After Xu Xiaoyang finished speaking, the generals who knelt in the hall with him behind him also had solemn faces, and they all clasped their fists and said bluntly: "Accept punishment." ”

Seeing this, the cold-faced Zhu Lihua eased his expression slightly, nodded and said, "You know that I will spare you and wait for the death penalty, but I am not in a hurry to get the stick first."

Disobedience before the army is the fault of you generals, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers.

Today's First World War brothers bravely kill the enemy to strengthen the prestige of our army, you wait for each to receive ten military sticks, and personally distribute the bounty to the brothers according to their merits, first, don't let the brothers chill, and secondly, let them know that there is a reward for killing the enemy before the battle, and there is an iron law of punishment for disobedience.

When you are done, go and make up for the remaining twenty sticks. ”

After Lihua finished speaking, all the generals in the hall got up and responded with a bang, and left the hall with a smile on their faces.

Zhu Lihua treated the soldiers under his command with rewards and punishments, and the local nobles who watched looked at each other. Moreover, they all had great interest in what Lu Lihua said about Rong Dadan.

Because they saw that when Zhu Lihua mentioned Rong Da Shan Yu, those generals changed their faces in an instant, and they seemed to agree with Zhu Lihua's judgment very much, so they went to receive the punishment without saying a word, and they all seemed to be convinced.

Could it be that in today's battle, if the enemy is replaced by the leader of the big single Yu, the Shangdang Qin army will really be defeated?

With doubts, everyone turned their eyes from the generals who had left the hall one after another to the pale.

"Where's Dr. Xizi?"

With the sound of Lihua's calm words, Xi Zihui suddenly straightened up and walked into the hall from the side.

"Humble duty."

"Doctor Xizi, if you go out of the city to fight today, you can win, and those armed people are indispensable.

This is thanks to your strategic efforts, so we also need Dr. Xizi and you to train those people strictly, so that they can really stand alone and help our army one day sooner. ”

Xizihui heard the words and responded again and again, although he understood that the credit for today's battle was on the soldiers who went out of the city to fight, but Zhu Lihua's public praise still made his face light and he was in a good mood.

"General Lili, it is natural for the people to assist the officers and troops in fighting against foreign invaders, and General Lili has an overreputation. It's just that why is General Lili sure that the Qi people will not attack the city in the short term? ”

looked at Xi Zihui's puzzled expression, and then looked at the other nobles who showed surprised expressions when they heard Xi Zihui's question. Lihua smiled and said:

"Doctor Xizi is very human, I ask you to step up the training of the people because I think that the people of Qi will not come to attack the city in the short term, and there are three reasons, one is that the Qi army is outnumbered but defeated, and the morale is low, and the victory rate of the whole army to attack the city is extremely low, so they will not take the risk of doing this trick that does not outweigh the losses.

Second, the Qi army seized Shangdang, just to open up the grain and grass passage to Xuchang and Binshui, so as long as Shangdang was surrounded and we couldn't go out of the city to block, then they didn't have to take Shangdang, although they had to take some risks, but this little risk was not big compared to the siege of the city.

Third, after today's battle, the Qi army will definitely know the deployment of our army's city defense and the reality of its troops, so if they fight again, they will definitely find some other ways to cooperate with the battle, because they understand that the frontal siege may not be our opponent. If I were the commander of the Qi army, I would definitely not raise troops to attack again.

So I expect that the Qi army is at least half

If you don't come to attack the city again in a month, you can rest assured that you can train your troops. ”

Xi Zihui suddenly realized when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he hesitated and asked: "Although what General Yuli said is good, if you are trapped by the Qi army for a long time, it is not a way after all, is General Lili just thinking about holding on to the party?" ”

After hearing this, Lihua solemnly looked at Xi Zihui for a moment, and there was a glint in his eyes, then he shook his head and said with a smile:

"Doctor Xizi is thinking far, let's think about how to defend Shangdang City first, I think that the people of Qi have been besieged for a long time and can't defeat Shangdang, so they will naturally leave."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Lihua ignored Xi Zihui, who looked gloomy when he heard the words, and after trying hard to everyone in the hall, he ended the hall meeting with everyone's compliments.

......

At the Huangshui Ferry in the north of Shangdang City, in the military tent in the camp of the Qi army, Wei Huan sat behind the desk and solemnly looked at the thick silk cloth letter in his hand.

This letter was the detailed information he had obtained from Yongluan about the Shangdang guard Zhu Lihua.

In the battle seven days ago, although the Qi army was defeated, they still captured a few prisoners, and learned from them about the strength of the troops in Shangdang City and the names of the generals.

At first, Wei Huan felt very unfamiliar when he heard the name Zhu Lihua, but he did not despise his training and use of troops because of the unfamiliarity, because the battle seven days ago shocked him extremely much.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wei Huan immediately sent a scout horse to the front line of the right side of the Yuan, found the right Geng Yongluan, and obtained all the information about Lihua.

Most of these materials were collected by the Black Ice Platform at the beginning, and they were originally obtained by Yongluan from Deng Ziwen in order to understand Lihua, but now they were handed over to Wei Huan, who came to understand the reality of Lihua.

