General Wei’s Mansion.

In the east wing, Li Li gently pushed the door and came in, Li Zhi followed closely, holding some good herbs in his hand.

In the room, Dian Wei and more than ten generals surrounded the couch, comforting Duan Wei who was lying on the couch with kind words.

If the sixty military stick is taken down, it is enough to kill the second-rate general. If a weak scholar is killed, he will be even more dead.

Fortunately, Duan Wei was very skilled in martial arts and his physical fitness was far beyond the reach of a scholar. Even so, the sixty military staff fell down and the flesh was fuzzy.

"My lord is really angry this time. We have no result in our hard work. Fortunately, the Grand Sima pleads for mercy. Otherwise, Zhongming would be afraid of a lot of danger this time!" In front of the couch, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Guo Meng and other generals were all here, and the person who spoke was Yang Ding.

After hearing this, Dian Wei shook his head and said, "It's no wonder that the lord is incompetent in this matter. We are indeed incompetent and we are not good at preventing it. We have been exploited by the barbarian army, lost our soldiers and generals, lost our city and land, and caused trouble to tens of thousands of people. We deserve punishment! This time, the lord has already made a fuss and expressed his kindness outside the law. Otherwise, even if we are beheaded, it would be reasonable. Military law is ruthless!"

Li Meng, Wang Fang and others nodded when they heard the sound and said, "What General Dian Wei said is extremely true. If the lord does not remember the old love, I am afraid General Duan will not be able to survive this time, and the unintentional mistake will lead to a disaster!"

Hu Zhen said with great regret: "It's a pity that Zhongming has been fighting for more than ten years. He finally managed to get over the title of marquis. Now that he is lost, he has to start over again. It's a pity that why the Fuluo Barbarians invaded my border at this time is really unexpected and unexpected!"

As Li Li's childhood friend, Guo Meng naturally had to speak for Li Li at this time: "General Duan doesn't have to worry. The war is imminent and there are many wars in the world. There are many opportunities to make achievements in the future. It doesn't take three or five years. As long as one or two big battles are over, everything that General Duan loses will be brought back, even even more than that."

Duan Wei, who was lying on the couch, held him and screamed without pain when he was tortured. But at this moment, he couldn't help but cry in a low voice. The sixty military staff was really a stick and a knife flesh, which made his butt blossom, and his back was bleeding from his waist, which was so painful. At this moment, he felt very complicated, feeling both glad and regretful. He also had some indescribable emotions.

Duan Wei was mentally prepared for the matter of the General Administration this time, and even had the worst plan to die. However, he also did a lot of work in advance. He visited all the generals and civil officials who could speak, but talked about the old and chatted without mentioning the pleading. The most important people were the four people, including the Shangshu Ling Li Xuan, the Shizhong Li Ru, the military advisor Jia Xu and the Grand Marshal Li Jue, and other four, who were the focus of his visit.

For this reason, Duan Wei had arrived in Chang'an eight days ago, and the Qinglong camp leader Guo Si was also with him. When he learned that he had made a big mistake in Guo Si's tent that day, Duan Wei was completely disappointed and frightened, and suddenly felt that a disaster was coming. His life was not guaranteed. Afterwards, Guo Si tried every means to persuade him to admit his mistakes and apologize for the crime. Perhaps there was a turning point. After all, the generals in the army knew that the lord Li Li had always been kind and would not be punished easily by the generals who deliberately violated the order of the general.

Because of this, Duan Wei knew that he had made a big mistake and dared to come to Chang'an to collect the crime. In fact, he was sure that Li Li would not kill him. After suffering for seven or eight days, he finally waited for the General's Mansion to discuss matters. As a result, everything was just as Duan Wei thought, and in the end he saved his life, he was also punished unexpectedly.

According to his expected plan, he committed an unforgivable crime this time and was inevitably punished. However, he would not be dismissed from office, at most he would be fined some salary and demoted. But now, it is beyond his expectations. He was dismissed from office and sentenced to death. After he recovered from his injuries, he would be an insignificant infantryman. How could he bear it? If he had known that this would happen, he would rather die than start over like this now. However, this was just his idea of ​​surviving his life. Before that, he only wanted to save his life and give up everything else. However, this is how the human heart is, it is difficult to completely satisfy it. It is human instinct to gain a foothold.

