In the first battle of Maple Gorge, Li Li's army lost 2,000 cavalry and burned a large number of baggage.

In the three days after the war, Li Dian and Fan Yong successively recovered more than 3,000 lost Pegasus thieves, as well as a large number of weapons and arrows.

At the west exit of Maple Leaf Canyon, Li Li's army camped here for five days to regroup and regroup.

More than 1,000 foot soldiers turned into light cavalry in the blink of an eye, and after a little training, they were scattered and supplemented to the battalions. And the three war horses under Li Li once again returned to their original numbers, still 5,000, no foot soldiers, all war horses.

There were very few soldiers under Li Li's account who could not ride horses. However, they may not be good at riding and archery, and they need to be trained and grown. Therefore, the combat power is a little worse than the previous five thousand iron horses, and it will take a period of time to run in and temper.

The art of riding and archery is the advantage of the Xiliang iron cavalry far superior to the army of the Kwantung princes, followed by the excellent war horse, zuihou is the fierce and brave fighting spirit and strong and tall physique of the Xiliang people.

In cold weapon warfare, strategy is important, but whether the soldiers who finally realize the strategy are strong or not is the key.

Zhuge Liang is almost a demon with a lot of wisdom, before Liu Bei's more than 700,000 troops conquered Eastern Wu, it can be said that every battle must be won, and all the strategies offered have worked, and they are powerful in the world.

However, after Liu Bei's defeat in Yiling, more than 700,000 elite soldiers were burned clean by Lu Xun, and since then, the combat power of Shu Han soldiers has plummeted. Zhuge Liang made a northern expedition to the Central Plains and went out of Qishan six times, but every time he was defeated by the Wei army of Yongliang, who was stationed in Yongliang, he was weak and strong, and stubbornly resisted. Of course, there are improper decision-making in this, but the most fundamental reason is that the combat effectiveness of the Shu army is limited. Although hundreds of thousands of troops were launched on the Northern Expedition every time, the actual combat effectiveness was far less than that of the soldiers in Liu Bei's period.

In the face of the Wei army, which was inferior in numbers, the Shu army was only a little short of capturing Yongliang and Erzhou every time, and the troops were directed towards the Central Plains. But it was such a small gap, but it took Zhuge Liang's life's work, and several Northern Expeditions were abandoned halfway, and they ended with regret.

Therefore, the strategy of the strategists is indispensable, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is the key to the victory or defeat of the war.

As long as Cao Cao's Chibi defeat and Liu Bei's Yiling fiasco do not occur, such major decision-making mistakes, the final outcome of the war will still depend on the number and combat effectiveness of the army.

・・・・・・ down to business.

Five days after the army was reorganized, Li Lijun once again pulled out the camp and marched westward, and the front of the army was directed at Wuwei County.

During this period, Huan Fei, the leader of the Pegasus thieves, sent a fast horse to send a message to Li Li, saying that Ma Chao and Ma Dai had fled back to Ma's house, and their identities were confirmed.

Huan Fei was very grateful to Li Li for this, and claimed that as long as Li Li was in danger in the future, he only needed to send scouts and tokens to inform him, and the Pegasus thieves would definitely rush to help with all their might. In fact, it is also an alliance with Li Li to help each other and benefit each other.

Yes, it's just an alliance.

On the territory of Liangzhou, the size of the official position is insignificant to many outlaws with soldiers and horses in hand.

Only strong strength is the most convincing thing, and everything else is in vain.

Because this is the western frontier of the Han Dynasty, no matter how big the official position is, it is not as deterrent as tens of thousands of troops; With thousands of dollars in his pocket, he is rich enough to rival the country, and he is even more feared by not having a heavy army.

Strength, soldiers and horses, territory, money and food, these are the most practical things, and they are also the foundation of whether Li Li can gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou.

With Li Li's existing thousands of war horses and dozens of carts of ordnance, the Pegasus thief's Huan Fei is still not eye-catching, and being able to form an alliance with Li Li is already a manifestation of friendship, and there is still a few elements of repaying favors.

Otherwise, Huan Fei crisscrossed the Western Regions, galloped and cooled Erzhou for many years, and there were more than 10,000 brave men in his hands, plus the 20,000 miscellaneous Pegasus thieves were cleaned by Li Li's hands. After that, Huan Fei will fully control the 20,000 light horsemen of the Pegasus Thieves, and his strength will not be weakened, but will become more and more powerful, and his combat effectiveness will rise to a new level. Coupled with the accumulation of his years of looting, his strength is far above Li Li, with this strength, how can he serve Li Li?

