Ding Ding Dong --

In the Shuofengkou camp, the melodious sound of the piano came from the tent, which drifted with the wind inside and outside the camp, making the thousands of soldiers stationed in the camp listen.

The soldiers have gradually become accustomed to such a leisurely day of feasting their ears, and they have been like this for the past half month.

After the defeat of the barbarian army half a month ago, the army rested here for two days, and on the third day, the army set out for the expedition in the early morning.

The army that went out to the grassland was dominated by Zhou Yu as the main general, Dian Wei as the deputy general, Lu Su as the chief secretary of the army and the leader of the army, Zhang Liao continued to serve as the vanguard of the front army, Xu Chu was the deputy vanguard, and led Jin Yiwei to take the lead. Zhou Yu led the Chinese army's Huben battalion and then followed up, and the rear army was led by Chen Zhi to 20,000 county government soldiers, responsible for escorting grain and grass. The expedition had a total of 60,000 cavalry, out of the wind outlet, and advanced to the southern Xiongnu steppe.

After the departure of the army, Li Li stayed in the Shuofengkou camp and stopped, while the soldiers stationed in the camp were more than 3,000 soldiers from the Beidi County Government, in addition to 2,000 soldiers from the Tiger Battalion guarding the pass. In this way, there is no need to worry about the storm, there is no need to worry about the sneak attack of the barbarian army, and the five thousand defenders alone are enough to hold the pass without losing.

In the next ten days, there was the sound of strings in the camp every day, and the tune was tactful and melodious, and it was very good. Even the old rough soldiers in the camp who didn't understand the rhythm of music heard it with taste, shaking their heads and reveling in it.

The person who plays the piano in the handsome tent is Li Li's favorite wife Dian Wufang, and the song is a new song composed by Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao - out of the stopper, and its source is naturally from Li Li. This is one of the fifteen new songs played by Li Li on the Yangtze River, composed by Erqiao, and within the five days of his previous stay in Hanyang County, almost all of Li Li's many wives and concubines have learned a few new songs, and Dian Wufang's favorite song is the one played at this moment.

In the big tent, Dian Flawless fingers stirred the strings, and Ma Yunluo, who was dressed in colorful clothes, sang and danced. Li Li lay on his side behind the handsome case, drinking and dancing, leisurely and happy.

As the last tune fell, the sound of the piano slowly stopped, and the echo was endless, which was evocative.

Immediately, Dian Wufang got up lightly, sat beside Li Li with Ma Yunluo left and right, rubbed his shoulders with his fingers, beat his legs with his fists, and served Li Li very comfortably. Closed eyes and pretended to sleep, as if drowsy.

"Husband, it's been half a month since the army went out, and three battle reports have been sent back in a row, and the battle situation of our army is worrying!" Gently kneading Li Li's shoulders. Dian Wuflawless said softly in a worried tone.

After Li Li heard the sound, he still closed his eyes and pillowed on the soft knee of Dian Flawless. Not bat an eye. There was no anger on his face, and he was noncommittal.

Seeing this, Dian Wufang bowed his head slightly, signaling Ma Yunluo to help. Ma Yunluo, who understood it, nodded lightly and said softly: "Husband, the night before yesterday, you also said that there was news from Si Li's fine work. The princes of all towns in the Central Plains are secretly mobilizing troops and horses, plotting against each other, and there seem to be signs of marching into the army. Now it has been more than 20 days since our army attacked the barbarian army, except for the first big victory. In the past half a month, the army has not made any progress, but has lost one after another. Such a situation of first victory and then defeat is extremely unfavorable to the morale of the army, and it greatly reduces morale, and if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the army's morale will be unstable, and it will be difficult to recover the defeat. If this is the case, I am afraid that the barbarian army will come back and attack our northern county again. At that time, our army will be in a worrying situation, and I am afraid that the previously recovered passes will be gained and lost, and the previous barbarian army will repeat the mistakes of the previous barbarian army. Please think twice! ”

When Ma Yunluo's words fell, Li Li's closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at her with a deep gaze and a smile on his face.

"Husband, is there anything wrong with what the concubine said? Why are you looking at me like that? Ma Yunluo's delicate face changed slightly, she looked down at the clothes on her body, and didn't find anything wrong. Immediately, she realized that she might have made her husband Li Li unhappy, which is why he stared at her without blinking.

