For the wise, using strength and fear to subdue others and make them do what they want them to do is the most despised, because there is no technical content in it. However, I have to admit that this method is simple, but it is the most direct and efficient way

Simple and effective, that's what works best

If you make things complicated just to show off your technical content, that's what a truly wise man wouldn't do

This is the case with Jia Xu at the moment, although he has many ways to get the people who have been arrested to say what they want to know. But he didn't, because it was easy, but it was time-consuming, and there were many steps to be taken in the process, which was too cumbersome

In contrast, he had the simplest solution

force

Force combined with fear, there is nothing more straightforward and effective than this

It turned out that Jia Xu's point of view was correct, although there were many ways to get these people to speak, but after killing more than a dozen people, Jia Xu got the answer he wanted. Maybe this is not what he wants to know, just Li Dao, but what does it matter

Looking at the young man standing tremblingly in front of him, with a look of fear on his face, Li Wei showed a satisfied expression.

"Very good, since you are telling the truth, I will definitely not embarrass you, you can go back for the time being, and then walk with the army tomorrow, as long as you can take my soldiers and horses to find the path in the mountains, I can ensure that you eat and drink without worry"

Who wanted to listen to Li Dao's words, but the young man said with a frightened face. "No, no, no, my lord, don't send me back, don't!"

Li Dao was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what was going on, the people he usually met were all eager to shout for the people above to send him back, but now the one in front of him was so good that he actually refused. Not only did he refuse, but he also let himself take him away quickly?

To be reasonable, such a situation is too rare, which makes Li Dao a little confused

But soon

Now that he saw the expressions of the surviving people behind the young man, he understood

"I see" The right hand slowly rested on the beard on his chin, and Li Wei smiled slightly.

Knowing the path of Hangu Pass was actually not a fault, Li Dao believed that there were definitely not a few people present who knew about it, and even those who might have been killed knew it. It's just that before he could speak, he was wiped on the neck with a knife by Li Wei's subordinates.

The problem is that more than a dozen people have died in front of him, and this person has only told the existence of Xiaolu. Maybe the others are nothing, but what about the relatives of those who have died? How would they feel?

Now, if this young man is allowed to walk back, I am afraid that it will not be long before he will be beaten to death by those who have lost his relatives, and it is no wonder that he will ask to follow Li Dao's side—————— even if he knows that Li Dao is a living wolf? At least this evil wolf doesn't plan to eat him for the time being, and his fellow citizens hate him to the core

Li Dao is not a particularly benevolent person, everyone knows this. His temperament is not as cruel as Dong Zhuo, and he is definitely not a kind-hearted person, and it is impossible for him to do anything good. What really made him help the young man was because he thought it was interesting, and because he needed a guide. A guide that would allow him to cross the Hangu Pass was of great importance before he had found the path.

After the young man received Li Dao's promise, he suddenly showed a happy expression as if he had been pardoned.

"With a guide, it's easy to get over Hanya Pass."

"Yes, but since we want to block the Son of Heaven and his entourage in Hangu Pass, the number of soldiers and horses is too small, and it is not okay if it is too weak" Speaking of this, Li Wei glanced at Guo Yan. "I heard that you have a group of elites under your command, which are very strong, and they should be taken out this time, right?"

"Heh, am I the only one?" Guo Yan also sneered.

The grievances between the two have been going on for a long time, Li Wei is a native of Niyang, Beidi County, and Guo Bi is a native of Zhangye, Liangzhou, and in terms of status, it is obvious that he is Dong Zhuo's early team. It's just that where there are people, there will be fights, and Dong Zhuo is not a particularly wise lord, of course, it is inevitable.

Originally, when Hua Xiong and the others were still there, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were fighting with each other, on the one hand, in order to be able to get a greater position in the Xiliang Army, it was best to get the position of Dong Zhuo's heir, and on the other hand, it was also to be able to gain more strength.

