"Promise, this subordinate will definitely handle this matter well." Li Xuangong replied in a voice.Then he looked at Li Li hesitantly, as if he had something to say, but he was hesitant and hesitant.

Li Li was keenly aware of Li Xuan's expression.He smiled and asked, "What else is there for Yuan Zhong? Just speak up if you have something to say, don't shy away from it."

After Li Xuan heard the words.Respectfully said: "My lord. Zhongchang servant Li Ru has been assisting his subordinates to check the treasury recently, which took a lot of effort. Moreover, he clearly expressed his willingness to serve under the lord's command. Please make a decision."

"Hehehe!" Li Li laughed heartily when he heard the words: "Brother Wenyou is really a hard worker! I saw that he was overly sad because of Xiangguo's death before, so I intentionally let him rest for a while. I don't think he can't be idle so soon. Yes. Yuan Zhong. Let him temporarily help you count the money and food, and act as your deputy. Right now, we are low-ranking, and I can’t give you a decent official position. Let’s feel wronged for now. It will be resolved after a while.”

Li Xuan readily agreed, then looked at Jia Xu, and said respectfully: "Master, an hour ago, Li Jue sent someone to order our army to withdraw from Chang'an City before evening. The 13 army's food and salary for half a year. This matter is of great importance, and the subordinates and Wen He's military division dare not make any claims. Please let me know how to deal with it."

"Well, I've heard about this too." Li Li frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he asked in a deep voice: "I heard that my uncle has ordered Guo Bang to send out an army to forcefully drive our army out of the city. Are the rumors true?"

Li Xuan's expression changed slightly and he said in a low voice: "My lord's words are correct, and this is indeed the case. However, General Guo Si did not order to attack our army, and there was constant friction between the soldiers of the two armies. Now our army has suffered hundreds of casualties. The same is true for the Xiliang army, both sides have hurt each other."

"En." Li Lijian frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It is said that the military discipline of the Xiliang army is lax. In recent days, they have been robbing food everywhere in the city, and even took the opportunity to kill people and set fire. Give them food for one and a half months, and distribute the remaining half of the month to the people in the city who have been harmed. Tell them clearly that from now on, if the Xiliang army dares to act like this, burning, killing and looting wantonly, I, Li Li Not a single grain will be given to them again!

In addition, the Xiliang generals were warned to strictly enforce military discipline within two months and not to harass the people at will.After the payment of food and salaries, the two generals Huan Fei and Pang De were ordered to hand over the city to General Guo Si, and all Wuwei troops withdrew from Chang'an City and returned to garrison Kai Wu! "

"No, my subordinates will do it immediately!" Li Xuan immediately took the order, and after seeing Li Li nodding his head as a signal, he walked out of the lobby quickly.

In the afternoon, Mei Wu's main hall.

Behind the lobby, Li Li greeted Li Ru into the study with a smile, and then sat opposite him.

"I've neglected my elder brother these days, I feel ashamed!" Li Li said with an apologetic smile after taking his seat.

Li Ru said quickly after hearing the words: "Wen Chang said it. I was able to escape with my life this time, all thanks to Wen Chang's timely rescue. Otherwise, I am afraid that my life will not be guaranteed, and I have been dead for a long time."

Li Li waved his hands and said: "Brother is serious. You and I are from the same lineage, and we are brothers-in-law. Seeing that my brother is in trouble, how can I stand by and do nothing. It's a pity that my soldiers are not very effective. After knowing it later, Xiangguo is still in the end." Killed. Alas! Earlier, Wan'er and I made a special trip to persuade Xiangguo to give up the bewitching concubine Diaochan, or to expel Lu Bu. I even took the initiative to ask Ying to get rid of Lu Bu. Unfortunately, Xiangguo didn't listen to a word, but sent me back to Liangzhou immediately. As a result , As soon as I arrived at the border of Liangzhou, I learned that Xiangguo had been killed, and immediately led the army back."

Hearing Li Li's words, Li Ru's eyes flashed with surprise.Immediately, he raised his head and looked at Li Li with burning eyes, just in time to meet Li Li's eyes that were squinting like a smile but not a smile.

In an instant, the eyes of the two met in the sky.In the eyes of each other.A lot of unspeakable content was passed on to the other party.After a while, the two of them smiled knowingly, and then looked away.

