"Well, everything can never be done again. If you suffer a big loss, you must learn a lesson. There will be no such things in the future." Li Li smiled and nodded.

Seeing that the lord Li Li not only did not reject his reminder, but accepted it with pleasure, Guo Jia felt very relieved and felt relieved, so he could finally leave with peace of mind.As for returning to Xu Rong's camp to station at the Henan border, this is exactly what Guo Jia wanted. After all, since he served as the right army division, he has not made any achievements so far, and he is afraid that the generals in the army will not accept it.

In comparison, it is a rare opportunity to stay with the lord Li Li, but Guo Jia is not a flatterer after all, nor is he good at serving the lord, and he does not want to gain fame and wealth by getting close to the lord.Instead of traveling with Li Li to Jingyang and Yangzhou, it is better to return to the army early, familiarize yourself with military affairs, and deeply understand the combat strength and tactics of each battalion in the army, so as to prepare for future wars.

Later, Li Li gave Guo Jia some instructions, the focus of which was to prevent Yuan Shao from Jizhou from invading and the situation in Yanzhou from changing.He also granted Guo Jia the right to make decisions on the fly. In the event of a sudden war, he could directly lead Xu Rong's army to attack the enemy without waiting for the general's order.

After everything was settled, it was already the first moment of Shen Shi in the afternoon, and without further delay, the group of people left the Bufu compound and headed for the official road on the other side.After that, Li Li said goodbye to his grandmother Mrs. Lu, Bu Lianshi, Guo Jia and others one by one, then got on his horse and took Lu Su and Huan Fei to Lujiang to live in the nest.However, Guo Jia and Li Zhi's team went against Li Li and set foot on the road back to Sili.

So far, the gate of Bufu's house is locked tightly, and the building is empty.Only Ah Si and the two maids stayed in the backyard to guard Mrs. Bu's tomb. After a hundred days, they could decide whether to stay or not, because Li Li left them a lot of money before he left, which was enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives. .

Chapter 519 Dragon and Tiger Meeting (seeking tickets)

The dawn is dawning, and the sky is clear.

On the official road in Juchao, three fast horses galloped past.

Approaching the city, the three fast horses slowly slowed down and walked slowly towards the city gate.

Seeing that the city was right in front of them, among the three of them, the scribe in green shirt pointed to the two big characters in official script on the gate, and said excitedly: "Brother, the small town ahead is Juchao County, and we will see Gongjin soon! "

Hearing the unspeakable excitement in Lu Su's words, Li Li, who was also wearing a Confucian shirt, had a faint smile on his face.

Looking up at the city wall of Juchao, which is less than two feet high, Li Li's eyes flashed with admiration.

Although this city is a small city with a radius of only ten miles, the total number of soldiers and civilians in the city should not exceed 1.However, the city is well-repaired. There are two archers and a pikeman on each arrow crenel. On the tower, there is a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps. Stand upright and abide by the responsibility of guarding the city.

From the situation in front of us, it is not difficult to see that although Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the chief of the nest, have a low position and a low reputation, and rule only a small county, they have never been negligent and slack, and they have taken advantage of the limited troops, money and food in their hands to bring this small town to life. Governance is in a good shape, with both offense and defense.

This shows that Zhou Gongjin's ability should not be underestimated, and he fully deserves Lu Su's previous praise.

"Zijing has repeatedly praised Zhou Yu's great talent. Judging from the tower in front of him, the city is guarded tightly and the pedestrians are orderly. It shows that Zhou Gongjin is really good, and what Zijing said is true!" Reining in the horse outside the city gate, Li Li looked up at Juchao City Defense, and said with a smile.

Lu Su lightly lifted the reins and rode his horse, walking side by side with Li Li, after hearing the words.He nodded and said: "Brother's words are very true. With Gongjin's ability, he only takes the position of nest leader. He is really overqualified and underutilized. Leaving aside the friendship between the foolish brother and Gongjin, to be honest, if you govern the state and county, With Gongjin's talents, he can manage a state; if he leads an army, he can be the commander of an army and command a hundred thousand soldiers!"

Li Li was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded with a smile. Seeing that Lu Su seemed to have more to say.He immediately nodded to signal Lu Su to continue talking.

After a pause, Lu Su continued: "Three years ago, Sun Jian, the Polu general, was unfortunately ambushed and killed by Huang Zu, the general under Liu Biao of Jingzhou. At that time, Zhou Yu, who was only 17 years old, led his followers to help Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, stabilize the situation. Then he followed Sun Ce to fight for more than a year. He moved to Danyang, Yuzhang and other places, and made great achievements. He helped Sun Ce a lot. Later, Yuan Shu recommended his younger brother Yuan Yin to take over as Danyang prefect. Zhou Yu was forced to live under Yuan Shu's tent with his uncle. Gong Jin had also heard about his talent, and wanted to use it for his own use, but Zhou Yu had already seen that Yuan Shu was not a wise master at that time, and he was unwilling to serve him loyally, so he asked himself to be the head of the nest.