After getting this information sent urgently, Wei Huan looked at it for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.

In his cognition, he always felt that if a nobleman who started from the five hundred lords wanted to achieve the position of general, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach it for half his life, and it would be extremely difficult for more people to reach the height in his lifetime.

But this 20-year-old Zhu Lihua has done it in just two years, and he started from a hundred generals.

Although this is related to the turbulent environment of the Qin State in the past two years, in the end, Qin has a country with a large number of generals like clouds and stars, and only Lu Lihua alone has achieved this position, which is enough to show the excellence of this person.

Garrison Yuxiao, go out to rescue Zhao, ambush Qingyang, burn the new camp, quell the rebellion, manage Hanhai, outwit the four counties, and recapture Jilin...... If this incredible battle had not been put in black and white in front of him and evidenced by the seal of the Black Ice Table, he would not have believed it even if Wei Huan was killed, this was only something that a young general in his twenties could do.

Thinking about the battle seven days ago, if it weren't for the sudden alertness of himself, he took the cavalry around the west gate of Shangdang to check and found 4,000 fresh troops preparing to leave the city, maybe the battle that day would not have been as simple as a failure.

Although he took the cavalry to the west gate of Shangdang, which caused the front to be broken by the 6,000 Qin army, but after all, when his cavalry resisted the ambush of the west gate and fought back, he still let the Qin troops who had attacked the large array of the Qi army retreat to Shangdang, and at the same time he also captured some wounded Qin people.

If it weren't for this, I am afraid that I would still be blinded by the fact that I would still be confused and ignorant of the enemies of the Shangdang who had lost nearly 10,000 soldiers.

However, how about Wei Huan

Said that he was also a veteran, he was keenly aware that the enemy's main general was not perfect, and his command of the battle still had the inevitable impulse of some young people, otherwise he would not have taken it after the retreat of the Qi army that day, but he did not know how to order the lone army to go deeper, and then left a living mouth to be captured by himself when he retreated in a hurry, exposing the truth in vain.

"Eldest son, come and take a look at this."

Wei Huan glanced up at the curtain that had been lifted and the young man who had entered the tent, and then called softly to the young man who had commanded the battle side by side with him in front of the battle that day.

At this time, the son, who had already taken off his battle coat and armor and was only wearing a cyan strong suit, hurriedly walked up to Wei Huan when he heard this, respectfully took the letter he handed over and read it carefully, and kept making a "hiss" sound of surprise while looking at it.

Wei Huan looked at the son in front of him who was looking at the letter with a respectful attitude, but he thought of his father, Xiao Zishuo, the current Duke of Qi.

He still vaguely remembered that when Duke Qi was also a son, he was just like Xiao Si, the eldest son of the current Great Qi in front of him, who was respectful, easy-going and humble everywhere.

But no one in the Manqi Kingdom knows who doesn't know what the eldest son, who was also humble and polite, looked like after becoming the prince of the country.

Therefore, even if the eldest son who was sent to his side to train treated him with ease and humility on weekdays, he could only deal with it carefully, for fear that in the future, he would be like his father and his six relatives would not recognize him, and settle accounts after the autumn.

Wei Huan saw that the eldest son was looking carefully, so he explained the things recorded on the letter to the eldest son one by one, and the eldest son also nodded again and again, as if he was extremely satisfied with Wei Huan's opinion.

After a while, the eldest son finished reading the letter, looked at Wei Huan with a surprised face and said:

"General Wei, as Qin Yougen's letter said, Lihua started as a hundred generals and became a general in two years, is there really such a strange person in this world? This made me suddenly think of a person, by the way, he is also from Qin. ”

Wei Huan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and after suddenly realizing it, his face changed, and he hurriedly stopped Gongzi's words and said, "The eldest son is cautious." ”

Xiao Si saw that Wei Huan was so nervous, so he just smiled faintly and said, "It's not the right age, don't talk about this." It's just that why are these heroes all out of the Qin State.

It's really unfair, it's a pity. ”

Wei Huan saw that the eldest prince no longer mentioned the person who was a household name in the Qi country but everyone was secret, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"The Qin State will fight against the Rong people every ten years, and during this period, it will fight with our countries, and if there are more wars, there will be more powerful generals, and it is not surprising that this matter is not surprising.

When the nations fought for fifty or sixty years, they suddenly encountered a large-scale invasion by the Rong people, wasn't it that Wang Heju Shenzhou's troops were able to block the Rong people's offensive and drive them out of the pass?

Who would have thought that Wang He was from Shu. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Huan smiled at the eldest son, because he knew that the eldest son's mother, Mrs. Mingzhu, was a native of Shu, and Wang He's name was more admired by the people of the world than the Shu office.

Sure enough, when the eldest son heard Wang He's name, he immediately showed a look of reverence and said: "I heard my mother say that Wang He led the Great Watch of the Qin State, the Zhengqing of the Qi State, the Ling Yin of the Chu State, and the Prime Minister of the Shu State, which can be described as having four phases in one body, so everyone in the world admires it, and even Zhou Tianzi made an exception to the position of the young master to him with a different surname."

That's how a husband should be.

However, General Wei, I also have something unclear and want to ask General Wei to solve my doubts. ”
