The first rain in summer took two days. The rain was not hot and the water flowed long, washing away the dust of the whole spring, washing away the blood in front of Lulongsai Pass, and putting on the Yanhuang land in a brand new summer outfit.

There is always a humane will above the heads of kind people. It favors the people, knows the warmth and warmth, and communicates with human feelings. Whenever countless soldiers are on the battlefield, they will always give clouds and rain to comfort the deceased spirits, soothe the devastation under the war, and benefit the people, so as to benefit the people.

The rain washed away the remaining blood in front of Lulongsai Pass, extinguished the smoke of the sky, and brought a brief tranquility and peace, which also delayed the Han army's pace of march out of the pass.

Originally, Li Li planned to lead troops out of the pass the next day to help Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun's troops who were pursuing the barbarian army last night, and to make plans. Unexpectedly, a sudden rain delayed the trip, forcing tens of thousands of troops to temporarily station in the pass to rest and remain in the pass. It rained at the fifth hour, and by the early morning the road was already muddy, seriously hindering the marching of the large brigade. It can be said that God's will keep people, but what can I do?

In the city guard's mansion, Li Li stood in front of the main hall and looked at the floating rain, thinking and silent. It was already afternoon, and the 30,000 cavalry led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun had been away for nearly two days, but the subsequent team of troops were blocked by the rain and had not moved. How could Li Li not worry?

The battlefield changes rapidly and without subsequent support, the 30,000 cavalry of Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun's troops would go deep alone, which was extremely dangerous. If they were ambushed by barbarians or besieged, they would never be able to get rescue for a while, and the result would be very good and bad. If this is true, the 30,000 cavalry would be in danger of being wiped out. Then the loss would be great.

In the battle of Lu Longsai, more than 40,000 infantry and cavalry under Li Li's command were killed in battle. If the 30,000 iron cavalry that went to pursue was added, it would be equivalent to the 80,000 army being wiped out. Such a large casualty was indeed too heavy for Li Li. Even if the Xiliang army had a great cause, it would not withstand such heavy casualties! Although he had spoken to Zhuge Liang very easily before, he seemed to have not taken the 80,000 army seriously at all. In fact, it was not the case at all. It was just to comfort Zhuge Liang and let him do it. Don't bear too much pressure. That's all.

Now, a rain comes unexpectedly, making the originally relatively clear war dark and unclear. It only adds many variables. It also makes Li Li, who was sure to win, unable to calm down. He is full of worries about the coming war. A heart that is already as solid as a rock is faintly uneasy, and it seems that something big will happen. And it is a very unfavorable thing to him.

This kind of inexplicable premonition of unknown dangers. Li Li hasn't felt this way for a long time. But now, it has appeared in his heart inexplicably, which makes him feel a little overwhelmed. He really can't figure out where there are any loopholes in the entire layout and how to make up for it. The more anxious I want to know where the loophole is, the more I can't remember it. This unspeakable anxiety made him suffer, and his heart always hangs in his throat. I feel uneasy.

In this way, Li Li stood in front of the main hall for a long time, but he was still confused and confused. At some point, Kong Ming and Xu Huang came together and walked to him lightly. Just as Xu Huang was about to bow to the salute, Zhuge Liang shook his head to stop him. Then, the two stood behind Li Li, motionless, watching the rain with Li Li, waiting for him to wake up from his meditation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stood still, Li Li quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Gongming is here too, it's a rare guest. If I remember correctly, this is the first time Gongming came to see me on his own initiative. You didn't come often before."

Xu Huang's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this, and he said respectfully nervously: "I will be rude, please forgive me." As he spoke, a string of sweat spilled out of Xu Huang's forehead, showing that he was quite uneasy. I wonder if Li Li said this or was polite or blamed, and he was very frightened.

Seeing Xu Huang's expression was restrained, Li Li gently patted his shoulder and laughed: "You don't need to be polite. You have been leading troops outside for many years and are not allowed to call me. How can you have time to come to see me? I understand all this. Today I have a rare time, so I will drink happily and stop drunk! Hahaha."

