"Lord!"

Seeing Li Li walk in with a smile, Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and others immediately bowed down.

Li Li bowed his head and motioned for everyone to get up, walked to He Man and Chen to the two, patted them on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "What Feng Xiao said is reasonable. You are too reckless, even if you want to vent your anger with Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, you don't have to beat them to death. For the enemy, naturally there can be no mercy, as long as he is still resisting, it doesn't hurt to kill him; If he obediently bows his head and gives up resistance, then it will be tasteless to kill him again. ”

As Li Li's voice fell, Chen Zhi and He Man immediately put away their horsewhips and bowed to the side.

Li Li raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xi and Feng Ji who had fainted in pain, turned to Li Xuan, Huan Fei and the others and said, "These two really deserve to die, it doesn't hurt to kill them." However, as Feng Xiao said, Yuan Xi is not very talented, he is purely a gentleman, but he is Yuan Shao's son after all.

Jizhou Yuan Shao is not a broad-minded person, born in a famous family, the fourth generation and the third duke, he has always regarded himself very highly, arrogant and domineering, he has always bullied others, and he can't allow others to ride on his head. Once Yuan Shao knows that Yuan Xi died in my hands, then our army and Yuan Shao will be mortal enemies who will not stand on each other, and there will be no room for maneuver in the relationship between the two sides.

At present, our army is recuperating and recuperating, wantonly producing farmland, building water conservancy and roads, restoring the people's livelihood, improving the living conditions of the people, and taking multiple measures at the same time to accumulate strength. Against this background, it is not appropriate for our army to move lightly for the time being, let alone mobilize a large army to start a major war. Otherwise, the gains we have accumulated with great difficulty will be in vain, and the government treasury will still be empty, there will be a shortage of food and wages, and we will become poorer and poorer as we fight. It has affected the people of Xiliang. ”

Seeing that Huan Fei, Xu Chu and other generals had gloomy faces and sullen hearts, Li Li smiled and said: "It is not appropriate for our army to march on a large scale to attack cities and conquer cities for the time being, it does not mean that we are cowardly, let alone that our combat strength is not strong, but it is a strategy of advancing by retreat and based on the long-term. If we encounter a local war that only requires less than 100,000 troops, and we do not need to go on an expedition with labor, but stay at the door to fight, our army can fight every day. The right to be a soldier in actual combat training. But our army cannot break out into a full-scale war now, at least until next year's summer harvest, and the county treasury can hand over a certain amount of grain and wages, plus our accumulation in the past two years, even if a big war breaks out. We don't need to pay more taxes, and we can go on a big scale. Until then. It will be the time for our army to once again launch a large-scale offensive to expand its territory. If we can't capture one or two states and counties, then our army has lost its vigor and the generals of the whole army are incompetent, including me, the commander!

Do you know how many princes are there in the states of the Han Dynasty at the moment? Let me tell you, there are more than 20 princes of all sizes under Fang today, and there are more than a dozen powerful princes. So many princes stood side by side in the world. Naturally, there are constant wars, endless battles, and there are no decades of time, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to calm the world. So. You don't have to worry that there is no war to fight, let alone the idea that heroes are useless, the situation in the world is changing rapidly, and maybe one day, the flames of war will burn on our army. At that time, it will be the time for you to show your talents, and it will be a good time for hot-blooded men to make contributions. Hehehe! ”

"Haha!" Driven by Li Li's hearty laughter, Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Chen Zhi, He Man and others swept away their gloomy and melancholy atmosphere, and immediately opened their mouths.

After everyone laughed, Li Li waved his hand and said, "Okay, immediately ask Lang Zhong to come and treat the wounds of Yuan Xi and Feng Ji, and let them be carried into the carriage later and leave with us." You all go back to your rooms to clean up, and after lunch, we'll pack up and set out to evacuate Wuji City before dark. ”

As he spoke, Li Li strode out of the door, and everyone behind him also left the utility room.

When the footsteps outside the door faded away, I saw Feng Ji's left leg curled up in the corner of the wall move slightly, and then his eyes opened a slit slightly, and he looked at the entire utility room very cautiously, and found that there was no one else in the room except Yuan Xi, who fainted immediately after him. At this time, he opened his eyes with peace of mind, and whispered to himself with a pale face: "No wonder these people are all extraordinary, burly, and bold, and they actually ignore the lord Yuan Shao, the lord of Jizhou, and dare to be cruel to the second son." It turned out that these people were all Xiliang Li Li's subordinates, and the person at the head turned out to be Li Li himself. Oops———! ”

In his own words, Feng Ji inadvertently touched the wound on his chest, and he suddenly wailed in pain.

After whispering "oops" for a while, Feng Ji Fang felt that the pain eased slightly, and he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Li Wenchang actually dared to take the risk in person and sneak into the Zhen family in Zhongshan, and the Zhen family, the head of the Zhen family, is still so close to him, it seems that they have colluded together." No wonder the Zhen family refused to lend even 50,000 stone grain and grass and 3 million money to the lord, it turned out that she had already secretly communicated with Li Li and made up her mind to move her family to Xiliang, so she had no fear! Such an important news, Jizhou scouts and fine work did not know about it, and the lord still did not know about it, it is really ridiculous!

