There were stormy waves all night, and how many mandarin ducks were gone.

The ferry sways and ups and downs, and the words are endless and heartless.

A man and a woman are beautiful, and her mind is strong and fragrant.

The fairy couples are all in their own age and are full of love.

The dark night overlooks the people, and the bright moon carries the sorrow of emotion.

The stars in the sky were filled with stars and they didn't speak. The surging river could not erase the red silk.

—————

The dawn begins to appear, the sky is clear and the rainbow penetrates the blue sky.

After some washing, the two ferries set off again and were expected to be able to land in the evening and go fast.

"Gongjin looks so good today, with a red face and a magnificent spirit. He should have a happy event!"

On the ferry, just after breakfast, Li Li walked on the bow of the boat with a cup of tea, and happened to see Zhou Yu coming from the ferry next to him with Da Qiao.

"Brother laughed and just slept well last night." Zhou Yu naturally heard something else in Li Li's words, and knew that Da Qiao's discomfort would definitely not escape Li Li's eyes, so he simply faced it calmly, without shirking his responsibilities or explaining, and greeted him with a smile.

However, Zhou Yu was really happy today. He won Da Qiao last night. This indescribable sense of accomplishment was no less than the capture of a castle with iron walls. Until now, he was still immersed in endless tenderness, his heart was filled with joy, and his face was endless. So much so that when he woke up in the morning, he was refreshed and heroic, and he became more and more worthy of Mei Zhoulang's name.

Hearing Zhou Yu's voice, Xiao Qiao walked out of the cabin quickly and looked at Zhou Yu and his sister Da Qiao with a smile. After seeing Da Qiao's face full of redness and his lips were a little pale, Xiao Qiao did not ask much and quickly stepped forward to help his sister into the cabin.

Watching Erqiao enter the cabin, Li Li whispered to Zhou Yu with a weird smile: "Gongjin finally succeeded, and he was able to hold the beauty back. It's a happy congratulations. Hahaha!"

Zhou Yu is now in need of someone to share the joy of being lucky with him, so he smiled at Li Li without hesitation and said, "I also have to thank my brother for his success, otherwise I don't know when my brother and Da Qiao will have to wait. I'm afraid that only when I get married and get married can I get my long-cherished wish!"

"Oh?" Li Li was slightly shocked, his eyes rolled. He immediately knew what Zhou Yu meant.

It must be Zhou Yu and his wife who listened to the ecstatic nocturne for several days in a row. They were so itchy that they couldn't help it, so they hit it off and got married in advance.

What a romantic affair!

"Hahaha!" After understanding the reason, Li Li and Zhou Yu looked at each other tacitly and smiled. Everything was indifferent.

After laughing, Li Li raised his eyes to look at the water ahead and asked, "Does Gongjin know where this place is?"

When Zhou Yu heard Li Li mention the serious matter, he kept his smile and said seriously: "I am still in Jiangxia. I will reach Sanjiangkou in the afternoon. You can go ashore in the evening and go to Nanyang by land. If you are not in a hurry to travel, you can arrive at Sili in about four or five days and enter the Xiliang rule of my brother."

Li Li nodded slightly and sighed: "Think about the time, it was early spring when I left Xiliang, and now it is midsummer. Nearly half a year has passed. Confucius said: Time flies, and the seasons are like flowing. It is really a famous saying, just right!"

Zhou Yu nodded slightly, walked to Li Li, and asked in a low voice: "I heard from Da Qiao that the situation in Chang'an is unstable, and some of the generals under his brother dared to enter the imperial city without permission. I wonder if this matter is correct?"

"Well." Li Li nodded and said, "What Gongjin said is true. Xiliang is a place where wars have been plagued by many wars, and has never lacked bold and arrogant people. The generals in the territory still retained their previous bad habits and often held their own troops. They tried to gain fame and fortune with their troops. Previously, the assassination was spread to Chang'an, and the situation in Chang'an immediately became turbulent. Some people wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make profits. However, as the news of my safety and safety was passed back, the situation quickly stabilized."

"Uh!" Zhou Yu frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Although the situation has stabilized, many problems have been exposed. If this rebellion cannot be eliminated in time, it will be a disaster and will be endless. In addition, since it is the generals in the military who are leading the trouble, it is necessary to rectify it so as not to happen in the future such things. I wonder what the brother wants?"