Hearing this, Xu Huang finally confirmed that what his lord Li Li just said was a polite word. He suddenly let out a long sigh, his tense mind completely relaxed, and the expression on his face became natural. This scene fell into Zhuge Liang's eyes, allowing him to see the noble prestige of his lord Li Li in the army for the first time. Even a general like Xu Huang who is good at fighting is so respectful and restrained in front of Li Li, let alone other generals?

After some greetings, the three ministers and ministers sat down one after another. It was still the same habit as before. Li Li did not sit high above the stairs, but sat in the first place on the left side of the hall, sitting side by side with Zhuge Liang and Xu Huang.

The servant, who had been instructed, quickly set up a banquet and respectfully knelt on the side and served carefully.

After drinking three cups of wine, the three people in the hall couldn't help but become familiar with each other, or Xu Huang gradually let go of his restraint and completely integrated into the conversation between Li Li and Zhuge Liang. Because Zhuge Liang and Li Li have always been very familiar with each other, calm, chatting and laughing, and not at all. Only Xu Huang seems not to be used to such occasions, especially in front of Li Li, he cannot be as calm as Zhuge Liang, and he is quite flattered. However, he is a generous and frank person after all, and he naturally let go of his wine after drinking wine. He no longer holds his hands and feet like before, sitting upright and speaking with his voice in his voice.

Xu Huang's voice was very loud at this moment: "The heavy rains for several days have severely hindered the subsequent war, and the soldiers could not practice. They could only stay in the camp to wipe their weapons and chat. But General Gongsun and General Zilong have led their troops to pursue them for two days. At this moment, at least two hundred miles away, the distance from the army behind us is too great, which is tantamount to going deep into the army alone and being alone without help. This is extremely dangerous. What's more, they are fighting on the territory of the barbarian tribe, not familiar with the terrain, nor have food and supplies; once they are ambushed, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the last general recommends sending troops as soon as possible, and marching urgently to strive to catch up with them within three days; otherwise the dry food they carry with them will be exhausted. If they encounter a surprise attack by the barbarian army, they will inevitably be destroyed without attack. It is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out."

"Ba———Food and grass!" Before Xu Huang could finish his words, Li Li suddenly slapped the table and suddenly realized: "Food and grass. It turned out to be food and grass! I was vaguely uneasy since last night. I always felt that the 30,000 cavalry led by Bogui and Zilong seemed to be inappropriate. There was a hidden danger, but I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Now I finally understood that it turned out that all this was because of food and grass. They set off too hastily and were eager to chase the barbarian army.

They were all war cavalry. Naturally, it was impossible to carry a large amount of food and grass. These were not problems at first. As long as we led the army and arrived later, they would not lose food. But now a heavy rain blocked my subsequent army in the pass, so the 30,000 troops led by Bogui and Zilong could not be replenished. In this way, once the food and grass were cut off, they would be defeated without fighting. The situation was worrying." After speaking, Li Li looked solemn, and he paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

Li Li could not have known this originally simple truth, but he ignored this point and thus violated the military taboo. He has always focused on strategy and tactics and looked at the overall situation. On the one hand, he led the army to fight against the barbarian army, and on the other hand, he was planning the two major battle situations of the Central Plains. He was so busy that the layout of the three battlefields in Hebei, Huainan and the outside of the Great Wall were all in his mind, which made him dare not slacken for a moment. He kept thinking about how to gain the best interests in the three battlefields, repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and how to dispatch troops. Until the heavy rain suddenly came, he finally stopped and could calm down and sort out the wars in recent times and future advance strategies.

It was precisely because the war suddenly became quiet that Li Li felt a little uneasy while thinking about the entire battle situation. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally confirmed this uneasiness to the pursuit army led by Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun. But he racked his brains and couldn't figure out where the problem was, and where there were any mistakes. For this reason, he thought for a whole day and night, but he still couldn't grasp the key and couldn't figure it out.

