Staring wide-eyed at the graceful, fair-skinned and delicate beauty standing next to him, all the mighty generals suddenly felt like a dream, and couldn't help but reveal the pig brother's look.Seeing this scene, Li Li couldn't laugh or cry. He felt very humiliated, and said to himself: "This bunch of stupid, black and thick guys are really worthless. I, Li Li, are ashamed to follow you!"

Having said that, Li Li is actually very happy in his heart, and he is sincerely happy for these kind, righteous and strong men.From today onwards, they all have families and careers. They are no longer reckless heroes with no roots and no prosperity, but leading generals with families and careers.Since ancient times, the battlefield is the most ruthless and cruel. No matter how brave a general is, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not die on the battlefield.This also includes Li Li himself.

Fighting for supremacy in troubled times, killing is inevitable.

Right now, the two prefectures of Xiliang have not yet been completely pacified, and they still need to continue to conquer and suppress the princes of Liangzhou.In the future, when the Xiliang army competes in the Central Plains, the fighting will become more intense, and they will encounter more tyrannical enemy generals and unpredictable battle situations.

The future is really uncertain, good or bad is unpredictable.

Therefore, Li Li held back when he expelled the eunuchs and maids from the palace.On the surface, he was resentful of the eunuchs playing power in the palace and the overcrowding of palace women, so he expelled them all from the palace.In fact, he secretly took in most of the eunuchs and court ladies, put them under house arrest, starved their bodies and tortured their minds, and waited until they really surrendered, then trained them strictly, and then incorporated them into the espionage team and sent them to the Central Plains Act as eyeliner among the powers of the princes in various states and counties.

However, it will take a long time, because it is very easy for them to bow their heads to recognize the Lord, and they will kneel and submit as soon as they meet; easy.In this regard, Li Li is very confident.Because he firmly believes that everyone has the instinct to survive and fear, as long as they have enough patience and perseverance to torture them repeatedly, these eunuchs will eventually surrender completely, and they will not dare to forget them in their lives.

This kind of method is very despicable, and Li Li himself very much rejects this low-level method.However, in troubled times, there is no kindness at all. This is a naked society where people kill and eat people.The winner is the prince and the loser is the thief. Any means can be used. Whoever can have the last laugh is the winner. Whoever can write history, discredit the opponent, and beautify himself.

Amidst the drums, zither and vocal music, the marriage ceremony in Meiwu City lasted until late at night, and it was not until the crescent moon was in the sky that everyone dispersed.However, this unique and grand ceremony did not invite a Korean official. The people who participated in the wedding were all the former Wuwei Army and Li Li's generals, and there was no "outsider" at the scene.

After all, this matter should not be publicized, and it is a treasonous thing to risk the disgrace of the world to reward the concubines of the generals as wives and concubines in a fair manner.Once it is spread, Li Li will bear even more infamy than Dong Zhuo, and will be accused by all husbands, and his reputation will spread far and wide.Therefore, many people at the wedding scene didn't know where these young beauties came from, and even the generals who married wives and concubines didn't know about it.Huan Fei's former Huxiao battalion soldiers are now among the Jinyi Guards, and they are Li Li's direct soldiers. Naturally, these soldiers can keep their mouths shut.Since then, apart from Li Li and his six wives, there are only a handful of people who know about this matter, only Jia Xu, Li Xuan, Li Ru, Huan Fei and Li Zhi.

That's it.

The generals married this time covered almost all the main generals under Li Li's command. Among them, the commanders and deputy commanders of each battalion had declined, and all of them had a share. Even Jia Xu, whose son was in his 20s, took a concubine.The only exception is Li Ru, who was a rare strict wife in the late Han Dynasty.Coupled with his own fertility problems, he is in his 30s and has nothing to show so far. Miss Dong Jiasan can tolerate his unspeakable secrets and is willing to bear the reputation of infertility.Faced with such a tolerant wife, Li Ru has enough wishes, he has no attachment to beauty, and is willing to stay with his first wife for a lifetime.

However, the matter of Li Ru's infertility is not a secret to the generals of the Xiliang Army and the officials of the court. Even many princes in the world know about his old illness.Because, when Dong Zhuo recommended him to serve as the permanent servant of the Central Committee, he revealed the matter in public in the court, so many people in the court knew that Li Ru was in poor health.

Because of this, Li Li promised that Dong Wan's second child would worship Li Ru as a foster father in front of Jia Xu and Li Xuan.But instead of feeling resentful, Li Ru burst into tears of gratitude on the spot, too excited to speak.

In other words, Li Ru is full of talent and intelligence, and assists Dong Zhuoxiong to dominate the world with his own wisdom.Such a great talent, but he has always behaved submissively, because of his physical illness, he always felt inferior to others, and was extremely unconfident.Especially when facing the majestic and burly generals, he was particularly sensitive and timid, and he was still unable to hold his chest up and be a man.

And it is not bad for such a handicapped person to be able to leave a mark in the history books, unless he is Sima Qian who compiled "Historical Records", he can be famous in history.

The next day, the weather changed suddenly.

As soon as the rising sun appeared, it was covered by dark clouds all over the sky, and the sky became gloomy and gloomy.

