Li Li's expression was trembling, his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you a trick of carving insects? Are you a trap or a crossbow, or a poisonous arrow, or a trippy, and other despicable methods?"

"Hahaha!"

Tian Feng laughed wildly with great disdain and said sarcastically: "The General is really not an ordinary person. He can tell so many strategies to defeat the enemy at will, which is really shameful! No wonder the general has been invincible for many years?"

Amidst the harsh laughter, just when Li Li thought Tian Feng was going to show off, but Tian Feng turned around and left, and before leaving, he said: "If the general wants to win, he can lead his army to attack. Tian is waiting for the general to come under the commanding flag!"

"Damn it! Tian Feng's son bullies me too much, I swear to kill you!"

In an instant, Li Li was furious, pointing the golden sword in his hand at Tian Feng's distant back, and shouting loudly.

As the Jinniu battle knife waved forward, the tens of thousands of uninformed Black Mountain troops behind him immediately moved, but were blocked by the Jinniu guards who were still moving in front.

"Who dares to take a step without my order? He was still standing still and retreated to me!"

Li Li, who noticed the abnormal movement behind him, turned around and became even more angry. He immediately shouted loudly and waved his sword to signal the soldiers to retreat to standby.

When the Black Mountain Army hurriedly retreated, Li Li suddenly stared at Tian Feng's leaving figure, as if he had lost his soul.

After a while, Li Li's upper body moved suddenly. He heard him whispering to himself: "So that's it. Tian Feng, Tian Feng. You are really good at calculating and rode your horse out to talk to me. It turned out that it was to anger me so that I could lead the army to launch a strong attack in anger.

What a pity, it’s just a little short of you, you can successfully anger me. Unexpectedly, the Black Mountain Army did not get the order to go out without authorization, but instead made me suddenly wake up, and finally figured out your true intention of answering the situation. It is indeed a trick to lure the enemy deeper. And you, Tian Feng, deliberately came out to meet me. This is even more a move, and it is obvious that you want to cover up the situation!"

After figuring out these things, Li Li couldn't help but feel scared, and secretly called for luck.

In fact, if the Black Mountain Army had not been launched without permission, which made him very angry. Maybe he would have followed the trend and immediately rushed to the army. The result must have been that when Tian Feng was thinking, he really used a little trick to anger Li Li, thus seducing Li Li to launch a strong attack in anger, and finally successfully achieved the purpose of ambushing Li Li.

The reason why Tian Feng took the initiative to appear in the formation was because he saw Li Li appear in front of the formation, and the Western Liang cavalry did not gather here. Therefore, he temporarily decided to go out to speak with Li Li, whose original intention was to induce Li Li to lead his army to kill the defeated generals under Yuan Junshuai.

Although Yuan Shao tried his best to build a killing formation without his own efforts and material resources was to destroy the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in one fell swoop, the situation on the battlefield changed rapidly. The development of the situation had gradually deviated from Yuan Shao's expectations. Therefore, when Tian Feng, who was staying here, found that Li Li personally led his army to attack, he immediately came up with his mind and naturally transferred the killing target from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to Li Li. Because Li Li was the commander of the Xiliang Army and the soul and spiritual pillar of the Xiliang Army, the effect of killing Li Li was no less than that of destroying the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

In addition, although the ultimate killing formation is powerful, it is undoubtedly difficult to strangle all the Western Liang cavalry, and it is somewhat unrealistic and almost impossible to achieve the goal. However, if the target of killing more than 100,000 Western Liang cavalry is transferred to one person, the chance of success will increase by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times; after all, it is much easier to deal with one person than to deal with a group of people.

It is precisely because of this that Tian Feng temporarily changed his strategic purpose and re-targeted the killing target on Li Li. Moreover, he thought that Li Li was successful at a young age, so he must be arrogant, highly regarded and arrogant. Moreover, because he was not old, he must have limited mind and scheming, and he could not be as slight as he could.

So he took the initiative to meet Li Li, and then used a little trick to anger Li Li. In this way, everything would naturally come naturally and would be able to kill Li Li easily. As long as Li Li died, what would happen even if the Western Liang army won the victory of this decisive battle? The result would be that the tree would fall and the money would scatter. The Western Liang army would inevitably be in chaos, and then internal strife and fight, and eventually collapsed and were defeated one by one by the princes of the Central Plains, so that the once powerful Western Liang army would be destroyed.

The subsequent development was exactly as Tian Feng expected, and it was carried out step by step according to his vision, without any mistakes, and without any deviation. Therefore, when he successfully angered Li Li, he quickly left without hesitation. Because he was too close to Li Li, he was only twenty steps away, and worried that Li Li would probably kill him on the spot in anger. Therefore, he suddenly turned around and left beyond Li Li's expectations. Only in this way can he ensure his own safety. Otherwise, once Tian Feng was killed by Li Li immediately, the long-planned killing formation would lose control, which would lead to unimaginable serious consequences.

However, Tian Feng, who thought he was scheming, would never have thought that it was because of his haste departure that Li Li became furious and became suspicious. The Black Mountain soldiers were excited and sent out without permission, which made Li Li, who was already suspicious, even more frightened, and then broke Tian Feng's sinister intentions in a very short time.

