Just when Li Li was thinking carefully, Cheng Gongying, who bowed his head and bowed, not only did not have the slightest complaint, but was relieved.

It is true that if Li Li agreed to accept him as a general, he would feel uneasy, thinking that Li Li did not really value him, and only accepted him as a general. If this is the case, then there is no essential difference between the general and the family general under Li Li, and it is nothing. In addition to being loyal to Li Li, although the world is big, there is no place for him, and the princes of other roads in the world will not take him in at all.

There seems to be only one word difference between the generals and the generals, but it is like an insurmountable barrier, which is simply a world of difference.

The two are simply not comparable.

Just like a wife and a woman in a green house, the former is the owner of the property, while the latter is the residence of the rich, and whoever is strong will follow whom. The two are simply not comparable.

The reason why Cheng Gongying changed his original intention and was willing to surrender to Li Li was because he took a fancy to the identity of Li Li's general.

And the identity of the family general does not seem to be a glorious and illustrious sweet, but it depends on what status the head of the family has and what kind of strength he has. Just like Li Li now, if he wants to accept the generals, then the generals under his command will inevitably compete to bow down. However, if Ma Teng, who has nothing at the moment, accepts the general, all capable generals are probably unwilling to be his generals.

Cheng Gongying used to be Han Sui's confidant and strategist, but because of Yan Xing's obstruction in the middle, he was suspicious of Han Sui, and he became a dispensable ordinary general who trained new soldiers. The reason is that he did not gain Han Sui's absolute trust and was called a confidant. In fact, it is just a name. However, if he worshiped Han Sui as the head of the family at the beginning, and Han Sui was willing to accept him as a family general, he was afraid that it would not be so easy for Yan Xing to provoke the relationship between him and Han Sui, and even Han Sui would be suspicious of Yan Xing's intentions.

At the beginning, Cheng Gongying did not worship Han Sui as the head of the family, not because Han Sui was unwilling to accept him, but because he himself was unwilling, because Han Sui did not have the strength and status to let him sacrifice his life to follow. Even so, he was still loyal to Han Sui, even if he was suspicious and ostracized. He did not betray Han Sui either. It's just that Han Sui is now deceased, and it is natural for him to become Gongying and choose another master to follow, after all, Han Sui is already extinct.

"Alas!" After pondering for a long time, Li Li sighed lightly and said in a low tone: "So far. There are only three generals in this general, and they are all from the Li family. They are Li Fu, Li Zheng and Li Zhi; And the foreign surname will indeed be the first case. Cheng Gongying. Ben will know that you want to be loyal to Han Sui, but he cherishes your talents, so he tries to persuade you to surrender, and he can't bear to see you lose your life at a young age.

Today, you insist on worshipping Ben as the head of the family, and Ben will take care of what you have done in the past, so I will accept you. However, it is not easy to be my Li Li's general. The responsibilities you have to bear are often not commensurate with the official status you have obtained, and you are even subject to grievances and extremely unfair treatment. You must be mentally prepared for this, and you must also be able to take on the burden of a family leader, and there must be no complaints at any time. I can't betray my family and shame my Li Li. If this is the case, no matter how far you flee to the ends of the earth, you will not escape death, and I will take your life with my own hands to correct the rules of the family!

Cheng Gongying, I am not lying when I say this. If you regret it now, it is completely too late, and Ben will not look down on you because of this, and it will still be applied to you in a measured way, and it will be reused for you. Do you have a decision? ”

"The lord is kind to the last general, and the last general is willing to be the lord's general, please include the lord!" Cheng Gong bowed down in a resolute manner.

"Good!" Li Li bowed his head in response, then got up and helped Cheng Gongying up, and said in a harmonious voice: "From today on, you are my Li Li's fourth general, and the only one with a foreign surname so far." In the future, we don't have to be formalistic between our masters and servants, and respecting a person is not in our mouths, but always in our hearts. Come, sit down and talk. ”

While talking, Li Li motioned for Cheng Gongying to sit down beside him, and asked: "Now that you have just joined our army, I don't know what you think, do you want to continue to lead the army to fight, or stay in the general's mansion to serve in the army?" ”

"The last general will be willing to listen to the Lord's sent. What the lord needs to do, the last will obey! Cheng Gongying said flatteredly.

"Hmm." Li Li bowed slightly, and muttered thoughtfully: "At present, our army has captured most of Liangzhou and preliminarily pacified the two prefectures of Xiliang, but the two counties of Jiuquan and Dunhuang in the west have not yet been recovered, so this western expedition is still unfinished. After defeating Ma Teng before, our army collected more than 40,000 foot cavalry, and this time to recover Jincheng, it gained more than 30,000 foot cavalry, a total of more than 70,000 foot cavalry. In addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, it is estimated that there are 60,000 soldiers, all of whom are elite soldiers who have followed Han Sui and Ma Teng for many years, and are far from being comparable to new soldiers.

In view of this, it is imminent for our army to expand its troops again, after all, the daily consumption of grain and grass by so many officers and men is not a small amount, and it is necessary to let them re-run in and restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible. I intend to let you replace Ma Chao as the deputy commander of the Qinglong Battalion, and assist General Guo Yan to go to Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties together with Pang De, and be sure to end the war before winter and completely pacify the two prefectures of Xiliang.

In addition, the Qinglong Battalion originally had 20,000 cavalry, and now it has expanded by 10,000 cavalry, for a total of 30,000 cavalry. At that time, you, Pang De, and Guo Yan will each lead a team of 10,000 people, and the 10,000 iron cavalry under your account will be selected by you from the troops surrendered in Jincheng, so that you can form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, so that you can devote yourself to the war as soon as possible. ”

"No, the last general will take the order!" Cheng Gongying bowed down with an excited expression.