Although Duan Wei felt very cowardly at this time, he did not have any hatred for his lord Li Li, but became more and more awe. The closer he followed Li Li, the more he knew about him, Duan Wei admired his lord Li Li.

In Duan Wei's opinion, Li Li's travel to the Central Plains seemed rash and reckless, but in fact it was a great act of wiseness and courage. If he was not a hero, he would definitely not dare to take risks in person. Moreover, Li Li chose the right time to travel, and when the situation in the Central Plains was about to be clear, and the princes from all walks of life were full of confidence, they would go to the Central Plains to travel. Once they missed this period, they would probably never have the opportunity to travel around the world. They could only conquer the prefectures and counties step by step, and perhaps they could see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and Jingyang Prefectures.

More importantly, Li Li's journey has gained a lot and solved the current situation of the shortage of food and grass in the Western Liang army in one fell swoop. He made great contributions and achieved fruitful results. It is truly incredible and admirable.

In addition, it was the dragon slaying incident. In fact, the generals in the army knew the whole story. However, after knowing, after seeing the dragon, the civil and military officials in Xiliang were respectful of Li Li from the bottom of their hearts. Many generals even respected Li Li like a god, and regarded him as a god. His prestige was as high as the sky, which was no different from a god in the minds of the soldiers of the Xiliang army.

Therefore, don’t say that Duan Wei is severely punished now. Even if Li Li beheaded him in the hall, no general in the army dares to resent Li Li, but instead becomes more and more awe, including Duan Wei himself.

"Thank you all the generals for coming to visit. Duan is very grateful." Duan Wei, who was lying on the couch and thinking secretly, heard the words of the generals in his ear, and thanked him in a low voice.

Then he continued: "Duan committed a serious crime this time, and the crime is unforgivable. The lord punished this way, which is indeed the most righteous and righteous, and the law is mercy. Now Duan is an infantryman. After making achievements in the future, he will drink wine with all the generals. As Major General Guo Meng said, now in a time of chaos, as long as Duan saves his life and fights bravely to the enemy in the future, why worry about not being able to achieve success? Therefore, you don't have to worry about leaving for me, let's leave for the time being, and let us talk about friendship again in the future. Please!"

Duan Wei is a very handsome man. He has always been taciturn, not good at speaking, and has a loner personality. He has few real friends in the Xiliang army. He has no close relationships with a group of old generals in Xiliang, and is only slightly better than ordinary friends. However, he is cautious in his work and will not offend people easily. Therefore, over the years, he has accumulated some connections.

Now that he has been dismissed from office, he suddenly feels that his status is very different from the generals in front of him. He feels ashamed to see others. Therefore, he has already expressed his words to thank the guests, wanting to simplify himself, sort out his thoughts, or lick his wounds alone, and talk about "ziweii".

After hearing this, the generals were a little stunned. Then they could understand Duan Wei's current mood, so they bowed and prepared to leave.

"Lord? The last general is waiting to meet the lord!" As soon as he turned around, the generals saw Li Li and Li Zhi standing at the door, as if they had been in for a long time.

"Hahaha! You don't have to be polite, just leave. I'm going to talk to Zhongming." Li Li walked to the couch with a smile, waved his hand to signal the generals to leave.

"I will be rude, please forgive me." On the couch, Duan Wei struggled to get up and bowed anxiously.

Li Li casually pressed Duan Wei, who was about to stay: "Zhongming is injured, so why should he be too polite? Lying down quickly to prevent the wound from bleeding again. The injury will be even worse."

Duan Wei lay on the couch and said in panic: "The criminal begs me to thank the lord for not killing me! This time, I was negligent and made a big mistake. Now I want to regret it. The lord is punished today, and I am convinced and I am self-inflicted, and I deserve the punishment."