Listening to what they said, I will leave the Zhen Mansion this afternoon, and I will take the second son and me with me. Hey, how do you get out? As long as the news can be passed on to the lord, Li Li Xiao'er will have no return, die in Jizhou, and kill all of them, and the humiliation of today's whipping! ”

————————————————————————

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

Under the slanting sun, the huge Zhenfu Mansion is already empty, and the originally neat and orderly courtyards, water pavilions, roads and corridors are full of messy images at this moment.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, the Zhen family had already begun to arrange for the Zhen family to leave the Zhen Mansion one after another. Among the more than 1,000 clansmen, they either left directly through Jizhou, or pretended to be a caravan to enter Sili through Yanzhou, or went through Youzhou to Xiliang.

Although the Zhen family is nominally a family of eunuchs, it is actually a family of merchants. Prior to this, the Zhen family often followed the caravan to run around and rushed to various states, but there was no such big move this time, and almost all of the Zhen family went out within half a month and left Jizhou separately. Perhaps it was the abnormal behavior of the Zhen family that attracted the attention of Yuan Shao's subordinates, and it reached Yuan Shao's ears, so that Yuan Shao sent an envoy to the Zhen family to borrow food and salary.

However, the matter of borrowing grain just shows that Yuan Shao is suspicious of the Zhen family, and he is not sure that the Zhen family abandoned him and relied on other princes. And the first time he sent Feng Ji to borrow grain, Zhen did not refuse, but bargained, falsely wronged, and showed a businessman's face, causing Feng Ji to be confused, and he was not sure whether the Zhen family had any disagreement with Yuan Shao. So Feng Ji could only return to the barracks to report to Yuan Shao, and then obeyed Yuan Shao's wishes, he followed Yuan Xi to come to Zhenfu again, but this time he led 1,500 personal guards to accompany him, and the intention of coercion and intimidation was clearly revealed, and it was clear that he was forcibly borrowing food.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji and others met Li Li who had returned from traveling, and they were full of anger at the first meeting. Just when Yuan Xi and Feng Ji thought that Jizhou General Ju Yi would teach Li Li a lesson, a dramatic scene occurred, Ju Yi was unexpectedly settled by Li Li in a few words, and then Ju Yi turned around and left with more than 100 personal soldiers accompanying him, and it seemed that he returned directly to the Changshan military camp in a negative mood.

When Ju Yi left in a bad mood, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji thought that their group had shocked the Zhen family, and it didn't matter if Ju Yi was by his side or not, it didn't matter the overall situation. But what happened next was greatly beyond their expectations, the Zhen family, who was weak and deceitful in their eyes, suddenly attacked, shot and killed the five hundred armor soldiers around Yuan Xi in one fell swoop, and captured all the 1,000 personal guards stationed at the four gates, and did not escape a single one. As a result, Yuan Xi and his entourage of more than 1,000 people did not come and went, and there was no news within three days, as if the world had evaporated, and no useful information was transmitted to the Changshan camp.

Throughout the whole thing, Yuan Shao's scheming and indecisive character is fully revealed. He was quite suspicious but his methods were soft, and his courage to make a decision on the spot was a little insufficient, and he was not bold enough, so that he missed the opportunity, so that Li Li could succeed, and the huge Zhen clan calmly withdrew from Wuji City. If he was replaced by Li Li, once he learned that there was an abnormality in the family in his territory, he would definitely mobilize troops and horses to besiege his mansion as soon as possible, and ordered all passes to strengthen their vigilance and strictly check passers-by.

In the final analysis, Yuan Shao of Jizhou has not completely pocketed all the counties and counties in Jizhou, nor has he managed the entire Jizhou as impeccable as an iron bucket. Only the Montenegrin thieves will be able to stir up Jizhou restlessly, full of loopholes, and Yuan Shao twice mobilized troops to suppress the bandits, but he has not completed the whole work, and he is still confronting the Montenegrin thieves until now.

It is precisely because of this that Li Li and his entourage sneaked into Jizhou without danger, had the honor to get acquainted with the Zhen family consortium, and tried every means to persuade the Zhen family's head Zhen and the old patriarch Zhen Yuan to agree to attach themselves to Li Li and move to Chang'an.

However, there are also good things that come in pairs.

The Zhen family is attached to Li Li, which has reached the original intention of Li Li's trip to Zhongshan, which can be regarded as a complete success. However, Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and Xu Chu also married the four daughters of the Zhen family, and even the Zhen family, who had been widowed for many years, was also moved and committed to Li Li. Since then, Li Li and others have really brought a group of beautiful women from the Zhen family to the Zhen family, except for the young Zhen Mi, in one pot, and they have both people and money. This move can be described as an unexpected joy and a bumper harvest!

In addition, Li Li also coerced and abducted Guo Jia to urge him to submit to his command, and he successfully received his command. Subsequently, he met Zhao Yun unexpectedly who returned to Changshan for funeral, so Li Li planned many times, carefully arranged, and put Zhao Yun into the urn step by step, prompting Zhao Yun to quickly change from the initial hostile and defensive heart to a happy and sincere service to him.

At this point, Li Li's trip to Jizhou can be described as fruitful and profitable, and it is definitely worth it.
