It was still raining. The drizzle was blowing, the north wind was gusting, and the severe cold swept across the land of Jianghuai.

After the completion of the camp in the east, all the Xiliang iron cavalry temporarily living in the camp of Lu Bu were stationed in Dongzhai.

After noon, the follow-up soldiers and horses stranded on the north bank arrived at the camp one after another, so far all the 100,000 troops of the southern expedition were assembled in Dongzhai.

The two large camps in the east and west are separated by two miles, and the soldiers and horses of the Yuan Alliance are stationed in the two directions. Lü Bu's camp was located in the west, with more than 70,000 troops; To the east is the camp of the Xiliang Army, with 100,000 troops.

Originally, the two roads were quite close, and even the camp of the Xiliang Army was built with the help of Lu Bujun. However, with Xun You's sudden visit with a lot of money and a fierce dispute with Lu Bu in the hands of Lu Bu, the atmosphere of harmonious coexistence between the two armies suddenly became tense.

Subsequently, Lu Bu, who was invited to the banquet, excused himself and did not go to the appointment, but Chen Gong brought some Xuzhou generals to the banquet. Coincidentally, Li Li, the commander of the Xiliang Army, also did not show up at the banquet, and the military adviser Guo Jia entertained Chen Gong and his party on his behalf, accompanied by a group of Xiliang generals.

A feast that should have been lively and lively broke up unhappily, making the atmosphere of the two armies living next to each other more and more tense, and there was a tendency to turn against each other and become tense with each other.

So far, there has been no contact between the officers and men of the two armies. The Lu Bu battalion also strengthened the camp for this purpose, sent additional soldiers to guard the camp, and sent additional scouts to patrol and guard day and night, as if always guarding against the Xiliang army attacking the camp.

This tension lasted for three days. On the fourth day, the deadline for Li Li to order the marriage of Lü Bu's daughter, Lü Lingqi, the situation between the two armies was tense to the extreme. From the beginning of the hazy dawn, even the air was filled with a strong murderous aura. A big war is imminent, and it is on the verge of breaking out.

Towards noon, the autumn rains, which had lasted for nearly twenty days, suddenly stopped. The sky is starting to clear. In a short time, a series of bright and gorgeous rainbows crossed the sky, hanging above the two camps, pleasing to the eye, making people's hearts suddenly open-minded, and a qiē seemed to be so beautiful. Seeing that the soldiers of the two armies were overjoyed, they swept away the haze that had been squeezed for a long time. I can't help but smile knowingly.

At this time, Lu Bu's camp suddenly opened the gate, and the red colored silk hung on the gate. Then the gongs and drums were noisy. A group of cavalry dressed in red silk slowly drove out of the gate, but stopped outside the gate.

The scouts of the Xiliang army who found out the news quickly returned, and a moment later, the eastern camp also opened the gate, and the big red silk hung on the gate. Despite the fact that it is daytime, there is no need to light up. But the inside and outside of the camp are still full of lights. A jubilant scene.

About a quarter of an hour later, the military advisor Guo Jia led a thousand cavalry and went straight to Lu Bu's camp with eight sedan chairs.

?????? At this point, a great war disappeared into invisibility. The officers and men of the two armies, who had not interacted with each other, were reconciled again, and became close and familiar again, and the two large camps full of joy were unprecedentedly lively.

In the afternoon of this day, Li Li once again invited Lu Bu and his generals to the banquet. As a result, Lu Bu and all the generals were present. Li Li also appeared at the banquet. At the right time, the civil and military forces of the two armies gathered together. Staggered, drinking, as if nothing had happened, happy and happy, guests and hosts.

This is a silent psychological battle, comparing who is stronger and who is stronger in the psychology of the two coaches. At the same time, it is also a political game, where the winner wins a qiē, and the loser does not lose completely, but has to pay the due price and lose the most precious thing.

Whether it is a psychological contest or a political game, what really determines the outcome is the strength of both sides. Strength determines success or failure, strength determines a qiē, and strength is the most fundamental guarantee.

At the end of the day, this is an era where the strong are respected.

????????????????????????

In the inner room of the Chinese army's big tent, a cool breeze penetrated in, the wind lamp flickered slightly, and the tent shook gently. The dragon flying phoenix dance of the big "Xi" character is tied on the wooden wall on the north side of the bedroom, and the room is hung with red silk, red luan warm tent, white jade hotbed, and the decoration is very warm.

A qiē is all the decoration of Li Li's past when he married a wife and took a concubine, and it is unchanged, which is the inherent rule of Li Li to marry a wife and concubine. It was because of the usual practice to marry Lu Bu's daughter Lu Lingqi this time, Xun You, who was responsible for organizing the wedding, specially consulted Guo Jia for this purpose, so he carefully decorated this joyful bedroom wedding room.

In addition to the inner room of the marital room, which is connected to the tent, there is also a door in the southeast corner of the inner room, which leads to the dormitory at the back of the tent. It was also a dormitory, and it was much larger than this one, and there was also a side room where the attendants lived.

