The night is getting darker.

The bright moon hangs in the sky full of stars, and the clear water is stained with red dust.

Between the green mountains and clear waters, the bamboo forest by the riverside.

Li Li and Lu Su each held a jar of wine, looked up at the night sky, looked down at the green water, and talked heart-to-heart.

"Gong Jin is a burly person, with a dignified appearance, a broad mind like a river, and a talent like a lake and a sea."

Hearing Li Li ask about Zhou Yu's talent, Lu Su opened his mouth and praised him, as if Zhou Yu was a rare and brilliant man in the world.

This shows that Lu Su highly respects Zhou Yu, and he really intends to recommend talents to Li Li at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, but seeing Lu Su continued: "Zhou Yu was born in the Zhou family, although his ancestors are not as good as the four generations and three princes of the Yuan family in Ruyang, they are not much inferior. The Zhou family has been able to produce people for generations, with a family history and a solid family background, which is one of the few prestigious families in Yangzhou.

Speaking in detail, Gong Jin and her brother are still the same age, and they are now twenty-one years old. He is familiar with ancient and modern historical books, proficient in the art of war, proficient in six arts, both civil and military, and especially good at music and rhythm; Outstanding talent, heroic, heroic and dry. Now he has been in the position of head of the nest for several years, lying dormant and waiting, sitting and watching the situation change, with lofty ambitions in his heart、、、、、、"

"Zijing, I can hear that you admire Zhou Gongjin very much, are you two very familiar?" Li Li suddenly interjected.

Lu Su didn't care at all about Li Li interrupting his speech, and after hearing this, he nodded happily and said: "A year ago, Gongjin was the head of the nest, and because of the rampant bandits in the territory, he organized young and strong training into an army to suppress the bandits. On the way, there was a shortage of food and grass, and he heard that the foolish brother's family was well-off, so he took someone to the foolish brother's house to borrow grain. At that time, the foolish brother saw that he was beautiful and extraordinary, so he gladly lent him two warehouses of grain at home, about 3,000 stones. From now on. Gong Jin and I often exchanged letters, and we also walked around a few times during this time, and we talked very happily, and we became confidants in life.

This time, I moved my family away from Yuan Shu's rule, and I planned to go to the nest to live temporarily, and then I would make plans after finding the master. I didn't expect to meet my brother as soon as I got out of danger, and my grandmother had already said yesterday that after arriving at Bufu, everything was arranged by my brother. However, the foolish brother still wanted to visit Gong Jin. I wonder if my brother can go with me? ”

Li Li looked slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the gentle and calm river, and asked softly: "I understand Zijing's intentions, but I don't know how Zhou Gongjin's talent compares to his virtuous brother?" ”

"Hehehe!" Lu Su smiled happily: "Even if the elder brother doesn't ask, the foolish brother has to say." On the Art of War. Gongjin is a hundred times more than me; On the decision to lead the troops to fight in battle, Gongjin is a hundred times more than me; On the ability of government affairs to govern the world. Gongjin is also ten times better than me. So. Zhou Gongjin, Wen Taowu, and Wu are all above me, and they are really a talent that is rare in a century. If the elder brother can persuade Gong Jin to serve and assist, it is far better than ten Lu Su! ”

"Zijing's words are wrong!" Li Li immediately shook his head and said categorically: "I have a loyal brother like Zijing, even if I exchange ten Zhou Gongjin, I won't change it!" ”

"Brother!" Lu Su was extremely moved when he heard this. But the look on his face was very anxious, and it can be described as mixed feelings.

However, without waiting for Lu Su to speak, Li Li immediately waved his hand and said, "Zijing doesn't need to be in a hurry. Listen to me. Don't hide it from Zijing, I have heard of this Zhou Yu before this, and I know that he is a genius in the world, and he is also a handsome talent on the battlefield who is both civil and military. This time I went south to Yangzhou, I did intend to visit Zhou Yu, and if possible, I would like to take him under my command.

However, Zijing should know that I have a bad reputation among the Haoqiang clan, and I am even regarded as an enemy by them. Zhou Yu does have the ability to go through the heavens and the earth, and I admire his talent very much, but he came from a famous family after all. Even though I invited me with all sincerity, it is still unknown whether he will be willing to assist me in my great cause.

But things in the world always have to be tried to know the result, so I won't give up easily. After we returned to Bufu and arranged a qiē, I went to Juchao with Zijing to meet Zhou Yu, I hope it was worth the trip! ”

"So good, so good!" Lu Su nodded again and again.

After he calmed down a little, he pondered and said, "What my brother said is not unreasonable. To tell the truth, the achievements established by my brother over the years are enough to leave a name in the annals of history, but the powerful clans in various places are quite critical of my brother, and even regard my brother as the second Dong Zhuo. The reason for this is that the elder brother in Xiliang implemented the reduction of the slaves, maidservants, and real estate and land in the name of the noble and powerful of the Shi clan, as well as the payment of remuneration to the servants and slaves, and the clear restriction on the number of servants and servants owned by the major families. These decrees undoubtedly touched the fundamental interests of the Haoqiangshi clan, as if they were pulling teeth out of their mouths, removing bones and cutting meat, which was absolutely unacceptable to them.

