Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

"Twenty years ago, I managed such a foundation with my own strength, let alone a big man, even if there are countless sages, there is only one person, the master!"

At this time, naturally no one wanted to lag behind, and they flattered Li Yi one after another. Li Yi was very happy to hear it, and he didn't hide it. , then, in the future, do you still need to worry about the death of the cunning rabbit, and the matter of running dogs?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly said in unison: "The last general dare not!"

Li Yi smiled casually at first, followed by a solemn expression, shaking his head and said: "Of course I won't do it, but I don't have the final say on this matter." .”

Everyone was puzzled, it wasn't Li Yi who had the final say on this kind of matter, who else could have the final say?

Li Yi turned his head to look at Li Tong, and Li Tong's heart suddenly became inexplicably uneasy.

Li Yi said: "As a general, if you stick to the formalities and do things in a strict manner, there will be no gaps, but it is difficult to achieve much. Therefore, although I strictly restrict military discipline, I seldom restrict the specific actions of the generals. , will not accept the order of the foreign emperor, that is the case, but"

Li Yi sighed and asked, "Da, let me ask you, after you ordered a reward in my name last night, did you send someone to inform me of this matter, or write a book and submit it?"

"No, no."

Li Tong was stunned, and hurriedly said again: "But didn't the lord already know?"

Li Yi hadn't answered yet, but there were many people present who had expressions of surprise on their faces, and then they looked at Li Tong very speechlessly.

Seeing that Li Tong hadn't come to his senses, Li Yi asked, "If I said I didn't know about it, and wanted to accuse you of passing a false military order, how would you explain it?"

"me"

Li Tong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yi followed up and said: "The battle last night was only limited to one city and one place. I can see what you did. Even if it was an omission, it is not too important. However, if I order you to lead the army Foreign defense, for various reasons, you once again acted in my name, and you thought I should know, so you didn’t report it, or you didn’t need to report some trivial matters. If I dismiss you from your position and give up your military power because of this, who can say that I am stupid? And you, are you wronged or not?"

"The last general, the last general is wrong, the last general is guilty, please punish me, my lord!"

Li Tong knelt down to Li Yi again, with a face of shame. He was a little puzzled and unconvinced before, thinking that it was Kuai Yue who bullied others, but now he finally understands that the matter this time is not a big deal, but because of his negligence , but its nature is very serious, Kuai Yue's accusation against him is not wronged at all, although he feels that he is quite innocent, if it is really to be pursued, it is really his fault.

Li Yi pulled Li Tong up, and said in relief: "You don't need to be like this, this time you really did something wrong, but well, your flaws can't hide your strengths, and you are new to the army, and your performance last night is already quite good. I believe that in the future, you will gradually experience, and your achievements will be absolutely limitless!"

"Thank you, my lord, the last general, the last general is ashamed!"

Li Tong wanted to worship again, but Li Yi stopped him, and said with a smile, "There's no need to do that. In fact, your negligence this time is also related to the fact that I didn't ask much about it in the past and the regulations were unclear."

With that said, Li Yi looked at the generals, and the generals felt a little drummed. They were very worried that Li Yi would take this opportunity to restrain their hands and feet, and it would be inconvenient for them to fight after that.

After pausing for a moment, Li Yi slowly opened his mouth and said: "It's easy to say that you can't accept the order of the emperor outside, but not everyone can do it. The battlefield will affect the whole body, and the enemy will not accept it." It may be that you stick to the rules, and you don’t know how many schemes and calculations there will be, especially if you are alone, if you are not careful, you will mess up other people’s schemes, so today, I will use this matter to set a rule."

"Afterwards in the army, the general temporarily changed the original plan, yes, but except that he is already under siege and communication is interrupted, otherwise he must report to the commander as soon as possible. This is one of them."

"Secondly, the general adapts to the situation and will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. However, if the plan fails and he loses instead, he will be dismissed at the slightest and beheaded at the worst."

Li Yi looked at the generals and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

"My lord's words are very appropriate, and there will be no objections in the end!"

Huang Zhong was the first to come out to express his support, followed by other generals who also supported Li Yi's decision.

This is not their pretending, but their sincere approval of this decision.

Because Li Yi is already very magnanimous, and he didn't deny the right of leading troops to make decisions on the fly, and reward them for meritorious deeds, it just increased the price of failure.

This is taken for granted by the generals. If there is no price, and everyone in the army thinks of "ingenuity", wouldn't it be all messed up?

When everyone responded, Li Yi looked at Kuai Yue, Kuai Yue bowed to Li Yi, Li Yi smiled, with a touch of emotion in his smile.

Although what happened today is about military rules, its impact is far more than that, and it will gradually spread to all aspects in the future, because at this time Kuai Yue is preparing for his future ascension to a high position.

