"Master!"

Seeing Li Li walking in with a smile, Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and others immediately bowed and bowed.

Li Li nodded and signaled everyone to get up, walked to He Man and Chen Dao, patted their shoulders, and laughed loudly, "What Fengxiao said is reasonable. You are too reckless. Even if you want to vent your anger and vent your anger, you don't have to beat them to death. Naturally, you can't show mercy to the enemy. As long as he is still resisting, it doesn't matter if he kills him. If he bows his head and leaves him alone and gives up resisting, then killing him will be boring."

As Li Li finished speaking, Chen Dao and He Man immediately put away their whip and bowed and retreated aside.

Li Li looked up at Yuan Xi and Feng Ji who fainted from pain, turned around and said to Li Xuan, Huan Fei and others: "These two should really die, and it would be okay to kill them. However, as Fengxiao said, Yuan Xi was not very talented, he was purely a playboy, but he was Yuan Shao's son after all.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou is not a broad-minded person. He was born in a prominent family and had four generations. He was highly regarded and arrogant. He always bullied others and could not tolerate others to ride on his head. Once Yuan Shao knew that Yuan Xi was dead at my hands, then our army and Yuan Shao would be irreconcilable enemies. There was no room for maneuver between the two sides. The war was about to break out and he would never stop until the other party was completely destroyed.

At present, our army is resting and recuperating, and is engaged in large-scale farming production, building water conservancy and roads, restoring people's livelihood, improving people's living conditions, taking multiple measures, and accumulating strength. In this context, our army should not act lightly for the time being, and we cannot mobilize the army to launch a war. Otherwise, the results we had accumulated before would be in vain, and the treasury was still empty and the food and wages were short. The more we fought, the poorer it would be, and the people of Xiliang would be affected."

Seeing Huan Fei and Xu Chu and other military generals looked gloomy and depressed, Li Li smiled and said, "Our army should not be able to march to attack cities and territories for the time being, which does not mean that we are afraid of fighting. It is not that we are not strong in combat, but a strategy of retreating to advance and long-term development. If we encounter local wars that only require less than 100,000 troops, and do not need to work on the expedition, but guard the doorsteps of our homes to fight, our army can fight every day and be used as actual combat training. But our army cannot break out in a full-scale war. At least after the harvest next summer, the treasury of each county can pay a certain amount of food and salary. With our accumulation in the past two years, even if a war breaks out, we do not need to increase taxes. We can also launch a large-scale army. By then, it will be the time for our army to attack and expand the territory again. If we cannot capture one or two prefectures and counties, it means that our army has lost its spirit and the generals of the army are incompetent, including me as the commander!

Do you know how many princes there are in the Han states? I tell you that there are more than 20 princes of all sizes today. There are more than a dozen princes with strong strength. So many princes stand together in the world, so naturally there are constant wars and endless wars. Without decades of situation, it is afraid that it will be difficult to pacify the world. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about no war to fight, and don’t have the idea of ​​a hero who is useless to fight. The situation in the world changes rapidly, and maybe one day the war will burn on our army. At that time, it is the time for you to show your skills, and it is a great opportunity for passionate men to make achievements. Hahaha!”

"Hahaha!" Driven by Li Li's hearty laughter, Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Chen Dao, He Man and others swept away the gloomy and melancholy atmosphere and immediately laughed.

After everyone laughed, Li Li waved his hand and said, "Okay. Immediately ask the doctor to come and treat the wounds of Yuan Xi and Feng Ji. Later, someone will carry them onto the carriage and leave with us. You will all go back to your room to clean up. After lunch, we will get ready to go and try to evacuate all of Wuji City before dark."

While speaking, Li Li strode out of the door, and everyone behind him also left the room.

As the footsteps outside the door gradually drifted away, Feng Ji's left leg, curled up in the corner of the wall, moved slightly, then his eyes opened a slit slightly, and he carefully visited the entire room, and found that there was no one else in the room except Yuan Xi who fainted after him. At this time, he opened his eyes with a pale face and said in a low voice: "No wonder these people are all extraordinary, burly, and brave, and they actually ignore the lord Yuan Shao, the lord of Jizhou, and dare to attack the second young master. It turns out that these people are all under Li Li of Xiliang, and the person in charge is Li Li himself. Ouch——!"

While talking to himself, Feng Ji accidentally touched the wound on his chest, and he suddenly felt so painful that he wailed and felt in great pain.

After whispering "Ouch" for a while, Feng Ji Fang felt the pain relieved a little, and couldn't help but murmur: "Li Wenchang dared to take risks in person and sneak into the Zhen family in Zhongshan. The Zhen family leader Zhen is so close to him. It seems that they are colluding with him. No wonder Zhen's family refused to lend it to his lord only 50,000 stones of food and grass and 3 million yuan. It turned out that she had already secretly contacted Li Li and made up her mind to move her family to Xiliang. She was fearless! Such important news, Jizhou scout and Xizuo were not aware of it, and the lord still didn't know about this matter. It was ridiculous and ridiculous!

