This is the biggest drawback of the arrogant soldiers.

Many generals in the Xiliang Army are unruly, and there are many "thorns", and Ma Chao is a typical representative.

If the person who gives the order does not have a sufficiently distinguished record or the prestige of the generals to intimidate them, they will not be able to control them at all, and it will be inevitable to encounter all kinds of difficulties and gags, and there will even be people who dare to disobey the good and the bad, or directly disobey the order.

Prior to this, this phenomenon was not absent, but it had not attracted Li Li's attention.

Even when he occasionally heard the reaction of some civilian officials or generals, he laughed it off and didn't really take it to heart, let alone solve the problem or deal with the people involved. This is because he completely regarded these trivial matters as the complaints of civil officials or some generals, and they were insignificant, not worth making a fuss about, and did not need to be taken care of.

But this time is different. Last night's emergency had a huge impact and was extremely bad in nature, not only related to Zhuge Liang's face, but also directly affected his life safety.

In this way, Li Li could not ignore it. It's a matter of your own safety, how can you take it lightly?

Because of this incident, since the third watch last night, Li Li has not closed his eyes, and has repeatedly thought about this seemingly small "trivial matter" that cannot be ignored.

Speaking of which, Zhuge Liang has been out of office for more than three years, and now he is twenty years old, which is not young. Thinking that he Li Li followed his uncle Li Wei to fight in the east and west when he was a teenager, he had led the army alone before he was 16 years old, and defeated the famous general Zhu Jun in the first battle of Zhongmu, and became famous since then. At the age of seventeen, he was ordered to release the Taishou of Wuwei County. Since then, he has been in charge of the army, and since then, he has fought in the east and west, and in the south and north. Spent nearly a decade on horseback; The soldiers and horses under his command have grown from more than 3,000 people to nearly one million soldiers now, and the territory under his rule has grown from only a few small cities to half of the country today.

Today. Li Li is only twenty-five years old, twenty-six years old, not much older than Zhuge Liang. However, in his career as a horseman, there has never been a matter of being troubled by the generals under his command, let alone a precedent of disobedience and disrespect, and no one dares to disobey his orders, never. The root cause of this lies in the fact that all the qiē he has now are made by real swords and real guns, and all the civil and military forces under his command are personally recruited or conscripted by him. It was also cultivated by him.

In contrast, Zhuge Liang's road to becoming a leader is relatively smooth, he has not experienced too many twists and turns, lacks tempering, and has gone all the way smoothly with almost no setbacks. The most important thing is that Zhuge Liang has not been tempered at the grassroots level, and he has a very high start, and at first glance he is the sacrificial wine of the General's Mansion. Then it was the military division sacrificial wine, and then to today's left army division of the Southern Expeditionary Army, whose official rank is comparable to Jiuqing; And he has won the trust of Li Li, and he is really a close minister. The "red man" in front of Li Li.

At the same time, relative to military generals, Zhuge Liang is a civilian official. Naturally, there are no visible and tangible meritorious records such as charging into battle or cutting generals in front of the battle. Not only that, but every time there is a war. There was no figure of him on the battlefield at all, and it had nothing to do with him fighting in battle or leading troops to charge. What he did was behind the scenes, such as pre-war planning, command, or post-war pensions. However, when it comes to rewarding meritorious deeds, civil officials or strategists like him are often ranked in front of military generals, and even rank first in merit, and the rewards are extremely rich, and it is easy to get promotions, and even being promoted to the third level is not a myth, but it is entirely possible to achieve it.

Because of this, the contradictions between civil officials and military generals have been around for a long time, and this has been the case in all dynasties, and it is not uncommon. And this phenomenon is particularly prominent in Zhuge Liang, which is extremely conspicuous, which makes the generals in the army pay attention to him for a long time, and there are quite a lot of complaints behind his back. It's just that they have never had the opportunity to come out, they almost have no intersection with Zhuge Liang, they rarely work together, or every time they work with him, Li Li is always in charge of the Chinese army, so that they don't dare to make a mistake at all, let alone provoke Zhuge Liang.

Perhaps it was these long-standing pent-up feelings that finally broke out last night, so that when the situation was critical, the generals actually argued with Zhuge Liang face to face, thus delaying for half an hour and almost trapping Li Li in danger.

Not only that, when Zhuge Liang reported the incident to Li Li, Li Li could see that although Zhuge Liang concisely stated the facts and deliberately omitted the part where the generals led by Ma Chao deliberately made things difficult for him, he was still in a low mood, and there was a bit of humiliation in his eyes.

At that time, although Li Li saw some clues, he pretended not to know, Zhuge Liang didn't say it himself, and he didn't ask. After the situation in the Yizhou Prefecture Governor's Mansion stabilized, he secretly ordered Li Zhi to investigate, and in less than half an hour, he found out the whole thing clearly. This is the actual embodiment of Li Li's firm control over the army. As long as he wants to know something, even the privacy of a certain general can't hide it from him, let alone other things.

