Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Beacon of the World

"The last general, Sun Ce, pays a visit to Mr. Li!" , Sun Ce's spirit seemed to have been drained away, his father's revenge was not avenged, but he was humiliated by Huang Zu from Youyang County, the easternmost part of Jiangxia County, to Deng County, the westernmost part of Nanyang County, and lost consecutive battles, without a victory in more than a dozen battles!

Looking at Sun Ce, who looked haggard and had blood-red eyes, Li Kai said lightly: "Get up!" Sun Bofu, I'm very disappointed in you! I am very sorry for the untimely death of Brother Wentai, but don't forget - this is the troubled times! The Son of Heaven can die in war, who cannot? ”

With a broken drink, Sun Ce raised his head slightly, and said astringently: "As a son of man, my father's bones can't be buried, but they are hung on the head of the city and humiliated in every way!" If I can't even do this, what face will I have in the world? What else do I have to live on? ”

"Hatred can only mean that you lose your judgment of the situation, if you also die, your Sun family will really decline! You are now the pillar of the Sun family! You are the sustenance of your mother, Mrs. Wu! You are the brother of four younger brothers, one younger sister! Your eldest brother is only ** years old, right? Sun Bofu! Is there something you need to figure out? Li said with squinted eyes; Sun Ce's heart twitched, yes, if he was too eager to take revenge, if there was an accident, what would their Sun family do? Sun Ce was silent for a long time, and kowtowed hoarsely: "Please also teach me!" ”

"Get up! Although I am more jealous of your father, I will not see a generation of heroes being humiliated like this, Liu Jingsheng is not particular, since he acts like this, then it is no wonder that I Li Mou did it! Li Kai picked up Sun Ce and said slowly; Sun Ce got up, with some tears in his eyes, and said sonorously: "If Mr. helps me retrieve my father's body!" In the future, the Sun family will have nothing else to say with your dispatch! If anyone violates this word, he will die with an arrow piercing his heart! ”

His father died of an arrow piercing his heart, and the fact that he could make such a poisonous oath shows the unrest and anger in his heart at this time; There were four generals standing behind Sun Ce, and Li Kai looked at the one of them with interest, and said, "Jiang Gongyi? Is it? I had already sent someone to recruit you, but I didn't expect you to come! What a fate! ”

Jiang Qin's heart moved, he didn't dare to speak, he heard Sun Jian say in private, Yuan Shu under him there are two people he is most afraid of, one is Xi Zhicai, but unfortunately this one died young, and the other is Li Xiaoxian, this is the jumping Zhenghuan, especially after the death of Xi Zhicai, he is Yuan Shu's brain, basically Yuan Shu's decisions come from him, a very terrible person; "How many soldiers do you have left? Has Huang Zu entered Xiangyang City now? Li Kai asked, Sun Ce arched his hand, and said hatefully: "Less than five thousand!" Huang Zu, that thief, has already hid in Xiangyang City! ”

"Nearly 35,000 troops, and now there is only a fraction left?" , Li Kai frowned, he had fought with Huang Zu, and he also knew that this old farmer who was more like farming was powerful, but he didn't expect Sun Wentai to be calculated so ruthlessly, and his profane pants were about to be lost, no! It's everyone who got in!

"The last general is incompetent!" , Sun Ce lowered his head and said, Li Kai shook his head: "It's not that you are incompetent, it's that your psychology is completely grasped by Huang Zu, he knows your anxiety, knows your anger, and uses it!" ”

Cheng Yu hurried over from outside, whispering in Li Kai's ear, Li Kai's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and he said angrily: "Zhong Degong! Do you still want to ask me this kind of thing? Cut it directly! Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, this is the greatest sin! Not killing is not enough to calm the anger! Wait a minute! ”

Li Kai suddenly glanced at Old Man Cheng, Old Man Cheng sneered, Li Kai suddenly understood, and said: "The old man is clever, I admire filial piety first!" This is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of! What do you say? ”

"Of course!" , Old Man Cheng nodded: "The security of Dengxian County's defense needs to be reinforced, especially the south gate, what do you say?" ”

