¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡°Therefore, the situation is unclear at the moment. It is too early to say whether it will be a success or failure. It is impossible to determine who will win or lose until the last moment. ¡ñ¡ÐPlans can never keep up with changes, which requires us to Don't tie your hands and look forward and backward, take action when it's time, and change the original plan as the situation changes, so you don't have to worry too much, get rid of distracting thoughts, and give it a go!" Li Li's words are obviously true! Regarding what Zhuge Liang said. " Perhaps Zhuge Liang himself did not realize that he strives for perfection in everything he does. Whenever he encounters military operations, he always makes a decision before taking action. If there is no more than 60% chance of winning, he would rather not move than take risks. Zhuge was cautious throughout his life, which is how later generations evaluated him. It is impossible for him to know this kind of evaluation himself, but Li Li knows it very well and has a deep understanding of it. Speaking of which, Li Li and Zhuge Liang have known each other for seven years. In the past seven years, the two of them have worked together for more than half of the time, getting along day and night, understanding each other, and knowing each other's temperament and preferences. Li Li recognized Zhuge Liang's cautious use of troops, but did not completely agree. He believed that caution was important, but being overly cautious meant being timid, which is the same as timidity. Therefore, he often encouraged Zhuge Liang to use troops boldly, not to have any worries, and to plan carefully before the battle. When facing the battle, there was no need to worry and he could act freely. This was the case in the battle of Lulongsai when Zhuge Liang first led the army. Before the war, Li Li once told him that if he wins this battle, his good brother will be the first to take the credit; if he loses, I will bear all the blame. As a result, Kong Ming, who had not yet won the championship, won the first battle. From then on, he fought with the army all year round and led the western expedition to the Southern Barbarians alone. He has not suffered a defeat in seven years, and is the only commander-in-chief of the three armies under Li Li who has not suffered a defeat. Except for Zhuge Liang. The army of the Western Jin Dynasty went from top to bottom, from the commander-in-chief Li Li to the military princes. All fought and lost. Li Li, Guo Jia, and Zhou Yu defeated Yecheng, Zhao Yun defeated Kaifeng, Teng Xiao was careless at Changshan, Xu Rong was careless and lost the Bohai Sea, Bocai was trapped in Wancheng, and so on. These defeats were all relatively large battles, and there were countless local wars or small battles, but Zhuge Liang was not among them. Even when Jizhou was defeated. Everyone, including Li Li, was trapped in a tight siege, and all his generals were defeated. Only Zhuge Liang not only had no fault, but also made merit. After returning from a trip to Yizhou, he led his army to Huguan, just in time to assist Li Li, who escaped from the siege with a narrow escape. Enter customs. Because of this, Zhuge Liang, who returned from the Western Expedition, enjoyed high prestige in the army. He was worshiped as the Hou General, one of the generals of the Four Army, and his position was higher than that of the Three Dukes. This time, Li Xuan and Jia Xu stayed in Chang'an to fight against Sili again. He and Guo Jia followed Li Li on the expedition. According to the prior arrangement, after arriving in Luoyang, the three of them, the monarch and his ministers, divided their troops into three groups, each leading an army to fight. Guo Jia led the army in the north. Resist the Northern Wei army; while Kong Ming led his troops south and confronted the Southern Han army led by Pang Tong; Li Li sat in Luoyang and took charge of the Chinese army. Central support. Li Li once again encouraged Zhuge Liang to use troops boldly at this time, precisely because Zhuge Liang would then lead his army to fight south. Confronted with Pang Tong's army. Although the crouching dragon and the phoenix are equally famous, the dragon is in front and the phoenix is ??in the back. The two came from the same school and knew each other very well; but Li Li knew that Pang Tong was eclectic in using troops and was good at using surprise troops. As long as he caught the slightest opportunity, he would dare to put all his efforts into it. It was Pang Tong's plan when Liu Biao of Jingzhou forced the Sun family to surrender to Jiangdong. He used the assassination of Sun Ce in Jiangdong to make a big fuss and eradicated the direct bloodline of the Sun family in one fell swoop. Afterwards, internal fighting continued, the country's power declined, and it was forced to rely on Liu Biao's command. When the news of Jiangdong's surrender to Liu Biao reached Li Li's ears, he was stunned for a long time. From this, Li Li realized firsthand that Pang Tong was really capable. He forced Jiangdong to surrender in a snap without using a single soldier. Such feats were truly an anecdote of the 400-year-old Han Dynasty, and they can be called immortal. Meritorious service. It was this feat of Pang Tong that made Li Li quite afraid of him. Later, when Pang Tong sneaked into Chang'an and conspired to form an alliance with Cao Pi, Li Li once again realized that Pang Tong was astonishingly courageous, did not take the usual path, and was good at using strange tricks to take risks. , and this is completely different from Zhuge Liang's hands-on and cautious style of doing things. So this time Zhuge Liang led his army to conquer south, and he was bound to face Pang Tong, who was good at using surprise troops. This made Li Li really uneasy about him, so he specially encouraged him to use his troops boldly and do whatever he wanted. If Li Li was not constrained by his status as emperor and could not go to the front line in person, he would really want to compete with Pang Tong, because his military tactics are quite similar to Pang Tong's, and they are both good at using deceit. Soldiers are crafty; this is the essence of the art of war. This is the essence of Li's use of troops, and Pang Tong also showed the cunning method of using troops. Everything was aimed at winning victory, and he acted eclectically, without any trace of rules. His use of troops was unpredictable and unpredictable. Traces can be found. In contrast, Zhuge Liang is an upright division in his military use. He fights steadily and builds a camp step by step. The word "caution" runs throughout, and his troops and formations are all?Clearly reflects his cautious nature. It was precisely because he was good at using regular soldiers that Li Li sent him to lead the army to fight against Pang Tong. The two men used their troops to do both good and surprising things, and the outcome