Indeed, what Li Li said just now can fool ordinary people, and it is barely plausible.But Li Ru is not an ordinary person, but Dong Zhuo's most trusted direct lineal minister, and even the master of the army who controls the huge intelligence network of the Xiliang Army.After Li Li received Dong Zhuo's repatriation order, he did not lead his army back to Liangzhou at all, but turned around halfway and returned to Chang'an City.Immediately lurking in the mountains and forests around Nanshan.Although Li Li and his Wuwei Army were extremely covert and could hide from the secret agents and scouts sent by most interested people, it was difficult to escape the eyeliner of Li Ru's men.The day after Li Li's army returned to lurk near Chang'an, Li Ru got the report, but he didn't report the matter to Dong Zhuo.He didn't say anything, and he didn't know about it.Because Li Ru firmly believed that Li Li and his Wuwei army would not harm Dong Zhuo.Not to mention rebellion.Attack Chang'an.

When the two looked at each other just now, Li Ru saw many answers that he was eager to know from Li Li's eyes.And Li Li didn't seem to want to hide anything from him, his eyes were very frank, without dodging, and he gave affirmative answers to most of the questions revealed in Li Ru's eyes.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's death, Li Li knew that many things had surfaced.Right and wrong will then become clear to the world.And the Wuwei Army appeared near Chang'an City so quickly, it is inevitable that some people suspected that the Wuwei Army had not left Chang'an at all before, but was lurking near Chang'an, plotting wrongdoing.So Li Li never thought about covering it up.It's just that there are some things that he will never admit. Even if the closest person asks him, he will still keep his mouth shut and will not admit it himself.

"Ah!" After pondering for a while, Li Ru sighed softly, looked at Li Li and said, "Now that Xiangguo is dead, most of the Dong clan has been exterminated, and there are only a handful of people who can survive. Wenchang, I just ask You have a word, please answer me truthfully. If Xiangguo had left you in Chang'an to take charge of the Xiliang army with Lu Bu, would Xiangguo still die, and how would you deal with yourself?"

Li Li said without hesitation: "Well, in fact, I have asked Xiangguo face-to-face about this issue, asking Yingying to kill Lu Bu, or transfer Lu Bu away from Chang'an. If Xiangguo agreed at that time, I would lead the Xiliang army to quell the entire Xiliang as soon as possible. Liang, then sent troops to the east and entered the Kanto region. After a hundred years from Xiangguo, the situation will still be the same as now, the only difference is that my uncle Li Jue and I will no longer fight each other like this, because the overall situation has been decided, and everything will happen naturally It is a pity that Xiangguo still trusts Lu Bu after all, or he chose Lu Bu between me and Lu Bu."

"Hahaha!" After hearing Li Li's answer, Li Ru suddenly got up and walked to the window with a loud laugh.It's just that his big laughter is full of extremely complicated emotions, including a bit of sadness, emotion, and pity.

After a while, Li Ru turned his back to Li Li and said in a melancholy and low tone: "Wenchang, you just said that Xiangguo trusted Lu Bu more than you. In fact, you were completely wrong. Just when you led the army to leave Chang'an On the same day, Xiangguo brought Diao Chan back to the city from Meiwu. That afternoon, I advised Xiangguo again that I would give up the beauty and take the country. But Xiangguo was stubborn and refused to listen to the advice. After arguing with me, he walked away. But he Before leaving, he sent me a word. He said, "When he is a hundred years later, let me follow you, because you are better than Lu Bu, and you are the one who can achieve great things." Because of this, when I learned that you led the army and did not leave Chang'an I concealed this matter and did not report it to Xiangguo. Until now, I finally figured out why Xiangguo ordered me to follow you that day. Perhaps he had expected that something bad would happen one day, so he pointed out a point to me. Ming Road"

After hearing the words, Li Li's expression changed slightly, his sword eyebrows were frowned, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said quietly, "Xiangguo's military life has seen countless people, his mind is unfathomable, his thoughts are hard to fathom, and there is no trace to trace. Since ancient times, every hero and overlord has been an outstanding person in the world, and their actions are all unexpected, otherwise it would be difficult for them to achieve a hegemony. The same is true for Xiangguo."

Chapter 283 Huan Fei Offers Beauty

Night fell slowly.