Hearing their words, I will get off to leave Zhen’s mansion this afternoon, and take me and the second young master with me together. Oh, how should I get out? As long as I can pass the news to my lord, I will definitely be able to die in Jizhou and kill all of them. Yixue will be whipped today and humiliated!"

—————————————————————

The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk.

Under the setting sun, the huge Zhen Mansion courtyard was empty. The originally neat and orderly courtyards, water pavilions, roads and corridors were now full of chaos.

In fact, half a month ago, the Zhen family had already begun to arrange for the Zhen family to leave the Zhen Mansion one after another. Among the more than a thousand people, they either left directly through Jizhou, or pretended to be a caravan and entered Sili through Yanzhou, or went to Youzhou and Bingzhou to turn to Xiliang.

Although the Zhen family was nominally a family of officials, it was actually a family of merchants. Before this, the Zhen family often followed the caravans and rushed to various states, but they did not have such a big move. Within half a month, almost all of the Zhen family went out to leave Jizhou separately. Perhaps it was the Zhen family's abnormal behavior that attracted the attention of Yuan Shao's subordinates, and then it came into Yuan Shao's ears, so that Yuan Shao sent envoys to the Zhen family to borrow food and wages.

However, the borrowing of grain just shows that Yuan Shao had some doubts about the Zhen family, and he could not be sure that the Zhen family abandoned him and instead relied on other princes. When he sent Feng Ji to borrow grain for the first time, the Zhen family did not refuse, but bargained, and showed a merchant face, which made Feng Ji confused and unable to tell whether the Zhen family had any unfair intentions towards Yuan Shao. So Feng Ji could only return to the military camp to report to Yuan Shao, and followed Yuan Shao's wishes. He followed Yuan Xi to the Zhen Mansion again, but this time he led 1,500 personal guards to accompany him. The intention of coercion and intimidation was obvious, and it was obvious that he was forcibly borrowing food and wages.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi, Feng Ji and others met Li Li who had returned from a trip. When they met, they became very angry and faced with the wheat. The conflict was about to break out and they were incompatible. Just when Yuan Xi and Feng Ji thought that Jizhou General Ju Yi would teach Li Li a lesson, a dramatic scene happened. Ju Yi was actually settled by Li Li in a few words. Then Ju Yi turned around and left with more than a hundred personal soldiers, as if he was angry and returned to Changshan Military Camp directly.

When Ju Yi left in anger, Yuan Xi and Feng Ji thought that their group had already shocked the Zhen family. It didn't matter whether Ju Yi was by his side or not, it didn't matter whether they were around him. But what happened next was beyond their expectations. The weak and bullied Zhen family suddenly attacked and shot and killed five hundred soldiers around Yuan Xi in one fell swoop, and captured all the 1,000 soldiers stationed in the four gates alive, without leaving any one. In this way, Yuan Xi and his group had no return, and there was no news within three days, as if the world had evaporated, and no useful information was transmitted to Changshan Camp.

Looking at the whole story, Yuan Shao was fond of planning and his indecisive character was fully demonstrated. He was suspicious but was soft-meaning. His courage to make decisions was slightly insufficient and not bold enough, which led to the delay of the opportunity, which allowed Li Li to accomplish things. The huge Zhen clan calmly evacuated Wuji City. If it were Li Li, once he learned that there were any abnormal movements among the aristocratic families in his territory, he would have mobilized troops to surround his mansion as soon as possible, and ordered all passes to strengthen vigilance and strictly investigate passers-by.

In the final analysis, Yuan Shao of Jizhou has not yet completely taken all the counties and counties in Jizhou, nor has he managed the entire Jizhou as impeccable as an iron barrel. The Black Mountain bandits can make Jizhou uneasy and have a lot of loopholes. However, Yuan Shao mobilized troops to suppress the bandits twice, but he did not achieve his complete success and was still confronting the Black Mountain bandits.

It is precisely because of this that Li Li and his group sneaked into Jizhou without any danger, and were fortunate to meet the Zhen family's consortium, and tried every means to convince the Zhen family's head Zhen family and the old patriarch Zhen Shi to agree to rely on Li Li and move their family to Chang'an.

However, in the world, there are disasters that will not only happen, but also good things will come together.

The Zhen family depended on Li Li, which for Li Li had already achieved the original intention of his trip to Zhongshan, which was a perfect success. However, Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and Xu Chu also became a marriage with the four daughters of the Zhen family. Even the Zhen family, who had been widowed for many years, was very excited and committed to Li Li. In this way, Li Li and others really brought down a group of beautiful women in the Zhen family, except for Zhen Mi, who was still young, and had both people and wealth. This move was an unexpected joy and a great harvest!

In addition, Li Li also coerced Guo Jia to surrender, and then successfully received his command. Then, he met Zhao Yun who returned to Changshan to attend the funeral. So Li Li made many plans and carefully planned to put Zhao Yun into a trap step by step, prompting Zhao Yun to quickly change from the initial hostility and vigilance to the convincing and competing for him.

At this point, Li Li's trip to Jizhou was fruitful and he made a lot of money, which was definitely worth the trip.
