After a while, Li Ru came to the lobby of the Dong Mansion with a breath, probably too anxious, running too fast, his hair crown was off, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Wen You, do you understand the situation?" Without waiting for Li Ru to give a salute, Dong Zhuo asked in a deep voice.

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Prime minister, my subordinates are basically clear!" ”

"As Wen You expected, Liu Zhang'er really divided his troops into Chen Cang, what should we do now?"

"Liu Zhang's division is out of Chencang Road, the troops in the central and western parts of the country are empty, and there is no way to resist, the only way at the moment is to gather troops and break them one by one!"

"Isn't there any force to stop this force?" Dong Zhuo snorted dissatisfiedly and said.

"Yu Xiangye, before, in order to resist Liu Zhang's army attacking Chang'an, our army has transferred a large number of defenders from all over Guanzhong, and those who remain can only maintain local stability, and it is almost impossible for them to block the Yizhou army! At present, the only troops and horses that can be mobilized in the west are only 15,000 troops from the Wuwei Duan Xuan Division, but they are far away, and it will take 20 days to send the order to the south to support. Moreover, there are only 15,000 people in Duan Xuan's hands, and in the face of the 100,000 troops of the Yizhou Army, the disparity is too great, and he is afraid that he will not be able to solve any problems! Another point is that Duan Xuan's troops are stationed in Wuwei in order to prevent the remnants of the Ma clan, if they go south, they are afraid that the remnants of the Ma clan will attack Wuwei again. The Ma clan has been operating in Wuwei for decades, and its reputation is extremely strong, and its power is even more intertwined, if there is no deterrence from Duan Xuan, Wuwei is likely to gain and lose, and if Liu and Ma merge at that time, they are only afraid of ......"

"So what do you mean? Gather soldiers and horses to strengthen the martial arts enemy camp? Let Wei Yan turn the world upside down behind my Xiliang? ”

"Back to Xiangye, in the opinion of his subordinates, there is no other way! If our army divides its troops to rescue, it can only transfer troops from martial arts, and the enemy army has 100,000 people, how many must be transferred to stop it? These soldiers and horses have been transferred, can the front line of martial arts still maintain the current situation? If you easily transfer troops and disperse your forces, it is likely that the west will not be able to save you in the end, and the front line of martial arts will also be dominated by enemy counter-guests! ”

Dong Zhuo asked: "Even if our army captures Liu Zhang's camp, how many soldiers and horses will our army lose?" Will our army still have the ability to defeat Wei Yan at that time? ”

"Hui Xiangye, if our army gathers all its strength to attack the enemy camp of martial arts, it will suffer heavy losses and have no strength to fight again, so wouldn't the result be even more sinister if the limited forces are dispersed? According to the intelligence, Liu Zhang himself is in the martial arts camp, if our army captures the martial arts camp, even if we can't kill or capture him alive, and he escapes by chance, it will definitely make his army confused, and Wei Yan will definitely retreat without a fight! Of course, Wei Yan's soldiers and horses cannot be stopped by our army for the time being, but they can create a lot of trouble for him, for example, Xiangye can order all the counties and counties in Guanzhong to clear the fields, uproot all the crops in the fields, bury the wells, burn the villages, and move all the people into the city, so that they have no food, no drink, and no shelter. If the city is not protected, the counties must burn the treasury and not leave a grain of grain for Liu Zhang's army, if the city is broken, the Yizhou army has obtained supplies in the city, and the county order, county Cheng, and county lieutenant are all beheaded! As long as the grain is controlled, the 100,000 army will be wiped out without a single soldier! ”

Dong Zhuo is also a decisive person, and another advantage is that he is more able to listen to advice, Li Ru's words did not make him suddenly, but it also made him make the right choice for the current situation, although he knew the style of the Liang army in the west, and he didn't know how many people would be harmed, but what does this have to do with him? To him, the people are like cattle in a pen, and they are not raised for the purpose of slaughtering and eating meat?

"Then how to defeat Liu Zhangjun?"

