It didn't take five days, on the day when I received the message from Fei Ge, Cao Cao led a large army through Yanzhou East County, and rushed to Liyang Camp at night.

When Cao Cao led his army to the camp, there was still one day before the five-day deadline mentioned in Li Li's letter.

He actually led his army to arrive in advance.

After hearing the news, Li Li immediately led his generals out of the tent to greet him.

Not long after, Li Li and Cao Cao finally met fifty steps in front of the Central Army Commander's tent.

This was the first time they met, and they were reunited as allies.

Before this, Li Li and Cao Cao had met several times, but without exception, they were on a battlefield hundreds of steps apart, facing each other far away, and had never had close contact, let alone face-to-face meetings.

However, after several years, the two met again, and this time it was a real and direct conversation.

"Cao Cao is here to pay homage to the general!"

"The last general will meet the leader——!"

The moment Cao Cao, who was leading the army into the camp, saw Li Li, he immediately flew off his horse and led a group of generals to come forward and bow to pay homage.

"Brother Meng De, why should you be so kind? Please get up quickly!"

As soon as Cao Cao bowed his knees, Li Li reached out to support him, and smiled warmly on his face, "Brother Meng De is old, how dare Wenchang receive such a great gift from his brother?"

After helping Cao Cao up, Li Li waved his hand and laughed loudly: "All the generals are exempted from the gifts, get up!"

"General Xie (leader)!"

After seeing Cao Cao get up, the generals behind him bowed and thanked him. Seeing this, Li Li nodded frequently with his eyebrows and eyes. Then he pulled Cao Cao and said with a laugh: "Meng De and the generals are tired all the way, please rest in the tent. For many years, we have rarely been together. Today we must drink happily and not be drunk!"

"It's good, and the attack on Yuan Shao is not a matter of overnight success. Cao thanked the general first on behalf of the soldiers under the tent!" Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, obviously thinking that the war was about to be imminent, but seeing that Li Li sincerely invited him, it was difficult to refuse his affection, so he bowed to thank him.

"That's it." Li Li nodded and smiled, pulling Cao Cao side by side. He said as he walked, "Now, Yuan Benchu ​​has become a turtle in a jar, and he is fighting for trapped beasts. It's not worth worrying. You and I have been having a long time together, so how can we not have a good conversation when we meet?"

Seeing that Li Li was so enthusiastic, Cao Cao didn't say much. He deliberately lag behind half a step when he walked side by side with Li Li, and his etiquette was impeccable.

The two lords walked first, and their close guard commanders Li Zhi and Cao Chun followed closely, followed by two former friends Guo Jia and Xun Yu, walking together, and whispered while walking. Then, Zhou Yu, Gongsun Zan, Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Gao Shun, Ke Bineng and other generals accompanied Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, Le Jin and other Cao army generals followed behind and slowly walked into the commander's tent.

Although the generals of the two armies met for the first time, they were not unfamiliar with each other. In previous battles, they had known each other for a long time, and this time they gathered together as friendly troops. Therefore, they both seemed very polite. They were as invincible as old friends meeting each other and had a happy conversation.

This is the most strange and very common phenomenon nowadays. The moment before, the princes became powerful and fought hard, and they fought each other to the death; the next moment, perhaps the generals of the two armies would sit together and drink and greet each other as guests. This seemingly incongruent phenomenon frequently appears and is common, and it truly perfectly interprets a truth: there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests.

When there is a conflict of interest between the two sides, they will inevitably fight and fight with their lives, either you die or I die. However, when the interests of both sides are consistent, they reconcile and get together, chatting and laughing, as if nothing has happened.

Everything is caused by interests, and interests are invincible.

In the central army's tent, the guests and guests sat down. The banquet started at the commander's tent. The maids waiting beside him quickly placed wine and meat, then bowed and stood beside him, and went forward to pour wine from time to time, waiting for the service at any time.

"Brother Meng De led a large army to the camp and join forces to meet the alliance. Li was very moved. In this attack on Yuan Shao, your and my troops will join forces to fight the enemy. They will surely succeed. Please raise your wine bottles, and I will drink this cup together, please!"

On the steps of the big tent, Li Li stood up and raised his glass to invite him. Nearly a hundred generals of the two armies raised their glasses to drink together. Then, Cao Cao returned to Li Li and Xiliang generals on behalf of the generals under the tent, thus opening the banquet.

After the commanders of the two armies toast each other, the military advisors and generals toast each other, cheering and drinking, and drinking, making it very lively.

In the middle of the banquet, sixteen dancers walked into the tent in a row, and the music started to sound, and the zither and sang the throne. The dancers flew over long sleeves and danced gracefully, with graceful figures and graceful dances. They were pleasing to the eye when they saw them. If they were not drunk, they would be drunk by themselves.

These sixteen dancers were carefully selected beautiful girls. They all had beautiful appearances, delicate figures, and superb dancing skills. They were the most rare thing. The sixteen dancers had similar figures, similar figures, almost identical, charming and charming, and had thousands of charm in every move. The thin silk skirt wrapped around the white and plump body, swaying gently with the sound of the piano and zither, and their slender waists seemed soft and boneless, and their hips were gently swung like a boat wandering on the quiet lake, causing layers of ripples, which was very seductive.

