Nanyang, Wancheng, it rained in the early morning, the earth was fresh, the sun rose, the drizzle stopped, the early birds chirped non-stop, there was a peaceful scene everywhere, this is the best time to go out for a walk; Li Mou fell asleep on the bed, for him now there are more and more people running around, and there are fewer and fewer times when he can sleep with peace of mind, Zhen Jiang freshened up, his eyes blinked, and suddenly found a dog's tail grass; Slowly broke it off, tiptoed in, Zhen Jiang lay on the edge of the bed, gently teased the sleeping Li Kai with the grass, hula, the unbearable Li Kai turned over, Zhen Jiang showed a smiling face, and carefully teased him again; "Don't make a fuss! I'm tired! Call me again at noon, and I'll be out of here in the afternoon! Li Mouren muttered, Zhen Jiang's eyes widened, thinking that he remembered something, sat next to Li Kai and shook him awake, gesturing back and forth with his hands; You mean, hey, this brain, got it! Got it! Li Kai was a lot more energetic, a little cunning in his eyes, he smiled, and looked a little ill-willed: "Kiss me, I'll go, or I won't go!" ”

Although Zhen Jiang had a skin-to-skin relationship with him, he was actually very conservative, pointing to the sky outside, and using his hands to make it look like a person walking, which was telling Li Kai that it would not be good to be seen in broad daylight; "Let's go! You don't kiss your grandfather, your grandfather kisses you! Get up! Li Mou abruptly kissed Zhen Jiang, picked up his clothes and put them on, and began to wash, Zhen Jiang asked him to meet a person, or a lot of people, these people are - Zhen family; As a condition for the Zhen clan to be accompanied by 50,000 war horses, they were sent over by Yuan Shao a long time ago, they had no choice, even if they were big businessmen who were rich and rival the country, but they had no guns, no soldiers and horses, and they were not a climate, especially many people thought that merchants were annihilating merchants, and some people who positioned it as the lowest were almost as famous as bandits and bullies; It is worthy of being a leading businessman, who built a mansion in less than a month after arriving here, and looking at the people who continue to come and go, there are many local officials and people from wealthy families, and when I think about it, it is inevitable that money will open the way; However, these officials who came here couldn't let it go easily, pointing to the person in the distance, Li Kai said: "Uncle Zhi! Get that bastard here! If he dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot! ”

"No!" , Chen Zhi said a word coldly, sat down and ejected like a red horse, and was grabbed by the neck and carried over before the man's guard could react! When Zhen Jiang saw this scene, his face turned a little pale, and he asked Li Kai why; "There are some questions you don't understand, and I don't want you to be involved in this filthy thing! Don't worry, I've got my way of dealing with it! Li Kai said softly, and then looked at the guy who loudly reprimanded Chen Dao, with a strong murderous aura: "What's your name?" What is the official position? ”

Looking at the armor beside Li, as well as the suffocating killing intent, this thin scribe gave a salute and said, "Villain Liu Xuan, the current sword and pen officer of Nanyang County!" I don't know who this adult is."

"You don't need to know who I am, I want to know if you came to Zhen's Mansion for business or private business! Answer the truth! Otherwise! I can execute you directly! Li Kai snorted coldly and looked at this person deadly, Zhen's action really shouldn't be! Why are you in such a hurry?

Liu Xuan's eyes rolled, and he didn't dare to look at Li Kai for a long time, and then said, "The villain is here to do private things!" ”

"Who are you from Liu Lin?" , Li Kai asked again, Liu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand: "There is no intersection with the Liu family in Xia!" There is no intersection! ”

