A glimmer of morning light pierces the sky, driving away the darkness and welcoming the arrival of a new day.

In the early morning, the chickens and dogs in Taohua Village bark and smell each other, the birds and beasts stretch their singing voices, and many animals swim in the jungle thorns, looking for delicious food.

The mountains and rivers are still the same, and the streams are murmuring; The fragrance of rice flowers comes to the nose, and the fragrance of flowers wafts away with the wind.

It's a delightful morning.

The mountains and rivers in the wilderness show the infinite creation of nature, which makes people forget to return and revel in it.

There is great beauty in heaven and earth without speaking; This is the eternal truth that coexists with humanity.

When the first rays of morning light shone into Taohua Village, Li Li's army at the entrance of the village had already set off from the village, and more than 3,000 light horsemen slowly left this secluded small mountain village in the morning dew.

Hundreds of villagers in the village came to see off with tears in their eyes, not to see off Li Lijun, but to bid farewell to the 38 young people in the village who defected to Li Li.

These thirty-eight young and strong, almost one person from every household in the village, and the strongest men in the entire Peach Blossom Village followed Li Li's army. Among them, the Li family and the Teng family are traveling with their families, and in a few years, there will be no more imprints of their two families in Taohua Village.

After a fierce battle last night, the Teng brothers showed their strength almost perfectly, and Li Li also met their expectations.

Teng Xiao was appointed by Li Li as the deputy commander of the Longxiang battalion, and temporarily shared a thousand-man light cavalry with Fan Yong; Teng Yu was appointed as the deputy commander of Long Xiangwei and served as the deputy general of Dian Wei.

The thirty-eight hunters of Peach Blossom Village were all assigned to the Dragon Guard, and more than half of them were appointed as team leaders and centurions; There is also a tun chief, named Meng Chong, who is only fifteen years old, seven feet eight inches tall, handsome, but has the strength of a first-class late peak.

After Li Li found out about this person, he did not test his martial arts, but talked with him for half an hour, talked about the classic battles of the Qin and Han dynasties, and immediately promoted him to be the commander of Long Xiangwei.

Since then, nearly half of the grassroots generals in Li Li's personal soldier Long Xiangwei are from Peach Blossom Village.

It can be seen that he is particularly favored by the people of Peach Blossom Village, and he is extremely courteous, all of them are exceptionally promoted and reused, and no one is missed.

For Li Li, this move is no less than a big gamble, and it is extremely risky.

It doesn't take much time for Teng Yu to master more than half of the Dragon Guard, and Teng Xiao can gradually control a thousand-person team.

If the Teng brothers had ill intentions, Li Li would be in danger, and half of the three thousand iron horsemen on this trip would be in the hands of the Teng brothers, and they would be in danger of capsizing at any time.

However, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and it is also Li Li's courtesy and favor to the Teng brothers, which is actually a means to win people over.

If the two brothers of the Teng family had different ambitions and bad intentions, then they would definitely fail and die without a place to be buried.

What is Camp Longchamp? It was an old tribe that had followed Li Dao for many years, and after Li Li took over, he took great pains to transform the iron horse.

How did Long Xiangwei come about? Most of them were the personal soldiers of Li Li and Li Wei's uncle and nephew, and some of them were personally selected by him and Dian Wei one by one.

What's more, Li Li Weishenme wants to arrange Teng Yu, whose martial arts are not inferior to Dian Wei, in Long Xiangwei, and arrange Teng Xiao, who is old and serious, to Fan Yong's side, and Li Zheng and Bo Cai are uneasy to insert a young man in Peach Blossom Village in the army?

The art of maneuvering is to control a delicate balance at all times, and then stabilize this balance and form a joint force, so that the maximum potential and cohesion of your men can be brought into play.

Li Zheng and Bocai were naturally not as close to Li Li as Dian Wei and Fan Yong, but Li Li arranged the Teng brothers by Dian Wei and Fan Yong's side, which invisibly made Li Zheng and Bocai feel Li Li's absolute trust in them, and at the same time showed Li Li's respect and favor to the Teng brothers.

It's really a lot of work, and it's wonderful.

As for Li Li's trust in the Teng brothers, after all, the contact between the two sides is too short, and it is reasonable to take precautions.

Trust is built over time, not overnight.

Overall, Li Li's trip to Taohua Village recruited three brothers Li Xuan and Teng in one fell swoop, one literary and two martial arts, and also picked up more than 30 young hunters with extraordinary skills by the way.

It's really a good luck to go out, an unexpected joy, and a bumper harvest!

Let's not talk about Li Xuan's talent for the time being, but as long as the Teng brothers have no problem with their conduct, Li Li will earn it, and he will make a lot of money!

In one fell swoop, he brought two top generals whose martial arts were not inferior to Dian Wei under his command, even if these two were just pure martial artists, and they had no ability to lead troops to fight, and they were also haode in battle.

