In this imperial edict, in addition to the forty-two generals with the same rank as Siping Generals and above, there were also eighty generals with miscellaneous titles and one hundred and six generals with more than one hundred and six generals who were awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei.

As for generals below the general, the General's Office will reward them on their own, not within the imperial edict.

However, this is only one of the two edicts, just an edict to reward military generals, and another edict has not been read.

The next edict was the top priority and the beginning of the great reform of the Western Liang army.

After this edict, the order of General Li Li had planned for a long time.

This general order will inevitably cause an uproar in the Xiliang army, thereby completely changing the existing general system.

But now, this reward edict alone made everyone in the hall look at each other and look shocked, and many civil and military generals showed confusion on their faces. Although this was not the first time that many of the Xiliang generals had encountered such a large-scale bid for the general and the great rewards were far beyond their expectations. More than 220 generals in the hall all received generals and were all generals of the generals and above, and at least received the rewards of the famous marquis (that is, there were marquises but no fief). It was obvious that this was not done by the emperor Liu Xie, but the will of the lord Li Li.

But what is the purpose of such a large-scale reward?

In addition, careful people have keenly discovered that the imperial edicts did not mention substantial rewards such as gold, silver, silk, and beauties, nor did they involve the rewards of mansions, entourages, maids, etc., but they simply promoted their titles without material real rewards. This was completely different from the rewards of the generals of the entire army three years ago.

Three years ago, when Li Li entered Chang'an, there was also a large-scale reward for merit. At that time, there were also two or three hundred civil and military officials in Xiliang who were granted titles. Many civil and military officials and generals did not receive titles, but received very generous material rewards, with hundreds of thousands of gold, silver, silk, silk and satin. Each general received a mansion, plus dozens or hundreds of entourages and beautiful maids.

But this reward was not mentioned at all. However, the reward for the general was extremely powerful. The generals were more than ten generals with the rank of the Nine Ministers, and more than forty generals were awarded the title of Marquis of Ting, more than eighty generals were awarded the title of Marquis of Duting, and more than one hundred generals were awarded the title of Marquis of Duting.

In addition, it is striking that many generals have official titles from other princes in the world. For example: the official title of General Teng Xiao, Zhenbei. A year ago, he was still the position of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, and then Gongsun Zan was promoted to the former general. The court granted this position to Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong; and the reward of General Li Xian, Zhennan, was originally the official title of Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Last year, Liu Biao was promoted to General Nan, Li Li posthumously granted this position to Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou; and General Zhenxi was originally the official position of Han Sui in Jincheng. After Han Sui's death, this position was vacant, but now it was granted to Guo Si; and the most intriguing thing is that General Cheqi and Cavalry was originally the official position of Yuan Shao of Jizhou, but now it has been granted to Li Jue.

At the same time, among the Si'an and Siping Generals who were granted this time, most of the official ranks were the positions of generals under the tent of the princes such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Among the more than 100 miscellaneous generals granted this time, there are quite a few positions with the positions of generals under the tent of other princes. Almost most of them overlap.

Wouldn’t the world be in chaos with such rewards!

Therefore, looking at this large-scale imperial enthronement, it is like putting aside all the princes in the world, no longer taking into account the power of all the princes, nor taking into account the feelings and attitudes of the overlords of all the princes. The Xiliang Army is unique. This is the true sense of supporting troops and rebuilding the court order, resetting official ranks, and no longer being restrained by the power of the princes, and establishing the court. Without any external interference, it is truly a way to get rid of the burden and develop independently.

The deep meaning contained in this is self-evident. However, there are not many generals in the hall who can truly understand Li Li's true intentions. Only Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, Lu Su, Teng Xiao, Xu Rong and Zhou Yu, and only a dozen people know that they can understand the true intention of the lord Li Li from this imperial edict. But they will never say it out in public. They are tacit and look normal, but deep in their hearts are as violent as storms, either their hearts are surging, their blood is boiling, their blood is terrifying, or they are worried about gains and losses.

As early as when they joined the Xiliang Army, they knew that this day would come sooner or later, but to most people's expectations, they never expected that this day would come so early and so quickly that they were completely unprepared, and felt too sudden and caught off guard. Therefore, some of them felt too hasty and were afraid that it would be difficult to accomplish; and once the plan failed, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if they could not escape death, they would still suffer from his wife, children, family and many tribe members. Therefore, an unprecedented fear and confusion filled the minds of some people, causing them to worry about gains and losses, look forward to the front and back, be anxious, but at a loss.

However, they had already boarded the large ship of the Xiliang Army and put in great effort and effort for it. They were so powerful that they could not stop. So far, they had no other choice except to go to the black road. If they abandon Li Li and voted for other princes, it would be better to follow Li Li and continue to walk along.

