Danyang County, Chungu County, on the banks of the Yangtze River, in a pavilion.

Wang Li picked up a white piece on the chessboard and looked at Jia Xu and Xu Shu and said, "Wenhe, Yuan Zhi, do you think Yuan Shu can succeed?"

"No!" Jia Xu and the others looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Li gently placed the chess piece in his hand in a corner, raised his head and asked, "Oh? Why? With Yuan Shu and Bian Zhuang's plan to stab the tiger, now that Cao Cao and Lu Bu are both injured, isn't it a great opportunity for him to be a big shot?"

Jia Xu looked at the chessboard and shook his head, and smiled and said, "The mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind him. When King Helu of Wu planned to attack the Yue Kingdom, a young man advised him: There is a big tree in the courtyard, and a cicada lying on the trunk.

The cicada chirped on the trees every day, but did not know that the mantis behind him were staring at him. The mantis was shaking his wings, but did not know that the oriole had been waiting for the big meal to come to his door automatically. The oriole was proud of himself, and ignored me and was still behind him.

The cicada, mantis, and oriole are all concerned about the present, wanting to get small profits in front of you, and regardless of the disasters behind you. Just like today's situation, Lu Bu wants to kill Cao Cao and be quick. Cao Cao only has Lu Bu and others in his eyes, but they all do not know that Yuan Shu is still watching the tiger behind him, and he has bad intentions.

Unfortunately, Yuan Shu thought he was planning, but forgot that his brother Yuan Shao from Jizhou also urgently hoped to get the pseudo-emperor. Yuan Shao was regretting because his lord "used the emperor to command the princes" and the pseudo-emperor's edict was right. If Jia did not make any mistakes, Yuan Shao's army to Dingtao to welcome the pseudo-emperor must have also come to Dingtao!"

Wang Li was about to make a bet with Jia Xu, and a swelling sound sounded outside the pavilion. Zhao Hu walked in with a piece of paper in his hand, and lowered his ears in Wang Li, as if a thunder almost knocked Wang Li to a burnt outside and tender inside.

"Yuan Shao sent Shen Pei, Yan Liang, Ju Yi and Zhang Nan to lead a 15,000 army from Baimajin to cross the river to Dingtao to welcome the pseudo emperor. When the war happened, Yuan's army was as powerful as a tiger, and he had already retreated Cao Cao and Ji Ling.

Cao Cao and Ji Ling were defeated and retreated to Juancheng and Dangshan respectively! However, Cao Cao retreated to Juancheng and attacked Puyang with all his might. Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were defeated. On the same day, Zhang Miao and Wang Kai went out of the city to rescue him, and Wang Kai died in battle. Dingtao had no reinforcements to send, so Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew turned to Cao Cao's sect."

The battle in Yanzhou has come to an end for the time being!

Wang Li handed the note in his hand to Jia Xu and sighed: "It seems that the battle in Yanzhou has come to an end. However, if you count it carefully, it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's three families who make profits, and Lu Bu's family loses a lot of money!"

Jia Xu nodded and turned the note to Xu Shu: "Yes, Cao Cao's territory has neither expanded nor decreased. He lost a Cai Yang and more than a dozen captains and deputy generals in the army, but obtained Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and more than 10,000 elite soldiers.

Yuan Shu took advantage of the situation to rob and sent troops to Yuzhou. Although two or three thousand soldiers were injured, Cao Cao and Lu Bu almost destroyed. The two armies were greatly damaged, laying a solid foundation for their plan to invade Yanzhou and unify the Central Plains in the future."

"However, compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao made a fortune. Not only did he retreat Yuan Shu's troops in one fell swoop, he aggravated his impression in the mind of the Reform Emperor, but he also greatly intimidated Cao Cao, Lu Bu and others. It is impossible to say that when the Reform Emperor would automatically enter Jizhou and join Yuan Shao's net." Xu Shu hurriedly read it and sent the note back to Wang Li.

Wang Li took the note and laughed: "Let's go, Yuan Shu and the Emperor of Reform are ready to move, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are too busy to take care of themselves, Yuan Shao is out of reach for the time being, and it's time for us to set off for Moling and Xia Pi!"

...

When Wang Li took Jia Xu and Zhao Yun and others passed through Moling and sneaked into Xia Pi in batches, it was only ten days before the Buddha Bath Festival.

It is different from the Xiangfan, Lujiang, and Chungu that Wang Li passed by.

If Xiangfan and other places can see more or less a little cloud of war

If you say that, then you will definitely not see any panic caused by Cao Cao's heavy pressure some time ago. All you see is the "peace", "happiness", "stability" and "tranquility" on people's faces that seem from the inside out.

This place has become a Buddha's country. Even the thugs outside the largest "Silver Hook Gambling House" in Xia Pi City are no longer as fierce as they usually have, and there is a "kind" smile on their faces.

Unfortunately, the buns have meat but not on the folds. Behind the "kind" smile, the cold-blooded gambling shop and the madman of gamblers are still there.

Wang Li is now in the Yinhook Gambling House, or he is accompanied by his future leader Gan Ning.

The inside and outside of the gambling house are completely different. More than a dozen gambling tables are lined up in the hall, and hundreds of people gather around the gambling tables. The 100 people are hysterical and shouting, and their faces are also filled with indescribable emotions, but this emotion is definitely not the kindness that the Buddha country should have, but is indifferent, excited, greedy, and even fanatic.

These people are standard gamblers. They don’t even have Wang Li in their eyes. They only have sex on the gambling table, Pai Jiu, copper coins and gold, silver and jewelry.

Of course, Wang Li didn't need them to greet him, and the greeting person had already greeted him.

The person who came was naturally a gambling prostitute in a gambling house. The so-called gambling prostitute is a brothel who can no longer rely on beauty alone in a brothel, so he had to actively develop his own business and shuttle through the brothel woman in a gambling house.

