Xu Rong did not hesitate, hugged his fists and said: "The last general, Xu Rong, meet the lord." ”

Wang Lei had a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "General Xu, please take a seat!" Xu Rong sat down as he said, but he was sitting upright. Wang Lei thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "General Xu has just arrived, I appointed General Xu as a guerrilla general and will fight with me, okay?" ”

Xu Rong said: "Thank you, lord. ”

Wang Lei said: "Someone! ”

A soldier walked in from outside the tent and stood with a bow.

Wang Lei instructed: "Convene the generals to discuss the matter." ”

"No!"

The soldier turned and walked away to deliver orders.

After a while, Guo Jia, Xianbei, Fu Zhu and other ministers arrived, and immediately after, Lu Bu, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai and other generals also arrived in the camp. Wang Lei's eyes were sharp, he swept over the people present one by one, and said slowly: "Xu Rong led the people to surrender, and with his assistance, it will be easy to take the state and conquer it." ”

After a pause, Wang Lei's eyes fell on Lu Bu and ordered: "Feng Xian is a native of Bingzhou, and he once served as the chief secretary of Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, and he is familiar with the situation in Bingzhou. I will leave the task of leveling and merging the state to you, and Xu Rong will assist. ”

Lu Bu stood up and said excitedly: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely capture the state in the shortest possible time." ”

Xu You stood up and said: "After the capture of Bingzhou, there is a need for a thorn history, who will the lord let him do?" ”

When Wang Lei heard this, he fell into deep thought.

Bingzhou is the barrier to the west of Jizhou, bordering Chang'an and Luoyang, and is a very important strategic location. Wang Lei wanted to send troops to attack Chang'an, and Bingzhou was one of the exits.

Wang Lei's eyes fell on the trial and said, "The trial hearing order!" ”

"The minister is here!"

The judge stood up, but his heart was pounding.

At this time, it was called out, and the situation was already obvious.

Wang Lei instructed: "When Mr. Zhengnan followed me, it was a time when Jizhou was worried about internal and external troubles. Over the years, Mr. Zhengnan has done a lot of work for the development and consolidation of Jizhou. Mr. Zhengnan is upright, decisive in his actions, and outstanding, and I am relieved that Mr. Zhengnan has served as the assassin of the state. ”

The judge bowed and said: "Don't worry, the lord will do his best to govern and merge the state for the lord." ”

Wang Lei nodded, thinking: After the trial and release as an official, there is one less subordinate official under Wang Lei, and it needs to be supplemented, but this is a follow-up matter.

Wang Lei also said: "The judge is responsible for the internal affairs of the state. Lü Bu and Xu Rong dispatched troops to control the annexation of the state in the fastest time. ”

"No!"

Judge, Lu Bu and Xu Rong were ordered to prepare immediately.

Xu You's eyes rolled, and the corner of his eye swept away the departing judge, and there was a burst of envy in his heart.

The trial is really good luck, and he was directly promoted to the history of the state assassin. However, Xu You also understands that he is different from the judge, frustrated, Tian Feng and others, Tian Feng, frustrated and others followed Wang Lei from the beginning and were Wang Lei's henchmen. He was subordinated to Wang Lei later, and the weight was obviously worse.

Wang Lei's eyes looked at Shi Ah again, and ordered: "Shi A, pay close attention to Huang Zhong and Zhang Jaw's situation. At the same time, tell the two of them that if they conquer the state, I will enter Chang'an from the state and contain Li Ru's forces for them. ”

"No!"

Shi Ah nodded, remembering it in his heart.

The people discussed the next arrangements before they dispersed.

……

Dangyin County, county hall.

Li Ru personally led a large army to kill and stationed in Dangyin County.

In the hall, Li Ru's henchmen Xu Huang, Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Duan Xuan and others all gathered here.

