"Where is the hussar general, can you meet with my Sun Ce in front of the battle?"

In front of the two armies, Sun Ce held the reins in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the city tower, and shouted loudly.

In fact, he had already seen Li Li leave the city tower, but he was still shouting, just like Quan Dang didn't recognize Li Li. As for why he did this, perhaps only he knows, and no one else knows.

"Whew!" After shouting a few times, Sun Ce covered the wound on his chest with one hand and gasped for breath.

Admittedly, the injuries on his body were not optimistic, and he was forced not to ride his horse too fast, and not to speak too loudly, and to shout as loudly as he did now, was already reluctant. With each shout, the wound on his chest ached so violently that the cloth he had just bandaged was now soaked with blood.

With such a serious injury, Sun Ce still insisted on going out to talk to Li Li, I have to say that he is a stubborn person, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal.

Da-da-da-da!

With the sound of horses' hooves, the half-hidden city gate opened again, and then a group of more than 500 cavalry galloped out of the city and galloped straight to the front of the battle.

"Roar!"

This is the roar of the Beast King at the time of the Golden Lion Beast King's signboard, and a loud roar overturned tens of thousands of soldiers of the two armies facing each other from afar, causing a huge sensation.

The overturning mentioned here is not that tens of thousands of soldiers fell down when they heard the sound, but that they changed their original postures one after another, and the formation was chaotic. In fact, they didn't want to mess up, but the war horses in the army were screaming and scurrying, forcing them to avoid the trampling and collision of the war horses, so that the formation was chaotic. And the huge sensation refers to the roar of the Golden Lion Beast, thousands of war horses screamed and neighed, this formation was sensational enough, and the sound shook for dozens of miles.

With a deafening roar, under Sun Ce's gaze, the Golden Lion Beast King carried Li Li to the front of the battle in an instant, like a raging wind. When Sun Ce woke up and came back to his senses. The Golden Lion Beast had stopped and stood twenty paces away in front of him.

"Such a divine horse is the only one in Sun Ce's life, and the general's tiger power really amazes me!" Seeing that he had seen the brocade-robed man on the city tower riding a divine beast standing in front of him before, Sun Ce praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh?" Li Li groaned in surprise, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then his expression returned to normal, and he smiled indifferently. Then he squinted at Sun Ce, whose cheeks were pale, and said in an indifferent tone: "Your face is pale and bloodless, your lips are dull and dull, and there is the color of pain between your eyebrows. It shows that you are very injured and have difficulty speaking. With such a serious injury, you still dare to invite me to meet in front of the battle, I don't know what you have to rely on? ”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly and said frankly: "The general's eyes are like torches. That's right. The injuries on my body were indeed very severe, and the pain was unbearable. Speaking a little louder can cause the wound to bleed. However, none of this is enough. The general may not know that it has not been a day or two since I admired the general, and I have long been looking forward to talking to the general in person. ”

"Admire me? Hehehe! Li Li looked stunned, and said with a dumb smile: "I, Li Li, am no different from ordinary people, with sound limbs and flesh and blood. The only thing that is different from most people is that I am a little taller than many people, and that's it. ”

After a pause, Li Li put away his laughter. After a moment of conversation, he said with interest: "But what you are saying at the moment is quite surprising to me, or it is completely opposite to the scene I imagined. Besides, you really have the guts to dare to talk to me face to face twenty paces away. Do you know that with my skills alone, even if you are intact and unharmed, at our current distance, I can cut you under the knife in one piece! ”

"Oh? The general is so confident, why don't you come and listen to it, and let Sun Ce have a long insight? Sun Ce's expression changed slightly, and he said suspiciously.

Li Li smiled indifferently, shook his head slightly, and said, "It seems that you don't believe what I say, thinking that I am bragging, and I am deceiving you with wild words." However, since you want to know, it doesn't hurt to sue you. I saw the battle between you and Ma Chao just now, to tell you the truth, your martial arts are not as good as Ma Chao, but your strength is not inferior to Ma Chao, and it is even slightly higher than half a chip. Therefore, you can fight him for hundreds of rounds without defeat, and of course there are some reasons that you don't have to know.

I've heard that I've defeated Ma Chao three times, and the last time I almost killed him, but you don't know that if Ma Chao stands in your position at the moment, I can defeat him in one fell swoop. Not only him, but dozens of top-notch generals under my command, no one can dodge my Thunder Sword at this distance. And you, too, are no exception! ”

Sun Ce's voice changed when he heard this, this time his expression really changed, a flush appeared on his pale cheeks, his eyes were suspicious, and he was even a little panicked.