At least, from the current situation in the world, Li Li and his Xiliang army are the most powerful vassal forces in the world. Because of this, instead of finding another way out, it is better to throw their arms around and follow Li Li to fight. Maybe they can really achieve fame and hegemony in the future.

It is precisely based on this mentality that after Li Ru read the edict to be appointed as a military general, no matter how violently the hearts of the people in the hall were churning, the expression on his face did not change much, and he still looked as usual and pretended to be calm. Li Ru, who had read the first edict, seemed to have intentionally left some time for the staff in the hall to think, and was not in a hurry to read the second edict, and took advantage of this gap to whisper with Li Li in the position of command.

Looking at Li Li, who was listening to Li Ru's whispering in a low voice, his expression was calm and a gentle smile was always on his face. On the surface, he was listening to Li Ru's words, but in fact his seemingly casual gaze was deliberately or unintentionally observing the changes in the expressions of civil and military under the hall. His keen eyes floated around casually, and he saw every corner of the hall, and every expression was secretly remembered by him.

Today's move seems a bit sudden, but it is inevitable. In fact, from the moment Li Li entered Chang'an, he was thinking about everything that might happen in the future, success or failure, or various results that were neither good nor bad. He had anticipated and prepared to accept these results. Therefore, he never relied on anyone. He always had his own independent and unique insights and goals, and would never be controlled by anyone, and things that obeyed him would not appear in him. Therefore, whether it was Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, or Lu Su, he would listen carefully whenever he had good planning strategies and then neutralize his views and formulate practical strategies and tactics.

Over time, there is no indispensable master and authoritative general under Li Li's command. There is only one real authority, that is himself. Therefore, even if he is as smart as Li Xuan and Li Ru, he is as smart as Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and his military use is as good as Zhou Yu and Xu Rong, his influence on the military and political affairs of Xiliang is extremely limited, and he will not cause a big loss; as long as Li Li gives orders, everything will change accordingly.

At the same time, Li Li held the principle of using people without doubting others without using them, and boldly letting go and delegating power. He provided them with a stage to display their talents, but always grasped the scale of retention. Once someone found that he was tilted or showed a trend of growing gradually, he immediately took the necessary measures to cut off this unfavorable momentum or signs in time.

The most typical example is that General Anbei Zhou Yu was so popular that he dared to release Sun Ce privately. So Li Li took action at the right time and took back the military power in one fell swoop, and used this to drive the strong Zhou Yu back to his original form and return to the normal track. This seems easy between releasing and reclaiming. In fact, the grasp of the scale of retracting is crucial. If there is a slight mistake, he will lose a trusted general, causing him to take risks or be discouraged.

If this happens when the world is unified, or if Li Li is old, then he will definitely get rid of Zhou Yu without hesitation and eliminate future troubles forever. But the world is now in chaos, and it is the time to use people. Li Li is still very young and has the ability to control the situation. Therefore, he will not make things difficult for Zhou Yu, but will adopt the strategy of holding up high and letting go gently. Taking the opportunity to weaken Zhou Yu's military power, he will also appease him so that Zhou Yu can still be used after great ups and downs. Only in this way can he truly conquer his heart and make him truly use it for me, and he dare not have the slightest desire to transgress.

This is a silent struggle between the main ministers, not only Zhou Yu, but also Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru and Guo Jia and others. After a period of hard work that can only be understood but not expressed, Li Xuan, who once had the power of military and political affairs, completely broke away from the army and devoted himself to government affairs. Military advisor Jia Xu had the opportunity to control military power, but was sent to Yongzhou as the governor, which was actually promoted and surrendered in secret. Li Ru was in charge of palace affairs, and every time he raised his tail, he was beaten by Li Li, so that the internal affairs of the palace are divided into three parts today, and Li Jue and Li Xuan were in charge of the court.

Another thing is the Battle of Sili led by Guo Jia. He completed the entire strategic plan independently. However, after the war really started, Li Li added many new strategies to it, which completely changed the entire strategy and tactics. For this reason, Guo Jia was once quite depressed, but he dared not speak out.

However, after the war, the strategy Li Li added to it eventually played a decisive role. He planned to persuade Zhang Yan, Black Mountain to turn against each other, became the key to the victory of the entire battle and laid the victory in one fell swoop. Afterwards, Guo Jia was convinced and finally realized that he was fighting against many wise men in the Allied forces alone. If he could not win by surprise, the final result would be that both sides would suffer, and there would definitely be no such great victory. Since then, Guo Jia became humble, no longer as unrestrained as before, and his personality was flaunting, and he seemed more mature and steady.

These unknown secrets are beyond the parties involved, and they cannot even see any clues. Many people would not have thought that Li Li had a unique skill to control the civil and military personnel under his command, making it effective for him to be under his command is just a good start, and truly impressing his heart is the most critical step.

This is due to human nature. No one is born to be willing to surrender to others. Only those who truly impress their hearts can become superiors with strong control.
