Ding Ding Dong——

In the camp at Shuofengkou, the melodious sound of piano came from the commander's tent, which drifted inside and outside the camp with the wind, causing thousands of soldiers stationed in the camp to listen in a slanting manner.

The soldiers have gradually gotten used to the leisurely days like this, and have been like this in the past half month.

Since defeating the barbarian army half a month ago, the army has rested here for two days, and the army set out on the morning of the third day.

The army that went to the grassland was Zhou Yu as the main general, Dian Wei as the deputy general, Lu Su as the chief clerk of the army and the leader of the army. Zhang Liao continued to serve as the vanguard of the front army, Xu Chu as the deputy vanguard, leading the Jin Qiwei to take the lead in the destruction. Zhou Yu led the Huben Camp in the central army and followed, and the rear army from Chen Dao led 20,000 county government troops to escort food, grass and supplies. The army of expeditions this time had a total of 60,000 infantry and cavalry, and advanced to the southern Huns grassland.

After the army set out, Li Li stayed at Shuofengkou Daying and stopped moving forward, while the soldiers stationed at Daying were more than 3,000 soldiers from the northern county government, and there were 2,000 soldiers from the Huben camp guarding the pass. There was no worries about Shuofengkou, so there was no need to worry about the barbarian army's sneak attack. Five thousand defenders alone were enough to defend the pass.

Therefore, within the next ten days, there were musical strings in the camp every day, and the melodious tunes were very pleasant. Even the rude soldiers in the camp who did not understand the rhythm were also very interesting and were intoxicated by shaking their heads.

The person who plays the piano in the tent is Li Li's favorite wife, Dian Wuxia. The song is a new song composed by Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao - the song of the Fortress. Its origin is naturally from Li Li. This is one of the fifteen new songs played by Li Li on the Yangtze River. It was made into a song by Er Qiao. Within five days of staying in Hanyang County, Li Li's many wives and concubines almost learned several new songs. Dian Wuxia's favorite song is the song of the Fortress played at this moment.

In the big tent, Dian Wuxia's slender fingers tweaked the strings of the piano. Ma Yunluo, wearing colorful clothes and colorful clothes, danced spiritually, Li Li lying on his side behind the Shang's desk, drinking and enjoying the dance, leisurely and joyful.

"Dongdong---" As the last tune fell, the sound of the piano slowly stopped. The echoes lingered around the beams, making people savored.

Then Dian Wuxia stood up gently and sat next to Li Li with Ma Yunluo, rubbing her shoulders with her slender fingers and punching her legs. She served Li Li very comfortable. She closed her eyes and pretended to be drowsy.

"Husband, it has been half a month since the army went on the battle. Three consecutive war reports have been sent back. The situation of our army is worrying!" Dian Wuxia gently kneaded Li Li's shoulders, and said softly in a worried tone.

After hearing the sound, Li Li still closed his eyes and pillowed on Dian Wuxia's soft knee bend, with a calm expression on his face without any resentment.

Seeing this, Dian Wuxia nodded slightly and signaled to Ma Yunluo to help him. Understand the understanding, Ma Yunluo nodded gently and said softly: "Husband. In the evening before yesterday, you said that Sili had heard from the news that the princes in the Central Plains were secretly mobilizing their troops and making bad plans, and there seemed to be signs of advancing Sili. Now our army has been attacking the barbarian army for more than 20 days. In addition to the first victory, the army has not made any achievements in the last half month, but has failed one after another. Such a situation of victory first and then defeating is extremely unfavorable to the morale of the army and greatly weakens the morale. If it is delayed, it is probably unstable for the army to recover. If it is delayed, it is difficult to save the defeat. If this is true, I am afraid that the barbarian army will make a comeback and attack our Beidi County again. By then, our army will be in a worrying situation, and the passes that were previously recovered may be lost again. Repeat the previous mistakes of the barbarian army. Please think twice!"

As Ma Yunluo finished speaking, Li Li's closed eyes suddenly opened, staring at her with deep eyes, with a smile on her face.

"Husband, is there anything wrong with what I say? Why are you looking at me like this?" Ma Yunluo's charming face changed slightly, looking down at her clothes, and not finding anything wrong. She immediately realized that she might have been speechless, which made her husband Li Li unhappy, so he stared at her without blinking.

