When Wenwu left the hall with excitement, excitement, and pride, Yuan Xi took Li Ru and Han Yan to the comfortable inner hall.

"Victory is naturally a great joy, but the task is far from being completed, our army cannot stay on the grassland all the time, the formation of the Eight Banners cannot be delayed, and it must start from now on" Yuan Xi said solemnly.

"Hou Ye is wise, in addition to the Eight Banners, there will also be a result on the Liaodong side, whether it is a fight, it is a peace, there must be a conclusion" Li Ru nodded.

"Judging from Yuan Zhi's constant requests for grain and grass and cupola cannons, it is estimated that he wants to fight a dozen," Han Yan smiled.

"Liaodong is not as good as Wuhuan, they have a strong city, a perfect internal affairs mechanism, and an abundant source of grain and grass soldiers, Liang feels that Hou Ye should still focus on the future battle of the Central Plains, take a good rest, hoard grain, grass and horses, and wait for the times to change" Li Ru frowned and suggested.

Yuan Xi touched the beard that grew slightly from his chin, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Liaodong is estimated to be unable to eat at present, but Liao Suixi wants it, military, you send an order to Yan Rou and Yuan Zhi, be sure to take down Liaosui City, a strategic point where the two realms meet, so that one can occupy the military upper hand, the second can look at Gongsun Du's attitude, and the third can also appease the people in the territory, after all, the result of the Wuhuan battle is not good to publicize it at present, but Liao Sui can, once it wins, it will definitely greatly enhance the people's hearts."

"Master Hou, if Liaosui is occupied, Gongsun Du may counterattack with a large army," Li Ru reminded softly.

"Haha, then let's fight, the history of the Xitang Youzhou Thorn, the canonized An Youhou of the Han Dynasty, is still afraid that he will be a remote little king, as long as he moves, immediately let Jiao touch, Zilong will go north directly" Yuan Xi smiled faintly.

"But if this is the case, I am afraid it will have an impact on the battle of the Central Plains," Li Ru worried.

"There will definitely be an impact, but there will be gains if there is a loss, if you can use this to recover Liaodong, the population of our army, the tax will inevitably be greatly enhanced, even if this battle is not in the way for a few months, it can be compensated back, and Xi believes in Yuan Zhi's ability, let him do it!" Yuan Xi waved his hand lightly.

Li Ru thought about it carefully, and what he said was definitely right, the battle of the Central Plains is estimated to be more than a year, and there should be time before it comes.

"I'll send a letter to the past when it's cool"

"Okay" Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Now let's talk about the selection of the Eight Banners Banner Owner, this must send a capable person over, you see who is more suitable, Shi Yuan will forget it, the military secretary has some problems during this time, he must be allowed to come back to sit in the town, Xi Cai can rest assured"

Li Ru and Han Yan looked at each other and smiled, and then Li Ru asked Han Yan to speak.

"Master Hou, at this time, Yan has discussed with the military advisor, and there is only one person who can handle such a complex situation at present," Han Yan said.

"Who?" Yuan Xi was a little curious.

"Tian Yu," Han Yan said with a smile.

Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, nodded with a smile: "Tian Yu is indeed an excellent candidate, although he is a literati, there is no lack of ferocity of military generals, but he is gone, what should Yuyang do?" ”

"You can let Lu Yu take over Yuyang, and Liu Fang will be the county governor of Jixian County," Li Ru replied.

Yuan Xi suddenly shook his head: "Lu Yu is not suitable, there are other arrangements for him, I think let Liu go!" He used to be Yuyang's long history, and he knew more about it, so he was worried about his loyalty, but now, it should be fine."

"Yes" Li Ru and Han Yan agreed, the two were originally between the two, but Lu Yu followed earlier, so they took the lead in arranging.

"Okay, then it's decided, canonize Tian Yu as the ambassador to Wuhuan, preside over the Eight Banners, let him hand over to Liu Fang, and come to Jixian County immediately, Xi still has some things to instruct" Yuan Xi said.

"No!"

After a while, Liu Quan suddenly ran in and said softly: "Master Hou, General Gan Ning and General Erhu are back."

Yuan Xi's eyes froze, and he sneered: "I'm willing to come back, it's been nearly ten days, and there is still a little discipline, let them go!" I'll accept such a military general in Youzhou."

Liu Quan was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Li Ru and Han Yan.

Li Ru smiled bitterly, hugged his fists and said, "Master Hou, why don't you listen to their explanations first?"

"No matter what the reason is, the other generals are fighting, Yuan Zhi has already rushed to Liaodong, and the blood of countless soldiers has been sprinkled on the grassland, and they are indeed dashing because of some children's affections, it would be good if Xi didn't punish them" Yuan Xi said with a cold face, even if Gan Ning was good at fighting and Cheng Erhu was brave, he didn't care about being so unruly.