"Good!"; The conversation between Li Kai and Cheng Yu said that these people below were confused, but it is certain that Li is very angry now, I didn't expect it! At this time, this kind of thing can still happen, it seems that my elastic pressure is still not enough! Glancing coldly at the four generals behind Sun Ce, Li Kai stretched out his hand without saying a word, motioning for them to sit down first; "Jingle bell", a gust of wind chimes came from outside, and Li Kai was suddenly furious: "Gan Xingba! How many times have I said that! If you dare to take your dog bell again, I'll kill you!" Bastard! How many times do you say you before you understand? ”

"Jingle bell", the sound of the wind chimes stopped abruptly, and a huge head poked into the door with a ghostly head, and came in with a smile, saying: "Sir, you have been a little too irritable lately, I guess you heard it wrong, everything is an illusion, how could I not listen to you?" ”

"Say? What's the matter? My Captain? Li Kai deliberately bit the word lieutenant very hard: "I just thought that you rescued your comrades this time, made meritorious contributions, and accumulated merits can also become a partial general!" What a pity! I'm in a terrible mood right now! It's because of your string of dog bells! ”

"Don't!" , Gan Ning looked at Li Kai, sighed helplessly, and said weakly: "Zhou Heizi is back from outside!" ", the so-called one thing to one thing, Li Mou just restrained this goods, so that he had nowhere to be powerful, and there was nowhere to complain; Oh? Li Kai nodded and said, "Let him come over!" It would be nice if he gave you some stability, and of course, it would be nice if you could give him some jumps! He's just too honest! ”

"Hey, hey!" , Gan Ning smiled and ran out, he was not worried about his position as a general at all, this Li Kai assured him, because his ability is enough, but his surname needs to be sharpened, just like Ma Chao and Chen Zhi, Li Kai controls them quite strictly, only if they are good to them, they are controlled, if you can't look at them, who cares about you?

Zhou Tai's majestic figure came back, wearing black armor, the helmet on his head was still wearing a mask, he made a loud rumbling sound when he walked, took off the helmet, Zhou Tai arched his hands and clenched his fists, and said: "On the order of Mr., Zhou Youping came to pay the order!" ”

"Excellent! Got it all back? Li Kai got up and looked at Zhou Tai's armor, turned his head and said, "Zhongde Gong, how is this armor compared to Xu Zhongkang's?" ”

"It should be slightly better! You asked Zhou Tai to go there in person, just for this thing? Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's indeed a weapon with great lethality!" I don't know how many? ”

Li Kai slowly stretched out two fingers: "It took more than half a year, and more than 5,000 craftsmen kept forging, and now it is only 2,000 bodies!" This is also the limit of Nanyang County now! That little iron ore has been mined almost as well! ”

What he gave Liang Gang to do, Liang Gang did it very well, mining iron ore, building farm tools and weapons, and the most important thing is these heavy armor! As a reward for completing the task for their outstanding performance, Liang Gang and Li Feng were transferred to Li Yan's subordinates and became Li Yan's deputy, mastering more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!

A few days ago, Li Kai ordered Zhou Tai to go to Fuyang County for these things, patted Zhou Tai on the shoulder, Li Kai smiled: "Hard work!" Let's rest, no! You can't go to rest yet! You can choose from all the soldiers and horses stationed in Deng County, and pick out the two thousand of the strongest soldiers! It's up to you! As for your sailor, hand it over to Gan Xingba! ”

Zhou Tai grinned, he understood that although he had mastered 30,000 sailors before, now he was only 2,000 hoplites, and it was not known which was better or worse, but he liked this feeling of being overwhelmed and invincible: "The last general commands!" ”

"Qiao Rui! You are now also being dispatched as the adjutant general of the Naval Division, under the command of Gan Xingba! Li Kai said lightly: "I heard that Jiang Gongyi is also a hero on the water, I don't know if I want to help Gan Xingba?" ”

Jiang Qin met Li Kai's gaze, looked at Sun Ce, who was silent, and hugged his fists and said, "Since Mr. Li has an order, how can he not obey it?" ”

