It's a pity that this pair of sons-in-law have never been people all the way, and their respective identities and statuses determine the hostile relationship between them. Neither of them will take the initiative to give up their existing power and status, and they will not bow down to each other, so although they have the name of Weng son-in-law, they are old opponents who do not show weakness to each other.

In other words, from the moment the two of them worked together under Dong Zhuo's account, their unsubmissive temperament made them a pair of fateful opponents.

The fateful opponent may be the accurate positioning of this complex relationship between them, where grievances and hatreds are intertwined, cut constantly, and sorted out chaotically.

Ever since Li Li emerged, Lu Bu had a certain hostility towards him, was arrogant and arrogant, despised him in public, and openly provoked him without concealment. At that time, Li Liqiang endured this evil breath, humiliated the snake, smiled at each other, showed weakness, and did not compete with it. Since then, this beam has been between them, destined to become rivals rather than comrades or friends.

When Li Li rose rapidly in Wuwei, with the sharp rise of his status, he involuntarily fell into the struggle between the two forces under Dong Zhuo. On the one hand, there are local forces in Xiliang led by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and on the other hand, there are foreign forces led by Lu Bu, and Li Li is a rising star sandwiched between the two forces, an upstart in the Xiliang army. In the face of this shape, Li Li had no choice, and the constant blood ties and fate determined that he could only join the local forces and stand with his uncle Li Dao and Guo Yan and other Xiliang generals.

At the same time, Li Li's unsubdued nature made it impossible for him to completely obey the dispatches of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Dong Zhuo and others, and he was bound to turn passive into active. Get rid of his vassal status as the last to learn, and the latecomer will prevail, so as to control the development trend of the entire situation and the future and destiny of the Xiliang Army.

So Lu Bu naturally became a big mountain in front of Li Li. A formidable opponent that cannot be avoided. Over this mountain, Lu Bu is the stepping stone under his Li Li's feet, laying the foundation for him to settle Ding Xiliang; If he can't climb this mountain, then he is destined to be unable to turn over in this life, and can only become a vassal of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and other Western Liang generals, and will never come out.

This is a road that has no way out, and it is also the road of the strong that Li Li must cross if he wants to control his own destiny. Not really. It is not enough to deter the generals of Xiliang; Otherwise, it would not be enough for him to establish a strong prestige in the Western Liang army; Otherwise, it is not enough for Dong Zhuo to pay enough attention to him; Not really. It is not enough for him to rise strongly, take charge of the Xiliang Army, and set the Xiliang Ding.

Therefore, Li Li's first opponent after the sudden rise of the army was also the most powerful opponent was Lu Bu. So there was the first confrontation between Longxiang and Li Mansion. Then the Battle of the Bahe River. and then to the rebellion in Chang'an after Wang Situ skillfully made a series of plans to kill Dong Zhuo, and the battles in which Wuguan City sent the tiger back to the mountain.

Realistically speaking, Lu Bu has made Li Li what he is today, but Li Li has been tempered in repeated confrontations, and has grown up rapidly, step by step. And the reason why Lu Bu was defeated again and again in repeated battles was not because he was not strong enough or had a bad fate. It's because he has never been aware of his greedy stubbornness and arrogant and uninhibited style of life. In contrast, the reason why Li Li was able to defeat Lu Bu again and again. In addition to his innate advantage of foresight, it is directly related to his own unremitting efforts and prudent character.

It is worth mentioning that when Li Li achieved success again and again, he had an indescribable feeling for Lu Bu deep down. Especially after Lu Bu was forced to marry his beloved daughter Lu Lingqi to him as a concubine, this indescribable feeling became clearer and more profound, either grateful or respected or grateful. In short, he did not hate Lu Bu as much as other princes or scholars, but somewhat admired Lu Bu's way of dealing with the world without violating his heart. It's just that he has never mentioned this indescribable complex feeling to anyone, never leaked his words, and never said a word.

Because of this, all the generals under Li Li's command did not have a good face after seeing Lu Bu, and they looked bitter and hateful, and they were eager to dismantle Lu Bu into eight pieces and break his body into ten thousand pieces. On the other hand, Lu Bu also gritted his teeth and hated Li Li and his generals, and was hostile to Li Li and the Xiliang Army from beginning to end, even if he married his daughters to Li Li and Bo Cai became Weng's son-in-law, he was still unwilling to bow to Li Li, let alone bow his head.

It is because Li Li and Lu Bu have been fighting for many years, during which although there are temporary interests joining forces, but more of them are fighting to the death. This is the opponent of fate. Until the final moment of life and death, the struggle between the two sons-in-law and the princes will not stop, and only when one of them is desperate can the battle be declared over, and the final result will be revealed.

?????? At the east gate of Xiapi, on the bank of the moat, the two armies met again in a narrow way amid lightning and thunder, and the confrontation was deadlocked.

"Li came from afar, and Wen Hou Tian is the landlord, don't you want to do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord?"