Now, Gongjin has been living in the nest for more than a year.Govern the county, eliminate banditry, train soldiers, and have made remarkable achievements.The reason why Brother Yu wanted to move the Lu family to Juchao.Apart from the good relationship with Gongjin, it is because the law and order here is good and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is indeed a rare place of peace in troubled times. "

"Yeah." Li Li nodded slightly, and said, "I've heard about this too. It is said that Uncle Zhou Yu used to be the prefect of Danyang, but now he has been replaced by Yuan Shu's younger brother Yuan Yin. Now most of the Zhou family has retired to Shu County. Only Zhou Yu was appointed as the head of the nest and tried his best to maintain the family fortune. I wonder if this is true?"

Lu Su looked surprised, nodded and said: "That's right. I didn't expect my brother to know everything about Gongjin's family. It seems that my brother has already prepared, so I can rest assured."

"Zi Jing's words are wrong." Li Li shook his head and said, "Zi Jing and Zhou Yu are close friends, and they must know that Zhou Yu and Sun Polu's son, Sun Ce, are very good friends. I'm quite worried!"

Lu Su's face changed when he heard the words, his eyes became hesitant, and he thought about it and said: "What brother said is true. Gong Jin and Sun Ce have known each other for many years, and they have a deep friendship. I thought, but Sun Ce has repeatedly hit a wall in recent years, and he is unable to protect himself. Now he has been voted under Yuan Shu's tent as a general, and his future is bleak. In comparison, although Gong Jin is currently living in a small county, he is dormant and waiting, watching the world situation Change, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to show your ambition.

Because of this, Brother Yu insisted on inviting his elder brother to come to Juchao to meet Gongjin.From brother Yu's point of view, the elder brother has great talent and strategy, and his martial arts and martial arts are rare in a hundred years. He is indeed the hero of the world.And Gongjin is also a dragon and phoenix among men, well versed in the art of war, versatile in both civil and military affairs, with great ambitions and a broad mind, so he is definitely not something in the pool.Now that my elder brother and Gong Jin meet, it is no different from King Wen meeting Jiang Shang, and Gao Zu gaining Han Xin. With Gong Jin's help, elder brother will be able to establish an inexhaustible career and become an emperor! "

Hearing that Lu Su mentioned King Wen and Jiang Shang, Li Li's expression shook slightly, and he immediately knew that there was something in Lu Su's words. He actually compared Zhou Yu and Jiang Shang, so he should follow the example of King Wen and invite Jiang Taigong three times!

"I understand what Zijing meant, and I will do my best!" Li Li said with a smile.

Immediately, he waved his arm, held the rein in his hand and said, "Let's go, I will wait for the three of you to enter the city immediately, and meet Zhou Yu as soon as possible!"

"Hahaha!" In front of the gate of Juchao County Mansion, a tall, extremely handsome man in brocade robe walked out of the mansion quickly, and his hearty laughter could be heard dozens of steps away.

After a while, I saw him walk up to Lu Su and the three of them, and with a stride, he held the hands of Lu Su who had just dismounted, and said with a loud smile: "Ten days ago, I received a letter from Brother Zijing, and I learned that Zijing was about to go. The whole family moved to live in the nest, so I have ordered my subordinates to tidy up the backyard of the county mansion in the past few days, and wait for Zijing to arrive. I didn't expect Zijing to make me wait so long. I didn't come until today, but now I am Wait until the two brothers finally meet!"

Lu Su laughed happily and said, "It's really Lu Su's fault for bothering Gong Jin to wait for a long time. Please forgive Gong Jin Ya. Hehehe!"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he asked with a smile: "This delay of several days, could it be that Brother Zijing encountered something unexpected along the way?"

"Although there is a small setback, it's not a hindrance." Lu Su explained with a smile: "On the way during this trip, we encountered cavalry under Yuan Shu's tent chasing us, and after escaping from danger, we encountered flooding in a tributary. Naturally, the speed of sailing against the current is slow, so going back and forth will take a lot of time However, it was this small setback that allowed me to meet a peerless hero by chance and become a brother with a different surname."

Speaking of this, Lu Su pulled Zhou Yu towards Li Li, who was a few steps away, and said as he walked, "Look, Gong Jin, this is my elder brother Zheng,,,,,,."

"Li Li, Li Wenchang!" Just as Lu Su was about to say Li Li's pseudonym Zheng Feng, Li Li suddenly interjected.