"Why don't you go and take a look" Li Ru knew very well in his heart that Yuan Xi still wanted these two fierce generals very much, but when he thought of the dead soldiers on the grassland, he was angry at the casualness of the two.

Yuan Xi glanced at it, and got up and left directly without refusing or appreciating.

Li Ru smiled slightly, looked at Liu Quandao, and said, "Steward Liu, take me over"

"No!"

After coming outside, I saw Gan Ning, Cheng Erhu was standing under the steps of the main hall with a delicate and supple woman, and after seeing Li Ru coming, Gan Ning immediately hugged his fists in shame and said: "Meet the military advisor"

Li Ru had a cold face and said coldly: "I think you also know the matter, just when the two of you were in the wind and snow, my Youzhou had already started a war with Wuhuan and Liaodong, 100,000 soldiers rushed to the battlefield, and the talents of Juxian Guan were also dispatched, and thousands of soldiers died on the grassland and never came back."

"Ning is guilty, please tell the Hou Ye that he is willing to go into battle immediately to kill the enemy, even if he doesn't give a single soldier, he will swear to protect the power of my Han to the death" Gan Ning blamed himself.

"No need, the war is over, we won, but it doesn't have much to do with the two of you, Confucianism came out, just to tell you, go back and continue to enjoy! The battlefield is a place for bloody men, you don't have this qualification" Li Ru waved his hand lightly, turned around and prepared to leave.

Hearing this, Gan Ning trembled, his face turned pale, even if he lost his fame and fortune, he even had to fight timidly to gain fame, which made him feel like he had no face to face the world.

Cheng Erhu looked at the painful Gan Ning, his heart was extremely guilty, his eyes were fixed, and he said loudly: "Military advisor, this time it's all my fault, it's me who marries a wife in battle, I must be with Brother Gan Ning, he originally wanted to come back a long time ago, you let Hou Ye kill me!" Don't blame Brother Gan"

Li Ru's eyes froze, turned his head to look at Cheng Erhu, and said in a cold tone: "What did you say?" Marry a wife before the war"

"Strategist, he said nonsense" Gan Ning saw this scene and immediately explained anxiously.

"I'm not lying, it's me, everything is my fault, and it has nothing to do with Brother Gan" Cheng Erhu suddenly knelt on the ground, with tears of self-blame in his eyes.

When the "Second Tiger" saw this scene, the woman behind her was suddenly distressed, unbearable, and shouted with emotion.

"Military advisor, you listen to me, it was the father of the younger brother and sister who knew about the situation of the second tiger and insisted on settling the matter, so the second tiger was forced to marry a wife, and he didn't know that it happened so quickly, he said in the village that he would follow the Hou Ye for the rest of his life, no matter whether the younger brother and sister still love him or not, he will come back to be loyal to the Hou Ye" Gan Ning quickly explained on one knee.

"My lord, all the sins are on the little girl, if you want to punish me, punish me" Chen Yuer also knelt down, if she hadn't respected her father's order too much, deceived Li Ming, and misunderstood Cheng Erhu, there would have been no such thing.

Li Ru looked at the three kneeling people, and a smile flashed in his eyes, but he was still very serious and said: "Participating in the Juxian Guan, it is the soldiers of the Hou Ye, the ministers of the Hou Ye, it is a big taboo to marry a wife in battle, Cheng Erhu is unruly, he should be punished heavily, come to someone, take it off and beat the fifty boards"

"Military Division" Gan Ning said anxiously.

Several soldiers immediately came over and escorted Cheng Erhu up.

"Brother Gan, I'm fine, I deserve it," Cheng Erhu said with a firm face.

Gan Ning's eyes froze, and he said: "Military advisor, Ning is also guilty, and he shouldn't be so lenient with the two tigers."

"Okay, drag Gan Ning down and hit him thirty," Li Ru immediately commanded.

"Xie Junshi" Gan Ning hugged his fists

"Second Tiger, Brother Gan," Chen Yuer cried bitterly.

"Yu'er, I'm fine," Cheng Erhu grinned.

After the two were pulled down, Li Ru gestured to Liu Quan.

Liu Quan immediately understood, and when Li Ru left, he looked at Chen Yu'er, who was still crying, and said softly: "Miss Chen, don't be sad, haven't you seen it yet?" It's over, the two generals are fine"

"Ahh Chen Yuer was stunned.

"There are rewards and punishments, in order to govern the army, and after the execution is completed, the anger of the Hou Ye is estimated to disappear, and the two generals will be summoned again at any time and entrusted with reuse" Liu Quan said with a smile

A trace of excitement flashed on Chen Yuer's face, and she immediately kowtowed: "Thank you, big butler."

"You're welcome, come with me, the two generals are estimated to suffer a little bit of flesh and skin, and they still need the girl's care" Liu Quan smiled slightly.

"No!" Chen Yuer nodded hurriedly and followed.