In one day, the city of Chang'an was completely occupied by the Xiliang army led by Li Jue and Guo Si, and the Wuwei army withdrew and returned to camp in Kaiwu.

While receiving the city and food, Li Jue formally ordered strict military discipline and severely punished the soldiers who disturbed the people.In the evening, hundreds of heinous criminals who bullied women and burned, killed and looted were beheaded in public at the gate of the afternoon.

Mei Wu, the study room of the main hall.

Huan Fei, the leader of the Hu Xiao Battalion who had just led his troops back to Meiwu, followed Li Li mysteriously into the study, and quickly closed the door behind him.

"My lord, I'm really suffocated today. The last general confronted Guo Si for an afternoon, and almost couldn't help but rush over and smash his head. Unexpectedly, the lord ordered the withdrawal of the troops. Hey, this time entering Chang'an City is really useless!" In the study, Huan Fei sat under Li Li's hands and sighed angrily.

After Li Li heard the words, he looked up at Huan Fei who had a different expression, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank tea by himself without speaking.

"Huh..." Huan Fei watched anxiously as Li Li sipped his tea, feeling thirsty, so he grabbed another teacup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.Immediately he stuck out his tongue, shook his head and said, "My lord, the tea is too bitter, far less enjoyable than fine wine. I haven't drunk alcohol for half a month, I wonder if I can have a few bottles tonight?"

"Well, yes. Tonight, I will ask Yuan Zhong to send two hundred altars of fine wine and some meat to your more than [-] soldiers stationed in Chang'an, so that the soldiers can have a good drink. But only tonight, tomorrow morning you have to be normal Practice, don't slack off." Li Li said with a smile.

"That's great, my lord is wise!" Huan Fei said loudly with joy on his face.

Then he saw the protagonist Li Li holding up the teacup and drinking tea slowly.Immediately, the little patience he had left was completely exhausted by Li Li. He approached Li Li with a flattering smile, and said in a low voice, "I will ask for something at the end, and please fulfill it, my lord."

"Oh? Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Li looked at Huan Fei suspiciously and asked casually.

After Huan Fei heard the words, his cheeks flushed inexplicably, he leaned close to Li Li, and whispered: "My lord knows that the six brothers Huan Lang and Huan Bao are all grown up now, but they have never married. Leading the army to attack the palace, seeing the maids in the palace, all beautiful and lonely, so they brought back a few. They had been living in the barracks before, and now they have left the capital. The last general wanted to ask the lord to take them Give Huan Lang, Huan Bao and others as wives. At the same time, the last general also wants to start a family, so I ask the lord to make it happen."

"Uh, maid?" Li Li turned his head to look at Huan Fei whose cheeks were flushed, and murmured.

"This,,,,,, is not all maids of honor, there are also a few concubines." Huan Fei looked at the expression on Li Li's face nervously, and whispered cautiously.

"How many concubines, how many maids? It sounds like a lot of people, Huan Fei, how many people have you arrested from the palace?" Li Li frowned and asked in a deep voice.

Seeing Li Li frowned, Huan Fei suddenly burst into cold sweat on his forehead, and quickly reported according to the facts: "My lord, calm down. The last general arrested a total of 78 women, of which [-] were court ladies, and the rest were concubine."

After Li Li heard the words, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Huan Fei, you are so courageous! I thought you were not close to women before, but I didn't expect me to be wrong. It turns out that you Huan Fei are not bad at women, but The taste is very high, and ordinary women are all rouge and vulgar fans in your eyes, and you dismiss them. Now it is good, let you enter the palace to pick up the emperor and the queen mother, but you actually went into the palace to pick beauties and snatched more than 100 inner palaces in one go Bring the beauty back to the barracks. You concealed it before, but now that you have returned to Meiwu, the beauties you snatched can no longer be hidden. At this time, you are the only one who reports to me. You are clearly cutting first and playing later, making good claims and not putting me, Li Li, at all. In the eyes!"

"My lord, calm down, I will know my mistake. Please don't get angry, my lord, I will plead guilty and be willing to be punished!" Seeing Li Li's fury, Huan Fei trembled all over, and hurriedly got up and knelt down and said.

