"No, I will follow the Lord's order!" Everyone bowed and obeyed.

Li Li nodded slightly, and said sharply, "From today onwards, my uncle will be in charge of the military administration of Chang'an City. Caravans entering and leaving Chang'an must have the Da Sima Mansion Road Guide, otherwise they will not be allowed to go!"

"promise!"

"Mobilize [-] cavalry from the Jinyi Guards, [-] soldiers from the county government, [-] heavy soldiers, and [-] bow and crossbow battalions. The whole army is ready to go. Five days later, the army will set off, and the Huben Battalion will be the vanguard to fight against the Fuluo barbarian army!"

"No!" Li Li waved his hand as everyone took orders in unison, and immediately strode away from the main hall.

After Li Li left, Li Xuan walked to the center of the main hall, and said with a smile: "Tonight, the General's Mansion is hosting a grand banquet, please drink to your heart's content, and get drunk! This is something my lord has explained before, have you all forgotten it?" ? Hehehe!"

"Uh!" Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and then laughed heartily: "Hahaha"

Chapter 556

General Wei's Mansion.

In the east wing, Li Li pushed the door lightly and came in, followed by Li Zhi, holding some high-quality medicinal herbs in his hand.

In the room, Dian Wei and more than a dozen generals surrounded the couch, and they all comforted Duan Yao who was lying on the couch.

A sixty army stick is enough to beat a second-rate military general to death, and a weak scribe will die, it is hard to escape.

Fortunately, Duan Yan was highly skilled in martial arts, and his physical fitness was far from comparable to that of a scribe. Even so, the Sixty Army Staff beat him to pieces and his flesh was bloody.

"My lord is really angry this time. I've been begging for nothing, but thanks to Da Sima's pleading, otherwise Zhongming's trip will be a disaster!" Before the couch was created, Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Li Meng, and Wang Fang , Guo Meng and other generals are all here, and the speaker is Yang Ding.

Dian Wei, who was also punished, shook his head after hearing the words, and said, "My lord, we are indeed incompetent. We were not able to take precautions. The barbarian army took advantage of our loopholes. We lost troops and generals, lost cities and lands, and caused tens of thousands of people to suffer. We should be punished." This time, the lord has already lenient the net and extended favor outside the law, otherwise, even if we are asked to beheaded, it is also reasonable. Military law is ruthless!"

Li Meng, Wang Fang and the others nodded their heads when they heard the sound, and said in agreement: "What General Dian Wei said is very true. If the Lord does not miss the old love, I am afraid that General Duan will never survive this time, and an unintentional mistake will cause a catastrophe!"

Hu Zhen said with great regret: "It's a pity that Zhongming fought for more than ten years. He finally survived and worshiped as a general and became a marquis. Now that the dynasty has been lost, he has to start all over again. I hate why the Yufuluo barbarian invaded our border at this time. It’s really unexpected and unexpected!”

As Li Li's younger brother, Guo Meng naturally wanted to speak for Li Li at this time: "General Duan, don't worry. The great war is imminent, and the world is full of wars. There are many opportunities to make contributions in the future. It doesn't take three years." Five years. As long as one or two major battles are over, General Duan will regain everything he lost, even more than that."

Duan Yao, who was lying on the couch, was trying not to cry out in pain when he was being tortured, but at this moment he couldn't help but moan in a low voice.The Sixty Army Stick was really a knife, it made his butt bloom, and blood was dripping from the lower back, it was so painful.At this moment, his heart was very complicated, he was both grateful and regretful.There are still some unexplainable emotions.

This time, Duan Yan was mentally prepared for the discussion in the commander-in-chief's mansion, and even made the worst plan to die.However, he also did a lot of work in advance, and he visited all the generals and civil servants who could speak.Reminiscing about the past but not mentioning the matter of intercession.The most critical people among them were Shang Shu Ling Li Xuan, Shi Zhong Li Ru, Military Adviser Jia Xu, and Grand Sima Li Jue.It is the focus of his visit.

to this end.Duan Yao had already arrived in Chang'an eight days ago, and Guo Si, the leader of Qinglong Battalion, was with him.When Duan Yan learned that he had made a big mistake in Guo Bang's big tent that day, all thoughts were really lost, and he was terrified, feeling that a catastrophe was imminent, and his life was at stake.Afterwards, Guo Si persuaded him in every possible way.Let him take the initiative to admit his mistakes and plead guilty, maybe there will be a turning point.After all, all the generals in the army know that the lord Li Lisu is lenient, unless he deliberately violates the general's order.Otherwise, the death penalty will not be easily imposed on the generals under his command.

