Just now, in the discussion of the commander-in-chief, Li Li formally appointed Zhou Yu as the chief general to sit in charge of the central army and take full charge of the upcoming expedition. He could make all military affairs decisions by himself, and gave Zhou Yu the right to dispatch troops and rewards and punishments.In addition, Fazheng was appointed as the chief secretary of the commander's mansion, responsible for straightening out the government affairs of Beidi County and the dispatch of grain and grass supply in the rear, and Lu Su was the frontline chief bookkeeper, assisting Zhou Yu in the battle against Yufuluo's defeated army and the Southern Huns.

After the commander-in-chief's discussion was over, Zhang Liao hurriedly followed the commander Li Zhi back to the Jinyiwei garrison in the east, and then walked into the chief general's tent.

After entering the tent, Li Zhi casually sat on the upper left side of the tent, and raised his hand to signal Zhang Liao to sit beside him.Before waiting for the bill, the soldiers offered hot tea, Li Zhi waved his hand to signal the soldiers to retreat, poured Zhang Liao a cup of hot tea with his own hands, and handed it to Zhang Liao.

"Thank you, Commander." Zhang Liao hurriedly thanked him, but when he was about to get up to salute, Li Zhi raised his hand to stop him.

"Wen Yuan is welcome." Li Zhi nodded to Zhang Liao to drink tea, and said softly, "I invited Wen Yuan to come here today, but I wanted to apologize to Wen Yuan in person, please forgive me."

"Why did the commander say that? The general is stupid and doesn't know what the commander said, why should he apologize to his subordinates?" Zhang Liao asked in surprise with a stunned expression.

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, with a rare smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan is really generous and generous, which is admirable, but I still want to apologize to Wen Yuan for the battle between the barbarians two days ago."

"This,,, the commander is too worried." Zhang Liao's expression changed slightly, he looked up at Li Zhi, raised his hands and said, "The commander is the main general of my battalion, and it's okay to join the battle halfway, the last general is willing to wait for the commander to dispatch!"

Li Zhi shook his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "It seems that Wen Yuan still has some ideas, but it's just that it's inconvenient to say them face to face because of sympathy."

Zhang Liao's expression changed upon hearing this, and he was about to explain, but Li Zhi waved his hand to signal him to calm down.Then Li Zhi said: "Wen Yuan is unhappy, this is a reasonable thing, there is no need to explain it. This time Jin Yiwei was ordered to fight, and I stayed with the lord before the battle. I did not appear among the generals who went out. The battle started Later, he suddenly joined the battle, and then naturally took over the command of Jin Yiwei. This move seemed natural, but in fact it was in violation of military orders and inappropriate, and it was hard to get rid of the suspicion of usurping the master. Because Wen Yuan was the vanguard of the army appointed by the lord himself, even if I, Li Zhi, is the commander of the Golden Guards, and I have to obey your order. Therefore, I should apologize to Wen Yuan, please forgive me!"

After speaking, Li Zhi stood up, bowed to Zhang Liao, and apologized solemnly.

"The commander must not be like this, the subordinates are terrified." Zhang Liao hurriedly got up to support Li Zhi, and said anxiously.

Li Zhi shook his head slightly, looked at Zhang Liao sincerely, and said softly, "Could it be that Wen Yuan doesn't believe my sincerity and thinks I'm a hypocrite?"

"Subordinates dare not, please lead Ming Jian." Zhang Liao said respectfully.

"Well, Wen Yuan sat down and talked." Pulling Zhang Liao to sit down again, Li Zhi said in a low voice: "This time Jin Yiwei was ordered to fight, whether he can win the battle is of great significance, so even I dare not slack off Perhaps Wen Yuan didn't know that since the formation of the Golden Guards, they have only participated in three major wars. The first battle was the Battle of Bahe in the past, when they faced Lu Bu's wolf cavalry army head-on. The second battle was the Battle of the Southern Suburbs. In that battle, the Golden Guards and the Xiliang Huben Battalion faced each other head-on, and there were also a lot of casualties. This attack on the barbarian army is the third battle of the Golden Guards."

Speaking of this, Li Zhi paused for a moment, and said in a low voice: "In the first two battles, the Jinyi Guards faced a strong enemy head-on. Although they won in the end, the two battles were tragic victories. Therefore, in my opinion It's just that the record is not good, compared with other battalions. The performance is mediocre, and it did not show the strong combat power that the lord's personal guard should have. After two years, the Golden Guard will go out again. This battle must not be lost, otherwise I, the Golden Guard, may be defeated. Lose the honor of the Guards and be reduced to a general battalion."

