In the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an, the Dahan prefectures became more and more calm, like a pool of stagnant water without waves, without a single ripple.

Hanoi Grand Camp. Last night, with a group of more than 1,000 iron horsemen stationed in the camp late at night, the camp tent of the metropolitan governor Guo Jia changed hands.

Fortunately, the person who occupied the magpie's nest was still a little conscientious, and did not drive Guo Jia out late at night, but let him stay in the camp where he had lived for more than a year.

Obviously, there is only one person in the entire Xiliang Army who lives in the barracks and is accompanied by female dependents, and he is Li Wenchang, the commander of the whole army.

He is the only one who dares to be so domineering, and dares to drive the governor of the Hanoi army out of the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, and then take it for himself.

This time, Li Li came to Sili mainly to relax, and to take the tour of the Tunjun camp along the way, and the final destination was Huguan.

A month ago, Yizhou sent back news that the Western Expedition army led by Zhuge Liang suffered a heavy blow for the first time, and more than 50,000 troops under the vanguard general Ma Chao survived except for the main general Ma Chao, deputy generals Zhang Fei and Cao Xing, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were wiped out. In the battle, twenty-three generals and above were killed, including Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Tie and Huan Fei's two generals Huan Yi and Huan Quan.

After hearing the news, Li Li and Huan Fei and other generals rushed to Jiameng Pass in Hanzhong in the starry night, waiting for the coffins of these generals who had followed him in the southern and northern wars to be transported from Shu Road. For this reason, Li Li waited for two days in front of the pass, and then personally escorted the coffin back to Chang'an, buried half a month ago, buried in Leling, and posthumously called Ma Tie, Huan Yi, and Huan Quan three will be the marquis.

This was the largest casualty defeat in the year and a half of Zhuge Liang's westward expedition to the Southern Barbarians. For this reason, Zhuge Liang pleaded guilty. Li Li approved that he still lead the army, stabilize the morale of the army, and try to fight again. After the war, they will be punished together, and the crime will be rewarded and punished.

Time is a razor-sharp knife. It has been a full decade since Li Li started the army. In the past ten years, the army under Li Li has continued to grow and develop, from the initial team of thousands to a million army, ups and downs along the way; The group of old brothers who initially followed him to work hard were decreasing year by year, and there were few ordinary sergeants left except for being promoted to generals.

At the beginning of the army, Li Li promised to live and die with them and share prosperity and prosperity, but there are not many veterans who can really survive until now, but as long as they can survive. At least they are also the low-level generals at the level of tun commanders and military marquis, and hundreds of middle-level and low-level generals can worship the generals and be crowned marquis, while the middle-level generals are rising to the top, and most of them enjoy preferential treatment second only to the commanders of each battalion. Not only that, Li Li made arrangements as early as the end of the Sili War five years ago, intending to protect the first batch of veterans who followed him to fight, so that they could leave the front line and change from the main battle camp to the city defense army stationed in the rear.

However, no matter how to protect them. The war continues, and fighting a war always kills people. After the defeat in Jizhou, Li Li stationed heavy troops in the Central Plains states, and hundreds of thousands of troops were all stationed on the Central Plains battlefield. Therefore, when conquest of Yizhou, Li Li's troops and horses were already overstretched, and he had to draw a part of the troops from the rear garrison army to rush to the battlefield in Yizhou. Outcome?????? It's time to come after all.

The two generals Huan Yi and Huan Quan were the first to follow Li Li to fight, and they were sent to the rear to defend the city after the end of the Sili War. Turned into a general of the county government and no longer charged. There were not enough troops during the conquest of Yizhou. They were dispatched to escort grain and grass, and after the battle of Yizhou, they took the initiative to invite Ying to participate in the battle. Follow Zhuge Liang to the west to conquer the southern barbarians. On the day of the army's expedition, Li Li personally went to the school to swear and pour wine for them; Unexpectedly, Chengdu became a permanent trick, and more than 40,000 county soldiers under Huan Yi and Huan Quan's accounts were all killed on the battlefield.

Huan Yi and Huan are all brothers of life and death that Huan Fei met in the desert of the Western Regions in his early years, in addition to the two of them, there are also Huan Wolf, Huan Leopard, Huan Shuang and Huan Zhong. These six people were originally the descendants of the Han slaves who were abducted by the Hu people in the Western Regions, only the milk name has no surname, because of their own bravery, they broke away from the Hu tribe when they grew up, and each occupied the mountain as the king, until they met Huan Fei and were subjugated by him one after another, so they are all names given by Huan Fei, which is equivalent to the family general.

To be honest, the reason why Li Li was able to gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou in his early years was directly related to the defection of the Xiangma team led by Huan Fei. In other words, without the support of this ringing horse, Li Li would not have achieved what he is today.

Now, two of the six generals under Huan Fei's tent have died and one is seriously injured, and only three are able-bodied. No matter what others think, whether he buys people's hearts or cares sincerely, he will do what he should do. People are doing, the sky is watching, life in the world as long as you have a clear conscience, why be afraid of people's words?

After burying these generals who died on the battlefield, Huan Fei's feelings were low, and he used wine all day to drown his sorrows, and he was drunk like mud for half a month. Li Li was also in a heavy mood, but he was worried that Huan Fei would get drunk to death sooner or later if he continued to be so decadent, so he had to take him with him, and after settling down various matters, he took him to leave Chang'an and go to the Central Plains to inspect the troops in various places.

