"Duan Zhongming?"

Duan Xuan groaned in shock, and for a while he couldn't understand why Li Li offered to change his words for no reason. Changing "Zhongming" to "Zhongming" doesn't sound like much of a difference, so why bother? However, he also knew that Li Li deliberately brought up this matter in public, and it was definitely not meaningless and nothing to do.

The difference between one word must have an intriguing deep meaning.

"If the situation is turbulent today, the princes are everywhere, and loyalty and treachery are inseparable, and your word 'loyalty' seems to be inappropriate、、、、、、。" Suddenly, Li Li's words just now resurfaced in Duan Xuan's mind.

"Is it hard to distinguish between loyalty and treachery? Could it be that the reason why Li Li proposed to change the words for himself is that the strangeness lies in these four words? Duan Xuan thought to himself.

Although he couldn't figure out the deep meaning, Duan Xuan had already grasped the point. Immediately, he asked respectfully: "I don't know what is the difference between 'loyalty' and 'Zhong', but please make it clear?" ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li smiled and said, "Zhong Ming is too modest. In short, 'loyalty' is given by Brother Ling, while 'Zhong' is an act of transgression. Brother Duan Taiwei was an important minister of the three princes of the previous dynasty, and he was given the word 'Zhongming', which means self-evident. How can it be that today is chaotic and the situation is unclear, and 'Zhongming' means that you must not be strong in everything, you cannot be blindly loyal, and you need to distinguish between right and wrong. Since ancient times, he has been known as 'Bo Zhong', so that the elder brother is the elder, and now he is deceased, and you are the younger brother, you should judge the situation in order to glorify the lintel. I don't know if Zhongming understands? ”

Li Li's words couldn't be clearer, if Duan Xuan still couldn't understand, then he wouldn't have lived for thirty years. Li Li's implication is that Duan Ying gave him the word "Zhongming", naturally hoping that he would be loyal to the court and loyal. However, the Han dynasty is about to be overturned. If he is still loyal to the Liu royal family, it is ignorant of current affairs and blindly loyal. And Li Li is now giving him the word "Zhongming", which is equivalent to giving him the word again, so as to try to change the object of his allegiance, not the Liu royal family, but Li Li. In addition, Li Li also promised him that once Li Li achieved a thousand years of meritorious deeds, he Duan Xuan would be able to obtain an official position that was not inferior to that of his clan brother Duan Ying. Glorious Duan's lintel.

After deeply comprehending Li Li's words, Duan Xuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. In fact, he had long seen that Wuwei Li Li had great ambitions, and this time the troops in Chang'an had great intentions, and he would not easily stop the army. However. Even though he had expected it, he still didn't expect Li Li to have a hidden plot. Have the ambition of an emperor.

Moment. Duan Xuan's heart was confused, his thoughts were disturbed, and he was hesitant. Because Li Li is not wrong, his Duan family is favored by the emperor, and he is the family of famous generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he should be loyal to the Liu royal family. It's just that the foundation of the Han dynasty has been lost. The four-hundred-year-old Liu family has existed in name only, and sooner or later it will be replaced by the overlord among the princes of the world.

At this time when the situation is turbulent, although Duan Xuan has the heart of loyalty to the Han family, he has no power to return to heaven. He could only endure to protect himself. Secretly strengthen his strength, in order to worship the marquis in the future and get his wife and son. In other words, he has decided to give up his allegiance to the Liu royal family, but if conditions allow, he will also help the Han royal family do what he can.

It's just that this kind of thought hidden in the bottom of his heart, Duan Xuan will not tell anyone, let alone reveal his heart. However, Li Li's eyes are too poisonous, he can see through his heart at a glance, and make it clear in public, so that he can make a new decision in front of everyone.

Faced with such a scene, Duan Xuan had no choice at all, so he could only bow his head and obey. Because only by obeying and accepting his fate can he have a chance to continue to live, otherwise he will be splattered with blood on the spot and die.

Man is a sword, I am a fish.

Duan Xuan had no choice but to accept his fate.

"Thank you to the lord for giving me the word, the end of the liver and brain will be unrequited, and then I am willing to listen to the lord's drive, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will not frown!" After seeing the situation and his own situation clearly, Duan Xuan bowed down respectfully.

"Hehehe!" Li Li said with a smile: "Zhongming understands the righteousness, and I am very relieved. Duan Xuan listened to the order, from today onwards, you will be the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, and after this battle, you will adjust the arrangements! ”

"The last general has ordered, thank you for your appreciation!" Duan Xuan replied respectfully.

Li Li bowed slightly, raised his hand to signal Duan Xuan to get up, and said with a smile: "Zhong Ming has injuries on his body, so let's go to the rear army to rest and bandage the wounds for the time being." There is no need to be formal, although you can rest assured that your wounds are recuperated, our army will win this battle! ”

"No, the last general will retire first." Duan Xuan bowed, and then followed Li Li's personal soldiers to the rear army to deal with his injuries.

——————————————————

"Look, my lord, General Li Dao has personally gone out to fight!"

As soon as Duan Xuan left with his front foot, Jia Xu drove his horse close to Li Li and said in surprise.

"Well, I saw it." Li Li snorted softly in a low tone, and the smile that appeared on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a face full of clouds, sword eyebrows locked, and his eyes gloomy and uncertain.