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

Then he turned his head to look at Ma Yunluo's white cheeks, and said softly: "If you two let outsiders hear these words, they will definitely think that you two goblins are confused by me, pampered and arrogant, and take the opportunity to slander and interfere in the war ahead." Fortunately, I know that you are completely concerned about the war going badly and are worried about the excessive casualties of our officers and soldiers, and you do not intend to question the ability of the generals at the front to command the troops. Otherwise, I'm going to impose family law on both of you and punish you well. Hehehe! ”

"My husband is so bad, how can you use family law on others every day." At first glance, when they heard the word family law, Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo's two daughters had crimson faces, charming eyes like silk, and they were confused, and the embarrassing scene on the couch at night instantly appeared in their minds.

For half a month, the three of them slept together every night, going up early to rest, but tossing until late to really fall asleep. Dian Wuflawless and Ma Yunluo's two daughters are quite similar, that is, the delicate body is toned and flexible, and the desire is strong, and once the war burns, it is very long-lasting. Moreover, don't look at the two of them who are dignified and quiet during the day, and their manners are generous, but this is not the case at night. After closing the door, when they faced Li Li, they were extremely bold and open, without shying away, daring to say anything, and making any movements and postures, which lured Li Li to be extremely excited and fought heartily until the three of them were exhausted.

And the family law that Li Li said sounds very harsh and terrifying, but in fact it is not like that at all. In fact, the so-called family law is to let Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo's two daughters put on some extremely embarrassing poses when they are emotional, or listen to Li Li's liking and do some inhumane things, so as to let Li Li do whatever he wants and indulge in pleasure.

This family method has not only been experienced by the two of them many times, but the other sisters have also been punished one after another, and even Li Xin, the eldest lady in the main room, was tossed to death by Li Li, and she got up the next day with a radiant and gorgeous face. Therefore, the Dian Flawless sisters have never been afraid of Li Li's implementation of family law on them, but they are extremely looking forward to it, as long as they hear the words of family law, they will instantly blush, feel embarrassed, and feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Li and his wife are both old husbands and wives, so they don't just do what they say, and do that in broad daylight.

With a charming expression, Dian Wuflaw snuggled in Li Li's arms, caressed the man's strong chest with her slender jade fingers, and said softly: "Sister Yunluo and I don't doubt the husband's vision of knowing people and employing people, nor do we question Zhou Yu's ability to command the army, let alone doubt the courage and combat power of our soldiers to fight on the battlefield. We are only worried that this war will drag on for a long time, not to mention that a lot of food, grass and ordnance will be consumed. The defeat of consecutive battles alone is enough to wear down the high morale of our army and thus shake the morale of the army. If this situation is not curbed in time and continues to develop, even if our army can win a victory in the end, it will inevitably be a crushing victory, and the casualties among the officers and men will be too large, which will affect the morale of the whole army. Therefore, the concubine wanted to ask her husband to think carefully, rush to the front line as soon as possible, and personally command the army to fight. ”

"I personally commanded the army to capture the barbarian tribes?" Li Li looked slightly stunned. Immediately slapped twice on the buttocks of Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo's two daughters, pretending to be angry, and said slightly angrily: "You two losers are really very different from ordinary women, and other people's mothers-in-law don't want their men to go to the battlefield, lest men have accidents." She became a widow. It's good for you two to urge me to go to the front line every day to fight. Isn't it good for me to be with you every day? ”

"Giggles!" Dian Wuflawless and Ma Yunluo, who were attacked on their buttocks, looked at each other and smiled. His cheeks were flushed, but he was not stage frightened or dodged. Instead, they pressed Li Li's restless hands under their buttocks, and their delicate bodies writhed slightly, which stimulated Li Li's heavy snort and his fingers moved. Subconsciously knead the richness and softness in the palm of your hand.

Immediately, Ma Yunluo smiled and said: "The husband is wrong to blame the concubine and the flawless sister." Over the years, the husband has fought a hundred battles, invincible, invincible, and invincible. This time he swore to the Northern Expedition. After the first victory in the battle, and then the husband lent the military power to Zhou Yu, our army did not win again. In the past half a month, our army has fought with the barbarian army twice, and all of them have been defeated, so that the demoralized barbarian army has regained its fighting spirit, and the more it fights, the more courageous it becomes, and there is a great tendency to make a comeback. It was based on the current situation that my sister and I decided to go to the front line to direct the war, so as not to lose the morale of the army and defeat again. This is also a last resort, not that the concubine deliberately urged her husband to go into battle to kill the enemy, but that she was forced to do so. In addition, Sister Flawless and I accompany our husband into battle, and no matter what danger we encounter, our sisters will never abandon our husband. ”