Li Ru squinted his eyes slightly, his slender eyes revealed a touch of gloom, and said slowly: "This attack on Ye County is not only related to the pattern of the world, but also related to the future of my Xiliang Army. Therefore, this battle can only be won and not lost. ”

After a pause, Li Ru said again: "Wang Lei's troops are divided into three ways to meet the attack, as long as we defeat Huang Zhong along the way and approach Ye County, the troops led by Wang Lei will definitely be affected." At that time, Wang Lei could only withdraw from Bingzhou and support Ye County. Wang Lei withdrew his troops, and Wang Lei's strategy of using a three-way army to meet it collapsed. ”

Dong Yue said: "Taiwei's analysis is reasonable, but there is also a problem. Once Xu Rong's army is defeated, Wang Lei will go south and go west to Chang'an, and we will also be affected. Taiwei, our strategy against Wang Lei may also restrain us in turn. ”

The corners of Li Ru's mouth rose, his expression was confident, and he said: "General Dong's analysis is reasonable, but it is precisely because of this that we must seize the time to defeat Huang Zhong in the shortest possible time and attack Ye County, so that Wang Lei will not be able to make a difference in Bingzhou." ”

Xu Huang nodded and said, "Tai Wei, there is a question in the end. ”

"What's the doubt?" Li Rudao.

Xu Huang replied: "Does the Taiwei plan to destroy Wang Lei, or to weaken Wang Lei?" ”

Li Ru laughed and quipped: "Gongming, this question shouldn't come out of your mouth. Wang Lei has Youzhou and Jizhou, with many generals and strong strength, even if we enter Ye County, Wang Lei can still retreat to Youzhou. In this battle, we defeated Wang Lei at most and carved up Jizhou with Cao Cao. To destroy Wang Lei, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky. ”

In Li Ru's opinion, it is impossible to destroy Wang Lei.

Not to mention Wang Lei's own ability, Wang Lei's Wenchen and military generals are full of talents, and these people are extremely united, it is difficult to defeat Wang Lei. It can weaken Wang Lei's strength and maintain the situation of disputes among the princes, which is already a pretty good result.

Xu Huang said: "I think Taiwei is too conservative, we have a three-way army, and it is not difficult to attack Jizhou." After defeating Wang Lei's three-way army and forcing Wang Lei to merge with the state, he had a chance to destroy Wang Lei. ”

Li Ru smiled lightly and said, "I won't comment on Gongming's analysis. Our task at this stage is to defeat Huang Zhong and enter Jizhou. Once this task is done, it is not too late to make judgments. ”

Xu Huang nodded and stopped arguing.

Li Ru asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of our army?" ”

Niu Fu thought for a while, and said arrogantly: "In this battle, the Taiwei has fully dispatched 100,000 troops. Our 100,000 troops will definitely be able to defeat the Jizhou army that is killing in Dangyin County. Then he directly killed Ye County and forced Wang Lei to withdraw. ”

Niu Fu's strategy is very simple, it is a simple hard hit.

Dong Yue shook his head lightly and said, "Fighting head-on, we are not afraid of the Jizhou army." But this kind of fighting, for us, can be said to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, I don't think it's appropriate. ”

Duan Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Captain, there is a plan below. ”

"What's the strategy?" Li Ru asked.

Duan Xuan replied: "General Niu said to enter the army directly, I agree. However, it is also necessary to send another cavalry, day and night, quietly enter Jizhou, and go to Ye County. Wang Lei went out to fight in three armies, and he had already dispatched all the troops in Jizhou. And Huang Zhong led the army to Dangyin County to kill and took the initiative to march into the army, which made Ye County's troops weak. ”

Duan Xuan said excitedly: "At this time, the Taiwei led the army to attract Huang Zhong's attention, and the strange soldiers attacked Ye County, and they will definitely be able to take Ye County in one battle." When the time comes, Huang Zhong's army will be cut off and will be defeated. ”

Li Ru's eyes lit up and said, "General Duan's strategy is quite good, are you willing to take on this important task?" ”

Duan Xuan hugged his fists and said, "Captain, the minister is willing to take on this heavy responsibility." ”

