Chapter 141: Meet Again
"Hey, hey, hey", a man with a strange expression rode a tall horse, holding the reins in one hand, but the other hand was in front of his eyes, and from time to time he let out a sigh of grace, probably a silver-dang smile, right?
The car is like a dragon, the horse is neighing, and the mighty convoy that stretches for miles gallops on the official road, and has entered the realm of Chenliu at this time, due to the large number of people and the upcoming big event, the sky of the entire Han is covered with the clouds of war, so this group of people who seem to be a super caravan has not yet encountered those little thieves who do not open their eyes to cut the path; Everyone is normal, except for the person Li who started to look at his hands and smile non-stop when he left Nanyang County, it probably dates back to five days ago, when he set out on the expedition, someone was very unscrupulous and ate the unmarried concubine Zhen Jiang, so he became like this; "Filial piety? Filial piety? Wipe! With a bang, Li fell to the ground, and next to him was the depressed Young Master Yuan, who was roaring non-stop: "Are you sick?" Yes? I've been giggling for five days! Ask you anything, hehe! Oh, your sister! ”
Li Kai, who had just woken up from a dream, looked confused, patted the dust on his body, and said lightly: "Where is this?" Yuan Gong? What are you talking about? I don't think I have a sister, do I? ”
"Uh, you're ruthless!" , Young Master Yuan covered his forehead: "I'm angry with you!" It's almost time for sour dates! Sober up! I'm counting on you to give me ideas! Don't be stupid, you're not ashamed, I'm ashamed! ”
"Oh! Got it! Li Kai rolled his eyes, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I suddenly thought of something, in this way, aren't we holding Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance?" Do you think about what other positions are more important besides the alliance leader? ”
"Pioneer! Only by winning the first battle can the morale be greatly boosted, so that everyone can work together", Young Master Yuan didn't want to reply directly; "The vanguard is the most dangerous position, and it is still safe to win, and it is good to defeat the one who will be pointed out by Wanfu, and bear all the charges, this kind of thankless, no oil and water work, I estimate that no one is willing to take it except for the fierce general! The most important position is - the Governor of Grain and Grass! Li Kai blinked; Yuan Shu's eyes lit up, and he arched Li Kai with his shoulders: "You kid is really unprofitable, it's bad enough!" Oh, by the way, who is Brother Mengjiang? ”
"Whoa! That's it! Li Mouren motioned to Yuan Shu to turn around with his eyes, and happened to see Sun Jian riding his horse and running this way, and the fierce general brother went to the area of Deng County and recruited more than 7,000 people to form a force of 10,000 people; It's just that except for his three thousand elites, the rest are not worth mentioning, they are all rabble, taking advantage of the current time, he has been looking for trouble with bandits and bandits while walking in the past few days, and there are no less than ten large and small cottages that have been broken by him; Those defeated bandits and bandits were also absorbed by him, in short, his current soldiers and horses are growing like a snowball, and the more people are fighting, the more people are fighting, it has reached about 15,000 people, I have to admire his methods, under the suppression of Yuan Shu, he can still grow so strong; "Yuan Gong! Crossing the Yellow River is to seal the hill, and it is only twenty or thirty miles away from the sour jujube! Do you want to send someone to ask the Allies about it, and send some people to come and bring us the food? Sun Jian clenched his fists and asked respectfully; Yellow River? Arrived so soon? Li Kai was a little surprised, and listened carefully to the sound of the surging river, but it was just drowned out by the sound of the march of the large army shouting horses, and it was about to arrive at the sour date!
Li Mouren nodded: "We don't have the tools to cross the river, so we can only do this, send a sentry horse, I will write a letter to Yuan Shao, and ask him to send a boat to transport us across the river, Yuan Gong, what do you think?" ”
"You look at it! Say less and make fewer mistakes! Master Yuan said with a smile: "I'll go see Zhicai, his bones are really fragile enough, and when he returns to Nanyang, he will definitely find a famous doctor for treatment!" That's right, Wentai! When you were a Taishou in Changsha County, didn't you hear where the original Doctor Zhang went? ”
"I don't know about this! As far as I know, Doctor Zhang has been traveling all over the world since he resigned from the official position, as if he was traveling with someone, I really don't know what he is doing, you also know my rough surname, I only know how to fight, and I rarely have contact with anything else! Sun Jian replied; Oh! Looks like it's going to take some time to find him! Yuan Shu said with emotion, turned around and got on the horse and chased after the carriage in front of him, no longer paying attention to the people behind him; Is this what is called the three hundred taels of silver in this place? I just know that the battle is interesting! Li Kai glanced at Sun Jian quite meaningfully, with a smile on his face, Sun Jian's heart suddenly burst, the hairs on his body stood up, and he felt as if he had been seen through!
