Cui Xiu handed over a list of more than a dozen, most of them were first-class brigade commanders and captains, some of whom Li Xin was familiar with, and some of whom were unfamiliar. After Li Xin saw it, he just shook his head gently.

"General, what should we do with these people, should we drive them out of the military academy with the battalion?" Cui Xiu said cautiously.

"No need." Li Xin thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "It is also human nature for people to go to a high place, and the reason why they are bought by the family is not because of their own heart, but because I am not strong enough." If I am strong, how can these people be bought by the family? Li Xin burned the list in his hand and didn't take it to heart at all.

"General Rende." Cui Xiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he completely took refuge in Li Xin this time, but in fact, in his heart, he didn't want the relationship with the family to be too stiff. If Li Xin dealt with these generals who colluded with the family at this time, the Kwantung family would definitely find out, which would be detrimental to Cui Xiunai and his father Cui Yuan. Simply enough, Li Xin burned these lists, which means that the other party will not pursue it again. Cui Xiu was finally relieved.

"How is Duan Qi?" Li Xin suddenly asked again, and the frightened Cui Xiu's face changed, and he looked at the big tent, but there was Du Ruhui alone, so he was relieved.

"General Duan Qi and his father Duan Kuan were actually the personal soldiers of the King of Lanling back then, and they did not have a good relationship with the family. I hate the Gao family very much in my heart. Cui Xiu didn't dare to slack off and gave a very important answer.

"Very good, go, call Duan Qi in." Li Xin nodded, if Duan Qi also secretly contacted the family, it would really make Li Xin very angry.

"Keming, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought in the Guandu War, after Cao Cao's victory, he seized a lot of official letters from Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao burned these letters, do you know why?" Li Xin suddenly asked.

"Yuan Shao is dead, these people have no allegiance, because of guilt, they can only be loyal to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's move can also gain a reputation for magnanimity, why not?" Du Ruhan said with a smile: "The general's strength today is not as good as those families, so it has to be so, and punishing this batch can only make those families notice, and they will cultivate another batch, no matter how many generals find out, so will the people killed, which will not only not help the general's great cause, but will also affect the morale of the general's army." ”

"What Keming said is very true." Li Xin opened his mouth, yawned, and said to Du Ruhui: "It's not too early, Keming should go back and rest early!" ”

"Yes, General." Du Ruhui did not hesitate, stood up, arched his hand towards Li Xin, and then came out of the camp tent, but found Duan Qi striding in at the mouth of the camp tent. He hesitated, then shook his head and left the tent.

"General." Duan Qi didn't have any abnormalities, he still had a straight face, as if he was a dead man.

"This is a list, although these people are brave in battle, but they are not the material to be generals, let them go to logistics and guard food and grass!" Li Xin suddenly grabbed the brush, also took the names of several people, took another piece of paper, and said: "These people have some martial arts, and they are extremely good at killing enemies in battle, and they can be used in the right position." And this person, too, is also very good, slowly promote him, and then let him be your lieutenant. Remember, you are only a lieutenant general, you cannot be in charge of an army alone. Li Xin carefully admonished.

Duan Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he took over the three lists without thinking about it, looking at the names on them, they were all some brigade commanders, captains and the like, and in a moment, Li Xin decided the lives of these people, either exiled, killed, or set aside. Duan Qi didn't ask for a reason, he only knew that Li Xin did this, and he must have his reasons.

Early the next morning, the army continued to advance and headed for Liyangcang. Liyang is a military town north of the Yellow River. It has left a great name in history. The reason why it is so important is not only because of its geographical location, Liyang Cang is bordered by the Yongji Canal in the west and the Yellow River in the east, so the water transportation is extremely convenient. The rented rice exploited from the Hebei region was first concentrated here, and then transported to Luoyang and Chang'an by the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River. When the army was used in the northeast, the military grain transported by Jianghuai was also stored here, and then transported to the northeast, which was the only important granary in Hebei. The most important thing is Liyangcang, the Sui Dynasty, especially the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, had a special habit of grain, and they liked to collect grain. The ruling class of the second generation of the Sui and Tang dynasties has always attached great importance to the management of Liyangcang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, several expeditions to Liao were made, and people were sent here to supervise the transportation of grain. Later, during the Celestial Empire, the archaeology of the Liyang area was carried out, and it was found that the stock in it could feed nearly 100,000 people for a year, but this was only part of the excavation, and there may be many that have not been excavated.

This shows the importance of Liyangcang.

Yang Xuangan was able to raise troops to revolt here, relying on Liyangcang. and later Li Mi, Dou Jiande, etc., all relied on Liyangcang to make a career.

Although Liyang Cang is called Liyang Cang, it is not in Liyang City, but outside Liyang City, Liyang Cang is built on the mountain, it is a city, but this city is not inhabited by the people, but stored grain, not only the city wall, but also the moat, as well as various defense equipment and so on. Coupled with the location, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and thousands of men and horses can be deployed here to resist the attack of tens of thousands of troops.

Liyang City is tall, and when Yang Xuangan first started to raise troops, he didn't have many troops in his hands, so he just left Yuan Wuben to stick to Liyang Cang, and did not attack Liyang City. And the garrison in Liyang is the tiger Benlang general Chen Ling, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses under him, in the face of this situation, he can only stick to Liyang City, dare not provoke Yuan Wuben, and even Yang Xuangan's grain road has not been cut off. Simply enough, Yuan Wuben didn't have the ability to seize Liyang, so everyone simply had nothing to do with each other and played their own games.

But when Li Xin arrived at Liyang, although Chen Ling was the same as Li Xin in terms of official position, he still honestly greeted Li Xin's arrival at the city gate, the backstage of the two sides was different, Li Xin rose directly from the white body to the tiger Benlang general within half a year, such a saint is not comparable to Chen Ling.

"General Chen, what is the situation of the customs clearance now? Is Princess Nanyang safe? As soon as Li Xin saw Chen Ling, he couldn't wait to ask.

"General Li rest assured, Linqingguan is safe and sound, Linqingguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you want to capture Linqingguan, the thousands of men and horses under Yang Gongdao do not have that strength." Chen Ling said without thinking.
