"Bofu, I heard that you have been happy to have a noble son recently, so I can congratulate you!"

"Ah! What do you want to do? Do you want my son to be a hostage? Don't think about it!" After hearing Li Li's words, Sun Ce rose up with a "scarlet" sound, clenched his left hand into a fist, held the sword in his right hand, and glared at Li Li angrily.* At this moment, his whole body was tense, like a sharp arrow with a bow, as if he was ready to rush up to fight Li Li at any time.

Seeing Sun Ce staring at him angrily, Li Li smiled indifferently and waved his hand gently, "Don't be anxious, don't be impatient. I heard that my nephew is just half a year old now and is still a hungry child. What do I want him to do?

Although Li did not dare to claim to be a gentleman, he was not so despicable. Such a thing of holding a half-year-old child as a proton will never happen to me, Li Li. There is no doubt that Li hates this deeply and disdains to do it!"

After hearing this, Sun Ce suddenly breathed a long sigh and his tense figure relaxed slightly, but he did not dare to relax his vigilance and still stared at Li Li straight.

He knew very well that Li Li had not finished his words, and there was still a text, and the next words were the most critical. Whether Sun Ce and the more than 20,000 Jiangdong soldiers under his sect could escape this disaster is in the following text.

However, Li Li's next words made Sun Ce miscalculate again, or he did not hear what he expected, but was disturbed by Li Li's sudden question.

"I wonder if Bo Fu still remembers the promise under Dongyuan City four years ago. Should he fulfill his promise now?"

"Well? The agreement between Dongyuan City, four years ago?" Sun Ce responded in shock, pondering while frowned. It seemed to be recalling whether he had an agreement with Li Li in the past, and why he had no impression of him.

Did Sun Ce really forget the appointment in Dongyuan City?

No, even if Li Li forgot, he and Sun Ce would never forget it. But he really wanted to forget it. He forced himself to forget that countless times of the city alliance, and it would be better not to mention it again in his life. Helplessly, he still clearly remembers the scene at that time, because that scene has always appeared in his mind over the years, and it cannot be dispelled and lingered, like a shadow that follows him. It always lingers in his heart.

Four years ago in the winter, under Dongyuan City:

"I beg the general to fulfill his promise and entrust me to the prefect of Yuzhang. I will inherit the title of Marquis of Wucheng, my father!"

"I can promise you that everything will be as you wish, and I will give you an edict. But Li said first. If you still cannot step out of Jiangdong and expand your territory in Jiangbei within ten years, when our army reaches the Yangtze River, I hope you can lead the people to surrender to me. Don't resist unnecessary things, so as not to get rid of the devastation of the creatures and blood stain the Yangtze River!"

"Okay, according to the general's words. From today on, you and I will swear with a swearing for ten years. If you can hit the Yangtze River within a time limit, I, Sun Ce, will be willing to bow down and surrender; if you can't, the vow will be invalid. The next day, you and I will meet on the battlefield. Let's decide again!"

"Quick up as a swear!"

"Ba, bha, bha!"

The past is like smoke. Sun Ce originally thought that these memories had turned into dust and were not in the vicissitudes of the world. He did not expect that it would be presented to him again after four years.

In the battle of Dongyuan City, Sun Ce was severely injured by Ma Chao and almost died on the spot. At the critical moment of life and death, Ma Chao showed mercy. Then Li Lice left the city. Not only did he not make things difficult for him, he agreed to his request, granted the emperor's edict, and made a ten-year agreement with him. This is the "five oath" that has spread all over the world in recent years, also known as the "Dongyuan City Agreement".

Afterwards, Sun Ce realized that it was Zhou Yu who secretly helped him all this. When Zhou Yu joined Li Li's command, he had an agreement with Li Li that he would not be enemies with Sun Ce in his lifetime. If Sun Ce fell into Li Li's hands one day, I hope Li Li would be able to kill him, and Li Li agreed.

Because of this, in the battle of Dongyuan City, Li Li had the opportunity to kill Sun Ce, but was forced to make an agreement with Zhou Yu and his own reputation and finally showed mercy. Otherwise, Sun Ce might have been dead for a long time, so how could he achieve today?

However, it was Zhou Yu and Li Li’s gentleman’s agreement that invisibly made Li Li’s reputation of doing what he said and making a promise. So much money was transformed from the initial resolute resistance of the Western Liang army to relying on Li Li. As long as Li Li could give them a promise, they would spend a lot of money without frowning and willing to donate generously. This was how Luoyang City was rebuilt. From the beginning to the end, Li Li never paid a 5-zhu coin and built a huge city. Even today, there is a saying: The century-old emperor never deserves the promise of Wuhou. From this, it can be seen that Li Li is now truly a golden word, a word will do what he says, and a good thing he does, and the name of integrity is already well-known.

However, it was too heavy for Sun Ce to swear with Li Li at the foot of Dongyuan City.