was unpredictable. Therefore, although Li Li was a little worried about Zhuge Liang leading the southern expedition, he did not think that he would definitely lose. The outcome should be 50-50. If Kong Ming could occasionally use a surprise attack, he might be able to win. Compared with Kong Ming, Guo Jia is good at using strange weapons, which is very similar to Pang Tong's method of using troops. If Guo Jia is allowed to play against Pang Tong, the situation in Nanyang will become increasingly unpredictable; there are only two possibilities for the outcome of the odd versus the odd, either a big victory or a disastrous defeat, and there is no third possibility. Based on this consideration, Li Li finally selected Kong Ming to go south to fight the Jingzhou army, Guo Jia to go north to resist Cao's army, and he would sit in Luoyang to provide support. Wherever the situation was unfavorable, he would immediately lead his army to reinforce. As night falls slowly, the lanterns and incense burners are lit in the pavilion. There are many mosquitoes by the lake at night. Lighting incense can repel mosquitoes. Even so, Li Li didn't want to stay here any longer. Before leaving, he solemnly told Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang: "It is said that Zilong led his army to use fire thunder (black lumps) to rob the camp this time. No other camp in the army has such a thing, except There are still some fire thunders left in the war cavalry camp that followed Kong Ming in the western expedition to the southern barbarians. This must be the case with Zilong's unparalleled iron cavalry. They were not used up in the western expedition to the southern barbarians, but they were used on Cao Ren's army this time. It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t make it clear beforehand. But from now on, fire thunder is not allowed to be used in internal operations. It must not be used as a last resort!¡± ¡°This¡± Guo Jia and Kong Ming were shocked when they heard this. They looked up at Li Li¡¯s solemn expression and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little confused. . Then Kong Ming whispered: "Fire and thunder are a powerful weapon for attacking cities and villages. In the past, when Wei Chen led his army on the Western Expedition, many southern barbarian villages were frightened by fire and thunder, and they surrendered without any blood. I wonder if your majesty can explain clearly why this is so. Our army can¡¯t use fire thunder?¡± Li Li seemed to have known about this question from Kong Ming and Guo Jia for a long time. Then he said without thinking: "Things like fire and thunder should not appear in the world, let alone be used on us Han people. Therefore, they cannot be used in battles from now on. Those who disobey the order will be severely punished. Anyone who leaks or loses the fire and thunder will be punished." Three tribes!" At this point, Li Li paused and sighed softly: "Actually, I created the Fire Thunder ten years ago and then secretly established the Fire Thunder Workshop and personally selected three hundred disabled armors. The soldiers and veterans made fire mines. During the eastern expedition to Wuhuan and Xianbei, the Jinyiwei camp brought five hundred fire mines, but they were not used in the end. Five years ago, Kong Ming went to the west to prepare for the southern barbarians. Thousands of fire thunders are handed over to you secretly. This is the first time that this kind of firearm has been used in foreign battles. The production of fire thunders is still very poor, except that it makes a loud noise and is flammable and explosive. It is huge, but the harm of this thing is immeasurable. To this day, I am still not sure whether it is right or wrong to create this thing. You may not know whether this kind of killing weapon should exist in the world. If it leaks out or falls into the hands of barbarian foreigners, the consequences will be disastrous. At that time, we Han people will be the biggest victims, because we are the only Han people on this continent who are the most hard-working and wealthy, and at the same time, we are the most vulnerable to foreigners. People are jealous and always spy on my Han territory. Therefore, in order to eliminate future troubles, now that this thing has come out, we must continue to develop it, but if it can be leaked or fall into the hands of others, we must bear the brunt of it. It means frequent use. Secondly, the people involved in making fire mines must be strictly controlled. They would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Finally, and the most important point, fire mines can only be used to expand territory and for foreign wars at the moment. The first batch of more than 300 people who participated in the production of Fire Thunder are all dead, and the Fire Thunder Workshop has been moved out. No one will know its existence from now on. Remember, I will only say this once, and I will never say it again. I hope the three of you will keep it in mind and don't mislead others or yourself!" After saying this, Li Li stood up and left the pavilion, heading straight to the cabin. In fact, the fire thunder Li Li mentioned was black powder mixed with saltpetre, sulfur and charcoal. The black lumps used by Zhao Yun's army are the crudest and simplest fire mines. They are flammable, explosive and loud, but not very lethal. Except for Li Li, no one knew that this kind of black lump was made by himself ten years ago. It was considered an experimental product and the lowest quality firearm product. After ten years of repeated testing, the firearms produced are now five times more powerful than the Black Knuckle. In addition to their poor manufacturing technology and unsightly appearance, their power is no less powerful than the hand-made grenades of later generations. "But after creating this kind of thing, Li Li often felt uneasy and suffered deeply in his heart. The firearm itself did not have much value. The only thing worthy of praise was the breaking of rocks. Other than that, it appeared for killing. Therefore, the memory of being in the military in his previous life did not bring him good memories, but endless troubles. He could make simple grenades and even follow his memoriesBrand has developed more powerful weapons, but a hundred years later he will leave endless killings to the world. This is definitely not what he wants to see, let alone a murderer who kills countless people while he is alive and continues to kill after death. So he created the fire thunder with his own hands, and now he sealed it with his own hands, or it would be more appropriate to say that it was sealed. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªTo be continued¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª(To be continued please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! ps: [Sincere thanks: Book Friend ¡°xuwei222¡± supports with monthly ticket, thank you!]