"Gongjin is well versed in the way of commanding troops, and he hit the nail on the head." Li Li smiled and nodded, and continued: "The reason why such evil things happened this time is the source of the hidden dangers left in the Battle of the Southern Suburbs. Some people with different ambitions have been dormant for two years. This time, when I saw an opportunity, I could immediately jump out to make trouble and act recklessly. Fortunately, I have been wary of these people. When the Xiliang Army was reorganized two years ago, I deliberately excluded them from the main battle camp, but this time it was used. If the main battle camp is in chaos, then there will be big trouble this time, which will inevitably trigger a civil war."

Speaking of this, Li Li shook his head gently and said thoughtfully: "Maybe it was because my methods were too gentle before and were based on tolerance, which made these people become more and more bold and lawless. After this trip, I personally experienced the cruelty of disputes in troubled times. Mercy is not a virtue, but is regarded as cowardly by some people; tolerance is not omnipotent, and it is easy to breed the ambitions of some people with different ambitions. It is time to clean up some people with ambitions, otherwise it will sooner or later lead to irreparable disasters!"

Zhou Yu nodded happily, but felt relieved.

Zhou Yu did not doubt the authenticity of Li Li's words at all. Although Li Li's words were not angry, Zhou Yu could hear endless bloody storms from these words. I believe that some generals of the Lieutenant General of the Western Liang army would be separated and their families were destroyed. This made him feel the side behind Li Lijun's bright smile so close for the first time. The monarch was angry and piled up with white bones.

Thinking of Li Li's rise, it can be said that one general has achieved success and has been undone. Dong Zhuo, who was arrogant in the past, has long passed away, and the Wenhou Lu Fengxian, who was so powerful that the world, has become a dog of a family and has gone into exile everywhere. General Li Jue of Xiliang, Guo Si and other dozens of soldiers with self-respecting military commanders surrendered to Li Li's command, and hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops were kneaded together by Li Li to take charge of the Xiliang army. These little things seem dull, but in fact countless people die for each step. Behind the glory is the unknown cruel killing.

In recent years, although the Xiliang army has done nothing and has become weapons and horses that have been put into the warehouse, no one in the world knows that the Xiliang army is growing steadily. In the past, the Xiliang army was known as a 400,000 army, but in fact there were not so many soldiers, but it is hard to say now. In two years, many princes have grown from nothing to something. From the initial growth of only ten thousand soldiers to the fact that they have more than ten thousand soldiers, is it true that the Xiliang army under Li Li really not recruiting one soldiers?

No one believes this sentence if you say it.

However, once the army under Li Li's command is still slowly expanding, even if each battalion only recruits more than a thousand people, the total number will be a considerable number. At least 40,000 to 50,000 troops will be added. If two thousand people are recruited, it means that the Xiliang army will increase by 100,000 troops within two years. The reason is that the Xiliang army has a strong foundation and many troops, and there are branches under more than a dozen main battle camps. In this way, as long as the generals of each division select some new recruits and include them in their own tent, the overall strength of the Xiliang army will increase by tens of thousands.

The reason why Zhou Yu was determined to take over Li Li's command was that Li Li was actually because he was very strong. Li Li himself was not only brave and good at fighting, but also wise, and his every move seemed to be a long-term plan. Almost no one dared to confront the Xiliang army head-on. As long as Li Li was not dead, he would be a natural barrier in front of all the princes in the world. If he could not cross this natural barrier, no one would want to conquer the world.

Zhou Yu had hesitated and thought for several times before, and wanted to reject Li Li directly. Because he was also a person with great ambitions, he was full of ability to do something big even if he did not join Li Li. It was a pity that time was too late. When Zhou Yu was still full of ambitions, Li Li of Xiliang had grown into an insurmountable mountain, and once this mountain was pressed down, almost no one could stop it. In the past, the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries. He fought if he could win, and defended if he couldn't win, defend, and finally annexed the six countries.

What Li Li said before directly defeated Zhou Yu's last persistence: "Although the Yangtze River is wide, it is located in a corner. Even if you make achievements, it is a flash in the pan and it is difficult to last forever. The good thing about the general corner is worth cherishing, but which is more important than personal friendship or lifelong ambition,,,,,."

At this moment, he stood side by side with Li Li at the bow of the ship. Zhou Yu looked back on the previous half month experience and felt a lot. In recent days, Li Li had no reservations about him. The first thing he did after he was to marry him a wife, and he was a peerless beauty like Da Qiao. This matter seems absurd and ridiculous, but it is the most touching. Who in the world has included subordinates and puts himself in his shoes so much?

It’s not that there are no, but too few, but the monarchs who do this are all wise and heroic.