The ten-year agreement in the past has only been four years, but Li Li has led his army to the north bank of the Yangtze River. At this moment, Sun Ce was once again trapped in the siege of the Western Liang army and became a piece of meat on Li Li's chopping board.

The past is still in front of you, and today it will happen again. How can Sun Ce feel about it? How should he answer?

In addition, Sun Ce knew clearly that Li Li might be able to take into account the agreement with Zhou Yu and show mercy to Sun Ce; but four years later, Li Li may not be able to think of the agreement in the past and open the other side again. This is what is called the present is not the same as before. The same time cannot be said in the same way.

When Zhou Yu was under Li Li's command, Li Li's ruled the prefectures and counties were limited to the two prefectures of Xiliang. Everything was still in the early stages of development. It was just when he was eager to seek talents and urgently needed people. But now, Li Li's command was full of talents, with generals like clouds and wise talents like rain. He had more than 500,000 troops, occupying half of the Han Dynasty. His territory started from Liaodong in the east, to Xueyuan in the west, to Mobei in the north, and to the Yangtze River in the south, and there was no one in the world that was right.

So will Li Li still take into account the agreement with Zhou Yu in the past? If he still remembered it in his heart, it would not be a virtue, but a foolish person, because he was not an ordinary person, but a hero in troubled times that was intimidating the world. What's more, he had hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command, and he represented no longer himself, but hundreds of thousands of troops and tens of millions of people following him. If he was still concerned about his own agreement at this time and ignored the army under his command and the people under his command, wouldn't it be heartbreaking and cold?

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt mixed feelings and mixed emotions.

The reason why he swore a sworn with Li Li back then was because Li Li was trapped in the siege of the Allied Army of the Central Plains. The situation was critical and the day was in danger. He did not expect that the result of the Sili War was Li Li's victory, and the Allied Army of the Princes was defeated and fled in a hurry. For this reason, Sun Ce felt deeply guilty afterwards and regarded the Alliance of Dongyuan City as the greatest shame in his life. He never mentioned the matter of the alliance, and deliberately put it behind his head and put it on the shelf, and never wanted to mention it again in his life.

But now this matter has been told in public again, and it comes from the mouth of Li Lizhi, the party who signed the alliance, which is equivalent to collecting debts in person!

Now that things have come to this point, Sun Ce has no choice but to retreat. Even if he denies it, it will be in vain. How can anyone who knows everything in the world be denied?

"The former covenant was naturally counted, but Sun might not have the power to fight at this time? Therefore, it is too early to express his covenant. If it is true that it is time to fulfill his promise, how could I, Sun Ce, be an eight-foot man, speak without trust!" In front of everyone, Sun Ce froze his neck and said in a urn.

As soon as these words came out, the Jiangdong generals present at the tent changed their faces, and they all lowered their heads, looked ashamed, and were ashamed to see others, but they felt relieved and felt relieved. Indeed, although Sun Ce kept saying that he would never regret it, it was actually denying it in public, but what Sun Ce said was the reply that Jiangdong generals were eager to hear. Otherwise, once Sun Ce lets go, what would the generals under his tent do?

Although Sun Ce made shirks, he and the generals under his tent knew that the so-called power of a battle was actually just a dying struggle, and he could not defeat the Xiliang army under Li Li. At present, Sun Ce still had more than 27,000 troops, of which 5,000 troops were built by the river, and 3,000 troops were temporarily stationed in the county town of Wan County. There were 9,000 defenders in each county of Lujiang, and the remaining 10,000 troops were in Qianshan camp. Therefore, fighting with the Xiliang army with these troops was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs and killing a dead end.

"Is that?" Just as Sun Ce slowly sat down, Li Li pondered in a bad tone, and then said with a solemn expression: "Since that's the case, it's useless to talk more, I'll see you on the battlefield." At this point, Li Li suddenly stopped speaking, looked up at Sun Ce and Jiangdong generals with a panic look. Then he changed his tone and said with a gentle tone: "It is said that Bo Fu has several younger brothers, his second brother Sun Quan is sixteen years old, he has grown up, and he has been smart since childhood, hardworking and studious. My Chang'an Imperial College is the first institution of the Han Dynasty. It is a good place to ask his younger brother Sun Quan to study. He asked him to come to see me within five days, and then follow me to Chang'an, and you can return to Jiangdong on the day of his studies!"

"This" Sun Ce looked up when he heard the sound, looked at Li Li in surprise, and said weakly: "The leader just said he was disdainful of the proton, but why bother to force others to do this now?"

Before Sun Ce finished speaking, Li Li stood up and said unquestionably: "I have decided, this matter is settled. Within five days, bring Sun Quan to me, otherwise you will be buried here forever! It will be dispersed!" With a wave of his sleeves, Li Li turned around and left the generals of Jiangdong with different expressions, leaving each other looking at each other, while the generals of Xiliang left the generals one after another with doubts.

"Oh!" With a long sigh, Sun Ce looked at the inner room door behind the tent with anger. Then he struggled to get up with difficulty, his steps were extremely heavy, and he slowly walked out of the tent
