Two days passed quietly.

On the third day, the sky was still clear and cloudless.

In the past two days, Li Li did not meet Zhou Yu alone again, and there was no in-depth conversation except for attending the banquet every day.

However, Lu Su has slept with Zhou Yu in the past two days, had a great conversation and a deep friendship.

As for what they said, Li Li didn't ask at all.

Even if Lu Su wanted to say that, Li Li waved his hand to stop him, so as to show his attitude and never interfered in his personal relationship with Zhou Yu.

At noon, Zhou Yu came to invite Li Li to the banquet again, but the banquet was not placed in the back hall, but in the pear garden halfway up the back mountain of the county government.

In fact, Li Li was about to say goodbye to Zhou Yu in the morning, but unfortunately he couldn't find Zhou Yu, so he had no choice but to delay until noon. Lu Su repeatedly persuaded him to wait, and it would not be too late to leave after directly explaining his purpose.

In fact, Li Li has long had no hope for this trip.

He spent nearly three days together under the same roof. With Zhou Yu's wise mind, he could not have known Li Li's intention to visit. He even knew why Li Li and others came when he first met two days ago. However, Zhou Yu had been avoiding Li Li for the past two days, and invisibly expressed his attitude, but he didn't say it out in person.

Given this, it is meaningless to stay here again, so Li Li didn't want to say anything more, just say goodbye and leave directly, why bother to make it boring?

However, Lu Su was unwilling to give up easily and insisted on persuading Zhou Yu. He would not leave until Zhou Yu's clear answer was received. As a brother, seeing Lu Su is so determined, what else can Li Li say, so he can only wait patiently for two days. Hope there is still room for recovery.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who had disappeared for a morning, suddenly appeared and placed the banquet in Houshan Sakaiyuan. This move is really intriguing.

However, no matter what, Li Li's trip to Juchao is about to have a fruit, and success or failure will be revealed at the Liyuan banquet.

The pear garden is three hundred steps away from the county government's backyard. The pear trees in the garden are lush with branches and leaves. The green pears as big as walnuts hang on the branches and branches. They need to grow for several months before they can mature in autumn.

Following Zhou Yu in the pear garden, Li Li glanced at the back mountain and found that the mountain was really not small, traveling north and south across dozens of miles. It was lush and green. Except for the slightly gentler location of the county government, the remaining mountains and forests were all steep and dense, which was very steep.

Suddenly, Li Li turned his head and looked at Huan Fei who was following him, without any hints. He just looked back and then followed Zhou Yu to the pavilion on the mountainside.

"Brother, please come to the seat." Seeing Li Li walking into the pavilion, Lu Su, who had been waiting here, immediately stood up and saluted, asking Li Li to sit down.

"Huh?" Li Li pondered, then smiled and said, "Gongjin is a landlord. He deserves to be the host. We are guests. If you don't suppress the host, how can you overthrow it! Hahaha!"

"Brother Wenchang doesn't need to be humble. Only you can sit in this master's position. If I, Zhou Yu, sit on it, it would be an act of prejudice!" Zhou Yu asked Li Li to the master's position with a smile on his face, and then he and Lu Su sat on both sides, one left and one right.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu suddenly realized that Huan Fei, who was following behind, had just been following, but now there is no trace.

Zhou Yu's face changed slightly, his brows twitched slightly, and he pretended to be careless and asked, "Where is General Feihu? Why didn't he come to the table and sit?"

Li Li smiled slightly and said frankly: "Flying Tiger was worried about something, so he stayed in the garden to inspect and guard. This was also a time when he was bitten by a snake for three years. Before, it was because of our negligence that we were assassinated by Xiahou brothers under Cao Cao, Yanzhou. Today, he became alert and insisted on patrolling before he could feel at ease. Be careful of no big mistakes, please forgive me."

Li Li said these words very frankly, without any cover-up, and told him bluntly.

But the truth is the most hurtful. After hearing this, Lu Su's cheeks flushed slightly and he opened his mouth to say something, but he finally couldn't say it.

Compared with Lu Su, Zhou Yu seemed extremely calm. After his expression was stunned, his face immediately returned to normal. After getting up and pouring a glass of wine for Li Li himself, he smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Wenchang doesn't need to explain, I can understand it. If it were me, it would be the same. Just as Brother Wenchang said, be careful, there is no big mistake, and only if you are prepared can you be free of trouble. That's fine, the three of us can drink happily today and talk about everything!"

"Gongjin is a reasonable person, which makes me feel deeply ashamed." Li Li smiled and nodded, raised the wine bottle, stood up and said, "Come on, this first drink is the right to apologize to Gongjin, please!"

"Zijing, let's drink together!" Zhou Yu raised his glass happily and drank it all in one go.

