"... When I led my troops, I passed by the outskirts of Guangcheng Pass.
They used some means to let Sun Jian, who was at Guangcheng Pass, know that I, Liu Cheng, had led his troops to Dagu Pass.
Sun Jian knew this news and would not dare to stay at Guangcheng Pass for too long. He was worried that I would send troops out of Dagong Pass, defeat Cheng Pu outside Dagong Pass, and then intercept his return route.
If my prediction is correct, all Sun Jian's troops and horses should have left Guangcheng Pass by this time.
Sun Jian is different from other generals. Sun Jian has a very good way of fighting and is a person who is not willing to fail.
Previously at Sishui Pass, he suffered a crushing defeat at my hands, and his general, Huang Gai and Huang Gongfu, was personally killed by me.
Now, once again, I am forcing my troops to retreat. According to this person's character, he must be unwilling to accept it.
It is certain that he will lead his troops to set up an ambush in a suitable place and try to bite off some of my flesh.
If our headquarters at Sishui Pass are here, I will naturally not be afraid. After defeating Chengpu in the first battle, we will quickly organize our army and use our tactics to counterattack Sun Jian. It is necessary to kill Sun Jian.
But now, my headquarters has only brought 5,000 people. In the past few days, I have been crossing the Yellow River overnight at Mengjin Ferry, fighting in bloody battles, and defeated the Baibo bandits. I have also led more than 20,000 people to defeat them, and headed to the north bank of Mengjin Ferry.
There is the bandit general Zhang Miao and his headquarters.
After just a short rest, I received another order from the Prime Minister to rush to Daguguan.
From Mengjin to Dagoguan, the distance is nearly three hundred miles.
I led the troops and horses, and for three days, without even a moment's rest, I directly attacked Cheng Pu's troops who had been here for many days.
At this time, we were already exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
In this case, I will naturally withdraw my troops."
After Liu Cheng said these words, he immediately calmed down General Daguguan who felt dissatisfied and came to inquire.
This general looked at Liu Cheng's soldiers and horses who had been on the road for a long time and fought bloody battles all night, and then looked at his own soldiers and horses at Dagu Pass. His face suddenly turned green and red.
Because Liu's department, which was already extremely exhausted, was still maintaining order at this time.
And these soldiers and horses who were originally at Dagu Pass can be said to be a new force, but at this time, they were scattered and disorganized.
It will take at least an hour to organize it into order and combat effectiveness!
The soldiers and horses at Sishui Pass, who were already exhausted, took the time to rest while still maintaining good order.
If there is really a war, there is no need to organize the troops and horses at all. You only need to beat the war drums and wake up the soldiers, and then they can join the battle again!!
They both look like armies, but after careful comparison, the gap between the two sides is so huge!
When he first heard words like "I only brought five thousand people from my headquarters" from Emperor Liu's mouth, this man felt extremely unhappy.
I felt that Uncle Liu Huang looked down upon them too much.
However, after comparing the soldiers of both sides, he had to admit that what Uncle Liu Huang said was true.
The troops and horses I have here are indeed far inferior to the troops and horses under Liu Huangshu's command...
"Thank you, uncle, for your advice. I finally know..."
General Daguguan, whose face turned green and red for a while, saluted Liu Cheng solemnly and said this.
Seeing that he had convinced the general, Liu Cheng's attitude improved.
He stretched out his hand to support the general and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything to others. When it comes to fighting, if it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't work.
You need to fully consider your own strength before you can make corresponding countermeasures.
Otherwise, you will only lose troops and generals, throw away the lives of your own soldiers in vain, and let the enemy's people gain military merit..."
Seeing Liu Cheng's change of attitude and hearing Liu Cheng's heart-wrenching words, the general of Daguguan once again bowed deeply to Liu Cheng to express his respect.
Naturally, he didn't know that Uncle Liu Huang, who was in front of him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and who was analyzing things clearly, had the most genuine thoughts in his heart...
It was at this time that someone came in a hurry and reported that the general Li Li did not obey the order to collect troops, and led more than 2,000 soldiers under his command to pursue the defeated Cheng Pu.
Upon hearing the report, Liu Cheng's face suddenly darkened.
The soldiers and generals of Dugu Pass who listened to Liu Cheng's analysis all became nervous and looked ugly.
They all turned their attention to Liu Cheng, waiting for Liu Cheng to issue orders.
