Regarding Jia Xu's private contact with the generals below, it is impossible to say that Li Wei and Guo Yan don't mind at all.

Whether it is the lord of a country or the lord of an army, it is very taboo for the people below to act without permission, and it is the same now. But this kind of assertion saved the fate of Li Dao and Guo Yan, and the two of them couldn't show their displeasure in their hearts.

Jia Xu is their most important strategist, they still have many places where Jia Xu needs to help them give advice, and that general can lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to gallop on the battlefield, and the level of status is definitely not under ordinary generals.

What's more, how can the two who have just been saved their fate be unhappy.

So when the entire Guanzhong area was in deep famine, the two held a banquet in Hangu Pass and summoned almost all the generals. And Jia Xu and the general, who saved the fate of the whole army, became the center of the entire banquet.

Many generals held wine cups and wanted to toast a glass.

However, Jia Xu is a literati, he is still very weak, he was born in Xiliang but he is not good at drinking, and everyone here is very clear about this, after Jia Xu drank a few glasses, he was no longer embarrassed, but turned his target to the general next to him.

For a while, the wine in the general's wine cup was almost never broken, but after a moment or three of effort, the whole person was already drunk. In the end, it fell directly on the table, sweeping the food on the table to the ground.

If people outside see this, I'm afraid it will be distressing.

At this time, in the Guanzhong area, famine was common, and even those who were once wealthy families sometimes needed to go hungry. In many Chang'an families, if you want to have a banquet like today, even if it is a major festival, you may not be able to come once. However, this is limited to these people, not to Li Dao. No matter how dilapidated Chang'an City is, it is also one of the largest cities in the world, especially when Dong Zhuo moved the capital, almost all the people of Luoyang and the rich families in the city moved to Chang'an. This makes the size of Chang'an City even larger.

With such a huge volume in place, the wealth hidden in it is also very staggering. And Li Dao, who occupies Chang'an City, only needs to be diligent to scrape it, and they can enjoy it for the rest of their lives.

It is the same now, although the whole world is in deep famine, but with the previous series of harvests, they can still drink wine and meat forests, and sing songs night and night.

This is also the most important reason why they are unwilling to give up their rights, if they give up these rights, not to mention the fear of living every day, they will never be able to taste such a day again.

"Sir, now that our army has suffered heavy losses, but the Son of Heaven and Yan Shao have already gained a firm foothold in Luoyang, I don't know what kind of trick Mr. has?"

Pouring himself a full cup, Li Wei came to Jia Xu with a smile on his face, and saw that his cup was still full, and he didn't do anything else, just asked what he was most concerned about.

To be precise, this is also a problem that Xiliangjun is most concerned about today.

Originally, the whole army rushed from Chang'an City in high spirits to bring the Son of Heaven back, but even the Kwantung soldiers and horses did not pay attention to it. Who knew that instead of getting the Son of Heaven back, they suffered a big defeat and suffered heavy losses themselves.

Although this was mainly due to the fact that they fell into each other's tricks, the morale of the whole army still suffered a certain blow. I was also a little confused about what to do in the future.

"Although our army forced the other side back with the reinforcements that came back, it was a heavy casualties, if you see it below, it is better to collect the troops and go back to Chang'an, and then make a plan. And right now, in the direction of Chang'an, Ma Teng is eyeing him, and the two generals can't leave for a long time..."Seeing that both of them asked his opinion, Jia Xu immediately persuaded him.

Jia Xu originally had a loyal heart to the Han family, so he naturally saw the Han family perish like this not far away. When Li Dao and Guo Yan caught up before, Jia Xu wanted to persuade them, but at that time, they were strong and the son of heaven was weak, and direct persuasion not only had a chance of success, but might even attract suspicion from the two, which was not something Jia Xu would do.

Yes, he was indeed loyal to the Han family, but this loyalty was based on the condition that it would not threaten Dao's own safety. Anything that would threaten his life, Jia Xu would never do.

