In the early morning of the next day, the dark clouds that shrouded the Shangdang County Shoufu quietly dispersed, and the sky was clear again.

The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and the wind is clear. A ray of morning dawn broke out, the morning glow filled the sky, and the sun rose in the east.

The main hall of the county watchhouse.

Zhuge Liang and the generals in the army got up early in the morning and went to the lobby, which was an inherent habit they had formed in the past three days.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and the so-called countermeasures were how to wake up the lord Li Lidu.

However, the moment they stepped into the threshold of the main hall, they couldn't help but stop in amazement, staring straight up at the upper steps of the main hall, and their faces were shocked.

But seeing a familiar figure sitting on the handsome seat that had been vacant for two days and three nights in a row, he was sitting on the desk at the moment, reviewing a roll of bamboo slips and putting it aside, and then spreading out a roll of bamboo slips, while reading and commenting, attentive and meticulous.

"What are you doing standing in the doorway, blocking the light?"

Just when everyone was stunned, Li Li, who was on the desk, suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "Since you're here, come in." I know you've been tired and scared for the past few days, and you haven't had a good night's sleep. Therefore, there is no need to be polite today, and when you are done with the proceedings, you will go back and rest. Later, I will give you a day off, take care of your spirits, and set off for Luoyang the day after tomorrow. ”

"My lord?" Just as Li Li spoke loudly, the generals subconsciously rubbed their eyes, once again making sure that they were not dazzled, is the person in front of them really the lord?

"It's only been two days, why are you looking at me like this, don't you know?" Li Li got up with a smile and walked to the bottom of the hall, waving his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

"Brother、、、 uh. Is the lord okay? Zhuge Liang asked with surprise on his face.

Li Li smiled: "It's just a headache and brain fever, it's not worth mentioning." Maybe I was too tired a few days ago, and I occasionally felt sick. As soon as you wake up, you'll be fine, and you'll be making a little fuss these days. Hehehe! ”

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he smiled happily with relief: "It's good that the lord is fine." To hide what the lord said, the past two days have frightened us and others, but I am afraid that the lord will make a mistake, and the medical officer alone has gathered more than 100 people to mobilize more than 100 truckloads of herbs from various counties in Bingzhou and send them over in the starry night. It's not that we deliberately go to great length, but that the main public security is in danger. As long as the Lord is safe and sound, no matter what he does, he will not be excessive. In the past two days, even if the generals have been rude, they are also in a good mood. Please also ask for forgiveness. ”

Li Li bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's it, I know everything you have done." Although a little impatient, it is understandable. I have taken note of your thoughts. This is the end of the matter. At present, the army is newly defeated, the army's morale is unstable, and people's hearts are fluctuating. Time is running out, and some things must be dealt with sooner rather than later. Sit down, everybody! ”

With Li Li's order, the generals bowed down and sat down. Zhuge Liang sat first on the left, followed by the Shangdang county guard and a group of subordinates; Kebineng, Chen Dao, Hao Zhao and other generals sat on the right side. The rest of the generals were seated in two shifts.

After everyone sat down, Li Li, who was sitting on the main seat, looked solemn. There was no smile on his face. Obviously, his smiling face just now was to express his gratitude to everyone for their hard work in the past two days, so he greeted each other with a smile to show his closeness.

But at this moment, the private matter is over, and the business is on business. The smile on Li Li's face disappeared, replaced by a deep gaze, a cold expression, and a faint aura of solemnity.

"Where is Bergui's coffin now?"

Seeing Li Li's melancholy expression and low tone, Zhuge Liang didn't dare to hesitate, restrained his expression, and said respectfully: "My lord, General Gongsun's mourning hall is located in the military camp in the north of the city, and how to bury it is still under the Lord's announcement." Obviously, Zhuge Liang had already understood the meaning of Li Li's words, and knew that Li Li must have given instructions when he mentioned Gongsun Zhan's future at this time, so he took the opportunity to bring it up.