"Take some people and go immediately to convey my order. Let Li Li lead his troops back immediately and stop the pursuit!
Otherwise you will be subject to military law!!”
Li Meng, the guard general of Dagu Pass who had just saluted Liu Cheng and expressed his respect, immediately took the order and led a hundred elite soldiers and horses to chase Li Li all the way, conveying Liu Cheng's order and asking Li Li to hurry up
return
Liu Cheng, on the other hand, issued an order to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield and sent some troops back to Dagu Pass...
Nearly an hour later, Li Meng, who was running out of breath, caught up with Li Li, who was completely stunned.
After listening to Liu Cheng's analysis and judgment of the situation brought by Li Meng, Li Li couldn't help but smile: "Do you believe this?
This is just because Uncle Liu doesn't want us to make great contributions, and wants to highlight his courage and resourcefulness, and we are not as good as him!
Brother Li, don't go back, just follow me here and kill thieves and make meritorious deeds!
In a short period of time, I led my troops to behead more than two hundred people!
These are all real military achievements..."
Li Li reached out and wiped the blood from his face, revealing his increasingly obvious white teeth, and said to Li Meng with a smile.
"Don't think like that! Your thoughts and actions are really dangerous!
When I came, Uncle Liu issued a strict order, saying that if you don't lead the troops back as ordered, military law will be imposed.
With the order from the Prime Minister here, it is Uncle Liu Huang who has the final word here at Dagu Pass.
I have observed his actions, and he is also decisive and decisive, so don’t make the mistake of yourself!"
It was okay if Li Meng didn't say this, but when he said this, Li Li felt even more uncomfortable!
After all, before last night, it was Li Li who kept his word here in Daguguan!
Not Uncle Liu Huang!
"I act in my own way, you don't have to say anything!
As long as my contribution in this battle is big enough, even Uncle Liu Huang can't do anything to me.
When the time came, I wanted to ask him, Uncle Liu Huang, what he meant by being afraid of fighting and missing the opportunity!
Are you colluding with the rebel Sun Jian..."
When Li Meng heard this, he was speechless for a moment.
He hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Li Li just refused to obey.
In the end, Li Li even started yelling at Li Meng, saying that he was a coward and had been given a stupor by Liu Cheng.
Li Meng was also angered by Li Li's words.
In addition, Li Li, who usually relies on his uncle Li Jue, has always been a bit arrogant and arrogant.
As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, so Li Meng immediately stopped talking and allowed Li Ligu to carry out his duties.
He loudly announced Liu Cheng's general order and persuaded Li Li's soldiers to return with him and not to do foolish things with Li Li.
When Li Li's eyes were red and he was about to get into a fight with Li Meng, Li Meng took the 100 people he brought with him and nearly 200 soldiers who were threatened by Li Li with his words.
Return quickly.
At this time, Li Li, who had been dazzled by the victory and many other things, after having to take a short break due to the arrival of Li Meng, once again led his troops and started a new journey.
.
Continue to hunt down the remnants of Cheng Pu.
After a chase, he encountered only defeated troops and no effective resistance.
Such a discovery made Li Li more courageous and confident...
"Originally I wanted to catch a big fish, but here comes such a small shrimp who doesn't know whether to live or die. It's a waste of my plan!"
In the dense forest, Sun Jian, whose head was wrapped in a red turban, saw Li Jin leading some soldiers and horses, chasing them all the way, and passed in front of them. However, Li Li was further behind, but no other soldiers came.
Then he sighed and said this.
Then he ordered someone to ring the gong.
For a moment, there was a loud sound of gongs here, and a large number of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses who had been ambushed rushed out one after another. Under the extremely panicked and dull eyes of Li Li and others, they cut off the retreat of Li Li's soldiers and horses, and took advantage of the situation to attack the left and right sides.
surrounded.
Cheng Pu, who had been leading his troops to flee in front, stopped running when he heard the sound of the gong, turned back, faced Li Li's troops, and charged towards him!
Suddenly, Li Li and the soldiers and horses led by Li Li were all surrounded!
It was only at this time that Li Li believed that what Li Meng had conveyed before and the analysis and judgment carried out by Liu Cheng were all correct!!
Sun Nuo indeed ambush a large number of troops!
It was also at this moment that he knew fear and felt deep regret in his heart.
At the same time, Li Meng, who was looking forward to leading people away, could lead his troops back again and lead him away.
