In the blink of an eye, four days passed quietly.

On this day, the sun hung in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the earth was shrouded in a thousand rays of light.

West Gate of Chang'an City.

Dozens of carriages drove out one after another, and five hundred lightly armored warriors followed the carriage and slowly walked out of the city.

At the west gate, Xu Rong, Fan Chou, Cai Yong and others came to see Li Li off.

Dong Zhuo also sent people, and Hu Ben Zhonglang sent Lu Bu to Li Li on behalf of Dong Zhuo three hundred Xiliang war horses and ten carts of ordnance baggage.

For this, Li Li was quite grateful, because Dong Zhuo's gifts this time were all the things he urgently needed, which was simply a relief in the snow.

Although Dong Zhuo's cruelty and domineering spread all over the world, he was indeed extremely generous to his subordinates, and when he was generous, he did not frown at the expense of thousands of dollars, which was magnificent.

After saying goodbye to Cai Yong and the others, Li Li moved to Lu Bu's mount.

"Li Liduo thanked General Lu for his help, and these war horses and ordnance really solved the urgent need below. I don't say thank you, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will thank the general! ”

"Li is too polite, these are all gifts from your father-in-law, not Lu. Taishou went to Liangzhou, the road is far away, the future is difficult and dangerous, and I hope to take care. ”

Lu Bu did not dismount, and still sat on top of the sturdy red rabbit horse that was more than nine feet tall.

Although his words sounded kind, his posture was extremely high, and he did not look at Li Li directly, but casually looked at the entourage of soldiers behind Li Li.

Li Li had already prepared for Lu Bu's arrogant and arrogant posture, so he looked as usual, and after greeting Lu Bu, he was ready to turn around and leave, and ordered his own troops to set off.

"Li Taishou, wait a moment!"

Just as Li Li took more than ten steps, Lu Bu lightly picked up the reins and ran in front of him with an arrow step, and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What else is going on with General Lu? General, please speak out, as long as you know about it, you must tell the truth. ”

Lu Bu paced back and forth with the red rabbit horse under his crotch, "Li Taishou, who is this guard standing behind you?" Hehehe! Don't misunderstand, this general is just happy to see the hunt, this general's martial arts are not weak, could it be that he is your sworn brother Fan Yong? ”

"Oh, I see. However, General Lu recognized the wrong person, he is not my second brother Fan Yong. If the evil comes, General Lu asks, you can tell him bluntly. ”

As Li Li spoke, he staggered back and stood side by side with Dian Wei.

"In Xia Chen Liudianwei, who is now the captain of my father-in-law's personal army, I have met General Lu."

"Huh? It turns out that you are not Fan Yong. Li Taishou went all the way, and the general still had important things to do, so he would not be far away, so he said goodbye first. Drive! ”

After Lu Bu realized that he had recognized the wrong person, a trace of anger flashed in the corners of his eyes, and when he saw Dian Wei's ugly face and unfamiliar name, he knew that this tall black man was just an unknown person.

So he replied with great disappointment, and then lightly lifted the reins and turned the horse, and rode away.

Seeing that Lu Bu had no one in his eyes, Dian Wei suddenly became angry, and looked coldly at Lu Bu's departing figure and the red rabbit horse that was as fast as lightning, his eyes were extremely cold.

"Lord, Lu Bu is too arrogant. In the future, if there is an opportunity, his subordinates will definitely compete with him. I want to see how he can dare to despise me so much! ”

Li Li smiled calmly when he heard this, "Hehehe! Evil does not need to be angry. Lu Buyong is brave, but he is just a martial artist. Even if he has the courage of ten thousand people and is proud of the heroes of the world, it is difficult to become a great weapon after all, so there is nothing to worry about. As for what you want to do with him, sooner or later you'll have a chance, and it won't keep you waiting. After we have laid a foundation in Wuwei, it won't be long before we come to Chang'an City again, and at that time, it will be the time for us to show our talents! ”

Wanyan declined the kindness of Cai Yong and others, Li Li and his entourage set off slowly, stepping on the light of the scorching sun, and went straight west.

