Chapter 107: Soldiers Coming to Chang'an
Cao Cao's camp is a big tent of the Chinese army.
"My lord, Ren asked to lead three thousand elite horsemen to cut off the connection between Chang'an and Lantian after going around."
Cao Ren arched his hand.
After Cao's army broke through the Huangni Pass, Cao Ren, as the vanguard, fought steadily all the way to Lantian territory, and after encountering Xu Rong's Lantian defenders several times, they won and lost each other.
It was not until Cao Cao led the rear army that Xu Rong withdrew and left.
After several battles, Cao Ren also figured out Xu Rong's combat style a little.
If the stalemate continues here, it will fall into the calculations of the other party.
"Okay, give you 3,000 fine horsemen, set off immediately, if you find the enemy's grain storage place, if you can destroy it, then fight, if the enemy and us have a great disparity in strength, don't do it easily, send someone back to report."
Cao Cao agreed to Cao Ren's suggestion.
When the two armies are fighting, there are only two ways to cause a reversal trend, one is to cut off food, and the other is to divide the situation.
The difficult and dangerous channels for transporting grain for his troops, and the narrow terrain near the Huangni Pass, not only protected the grain transportation team from being vulnerable to the surprise attack of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but also caused some trouble to the Cao army.
Grain is transported slowly and in small quantities.
Even at this moment, the camp of the Cao army was not far from the terrain near the Huangni Pass, relying on the steepness and setting up camp to prevent Xu Rong from suddenly sending cavalry to attack.
......
Lu Bu and Zhang Ji rushed on horseback, went all the way south from Yangling County, arrived at Baling County, rested for an hour, crossed the Bahe River directly, and rode 8,000 wolves from Bingzhou, plus Zhang Ji's 20,000 Xiliang iron horses.
Nearly 30,000 cavalry, pointing directly at Chang'an, and Cao Cao's troops in the direction of Lantian supported each other.
"Stay on the spot, wait for Bonghyo and Mr. Wenhe to arrive here, and then discuss."
Chang'an City has high walls and thick walls, and Lu Bu led the cavalry, which is difficult to overcome, so he can only wait for the rear foot soldiers to arrive.
"Whoa."
Zhang Ji divided his subordinates into two, led 10,000 people to garrison himself, and the other 10,000 people were handled by Lu Bu with full authority.
[Isn't this guy afraid of death? handed over half of the military power to Lu Bu. 】
[This is exactly Zhang Ji's cleverness, it must have been taught by that guy Jia Xu. 】
[In terms of self-protection ability, I, Jia Wenhe, recognize the second, and no one dares to say the first. 】
The 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Lu Bu arranged them to Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, and one person led 5,000.
Since Zhang Ji showed his loyalty and threw the name certificate up, Lu Bu couldn't help but consider the issue of response, Zhang Xiu was Zhang Ji's nephew, so there was nothing wrong with arranging it like this.
The infantry contingent of the rear army finally arrived at noon on the second day, and an unpleasant thing happened in the troops.
Dian Wei and one of Zhang Ji's subordinates were on the bar.
That subordinate is called Hu Che'er.
The two were outside the tent of the Chinese military camp, bare-handed, and competed.
Bang bang bang!
Punch to the flesh!
Even if Dian Wei had excellent practical skills and pressed Hu Che'er under him several times, if he hadn't been afraid that the other party had just surrendered to Cheng and had become a teammate, he would have had too many scruples, and Dian Wei would have used a halberd to dismantle him.
Unexpectedly, Hu Che'er had rough skin and thick flesh, and great strength, and struggled to get up several times in weak situations.
Swing your fist at Dian Wei again.
"Hu Che'er, stop."
Zhang Ji drank.
Lu Bu waved his hand, and Dian Wei walked back behind Lu Bu, his eyes still staring at Hu Che'er.
[It turned out to be a fateful duel, I said why are the two so angry! ] 】
[How can I drop your iron halberd with Hu Che'er, can the two armies be called stealing the enemy? 】
[Fortunately, the anchor did not involve Zhang Ji's wife, otherwise would he be like Boss Cao, who died of the general, the eldest son, and the nephew? ] 】
[Don't say it, Lu Bu said that I am an anchor who has no feelings. 】
"Why did you get into a fight, or even a fight?"
Lu Bu asked.