Don't hide it from my brother, my foolish brother also had prejudices about this before, because my Lu family is also a wealthy family of scholars. According to the decree issued by my brother, then my Lu family will also cut some servants and maids, and return hundreds of miles of fields and a few mansions. But this time the family moved away from their homeland, and I realized that my brother's decree was not wrong.

In this era of great turmoil in the world, even though the Haoqiang clan was forced to move away from their homeland, they were able to rely on the money and grain in their hands to buy a large amount of land and real estate again, while ordinary people had nothing once they were forced to leave their homeland. At the same time, the people who are most vulnerable to the impact of the war, and the people who suffer the most, are the people of Lebanon, because they have no ability to protect themselves, let alone a family and a nursing home to protect their existing property.

Since then, it is necessary for the government to redistribute life-saving money and land to them, as well as to distribute matching cattle and farm tools, and if conditions permit, to help them rebuild their homes. Only in this way can order be gradually restored and the chaotic times can be brought to an end. But in order to achieve this, it is necessary to dig out the land and houses that they have wantonly swallowed out from the mouths of the Haoqiangshi clan, otherwise the people can only start from scratch, still without clothes and food, and the world will still not be able to completely settle down. ”

Lu Su's words can be regarded as talking about Li Li's heart, which was what he considered when he was recuperating.

However, there is something to be gained and something to be lost in the world, and any decree that is beneficial to the common people will inevitably harm the self-interests of some vested interests. This is a contradiction that can never be reconciled, and it has been since ancient times, unless 、、、 everyone is a saint without desires.

————————————————————————

After the night talk, Li Li and Lu Su returned to the tent to rest, but he couldn't sleep for a long time, so he quietly got up and walked out of the tent.

In fact, there is no need for Lu Su to recommend Zhou Yu, and Li Li can't forget this well-known Mei Zhoulang.

Although Zhou Yu had not yet made a career at this time, he was still an unknown person, but as a person of later generations, how could Li Li, who was the most dazzling wise man in the troubled times! However, if you can't forget, what can you do, in the troubled times, if you can't use me, you will become an enemy sooner or later, and there is no third option.

Walking in the bamboo forest, Li Li thought about many things in his mind, and there were many clueless troubles.

The assassination of Bufu made him struggle back from the ghost gate again, and he escaped from a desperate place, which made him reflect on himself again.

People can't always be so lucky, everything can be repeated, this Li Li has already deeply realized at this time.

Three years ago, in the Battle of Dongshankou, Li Li was killed by 500 archers under Ma Teng's command, forcing him to turn over and fall off his horse, and even escaped from under the horse's hooves. That was the first time he had close contact with death since he was reborn at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he narrowly passed by, almost dying young.

During the trip to Jizhou, when he saw that his plan was successful, he was trapped by Yuan Xi, and he was in the midst of the chaotic arrows without shelter, and finally relied on the golden dragon soft armor given to him by Li Zhi in his early years to save his life. This is the second time Li Li has survived in a desperate situation, and he was lucky to escape the catastrophe, and he almost died of joy and sorrow.

This assassination of Bufu is the third time that Li Li has been in a desperate situation, and it is a real killer blow, there is almost no possibility of survival, no matter who falls into this catastrophe, it is difficult to survive.

But he Li Li survived by luck, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a fluke. And the reason why he was able to escape death was due to his ability to learn the art of submarines as a navy in his previous life. It is precisely because he has practiced excellent diving skills in his previous life, and has been drifting in strong winds and waves all year round, that he has not been at a loss after falling into the torrent this time, nor has he been afraid, nor has he lost the courage and belief to survive.

Caught in the torrent of stormy waves, Xiahoudun, who was holding his right leg tightly, was beaten by several big waves and disappeared. However, he was able to protect his body with the help of two short daggers in the sandwich of his boots, avoiding the rocky cliffs in the bends of the river again and again, drifting with the current, and finally fainting from exhaustion.

As a result, Li Li was lucky. His tenacious fighting spirit and never giving up on life prompted him not to be swallowed up and drowned by the torrent, until he was rescued by Lu Su's subordinates, and he escaped from the Ghost Gate Pass again.

In the past three days, Li Li has been immersed in the joy of escaping death, glad that he is still alive, and glad that he is not dying again. And this kind of happiness is actually the most profound reflection since he was reborn, and it is also the first time in these years that he has comprehensively reviewed the bits and pieces of what he has experienced before, and why he has repeatedly encountered life and death catastrophes.

Now that three days have passed, Li Li has also realized some experiences and lessons from self-reflection, and realized a sublimation of his own thoughts, so that he once had a lot of emotional side gradually disappeared, and transformed into an iron-blooded overlord who really looks at everything rationally.

He had always been in awe of the contemporaries and overlords he knew well, and although he didn't want to admit it himself, he always had such a latent consciousness in his mind. Therefore, he rarely kills these so-called famous generals and celebrities who have left their names in history, and every time he will try to subdue them for his own use, the most typical of which is Wenhou Lu Bu. The reason why he let Lu Bu leave was not only because he wanted to use Lu Bu's hand to disturb the situation in the Central Plains, because he subconsciously didn't want to see such a strong man die in his hands.

However, the joint assassination of Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers made Li Li finally awaken and deeply analyze his unknown inner world.

It is also from this moment that the soul from the afterlife is completely integrated with this body, and there is no afterlife, let alone "Li Zhengfeng", only Li Li and Li Wenchang, who are fighting for hegemony in troubled times!