"Bo Fu! Take a break! Within three days, there will be some incidents, and maybe you can take this opportunity to exchange for Brother Wentai's corpse! Li sighed and walked out, he liked the sunny southern weather very much; Ma Chao followed behind Li Kai silently and did not speak, Li Kai turned his body solemnly: "Do you remember what I said to you?" ”

"Don't dare to forget the teachings of the gentleman!" , Ma Chao said in a low voice, Li Kai patted him on the shoulder: "When you grow up, you will grow taller, just remember!" Uncle Chen doesn't have to worry, he's a good boy, Sun Bofu! You have to hold him down! Have to! Certain! ”

Chen Zhi is a wild wolf at best, and Sun Ce is a dragon in the shallows! Once his ambition is stimulated and he seizes the opportunity, he will soar to the sky! And Ma Mengqi is the existence that Li Kai used to suppress him!

"Sir!" , Chen Zhi, who was in the distance, was wearing armor, sweating profusely, and ran over, "I heard that Mr. proved that General Zhou Youping trained heavy armor foot soldiers?" I wonder if I can get my uncle and nephew involved? I want to learn from General Zhou Youping! ”

Since the last time he saw the power of the Tiger Guard Battalion, he was full of yearning for the heavy armored infantry and heavy armored cavalry, and now it is a great opportunity for him to learn, Li Mou treats him differently, and he also knows that as long as he opens his mouth, Li Kai will not refuse; Sure enough, Li Kainu pouted: "If you want to, then go!" The Heavy Armor class is different from other classes, there are many fewer flexibility, more precise coordination, and crushing attacks! I hope you can learn well! Hahaha! ”

On the other side, Sun Ce returned to the camp tent arranged for him by Li Kai, took off his armor, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, was silent for a long time, and said in a hoarse whisper: "Li Xiaoxian didn't treat us as his own people at all!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" , Sun Ce snorted, and Huang Gai said indignantly: "If he treats us as his own people, why don't he speak thoroughly?" Why do you want to transfer Gongyi out again? Gong Yi is the person who has followed the lord for the shortest time, and it is difficult to protect it."

"Uncle Huang!" , Sun Ce looked at Huang Gai with angry eyes: "No matter what, we must obey him now, and only he can help me take back my father's corpse!" I don't want to hear this kind of thing anymore, with Mr. Li's wisdom, can he not think of why his father suddenly appeared in Jiangxia County? ”

Huang Gai stopped talking, but Sun Ce's expression changed, and he said for a while: "The matter of my father's dispatch to Jiangxia County is only known to the people of the generation in Jiangxia County, I know that you doubt him, but he really doesn't know, so he can't talk about assassinating his father!"

We can't figure this out, but I'll find someone to investigate! With his wisdom, this kind of thing can't stop him! If I let me know who assassinated my father, I must break his body into pieces, so that I can only hate in my heart! ”

Sun Ce said fiercely, and then, he picked up the bamboo slip, grinded the pen, and wrote a letter!

Xiangyang City, Liu Biao looked at the letter in his hand, his expression changed, at such a critical moment, there were people in the Yuan army in Deng County who wanted to take refuge in him, is this reliable? Don't look at how he slanders Li on his lips, he is afraid of him in his heart; Liu Biao doesn't believe that with the wisdom of a Li person, he will send an unstable element to guard the most important place, this is a multiple-choice question, if you believe it, you may be ambushed, if you don't believe it, you may lose an excellent opportunity to defeat your opponent, Liu Jingsheng is very entangled; However, after the successful raid, he will be able to gain more, and he lost his mind in the face of such huge benefits, grabbed the letterhead in his hand, and said: "Summons Chen Sheng, Zhang Hu!" led an army of 10,000 as the vanguard, and Huang Zu led 50,000 troops to move as a rear! Zhang Xiu led an army of 30,000 for the left wing, and Zhang Ren led an army of 30,000 for the right wing! Tomorrow morning, the battle begins! ”

Zhang Xiu got Liu Biao's order to come to Jia Xu, Jia Xu squinted, half leaned on the pillar, and said in silence for a long time: "Be careful about tomorrow's affairs, the situation is not right, retreat immediately!" Once defeated, defeated again, Liu Jingsheng will come to me, and then it will be the time for us to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, which is full of scholars! ”

"Will it fail?" , Zhang Xiu muttered, he never doubted Jia Xu's decision, sat down silently, and poured a pot of wine for Jia Xu; Jia Xu closed his eyes, the situation in the whole world appeared in his mind, he didn't dare to say how wise he was, how clever he was, at least now he felt that his choice was right, looking at the world, just looking at the strength, or the strongest in the Emperor Uncle Alliance!