Longxiang Li Mansion.

This is the mansion that Dong Zhuo rewarded Li Li more than a year ago. It occupies a very large area. There are hundreds of houses in the courtyard.Prior to this, the mansion was wrecked by Lu Bu's troops and it was dilapidated.Now, after thousands of craftsmen rushed to repair overnight, it has finally restored its former appearance, even more majestic than before.

In the main hall, Li Li and Li Jue sat facing each other.

A pot of hot tea was placed on the table between the two of them. The boiling water in the pot was bubbling and boiling, and a strong tea fragrance was released, wafting in the empty lobby.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

Li Li poured a cup of hot tea unhurriedly, and handed it to Li Jue with both hands. After Li Jue took the tea cup, he poured another cup for himself.

"Uncle, please drink tea. It is best to drink tea while it is [-]% hot. When it is [-]% hot, the tea will become a bit bitter, and it will continue to change color after that. The tea is astringent and bitter, which is not good for the body and mind. It is not suitable to drink again. Uncle please . " Li Li picked up the teacup calmly, and Li Li explained softly.

Taking a sip of tea, Li Jue put down the teacup, stared at Li Li with both eyes, and said softly, "You are more outstanding than I imagined. A new generation replaces an old one, and the Li family has successors. Between us uncles and nephews, When I was your age, I was a ranger with a five-foot sword in my hand, and I was far inferior to you; now that decades have passed in a blink of an eye, I am almost forty years old, but I am still not as good as you."

"Uncle is self-effacing, and praises my nephew too much." Li Li smiled lightly, and continued: "My nephew's prosperity today is all due to my uncle's hard work and hard work for many years. This kind of kindness, my nephew will never forget in his life." Forget. Last year, my nephew was ordered to take up the post in Wuwei County. My uncle not only left the Longxiang camp to me, but also secretly funded the money and food. Without the help of my uncle, how could my nephew live to this day. Therefore, the relationship between me and my uncle There will never be any personal grievances, only the uncle's great kindness to his nephew. In the Chang'an chaos, it was the nephew who failed the uncle, and the younger nephew is willing to plead guilty, please punish the uncle!"

After speaking, Li Li knelt down on both knees, bowed his head in shame, and bowed his head.

"You,,,,,," Li Li's move really surprised Li Jue, so much so that his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Li Li in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, let alone the 30 soldiers in his hand. Li Li, Marquis of Wuwei, who was so powerful in the world, actually knelt down to him.

After a long while of bewilderment, Li Jue finally woke up, his eyes gradually softened, and he looked at Li Li with a feeling of closeness and comfort.

"Get up quickly, don't let outsiders see, otherwise you will not be able to command the army in the future." Li Jue stood up and helped Li Li, although his words were taught in a tone, but the tone was full of love.

"My nephew, I would like to thank my uncle for his generosity. Regardless of the past, please sit down, uncle." After getting up, Li Li bowed and asked Li Jue to take a seat first.

Li Li bent down and knelt down, dispelling the long-standing knots in Li Jue's chest, and instantly disappeared the many barriers between the uncle and nephew. .

Chapter 339

"boom!"

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder bursts, and thunder pierced the sky.

"click"

A white lightning flashed across the sky, roaring with the gust of wind, and rolled up dust all over the sky.

Lightning and thunder roared in the world.

Longxiang Li Mansion.

In the main hall, Li Li and Li Jue had a happy chat.

Listening to the howling wind and thunder outside the door, the two uncles and nephews drank tea and had a conversation, which felt like sitting on a fishing boat despite the wind and waves.

Just now when Li Li knelt on his knees, Li Jue was really shocked and moved.

Based on Li Li's current strength and status alone, there are almost no people in the world who can make him kneel and worship, not even the emperor who is high above the court.In addition, Li Li's parents had passed away long ago, and when he was 16 years old, he brought his younger brother Li Xian and dozens of domestic servants to be kicked out by Li Jue's official wife, Yang Shi. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo rewarded him with a house, so that he could have a place to live and live, and since then set up another family.Based on this fact alone, the relationship between Li Li and Li Jue's uncle and nephew has already broken down. If they parted ways with Li Li, the world would not make irresponsible remarks or criticize themselves.

Today, Li Li holds an army of 30 from Xiliang, holds the emperor in his palm, and is powerful and powerful.The military and political power are all under his control, and his prestige and strength are not much less than those of Dong Zhuo in the past, even worse, and his deterrent power to the princes of the world is far better than that of Dong Zhuo before.Because Li Liyuan is younger than Dong Zhuo, but his actual power is not inferior to that of Dong Zhuo before him.From this, it is not difficult to imagine that Li Li has a bright future, and Dong Zhuo's unfinished business is very likely to be realized in his hands and dominate the world.

The most important thing is that Li Li's control over the Xiliang Army is far better than that of Dong Zhuo. The 30 Xiliang Army was completely disrupted and reorganized, but none of the generals dared to resist, making the entire reorganization process extremely smooth.It only took half a month to announce the completion of the whole army.For such a huge and arduous army-building operation, even if Dong Zhuo was alive, he did not have such a big heart, nor did he have such a strong self-confidence, nor did he fully grasp the strength of the army.

