【Chapter 231】 Others look at the stars, I only look at the moon

As dusk falls, night slowly opens.

Longxiang Li's Mansion.

In the main hall, except for Bo Cai who came to Chang'an in Wuwei army, the other generals gathered together except for Bo Cai who was ordered to stay in Dongyang Valley.

In the main seat, Li Li has not come back yet and is temporarily vacant.

On the left rear of the main seat, Li Zhi stood quietly on the side wearing armor; a seat was temporarily added to the right, which was specially added for Dian Wuxia. There was an empty seat below behind her, which was the position where Tietuo, the deputy commander of the Jinqi Guard, stood.

On the left side of the lobby, Li Xuan sat upright, and under his head, the military advisor Jia Xu, who came from Dongyang Valley. At this time, the two were whispering about the current situation in Chang'an. At the bottom of Jia Xu, there were Yinzhe, Tiezhe, Ma Chao, Tiexiao and other generals.

On the right, Dian Wei sat in the first position, and the lower heads were Huan Fei, Teng Yu, Pang De, Hu Cheer, Huan Yi, Huan Quan and other generals. In addition, Pang De's lower head seat was vacant, which was the position left for the Taurus.

At this moment, all the generals in the lobby had sat left and right, and Dian Wuxia sat high in the hall wearing silver armor, which was particularly conspicuous. The commander Li Li, Tarus and Tietu had not returned to the house yet, so everyone whispered and secretly discussed in private. The central topic was the battle between the Wuwei Army and the Wolf Cavalry Camp under Lu Bu during the day.

"Dang thump!"

"The lord is back!"

When the generals heard the sound of horse trampling outside the mansion, the generals were shocked and stood up and stood on both sides to welcome the lord Li Li back to the mansion.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Li walked into the lobby with a long and stunning stance, and the two generals Tarus and Tietu who were following him quickly returned to their positions. After Li Li sat down in the main position, the generals gathered in the center of the lobby and bowed together, with a great momentum.

"The last general (under) and others pay homage to the lord!"

Li Lihu swept across the generals with deep eyes, nodded slightly, and said softly: "No need to be polite, let you wait for a long time, get up and take your seat!"

After watching the generals sit down, Li Li asked Li Xuan with concern: "How is Yuanzhong. Jin Gu's leg injury? Isn't it dangerous to be in danger?"

"Reported to the lord, the deputy commander of Jingu was seriously injured on his left leg. Fortunately, the lord bandaged him in time and had no worries about his life. However, he needs to rest for at least three months to recover. After he recovered, his left leg was broken. It is not advisable to follow the army to go on an expedition." Li Xuan responded in a deep voice.

Li Li nodded slightly with a heavy expression and said, "As long as the person is fine, Jingu is brave and loyal and righteous. Today, he killed Song Xian in front of the two armies and severely injured Hou Cheng, and then sacrificed his life to seriously injure Lu Bu. Although he was defeated, he still honored, and deserved a heavy reward.

He obeyed the order and appointed Jin Gu as the garrison of Wushuang City. He was controlled by Zhangye garrison Teng Xiao, and his salary was equally commanded. He was rewarded with 300 taels of gold, 200 silk and 5 maids. In addition, after he recovered from his injuries, he would personally lead the marriage for him, and he could go to Wushuang City to take office after the marriage!"

"We and my brothers, on behalf of my brother, thank you for your gift!" In the hall, the brothers Yinqi and Tieqi stood up with gratitude and kneeled down and bowed.

Li Li waved his hand to signal the two to get up and said loudly: "This is the reward that Jin Gu deserves. Although his left leg is broken, he is a general on the horse's back. After he recovers from his injury, he can still ride on his horse. His majesty is still there. Let him guard the Wushuang horse farm for the time being, so that he can take this opportunity to get married and start a career. When he gets used to it for a while, he will then follow the army to fight against the Central Plains!"

"Thank you lord!" The two brothers Yin and Tie Hu bowed again, and then returned to their seats.

"Where is Ma Chao?" Li Li said in a deep voice with a solemn expression.

Ma Chao responded and bowed and said, "Please make an announcement."

Li Li nodded slightly and said, "Well. Please inform the generals of today's war situation and post-war affairs."

