Chapter 199 [River East]

————————————

In the spring of the seventh year of Jian'an, the states of the Han Dynasty became more and more peaceful, like a pool of stagnant water without any waves, without a trace of ripples.↖w.

Hanoi Camp. Last night, with more than a thousand cavalry entering the camp late at night, the tent of the Grand Governor Guo Jia changed hands.

Fortunately, the man who occupied the magpie's nest was quite conscientious and did not drive Guo Jia out late at night. He also asked him to stay in the camp where he had lived for more than a year. After dawn, he found another camp to stay, because there were female family members who moved in later.

It is obvious that there are only one person in the entire Xiliang army who lives in the military camp and is Li Wenchang, the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

Only he dared to be so domineering and dared to drive the Hanoi army out of the central army's tent and take it for himself.

This time, Li Li came to Sili mainly to relax and inspect the army camps 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 severe blow for the first time. The 50,000 troops under the tent of the vanguard General Ma Chao, the 50,000 troops under the tent of the main general Ma Chao, the deputy general Zhang Fei and Cao Xing survived by chance, and the remaining troops were wiped out. In this battle, 23 generals above the General of the Central Army were killed, including Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Tie, Huan Fei's two master generals Huan Yi and Huan Quan.

After hearing the news, Li Li and Huan Fei and other generals rushed to Jiameng Pass in Hanzhong, waiting for the coffins of these generals who had followed him to fight south and north to transport them out of Shu Road. For this reason, Li Li waited for two days before the pass, and then personally escorted the coffin back to Chang'an. He was buried half a month ago and buried in Leling. He was posthumously named Ma Tie, Huan Yi and Huan Quan as marquis.

This was the biggest casualty defeat in Zhuge Liang's leadership of the Western Expedition to the Southern Barbarians in one and a half years. Zhuge Liang submitted a letter to apologize for this. Li Li approved that he would still lead the army to stabilize the morale of the army and fight again. After the war, he would be punished and rewarded merits and punished.

Time is an extremely sharp knife. It has been ten years since Li Li started his army. In the past ten years, Li Li's army has been growing and growing, from the initial team of thousands to a million troops, and has been going on all the way through ups and downs; the old brothers who first followed him to work hard have decreased year by year, and apart from being promoted to generals, there are few ordinary soldiers left.

At the beginning of the rebellion, Li Li promised to live and die with them and share wealth and prosperity with them, but there were not many veterans who could survive until now, but as long as they survived, they were at least the lower-level generals at the level of military marquis, hundreds of middle-level generals were able to be appointed as generals and marquis, while the middle-level generals were in a high position, and most of them enjoyed generous treatments second only to the heads of each battalion. Not only that, Li Li made arrangements as early as five years ago when the Sili War ended, intending to protect the first group of veterans who followed him to fight, let them leave the front line, and transform from the main battle camp to the city defense force stationed in the rear.

However, no matter how they are protected, the war continues, and war always kills people. After the defeat in Jizhou, Li Li stationed heavy troops in various prefectures in the Central Plains, and hundreds of thousands of troops were all stationed on the battlefield in the Central Plains. So when the conquest of Yizhou, Li Li's troops were already in short supply and had to draw some of the troops from the rear garrison to the battlefield in Yizhou. As a result, what should come came eventually.

The two generals Huan Yi and Huan Quan were the first brothers to follow Li Li to fight. After the war of Sili, they were sent to the rear to defend the city. They were transformed into county government soldiers and no longer charged. When they were conquering Yizhou, they were not strong enough troops. They were drawn to escort food and grass. After the battle of Yizhou, they volunteered to join the war. After Zhuge Liang's expedition to the southern barbarians. On the day of the army's expedition, Li Li personally went to the schoolyard to swore a oath to fight and pour wine for them. Unexpectedly, after the separation of Chengdu, it became Yongjue. Huan Yi and Huan Quan's tent, all the more than 40,000 county government soldiers were killed on the battlefield.

Huan Yi and Huan were all life and death brothers that Huan Fei met in the desert of the Western Regions in his early years. In addition to them, there were also four people, Huan Lang, Huan Bao, Huan Shuang and Huan Zhong. These six people were originally descendants of Han slaves robbed by the Hu people in the Western Regions. They only had nicknames but no surnames. Because they were extremely brave, they left the Hu tribe after they grew up and became kings. They each occupied the mountains and became kings. They were surrendered by him one after another after meeting Huan Fei. Therefore, they were all names given by Huan Fei, which were equivalent to family generals.

To be honest, the reason why Li Li was able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou in his early years was directly related to the fact that the team of horses led by Huan Fei joined him. In other words, without the support of this horse, Li Li would not have achieved what he has today.

Nowadays, two of the six generals under Huan Fei's tent were killed and one seriously injured, leaving only three healthy ones. For the sake of emotion and reason, Li Li must treat them well. No matter how others think, whether they say they are buying people's hearts or caring sincerely, they will do what they should do. People are doing, God is watching, and in life, as long as you have a clear conscience, why fear others' words?

After burying these generals who died on the battlefield, Huan Fei was in a low mood and drown his sorrows all day long. He was drunk for half a month. Li Li was also in a heavy mood, but he was worried that Huan Fei would die of drunkenness sooner or later, so he had to take him by his side, settled all matters and then took him away from Chang'an and went to the Central Plains to inspect the troops stationed in various places.

