Xiaoqi

After setting up the big camp at night, Li Li recruited all the generals into the big tent and made arrangements for the whole army.

First of all, the personal army was expanded to 1000 people, equipped with war horses, formed the Longxiang Guard, and appointed Dian Wei as the commander of the Longxiang Guard.

The iron cavalry of the Longxiang camp remained unchanged. Li Li personally served as the commander of the Longxiang camp, and Li Zheng, Bo Cai and Li Xian were the deputy commanders, each leading a team of one thousand.

Combine the 300 Qingqi under Fan Yong and the remaining [-] war cavalry into one army to form the Feixiong Battalion, which has the same name as Dong Zhuo's personal army, and appoint Fan Yong as its commander.

The remaining more than 1000 infantry were combined into a supply battalion, led by Li Dian.

Ever since Li Dian was forced to serve in the supply camp, Li Li treated him like other generals. He was given the duties he deserved, and the living allowances he deserved were allotted in full.

And every time Li Li assigns tasks, he doesn't ask Li Dian for his opinion, but gives orders directly, arbitrarily and without refusal.

After doing this once or twice, Li Dian still complained, but he dared not refuse to execute it.

But as Li Li's orders became more and more frequent, he gradually got used to this way of being forced to accept orders. He was promoted in a leap in the supply camp, and now he is the commander of the supply camp.

After being in contact with Li Li for a long time, Li Dian found that Li Li was not as hateful as he imagined.He is strict in running the army, and has clear rewards and punishments. It seems that he is born to command an army.

However, Li Dian still has a grudge in his heart, and he still treats Li Li as a general, and he never talks to him much, let alone private conversations.

It's just that he and the other generals in the army quickly integrated into it.None of the generals mentioned what happened in the big tent in Dongyang Valley that day, and they called him brother and brother without any scruples, and got along very well.

In the following ten days, Li Li's army traveled all the way west, passed through Youfufeng County, turned northwest, and entered Anding County.

At this point, Li Li and his party finally set foot on the boundary of Liangzhou. As long as they pass through Anding and bypass Jincheng, they can reach Wuwei County.

After setting foot on the border of Liangzhou, Li Li raised his eyes and looked far away, and his heart suddenly widened.

Here the sky is high and the clouds are light, the mountains and rivers are densely covered, and the canyons and ravines are interlaced.There are both endless grasslands and deserts filled with flying sand; most of the scenes that should exist in the world are gathered here.

The sky is high and the earth is wide, the auspicious clouds are flowing, gorgeous and brilliant, deep and magical.

This is the mysterious ancient road of the Western Regions, the place where gold and iron horses compete, and it is also the cradle of dreams.

Chapter 56 Never Returning Home at Night

Non-stop all the way, day and night.

Half a month later, Li Li's army arrived at Maple Leaf Canyon at the northwest end of Anding County.

This is the junction of Anding County, Beidi County and Wuwei County. There are many mountains and rivers, ravines and ravines, and there are hundreds of miles of desolate and uninhabited areas.

The reason why Li Li decided to go here was because he wanted to avoid Jincheng far away, and as long as he crossed the canyon, he could go straight to the boundary of Wuwei County.

The mouth of the valley to the south of Maple Leaf Gorge.

Before the sun set, Li Lijun stationed his troops here and set up a large camp in the wilderness to the south.

Inside Cai Yan's tent of the rear army.

"Yan'er, Yu'er, it's really hard for you these days. You have been suffering from the bumps, eating and sleeping in the open air. When I arrive in Guzang City, I will definitely send someone to find some rare medicinal materials to comfort you!"

Li Li walked into the big tent with light steps, and when he saw Cai Yan and Chen Yu's two daughters looking tired and dusty, he immediately felt very sorry.

When the second daughter saw Li Li getting into the account, she didn't get up, and directly made room for Li Li beside her, letting him sit beside her.