"I have something troubled me for a long time, and today I will tell you to Gongjin." Just as Zhou Yu was thinking about recent events, Li Li suddenly spoke: "After returning to Xiliang this time, General Zijing will serve as the general's office and also serve as the chief clerk of the Liangzhou Governor's office. As for Gongjin, I want you to lead troops alone, serve as the commander of the unparalleled iron cavalry, be awarded the title of general of the bandit, and be awarded the title of Duting Marquis. I wonder what Gongjin wants?"

"Ah! This,, is inappropriate!" Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand to refuse, saying respectfully: "The lord's move is inappropriate. The last general has only been in office for more than ten days, and has not made any achievements. Instead, he has repeatedly received great favors from his lord. For this, the lord is grateful and frightened, fearing that he would have to let down his lord's high expectations. How dare he usurp the position of the lord's general, and he cannot receive the title of lord without merit and be granted the title of lord? Please take it back and make a decision, otherwise what kind of face will the lord have in the army!"

"Huh?" Li Li pondered, squinted his eyes and observed the expression on Zhou Yu's face, and nodded slightly, "Gongjin's words are not without reason. However, Gongjin's talent is enough to be the leader of the battalion. If Gongjin does not give Gongjin the opportunity to display his talents, why should I force you to join the Xiliang Army? Besides, the leader of the battalion holds 20,000 cavalry, and there are naturally many opportunities to establish military achievements. Why should Gongjin worry about not having military achievements? As long as Gongjin has enough military achievements, it is impossible to become a general in the army in the future, or become a rank-in official of Mu Shou, and take charge of the military and political affairs of a state,"

"Zhou Yu is willing to be a military marquis, please help the lord!" Before Li Li finished speaking, Zhou Yu bowed and interrupted.

"June Marquis? Hahaha!" Li Li shook his head and laughed, "Gongjin, don't mention the position of June Marquis. Even if you want it, I won't give it to you, otherwise I will be ridiculed in the future!"

Speaking of this, Li Li curled his smile and said seriously: "Let me do this, Gongjin temporarily holds the position of General Left Central Army, and is also a military officer in the General's Mansion, and is also the deputy commander of the Jinqi Guard."

While speaking, seeing Zhou Yu being about to refuse again, Li Li waved his hand and said, "Gongjin, please listen to me. My wife Dian Wuxia has always served as the deputy commander of the Jinqiuwei before. This move is really illegal, so she no longer holds a military position, and there is no one to command the 5,000 troops under her. It is most appropriate for Gongjin to hold this position, but this position is also temporary. When the war comes, the generals of each battalion will be re-mobilized to avoid any one holding a soldier. This matter has been decided, and I have decided, so Gongjin doesn't need to say much!"

"This,, the last general takes the order." Seeing Li Li's expression was solemn and his tone was unstoppable, Zhou Yu had to respond respectfully, otherwise he would be ungrateful. However, the expression on his face was still heavy, as if he was still worried and was still thinking that he would not receive any rewards without any merits, which was really hard to convince the soldiers under the tent.

Noting that Zhou Yu looked strange, Li Li smiled and said, "Don't worry too much, Gongjin, just a mere Central Army General, what's the point? Hahaha!"

"What a big tone! Then how about you give a central officer to a certain family?" Just as Li Li laughed loudly, a burly man in a brocade robe jumped onto the bow of the boat and laughed with a smile on his face.

"Oh?" Li Li was stunned when she heard the sound. The smile on her face instantly faded. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned her head to look at the uninvited guest.

Seeing this, Li Li suddenly found that more than a dozen bamboo rafts and three small boats emerged from somewhere around his ferry, and dozens of young and strong men in animal skins and soft armor had surrounded the two ferries.

"Is this a robbery when I encountered a thief?" In an instant, Li Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the young and strong man around the ferry in disbelief, and then turned around and looked at the burly man not far away.

But he saw this man with a cynical expression, thick eyebrows, big eyes, high nose, two strands of black beard at the corner of his mouth, and a thorny beard under his jaw. His hair was quite long and had no crown, and he only tied up his long hair with a rope at the back of his neck, and there were several colorful and beautiful feathers inserted at the knot. He wore a string of agate chains around his neck, and several strings of pure gold rings made of gold on his wrists, like decorative items, and weapons like wrist guards. He was wearing a Xichuan python pattern, a pair of animal skin tiger-head short boots, and a short handle, six-ring black-backed sword. It was about six feet long, with a sharp blade and a cold light.

Seeing this person's outfit, Li Litun felt very strange, because this guy was not like a water thief robber, but more like a playboy from a wealthy family of a gentry.

Wearing brocade and gold, plus a black sword in my hand, it is worth hundreds of taels of gold, so how can I look like a poor and miserable water thief?
