Chapter 165 [Take off your boots, and grow branches at the festival]

————————————

After being scolded by Li Li mercilessly, Liu Zhang's face turned red and said in anger: "Li Wenchang, is it that you came here to humiliate me in public?"

Li Li shook his head slightly and said disapprovingly: "Team to humiliate you? You are so careless. I don't have so much time, nor do I have this leisure, nor do I have the hobby of ridicule others.&{}..{}"

After hearing this, Liu Zhang's face became more and more angry, and he shouted with a blushing face: "Since that's the case, you don't need to evade others. You should know what this state wants to know. Just tell me what you rely on and dare to come to the inner hall of our prefecture alone?" It is obvious that Liu Zhang, who has always been very respectful of his face, was completely angered by Li Li, so that he had no time to care about his own situation, and no longer cared about his gentleness and etiquette as a scholar, and he was quite stunning to go barefoot with his sleeves.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Zhang has always paid attention to cultivation, has a high opinion of himself, and has relied on his identity as a noble Han emperor, and he will not easily get angry, nor will he speak badly with a blushing face and thick neck. This is the first time in the first place, and it is an exception.

It can be seen that Li Li's words had indeed hit him with pain, so that he jumped up suddenly and became furious. If he hadn't been a little self-aware and knew that he could not beat Li Li, he would probably fight directly and fight Li Li with bare hands. Fortunately, he was not overwhelmed by anger, otherwise he would suffer a great loss. If he really fought with Li Li, Li Li would just shake his hands at will and beat him to the ground for teeth; even if he didn't die, it would be disfigured.

It is no exaggeration to say that the skill of fist and foot is not Li Li's opponent, and he will die as much as he comes. No matter how many he gets, it will be useless. It is not a contest of the same level at all. There is no comparison at all. Therefore, Liu Zhang and Li Li's action is equivalent to sending him to the door to seek death, and he is simply tired of living. Therefore, even if he is so angry that his seven orifices are smoked, his five internal organs are fired, and his six internal organs are shifted, he dare not provoke Li Li. He can only be a verbal battle and a verbal advantage.

Li Li didn't plan to do anything to him at all, otherwise the problem could be solved by lifting his hands and falling. Why bother with his lips and tongue?

The most important thing is that Liu Zhang represents not only himself, but also behind him are hundreds of Yizhou civil and military officials, thousands of county officials, more than 100,000 Yizhou soldiers, and millions of Yizhou people. These are not problems that can be solved by swords. They also need to be tempted to persuade Liu Zhang to retreat as much as possible, so as to make the wise decision that Li Li hopes to see.

Seeing Liu Zhang's angry look, Li Li smiled faintly unmoved, then picked up the teacup and sipped the tea. He listened casually to the storm outside the door, looking calm and leisurely.

However, Li Li's move could only be hidden from Liu Zhang who was sulking. However, it could not be hidden from Zhang Song, Wu Yi and Dong He who were listening quietly in the hall. Seeing Li Li's eyes glancing outside the closed door, their first feeling was that Li Li seemed to be waiting for something, or there were reinforcements from Li Li's tent outside the door. But they had not arrived yet.

At this moment, Dong He looked very anxious. He looked straight at Liu Zhang in the hall, hoping that Liu Zhang could see his gesture in time and quickly leave Li Li. As long as Liu Zhang and Li Li distanced from Li Li, Dong He would immediately shout and call the soldiers outside the door to enter and capture and kill Li Li and Wu Yi, even if they die for this, they would do whatever they could.

This is Dong He's character and perseverance. Although he and Li Li were very close to each other and felt like they were right at first sight, as a minister under Liu Zhang's tent, he would never abandon Liu Zhang and instead surrender to Li Li's command. No matter how Liu Zhang treated him, he always looked to Liu Zhang's side. This is the thing he upholds to be loyal to the king, no matter when and where he never forgot about it. He can be called a loyal and righteous man and a role model for civil officials.

Unfortunately, Liu Zhang was full of anger at this moment and had no intention of paying attention to the situation in the hall. Naturally, he would not see Dong He's anxious expression, nor would he know that the reason why Li Li was vague in vain was actually to delay time and wait for reinforcements to rush into the provincial and ministerial palace, and then took advantage of the storm to control the entire provincial and provincial government quietly, laying the victory in one fell swoop, and completing his contributions.

Liu Zhang was not aware of this, thinking that since Li Li appeared in the inner courtyard of the state prefecture, he must have controlled the entire mansion, so he had already accepted his fate and surrendered. At this moment, the reason why he asked repeatedly was simply to know how he lost. How many civil and military officials under the tent secretly defected to Li Li to seek self-comfort: "It's not that I, Liu Zhang, are incompetent, but that there are too many treacherous ministers and traitors under the tent, and the building is about to collapse, and he is alone and has no choice but to bow down and surrender."

