After the matter was finalized, Li Li pretended to smile casually and asked, "I heard that Bo Fu is building a ship by the river recently, I don't know how the progress is?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of harmony when the generals had just expressed their opinions disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold air that suppressed depression like substance.

In a moment, there was silence in the tent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Sun Ce, who was sitting at the head of the tent on the left side, suddenly felt caught off guard when he heard the change in his voice. He didn't expect that Li Li was still talking about the battle in front of him in the previous sentence, and in the latter sentence, he made a 360-degree turn and returned to the Jiangdong Army, and he also told Sun Ce in public that Sun Ce had secretly ordered Sun Jing and Sun Ben to be responsible for building ships.

Such a secret matter, even most of the generals and personal soldiers under Sun Ce's account did not know anything, how did Li Li know about it?

At this moment, Sun Ce's suspicions became greater, and his cold eyes swept over Zhang Hong, Lu Dai, Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and others in turn. He wanted to see who was eating inside and out, secretly colluding with the Xiliang Army, and actually revealing such important news to Li Wenchang, which was tantamount to betraying all the Jiangdong soldiers stranded in Jiangbei.

In fact, Sun Ce did secretly order his uncle Sun Jing to lead 5,000 soldiers to build ships by the river day and night to make sure that everything was perfect. The reason why the ship was secretly built was because all the ships that Sun Ce led his army to cross the river before were burned by a group of unidentified thieves. At the time of the incident, he also led the army to be stationed in Shouchun City, and he himself went to the governor's mansion to attend banquets all day long, accompanied Li Li to laugh and make a scene.

It wasn't until Sun Ce led his army to leave Shouchun in a hurry that he learned that the riverside dock with hundreds of warships was attacked at night. Hundreds of armor soldiers stationed at the dock were killed. There was not a single mouthful, and the ships were burned to the ground. And that's not all. The fishing boats and bamboo rafts of the fishermen along the river were also forcibly confiscated, so that a single intact boat board could not be found within 100 miles of the river. Moreover, some people let out words: "You can't go into the water, otherwise you will kill your whole family and destroy the whole house!" ”

What is surprising is that this gang of thieves still has a little conscience, and took advantage of the night to leave enough food and 500 yuan (five baht) for a family of five to eat at the door of the fishermen's house along the river. Every family has it, and no one is left behind. Since then, the people along the river do not fish or dry their nets. They closed their doors and kept silent. So much so that the Jiangdong soldiers who arrived after hearing the news couldn't ask what the gang of thieves looked like and where they came from, no matter how they asked. Where the accent.

But. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and some clues will always be revealed after a long time.

Later, it was learned that this incident was done by Lu Su and his party who secretly infiltrated the Lujiang River. Lu Su accompanied more than 1,000 strong warriors, all of them were vigorous, all of them had war horses, they moved quickly, came and went without a trace, and their whereabouts were secretive. Shadowy. Yes, in the territory of the Lujiang River occupied by the Jiangdong Army. Only this team was able to escape from the pursuit of the defenders along the way, and retreat after the sneak attack on the docks, and still have the strength to collect the boats along the river, burn them, and distribute food and money to the people.

This qiē undoubtedly pointed to the cavalry led by Lu Su, and only he left rations and a little compensation for the people after he led the army to burn the ships. If you are a general under the account of other princes, even if you have this ability, you will not leave any clues, let alone be merciful. However, Lu Su's move obviously had another deep meaning, after burning the dock and all the ships along the river, he deliberately left a flaw to let Sun Ce know that it was his doing, showing that he was not afraid of Sun Ce, which was tantamount to a blatant provocation.

But even if Sun Ce knew that these were all Lu Su's doings, he couldn't help him, and he didn't dare to go to Li Lixingshi to ask for the guilt. The reason is very simple, firstly, he has no evidence in his hand, and secondly, even if he has evidence in his hand, only Lu Suzhi does not admit it, he is still helpless; Third, even if Lu Su admitted it in person, and Li Li laughed at it, what could Sun Ce do to Lu Su, in the end, it was still over.

That's strength. In troubled times, it doesn't matter whether you are reasonable or not, what matters is whether you have strength or not. As long as the strength is strong enough, then there is everything; If you don't have this strength, you can't justify anything, you can only consider yourself unlucky, break your teeth and swallow blood into your stomach, and calm things down.

However, the burning of the warships of the Jiangdong Army was much more than that. After learning what happened, Sun Ce not only did not dare to go to Li Li to seek justice, but also did not dare to speak out, forcibly suppressed the matter, and strictly ordered all those in the know to keep their mouths shut, just as if the incident had not happened, and then quickly organized manpower and material resources to rebuild the ship. How so? This is because if this matter was really instructed by Li Li to Lu Su to do it, then this move was not just to burn the ship, it must have a deep intention, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Therefore, the destruction of the warships of the Jiangdong Army naturally could not be concealed from Li Li. However, when Sun Ce sent troops to attack the Qianshan camp, he secretly ordered Sun Jing to supervise the shipbuilding to be extremely secretive, how did Li Li know about it? You must know that after Sun Ce led the army to leave Shouchun, he put on a posture of defending the Lujiang River, and did not intend to lead the army back to Jiangdong, and secretly built ships just for the occasional need, in order to make a fool's plan.