"Huh! To put it lightly, you have caused a catastrophe, you know?" Li Li snorted angrily, and then said: "The concubines in the palace are all the concubines of the former Emperor Ling and Hongnong Huai Wang Liu Bian. Before Xiangguo was alive, he didn't dare to blatantly take his concubines out of the palace, so he could only secretly bring out a few and hide them in Meiwuli. Look at you, Huan Fei, who rushed into the inner courtyard of the palace with thousands of soldiers, picking out maids and concubines everywhere Concubine, and grandiosely took them out of the palace and hid them in the barracks! You are so courageous, I, Li Li, can't even compare to you, so I'm willing to bow down!"

"This,,,,,, my lord, the general did not search the inner courtyard of the palace, and there are still several remote palaces with closed gates, and the soldiers have no time to break open the palace gates." Huan Fei lowered his head and argued softly.

"Hmph! Do you still dare to argue? Do you know how much crime one would bear for trespassing on the palace and robbing the concubine?" Li Li stood up furiously and said angrily.

Huan Fei was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he said anxiously: "My lord, calm down. The general didn't think well at the time, let alone robbing a few maids would cause such serious consequences. He just thought that those concubines were in their prime. Qingchun is beautiful, it is a pity to end up alone in the palace. So,,,,,,, In addition, the last general reported to the military advisor Jia Xu in advance, and the military advisor,,,,,, did not object. However, the military advisor told him General, without the consent of your lord, you must not touch those concubines lightly. Therefore, those concubines have not been violated and humiliated these days, and they are still perfect. Now the general wishes to send those one hundred and three All the concubines are dedicated to the lord, please calm the lord."

"Hmph! You have done a good thing yourself, and you still want to involve Wen He in the military? Seeing that the catastrophe is imminent, why don't you just dedicate these concubines to me, thank you for thinking of it!" Li Li snorted angrily. road.

"Then what should we do? Hey, this is a hornet's nest!" Huan Fei lamented with a mournful face.

Li Li glanced at Huan Fei angrily, then walked to the window with his back to Huan Fei.

At this time, a playful smile appeared in Li Li's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.Immediately, he stood with his hands behind his back, looked through the window lattice at the figures of Li Xin, Cai Yan and others playing in the backyard, and left Huan Fei kneeling on the ground to hang there.

In fact, the matter of Huan Fei forcibly robbing the concubine was not a big deal, nor was it a minor thing.If it was the prosperous period of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty in the past, it would be a great crime, and it would harm the whole family, and even kill the nine clans.However, today is not what it used to be.Now the power of the Han Dynasty is declining, the imperial power has fallen, and the great power has fallen to the side. The Han Dynasty and the Japanese drama are falling.And Huan Fei's move coincided with the chaos in Chang'an City, and the lives of the emperor and the queen mother were in danger, so it was not a big deal to rob a hundred concubines.

The reason why Li Li threatened Huan Fei in a rage just now was because Huan Fei's move was really bold and reckless, and it was too unexpected.This is a very dangerous sign.If Li Li didn't say anything about it, didn't express his attitude, and couldn't teach Huan Fei a profound lesson, then Huan Fei might develop bolder and more dangerous ideas in the future, so that no one could restrain him in the end. It made him act recklessly and boldly.This is something that Li Li absolutely does not allow to happen. Huan Fei must immediately kill the signs of self-assertion, intimidate him, and let him remember this lesson in his heart, so that he will not dare to act on his own initiative in the future.In particular, Huan Fei must always be in awe of him, Li Li, submit loyally, and obey orders unconditionally.

Li Li stood in front of the window for half an hour, while Huan Fei knelt on the ground for half an hour.

"Forget it, Huan Fei, get up." In the silent study, Li Li suddenly turned around to help Huan Fei up, and walked back to the main seat.

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity." Huan Fei said in a respectful voice with shame on his face, his legs went numb, his body shook a few times, and he sat down again.

Li Li looked at Huan Fei calmly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to regret it. But this kind of thing is only this once, and it will not be an example. If you dare to act so boldly in the future, then what will happen between our masters and ministers?" I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue the brotherhood. If you refuse to change after repeated admonitions, and you are unruly and unruly, and you are invincible in the world, my Wuwei army may not be able to hold you as a great god, so you can find another high school. .”

"No, my lord! The last general really knows his mistake, and he will be beaten and punished at will, please come down to me, my lord." Huan Fei said anxiously with his expression changed drastically.