When he was complacent, Li Li couldn't help but think of Huan Fei, the big leader of the Pegasus Thieves, who had limited generals under him last time and failed to capture him alive and let him show his might, and then led his troops away.

If he met Huan Fei again now, Li Li would not let him come and go freely.

There are three powerful generals, Dian Wei and Teng brothers, even if he really plugs in his wings and becomes a flying tiger, the three of them can also rip off his wings and knock him to the dust; There is only the share of those who are tied up, and there is no room for bargaining.

················

The small city of Xiutu is located in the northernmost part of Wuwei County, bordering the territory of the Southern Xiongnu.

This small county, which is said to be small, is actually very large in area, but the population is sparse, so it can only be called a small county.

It has been plundered by foreigners all the year round, and the people have no livelihood and fled in all directions, resulting in a large area of land that has been uncultivated and barren for a long time, and there is no one for hundreds of miles.

Li Li and his entourage set out from Wuwei County and arrived at the hundred-mile wasteland outside the city of Hutu after several days.

On this trip, Li Li had already done a thorough job. The army marched from the middle of Wuwei County, diagonally to the northernmost city of Xiutu, and then went straight from the wasteland of Xiutu to the city of Guzang.

Such a marching route, although there were many detours, reduced the fighting and collision with the counties along the way, ensured that the troops were not damaged to the greatest extent, and smashed the old nest of Cheng Yin and Li Kan's two thieves - Guzang City.

At the same time, such a long detour of the army can also avoid disturbing the civilian people of the counties along the way, and preserve the existing population and strength of Wuwei County as much as possible.

Originally, there was no so-called wasteland in Xiutu County, but the land has been deserted for a long time, overgrown with weeds, wild trees and artemisia grass grow tall enough, poisonous snakes, rats and hares and other animals are entrenched in it, and wolves are often infested; As a result, a huge area of cultivated land has become a wasteland, stretching for hundreds of miles, connected to the surrounding mountains and rivers.

Looking into the distance, Li Li couldn't help but wonder, in the future, Liangzhou was full of wind and sand all day long, and desertification was serious, but there was no sign of desertification here at the moment!

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the big trees shade the sun, and as far as the eye can see, the lush and lush scene is full of eyes, and there is no sign of yellow sand flying.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Li thought that after the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two states of Liang were constantly in turmoil, and dozens of small dynasties rose successively, such as: Western Jin Dynasty, Western Liang, Later Han, Later Zhou and other vassal states were countless, and they fought for hundreds of years. Fighting so viciously every day, no matter how much the land and forest vegetation are burned and exhausted, if it does not become a desert, what else can it become.

In the evening, the army camped.

Li Li originally wanted to set up camp on the hillside, but Li Xuan immediately raised a different opinion.

"My lord, my subordinates have suggested that the army camp on a dry, low-lying river, so that the shadows of the trees in the wasteland can be used to hide the army's tracks. I hope the lord will think twice! ”

Li Li's eyes rolled and asked calmly, "Yuan Zhong, the army is camped in the low-lying river valley, but it carries a lot of risks. If it rains heavily at night or someone deliberately stores water upstream, then our entire army is in danger of being destroyed at any time. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. However, the subordinates still insisted that the army camp in the valley for three reasons.

First, there has been a severe drought in the world since the beginning of spring today, and there has not been heavy rain for half a year, and even if there is sporadic light rain in the river valley, it will not help and it will not be able to form a stream at all. The subordinates watched the sky for a few days and nights and found that there would be no rain in the next few days, so they could camp in the valley with peace of mind.

Second, the Xiutu Wasteland is located in the north of Wuwei County, with higher terrain, and it is a year of great drought, and Liangzhou has less rain. Therefore, it is unlikely that there will be a large water system upstream that can overwhelm the camp in one fell swoop. The lord only needs to send a hundred scouts to explore the twenty miles along the river valley, and with these twenty miles of the river valley as a buffer to absorb the water source, even if someone impounds water and wants to flood our army, it is a fool's dream.

Third, if the army is camped on the high ground of a hillside, it seems to be worry-free, but in fact it is extremely dangerous. Once someone ignites the weeds around the wasteland, the fire can instantly form a prairie fire, and our army will be in danger at that time. In the year of the great drought, these artemisia grasses are the most vigorous plants in the wasteland, and they are everywhere, but they are also the most flammable. Don't look at its verdant greenery, once it catches fire, it will crackle and burn rapidly, and then spread to all the wastelands except the river valley. ”

After Li Li listened to Li Xuan's words, he was unconsciously shocked into a cold sweat and had palpitations.

More than 3,000 troops have been marching for several days, and it is absolutely impossible to say that their whereabouts have not been revealed so far. If the army sleeps in the mountains at night, but the camp is set on fire, the result is really unimaginable.

Immediately, Li Li ordered Bocai to personally lead 300 scouts along the valley for 30 miles, and ordered the army to camp in the dry valley.
