I was busy a few times, and I couldn't help myself.

Although Li Li kept saying that he had been with his wife and concubine for three days, there were still a few things that needed to be solved urgently that he needed to come forward in person to get things done.

Fortunately, Li Xin and the others were all intellectual women who knew the general situation and understood things, and when they learned that Li Li had important matters in their bodies, instead of blocking him, they urged him to deal with important military affairs.

If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?

The main hall of 郿武.

In the back hall, Li Li sat upright, placed a small table in front of him, and the wine and food were ready, waiting for the guests to come.

Looking at the territory of Xiliang, there are only a handful of people who can make Li Li prepare a banquet in advance, or even none.

Even if Liu Xie, the son of heaven, is no exception.

However, today Li Li is unusual, holding a banquet in the back hall, and still waiting for the guests to come.

This move is really surprising, who can make him deign to wait?

"Oooo

After a while, there was a steady footstep outside the door. Obviously, the person who came was the one who Li Li was waiting for at the banquet.

"Lord, Gao Shun brings it." Before anyone entered the door, Li Zhi walked into the hall lightly and reported in a low voice.

"Please come in." Li Li bowed his head slightly and said in a harmonious voice.

As the voice came out of the door, a burly man in a coarse cloth robe, black hair and shawl, with a mustache and a resolute face slowly walked into the inner hall.

This person is Gao Shun and Gao Xiaogong, who have been missing for a long time.

In other words, he was the former leader of the trapped camp who had been under house arrest for nearly half a year, and was regarded by Lu Bu as the right-hand general of Lu Bu, the left arm was Zhang Liao, the captain of the wolf cavalry army, and the "right arm" was Gao Shun.

Looking at Gao Shun with a cold face on his face, Li Li looked calm, raised his hand and said, "I have been waiting for filial piety for a long time, please take a seat." ”

Gao Shun looked coldly at Li Li, who was dressed in a cloth robe. His expression did not move, he bowed slightly behind him, and knelt opposite Li Li.

Li Li didn't care about Gao Shun's indifference, Gu Zizi poured Gao Shun's wine bottle full, then picked up the wine bottle, and said in a harmonious voice: "Please raise your glass to filial piety, this is the osmanthus wine from Jingzhou, which has been stored for ten years, which is extremely rare." Please fill this bottle! ”

Gao Shun stared at Li Li and hesitated for a moment. He took the bottle and drank it all, and then sat there without saying a word.

After Li Li finished drinking, he filled the wine bottle in front of him again, and cut off a piece of cooked meat with a short dagger. Eat and drink by yourself, no longer greet Gao Shun.

It's like no one around. Ignore.

Half an hour later. Li Li ate and drank to his heart's content, took the cloth towel handed by Li Zhi, wiped his mouth, and wiped his hands. Immediately, he waved his hand and motioned for the attendant to remove the banquet and put hot tea on the table.

"Whoa!"

Pour a cup of hot tea into the teacup in front of Gao Shun with your own hands. Li Li picked up the teacup and said in a harmonious voice: "This tea is the green tea picked in the south mountain of Wuguan before the Ming Dynasty, it is fragrant and fragrant, and the water is clear and sweet. The aftertaste is long, and it is really the best in tea. Please try it! ”

After speaking, Li Li gently smelled the fragrance of tea, took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and recuperated, and sat motionless.

Gao Shun, who was sitting opposite him, did not pick up the teacup for a long time, his expression moved slightly, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes, as if he was desperate and moved, and his eyes showed a touch of struggle.

Jingzhou's osmanthus wine, Wuguan's Mingqian tea, Li Li's move is intriguing!

Gao Shun was strict in the army, and when he was in the barracks, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, but this is not to say that he never drank alcohol. On the contrary, he had nothing in his life but good wine. He doesn't even look at ordinary wine, but it is not a fine wine, he only needs to smell the aroma of the wine to know the quality of the wine. However, he was extremely self-disciplined and self-restrained, and he never drank alcohol when leading his troops, even fine wine. But he hasn't led troops for half a year now, so naturally he doesn't need to ban alcohol.