After sitting down, Zhou Yu looked at Li Li with a smile and said meaningfully: "Many people may not accept what Brother Wenchang did just now, and may even offend the master. Brother Wenchang must be aware of this. Since this is the case, why should Brother Wenchang tell him bluntly?"

Li Li smiled when he heard this, reached out to pour a glass of wine for Zhou Yu, and then filled Lu Su and himself with his glass. Then he drank on his own without answering positively.

"Hahaha!" Zhou Yu laughed at this, then picked up the wine bottle and drank it all. Then he asked, "Brother Wenchang has told me many times. Isn't Brother Wenchang worried that I will hold a grudge for what happened just now?"

After hearing this, Li Li quickly retracted his smile on his face and said calmly: "If Gongjin decided not to serve me, I would certainly be very disappointed, but the person who was saddest was not me, but the son of Gongjin who always regarded Gongjin as his brother. In addition, Gongjin refused my recruitment, and the person who suffered the greatest loss was not me, but Gongjin himself."

"Oh? Why is Brother Wenchang so confident? Is it just that the emperor in Chang'an City or the 300,000 Xiliang Army?" Zhou Yu asked.

Li Li shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that I, Li Li, are arrogant, but that strength determines everything. Since I integrated the Xiliang Army two years ago, I have left the princes in the world to accumulate strength and expand their territory.

Now that the Xiliang army under my command has been recuperating for nearly two years, the people are able to be self-sufficient, which allows me to free up my hands to send troops. Only if the entire force of the Xiliang army is mobilized, only 30,000 to 50,000 troops will not affect the overall situation of Xiliang, and even if there is no need to increase taxes, it will be exhausted and the people will be damaged. Today, the situation will be clear if the Xiliang army under my command moves, within five years, the situation in the world will become clear, and the small princes in each town will also perish within five years.

Therefore, if some people with great ambitions have not yet made a fortune or have not yet occupied a solid foundation, then they will lose the qualification to compete for the world. Even if he can conquer several counties later, it will be a flash in the pan at best. The foundation is too shallow and it will not last long.

I wonder if Gongjin agrees?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu's confident smile disappeared, his expression calmed down, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was silent.

At this time, Lu Su's expression of depression was relaxed, and he smiled and nodded slightly at Li Li, with a strong look of joy in his eyes.

For two days, Lu Su deliberately persuaded Zhou Yu to serve Li Li, saying during the day and at night, saying a lot of good things. However, Zhou Yu never had a clear attitude. He hesitated, seemed to be unreasonable, and refused to give up.

Until today, Lu Su has given up completely and no longer had any hope. This table of pear garden wine banquet is actually a practice of wine. It is also a farewell banquet. After eating and drinking, each person will be divided into things. From one another, they will even become enemies in the future.

However, what Lu Su never expected was that Li Li changed his previous attitude of respecting Zhou Yu and doing the opposite. The result was unexpected. Zhou Yu was a little moved, unlike before, and avoided and dodged, but instead showed a loose voice that had not been before.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu woke up from his thoughts and asked, "How many of the princes in the township today can be seen in Brother Wenchang's Dharma eyes?"

"Huh?" Li Li was stunned when he heard the sound, looked at Zhou Yu with a calm expression and tentatively said: "Now, more than a dozen princes in the world are not easy. Perhaps they are not as strong as me at the moment, but their potential is huge and should not be underestimated!"

Zhou Yu looked slightly stunned, looked up at Li Li, and said sincerely, "Why should Brother Wenchang deceive himself? Brother Wenchang is already the best in the world, and he is actually the most powerful and stable overlord among the princes. Perhaps others are not qualified to discuss the princes in the world, but Brother Wenchang is qualified and confident to comment on the princes in each town."

After a brief tone, Zhou Yu changed his tone and said, "If Brother Wenchang is not convenient to speak out, what if I try to say it? If what I say is not accurate, I would like to hear Brother Wenchang's high opinions."

"Okay, please tell me, let's start with Yuan Shu, who ruled Yangzhou." Li Li nodded happily.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, after drinking a glass of wine, he said, "Jiujiang Yuan Shu Yuan Highway, born in a prominent family of Yuan, relied on the status of the eldest son of the Yuan family. He was arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, careless, incompetent, but arrogant. He looked down on the world. I see that he is actually a rat who is waiting for death, and he will be destroyed by other princes sooner or later. Therefore, Yuan Shu is not afraid of it, he is not considered a hero, and he is not attracted to Brother Wenchang's eyes."

