Zhangye County, Zhaowu County.

At noon, Li Li led the Chinese army Jin Yiwei to the county office.

At this time, it was the third day of the Wuwei army's expedition to Zhangye County.

This time, Li Li led the Chinese army to change the previous style of acting, and Jin Yiwei set off one day later than the Tiger Roar Battalion, Wuwei Battalion and Longxiang Battalion, and no longer acted as the main force in the battle, but shouldered the heavy responsibility of escorting grain and grass for the army.

Zhaowu County was the place selected by Li Li to hoard grain and grass, and the three battalions were in the center to attack the city and supply the ordnance and baggage needed by the army.

Today's Jin Yiwei is no longer the iron horse of the past. Of the 5,000 men, there were 3,000 original veterans, and the remaining 2,000 were all Qiang recruits selected from Hugh's slaughter; As for the original 2,000 Jin Qiwei, they were transferred to Dian Wei to form the Peerless Iron Cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that the Chinese army led by Li Li will delay its departure by one day to help Dian Wei select the warriors of Hutu.

In the Yanai of Zhaowu County, Li Li was asking the scouts about the progress of the battle in each battalion and the situation in the counties of Zhangye County.

At present, the Tiger Roar Battalion is attacking the county town of Zhangye, and it is expected to be able to conquer this city this afternoon, sweeping the remaining three counties of the county.

Under the leadership of Teng Xiao, the Wuwei battalion has invaded the territory of Zhangye's vassal state, approaching the city of Hutu Wang, and the battle is progressing smoothly.

The Longxiang camp has also entered the subject country of Juyan, and is now sweeping away the tribes around Juyan City, and the resistance is not small, which is the most difficult bone to gnaw on in this western expedition.

Good steel is used on the cutting edge.

The reason why Li Li sent the Longxiang battalion to attack the Juyan subject country was because although the subject country of Juyan was not large, there were many small tribes in the territory and the people were fierce. It's very difficult.

However, Li Li also believed that Teng Yu, the most haode hunter in Peach Blossom Village, led the brave and combative Dragon Battalion Iron Cavalry. It will definitely be able to conquer Juyan City and recover the subject country of Juyan.

The Zhangye vassal state and the Juyan vassal state were attached to the north of Zhangye County. The area is not large, and the area of the two subject countries together is equivalent to the area of Zhangye County. Moreover, most of the people in the two places are nomadic people, most of them are Qiang people, as well as the remnants of the small tribes of the Northern Xiongnu and some tribes of the Xiaoyue clan, among which there are many Han people who live here and are extremely chaotic.

It can be said that you have me, I have you, and it is difficult to distinguish which ethnic group the people of the two places are.

Li Li led the troops to the west this time. The ultimate goal is to occupy Zhangye County.

Zhangye County has eight counties under its jurisdiction, and now the five counties south of Zhangye City have been occupied by the Wuwei army, and they only need to break through the county seat to quickly recover the counties.

However, in order to occupy Zhangye County for a long time, it is necessary to sweep away the two vassal states to the north. Otherwise, the northern border is uneasy, and the barbarian iron cavalry may invade the territory of Zhangye at any time, causing trouble to the surrounding counties, and there will be no peace at any time.

Furthermore. Once Juyan and Zhangye counties were recovered, the westernmost Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties were exposed under the iron hooves of the Wuwei army. As long as the time is ripe and the strength allows, the Wuwei army can go straight in. captured the two counties and pocketed most of Liangzhou in one fell swoop. From then on, he will be able to control the passage to the Western Regions. It is definitely profitable to levy the heavy taxes of the merchants of the past.

???????????????????

After watching the progress of the fighting in the battalions. Li Li is in a very good mood.

In fact, the ability of the commanders of the battalions of the Wuwei Army is very good. It's just that they didn't have the opportunity to lead the army alone before, and they have been following Li Li to listen to the dispatch, and their personal abilities cannot be fully displayed.

Since the Battle of Dongshan Pass, Li Li escaped death, and every time there was a war since then, he introspected himself and no longer charged into battle. This can be understood as his more and more desperate life, and it can also be seen that he has gradually matured and begun to let go, and has truly grown into a commander of the army who sits in charge of the Chinese army and strategizes.

In fact, as the commander of the Wuwei Army, Li Li could not always be the first, and he would personally charge in every battle. The generals under his command must grow up, lead the army alone, and take charge of the army.

This dispatch of troops to Zhangye was an attempt made by Li Li to send the three generals Huan Fei, Teng Xiao and Teng Yu, who were the most brave in the battle, to lead the army to attack the three counties of Zhangye alone.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out to see.

In the evening, the backyard of the county government.

After dealing with the matter at hand, Li Li leisurely played a set of Tai Chi in the garden to loosen his muscles and bones.

"Wenchang, what kind of martial arts are you, slow, and don't seem to have much power?"

Dian Wufang, who changed back into a Luo skirt, took the robe that Li Li took off, and said curiously.

"Hehehe! This set of kung fu is not used to fight, but to strengthen the body, which can relax the mind and move the muscles and bones, and the lethality is not great. After Li Li finished the battle, he gently hugged his flawless waist and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Dian Wufeng smiled slightly, walked side by side with Li Li, and said with a chuckle: "You, did you not lead the army to fight this time, and you are uncomfortable?" Warlike nature, I think you really have to restrain your temperament, otherwise you can only be the commander of an army, and you can't be regarded as the real master of the people. ”

Dian Wufang now understands Li Li more and more, in a word.

