After seeing Li Li nodding firmly, Li Jie felt inexplicably relieved and felt a little regretful.

No father does not love his son. The same is true for Li Jue.

Li Li is very outstanding. He is extremely wise at a young age, acts calmly and has a far-sighted approach.

But he is not his own son after all.

Li Jue often said that his wife Yang loved his son Li Shi. In fact, this is an excuse, but in fact he is indeed spoiling his own son Li Shi more.

Recently, Li Li has become more and more calm and sophisticated, extremely wise, and even secretly expands his troops.

All of this can't be hidden from Li Jue's eyes and ears, but he pretended to be ignorant.

Because of this, Li Jue suffered a lot late at night and was hesitant.

On one hand, there are young sons and more outstanding nephews, all of whom are their own relatives and juniors, but there is only one of the Li family, and the head of the family can only be one of them.

While hesitating, Li Jue knew that he had to make a decision on this matter early; otherwise, once he returned to Chang'an and had Yang involved in it, the conflict might intensify and turn against each other.

So, while Li Li was further recognized by the generals, Li Jie planned his last test, with the purpose of seeing how Li Li made a decision.

If he is willing to set up his own business, he will help him rebuild his home as much as possible; if he covets the position of the head of the Li family, that is, the property of the Li family, then the relationship between uncle and nephew will end here. The help he can give him is limited to the position of three thousand cavalry of the Longxiang Camp and a military captain. In addition, he will not provide any help, so as not to be greedy and covet more things that do not belong to him.

Fortunately, Li Li's final decision was wise and decisive.

It was decisively beyond Li Jue's expectations, and it could almost be considered as leaving the house with nothing and dying for itself.

At least in Li Jue's opinion, the three thousand Longxiang Camp and Li Fu and his son are really nothing. You must know that in the Li Mansion in Chang'an City, there are three thousand tribes and more than a thousand strong servants. These people are all elite soldiers who have lost their military status and are willing to enter the Li family as servants' troops.

In addition, the Li family has accumulated a lot of money over the years. Although they dare not say that they are rich enough to compete with the country, they are enough to provide ten thousand soldiers and ten years of food and salary.

However, Li Li voluntarily gave up all this, and the Li Parent's Room and the second house represented by Li Jue were divided into two parts.

Since then, Li Jue represents the direct line of the Li family, while Li Li and Li Xian brothers became side branches and wanted to leave the Li family and establish their own business.

This is the cruel fate of the family's children. Although the Li family is far from comparable to those of the century-old prominent families, it is also a newly rising newcomer. There are also differences among family children, and they will not easily hand over the orthodox status of the family to their nephews and relatives.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was a dynasty where the Chinese family power rose, and this determined the dynasty changes over the next hundreds of years. It was also a typical example of family development that dignitaries and nobles competed to imitate in the thousand-year history of later generations.

The next day, the battle of Chenliu's siege continued.

After the defeat in the initial battle, the Xiliang army changed its siege strategy and adopted the catapult car proposed by Li Li to strike for a long-range attack, instead of sending a large number of infantrymen to forcibly siege the city.

At present, the range of the catapult car is limited, far less powerful than the attack power of the thunder carriage in the Cao Wei period, and can only throw more than a hundred steps.

During the attack, a large number of giant shield soldiers were required to cover the stone-caught soldiers to avoid being shot and killed by crossbowmen on the top of the city.

After changing the siege tactics, the 50,000 Xiliang Army had sufficient troops, and a large number of soldiers could be drawn to cut down trees vigorously, and a large number of ladders and simple giant wood rushing cars were created.

Although the rushing car is also called a "car", it is actually driven by a war horse and has no decent wheels; only two pieces of logs serve as the wheel rims of the chariot. On the car is equipped with a pointed log several meters long and thick wooden barrels. It hits the city gate under the running and pull of the war horse.

These siege armies are very bulky and simple, and they are not troublesome to make. They do not have much technical content and are simple and easy to learn. Ordinary soldiers can do it by reading it once.

