Under the osmanthus tree, a round stone table, four round stools, a pot of tea, the two brothers sit opposite each other.

Above the head, the fragrance of osmanthus is strong, attracting bees and butterflies, so lively.

The rich aroma fills the whole courtyard, there is no wind and no fragrance, and the wind sends incense for ten miles, which is really pleasant.

Just after the heat, the autumn mood hits people, the gusts of wind blow, refreshing and refreshing, the heart is empty, and everything in the world is in the palm of your hand.

Pouring two cups of fragrant tea, Li Li's face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze, "I've neglected my virtuous brother these days, how about making amends for my brother with tea instead of wine?" "Zhuge Liang has been drying for three days and four nights, even if Kong Ming didn't complain, Li Li himself felt that he couldn't go, and he finally took time to apologize this afternoon.

"Brother is serious." Zhuge Liang picked up the teacup and thanked him, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "It is rare for my brother and sister-in-law to see each other, and it is not easy to get together. This reunion after a long absence, naturally there is a lot to say, this is human nature, and the foolish brother can understand. While speaking, Zhuge Liang looked calm, without too many taboos to cover up, and his words were sincere and straightforward, so that Li Li, who had always been quiet, couldn't help but have a hot old face, and his cheeks were slightly red.

My family knows my own business. What Zhuge Liang said was too polite and exquisite, and there was a bit of straightforwardness in the subtlety. The so-called "reunion after a long absence, naturally there is a lot to say", the speaker has no intention of listening, but it falls on Li Li's ears but has another taste in his heart.

Speaking of which, so far, Li Li has been married for six years, and there are more than ten beautiful wives and concubines under his name. Therefore, he has long passed the embryonic period of indulging in beauty. No matter what kind of woman is for him, he can sit still, and even disdain.

When he was young, he once indulged in the gentle countryside. It also set a brilliant record of getting all eight wives and concubines pregnant within half a year, working hard almost day and night, singing every night, and doing the best of lingering pleasures. However, as the women became pregnant one after another, the Xiliang Army grew stronger and stronger day by day, and the territory under his rule expanded rapidly. The mind is becoming more mature and steady, and the handling of things is becoming more rational and wise.

After the initial passion sprouted, Li Li rarely lingered among the beautiful flowers. is not as uninhibited as before, reined in his lustful temperament, and no longer provokes women, even if it is a glamorous stunner. Although there are hundreds of pure and lovely young maids in the General's Mansion. But Li Li never had an affair with a maidservant or slept with a maid. Never provoke women other than wives and concubines.

The only exception is drunk and disorderly, seduced by Princess Yang'an Liu Hua, and then as if infected with poison, he repeatedly secretly had fun with Princess Yang'an, making him the only mistress other than his wife and concubine. As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, and this is the case with Li Li and Princess Yang'an. But now that this matter has been properly resolved, Liu Hua has entered the Li family's court. officially became Li Li's concubine and no longer bears the name of his mistress.

Today. The most special existence among the women Li Li has is Mengxin. In order to keep her by his side, Li Li once wanted to make an exception to marry her as a flat wife, and promised to take her with him forever, even if he led the army to fight. It is not difficult to see from this that Li Li is so obsessed with Mengxin that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a disaster. It's a pity that even though Li Li tried hard and gave in again and again, Mengxin still refused to give up her original intention, insisted on practicing in seclusion, started a sect, and was unwilling to hide under Li Li's wings to be a pleasing "vase".

Not only that, Mengxin is extremely assertive, similar to the independent women of later generations. After following Li Li, she didn't want any status, didn't seek glory and wealth, didn't want any money from Li Li, and didn't want any help from Li Li. In this way, there is no need for fame and fortune to combine with Li Li, perhaps in her heart, Li Li's status is not important, the important thing is that he is his own man, that's all. The reason why she doesn't want any title is that she has long regarded herself as Li Li's wife, and she doesn't want to monopolize Li Li for a lifetime, but only wants this man to belong to her alone in the days when she and Li Li get along. There is no so-called wife room and concubine room, just the two of them, a man and a woman, a couple who are in love and happy with each other, it's as simple as that.

It is precisely because of Mengxin's unique personality and the peerless appearance of upside-down beings that Li Li loves her deeply, loves her thoroughly, and is deeply trapped in it and cannot extricate himself. For this reason, he tried to keep Mengxin by his side, and he could see her all the time, but unfortunately this was just his wishful thinking, and he couldn't get it after all. It is precisely the distance between the two places that makes Li Li's feelings for Mengxin more and more difficult to let go. So Li Li cherished the opportunity to meet once a year and looked forward to this day as soon as possible.

This time the starry night rushed back to Liangzhou from Youzhou, along the way, Li Li did not stop for a moment, passing by Sanfu but did not go to Chang'an to visit his wife and children, but took Zhuge Liang and more than 100 people directly to Qingsong Courtyard. Even so, he was many days late. He was supposed to arrive by August 15, but when he arrived, it was late August, and it was close to September. Fortunately, Mengxin was still waiting for him, did not leave, and was not angry at all, but became more gentle and considerate, extraordinarily enthusiastic, and empathetic (empathetic).