Because the situation of the Xiliang Army is actually very delicate, in the early years, Dong Zhuo as Yu Linlang, starting from the first year of Yongkang (167), turned to the Quartet, "Heroes" recorded that Dong Zhuo crusaded against Qiang and Hu, and he had seen a lot of battles, which was not a lie. This is also why in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Zhuo watched Lu Bu kill his own generals so unscrupulously, and in a fit of rage, he actually rode out to fight.

On the one hand, it was because what Lu Bu did did really anger Dong Zhuo, and on the other hand, it was also because Dong Zhuo was very confident in his own force value. You must know that Dong Zhuo was able to get to today's position precisely because of his bravery.

Dong Zhuo was first under Zhang Huan, and their army was one of the elites of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later, Zhang Wen and Huangfu Song led the main force of the Han army, at this time Dong Zhuo probably already had his own team, and he was arrogant in the face of his boss, Sun Jian tried to persuade Zhang Wen to kill Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Li also persuaded Huangfu Song to kill Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao also knew that Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing was a scourge, which shows that people at that time had already formed a fear of Dong Zhuo's troops.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, it was logical to recover the military power of Huangfu Song and the central government, and got the most elite troops in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the most famous is naturally Dong Zhuo let Lu Bu kill Ding Yuan, and seized all the military power of Ding Yuan, who controlled the official position of the forbidden army in the capital. It is unknown how Dong Zhuo allocated troops to his subordinates, but Dong Zhuojun's combat effectiveness was obviously higher than that of the Shandong princes, but Sun Jian was also a famous general in the Quartet and could fight with Dong Zhuojun.

Dong Zhuojun's factions are divided in this way, Dong Min, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, Duan Xuan, and Xu Rong are Zhonglang generals under Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Jia Xu are the generals under Niu Fu. At that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops were not in the army, and they were transferred by Dong Zhuo to attack the famous general Zhu Jun earlier, and beat him to the ground. Li Dao and Guo Yan already have tens of thousands of troops under their command, and their independence is indeed very strong, and the princes of the Kwantung region dare not say at will that I have tens of thousands of troops.

However, the more independent the soldiers and horses, the less likely they are to obey the orders of their superiors, especially after the boss has died, although the current Li Dao and Guo Yan are united for one purpose, in fact, they are full of contradictions with each other, as long as they take the Son of Heaven back. I'm afraid that before the Son of Heaven can be sent back to Chang'an, the two may break out in conflict first

It's just that

The most important thing at the moment is, after all, to regain the Son of Heaven, and no matter how big the grievances between the two are before this, they can only be put aside temporarily

Walking out from the side, Jia Xu smiled softly. "If the two generals start to do it at this time, I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven and the ministers will even laugh out loud in their sleep."

Jia Xu's words somewhat eased the atmosphere, and also made the two understand that now is indeed not the time to turn their faces. At this time, the only person who may make a profit is the Son of Heaven and his party.

"When the Son of Heaven takes it back, I must make you look good!" Almost vicious, Li Dao said.

Compared with him, Guo Yan kept smiling and groaning, and after hearing Li Wei's words, he only laughed softly. "Let's wait until you have the ability to do it."

This is to poke Li Dao's wound, after Dong Zhuo's old department counterattacked Chang'an, they divided the spoils to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji so ranked, according to the strength of the force to arrange, Li Meng once sent troops with Xu Rong to plunder, not under Niu Fu, Wang Fang and Fan Chou only recorded that it was Dong Zhuo's tribe. Yang Ding, this guy is a big man in Liangzhou like Hu Zhen, their power in Dong Zhuojun was originally a little stronger, but after Li Dao and Guo Yan entered Chang'an, they suddenly ran out to share the spoils and were squeezed out. Fan Chou and Han Sui were originally friends, and they were also people with stories, and they didn't do anything big in their lives, that is, they defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui with Guo Yan. At that time, Li Wei's nephew Li Li was under the command of Fan Chou, Li Li was unfavorable in battle, and was scolded by Fan Chou: "Ma Teng wants to cut off your uncle's head, you still dare to do this, believe it or not, I will cut you to death?" It is precisely because of this sentence that later in history, Hu Feng was ordered by Li Dao to kill Fan Chou.