Li Li smiled and shook his head, sat up slowly, and took Ma Yunluo and Dian Wuxia into his arms. His hands rubbed their delicate bodies, and gently stroked the soft skin on their slender waists through the brocade clothes.

Then he turned his head and looked at Ma Yunluo's fair cheeks with pretty face and whispered: "If you two say these words, you will definitely think that you two witches are confused by me, arrogant because of their favor, and take the opportunity to slander and interfere with the war ahead. Fortunately, I know that you are completely concerned about the unsuccessful war and are worried that our soldiers will suffer too much, and do not intend to question the ability of the generals in front of you. Otherwise, I will implement family law on you and punish you well. Hahaha!"

"My husband is so bad, how can you use family law every day like this?" At first glance, the word family law, Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo's two girls had pretty faces flushed, their eyes were as charming as silk, and their emotions were fascinated. The shameful scenes on the couch at night suddenly appeared in their minds.

For half a month, the couple had been sleeping together every night, going to bed early, but they went to bed until very late before they really fell asleep. Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo had similarities, that is, their bodies were strong and flexible, and their desires were strong. Once the war burned, they would be very long-lasting. Moreover, although they were dignified and quiet during the day and were generous and moderate, they were not like this at night. After closing the door, when they faced Li Li, they were extremely bold and open, without any evasion, and they dared to say anything, and could do any movements and postures, which tempted Li Li to be extremely excited and fought passionately until the three of them were exhausted.

The family law mentioned by Li Li sounds very strict and terrible, but it is not the case at all. In fact, the so-called family law is to make Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo take extremely shameful postures when they are in love, or to let Li Li like them and do some inhuman things, so that Li Li can do whatever he wants and indulge in love.

Not only did they experience this set of family law many times, but other sisters have also been punished one after another. Even the wife Li Xin, the wife of Li Li, was tortured to death by Li Li. She looked radiant and gorgeous after getting up the next day. Therefore, the sisters of Dian Wuxia were never afraid that Li Li would implement family law on them. Instead, they were extremely expectant. As long as they heard the words of family law, their pretty face would be blushing, and they could not control themselves, and their spring feelings were thrilling.

Fortunately, Li Li and his wife are both experienced by the old couple, so they don’t just do it and do that in broad daylight.

With a charming expression, Dian Wuxia snuggled in Li Li's arms, caressing the man's strong chest with a delicate jade finger, and said softly: "My sister Yunluo and I do not doubt our husband's vision of knowing people, nor do we doubt Zhou Yu's ability to command troops, nor do we doubt the courage and combat power of our soldiers in the battlefield. We are just worried that this war will last for a long time. Not to mention that it will consume a lot of food and weapons, and a series of defeats alone will be enough to wipe out the high morale of our army and thus shake the morale of the army. If this situation is not curbed in time and continues to develop, even if our army can win in the end, it will inevitably be a tragic victory. The soldiers suffer too much casualties, which will affect the morale of the entire army. Therefore, I want to ask my husband to consider carefully, rush to the front line as soon as possible, and personally command the army to fight."

"I personally command the army to capture the barbarian tribe?" Li Li looked slightly surprised. Then he slapped the "qiotun" of Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo's two girls, pretending to be angry, and said angrily: "You two prodigal women are really different from ordinary women. Other women do not want their men to go to the battlefield, for fear that the men will have an accident and become widows. You two are good. You urge me to go to the front line to fight every day. Wouldn't it be good for me to accompany you every day?"

"Gee!" Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo, whose plump butt were attacked, looked at each other and smiled, their cheeks blushed, but they were not frightened or dodged. Instead, they pressed Li Li's hands, which had always been restless, and their delicate body twisted gently, which stimulated Li Li's breathing. His fingers moved greatly, and subconsciously kneaded the plump and softness in his palms.

Then Ma Yunluo smiled and said, "Husband is wrongly blamed me and sister Wuxia. Over the years, my husband has been invincible in the battle, and has been invincible in the battle and has been invincible in the battle. This time, he vowed to the Northern Expedition, and the first victory, and then his husband lent his military power to Zhou Yu, and our army has no victory. In the past half a month, our army has fought with the barbarian army twice and was defeated. So the low-morning barbarian army regained their fighting spirit, becoming more and more brave in the battle, and it is very likely to make a comeback. It is based on the current situation that my sister and I decided to persuade my husband to go to the front line to command the war, so as to avoid the morale of the army being disintegrated. We were defeated again. This was also a forced move. It was not that I intended to urge my husband to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but that the situation forced me to do so. In addition, my sister and I accompanied my husband to fight together. No matter what dangers we encounter, we sisters will never abandon our husband."

