――――――

"Yang Ding be careful!"

In an exclamation, many generals in front of the Xiliang army were in an uproar, and Gan Ning, who turned around, also saw this scene and urgently reminded Yang Ding to dodge.

It's a pity that it's too late, and Yang Ding, who has been frightened, has already lost his due adaptability at this time.

The moment he heard the exclamation, Yang Ding looked back at a loss and didn't know what to do, and at the moment he turned his head, the war knife thrown by Yan Liang instantly pierced his chest, and then was swept up by the violent force on the war knife.

"Ahh

In the terrible scream, Yang Ding fell to the ground and died instantly.

And Yan Liang rushed to the moment Yang Ding landed, rode his horse and swept over, pulled out his sword casually, and quickly broke away from the front of the Xiliang army, and returned to fight Ganning again.

In fact, Yan Liang didn't have to be nervous, because the place where Yang Ding died tragically was still two hundred steps away from the Xiliang army, and no one in front of the Xiliang army was out of battle. It was because he could calmly withdraw his sword, and he could even provoke the Xiliang army, and then return to the horse to meet Gan Ning without hurrying.

However, Yan Liang rushed through so eagerly, which showed the timidity in his heart, or he was afraid of some generals of the Xiliang Army in his heart, for fear that if he was half a step slower, he would be intercepted or besieged by the Xiliang generals. Such an expression is inconsistent with his violent temperament, which invisibly exposes his fierce character, that is, he seems to be fearless, but in fact he uses violence to cover up his nature of revenge and cautiousness.

"Yan Liang is a despicable and shameless thief, and he used to trap and kill General Hu Zhen before. Now he attacked and killed General Yang Ding from behind, such a sinister villain, everyone will be punished. The last general is invited to fight. Kill Yan Liang! This was Huan Fei's reaction after witnessing Yan Liang's sneak attack on Yang Ding.

"Yan thieves are extremely rampant, they regard my Xiliang generals as nothing, and they deceive people too much, and the last general will please fight Yan thieves!" This is the voice of the always taciturn Dian Wei.

"The last general invites the Yan thief to avenge the two generals Hu Zhen and Yang Ding!"

"The last general, please come out of the war thief general Yan Liang!"

“??????”

Seeing that Yan Liang attacked and killed Yang Ding in front of his own phalanx, the Xiliang generals were filled with righteous indignation and excitement, and asked Li Li to fight. threatened to kill Yan Liang.

Seeing that the two generals who had just been alive and vigorous were in front of the corpse formation in the blink of an eye, Li Li's face at the moment was also ugly, his face was gloomy and cold. A pair of deep eyes flashed with cold light, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, and he was already on the verge of an angry outburst. It's just that he has always been good at forbearance, and his personality is weird and unpredictable. Extreme self-control. It's hard to figure it out with common sense. The same is true at this time.

Just as the generals of Xiliang asked for help to fight, Li Li, who originally looked gloomy, did not become angry, but gently waved his hand to signal the generals to retreat into the formation, and his sharp eyes told everyone not to move, and not to fight.

After the generals turned their horses back to the battle, looking at the fierce battle between Gan Ning and Yan Liang, who were also angry on the battlefield in front of the battle, Li Li frowned and muttered: "Although Hu Zhen and Yang Ding's two generals are hungry for power, they have never been disrespectful to me. Nor have they disobeyed my commands. These two people are very scheming, if they are used on the right path. There must be something to be done, but what ????? It's a pity to die on the battlefield like this time! ”

Although Li Li did not turn his head sideways when he spoke, Guo Jia clearly knew that Li Li's words contained reproach, but it was just inconvenient to say it explicitly, but in fact, he was quite dissatisfied with his private instructions to Hu Zhen and Yang Ding to make meritorious contributions before the battle.

"The lord is angry, this time it is indeed a micro-minister who has trespassed."

Guo Jia, who heard the meaning of Li Li's words, immediately admitted his mistake respectfully, and then said softly: "My Xiliang prefectures and counties have become martial arts, emphasizing military force over literature, and all military and political matters are given priority to the army. In recent years, the military and political situation in Xiliang has been calm, and it seems to be a smooth transition, but in fact there are many undercurrents and many hidden dangers. And these hidden dangers are mainly concentrated in two places, one is the hundred officials in the DPRK and the other is the army. The court dispute is not to be feared by the lord, as long as the lord makes up his mind, the night can be settled; However, the generals in the army have different aspirations, but there are endless disasters and it is difficult to determine which will happen.

On weekdays, the lord personally sits in Gyeonggi, and naturally no one dares to anger the lord and the tiger, one by one, he keeps to himself and acts according to orders, and no one dares to disobey the lord's order. However, once the lord left Gyeonggi Chang'an, it was a different scene, and some generals in important positions acted arbitrarily and conspiracy against each other, and even coveted the position of the three princes and nine secretaries, and were ready to move. As soon as the news of the lord's misfortune reached Chang'an, the whole capital immediately became a rumor, and Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were even more bold, openly leading the troops into the city to control the city gate, and had a frontal conflict with General Tietuo, almost facing each other and setting off the rebellion in Chang'an again.

