"General Yuan is okay?"

"Huh? Could it be that Yuan had met with the general, why did Yuan have no impression? ”

"General Yuan is not what it used to be, you are the leader of the princes' alliance, swaying ten thousand armies, and the power is unmatched for a while, and it is reasonable for the nobles to forget things. In the past, Li's trip to Jizhou was fortunate to be taken care of by General Yuan many times, and it was worth the trip and he gained a lot; The general's generous gift, Li has always been grateful in his heart, and he has never forgotten it.

Perhaps General Yuan has forgotten about this matter, but the general's son, Yuan Ergongzi, must remember that Li had visited Jizhou, and I hit it off with Ling Gongzi that day and had a deep friendship. How could Li be inconvenient to live in Jizhou, so he had to say goodbye in a hurry, and when he was leaving, he happened to go to visit the general through Wuji, but you and I had a shallow fate and never met. After half a year, I don't admit that I can only meet today, it is really a time and a fate, or a number of days, which cannot be changed by manpower. I wonder if General Yuan thinks so? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Li had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were burning at Yuan Shao, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Yuan Shao's expression changed slightly, his eyes glared at Li Li angrily, and his eyes were cold and fierce. However, he had a good grasp of his own control, did not go crazy on the spot, and did not lose his temper in front of hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, and seemed to be unmoved, still maintaining the self-cultivation and open-mindedness that the princes and alliance leaders should have.

"Oh, I see. I didn't expect the dog to be familiar with the general, which is the luck of the dog. It's just that since the general traveled to Jizhou in person, why didn't he inform Yuan in advance? If Yuan had known that the general was visiting, he would have been hospitable. It must be fun for the general, maybe the general will like Jizhou and be willing to stay here? If only it could. Yuan didn't have to visit in person, and he wouldn't have done what he did today. Does the general think so? ”

In this opening remark, there seems to be a tacit understanding between Yuan Shao and Li Li, neither evil words nor too many greetings. However, although the words of the two sides sounded amiable during the conversation, they were actually at loggerheads and did not show weakness to each other. Don't give an inch.

At this scene, perhaps many soldiers did not know what was going on, and thought that the commanders of both sides were worthy of being the overlords of the powerful side. They are already tense and fighting with each other, but they can still talk and laugh, they are really generals, and they are not surprised! But. Other princes and generals in front of both sides. But they heard the voices and meanings of their respective commanders, which seemed to be polite greetings, but in fact, they were secretly witty and ridiculed each other.

Li Li ridiculed Yuan Shaogui for being the pastor of Jizhou, but let him come and go whenever he wanted, not only came and went freely, but also earned a lot of money from Jizhou, and the harvest was huge, and he humiliated Yuan Shao's son by the way. And Yuan Shao ridiculed Li Li for sneaking and hiding his head and tail. The dignified general of the imperial court did not dare to go to Jizhou openly, but used inferior means to sneak in. Then he fled in a hurry; If he had known that Li Li would go to Jizhou, he would have called Li Li to come and go, and he would have been buried in Jizhou, which would have saved him from having to contact the princes of various towns to join forces to conquer Li Li.

This is the etiquette of this era, the scholars occupy the dominant position in the world, and Confucianism is respected by the world. But all people with status and status, regardless of whether the two parties were friends or foes before, or old grudges or dislikes, will be polite and thoughtful when they meet, and there are few scenes of scolding. If there is such a thing, it means that the person is vulgar, does not know the six arts, does not understand etiquette, and is often despised by people and rejected by the scholars.

This is the case in the general environment, and it is not an exception, so no matter who you are, you must abide by it, otherwise you will surrender your identity and bring shame on yourself.

Although Li Li is a reborn person, he is very unaccustomed to these hypocritical and pretentious clichés, but he also has to follow many rules of the day. Otherwise, he would not be a maverick, but would have forgotten his roots and insisted on going his own way, and would have been rejected by the world, and would not have been able to establish the hegemony of today.

Hearing Yuan Shao's implicit sarcastic words at this moment, Li Li stroked the erect mane on the back of the Golden Lion Beast King's neck, with an indifferent smile on his face, his expression was calm, and his expression was calm and calm.

"General Yuan is too polite. To tell the truth, the previous trip to Jizhou was not that Li was unwilling to stay for a long time, but that it was not yet time. As the folk proverb goes: You can't get fat if you eat in one go. At that time, Li was too busy to take care of himself, how could he have spare time to take Jizhou, so he temporarily entrusted Jizhou to General Yuan, and when the time came, Li Li would not bother General Yuan since he lived in Jizhou. ”

After a pause in his tone, seeing Yuan Shao's frowns jumping in anger, as if he was angry, Li Li didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "Sage Yun: Come and don't be rude. It is rare for General Yuan to come and step into the territory of Li, and since he is here this time, don't rush back; Hangu Pass is not far from Chang'an, and Li must do his best to entertain General Yuan with the friendship of the landlord, and keep the general to live for a few more days, and it is okay to live here for a long time. It just so happened that the Son of Heaven often recited General Yuan, saying that the general was a descendant of the Han Dynasty, and the Yuan family was loyal and good for generations, hoping that the general could enter the court as an official and benefit the people of the world. Coincidentally, Li Mou didn't have time to ask for a general to be recruited into the court, but he didn't expect the general to come uninvited, so it would save trouble, and this time the general would return to the court with me. I don't know what General Yuan thinks? Hehehe! ”

