"Rui'er, what's the result of exploring the river with Dr. Chen these days?" Li Xian asked, picking up the bowl.
Wang Rui wiped his mouth that was chewing pig's trotters, and said with a glossy mouth: "Father, we recently investigated and found that the Jianwei River is the widest, where the two rivers converge, but..."
Li Xian asked casually: "Just what?"
"It's just that bandits are a bit rampant there. After all, the river is wide and the Sichuan army is not good at water warfare. Therefore, Uncle Dali sent hundreds of people to protect Dr. Chen when he went out, so he was barely okay."
Li Xian nodded when he heard the words and said nothing. There was really no better way now, and wiping out Qianwei's water bandits was not something that could happen overnight.
Qianwei is now Yibin. This place is where the Min River and the Yangtze River converge, forming a natural landscape and dangerous obstacles. It is surrounded by lush water, grass, and trees, but it is also the best hiding place for bandits.
Not long after, it was late at night and the family dinner was finally over. Wang Rui was forced to stay by Li Jun and stayed overnight in Li's house. However, Li Xian returned to his room and quietly looked at the moon in trance. Today has already passed. After receiving His Majesty's military order, we will gather at the Chengdu campus tomorrow, but somehow I feel that this battle that did not exist in the historical plane is extremely difficult to fight...
Inside the Chengdu Post Office.
Deng Zhi and Sun Chong sat opposite each other, watching the secret letter that Li Xian personally handed over to him by the dim candlelight.
Deng Zhi looked more and more in disbelief. He was stunned for a long time before speaking: "Brother Sun, are you sure this was given to you by the champion?"
Sun Chong nodded, his face still calm: "I had read this secret letter that day, but I felt that the plan in it was too sinister, and I didn't dare to tell anyone."
Deng Zhi shook his head: "Brother Sun only knows one but not the other. Although this strategy is sinister, if used properly, Wu's national power will only grow stronger. How can the champion know that this strategy is feasible?"
Sun Chong also shook his head, sighed helplessly and said: "No one knows what the general is thinking now. Does he really expect us to complete all the tasks above the secret letter after we enter Wu?"
Deng Zhiyan said: "Brother Sun, from my point of view, the Marquis has not set a time limit. In other words, he does not care about the completion time, but he cares about whether we can start this plan after we enter Wu."
Sun Chong was a little confused and asked: "Then how should we start?"
Deng Zhi said: "Now the Marquis is building momentum for you in Sichuan, saying that he can repel Cao Rui's personal expedition, all because the prime minister listened to your strategy, but the gentry in the court are targeting you, and they can't understand that you were born as a merchant, and now you have joined Wu. In order to develop his grand ambitions. As far as I know, the Kingdom of Wu is now divided into two factions, one is Prince Sun He, and the other is King Sun Ba of Lu. Both of them receive the same treatment and expenses. What the Marquis means is that I hope you can assist the more powerful ones. Cowardly prince, grandson and superior. For the present plan, we can only wait for His Majesty’s imperial edict to send us as an envoy, and then you and I will go to the Kingdom of Wu.”
Deng Zhi paused and then said: "However, it is a bit difficult to contact Sun He directly, but his mother, the Wang family, is relatively luxurious in food and clothing, and likes to collect rare treasures among merchants. I don't know that Sun He Brother, do you have something valuable on your hands?"
Sun Chong nodded, took out a luminous pearl as big as the mouth of a bowl from his arms, and said: "This is the luminous pearl in Nanzhong. Although luminous pearls are not rare in Nanzhong, a luminous pearl with such luster and roundness is indeed a rare item, and so is the one below." Acquired by accident.”
After hearing this, Deng Zhi carefully observed the luminous pearl in Sun Chong's hand. It really illuminated the room as bright as day and was as big as a pebble. No flaws could be seen at all. He was immediately overjoyed. Then he secretly had a contest in his heart and asked Sun Chong to put it away. Zhuzi, left first.
The next day, on the Chengdu campus, the three armies were ready. On the left were Tian Dali and Gong Jie, and on the right were Xu Zhi, Zhao Tong, and Li Xian with Wang Rui and Fu Qian standing in the middle army. Behind him were eight thousand Euphorbia soldiers and eight Qian Tengjia and cavalry stood in unison.
But I heard a long cry: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
The three armies knelt down in unison.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict said: The right general Li Xian is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery. He is marching across the south and the middle. The barbarians are convinced. He raises his troops to go north. Three thieves are led by him. He chases them to the north. He defeats more than ten thousand enemies. He drives the enemy chiefs to Tongguan and kills the thieves. At the Wei River, Wei Huo's Yapi also added Li Xian as the general of chariots and cavalry. He was rewarded as before and led the governor of Yong'an to resist Soochow. General Tian Dali was born in the army. He served the country with loyalty and courage. He was a happy general who defeated the enemy. Lin's military formation, identifying the enemy chief among millions of troops, is now promoted to Polu General, General Xu Zhi is unparalleled in bravery, and is promoted to Fenwei Xiaowei. Generals Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong, after being loyal and loyal, are now included in Li Xian's tribe and are promoted to The Tun Cavalry Colonel and the Infantry Army Colonel, General Gong Jie, were promoted to Archer Colonel, Generals Wang Rui and Fu Qian were added to the Navy Colonel and Cavalry Colonel, and the remaining soldiers were each rewarded with three ranks and two months' leave."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! May my emperor live long live!" Li Xian knelt down to thank him.
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! May our emperor live long live!"
Huang Hao walked up to Li Xian and carefully handed over the imperial edict. Li Xian ordered his servants to put it away. The generals stood up together. Huang Hao turned sideways and said, "Your Majesty, there is something else you want me to tell you."