Only in this way, there is an empty seat next to the two women, but the two of them are close to each other.

After a little hesitation, Li Li went straight to Cai Yan and sat down, putting his left hand on Cai Yan's shoulder.

A blush suddenly appeared on Cai Yan's cheeks, "You are still like this, how many times have I told you, don't touch your hands. Sister Yu'er is here, you can't save face for others, and hurt me Yu'er makes fun of her every time."

Chen Yu always defended Li Li at this time, and this time was no exception.

"Sister, it doesn't matter. No one in the army knows about your relationship with Wenchang, so don't avoid me! Besides, who made you so plump, my little sister wants someone to mess with me, but it's a pity that that person sees you." Not on me."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, she looked at Li Li with a resentful face, and there was boundless affection in her eyes.

She has this kind of personality, she dares to love and hate, and when she falls in love with Li Li, she dares to speak out without any scruples.

Li Li did not refute the words of the two daughters, nor did he defend himself. He hugged Cai Yan with a smile on his face, enjoying the moment of tranquility in the rush.

"Stop making fun of each other, you two. You look like one person on weekdays. Why do you pinch me when I come here? Yu'er, I know what you mean. It's just that you are still young, and I am not that old. Daddy, let's all wait; maybe one day you will find out that maybe I'm not the best thing you can rely on.

Yan'er is different from you.She has long been my number one concubine, and she has agreed.Is that so, Yaner? "

"Hmph! You are too thick-skinned! Is that what I promised? I was not forced by you, so I could only swallow my fate. Who told me to be... Hey, let's not talk about it, take advantage of it. Since the sun has not set yet, let's go to the mountain to have a look?"

Cai Yan can't let go of her status as a widow.

However, as she got farther and farther away from Chang'an City, her true character gradually emerged, magnanimous and graceful, lively and active, and she likes to pursue the beautiful things in nature.

Chen Yu and Xiao Nizi are almost inseparable from Cai Yan recently. The two sleep together in the same car, and their relationship gets better day by day, like sisters.

Cai Yan's personal maid, Xiaohuan, did not follow this time.Perhaps soon after, Xiaohuan will be dismissed by Cai Yong, find a reliable man to marry, and live an ordinary and stable life.

Regarding Cai Yan's proposal, Chen Yu happily agreed with him, and looked at Li Li affectionately with his eyes.

"It's fine to go out for a walk. You've been on your way these days, and the two of you have been huddled in the carriage all day, barely showing your face. Let's go, let's go to the northern mountain to watch the sun set!"

Although Li Li agreed straightforwardly, he was secretly worried in his heart.

Since setting off from Chang'an, the journey has been uneventful, not to mention encountering a large number of enemy troops, but not even a single bandit.

Is the law and order in Anding County really that good?Obviously, the answer is no.

The whole Liangzhou was in chaos, the feudal lords divided their regimes, and bandits were everywhere.How can Anding County stay out of the matter and stand alone?

The most important thing is that ever since stepping into the boundary of Maple Leaf Canyon, Li Li has a throbbing feeling of imminent danger in his heart.

This ability to predict danger was gradually honed in his previous life in the army for more than ten years.Whenever a crisis is approaching, he can sense it in advance.

···················

On the peak north of Maple Leaf Gorge.

The setting sun is shining, and the sky is full of rays.

In the western sky, a fire cloud that is as long as [-] zhang across the sky, setting off the last beauty of the sunset.

The maple trees all over the mountains are now lush, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and they are full of vitality.

Maple trees are most beautiful in autumn, and it is summer at this moment, but it is full of emerald green, and there is no scene of red maple leaves.

"It's so beautiful here! It would be a wonderful thing if we could build a thatched hut here, sit and watch the spring blossoms and autumn fruits, and the four seasons change!"

Cai Yan deserves to be a talented woman, she looked down on fame and fortune, tired of rich clothes and good food, and longed for the gorgeous scenery of nature.
