After resting for two days in Wuwei County, Li Li led 3,000 iron horsemen to set off lightly and marched towards Guzang City.

Before leaving, Li Li left Li Dian to lead more than 1,000 Flying Bear Battalion light cavalry to guard the southern pass of Wuwei County to resist the invading enemies of Anding and Jincheng counties in the south. Let Li Xian lead a thousand dragon battalion iron cavalry to stay in Wuwei County, guard the county seat and protect Cai Yan and Chen Yu's two daughters; He also ordered Jia Mu to command the county soldiers and the original petty officials to manage the administrative affairs of the counties, set an example to reassure the people, maintain law and order, and resume farming.

Li Li himself has a certain ability to handle government affairs, but these things are not his forte after all.

Therefore, he reused Jia Xu's eldest son Jia Mu, handed over all the backlog of government affairs in each county to him, and handed over more than 1,000 county soldiers to him.

After getting along day and night for more than half a month, Li Li found that Jia Mu was not as bad as Jia Xu said, his qualifications were mediocre, and he could only be a small official, which was useless.

What Jia Xu said may be a spur from every father to his son.

On the contrary, Jia Mu is a man of both civil and military skills, his martial arts are comparable to that of a second-rate general, and he has a strong ability to handle government affairs, and he is definitely a good hand at governing politics. Maybe he doesn't have the ability to handle the affairs of a state now, but it is more than enough to take care of the affairs of a county.

Jia Mu handled the administrative affairs of each county, Li Dian defended the southward pass, and Li Xian guarded the rear.

In this way, Li Li was able to free his hands in the shortest possible time and lead the army to conquer Guzang City without any worries.

In this expedition, Li Li's injuries had not healed, so he had to mobilize the strongest generals under his command to accompany the army.

At present, the strongest martial arts general under his command is Dian Wei, the commander of Long Xiangwei, Fan Yong, Li Zheng and Bo Cai are comparable in martial arts, and they all have the strength of the top generals. The martial arts of these three people are slightly stronger than Li Li, but the gap is limited, as if it is a slight gap in the same level.

Now, Li Li's martial arts have surpassed his younger brother Li Xian in an all-round way, and Li Xian is still stuck in the bottleneck of the first-class upper rank, and it is difficult to break through in the short term if there is no chance.

In this regard, Li Li is also helpless, after all, Li Xian is still young now, and the way of practicing martial arts, one by one, wants to eat a fat man, it is impossible.

Li Dian is the worst martial artist among the six main generals under Li Li's command, and he only has first-class mid-level martial arts. However, his strength is not in martial arts, but on training troops and defending the city, and he is rigorous in governing the army, cautious in handling things, and quite an elder.

Therefore, none of the six generals under Li Li's account are mediocre. Only Li Li's younger brother Li Xian, although he is strong in martial arts, he does not have the ability to take charge on his own, while the others are all good at fighting on the battlefield.

Among the six people, Li Li's most optimistic person is not Dian Wei, but Bo Cai, Fan Yong and Li Zheng.

Especially Bocai.

Li Li believes that Bocai has the talent of a commander-in-chief, and as long as he has more experience, he may be able to command tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops in the future. After all, Bocai once commanded more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops and fought with Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song in Changshe. Although he was eventually defeated and captured, he was not without talent. On the contrary, Bo Cai was the most talented general in the Yellow Turban Army, including the three Zhang Jiao brothers. Although these Yellow Turban generals were defeated and died later than Bocai, they did not have the brilliant record of Bocai. Because Bocai once beat Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song with their heads in their hands, they retreated again and again, and they were at a loss.

With this record, Bocai is enough to be proud of all the Yellow Turban generals and worthy of being the commander of an army.

The reason why Li Li values Bocai is not because he once defeated Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, but because he has had a brilliant experience, a fiasco, and a seven-year service to Zhu Jun after being captured.

In the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many naturally handsome people, such as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Zhuge Liang and other talented people, but they were not victorious and never defeated. On the contrary, they could not afford to lose, because they were all important ministers of one of the princes, and they were involved in the fate of the rise and fall of the vassal states.

In comparison, it is clear that Bocai is not enough to compare with the talents among these people, but Li Li does not see it that way.

Li Li believes that Bo Cai has experienced the ups and downs of his career as a military leader, suffered the catastrophe of life and death, endured the humiliation of selling himself into slavery, and disappeared for seven years. Now that he has the opportunity to lead the army again, what will change about him?

If Bocai commanded the soldiers back then, it was not a rabble of hundreds of thousands, but a brave and warlike Xiliang Iron Cavalry. So what will be the outcome of the Battle of the Yellow Turbans, and where will the general trend of the world go? Presumably, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song's army, as long as they are defeated, they can't run away if they want to; The Battle of the Yellow Turbans, if these two people were gone, what would be the situation?