Unfortunately, these are just delusions!
Sun Jian, who had already been holding back a strong energy in his heart, as well as Han Dang, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao and others, led their troops to charge.
Faced with such a situation, Li Li, who had been so stubborn before, the first thing he thought of was to surrender.
It was a pity that Sun Jian, who was wearing a red turban, immediately shouted that he should not surrender in this battle.
And a soldier who had surrendered was directly hacked to death.
Under such circumstances, Li Li, who had no blood on his face, could only roar and lead his troops to fight desperately...
After a fierce and short confrontation, calm was restored here again.
Sun Jian and others led their troops and horses to leave.
Only a lot of blood stains, strange shapes, clothes and armor were left behind, and a similar corpse was removed...
…
"Asshole!!"
This was what Liu Chengwen yelled out angrily after Li Meng returned to Dagu Pass and listened to the news fed back by Li Meng.
Then he sighed: "I don't feel sorry for Li Li's death. I only pity those soldiers and good men. Now I am afraid that they have all become military exploits at the hands of thieves..."
After finishing speaking, he called Liao Hua and asked him to lead some troops and horses, and together with Li Meng, who was leading some troops, they headed in that direction again.
The main purpose is to check in and see what's going on there and whether there are any soldiers who have escaped death...
That night, Liao Hua and Li Meng's group returned.
In addition to the soldiers and horses who went with them, there were more than thirty soldiers.
Most of these soldiers looked very miserable, and few of them were without injuries!
"Uncle Emperor, die, die, all die!
Except for these people, everyone else is dead..."
Li Meng's eyes were red, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
"thump!"
As soon as Li Meng finished speaking, one of these miserable-looking soldiers knelt down in front of Liu Cheng with a plop.
"Sin, guilty general Li, Li Li, met, met the emperor's uncle..."
The man spoke in a hoarse voice.
It turned out to be Li Li, who had been arrogant and disobeyed orders and insisted on leading his troops to pursue him.
Liu Cheng's eyes instantly turned cold.
He looked at Li Li without saying a word. After a while, he said: "Do you still have the nerve to come back?
So many soldiers died because of your wanton behavior and disobedience of orders, why don't you die in battle?!"
Liu Cheng's words made Li Li's body tremble uncontrollably.
He pointed to the miserable-looking soldiers around him who had followed him back, and said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "It's because of these soldiers.
He, they, go out with me to kill, kill the enemy, and I, I will always try my best to bring him, them, back.
Bring, bring back one, one, bring them all back."
When Liu Cheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Li Li then spoke: "Li Li knows that after what he did, he will not be able to escape the death penalty. I want my colleagues present to tell my uncle when they see him in the future that my nephew Li Li is unfilial and failed to remember
Those who live in his teachings and lose his..."
Liu Cheng's face showed deep sarcasm.
"Do you think that just because of what you did this time, killing so many soldiers at once, and carrying your uncle out, you can avoid death?
Let me tell you, no matter who comes this time, you will not escape death!"
Li Li's body did not tremble this time, and his voice seemed calmer.
"Li Li naturally knew that the death penalty was inevitable, and he didn't think about letting the emperor's uncle escape my death.
Even if the emperor forgives me, I will not forgive myself.
The reason why I did not die in battle or escape elsewhere after breaking out of the siege was that besides wanting to bring these soldiers back, another reason was that I wanted to come back and receive punishment.
I don’t want to be a deserter that others look down upon, but I also want to use my useless head to let my colleagues in the army remember today’s lesson.
Don't be like me, Li Li, who doesn't listen to military orders, just rely on yourself and act randomly!
This will only harm others and yourself, and kill many soldiers in vain..."
Listening to these words spoken by Li Li, many people around him couldn't help but feel moved by them.
Even Liu Cheng, whose face was filled with chills, had softened a bit.
"As expected of Li Zhiran's nephew, he may be a bit stupid, but he still has some backbone!
I will tell your uncle exactly what you have done and what you said!"
Liu Cheng said aloud.
"In that case, thank you very much, uncle!"
Li Li lay on the ground, kowtowed to Liu Cheng, then turned around and kowtowed to the soldiers who followed him back and to Baishigou where he was ambushed...
…
"cut!"
Following Liu Cheng's order, the military judge in charge of supervising the execution swung his sword and chopped off Li Li's head.
For a moment, all the soldiers here in Daguguan were in awe!!
