"Thank you for your concern, you have already recovered as before."

Zhang Chuan respectfully thanked him, then walked to Huang Zhong and bowed: "Only by General Huang's mercy, Zhang Chuan was able to save his life. Zhang remembered his grace to survive. In the future, if the general has time, he might as well come here to talk. Zhang's place of practice is on the back mountain."

"Master, don't mention this matter again. You have offended me before. Do not blame me. In the future, Huang must not bother Master." Huang Zhong said with a smile.

Zhang Chuan looked puzzled, and Li Li explained with a smile: "That's true. Han Sheng then led his army to station in Hanzhong and was neighbors with the Taoist priest, so he often met with the Taoist priest."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Chuan said happily: "It's so good. I don't know General Huang without fighting, and I'm very close. General Huang is stationed here, so Zhang can't ask for it!"

Li Li smiled and nodded: "From today, the Taoist priest will take over as the head of the sect. Here, I will give you twelve words: 'Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, help the poor and the poor, and advocate nature'. Such a noble sect will be able to be carried forward and flourish. As for the sayings of demons and ghosts and the saying of practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal is far from ordinary people, so it is enough to let those talented and outstanding people practice. Any sect must be beneficial to people before it can last for a long time, otherwise it will be a flash in the pan and a passing cloud."

"I will remember the teachings of the general in mind and will follow this in the future." Zhang Qiang responded respectfully.

"Hey! And me? Why do you ignore me? General Li is so arrogant!" Seeing that Li Li and Zhang Chuan were chatting happily, they put themselves aside and ignored him. Zhang Qiying was very dissatisfied and said to Li Li with a pout.

Li Li raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "It's not that I am unwilling to pay attention to you. It's that you call me wrong. Don't think I don't know that you and Mengxin are good sisters, Mengxin is a stranger, but I am not. So, hehehe, you should call me."

"You are so cruel!" Zhang Qiying murmured in a low voice, and then said to Li Li: "My sister is wrong. Brother-in-law, you have a lot of adults, so don't worry. My sister has brought you a letter from my sister. If you don't forgive me, I won't send you a letter!"

Li Li laughed in silence when she heard this, "I even secretly said that I'm cruel. You little girl is the real ghost elf! Take it out and call me brother-in-law at you. I can promise you something or give you a gift."

"Ah! OK. This is what you said by your brother-in-law. You are the general, keep your word and don't regret it!" Zhang Qiying said in surprise. While speaking, she handed the treasure bag to Li Li, but her eyes fell behind Li Li. After searching for a while, she finally saw a familiar figure outside the gate, so she glared fiercely at the person who was hiding outside the gate and did not dare to come in.

Li Li smiled and nodded. While walking to the main seat, he untied the brocade bag and took out the letter. He spread the letter and silk. The beautiful ink and pen came into his eyes: "My husband opened his own hands and saw the words as if he met. His husband attacked Hanzhong, and he was determined to take Xichuan. Jiameng Pass entered the throat of Shu and did not allow any mistakes. I passed by Jiameng Pass. Seeing that the guards of this pass were slackened, so I sent Zhang Chuan to lead the escort guards to enter this pass, just waiting for his husband to take over. Qiying and Meng Qi had long been affectionate, but because his father was blocked, he could not be fulfilled. Please ask your husband to do this."

The letter was very long, with a thousand words. After reading the letter, Li Li put the letter on his body and closed his eyes and pondered for a while, thinking to himself: "I thought it would be a very painful thing to have such a woman who can see through her thoughts. Now it seems that the opposite is true. Only by being intimate can one be caring. I, Li Li, are so lucky. I have such a kind and kind lover. The war in Hanzhong has not yet ended, but I have already thought of the follow-up strategy for me, which is intimate and impeccable. What else can I ask for a husband like this? But I can't live together day and night. How can I follow the world and be ashamed of others? Is it so beautiful!"

As his thoughts flew, Li Li suddenly opened his eyes and said aloud: "Ma Chao obeys the order, from now on, you will receive Qiying's little sister, and there must be no mistakes!"