"Oh! Go ahead! From tomorrow onwards, you won't go to the Nanyang County Shoufu! Go home, do what you love! Walk! Li Kai glanced at him deeply, and from his flustered look, he knew that this person had a lot to do with Young Master Yuan's eldest brother; If the Zhen family wants to integrate into Nanyang as soon as possible, they will naturally deal with the major families, local snakes and the like, of course, their ambitions are not small, and they are probably thinking about when to become an official, otherwise they will not contact Liu Lin; entered the Zhen Mansion, the steward led the way, the person in charge of the Zhen family is Zhang, that is, Zhen Jiang's adoptive mother, Zhang is not Zhen Jiang's biological mother, but Zhen Yi's wife, who is now more than forty years old, very well maintained, and does not look too old; Seeing Li coming in gracefully, and hearing the words of the steward in his ear, his face was a little unbearable, as if he said sarcastically: "As soon as Mr. Li comes to the door, he wants to drive away our Zhen family's friends and make decisions for our Zhen family?" ”

Li Kai gave a salute, without much respect, and replied not salty: "See you shortly!" If you don't want any trouble in your Zhen family, I advise you to listen to me! Liu Lin can't give you what you want! Mrs. Zhang? Why don't you invite me to sit down? I should be qualified, right? ”

"You may be seated! In Nanyang, who doesn't know how powerful Mr. Li is, who doesn't know? If you can't sit in Zhen's seat, I really can't think of anyone who dares to sit down", Zhang said with a smile, with a thorn in his words! Li Kai said secretly; "Of course, there are still people who are qualified, except for Yuan Gong, who can probably have such grace, and the number of palms in one hand should not be used, right? Mrs. Zhang! If you want Zhen Jiang to invite me over, don't you just want to reprimand me and sarcastically say a few words, right? ”

Zhen's left his hometown and came here because of his words, which is also where Zhang's anger is the most, after thinking about it, he is not qualified to say Li Kai now, if he doesn't know how to advance and retreat, he will bear the consequences!

"Of course not, it's just that I want to ask Mr. Li, why do you say Liu Lin?" , Zhang didn't say it thoroughly, just tried it; Li Kai smiled and said, "Naturally, it's because the territory under Yuan Gong's command is not enough to divide up the various forces!" You Zhen, to put it mildly, you don't enter the stream at all! Even Yuan Gong's own family didn't get any benefits, let alone you! You also believe the words of Liu Lin, that dead fat man!

I understand your eagerness to fit in here, but your way of doing things can easily cause others to be jealous, so it's better to be less active, especially those officials, and don't contact them, it's better to do so! There are many opportunities in the future, why are you in a hurry! ”

"That's it! I'll pay attention to these things! I have to say that there is some truth in Li's words, Zhang's face looked better, and suddenly thought that this is a person who has an in-law relationship with their Zhen family, who is high and powerful, and is indeed much stronger than Liu Lin or something, and thought about it: "I don't know if I can talk to Mr. Li alone about some things?" ”

Li Kai was stunned for a moment, touched his nose, a little weak-hearted, afraid of something! Liu asked: "Although there are some things that are inconvenient to say clearly, I can't help but say them!" Mr. Li, why did Zhen Jiang break the melon when he had no name? What do you think of our Zhen family? ”

"Uh", Li's eyes rolled, a little depressed, and said: "What's that for a while, don't worry, I like her very much, and I will definitely marry her!" Zhang's seemed to want to say something, and the herald came from outside the door, Li Kai's face turned pale several times, and said, "There are still some things to deal with, Mrs. Zhang!" Farewell! ”

When he walked to the lobby, Li Kai glanced at Zhen Jiang in the distance, Zhen Jiang was talking to a little girl about ten years old, the little girl was slim and beautiful, Li Kai smiled and waved his hand: "Zhen Jiang!" You are here! ”

Looking at Li Kai's back, Zhen Jiang was a little worried, his face was uncertain, and finally he sighed gloomily

The herald came to report that 150,000 soldiers and horses had recently gathered in the Xiangyang area, including those from the direction of Yangzhou, and those from the Shuchuan area, who were already ready to move, Ji Ling sent a letter, asking what to do, if Liu Biao provoked a war, whether to fight or not!

"Let's go! Go to Deng County! Li Kai beckoned, the army poured out, Deng County, there is a bridgehead built for Xiangyang, the old man Cheng Yu is currently watching there, with him and Ji Ling, Zhou Tai, and Huang Zhong's assistance, I think there is no problem!