"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed happily, hugged Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, you two don't have to take it seriously. I was just teasing you!"

After a moment of speech, Li Li smiled and said seriously: "In fact, people report to me every day on the front line war. I have never slacked off for a moment and always pay attention to the situation on the front line. Although you two are all evasive, you two still don't believe in Zhou Yu's ability to command troops and fight. They want me to replace him and lead the troops to attack the barbarian army in person."

While speaking, Li Li shook his head and signaled that the two girls did not need to explain, and continued, "There is no natural handsome talent in this world. No one is born to fight, and no one will never fail in every battle. Just like Li Li, I have fought many battles and claimed to be invincible in every battle. In fact, I have also lost battles, and I was defeated when I first emerged and almost couldn't recover.

Three years ago, in the Battle of Maple Leaf Canyon, I had only more than 6,000 troops and all of them were pieced together. I was preparing to go to Wuwei County to take office, but was led by Yunluo's brother Ma Chao to attack the camp at night. Ma Chao was defeated in that battle, and Pegasus lost tens of thousands of people, but I did not win, because most of my soldiers were killed or injured, and only two or three thousand remaining defeated soldiers were left. Because of this, I went to Wuwei County to take office, and only two or five were brought with me.

Hundreds of soldiers went to Guzang City. At that time, I was unsure. I didn’t know if I could gain a foothold in Wuwei County and whether I could successfully take over Wuwei County. However, I had no way out at that time, so I could only bite the bullet and try it even if I failed. Fortunately, I met a group of civil and military officials, including Li Xuan, Teng Xiao, Teng Yu and Meng Chong, and finally successfully killed Cheng Yin and Li Kan, and recruited the county soldiers. Finally, I had the strength to establish myself in Wuwei County."

Speaking of this, Li Li turned his head and kissed Ma Yunluo's forehead, then turned his head and kissed Dian Wuxia's cheek. Then he changed his tone and said with deep emotion: "I, Li Li, are like this. Although Zhou Gongjin is a genius, he also needs to experience some experience. It is reasonable to suffer some minor setbacks occasionally. After all, although Gongjin had experience in leading troops to fight in battles before, he had very few soldiers and horses. At most, he led more than 10,000 troops to attack cities and villages. This is the first time in a battle like this that led tens of thousands of troops to fight alone. Therefore, we should give him support, rather than issue military orders without authorization and order him to do so. At this time, we cannot put pressure on him, do not doubt his ability to command troops. We cannot easily change the commander and replace him.

Besides, the battle situation on the front line of our army is not as bad as you two imagined. Although they were defeated for two consecutive times, they were defeated but not chaotic, and they did not lose many soldiers and horses. No general was killed. Therefore, I would not go to the front line in person, nor would I give any orders. It was the sentence I said before that everything in front of the war was decided by Gongjin. You can make a decision on your own without asking for instructions in everything."

"My husband trusts Zhou Yu so much. Are you not afraid that he will lose his troops and generals again and implicate our soldiers?" Dian Wuxia asked worriedly.

Li Li nodded slightly and said, "Wuxia didn't know Zhou Yu very well, so he was inevitably biased and misjudged. A few years ago, Gongjin followed Sun Jian's son Sun Ce to fight and relied on thousands of troops to capture more than ten cities. Sun Ce was able to live temporarily. Unfortunately, Sun Ce was not good at managing and was too tough to gain a foothold in the end. He had to lead his troops to live in Xuzhou, but because he expanded his troops and made friends with the gentry of Xuzhou without authorization, he was suspicious of Tao Qian. He had to lead his troops to join Yuan Shu.

I have heard of Gongjin’s great talent for a long time, and Zijing introduced him from it, and tried his best to persuade him before he was brought under his command. This time, he was appointed as the chief general and led his army to the expedition. One was to give him a chance to prove himself, and the other was to test his ability. If he could live up to his expectations and defeat the Southern Xiongnu in one fell swoop, then I would let him stand alone, give him more and more power and troops, and continue to use him. If he could not win, or if he could not conquer the Southern Xiongnu within three months and march into Bingzhou, it means that he still needed further training and did not have the ability of a general. If so, he would stay in the Jinqiwei and continue to train for two years, and wait until he would give him important tasks in the future."