"Report to the state pastor, I wanted to report the situation in the army to Mr. Wenhe, but was intercepted."
Hu Che'er replied.
The military situation report on peacetime, and all the generals in the army went directly to Jia Xu, which was ordered by Zhang Ji.
And at any time before, no one stopped him from entering Jia Xu's tent.
"On the orders of Mr. Xiao, I will always guard Mr. Wenhe, and no one is allowed to enter without reporting."
Dian Wei replied.
I see.
Lu Bu knew in his heart, "Hu Che'er, you can follow Zhang Xiu's side in the future, and the military situation can be reported to Zhang Xiu." ”
"Hu Che'er remembers Lu Bingzhou's instructions."
......
In the city of Chang'an.
Dong Zhuo suddenly heard that Zhang Ji was about to turn against him and surrender to Lu Bu, and he was immediately furious.
"I knew that our family kicked that Zhang Ji back to Xiliang with one kick, and there were so many things."
His face was flushed and he was furious, Dong Zhuo swept all the food on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand.
The two small yellow doors next to them were frightened, and they hurriedly squatted on the ground and cleaned up their meals.
"Don't rub it off, pass on Li and Guo Yan, hurry up."
The enemy army has already reached the vicinity of Chang'an, and there is no time to delay.
Xiao Huangmen lowered his head, walked away quickly, and went to the outside of the hall to spread Dong Zhuo's order.
It didn't take long for Li and Guo Yan to enter the palace.
"The two of you will lead 50,000 Xiliang iron horsemen, and immediately set off to block Lu Bu and the traitor Zhang Ji fifty miles away from the east gate of Chang'an."
Dong Zhuo said coldly, Fan Chou has no news, it is estimated that he has been executed by Zhang Ji.
At the moment, only Li Dao and Guo Yan are still usable.
As for Lantian in the southeast of Chang'an, there are Xu Rong and Han Sui, who can resist Cao Cao for a while.
After Li Guo and the others left, Dong Zhuo thought twice, I am afraid that he would have to go to the front line in person.
"Pass the cow and lead the flying bear army."
East Gate of Chang'an.
Before leaving, Dong Zhuo entrusted Chang'an to Li Ru.
"It's all up to Wenyou."
After tidying up his armor, Dong Zhuo turned over and got on his horse.
"Drive!"
The war horse carried Dong Zhuo's increasingly obese body and ran hard.
Li Ru turned around and went back and found Hua Xiong.
"How many troops can you command?"
"Not much, only a thousand henchmen."
Hua Xiong replied honestly that he was not treated by Dong Zhuo, and the military power given to him by the other party was only a formality, and when he was needed to charge into battle, he would often send a henchman to divide the military power.
Once the fighting was over, the troops were taken back.
"It's not enough."
Li Ru shook his head.
Dong Zhuo said on the surface that he would hand over Chang'an to Li Ru, but in fact, due to the rebellion of the captain guarding the gate last time, Dong Zhuo was even more suspicious, and the gates of Chang'an City were all replaced by his own henchmen.
For Dong Zhuo's henchmen, Li Ru only has the right to suggest, not the right to command.
"I still have to go to two places."
Let Hua Xiong stand by in place, Li Ru moved his steps and came to a small courtyard.
Knock.
Sincere!
Tuk tuk!
Sincere!
Crunch, the courtyard door opened, and a small guy dressed as an ordinary person, after seeing Li Ru, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately recovered.
After entering the courtyard, go straight to the guest room.
"Ma Yiyi, I've seen Wen Xiansheng."
The horses bowed their hands one by one.
Some time ago, he went back to Jinyang to deal with the picket case of the officials of the Jinyi Weiming Department, and Tian Feng found him and asked Ma Yiyi to rush to Chang'an immediately.
Due to the hurry of things, Ma Yiyi took fifty guards trained by Wang Yue, dispersed, entered Chang'an one after another, and successfully caught Li Ru's line.
Tian Feng had two arrangements, one was to let Ma Yiyi discuss with Wang Yun, and later Yuan Kui's death, Ma Yiyi could not contact Wang Yun.
The second plan can only be executed, to test Li Ru.
There is no accident that Ma Yiyi was arranged by Li Ru one by one and suffered inhuman torture, but fortunately he survived.
"You are acting recklessly and are not fit for this position."
This is the evaluation that Li Ru said after believing in Ma Yiyi's identity at that time.