Tian Feng used his own judgment, overestimated his poor acting skills, misjudged Li Li's mind and scheming, and looked down on Li Li too much. He thought that Li Li was young and determined that his scheming would not be too deep, and believed that Li Li was successful at a young age and was powerful, so he thought that Li Li was arrogant and arrogant, and looked down on everything. Don't you know that this was his own self-conjecture, wishful thinking, and self-righteousness.

In fact, no one can succeed casually in troubled times, and no prince can dominate the country purely by luck and luck, and Li Li of Xiliang is no exception. The most important thing is that because Li Li is young, this determines that he must make several times or even dozens of times the efforts of other princes to achieve his prominent position today. Because he does not have the extensive accumulation of personal connections and family power as other princes, all his gains depend on his own accumulation bit by bit. As well as his hard work, he must be careful and cautious in every step. He must be foolproof; if he makes a mistake, he will fall to pieces.

This is also the fundamental reason why Li Li has to go into battle in every battle that is at stake. Because he will not hand over his destiny to others. This does not mean that he does not trust the generals under his command, but an obsession: Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman should strive for self-improvement; always insist on his destiny, and do his best to control the changes in the situation of each war. Only in this way can he be invincible and move forward firmly step by step.

The Battle of Dongshankou in the past was an important battle for Li Li'an to make a living. In this battle, he led the Wuwei army to defeat the strong with the weak, defeating Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition forces several times his. After the war, he successfully took root in Liangzhou and occupied an important overlord position in Liangzhou. During that battle, he was shot down by hundreds of archers, and then fled in a hurry among tens of thousands of war horses, and almost died in the battlefield.

The Battle of the Southern Suburbs was the rise of Li Li's real battle of becoming a prince. During the war, he personally took charge of the central army, and waited for a critical moment. He personally led his army to fight for the bloody battle overnight, and finally established the victory and seized control of the Western Liang army in one fell swoop. He then integrated the Western Liang army and officially stepped onto the stage of the princes fighting for hegemony, becoming the strongest overlord of the Western Liang among the princes in the world.

This battle of Loudiyuan was a key battle for Li Li to advance into the Central Plains, fight with the princes, and then compete for the world. It is no exaggeration to say that the victory or defeat of this battle not only determines the ownership of the overlord of the Central Plains, but also directly concerns the direction of the Han Dynasty.

Faced with such a major battle, if Li Li could still sit in the back and watch the success or failure of the battle, then his heart would be really big! It can be said that he was heartless. It was pure luck to be able to reach his current status, because he didn't even know how he died in the end.

The decisive battle in Loudi did not exist in isolation, it was the last battle of the entire Sili Battle. For this decisive battle, Yuan Shao of Jizhou emptied the money and grain he had accumulated for many years, and gave up all his money and food, and did everything at all costs. Cao Cao of Yanzhou still gambled and led 70,000 troops to join the war when the foundation of Yanzhou fell; Wenhou Lu Bu abandoned the good situation and ignored it, and almost all the elite infantry cavalry under his command came to the battle. Sun Ce from Jiangdong even mortgaged all the imperial seals exchanged for his father Sun Jian for his life to Yuan Shu, thus borrowing 20,000 troops to join the alliance; Liu Bei of Xuzhou did not care about the stability of the situation, so he hurriedly transferred half of Xuzhou's troops and a large number of food and grass into the alliance, and the remaining small princes also tried their best to participate in the war.

Looking at the actions of all the princes, why did they do this and what did they intend?

Don’t mention any nonsense about eliminating traitors, clearing the lords and reviving the Han Dynasty. These words are okay to fool ordinary people, but they can’t hide the eyes of those who are ambitious in the world. Everyone knows that the winner of this battle of Sili will become the overlord of the Central Plains, and then become the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty, and it is very likely to win the power. Therefore, no princes who entered the alliance want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they are even more unwilling to lose the qualification to compete for the world. Therefore, they almost all their efforts to seek the greatest benefit for themselves.

Like all the princes, Li Li also drew out the most elite combat cavalry and infantry of the Western Liang army for this battle of Sili, and collected almost all the food and weapons that could be raised, which was equivalent to giving all his money and betting. To be honest, in this decisive battle in Loudiyuan, the princes such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Lu Bu invested too much and were too great to be defeated at all; and Li Li could not be defeated because he could not be defeated either.

No matter which side of the two sides is defeated, the result will be directly crushed by the defeated princes. For the allied forces of the princes, if this battle is defeated, the position of overlord of the Central Plains will be completely lost with them. It is already a blessing in disguise of being able to protect the existing territory and will no longer be able to conquer the states of the Central Plains. In contrast, if Li Li of Xiliang was defeated, the most elite cavalry of the Xiliang army would inevitably suffer heavy losses, which directly led to the entire Xiliang army's

The military strength and combat power dropped by about half. After the war, the Sili counties would be lost. It was a blessing that they could protect the existing three states. Within five years, the Xiliang army was unable to lead the Central Plains. After five years, the Xiliang army would completely lose its qualification to compete for the world, and then become a weak force that was wiped out by other princes. The fate of its commander Li Li and a group of wives and children will be destroyed with the demise of the Xiliang army, becoming a wisp of ashes in the dust of history.