Ma Yunluo said in surprise: "So, my husband will value Zhou Yu no matter what, and I firmly believe that he must be a general. What kind of ability does he have to be worthy of his husband's attention?"

"This,,, is really hard to explain in one sentence." Li Li was slightly stunned and hesitated, and said, "Let me tell you this. Zhou Yu's talent is not inferior to me by his ability to lead troops to fight. What he lacks at the moment is that he had no experience in a war before and lacks experience in a war. But I always believe that Zhou Yu is a handsome talent, and his talent in leading troops to fight is undoubtedly high. Sooner or later, he will shine and make a big splash!"

"Since this is the case, I will not say much. I hope Zhou Gongjin will live up to his husband's high expectations and return in triumphant!" Seeing that his man praised and trusted Zhou Yu so much, Dian Wuxia nodded slightly and no longer persuaded Li Li to go to the front line to command the battle.

Ma Yunluo is the same. As long as it is decided by her own man, she will definitely support it unconditionally and will never sing a counter-topic. The reason why she raised the question just now was because she and Dian Wuxia were deeply uneasy about the recent war report. Zhou Yu's army has been defeated for two consecutive battles. Many intermediate generals in the army jointly requested a change of commanders, hoping that Li Li could personally command the army to regain the defeat.

In addition, Zhou Yu was a general who recently joined the Western Liang Army. He had too little experience. He was entrusted with an important task less than a month after he arrived in the Western Liang Army. He commanded 60,000 troops to pursue the Fuluo Army and recover the territory of the Southern Xiongnu. This made Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo feel suspicious, and he was worried that his husband would trust Zhou Yu too much and be eager to use people. If the army was defeated and returned, the result would be unimaginable. The barbarian army would invade Beidi County again. Furthermore, the situation in the Central Plains was dark and unclear, and all the princes were ready to move and could invade Sili at any time. Once Sili encountered a drastic change, the Xiliang Army would be attacked from both sides, which was worrying.

In view of this, after private discussion between Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo, they decided to persuade Li Li to change the commander and go to the front line to preside over the war. But now it seems that the advice is ineffective, and Li Li is determined and will not change his original intention. He still insists on appointing Zhou Yu as the commander and takes charge of the army to fight against the barbarian army.

As Li Li's woman, Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo know very well about their men's temper and style of work. Once he decides what he decides, it will definitely be implemented. Even if he is wrong, he will have to wait until the dust is settled. However, so far, Li Li has not made any decision-making mistakes, and there has not been a situation like the successive defeats of this Northern Expedition.

"Lord, join the army to seek a meeting outside the tent of the law." Just as Li Li and his wife were silent, Li Zhi suddenly flashed into the tent and reported respectfully.

"Oh? Fa Xiaozhi is here, please invite him in!" Li Li was a little surprised and waved his hand and said.

When the two girls Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo, who were nestled in his arms, heard the Fa Zheng coming from Chiyang City, they immediately left Li Li's arms reluctantly, stood up and walked into the back hall slowly. Since they no longer held military positions, they rarely appeared in front of outsiders, no longer participated in military and political discussions, and adhered to the duty of women not to interfere in politics.

"I am paying homage to you!" Dian Wuxia and Ma Yunluo left, and Fa Zheng's slightly thin tall and thin figure walked into the tent, and then bowed and bowed.

"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled and stood up and walked to Fazheng, reached out to help him up, and smiled and said, "Xiaozhi is much thinner than two years ago, but his body is much taller. Thank you for your hard work."

The reason why Li Li said this is because when he sent Fa Zheng to Beidi County for training, he was only seventeen years old, which was a great age to grow up. After more than two years, Fa Zheng has now reached the crown and has become a real man.

"Thank you for your concern." After two years of separation, Fa Zheng looked quite excited when he saw Li Li again, but he was much calmer than two years ago. He was so excited that he did not forget his etiquette.

After following Li Li, Fa Zheng said respectfully: "When the lord led his army to Chiyang City, his subordinates were distributing food to the people in Gaoyang Town to provide relief to the people, so he failed to pay a visit to the lord in time. This time, all government affairs in the county were sorted out smoothly, and his subordinates immediately came to the camp to listen and wait for the lord to be dispatched at any time."
