74. Felling
Li Wei waited on the side for a long time, seeing that the emotions of everyone in the tent had been mobilized, and the atmosphere was at the right time, he simply got up and said loudly:
"Heaven doesn't want to kill my Liangzhou athlete, so I sent Master Li here to inform me of the inside story!"
Li Wei, who was standing in the tent, was full of light in his eyes, as if a flame was burning.
"Now that surrender is death, abandoning the crowd and fleeing is death, it is better to kill back in Guanzhong and fight for a way to live. In his life, he had never heard of a person who was holding a soldier and a horse and was waiting to be killed, and Chen Shi in the past also said, "And the strong man is not dead, and he is famous when he dies, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" ’”
All of you here are Liangzhou athletes from the Rongma Field, and they are on the battlefield with blades, what are they doing, isn't it just for fame and wealth?
Now Li Wei looks at this Chen Shi's bold words in his mouth, "If a strong man does not die, he will become famous when he dies, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" The madness of glimpsing a secluded road of survival on a desperate road sprouted in the hearts of everyone present, and the ambition that had not cooled was repeatedly provoked, and it reached the point of exploding catharsis.
For a while, the people in the tent drew their swords one after another, their expressions were excited, they were angry, and shouted loudly, "Kill back to Chang'an, seize fame and wealth".
And these are exactly what Li Dao, Li Ru, Jia Xu and others want to see today, the crowd is surging, and the people in the tent do not need too many laws and regulations, they have begun to spontaneously and consciously plan the route and dispatch people for the westward march to Chang'an······
The march was quickly arranged, and the officers and men who participated in the military council then withdrew from their respective accounts.
In the end, only Li, Guo, and Zhang Sanwei and Li Ru and Jia Xu were left in the tent.
"Mr. Li, please tell me the truth, is this westward expansion really as you just said?"
Although several people were taking turns to boost their morale just now, when there were only a few of them left in the tent, Li Dao, who had calmed down, looked at Li Ru and couldn't help but ask.
Li Ru was calm and relaxed, and the pain of fleeing along the way made him have a kind of madness to play against the sky and give it a go.
"If Captain Li is willing to listen to the plan of his subordinates, this battle should be won!"
"I'm waiting for these soldiers and horses, even if the generals stationed in Guanzhong fight on their own, they still don't have a big chance of winning against Lu Bu and others' merger soldiers!"
Zhang Ji, who has a rough appearance, is extremely thoughtful at the moment.
Li Ru glanced at Zhang Ji, who had a solemn face, and smiled confidently.
"Who said I was the only one waiting for these soldiers?"
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Duan Xuan of Huayin, Yan Yan of Hedong, and the soldiers and horses of Hu Zhen, Yang Ding, Xu Rong and others can all be our helpers."
After Li, Guo, and Zhang glanced at each other, they did not speak.
These people were all former generals of the Xiliang Army, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Chang'an Imperial Court is like a mountain pressing on everyone's head, how can they be willing to do this kind of counterattack on Chang'an with themselves regardless of their reputation.
"The way to cut friendship is nothing more than vertical and horizontal. In today's Chang'an court, Wang Yun is in power, insisting on going his own way, eliminating dissidents, and all the generals have relatives in their hearts and are walking on thin ice. Huayin's Duan Xuan, believing that with Wenhe's argumentative talent, he only needs to shake his tongue lightly, and he will definitely be able to make his troops stand still, get out of the way, and let us lead the troops to fight back against Chang'an, as for Yan Yan in Hedong, Confucianism is also confident that he will help us and contain Zuo Fengyi's forces to help us capture Chang'an! ”
During the period of Emperor Wu, after the Hangu Pass moved eastward, Hongnong County became an important place to defend Guanzhong and resist the Guandong, and the Shaanxi County, Huayin and other places under its jurisdiction were the places where the soldiers of the East and West fought for Guanzhong, and the land of Hedong was only separated by a river from Sanfu.
