During the war, the so-called lack of a good banquet between the princes was not a joke.

Lin Li followed Chen Gong and the others to the backyard, stroking his beard with his chin with his right hand, and sighed secretly:

I think back then, in the face of the tens of thousands of troops outside Wancheng, I deceived Liu Pan and others into going to the Hongmen banquet on the grounds of "high-grade Western Regions playthings", and they are here... Well, I don't know how to be rectified by Jia Xu.

The house is not big, after entering and leaving, the group entered a blue brick house*** The maids with black crockpots and saucers kept coming and going, and a strong aroma came out.

Lin Li, Shi A, Zang Ba, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Lu Lingqi, a group of seven people have not known the taste of food for a long time, and when they smelled this aroma, they couldn't help but roll their throats, swallowed their saliva, and then walked in quickly.

...

High-energy warning ahead, Eastern Han Dynasty cuisine said? Next, let's talk.

The first thing that catches the eye is the green and eye-catching melons, fruits and vegetables, pink and white attractive lotus root slices and taro dices leaning against the small slices of cut cucumbers, dripping on them, as if there are a few sesame seeds. Pick up a piece and dip it in the thick sauce next to it and put it in your mouth, it is fresh and delicious.

Further alongside, in a crockpot with the strongest aroma, a smooth and oily chicken is soaked in a translucent soup, and from the mouth of the can, the seasoning ingredients sinking at the bottom can be distinguished. This is served as you tear the chicken and take a sip and it is warm to the heart.

Then to the side, roll into a chrysanthemum-like dough wrapped into the vegetable filling, shaped like a pomegranate, the bottom is like a coin, decorated with a small amount of minced meat, the color is like jade, look at it makes people move their fingers, gently bite a bite, the skin will be broken a little, eat the vegetable puree made of shrimp, leeks and eggs, refreshing and moist. After eating, the mouth is still full of the aroma of shrimp, which is really fragrant.

...

At the moment of food, who can still hold it, sat down after a few polite words, and began to gobble up.

Chen Gong raised his glass several times, looked at Lin Li and stopped, but saw that he was chewing chicken in his mouth, although he raised the wine, he didn't look embarrassed, and obviously didn't have the heart to open his mouth to speak, so he had to swallow his words after drinking in embarrassment, and lowered his head to deal with the food.

After a few hearty moments, Chen Gong finally found an opportunity to speak, and coughed lightly:

"Although Lin Zhonglang is a new visit, but the first turmoil in Xiapi, even if we have the heart to organize the banquet, but we have more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Lin Li shook his head and said:

"The public station has also said it. This is a troubled time, I don't know how many people in Kyushu are short of food and clothing, and we can have wine and meat into the throat, fortunately. ”

Chen Gong said embarrassedly:

"Lin Gong is really worried about the country and the people, and the benevolent lord is also, no wonder he can have today's trend."

Zhang Liaodao:

"The military advisor said it bluntly."

Chen Gong Dao:

"That being the case, I have something to ask for, and I ask Lin Gong to agree."

Lin Li's secret drama came, and he said without moving:

"I am waiting to sit at the same table today, that is, I am close, and the public platform said bluntly, as long as I can do my best, I will do my best."

When Chen Gong heard this, he said happily:

"For Lin Gong, this matter is just a gesture. Lin Gong came from Chang'an to help, it can be seen that goodwill, even so, our army is willing to form an alliance with Lin Gong, from now on you and I advance and retreat together, in this troubled era to attack and defend and help each other, I don't know what Lin Gong you want? ”

Lin Li looked surprised when he heard this, and hesitated:

"It turned out to be an alliance. You're all important ministers, so I'll be blunt. Earlier today, I had been in the city with my senior brother for a week, and Xiapi was originally rich, with abundant soldiers and food, and excellent military horses, but as far as I know, now you have only 1,000 Taishan soldiers left at your disposal, and the dilapidated scene in the middle is difficult to sustain even if you want to recruit troops and horses. ”

Lin Li looked left and right, and then said,

"Although your army resisted the attack of the Cao-Liu Alliance, it was only a miserable victory. Moreover, Yuan Shu, who was originally available for Xiapi as reinforcements, has been destroyed, as long as Liu Bei stabilizes the situation in Runan and raises troops to attack again, I'm afraid... You have no reason. ”