But because of Yang Feng's betrayal, Li Dao was full of vitality, and his strength was no longer as good as when he had just mastered Chang'an. Even Guo Yan in front of him, this guy who could only barely form a stalemate with himself through other princes, has now become on a par with himself

"Humph!" If he could, Li Wei really wanted to kill this person, after all, as long as Guo Yan died, then Xiliangjun would be his turn to call the shots. It's a pity that this kind of thing can only be thought about at most, Guo Yan's strength is not worse than him, and he has won the hearts of the remnants of the Xiliang Army.

At least in terms of strategy, Guo Yan is indeed much stronger than Li Dao.

Yang Feng broke away from Li Dao's command at the beginning, although he didn't have much direct relationship with Guo Yan, but it is absolutely impossible to say that Guo Yan didn't even do a little action in it

After Li Wei couldn't help but leave with a negative anger, Guo Yan looked at Jia Xu with a smile. "Temperamental, and there is no city government, if the Xiliang army is handed over to this kind of person, I am afraid that it will really be not far from the annihilation of the whole army, are you right, sir?"

"General Li is an important general in the army, and he really doesn't dare to criticize himself," Jia Xu hurriedly said.

After all, the number of people around is definitely not small now, and no one dares to guarantee that no one will leak the secret of the conversation here. Although most of these people are confidants of Guo Yan and Li Dao, aren't things like spies all from confidants? Even Guo Yan himself didn't dare to guarantee that there was not even a single outsider among these henchmen around him.

As for Jia Xu, the so-called more is better than less

Even if you know that no one will eavesdrop around, you will never dare to grow at will

"Speaking of which, Mr. is also very kind, aren't you afraid that we will really block the Son of Heaven in the pass? Sir, you must know that neither I nor Lao Li will be merciful in this situation."

Of course, I can't stay

"I don't know what the general is talking about, I'm just doing my duty"

"Hmph" Guo Yan sneered, and didn't say anything.

—————— Dividing Line——————

At this time, the Son of Heaven and the others had not yet noticed the change in the situation, and after making sure that they were not attacked by anyone, both Liu Xie and the others breathed a sigh of relief. However, you are naïve to think about it. Li Dao and Guo Yan didn't make any moves at all, they just hid their movements.

Although Zhong Xuan is powerful, he can definitely be called a wise man, but he is somewhat unclear about this kind of military matter. If it is government affairs or other things, Zhong Xuan's ability is definitely top-notch, but it is really a headache when it comes to this kind of thing.

"How's it going, is there a Yellow Turban Army to get that movement?" Asking about the others, Zhong Xuan asked.

"My lord, there are no questions yet," someone replied immediately.

Hearing this answer, Zhong Xuan was also relieved to lose a little, at this time it was very close to Hangu Pass, at this time, as long as he could reach Hangu Pass first, at that time, even if Li Dao and their soldiers and horses were more, Zhong Miao was sure that he would be able to fight and retreat

Not only did Zhong Xuan find out about the situation, but everyone else was also frustrated, looking at the surrounding environment, those human rights in the Han family were happy. After all, breaking away from Li Dao and Guo Yan's pursuit means that they can become human beings again. Although every family has suffered heavy losses over the years, as long as they get to a safe place, their family can thrive again. After all, another reason why the so-called family is so powerful is that it is relatively confident

The so-called Maison has its own industry all over the country. Although these industries have suffered heavy losses because of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others. But there are still a lot of industries in other places. When these industries were trapped in Chang'an City, because he was worried that these people were all finished, these industries had actually become their heads.

But on the other hand, a contract is a contract, as long as they have not completely died, and there are still some axioms in this world, then these evil debts are not so easy to get rid of

But now it's more important

"What is that?" looking at the soldiers and horses that appeared on the horizon, Zhong Xuan asked with some hesitation.

No one could answer his question, and some people even thought it was soldiers and horses from the Kanto, but Zhong Xuan soon vetoed this answer, because the number of soldiers and horses coming was too small

It's just that

As he gradually saw the appearance of the team clearly, Zhong Xuan's expression became more and more crazy