Until now, Xu Huang woke up the dreamer with a word, which made Li Li suddenly realize. It turned out that this mistake was in the most basic military strategist problem of food and grass. This low-level mistake should not have happened to Li Li, but now the facts are all there. The biggest shortcoming of the chasing army led by Gongsun Zan is food and grass, and this is also the most fatal.

Now that things have come to this point, annoyance is useless, problems have already arisen, and dangers have existed. The solution for the present is to face it actively, try to solve the problems as much as possible, and recover unnecessary casualties. Li Li led the troops for many years and encountered various difficulties, so he was not panicked at this moment, but was particularly calm.

"How much dry food did Kongming and Bogui bring when he led his army to set off?"

After hearing Li Li's words, Zhuge Liang's expression also changed drastically, and his forehead instantly overflowed with dense beads of sweat, his eyes full of self-blame and shame. In the past two days, he has been immersed in the joy of Lu Longsai's victory. After all, this was the first battle he personally commanded since he became an official, and he won it and achieved success in one battle. This huge joy is not that the people in the game may not be able to feel the joy of the authorities. The most important thing is that after this battle, the barbarian army suffered heavy losses and it is impossible to organize such a large-scale war again. The remaining tens of thousands of remaining troops are no longer afraid.

It is precisely based on this mentality that Zhuge Liang did not take the barbarian army that fled in a hurry to heart, thinking that the overall situation was settled, and the rest was to eliminate the defeated generals of the barbarian and remnants of the barbarian army. Naturally, he did not need to worry about such a small matter. The generals in each battalion were fully capable of doing the aftermath of clearing the remaining remnants. Originally, youth had no direct relationship with caution, but most young people were not cautious enough, which is an indisputable fact. Zhuge Liang, who is well-known to everyone in the future, was young and was still in a critical period of rapid growth.

At first hearing Li Li ask about the food and grass that Gongsun Zan brought before his departure. Zhuge Liang, who had a pale face, replied with great difficulty: "It's only three days of dry food. If you save some, you can barely support four days."

Li Li's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he said without hesitation: "Gongming immediately reorganized his troops, led 10,000 cavalry to carry 10 days of dry food and more arrows. Let's prepare now, lead troops out of the customs in the evening, traveling starry night, be sure to catch up with the front army within three days, and then stand on time and not move without any action. No matter what the rain is, the army sets off tomorrow morning and will definitely arrive within five days! Without further ado, Gongming should hurry up and prepare." Xu Huang did not say much, and immediately took the order and left.

"Lord, my husband?" As soon as Xu Huang left, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but ask for punishment. However, without waiting for him to apologize, Li Li waved his hand and interjected: "Kongming doesn't have to blame himself. This matter has nothing to do with you. Sending Gongsun Zan to lead troops to chase the barbarian army is not within your tactical plan. It was my temporary plan to decide to send a soldier to bite the barbarian army so that he could destroy the barbarians as soon as possible. But he didn't know that haste would be ineffective. He encountered this sudden heavy rain, which led to the 30,000 troops led by Gongsun Zan and Zilong were in danger. This is really a matter of human calculations, and I hope there is still room for recovery."

He shouted at the top of his throat many times, and Hu Ben felt embarrassed to howl again. Thanks to the favor of his book friends, Hu Ben felt quite flattered. This was the three most powerful days since the Knights were on the shelves. Hu Ben sincerely said "Thank you!"

Hu Ben dared not expect to show his face on the monthly ticket list, but only hoped to have 500 monthly tickets when the Knight ended. The Knight's wish was enough. At present, there are still about 100 monthly tickets. For Hu Ben, this number is not small and difficult to achieve. After all, there are only 30 or 40 tickets per month now, and the Knight will end in January.

The gap is huge, and I can only rely on the generous help from book friends. What Hu Ben can do for you is really insignificant. A "thank you" means Hu Ben's full of enthusiasm and sincere gratitude. I sincerely wish you: a happy life, a comfortable work, a happy study, happiness always with you, good luck follows forever, and happiness lasts forever!