Li Li really wanted to see Bocai's command ability, to see how much strength he still had to lead a large army after seven years of enduring humiliation.

However, this may happen sometime in the future, but not now.

Now Li Li can't fully trust Bo Cai, let alone hand over his soldiers and horses to Bo Cai to command. This is no longer a simple matter of trust, but a matter of life and death for Li Li himself.

In any case, Li Li will never put his net worth and life in the hands of others. This is his bottom line, and it has nothing to do with trusting or not.

In addition to Bocai, Fan Yong and Li Zheng don't look like they are five big and three thick, and their faces are majestic, but the two of them are indeed thick and fine, and they are quite talented generals. Only if they have enough experience, it may not be possible to command the three armies in the future, but it is indeed no problem to take charge alone, and it can be of great use.

As for Dian Weima, he charged into battle, slashed and captured the flag, he was absolutely competent, and he completed quite beautifully, winning the three armies.

However, if Dian Wei is allowed to be the commander of an army and lead the troops to fight, it will indeed be a little difficult for him. He is a fierce general on the battlefield, and he is also the most loyal and competent captain of the guard, and may also serve as a general to guard the pass, but he is definitely not the material for commanding the three armies.

After roughly finding out the strengths and shortcomings of the generals under his account, Li Li had to make corresponding arrangements for their appointment.

Making the best use of their talents is the way to employ people.

Li Li appointed Li Zheng as the vanguard, led five hundred dragon guards to set off first, kept a distance of ten miles from the army, and sent scouts to investigate the situation. Appoint Bocai to command the Chinese army, respond in the center, and ensure the rapid march of the army. Let Fan Yong Palace, escort the baggage and ordnance to keep up with the speed of the Chinese army as much as possible, and keep it within three miles at all times; In this way, we can ensure that the baggage is not lost, and the army has no worries.

A day of rapid marching down.

Li Li's army galloped along the mountain path for a hundred and fifty miles, which was still the pace of the march that had delayed some time in the morning. Otherwise, I don't dare to say that I can travel 300 miles a day, but I can still do it with a distance of 200 miles.

It was the middle of summer, and the days were long and the nights were short, and if it weren't for an hour and a half of rest at noon, the days would be long enough, eight hours. (Note: One hour is equivalent to two hours.) ）

When night falls, all birds return to their nests.

In the evening, Li Li's army set up camp at the entrance of a village called Taohua Village.

In Taohua Village, there are only more than 30 households, and the village is extremely hidden.

If Li Li's army hadn't been marching along the mountain paths, they wouldn't have found this peaceful village like a paradise.

The reason why Li Li chose to camp here was because he took a fancy to the gourd-like terrain of Peach Blossom Village.

The camp was set up at the mouth of the gourd, with extremely wide fields in the rear, and a slightly narrow pass in front, which was guarded by only a few archers, and the army could sleep peacefully for a good night.

After setting up the camp, Li Li led the yellow horse to walk on the field road in Taohua Village, looking at the plump ears of rice whose leaves had turned slightly yellow, and his heart was extremely quiet and peaceful.

If you can stay away from war and killing, be a hidden farmer, have a wife and children, have no disputes, and will not be discovered by the enemy, how comfortable and comfortable such a day is!

"I, Li Li, am not warlike by nature, and I died honorably in my previous life to maintain peace. Unexpectedly, since his rebirth, Lao Tzu has not had a stable life to live, racking his brains every day to think about things, and he has to fight on the battlefield every once in a while. Hey, since you don't let Lao Tzu have a good life, then no one wants to be stable! I, Li Li, will spend the next forty years with you, and see who is the strongest in the world, and who can laugh zuihou! ”

The quiet mountain village evoked many beautiful memories in Li Li's heart, but it made him feel irritated immediately. Because he is destined to have no chance of such a quiet life in his life.

Even if he wants to live this kind of secluded life as an ordinary person, there will be many people who will not let him go, and sooner or later they will come to the door and face each other with swords.

"Uncle, don't panic, you go slowly, we are not robbers, but officers and soldiers passing by here, temporarily camped here. We will leave early tomorrow morning, and it will not affect your life. ”

In the rice field, an old farmer in his fifties hid in the ears of rice and did not dare to show his head, but Li Li and his party got closer and closer, and in desperation, he had to climb up the ridge and run towards the village with difficulty.

Li Li smiled and shouted to the old farmer running in front, but the old farmer did not stop, and trotted with his head down and trembling.

"Let's go slowly, lest the old man be frightened, and if he falls unsteadily, it will be our sin!" Hehehe! ”

In the quiet mountain village, Li Li was in a particularly good mood, raising his hand to signal Dian Wei and the others to slow down, while he himself followed the old farmer slowly and walked towards Peach Blossom Village.