"Uh, there is such a thing?" Zhang Liao was surprised when he heard the words, and asked anxiously.

Li Li nodded slightly.He whispered: "Wen Yuan doesn't know something. This Northern Expedition. The lord did not lead the army in person. On the surface, it seems that he intends to train and guide the young generals and counselors who have recently joined the army. In fact, it is not that simple, but something else. deep meaning.

Our army currently has [-] main battle battalions. During the past two years, each battalion has been engaged in small fights, and there have been no large-scale battles.What is the actual combat effectiveness of each battalion?The school needs to be tested, which requires the battalions to be put into the battlefield one after another, and the status and equipment of each battalion will be redefined according to the number of records.Correspondingly, after the war, the battalion commanders and deputy commanders will face a new round of transfers.Many current generals no longer serve as chief general or deputy commander.

In addition, in the past two years, the weapons workshop under the name of the General's Mansion has produced a large number of new types of ordnance, and all of them are currently hoarded in the treasury. After the combat strength of each battalion is tested, the equipment will be replaced again.At that time, the difference in combat power between the battalions will become prominent, and the battalions with strong combat power will become stronger and stronger, while the battalions with weaker combat power will face the fate of reorganization and training.

My Golden Guard is a pro-guard who has been with the lord for a long time, and is well-equipped. According to common sense, we will not reorganize, and the position of the pro-guard will not change.However, the protagonist has always acted in an eclectic manner, which is often unexpected.Once the Jinyiwei's record is not good, it is very likely to lose its status as a pro-guard army and be reduced to an ordinary battalion.If this is the case, although I, Li Zhi, am still the commander of the personal guards, but the soldiers of the Golden Guards will be replaced by a new group of people, so I can't explain to the soldiers of the whole battalion, and I can't bear it.Therefore, at the beginning of the war, I asked my lord for orders to join the battle, and no matter what, I must take down the barbarian camp and maintain the reputation of my Jinyi Guards. "

After Zhang Liao heard the words, his expression was tense, and he nodded slightly thoughtfully, then bowed his head and meditated.

It is true that in the battle to capture Yuanmen two days ago, the commander Li Zhi suddenly broke out and captured the barbarian camp in one fell swoop, leading to the victory of the Golden Guards with an outstanding record.Immediately, Zhang Liao, the vanguard officer, was reduced to a supporting role, and the command was automatically handed over to Li Zhi, eclipsed.

Faced with such a situation, it is impossible for anyone to accept it calmly, and it is inevitable to feel unhappy, and Zhang Liao is no exception.It's just that he is a general who cares about the overall situation, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he won't express it immediately, and he will talk to Li Zhi in private.What's more, Li Zhi was originally the commander of Jin Yiwei, and he was also a confidant of the lord's side, so Zhang Liao could only forcefully suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and continued to lead the army to fight, showing no emotion at all, calm and composed.

To Zhang Liao's surprise, Li Zhi took the initiative to invite him to talk in the tent after discussing the matter in the tent today. He solemnly apologized to him and explained the reason.This was the first time that Zhang Liao had a private conversation with the commander Li Zhi since he served as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard for more than two years, and it was also the first time he heard Li Zhi say so many things, all of which were military secrets.This shows that Li Zhi is sincere to him and makes friends with him.

Therefore, after Zhang Liao listened to Li Zhi's words, the original grievances in Zhang Liao's heart disappeared, and he became worried about Jin Jiewei's future.

If it wasn't for Li Zhi's disclosure of the secret, Zhang Liao only thought that this battle was an actual combat opportunity for the lord Li Li to train generals and counselors intentionally, so as to promote a group of new generals.But after being reminded by Li Zhi, he suddenly realized that everything was just as Li Zhi said, but this battle was different from the past.What this means is self-evident, and a new round of adjustment of the whole army has officially kicked off.

This kind of adjustment does not mean that Li Li has become suspicious of the generals of the current battalions and no longer trusts them, but that he speaks based on his strength, and the order in which the battalions replace their equipment after the battle is measured by their combat effectiveness and record.Accompanied by the re-rotation of the generals of each battalion, the status quo that has been maintained for two years will usher in a large-scale change, and a new round of army consolidation has begun.

In fact, Li Li's true intentions had already been revealed to Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Liao and others. Presumably Zhou Yu and Lu Su already knew it well, but only Zhang Liao seemed to understand it, so he couldn't be sure.Now Li Zhi is telling each other without concealment, with the intention of dissolving the grievances between each other, so as to prevent the misunderstanding from deepening and affecting the relationship between each other over time.