Indeed, there would have been no problem, the question was that someone came, and who? Sun Jian! Sun Wentai couldn't wait to look for an opportunity after his son got married, and this time he thought it was an opportunity, so he decided to participate in this big battle; After a long time of planning, Sun Wentai set his sights on Yangzhou, so he suggested that Yuan Shu lead his troops to raid Jiangxia County and Jiujiang County, attack the hinterland of Yangzhou, and pull Liu Miao back from the Emperor Uncle Alliance when Li Kai was facing off against the Imperial Uncle Army in Xiangyang!

Yuan Shu agreed to this suggestion, so on the fifth day of Sun Ce's new marriage, he took 30,000 soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu and embarked on the journey; For him, he doesn't care whether this process is good or bad, what he cares about is that he has worked hard for it, and he has no regrets! How can you win a game for your dreams in the world?

In Jiangxia County, Liu Biao didn't call his first general back from Jiangxia County for some reason this time, but instead ordered Huang Zu to defend Jiangxia County with peace of mind, so that what Sun Jian expected was in vain!

Deng County, Cheng Yu looked into the distance at the head of the city, the black clouds overwhelmed the city, although Liu Biao had not moved for the time being, but this suffocating aura had already been transmitted, and the depression was terrifying, after all, he was going to face the most powerful force in the world now! There is no one!

If it was Dong Zhuo in his heyday, he might be stronger than the Emperor Uncle Alliance in the three southern states, but now Dong Zhuo has long been hung up, and the strongest in the world is this Emperor Uncle Alliance, and the next one is Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu, right? Such as others are not comparable; The three southern states, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, occupy almost one-third of the world's land, with a population of more than 10 million, and they lack nothing in grain, grass, war horses, and talents! Infantry, sailors, cavalry, no one is afraid; Cheng Yu paid close attention to the enemies who were very close to him, and similarly, Liu Biao was also paying attention to his actions at all times, the reason why he didn't make a move after Liu Miao and Liu Zhang were all here was that he had some concerns, and this concern was Cheng Yu himself; "I've also heard of Cheng Zhongde's name! This man is not an easy master to deal with! Jia Xu said lightly, and the top position next to him was Liu Jingsheng, who came alone: "Of course, what is even more terrifying is Li Xiaoxian!" ”

The last time Li Kai fought with him can be said to be a draw, but in fact, Li Kai took a big advantage, it was a fluke to achieve a victory, and it was also the biggest victory, he used a lot of things that Jia Xu didn't know to fight, in that case, Jia Xu could fight with him to a draw is enough to see how powerful he is; If he fights again, it is unknown whether Li Kai can defeat and draw Jia Xu, but he has a preconceived idea, Jia Xu's attention to him is quite high now, he wants to defeat all opponents, especially where he is best at! That's how he can show his talent!

"Li Xiaoxian? That megalomaniacal? Liu Jingsheng pouted very displeased, but he also had to admit that it was Li Kai who pulled him down from the position of Jingzhou pastor in the first place, if it weren't for Wang Rui's own problem, it was still unknown who would be in charge of this place!

"An arrogant man must have his arrogant capital!" , Jia Xu smiled: "Now Uncle Liu Huang has gathered an army of 150,000 people, which seems to be very strong, but in fact it is not!" Not to mention how strong the combat ability of these soldiers who rarely fight can be, just whether the one in Yangzhou and the one in Yichuan can obey your orders is enough to give people a headache! ”

"That's no problem! My nephew Liu Zhang's surname is cowardly, and Liu Yan has repeatedly explained that my soldiers and horses are under my command, but Liu Zhang must not have any problems, but the two generals under him, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, are not easy to deal with! As for Liu Xuan, he hates Li Xiaoxian to death now, right? Liu Biao said lightly; Liu Miao and Liu Dai are biological brothers, and Li killed his younger brother indirectly, this account must be counted anyway, who will contribute if he doesn't contribute?

