King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 177 The Weird Simpi
Wang Lie immediately put on a posture to see off the guests, but Xin Pi did not intend to say more, but bowed deeply to Li Lin and said, "Minggong, I will stay in Leyang for a few more days!"

Li Lin turned his head and didn't look at him, waved his hands, and said angrily, "Whatever you like to say is none of my business, don't forget that you have to pay for the meal!" Xin Pi smiled wryly, and slowly backed out.

Wang Lie sent Simpi away, and when he came back, he asked Li Lin strangely, "What does this Simpi mean?"

Li Lin was also puzzled, and said, "I don't understand, this Simpi is here as a lobbyist, so why don't I refuse it so simply?"

Wang Lie said meaningfully, "Master, there must be something wrong with this matter!" Li Lin also nodded.

Sure enough, Li Lin, who was about to pack his luggage and leave at night, reported that it was Simpi's visit. When Li Lin heard about it, he was very confused about this person. What is this kid doing at night?He was going to find someone to send him away, but the servant said, "Master, this person specially ordered that he didn't come tonight for the day's business!"

"Oh? What does this kid mean?" Li Lin thought for a while, and finally looked at what medicine he bought in this Simpi gourd, and said to the servant, "Okay, let him go to the front hall!"

Li Lin strolled to the front hall, and Simpi was already waiting there. Li Lin said, "Oh? Mr. George, what's the purpose of your late-night visit?"

Simpi smiled at Li Lin, "Hehe, General Li, I'm ashamed of my pocket, so I don't have money to taste the delicacies of Liaozhou, so I had to come to General Li's mansion to ask for a bite of hot food."

Li Lin looked at Xin Pi, and what he said didn't seem to be a lie. Li Lin wondered, "Damn it, your master is really stingy?"Your travel expenses are so little?Depend on!You even come to me to beg for food, but I am a dignified state shepherd, why would you be shameless if you come to me to beg for food? If I don’t give it to you, wouldn’t it be even more shameless? I'm going to lose my life, I still want to mess around here!
Li Lin said unhappily, "Mr. George, it's too late, so there are only some scraps left at home. I don't know if you can eat it?"

Simpi smiled and said, "Hehe, leftovers are enough, and wine is good!"

Li Lin's black line, your mother, it's the first time I saw a beggar who wants to drink, since I've given you food, it's not bad from any kind of wine, I'll let you try the high-quality wine I made myself , Li Lin immediately ordered people to say, "Heat the leftovers from the evening and bring them here, and then bring the wine from the cellar at home."

"No!" The servant immediately went down to prepare, and Xin Pi cupped his hands and bowed to Li Lin, "Thank you, General Li!"

Li Lin had no choice but to smile and said, "Hehe, Mr. George, sit around for a while, and the food will be served in a while!"

Simpi sat down, and Li Lin said, "Sir, take it easy again. If you have nowhere to live at night, you can stay overnight at the mansion. The servant will prepare a room for you. I have something to do. Let's go!" Li Lin said like going back.

Simpi sat there, squinting his eyes and said, "General Li, do you think I really came here to beg for a bite of food?"

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and turned around and said, "Hehe, I also think that you are a dignified Jizhou businessman and you want to come here to ask for a bite of food?"

Simpi smiled and said, "General Li met with a certain one for the first time today, but he was definitely very confused. I am the envoy of Yuan Shao, and I asked General Li to go back to the five cities, but after I told General Li about the conditions, General Li refused. He left without further explanation, isn't such a lobbyist too incompetent?"

Li Lin nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. George must have something to tell me about his visit late at night, please tell me quickly, sir!"

Simpi waved his hands and said, "No hurry, no hurry, I'm really hungry, so let's wait until the food is served!"

Seeing Xin Pi like this, Li Lin couldn't see through it more and more, so he simply did it. Anyway, now that he has nothing else, he has plenty of time, so Li Lin just stared at Xin Pi with wide-eyed eyes.

After a while, the servants brought food, wine and meat, and Xin Pi smiled and said, "I wonder if General Li can have a drink with XX."

Although Li Lin was unwilling in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Okay! Yes!"

Asking someone to bring a glass and pour a glass of wine, Simpi raised his glass and said to Li Lin, "Thank you General Li for your hospitality, I respect General Li!"

Li Lin raised his glass and drank with Simpi. After drinking a glass, Li Lin's wine was not low in alcohol. Simpi's face turned red even after drinking a glass. Xinpi touched his lips with pleasure and said, "Ha When we arrived in Youzhou, everyone said that only the wine brewed by General Li’s mansion is the best, and it was indeed a good wine after tasting it today!”

Li Lin smiled and said, "Mr., you are being polite. I just used some ingenious methods. After all, sir, what is the purpose of finding someone late at night?"

Xin Piyou poured himself a cup, drank it, and said quietly, "General Li, those five cities..."

Li Lin immediately stopped and said, "If you still talk about the daytime incident, then there is no need to talk about it. A certain daytime has already made it very clear!"