Li Li said with a sad expression: "Bogui died for saving me, if he didn't save me desperately, I'm afraid that I, Li Li, would have been dead for a long time, and although Bogui and I are not brothers, we are like brothers." It can be announced to the world, with the princes and kings of the ceremony of the burial of Bogui, in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an to build the royal tomb, nicknamed Yi Jinghou, if there is a change in the future, and then posthumously. On the day of the funeral, under the rule of Xiliang, I was under Li Li, and the whole territory of the states and counties was clothed in linen for a day to see off Bogui! ”

"This 、、、 promise, Weichen takes the order." Zhuge Liang heard that his voice changed, but when he hesitated slightly, he saw Li Li's eyes cold, and suddenly he didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately bowed his head.

"In addition, the Inner Mansion was ordered to rebuild the Yijing Marquis Mansion for the Bogui family on the same day, and his eldest son inherited the title, and the second son was given the title of Marquis of Duting, and the hereditary succession was replaced, and the salary of Yulu was not reduced within three generations."

"No, Weichen takes the order." This time, Zhuge Liang did not hesitate and answered.

The generals who witnessed such a generous gift were all moved, with different thoughts, but they were all full of envy. If Gongsun Chan hadn't died for Li Li, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get such a great gift in his life, but just because of his pounce at the critical moment, he would have sought hereditary wealth for future generations. Since ancient times, those who have been in the army as generals can have such feats and die without regrets!

Just when the generals were secretly thinking about it, Li Li said in a deep voice: "I have read the battle reports of soldiers and horses from all walks of life just now, our army suffered heavy casualties on the battlefield in Hebei, its military strength was damaged, its strength was frustrated, and its strength plummeted. More than half of the 120,000 Youzhou troops under Zhang Liao's account were lost, but the establishment was still complete, and the strength could be restored after a period of rest. However, the responsibility for losing the city and land, and losing the soldiers and generals must be investigated, so Zhang Liao was fined and confiscated for one year, the official was demoted by two levels, and the right to be the chief general of the East Route Army was withdrawn, and Xu Rong, the general of Youzhou, took over the soldiers and horses, promoted the Pingxi general Teng Yu to the general of Zhenliao, led the 40,000 county soldiers of Liangzhou to enter Liaoxi County, and appointed Tian Yu as the general of Lingzhou. Zhang Liao was ordered to immediately lead the Wuwei battalion back to Luoyang, replenish the troops along the way, and wait for the dispatch. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, and all the generals felt sorry in their hearts, and they sat down one after another, listening to the military orders.

"Zhao Yun's unequaled iron cavalry lost more than 10,000 people, the general Ma was killed in battle, lost Zhongshan Kingdom, fined and confiscated Yulu for half a year, and his official rank was demoted by one level, and he was ordered to lead his troops back to Chang'an and allow him to replenish troops on the spot. Zhang Yan's Feiyan light cavalry lost nearly 20,000 war cavalry and lost Changshan Kingdom, but when he retreated, he escorted 50,000 people back to the state, and the merits were compensated. Exempted from punishment, he ordered him to replenish his troops and horses as much as possible, and retreat to annex the state. The baggage required by the above three battalions was supplemented by the Chang'an General's Mansion. Before the end of the year, all battalions must be replenished, and those who violate the order will be severely punished! ”

"No, Weichen has recorded it in detail, and it can be transmitted to all armies after the lord sees it." Zhuge Liang replied respectfully.

At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, and the generals were even more silent, and they didn't dare to come out. Seeing that Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Zhang Yan were punished one after another. But their losses are not too big, they were originally the same rank as Jiuqing, but now they have all fallen below Jiuqing. And so they are. The generals of the battalions who participated in the battle of Yecheng were naturally not spared, and the responsibility was much greater than the three of them, so it was miserable. However, all the generals understand a truth. This is the punishment of a lost battle. Otherwise, how can we convince the people, how can we appease the morale of the army and stabilize the hearts of the people. If the defeat is not punished, then the entire army will completely collapse, who will fight desperately in the future, and who will go to great lengths to win the battle?

