The crowd exclaimed:

"Dashuai!"

Li Yu stopped everyone from saying to Ding Shiliang:

"Ben Shuai respects you as a good man, and he doesn't want you to die. Let you go now, if you still want to go back to Huaixi, he will see you on the battlefield in the future, and he will be merciless! ”

Ding Shiliang, who was left standing, returned to his seat, and Li Yu said:

"You can go!"

Ding Shiliang suddenly knelt down and said:

"Li Shuai! Ding Shiliang is willing to return to the king and die under Li Shuai's account! ”

As soon as they heard Ding Shiliang say that he would return to the king's master, everyone was surprised. Ding Shiliang said:

"The sin will not be a Huaixi person. During the first year of Zhenyuan, he was subordinate to the Anzhou Yi Thorn History Account, fought against Huaixi, was captured by Huaixi, and thought that he would definitely die. Wu Shuai released me and used me as a general. I was reborn because of Wu Shuai, so I did my best for Wu Shuai and his son. Today, I was captured with all my strength, and I thought I was going to die. Li Gong saved my life again. Please let me Ding Shiliang do my best to repay the virtue of Li Gong's rebirth! ”

"Good!"

Li Yu stepped forward to help Ding Shiliang and said:

"With the help of Shiliang, Li is like a tiger with wings!"

The generals of Shannan were still angry, but Li Yu didn't care, and said to the generals:

"Since Shiliang has returned to the imperial court, then everyone will be colleagues in the army in the future, and they should get along with each other, and they should not mention the grievances of the year. His conscience is repaid, and you will know his benefits in the future. ”

Tian Zhirong wanted to speak, but was glared back by Li Yu. Then Li Yu ordered to make a contribution to Ma Shaoliang. He also repaired the official document and went to Lu Zhen's office to sign Ding Shiliang as a general under the tent, and ordered the sergeant to pack a side tent for Ding Shiliang to live in, and selected soldiers to serve Ding Shiliang, and equipped Ding Shiliang with good horses and elite soldiers.

After settling Ding Shiliang, Yan Qin also said goodbye and left, and he did not camp with Li Yu.

That night, Li Yu ordered Ding Shiliang to set up wine for the wind. At present, the great enemy is limited by military orders, and each person is only allowed to drink three bowls of wine. After three bowls of wine, the atmosphere gradually eased. However, in the end, the wine was not drunk thoroughly or happily, and the generals of Shannan and Ding Shiliang were still unfamiliar and wary. After the meal, Ding Shiliang returned to the tent and burned his feet under the service of the soldiers, lay on the bunk and thought about it, felt that it was not a way, and said to himself:

"Although I am under Li Shuai's care now, the generals under the account do not wait to see me, but I want to make a contribution and let the Shannan barbarians see my methods."

In the middle of the night, Ding Shiliang suddenly heard a faint movement, Gu Lu turned over, and the soldiers who served him were still asleep, and were picked up by Ding Shiliang with one hand, and he was about to struggle, but he heard a monstrous shout of killing outside the camp. Ding Shiliang said disdainfully:

"So careless, beware of someone cutting off your head in your dream."

When he opened the tent curtain, he saw that the lights outside the camp were all over the field, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but the camp did not move at all. Although the soldiers were flustered, they were well organized under the command of the officers. Groups of soldiers were assembled and lined up behind the camp gate. The soldiers, who had not received orders, rested in front of their tents. Ding Shiliang couldn't help but say:

"Huaixi said that Li Shuai was not familiar with military affairs, but Li Shuai was so disciplined."

But when he saw Li Yu holding a gun through his armor and riding on a horse, he immediately ran over and said:

"Li Shuai, please allow the last general to take Li Shuai as the first general!"

Tian Zhirong said:

"This guy was captured during the day, and Huaixi attacked the camp at night, God knows if there is something else to hide."

Ding Shiliang was furious and said:

"What did you say?"

Li Yu stopped and said:

"The strong enemy is in front, but the two are quarreling with each other, what kind of system has it become? Someone came, and tied them up. ”

Tian Zhirong struggled to himself, but was pulled off his horse by the military lawyers. Ding Shiliang didn't move, let the soldiers tie himself up, and the military judge naturally put the two into the back account. Seeing that the generals looked at themselves and waited for the dispatch, Li Yu said:

"This is Huaixi's trickery, testing the reality of our army, if it really attacks the camp, where are there so many lights lit, making such a big move, our army wants to fight, but it is in their arms. Passing on our military order, Wang Yi led the troops and horses of his headquarters to monitor, and the others went back to the camp to cover their ears and sleep. ”

