The reason for the fall is very simple, or because of power struggle.

As Gou Xi achieved glorious victories on the battlefield, his reputation became increasingly greater and gradually began to be afraid of his brothers. There were many people in Sima Yue's own small group who were unhappy with him: We followed the Taiwei for a lifetime and finally climbed to this position today. Do you know how much hard work we have put in and how much hardship we have endured? Do you know!? This is what you can compare with by killing embryos and cutting tens of thousands of heads? Seeing that Ma Yue became suspicious of Gou Xi, these guys immediately began to slap the Yinfeng.

When he lit the ghost fire, he said that Yanzhou is a place where military strategists must fight. Gou Xi has great ambitions and will not be willing to be a subordinate. He let him command such military storm for a long time. Once there is a change, the consequences will be unimaginable. You should take Yanzhou to be more secure! Sima Yue felt it makes sense, so he transferred Gou Xi to be the governor of Qingzhou and arranged for his confidant to take over Yanzhou. Although he promoted Gou Xi to compensate Gou Xi, the warlords were really too sensitive to this. Gou Xi knew what Sima Yue wanted to do, and there was a crack in the relationship between the sworn brothers.

This is not over. This year, Sima Yue's several right-hand assistants falsely accused Gou Xi of being unjust, and asked Sima Yue to kill him quickly. Gou Xi was extremely angry about this and asked Sima Yue to kill these villains. Sima Yue rejected his request, so Gou Xi officially broke with Sima Yue, declared his military achievements to the various prefectures and counties and stated Sima Yue's crimes. Sima Chi also disliked Sima Yue, who had such good things, naturally issued an edict to support him. An emperor who was undermined by powerful ministers and an unbeaten general quickly hooked up. This made Sima Yue feel more pressured. The emperor used some natural advantages given by imperial power in the court to fight him, which made him a little bit out of the head. There was another powerful general in Shandong with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and invincible soldiers eyeing him. Who can bear it?

It’s probably like this when internal and external troubles.

After Yang Chen's analysis, Sima Chi immediately relaxed and said, "Yes, I still have three imperial guards, Liangzhou army, and famous generals such as Beigong Chun and his son and Dongping County Duke. Why not be afraid of this old thief!"

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty can think like this. The old thief is now in a difficult situation inside and outside world and can't last long. Your Majesty is patient. Once the time is ripe, we will attack both inside and outside. Even if the old thief has the ability to be invincible, he will only be able to surrender!"

Sima Chi said, "I hope this day will come soon. I don't want to spend such a day!" After a pause, I suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Yang Aiqing, you mentioned a young officer many times in the memorial, as if he was named Li... Li, what?"

Yang Chen said: "Li Rui."

Sima Chi said: "Yes, it's Li Rui. I heard that this man is extremely brave and even a sharpshooter. He shot and killed many powerful Hus on the battlefield?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "It's not necessarily true that he is extremely brave, but he is indeed a sharpshooter. In the Battle of Piaoliu, he shot a Hu archer's neck a hundred feet away, saving Xiu'er's life. In the Battle of Yiyang, he shot a Hu wizard who was doing something with a crossbow, which shocked the Hu people and captured it. The great victory of our army in Yiyang is largely due to his performance."

Sima Chi was a little dumbfounded: "You can shoot an arrow a mile away? Even if the flying general Li Guang is reborn, it is not as good as him, right? He is so amazing!"

Yang Chen stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this person really has a relationship with the flying general Li Guang."

Sima Chi was very interested: "Oh? What is the origin? Could it be that he is a descendant of Li Guang?"

Yang Chen said: "He was after Li Ling of the Western Han Dynasty. Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu after the defeat in Junji Mountain. A pregnant concubine was afraid of causing trouble. Under the arrangement of the Li family, she escaped from Chang'an and fled to Huaixi to settle down. Later, Li Ling was indeed surrendered and was killed. The concubine survived by chance because she fled Chang'an several months in advance and preserved a bloodline for Li Ling."

Sima Chi said: "In this way, he is really a descendant of Fei General Li Guang! No wonder he is so powerful in archery skills, it turns out that it is inherited!"

Yang Chen said: "This man is not only accurate in archery skills, but also proficient in combat formations. The rost formation he created helped the Liangzhou army to defeat the crowd with few in the field battles, defeat the barbarians, and beheaded tens of thousands of people. In addition, he is also proficient in ordnance design and transformation, and the horse harnesses and crossbows he has transformed have doubled their power."

Sima Chi said excitedly: "In this way, this person is a versatile person! Such a genius should be valued! By the way, Yang Aiqing, what position does he hold in the army now?"

Yang Chen said: "He is currently serving as Quhou in the Liangzhou army and is also a staff member of Beigong Jing."

Sima Chi was unhappy: "What did Beigong Jing do? Such a genius is only for a small Quhou family? Aren't he afraid that he will leave in anger?"