Li Ru asked, "How many troops do you need?" ”

Duan Xuan replied: "Five thousand elites will definitely be able to capture Ye County." ”

Xu Huang suddenly spoke: "Captain, General Duan's strategy is very good, but I don't think it's direct enough, so I went around in a little circle." ”

Li Ru said: "What does Gongming think? ”

Duan Xuan squinted his eyes, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Xu Huang ignored Duan Xuan's eyes, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "The strategy is very simple, since our troops can avoid the realization of Huang Zhong's army and go around to Huang Zhong's back, why don't we choose to attack Huang Zhong's rear camp when we are fighting with Huang Zhong?" Once the rear camp of the Jizhou army is breached, Huang Zhong will undoubtedly be defeated. ”

When Duan Xuan heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

After careful consideration, Duan Xuan had to admit that Xu Huang's strategy was better.

Ye County's troops are weak, but Ye County is the base camp of Jizhou, and the city is strong, even if the defenders are weak, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the surprise soldiers attacked Huang Zhong's rear camp was different, once Huang Zhong's rear camp was breached, the grain, grass, equipment, etc. were destroyed, and the tens of thousands of troops under Huang Zhong's command instantly fell into a dangerous situation and were in a dilemma.

After Duan Xuan thought about it clearly, he took the initiative to say, "Captain, the last general agrees with General Xu's suggestion. ”

Duan Xuan was disgusted with Xu Huang for disturbing his good deeds, but he took the initiative to bring it up because he wanted to show it in front of Li Ru.

Li Ru smiled slightly and said, "Compared to General Duan's strategy, Gongming's strategy is indeed better. In this case, I adjusted the strategy, General Duan led 5,000 elites to go around to Huang Zhong's back, and when I led the army to fight Huang Zhong head-on, General Duan led the army to attack Huang Zhong's rear camp. ”

"No!"

Duan Xuan nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

……

Chang'an, Yiwu.

Prime Minister's Mansion, in the hall.

Today's Dong Huang has grown a beard, and he has been in the position of Xiangguo for a long time, pampered and pampered, and naturally developed a momentum. He looked at Dong Lian and said in a deep voice: "Li Ru led the army to battle, and his henchmen Xu Huang, Xu Rong, Dong Yue, Niu Fu and others all left Chang'an. Today, there are very few people left in Chang'an by Li Ru. Do you think you can take back your rights at this time? ”

Dong Lian hurriedly persuaded: "Xiangguo, don't do it!" ”

Dong Huang said puzzledly: "Brother Lian has always supported me to regain my rights, how can I speak out against it?" ”

Dong Lian said: "When you return to Xiangguo, you have to deal with Li Ru and score a clear time." Now we are fighting with Wang Lei, if we seize power in Chang'an, Li Ru's army is in chaos, can we resist Wang Lei? Once it can't be stopped, Wang Lei's army will enter Luoyang and approach Chang'an. Without Li Ru's army, what can we do to resist Wang Lei? ”

Dong Lian said bitterly: "During the war, not only can we not dismantle Li Ru's platform, but we must vigorously support Li Ru and show Xiangguo's mind." If Xiangguo wants to seize power, he can only do it after Li Ru wins. ”

After Dong Huang heard this, he said in awe: "Brother Chain is wise, if it weren't for Brother Chain, I would have almost made a big mistake." ”

Dong Lian said: "Xiangguo has won the award, I just don't want Wang Lei to benefit." The battle between us and Li Ru is an internal struggle between our own people, and when we defeat Wang Lei, we will clean up Li Ru. ”

Dong Huang asked, "What does Brother Chain think about this battle?" ”

Dong Lian replied: "In order to show Xiangguo's mind, I suggest sending someone to escort grain to Dangyin County, on the one hand, to reward the army, and on the other hand, to reward Li Ru." ”

Dong Huang flicked his sleeves and said, "This matter is handled by Brother Lian with full authority." ”

"No!"

Dong Lian nodded, then turned around and left the hall to carry out the task.