"Brother Wentai! I'm also taking my leave! I also want to write a letter to that Yuan Dameng master! Li Mouren walked away with a smile, he didn't mind letting Sun Jian know that Yuan Shao had Yuan Shu's support, and the position of alliance leader was already in hand, and Chiguo Guo showed Sun Jian their secret tricks; Yuan Shu left, Sun Jian's vigilance has not been issued, after Li Mouren left, his heart was put down, relieved, Sun Jian felt that his head was sweating, damn, the corpse mountain and sea of blood have come over, why can't he be nervous when he sees this smiling tiger?
Brother Meng has never understood why he feels pressure when facing Li Kai, until Li Kai's smile just now, this thing is a yin person! smiling on the surface, a brother and a brother, I don't know behind it; I have to find a way to get out of Yuan Shu's place, and the strategy of borrowing chickens and eggs may not succeed! Sun Jian closed his eyes tightly, and his mind kept changing and thinking, how to stand on his own, he has been under the command of Yuan Shu, and sooner or later he will play with that yin man to death; As one of the few ferries of the Yellow River, the flow of the Yellow River in the Fengqiu area seems to be very gentle, but it has already made a huge roar, and you can even see the ice flowing in the river before and after the Qingming Festival
Standing on the riverbank, a breeze blows, mixed with mist, into people's sleeves, and the feeling of frost makes people feel like urine! No, Li Mou pretended to be very forced and yelled: "Yellow River! My mother! ”
After shouting, he hurriedly ran backwards, he didn't want to be slapped into the river by an abrupt wave of water, and then helplessly added: "This is a fucking stepmother!" ", probably running fast, where he was originally standing, was indeed struck by a splash of water;" Whew! Sure enough, it's a fast run! Li Kai stroked his chest and murmured in horror: "What a stepmother?" As he muttered, a large group of boats on the other side of the river drove towards him, and the noise caught his attention; Especially an old man standing on the bow of the building ship, who was excitedly shouting at him what to do, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be Kong Ling! Brother Kong! On a whim, Brother Kong was still singing, and Li's eyes rolled and he thought of something; Li Kai shouted affectionately: "Li Kai will want to take a boat, hear the singing on the other bank, the surging river is thousands of feet deep, not as deep as Kong Ling to welcome me!" ”
As soon as this poem came out, Brother Kong's face was even more excited when he was about to arrive on the shore, and he immediately applauded, and another personable old man next to him also had his eyes shining, and said loudly: "I have heard for a long time that Li Xiaoxian is only eight buckets!" When I saw it today, it really lived up to its reputation! In a moment, you can compose a poem! Kong Rong admires! ”
When the boat docked, Kong Ling got off the boat quickly, and he didn't look like an old man over fifty years old, holding Li Kai's hand and looking up and down, his eyes were full of tears: "Brother Xian!" I heard that you were kidnapped by thieves, but I was really worried about me, but fortunately, you are blessed and escaped from the tiger's mouth safely, otherwise there will be one less talented man in this big Han country! ”
"Brother Kong has no worries! Am I not alive and well? This is thanks to Yuan Gong's life-saving grace! If he hadn't subdued the thief, I'm afraid you and I would never see each other again! Li Mouren also said with emotion, on the surface, he was moved inexplicably, but in fact, he was ashamed that Kong Ling was an honest man! Lie to him, my heart is uneasy!
