind them, led in unison.

In this promise, it contains extremely complex tones and emotions, and the voice is extremely loud and resolute. The sound shook all over the wilderness, so that even the Wuwei army standing on the top of the mountain could hear it clearly.

Lu Bu didn't look at Zhang Liao and the others with a gloomy face, turned to Li Li and shouted, "Li Xiaoqi, as you wish." They're your men from now on! ”

Li Li stood at the head of the city and looked down at Lu Bu with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Very good, Wen Hou is really a resolute person, decisive in killing, and neither Zhi Jinwu nor Dong Xiangguo misjudged you." Stand back and wait a moment, and then you can lead your troops through the level! ”

After a pause, Li Li said to Zhang Liao and Cao Xing: "Zhang Liao and Cao Xing, are you two willing to surrender to me?" Don't be in a hurry to answer, in the presence of the soldiers of the two armies, I can promise you both that even if you don't want to defect to me, I will still let you out tonight. ”

Zhang Liao and Cao Xing looked up at Li Li on the city tower in astonishment, and then the two of them glanced at each other, turned over and dismounted and walked to Lu Bu's mount, and bowed three times.

Zhang Liao immediately got up and said in a deep voice: "General Lu, my husband is true to his word, and from today onwards, we will break off our friendship. Farewell, General Lu, take care! ”

Cao Xuan followed closely behind Zhang Liao, waved his hand, and said, "Don't leave it here, General Lu take care." ”

Immediately, Zhang Liao and Cao Xing turned over and got on their horses, waved their big hands, and walked straight to the city gate with the trap camp. When they walked to the city gate, they saw a crisp sound of the city gate, Li Zhi and Dian Wei personally pushed open the two gates, and Li Li strode out of the city.

"The last general, Zhang Liao (Cao Xing), meets the lord!" Zhang Liao and Cao Xing immediately dismounted and bowed down.

Li Li said with a smile: "I thought that the two of you were going to take the trap camp out of the customs, and I was going to come down to see you off in person." I didn't think you would have changed your mind and were willing to join me, okay, very good! Wen Yuan, Cao Xing, and the brothers who are trapped in the camp, all get up. The night is heavy and dewy, they are all their own brothers, so there is no need to be so formal. Hehehe! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were pulled up by Li Li and forced.

After the soldiers in the trapped camp got up, Li Li said with a smile: "The west is cold and bitter, and there is endless turmoil, so there is a lack of loyal and brave people like you, and if you have any difficulties in the Wuwei army in the future, you will come to me." I forcibly left you behind, and I will naturally be responsible for you to the end. Come, step aside for the time being, and make way for Wen Hou so that Wen Hou's army can get out of the pass. ”

"Wen Hou, please get out of the customs!" Li Li stood on the east side of the city gate and said loudly to Lu Bu in front of the Le Ma formation.

"Let's go!" When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately waved his hand and signaled his own soldiers to go first, while he stayed in the Chinese army and walked slowly. When he saw his soldiers pass through the city gate without hindrance, he rushed into the city gate with his horse and whip, and walked away without looking back.

"Hehehe!" Seeing Lu Bu pass through the city gate, Li Li shook his head slightly and smiled dumbly.

Dian Wei said disdainfully: "The last general really misjudged Lu Bu before. I didn't expect him to be so unbearable, he was too cautious, let his own soldiers explore the way first, and then ran away impatiently. With the heart of a villain, he spends the belly of a gentleman, and thinks that everyone is as capricious as him! ”

Li Li smiled and said nothing, watching Lu Bu's army walk over one after another, and when Chen Gong entered the door, he nodded slightly, as if in response to Dian Wei's words.

Half an hour later, the east and west sides were reunited, and Lu Bu's army had already left at this time, and the Wuwei army on the hills on both sides also came back from the mountain.

On the tower of the city, Zhang Liao looked down at the soldiers of the Wuwei Army who entered the city, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Lord, why only 5,000 soldiers have come back, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers who don't need to go back to the city to rest?" ”

"Hehehe! Such a small trick as a blind trick, can't Wen Yuan see it? Li Li said with a smile.

"Ah, it turns out that there are only five thousand people on the hills on both sides!" Zhang Liao exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Rong said with a smile when he heard this: "Yes, the lord only brought 5,000 soldiers on this trip, and the Wuguan garrison only had 3,000 foot soldiers. Just now, there were 2,500 soldiers on each side of the hill, and everyone lined up in turn, and the figures behind them were all straw men. As for the figures a few miles away, they are all fake, all of them are straw men tied to the branches, and there is no time to tie the branches of the straw people and hang a pair of armor directly. The torches were tied to the branches of the trees in advance, located in front of the soldiers, and when they looked up from the bottom of the mountain, the fire was dazzling, and it looked densely packed with people. For the sake of the straw man, seven or eight thousand of us were busy all day, but fortunately, this day's work was not in vain. A little torch scared Lu Bu to urine, and without spending a single soldier, he exchanged Wen Yuan and Cao Xing, the two tiger generals and more than 700 heavy armored soldiers trapped in the camp. Hehehe———"

Li Li looked at Zhang Liao and Cao Xing, and smiled heartily: "Thousands of troops are easy to get, and it is hard to find, all of this is worth it!" —————— (To be continued) (To be continued......