Ma Chao walked into the main hall when he heard the sound. After hearing the order, his expression changed suddenly and said in surprise: "Ah! This,,,,,,,"

"Dare you dare to disobey?" Li Li pondered, frowned slightly, and said unhappy: "If you don't want to, Zilong can do it for you. Qiying's younger sister is born with beauty, and everyone loves it. When flowers bloom, it is your blessing to let you receive it. Don't think that you, Ma Mengqi, call yourself "Jin Ma Chao", is handsome and elegant. There are no shortage of beautiful men under my command. Not to mention that there are three people in the lobby that are not inferior to you. Gongjin and Zilong are the best among famous people, let alone this general sitting here. Without you, Ma Chao, Qiying can still find a good man."

"Lord, stop talking, I will take the order!" Before Li Li could finish his words, Ma Chao interrupted with a flushed face.

Suddenly, everyone in the hall burst into laughter: "Hahaha"

————————————————————

A fierce battle did occur in Jiameng Pass, which began almost at the same time as Li Li's troops in Nanzheng City.

When Yangping Pass was in trouble, Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, Leng Bao, Deng Xian and others led more than 10,000 Yizhou soldiers to flee to Jiameng Pass in a hurry. When they arrived in front of the Pass, the defenders at the Pass opened the city gate without any extra questioning and let them pass. However, when Zhao Wei and Wu Yi saw that the defense inside the Pass was slack, they were worried that they would be defeated and could not explain to Liu Zhang. So they made an intention to lead their troops to suddenly attack and attempt to seize Jiameng Pass. If they succeeded in one fell swoop, they would be worth the defeat of Hanzhong. Even if the entire army was wiped out, as long as they seized Jiameng Pass, they would not only be guilty, but also make contributions, and they could report their victory to Liu Zhang with confidence.

At the beginning of the raid, the Yizhou army captured the North City Gate in one fell swoop, and the progress was very smooth, but then encountered stubborn resistance, because the defender guard guards guards were the escort guards led by Zhang Chuan. Although the escort guards had only 3,000 people, they had strong combat power and blocked the fierce storm of more than 10,000 Yizhou troops. Just as the fierce battle was in full swing, the deputy commander of Shuofeng Camp led 10,000 cavalry to pursue them, and attacked them from the escort guards, which made Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and others complain and defeated in all directions. With no choice, Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and others had to fight and retreat and retreat to the jungle of the back mountain, so that they could avoid the charge of the escort cavalry of Xiliang.

The frontal battle for the pass turned into a jungle pursuit battle. The Xiliang cavalry went down the horse and went up the mountain to pursue, while Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and others fled in the jungle with thousands of soldiers, fighting and running. The jungle pursuit battle lasted for a whole day and night. Until Li Li and others led their troops to arrive, except for Zhao Wei and Wu Yi, who were still fleeing, most of the enemy troops had been wiped out, and thousands of prisoners of war were escorted down the mountain one after another.

Therefore, when Li Li entered the main hall of the city guard palace, the deputy commander of Shuofeng Camp Gou and Zhui were chasing Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and other remaining soldiers on the mountain.

As dusk approaches, Goubei finally leads his troops back.

"I will pay homage to the lord!" At this time, there were only four people in the main hall, including Li Li, Li Zhi, Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng.

Li Li stood up and walked to the hall with a smile. He helped him to go to Bei and said with a laugh: "Thank you for your hard work, hurry up and take a rest. Let's take a breath and talk."

The expression of Lu Bei was moved by it, and the fatigue seemed to be removed immediately, and he said respectfully: "I am fortunate to be unfair and defend this pass. I captured Zhao Wei, Wu Yi and his tent more than 300 soldiers. I have now taken back to the pass to wait for the lord to leave!"

"Okay, okay, okay, Bo Yi is so good!" Li Li laughed happily, patted his shoulders and signaled him to sit down and rest. There would be some major discussions later.

