"Li'er, there are times when you are taken aback too! Hehehe!"

Li Jue seemed to like seeing Li Li's surprise, so he laughed and joked.

Immediately, he withdrew his smile and said solemnly: "Li'er, what you said last night is indeed very reasonable. Everyone is grateful for your kind reminder. However, these guys are very concerned about face, and they can't bear to thank you face to face , so there is such a request, let you be the supervisor of the army, and rectify military discipline.

Anyway, you were the one who provoked this matter, and these guys simply beat you up, and turned to plot against you, claiming that since you speak well, then you will be the villain.Are you willing to take this job? "

Li Li's thoughts changed all of a sudden, he weighed the pros and cons, then nodded and said: "No problem, I am willing to take on this offending errand!

But... I'm afraid that after Chen Liuzhi's trip is over and I return to Chang'an, my supervisor will come to an end, so I'll be dismissed on the spot.

It's just that since then, I'm afraid there hasn't been much change in military discipline. People follow orders and people leave tea to cool down. In the end, they will still return to the old way, which is of no practical use. "

Li Jue was taken aback for a moment, and after a while, he nodded and said, "You are right, I will discuss with them later, and let you continue to hold this position after the war in Chenliu is over.

As for General Niu Fu, you don't have to worry, everything is with us.Niu Fu has an army of [-], and he can't manage his own military affairs, so he has no time to take care of us soldiers.

Besides, although he is Dong Xiangguo's son-in-law, he is not enough to shout and criticize us generals.Otherwise, we people are not afraid of him. Even if we get to Xiangguo, what can Niu Fu do to us?

In the final analysis, we people belong to his command in name only, but in fact we do our own thing without interfering with each other. "

Li Li heard a lot from Li Jue's words.

That is, the Xiliang generals are not as harmonious as they appear on the surface, they are also secretly fighting with each other, and they even form cliques in private.

Obviously, these generals who followed Li Jue to send troops to Chen Liu this time are actually the alliance of forces with the closest relationship with each other, secretly confronting the five Zhonglang generals, supporting each other, and advancing and retreating together.

With this in mind, Li Li knew that he had indeed made a profit this time.

Not only did my swearing at me last night not offend the generals, but it made them look at me with admiration and sincerely accept me.

This was beyond Li Li's expectations.

Originally, he had prepared for the worst, preparing for the joint suppression of the generals.Unexpectedly, the generals gave him a special position, that is, a special identity, which seems to be above the generals, which is somewhat similar to Li Jue's status. He can supervise the armies and do things conveniently.

"Uncle, last night my nephew was frivolous and talked nonsense, aren't you angry?"

Li Jue stared sideways at Li Li with deep eyes, as if he could read people's hearts.

Immediately, he turned around and sat looking at the sunshine outside the big tent, and said quietly: "Lier, since you were injured last time, you have changed a lot, and even my uncle dare not recognize you." nephew.

But you are not getting worse, but you are getting smarter and wiser, with a long-term vision, which is completely different from the previous you.

I don't know what you want to do, but I can see that everything you do seems to be the result of careful consideration, not reckless and rash actions.

You are my nephew, and I brought you up single-handedly. No matter what you want to do, your uncle has no reason not to support you.Similarly, you are the eldest son of the three generations of the Li family, and you should take over the Li family business.

It's just that our Li family didn't have much family background, and some of them were just some clan members, which could be of great use.Even if I want to give you the little money at home, I'm afraid your aunt won't agree, so leave it to Shier, so that he can become a rich man with no worries about food and clothing.

And Li Fu, Li Zheng, Li Meng and Wang Fang will be handed over to you from today, and you will be the head of the Li family.Next month, you will be 16 years old, and you will grow up to be a grown-up. You will be named "Wenchang". From then on, you will be Li Li and Li Wenchang! "

Li Li was shocked when he heard the words, and immediately said decisively: "Uncle, this is absolutely impossible. How can I be the head of the family? Although Shidi is young, he is your only son. He should take over the Li family. The position of head of the family , I absolutely cannot accept it, and ask my uncle to take it back!

Uncle Fu and Brother Li Zheng can follow me, but you always need helpers by your side, so Li Meng and Brother Wang Fang should follow you; otherwise, you will have no direct descendants to use by your side.Uncle, that's the deal, you don't need to say more, I have made up my mind, and I will never change it!

