"Boom!"

Dark clouds are rolling in the sky, thunder is bursting, and thunder penetrates the world.

"Click———"

A flash of white lightning swept through the sky, enveloping the wind and howling, rolling up the dust.

Lightning and thunder roared, roaring the world.

Longxiang Li Mansion.

In the main hall, Li Li and Li Dao had a very happy conversation.

Listening to the wind and thunder whistling outside the door, the uncle and nephew drank tea and talked, quite having the artistic conception of sitting on the fishing boat in the wind and waves.

Li Li knelt down on his knees, which really shocked and moved Li Dao.

With Li Li's current strength and status, there are few people in the Han world who can make him kneel and worship, not even the Son of Heaven who is high above the court. In addition, Li Li's parents have long passed away, and at the age of sixteen, he took his younger brother Li Xian and dozens of domestic servants to be swept out by Li Wei's wife Yang. Based on this section alone, the relationship between Li Li and Li Dao's uncle and nephew has long been broken, and if he and Li Dao parted ways on this, the world would not make irresponsible remarks and criticize themselves.

Now, Li Li has 300,000 Xiliang troops in his hands, holding the Son of Heaven in his hands, dominating the wind and clouds, and his power is monstrous. The military and political power is in his hands, and his prestige and strength are not much better than Dong Zhuo in the past, and even surpass, and the deterrent power of the princes of the world is far greater than that of Dong Zhuo before. Because Li Li is far younger than Dong Zhuo, his actual power is not inferior to Dong Zhuo before. From this, it is not difficult to imagine that Li Liqi 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 of the Xiliang Army is far better than Dong Zhuo's. The 300,000 Xiliang Army was all disrupted and reorganized, and none of the generals dared to resist, which made the entire reorganization process extremely smooth. It only took half a month to announce the completion of the whole army. With such a huge and arduous army rectification operation, even if Dong Zhuo was alive, he did not have such a big heart, nor did he have such strong self-confidence, let alone fully grasp the strength of the army.

Because although Dong Zhuo was the supreme commander of the Xiliang Army during his lifetime, he occupied the name of commander at most, and no one under his command opposed his orders in person, but it was difficult to make Dong Zhuo satisfied with how to implement the military order. In fact, Dong Zhuo did not have full control over the Xiliang Army. Some of the generals with heavy troops are only nominally attached to his command, and they do their own thing; For example, Huayin guards Duan Xuan and Fan Chou are typical representatives. 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 be divided into internal strife. has been keeping his head in obscurity, turning one eye open and closing one eye. As long as these generals obey their orders. Without a clear-cut rebellion, he let it go and did not want to make a big move.

It is precisely because of Dong Zhuo's connivance that the Xiliang generals are getting bigger and bigger, and then the tail is not falling. So much so that as soon as Dong Zhuo died, the Xiliang generals were out of control. Each has a ghost, relying on the soldiers and horses in their hands, waiting for the price to sell, and coveting the power of the marquis. There are even people who try to ascend to Dong Zhuo's former power and status.

This kind of situation of peace on the surface, but in fact intrigues, it is difficult for outsiders to understand the ups and downs, but Li Wei, as the nominal commander of the Xiliang Army, is in it, and he is constrained and tormented everywhere.

However, now the Xiliang Army has been completely subdued by Li Li. At the sound of an order, hundreds of thousands of troops were broken up and reorganized into a new army. With Li Li's courage and mind alone, Li Dao is worthy of it, and in addition, he admires Li Li's strong strength and clever skills. In the process of reorganizing the army, Li Li did not participate in the reorganization of the army on the surface, but in fact, he personally went to the major barracks, ate and slept with ordinary officers and men, mingled, and invisibly won the support of the majority of officers and men in the whole army. Li Li stayed in the barracks for half a month, and his prestige in the army increased day by day, which directly prompted some middle- and low-level generals in the army to show the slightest sign of resistance to reorganization, and they were quickly wiped out, making it difficult for the resistance Shili to form a climate, and quietly disappeared in the vigorous army reorganization movement.