Therefore, Li Li set up a banquet invitation and poured wine for toasting, Gao Shun didn't care about anything else, and drank with a toast. But Li Li then refused to persuade him to drink, and even if he wanted to drink again, he could not speak, so he sat quietly and remained silent.

Gao Shun is innocent, honest and frank, and alcohol is forbidden in the army, so he often replaces wine with tea and chats to masturbate. Li Li invited him to drink Mingqian tea, which was also his preference. However, Li Li said that this tea was the pre-Ming tea on the southern mountain of Wuguan. There is no problem with the tea itself before the Ming Dynasty, but "Wuguan" touched Gao Shun's heart, which made him realize in an instant and regret it.

It was only at this time that Gao Shunfang understood that Li Li's banquet was a good banquet, but in fact, he was setting a trap for him and letting him get in by himself.

From ancient times: toast without eating and drinking.

As soon as Gao Shun entered the door, he ate Li Li's toast. For this alone, he fell into the trap that Li Li had already set up and toasted, which meant that he was willing to surrender and was unwilling to eat punishment wine, but this wine was Jingzhou's osmanthus wine. Jingzhou is the place that Lu Bu wanted to occupy when he led his army south.

For half a year, although Gao Shun has been under house arrest, he knows everything that happened in Chang'an City, and every day the jailers reveal to him the major events that happened outside. Therefore, he knew the whereabouts of Lu Bu's army well, and he was even more clear about what happened to Lu Bu on the way south to Jingxiang.

Today, when Gao Shun drank the osmanthus wine, he was still in the dark, and he didn't know how powerful it was. However, when he heard Li Li saluting his Ming Qian tea from Wuguan, he realized it later, and instantly figured out the true intention of Li Li's repeated toasts and teas.

Since you have already eaten Li Li's toast, should you also drink Wuguan's Ming Qian tea?

Under the city of Wuguan, in order to get out of the city and survive, Lu Bu personally ordered the trapping camp and Zhang Liao and Cao Xing to serve Li Li. And he Gao Shun is not only the leader of the trapped camp, but also a member of the trapped camp. Now that he is trapped in the camp is a pawn under Li Li, then he Gao Shun is also a soldier under Li Li's account, at least nominally.

Thinking about the key clearly, Gao Shun was extremely bitter and suffering in his heart.

Serving Li Li meant that he turned his back on his old lord Lu Bu, which was something he never thought of. He was innocent all his life, his loyalty was greater than the sky and thicker than the earth, and even if he lost his life, he was unwilling to bear the infamy of betraying his old master. However, now that he had eaten Li Li's toast, how could he refuse Li Li's intention to surrender? If this is the case, is he not a man of faith and righteousness?

Do you want the world to say that he is high and greedy for fine wine, disgusted with bitter tea, and is a person who is inconsistent with what he looks out and what he sells? If he bears such an infamy, then he is loyal and righteous all his life and a clean man, isn't he pretending to be a gesture and greedy for fame?

Previously, Gao Shun had never understood why Li Li was able to defeat Lu Bu. Surrender the Xiliang army, occupy Chang'an, and take charge of the world; But he understood it all by now.

Li Li is too insidious, too cunning, too smart, and too ruthless!

This time, Li Li set up a banquet, and he didn't say a word to persuade him to surrender, but he kept setting up a game, pulling Gao Shun into the urn unconsciously.

As a result, Gao Shun woke up too late. They are already in the middle of the situation, and it is too late.

Li Li's persuasion is not to promise high-ranking officials, nor to use beautiful women, let alone verbal persuasion, he will not make a move. As soon as he made a move, he was punished.

For half a year, Gao Shun has been in prison. Nobody cares. And now someone is finally willing to see him. Unexpectedly, this is the end.