Li Li smiled calmly, and the arm holding Dian Flawless waist became more and more forceful, as if he was afraid that she would leave suddenly.

"Flawless, you, I can't hide anything from you! Haha! ”

Dian Wuflawless smiled, sat down in the pavilion with Li Li, snuggled up to Li Li's shoulder, and said softly: "Wenchang, in fact, I know why you don't personally lead the army to fight, you don't want me to see many clansmen die in front of me, for fear that I will be sad and sad." So, you're with me, sitting in the rear. Is that right? ”

Li Li was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "Flawless is really smart, exquisite, and his mind is not inferior to that of a resourceful person, and she is a rare woman with both talent and appearance!" ”

Slightly stunned, Li Li hugged Dian Wuflaw on his lap, hugged her in his arms, and then smiled and kissed her forehead.

"Flawless, in fact, I have always felt that I owe you too much for this trip. You followed me without reservation, and I sent an army to slaughter your people, even your family. There have been several times when I wanted to take back the order and let the Dian clan go, not wanting to see you secretly sad. However, in order for Zhangye County to be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, the Qiang people will no longer surrender and rebel, and the royal family must not stay, so I have to kill the killer. Even though I know you're going to be upset about it, I'm still going to do it! Flawless, can you forgive me? ”

Dian Wufang looked up at Li Li in a daze, his eyes were full of love, and then kissed Li Li's lips affectionately.

After a long time, Dian Wufang tried his best to breathe slowly, pressed it on Li Li's chest, and said softly: "Actually, I have long seen that you have been accommodating me all these days. Even if I lose my temper with you, play tricks, and be coquettish, you don't get angry at all, and let me vent the bitterness in my heart.

The members of the Hutu royal family are distributed in the three places of Zhangye County, Zhangye Subject State and Juyan Subject State, and almost control half of the goods trade in the three counties, and the number of servants and domestic slaves is huge, like the roots of an old tree, Shili is very large and intertwined. If the Wuwei army wants to completely pacify the three counties, it must eradicate the Hutu royal family, so as to truly pocket the land of the three counties of Zhangye. In troubled times, killing is inevitable, either you die or I die, and I am used to seeing people kill before, so I can understand that you want to do this.

In fact, my mother was just a slave girl bought by the Hugh Tu, who was accidentally favored by my father and accepted into the palace as a maidservant. And because of my unusual appearance, I have been bullied by them since I was a child, and I was never regarded by them as a real Hutu tribesman. It wasn't until I led the army to fight that my father and eldest brother began to look at me and value me, and the royal family gradually accepted my flawless existence. However, such care came too late and was short-lived, just over a year.

You Han people have an old saying, marry and obey your husband. I am now your Li Wenchang's woman, what should be done and what should not be done, I know very well in my heart. There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and war is inherently ruthless. The Hutu tribe was defeated like a mountain, and it was difficult to escape the doom of defeat, even if it was not defeated in your hands, one day it would be defeated in the hands of other princes, and the outcome would be the same. The Hutu tribe lives in a corner, and the tribesmen are arrogant and invincible, and it will be difficult to succeed after all, and they will die sooner or later.

To this day, I have no resentment against you, and I can understand you for doing so. But I've always been a slaughterer, and I can't help but feel sad when the tribe is about to perish. Woowoo??????。 ”

As he spoke, Dian Wuflaw threw himself into Li Li's arms and cried bitterly, which made Li Li's mood very heavy, and a strong sense of guilt came to his heart.

However, war has its own rules that must be followed, and there must be no kindness for women, let alone mercy.

Holding the crying Dian Wuflaw in his arms, Li Li did not comfort her, but just gave her an arm to rely on, a warm embrace, and a chest to vent her emotions.

??????????????????

Three days later, Li Li personally led 2,000 Jin Qiwei to Juyan City.

In the past three days, Huan Fei led the Tiger Roar Battalion to capture Zhangye County, and swept across the county, and is now clearing the remnants of Shili, stabilizing the public security of the counties, cleaning up the county's population, treasury and acres, reorganizing and reducing the soldiers, deploying the whole county, and restoring the normal order of the counties.

The battle of the Wuwei battalion led by Teng Xiao was quite smooth, and in one fell swoop they broke through the city of Xiutu and wiped out the royal family of Xiutu; At present, he is busy clearing and suppressing the remnants, taking stock of grain, grass and property, restoring the Han legal system, counting the people of the Hugh Tu tribe, and rescuing a large number of enslaved Han slaves.

After doing these things, Li Li also gave Teng Xiao an order, that is, to relocate all the people who were slaughtered and dispersed to the counties of Wuwei County for resettlement. This is a time-consuming and labor-intensive event. Fortunately, the money, grain and horses confiscated by the Hutu royal court were enough to supply the great migration, and there was no need for Wuwei County to use the treasury to support the relocation.

The battle between the Tiger Roar Battalion and the Wuwei Battalion went smoothly, but the Long Xiang Battalion led by Teng Yu was frustrated under Juyan City, and attacked the city for five consecutive days, but has not captured the city so far.

Now that the Longxiang battalion has lost nearly 2,000 people, Juyan City is still unable to attack repeatedly, and in desperation, Teng Yu has no choice but to urgently ask Li Li for help.

After receiving Teng Yu's urgent report, Li Li immediately ordered Fan Yong to stay in Zhaowu County, and he personally led two thousand Jin Qiwei, Li Zhi, Dian Wuflawless and Tietuo and other generals to set off with the army, and rushed to the aid of the Longxiang camp in the starry night.