For three consecutive days, the Xiliang soldiers used simple stone casting cars to attack the city, stones, oil tanks, caltrops, etc. every day. After throwing them away, they withdrew their troops back to the camp.

It was straightforward and straightforward, and Zhang Miao was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

It doesn't matter if the Xiliang soldiers were thrown away like this, but it made the defenders on the city busy and miserable.

After three days, the Xiliang soldiers suffered little casualties, but they were quite lethal to the soldiers guarding Chenliu City.

At least 3,000 Chenliu soldiers were injured, all of whom were injured by flying stones or caltrops. Thousands of them were seriously injured and died of pain.

After fighting with the Xiliang soldiers for four days, nearly 5,000 soldiers defending the city were lost, causing nearly half of the troops in Zhang Miao's hands to lose, causing heavy losses.

Moreover, morale is sluggish and there is a slump.

In addition, the battlements and walls on the top of the city wall were seriously damaged, and the city wall was in a mess. There were ruins after the fire, and there were ruins everywhere, gravel and caltrops everywhere. It was difficult to pass normally. If you were not careful, the gravel would be damaged.

The method of siege proposed by Li Li seems to be ineffective at first glance, but it is extremely insidious. Although it has not broken through the city, its lethality is amazing.

Most Chen Liu soldiers were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, but did not die immediately. As a result, thousands of injured soldiers needed to divide some of the troops from Zhang Miao to take care of them. The troops became increasingly stretched, and the pressure to defend the city increased sharply.

At the same time, Li Li has been so busy that he has been dizzy and keeps working hard.

As the supervisor of the 50,000 army, especially in the Xiliang army with extremely poor military disciplines, the position of supervisor is not an easy job.

Many things must be prepared step by step without any matter. First, we must form a strong and upright law enforcement team with more than 100 people, responsible for inspecting the military disciplines of each battalion and arresting illegal people.

Secondly, we must sort out practical military discipline regulations, inform all soldiers of the army, and strictly enforce military discipline and military regulations.

Finally, we must enforce the law strictly, treat everyone equally, be fair and strict, not be afraid of offending others, and not be favored.

Especially the last one is the most important thing. If you cannot be fair and strict, and enforce the law strictly, then Li Li would rather not be a military supervisor who is just a false reputation.

Military discipline is not only to restrain soldiers from violating military rules and not to commit evil at will, but also to establish prestige and establish prestige in the hearts of the soldiers of the entire army.

This is what Li Li values ​​most. Otherwise, why would he take over this job that is thankless and offensive?

It is very simple to form a law enforcement team. Li Li directly selected twenty brave and powerful men from the generals' tents, and then picked out twenty teams from his own soldiers. Yu Bocai served as the captain. A law enforcement team with a total of 200 people was established.

It is not difficult to sort out military rules. The Xiliang Army originally had written military rules, but they have always been superficial and have not been implemented.

After Li Li took over the rectification of military discipline, he did not change the original military rules. He directly reiterated the rules and informed the entire army of soldiers to know. He immediately ordered the law enforcement team to inspect the battalions day and night and severely punished the soldiers who violated the military rules.

After three days, more than a hundred women from the village who went out to the camp privately and soldiers who robbed the people's money were ordered by Li Li to behead in public at the entrance of the camp, hung their heads on both sides of the village gate, and displayed for three days.

Under the bright sun, the blood-stained heads swayed in front of tens of thousands of soldiers every day. When entering and exiting the camp, you can see them when you look up.

For a moment, the cruel name of the military supervisor Li Li was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the soldiers. Many soldiers still had hundreds of dry and rotten heads in their minds while sleeping soundly late at night. They woke up in the middle of the night and were sweating profusely.

Then, Li Li became known as "Cold Hell".

Although this name sounds majestic, it is actually a kind of resentment hidden in the hearts of the soldiers of the army's unhappiness with his cruel and cruel massacre of his colleagues.

No matter how the soldiers resent Li Li in their hearts, they were dissatisfied with his cruel methods.

However, under Li Li's harsh punishment, the effect of rectifying military discipline was immediate and effective.
