Immediately, he remembered that the Xiliang soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command had raided and looted everywhere since they entered the Eastern Capital Luoyang the year before last.

Over time, no matter whether they were powerful families or ordinary people, they all feared Xiliang soldiers like tigers and avoided them.

Dong Zhuo dominated the government and the public, and he did evil for two years, but he ruined the reputation of the entire Yongliang army.

Since then, the label of cruelty and greed has been firmly attached to all Xiliang soldiers, and it is deeply ingrained and cannot be easily washed off.

Even though Li Li wanted to change the behavior of the Xiliang soldiers, he was humble and powerless, so he couldn't do anything for the time being.

However, these are not unchangeable. As long as military discipline is strictly enforced and control is strengthened, the people's bad impression of Xiliang soldiers can be gradually reversed.

In addition, in troubled times, the strong are respected.

No matter how much the people of Sili hated Xiliang soldiers and hated Dong Zhuo, they could do nothing to Dong Zhuo and the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under his command.

More than twenty feudal lords could not wipe out Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang soldiers under his command, so what can ordinary people do?

North City Barracks.

All the soldiers and horses under Li Jue's command were stationed, including [-] cavalry and more than [-] infantry.

In addition, there were more than a thousand soldiers defending the city in Zhongmu County, totaling more than [-] soldiers and horses.

In name, all these soldiers and horses belonged to Li Jue's control and had the right to mobilize and command.It is not the case.

The soldiers and horses that really belonged to Li Jue were only his own troops and horses, three thousand Longxiang Battalion and more than five thousand elite infantry.

In addition, other soldiers and horses belong to each other and have their own leading captains.

There is only one thousand-man team in Li Li's department, all of them are war cavalry, and it is one of the three thousand-man team of Longxiang Battalion.

This time he returned to the camp after recovering from injuries, Li Li brought Li Fu and others straight to the Chinese army's tent.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

Li Jue sits in the middle, is in charge of the whole army, and is the commander in chief.

Kneeling on his right hand is a sturdy general who is about the same age as Li Jue, with an eight-foot body, a pumpkin face, a big beard, a pair of thick tiger eyebrows, single eyelids, and small eyes. When he smiles, his eyes narrow into a slit. .

This is Guo Si, who is also one of the five generals of the Xiliang Army, ranking after Li Jue.

He and Li Jue are sworn brothers who have known each other for many years and are confidantes of each other.

In addition, the two advanced and retreated together, shared honor and disgrace, and had a high prestige among Xiliang soldiers, and they were deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo.

While Li Li was recuperating from his injuries, Guo Si made a special trip to visit him twice. His straightforward words and kind demeanor made him feel like a family member.

Except for Guo Si, Li Li knew the names of the other seven generals in the big tent, but he didn't know the names, and he didn't dare to greet them casually, so as not to reveal their identities.

"General, Captain Li Li of Longxiang Battalion has returned from injury, please show me!"

Although he and Li Jue are uncles and nephews, etiquette cannot be broken, and the army has its own rules in the army.

Li Li is a real soldier from later generations, and he has a deep understanding of military discipline.As soon as he entered the big tent, he bowed and saluted, his behavior was extremely thoughtful, almost impeccable.

Because Li Li was Li Jue's nephew, the sergeants outside the tent did not stop him at all, and let him go straight into the commander's tent.

"Huh? Lil!"

Immediately, everyone in the handsome tent looked at Li Li in astonishment, and Li Jue was even more dazed.

He was whispering and laughing with Guo Si just now, but he didn't expect Li Li to be so courteous when he suddenly entered the tent.

In the past, Li Li was not like this. He was careless, frivolous, active, and informal.

After being slightly stunned, Li Jue smiled and said, "Hehehe! Li'er is here, sit down and talk quickly. There are no outsiders here, don't be so formal, just be casual, no one will blame you!"

After Li Li heard the words, he stood up and bowed slightly to the generals on both sides, then walked to the last seat on the right and knelt down.

After watching his nephew take his seat, Li Jue said with a smile: "Li'er came just in time, our army will take the initiative to attack tomorrow, and once again raise troops to conquer Zhu Jun.

This time, try to break Zhu Jun's lair in one fell swoop, end the war as soon as possible, and also follow the Prime Minister's order, and move to Chenliu to capture the traitor Zhang Miao. "

"Uncle, my injury has healed, and I am ready to be dispatched by the general at any time!"

Li Li was slightly startled, and immediately got up and said.

Li Jue looked very happy at this time, turned his head and looked at Guo Bang, and smiled without saying a word.

Immediately, Guo Si said with a smile: "Hehehe! Li'er is a young hero, extremely brave, and everyone in the army knows it!

In the last battle, you rode alone into the enemy's formation and beheaded 130 two enemy shield soldiers. You were extremely brave, and your combat exploits ranked first in the entire army.

After the war, your uncle and I jointly made a petition for you, and the prime minister granted you the promotion to the post of Sima of the Longxiang camp, to assist your uncle in taking charge of the Longxiang camp! "

"Oh?" Li Li was slightly surprised and let out a sigh.

A moment later, he said with a silly smile: "Hehehe! Uncle Guo, what happened? Why didn't there be any rumors before? My nephew was young and reckless, and he was quite surprised to receive such a generous gift from Xiangguo for a little credit.

Uncle Guo, will it be difficult to convince the public if I assist my uncle in running the Longxiang camp? "

"Hahaha!"

Li Li's words made all the generals in the handsome tent burst into laughter.

However, the eyes they looked at Li Li became more and more kind. They didn't feel dissatisfied at all because Li Li was rewarded for his meritorious service. Instead, they praised his humble attitude.

Regarding Li Li's injury and promotion, this was originally expected by the generals in the big account.

After all, the chief general, Li Jue, is a direct confidant of Xiangguo Dong Zhuo, and he will definitely not treat Li Li who was injured due to the war badly, and some rewards are inevitable.

What's more, in the previous battle, Li Li was indeed extremely brave and killed many enemies. This is a fact obvious to all soldiers in the army.

This time, Li Li's promotion to the Sima of another department is indeed well deserved, and no one would be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Li Lizhi's words, in the eyes of the generals, are not immature words, but an expression of humility and courtesy, which won the hearts of the people.

After laughing, Li Jue said with a smile: "Li'er, this time you were promoted to the Sima of another department, it is all because of your bravery in fighting the enemy, and no one in the whole army refuses to accept it.

In addition, General Niu Fu also rewarded you with a Dawan horse, ten gold coins, and some excellent Shu brocades.I'll have the sergeant deliver it to you later. "

After Li Li heard the words, he said without hesitation: "Uncle, the last battle was all due to the heroic efforts of all the soldiers to kill the enemy, not me alone.

This time, I have been promoted to Sima of another department, but I dare not accept money and silks.

It's better to take out the gold and silver and add some meat to the soldiers. The battle is coming, so it is necessary to let the soldiers have a good meal!As for the silk and satin, if you generals don't dislike it, share it!
