Li Ru said that Li Dao wanted to recommend Yan Xing to be promoted to the rank of general and Hedong Taishou, which was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only to tie Yan Xing firmly to his chariot on his side, so that he could no longer watch from the wall, but also to make Yan Xing, the Chang'an court, and the Hedong county government completely tear their faces, and there was no possibility of joining forces from then on.

Hedong Taishou, this position, it is impossible for the Chang'an Imperial Court to grant Yan Xing, and Wang Yi cannot give it up, but for Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, it is a bargaining chip that can be used to stir up the situation, what Li Ru is saying in public at the moment is such a key node.

And the meaning he wants to express is also very clear.

That is, the reason why Li Dao and others did not go to the imperial court and recommended Yan Xing as a general and Hedong Taishou, making Yan Xing's side tear up their faces with the Chang'an Imperial Court and Hedong County Government, just because what Li Dao and others wanted was a strong alliance with Yan Xing's side with mutual sincerity, rather than a group of mutual suspicion for warmth.

Just like sending troops to escort Zhang Rui back to Yan Xing's side, instead of detaining him as a hostage, it is not that Li Dao and others dare not do it, but they don't want to do it, they don't want to do it.

Of course, the goodwill and sincerity expressed by Li Dao and others are limited to this, if Yan Xing's attitude is still stubborn and intends to continue to watch from the sidelines, then Li Dao and others don't mind, and use their yang plot to force Yan Xing's side to stand in line and meet with the swords and soldiers of the Chang'an Imperial Court and the Hedong County Government.

The effect may not be as good as it could be, but the end result is the same.

Xi Zhicai felt Li Ru's fearless gaze, his face was not to be outdone, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Li Ru's strategy is indeed outstanding, and his vision and means are also vicious, which can be called a leader for a while.

With the help of this person, it is no wonder that Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang alone, exert his power and strategy, and successively take the political fruits of cannibalism between his relatives and eunuchs into his arms.

It is no wonder that in less than half a month, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji, the lost dogs, were able to take advantage of the opportunity of people's hearts fluctuating and public opinion to completely reverse the situation, coerce the soldiers, and sweep through Guanzhong, showing an aggressive posture of pointing at Chang'an.

Ganling, who was originally standing and watching, saw Li Ru's aggressive appearance, he couldn't stand it anymore, and came out to speak.

"I heard that the soldiers and horses of Li, Guo and other captains marched into Chang'an, although they were invincible all the way, but the Chang'an court also sent a large army to Xinfeng, a big war is inevitable, Li and Guo are eager to form an alliance with our army at this time, is it the end of the crossbow, and wants our army to attack Zuo Fengyi, for his own generation of soldiers and horses, and transfer the soldiers of the Chang'an court?"

Gan Ling chose to be in military affairs, pointing out that Li Dao, Guo Yan and others were blocked in Xinfeng, so they wanted to use the soldiers and horses of Yan Xing's side to disperse the troops of the Chang'an court for them.

Unexpectedly, Li Ru heard Gan Ling's words, but as if he had heard a big joke, he laughed.

Without fear, he met Gan Ling's glaring gaze, laughed and said:

"Gan Sima is deeply used by Niu Zhonglang, and he has a strong army, and he does not dare to go west to meet the enemy, but he turns to the east of the river. Soldiers, treacherous also, the famous generals of the ancients, to cut down the war and attack the city as the upper soldier, to attack the city as the next policy, Li, Guo and other captains to connect the heroes, to discuss not to be subordinate, this is the way of the heavens and people, and Wang Yun, Lu Bu treacherous people, kill the benefactor, like the same conspiracy, everyone gets and is punished, I Liangzhou soldiers, branches out of the same origin, lips and teeth depend on each other, how can there be different intentions. ”

"In the current situation, everyone knows that cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. Sima Fang's words can be described as disloyal, unrighteous, brave and unwise, if it is really a seven-foot hiatus, there is no reason to stand in the hall again, you can hide your face and confess and retreat! ”

"Evil slaves dare to insult me!"

Ganling was counted down by the sharp-tongued Li Ru in public, even though his mind today is no longer comparable to the time when he was in Jincheng in the past, but he was still provoked to anger, and he jumped like thunder, and with a "stab" sound, Ganling had already pulled out his sword.

The drama on the side caught a glimpse of Gan Ling's anger, and hurriedly reached out to pull Gan Ling's armor, and Zhou Liang saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help, so that he could pull Gan Ling, who was about to run away, and persuaded him to give him a step down, lest he really can't get off the stage, and make a reckless act of stabbing Li Ru with a sword in public.

Li Ru stood on the hall with his head up, ignoring the cold glow of the long sword in Gan Ling's hand, he sneered and looked at Gan Ling, Xi Zhicai and others, and his attitude became more and more arrogant.