Now it's different, Guo and Li have just suffered a big loss, and the soldiers and horses in their hands have also lost a lot. I don't have much confidence in whether I can catch the Son of Heaven back, and the chances of success are better if I persuade him at this time.

Jia Xu's proposal made Guo Yan a little moved.

In his opinion, the Son of Heaven has run away, the most important thing is the strength in their hands, as long as they have enough strength in their hands, even if the Son of Heaven really regains power in the future, it will take a lot of time to trouble them.

It's hard to say if there can even be that day, after all, today's Kanto group of heroes are divided, Yan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, etc., I really want to clean up these people, who knows if it will be the Year of the Monkey?

However, before Guo Yan could speak, Li Wei next to him had already shook his head vigorously.

"No, we sent troops once, and we didn't get any benefits, and we lost our troops, so how could the brothers be willing to retreat like this?" More importantly, if that were the case, it would undermine their prestige.

Any general commanding troops and horses needs to have enough prestige. Winning a battle can boost a general's prestige, while losing a battle can do the opposite. Don't look at the fact that they are still here to celebrate their achievements, in fact, everyone present knows that they have just suffered a fiasco.

If they really ran back to Chang'an like this, the two of them would inevitably lose their prestige in the eyes of their subordinates.

Guo Yan also knew this, and his intention to speak faded.

Since Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Army has been in chaos, such as Li Dao and Guo Yan are just the two biggest leaders, even if the other generals of the Xiliang Army have run a lot now, this does not mean that there are only two of them left in the current Xiliang Army.

I don't know how many people are eyeing their status.

Hearing Li Wei's words, Jia Xu sighed slightly regretfully, but continued.

"In that case, there is only a second way. However, before proceeding to the second route, the two generals need to check yesterday's casualties. ”

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Yesterday's casualties were definitely not small, originally they had an advantage over the coalition forces, but because of this fiasco, it is difficult to say how much advantage there is left. Yesterday, when Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses to attack from behind, the soldiers and horses in front were fine, but the soldiers and horses behind were killed and turned on their backs. Forget it, the key is that the discipline of the Xiliang Army was quite poor, and there was no organization at all.

It's just that courage usually comes and goes quickly.

This time they were stabbed in the back, which immediately made them a little dizzy. In the case of the soldiers and horses could not be stabilized, there was a large riot inside, many soldiers and horses in the back pushed and trampled each other in order to dodge, and there were no less than 100 soldiers who were trampled to death by their own people, so you can imagine how many casualties there were.

—————— Dividing Line——————

In the eyes of everyone, Jia Xu's words are still very reasonable.

Before making a final decision, you should first find out your own situation. Otherwise, if yesterday's casualties were very large, but they still led the soldiers and horses to find the door, wouldn't that be tantamount to looking for death?

The most important thing at the moment is to count how many troops are left, and how many troops can be used?

So they handed over the matter to Jia Xu, and after Jia Xu took over the matter, he immediately called a few of the army's capable staff members over to take charge of assistance.

Although the military discipline of the Xiliang Army is sloppy, it still has a certain degree of discipline, and after the army is dispersed, except for a few who have fallen apart, almost all the remaining soldiers have found their own teams. Of course, compared to the previous ones, there must be fewer people this time. Some of them died in previous battles, and many simply ran away—————— for these people, a tailwind battle was fine, because they all knew very well that a tailwind battle meant that the battle would be won in the end.

Go and fight a battle that is sure to be won, and everyone will move forward.

Nowadays, most of the soldiers have found their own team, but a few have not.

However, under the statistics of the staff, the current situation of Xiliang Army was quickly sorted out and reported to Guo and Li. Both Li Dao and Guo Yan are a little unbelievable. The casualties were staggering, almost negligible of their advantage over the coalition forces.

This time, the soldiers and horses they brought out from Chang'an were about sixty or seventy thousand, but in the battle not long ago, there were more than 10,000 dead and wounded, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

If it weren't for the faster speed of the troops and horses brought back by Jia Xu, I'm afraid the casualties would be even greater, and even if the whole army was wiped out, it was not impossible.

