At today's court meeting, under the instigation of Zhongchang Attendant Li Ru, a group of Xiliang generals pushed Dong Zhuo a small step up from the position of prime minister, and became the grand master, and the little emperor had to bow and salute when he saw him. Call Zhongfu.

Be a teacher for a day and a father for life.

The advantage of the position of grand master is that Dong Zhuo can really ride on the head of the emperor and do his best, unlike before, where he was more or less shy.

In today's Han world, since Zhu Jun's rebel army was wiped out, no prince dared to stand up and challenge Dong Zhuo.

The current Dong Zhuo can be said to be a pack of heroes, and his power shakes the world.

After being slightly distracted, Li Li couldn't help turning his head to look at the Chang'an Imperial City behind him, with a sly smile on his lips.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, why are you smiling so sinisterly? Are you trying to trick me again?"

Chen Yu still hasn't forgotten the way Li Li looked at him three days ago, and asked with a blushing face.

Li Li was taken aback by Chen Yu's words, and said in astonishment: "Yu'er, you are also a girl's family after all, this is the official way in and out of the city, there are many pedestrians, you should be more dignified, so that people can know that you are a lady .

You can't be careless like you are now, in broad daylight, and you dare to say that I have your ideas.You are slandering me, how can I behave like this, even if I have thoughts about you, then I will do it openly, there is no need to be sneaky! "

"You...huh! Even if you have thoughts about this girl, I don't like you or say something. I won't let you get it easily!"

Chen Yu pouted her small cherry mouth, clenched her pink fist and shook Li Li, pretending to look fierce.

It's just that her demeanor, in Li Li's eyes, is a delicate and lovely appearance, which is pleasing to the eye.

Along the way, Li Li and Chen Yu rode side by side, bickering and laughing from time to time, and slowly walked towards the camp of Longxiang.

The valley where the Longxiang camp was stationed was a little far from Chang'an City, and it would take half a day to set up a camp relying on the remaining veins at the western foot of Zhongnan Mountain.

Therefore, when Li Li and his party arrived at the camp in Dongyang Valley, it was already midnight.

The Dongyang Valley camp is very large, enough to station tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Now there are only [-] cavalry, [-] infantry and more than [-] miscellaneous servants stationed, which seems very empty.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

If you encounter a strong enemy, even if you can't resist, you can retreat back into the mountains and enter the Zhongnan Mountains.

Zhongnan Mountain, also known as Nanshan Mountain, runs through more than half of the hinterland of Guanzhong, starting from Meixian County in the west and reaching Lantian in the east.

This is a place of great strategic depth.

When Li Li chose the camp earlier, he did not hesitate to travel long distances to choose this big valley, thinking that this would be a place to hide soldiers for a long time to come.

Even if he is sent out to other counties to garrison troops, Dongyang Valley can't give up. It's no problem to garrison [-] troops.

In addition, there are more than ten large villages in the surrounding area, which can provide some food and grass. In the valley, cattle, sheep, livestock or war horses can also be kept in captivity, and they can also go hunting in the mountains, which is completely self-sufficient.

Therefore, Li Li's investment in this valley is not small, and he almost supports it with all his strength.

It's just that his foundation is too shallow, and he doesn't have enough money and food to support more soldiers at the moment, so he can only take his time and grow stronger step by step.

In the big tent, Li Liduan sat at the main seat.

"My lord, there are more than [-] people in the big camp at present. The salary is sufficient, and the food and grass can last for more than a month. According to the general's order, I bought more than [-] cattle and sheep from the surrounding villages, but the horses are only a few dozen dwarfs. Horses, war horses are not easy to buy.

It is said that the war horses near Jingzhao are all under the control of Zhongchang servants Li Ru and Niu Fu, and it is difficult to buy high-quality Xiliang war horses among the people.The subordinates are entrusted by the general, please punish the general. "

Before the case, Bo Cai respectfully reported the situation of Dongyang Valley to Li Li.

"Bocai, you've done a good job, what's wrong with you! Hehehe!"

Li Li smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Bocai to stand up, "Li Ru and Niu Fu are both close friends of Grand Master Dong, and I expected them to be in charge of the Xiliang war horse. However, Bocai, there are many ways to obtain war horses." , if you really can't buy it, you can take some extraordinary measures!