However, he did not know that Dong He, who was in the hall, had seen some clues and believed that Li Li was not sure of coming to the inner hall this time. Otherwise, he would not have followed Wu Yi to enter the mansion with his head and tail, nor would he ask Wu Yi to close the gate of the inner hall and guard behind the door. These suspicious points all illustrate one thing, that is, the soldiers in the provincial capital's mansion were still soldiers under Liu Zhang's tent, and Li Li and Wu Yi's troops had not arrived yet, or had not captured the provincial capital's mansion.

If this speculation is valid, it means that Liu Zhang still has the opportunity to save the situation. Even if he cannot capture Li Li, he can escape from Li Li's hostage and thus escape from heaven. As long as he is not captured by Li Li, everything will have room for maneuver. Even if Chengdu falls, Liu Zhang can still escape to Jianyuan County, Yizhou County or Yizhou Vatican, and there is still a chance to make a comeback and make a comeback.

While restless, seeing that Liu Zhang had not responded for a long time, Dong He was so anxious that he was sweating coldly on his forehead and sweating all over. After a while, he decided to take a gamble and shout with courage to call the soldiers outside the door to rescue Liu Zhang. However, he knew that this shout had to be enough, because Liu Zhang had also shouted before, but was hidden by the lightning, thunder and strong wind and rain outside the door, so that the soldiers outside the door did not hear the movement in the hall at all, and were indifferent.

"Come on, um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um

The abnormal sound in the hall attracted Liu Zhang's attention. He looked up and saw Zhang Song covering Dong He's mouth. Then Wu Yi stepped forward quickly and patted Dong He's eyes white with a palm. He fell to the ground immediately, not knowing life and death.

"Uh! Wait for this?" In amazement, Liu Zhang pointed at Zhang Song and Wu Yi and couldn't speak for a long time. In this space, he already understood what Dong He wanted to do just now, and what Zhang Song and Wu Yi were doing now.

"Yongnian, I didn't expect that even you would betray me! This province treats you very well, promotes you with exceptional promotion, rewards to mansions, brocades and beauties, treats you like a high place, but you actually betray me! Tell me, why is this?" As he spoke, Liu Zhang looked ferocious, stared at Zhang Song angrily, gritting his teeth and asking the reason.

Faced with Liu Zhang's stern questioning, Zhang Song's face turned red and his head was lowered in shame. Just as he was about to answer, Li Li took the lead and said, "Ji Yu doesn't need to be angry. All this is because you are content with enjoyment and do not want to make progress, so that many aspiring people under the tent have no place to use their skills and have no talent to display. After all, although Yizhou is vast and rich in resources, it is still a part of a corner, with only one state, and although there are many counties, there are not as many officials in Yizhou. Therefore, many people have no hope of promotion and have to settle for the second best, which has a breeding trend of luxury. Officials at all levels are neglected in government affairs, and people are indifferent to affairs, but are obsessed with making money and enjoyment.

However, there are still some aspiring people here. They are tired of the life of singing and dancing, they are unwilling to make money and enjoyment, and are uneasy about the status quo, hoping to get greater room for promotion, so as to show what they have learned in their lives and realize their lofty ideals. Yongnian is one of them. In addition, there are many people who are ambitious like Yongnian, so Ji Yu should not be surprised, and everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force them."

"Hmph!" Liu Zhang glared at Zhang Song fiercely, snorted coldly and stopped looking at him, then looked at Li Li, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the general has been using fraud just now, but he was alone in the palace this time, and he was not prepared in advance. Since this, the general should be careful. Even if you can kill this state, you are afraid that you will lose your life!" His tone was not good, and even his name changed, and he began to call himself this state, which showed that Liu Zhang had some confidence at this time, and he had a rising momentum of turning a grass chicken into a phoenix.

Unfortunately, his threatening remarks invisibly revealed his inner timidity, his harsh and weak inside, and his inability to guess were mostly speculations, and he bluffed and tested Li Li's reaction to confirm his judgment. The reason why he did not dare to act was because he was worried that if he forced Li Li in a hurry, his life would be lost. After all, with Li Li's skills, he could kill him without any effort. Therefore, Liu Zhang felt that he was afraid of being jealous of the mouse at this time. He clearly felt that the opportunity was right in front of him, but he did not dare to catch it, for fear that he would make a mistake and everything would be empty.

Looking at Liu Zhang's fierce look, Li Li smiled heartily and said with a smile: "Are you testing me or threatening me? I am ready tonight. Actually, I don't even know how to try it. If you hurt your life, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance. I didn't plan to kill you. If you insist on dying, I will be helpless."

After a brief pause, he noticed Liu Zhang's erratic and suspicious eyes. Li Li continued: "In fact, the more than 200 soldiers you bought at the beginning were not killed in the battlefield. Only more than 20 of them were killed, and the remaining two hundred people settled in their names."