The complicated changes in Li Li's face were all seen by Jia Xu, and he immediately whispered to Li Li: "Lord, according to the conjecture of his subordinates, General Li Dao's appearance this time is called a battle before the battle, which is really a temptation. He was testing the true intentions of the lord to send troops this time, and he was also testing the lord's determination to fight this battle and the reality of our army's military formation, and most importantly, he wanted to find out the lord's attitude towards his uncle. ”

"Oh, is it? What does Wen He think I should do, and who should I send to fight? Li Li watched from a distance as Li Dao rode his horse to the front of the battle, and asked in a deep voice.

"This 、、、、、、 subordinates don't dare to speculate, and it needs to be decided by the lord himself." Jia Xu said in a commotioned voice.

Hearing this, Li Li turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Let me decide, in fact, you want to say that I must personally go out of this formation, right?" Otherwise, in the face of my uncle's battle in front of the battle, the generals of our army must have scruples, and no one dares to let go, so they don't want to ask Ying to fight! ”

"The Lord is wise, and it is so." Now that Li Li has made his words clear, Jia Xu did not hide it, and said bluntly: "The lord has always had great respect for General Li Dao, and the generals have seen it for all to see. Therefore, General Li Dao went out to fight this time, and even if some of the generals could defeat him, they did not dare to really defeat General Li Dao. This is not only about General Li's own face, but also about the lord's feelings, and there is also the fact that the sword and gun have no eyes, in case General Li is injured, they are worried about the lord's punishment. Obviously, no one wants to do such a laborious and unpleasant thing, so 、、、、、、 this battle can only be fought by the lord himself. ”

Li Li turned his head noncommittally and glanced at the generals behind him, but saw that they all lowered their heads like blankets, pretending not to see Li Li's inspection eyes. Putting aside the general generals for the time being, even Huan Fei, Teng Yu, Ma Chao, Tie Tu and Tie Xiao, who were clamoring to be in a hurry just now, lowered their heads and remained silent, avoiding a fight.

Seeing this, Li Li shook his head helplessly, and asked in a low voice: "Wenhe, how should I deal with it if I go to war, is it difficult for me to have a big fight with my uncle?" ”

After Jia Xu heard this, a pair of small eyes turned sharply, and he thought about it and said: "If the lord fights in person, as long as the lord doesn't strike first, General Li Dao will definitely not attack." The lord has some scruples, but in fact, General Li Dao is not like this. In case General Li Dao strikes first, the lord must not hesitate to make a move, and he will strike when it is time to make a move. It's still the same old saying, there is no father and son on the battlefield, and you can't have the kindness of a woman. In addition, I also ask the lord to give his subordinates the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, so as not to suddenly launch an attack by the Xiliang army and our army is caught off guard. ”

"Okay, I'll rest assured that Wenhe will do things. Hold, this is my sword, once the battle situation changes, the whole army obeys your orders and rushes into battle! Li Li's expression changed slightly, and as he spoke, he handed his sword to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu looked extremely excited when he took the coach's sword, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes.

Because of Li Li's sentence just now, "I don't have to worry about Wenhe's affairs", it really made Jia Xu grateful, and he was quite grateful for the death of a confidant. It stands to reason that with Jia Xu's mellow and old-fashioned methods, he would not be so excited, let alone truly moved. However, in recent times, Li Li has really put his heart into him, trusted him unreservedly, and almost put all the power of life and death of Wuwei Army into his hands, unconditional trust and entrustment.

Now, in the face of the decisive battle when the interests of Wuwei Army and Li Li Li were the most important and absolutely impossible to lose, Li Li once again handed over the command of more than 100,000 troops to his Jia Xu. The repeated entrustment of heavy responsibilities prompted Jia Xu not to be moved, not daring not to do his best, and involuntarily emotional.

As a strategist, no matter how talented you are, if you don't get the trust of the Lord, everything is in vain, useless, and you can only do nothing and live in ignorance. However, once he gets such trust and trust from Li Li, even if he risks his own life, he must not live up to Li Li's trust and trust. Because this is an opportunity for strategists to show their talents, once they miss it, they will inevitably regret it for the rest of their lives, and they will end up depressed for a lifetime, and they will not be blind to death.

In addition to the surging heart, Jia Xu said to Li Li in a respectful voice: "The subordinates must live up to the trust of the lord, and our army will win this battle!" ”

"Okay, I believe that of you." Li Li nodded to Jia Xu with a firm expression, and with his legs moving slightly, the Golden Lion Beast King's mount ran wildly, carrying Li Li to the front of the two armies in a few breaths.

"Roaring ———"

In the deafening roar of the beast, thirty paces away from Li Dao, the Golden Lion Beast King stopped abruptly. The mount under Li Dao's crotch was frightened by the roar of the beastmaster of the golden beast and retreated again and again, until the two sides were fifty paces apart, and then gradually quieted down and stopped retreating.

His mount was so poor that Li Dao suddenly felt disgraced. It's just that the big battle is imminent, and he doesn't have time to change his mount, so he can only use it first, and he has to reach out and stroke the mane on the back of the horse's neck to prevent it from continuing to scream and retreat. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