The completion of the army means that Li Li's intention to control the whole army has been realized. The main generals of the ten main battalions of the whole army were almost all the generals under Li Li's direct lineage, and all the officers and men of the former Xiliang Army were scattered and incorporated into the Wuwei Army, and the officers and men of the Wuwei Army occupied an absolute dominant position in the new army. This reorganization of the army can be described as a veritable merger of the Wuwei Army with the Xiliang Army to form a new army that is completely subordinate to Li Li's orders.

During the half-month reorganization of the army, Li Dao completely stayed out of the matter, stayed in the mansion to cultivate his temperament, and studied behind closed doors. However, it was difficult to avoid his ears and eyes on the major and minor affairs in the army, and every day he reported to him the affairs of the general, so he knew the situation of the whole army well. It was precisely because he was clear about the situation in the army that he was filled with righteous indignation, his heart was depressed, and he couldn't sit still. Because Li Li incorporated almost all the Xiliang Army, including his descendants of Li Dao, none of them remained, and all of them were incorporated into the New Army. What made him most indignant was that there was no place for him in the new army, and he seemed to be excluded, so that he, the famous general of Xiliang, actually became a bare-bones general, with the name of a general, but there was no soldier under him.

For this reason, during this period of time, Li Dao has a very short temper, often gets angry for no reason, doesn't think about tea and dinner, and can't sleep at night.

However, there are disadvantages and advantages to everything.

Through this period of silence, in addition to being depressed, Li Wei's mentality also changed, and he began to face himself, attach importance to Li Li, and occasionally examine himself. After correcting his mentality, he found that he had done a lot of things wrong, the biggest of which was that he should not give his nephew Li Li a war letter, let alone covet the powerful position left by Dong Zhuo. If the Xiliang Army really fell into the hands of him Li Wei, then he would never be able to do such a drastic reorganization of the army as Li Li, let alone completely subdue Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others. If this is the case, the Xiliang army can only temporarily maintain stability on the surface, but the open and secret struggle between the generals in the army cannot be eradicated, and sooner or later it will inevitably cause a catastrophe, and it is inevitable that it will fall apart. Rather than this, it is better to hand over the army to his nephew Li Li, anyway, the uncle and nephew are close to each other, and after Li Li takes charge of the army, he will definitely not tolerate his own uncle.

In this way, after Li Wei learned from the pain, he felt that he couldn't stand his nephew Li Li. If it weren't for his selfishness, his desire for power was too heavy. There will be no all-out decisive battle between the two armies. If there was no battle in the southern suburbs, the 90,000 Xiliang soldiers would not have died in vain, and the Xiliang army after the whole army would not be more than 300,000, but 400,000 troops. It's a pity that the war that could have been avoided finally happened, and the big mistake has been made, and it is too late to regret it.

"Whoa!"

Outside the main hall, after lightning and thunder, heavy rain came as scheduled.

In the hall, Li Wei listened to Li Li talk about the trivial matters of the inner mansion that happened recently. It seems absent-minded and unrelenting.

Suddenly, Li Li's tone paused slightly, and he said with a smile: "Uncle, the little nephew has something to report to you." Xin'er, Yu'er and Wan'er are already pregnant. Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and my uncle will be my uncle! Hehehe———"

"Ahh Li Dao was shocked when he heard this. The expression was shocked. There was a look of surprise between his eyebrows. Then he asked urgently, "Is this true?" The three of them have it, have you asked the imperial doctor to wait in Yiwu? ”

"Huh? This 、、、、、、" Li Li didn't expect Li Dao to think about it so comprehensively, so he sighed and whispered embarrassedly: "The little nephew has been busy with military affairs recently, so he couldn't find time to take care of Xin'er and them, and he forgot to send the imperial doctor in the palace to Yiwu to listen to them at any time." ”

"You. What a mess! Xin'er and Yu'er are pregnant, this is a big deal, and other things can be pushed back! Seeing that Li Li was unprepared, Li Wei suddenly forgot his troubles. Accusing without hesitation.

Li Li smiled knowingly and said, "What my uncle said is very true, and my little nephew will definitely do it." However, Xin'er and Yu'er are in good health, and their pregnancy has not been long, so they are fine for the time being. The little nephew invited his uncle to come and talk about it this time, and he really had something to ask for, I wonder if my uncle can agree? ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Wei's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and he groaned in astonishment.