Simpi went on to say, "I know that General Li will not return those five cities. Tian Feng and Jushou have never been to Liaozhou, so I don't know the majesty of General Li. After I arrived in Liaozhou, I really understood the power of Liaozhou. The general is Jie Xiong, they thought that General Li would be moved by the interests and returned the city that was already far away, now it seems to me that General Li will definitely not give up the very important city without a seat!"

Li Lin was puzzled, did this kid drink too much, why did he still talk to me, you came to ask for the city, did you get it wrong?Li Lin wondered, "Sir, what does this mean?"

Simpi still said to himself, "General Li, look, these five cities, the two cities in Hejian, where do you send your troops to unite with King Fanyang's gate, but directly collect the three counties of Hejian, Zhongshan, and Changshan, and the three counties of Hejian, and the two cities of Hejian. The three cities of Bohai can be collected directly from Bohai and the two counties of Leling, and the soldiers are heading towards Qingzhou. If the second line starts at the same time, most of Jizhou will be in hand. At that time, even if Yuan Shao comes with a large army, General Li can also It's easy to resist, as long as you eat away at every step, within five years, I believe that Yuan Shao will definitely be destroyed by General Li!"

Li Lin couldn't help being surprised, "This..." Li Lin said with his eyes widened.

Xin Pi smiled and said, "Hehe, has General Li heard that from somewhere?"

Li Lin pointed to Xin Pi and asked, "Could it be that you know Tian Yu, Tian Guorang!"

Xin Pi waved his hand and said, "Hehe, a certain has lived in Jizhou all the year round, and Tian Yu is from Youzhou, how could he know him, General Li, don't make wild guesses, isn't this Tian Yu who said the same thing to a certain?"

Li Lin nodded dully, and said, "It's almost the same as what Mr. said, with only a little deviation!"

Simpi heard, "Oh? What's the difference?"

Li Lin said, "After Tian Yu asked me to get the northern part of Jizhou, I would lead the cavalry to approach Yuan Shao's ruling city, Yecheng. As long as Yuan Shao dies, the Jizhou, Bingzhou, and half of Qingzhou controlled by Yuan Shao will surely collapse. Can get Bingzhou and Jizhou, two big states!"

Xin Pi smiled and said, "Hehe, this Tian Guorang is indeed a great talent, but he is still younger, and with the knowledge of Jizhou's situation, it is true that Yuan Shao is a bit stupid, but if he is wise, he is one of the best smart people in the world. It's just that the reaction to the score was slower, so General Li was able to raid the northern counties of Jizhou, but as long as Yuan Shao reacted, it would definitely not be easy to continue the fight. He could only erode the best strategy step by step. They are childhood friends, but the more this is the case, the greater the competition between the two, maybe Cao Cao will respond to General Li and send troops from Qingzhou to attack Yuan Shao, so the General Li mentioned by Tian Yu can win Bingzhou and Jizhou It is sincere!"

Li Lin was horrified, was this kid talking nonsense?Come here during the day today, call yourself Minggong, call yourself Lord Yuan Shao, now you are General Li, and Yuan Shao, just call yourself the name of the Lord, I am afraid, it is a big treason!

Li Lin asked in surprise, "Sir, what do you mean, tell me quickly!"

Xinpi said, "General Li, let me tell you again, that Tian Feng and Ju Shou advocated that Yuan Shao should rest his troops to support the people, and deal with Liu Yu and General Li in a few years, while Guo Tu and Xu You all hope that Yuan Shao We can take advantage of the situation and make a massive attack to take Youzhou and Liaozhou!"

As soon as Li Lin heard it, damn it, aren't these all great counselors in history, Yuan Shao's team members, they started to plot against me so soon!Li Lin asked, "Then, what do you think, sir?"

Simpi laughed and said, "Hehe, if someone has never been to Liaozhou, he must think that Yuan Shao must be several times stronger than Liu Yu and General Li if he has been training for three years. It is to make Liu Yu and General Li's strength closer to him, I estimate that within three years, General Li's strength will definitely be able to compete with Yuan Shao."

Li Lin smiled and said, "Hehe, thank you sir for trusting me. Also, if Yuan Shao is attacking now, my uncle and I will definitely be unable to resist. Youzhou and Liaozhou will most likely become Yuan Shao's territory, but Since Yuan Shao sent Mr. here, he must have adopted Tian Feng and Ju's advice, cultivated himself, and wanted to accumulate strength to plot against Youzhou and Liaozhou in the future!"

Simpi nodded, "Exactly!"

Li Lin no longer felt any surprise in his heart. Li Lin who had calmed down, his eyes brightened, and he asked with an evil smile, "Then Mr. has talked so much with XX, why?"

Xin Pi smiled and said, "Hehe, hasn't General Li heard it yet?"

Li Lin said, "Sir, don't you want to betray your master?"

Xin Pi said, "This is not a betrayal. I am a subordinate of Jizhou Shepherd Han Fu. I didn't expect that Yuan Shao would have the support of the Jizhou family. In addition to Yuan Shao's status as the fourth generation and third prince and elite soldiers, he won Jizhou. I am Betrayed, but it wasn't Yuan Shao, it was Han Fu!"