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed heartily, hugged Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two don't have to take it seriously, I was just teasing you just now!" ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Li smiled and said: "In fact, someone reports to me every day about the front-line war, and I have never slackened for a moment, always paying attention to the situation on the front. Although the two of you are talking about other things left and right, in fact, the two of you still don't believe in Zhou Yu's ability to lead the army into battle, and want me to replace him and personally lead the army to attack the barbarian army. ”

As he spoke, Li Li shook his head to signal that the second daughter didn't need to explain, and continued: "There are no natural handsome talents in this world, no one is born to fight, and no one wins a hundred battles and never fails. Just like me Li Li, I have fought many battles, and I am said to be invincible, but in fact I have also fought and lost, and I was almost crushed when I was just emerging from the top.

Three years ago, in the battle of Maple Canyon, I only had more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under my command, and they were all patchwork troops, preparing to go to Wuwei County to take office, but Yunluo's brother Ma Chao led 20,000 Pegasus thieves to attack the camp at night. In that battle, the horses were defeated and the Pegasus thieves lost tens of thousands of horses, but I did not win, because most of my soldiers were killed and wounded, and only two or three thousand remnants of the soldiers were defeated. Because of this, when I went to Wuwei County to take up my post, I only took 2,500 soldiers to Guzang City. At that time, I didn't know if I could gain a firm foothold in Wuwei County, and whether I could lead Wuwei County along the way. But I had no way out, so I had to go head-on, even if I failed, I had to give it a try. Fortunately, I met Li Xuan, Teng Xiao, Teng Yu and Meng Chong and other military generals, and finally killed Cheng Yin and Li Kan, and finally had the strength to gain a foothold in Wuwei County. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li turned his head and gently kissed Ma Yunluo's forehead, and then turned his head to kiss Dian Flawless cheek. Then he changed his words and said with deep feelings: "I, Li Li, am still like this, although Zhou Gongjin is a genius in the sky, he also needs to go through some training, and it is reasonable to suffer a little setback occasionally." After all, although Gong Jin also had the experience of leading troops to fight before, he had very few soldiers and horses, at most he led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, and it was the first time that he led tens of thousands of troops to fight alone in a major battle like this. Therefore, we should give him support, not give him military orders and dictate how he should be. At this time, we must not put pressure on him, do not doubt his ability to command troops, and still less can we change the commander-in-chief lightly. Fill somebody's shoes.

What's more, the situation on the front line of our army is not as bad as you two imagined, although it has lost two battles in a row, it is defeated but not chaotic, and there are not many soldiers and horses lost, and no generals are killed. Therefore, I will not go to the front line in person, nor will I give any orders, or what I said before, Gong Jin is in charge of all the battles ahead, and I don't need to ask for instructions on everything, and I can make my own decisions. ”

"My husband trusts Zhou Yu so much. Aren't you afraid that he will lose his troops again and affect the officers and men of our army? Dian Wuflawless asked worriedly.

Li Li nodded lightly and said, "Flawless doesn't know Zhou Yu very well, so it is inevitable that he will be biased and misjudged. A few years ago, Gongjin followed Sun Jian's son Sun Ce on an expedition. Relying on thousands of soldiers and horses to capture more than ten cities, Sun Ce was able to temporarily shelter. It's a pity that Sun Ce is not good at management. The character is too tough. After all, he still couldn't gain a foothold, so he had to lead his troops to live in Xuzhou, but because of the unauthorized expansion of soldiers and horses, he befriended the Xuzhou scholars, and was suspicious of Tao Qian, so he had to lead his troops to Yuan Shu.