In addition, in order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, Sun Ce deliberately concealed the destruction of the warship. Those who knew about this were limited to him, Zhang Hong, Gu Yong, Lu Dai and a few other people, as well as Sun Jing and Sun Ben, the two generals who went to the riverside to supervise the shipbuilding, and the 5,000 soldiers who built the ship. Other than that, no one else knows about it.

But now, Li Li knows it, and he says it in public without concealment.

For a while, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel suspicious, seeing that everyone was like a spy who secretly connected with Li Li, suspicious, worried, and suffering from gains and losses.

However, Sun Ce would never have thought that the reason why Li Li knew that Sun Ce's next army of soldiers and horses was building ships by the river was because he met Bu Qi who had returned from visiting friends when he went to Shu County to worship Old Lady Bu three days ago. At that time, Bu Qi inadvertently mentioned that his friend lived by the river, and in recent days, the Jiangdong Army stationed on the riverside was collecting timber everywhere, and forcibly snatched the door panel of Bu Qi's friend's house to build a boat.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. It was Bu Qi's words that let Li Li know that Sun Ce had begun to prepare for the future, and was building ships by the river day and night, so that he could cross the river and return to Jiangdong at any time.

At the same time, Li Li also learned from Buqi's mouth. Although the Jiangdong army worked day and night to build ships, there was a shortage of timber and the speed of shipbuilding was extremely slow, but only 50 ordinary ships were obtained in ten days, carrying more than 1,000 people to cross the river at a time, and the boats were not enough.

It was this news that made Li Li realize that this was a rare and good opportunity, and there was a lot to be done. So he set off early the next morning with his steps, rode a fast horse, and went straight to Anhui County. The infantry trainer, Xiao Qiao and Lu Lingqi stayed in Bufu for a while, and when the war in Huainan was completely over, Li Li sent someone to pick them up.

When Li Li and his entourage arrived in Anhui County, the 50,000 foot cavalry led by Dian Wei and Xu Huang had been waiting for a long time.

That's how it all began. A chance encounter not only allowed Li Li to gain another virtuous talent (Buqi), but also got an extremely important news, and then seized the opportunity to weaken Jiangdong's power again.

?????? At this moment, the tent of the Chinese military commander was quiet, so quiet that everyone in the tent could hear each other's heartbeats, as well as the whispered snort that held their breath.

Seeing the situation of everyone holding their breath and silencing, Li Li tasted his tea without hurrying, smiling silently, but in his heart he was thinking about whether the idea that had arisen before was possible to be realized, and how sure he was.

In addition, he was a little glad in his heart, before he instructed Shi A to lead the Eagle Guard Warriors (i.e., the dead soldiers) to burn down the riverside dock of the Jiangdong Army, in fact, he didn't have a deeper intention, but he did it in the spirit of adding to Sun Ce's blockage. As long as you encounter an opportunity, you can't miss it, no matter what, you have to give Sun Ce a cold shot, even if you can't kill him, it will make him hurt for a while. After all, striking an opponent is the same as protecting yourself!

I never expected it, and it was crooked. Now the warship crossing the river has become Sun Ce's weakness, which is equivalent to choking the neck of Sun Ce and his Jiangdong army, so that Li Li has every opportunity and ability to annihilate Sun Ce and the Jiangdong army in Jiangbei, and he will finish his work in one battle.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li couldn't help laughing: "Hehehe, what's wrong with you, don't be nervous, the sky can't fall!" ”

Slightly restrained his laughter, Li Li continued: "Bofu's foundation is in Jiangdong, it's normal to build a warship, you don't need to hide it, why can't you say it to people?" The reason why I asked this question is to ask how the shipbuilding is progressing and whether there are any difficulties. If there is a problem, even if Bo Fu speaks out, maybe I can still help Bo Fu. This is by no means a lie, although my Xiliang Army is a land war horse, not accustomed to water, but the victory lies in the strength of the people, even if the shipbuilding is not good, it can still contribute! Who made our two armies now one family! ”

Sun Ce's face changed suddenly after hearing this, not only did he not relax his mind, but his nerves tightened, and he took out twelve points of caution and paid close attention to the changes in Li Li's expression.

This is because he and Li Li have been together for a long time. During the Si Li War, he confronted Li Li for ten months, and recently had close contact for more than a month, adding up to nearly a year. However, the longer he got along with Li Li, the more uncertain Sun Ce's heart became, and the more unpredictable Li Li's heart and temper became, and then he became more and more afraid of Li Li.

Now, Sun Ce has come to his senses. Li Li is a full smiling tiger, the brighter he smiles, the more ruthless he is; The more gentle the tone, the more his opponent will suffer. These are all bloody lessons, prompting Sun Ce to summarize the results. It was because he was suddenly alert when he heard Li Li's words again at this moment, and felt that Li Li would definitely open his mouth this time and be ruthless to him Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, I heard that you have been happy with your son recently, congratulations!"

"Ahh What do you want to do, do you want my son to be a hostage? Don't! At first hearing Li Li's words, Sun Ce stood up with a "pout", glared at Li Li with an iron face, and his whole body was tense, like a sharp arrow with a bow on the string, as if he was ready to rush up and fight with Li Li at any time.