After a moment of silence, the strange color on his face gradually dissipated, and he said in a calm tone: "Maybe I should believe that you have this kind of strength, in that case, why haven't you made a move until now?" It can be seen that you don't seem to want to kill me, otherwise, you would have had at least two chances to kill me when I fought Ma Chao before. The first time was when I fought with Ma Chao at the foot of the city wall, and if you ordered the arrows to be released, I would definitely not be able to live; The second time was the moment when I was stabbed by Ma Chao, if you reminded me, I would definitely die. There was a third time, that is, when Ma Chao and I were both defeated, in fact, he still had the strength to fight again, and he was fully capable of killing me, but he didn't do it. You are the lord of Xiliang, and Ma Chao naturally obeys you, can you sue me for this? ”

Li Li chuckled when he heard this, and said: "It seems that you are not reckless, nor are you a brave and unscrupulous person, on the contrary, you are very smart, and you can be called both civil and military." Since you are so smart, as long as you think about it calmly, it is not difficult to guess the reason. As you can imagine, before the battle, I told him to spare your life, at least not to kill you when we first met. That's why you were able to survive under Ma Chao, and as for why I did this, you must have thought of it. Am I right? ”

"Gong Jin!" Sun Ce said in response.

Li Li bowed his head and said: "Yes, it was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin who saved you!" On that day, when I recruited Gongjin to join the army, in order to compensate for his brotherhood with you, I promised him that if you were my enemy, I would spare your life, and even spare your wife, concubine, and children. I don't think about it, after just over three months, you and I met on the battlefield, so I fulfilled my promise and won't kill you.

At the same time, I will also give you a copy of the war exploits, so that you can conquer ten cities and camps within ten days, and become famous all over the world. If it were someone else who was the so-called Allied spearhead, I wouldn't have been as lucky as you, and I would have made it difficult for him to make it difficult for every city he captured. ”

Sun Ce was gloomy when he heard this, and said softly: "It seems that Gong Jin is right to serve you." You really value him, and you are willing to pay such a big price, and you will do what you say, and you will miss a great opportunity to kill your enemies in vain. ”

Li Li shook his head slightly and said, "What you said is not entirely correct. To be precise, it should be Gongjin who has won my trust with his loyalty and outstanding talent, and because of this, I will not hesitate to fulfill my promise. He serves me with loyalty, and I treat him with integrity, whether it is between ministers or between people, we must treat each other with sincerity, so as to establish an unbreakable relationship of trust. But you really should thank him, to have such a confidant and friend who is not a brother but is better than a brother in life, it is really precious and should be cherished. ”

Sun Ce nodded lightly and said respectfully: "Thank you General for telling me the truth, Sun Ce is very grateful." ”

Seeing Sun Ce's expression and demeanor at this time, Li Li was surprised, and he couldn't believe his eyes, and even suspected that Sun Ce's expression was all disguised. However, he then denied this assumption, because Sun Ce's eyes were very sincere, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy. For Li Li, who has read countless people, in a face-to-face situation, no one can be hypocritical and act without flaws under his gaze, let alone deceive him.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li asked in a low voice: "It is said that when you met the alliance, you threatened to seek revenge on me, because I took Gongjin hostage to come to Xiliang, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Sun Ce nodded when he heard this, and admitted, "That's true. However, this is all a pretext that I have thought of a long time ago, to confuse the public, so as to gain the support of the princes from all walks of life. In fact, from the moment I heard that Gong Jin had left Lujiang, I knew that he had chosen to serve you. Otherwise, even if you hold Gong Jin hostage, it will be useless, because he is simply a person who is not threatened and will not compromise. Gong Jin is arrogant by nature, don't look at him as kind to others, but he is very stubborn in his heart, once he makes up his mind to do something, no one can stop him, and no one can persuade him not to move. Therefore, Gong Jin's decision to serve you is definitely a deliberate decision, and unless something happens to you, he will definitely not vote for a new master. ”

"So you don't resent Gong Jin, don't you think he betrayed you?" Li Li asked.

Sun Ce shook his head lightly, and said with a gloomy expression: "I have known Gongjin for many years, we have similar interests, and we have equal relations, he has not served me in the first place, and I am not qualified to make him like." On the contrary, with his family background and prestige of the Lujiang Zhou family, my Sun family is far from being able to compare with it, and the gap is very large. In other words, he has been helping me all these years without giving anything in return, but he has not been committed to me. And I have been displaced all these years, and I have no fixed place to live, and then I am sent under the fence, and it is difficult to protect myself.

Therefore, there is no betrayal between me and Gongjin, and it is true that the brotherhood is deep, but there is no affiliation. As a brother, Gongjin can choose the lord and future that suits him, and instead of hindering him, I should support him and bless him. Therefore, I have never resented him, but I hope that he can show his ambitions and get better and better. ”