The situation in the land of Hebei changed three times a day, Yuan Benchu was not fortunate to kill the main force of General Baima at Jieqiao, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang intervened, they chose to occupy the entire Bingzhou first, and started from the Youzhou area behind Yuan Shao; As for why he started from Youzhou, it was because the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people there were all allies of Yuan Benchu and part of Yuan Benchu's strength, and Lu Bu chose to break up this alliance first!

Of course, with Lu Bu's surname, he would not do this at all, he would only fight hard with Yuan Benchu, and the reason why there was such an unexpected move was entirely because there was one more person by his side - Chen Gongtai, Chen Gong!

Since Zhongmu County in Chenliu County and Cao Ying disagreed with each other, Chen Gong gave up Cao Mengde, who he was originally optimistic about, and went around looking for what he thought was the master, so as to fulfill his ideals and prove that Cao Ying was wrong!

He and Cao Ying have no deep hatred, but they parted ways because of ideological discord and cultural conflicts, and they can't say who is right and who is wrong, they can only say that they have their own choices, and whoever wins in the end is right! That's all!

Chen Gong is not so simple, he added a few words to Cao Ying's sentence that I would rather bear others than others, and no one should bear me, in order to discredit Cao Mengde, which can be regarded as a means to defeat Cao Ying; Yuan Benchu is also in a state of anxiety now, his allies Wuhuan and Xianbei were beaten by Lu Bu's cavalry, and they lost more than tens of thousands of soldiers, and these allies of his have now begun to plan to break away from his camp; "Three family slaves! I'm going to kill you! Yuan Shao angrily threw the battle report on the ground and sighed: "Why did a very simple thing become so complicated? ”

With Han Fu's timid surname, how could he resist Yuan Benchu? Jizhou was given away, that is also a planned thing! It's a pity that Han Fu was instilled with some different ideas, and now he knows how to resist!

And it was the one who instilled this idea in him - Xi Zhicai! Xi Zhicai always inadvertently let Han Fu see Yuan Shao's personality clearly, and let him know the consequences once he loses Jizhou, in addition to this, Xi Zhicai also pulled a powerful ally Gongsun Zan for Han Fu in the vertical and horizontal techniques to enhance his confidence; So, Han Fu saw the death of Qiao Mao, the Taishou of Dongjun, the annexation of Wang Kuang's forces in Hanoi, and the gradual wariness of Yuan Benchu, coupled with Pan Feng's advice before his death: If you defect to Yuan Benchu, you will die! He made up his mind to wage war with Yuan Shao to this day; What Yuan Shao wants is a complete Jizhou, a rich and peaceful Jizhou, so that he doesn't need to make any effort to restore and develop, and he can directly dispatch troops to attack the next place he likes, but now?

The whole Jizhou is a mess, the war is raging, you can see dried blood stains everywhere, rotting corpses, and the rich and shady Jizhou is a thing of the past! Today's Yuan Benchu is also difficult to ride a tiger, and he must fight to the end!

After thinking about it, Yuan Benchu sent an invitation to his neighbors Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu in Qingzhou; How could Tao Qian, the old fox, be fooled? He is now holding Xuzhou in his arms, but he is waiting for Xuzhou to give him a cub! There is a saying in the world, don't ally with Yuan Benchu, otherwise there will be no return!

The rumors confused the public, Yuan Benchu's situation was even more embarrassing, and Tao Qian categorically rejected Yuan Benchu's invitation for this reason; The annoyed Yuan Shao could only choose to hold on for the time being, not to provoke a war, but to honestly not move, but to sit and watch the world;