"Wen Yuan, I have made this matter clear to the lord, and the previous combat achievements belong to you. But this is only the first battle, and the key is whether you can continue to win. I hope Wen Yuan will be able to lead the army in battle. Don't be negligent. !" Just as Zhang Liao was thinking to himself, Li Zhi said softly.

"Ah! This is inappropriate, and my subordinates absolutely cannot accept it!" Zhang Liao immediately waved his hands and refused, with a determined expression, and there was no room for negotiation.

Without waiting for Zhang Liao to speak, Li Zhi raised his hand to signal him not to be impatient, and said in a low voice, "Wen Yuan must have misunderstood. I didn't do this to give you the credit, but to put this record on Jin Yiwei's head. For For myself, I am content to be by my lord’s side all the time, and other things are insignificant. But Wen Yuan, you and the whole battalion are in urgent need of military exploits to prove your abilities, so Wen Yuan doesn’t need to say much, and don’t I have concerns, after all, you are the vanguard of the army, and these are all credits you deserve."

"This,,, whatever, thank you Commander for your success, I will always remember it in my heart!" Seeing that Li Zhi had made up his mind, Zhang Liao immediately agreed without any excuses.Just as Li Zhi said, the soldiers of the Golden Guards really need to show their due strength in order to consolidate the position of the pro-guards, otherwise their current status is in jeopardy.As for the military exploits, it is still too early to say. The next battle to attack the territory of the Southern Huns is the most important thing. Only the continuation of the previous victories can be truly counted as military exploits until the end of the war.

"Well, we will leave the war to Wenyuan." Li Zhi nodded.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Liao stood up, and said respectfully, "This subordinate will definitely do his best, please rest assured, Commander. The general will retire at the end, and Commander will rest earlier."

Li Zhi nodded slightly, got up to see him off, and after Zhang Liao left, he whispered to himself: "Thanks to my lord's reminder, otherwise the previous incident would indeed be suspected of stealing military exploits, and Wen Yuan's future will be delayed virtually. It seems necessary Communication is essential, and some things can be relieved when they are opened, otherwise they will leave knots. Zhang Wenyuan is indeed a general, and his ability to command troops is far superior to that of Li Zhi. Right now, he just lacks the opportunity to be on his own. If war Well, the opportunity he's been waiting for is coming."

Chapter 581 Ruo Zhirou One Defeat and Another Defeat

ding ding dong

In the camp at Shuofengkou, the melodious sound of the zither came from the commander's tent, which drifted inside and outside the camp with the wind, making thousands of soldiers stationed in the camp listen attentively.

All the soldiers have gradually gotten used to such a leisurely and enjoyable life, and it has been like this for the past two weeks.

Since the defeat of the barbarian army half a month ago, the army rested here for two days, and the army set off in the early morning of the third day.

Zhou Yu was the main general of the army on the grassland, Dian Wei was the deputy general, Lu Su was the commander and leader of the army, Zhang Liao continued to serve as the vanguard of the former army, Xu Chu was the deputy vanguard, and led Jin Yiwei to march first.Zhou Yu led the Central Army's Huben Camp and followed up. The rear army led by Chen Dao led the [-] county soldiers behind the palace, and was responsible for escorting food, grass and supplies.This time, the army with a total of [-] cavalry marched out of Shuofengkou and marched towards the southern Xiongnu grassland.

After the army set off, Li Li stayed in the camp at Shuofengkou, and the soldiers stationed in the camp were more than [-] soldiers from Beidi County, in addition to [-] soldiers from the Huben camp guarding the pass.In this way, Shuofengkou has no worries, and there is no need to worry about the barbarian army's sneak attack. Five thousand defenders alone are enough to hold the pass.

Therefore, in the following ten days, there was the sound of strings in the camp every day, and the tune was melodious and melodious, which was really pleasant to listen to.Even the old and rough soldiers in the camp who don't know the rhythm can listen to it with gusto, shaking their heads and reveling in it.

The person who plays the piano in the handsome tent is Li Li's beloved wife Dian Wuxia, and the tune is a new song composed by Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, which naturally comes from Li Li.This is one of the fifteen new songs that Li Li played on the Yangtze River. It was composed by Er Qiao. During the five days of staying in Hanyang County, Li Li's many wives and concubines almost learned a few new songs, and Dian Wuxia My favorite piece of music is the piece I am playing right now.

