Li Li's current seat is next to Guo Bang's, the second seat on the right, facing Li Meng next to Zhang Ji on the left.

After all the generals had a hasty meal in the big tent, Li Jue coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, today's first battle was defeated, and more than two thousand elite infantry were lost. From this, it can be seen that old Zhang Miao If you are prepared and have all the weapons to defend the city, it will be difficult for our army to win in a short time.

How should our army attack the city tomorrow? "

After Li Jue finished speaking, Guo Bang said without hesitation: "This time we will send troops to Chen Liu, in addition to defeating Zhang Miao, we also shoulder the important task of raising food and wages.

In my opinion, it is better to send out some soldiers and horses tomorrow to go to the counties of Chenliu to collect money and food. Even if Chenliu City cannot be captured, it can ensure that our army's food and grass are safe and will not return empty-handed.What do you guys think? "

"General Guo's words are feasible. As long as enough food and salaries are collected, it doesn't matter if you can't attack Chenliu City. In the future, Chenliu County will be full of hungry people and the land will be deserted. So what if Zhang Miao still sits here? It's not like he's devastated. It's hard to make a difference. As."

Zhang Ji nodded in agreement with Guo Si's opinion, and said with a smile.

Afterwards, all the generals in the big tent nodded in agreement, eager to lead their troops to plunder Chenliu's counties.

Li Li scoffed at Guo Bang's proposal, and sneered secretly in his heart.

Obviously they want to go to the counties to plunder money, but they say it so high-soundingly, collecting taxes and raising food and salaries, the words are better than the songs.

The Xiliang soldiers were all brought down by Dong Zhuo's servant, and they would burn, kill, loot, and search for money and food at every turn.Don't you know that although this move is a temporary pleasure and the food and wages are sufficient, it is killing the chicken to get the eggs, which is notorious and will bring endless disasters!

It's no wonder that among the princes who will compete in the world in the future, although the Xiliang soldiers are famous all over the world for their bravery, there is no real hero who can command all the troops.In the end, both Yongliang and Liangzhou and Bingyou cavalry were taken over by Sima Yi, thus laying the foundation for the Sima family to rule the world.

Therefore, when all the generals agreed to send troops to plunder Chenliu, Li Li sat there with a serious expression on his knees, completely motionless.

Seeing that all the generals wanted to lead the army to plunder, Li Jue was about to say yes, but he caught a glimpse of his nephew Li Li's sullen face and said nothing.

Immediately, he paused, and asked slightly surprised: "Li'er, you have heard everyone's words, what do you think?"

In fact, Li Li had long wanted to remonstrate to his uncle Li Jue to enforce military discipline and strictly restrain his soldiers and horses, but he never had the right time, and his words were soft and his intentions were powerless.

Now, since Li Jue took the initiative to ask, Li Li did not intend to remain silent.Anyway, during Chen Liu's trip, he didn't plan to make any more military exploits, and he had the right to treat himself as a bystander and not compete with the generals for the opportunity to fight.

If you stand on a wall, you will be strong without desire.Since I have no utilitarian intentions in this trip, I don't need to hide anything, I simply express what I have been holding in my heart for a long time.

As for the consequences, the big deal is that I will be isolated by the generals. Once the right time comes, I will jump out of the cage and start all over again.

"Uncle, all generals, since Prime Minister Dong took control of Luoyang, the eastern capital, our Xiliang army has collected money and food everywhere. The current Luoyang is the most powerful proof. The counties and counties of Sili used to have millions of people, but now there are no people. Withered, there is no one in the hundreds of miles, starvation is everywhere, and the refugees are eating each other.

In the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the past, the Yellow Turban bandits burned, killed and looted everywhere, causing the people all over the world to attack it; millions of Yellow Turbans scattered like birds and beasts within half a year, fled for their lives in panic, and lived in seclusion in the wilderness and mountains, terrified all day long.

In the past two years, how is the behavior of my Xiliang army different from that of the yellow turban moth bandits?Burning, killing, and looting wantonly, corpses strewn all over the place, money and food were searched, women were ravaged, they were notoriously vicious, full of evil!

You hold powerful soldiers in your hands, have high martial arts skills, and are not afraid of people's words, let alone refugees and grassroots bandits.But, have you ever thought about it, we can't be tyrannical forever, and there are wives, children, relatives and friends behind us, once we fall, what will be their fate?

The laws of heaven are clear, and there is karma.If you do too much evil, you will have to pay it back sooner or later!Even if we can die and be a hero, our wives, children and children have to pay for these sins, and life and death are in a dilemma.

In troubled times, the strong are respected; when princes contend for hegemony, what does it have to do with the poor and the innocent?

