Hearing Wang Fang's yelling and cursing, Li Li rode his horse to Fan Yong, who was escorting the luggage by the rear army.

On this trip, Bo Cai took three thousand infantry from the Longxiang Battalion to follow Fan Yong's army.After all, Li Li had expanded three thousand pawns privately, which was too conspicuous and easy to be tabooed by others. If it was placed among Fan Yong's pawns, it would not be too conspicuous.

Because Fan Yong originally had [-] infantry, and he has been responsible for escorting the army's supplies, it is reasonable to have more soldiers and horses.

At this moment, Bo Cai was whispering with Fan Yong, discussing the current battle with great interest.

"Brother, the battle is imminent, why do you have the leisure to come to me?"

Fan Yong asked in surprise when he saw Li Li bringing his personal guards to the rear army.

Li Li turned his head to look at the front of the formation, shook his head, and said helplessly: "There are quite a lot of generals in the army, and it doesn't matter if I don't participate in the battle. Our Xiliang Army is now a big business, with many soldiers and generals. Your eldest brother I have made a lot of military exploits before, so it's time to give up this time.

Uncle ordered me to stay in the rear army and join forces with you, my second brother, to guard the military supplies and escort the food and grass.What, do you have an opinion? "

"How can I, how could I have any objection to elder brother? But elder brother, you have always been belligerent, and this time there is no war, I'm afraid you can't bear the loneliness and feel resentful! Hehehe!"

Fan Yong was not afraid of Li Li's anger, so he told the truth and pointed out the reason for Li Li's gloomy expression.

After being told by Fan Yong's words, Li Li felt a lot more relieved, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Okay, second brother, you are so stupid, but you are so delicate, you can actually see through it." My thoughts are not simple! It seems that Uncle sent you, a strong general, to guard the luggage, and he really knows the right people and uses the right people.

Since you are so smart, I will not be polite to you, big brother.You are still fully responsible for guarding the rear army's supplies, brother, I will relax, watch the excitement, and practice martial arts.

Also, I have something to say first, you have to take care of good wine and good meat, this is your territory, you can't treat my brothers badly! "

After Fan Yong heard the words, he scratched his disheveled hair and said helplessly: "Okay, brother, I will do as you say! In fact, I have always taken special care of your subordinates, otherwise you expanded your army by three thousand half a month ago, how would you get food and grass supplies?" Ah, it's not all because of me.

However, big brother, I am not the only one who has the final say in this rear army, and Li Zheng supervises the military equipment and food, you have to deal with him.Otherwise, your three thousand pawns will reveal their secrets sooner or later, and you will definitely not be able to escape your uncle's eyes and ears. "

"Well! The second brother is very thoughtful. I didn't intend to hide it from my uncle, but it's better not to let him know for the time being. I will take care of Li Zheng's place, and the second brother can just rest assured."

Li Li thought for a while and said.

In fact, Li Zheng, Li Fu and his son have always taken good care of Li Lisu and obeyed their orders.Although Li Li's parents have long since passed away, his status as the eldest son of the third generation is an unchangeable fact.

Although Li Jue is very powerful now, since ancient times, the order of the elders and the younger ones, the person who is most likely to take over the position of the head of the Li family in the future is still Li Li, who is now famous.

Therefore, Li Li didn't need to explain the whole story to Li Zheng. He only needed to say hello, and Li Zheng would gladly take care of Bocai's troops and provide as many weapons and food as possible.

Xiliang people value family affection, which is an instinctive consciousness deep in the blood, which far exceeds the shackles of military discipline and loyalty to the current Xiliang army commander Dong Zhuo.

Right now, although Chen Liu's swords were on the verge of breaking out, all of this had nothing to do with Li Li directly.It is very necessary for him to judge the situation and avoid avoidance appropriately.

In the first battle of Zhongmu, he had made successive achievements.Defeating tens of thousands of Zhu Jun's rebels in Xinzheng City, and capturing Zhu Jun alive at the foot of the lonely mountain, these credits are enough for him to impress the entire Xiliang army and get another chance to be promoted.

Apart from Li Li, Li Jue also had many Xiliang generals who were eager to make meritorious deeds under his command. Now that the [-] army is ready to fight, how can he be allowed to be the only one who is good at the front and dominates the military exploits.

What's more, the current commander-in-chief of the Xiliang Army is Boss Dong, and there are five other Zhonglang generals. Even Li Jue himself is only temporarily serving as the commander-in-chief of the army, and it is not Li Li's turn to do whatever he wants.

In addition, after repeated fierce battles, especially after the battle with Zhu Jun, Li Li found that his martial arts were still too poor.

Although he has the strength of a first-class military general, what is a first-class general in this troubled world? Doesn't the prince have a large number of first-class generals under his command?

Not to mention the distance, Dong Zhuo has a large number of first-class generals under Dong Zhuo's command. There are also five top players.