Therefore, more than a dozen generals led by Ma Chao openly resisted Zhuge Liang's order and deliberately made it difficult to ridicule him, so that the timing was delayed and almost caused a catastrophe. These all fell on Li Li's ears, and Li Zhi investigated them in detail, and almost repeated everything Ma Chao and others had said without a word.

In fact, just as Li Li saw in Zhuge Liang's eyes, Zhuge Liang was indeed wronged, and was ridiculed and embarrassed by more than ten generals, and even took out the identity of Li Li's brother-in-law and brother-in-law to talk about things, implying that he had today's power by virtue of nepotism, and the rest of the words were even more unbearable. What Zhuge Liang has endured can no longer be regarded as difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is humiliating.

Because of this, Zhuge Liang did not follow Li Li out of the city after dawn, and still stayed in the city. Although he claimed to stay in the Wu Mansion to protect the safety of several sisters-in-law, Li Li knew that this was just his excuse, in fact, he had not recovered after being swept away by Ma Chao and others, and he didn't know how to face them.

In addition, there is another layer of deep meaning for him to stay in the city. This is that he knows that nothing in the army can be hidden from Li Li, so he wants to know how Li Li will deal with this matter, whether he will reprimand Ma Chao and others in public or punish them slightly, or ignore them and pretend not to know.

Faced with this situation, Li Li couldn't help but think that Zhuge Liang seemed to have experienced a similar scene in history, and the humiliation he suffered was even worse than this time.

At that time, Liu Bei went to Jiangdong to marry Sun Quan's sister, and the old man in his fifties met Sun Shangxiang, who was at a prime age and born like a flower. Guan and Zhang, who stayed in Jingzhou, waited left and right, but they still didn't see Liu Bei come back, but they saw that Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in Jingzhou and acting as General Zuo, was as stable as Mount Tai, and he didn't care about Liu Bei's life or death at all. Seeing this, Guan Zhang and the others were furious, and immediately asked Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang said that the lord had been displaced for half his life, and now the newlywed Yan'er, Lang and concubine, it is reasonable to stay for more time, and he will come back in a few days.

But Guan and Zhang did not agree with his remarks, but thought that he wanted to replace Liu Bei, trying to occupy Liu Bei's foundation and be his own master. Then the two of them spoke ill of Zhuge Liang, overturning Zhuge Liang's table again and again, and even scolding, Zhuge Liang, who was scolded all the time, was red-faced, self-ashamed, and wanted to go into the ground and fall quiet. Since then, for more than a month, Guan and Zhang have come to make trouble every day; If it weren't for the fact that he knew that Zhuge Liang was a scholar and scribe, and he was resourceful and calculating, the two of them had some scruples, but they were afraid that they would be rough and beat Zhuge Liang all over the ground to find his teeth.

Because of this, Zhuge Liang in history rarely used the two generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and would rather let them sit on one side than lead them to lead the army to fight. In contrast, Zhuge Liang prefers to use generals such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Liao Hua, even if they are second-rate, third-rate, or non-mainstream generals, he will use them well, but he does not use the brave Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Before that, he used Guan and Zhang to be superb, and achieved the prestige of the two of them; But after that, there is no need to close the two of them anymore.

Time and space have turned, and the situation in the world has changed greatly, but some things that should happen will come sooner or later. It's just that this time it's no longer the Guan and Zhang brothers, but Li Li's confidant Ma Chao, and more than ten generals in the Longxiang camp. What is surprising is that neither the generals under Zhao Yun nor Huang Zhong were involved in this matter, especially Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong did not hesitate to accept the order after receiving Zhuge Liang's order, there was no nonsense at all, and naturally there was no question.

Only Ma Chao is eventful. Pretending to be confused, this guy obviously knew that Zhuge Liang could not fake military orders, but he wanted to make irresponsible remarks and make a lot of difficulties, so that his generals followed behind and coaxed, which was simply unprovoked and deliberately bullied Kong Ming.

But is Zhuge Kongming a person who can be deceived?

Don't you see that in order to recruit him, Li Li not only married his sister to the family, but also pulled his brother Zhuge Jin to his side, and recognized him as a righteous brother?

If Ma Chao only offended Zhuge Liang, Li Li would at most reprimand him, and then ask him to apologize to Kong Ming and be done. But Ma Chao is not authentic, and he wasted half an hour when he had nothing to do, which almost caused him Li Li to be in danger, which is extremely hateful. Is life at stake child's play?

?????? Longxiang Battalion, the big tent of the Chinese army.

When Ma Chao was still complaining about Zhuge Liang's many wrongs, Li Li's face became more and more gloomy after being silent for a long time, and he suddenly scolded in a deep voice: "Shut up!" You are so daring! For several months, Kong Ming has been by my side, specializing in uploading and issuing military orders and conveying military orders, do you dare to say that you don't know anything? Last night, General Ben personally went to Liu Zhang's mansion to negotiate with him, how dangerous the situation was, because you had nothing to do, and entangled with Kong Ming, and dragged on for half an hour, almost trapping me in a dangerous place! Ma Mengqi, are you guilty? ”