The stronger his attitude towards Yan Xing's side, the more obvious the signal released to the outside world, that is, Yan Xing's side, at this time, the alliance with Li Xing's army is just icing on the cake, it is by no means a charcoal in the snow, and if Yan Xing hesitates again, the consequences of angering Li Xing, Guo Yan and others will definitely not be able to bear it afterwards.

"Since Gan Sima talked about the fierce battle between the two armies of Xinfeng, then Confucianism is not afraid to tell the captain that the soldiers and horses of Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and others were originally my Liangzhou athletes, and now the rumors of killing Liangzhou are widely spread in Guanzhong, but the Chang'an Imperial Court has an unclear decree, which makes everyone in Liangzhou General School in danger, and the soldiers have no heart to fight, and the captain is also a person who knows the soldiers.

"The two armies are aligned, and Captain Li knows the difficulties of the captain, and there is no need for the captain to send soldiers and horses to help, as long as the captain divides the soldiers and horses to contain Song Yi's soldiers and horses. And the land of the city of Haoyang can not afford to support the army of the captain, and it is imperative to divide the troops to eat, which is a mutually beneficial move, so why should the captain hesitate and mistake himself in the situation. ”

Li Ru went from angering Gan Ling to turning to Yan Xing, and the information revealed in his mouth was from moving with affection, tempting with profit, and then to forcing with momentum, which can be described as pressing step by step.

But he just wants to be aggressive, so that Yan Xing, who has an unclear attitude, has to take care of the huge and powerful Liangzhou army in his words when he makes a choice.

Yan Xing, who was pretending to be pensive just now, listened to Li Ru's sharp and sharp words, and looked at Gan Ling, who was angered by Li Ru, although he was also dissatisfied with Li Ru's aggressive attitude, he still suppressed the anger in his heart.

"I understand what Li Gong meant. I also accepted Captain Li's sincerity. Well, I'll give you a clear answer tomorrow, how about it? ”

Yan Xing, who was originally silent and silent, finally spoke, the corners of Li Ru's mouth hooked, and then looked at Gan Ling, who was pulled by Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang, he also knew in his heart that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, today's strength of your own side has been vividly and exquisitely, and it should be time to do it in moderation, so as not to have the opposite effect.

So, Li Ru also bowed to Yan Xing and said goodbye.

"In this way, Confucianism is waiting for the good news of the captain."

Yan Xing bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhou Liang to take Li Ru down. Zhou Liang received the order, let go of Ganling, and came to Li Ru's side.

"Li Gong, please!"

Looking at Zhou Liang's smile, Li Ru didn't know why, but his always strong and calm appearance faintly showed signs of anger.

The treacherous man in front of him also forgot who rescued him from the knife back then, who cultivated him carefully and entrusted him with important tasks, and in a blink of an eye, he threw himself into Yan Xing's camp and abandoned his former master.

Li Ru was annoyed that Yan Xing took advantage of the situation to stand on his own feet and get rid of his control, but what he hated even more was snobbies like Zhou Liang who betrayed him in secret.

After stepping out of the lobby, Li Ru looked at Zhou Liang who was leading the way in front of him, and said with a sneer:

"Yuan Shan is a talented person, and now he has been promoted to the history of dealing with things, but he also makes the best use of things, and he is better than the past in Sanfu for Kou Liu."

Zhou Liang heard Li Ru's words in front, he was stunned for a moment, his steps slowed down, he turned around and saluted Li Ru, and still smiled respectfully:

"The grace of Li Gong's life is remembered in his conscience, so in the past, he was sent by the public office, although he was involved in hardships and dangers, he did not dare to violate it. But if it is like a slump today, the court is dim, the virtuous and warrior, the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the good return to the school captain, it is also a move to respond to the people. ”

"Maybe Li Gong regards me as a villain, but Kunpeng has the ambition of Tunan, the clouds, the blue sky, the 90,000 miles of those who sway up, and the eagle also has ambitions, leaping up, soaring between the basils, and this also flies."

"This is the difference between size and size, a good villain, but it is not worthy of Li Gong's ridicule!"

Li Ru listened to Zhou Liang's self-defense, snorted coldly, and knew that he was ridiculing Zhou Liang because he was boring, and it was impossible to have any effect, so he flicked his sleeves at the moment, went straight past Zhou Liang, and strode away.

Zhou Liang, who was left behind, stared at Li Ru's back for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward and followed closely.

in the lobby

Gan Ling waited until Li Ru left, and the anger on his face subsided a little, but he was still a little puzzled, looked at Yan Xing and asked:

"This Li Ru is also too rude, relying on the momentum of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, he openly treats me as nothing, I am about to use anger to disturb his rhetoric, lest he continue to make noise in this hall, why did the captain directly agree to him?"