In the afternoon, it joined the 5,000 Longxiang battalion cavalry from Dongyang Valley, and the army continued to move forward.

In the evening, Li Li's army set up camp at Hufengkou and once again received more than 10 carts of baggage and more than 500 war horses that Li Wei had hidden here in advance, as well as more than 300 elite soldiers in 100 battles.

At this point, all the materials for Li Li's trip have been gathered, and the baggage and ordnance are sufficient.

This time he went to Liangzhou to take office, and Li Li ordered the old housekeeper Li Fu to stay in Dongyang Valley, where there were still 3,000 foot soldiers and more than a month's worth of grain and grass.

After that, the garrison soldiers in Dongyang Valley had to raise grain and grass on their own, be self-sufficient, and develop independently.

And in Li Li's army, with the 300 war horses rewarded by Dong Zhuo and the 500 war horses secretly sent by Li Dao, plus the more than 200 war horses that were stolen from the robbers in Nanshan before, a 1,000-person light armored cavalry team was formed.

Coupled with the 1,000 light cavalry and a large amount of grain and grass brought by Fan Yong this time, the grain and grass in Li Li's army was enough for three months, with a total of 5,000 war cavalry and more than 1,600 elite foot soldiers, about 7,000 soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Li Li has six generals under his command, including Dian Wei, Fan Yong, Li Zheng, Li Xian, Bo Cai and Li Dian, plus just seven of his own people, one person can lead a team of 1,000 people.

After setting up the camp at night, Li Li recruited all the generals into the big tent and made arrangements for the whole army.

First of all, the pro-army team was expanded to 1,000 people, and equipped with war horses, the Long Xiangwei was formed, and Dian Wei was appointed as the commander of the Long Xiangwei.

The iron cavalry of the Longxiang battalion remained unchanged, Li Li personally served as the commander of the Longxiang battalion, and Li Zheng, Bocai and Li Xian were the deputy commanders, each leading a team of 1,000 people.

The 1,000 light cavalry under Fan Yong's command and the remaining more than 300 war cavalry were combined into an army to form the Flying Bear Battalion, which had the same name as Dong Zhuo's personal army, and appointed Fan Yong as the commander.

The remaining more than 1,000 foot soldiers were combined into a baggage battalion, which was commanded by Li Dian.

Since Li Dian was forced to serve in the baggage camp, Li Li treated him like other generals, giving him the duties he should have and the living treatment he should have been fully rationed, as if he had been treated equally, and did not treat him specially.

And every time Li Li assigns a task, he does not consult Li Dian's opinion, and directly gives orders, which is arbitrary and cannot be refused.

Once or twice did this, Li Dian still complained, but he didn't dare not implement it.

However, as Li Li's orders became more and more frequent, he gradually became accustomed to this way of being forced to accept orders, and he was promoted by leaps and bounds in the baggage camp, and now he is now the commander of the baggage camp.

After being in contact with Li Li for a long time, Li Dian found that Li Li was not as hateful as he imagined. He governed the army rigorously, rewarded and punished clearly, and seemed to be born to command the material of the army.

However, Li Dian still has a mustard in his heart, and he still treats Li Li as a general, and he does business, never talks to him much, let alone has a private conversation.

It's just that he and other generals in the army quickly blended in. None of the generals mentioned what happened in the big tent in Dongyang Valley that day, and they called him brother and brother without any scruples, and they got along very well.

In the following ten days, Li Li's army marched westward, passed through Youfufeng County, turned to the northwest, and entered Anding County.

At this point, Li Li and his entourage finally set foot on the border of Liangzhou, as long as they pass through Anding and bypass Jincheng, they can reach Wuwei County.

Stepping on the boundary of Liangzhou, Li Li raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and his mind was suddenly broadened.

The sky here is high and the clouds are light, the mountains and rivers are dense, and the canyons are deep and staggered. There are both endless grasslands and deserts filled with flying sand; Most of the things that should exist in the world are gathered here.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, the auspicious clouds are flowing, gorgeous and brilliant, deep and magical.

This is the mysterious ancient road of the Western Regions, the place where the golden iron horse competes, and it is also the cradle of dreams.