As far as I know, there are grass bandits in Jingzhaoyin area from time to time, and there are at least dozens of grass bandits within a radius of two hundred miles of Chang'an City.They don't just live by robbing houses, selling war horses is their main livelihood. The number of horses in their hands is not a small number, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

Bo Cai, you can pay attention to this aspect, and take the initiative to attack when you have the opportunity, instead of reporting everything to me.Our Grand Master Dong has always turned a blind eye to this kind of small-scale fight, and ignored it at all.So, you don't need to be scruples, isn't it me who will take care of something? "

"No, this subordinate obeys!"

Bo Cai suddenly patted his disheveled hair, and suddenly realized that he respectfully replied.

"What's the matter, Pocai? Why are you doing this?"

Bo Cai said with some annoyance: "My lord, after you reminded me just now, I know I was wrong. On the hills around our Dongyang Valley, when I just set up my camp the day before yesterday, I found three groups of bandits. The camp peeped around, and then saw that our army was strong, so we retreated quietly.

According to the reports of the scouts, the number of these three groups of bandits is not large, and the total number is only 2000, but they have a good horse, they come and go like the wind, and they move extremely quickly.However, they still failed to escape the eyes of our scouts. Their lair is very close to our camp, and the farthest bandit is only fifty miles away from Dongyang Valley.

Before, I thought that our army had just arrived here, and it would not be easy to move lightly. Besides, we did not report to the general, and our subordinates did not dare to move without authorization.Well now, since the general has an order, then the subordinates will dispatch troops to exterminate them! "

Li Li nodded and said: "Well, after that, you can act according to the camera! How about this, I will go back tomorrow and transfer Li Xian. There is no general in the camp to guard the camp. Let him help you. The infantry camp is still managed by the army. You will be the commander, Li Xian will be the deputy commander, and Li Fu will be in charge of the Longxiang Battalion, so let Li Zheng mobilize a thousand cavalry to cooperate with you in suppressing the bandits."

Chapter 40 Cai Zhonglang's Daughter

In the early morning of the next day, Li Li rode his horse and inspected the Dongyang Valley Camp.

The eight thousand plays in Daying are Li Li's entire family property now, so he has to be extra cautious.

It is said to be a trilogy, but in fact, the only trilogy that is really on the surface is the [-] soldiers stationed in Longxiang Li's mansion.

The Iron Cavalry of the Three Thousand Longxiang Battalion is a war cavalry under his command in name, and Dong Zhuo provides food and wages.

The [-] infantry were soldiers and horses he had recruited privately, and they could not be easily shown to others. He provided for everything he needed, and the burden was extremely heavy.

At present, the money to supply the infantry battalion is still the loot he withheld in Chenliucheng privately, and some extra food and grass provided by Fan Yong, which can barely support it for the time being.

If there is no stable money and food support, the soldiers of the infantry battalion will starve next month.

Li Li had no foundation and no savings in Chang'an City, and his salary could only maintain the daily expenses of the family.

Currently, he is trapped in the city of Chang'an, relying entirely on his salary to survive, without other sources of money and food.

For a while, Li Li was really stumped.

It's just that it's useless to worry about this kind of predicament. As long as he doesn't have his own territory, it's impossible to completely solve the problem of food and wages.

After sneaking around in the camp, Li Li explained to Li Fu, Li Zheng and Bo Cai again.

Delegate power to them, let them have the greatest right to make decisions on the fly as much as possible, without reporting everything, and require them not only to solve the problem of food and grass, but also to train soldiers well.

Afterwards, Li Li and his party left Dongyang Valley again and set off to return to Chang'an.

On the way back to the city, Li Li seemed preoccupied, his brows furrowed.

"Wenchang, are you worried about the food and grass of the army? I heard from the servant that Dong Taishi's Mei Wuli has stored a lot of money and food, enough to supply 30 troops for ten years. Can you ask the grand master for food, really? If it doesn't work, borrow some food and grass for emergency, and return it to him later!"

Seeing Li Liyin's sullen face, Chen Yu felt very uncomfortable, so he said in a relieved manner.

"Ugh! Hahaha!"