"Then I really want to thank Yuan Gong!" , Kong Ling is a state assassin, and he actually gave a salute to Yuan Shu, the county guard, Yuan Shu also knew what was going on, so he suppressed the smile in his heart, and replied with sincere fear: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" Seeing that the road is uneven, pulling out a knife to help is really what my generation should do! ”
"Hahaha! No wonder after seeing General Yuan's letter to Ben Chugong, you couldn't wait to come! I see! Kong Rong is a distant relative of Kong Ling, they are all famous Confucians, this time Kong Ling invited Ying to come to answer Yuan Shu, and he also came, just to meet the person who was only eight buckets tall in Kong Ling's mouth; Wen Jugong! Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! How are you doing? ", Seeing that Kong Rong Yuan Shu is also smiling and smiling, very qualified Confucian etiquette, after all, Kong Rong hangs the name of the descendant of Confucius Lao Fuzi, this is the spiritual leader of Confucian scholars, no one dares to underestimate it;" After noon, I think it's better to transport grain and grass first! You can't let the righteous go hungry and join the alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo, right? Li Kai looked at the sky and smiled: "Brother Gongxu! Wen Jugong! Yuan Gong! Let's move on and talk! ”
"Good!" , Master Yuan: "Hansheng!" The task of supervising the transportation of grain and grass is entrusted to you! I'll accompany the two sages to chat and catch up on the old days! ”
"Looking at Xiaoxian's appearance, are you planning to assist General Yuan?" , Kong Ling sighed and asked: "Brother Xian was kidnapped by those evil bandits, it really scared me to death!" Later, I heard from the people who went back that if it weren't for the fact that the virtuous brother had raised the tiger with his body, he voluntarily used himself as collateral to let the others go."
Hearing Kong Ling's chattering questions, Li Kai almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he was the mastermind of that time, "Speaking of fate, when I was in Luoyang, I was also down-and-out and almost starved to death, if it wasn't for Yuan Gong who saved me, I'm afraid that I would later follow Yuan Gongxi to quell the rebellion, and I repaid some kindness, I originally planned to travel around the world, who would have thought that I would suffer from this!" Yuan Gong saved me again! I can't repay the two life-saving graces, so I can only try my best to help him plan something! ”
"Knowing the grace of the retribution, he is really a humble gentleman!" , Kong Rong was greatly admired, and Li Kai also patted the sycophants in a timely manner: "Compared to Wen Jugong, there is still a lot to learn in the future!" Shame shame shame! Every time I hear that Wen Jugong can make pears at the age of six, I am very impressed! ”
The sedan chair is carried by everyone! Kong Rong Daru, who is quite a bit fairy-like, also smiled when he heard such praise, stroked his beard and praised Young Master Yuan's benevolence and righteousness, praised Li as a young hero, and his achievements in the future are limitless; Enough of the hypocrisy, Li Kai also began to inquire about the current situation of the coalition forces: "I don't know how much the current allies are coming?" Dong Zhuo's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a thief, we wait for the alliance to crusade and try to punish the thief, this is the righteous thing in the world, I am afraid that some people are unwilling to contribute to the next worry, Dong Zhuo's strength is strong, if our strength is not enough, I am only afraid"
"Hahaha! Hyo-san is worried! The Eighteenth Road Volunteer Master will send you! Added up before and after, there are nearly more than 600,000 soldiers and horses! With such a large number of righteous divisions, are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat a thief? Kong Ling laughed, and her words were full of contempt for Dong Zhuo; There are times when you can't laugh, such a light enemy, no matter how many troops there are, they are just chickens and dogs, a group of rabble, soldiers who have not been trained for a few days, can they be compared with Xiliang Xiaoqi? Those are the strongest soldiers who have experienced war and fighting!
"Oh! Then I'm really worried! This time, we transported 500,000 stones, grain and grass, and the march was inevitably slow, dragging everyone down! Li said with a smile, and then winked at Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu understood; The coalition is huge, can Dong Zhuo make any moves recently? I'm worried about my uncle in the city! A few days ago, I sent him a letter asking him to get out of the land of right and wrong as soon as possible, but he didn't want to, hey, it's really stubborn and terrible! Yuan Shu was inexplicably sad; Confucianism such as loyalty and filial piety has always been advocated, and Yuan Shu's current performance will naturally win Kong Rong's favor: "General Yuan is really a person of pure filial piety!" Yuan Sikong was reluctant to dodge, probably because he wanted to be a thief with us."
