As Li Li ordered the army to slow down, the 50,000 iron horsemen slowly moved forward, in order to show that they had no malicious intentions, and then naturally dispelled many of Lu Bu's previous concerns.

Walking a mile away from the camp, he saw the gate open from a distance, and then Lu Bu's tall and straight figure jumped into sight.

After seeing this scene, Li Lijian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was quite surprised in his heart. After approaching more than a hundred steps, when he saw Chen Gong standing beside Lu Bu and half a body behind Lu Bu, he knew it in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on Chen Gong for a while, thoughtfully.

Six years ago, Li Li had great trust in Chen Gong. Not only because he is his eldest brother and a person who can be trusted, but also because he kept Yi Wu and saved the castle built by Dong Zhuo from being destroyed. Yi Wu is intact, which is equivalent to keeping the life-saving food and salary needed by the Xiliang Army, which is of great significance to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang Army.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yi Wu had been burned, there would be no Li Li and the powerful Xiliang army under his command today. If the Xiliang Army wants to develop and grow, it will have to delay it for at least five to ten years, so as to miss the best opportunity for expansion, and then change the situation in the world, which will have far-reaching consequences. In a sense, if Chen Gong hadn't followed Lu Bu in the Chang'an Rebellion, Li Li would definitely not let Lu Bu go lightly under Wuguan City.

Four years ago, at the time of the Sili War, Li Li became suspicious of Chen Gong and suspected that he had completely surrendered to Lu Bu. Because the Battle of Sili was a key battle that decided the life and death of Li Li and the Xiliang Army under his command, but Chen Gong never sent back a single word, not expecting him to pass on information, but he didn't even have a word of greeting or concern. This made Li Li suspicious of Chen Gong for the first time, and other people were no exception.

Facing such an important life-and-death battle. Chen Gong didn't have any news at all, which inevitably made people suspicious. What's more, Li Li and he are close relatives and his brother-in-law. He was also the benefactor who rescued his mother, wife and children. However, during the year-long battle between the divisions and subordinates, Chen Gong has been in a state of silence, as if there is no zài, and he obviously stayed in the Allied camp but there was no news.

Three years ago, when Lü Bu was defeated in Yanzhou, Li Li thought that Chen Gong would change his mind, even if he could not persuade Lü Bu to defect to Xiliang. It's time for him to come back himself. However, Li Li was disappointed again, Chen Gong did not return, and still followed Lu Bu to Liu Bei's command. Lives in Xuzhou Xiaopei.

Since then, Li Li has no hope for Chen Gong at all, and really decided to give up on him, and never mentioned it again. However, Lu Bu then attacked Liu Bei, and the occupation of Xuzhou made Li Li see a hint of a turnaround. Pay attention to Chen Gong's table xiàn again. To this end, he sent a large number of fine works into Xuzhou. Implement comprehensive monitoring of Chen Gong, as long as Li Li wants to know, Chen Gong's every move cannot escape his eyes. It's a pity that Chen Gong didn't act abnormally, and didn't express any dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, so that Li Li couldn't understand him, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts.

This time he led the army south, and when he was about to arrive on the north bank of Huaishui the evening before yesterday, Li Li once again tested Chen Gong. deliberately left two Lu Bu's subordinates to inquire about the news, and asked them to reveal the news of the army's crossing of the river overnight to Chen Gong. This was the last time Li Li tested Chen Gong's loyalty. It is also the only chance to make Chen Gong turn back. If Chen Gong cherishes this opportunity, then Li Li will not be guilty of the past; On the contrary, Chen Gong could not escape death, and perhaps Li Li personally executed him.

However, at this moment, the scene in front of him made Li Li very puzzled. Judging from the information obtained by the scouts before, Lu Bu's camp was unprepared in advance, and he didn't know that he would lead his army to the camp tonight. From this, it can be seen that Chen Gong did not inform Lu Bu in advance of the news that the army crossed the river to the south, so that Lu Bu was caught off guard and mistakenly thought that it was a night attack by the enemy, and he was in a hurry for a while, until he learned that the army led by him gradually calmed down.

But with Lu Bu's arrogant and uninhibited personality, how could he think of taking the initiative to go out to greet him? Even if he thought of it, he didn't go back to do it, because he was Lu Bulu Fengxian, a capricious guy who valued profit over righteousness but also paid great attention to face. This kind of person will never be able to do something in a low voice, unless someone instructs him and gives him a strong statement, so as to prompt him to change his old style, pretending to be a snake, pretending to be a snake, and pretending to be a color.

There is no doubt that the person who gave advice to Lu Bu in private was Chen Gong, and no one else had such knowledge.

Therefore, Li Li originally thought that Chen Gong had made a decision and completely threw himself to his side, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to do such an ambiguous thing again. This made Li Li shake his judgment again, and he was still unsure of Chen Gong's attitude, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do and which side he was on.

If Chen Gong was not Li Li's eldest brother, and if he was not a person who had great favor to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang Army, Li Li would definitely not waste his mind on him, let alone tolerate him in every way, and give him opportunities again and again. If you are someone else, your temperament is so changeable, you are unpredictable, Li Li will never be as distressed as she is now, let alone waste even a little time on him, and will use the most direct and concise method to completely erase him from the world, once and for all, and never suffer in the future.