After going to sit down, Li Li walked to Zhou Yu and sat cross-legged, smiling and said, "Including the surrendered soldiers Bo Yi just captured. This time, we successively surrendered more than 20,000 Yizhou prisoners of war, and captured all the Yizhou generals who led the troops this time. None of them missed the net. Gongjin thought what should we do next, surrender, reorganize or exile?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu was not in a hurry to answer, but turned his head and looked at Fa Zheng, who was the next leader, and thought, "They have discussed this matter many times with Xiaozhi in private, and they unanimously agreed that it is not appropriate to recruit surrendered troops, and exile is even more undesirable. They can only be temporarily detained and placed in the area. Now, the soldiers of each battalion have been replenished one after another. Our army has reached more than 500,000 troops and strong horses. It is not suitable to expand the army again. At least it is not the best time to expand the army. In addition, since last year, our army has been fighting for more than one year, and the entire army needs rest and rest. In addition, it is the autumn harvest season, and it is necessary to rest for a period of time. In this way, some troops can be drawn to help the people harvest grain and increase the labor force of young and strong. It is really a killing two birds with one stone."

"Hahaha!" Li Li nodded and smiled, "There is something in Gongjin's words. This is an indirect advice to me. Now is not the best time to conquer Yizhou, and we should stop the truce. Am I not wrong, right?"

"My wise, this is exactly what we mean." Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng responded respectfully at the same time.

Li Li shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's not wise, but it's not confused. He hasn't been blinded by victory. Indeed, Hanzhong County is just a county compared to Yizhou, and it's relatively easier to capture Hanzhong. However, if you want to capture Yizhou in one go, you're a little whimsical and self-righteous. If Hanzhong loses, Yizhou will be in a panic and full of battles. Liu Zhang will definitely mobilize heavy troops to defend various passes and always beware of our entry into Shu Road. Therefore, this western expedition has come to this point. After handling the military and political affairs of Hanzhong County, we will withdraw our troops and return to Chang'an, and rest the entire army. We can spend this winter safely."

Zhou Yu, Fa Zheng, the three of them were overjoyed when they heard this and said in unison: "Lord, wise, uh, hahaha!"

When Li Li heard the word "wisdom", he looked shocked, his eyes swept across Zhou Yu and the other two, and then everyone looked at each other and laughed.

While laughing, Li Li ordered Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng: "Then gather Yizhou prisoners of war together and detain them in a concentrated manner. Among them, the generals above the military marquis were isolated and detained separately and could not meet each other. Remember to treat these prisoners of war well. Our soldiers can also talk to them more. As long as they do not resist and do not escape, there is no need to be too harsh. In addition, carefully clean up the bodies of Yizhou soldiers who died in battle, bury ashes in pottery jars, mark their names as much as possible, and accompany them with one thousand coins. It is the only way to pay for the death penalty. Half a month later, all Yizhou prisoners captured this time were released and they were allowed to return to Yizhou, but all weapons, war horses, and flags were confiscated, and no weapon was allowed to be taken away."

"What, release them all? Zhao Wei, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren and others also let go?" Zhou Yu, Fa Zhenghe Qubei was shocked when he heard this and exclaimed in a hurry.

"Yes, all of them have been released. Since Zhao Wei's more than 23,000 people were released and the pensions were issued to the soldiers who fell in Yizhou, although the money was not much, it was also a matter of heart. I believe that the families of these soldiers who fell in love could feel our kindness." Li Li said solemnly.

"Huh?" Zhou Yu whispered in shock, thinking as if he had some enlightenment. Fa Zheng also felt something. He turned his head to look at Zhou Yu who was frowning and contemplative, and stopped asking questions.

After a while, Zhou Yu and Fa Zheng looked at each other and nodded, then stood up and bowed: "The lord is far-sighted, and we are convinced!"

Li Li smiled and stood up, walked to the gate of the main hall, looked at the mountains and rivers in the southwest, shook his head and said, "This is not my plan. There is another person who is truly far-sighted. This person advised me: 'Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement; the earth is quiet, and a gentleman carries things with virtue.' This is a truly wise person, and his long-term vision is amazing. It is her words that inspired me. Since I cannot attack forcefully, I will comfort me. Although the road to Shu is dangerous, it will never stop people's hearts. The strongest castles in the world are often broken from the inside. Being virtuous carries things with virtue, the words of the ancestors make me ashamed!"