For Li Li, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he has long been accustomed to life and death, but it does not mean that he ignores life, especially those old friends who have known each other for many years. When people are depressed, go out for a walk, take a look, travel, maybe the mood will be better; This was the original intention of Li Li's trip.

This time, Li Li did not bring his family, only Dian Wuflawless and Zhurong, who were good at reaching out, accompanied by the two daughters; However, Huan Fei brought all his family members with him, a wife and eight concubines, and more than a dozen beautiful women with good looks to accompany him, Yingying Yanyan surrounded Huan Fei all day long, hugged left and right to travel with the United States, and deserved to be the famous "No. 1 General of Xiliang".

Obviously, Li Li's visit to the Central Plains this time was not just to accompany Huan Fei out to relax, there must be other purposes. As the overlord of a party, his time is very precious, just the mountains of notes make him dizzy, how can he have leisure to accompany his generals out to relax.

?????? Another good night's sleep. It wasn't until the third day of the day that Li Li came out of the back tent, followed by the two daughters of Dian Wufang and Zhurong, who were dressed in armor and had not disappeared on their cheeks. Obviously, the two girls who arrived at the camp yesterday afternoon let Li Li treat them well, making them radiant and radiant, and their gestures revealed thousands of styles, showing the peerless demeanor of a beautiful young woman.

In the blink of an eye, Dian Wufang has been following Li Li for almost ten years, but the years have not left a trace on her beautiful face, but it has become more and more beautiful and moving, and there is infinite charm in the flow of eyes. After so many years, Li Li is still overwhelmed by her, as long as he is with her, he can't help but fight, scoring two goals is the norm, and occasionally he will explode, and he is a peerless stunner who is fascinated and does not pay for his life.

Zhu Rong, who followed Dian Flawless, was not inferior, whether it was his appearance or charming temperament, he was not inferior to Dian Flawless. The most important thing is that the martial arts of the two of them are also comparable, and their personalities are also very similar, so the two are very close to each other, as if they were born to be sisters. Since the first time they met, they have been inseparable, forming a new pair of sisters who are not inferior to Ren Hongchang and He Ying, so there is a second pair of sisters in the inner house.

It is worth mentioning that since Zhu Rong followed Li Li, her dress has become more and more conservative, and the refreshing outfit that used to show her arms and legs has completely disappeared, and she has all been replaced with tight long skirts and armor. For more than a year, she likes to follow Li Li and be his personal guard, wearing a special bright silver armor, heroic and sassy, no matter where she goes, it is a beautiful scenery, which is very eye-catching. Therefore, Li Li is also by her, staying by her side is both eye-catching and comfortable, why not do it.

After lunch, Li Li and Guo Jia sat in the handsome tent drinking tea and talking. Speaking of which, since the end of the battle against Yuan, Li Li and Guo Jia have not sat together and chatted for two years. Separated by two places, each other has a lot of things to do, and there is no chance to meet at all, such as the situation finally stabilized today, and the two ministers finally got together again.

Recently, after a detailed investigation, Cao Cao's governance office in Yecheng is building a lot of construction, not only repairing the abandoned palace of the former Han Emperor Liu Xie, but also tearing down the dilapidated Yuan Shao's mansion and rebuilding. In addition, the officials of the states and counties under Cao Cao seem to be also very busy, and the county towns of the states and counties have carried out a certain amount of rectification and repair, and many families have also been busy. Looking at this posture, there must be something big in Jizhou in the near future. Guo Jia poured Li Li a cup of tea while whispering.

Li Li smiled indifferently and said, "From this point of view, Cao Cao wants to ascend the throne and become emperor." ”

Guo Jia nodded and said: "There should be no mistake, the preparations before the enthronement have been going on for half a year, and now they are all ready, just waiting to recover the entire territory of Jizhou, presumably Cao Cao will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and change the Yuan to open the country." ”

After a pause, Guo Jia took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and then said: "Since last summer, Cao Cao has mobilized more than 100,000 troops to attack Changshan and Zhongshan, but fortunately, General Ju Yi can fight well and fight with Cao's army repeatedly, and with 70,000 cavalry, he withstood the attack of more than 100,000 Cao troops. In the spring of this year, Cao Cao once again sent troops to encircle and suppress, with Cao Ren as the main general, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Jiang Qi as deputy generals, leading an army of 200,000 to besiege more than 40,000 soldiers and horses under Ju Yi.

Half a month ago, Weichen received a battle report that Zhongshan Kingdom had fallen, and General Ju Yi reduced his forces, retreated to Changshan, and confronted the Chinese army led by Cao Ren. At present, General Ju Yi was in a hurry, and sent his own soldiers to the camp three times to ask for help, and it was expected that the defenders of the counties in the prefecture also received a letter from General Ju Yi asking for help. If the reinforcements could not arrive in time, it would be difficult for General Ju Yi's existing 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses to resist Cao Ren's more than 100,000 troops, and perhaps in the next two days, he would receive a report of General Ju Yi's defeat and retreat. Guo Jia's words revealed the meaning of inquiry, and also the meaning of interceding for Ju Yi. This is because, long before Guo Jia received Ju Yi's letter asking for help, he received a military order from Li Li, ordering the 100,000 troops of the Hanoi battalion not to move without permission.

This military order means that the Ju Yi army stranded in Jizhou to contain Cao Cao can only fight alone, and there will be no reinforcements to support for the time being. Even, Guo Jia has another guess, maybe the 70,000 soldiers and horses under Ju Yi's account have been abandoned and cannot get any rescue.
