Xiaoqi

This is the chariot of Li Li's family, escorted by five thousand golden guard cavalry along the way, rushing from Meiwu to the front line of Hangu.

In the chaotic times of war, many people have already forgotten the time, and their minds are full of survival and escape, and there is no concept of Chinese New Year at all.

However, Li Li's wives and concubines know that their husband has a special feeling for the Chinese New Year.

In the past, at the end of the year, Li Li felt a little depressed, and seemed to have irreparable shortcomings, revealing a rare sentimental and tender side.

Until last year, with the birth of several children, Li Li finally smiled and stopped drinking alone to mourn.

As Li Li's wives and concubines, Li Xin, Dong Wan, Ren Hongchang, Cai Yan, and Dian Wuxia all know that although their husband is regarded by the world as an iron-blooded and ruthless overlord, he is actually a good man who cares about his family and cares about his family and family very much. reunion.Regardless of whether others care about the New Year, Li Li's house is decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the New Year every year. For this reason, Li Li spends thousands of dollars without frowning and never gets tired of it.

Therefore, despite the stalemate in the Hangu Pass, and it is inconvenient for women to bring their children to live in the barracks, Li Xin and the others still took their children to the front line to reunite with Li Li and celebrate the New Year with him without hesitation.

The Chinese military tent located in the middle of the camp, although the conditions are simple, but the tent is huge, equivalent to a barracks where thousands of people are stationed.Such a large handsome tent was originally a bit empty and wasteful, but after Li Xin, Cai Yan and others moved in with their children.There is constant laughter inside and outside the handsome tent, and from time to time you can see a few babbling children chasing and frolicking.This made the soldiers of Xiliang, who had long been accustomed to fighting and bloodshed, feel very warm, watching the scenes of the protagonist Li Li's children crying and making noise.Invisibly touched their softest hearts, thus arousing their determination to win and their belief in swearing allegiance to the lord.

The warm time is always very short, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Ten days ago, Li Li personally sent away his wife and children. Eleven wives and six children were all sent to Chang'an. It is expected that they should have arrived in Chang'an safely by now.

On February [-], the sky was clear.The warm sunshine shines on the earth, and all creatures that have been silent for a winter welcome the spring breeze that grows and blooms again.

Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle between the Xiliang army and the allied princes, February [-].The dragon looked up.

On the gate tower of the main gate of Hangu Pass, Li Li stood on the railing and meditated for a long time.Today, he did not look at the former allied camp in Loudi, but stood with his back to the allied army.Quietly looking at the high mountains to the west.That is the direction where Chang'an City is located.

"Tom, tom, tom!"

A sound of steady and powerful footsteps came from far and near, reaching Li Li's ears, but he didn't turn his head to look, and still stood still, looking at the west with a calm expression.

Li Zhi, who was standing outside the pavilion, heard the sound and walked up to him lightly. After the visitor reached the top of the wall, a smile appeared on his cold and stiff face, and there was a bit of respect in his eyes.

"The commander came so quickly. It took more than a thousand miles in half a month, and it was a hard journey." Li Zhi smiled knowingly.

"Zicheng has served as the commander of the personal guards for more than two years. Don't call me 'commander' again, Dian really can't afford it!" The visitor walked up to meet Li Zhi, holding Li Zhi's arm tightly and laughing loudly.

It is true that there is only one person among the Xiliang generals who can still be called "commander" by Li Zhi, and that is the evil Lai Dianwei who was ordered to switch defenses with Ma Chao this time.

Li Li's first personal guard commander was Dian Wei. For about two years, Li Zhi was his lieutenant general at that time. After the reorganization of the Xiliang Army, Dian Wei stepped down from his position as the personal guard commander and transferred to Huben. The camp owner will lead.It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zhi is a general trained by Dian Wei. Perhaps he did not teach Li Zhi too many military strategies, but how to be a good guard commander who always protects Li Li's safety, He is absolutely unabashedly imparting everything.And many of Li Zhi's current habits and taciturn personality are also derived from this, almost exactly the same as Dian Wei back then.

