As Li Li ordered the army to slow down, 50,000 cavalry moved forward slowly, which showed that he had no malice, and naturally dispelled many of Lu Bu's previous concerns.

When he reached the camp one mile away, he saw the gate wide open from afar, and then Lu Bu's tall and straight figure jumped into his sight.

After seeing this scene, Li Li frowned slightly and was quite surprised. After walking more than a hundred steps, he saw Chen Gong standing next to Lu Bu and being half a position behind Lu Bu, he knew it in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on Chen Gong for a while, thinking.

Six years ago, Li Li trusted Chen Gong very much. Not only because he was his eldest brother-in-law and a person who could be trusted, but also because he saved Meiwu and saved the castle built by Dong Zhuo from being damaged. Meiwu was intact, which was equivalent to protecting the life-saving food and wages needed by the Xiliang army, which was of great significance to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang army.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Mei Wu was burned, there would be no Li Li today and the powerful Xiliang army under his command. If the Xiliang army wants to grow, it will be delayed at least five to ten years, thus missing the best time to expand, and thus change the situation in the world, with a far-reaching impact. In a sense, if Chen Gong had not followed Lu Bu in the Chang'an Rebellion, Li Li would never have let Lu Bu go easily under Wuguan City.

Four years ago, when the Sili War, Li Li had suspicion of Chen Gong, suspected that he had completely followed Lu Bu. Because the Sili War was the key battle to determine the life and death of Li Li and his Xiliang army, Chen Gong did not send back a few words from beginning to end, and did not expect him to convey information, but he did not even say a greeting or concern. This made Li Li skeptical about Chen Gong for the first time, and if anyone else was no exception.

Faced with such an important life-and-death battle, Chen Gong had no news at all, which inevitably made people suspicious. Moreover, Li Li and him were close relatives, both his brother-in-law and the benefactor of the rescue of his mother and wife and children. However, during the Sili War that lasted for a year, Chen Gong was in a state of silence, as if it was not there. He was obviously staying in the Allied camp but there was no news.

Three years ago, when Lu Bu was defeated in Yanzhou, Li Li thought Chen Gong would change his mind, but even if he could not convince Lu Bu to defect to Xiliang, he should come back himself. However, Li Li was disappointed again, and Chen Gong did not return, but followed Lu Bu to Liu Bei's command and lived in Xiaopei, Xuzhou.

Since then, Li Li completely had no hope for Chen Gong, and really decided to give up him, and would not mention it again. However, Lu Bu then attacked Liu Bei and occupied Xuzhou, and Li Li saw a turning point. He paid attention to Chen Gong's performance again. For this reason, he sent a large number of detailed works to invade Xuzhou. He implemented a comprehensive monitoring of Chen Gong. As long as Li Li wanted to know, Chen Gong's every move could not escape his eyes. Unfortunately, Chen Gong did not act abnormally and did not show any dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, which made Li Li unable to understand him and could not understand his thoughts.

This time, when he was about to arrive on the north bank of the Huai River the evening before yesterday, Li Li tried Chen Gong again. He deliberately left two under Lu Bu's detailed work to find out the news and let him reveal the news that the army crossed the river overnight to Chen Gong. This was Li Li's last test of Chen Gong's loyalty and the only chance to make Chen Gong turn back. If Chen Gong cherished this opportunity, then Li Li would not blame him; on the contrary, Chen Gong could not escape death, and perhaps Li Li would execute him personally.

However, at this moment, the scene in front of Li Li was very puzzled. Judging from the information found by the scouts before, Lu Bu's camp was unprepared in advance and had no idea that he would lead his army to the camp tonight. This could be seen that Chen Gong did not inform Lu Bu of the news of the army crossing the river and going south in advance, so Lu Bu was caught off guard and mistakenly thought it was an enemy attack at night. He was in a hurry, and he was not calmed down until he learned that the visitor was the army led by him.

But with Lu Bu's arrogant and unruly personality, how could he think of taking the initiative to go out to greet him? Even if he thought about it, he would not go back, because he was Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, a fickle guy who values ​​profit and righteousness but also values ​​face. Such a person would never be able to act humbly unless someone instructed him to state his greatness, thus prompting him to change his past style, impersonate his sarcasm, pretend to behave, and pretend to be a good person.

There is no doubt that the person who gave Lu Bu private advice was Chen Gong, and no one else had such insights.

So Li Li originally thought that Chen Gong had made a decision and completely turned to his side, but Chen Gong did such an ambiguous thing again. This made Li Li shake his judgment again, and still couldn't grasp Chen Gong's attitude, and couldn't understand what he wanted to do and where he was standing.

If Chen Gong was not Li Li's elder brother-in-law, not a person who had great kindness to Li Li and even the entire Xiliang army, Li Li would definitely not waste his thoughts on him, nor would he tolerate him in every possible way, and gave him opportunities again and again. If someone else had such a changeable temperament, he would have been unable to conclude that Li Li would never be as troubled as he is now, nor would he waste even a little time on him, and would have used the most direct and concise method to completely erase him from the world, once and for all, and eliminate future troubles forever.