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Back to Xiangye, in Confucianism's opinion, it is necessary to be a personal expedition of Xiangye!" At present, Liu Zhang's two-way march, the threat is great, under this situation, our army is unstable, non-virtuous and respected people are not able to turn the tide and revive morale, in my Xiliang army, only the identity of the Xiangye is honorable, everyone admires, if the Xiangye comes to the front line, the morale will be greatly boosted, and the decadence will be swept away, and it is not a problem to defeat Liu Zhang's army! ”

"Okay, according to Wen You's words, the Japanese Prime Minister will personally lead the troops to Wugong, and Wen You will go with me to the army and the military aircraft!"

"Confucianism obeys the will of the Prime Minister!"

"Okay, there is Wen You, this is like an army of more than 100,000, why should Liu Zhang's children be afraid? Wen You, how many soldiers and horses can our army transfer at the moment? ”

Li Ru carefully recalled the situation near Chang'an, and after a long time, said: "Back to Xiangye, since Liu Zhang's attack, our army has called 100,000 strong men to join the army, these strong men have undergone preliminary training, and have a certain combat effectiveness, in the opinion of Confucianism, 50,000 of them can be transferred to 30,000 defenders from all over the country, and these 30,000 elites and another 50,000 recruits will support martial arts with a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

"Okay, everything is according to Wenyou's intentions, I don't believe it, my 200,000 army can't defeat a mere 60,000?"

"It's just that, Xiangye, it takes a lot of time to change the guard of the troops......"

"How much time?"

"About three days!"

"Then send troops in three days, tell Li Dao, keep my eyes wide and guard the camp, if he is taken advantage of by the enemy, he will be skinned alive!"

"Yes, Xiangye!"

In the vicinity of Chang'an, a tense change of defense immediately began, and many people who had just taken on weapons replaced the elite veterans in charge of the defense of various places, and even the Hangu Guan Niu Fu Department was also transferred 7,000 elite soldiers, and Niu Fu only got 15,000 recruits. But Niu Fu didn't care about this, why? Because of his noble status, he has never taken Lu Bu, a slave with three surnames, in his eyes, and he arrogantly believes that as long as he is there, Lu Bu will not even have the courage to commit Hangu Pass, how can there be a problem in Hangu Pass?

When Chang'an was busy and busy, Li Dao was not idle, and after the attack failed, he really changed his mind and led 40,000 horse infantry troops to attack Li Yan.

Li Yan had insufficient troops and could not resist head-on, so he ordered the whole army to return to the camp and refuse. After a day of fierce fighting, he finally held the camp at a huge cost.

Li Wei paid more than 4,000 casualties, and seeing that the camp was about to be broken, he naturally did not want to withdraw his troops easily, so he ordered to camp on the spot and fight again the next day, and vowed not to give up until he captured the enemy camp.

Li Yan knew that if he continued to defend it, the battalion would be lost sooner or later, so it was better to preserve his strength and join Liu Zhang to fight again another day. So he sent someone to contact Liu Zhang at night and asked Liu Zhang to send troops to support, and at the same time sent someone to cross Weishui, inform Gong Du of the situation, and ask him to strengthen the defense of Weishui and not be taken advantage of by the enemy.

After waiting for more than an hour after the envoy was sent, Li Yan led his troops to secretly avoid Li Dao's blockade from the bank of the Weishui River, and then turned north, and under the response of the cavalry sent by Liu Zhang, he led the remnants of 3,000 people to the martial arts camp (Li Dao did not block the Weishui River because he needed a victory to alleviate Dong Zhuo's anger, and the only victory he could show at the moment was to capture the enemy camp in Weishui, since how to capture it was not very important, he left Li Yan a way out, and also hoped that Li Yan would know the current affairs and flee after knowing that he was defeated, Although the victory is discounted, what does it matter? The number of enemy kills is just a matter of pen and ink, as long as the enemy camp is actually captured, it is a great achievement! What's more, he thinks that with the combat strength of the Yizhou army, even if he captures the enemy camp, he is afraid that he will pay about 20,000 casualties, if Dong Zhuo learns that he has paid such heavy casualties in order to capture the small Weishui enemy camp, he can only get the word "incompetent" when he goes to Dong Zhuo, and he is afraid that he will not be able to escape the involvement! In this case, of course, he hoped that Li Yan would take the initiative to retreat, so that he could give Dong Zhuo a gorgeous battle report. Of course, if Li Yan swears not to retreat, he can't retreat, he must do his best to take it regardless of casualties, fortunately, Li Yan didn't break the net with him, and everyone was happy in the end!