Because of this, Duan Wei knew that he had made a big mistake, but dared to come to Chang'an to plead guilty, in fact, he was sure that Li Li would not kill him.Suffering for seven or eight days, he finally waited for the commander's mansion to discuss the matter, and it turned out that everything was as Duan Yan expected. In the end, he saved his life, but he also received an unexpected punishment.

According to his expected calculations, this time he committed an unforgivable crime, he will inevitably be punished, but he will not be dismissed from office, at most he will be fined some salary and demoted.But now it was beyond his expectations, he was dismissed from office and received punishment, and after he recovered from his injuries, he was just an insignificant infantry, how embarrassing was this for him!If he had known this would end up like this, he would rather die than start all over again like this.But this is just his thoughts for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. Before that, he only wanted to save his life, and he could give up everything else.However, the human heart is like this, it is difficult to be completely satisfied, and it is human instinct to push forward.

Although Duan Yan felt very useless at this moment, he didn't have the slightest hatred for the lord Li Li, on the contrary, he became more and more in awe.The closer he followed Li Li and the more he knew about him, the more Duan Wei admired Li Li.

In Duan Yan's view, Li Li's trip to the Central Plains seemed reckless and reckless, but it was actually an act of great wisdom and courage. If he was not a hero, he would definitely not dare to take the risk himself.Moreover, Li Li chose the right time to travel. He just chose the time when the situation in the Central Plains was about to become clear, and when the princes from all walks of life were full of ambitions, they traveled to the Central Plains.Once this time period is missed, I am afraid that Li Li will never have the opportunity to travel around the world. He can only conquer states and counties step by step, and perhaps he will be able to see the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and Jingyang.

More importantly, Li Li gained a lot from this trip. He solved the shortage of food and grass in Xiliang army in one fell swoop.

In addition, there is the dragon slaying incident. In fact, the generals in the army know the whole story.However, if you know it, you know that after seeing the dragon, all the civil and military people in Xiliang respected Li Li from the bottom of their hearts, and even many generals respected Li Li like a god, and regarded him as a god-man. A god in the hearts of soldiers.

Therefore, Hugh said that if Duan Yan was severely punished now, even if Li Li beheaded him in court, none of the generals in the army would dare to feel resentment towards Li Li.

"Thank you all the generals for coming to visit, Duan is very grateful." Duan Yan, who was lying on the couch and thinking secretly, thanked the generals in a low voice after hearing the words of the generals.

Immediately he continued: "Duan has committed a felony this time, and the crime is unforgivable. My lord's punishment is indeed benevolent and righteous, and he is extrajudicial. Now Duan is already a pawn. After making meritorious service in the future, he will fight with the generals." Drink the wine. Just as Major General Guo Meng said, it is a time of chaos, as long as Duan survives and fights the enemy bravely in the future, there is no need to worry about it. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about me. Leave for now and wait for the future We will renew our friendship in the next day. Generals, please!"

Duan Yan is a person with a very good face, he has always been reticent, not good at words, and has a withdrawn personality. He has few real friends in the Xiliang Army. Some.However, he is cautious in dealing with things and will not offend people easily.So after so many years, I have accumulated some contacts.

Now, he has been dismissed from office, and suddenly he feels that his status is very different from the generals in front of his bed, and he feels quite ashamed to see others.Therefore, he has already thanked the guests, and wants to be alone to clean up and sort out his thoughts, or to lick the calf's wound alone and chat to masturbate.

After hearing the words, the generals were a little stunned.Afterwards, they could also understand Duan Yan's current mood, so they bowed their hands and prepared to leave.

"My lord? The last general is waiting to see you!" Turning around, the generals saw Li Li and Li Zhi standing at the door, as if they had been in for a long time.

"Hehehe! You don't have to be polite. Just leave, I just want to talk to Zhongming." Li Li walked to the bed with a smile.He waved his hand to signal the generals to leave.

"The last general is rude. Please forgive me, my lord." On the couch, Duan Yan struggled to get up and saluted hurriedly.

Li Li casually held Duan Yan who was about to stay on the bed: "Zhong Ming is injured, so why be polite. Lie down quickly, lest the wound bleed again and add to the injury."