??????

"The general came at night, Lu Mou missed the welcome, and asked the general to forgive his sins."

In front of the gate, seeing that Li Li really led the army in person, Lu Bu took three steps and made two steps to meet him, and bowed down and waved his hand before Li Li Fei dismounted.

"Wen Hou is out of sight." The moment his feet landed, Li Li stretched out his hand to support his bowed hands, and said with a smile: "Li Mou is disturbing all night, quite abrupt, thanks to Wen Hou's welcome, I am really a little flattered!" As always, the hearty smile is as humble and polite as before, and every qiē is so familiar. However, the moment Li Li held his arm, Lu Bu's whole body tensed, and he looked nervous as if he was facing a great enemy, and he did not relax his vigilance until he confirmed that Li Li had no malicious intent, and his body relaxed.

Seeing Lu Bu again after three years, the smiling Li Li was as familiar as an old friend, holding Lu Bu's hand and walking slowly side by side with him. Li Li said as he walked: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Wenhou's demeanor is better than in the past, Li is deeply grateful!" ”

In fact, Lu Bu is now approaching middle age, thirty-eight years old, which is more than one round older than Li Li (fourteen years old), and he is two generations at the moment. However, although Li Li is young, he is in a high position and has strong strength. Hugh said that Lu Bu was in front of him, even the princes such as Liu Biao, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were over the age of sixties, did not dare to regard themselves as elders when they saw Li Li, and Cao Cao, who was already over middle age, was naturally no exception.

This was the second friendship meeting between Li Li and Lu Bu. The first meeting scene with such smiling faces can be traced back to Chang'an six years ago, when the two were ministers in the same palace and both worked under Dong Zhuo. But since the Battle of Bahe, the two have become enemies of each other, and since then, the enemies have been extremely red when they meet, and they have fought each other.

However, there is no hatred in the world that cannot be resolved, and as time goes by, the situation in the world continues to change, and Li Li and Lu Bu, who have been separated for many years, have become allies again and fight side by side. This scene perfectly illustrates the saying: "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests." ”

Of course, for Lu Bu, he would rather never see Li Li again in his life, and it is better for them to die old and not get along with each other, out of sight and out of mind, and to be clean. But the shape is stronger than people, and now Li Li's power is growing day by day, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his momentum is monstrous. Even though Lu Bu was a hundred or a thousand unwilling to see Li Li, when he really saw Li Li, he still had to make a compromise in a low voice, and he didn't dare to touch Li Li's tiger power. You have to be careful in everything, lest Li Li grab the handle, find an excuse, and then take the opportunity to make trouble.

This is the general trend of the times, and it is an indisputable fact. Even Liu Biao, Cao Cao and other members of the Yuan Alliance were the same when they saw Li Li, the leader of the alliance, and they were careful in every possible way, not daring to be a little abrupt; Not to mention Lu Bu, who has long been afraid of Li Li like a tiger?

As Li Li and Lu Bu approached Yuanmen side by side, Li Zhi, Gongsun Zhan, Guo Jia, Xun You, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, Cheng Gongying, Ke Bineng and other civil and military generals who came with him stepped forward one after another and greeted Lu Bu one by one. And standing under the gate waiting under the gate of Lu Bu's subordinate Wenwu also stepped forward to bow and salute, and Xiliang Wenwu bowed his hand to salute, the generals under Lu Bu were respectful one by one, bowed and waved their hands, and the number of etiquette was extremely thorough.

"Brother Gongtai, don't come unharmed?" When Chen Gong stepped forward to salute, Li Li smiled and bowed.

This is the special treatment that Chen Gong deserves. Prior to this, everyone knew that Chen Gong's only sister Chen Yu was Li Li's wife, and now she has given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Li, and has always been deeply favored by Li Li. Therefore, Chen Gong has a great relationship with Li Li, and when he met this time, Li Li naturally couldn't be rude when he saw his eldest brother, so as not to be honest and ridiculed by the world.

"I'm okay in the next qiē, thank you for your concern." A greeting that is neither deep nor shallow, Chen Gong doesn't say much, and he grasps the proportions just right.

Li Li smiled, then turned his gaze to the generals under Lu Bu, and said the names of these generals one by one: "General Wei Xu, General Hou Cheng, General Han Xian, General Yang Feng?????? Are you all right? Without waiting for Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and the others to answer, Li Li pointed to a sturdy and majestic general standing behind Hou Cheng, and said with a smile: "This general is very tight, he has never met before, if this general is not mistaken, I think it should be General Zang Ba?" ”

The burly general named by Li Li came out in response, bowed down and said, "The last general, Zang Ba, see the general!" ”

"General Zang Ba doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Stretching out his hand to help Zang Ba, Li Li said with a smile: "I have long heard that the general is Zhongliang, and this time I know that the rumors are true, and the general's majesty is better than that of my father, I am very relieved." ”

Seeing that Li Li was so familiar with the generals under his command, Lu Bu, who was following Li Li, changed his face again and again, and his brows couldn't help but beat violently. Then he stepped forward and bowed to greet him: "The general saddle horse is tired, please also enter the account to rest." Lu has prepared a feast and has been waiting for the general for a long time. General, please ??????"