Because although Dong Zhuo was the supreme commander of the Xiliang Army before his death, he at most occupied the title of commander, and none of the generals under his command opposed his orders face to face, but how to implement the military orders was difficult to satisfy Dong Zhuo.In fact, Dong Zhuo did not have full control over the Xiliang Army.Some generals who hold heavy troops are only attached to his command in name, obeying others and acting on their own; for example, the guards of Huayin, Duan Yan and Fan Chou, are typical representatives among them.And Dong Zhuo naturally knew that the generals under his command had their own thoughts, but in order to maintain the stability of the Xiliang Army, he would not cause internal strife and division.I have been keeping a low profile, keeping one eye open and one eye closed.As long as these generals who obey their orders obey their orders.Without a clear-cut rebellion, he just let it go and didn't want to go to war.

It is precisely because of Dong Zhuo's connivance that Xiliang's generals are getting stronger day by day, and then they form a trend that cannot be lost.As soon as Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang generals were out of control.Each has their own ghosts, relying on the soldiers and horses in their hands, waiting for a price, and coveting the power of worshiping generals and marquises.Some people even attempted to ascend to Dong Zhuo's former power and status.

It is difficult for outsiders to understand the ups and downs of this superficially peaceful situation, but it is actually intrigue. However, Li Jue, as the nominal commander of the Xiliang Army, is in it, constrained and suffering.

However, now the Xiliang Army has been completely subdued by Li Li.With one order, hundreds of thousands of troops broke up and reorganized into a new army.With Li Li's boldness and mind, Li Jue is worthy of it. In addition, he admires Li Li's powerful strength and brilliant skills.During the process of reorganizing the army, Li Li apparently did not participate in the reorganization of the army. In fact, he went to the major military camps in person, ate and slept with ordinary soldiers, mingled with each other, and won the support of most of the soldiers invisibly.Li Li stayed in the barracks for half a month, and his prestige in the army grew day by day, which directly prompted some middle and low-level generals in the army to show signs of resisting reorganization, and they were quickly wiped out, making it difficult for resistance forces to form. The weather was silently submerged in the vigorous army movement.

The completion of the reorganization of the army also means that Li Li's intention to control the entire army has been realized.The main generals of the ten main battalions of the entire army are almost all the generals under Li Li's command. With absolute dominance.This reorganization of the army can be said to be worthy of the name. The Wuwei Army merged with the Xiliang Army to form a new army completely under Li Li's orders.

During the half-month military campaign, Li Jue stayed out of the matter completely, stayed in the mansion to cultivate his health, and studied behind closed doors.However, it is difficult to escape his eyes and ears for major and minor affairs in the army. Every day, detailed general information is reported to him, so he knows the situation of the entire army like the palm of his hand.It was precisely because he knew everything about the situation in the army that he was filled with righteous indignation, depressed, and restless.Because Li Li incorporated almost all Xiliang Army, including his direct descendants of Li Jue, none of them remained, and all of them were incorporated into the new army.What made him the most indignant was that there was no place for Li Jue in the new army, and he seemed to be excluded, making him, the well-known general of Xiliang, actually a poor general, with only the name of a general. There is no soldier under his command.

For this reason, during this period of time, Li Jue has a very irritable temper, often gets angry for no reason, doesn't think about food and drink, and can't sleep at night.

However, there are pros and cons to everything.

After this period of silence, while depressed, Li Jue's mentality also changed, and he began to face up to himself and Li Li, and occasionally self-examination.After correcting his mentality, he found that he had done many things wrong, the biggest mistake of which was that he should not have challenged his nephew Li Li, let alone coveted the position of power left by Dong Zhuo.If the Xiliang army really fell into Li Jue's hands, then he would definitely not be able to reorganize the army as drastically as Li Li, let alone completely subdue Guo Si, Duan Yan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others.If this is the case, then the Xiliang Army can only maintain stability on the surface for the time being, but the open and secret struggles among the generals in the army cannot be eradicated.Instead of this, it is better to hand over the army to his nephew Li Li. Anyway, the uncle and nephew are relatives. After Li Li takes charge of the army, he will never tolerate his uncle.

In this way, Li Jue felt sorry for his nephew Li Li after learning from the pain.If it wasn't for his selfishness, he would have too much desire for power.There will be no full-scale decisive battle between the two armies.If there was no battle in the southern suburbs, the 30 Xiliang soldiers would not have died in vain, and the Xiliang army after the reorganization would not be 40, but [-] troops.It's a pity that the war that could have been avoided finally happened. The big mistake has already been made, and it is too late to regret.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

Outside the main hall, after lightning and thunder, heavy rain arrived as expected.

In the hall, Li Jue listened intently to Li Li's recounting of recent trivia in the inner palace.Appears absent-minded, out of mind.

Suddenly, Li Li paused, and said with a smile, "Uncle, my nephew has something to report to you. Xin'er, Yu'er and Wan'er are already pregnant. Uncle will be an uncle in the spring of next year! Hehehe"