Duan Yan lay sideways on the couch.He panicked and said: "The guilty minister thanked the lord for not killing me! This time I was indeed negligent and made a big mistake, and now I think about it and regret it. The lord punished me today, and I am convinced by Duan Yan. I have done it myself and deserved to be punished."

Li Li nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Let the past be the past. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done wrong, you will be punished. This is an eternal iron law in the army. No one can surpass it, otherwise I will definitely punish you severely. Zhong Ming’s mistake has already been punished, so let’s expose this matter and never bring it up again. As long as Zhong Ming learns his lesson, he will not repeat the same mistakes in the future.”

"Thank you, my lord, for your forgiveness, and my subordinates will definitely remember my lord's teachings!" Duan Yan replied respectfully.

Li Li patted Duan Yan's shoulder lightly, and said in relief: "Speaking carefully, Zhong Ming's fault this time has something to do with me. During his previous trip to the Central Plains, Zhong Ming worked diligently to protect my safety along the way. After returning to Xiliang, I originally let you rest for half a month, but you didn't rest for a moment, and immediately returned to the barracks to guard the border. However, this time when Yu Fuluo's army attacked the pass, it happened that Zhong Ming left the camp because of something, so disaster happened. Therefore However, Zhong Ming's fault is unforgivable, but there are excusable circumstances.

The reason why I severely punished Zhong Ming today is because the war is imminent and military discipline cannot be relaxed, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that such things will not happen again.Therefore, I can only wrong Zhongming and make you suffer.However, Zhong Ming has always been loyal, I know these things well, and when Zhong Ming makes new achievements in the future, I will reward him together! "

"My lord! I,,," Li Li's words made Duan Yan's eyes filled with tears, and he was choked up and speechless.

Li Li patted the back of Duan Yan's hand, nodded heavily, and said with concern: "Zhong Ming is at peace of mind, I will bring you some self-made medicinal powder, I believe your injury will recover soon. After the injury, Zhong Ming will be with me Temporarily serve as the head of the personal army, and after this battle, we will discuss meritorious service and reward."

After speaking, Li Li got up slowly, motioned Li Zhi to apply medicine to Duan Yan, and left with a smile.

"Respectfully send off the lord!" Seeing Li Li turn and leave, Duan Yan said respectfully.

After leaving the East Wing, Li Li walked slowly towards the backyard, thinking calmly as he walked.

"Is this what you mean by slapping a sweet date?" Dian Wuxia walked over to Li Li just after turning the corner and walked into the corridor.

Li Li smiled knowingly, and said: "How can there be no military discipline in controlling the army? Those who have made meritorious deeds must be rewarded and those who have done so must be punished. Only in this way can they be convincing. There is no rule without rules. Some things must be curbed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless disasters in the future."

Dian Wuxia walked up to Li Li's side, took his arm, and said softly with winking eyes like silk: "Avoid the important and let the light go. You are too cunning and never answer people's questions directly. Husband, if you don't Uncle begs for mercy, do you really want to kill Duan Yao?"

"What do you think?" Li Li asked back, and then said with a smile: "You, don't ask more about this kind of thing in the future, take care of the children with peace of mind, and concentrate on being a good wife and mother!"

Dian Wuxia smiled charmingly, and said softly: "I know you want a child, but unfortunately the Governor's Mansion is hundreds of miles away, the child is too young to withstand the long journey, so our sisters left the child in Hanyang. , let's go back immediately and take good care of your precious son, so it's okay for the head office!"

"What are you talking about? That's my son, isn't it your son!" Li Li said in amazement.

Then he shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't quarrel with you anymore. In fact, I know that you have rushed to Chang'an just to see me before I set out on the expedition. I cherish this affection very much. So far we have been separated for more than half a year, let you suffer Already!"

Dian Wuxia was extremely shy when he heard the words, and whispered in his ear: "Since my husband knows, then I must work hard these few days. Last night it was the eldest sister and the three of them. Tonight, the concubine will give up the spot to the younger sister of the trainer. All good things will be left to my husband." Occupied. Giggle!"

"Trainer? Forget it." Li Li shook his head slightly, his expression slightly gloomy, as if he still had a shadow over the tragedy in Bufu.

"This,,, well, everything is up to the husband." Dian Wuxia replied softly after a little hesitation.

"Tell Xiner, take good care of the trainer, and don't let her be wronged." After speaking, Li Li said nothing more, and walked slowly into the backyard with Dian Wuxia.