"It is best to eat tea 70% hot and drink it hot. When it is warm, the tea will change flavor and color, and the taste will be light and astringent; When cooled, the tea is dim, bitter and astringent. Not good for the body and mind. Just as Gao Shun was struggling in his heart, Li Li closed his eyes and muttered leisurely.

"Huh?" Gao Shun was stunned and glared at Li Li angrily. His face was full of resentment.

At this time, Li Li suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Gao Shun calmly, and said softly: "Xiaogong, at this time, the tea is still warm, and it can be drunk." Please drink this tea. ”

"If you don't drink, what are you going to do?" Gao Shun asked in a deep voice with a cold expression.

Li Li said unmoved: "This tea is not easy to come by, born on the top of Xiangyang Mountain, there is only a short and half month picking period in a year, and it is not a tea before the Ming Dynasty after Qingming." When picking, it is also quite particular, you must wait until the morning dew dissipates, and pick it by the girl, one tip and two leaves, no more, no less. Xiaogong is a person who has good wine and tea, and should know that the better things are, the rarer they are, and they are hard-won and should be cherished. If filial piety is unwilling to drink this tea, anyway, this cup of tea is also filial piety, you yourself still don't know how to cherish it, abandon it, why should Li be amorous, pour it out! ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he immediately picked up the teacup, and was about to flip the teacup and pour out the tea, but unexpectedly, Li Li said again: "Li Mou warmly invited and treated each other honestly, but he really valued filial piety and the talent of leading the troops. In the past, Lu Fengxian had ordered 800 soldiers to fall into the camp under my command Li Li, but in fact there were only more than 700 people, and the remaining crippled people were either killed or captured, but these soldiers should also be my pawns. Since Xiao Gong is a member of the trapped camp, he should know that the military order cannot be violated, I order you to eat this tea, you want to disobey! ”

"This 、、、、、、 you are a strong word! A certain family has not received my lord's order, how can it be counted? Gao Shun held the teacup tightly in his hand and asked in a deep voice angrily.

Li Li smiled slightly, and said softly: "Under Wuguan City, tens of thousands of soldiers are on the side, and Lu Fengxian gave an order in public in front of everyone. Could it be that Xiao Gong's upper and lower lips touched, and a sentence could cover up the facts that everyone knew without Lu Bu's personal order? If this is the case, then it is not Li Mou's strong words, but filial piety and self-righteousness, right? If filial piety is really such a faithless and unrighteous person, who reverses right and wrong, Li is reluctant to say more, filial piety, please take care of yourself! ”

After speaking, Li Li stood up, smoothed his clothes, and strode towards the door.

"General Lee, slow down!" Gao Shun suddenly said loudly.

Li Li slowly turned around, raised his eyes to look at Gao Shun, and said in a deep voice: "What advice does General Gao have, might as well speak up?" ”

At this time, the expression on Gao Shun's face was no longer calm and indifferent before, his expression was extremely decadent, and his eyes revealed a thick desolation. I saw him say in a low tone: "Right now, General Li has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands and thousands of generals under his command, why don't you want to let me go of Gao Shun?" I don't want General Li to let me live, I just want to die quickly to Mingzhi, please make it happen! ”

Li Li's expression changed sharply when he heard this, and he said with a gloomy face: "There is a wilderness in the southwest, with a radius of more than ten acres, please ask General Gao to reclaim it as a field and plant a season of grain." After all, the general has been living in my house for nothing for more than half a year, and the grain collected in these fields can barely cover the general's rations for half a year. Then, thirty miles to the west, there was a cliff break, where our army disposed of the corpses of the enemy, and the general could cut it off on his own. ”

"Goo-dong!" At the moment when Li Li finished speaking, he saw Gao Shun holding the teacup with one hand and drinking it all, and then bent his knees with a flushed face, and hummed: "The last general、、、 worship, see, lord!" —————— (To be continued) (To be continued......
