The general named Wu Xi said: "General, can our army bypass Baozhong and approach Nanzheng, Nanzheng belongs to the rear, and the troops must be empty, if our army suddenly comes to the city, it is very likely to capture it, as long as our army occupies Nanzheng ......"

Before Wu Xi's words were finished, he was scolded by Li Dao: "Confused, do you think that our army will pass under the noses of the defenders in Baozhong, and the enemy will not find out?" Even if our army is not discovered, can you guarantee that the defenders of Nanzheng will be unprepared and give our army a chance to take advantage of? There are too many variables in your opinion, as long as I am defeated under the city of Nanzheng, I am impatient, and the enemy blocks the Baochuan crossing, and our army is trapped in Hanzhong, and there is no food and grass, how can I fight? Li Wei didn't know that at this time, the Nanzheng Yang brothers were busy collecting money, if he really took advantage of the night to sneak attack with a small number of elite troops, it was not impossible to quickly capture Nanzheng, I have to say that he missed a good opportunity.

Wu Xi stopped talking.

Guo Yan said: "Then what should our army do next?" ”

Li Wei slapped his thigh and said, "No matter what, we must attack, even if it is to test the enemy's reality!" ”

Everyone nodded yes.

Li Dao looked at the generals and said, "So, who was the vanguard and went to fight with the Yizhou army?" ”

The generals look at me, I look at you, they don't speak, it is obvious that this is an errand that is close to death, the enemy occupies a favorable position, and the local forces have the upper hand, at this time, whoever comes out is unlucky, and no one wants to complete a job with a probability of failure of 99.99%.

Li Wei had expected that these people would not be willing to do this "touchstone" for a while, looked at everyone, and had a plan in his heart, and said: "General Wu is heroic, so I asked General Wu to lead his troops to be the vanguard of our army, and let those old soldiers in Yizhou learn the demeanor of my Xiliang soldiers!" ”

Wu Xi listened to Li Wei's words, his heart was cold, and he looked at Guo Yan. This Wu Xi has always been close to Guo Yan, Li Wei has long been dissatisfied, don't look at Li Wei's affectionate "old Guo" call, in fact, he has always been very dissatisfied with his deputy, because Guo Yan's ability is higher than him (of course Li Wei will not admit this), often robbing the scenery that should belong to him, and Guo Yan also has a large number of henchmen in the army, such as this Wu Xi, which makes him feel threatened, so he wants to take this opportunity to eliminate dissent.

Guo Wei is not stupid, of course he also understands Li Dao's thoughts, but Li Dao, as the chief general, the resolution made at the military meeting is a military order, even if he is a deputy general, he does not dare to openly oppose it, otherwise Li Dao complained to Dong Zhuo that the two did not obey the general's order, I am afraid that he and Wu Xi will be in danger, so he can only ignore Wu Xi's gaze for help.

Wu Xi saw that the backer did not speak, and knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, if he dared to oppose Li Dao, he could be beheaded at any time by disobeying the general's order, although the survival of the battle was slim, but there was always a chance to live, but if he did not fight, he had no life, so he had to obey the general's order.

Li Wei was in a very good mood, encouraged Wu Xi (in fact, he was cursing him in his heart, he died early and was born early), announced the end of the meeting, except for Wu Xi's immediate departure, the rest of the soldiers and horses chose a place to set up camp.

After Wu Xi left, he did not immediately organize his army to fight, but went to see Guo Yan.

Guo Yan naturally understood his intention, and said loudly: "General Wu, your troops are only 2,000 people, and your strength is weak, I'm afraid you are not the enemy's opponent, so for the sake of the great cause of the Taishi, I will temporarily transfer another 1,000 people to your command to strengthen your strength!" ”

Wu Xi thanked him seriously.

Only then did Guo Yan lower his voice and said: "Once you lose the enemy, you can order a retreat, remember, soldiers and horses can be lost, but you must come back." Don't worry, even if you are defeated, I will protect your life! ”

Wu learned the "Shang Fang Sword", and immediately rejoiced, and the original resentment against Guo Yan for not saving his life when he saw death was gone, and he bowed: "Thank you general, thank you general!" The general is so sympathetic to his subordinates, and his subordinates are willing to smear the general's liver and brain! ”

Guo Yan helped Wu Xi up and said, "I hope you can understand, the decision made by General Li at the meeting is a military order, and I can't easily disobey it, but don't worry, I won't let my people die!" ”

Wu Xi was grateful, and bowed again: "The general's kindness is like rebirth, and he is willing to be the general's minions in the next life and this life, and he will die later!" ”

Guo Yan said: "Okay, go ahead, otherwise General Li may make you a crime of delaying the military plane!" ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Guo Yan sent Wu Xi away and returned to the barracks that Bebe had erected, with no more warm smile on his face, and a hideous roar on his face: "Li Dao, what are you planning, don't think I don't know, jealousy has reached such a point, suppressing me everywhere, do you think I will give in, don't you be caught by me in the sore spot, otherwise I will give you a copy of the Taishi, I swear that one day, I will personally repay you for all these years of 'cultivation'!" ”

However, it was said that Wu Xi led 3,000 soldiers and horses through a march of more than two hours, and seeing that the exit was in sight, Wu Xi ordered the whole army to rest and eat some dry food before continuing to advance.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, after hearing the news of the rest, these people immediately found a flat place, took out the dry food and water they carried with them, and stuffed them into their mouths!

They didn't know that on the mountain roads on both sides of the place where they were, thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at them, and countless arrows had already been set on the bowstrings, waiting for an order to be given, and immediately the arrows flew like rain......

Huang Zhong said secretly: "Mr. Fengxiao is really clever, I expected that the enemy would come, and they really came......

It turned out that when Li Dao summoned the generals to discuss the matter, Liu Zhang was also convening the generals and ministers to discuss the military situation. Lou Gui thought that after the enemy knew that our army occupied Hanzhong and blocked its way of advance, the enemy would not be able to deploy his forces due to the limitations of the terrain, so he would certainly not attack rashly. His opinion was recognized by Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Feng Ji and others, and they all put themselves in their shoes and thought that if they got the news that Hanzhong was captured by the enemy, they would not easily send troops. However, Guo Jia analyzed from outside the battlefield that Li Dao and Guo Yan really didn't want to fight, but with Dong Zhuo's temperament, if they retreated without a fight, they would be blamed by him, and he thought that although Li and Guo knew that they couldn't do anything, they also had to fight, so that they had the opportunity to defend themselves in front of Dong Zhuo. Guo Jia's views were endorsed by Xun's uncle and nephew, Xu Huang and others. Liu Zhang also thinks that Li and Guo will fight, besides, even if the ambush fails, he has no losses, he has to practice in the wild, but once he succeeds, the harvest must be not small, after all, Li Dao and Guo Yan have 30,000 elites under their command, if only one or two hundred people are eliminated by him, they are embarrassed to retreat, or ask for help! Therefore, if Li Dao and Guo Yan send troops to come, although they will not do their main force, the number of people will be more than 1,000 (Liu Zhang and others don't know that it is not a thousand, but a full 3,000, which is also an excuse for Li Dao to arrange for himself, after all, the losses of the department are 'heavy', and they are unable to fight again, so they have to retreat, or stick to asking for help), this is a mouthful of fat, and it is all sent to the mouth, don't eat it for nothing!

So there were Huang Zhong, Wei Ting, Guan Yu, and Xu Huang on both sides of the mountain road, Zhang Fei and Zhang Liao cut off the tail and blocked the head, and waited for the net!
