Chiyang Dock Fort, the general's mansion!

However, he said that when Li Mu, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Fei Yi, Deng Zhi, Li Hui, and Ma Jian were talking and laughing all the way, when they came to the Cheqi General's Mansion, some guards had already prepared refreshments. Afterwards, everyone sat down in order of seating.

Li Mu picked up the teacup on the table, raised it towards everyone, and immediately, looked at the direction of Fei Yi and Deng Zhi, and asked with a smile: "This time...... What can I gain from my trip to Xu County? ”

"Lord...... Forgive me for my incompetence! ”

Fei Yi first glanced at Li Mu, and then at Deng Zhi with a solemn face, and then muttered with a guilty face: "The two-year alliance plan between our Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, we have not been able to complete the ......."

"Sure enough...... As I and the three military advisors expected! ”

Li Mu nodded, muttered casually, and didn't have much regret in his heart, and then, with a calm expression and a smile on his face, he said with relief: "Wen Wei, Bo Miao!" Don't blame yourself, the reason why our army failed to form an alliance with the Yanzhou army is not because of you...... It's Cao Mengde himself! ”

Seeing that his father-in-law not only did not blame the two of them, but also comforted the two of them, Fei Yi and Deng Zhi's hearts were not only boundless moved, but also deeply remorseful.

"Thank you, my lord...... The grace of innocence! ”

Fei Yi and Deng Zhi immediately stood up, bowed deeply to Li Mu, and said in unison with a solemn face: "The two of us can act as the lord...... It was a great honor to go to Xu County to form an alliance on behalf of the Liangzhou army, but it was a pity...... The two of us have limited abilities, and we will eventually have negative ...... The trust of the Lord! ”

Li Mu raised his hand with a smile and motioned for Fei Yi and Deng Zhi to sit down, and then, Li Mu explained with a smile on his face, and said:

"Now, looking at the whole world, among the princes of the world, in terms of the strength of my Liangzhou army, it can be regarded as a standout; For example, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's generation, their strength is only between the best and the best, and they are comparable to our army...... It's still a little worse! ”

"Cao Mengde is determined to calm the world, so he is naturally ...... Have an understanding of the general trend of the world. With the current strength of the Yanzhou army, Cao Mengde could not defeat Liu Bei and Yuan Shao...... And unify the Central Plains, unify Hebei (all places north of the Yellow River)! ”

"That's why ...... Cao Mengde was reluctant to accept the alliance, because he didn't want my Liangzhou army to be dominant, and he didn't want my Liangzhou army to smoothly pacify Jing and Yizhou! And then there's ...... Cao Mengde knew the strength of his Yanzhou army, so he naturally wouldn't ...... Let my Liangzhou army grow as you wish! ”

"So...... Cao Mengde's reluctance to form an alliance with our army is reasonable! Wen Wei and Bo Miao...... Why do you need to be angry, and why do you need to blame yourself? ”

After listening to his father-in-law's explanation, Fei Yi and Deng Zhi's hearts finally felt better; Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun and others already knew the reason for this, so they didn't say anything more.

Li Mu looked at the direction of Fei Yi and Deng Zhi, and asked thoughtfully: "Cao Mengde didn't even mention any conditions...... Just rejected the two of you? ”

"The condition is ......"

As soon as Li Mu's words fell, Fei Yi and Deng Zhi were both shocked, and the two looked at each other for several breaths, and finally said: "Lord! The two of us...... Don't dare to say! ”

"It seems...... This condition is not ordinarily harsh! ”

Seeing the expressions of Fei Yi and Deng Zhi, Li Mu first muttered thoughtfully, and then said in a solemn voice: "No matter what the conditions are, you two don't hurt to say it!" ”

After three or five breaths, Fei Yi looked up at Li Mu, and then lowered his head again, and said in a deep voice full of resentment: "Cao Mengde said...... As long as the lord returns to Liangzhou, the Yanzhou army will be with our Liangzhou army...... Three years of alliance! He said...... The extra year should be his Cao Mengde's sincerity! ”

"That's a lot of sincerity! What such wishful thinking! ”

Li Mu snorted coldly a few times in his heart, and immediately, he laughed and mocked twice. Then, Li Mu looked at the direction of Fei Yi and Deng Zhi fixedly, and shouted in a low voice with a gloomy face: "The remaining conditions ...... What is it? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”

Seeing that his father-in-law was murderous, Fei Yi and Deng Zhi were frightened and helpless. In the hearts of the two of them, they sighed again and again, and the remaining conditions were really difficult to say, or ...... This condition is too difficult to say, they dare not say it!

After another three or five breaths, Fei Yi and Deng Zhi first threw themselves to the ground towards Li Muyi, and then the two knelt on the ground again.

"Please, my lord...... Forgive me both of them for their capital crimes! ”

Under Fei Yi's constant gaze, Deng Zhi stiffened his head, with a solemn face, his heart beating like thunder, and he muttered intermittently: "Cao Mengde said...... If the lord cannot agree to the first condition, he will ...... The eldest mother, the second mother, the third lady, and the jade lady ...... Give...... Sent to Xu County, he agreed to form an alliance! ”

"Traitor Cao Cao! It's too much to deceive! ”

As soon as Deng Zhi's words fell, Zhao Yun was furious, took the case, and shouted loudly, and immediately, he asked for help with a look of anger: "Big brother! The second brother is willing to lead the Canglong Legion, go out of the Tiger Prison, and return from capturing the rebel Cao Cao...... Leave it at your disposal! If he can't succeed, the second brother is willing to engage in military law! ”

It's in Zhao Yun...... When the hatred in my heart is full and the anger in my chest is overflowing. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's hearts were shocked, and the two immediately raised their heads and looked in the direction of their lord.

"Lord!"

"Cao Mengde is so disrespectful and humiliates the lord so much, it really can't be tolerated! It's just that...... At the moment, it is not the best time for troops to enter Yanzhou, Liang implores the lord...... Swallow this breath for the time being, and when the time is ripe, then fight Yanzhou! Please ...... the lord Think twice and think twice, don't be angry for a while, and ruin the whole major event of pacifying the world! ”

Seeing that his lord's expression was becoming more and more terrifying, Zhuge Liang immediately stood up and saluted Li Mu, and his face was no longer as light as before. Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Liang said with a solemn face.

Pang Tong also said with a sincere face: "Lord! What Kong Ming said is very true! Please think twice before you act! ”

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have been following Li Mu for a short time, so they naturally don't know how much their father-in-law thinks of the important lady and the second lady. However, Xu Shu is very clear.

"Lord!"

At the same time as Pang Tong's words landed, Xu Shu stood up and said with a solemn face: "If the lord wants to send troops to Yanzhou, he is willing to be the military division of the Eastern Expeditionary Army!" Shu, I am willing to avenge the Lord's Gazette! ”

Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at Xu Shu in disbelief and said in surprise: "Yuan Zhi! You ......"

Li Mu glanced around the hall, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my military order......"