Chen Gong smiled:

"We know the current situation. With the existing strength of our army alone, it is indeed difficult to resist Liu Bei's soldiers, but if Lin Gong and us form an alliance and use Chang'an's million-strong army, why not be afraid of little Liu Xuande. ”

Lin Li sighed:

"Chang'an and Xiapi are separated from the east and west, and the distance is not to mention, and it has to pass through Cao Cao's territory in the middle. It is already difficult for me and my senior brother to come to Xiapi to help each other this time, not to mention that the army is pulling, Cao Cao will definitely not sit idly by, and then our army will be blocked by Cao Cao, and it will be difficult to act. ”

Lin Li Road:

"Yu private, I admired your martial arts earlier, so I came thousands of miles to do my best. But as far as the public is concerned, since I am the lord of an army and have jurisdiction over six counties, I should also think about the life and death of my soldiers under my account, how can I do such an unwise thing out of personal feelings. ”

Chen Gong was silent and said:

"Lin Gong's intentions are still unwilling to be allies with us. In any case, today, our army is really high in proposing an alliance. ”

Lin Li said embarrassedly:

"If you don't want to, you can't."

On the side, Lu Lingqi was already on fire when she heard Lin Li say that it was difficult to stop Liu Bei, and at this time she said:

"How dare you look down on me so much! What about Liu Bei, wasn't he still defeated by my father before! If he dares to come again, we'll beat him again!" ”

This brought a good start, and even Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had already looked at it with unkind faces.

Lin Li secretly said that it was not good, but he knew that if he showed weakness at this time, it would be difficult to regain the right to speak, so he said coldly:

"Defeat Liu Bei again? He now has 30,000 people under his account, so what can he defeat with the broken walls of Xia Pi and the remnants of the army inside? Or do you really think that you have the ability to be ten thousand enemies? ”

Lu Lingqi said angrily:

"You know what! My father was the enemy of all people! ”

Lin Li smiled, and said in his heart If he is now at the fiftyth level of Feng Wenhou, holding the god and ghost Fang Tianhalberd in his hand, and riding a white jade unicorn, he really has the ability to be ten thousand enemies, but unfortunately this is the world of the Three Kingdoms, and the picture of one enemy and ten thousand people will never appear.

Therefore, Lin Li just shook his head slightly and ignored her.

The situation was slightly stiff, and Zang Ba waved his hand and said:

"Today, we sat down to negotiate and deal with Liu Bei, how could we fight by ourselves first. Lin Gong was able to come, and his sincerity was obvious, so it was better to say that there was any way to help our army overcome the immediate difficulties. ”

Lin Li said lazily:

"There is a way, I'm afraid that Miss Lu won't agree."

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, and he said earnestly:

"Lin Gong has an idea, so he might as well say it directly."

Lin Li smiled and said:

"As I said earlier, it is no longer possible for Xiapi to resist any attack. But as you all know, I defeated Ma Teng in Chang'an a few years ago and included all the three counties of Xiliang. However, the Xiliang land is vast and sparsely populated, although I have a clear grasp of this place, but there is a lack of generals to sit in the town, and there is also a place where the strength has not been caught, and on the side of Wuwei, there are still Qiang people who are troubled. Therefore, you might as well go back to Chang'an with me first, and then set up a formation of Wuwei, rest and recuperate in Xiliang, and wait for the future to grow your wings, and then raise your troops to fight back. Of course, I also have selfish intentions in this idea, that is, I want to use your power to strangle the Qiang people and maintain the stability of Xiliang. ”

Lin Li's words, everyone was shocked.

Lu Lingqi hurriedly said:

"According to your meaning, didn't we become your subordinates in the past, and you, didn't you take advantage of the fire to rob?"

Lin Li snickered, and said in his heart that although this girl looks reckless, her comprehension ability is still good.

But if he dares to say this, he is afraid that he will be beaten to death by the angry Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, so he defended:

"How can Miss Lu misinterpret my kindness so much, if you go to Xiliang, you can recruit troops and horses, recuperate, and I can also solve the worries of the Qiang people, this is a win-win situation for you and me, how can I take advantage of the fire to rob?"