Li Li bowed his head and motioned for Cheng Gongying to get up, and said softly: "In the Qinglong Battalion, half of the original Xiliang Army was reorganized, and a small part of them were veterans under Pang De's account, so military discipline was a little lax. In the future, you and Pang De must unite as one, put more effort into it, strictly enforce military discipline, and strive to build the Qinglong Battalion into a real 'Qinglong'! ”

Cheng Gongying looked slightly stunned when he heard this, and felt that the lord Li Li seemed to have something to say, as if he was referring to something.

He was originally an extremely intelligent person, otherwise he would not have been valued by Han Sui and served as a confidant and strategist. After thinking about it for a while, he vaguely guessed Li Li's true intentions. Guess at least seven or eight points. He and Pang De are both deputy commanders, but the commander of the Qinglong Battalion is the long-famous Xiliang General Guo Yan, and now the lord asks him to cooperate closely with Pang De, undoubtedly to check and balance Guo Yan, so as not to be arrogant, not to obey the orders of the lord, and support the army with self-respect.

Thinking about the deep meaning, Cheng Gongying responded respectfully: "The last general will take the order and will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”

Li Li said with a smile: "After our army has been reorganized, the officers and men of each battalion are still in the process of running-in. As long as military discipline is strict, unified orders, and orders are prohibited. At all times, you have to remember that the army cannot be messed up. As long as it does not violate this purpose. There is no need to delve into other things, after all, warplanes change rapidly. Naturally, the owners of each battalion will also have a certain right to make decisions on the spot. Otherwise, how to win the battle. Hehehe———"

"The last general knows the proportions, please rest assured." Cheng Gongying responded with a comprehension.

————————————————————

A few days later, Li Li's army moved to Wuwei County.

This is the place where Li Li is rooted, carrying his original dream, and it is also the cradle of the Wuwei Army.

The mottled and towering city walls and tens of thousands of people in the city have witnessed the history of the Wuwei Army, and also recorded the struggle of Li Li and his Wuwei Army in the past two years.

Meantime. This is also the place where Li Li fell in love with several beautiful wives, which is enough for him to remember for the rest of his life and never forget until he dies.

Wuwei County is definitely Li Li's lair.

Farewell for most of the year. Li Li finally returned to Guzang City again.

When entering the city, dozens of generals such as General Anbei, Marquis Li Xian of Wuxiang, General Li Dian of Hugh Tucheng and Zhonglang General and Captain Huan Bao of Hugh Tu Horse Farm, as well as tens of thousands of people in Guzang City, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians went out of the city to greet each other.

This is the second time that Li Li has led his army to Wuwei County to govern Guzang City.

In June last year, when he led his troops to Guzang City for the first time, Cheng Yin and Li Kan occupied the city. At the right time, the two armies fought bloodily under Guzang City, Li Li was wounded out of the battle, and cut Cheng Yin with a knife in front of the battle, and then Dian Wei threw a halberd to kill Li Kan, and then recovered the county town. Since then, Li Lifang has been able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou, and then developed rapidly and is out of control. By the end of last year, the Wuwei army occupied the four counties in the western part of Liangzhou and became the most powerful prince in Liangzhou.

During the trip to Chang'an, Li Li hugged the beauty, took advantage of the trend, strategized, and skillfully took advantage of Dong Zhuo's death to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Occupy Chang'an in one fell swoop, incorporate the Xiliang army, secretly control the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and his strength has skyrocketed countless times, and his power is monstrous.

This time, he led the troops to the west, swept through Sanfu and Liangzhou counties, defeated Ma Teng, and destroyed Han Sui. In January, all the counties and counties of Xiliang are looking forward to the wind, which makes the old appearance of the war-torn land of Xiliang new, and the days of stability and peace are just around the corner.

The old Qin people, who had suffered from the war, although they were fierce by nature and martial arts, hated the scourge of war. Now the general Li Li and his Xiliang army swept away the counties of Liangzhou, eradicated the princes of each county, and strictly implemented the policy of exempting taxes for two years and vigorously encouraging farming, eliminating bandits and robbers, and rectifying the rule of county officials. Such good deeds have undoubtedly won the hearts of the people and won the heartfelt support of millions of people in Xiliang Prefecture.

On the surface, although the general of the cavalry Li Wei is the person with the highest official position in Xiliang and the regent of the auxiliary country, the person who really won the hearts of the people of Xiliang is Li Li, the general of Zhengxi. After all, Li Dao is high up and sits in the Chang'an court, but the person who actually implements the imperial court decree is Li Li.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current management.

This simple truth is not incomprehensible to the civil and military officials such as the three princes and nine secretaries of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, but they disdain it. This also includes the cavalry general Li Dao.

However, Li Li is well aware of the three flavors, and on the opposite side of governance, he always follows the strategy of winning the trust of the people. Therefore, all the decrees issued by the imperial court to benefit the people do not have his name, but the person who really implements the decree is he who implements it with all his might. Now almost all the officials of the counties and counties in the two counties of Xiliang are from his subordinates, and the official positions are appointed by him personally, and all the county soldiers and main battalions in the counties and counties of the two counties of Xiliang are also from his account.

If you have a heart, you can do it.

When Li Li's army entered the city, he clearly saw that the people around him sincerely welcomed him, and they completely spontaneously greeted him, and they were not forced to come to welcome the army into the city because of Li Xian's order.

This made Li Li very pleased, and his body and mind were comfortable.

And this is what he has always been strict with himself, rectifying the rule of officials, and pacifying Xiliang, which is the people's heart.

If you want to dominate the world, you must win the hearts and minds of the people.

Xiliang Erzhou is the foundation of Li Li, and only by getting the sincere support of the people in the territory can the foundation be stable and always invincible.