Li Li nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Let the past go over. If there are merits, rewards, and if there are mistakes, punishes. This is the eternal and unchanging iron law in the army. No one can overcome it, otherwise I will be severely punished. Zhongming's faults have been punished, so this matter will be revealed, so don't mention it in the future. As long as Zhongming learns his lesson, he must not repeat the same mistakes in the future."

"Thank you for your forgiveness. I will remember your lord's teachings!" Duan Wei replied respectfully.

Li Li patted Duan Wei on the shoulder and comforted him: "To put it more carefully, Zhongming's mistake this time has something to do with me. He traveled to the Central Plains before, and Zhongming worked diligently to protect my safety along the way. After returning to Xiliang, I originally asked you to rest for half a month, but you did not rest for a moment and immediately returned to the military camp to guard the border. However, this time, when the Fuluo army attacked the pass, he happened to encounter Zhongming leaving the camp, and this would happen. Therefore, Zhongming's fault was unforgivable, but it was understandable.

The reason why I punished Zhongming severely today is because the war is imminent and military discipline must not be relaxed, otherwise it will be difficult to guarantee that such things will not happen again. Therefore, I can only aggrieved Zhongming and make you suffer. However, Zhongming has always been loyal, and I know these things in my mind. When Zhongming makes new achievements in the future, he will be rewarded together!"

"Master! I,,," Li Li's words made Duan Weihu's eyes burst into tears, and he choked and said nothing.

Li Li patted Duan Wei's back of his hand, focused his head, and said with concern: "Zhongming is safe to recover from his injuries. I will bring you some homemade medicine powder. I believe your injuries will recover soon. After he recovered from the injury, Zhongming was by my side temporarily as the chief of the personal army. After this battle, he will reward him according to his merits."

After saying that, Li Li slowly stood up and signaled Li Zhi to apply medicine to Duan Wei, and then left with a smile.

"Great send to the lord!" Duan Wei said respectfully when he saw Li Li turn around and leave.

After leaving the east wing, Li Li slowly walked to the backyard, thinking while walking calmly.

"This is what you said to give a sweet date with a slap, right?" As soon as he turned around and walked into the corridor, Dian Wuxia walked towards him and said with a chuckling to Li Li.

Li Li smiled knowingly and said, "How can we not control the army without military discipline? If you have merits, you will be rewarded and punished. Only in this way can we be convinced. Without rules, you will not be able to achieve a square order. Some things must be curbed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless disasters in the future."

Dian Wuxia walked to Li Li slowly, held his arm, and said softly with a charming voice: "Avoid the heavy and light, and talk about other things on the left and right. You are too cunning and never answer other people's questions in front. Husband, if you don't have your uncle's help to plead, do you really want to kill Duan Wei?"

"What do you think?" Li Li continued to ask back, and then laughed: "You, don't ask too much about this kind of thing in the future. How good is it to take care of the children and be a good wife and mother!"

Dian Wuxia chuckled charmingly and said softly: "I know you miss your children, but unfortunately the governor's mansion is hundreds of miles away. The children are too young to withstand long journeys, so our sisters left the children in Hanyang. After our husband goes to war, we will return immediately and take good care of your baby son. This is all right!"

"What's this? That's my son. Isn't it your son?" Li Li said in surprise.

Then he shook his head and smiled, "I won't be quarrel with you anymore. Actually, I know you rushed to Chang'an just to see me before I go to war. Why do I cherish this affection? We have been separated for more than half a year, and have caused you to suffer!"

When Dian Wuxia heard this, she was extremely shy and whispered: "Since you know, you must work hard these days. Last night, it was the eldest sister and the other three. I will give the quota to Junior Sister tonight, and my husband will take all the good things. Huh!"

"Trainer? Let's forget it." Li Li shook his head slightly, his expression slightly dim, as if he still had a shadow on the tragedy of the Bu Mansion.

"This,, okay, everything depends on your husband." Dian Wuxia hesitated and replied softly.

"Tell Xin'er, take good care of the trainer and don't let her suffer." After saying that, Li Li didn't say much and walked slowly into the backyard with Dian Wuxia.