It's a pity that Lin Li's careful thinking is really a sight to see through to all the people here, Gao Shun said coldly:

"Such an alliance, forgive me for disagreeing, Lin Gong should go back to Chang'an. If Liu Bei really fights in the future, our army will come to cover the water and cover the earth, and Lin Gong will not worry about it. ”

Chen Gong knew that if he really sent this great god away now, Lin Lizi was an old god, and no one could stop him from living, but they would inevitably die.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Gong said:

"Lin Gong's move is really difficult for some strong people, not to mention that the stakes are very high, and I can't wait to be the master, so it is better to ask Lin Gong to go back and rest first, and I will ask the lord for his opinion in a few days, and then discuss with Lin Gong."

Lin Li shook his head and said:

"It has been a few months since I left Chang'an, and I am afraid that there is a backlog of many things to deal with in the army. Besides, I have seen your heroic posture, and I have fulfilled my wish. Therefore, I have made up my mind that I will leave for my home tomorrow, and if you are interested in ally, it is better to give an answer earlier. ”

What he said was a needle, a battle that had actually been lost, but he wanted to talk about heroics, which made Zhang Liao's face darker and darker, and Lu Lingqi was already so angry that she couldn't wait to poke him to death with a halberd.

Chen Gong's face was difficult, and he was about to speak, when a weak but undiminished domineering voice came from the door,

"The military advisor doesn't have to be entangled, what to do, it's all up to you."

Lu Bu!

Lin Li was startled, and said in his heart that this guy hadn't just come out of a near-death state, and he should be lying down to recuperate.

Lu Bu's burly body stood up straight and slowly walked in, and behind him, a beautiful face looked at him worriedly, it was Diao Chan.

"Lord/Father!"

When a few people saw Lu Bu coming, they suddenly felt like a backbone.

Lin Li stood up and said with a smile:

"Long Yang Fei will be majestic, and when I see it today, it is really imposing, especially tigers and wolves."

Lu Bu arched his hand and said:

"Lin Zhonglang is polite, Jun Zhixiong has already heard about it."

He raised his eyebrows and said to Chen Gong:

"What Gong Lin said, I happened to hear, military advisor, between you, what should we do?"

Chen Gong looked at the man in front of him who trusted him, and said astringently:

"It is true that if our army still stays in Xiapi, it is only for the sake of others, and if we go to Chang'an... I'm afraid..."

Lu Bu frowned and said:

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Chen Gong glanced at Lin Li, saw him smiling, and said in his heart This smiling tiger is different from the city and land plotted by Liu Bei and Cao Cao, he is the one who wants us.

Seeing that he was speechless, Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said:

"You and I live and die together, this matter might as well be decided by voting. In this way, who agrees to go to Chang'an with Lin Zhonglang? ”

The crowd was silent.

Lu Buqi said:

"Then who agrees to stay in Xiapi?"

Only Lu Lingqi stood up.

Lu Bu smiled:

"Then what do you say?"

Lu Lingqi pointed to Lin Lidao:

"Do you dare to fight me, and if I win, you will agree to form an alliance and send troops to help!"

Lin Li was holding a cup and thinking about the possibility of abducting these people, and when he heard this, he almost choked to death with a mouthful of water, and said with a strange face:

"Miss, let's not talk about anything else, I'm a dignified seven-foot man, competing with you and a woman, even if I win, people say that I can't win."

Lu Bu smiled and said:

"Lin Gong, don't worry, if you can win Lingqi, no one will dare to say anything about you."

Lin Li felt bitter in his heart, this is not the point, hey... With my strength in my early seventies, how can I go head-to-head with this second-generation Lu who has more than 90 armed forces.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, Lin Li's heart moved, and he said to Lu Lingqi:

"In that case, what can I say if I win?"

Lu Erdai smiled confidently and said:

"You can't beat me. But it's okay, if you win, we'll go to Chang'an with you. ”

Lin Li shook his head and said:

"I'm too bad for this condition."

Lu Lingqi felt that she had the chance to win, and said anxiously when she heard this:

"And what else do you want?"

Lin Li looked at her different beautiful appearance and blurted out:

"Marry me."
