――――――

Hangu Pass, the great general.

In the main hall, after reading the letter silk, Li Li casually stuffed his hand into the cuffs, and strode to the upper steps and sat down.

On both sides of the hall, the generals of Xiliang have been waiting for a long time, with Jia Xu and Guo Jia on the left as the leader, and Bo Cai and Teng Xiao on the right as the head, and more than 50 major generals are all seated.

In the middle of the lobby, there was a sturdy general kneeling at this time, and the outfit should be a Xiliang general.

This person knelt on the ground, and tied his hands, as if he was guilty of guilt, it seemed that he was wearing a guilty body, and he was waiting for Li Li to punish him at the moment.

"I'll wait to see my lord!"

"Your brother doesn't have to be formal, just get up and sit down."

Raising his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, Li Li smiled and said, "There are seven more days to pass the New Year." There is no war in the near future, you don't have to be nervous, take advantage of this time to relax, and after the New Year, it will be the time for you to kill the enemy and make contributions. ”

"Thank you for your leniency." The generals responded in unison.

Then Huan Fei smiled and said: "Since it is ordered by the lord, how dare we disobey the order." But??? Shouldn't Prohibition be more lenient, otherwise it's fun? Please be clear. ”

"You are really looking for an opportunity to speak, stubborn and untamable, and you won't change your dead nature!" Li Li scolded with a smile, and then bowed slightly: "Okay, our army has been fighting for half a year, and we should really relax a little and let the soldiers have a good New Year." From now until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The whole army can drink alcohol appropriately, but the soldiers guarding the pass are not allowed to drink, and they do not drink alcohol. Violators will be severely punished. The commanders of each battalion can go to the baggage camp to receive 300 jars of fine wine, and if the wine is not enough, they will temporarily receive less, and then the soldiers of the baggage battalion will transport the wine and meat to the main camp one after another, and distribute it to the officers and men of the whole army in full. As early as half a month ago, I had ordered Li Xuan to prepare, so you don't have to worry about running out of drinks.

But. Ugly words lie ahead, and the battalions must not squander and waste without restraint. Otherwise, once it is investigated and verified. The commander of the camp who committed the crime was to abstain from alcohol for one year and deduct one year's salary, and the whole battalion was given a month's worth of meat, and all the soldiers of the battalion were given chaff to eat. If the soldiers complain, it is you, the battalion masters, who will be the burden to the whole battalion. It has nothing to do with me, Li Li. ”

"The lord's trick is really high!" Huan Fei applauded. He muttered with a bitter face: "It's just that this has hurt us and others, and we have to choke on my throat and take small sips when I drink, if I drink too much, it will be a big deal!" Eating bran vegetables for a month in a row, how can you have the strength to go into battle! ”

"It's good to know moderation, this rule is specially formulated for you Huan Fei!"

Seeing Huan Fei pretending to be pitiful, Li Li was unmoved. said with a straight face: "My Xiliang has always been a bitter cold place, although there is no shortage of grain and grass at the moment. But we have never been rich. Where does the wine come from, it is all made from grain, and to squander it is to spoil the grain, and it must be punished. There is no doubt about this matter, you must convey this order to the whole army, strictly abide by military discipline, and no one shall act recklessly, otherwise they will be severely punished and will not be tolerated! ”

"No, obey the orders of the lord's army!" Everyone in the hall responded in unison.

"Hmm." Li Li bowed slightly, the solemn look on his face quickly faded, and was replaced by a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "How to arrange the end of the year for each battalion, I just have to give orders, and how to implement it depends on you to implement it item by item." Next, I would like to say three happy things. I wonder if you'd like to hear it? Hehehe! ”

"Happy event? Why don't we win a battle recently? Teng Xiao asked with a stunned expression.

Huan Fei nodded and agreed: "Yes, my lord, our army and the allies have not been at war in the past half a month, so how can I be happy?" ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li teased and chuckled, picked up the teacup and drank tea without hurrying, as if he was not in a hurry to explain the reason, and deliberately hung people's appetites.

Seeing Li Li deliberately teasing everyone, Jia Xu smiled heartily and felt very interesting. In his memory, this is the first time Li Li has played with everyone in public, which is very rare, which also shows that the "three happy events" are all true, and they are extremely beneficial to the current situation.

"Since the lord said it was a happy event, it must be a great joy." Jia Xu smiled approvingly: "In the past half a year, the lord has led us to fight continuously, and it is rare to see the lord so happy. Therefore, if Weichen did not guess wrong, these three happy events are related to the battle situation in Hangu, and they are very beneficial to our army. What a happy event, please make it clear to the lord, otherwise we can only do it in a hurry, it will be very torturous! Hehehe???"

"What Wenhe said is extremely true." Guo Jia nodded: "We have been fighting against the princes and allies for more than four months, and we have always lost more than we won, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we are losing and retreating, and there are few happy events or good news." Now that the end of the year is approaching, and it is the cold winter of March and September, the two armies have temporarily suspended the fighting, and if there is a happy event, it will also make all the officers and men happy and celebrate the Chinese New Year's Eve. In the spring of the next year, we will fight to the death with the allies, completely end this protracted war, and re-establish the pattern of the Central Plains. Therefore, please announce it, and we are looking forward to it. ”

Li Li said: "Feng Xiao is right. So far, our Hanya army has not won a decent victory, so many officers and men in the army are deeply worried about this, and some are even demoralized and sluggish. However, this is a temporary setback, and it is not worth worrying about, nor is it worth lingering and sullen about. Until then, although we had repeatedly clashed with the Allies, they were all blindly on the defensive, and did not take the initiative to attack, which was actually a war of attrition, so it is not surprising that we did not win. ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's voice paused, and his tone changed sharply: "The three happy events I want to talk about can actually be roughly guessed, or you have already heard of them. Therefore, I will not be pretending to be a fool of myself, long story short.