Li Xian quickly said: "Eunuch Huang, it's just a matter of orders."
"Your Majesty said that the word Wu can be chosen, and he and Guo Youzhi deduced the word Wu Lie. Your Majesty originally intended to leave these two words to you, but since you have spoken, then give these two words to General Zilong."
Li Xian was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked him: "Eunuch Huang, thank you! I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Huang Hao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has your Majesty's intention, but since he has received these two words of posthumous title, the general must be careful and careful in everything after arriving in Yong'an, and must not make the same mistakes as the previous General Guan."
Li Xian suddenly woke up when he heard this. The posthumous title of General Guan Yu was Zhuangmi. The posthumous title of General Guan Yu was called Zhuang. The name was Zhuang and the name was refreshing. This was what Qiao Zhou and Liu Chan had deduced together when he was still alive. Now he forcibly asked for one from his master. Wu Lie's posthumous title may be criticized by the court for a while. Now the three precautions Huang Hao mentioned are probably his Majesty's reminder to himself.
Li Xian could only hold up his hands and said: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Huang, for reminding me! I will definitely remember this in the future."
Huang Hao suddenly coughed and suddenly came over with a smile on his face and made a gesture of rubbing his fingers with his hands, "Just remember! Just remember!"
Li Xian didn't understand for a moment, "Huh?" As soon as he finished, he understood instantly and said: "What Eunuch Huang reminds me is that the general and the other soldiers will defend the country with all their hearts. I also ask Eunuch Huang to speak kindly in front of His Majesty in the future. A few words." After saying this, he quietly took out a brochure bag from his arms and stuffed it into Huang Hao's hand.
Huang Hao also weighed it quietly, felt the weight, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, General Li? With Huang here, the general can rest assured to fight outside, and everything in the palace will be taken care of by Huang." .”
"In that case, thank you very much, Eunuch Huang." Li Xian thanked him.
"In that case, Huang will resign."
"Eunuch, go slow." Li Xian saw Huang Hao off and turned to look at the sergeants. There were bursts of cheers, even uncontrollable, and it was like thunder on the school field.
"I've become a general! I've become a general!" Tian Dali shouted excitedly. A circle of people around him actually surrounded him tightly, then threw him up high, and then caught him, looking around All the generals were envious.
"nnd, if this guy hadn't hit me by mistake, I, Xu Zhi, would have gotten all the credit for this." Xu Zhi said with some reluctance.
Li Xian noticed something unusual: "Xu Zhi, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Xu Zhi quickly covered his eyes: "It's okay, I...I fell on my own."
Li Xian looked a little strange. This guy didn't look like he could lie. He was about to ask again, but he heard a clear voice shouting: "General, I beat him."
Li Xianxun went out and saw the eleven-year-old Fu Qian, standing proudly in the school field. He himself said with a look of disbelief: "Did you hit him?"
"General, you don't know. I thought he was just a kid, so I didn't dare to hit him hard. But this guy was so cruel. He rode on my neck and started beating me. The key is that he was very strong. I managed to get more than a dozen punches. , That’s it.” Xu Zhi sighed.
Li Xian tried his best to suppress a smile at the corner of his mouth, good guy, why are you messing with him? This guy may not be able to beat you in the future. He quickly said: "Go to the quartermaster and get some medicine to rub it. He looks like a national treasure." .”
"Ah? National treasure? What is that?" Xu Zhi asked confused.
"It's nothing. Let's go and let the swelling go away." Li Xian waved his hand and quickly let him go.
One thing to say is that Tian Dali is really lucky, and his strength really works wonders. Such success cannot be replicated. The key is that Teng Jia's shortcomings have been fully exposed. In the face of the ultimate pyromaniac like Lu Xun, there is obviously no The method continued to be used, and because of this great victory, an atmosphere of arrogance seemed to have developed in the whole army. It could neither allow the momentum of success to dissipate quickly, nor allow these soldiers to continue to have arrogance. This is indeed This is a very subtle point and difficult to grasp.
While I was still thinking, a group of sergeants suddenly surrounded me again. I was caught off guard and started to throw myself into the air, and began to celebrate this long-lost victory...
It was not until the officers and soldiers of the three armies could no longer play anymore that Li Xian slowly began to say to Tian Dali: "Dali, our army needs to be restructured."
Tian Dali heard this and asked: "General, how do you change it? I, Tian, will definitely do it."
Li Xian shook his head and said: "The rattan armor can no longer be used. Return them all to the treasury for future use. We also need to form a new cavalry, a cavalry capable of riding and shooting."
Tian Dali said: "Lao Xu is an expert in cavalry and archery. Could it be that the general wants Xu Zhi to lead a group of cavalry?"
Li Xian nodded and said: "Redistribute your eight thousand cavalry. You will take four thousand, and Xu Zhi will take four thousand."
"Ah? Are you taking away half of my soldiers now?" Tian Dali seemed a little reluctant.
Li Xian continued: "Don't be too discouraged. Next, your four thousand cavalry will all be heavily armored, including men and horses, and they will become the best of the best."
Tian Dali was overjoyed when he heard this. He suddenly thought about it and seemed a little confused: "General...general, how much will it cost?"
"You don't have to worry about the money, I will take care of it for you."
"Thank you, General!" Tian Dali happily retired.
"Zhao Tong, Gong Jie, and Wang Rui obey orders!" Li Xian suddenly shouted.
"The last general is here!" the three generals said in unison.
"The three of you will first lead our infantry to Bodao County and station troops in the county. Wang Rui will be responsible for recruiting civilians, and generals Zhao Tong and Gong Jie will be responsible for clearing out the water bandits. We must give our general a clean and wide river within a month!"
"General, take your orders!" The three of them handed over their hands and left together...