I've heard of Gongjin's talent for a long time. Then Zijing was introduced from it, and he tried his best to persuade him before he was brought into his command. This time, let him serve as the chief general and lead the army to go out, one to give him a chance to prove himself. The second is to test its ability. If he can live up to his expectations and defeat the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop, then I will let him take charge alone, give him more and greater power and soldiers, and continue to reuse him. If he can't win, or if he can't capture the Southern Xiongnu and march into the state within three months, then it means that he still needs further experience and doesn't have the ability to be a general for the time being. If this is the case, he will stay in Jin Yiwei and continue to train for two years, and wait until the future to be re-assumed. ”

Ma Yunluo was stunned and said: "In this way, the husband will reuse Zhou Yu no matter what, and I firmly believe that he must be a general." What is he capable of deserving of such a different view from his husband? ”

"This 、、、 really can't be explained in a sentence or two." Li Li was slightly stunned, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Let me tell you this, with the ability to lead the troops to fight, Zhou Yuzhi's talent is not inferior to me." What he lacks at the moment is that he has no experience in a big war before, and he lacks experience in a big war. But I always firmly believe that Zhou Yu is a handsome talent, and his ability to lead the troops in battle is undoubtedly high, and sooner or later he will shine and become a blockbuster! ”

"Even so, the concubine doesn't say much, I hope Zhou Gongjin will live up to her husband's high expectations and return triumphantly!" Seeing that his man respected and trusted Zhou Yu so much, Dian Wuflaw nodded lightly and no longer persuaded Li Li to go to the front line to command the battle.

Ma Yunluo is the same, as long as it is decided by her own man, she must support it unconditionally and will never go against it. The reason why she questioned it just now was because she and Dian Wuflaw were deeply disturbed by the recent battle report, Zhou Yu's army had been defeated twice in a row, and many middle-level generals in the army jointly requested a change of commander, hoping that Li Li could personally command the army to recover the defeat.

In addition, Zhou Yu was a general who had recently joined the Western Liang Army, and his qualifications were too shallow, and he was entrusted with an important task less than a month after coming to the Western Liang Army, commanding 60,000 troops to pursue Yu Fuluo's army and recover the territory of the Southern Xiongnu. This made Dian Wuflawless and Ma Yunluo's two daughters suspicious, worried that their husbands trusted Zhou Yu too much, and they were heartfelt, in case the army was defeated and returned, the result would be unimaginable, and the barbarian army would inevitably invade Beidi County again. Moreover, the situation in the Central Plains is obscure and uncertain, and the princes from all walks of life are ready to move, and they may attack the division at any time. Once Si Li encounters a drastic change, the Xiliang army will be attacked on its back, and the situation is worrying.

In view of this, after discussing privately with Ma Yunluo's two daughters, Dian Wuflaw decided to persuade Li Li to change his commander and go to the front line to preside over the war. But now it seems that the advice is ineffective, Li Li is resolute and will not change his original intention, and still insists on appointing Zhou Yu as commander to take charge of the army to conquer the barbarian army.

As Li Li's woman, Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo know a lot about their men's temper and work style. Once he decides something, it will be carried out, and even if it is wrong, it will be said until the dust settles. However, so far, Li Li has not made any decision-making mistakes, let alone failed in the Northern Expedition.

"My lord, I am asking to see you outside the account of joining the military law." Just as Li Li and his wife were silent, Li Zhi suddenly flashed into the big tent and reported respectfully.

"Oh? Fa Xiaozhi is here, please come in! Li Li was a little surprised, and immediately waved his hand and said.

The two daughters of Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo, who were nestled in his arms, heard that Fa Zheng was coming from Chiyang City, and immediately reluctantly left Li Li's arms, got up and slowly walked into the back hall. Since they no longer hold military positions, the two of them rarely appear in front of outsiders, and they no longer participate in military and political affairs, abiding by the duty of women not to interfere in politics.

"Subordinates meet the lord!" Dian Wuflaw and Ma Yunluo left with their front feet, and Fa Zheng's slightly thin tall and thin figure walked into the big tent, and bowed down.

"Hehehe!" Li Li got up with a smile and walked in front of Fazheng, stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi is much thinner than two years ago, but his body is much taller, and Xiaozhi has worked hard." ”

The reason why Li Li said this was because when he sent Fa Zheng to Northland County for training, he was only seventeen years old, which was a good age for growing his body. After more than two years, now Fa Zheng has reached the crown and has become a real man.

"Thank you for your concern." Seeing Li Li again after two years, Fa Zheng's expression was quite excited, but he was much calmer than two years ago, and he didn't forget to pay tribute while being excited.

After following Li Li to sit down, Fa Zheng said respectfully: "When the lord led the army into Chiyang City, his subordinates were distributing food in Gaoyang Town to help the people, so they failed to meet the lord in time. This time, the government affairs in the county were sorted out smoothly, and the subordinates immediately came to the camp to listen to the use, and waited for the dispatch of the lord at any time. ”