Hearing Li Li's familiar shouting, Lu Bu's expression changed slightly, his face was very complicated, and a strange look appeared in the corners of his eyes. It was only then that he noticed that his daughter Lu Lingqi was also in the opposite army, standing behind Li Li in armor. Although more than 400 steps apart, Lu Bu still clearly felt his daughter's caring eyes and sad expression, but to his surprise, Lu Lingqi did not come forward to meet his father, but stood behind Li Li dutifully.

For a moment, Lu Bu was quite annoyed, and said to himself angrily: "Sure enough, the girl is an extrovert, and she forgot her biological father when she went out!" ”

However, he was secretly resentful, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and thought of another possibility, which was that his daughter had truly become Li Li's woman. It is a rule that women marry and obey their husbands, which has been passed down since ancient times. If Lu Lingqi is really committed to Li Li, she will no longer be as careless as before, and she must follow Li Li's thoughts in every word and deed, otherwise she will inevitably be criticized by others.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu's face suddenly changed again, and his gaze at Li Li couldn't help but be much gentler, and the cold murderous aura that filled his whole body was mostly restricted. It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that Li Li's title and attitude towards himself were completely different from before, neither speaking ill of each other nor taking the lead, appearing polite and courteous, but without losing the prestige of the world's generals and horses.

But this expression, which belonged to the category of family affection, only stayed on Lu Bu's face for a short time, and then disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared. Lu Bu, who had eliminated distracting thoughts, still had a cold expression, his eyes were full of vigilance and hostility, and he stared at Li Li with a calm expression on the other side.

Obviously, after several previous encounters, Lu Bu no longer had the slightest arrogance towards Li Li. At this time, facing Li Li again, the expression on his face was unprecedentedly solemn, as if he was facing an abyss, like a great enemy, his mind was always tight, and he always maintained a high degree of vigilance, and did not dare to be negligent and slack.

After a moment of silence, Lu Brown shouted: "The general came to Xuzhou at night, and Lu should go out of the city to greet him." However, the general came unannounced, but it coincided with the time when the traitors under Lu's account led his troops to attack the city, which is too coincidental, right? What's more, the general also came with tens of thousands of iron horsemen, and openly sheltered thousands of rebellious soldiers, such an act really made Lu feel cold, and it was really difficult to treat him politely!

At present, Lu still has important things to do, the military situation is like fire, and he has no time to receive the general. This sharp excuse sounded very harsh, but it was already very polite, and it was rare for Lu Bu to suppress his anger. In the past, he would inevitably scold, and the scolded Li Ligou was bloody and discredited. And this is all for the sake of his daughter's affection, and it is more or less inevitable to have scruples.

As a father, Lu Bu can't ignore his daughter's face, in case Li Li is annoyed and ashamed, maybe he will pour his anger on Lu Lingqi, and his daughter will suffer at that time. It can be seen that Lu Bu is a person who attaches great importance to family affection, maybe he is not the most competent father, but he has an extremely deep love for licking calves like all parents in the world.

Li Li smiled heartily after hearing this, and said loudly: "It's rare for Wenhou to be so refreshing, and Li doesn't need to be polite!" It's good to tell the story of tonight, so as not to have to spend a lot of time covering it up. In front of us, you and I are well aware of the situation, Xiapicheng is in danger, Wen Hou should make a decision and can't delay any longer! ”

While speaking, Li Li paused, and said bluntly: "Ming people don't say dark words, although Wen Hou has many bad deeds, he is a battle-hardened veteran and a well-known hero in the world. If Wen Hou can open the city to greet him and fight side by side with me, Li will be overjoyed and happy to see it. Li invited him sincerely, I don't know what Wen Hou wants? Compared with Lu Bu's words just now, Li Li's words can be regarded as quite exquisite, and he stubbornly said "opening the city to surrender" as "opening the city to greet each other", which can be said to have given Lu Bu enough face.

"Humph! The general has such a big breath! A cold snort full of anger showed that Lu Bu did not appreciate what Li Li said, but was quite angry.

Now that he has made his words clear, Lu Bu no longer has any scruples, and raised his voice in an unkind tone: "Right now, the traitors of Chen Palace have indeed attacked the city, and then Lu can exterminate them and quell the rebellion with a flip of his palm, without the need for the general to bother!" However, the general was newly defeated in Yecheng, lost the city and lost the land one after another, and lost the army, so that Cao Mengde won Jizhou and Qingzhou without much effort, won a complete victory, and his strength increased several times! Now the Xiliang Army is already seriously injured, just like the river is going straight down to take care of itself, and the general does not think about reorganizing the army but wants to plot against my Xuzhou. The general can't help but think too highly of himself! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu was stunned, glared angrily at the fierce Xiliang Iron Horse, and shouted angrily: "Ben Hou will tell you today that as long as I, Lu Bu, still have a breath, I will not allow Xuzhou to fall into the hands of you!" ”