"How can it be!" Seeing that Li Li was talking more and more energetically, and the more he talked, the more cheerful he became, Yuan Shao finally couldn't help but scold angrily: "Li Li, the leader of this alliance looks at your repeated crusades against barbarians for the Han Dynasty, pacifies the border troubles, and expands the territory for my Han Dynasty, and respectfully calls you a 'great general', I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, no one in your eyes, you simply don't know how to lift, and you are extremely arrogant!" In this case, it is inconvenient for you and me to say much, and there is a battle on the battlefield, Yuan Mou will also take a look, what kind of ability do you have to dare to be so rampant? Hmph———! ”

In a fit of rage, Yuan Shao glared at Li Li angrily and snorted coldly, then turned around and prepared to retreat to his own formation.

"Wait!" Raising his voice to stop Yuan Shao, Li Li smiled and said: "General Yuan is also the leader of the alliance of hundreds of thousands of princes, so he lost his temper in such annoyance, I am afraid that he will lose the identity and prestige of the alliance leader, right?" It is said that people are old and affectionate, and Li thought that General Yuan liked to communicate with young generals a lot, so he took great pains to talk to you. Unexpectedly, General Yuan didn't appreciate it at all, but turned angry at him, this is really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, and it wasted Li's enthusiasm in vain. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li's words changed sharply: "Since this is the case, Li doesn't want to talk to you, you and I still have an open and honest direct conversation." I don't know what General Yuan did when he invited Li to talk about it before the battle? To tell you the truth, there is no need to hide it, you are in a hurry, and I am not an idler, let's say it directly, what are your intentions? ”

"Huh, attempt?" Hearing this, Yuan Shao reined in his horse, sneered and drove the mount back two steps, looked at Li Li with cold eyes, and said with a slight squint: "General Li inevitably thinks too highly of himself, right?" Yuan met with you on behalf of the princes of the seven towns of the Central Plains this time, not to negotiate peace with you, but to remind you to judge the situation and not to go your own way, so as not to cause trouble, destroy your family and destroy your family, and die without a place to be buried! ”

"Oh, raid the family and exterminate the clan, and there is no place to bury you?" Li Lijian's eyebrows frowned slightly, he groaned, and then laughed loudly: "It turns out that the leader of the Yuan Alliance made a special trip to threaten Li, very good, great!" For so many years, you Yuan Shao is the first person who dares to speak and intimidate in front of Li, not to mention whether this threat is useless to Li, this courage alone is enough to impress Li. Hahaha??????"

In the midst of the laughter, Li Li's tone paused slightly, and then his tone changed abruptly: "The 360,000 princes and alliances are huge, and there are quite a few people, since Chen Liuhui met five years ago, this is the largest war in the world in recent years. The lord of the Yuan Alliance is really remarkable, first there is Chen Liuhui in front of the alliance, and this time he contacted the princes of various towns to form an alliance for the second time, pretending to use the power of the alliance to show off his might and dominate the situation. This combination is unbearable, there is no one in the world who is unsurpassed, but the leader of the Yuan League is also alone!

It's a pity that the leader of the Yuan Alliance may be too forgetful, and it is not Dong Zhuo who is standing in front of you at this moment, but I, Li Li and Li Wenchang! In Li's eyes, the hundreds of thousands of princes and allies are just a group of rabble, people who sell their heads and can be destroyed with one hand; Even if there are 300,000 more horses, what is Li afraid of?

As you can see, two years ago, I commanded 200,000 war cavalry and 200,000 foot cavalry, a total of 400,000 foot cavalry! After two years, don't think that you can only wait to recruit troops and expand your strength, so Li Mou will tie his hands and feet, hold his feet, and enjoy himself behind closed doors. Today, Li Mou is telling you and others, I Li Li has an army of 500,000 troops to wait for the day, even if you don't take the initiative to provoke this time, the 500,000 army under Li Mou's command is already hungry and thirsty, and will wipe out the small people such as Er!

Now you are waiting to automatically send it to the door, but it is exactly what Li wants, since they are all here, don't want to go back alive! ”

"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao laughed when he heard this, and mocked without giving an inch: "Li Li Xiao'er has such a big breath! You don't have to brag about it yourself, Yuan also knows that there are many soldiers and horses in Xiliang under your command, but it is an exaggeration to say that you have 500,000 soldiers. As far as I know, two years ago, Xiao'er had only 300,000 soldiers and horses, and there was a shortage of food and grass, no clothing, no food, and no male soldiers in hand but no strength to go to the Central Plains. In the past two years, Xiao'er has been reckless in his military force, arrogantly expanding his territory for hundreds of miles, and wantonly sheltering foreign barbarians into the territory, resulting in the Xiliang Mansion treasury being unable to make ends meet, money and food shortage, the barracks have no food for the next month, and the people have no clothes to go out. In such a poor situation, children are too busy to take care of themselves, how can they expand their troops and horses, and strengthen their strength?

Knowing that he can't do it, the arrogance of children is the real one who is unsurpassed in the world, but Li Lishuzi is also alone! Today, my 300,000 allied troops are in front of the pass, and you have 300,000 soldiers and horses, but you still need to divide troops to garrison various states and counties, and the available troops are only 100,000 horses. ”