I am the eldest son of Li's family. If I can succeed in the future, then I will build another Li family;From today onwards, the Li family is divided into two, nominally non-interfering with each other, but in reality they are united!Uncle, what do you think? "

When Li Jue heard Li Li's last words, his expression was shocked, and his eyes were full of shock.

After a long time, he sighed softly, and said pitifully, "Li'er, why are you bothering? The world is hard, and it's even harder to start from the beginning. Are you really determined to set up another family?"

"Yes, the things I decide will never change!" Li Li replied affirmatively.

Chapter 21 Lengsha Yama

After seeing Li Li nodding his head firmly, Li Jue felt inexplicably relieved, and at the same time felt somewhat regretful.

There is no father who does not love his son.So is Li Jue.

Li Li is very outstanding. He is extremely intelligent at a young age, acts calmly, and is farsighted.

However, he is not his own son after all.

Li Jue often said that his wife Yang loved his son Li Shi very much. In fact, this is not an excuse. In fact, he himself dotes on his own son Li Shi even more.

In the recent period, Li Li has become more and more calm and sophisticated, with extraordinary wisdom, and even secretly expanded his troops.

None of these could be hidden from Li Jue's eyes and ears, but he pretended not to know.

Because of this, Li Jue was tormented every night and hesitated.

On one side is the young biological son, on the other side is the nephew who is getting better and better, they are all the younger generation of his relatives, but there is only one Li family, and the head of the family can only be one of them.

While hesitating, Li Jue knew that a decision had to be made early on this matter; otherwise, once he returned to Chang'an, with Yang's participation in it, the conflict might be intensified, and then turned into enemies.

Therefore, taking advantage of Li Li's further recognition from the generals, Li Jue planned the last test, the purpose of which was to see how Li Li made a decision.

If he is willing to establish his own family, then I will help him rebuild his home as much as possible; if he covets the position of the head of the Li family, that is, the property of the Li family, then the relationship between uncle and nephew will come to an end.The help I can give him is limited to three thousand cavalry from the Longxiang Battalion and a post as a lieutenant in the partial army.In addition, I will not provide any assistance to prevent him from being greedy and coveting more things that do not belong to him.

Fortunately, Li Li's final decision was very wise and decisive.

The decisiveness was somewhat beyond Li Jue's expectations, and it could almost be regarded as going out of the house and fending for itself.

At least in Li Jue's view, the Three Thousand Longxiang Camp and Li Fu's father and son are really nothing. You must know that in the Li Mansion in Chang'an City, there are still three thousand parts and more than 1000 strong domestic servants. All are elite soldiers who have lost their military status and are willing to enter the Li family as servants.

In addition, the Li family has amassed a large amount of money over the years. Although it can't be said that the wealth is incomparable to a country, it is enough to supply ten thousand soldiers and horses for ten years.

However, Li Li voluntarily gave up all of this, and the family of Li's parents and the second house represented by Li Jue were divided into two.

From then on, Li Jue represented the direct branch of the Li family, while the brothers Li Li and Li Xian became side branches, and they wanted to leave the Li family and establish their own family.

This is the cruel fate of the family's children. Although the Li family is far from being comparable to those centuries-old families, it is also a newly rising upstart.Among the children of the family, there are also ranks and ranks, and they will not easily hand over the orthodox position of the family to nephews and relatives.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was a dynasty in which the power of the Huaxia family rose, which determined the change of dynasties in the following hundreds of years. It was also a typical example of family-style development that dignitaries emulated in the millennium history of later generations.

The next day, the siege of Chenliu continued.

After the defeat in the first battle, the Xiliang army changed its siege strategy and adopted Li Li's catapult for long-range strikes instead of sending a large number of infantry to forcibly attack the city.

At present, the throwing range of the catapult is limited, which is far less powerful than the thunderbolt chariot in the Cao Wei period, which can only throw stones for more than a hundred steps.

When attacking, a large number of giant shield soldiers are needed to cover the slingshot soldiers, so as not to be shot by the crossbowmen on the top of the city.

After changing the siege tactics, the [-] Xiliang Army has enough troops to mobilize a large number of soldiers to vigorously cut down trees, make a large number of ladders and simple giant wooden assault vehicles.

Although it is also called a "chariot", it is actually pulled by war horses and has no decent wheels; there are only two pieces of logs as the rims of the chariot wheels, and a pointed end several feet long and thick as a barrel is mounted on the chariot. The log, pulled by the running horses, hit the city gate.