"No!" Ma Chao responded respectfully. He then roughly described the battle between the two armies, and then said: "According to post-war statistics, our army suffered more than 3,400 casualties, of which more than 2,600 were killed, more than 800 soldiers were injured, and more than 300 seriously injured and disabled. The specific deaths were: 1,835 people died in the Jinqi Guards and 782 people died in the Tiger Roar Camp.

The war damage of the Wolf Cavalry under Lu Bu was: more than 2,300 people were killed, about 1,300 soldiers were injured, and a total of more than 3,600 casualties were killed. Among them, more than 600 heavy-armored cavalry were killed, and more than 1,700 light cavalry were killed.

At the end of this, we will emphasize that the reason why our army was able to tie the battle with the Wolf Cavalry Camp was because the lord ordered five hundred archers to shoot and kill more than 300 Wolf Cavalry soldiers in one fell swoop during the truce. Otherwise, the death of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry Army would be much lower than that of our army.

After the war, our army cleaned the battlefield and seized more than 300 heavy armor sets. The remaining more than 300 sets were in ruins and needed to be repaired before they could be reused. More than 1,000 war horses and several weapons were seized. All the seized and injured soldiers have been transferred to Dongyang Valley, and the commander of Bocai took over the place. At present, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Tiger Fighting Camp and Jinqi Wei were re-camped in Xicheng, only five miles away from Longxiang Li Mansion.

The lord, the lord, the military advisor and the commander of the position, this is the situation in this battle.”

After Ma Chao finished his talk, Li Li nodded and signaled him to return to his seat.

Then Li Li said in a deep voice: "What do you think after hearing the whole story of this battle? Wenhe, do you know the advantages and disadvantages of our army and the Xiliang army under the prime minister. Let me tell you, whether our army wins or loses in this battle, where is the victory and where is the defeat?"

"This??????" Jia Xu was slightly stunned. Seeing the generals focusing their eyes on him, he felt embarrassed.

"It's okay for Wenhe to speak frankly. Our Wuwei Army was first established and has only been a year since its establishment. Since the war, there have been more than one year of victory and fewer losses. Most of the people in the army are a little arrogant and arrogant. This battle has sounded a wake-up call for us. In today's battle, our two battalions of troops have a total of more than 10,000 iron cavalry to surround and kill 6,000 wolf cavalry, and they have actually fought like this. There are many things worth our thinking about here. Please speak frankly!" Li Li said calmly.

"Subordinate receives the order." Jia Xu was happy to accept the order. He didn't know how to answer just now. If he was not careful, he would offend many generals sitting there. Now that Li Li has expressed his attitude, he has a clear idea.

After a pause in his tone, Jia Xu said, "There is no doubt that our army won this battle, and Lu Bu's army was defeated. Our army was brave in the generals, killed in front of the formation, and injured many generals of Lu Bu's army, which greatly boosted the morale of the entire army and criticized the arrogance of Lu Bu's army. However, our army won this time, and it was also a narrow victory, and it could even be said to be a miserable victory. If the lord had not ordered the killing and injury of the enemy soldiers at the last moment, it would be difficult for our army to win this battle. At most, it would be a match for Lu Bu's army, and both sides would be injured.

The reason for this was a crushing defeat was because the number of soldiers in our army was still above Lu Bu's army, and they were only slightly better than them overall, that's all.

As far as I know, Dong Xiangguo has two most elite iron cavalry under his command, one is the Feixiong Camp led by General Dong Yue, and the other is the Hu Ben Camp. There was an elite iron cavalry before, that is, the Longxiang Camp under the lord. However, compared with the first two iron cavalry, the Longxiang Camp is hugely different in terms of number and equipment, so it cannot be compared with these two elite iron cavalry.

The Feixiong Camp consists of 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry and 5,000 light cavalry, which is the personal guard of the Prime Minister of Dong, stationed in the Taishi Mansion and Meiwu, and is controlled by the two generals Dong Yue and Dong Min respectively. The Huben Camp is actually the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu, because Lu Bu had previously served as the General of the Huben Central Army. However, there are only 5,000 iron cavalry in the hands of Lu Bu. There are nearly 8,000 iron cavalry in the hands of generals Li Jue and Guo Si. In addition, Lu Bu seemed not to value the Huben Camp, but secretly replaced the armor of the soldiers of the Huben Camp to the wolf cavalry under his command.