For a moment, the generals of the tent were singing and dancing, and the wine and the beautiful wine were so beautiful that the generals under the tent were fascinated by the beautiful ladies in front of him. Not only did the generals of Cao's army be moved by the beautiful ladies in front of him, but the Adam's apple was squirming and swallowing saliva, so they had to use alcohol to hide their disobedience. Even the generals of Xiliang opened their eyes wide, and they all saw that their index fingers were thirsty, and they could only drink to quench their thirst, trying their best to suppress the hot and urgent ** in their hearts.

At this moment, there were only a handful of people who could really ignore the tent and keep a normal mind. Li Li, who was sitting in the position of commander, was one of them, and Cao Cao was one, but his eyes were inadvertently showing greed and covetousness, but he covered it up very well. If he didn't pay attention to it, it would be difficult to find out. In addition to the two of them, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Gao Shun, Cao Ren, Li Zhi and Cao Chun who were under the tent also had clear eyes, as if they were not disturbed by beauty and were calm.

In fact, with Guo Jia's romantic nature and beauty, it is difficult for him to sit still and keep his heart calm. However, his mind is not on the dancer dancing in front of him, but deliberately observing the changes in expressions of Li Li and Cao Cao. Diverting attention is undoubtedly a good way to resist temptation, and Guo Jia is like this. At the same time, he vaguely felt that Li Li's arrangement today had other profound meanings, as if he was deliberately testing the will of the generals of Cao's army.

It is true that this kind of singing and dancing was rare before. At previous celebration banquets, Li Li would occasionally arrange some beautiful girls to dance to cheer them up, but the dancers would not wear so revealingly, nor would they deliberately show charming and seductiveness. Because of this, the generals of Xiliang are now confused by the beautiful girls who deliberately show off their charm. They are as hungry as hungry wolf and lose their composure in public. Fortunately, their performance is reasonable. If they are not tempted, how could the generals of Cao's army become ugly?

After the banquet, the generals of the two armies left the general's tent one after another.

Withdrawing the banquet and changing into fragrant tea. There were only more than ten people left in the tent of the coach, but they were all the main figures who could determine the fate of the two armies.

Two groups of people sat opposite each other. On the left are Li Li, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, Huan Fei, Gao Shun, Xu Chu and Li Zhi, and on the right are Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, Le Jin and Cao Chun.

Li Li picked up the teacup and signaled Cao Cao to drink tea on the opposite side, then took a sip of tea, and smiled and said, "For two years since the establishment of the Alliance against Yuan, Brother Meng De led his army to restrain Yuan Shao, so Li was able to lead his army to Youzhou in the east and Yuan Shu in the south, without any disadvantages. Li was very grateful and felt a lot. If Meng De could work with me to pacify the world, it would be like an arm to use his fingers, and he would achieve twice the result with half the effort. Maybe ten years, oh no, maybe you can clear the world within five years and give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous era. I wonder if Brother Meng De believed it?"

Cao Cao looked slightly surprised, as if he did not expect Li Li to not mention how to defeat Yuan Shao, but instead spoke to test him, and his words were full of recruitment. Moreover, Li Li praised him very highly, and seemed to value him very much, even valued him, as if he was trying to surrender to him in a tone of equalizing the world.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao said respectfully: "The general is too loving, and Cao is ashamed of taking responsibility. Now the general has occupied half of the country, and all the princes in the world follow the general's leader, and Cao is the same. This time, Cao led his army to plan major events with the general and fight against the rebels. If the general is sent, Cao and the soldiers under the tent will obey and follow them, and will never shirk responsibility!" Cao Cao said to others, easily changed the topic and did not give a positive reply. However, he made his position frankly and firmly obeyed Li Li's orders to show his sincerity to form an alliance with each other.

Li Li nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I never doubt Brother Meng De's sincerity in leading the army to join forces, but the grudges between you and me have been deeply rooted in the past. I believe Brother Meng De still has never let go and forget them yet, right?"

Perhaps he had expected Li Li to have this question, Cao Cao's expression changed slightly after hearing this, frowned and thought for a moment, and then said calmly: "As the general said, Cao did not forget the past rift between you and me. However, these are all personal feelings and should not be confused with what you and me are planning. On that day, you and I were in a hostile force, and fighting on the battlefield would inevitably be damaged; if you and me were in a different place, Cao would not show mercy. In other words, today, not only are you and me deeply resentful, but who among the princes has no grudges?

But once and forth, the deceased has passed away, and the living must continue to move on and live well. Therefore, Cao is willing to let go of his past grudges with the general, unite with sincerity and resist the rebels together. I wonder what the general wants?"

Li Li stared at Cao Cao with a fiery look, but Cao Cao did not retreat, and looked at Li Li with bright eyes. After a while, the two laughed loudly: "Hahaha."

Is this the so-called meeting and laughing to eliminate grudges?