For Li Li, who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, he has long been used 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, they gathered together to drink and have fun the moment before, but the next moment, there is a separation between yin and yang. When people are depressed, they may feel better when they go out and take a look. This is Li Li's original intention of this trip.

This time Li Li did not bring his family, only Dian Wuxia and Zhurong, who were good at reaching out, accompanied by his two daughters. Huan Fei brought all his family with him, a wife with eight concubines, and more than a dozen beautiful girls with good looks. Yingying surrounded Huan Fei all day long, embracing her beauty with her left and right, and she was worthy of being the famous "No. 1 General of Xiliang".

It is obvious that Li Li came to Zhongyuan this time not only to accompany Huan Fei to relax, but must have other purposes. As a overlord, his time is very precious. Just the mountain of Zujian made him dizzy, so he had no time to accompany his generals to relax.

It was another good night. It was not until midnight that Li Li walked out of the back tent, and there were still two girls Dian Wuxia and Zhu Rong, who had not yet flushed on their cheeks. Obviously, the two girls who arrived at the camp yesterday afternoon gave Li Li a good reward, making them radiant and radiant. They showed all kinds of charm in their every move, showing the peerless charm of a beautiful young woman.

In the blink of an eye, Dian Wuxia has been following Li Li for almost ten years, but the years have not left a trace on her beautiful face. Instead, it has become more and more beautiful and charming, and there is infinite charm in the flow of eyes. After so many years, Li Li is still attracted by her. As long as she is with her, she can't help but beat her. Scoring twice is the norm, and occasionally it will explode. She is a peerless beauty who is fascinated by people and is not worth her life.

Zhu Rong, who was following Dian Wuxia, was not inferior to Dian Wuxia, in terms of appearance, figure and charming temperament. The most important thing is that the two of them have the same martial arts skills and similar personalities, so they are very close to each other, as if they were born sisters. They have been in love since they first met, and since then, they have formed a new combination of Ren Hongchang and He Ying, and the inner palace has a second pair of sisters.

It is worth mentioning that since Zhurong followed Li Li, her outfit has become more and more conservative. The refreshing outfit that used to expose her arms and legs has disappeared completely, and it has been replaced with tight long skirts and armor. For more than a year, she has liked to follow Li Li and be a personal bodyguard for him. She is wearing special bright silver armor and is heroic. She is a beautiful scenery wherever she goes, which is very pleasing to the eye. Therefore, Li Li also lets her stay by her side, which is both pleasing to the eye and comforting, so why not do it?

After lunch, Li Li and Guo Jia sat in the coach's tent and drank tea and talked. Speaking of which, since the end of the Battle against Yuan, Li Li and Guo Jia had not sat together and chatted for two years. Apart from each other, they had a lot of things to do and had no chance to meet. If the situation finally stabilized today, the two ministers finally got together again.

"Recently, it was reported that Cao Cao's capital in Yecheng was under construction, which not only repaired the abandoned palace of Emperor Liu Xie of Han, but also demolished the broken Yuan Shao's mansion. In addition, the officials of Cao Cao's prefectures and counties also seemed to be very busy. The county towns of each prefecture and county have been rectified and repaired to a certain extent, and many families of aristocratic families have also become busy, and they have decorated their colors. Judging from this situation, something big must have happened in Jizhou in the near future." Guo Jia poured a cup of tea for Li Li while reporting the report in a low voice.

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

Guo Jia nodded and said, "It should be no mistake. The preparations before ascending the throne have lasted for half a year. I think it is already ready now. Just wait for the entire territory of Jizhou to recover. I believe Cao Cao will ascend the throne and become emperor, and change the reign of the country."

After a tone, Guo Jia took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, and then said, "Since last summer, Cao Cao mobilized more than 100,000 troops to attack Changshan and Zhongshan Kingdom. Fortunately, General Ju Yi was good at fighting and fought repeatedly with Cao's army. With 70,000 infantry and cavalry, he resisted the attack of more than 100,000 Cao's army. At the beginning of this spring, Cao Cao sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy again, with Cao Ren as the main general, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Jiang Qi as the deputy generals, and led a 200,000 army to besiege more than 40,000 troops under Ju Yi's troops.

Half a month ago, Weichen received a report of war. General Ju Yi shrank his troops and retreated to Changshan to confront the central army led by Cao Ren. Now General Ju Yi was in a hurry and sent his personal troops to the camp three times to ask for help. He expected that the garrisons of the Bingzhou counties also received letters from General Ju Yi. If the reinforcements could not arrive in time, it would be difficult for General Ju Yi to resist the 100,000 troops under Cao Ren's tent. Perhaps in the past two days, General Ju Yi's defeat and retreat report would be received by General Ju Yi." Guo Jia's words meant asking for help, and he also had the intention of pleading for Ju Yi. This is because, long before Guo Jia received Ju Yi's letter of request for help, he received Li Li's military order, ordering the 100,000 troops stationed in the Henei camp to prevent him from moving.

This military order means that Ju Yi's army, stranded in Jizhou, who restrained Cao Cao, could only fight alone, and no reinforcements would come to support him for the time being. Guo Jia even had another guess, perhaps the 70,000 troops under Ju Yi's tent had been abandoned and could not receive any rescue.