In the bedroom behind the handsome tent lived Li Li's three wives and concubines who came with the army, namely Chen Yu, the flat wife, Xiao Qiao, the concubine, and the foot trainer. Therefore, this time Li Li's army marched south and the previous eastward expedition to Youzhou. During the more than a year of the conquest of Youzhou, Li Li did not have a wife and concubine with him, because the situation in Youzhou was unclear, and it was icy and snowy, and it was extremely cold. However, this southern expedition is very different, compared to Xiliang, Huainan is relatively warm, and the Xiliang army has already gained a firm foothold in the Huainan battlefield, and has a clear advantage in terms of troops. It was Li Li who accompanied the army with his female dependents on this southern expedition, and followed the rear army to the camp three days ago.

Tonight is the wedding night of Li Li and Lu Lingqi. Although Li Li had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, this qiē had nothing to do with Lu Lingqi, so the wedding was very lively, and the ceremonies were still carried out according to the old rules. The only difference is that there is no chapel ceremony at the wedding, only a simple tea ceremony, after giving tea to his wife Chen Yu, Lu Lingqi is considered to have passed the door, and then she will be a member of the Li family.

This new rule, which is different from the current etiquette, is obviously from Li Li's hand, and this move is quite meaningful. As for the intention, I am afraid that only Li Li himself knows, and others have no way to figure it out.

The night was deep, and the feast in the main hall had dispersed. In the inner room, Lu Lingqi, who was wearing a red Luo skirt, sat on the edge of the bed with a red hijab, her slightly thin delicate body was tense, and her waist was straight. It is revealed that she is very nervous about her upcoming wedding night, shy and reserved, lonely and hesitant, and even a little afraid.

By the end of the feast, she had been sitting alone for two hours. From the moment she left her father's (Lu Bu) camp, she covered her head and never saw anyone again for an entire afternoon, until now. But from a military general's family, she clearly knew that there were two maids standing beside her all the time, and they stayed with her in this extremely unfamiliar room for two hours.

In the past, with Lu Lingqi's cheerful and active temperament, she would have lifted her hijab by herself and freed herself, and she would never sit so quietly and quietly. But today is no longer the same as before, today is the most important day of her life, and it is also an important moment that will determine the fate of her life. Before leaving, my aunt (Lu Bu's flat wife Yan, Lu Lingqi's stepmother) told her that a woman must get married and follow her husband, and after leaving the cabinet, she must get rid of her previous bad habits, not be willful, not do it casually, and not ?????? In addition, the aunt also privately taught her many unheard-of techniques in the room, and secretly told her behind Lu Bu's back that a woman's lifelong happiness is in her own man, and she must please her husband.

Lu Lingqi seemed to understand what her aunt said, and she didn't have a clue, but this did not prevent her from thinking. In the final analysis, many of my aunt's instructions mean the same thing: that is, the husband she married Lu Lingqi is not an ordinary person, not just her man, but also related to the life and death of her whole family. If she serves her husband Li Li well, then a qiē will naturally be solved, otherwise it will invite a catastrophe and cause disaster to the Lu family.

In addition, Lu Lingqi also knew that her father Lu Bu originally planned to marry her to Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao, in an attempt to climb the high branches of the Zhong Emperor and become an imperial relative of the Zhong regime, and after Yuan Yao ascended the throne, he would become the national ruler. However, with the decline of Yuan Shu's power in Huainan day by day, coupled with the coercion of the general Li Li, her father Lu Bu had to send troops to attack Yuan Shu, causing this family affair to run aground.

Three days ago, the general Li Li sent an envoy to force his relatives, once again mentioning the old past a few years ago, and forcing Lu Bu to marry his daughter. The three-day deadline may have been too tight for other generals leading troops to fight, and it was impossible to do it, but it was easy for Lu Bu. Since many years of war, Lu Bu has always led his troops to fight with his most beloved wife and children, and this expedition to Huainan is naturally no exception.

Lu Lingqi had also heard about this before, and knew the whole thing, and it was from then on that she paid special attention to all the rumors about the general Li Li. However, after really knowing what kind of person Li Li is, she has mixed feelings in her heart, and many thoughts are piled up in her heart, and she doesn't know what her impression of Li Li is until today.

?????? Time passed silently, and the big tent outside the dormitory had long since fallen silent.

Lu Lingqi, who was sitting alone on the soft couch, thought that after the feast was dispersed, her husband Li Li would come to the inner room, lift the red cover on her head, and after seeing her beautiful and lovely face, the impatient tiger pounced.

Since the moment she entered the cave room, this kind of scene has been lingering in Lu Lingqi's mind, which makes her ashamed and afraid, but she has a trace of expectation. Because she has absolute confidence in her appearance and figure, and even narcissism, all the men who have seen her have straight eyes, lost their souls, and can't move their legs for a long time. Because of this, her father Lu Bu has always regarded her as the pearl of his palm, taking care of her in every possible way (maybe it is a strange commodity to live in), not letting her show her face, let alone contact with other men.

However, tonight, Lu Lingqi was disappointed again and again. As long as there was a sound outside the tent, she thought that Li Li was coming in, but she waited left and right, and there were more than ten sounds, and she waited for half an hour, but still no one entered the cave room.

Just when Lu Lingqi felt unprecedented grievances and extremely lost, suddenly a "squeak" sound of opening the door broke the silence of the cave room, and then a steady footstep walked in??????