Talking all the way, Kong Rong and Kong Ling don't have too many eyes, Young Master Yuan is different from Li Kai, they are talking with a purpose, Kong Rong has a reputation that they can obtain, and Kong Ling's Yuzhou is still very attractive; After the army crossed the river, a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old man with a somewhat similar face to Yuan Shu, a handsome middle-aged man, saw that his Yuan Shu's face became difficult to look at, and whispered to Li Kai: "Yuan Yi! My cousin! Shanyang is too guarded, and I have never been at odds! ”
"Oh! Then you should be enthusiastic! I guess Yuan Benchu sent him to spy on us, right? Hehe! I'll go see Brother Zhicai first! Li Kai said with a smile, Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, and then he greeted him with a smile: "Brother Boye!" It's been a long time! ”
Yuan Yi may not have expected Yuan Shu to greet each other with a smile like this, no matter how much they don't quarrel when they meet, they will feel unhappy, but he didn't expect to reach out and not hit the smiling person, he can only greet each other with a smile; Kong Rong exclaimed on the side: "Yuan Highway is really", anyway, this old man's tongue has softened in the past two days, and it is not bad for these two people; The princes of the Eighteenth Route just got together, and they didn't take any practical action against Dong Zhuo, nor did they establish the merits of the real surname, so they began to compete for fame and fortune, which really shouldn't be!
Where there are people, there will be interests, and if there is a competition for interests, there will be rivers and lakes, that is, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes!
The princes of the Eighteenth Road are not working together, everyone has their own plans, and they only get together because Dong Zhuo is too powerful now, if he is allowed to develop again, then no one in the world can stop him, and for now, they can only get together to fight against Dong Zhuo; It was getting late, and the group arrived at the base camp of sour jujube after a long journey, the whole camp was endless, all kinds of flags were waving in the wind, and the soldiers of all walks of life were also dressed in different clothes and armor mixed together, just like haggis soup, dirty; Yuan Shao deliberately wore a black dress, which set off him more heroic and upright, no wonder, people have a body with a clothes rack, unlike some people, the clothes can't be held up, and seeing the large team of soldiers and horses rolling in, his eyes show joy; With Yuan Shu's support, no one in the entire coalition army can hinder him from taking the position of the leader of the alliance, and there are currently five or six people who have expressed their desire to make him the leader, such as Yuan Yi, Wang Kuang, and Qiao Mao
Of course, Yuan Shao is not without opponents, although the first time the Dong coalition army was disbanded for various reasons, but they are now one, and their strength cannot be underestimated, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Liu Dai, Tao Qian, Kong Ling, these people were all together at the beginning, and this time they almost arrived together; In addition, there is also Cao Ying, who stabbed Dong alone, initiated the suppression of thieves, and called on the alliance to beg for thieves, this guy has the help of Chen Liuwei's family, both his reputation and talent are enough, and the only thing he lacks may be his background; "Don't do it for a long time! Big brother is still okay? Yuan Shu put on a smiling face, revealing his white eight teeth, and greeted all the people who came to greet him loudly, which was extraordinarily polite, so that everyone couldn't help but sigh, Shi Bei San said that he should be impressed, and the young master Yuan, who used to look at people with his nostrils, has changed!
With such a grand event, Li Kai naturally had to join in the fun, looking left and right at every prince who came to the alliance, of course, he was most concerned about two people, the first was Ma Teng, and the second was Gongsun Zhan; In the afternoon, he chatted with Xi Zhicai for a while, Xi Zhicai's body was too weak, so that he was bedridden, he told Li to do one thing, this matter is the method of combining vertical and horizontal, that is, to win over allies, and implement the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack!
So Ma Teng and Gongsun Chan are undoubtedly the best candidates at present, with the bear child Ma Chao as the medium, Ma Teng thinks he will give some face, as for Gongsun Chan, it seems that he has a lot of friendship with Yuan Shu; was looking at Gongsun Zhan, and he could see that a pair of big eyes suddenly appeared on the opposite side, "Volley staring!" "Good fellow, it's okay to be black enough! Li's little liver was almost not scared by that benevolent brother! is also because it is getting late, the other party is too dark, so his eyes are highlighted, as if hanging in mid-air; Sure enough, the three brothers also came, and next to the sunspot was a nine-foot-long giant, with a long beard under his chin that fluttered in the wind, handsome! Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Xuande with a gentle smile!
"Filial piety! Long time no see! Li Kai, who was thinking, was interrupted by a hoarse laugh, Cao Mengde greeted him, Li Kai could only entertain, after a call broke him, Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao, Yuan Shao and other old friends, who had a few faces, all said hello; At the moment, it was a good time, and then the big guys entered the big tent, where the banquet had already been set up