Therefore, to this day, Li Zhi still respects Dian Wei very much, and when they meet, he still calls Dian Wei the commander, as if he regards himself as a subordinate.

This shows that Li Zhizhi is loyal and pure, and for three years as a day, he still maintains his old disposition and never forgets his roots.Otherwise, with his status today, he is the commander of the personal guards and he is trusted by Li Li. He is regarded by Li Li as a brother of a different surname, and his status and power are already higher than Dian Wei. There is no need to be so polite to Dian Wei.

You must know that now all civil servants and generals of the Xiliang Army have to politely address Li Zhi as "commander" or "General Zicheng" when they see Li Zhi, and any memorials and secret reports on Li Lishuai's case must be forwarded by him. go up.This is the innate advantage of a confidant and close minister, and it is also a kind of power over ten thousand people. No one in Xiliang, civil and military, dares to underestimate him.

Just as Li Zhi and Dian Wei were reminiscing about the past, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fazheng and others who went upstairs with Dian Wei saw the protagonist Li Li looking back to the west, standing in thought.Immediately, Jia Xu said softly: "General Zicheng, the lord has been standing on the tower for a long time, I wonder if I can meet the lord at this time?"

"A whole hour." Li Zhi continued, "My lord has already ordered you to go there on your own, there is no need to report."

"Thank you Zicheng." Dian Wei, Jia Xu and others heard the sound of thanks, then walked quickly into the pavilion and bowed to Li Li.

"I'm waiting to meet the lord!"

Li Li turned around slowly, with a smile on his face, waved his hands to signal everyone to get up, then looked at Dian Wei, and said with a smile: "I'm tired all the way, why don't you take a rest, tomorrow will be a bloody battle!"

Indeed, since May last year, Dian Wei led the Huben camp to fight against the barbarian army of the Huns, and then followed Zhou Yu to fight continuously, from the Shuobei grassland to Shangdang County in Bingzhou. It was only at the end of last year that he was able to take a breather.Unexpectedly, just after the New Year's Eve, he received Li Li's transfer order to transfer the Huben Camp to Hanyang County and hand it over to Ma Chao to command, while he rushed to Hangu Camp to take over the Longxiang Camp and exchanged defenses with Ma Chao.

For eight months, Dian Wei has been running around and fighting. It is really hard work and hard work.

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. The general will not be tired. Even if he goes to battle immediately, the general will not frown!" Dian Wei replied in a loud voice.

Li Li walked up to Dian Wei with a smile, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "If you say you're not tired, you must be lying. Evil is also made of flesh and blood, not steel and iron. He has been fighting for more than half a year." After fighting, how can you not be tired. How about this, the Longxiang Battalion is supported by Li Zheng, so there will be no problems. If the evil comes today, you can take a good rest for a day, recharge your energy, and wait for the decisive battle between the two armies tomorrow, and you still need to charge forward! "

"This..." Dian Wei was stunned when he heard the words, hesitating and not knowing how to answer.

Li Li waved his hands and said with a smile: "You don't need to talk too much when you are evil, go and rest. This is a military order, do you still want to resist it? Hehehe!"

"Promise, the general will obey!" Seeing that Li Li was not joking, Dian Wei immediately accepted the order, turned around and strode away.

Watching Dianwei leave, Li Li smiled and said to Fazheng, "I haven't seen you in half a year, Xiaozhi has become more calm and capable, congratulations! I don't know how Bingzhou is now, but Gongjin is ready to send troops?"

Fazheng said in a respectful voice: "My lord, starting from last September, Shang Shuling successively transferred hundreds of civil servants from Chang'an Taiyuan College and Yongliang Prefecture to Shuobei Grassland and counties in Bingzhou. At present, the counties and counties tend to be stable and orderly. According to the Lord's military order, General Zhou Yu mobilized [-] troops from Bingzhou County and secretly dispatched troops to Hedong County five days ago. They must be ready now. Just wait for the decisive battle between the two armies tomorrow, and General Zhou Yu can lead troops to attack Hedong County."