Jia Xu was silent, and asked for a while: "Then I don't know how Uncle Liu Huang plans to fight this battle?" Is it a rush or a delayed war, a local war, or an all-out decisive battle? ”

"I can't draw conclusions about this yet, the situation of the battle is changing dizzyingly fast, how can I predict it? But what I want to do now is to uproot this place in Deng County, and at least recover the general land of Nanyang County! Otherwise, wouldn't so many armies be in vain? ”

"Oh!" , Jia Xu nodded, this place in Deng County is indeed a nail that threatens Xiangyang, it must be pulled out, how can the so-called side of the couch allow others to snore, such a place has always been stationed with a large number of soldiers and horses, no one will rest assured; On the other side, Li Kai also began to discuss with Cheng Yu what to do next, Cheng Yu said: "Liu Biao has always been immobile for some reason, and the situation is a little unclear!" Xiaoxian, what do you think? ”

Li said: "What else? He didn't move, he was worried about the problem of Deng County! I estimate that if he provokes a war, he will inevitably go straight to Deng County, and here can directly threaten his old nest Xiangyang, how can he let it go?

Gather Zhou Tai and Huang Zhong all over! There is no need to guard against any waterways, what we need is for Deng County to gain a firm foothold now and take the lead in the big battle with them! In this way, the war will go in the direction we expect! ”

"Yizhou is too far away from us, but Yangzhou can reach out! Do you want to take this opportunity to take Jiujiang County and Lujiang County? Cheng Yu asked: "Liu Miao is now in Jingzhou, Yangzhou's defense must be empty, it is indeed a great opportunity!" ”

"Don't think about it so much! Tao Qian, that old guy, might even intervene! Li Kai shook his head: "I heard that he has a good personal relationship with Liu Xuan, and the two have also formed an alliance, how many can stand out in this troubled world are fuel-efficient lamps?"

It's not a good Lord! Tao Qian will never give us a chance to be big! Let's not make things bigger, see if we can control things within a certain range first, and if not, let's talk about it then! You tell me? Zhong Degong? ”

"Alright! Listen to you! So what are you going to do now? After mobilizing heavy troops, the defenses of other places in Nanyang are very empty, and a partial division can directly break through the past and directly capture Wancheng! You can't do that, right? Cheng Yu shrugged his shoulders, and the old man was still a little happy;" Of course, you can't leave it alone! That's why I need you to take charge of the overall situation! Hahaha! This Deng County will be handed over to you! I'm going to sweep back and forth across this land with 30,000 cavalry, executing free tactics! ", Li Kaidao;" That's good! Deng County has experienced the construction of Mao Jue and Yuan Lian, and now although it cannot become a world hero like Tiger Prison and Hangu because of its geographical location, it is also a very strong and dangerous pass! The city is high and strong, and there are more than 80,000 strong soldiers to defend it, if the other party breaks through my old face, there will be no place to put it! ”；“ Hahaha! Li Mou laughed and said, "I'm worried about whether the visual ladder can hook our wall!" ”

Cheng Yuwan smiled, he knew that this was just a joke, and he wouldn't take it seriously, even if it was a Xiongguan like Tiger Prison Pass, let alone here: "Prepare it!" It's just that we are up against these three imperial uncles! I really don't know the bottom of my heart! ”

"What's bottomless?" , Li Kai said: "I think this opponent is already very weak!" They seem to be strong, but they don't have to be like that! There are many soldiers and different commands, and the generals are wide but the government orders are unclear! It is not a good thing that there are countless voices in one force!

Now they occupy nearly half of the world, and their momentum is monstrous, but I haven't taken them in my eyes yet, compared to people like Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, and Lu Fengxian, they can only have a little conspiracy and trickery, and they only know Liu Jingsheng, who took advantage of the wealthy family of the scholar clan to rise to the throne - it's not enough to see! ”

The words were sonorous and powerful, and Cheng Yu suddenly realized in his heart? Li Mou is just talking about happiness, it is nothing more than cheering up the people on his side, if he really didn't take Liu Biao and them in his eyes, why did he rush over, instead of killing Cao Ying when he was the weakest?

Especially Li Kai has been suspecting that Jia Xu is in Xiangyang now, and he has already sent a detailed work to investigate, if it is really a not very wonderful thing!