Xi Zhicai also loosened Ganling's armor at this time, and said with a solemn face:

"Li Ru, although his words are sharp and compelling, but he is indeed prepared, Li Dao and others can indeed use Yang Mou to deepen the gap between us and the Chang'an Imperial Court and the Hedong County Government, and force us to fight together with this. And now Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are fighting for Xinfeng, Hu Zhen and Xu Rong are defeated, and the situation of the Chang'an court is in danger. ”

"Hu Zhen is just a good thing, Xu Rong is known as a soldier, and his ability to use soldiers is also a leader among the generals in Liangzhou, and the Chang'an Imperial Court takes it as a general to defend Xinfeng, and it is expected that Li, Guo and others are powerful, and they can't attack them in a hurry, so we will conclude an alliance with their generation at this time, and send troops to Zuo Fengyi, wouldn't it add benefits to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in vain?"

Gan Ling shook his head when he heard this, in terms of military affairs, he still felt that Xu Rong, who knew the soldiers and was good at fighting, guarded Xinfeng, even if he could not defeat Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, but it was not a problem for the whole division to protect the people and defend Chang'an. Li and Guo Dajun will never be able to run rampant and invincible as Li Ru said, and treat Chang'an as a thing in their pockets, which can be obtained at their fingertips.

Yan Xing listened to the differences between Xi Zhicai and Li Dao, he threw the alliance book in his hand on the desk, got up and walked to the hall, looked outside the courtyard and said:

"Since ancient times, the rise and fall of the replacement, although the cloud of the destiny, is really the hearts of the people, now the three auxiliary people are panicking, Li, Guo and others take the opportunity to rejuvenate the division, along the way Liangzhou people gathered to respond, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others are precarious in the court, there is no temple contingency, even if Xu Rong in front of him can fight, it is difficult to escape the defeat of the rebels, we will be attached to the situation, although the covenant is a trivial matter, but it is indeed necessary to make a decision early and seize the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing suddenly turned around, looked at Gan Ling and Xi Zhicai, and said solemnly:

"Therefore, I intend that after the first battle of Xinfeng, when Sanfu was in turmoil, Shusheng was the main general, Zhicai was the army, and the generals and the army of Ma, Zhai, and Meng Zhu were led to Linjin again, and the rest of Baibo was the forerunner, and Chongquan, Liansco, Wannian and other places were collected, and the troops surrounded Gaoling, gathered the grain of Zuo Feng Yi to feed the army, and collected the soldiers of Qin Hu in Sanfu, Shangjun and other places for use, and recruited the fleeing people to enrich the northeast border of Hedong."

Yan Xing wanted to take advantage of Li, Guo and others to disturb Sanfu when they expanded the strength of their side, but Gaoling was Zuo Fengyi's place of governance, and Zuo Fengyi and Song Yi were in Gaoling, if they attacked the city directly, they were afraid that Song Yi would not be able to escape defeat and die, although Yan Xing had decided to use troops with Zuo Fengyi, but he did not want to act as a vanguard for Li, Guo and others, and was pointed out by the thousands of people in the world, so he made it clear to Ganling that he would besiege Gaoling but not attack.

After Ganling handed over the soldiers and horses in his hands, Yan Xing also divided the soldiers and horses of Ganling into several parts, and handed them over to the generals such as Ma, Zhai, and Meng.

As for Xi Zhicai, since he took office, he has strategized and made many suggestions, every time Yan Xing leaves the army and divides the army, he wants to leave Xi Zhicai to take charge of the military aircraft and coordinate the generals.

Gan Ling and Xi Zhicai immediately respectfully accepted the order.

"After we march to Zuo Fengyi, if Li, Guo and others besiege Chang'an and send envoys to summon each other, I don't know if we want to send troops?"

After Gan Ling was ordered, for the sake of prudence, he also asked Yan Xing about the follow-up movements of the army.

After all, if, as Yan Xing, Xi Zhicai and others said, it is not difficult for Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to defeat Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, then it is not difficult to capture Chang'an City.

At this time, Ganling, who was leading the troops outside, would face a choice, whether to lead the troops to meet with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in Chang'an, and go to this troubled water, after all, when the victory has been decided, marching into Chang'an is a matter of a hundred times more profitable.

But Gan Ling also knew that Yan Xing was afraid of reputation and public opinion, and marched into Chang'an, in addition to grabbing the fruits of victory, he also had the burden of public opinion, and it depended on how the parties decided.

Gan Ling thought that this matter was very important, rather than that when the matter came to an end, the generals discussed to no avail, and then sent a fast horse to return to Haoyang to ask Yan Xing, it was better to go straight to this time, first ask Yan Xing's intentions, so as not to delay the opportunity in vain.

Sure enough, after listening to Gan Ling's inquiry, Yan Xing was silent and silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

"If there is something to do, then it will hunt Chang'an, which is not a bad thing. It's just that when you arrive in Chang'an, how to deal with people and things, how to handle it, but you have to discuss with the drama and join the army, this is a matter of long-term concern. ”

"Ling, I respectfully accept the order!"

After listening to Yan Xing's orders, Gan Ling couldn't help but feel excited in his chest when he thought about the upcoming war, and immediately agreed to the promise and generously accepted the order.