Li Li smiled slightly without comment, raised his hand to pour a glass of wine for Zhou Yu, and said, "Yuan Shao, a leader of the 18th princes, led all heroes to expel Dong Zhuo. He occupied the richest and most populous Jizhou in the world without bloodshed. Now, Yuan Shao has more than 200,000 troops, and civil officials and military officials under the tent gathered. His strength is growing day by day, and he is quite powerful. He is quite powerful in swallowing You, Qing, and merged with the three states. I wonder if Gongjin thinks that Yuan Shao is still considered a hero in the world?"

Zhou Yu took the wine bottle handed over by Li Li, drank it all, and shook his head and said, "Yuan Shao, Jizhou, values ​​scholars and over common people, and emphasizes officials and over businessmen. He only likes fame, likes planning without decisions, has great ambitions and is out of talent, and has a place where the soldiers and people are rich and rich, and he is mediocre and inaction. I think this person is the same as Yuan Gonglu, and it happens in a chaotic world. The two Yuans are from the same family but are not incompatible. This section alone is not enough to accomplish great things. Therefore, Yuan Shao is not afraid and cannot be considered a hero. Even if he can show off his strength for a while, he cannot last long. He will sooner or later make wedding clothes for others!"

Li Li's eyes opened slightly, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes. He poured a glass of wine for Zhou Yu again and asked, "Youzhou White Horse General Gongsun Zan is quite famous, but he is still considered a hero in the world?"

Zhou Yu did not drink first this time, but continued: "The White Horse General Gongsun Zan is a general who can conquer and fight, but he is a general but has no commanding talent, nor the courage of a prince. In the past, he used to use a rash war because of the death of his brother Gongsun Yue, and sent troops to attack Yuan Shao but was unable to win. He regarded himself very high but had no tolerance. He killed the wise man Liu Yu in vain and would be abandoned by the people of the world. How could such people be called the hero of the world?"

After saying that, Zhou Yu picked up the wine bottle and drank it all, which was really enjoyable.

The smile on Li Li's face became stronger and stronger. This time, Lu Su was stopped by him when he waved his hand to pour wine for Zhou Yu.

After filling Zhou Yu with wine bottles again, Li Li asked, "Xuzhou Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu have always been famous for their virtuous reputation, can they be the hero of the world?"

"Tao Gongzu is old, and the dry bones in the tomb are so good!" Zhou Yu responded without thinking.

"What should I do with Chenliu Zhang Miao, Hanoi Zhang Yang, Yangzhou Liu Yao and other three?" Li Li reported to the three princes with equal strength in one breath.

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard the sound, looked up at Li Li in surprise, and said, "These three people are not as good as Yuan Gaolu, let alone heroes?"

"Liu Biao, Jingzhou?" Li Li looked at Zhou Yu with his eyes, without any permission, and once again reported the names of the princes along the way.

Zhou Yu blurted out without blinking his eyelids: "What's the use of guarding the household dogs, even if there are nine counties in Jingzhou? How can such people guarding the door and the hospital guard be compared with the heroes of the world!"

Li Li's eyes became brighter and he asked casually: "Liu Yan, Yizhou?"

Zhou Yu's sword eyebrows moved slightly, his eyes blinked slightly, and he said two words: "Diet!"

"Liu Yan died? When did this happen?" Li Li asked in surprise.

Zhou Yu poured a glass of wine for Li Li, and said with great certainty: "Ten days ago, Liu Yan died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne of the governor of Yizhou. It is said that Liu Zhang arrived in Chengdu the day before, and Liu Yan died the next night. The civil and military officials in Yizhou wanted to push Liu Mao to inherit his father's ambition, but unexpectedly, Liu Zhang actually cared about the emperor's imperial edict and enthronement, and there were several generals around him to protect him. So he could barely sit on the throne of the governor of Yizhou. I heard before that Liu Zhang was the chief clerk of the general under the tent of Brother Wenchang, and had a good personal relationship with Brother Wenchang. The emperor's imperial edict and enthronement he held must have been given by Brother Wenchang, right?"

"Hahaha! I didn't think it would come in handy, but I was lucky." Li Li laughed.

Before he finished speaking, Li Li immediately changed the subject and continued to ask: "Cao Cao in Yanzhou was praised by famous scholar Xu Shao as: "A capable minister in governing the world, a traitor in troubled times." Now he has more than 100,000 troops and occupied Yanzhou, a key area in the Central Plains. Most of the civil servants under him are famous scholars of the world, and military generals are also brave people. In Gongjin's opinion, can Cao Cao in Yanzhou be considered a hero in the world?"

Zhou Yu shook his head and chuckled meaningfully, "Looking at all the princes in the world, why did Brother Wenchang put Cao Cao at the end? I believe that the person Wenchang was the one who was most afraid of was Cao Cao Cao Mengde?"