It's just that...

Behind such huge casualties, there is an even heavier revenge. This time, let alone Li Dao, even Guo Yan was unwilling to give up like that. After all, the losses are so heavy, why don't you find some scenes to come back?

As for the Son of Heaven, the importance at this time has decreased a little...

It's just that...

The casualties are so huge that the odds are...

"The two generals rest assured, our casualties are not small, and the casualties of the coalition forces on the opposite side are just as huge..." Seeing that both of them looked at him, as if they wanted to get some advice from him, Jia Xu immediately spoke.

"The reason why we suffered such heavy casualties this time was because we didn't expect Ma Teng's soldiers and horses to attack from behind and fall into chaos, causing the whole army to almost collapse. But don't forget, before Ma Teng's soldiers arrived, it was us who had the advantage on the field..."

Li Dao and Guo Yan instantly understood what he meant, yes, they suffered a lot of casualties in the previous duel, but in the case of attracting the attention of Guo and Li, their casualties were just as big, even if they were not as big as Li Dao and Guo Yan, there was always three or five thousand, right?

Just like the casualties of more than 10,000 people are very huge for Guo Li, these casualties are definitely not a small number for Yan Shao and them.

Now the advantages of Guo and Li have indeed been weakened a lot, but they are not as good as they imagined, the advantage is still there, but if they want to get what they want, it will be more difficult than before.

"In that case..."

—————— Dividing Line——————

Just when Guo Li and Jia Xu were still planning there, at the same time in the camp outside Luoyang City, Yan Shao and Cao Cao also took their generals to greet Ma Chao, who had just arrived.

Ma Chao, who finally put the soldiers and horses in order, was late, but he was riding on horseback and wearing silver armor, but he was unusually eye-catching.

"This son is really heroic, Ma Teng has a good son..."Looking at Ma Chao's heroic appearance, Cao Cao said with some envy.

One of the greatest aspirations of people in these days is to have a good son. Seriously, his son is already extraordinary. It can even be said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's descendants were the most outstanding ones.

Whether it is Cao Pi, or Cao Zhi, or Cao Zhang, Cao Chong, etc., they can all be said to be truly outstanding talents, no matter which one they are, they can be used as heirs. On the other hand, looking at Cao Cao's opponents in history, Yuan Shao's son is mediocre to the extreme, and Yuan Tan's ability is somewhat subordinate, but unfortunately he is more like a general who has more than enough to enter.

Yuan Shang's words seem to have some ability, but there is no room for him to play at all, and the record left for him in history is that he is handsome and abnormal, and the other is that after running to Liaodong, he was slaughtered with a knife.

As for the second son? That's probably the least existential one.

The other two opponents Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Adou's reputation is also very controversial in history, some people think that he is a real fool, and even suspect that he was thrown by Liu Bei, and some people think that he is wise and foolish, otherwise it is impossible to get longer than the Sima family.

But in the end, the demise of Shu still has something to do with this person after all.

As for Sun Quan...

Forget it, I still don't mention it...

Sun Jian's two sons are extraordinary, but Sun Quan...

Now although Cao Cao has several sons, he is not very old, even if he has any intelligence, it is difficult to show it, and now when he sees the young and heroic Ma Chao, he is naturally envious.

In comparison, Yan Shao didn't have so many ideas.

Although he is also a prince, after all, he is not a person of this era, and he does not attach importance to the issue of future generations, so although those people in his house all want to have a child, he is not in a hurry.

Now that I see Ma Chao, I just like it, and of course, I compare it with Zhao Yun around me.

In fact, not only Yan Shao and Cao Cao were paying attention to Ma Chao, but Ma Chao was also paying attention to them, but then Ma Chao turned his attention to Zhao Yun. Ma Chao didn't have much contact with Zhao Yun in the past, but in the fight just now, he had seen Zhao Yun's martial arts.

In Xiliang, there are almost few people who can compete with him in martial arts, and now it is rare to meet a natural hunter.