Wei Chen still remembers that the lord was furious at that time, and immediately decided to reorganize the army and completely eliminate hidden dangers, so as to prevent such disasters from happening in the future. However, after the lord returned to Chang'an, he remembered the old feelings, sympathized with these restless generals who had been fighting for a long time, and took care of their past military exploits and opened the net, dealt with them leniently, and even did not punish them.

With all due respect, the lord's move is really inappropriate, too tolerant and benevolent, and it is not done by the monarchs and emperors of all dynasties. The kings of the past have never needed mercy, let alone blindly forgiving and tolerating, and they have ruled the world by grace, not by mercy.

The so-called royal road is the way of benevolence and righteousness. The benevolence of the emperor is not benevolence, nor is it tolerance or even connivance with the military officials under his rule; Instead, he was lenient to the people of Limin, lightly taxed and lightly forced labor, and advised the peasants to teach and govern the Qingming, so that the people could live a good life. The righteousness of the emperor lies in filial piety and faithfulness, and the emperor's filial piety is a model for the people of the world, and he establishes moral ethics; The emperor is true to his words and deeds, which is faithfulness and the flaunting of all walks of life in the world. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia paused, and looked up at Li Li slightly, hoping to see joy and anger on Li Li's face. If Li Li looked displeased or angry, there was no need for him to say any more, just stop at the point, otherwise he would probably be angry and troubled by Li Li. However. To his surprise, Li Li's face was neither angry nor joyful, calm and waveless, and his eyes were deep and quiet. Still watching the battle on the battlefield, it seemed to be unmoved, and it seemed to be listening.

Seeing this, Guo Jiahui smiled secretly and continued: "The emperors of the past dynasties valued Enwei, and Enwei is not a trick of power, but a way to control it. It is exclusive to those who are in high places. The so-called grace and power, grace in the front and prestige in the back, its purpose is to make the military officials under his command in awe. Always be vigilant about where they come from and where their responsibilities are, and they must not trespass, exceed the system, or disobey. This is the origin of the matter of the loyalty of the king.

This leads to the matter in front of him, in fact, the lord has long known that there have always been some unstable factors in our army. That is what Wechen said about hidden dangers. And the hidden danger comes from some senior generals in the army. That is, some of the commanders and generals before the lord annexed the Xiliang army, they always thought that they were not the lord's subordinate generals, and the lord would not trust them. For this reason, no matter how the lord rewarded them, they would still subconsciously think that the lord favored one over the other, and let a large number of young generals from the Wuwei army ride on their heads. There are not a few veterans with such stubborn thoughts, although they have already obtained the official position and title they want, they are not satisfied. Still coveting higher and bigger officials.

In this regard, the lord initially adopted the method of tolerating and comparing. Try to make them really integrate into the army, and put away the non-divisive thoughts that should not be there. It's a pity that until now, with little success, these people who were taken by the lord's tiger did not dare to blatantly violate military discipline, but they continued to use small means in secret, wantonly wooing middle and low-level generals, and there were bigger schemes in addition to collecting money. Such trivial matters, the lord naturally has no time to take care of them, so he is handled by Weichen and Yuan Zhong, Wen You, Wen He and military advisors.

In the battle of Dongyuan City, General Wang Fang was killed in battle, which made Hu Zhen, Xu Ding, and other generals with their accomplices deeply uneasy, thinking that the lord was going to settle accounts after the autumn and was going to attack them. So Weichen and Wenhe pushed the boat down the river, and built yì They made more military exploits, as long as they had enough military exploits, they would definitely be safe and sound. That's where today's events come from. ”

Before Guo Jia finished speaking, he heard Li Li ask in a deep voice, "Why do you want to do this?" You should know that doing so is actually sending them to their deaths? Do they have to die, and only death can solve the problem? ”

"The crockpot will inevitably break at the well, and the general will die sooner or later." Guo Jia continued without thinking: "This sentence was said by the lord, and Weichen has always kept it in mind. For these generals, who have led troops to fight all year round, if they depose all their officials, it is simply worse than death; However, if they are not dealt with, they will become more and more unscrupulous and bold in the future, and the danger will be even worse at that time.

Therefore, after repeated deliberations with the Weichen monk Li Xuan, Li Ru and Wenhe, the military advisors of Wenhe, they unanimously decided to use the method mentioned by the lord. Although it was cruel to do so, at least it preserved their reputation, kept their wives and children young, and after dying on the battlefield, they could still be crowned wives and sons, glorify their ancestors, and set an example of loyalty and righteousness for their children and grandchildren. Therefore, Weichen believes that this is the most merciful way, the most dignified way to die, and the best destination for them. ”

When he heard Guo Jia's last words, Li Li turned his head in twilight, looked at Guo Jia in deep surprise, then bowed his head slightly, and said softly: "Maybe you think it's decent to die like this, but I, Li Li, disdain it." But there is some truth in what you just said, maybe I was too merciful and indulged in their mistakes again and again, and never repented, so that nothing like this will happen again. You also have to stop in moderation, some people do not have to die, but you have to spare others and spare others! ”

When he said this, Li Li was actually saying another sentence in his heart: "I didn't expect you literati to be so vicious, far more ruthless than I expected!" ”

At the same time, Guo Jia's words touched Li Li a lot, and he really taught him a lesson, entitled "What is the way of the emperor".