"The general is coming at night, and Lu is in a hurry to welcome him. Please forgive me."

In front of the gate, seeing that Li Li was indeed leading his army, Lu Bu took two steps in three steps to meet him, and bowed before Li Li flew off the horse and said.

"Mr. Wen is out." The moment when his feet landed on the ground, Li Li reached out to hold his hands that were bowing and said with a smile: "Mr. Li was disturbed at night, quite abruptly. He was really flattered by Marriot Wen to welcome him!" As bright as ever, as humble and polite as before, everything was so familiar. However, the moment Li Li held his arm, Lu Bu's whole body was tense, and he looked nervous as if he was facing a great enemy. He did not relax his vigilance until he confirmed that Li Li had no malice and his body relaxed.

After three years of seeing Lu Bu, Li Li was as familiar as an old friend. He held Lu Bu's hand and walked slowly with him. Li Li said as he walked, "I haven't seen each other for several years, and the style of Wen Hou is even better than the past. Li is deeply relieved!"

In fact, Lu Bu is approaching middle age, thirty-eight years old, more than one round (four years old) than Li Li (four years old), and now there are two generations. However, although Li Li is young, he is of high status and powerful and has strong strength. Don’t talk about Lu Bu facing each other. Even Liu Biao, who is over 60 years old, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu and other princes dare not regard themselves as elders when they see Li Li. Cao Cao, who is over middle-aged, is naturally no exception.

This was the second friendship meeting between Li Li and Lu Bu. The first meeting scene with a smile like this can be traced back to Chang'an six years ago, when the two were ministers in the same palace and both served under Dong Zhuo. However, since the Battle of the Ba River, the two have become powerful and have become enemies, and they have regarded each other as enemies. Since then, the enemies have met and are very jealous and are facing each other.

However, there is no hatred in the world that cannot be resolved. As time goes by, the situation in the world continues to change. After many years of separation, Li Li and Lu Bu once again became allies and fought side by side. This scene perfectly interprets a sentence: "There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests."

Of course, for Lu Bu, he would rather not see Li Li again in his life. It would be better for each other to die, not to see each other, and be calm and pure. However, the situation is stronger than others, and now Li Li's power is growing day by day, becoming stronger and stronger, and has a huge momentum. Even though Lu Bu was one hundred or one thousand unwilling to see Li Li, when he actually saw Li Li, he had to humbly complain and not dare to touch Li Li's power. He had to be careful in everything, for fear that Li Li would seize the handle, find an excuse, and then take the opportunity to attack.

This is the current trend and an indisputable fact. Even members of the Alliance against Yuan such as Liu Biao, Cao Cao and others met the alliance leader Li Li. They were careful and did not dare to be abrupt; let alone Lu Bu, who had already feared Li Li like a tiger?

As Li Li and Lu Bu approached the gate side by side, Li Zhi, Gongsun Zan, Guo Jia, Xun You, Dian Wei, Chen Dao, Cheng Gongying, Ke Bineng and other civil and military officials and generals who came with him came down one after another and greeted Lu Bu one by one. The civil and military officials and military officials who were standing at the gate were also forwarded and bowed to salute. What was completely different from the civil and military officials in Xiliang who bowed to salute, was that the generals under Lu Bu were respectful and bowed, and the etiquette was extremely comprehensive.

"Brother Gongtai, are you okay?" When Chen Gong stepped forward to salute, Li Li bowed his hand and said with a smile.

This is the special treatment that Chen Gong deserves. Before this, everyone knew that Chen Gong's only sister Chen Yu was Li Li's wife. She has given birth to a son and a daughter for Li Li, and has always been deeply favored by Li Li. Therefore, Chen Gong has a close relationship with Li Li. When this meeting, Li Li naturally cannot be rude when he sees his elder brother-in-law, so as not to be ridiculed by the world.

"Everything is fine, thank you for your concern." Chen Gong didn't say much, and he grasped it just right.

Li Li smiled and nodded, then turned his eyes to the generals under Lu Bu, and said the names of these generals one by one: "General Wei Xu, General Hou Cheng, General Han Xian, General Yang Feng, are you all good?" Before Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others answered, Li Li pointed to a strong and majestic general standing behind Hou Cheng, and laughed: "This general is so nervous that he has never met before. If this general is not wrong, I think it should be General Zang Ba?"

The burly general named by Li Li came out and bowed and said, "The last general Zang Ba meets the general!"

"General Zang Ba does not need to be polite, please get up quickly." He reached out and helped Zang Ba up, Li Li smiled and said, "I have heard that the general is a loyal and kind person. When I saw this, I realized that the rumors were true. The general's majesty was even better than his father. I feel very comforted."

Seeing that Li Li is so familiar with his generals, Lu Bu, who was following Li Li, his face changed and his eyebrows were pounding violently. Then he stepped forward and bowed to greet him: "The General is tired and he is still in trouble. Please rest in the account. Mr. Lu has prepared a banquet and is waiting for the General for a long time. The General is requesting him."