Don't look at Li Yi's great authority now, everyone is in awe, but there is still a big gap in terms of rules and forms from that step. In order to maintain the close relationship with his subordinates, Li Yi has some things that he can't do well , at least he can't start it, otherwise it will be easy to make people think that he is cold-blooded, so before Li Yi thought of this, Kuai Yue volunteered to be a pawn.

Looking at Kuai Yue, Li Yi decided to repay him well in the future, at least to cover him, and then Li Yi really thought of something, but now is not the time

"Okay, I've already said what I need to say. Now that the wine and meat are still warm, everyone, go ahead. Recharge your energy today so that you can break the city tomorrow."

As Li Yi said, he dragged Li Tong to the main seat. He was giving Li Tong a little compensation, and let Li Tong know that his importance had not diminished.

Although what Li Yi just said was important, it wasn't too much pressure on everyone. Now that Li Yi said something, they naturally let go of it very quickly, and started to eat and drink.

After Li Yi sat down, the first thing he did was to instruct Li Tong to toast Kuai Yue to thank him. After all, Kuai Yue offended people so much. Although Li Yi had thought of a way to repay him, he had to express something beforehand.

However, today's banquet seems to be destined not to let Li Yi eat well. Li Yi just cut a piece of venison, and before he had time to eat it, he saw a guard rushing in hurriedly, and said loudly: "My lord, just now Liu Yao came from Ximen led the army to break through, was shot and killed by our army's random arrows, and then the Ximen defenders surrendered, the soldiers didn't know how to deal with it, so I came here to ask the lord for instructions!"

Chapter 657

Suddenly came such news that the banquet could not continue. Li Yi immediately ordered Huang Zhong to straighten out the army and be ready at any time. At the same time, he ordered two thousand personal guard battalions and two thousand infantry as backup , rushed to the west gate first.

In the process, Li Yi naturally learned about the details.

Although this matter came suddenly and nervously, the process was very simple.

Just when the thousand soldiers guarding outside the west gate were changing their shifts for dinner, Liu Yao suddenly killed them with hundreds of people, scaring the thousand soldiers guarding the gate.

However, those who can be assigned this kind of task are all elites in the army. Although the incident happened suddenly, they have all had emergency drills. Apart from anything else, they threw away the food in their hands and immediately formed a simple line of defense. Blocking the impact of the Yuzhou soldiers, after a brief stalemate, Li Yi's front line was completely stabilized.

Seeing obstacles in the breakout, Liu Yao came to the front in person to boost morale and encouraged Yuzhou soldiers to go forward bravely. Then the soldiers on Li Yi's side saw that Liu Yao was not dressed normally, so they thought of a thief to capture the king first , So, after a flurry of arrows, Liu Yao was hit by several arrows and fell to the ground to die. The Yuzhou soldiers who followed Liu Yao saw that the general was killed. Except for a few who continued to fight to the death, the rest either surrendered or fled back to the city.

Therefore, the breakout soon subsided, and after witnessing it, the defenders at the top of the city, who had little fighting spirit, were completely discouraged and chose to surrender in Kaesong.

In general, although this battle was unexpected, it was a very good result for Li Yi.

According to the original plan, Li Yi thought that the army was too tired after running all night, so he thought about resting for a day, and then approached the city with the captured Yuzhou soldiers as the vanguard. Kaesong surrendered, but now, the result was earlier, which saved Li Yi a lot of things.

However, the generals under Li Yi's command were somewhat depressed. They were still wondering who would get the credit for breaking the city, but now it's good, everyone is out of the game.

When Li Yi came to the west gate, he saw soldiers cleaning the battlefield. The city gate was wide open, and there were quite a few Yuzhou soldiers standing inside and outside. However, looking at their appearance, they were frightened and confused. They obviously didn't understand very well, and the gate had already been opened. Surrendered, why don't people outside come in.

But after Li Yi appeared, their expressions turned to fear.

"He Qi, Chen Dao, take over Ximen, be careful of fraud!"

After giving an order, Li Yi called the school lieutenant who commanded the army outside the west gate, and asked, "How about the casualties?"

Because he accidentally killed Liu Yao, the big fish, the captain's expression was a little excited, but he didn't dare to raise his tail when faced with Li Yi's question, swallowed, and said honestly: "32 people died in battle, Nineteen were seriously injured, and the other thirty were slightly injured, and now the medical officer has taken over the treatment."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you coped well, I will give you a big credit."

The school lieutenant was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, my lord!"

Li Yi smiled, this captain is really lucky enough, he took a big credit for nothing, but he performed well, at least when the Ximen garrison surrendered, he rushed in without his head getting hot, but pressed down Out of the urge to take credit, he stayed outside and patiently waited for Li Yi's arrival.

Don't think that this matter is easy to say, in fact, many generals who lead troops will not be able to bear it under such circumstances.

Li Yi asked again: "Where is Liu Yao?"