So a qiē happened naturally. One is warm and considerate, tender like water, the other is bloody and violent on the battlefield, so affectionate and affectionate, a pair of infatuated men and women collide together, like ice and fire dissolving, out of control, and its violent course is indescribable. Dry firewood and wolf-like tigers are not enough to sum up the fierce scene.

For three days and four nights, Li Li and Mengxin have been tired of being together, indulging in the sea of joy, resisting death and lingering to the end of the world, composing a lingering and sympathetic movement that only the two of them know.

Mengxin hadn't seen Li Li for two years. In addition, she raised her son alone, and when she saw her son growing up day by day, she would naturally think of Li Li, suffering from lovesickness, and accumulating immeasurable fiery passion. Usually taking care of her son who is waiting for her, while teaching her disciples, she may be able to suppress the pain of lovesickness in her heart, but the moment she really saw Li Li. Her volcanic eruption-like passion could no longer be restrained, and it soared into the sky and endured for a long time.

It's not a coincidence. Since leading the troops to the East, for a year, Li Li has not been close to women, and has devoted himself to leading the troops to fight, without distractions. During this period, after many trials of blood and fire, his whole person became murderous. Fierce and violent. In addition, although he used all his energy to kill during the long-term fierce battle, the instinctive needs of his body were constantly accumulating. What's more, he is a person with extreme energy and desire.

So Mengxin's plump and enchanting body met Li Lilong's fierce masculine body, and a protracted fierce hand-to-hand fight broke out suddenly, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark. Again and again, we went to Wushan Yunyu. Li Li poured all the hot and hot currents that had accumulated for a year into the stamens of Mengxin. And Mengxin's two-year-old backlog of torrents also completely submerged Li Li, and he forcibly collected his weapons and all his weapons, which was hearty and refreshing. The taste is not enough for outsiders.

If nothing else, Mengxin may have to break the appointment again next year and will give birth to a child for Li Li again. (Without family planning control, it's as simple as that.) Li Li had already prepared for this, and he had already persuaded Mengxin when he was in love. The venue for next year's tryst will be set in Xichuan, when Li Li will go to Emei Mountain to visit her and the child whom she has never met.

?????? Just when Li Li was stunned. The pot of tea on the stone table has bottomed out. Seeing that Li Li was thoughtful, Zhuge Liang didn't make a sound to disturb, and slowly tasted his own tea, waiting for Li Li to sober up from his thoughts.

Subconsciously picked up the teacup and drank it all, Li Li's thoughts quietly returned to his eyes, and he immediately bowed his head to apologize, and said with a smile: "I'm distracted, don't blame the virtuous brother." Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile, indicating that he didn't mind.

After a pause in his voice, Li Li said frankly: "I won't say much polite words, I really have something to discuss when I invite my brother Xian to come today." ”

Zhuge Liang responded: "Although the lord has something to order, Weichen must do his best and live up to the lord's trust." "There is a clear distinction between public and private, and in business, Zhuge Liang abides by his duties as a courtier and does not involve brotherhood.

Li Li bowed slightly, and said with a pleasant face: "To make a long story short, there are three things that need to be done by the virtuous brother. First, he ordered Gan Ning and his Jinfan Battalion to go to Youzhou, and ordered Gan Ning's troops to be stationed in Bohai Bay to train the navy; He also informed Li Xuan to expand the Jinfan battalion to 30,000 soldiers and horses, increase the supply of money and food for the Jinfan battalion, and transport more than 100 keel warships built by the Chang'an craftsman workshop to Youzhou and hand them over to Ganning for unified dispatch and use. Long before I left Youzhou, I informed Hua Xin and ordered him to build a port and military camp in the southern suburbs of Yijing City, and try to supply the grain and grass required by the Jinfan Battalion. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's tone paused, Zhuge Liang nodded knowingly, and said: "The navy is indispensable, it is imperative, presumably when the lord subdues Gongsun Zhan, he has already begun to plan the expansion of the navy." ”

Li Li nodded lightly: "That's true." I plan to give Gan Ning two years to train a 50,000-strong sailor army. After the training of the naval army, the army will be expanded, and in five years, 100,000 naval divisions will be formed, or even more. During this period, a group of craftsmen from the Chang'an craftsman workshop will go to Youzhou to build warships on the spot to supply the needs of the navy. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li continued: "The second thing is to order Li Xian to go to Hanzhong, and order Huang Zhong and Ma Chao to assist Li Xian to select 30,000 young people from the Wuhuan people who had migrated to Hanzhong to form the Eagle Guard, and the required war horses will be supplied by Shuofang Horse Farm and Hutu Horse Farm, and Li Xian will be appointed as the chief general of the Eagle Guard, Li Su and Hu Che'er will be the deputy generals, temporarily stationed in Hanzhong, and the required grain and grass will be supplied by Liangzhou and Hanzhong Taishou Pei Qian. ”

"The last thing is to order the Huben battalion to go south to the Central Plains, temporarily garrison Luoyang, and order Zhou Yu's troops to suspend the attack. As short as half a month or as long as 20 days, I will rush to the Hebei battlefield and attack Jizhou again. ”

"No. Wei Chen then got up and went to Chang'an. Zhuge Liang received the order respectfully, then got up and retreated, and Shi A followed closely and left quickly.