"Fifty thousand soldiers from the county?" Li Li was slightly startled when he heard the sound, and then he laughed and said, "It seems that Gong Jin has received a lot of surrendered soldiers in Bingzhou, and after transferring away from the Huben camp, there are still [-] mobile troops, which can be described as a surprise. !"

"My lord's words are very true." Fazheng nodded happily, and said, "By the end of last year, after our army recovered the entire territory of Bingzhou, we had recruited more than [-] soldiers from Bingzhou. In addition, our army also took in and surrendered more than [-] barbarian soldiers, plus our original [-] troops from the Northern Expedition. Excluding the casualties during the attack on Bingzhou and the Huben camp that was ordered to be transferred away, General Zhou Yu now has nearly ten soldiers in his tent. Thousands of soldiers and horses. Because of this, General Zhou Yu was able to mobilize [-] infantry to attack Hedong County this time, and the rest of the troops were stationed in Bingzhou and Xiongnu Grassland, which was slightly insufficient. However, General Zhou Yu sent troops in secret this time, and his whereabouts were concealed. , unknown; therefore, no one would dare to attack Bingzhou in the short term."

"Well, that's very good." Li Li nodded with a smile, and then said to Fazheng: "After several years of experience, filial piety has become an important task, so stay with me for the time being as a general to join the army and lead the Puppet General. There are arrangements."

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation, and I will swear to serve you to my lord at the end!" Fazheng bowed and responded with a smile on his face.

Seeing Fazheng's excited expression, Li Li, Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and smiled: "Hahaha"

While laughing, Li Li gazed intently at the camp of the Allied army, and muttered in a low tone: "More than half of the princes in the world are gathered in this big village in front of us, and there are many traitors and tyrants with great potential among them. Those who should come They are here, and those who shouldn't be here are here, it can be said that all the heroes of the world are gathered inside and outside Hangu Pass."

"Tomorrow's battle will completely change the pattern of the world, and will directly determine the fate of the Han Dynasty. The struggle for hegemony in troubled times will begin from this battle. After this battle, the situation where all the heroes will rise together will end here. There will be princes rising again, and then the real princes will fight for hegemony!"

Chapter 712 The Battle of Loudiyuan

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

The sky is white, and a ray of morning sun cuts through the layers of fog and brings a ray of light to the earth, kicking off the prelude to the struggle against the severe cold.

Immediately, the sun rose and the bright rainbow crossed the sky, forcing the morning fog to recede and the severe cold to be frustrated.

The warm sun won a big victory, illuminating the entire sky and filling the world with warmth.

The sun is shining in the sky, and the sky is beautiful.

Outside Hangu Pass, the ice and snow melted, and everything revived.

The thatched grass is showing its sharp corners, and the young leaves are full of dew, exuding a faint fragrance.

What a vibrant scene!

"Da da da boom boom!"

On Loudi Plain, war horses neigh and the earth roars.

On the east side facing the sun, the gates of the Allied Army Dazhai are wide open.

A row of allied soldiers in gold and iron armor stepped out of the gate and stopped in formation on the wasteland ten miles away, forming six "infantry phalanxes"; the momentum is magnificent.

Teams of warriors and prancing horses are galloping, stepping on the fresh green horse grass that has just emerged into the soil, and waiting in line on the two wings of the wasteland, forming a "wild goose formation" flying with both wings; the warriors are vertical and horizontal.

Tens of thousands of shield soldiers walked to the front with neat steps, and then they fought their shields and stomped on the ground. Their spears were placed on the shields to form a "black turtle gathering spirit array"; they were mighty and majestic.

As many as [-] archers followed closely behind the giant shield soldiers, put on their bows and drew up their bows, ready to go, and formed a "long snake formation" in front of the Chinese army formation;