The first happy event is about the marriage of Li Xuan, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Li Xian. Originally, the wedding date was scheduled for this autumn, but due to the sudden war and the imminent expedition, it has been delayed until now, so that the marriage has been delayed again and again, and the marriage has not been completed until now. Previously, I set the end of the year for the four of us to get married. However, at present, the two armies are facing each other and the road is closed by heavy snow, so it is really not appropriate to make a big deal. Therefore, I decided to postpone the marriage of the four Flying Tigers again. The wedding feast will not be held until after the end of the war. In addition, the wedding is held in accordance with royal rules as compensation. I have handed over this matter to Li Ru to deal with, and now it has been prepared, all of your wives have arrived in Chang'an, and when the war is over, it will be the wedding day of Feihu and others. ”

"The last general will thank the lord for his generous gift!" Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Li Xian got up and went out. He knelt down with excitement.

Li Li raised his hand to signal the three of them to get up and sit down, and said with a smile: "Starting a family is not a trivial matter, I lost my words before." I am saddened that I have postponed my marriage until now, and that I will continue to postpone it for a few more months. Since it has been delayed for several months, it has simply been postponed for a few more months. Enough for a year. Then it was carried out according to the royal wedding ceremony. Although this move is unreasonable and difficult to get rid of the suspicion of trespassing, this is my compensation to you, and all the consequences will be borne by me Li Li alone, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

After speaking, Li Li waved his hand to signal that Huan Fei, Xu Chu and Li Xian did not have to get up, and continued: "The second happy event, three days ago, there was a fire in the grain and grass camp in the rear of the Allied army, and you all saw it with your own eyes. But I don't know who did it. Now that the truth is revealed, the person who infiltrated Feiyundu and set fire to the enemy's granary is just as you expected. It was Xingyang Xu Rong who did it.

However, the person who led the troops to infiltrate Feiyundu and set fire to it was someone else, not Xu Rong himself. There were only 70 people who infiltrated the enemy camp that night, burned more than 10 enemy grain and grass camps, more than 100 camp tents, burned about 40% of the enemy's grain and grass, indirectly caused casualties among thousands of enemy soldiers, and killed Chen Liuzhang Miao at the time of breaking through the siege, took his head, and once again got rid of the princes along the way. After the battle, more than 50 people in the raid team threw off the enemy pursuit and broke out of the encirclement. This battle can be said to have achieved fruitful results, dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the allied forces, directly affected the entire battle situation, and was extremely beneficial to our army, and made great contributions. ”

"Dare to ask the lord, who is the general who leads the raid team?" Jia Xu said curiously: "This person dared to sneak into the enemy's grain and grass camp to rob the camp and set it on fire with only a few dozen people, which shows that he is not only strong in martial arts, but also brave and outstanding. These generals can be called good generals with both wisdom and bravery, and they should be rewarded and reused, otherwise they will bury good talents. ”

"Well, what Wen He said is very much in line with me." Li Li nodded happily and continued: "This person has long been the general of our army, and he is in the position of Zhonglang general, but he has not been able to meet you because he has been able to watch the soul of his father and brother with all filial piety. Right now, he is serving under Xu Rong's account, and when the decisive battle comes next year, you will be able to meet this wise and brave general. ”

As he spoke, Li Li took out a stack of letters from his sleeve, held it in his hand and waved his hand gently: "This is the third happy event I want to say, the relationship is heavy, it directly affects the current battle situation in Hangu, and it is also the key factor that determines the victory of our army." I just received a good report from Anbei General Zhou Yu, our Northern Expedition army has conquered Jinyang City half a month ago, and captured Shangdang County five days ago. ”

"Ahh Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard this, and then they exclaimed in exclamation, and laughed out loud with joy.

Jia Xu smiled happily: "This victory came at the right time!" This time, the allied granary was burned, the morale of the allied troops was low, and the morale of the army was fluctuating, and there seemed to be signs of crossing the river and retreating north. As long as Zhou Yu sent troops to Hedong, he could cut off the back road of the Allied army and force the Allied army to fight a decisive battle with our army. Since then, our army has won this battle, and it is indeed a great joy! Hahaha???"

Guo Jia also smiled happily and said with a smile: "General Zhou Yu is indeed good, and he lives up to the high expectations of the lord!" According to the battle plan formulated by us before, the capture of the annexation state is the key to the entire plan, which directly determines the final outcome of the battle of Sili. As long as we can intercept the retreat of the Allied forces, our army can be invincible, and then annihilate the princes one by one, and even keep them in the territory of Sili forever. ”

"Hmm." Li Li smiled and bowed: "Now the situation is very favorable to our army, it can be said that everything is ready, just wait for the ice and snow to melt, and then we can fight a decisive battle with the allies." The next battle will be arranged by Wenhe and Fengxiao, don't underestimate the enemy, and be sure to be foolproof! ”
