Li Jue, Guo Si and other generals were all sitting there, waiting for Li Li to return.

"Report...! General Li Li returned from a great victory and captured the leader of the bandit Zhu Jun alive. He has already entered the city!"

The scout rushed to the main hall, and before Li Jue could ask, he loudly announced the news of Li Li's return from victory.

"Okay, hahaha! Li'er really lived up to everyone's expectations and captured old Zhu Jun alive!"

Sitting on the commander's seat, Li Jue said loudly with a hearty laugh.

"That's right, Li'er is really brave and resourceful. This battle all depends on his decisiveness and courageous charge!"

Guo Si said with a sigh.

"Yes, the major general is extremely brave, and he should be the first to take the lead!"

"That's right, the Major General is both wise and courageous, and a young talent. I will pay him some credit and ask the Xiangguo to give him more rewards!"

All of a sudden, all the generals in the hall praised Li Li one after another, and the words of praise were endless. Hearing that Li Jue was relaxed and smiling.

"The last general, Li Li, was ordered to pursue Zhu Jun, and he has returned to the camp. Zhu Jun, the leader of the bandit, is just outside the gate of the mansion. General, please show me!"

Amidst the laughter in the main hall, Li Li, wearing armor, strode into the hall with his head held high, bowed and said.

"Hey! Lier, what happened to your face? Was it hurt?"

Li Jue saw the white cloth wrap around the corner of Li Li's right face at a glance, and asked in amazement.

"Hehehe! Uncle, don't worry, when I was fighting with Zhu Jun earlier, I was rubbed with a spear, and it was just a little scratch, so nothing to worry about!"

Li Li said with a disapproving laugh.

In fact, this was what Li Li had thought up a long time ago, so there was no need to hide it for Zhu Jun. As for how his uncle Li Jue would treat Zhu Jun, that was none of his business.

Earlier, Li Li had thought of secretly detaining Zhu Jun for future emergencies; but after the previous shocking battle, he changed his mind and decided to hand over Zhu Jun to the generals in a grand manner, and then inform the generals in Chang'an Dong Zhuo.

As for what happened to Zhu Jun in the end, he didn't want to know, and he didn't bother to meddle in such nosy matters; from the moment Zhu Jun was handed over, the life and death of this big man had nothing to do with him.

···················

The battle at the north gate of Xinzheng City.

Li Lili led the 1 Longxiang Battalion and [-] infantry with a total of [-] cavalry. At the cost of losing [-] cavalry, he defeated more than [-] Zhu Jun's army in the first battle, and killed [-] Zhu Jun's cavalry in one fell swoop. City, and captured the bandit leader Zhu Jun alive.

While the record was good, more than [-] cavalrymen of the Longxiang Battalion died in the battle, and more than [-] people were injured. In the first battle, more than [-] cavalrymen were lost, almost half of the staff.

Of the 600 infantry, there were still more than [-] soldiers, and only more than [-] were killed or injured, which finally reduced the total number of Li Li's damaged soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, the more than [-] cavalry led by Li Jue and Guo Si were not for display. They surrounded the rest of the city gates and arrested surrendered soldiers wantonly, capturing a total of more than [-] Zhu Jun's surrendered soldiers.

It can be said to be a complete victory, with fruitful results achieved at a small cost.

That night, Li Jue ordered to reward the whole army, and held a celebration banquet. All the soldiers drank happily and did not leave until late at night.

At the banquet, Li Li greeted people with a smile all the time, never drunk after a thousand cups, and behaved extremely humble and thoughtful.

After the banquet was over, Li Li's smile disappeared and he returned to the camp with a full face.

In this battle, all the soldiers and horses lost were Li Jue's trilogy.

Among them, there are more than 1000 iron cavalry from the Longxiang Battalion. They are all elite cavalry who have just become Li Li's private soldiers.

Li Li would feel pain for a while if he lost one, let alone losing nearly half of his soldiers and horses at one time; how happy he was!

After the war, all the generals returned to their respective battalions. Li Meng, Wang Fang, Li Zheng, Fan Yong and others all had their own troops and horses, and their positions were one level higher than Li Li's.

Everyone is in awe of Li Jue, so they call him Li Li a major general; otherwise, he is not yet qualified to discuss friendship with these generals.

At present, Li Li's real subordinates are only two generals, one is his younger brother Li Xian, and the other is Bo Cai who has just surrendered.

Fan Yong is naturally obedient to Li Li, he is his second brother.

As the saying goes: if the name is not correct, the words will not be smooth.

Now Fan Yong is a captain of the infantry, leading an army alone, and has no affiliation with Li Li, so he cannot be regarded as his subordinate.

Li Fu, Li Zheng, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others are all collateral members of the Li family, and they are under the orders of Li Jue, the current head of the Li family. They are only masters and servants in name with Li Li, but they are not under his orders.

Therefore, Li Li now really has extremely limited generals and soldiers. Two generals and more than 1000 soldiers and horses are all his current family assets.

Moreover, there are still some uncertain factors in the more than 1000 warriors of the Longxiang Battalion. Most of the low-level generals are not from his direct lineage, but were trained and promoted by his uncle Li Jue.

If Li Jue ordered to take back the military power now, then Li Li would have nothing at once, only his younger brother Li Xian and Bo Cai, who had no military position for the time being, would be by his side, that's all.

Although Li Li believes that his uncle Li Jue will not treat him badly, entrusting his wealth and life on others in troubled times is by no means a long-term solution, nor is it what the strong do.

Establishing a team that is completely his own and owning a school of his own is what Li Li is most eager to do now.

Back in the military tent, Li Li immediately called Bo Cai, who was seriously injured, into the big tent, and whispered with his head bowed.

Then, he said to Li Xian who was standing quietly by the side: "Brother Siam, follow Bocai to the prisoner-of-war camp and bring all the soldiers he selected back to the camp.

If someone dares to stop you, just ignore him and beat him up!Hurry up and try to finish this matter before dawn. "

"Okay, brother, I'll go right away!"

Li Xian was very straightforward, didn't ask any questions, brought a dozen bodyguards, and led Bo Cai straight to the camp where the prisoners of war were held.

"More than half of the [-] Longxiang Battalion has lost more than half, and a group of veterans with excellent riding skills must be added. Otherwise, it will be difficult to guarantee the combat effectiveness of the Longxiang Battalion. In a few months, Dong Zhuo will die. By then How should I choose?

In troubled times, counselors, generals, food and foundations are all indispensable, otherwise it will be difficult to make a fortune.well!My foundation is still too shallow, everything can only start from scratch.Although he is Li Jue's nephew, he still has his own son, after all, there is a difference between closeness and distance! "

After Li Xian and Bo Cai left the camp, Li Li sat alone in the center of the big tent, thinking about his current situation.

············· Nothing happened overnight.

The process of Bocai going to the POW camp to select his soldiers went smoothly, with Li Xian following closely behind, no one dared to show up to stop him.

At dawn, Li Xian and Bo Cai returned to Longxiang camp with more than [-] strong soldiers.

Li Li stayed up all night, sitting alone in the tent and thinking all night, sorting out his thoughts, combining various aspects, and preliminarily formed a more meticulous plan for the future.

Outside the big tent, Li Li carefully looked at the nearly two thousand soldiers selected by Bo Cai, and nodded with satisfaction from time to time.

"Bocai, last night I ordered some century-old ginseng plants from my uncle, and you can take them all later. Don't shirk, you have not recovered from serious injuries and urgently need recuperation, take good care of your body, I am still waiting for you to train me Where are the soldiers!"