On the battlefield, no matter how many enemies you kill, it is your merit; killing one is brave, but killing thousands is heroic.But is it a hero to slaughter innocent people?How can you show off your meritorious deeds with the lives and wealth of the common people?

I, Li Li, am warlike and love to kill, but I only kill those who are my enemies. I will not kill innocent people in vain, let alone kill poor people!

The words of the family have been held in my heart for a long time, and I can vomit them quickly today, and I ask all uncles and brothers to bear with me.If you think that I, Li Li, am young and frivolous, and speak out loudly, then just pretend I didn't say anything.However, I don't bother to plunder the people, so you can do it yourself. "

While speaking, Li Li stood up, and continued: "Uncle, my nephew said something offensive today, so please don't blame my uncle. Generals, there are still some military affairs that need to be dealt with urgently in the Li camp. Allow me to retire first."

After finishing speaking, Li Li got up and bowed to the generals in the tent, then quickly exited the big tent, left the Chinese army, and returned to the Longxiang camp.

After Li Li left, all the generals in the big tent looked gloomy, lowered their heads, panted heavily, blushed, and were extremely embarrassed.

Li Jue's complexion is also very ugly.Because what Li Li said just now actually included him, the words were sharp and left no room; it was like a slap on the face, a slap on the left cheek and a slap on the right cheek, crisp and loud, shocking, It's so neat and tidy to leave after fighting!

Suddenly, there was a silence in the big tent, only the sound of heavy breathing proved that the generals had not left yet.

Everyone bowed their heads and remained silent like devout believers; obviously they hadn't woken up from Li Li's words just now.

Chapter 20 Separate Portal

In the early morning of the next day, the sun rises in the east.

In the eastern sky, the morning glow is all over the sky, and it is another sunny day.

Although Chaoyang is good, it is not good news for the common people in Yanzhou.

Since the beginning of spring, Yanzhou has not had a single rainstorm, and the sun has always been shining brightly, and the sky is full of morning glow every morning.

This kind of weather is okay for ten days and a half months, and I am happy to hear it; but if it lasts for three months, it will kill me.

The ground is extremely dry, and when you step on it, the dust can be splashed several feet high; when the horses gallop past, it is a gray area, and the dust is flying.

Even if the dry land is like this, the field is even more severely drought, and there are thigh-thick gullies in the paddy field, and babbling children can fall into it.

Early in the morning, Li Li took Li Xian, Fan Yong and Bo Cai, and three others, galloped on horseback and whipped, and galloped past the edge of the field.

Looking around, the fields are extremely dry, the seedlings are brown, and it looks like a severe drought.

Obviously, the people around Chenliu City will have nothing to harvest this year.

"Major General, Major General! The commander-in-chief has ordered you to return to the camp as soon as possible, and there is an urgent military consultation!"

Just as Li Li and his party were jumping on their horses and raising their whips, a fast horse galloped up, and then a soldier beside Li Jue got off his horse and knelt down and said anxiously.

"Okay, I see, let's go back to camp."

After Li Li nodded in response, he rode his horse and galloped away, while Li Xian and the other three followed closely behind and went straight to the gate of the village.

Not long after, Li Li, dressed in armor and with long hair draped over his shoulders, walked into the large tent of the Chinese army.

"Uncle, if you have any military affairs, please just give the order. My nephew is willing to obey."

After bowing and saluting, Li Li suddenly realized that only Li Jue, Li Fu, Li Zheng, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals of the Li family were present in the big tent, and none of the other generals came.

"Okay, come on, sit next to me. Go out early in the morning to inspect the people's situation, you think this Chenliu County is your jurisdiction! Hahaha!"

Li Jue looked at Li Li's dusty appearance, and said with a loud laugh.

Li Li sat down in response, and asked puzzledly: "Uncle, why didn't the other generals come to discuss the matter? Could it be that they..."

Li Jue didn't wait for Li Li to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "It's not what you imagined, let's just stop looting the counties of Chenliu, and our army won't do such stupid things again in the future!

I called you here early in the morning because I was entrusted by the generals to appoint you as the supervisor of the entire army, to strictly enforce military discipline, and to picket out lawless soldiers and black sheep who do harm to the people.No matter who it is, once the violation of discipline is verified and the evidence of the crime is conclusive, all the generals promise to punish them severely!

Li'er, this is an errand that offends others, and it's not appreciated. Are you willing to accept it?It's okay to be blunt, there are no outsiders here. "

Li Li was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes widened, and he was startled.

"How could this be? Don't Uncle Guo hate me? Don't worry about me taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and form cliques for personal gain?"
