In the Li family's army, the dismissal of generals seems to be very harsh, but in fact, as long as there is an opportunity, they can be reinstated and reused.

However, the demotion of the third level of meritorious service is really a severe punishment. This is inseparable from the promotion system in the Li family's army!

In the Li Jiajun, every time he was promoted to an official position, he needed to obtain corresponding military merits, and then he entered the lecture hall for further study, and only after a fair and open assessment could he be appointed as a school inspector.

The probationary officer has a probationary period of one to two years, and can only be appointed as the official chief officer after passing the review.

Chu Xiong was demoted by three ranks, and his own officer was also directly demoted from the commander to the commander of the throat rebuke battalion. If he wants to regain the position of commander of the Throat Battalion, he must be promoted from commander to Yu Hou step by step, and then from Yu Hou to deputy commander, and finally to command, and at least five years of seniority.

Now the situation of Li Jiajun is not a small good, let alone a medium good, but a big good!

The front is hard to bar 100,000 leather room troops, and win the battle, which can be since the late Tang Dynasty, the most brilliant results of the Han army's Northern Expedition, there is no one!

Everyone present knew in their hearts that maybe two or three years later, Li Zhongyi would already sit on the throne. Then, Chu Xiong's extremely painful depreciation today is equivalent to losing his bottoms from the starting line of the military merit award!

In the originally jubilant tent, the atmosphere suddenly took a sharp turn, and the heavy generals who were still smiling were silent and chilling, and they no longer dared to talk nonsense.

Li Zhongyi wants this effect, and it has always been his motto to have calm in every big event. In other words, the more critical the moment, the more you can't be negligent, so as not to cause irreparable disasters!

There is a big man, when he settled in Beiping from the northwest, he once said with emotion: Don't be Li Zicheng!

Under the instigation of the traitors, Li Zicheng broke through the city of Beijing without much effort, not only destroying the Ming Dynasty, but also establishing the Great Shun Dynasty.

If it weren't for Li Zicheng being too carried away and adopting the wrong strategy, Wu Sangui, who had already returned to obedience, would not have betrayed his ancestors to seek glory and frantically led wild boar skins into the customs.

Since then, the people of the Great Han have been prostrate under the rule of barbaric and ignorant aliens for more than 200 years. In that dark era, even if the Han people wanted to be the minions of wild boar skins, they were not qualified!

The clear rewards and punishments have always been the guidelines that Li Zhongyi followed, and he has never been disappointed, and his reputation is leveraged!

Since Chu Xiong was severely punished, then for the generals who defeated 20,000 Khitan light cavalry head-on, they should be rewarded!

"This time out of Yuguan, the traitor's house that has been punished most severely has a lot of young and beautiful young ladies who have not yet been married. The generals above the deputy commander are simply divided into two each, but I have a small request, I am only allowed to be concubines or maids, and I cannot spoil concubines and kill wives. Li Zhongyi emphasized that it is not allowed to spoil concubines and kill wives, and the core root is that he warned his generals in advance and could not forget his roots.

"Obey the Lord's teachings!" The heavy generals beat their chests and sang happily, there are beauties to share, no matter what, it is a very long-faced happy event.

"In addition, the army has seized a lot of silver coins on the Youji Plain, and my initial idea is that the officers above the rank of deputy commander will each share 10,000 yuan for the purpose of settling down in Kaifeng City in the future." Li Zhongyi was very generous, rewarding both the beauty and a large sum of money.

For a time, there was a thunderous cry of joy in the big tent, and the cries of praise for the benevolence of the Lord were higher and higher.

Li Zhongyi touched his chin and looked at the happy old subordinates with a smile, but what he thought in his heart was: Wealth scatters people gather, wealth gathers people scattered, it is really a wise saying!

Liu Bang, who was born as a hooligan, has been defeated repeatedly, but he has been able to survive and make a comeback. In addition to discerning people, more importantly, Liu Bang is good at distributing profits to his subordinates!

On the contrary, Xiang Yu, who was born in the aristocracy, was arrogant and indecisive, and the only real advisor under his hand was Fan Zeng. Because, Xiang Yu's own military talent is really strong. Under his account, the generals who could take charge on their own, because their interests could not be satisfied, were either killed or went to Liu Bang.

Among them, the most famous general star is none other than Han Xin, who was slaughtered by Liu Bang and his wife!

To fight a war, it is logistics, that is, a base area in the popular sense. No matter what era the warlord or feudal town is, if there is no base area, that is, territory, to provide enough money, food, and military supplies to support itself, sooner or later it will be destroyed.

Li Zhongyi has always believed in a hard truth, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers!

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, why was Xiao He recorded as the first merit? After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang, who did not have many military merits, was also recorded as the first merit, why is this?

This shows that Liu Bang and Zhu Chongba are both understanding people!

Although the two of them can't say the big truth that the war depends on logistics, the law that they have groped out from practice is the hardest truth!

Yelu Huge's exit halfway seems to weaken the prestige of the Khitans, in essence, the Khitans have not hurt their vitality, and their overall strength is still many times stronger than that of the Li family, which is tantamount to giving Li Zhongyi a strategic choice problem.

Continue westward to Youzhou, or go back to the Central Plains to clean up the mess? This is indeed a big problem!

Li Zhongyi may not be as good as Yang Lie in war, but he can see clearly the strategic issues of right and wrong.

Brother Hugh's abacus is very fine, no matter what choice Li Zhongyi makes, he can't escape an ultimate fate in the end: at the critical moment when Li Zhongyi is fighting for hegemony in the Central Plains, Brother Yelu Hugh will definitely lead his troops south.

At this juncture, Li Zhongyi severely punished Chu Xiong of the throat camp, and the reason is actually very clear: to be able to afford a war depends on logistics, and to win a war depends on accurate and timely information transmission!

This time, Li Zhongyi was suddenly stabbed fatally from behind by Brother Yelu Xiu, and if it wasn't for his good luck, he might have capsized.

"Ahem, on the orders of the Lord, the Senate Department has drafted several strategy plans in advance, and now they are distributed to you for perusal. The matter is very high, and I would like to ask you to speak as freely as possible. Yang Wushuang, who is also the secretary of the Senate and the war room, immediately stepped forward after receiving Li Zhongyi's eyes.

The people present knew very well in their hearts that the decision on the direction of the next combat strike was really a choice that would determine the future and fate of Li Jiajun!

After entering the formal discussion, everyone was solemn, and no one dared to be careless or take it lightly.

This military meeting lasted for more than four hours, and by the time Li Zhongyi returned to the back tent, the night had already covered the entire camp.