In the big tent, Dian Wuxia twitched the strings with her slender fingers, and Ma Yunluo, dressed in colorful clothes and neon clothes, danced to spiritual songs.Li Li lay on his side behind the Shuai case, drinking wine and watching dances, enjoying himself leisurely.

"Dong Dong" fell with the last tune, the sound of the piano stopped slowly, and the echo lingered endlessly, which was evocative.

Immediately, Dian Wuxia got up gently, and sat beside Li Li with Ma Yunluo on the left and right, rubbing his shoulders with his fingers, and beating his legs with fists, serving Li Li extremely comfortably.She closed her eyes and fell asleep, as if she was drowsy.

"Husband, it's been half a month since the army went out for battle. Before that, three battle reports were sent back in a row. Our army's battle situation is worrying!" He gently squeezed Li Li's shoulder.Dian Wuxia said softly with worried tone.

After Li Li heard the sound, he still closed his eyes and pillowed on Dian Wuxia's soft knee.Look calm.There was no expression of appeasement on his face, and he was noncommittal.

Seeing this, Dian Wuxia nodded slightly, signaling Ma Yunluo to help.Comprehendingly, Ma Yunluo nodded lightly, and said softly: "Husband, the evening before yesterday, you also said that there was news from Sili's secret work. The princes in all towns in the Central Plains are secretly mobilizing troops and horses, plotting wrongdoing, and there seems to be signs of marching into Sili. Now I It has been more than [-] days since the army attacked the barbarian army. Except for the big victory in the first battle, the army has not made any progress in the past half a month, but has lost one after another. Such a situation of winning first and then losing is extremely unfavorable to the morale of the army, and it will greatly damage morale. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be unstable, and it will be difficult to recover from the defeat. If this is the case, the barbarian army may make a comeback and attack our Beidi County again. At that time, our army will be in a dire situation, and the previously recovered pass may be lost. Lost again, repeating the same mistakes of the previous barbarian army. Please think again, husband!"

When Ma Yunluo finished speaking, Li Li's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at her deeply, with a smile on his face.

"Husband, is there something wrong with what I said? Why are you looking at me like this?" Ma Yunluo's delicate face changed slightly, and she looked down at her clothes, but found nothing wrong.Immediately, she realized that she might have made a mistake in her words, which made her husband Li Li unhappy, so he stared at her unblinkingly.

Li Li smiled and shook his head, sat up slowly, took Ma Yunluo and Dian Wuxia into his arms, rubbed his palms on their delicate bodies, and gently stroked the soft skin on their slender waists through the brocade clothes.

Then he turned his head to look at Ma Yunluo's fair and fair cheeks, and said softly: "If outsiders hear what you two said, they will definitely think that you two goblins are bewitching me. Interfering in the war ahead. Fortunately, I know that you are completely concerned about the failure of the war and the excessive casualties of our soldiers. You did not intend to question the ability of the generals in front. Otherwise, I will enforce the family law against you two and punish all of you. Fan. Hehehe!"

"Husband is really bad, how can you use family law to others like this every day?" At first hearing the word "family law", Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo's pretty faces were flushed, their eyes were like silk, and they were confused and fascinated. The embarrassing scene on the couch at night.

For half a month, the couple slept together under the quilt every night. They went to bed early and rested, but they didn't really fall asleep until very late.Dian Wuxia and the two daughters Ma Yunluo have quite similarities, that is, their delicate bodies are fit and flexible, and their desires are strong. Once the flames of war are ignited, they will last very long.Moreover, despite the fact that the two of them are dignified and quiet during the day, with a generous demeanor, they are not like that at night.After closing the door, when they faced Li Li, they were extremely bold and open, without any shyness, they dared to say anything, and they were able to make any movements and postures, which seduced Li Li to extreme excitement and fought fiercely until the three of them until exhausted.

And Li Li's family law sounds harsh and scary, but it's not like that at all.In fact, the so-called family law is to let Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo put on some extremely embarrassing poses when they are in love, or let Li Li like to do some inhumane things, so that Li Li can do whatever he wants and indulge in pleasure.

Not only the two of them have personally experienced this family law many times, but the other sisters have also been punished one after another. Even Li Xin, the first wife, was tortured to death by Li Li.Therefore, the Dian Wuxia sisters were never afraid of Li Li's enforcement of the family law on them, but looked forward to it very much. As long as they heard the words of the family law, their pretty faces would instantly blush, they could not help themselves, and they were full of love.

Fortunately, Li Li and his wife are old couples who have experienced it, so they don't just do it as soon as they say it, and do it in broad daylight.