They both sell their skills and their bodies.

The gambling prostitute was wearing exposed clothes, her jade-ripped cloud hair was drunk and her hair was covered with eyes and a red dress, like a butterfly floating around in the casino. Although it was the cold spring in March, it still showed an unfathomable gully. Seeing the crisp sounds of Wang Li and the other two, she heard from afar: "Two masters, are you having fun with you?"

Unfortunately, Wang Li and the others are not here to have fun, they are here to find the owner.

If they wanted to know Zhi'er's news, they could only appear in the places of all religions and all kinds of religions. Therefore, Jia Xu and Xu Shu went to the brothel, and Zhao Yun and his wife went to the restaurant and teahouse, so they could only go to the gambling house.

What is interesting is that in Ditingying Jiangdongtang’s narration of “Silver Gou Gambling House”, there is a sentence: a storm and cloud record, all the characters in the Jianghuai River. To put it bluntly, this Silver Gou Gambling House is also an intelligence agency that sells information from the world.

Gan Ning shook his hand, took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and threw them to the gambling prostitute: "I won't look for you anymore, please find me the owner here!"

"This master, the real body of the shop owner is not that easy to see. Why don't you go and see the real body of my family?" The gambling prostitute grabbed the copper coins and looked at Gan Ning's thick and strong body, and water was almost dripping from his eyes. The apricot fingers passed by Gan Ning's palm and chest like dragonflies.

Gan Ning laughed and pinched the gambler's fat buttocks and the softness on his chest: "Your real body is here to come to you in the evening. I want to see the owner's true face now!"

The gambling prostitute looked at Gan Ning with a smile: "Is he from a foreigner? Don't you know the rules of the owner?"

"What rules?"

"If you want to meet the owner, you must bet on the bet and win the sheep-winner, so that the winner can get along with the owner!"

"Haha, your lord is His Majesty now?"

"no!"

"Then your lord is a famous prostitute in the world?"

"Not it!"

"Since your master is nothing, his pomp is even bigger than His Majesty and the famous prostitutes in the world today? He really treats himself as a corner!"

Gan Ning frowned and his anger gradually rose. However, Wang Li had already come forward and nodded to the gambling prostitute: "Accommodating to the countryside, since this is the rule of your lord, it is not convenient for us to break the rules from afar. Please lead the way forward!"

With gambling prostitutes coming in the gambling house

After walking back, I quickly arrived at a pavilion deep in the gambling house. There was only a monk with his back facing the gate in the pavilion, but there was a big table, with thirty-two cards and six colored pieces neatly on the table.

Wang Li looked at the monk in surprise: "Are you a sheep driving?"

The monk didn't look back: "I am the one! Where are the distinguished guests coming from and where do you want to go?"

"From wherever you come, go wherever you go!" Wang Li sat down opposite the monk. The two of them seemed to greet someone, and naturally, it was natural.

The gambling prostitute quietly closed the door and walked out. The monk turned around and saw that the monk had a bitter face and eight eyebrows. A scar from his chin to the depths of his clothes, and his left arm was broken at the same root. His royal blue eyes seemed to see through the worldly love.

Although the monk's expression was dull, Wang Li's heart was filled with shocking waves! Didn't this person die in Luoyang? Why did he appear in front of him again?

Wang Li calmed down and looked at the monk with his eyes fixed on him: "Dare you ask the master's name?"

The monk smiled: "Where do monks still remember the names of lay people? I am a monk's Dharma name Luo!"

Wang Li showed a sarcastic look on his face, but he pressed step by step: "The body, hair and skin are affected by his parents, but his name is received by his ancestors and his family. The master is indeed a true monk, and he even forgot his name completely!

Unfortunately, many things may be forgotten by the master, but Wang still remembers them. It is really ridiculous!"

"The Buddha said: Form is emptiness, emptiness is color. Remembering means not remembering, not remembering means remembering. Why should General Wang be obsessed with the past?" The monk clasped his hands at Wang Li and bowed.

General Wang? He actually knows himself? It seems that he is indeed this person!

Wang Li smiled coldly and did not accept the monk's kindness at all: "The yellow sand carriage and horses are far away, and Luo Ni is walking into Yu Pass! Master Luo, no, Tang Zhou! You may have forgotten the past, but do you think Wang can forget the wronged souls who died under your hands in Ji, Yan, Qingshu?"

It turns out that this monk is actually Tang Zhou!

Tang Zhou, the Yellow Turban Traitor who escaped from Zhang Jiao's life that day!

"If you want to know the past life, the recipients of this life. If you want to know the result of this life, the authors of this life!" Tang Zhou pointed his only right hand at his cheek and broken arm: "Yesterday's cause, today's result. I have already received retribution. General Wang doesn't want to let me go?"

"Let you go? If you just cut off one arm and then the ancient Buddha green lamp will be able to get rid of the injustice of tens of thousands of people. Tang Zhou, are you thinking too simple!"

"Of course not, but if General Wang comes for the sake of the poor monk, I will naturally have nothing to say. But if it is for the sake of the master, please calm down for a while. After you have met the master, I will let General Wang deal with it!"

Wang Li raised his eyebrows, tried hard to suppress the violent beating of his face's muscles, and looked at Tang Zhou with cold eyes: "How can I meet the owner?"

Tang Zhou pushed Paijiu and Sezi on the desk to Wang Li: "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a square. Since this is the Silver Hook Gambling House, of course you have to follow the rules of my Silver Hook Gambling House to meet the owner!"

"What rules?"

"Go to win the poor monk!"

Wang Li's eyes narrowed into a line: "Can monks gamble?"

Tang Zhou nodded: "Monks can also kill people!"