Therefore, a large part of the reason why our army fought so fiercely in this battle was that the armor and weapons of our soldiers were not as good as those of the Wolf Cavalry. In addition, our soldiers cooperated with each other to kill the enemy in the battle formation, otherwise our army would not have killed so many soldiers in the battle. Although the number of soldiers in the Wolf Cavalry was above our army, they died fewer soldiers than us. This is why their fighting skills were stronger than our army."

Jia Xu talked freely, which sounded very reasonable, but Li Li knew that Jia Xu was avoiding the important things and did not want to offend the generals in the army. However, Jia Xu also pointed out the key to this battle. Li Li didn't want to say much about this. He didn't need to hammer the drum. Just click it and stop it.

"Who else has any opinions on this battle, but it doesn't matter." Li Li said in a deep voice.

Before he finished speaking, Huan Fei stood up and said, "My lord, there is something unknown to me. Why did our army fight against Lu Bu's army to the death? If it was just a battle of will, I thought our army should not respond. Please make it clear."

Huan Fei's words were aroused by a single stone, and he asked the voices of many generals in the hall.

In fact, they couldn't understand why the lord had to fight so fiercely with the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu. Could it be as rumored in the market? The lord and Lu Bu fought for Diao Chan?

For a moment, the lobby was silent, and Li Li, who was sitting high in the main seat, had a deep face as deep as water, and there seemed to be anger between his eyebrows.

A moment later, Li Li said quietly with a solemn face: "Just a while ago, Zhang Ji brought his nephew and his family generals to the door for a fight, but he actually dared to ask the general for a maid, claiming to marry him as a concubine. What was Zhang Ji's thing? He was just a lieutenant, with only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but he dared to be so presumptuous.

Why doesn't he take this general seriously?

So the general humiliated their uncle and nephew severely and drove them out. Unexpectedly, less than two days after Zhang Ji left, Lu Bu came to provoke him again.

Lu Bu was extremely brave and famous all over the world. He was known as the invincible god general. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had a fierce fighting power, and was powerful in the eastern capital Luoyang, which shocked the army of princes in the world. In the battle of Xingyang, the Wolf Cavalry Army was even more scared to death by Cao Mengde and fled in panic.

Compared with Lu Bu and the Wolf Cavalry Army, what is the Wuwei Army led by our generals and Ers? How can we compare it to each other?

Originally, our Wuwei Army and Lu Bu Army did not violate the rivers and waters, and were thousands of miles apart, and they would never interact with each other. However, don’t forget that we are now in the same city as Lu Bu Army, and we are also the Western Liang Army under the command of Xiangguo of Dong!

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If I want to establish my reputation among hundreds of thousands of Xiliang army and intimidate many generals in the army, I must show everyone the strength of our Wuwei army.

Our Wuwei Army wants to show its military power, who should we choose as our opponent? I don’t know who we will choose, but when others look at the stars at night, I have always only looked at the moon. When eating meat, I only choose the largest meat bones!

If the Wuwei Army wants to gain a foothold in the Xiliang army, occupy a place, or even stand on their heads, then they have to defeat Lu Bu!”

Speaking of this, Li Li paused and looked around the generals in the hall, and continued: "There are rumors that I, Li Li, competed with Diao Chan for Diao Chan? It's such a big joke. Who dares to fight for me, Li Li's woman? Just Lu Bu, others are afraid of him, but Li never takes him seriously. Just because he is worthy of competing with me for women?

In the battle on the Bashui River, I want to let the generals in the Xiliang army open their eyes and see clearly. The Wuwei army under my command, Li Li, is invincible and the military power cannot be violated! In addition, I also want everyone in the world to know that I, Li Wenchang, are not chicks and seedlings hiding under the wings of my uncle Li Jue, but are eagles soaring in the sky and a big tree that soars straight into the sky!

Therefore, even if we were defeated in the Battle of Bashui, we would never retreat. What was the result? We won, even if it was a terrible victory, but we defeated Lu Bu and his wolf cavalry. There is no doubt about this!

After this battle, who in the entire Xiliang army dared to provoke my Wuwei army, and who dared to disrespect me Li Li? No more, not only now, but not in the future!

This is why I insist on fighting the Lu Bu army to the death. If the Wuwei army wants to become famous, they have to find a hard bone to prove their strength, break it, and smash it. Become famous in one battle, shock the princes in the world, and let the names of Wuwei army and I, Li Li, spread all over the world!"