Li Li asked with a smile: "The little nephew wants to ask my uncle to take charge of the court, take over the government affairs of the DPRK and China, take charge of the power of the world, and sit in Chang'an." I wonder what my uncle thinks? ”

"Why did Wenchang say this?" Li Wei looked at Li Li in confusion and asked in surprise.

Li Li said with a firm expression: "Uncle still remember what the little nephew said in the past? You and my uncle and nephew are blood relatives, and they share honor and disgrace. Although Chang'an has been stabilized at present, the hundred officials of the DPRK and the central government will certainly not sit idly by and watch our uncle and nephew take charge of the world's power, and they will still secretly fight the same way as they did with Dong Xiangguo, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of our uncle and nephew. It's just that we know that these old ministers have hidden evil intentions, but we can't directly dismiss them from their posts and expel them from Chang'an, because this will make our uncles and nephews infamous and criticized by the world. Therefore, the little nephew wanted to invite his uncle to sit in Chang'an and take charge of the court, after all, his uncle was well-informed and knew a lot about the tricks of these old ministers. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's tone paused slightly, and then said: "In addition, at present, there are still princes in Chang'an Sanfu and Liangzhou, and the officials of various counties and counties are also disobedient to us. Therefore, the younger nephew planned to invite his uncle to sit in the court, while I led the troops to the west, checking the officials of various counties and counties along the way, exterminating the remnants of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and unifying the two states of Xiliang. After Xiliang is completely pacified, the little nephew will not return to Chang'an, but will sit in Anding County, send troops to the Qiang tribe and the territory of the Southern Xiongnu, and clear the border troubles of Liangzhou in one fell swoop. Since then, the two prefectures of Xiliang have sent troops to exterminate the barbarians, while vigorously developing agriculture and building canals, and taking two measures at the same time. After two or three years, the two states of Xiliang will be able to recover their vitality, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and they will be able to support 300,000 Xiliang troops. After the completion of the matter of raising the people, our army can use troops on a large scale, and can capture Bingzhou in the north, Jingxiang in the south, and Hanzhong and Xichuan in the southwest. ”

Hearing Li Li's words, Li Wei's heart was surging, his expression was extremely excited, and his eyes were full of excitement. After a while, he said again and again: "Since Wenchang trusts Uncle Wei so much, I should do my best to help you achieve a great cause." It's just that 、、、、、、 I have been leading troops to fight all year round, and I am not good at government affairs, and even the town guards Chang'an is afraid 、、、、、、 I have no heart! ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled and said, "Uncle don't worry. Li Ru assisted his uncle in handling the political affairs of the two prefectures of Xiliang, and Li Xuan was in charge of the political and agricultural affairs of the two prefectures of Xiliang, and the commander of the Chang'an garrison was Tietuo, who would obey his uncle's dispatch and resolutely did not dare to disobey the order. Uncle has concerns in his heart, is it because you don't have any soldiers and horses in your hands? If that's the case, then my uncle is wrong. You are not a bare-bones general, let alone a soldierless, in fact, you have always had a strong army. No matter when, as long as the little nephew is still alive, I, Li Li, will be a soldier under my uncle's command!

Our uncles and nephews are one, sharing weal and woe. The soldiers and horses under the command of the little nephew are the soldiers and horses of the uncle. Whoever dares to disrespect his uncle and disrespect his orders will be disobeying my Li Li's orders, and he will be severely punished! ”

Li Li's words made the only remaining knot in Li Wei's heart completely disappear, and a knowing smile appeared on his face. It was only at this time that he suddenly understood the deep meaning of Li Li not arranging a military position for him. Everything is as Li Li said, he Li Wei is an elder, and he is also the uncle who raised Li Li himself. As an elder, you should have the mind and bearing to be respectful, how can you have a small belly and chicken intestines?

Why should uncles and nephews lead an army, as long as he and his nephew are always of the same mind, aren't the armies the same in anyone's hands? Although he was not directly in charge of a battalion of men, he could still mobilize the army, and the generals in the army dared to disobey their orders. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