When everyone heard this, it really made sense. The military order has been issued, and everyone will naturally follow it. Li Yu quietly ordered someone to take the order and transfer the elite Sixth Academy Army from the south of Tangzhou City and Shannan to the camp and ambush. The Huaixi army saw that there was a commotion for a long time, but the officers and troops did not make the slightest movement, and they slowly retreated during the third watch. Wang Yi did not dare to slack off. At dawn, everyone was already tired, and they were thinking about waiting for the military order to come down so that they could rest, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The officers were busy ordering the soldiers to be on guard. When the sound of horses' hooves came closer, he recognized it as the army of the Sixth Academy of Shannan. There are many Huaixi soldiers and horses in the middle. This posture is to come back from a victory.

Sure enough, soon Li Yu passed down an order to open the door and let the army of the Sixth Academy of Shannan come in, and let Wang Yi lead his troops back to the camp to rest. When the soldiers heard that the Sixth Academy Army had won the battle, they all went out of the camp to watch, but they did not dare to make a noise. The two generals in the army of the Sixth Academy turned over and dismounted, but it was Tian Zhirong and Ding Shiliang.

In front of Li Yu, the two turned over and dismounted, and Tian Zhirong arched his hand and said loudly:

"The last general and others were ordered to make meritorious service and lead the soldiers of the Sixth Academy of Shannan to ambush the Huaixi thieves in the middle of the road. Defeated the thief army, beheaded more than 600 people, captured more than 100 people, our army was damaged no more than 100 people, and captured the Wencheng Gate guard Wu Xiulin's banner to the marshal! ”

As he spoke, Ding Shiliang raised the forward flag. As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet army suddenly talked about it, and everyone was pleasantly surprised. Over the years, Shannan Dongdao and Eyue have suffered a lot from Huaixi, but they didn't expect that they could defeat once. The officers and men of the Sixth Academy are also proud. Li Yu did not stop the soldiers from talking, he knew that now was a good time to mobilize morale.

Sure enough, the soldiers talked more and more, this way:

"Huaixi thieves are nothing more than that!"

The one said:

"Isn't it? Even the military flag was taken away by us. ”

Li Yu saw that the fire was almost over, and with one hand, the soldiers gradually quieted down. Xu Hui, the secretary in charge, stepped forward and said:

"General Tian Ding II led the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Academy Army to win the battle, please remember the military merit award!"

The soldiers chanted:

"Military merit, military merit, military merit!"

Li Yu nodded in permission, and Xu Hui went to count the heads and take prisoners. Li Yu turned pale and said to the second general:

"The thieves attacked the camp last night, but the two of you quarreled in front of the army, can you be guilty?"

The two of them originally saw that Li Yu was allowed to take credit, but when the matter of last night was revealed, Li Yu mentioned it again, of course, he hurriedly knelt down and said:

"The last will be convicted! Please punish Li Shuai. ”

Tian Zhirong said:

"This ambush was successful, and General Doridin planned it. The last general will be selfish, self-speculating, wronged his colleagues, and the crime is only one of the generals, and he has nothing to do with General Ding. Please ask Li Shuai to punish a certain person. ”

Ding Shiliang was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Yu. Li Yu said:

"Now that the two of you have been convicted, Ben Shuai will be punished lightly. Tian Zhirong provoked the incident in front and blamed thirty military sticks. Ding Shiliang quarreled and blamed twenty military sticks. Military merit is counted separately. Do you two have something to say? ”

I could have left Ding Shiliang with me, but that would have made Ding Shiliang too outward, so I was a little lighter. Ding Shiliang was really satisfied with Li Yu's disposition. The two of them have their military achievements guaranteed, so naturally they have nothing to say. As for the thirty or twenty military sticks, both of them are people with rough skin and thick flesh, so of course they don't take it to heart. It's a big deal to dredge up with the military judge when the time comes, Tian Zhirong thought. Li Yu said:

"At the moment of a strong enemy, we should work together to retreat from the enemy. If there is a repeat offender in the future, this commander will not be pardoned! ”

Naturally, the generals would not take Li Yu's words as a joke and sang in unison. Li Yu was very satisfied with everyone's performance, and ordered Tian Zhirong and Ding Shiliang to go to the Judge Advocate General's Office to lead the army. As soon as Tian Zhirong was about to leave, Ding Shiliang shouted:

"Li Shuai, the last general has a plan to break the city gate, please allow the last general to make suggestions, let the last general and General Li make meritorious service again, and make a note of this military stick for the time being."