It's just that Hua Xiong, one of the five great generals, has already died in battle. Now there are four great generals, Lu Bu, Li Jue, Guo Si and Fan Chou.

These are just the military generals who are on the surface. In fact, each captain has more or less hidden brave generals under his command.

For example, Li Zheng and Li Fu under Li Jue, Guo Meng, the younger brother of Guo Si, Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Zhang Ji, Hu Che'er, the hero of the Hu people, Fan Yong, the nephew of Fan Chou, Wu Xi, the general of Niu Fu, etc. , These generals all have first-class skills, and some of them even have the initial combat power of top generals.

Compared with these titans, Li Li's martial arts is still far behind, and he can't be ranked at all.

As for the strategy, with Li Jue holding the military power and being loyal to Dong Zhuo, many of Li Li's plans are difficult to implement, and they are hindered everywhere, and they will be useless in the short term.

From the memory of the late original owner "Li Li", Li Li knew that he had been practicing martial arts diligently before, and even the martial arts of Li Xian and Fan Yong were the superb martial arts that he had practiced by forcing them to accompany them.

After Li Li survived two life-and-death battles, his martial arts has also improved, and now he has entered the middle rank of first-class generals, and is steadily advancing towards the later stage.

It's just that in the way of martial arts, one's own talent is very important. Li Xian and Fan Yong are born with supernatural powers and talents, so their martial arts progressed very fast.

After fierce fighting, Li Xian has made great progress in martial arts, and now he is close to the top rank of first-class generals; and after the fierce battle between Fan Yong and Bo Cai, he has already touched the mystery of the power and aura of top generals, and has faintly stepped into the top-level generals. sequence.

Being left far behind by the two brothers made Li Li feel so embarrassing.

Therefore, for these days, he has been practicing martial arts day and night, often pulling Li Xian and Fan Yong as sparring partners, almost to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep.

Anyway, Li Li can't change the overall situation right now, and many plans can only be gradually implemented after returning to Chang'an, so practicing martial arts is undoubtedly the best thing to pass the time.

Chapter 19 No Mercy

The day Xiliang army first arrived at Chenliu city.

Zhang Miao evaded and did not fight, even though Wang Fang slandered and abused wantonly in the city, he just made up his mind not to defend and ignored all kinds of provocations from the Xiliang army.

The challenge was fruitless, and Li Jue immediately ordered [-] infantry to carry siege weapons and storm Chenliu City.

The two sides fought fiercely for half a day, and the Xiliang soldiers climbed up the top of the city on ladders several times, but in the end they failed to secure a place to stay on the top of the city, and were killed by Zhang Miao's army.

Until the sun set and dusk came, Li Jue's army failed to attack the city and retreated angrily.

In this battle, more than half of the [-] Xiliang infantry were lost, and less than [-] remnants survived in the end.

Zhang Miao defended the strong city and was fully prepared before the battle. Although there were several dangers along the way, he still tenaciously resisted the Xiliang soldiers in the end.Survived the first day of the siege battle without any danger, and won the first battle, only losing more than a thousand defenders, which has nothing to do with the overall situation.

At night, the Xiliang army set up camp at Changwei Mountain, twenty miles northeast of Chenliu City.

This is the camp that Li Li led the [-] supply battalion soldiers to set up after a busy afternoon.

Changwei Mountain is actually a big barren mountain with an altitude of more than 200 meters, stretching for dozens of miles, and the other side of the mountain is the Yellow River.The mountain is high in the west and low in the east, with a tall and towering main peak on the west, and a steep and narrow ridge on the east, extending down slowly, like the long tail of a tit.Therefore, it is called Long Tail Mountain by Li Li.

The camp of the Xiliang Army was built close to the main peak of Changwei Mountain. To the west is Luoyang, which is the territory of the Xiliang Army. To the northeast is a mountain ridge that is more than ten miles long. .

Li Li set up three lines of defense at the main gate of Dazhai, ditches, fences and several large traps distributed in a staggered manner.

These pits are staggered one by one, paved with thick planks, which can accommodate the passage of a large army. Once the planks are removed, it will be a trap that is two feet deep and covered with bamboo spines, enough to kill thousands of soldiers.

Li Li didn't expect to build such a temporary camp so complicated. He just mentioned it casually, turned around and left, leaving all the trivial matters to Bocai.

Unexpectedly, in one afternoon, a huge and solid military camp was built, with both offensive and defensive capabilities, especially the trap at the gate of the village, which was extremely difficult to detect.

If Li Li didn't take the initiative to tell Li Jue about it, maybe even a veteran general like Li Jue wouldn't know that the underground at the gate was full of murderous weapons and bamboo thorn pits.

The big camp is very simple, except for the tents of the generals, which are more elaborate, the other tents are only linoleum huts that can only keep out the rain. Hundreds of people are crowded into one hut, and the environment is harsh.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, all the generals gathered in the big tent.

Li Jue sat in the middle, quite majestic, with a solemn expression, not showing the slightest sullenness of today's defeat in the siege.