Although Li Li and Huan Fei still have a little friendship, and they have a good impression of each other, this is just a personal relationship, and strength is the key to making the other party surrender, and Li Li is not strong enough now.

Therefore, although Li Li loves Huan Fei very much, he can't immediately take it for his own use.

Perhaps, one day in the future, if the Pegasus Thieves hinder the expansion of Li Li's shili, they will fight each other again.

Seven days later, Li Li and his entourage were stationed in Wuwei County and temporarily stationed troops here.

Although there is only one word difference between Wuwei County and Wuwei County, the county governance of Wuwei County is not here, but in Guzang City, which is close to Zhangye County in the west.

Wuwei County is located in the hinterland of the county, with a population of tens of thousands, and is considered an upper-middle county in Wuwei County. In the city, only a few hundred old and weak soldiers are responsible for the daily defense of the city.

Since officially setting foot in the territory of Wuwei County, Li Li's army has not encountered much resistance along the way, and has traveled unhindered.

In just five days, Li Li sent Bo Cai and Li Dian's second generals to each lead a thousand light cavalry to subdue all the county towns south of Wuwei County, and screened the soldiers defending the city and reorganized them into an army.

By the time Li Li entered Wuwei County, he had received nearly 2,000 soldiers from Shoucheng County, and after excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, he had more than 1,200 foot soldiers.

Wuwei County Ya.

Jia Mu hurriedly walked into the main hall and reported to Li Liyu in a respectful voice: "My lord, Wuwei County, like other counties and counties, has empty treasury, and all the money, grain, and ordnance have been emptied. Moreover, judging from the traces left in the warehouse, ・・・・・・ must have been moved out in the past two days. ”

Although Li Li had been prepared in his heart, after hearing Jia Mu's report, he still couldn't help but feel angry and frowned slightly.

This is not the first county office to be emptied. All the county government treasury south of Wuwei County was emptied, as if it had been looted, and not a single grain or half a piece of pig iron was left.

It's so neat and so beautifully done!

In addition, the public order in various county towns is extremely chaotic, ruffians and hooligans are rampant, and the streets dare to insult women from good families, rampant and lawless; As a result, many people ran away from their homes and tried to take refuge in Jincheng.

For this reason, Li Li gave Bo Cai, Li Dian, Li Zheng and others an order to kill, and in five days, thousands of ruffians were arrested in each county, and they were all taken to the city gate to be beheaded and displayed to the public, and the corpses were violently corpsed for three days to set an example.

Under such a canonical punishment, the common people were curbed from fleeing one after another, and Li Zheng's thousand-man cavalry also intercepted the people who went to Jincheng, and distributed some food to appease the people's sincere fear.

In the process of arresting the local ruffians and hooligans, Li Li also learned from these people about the recent events in the county government offices.

About ten days ago, Li Kan and Cheng Yin, who occupied Guzang City, went to various counties to rob and take prisoners in two ways. They emptied the county treasury, forcibly expropriated and plundered, forcibly took away the young and strong men and young women in the city, and looted the money and food of the common people and rich families. And the person who kidnapped the counties south of Wuwei County was Cheng Yin.

Cheng Yin personally led more than 3,000 troops to plunder the counties in the south of Wuwei, from the county government treasury to the township and pavilion villages to which the counties belonged, they did not let go, like a carpet robbery, looted one by one.

Cheng Yin's evil deeds made Li Li extremely hateful.

You must know that most of the soldiers and horses led by Cheng Yin are young and strong children from this county, and they are also born in poor families and born and raised in Wuwei. As a result, a group of honest children, under the leadership of Cheng Yin, the devil, actually killed their fellow villagers, plundered money and food, and robbed young people and women.

It is simply inferior to a beast, and a hundred deaths are not enough to make up for the sins it has committed.

"Cheng Yin is a thief, lawless, and extremely evil! One day, Li must have hacked you alive with his own hands! ”

Cheng Yinzhi's rampant stirred up the deepest memory buried in Li Li's heart.

Later generations invaded the land of China and wantonly implemented the three-light policy, which was a heinous crime, which countless descendants of Yan and Huang will not forget for a hundred years.

Now Cheng Yin's evil deeds are almost equivalent to those of later generations.

The only difference is that Cheng Yin didn't dare to burn and kill wantonly, because most of the soldiers under his command were natives of Wuwei County.

Once he killed too much, the soldiers under his command saw their relatives die tragically in front of him, and when they couldn't bear it anymore, they would inevitably mutiniate en masse and turn their swords and guns at him, the commander; Then he will die without a place to be buried, and he will become a laughing stock for thousands of years.