Although he didn't care, but being spanked was naturally not a glorious thing, Tian Zhirong looked at Ding Shiliang, and suddenly felt that this guy was so pleasing to the eye, and he didn't expect Ding Shiliang to be ashamed for a while when he just wanted to find a military judge to dredge.

More than 600 enemies were killed and more than 100 prisoners were taken in one sortie, which was not a small victory in the early days of the war. Li Yu ordered more than 100 captives to be gathered together and went to interrogate him himself, while ordering Xu Hui to write a report of victory. Speaking of this Xu Hui's fate is still very funny, the reason why he came out was actually because of the bad luck of Yang Ping, the former Jiangxi observer.

At the beginning of the year, Yang Ping was impeached by Li Yijian, the imperial historian, for corruption, and was demoted to Lingnan by Li Yu. Because of the legend, the emperor was so angry that he even wanted to confiscate Yang Ping's family property, and no one who was familiar with Yang Ping dared to see him off. Only Xu Hui, who was the lieutenant of Liyang County at that time, went to Lantian to bid farewell to Xu Hui. Taichang Qing Quan Deyu and Xu Hui have a good relationship, and persuaded him:

"Yang is convicted, and everyone avoids it, why do you want to avoid suspicion and touch this mold?"

Xu Hui cried and said:

"When Xia Guan was down, he was appreciated and recommended by Yang Gong to get to where he is today, and now that Yang Gong has been convicted, how dare he not send him for self-protection?"

Quan Deyu sighed for a long time. Soon after, Li Yijian, who knew about the matter, recommended Xu Hui as the supervisor of the imperial history. Xu Hui was very strange, so he went to see Li Yijian and said:

"The lower official and the doctor have never known each other, why does the doctor recommend the lower official?"

Li Yijian didn't talk much nonsense, and said:

"Li is recommending talents for the country. Your Excellency refuses to even turn your back on Yang Ping, how can you fail the country? ”

For a time, Xu Hui was loyal and pure, and Li Yijian's good stories of knowing people spread all over the government and the opposition. Li Yijian was praised as having the bearing of a prime minister, and Xu Hui was appreciated by Li Yu because of this, and he came to Shannan with Li Yu as the secretary.

After questioning the captives, Li Yu ordered a reward for the most active conversations. It's just that I didn't expect to ask the captives if they were willing to stay in the official army to serve, and the captives actually said yes in unison, asking the reason made Li Yu cry and laugh, naturally there were also those who said that they were handsome and benevolent, and that Huaixi was perverse, but more prisoners said that:

"Follow you, there's meat to eat!"

Looking at the meat pot of the Sixth Academy Army in Shannan that was boiling in the camp next door, although he couldn't cry or laugh, Li Yu could only arrange these soldiers. ordered them to be controlled by Ding Shiliang in the future, and ordered each of them to give them two steamed buns and a bowl of broth. After a while, the sound of sucking and sucking continued to sound. A scribe in military uniform came to Li Yu, bowed and saluted:

"Marshal, my subordinate has been educated and joined the army, and Cui Yi has been ordered to come."

Just when the morale of Shannan was greatly boosted by a small victory, contacts on the northern front also became frequent. Maybe it's because the prince came to the front line in person, Wu Chongyin and Gao Xiayu, Han Gongwu successively sent teams of soldiers and horses across the water to test the enemy's situation, but Wang Pei from Chen Xu knew the roots of Huaixi, and he closed the camp to train in the past two days, and didn't ask anything else. Zhang Boliang, who had a military meeting in Caizhou and returned to the front line of Yuncheng, also moved constantly, and the cavalry of more than 100 people often appeared around the official army, in Lishui Town, the two sides even had a battle of more than 500 people, the official army of 300 against the Huaixi rebel army of 200, the result was frustrating, after the 300 officers and soldiers contacted the 200 rebels for a moment, the whole army was defeated, and only a dozen people fled back, which made the main general Gao Xiayu feel that he had no face, and he was very angry, and muttered to Wu Chongyin:

"If Lao Tzu's Changwu Army is in the army, you have to kill all these Huaixi rabbits."

The reason why Gao Xiayu scolded the rabbits of the Huaixi Army was because the Huaixi Army was too cunning, retreating as soon as it came into contact, and biting you when it caught the opportunity, and its tactics were extremely flexible. In fact, after studying the example of Han Quanyi's defeat, Han Yu, the squire of the military department, has already issued a document reminding all armies that the Huaixi Army loves and is good at winning by surprise, likes to rob camps, likes to burn grain and grass, is good at raids, night attacks, counterattacks, and is good at the tactical characteristics of small-scale troop cooperation, but it is still impossible to prevent it, no wonder Gao Xia Yu is so angry that he is about to go berserk.