The soldiers and horses of the three roads were all punished, and the next ones were naturally the generals of the battalions on the main battlefield of Yecheng, this is the hardest hit area!

Sure enough, just when the generals were secretly anxious. Li Li said in a deep voice: "In the battle of Yecheng, I, Li Li, am the commander of the army. It's hard to get away with it. Therefore, Gu decided to reduce the expenses of the general's internal government by 60% throughout the year, and cut it for three consecutive years, and all the money and food saved were used to pay for the fallen soldiers, which was jointly supervised by the internal affairs government and the general's palace Yincao.

Zhou Yu, the former commander-in-chief of the army, was guilty of dereliction of duty and negligence, and his official rank was demoted by four ranks, and he was reappointed as the general of Pingxi, and he was also the commander of the department and the general of the garrison, stationed in Hanoi. The remaining battalion commanders will be demoted by three ranks, and the annual fines will be confiscated; The deputy commanders of each battalion will be demoted by two levels, and the fines will be confiscated for half a year, and the lieutenants will be fined and confiscated for half a year, and the official rank will remain unchanged, and the remaining generals at all levels will not be punished for the time being.

The general order of the whole army, all the fallen soldiers have their pensions doubled, all the fallen generals have two additional ranks, and those who meet the requirements can be inherited by their sons. All seriously injured soldiers are treated preferentially, and they will be properly placed after they recover from their injuries, and I Li Li will not let any disabled soldier be helpless after being discharged from the army, and then shed tears after bleeding! ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Lilang said: "All the soldiers and horses participating in the battle on the battlefield in Hebei have rested for half a year, and the Shuofeng Battalion of Zhou Yu's department has been stationed in Hanoi County, and the Wuwei Battalion of Zhang Liao's Department has been stationed in Hefei, and the Wushu Battalion has been stationed in Youzhou, and the Wuwei Battalion has retreated to Sili and retreated to Chang'an!" ”

?????? The lobby meeting is over.

The so-called deliberations are actually waiting for Li Li to give orders and readjust the deployment of troops, and that's all. After all, the army is newly defeated, and there is nothing to discuss. The most urgent task at the moment is to curb the trend of decline, regroup, rest the army, stabilize the morale of the army, and boost morale in preparation for another battle.

After being busy for a while, Zhuge Liang followed Li Li into the second hall, sat opposite each other, and made tea and talked.

"Just now, the sentry rode to report and found Liu Bei at the bottom of the cliff?" Li Li asked softly while sipping tea.

Zhuge Liang nodded lightly and said respectfully: "That's true." However, Liu Bei is not dead at the moment, his right arm was cut off at the shoulder, his leg was also broken, and he still has a breath at the moment. After speaking, Zhuge Liang had a look of embarrassment on his face, obviously he had just seen Liu Bei's tragic situation, and he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"What did he say?" Li Li asked abruptly. A brainless question, if it is an ordinary person, it is natural not to know what it is, but Zhuge Liang knows why Li Li asked this question, because it was precisely for this reason that he went to see Liu Bei just now.

"He agreed, and promised in person in front of Guan Yu that as long as the lord could save his life, he would persuade Guan and Zhang to join the lord's command." Zhuge Liang said.

Li Li shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I don't need their allegiance, as long as I use it." It's easy to kill someone, but it's hard to get someone who is hostile to you to do their bidding. Guan Zhang and the others are rare battlefield warriors in the world, and it is a pity to kill them, so even if they buy horse bones, I Li Li will not hesitate to do it! ”

Before the words fell, Li Li sighed softly: "Bogui's great enmity can only be put down temporarily, and the great cause is still unfinished, and people are still needed!" Ask the two miracle doctors to heal their wounds??????"