Yang Chen said: "Major General Beigong has no official position until now. Being able to give Li Rui a Quhou is already the limit of his ability."

Sima Chi cursed: "It's all the blame for that old thief. If he hadn't suppressed him in every way, I would have long conferred the Beigong family as generals and asked them to lead the army to beat the Hu people!"

Yang Chen said: "But after taking Yiyang, Beigong Jing gave him four hundred heavy cavalry, plus the two hundred he gave him in the Battle of Piaoliu. Now he has six hundred heavy cavalry and one thousand two hundred auxiliary soldiers. With such strength, it is more than enough to be a lieutenant."

Sima Chi slapped his high-high and said, "Okay, just give him a lieutenant! I love to chat. You can take care of this matter. You must give enough rewards. If he is not satisfied with the position of lieutenant, I can find a way to make him the General of the Central Army! As long as he is loyal to me and loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty, I will never treat him badly!"

Yang Chen said: "Old minister, obey the order!"

So the next day, Li Rui received the task of being promoted to Tiger Cavalry Captain, even with armor, flags, seals, and documents. He held the seals and was confused: "Is this my promotion?"

Beigong Jing said: "Yes, I've been promoted from Quhou to the lieutenant."

Li Rui blinked: "In other words, I have a set up too?"

Beigong Jing said: "There is an agency, but there is no salary."

This is the truth. The court now has long lost the ability to pay wages to civil and military officials.

Li Rui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have a salary, I'll send it to myself!"

Yang Xiu snorted: "It's just promotion to lieutenant, not promotion to general. The official with Sesame is so happy that you can't find the North. It's really not good!"

Li Rui's mood was not affected at all: "Capital, I'm not a big official, I'm in charge of two or three thousand people!"

Well, the modern fake one is also a regiment commander. The regiment commander in his early twenties is a miracle. Can he treat his father, who has been the battalion commander for more than ten years, so he is so jealous that his eyes are red?

Yang Xiu looked disdainful: "Now the captain is better than the dog. If you have made such a great contribution, a captain will send you away, and he will smile foolishly as if he had picked up a treasure. Can you have some success?"

This was a bit disappointing, but the current lieutenant was not very valuable. During the Han Dynasty, the lieutenant was very awesome, commanding tens of thousands of elite imperial guards. This not only required outstanding abilities, but also a very strong family background. Have you heard of the Eight Chiefs of Xiyuan? Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were all members of the Eight Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs, and they were so awesome. However, since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the value of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs of the Chiefs was the Chiefs. In other words, there were at least thirty-six captains in the imperial guards alone, which was a bit overwhelming and naturally they were not worth it. In Yang Xiu's opinion, a captain did not even have the qualification to enter the Yang family's door. What's there to be happy about?

Yang Jun said: "Xiao'er, don't be nonsense! Li Zhengwei has made great achievements after hard battles and has achieved great military achievements. We should be happy for him!"

Yang Xiu snorted, unable to figure out what was there to be happy about. In her opinion, Li Rui made such great achievements and was not too much to directly be appointed as a general of the Central Army. The court sent him away with only one lieutenant. He still felt that being a lieutenant was a happy thing, it was really helpless!

Pei Wei was promoted, but he was only half a level and became a commander, and he was at his commander. Li Rui looked at Pei Wei and saw him depressed, and he was secretly happy. This guy always looked like he was timid. Except for Beigong Jing, he basically didn't accept anyone, and he couldn't argue with him. Now, it's over, right?

The commander is one level lower than the commander.

After Pei Wei took over the seal and the appointment document, Li Rui said with a slight smile: "Brother Pei, please take care of him in the future!"

It would be fine if he didn't speak, but Pei Wei became even more depressed when he spoke.

The conscience of heaven and earth. In the battle of Xincheng, Pei Wei's performance was absolutely magnificent. When attacking Xincheng, the Hu people were tenacious in defense, with arrows and stones like rain. The Liangzhou army suffered many setbacks. He was the first to rush up to the city wall with a large shield and swung the long sword. He knocked down the Hu people on the city wall, and opened a breakthrough on the Hu people's defense line. What is this? This is called first landing! This military achievement is definitely enough, enough for generations to enjoy. That night, the Hu people attacked at night, and the situation was critical. He rushed out with wounds and armor and dozens of plots to fight with Hu people, killing more than ten Hu people's fierce soldiers. His wounds collapsed and blood flowed out. When he was helped down, everyone discovered that half of his boots were filled with blood in his two leather boots!

He was so desperate and made such military achievements, and he was just a captain. He was depressed to think about it.

However, Pei Wei also knew very well that his military achievements were far from Li Rui. At the most critical moment, he used a gunpowder pot to surprise and shocked the Hu people who attacked the city, causing the Liangzhou army to turn defeat into victory. He also set up a moon formation to help the Liangzhou army fight with less and kill more than 20,000 enemies in one battle. Compared with these military achievements, his little military achievements were really nothing. Li Rui was just a captain. It is great that he could be a captain!