"Brother, you are..." Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, and was about to ask Li Li why, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Li waved his hand to signal Lu Su not to be surprised, and immediately walked up to Zhou Yu with a big smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Li Li Wenchang, who is from the northern part of Liangzhou, is grateful to Zijing for his elder brother. Please forgive Gongjin Haihan for coming uninvited."

"Your Majesty is General Wei Li Li and Li Wenchang?" Zhou Yu asked suspiciously when he heard the sound change.

Li Li nodded slightly, and said with a modest smile: "No, it is Li Li from Xiliang. In recent years, I have done a little bit of work, and I am grateful to the emperor. Now I am added as the general of the guard, and I will do my best for the emperor. Today I will follow my son. Since you came to visit Gongjin, it's not polite, so please be respectful and don't blame me."

After a moment of distraction, the astonishment on Zhou Yu's face disappeared.Immediately, he glanced at Lu Su meaningfully, then bowed his hands and said: "I don't know that General Wei is in front of him, but Zhou Yu has never greeted him from afar. What an offense, please forgive me!"

"Don't be so polite, Gong Jin, please stand up!" Li Li took half a step forward, supported Zhou Yu with both hands, and said with a smile.

After getting up, Zhou Yu said with a smile: "General Wei's reputation has already shaken the world. Who in the world does not know the king! I am also very impressed. I admire the achievements of the general and look forward to meeting the general one day. No Thinking that the general came to visit us personally today, it really makes the humble house full of splendor, and Zhou Yu is very happy!"

"Gong Jin is too famous, I am ashamed to take it!" Li Li said with a smile and humility.

Zhou Yu waved his hands with a smile and said: "General, don't be too modest. My words and sentences are from the bottom of my heart, and I definitely don't deliberately compliment the general. The world is in chaos today, but General Wei wiped out all the prefectures and counties in Xiliang two years ago. , Since then, he has implemented benevolent government, benefited the people's livelihood, and worked hard to recuperate. Today, all states and counties in the world are full of wars and fighting. Only the general governs the people and the people live and work in peace, which is widely praised by the world. This move is really wise and wise This action allowed the states of Xiliang, which had suffered from wars, to recover. After three to five years, Xiliang would be in great order, with sufficient soldiers and food, and no one in the world could compete with the general.

Therefore, I respect the general very much and regard him as a role model for us, so I naturally deserve this praise. "

Before he finished speaking, he paused for a while, looked at the burly man behind Li Li with a smile on his face, and asked with a smile: "This general is so majestic and strong that I have never seen it in my life. Your name, can you tell me?"

Huan Fei didn't answer immediately after hearing the sound, but looked at the lord Li Li calmly.After seeing Li Li nodding slightly, he stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Yu. Hong Sheng said, "It's Huan Fei Huan Feihu, who is now the commander of the flying bear soldiers under the Lord's command. I have seen Mr. Gong Jin!"

"Mr. Gongjin?" Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard the words, and then laughed heartily: "General Feihu's words are really unique. Compared with the general's majestic body, this body is really weak, and he can only be gentle. A Confucian scholar. In the Battle of Bahe, the Flying Tiger General fought against Wen Hou Lu Bu, and his reputation has been passed down to the world since then. Seeing you today, Zhou Yu is lucky to have three lives!"

After a short pause, Zhou Yu stepped aside a little, opened the way to the main entrance, and stretched out his hand to invite: "General, Zijing and General Flying Tiger are tired, please come to the mansion to rest and serve tea, please!"

Li Li smiled and cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then raised his hand to invite Zhou Yu to go with him. The group of four strode into the gate of the mansion, and followed Zhou Yu straight to the back hall.

Chapter 520

The back hall of the county government.

Near noon, there is a big feast in the hall.

There were only three people in Li Li's party, and Zhou Yu himself was only four people, which was not enough for a big banquet.

However, Zhou Yu summoned several officials from the county government to accompany him, and invited several beautiful maidservants to serve Li Li, Lu Su and Huan Fei to serve Li Li, Lu Su and Huan Fei.

Since then, there are quite a lot of people in the back hall, enough to hold a feast for Li Li and his party.

In addition, Zhou Yu did not disclose Li Li's identity to others, and they were all referred to by their names, so that the subordinate officials had no way of knowing the origins and identities of Li Li and Huan Fei.

However, Lu Su was acquainted with the officials of the county government, so the atmosphere in the hall was very lively and drinking was in full swing.

Half an hour later, the banquet was withdrawn, and all the officials left one after another, but the six beautiful maidservants with excellent looks and figures still stayed in the hall, standing behind Li Li and Li Li, making tea and serving them.