If Jia Xu can convince Duan Xuan and Li Ru can convince Yan Yan, then the situation of the Liangzhou soldiers in Guanzhong will indeed be half opened at once!
Li Dao and the others looked at Jia Xu one after another, wanting to hear his opinion.
Although Jia Xu sat quietly and listened, he could also feel the eagerness in the eyes of Li Dao and others, he was pushed straight to the front by Li Ru, at this fateful moment, in the face of Li Dao and others, he was not easy to shirk, and immediately got up and said:
"I am willing to recommend myself, go to Huayin City, and persuade Duan Zhongming to get out of the way and not be an enemy of our army!"
"With the arrival of the captain, this matter is harmonious!"
Li Wei received Jia Xu's affirmative reply, and he was overjoyed, he hurriedly looked at Li Ru again, and continued to ask:
"Then Yan Yan from Hedong, how can Mr. convince him to help us?"
Duan Xuan is in the critical place of Huayin, if he wants to protect himself, it is the best way to stand still and watch from the wall, and with Jia Xu going to Xiaoyi to take advantage, Li Wei believes that it is not a problem to let him get out of the way and let his troops pass.
But to let Yan Xing, who was stationed in Hedong, take advantage of his own fire and contain Zuo Fengyi's troops, in Li Wei's view, this is a little difficult, after all, no matter from which point of view, the possibility of Yan Xing sitting and watching success or failure and waiting for an opportunity is greater than directly sending troops to Sanfu.
Li Ru listened to Li Wei's inquiry, he smiled, did not answer directly, but turned to Jia Xu.
"I don't know Wenhe, how to convince Duan Zhongming?"
Jia Xu had a calm attitude and said leisurely:
"I don't know if I'm talented, what I think of now is to force it and know it!"
"What Confucianism can make Yan Yan send troops is to move her with affection and lure her to profit!"
"What's the feeling, Li, Mr. Li, can you explain it more clearly!"
Seeing Li Ru's unfathomable appearance, he was in a hurry to listen to it, and Guo Yan, who couldn't hold it back, couldn't help but open his throat and asked.
"Yan Yan was a defeated general of the rebels in the past, and it was Confucianism who recommended him to General Xu Zhonglang, which led to his later achievements in Hedong and the garrison, and I escorted him all the way to Chang'an's family, and now he can accompany the envoy to Hedong and invite him to send troops to help!"
"As for the benefit of the invitation, it is naturally a county in Hedong, Yan Yan pacified Baibo and garrisoned the northeast border of Hedong, while Hedong Taishou Wangyi sat in the south and resisted the enemy in the north, Yan Yan definitely wanted to annex the rich land in the south at this time, but in the name of prestige, he did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and start the war lightly. And the Chang'an Imperial Court didn't even have an edict of pardon, so how could it be willing to see him a Dong rebel against the Yu Party and annex Hedong? ”
"I see, Mr. has the grace of Shuren, and what the Chang'an Imperial Court can't give him is what we can promise him, and we can just like that, we can promise him a place in Hedong."
Zhang Ji listened to Li Ru's words, and suddenly realized, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"That's cheaper for these juniors."
At this time, Guo Yan also understood Li Ru's method of inviting Yan Xing to send troops, and he snorted coldly, feeling a little disdainful in his heart.
Li Wei is not as proud as Guo Yan, at present, Xiliang's army is weak, and being able to attract one more force is also very beneficial to their success, as for the land east of the river, it was not theirs in the first place, so what does it matter if they promise to go out out of thin air.
"Don't talk about Hedong, as long as he is willing to send troops to help us and others to involve Zuo Fengyi's soldiers and horses, then what about giving him the land of the Three Rivers!"
Speaking of this, Li Dao said to Li Ru and Jia Xu:
"This matter will depend a lot on Mr. Li and Jia Duwei, when the envoy is dispatched, the big and small matters will be decided by the two monarchs, but if there is a need, I will make it clear that we will do our best to provide it."
Li Ru and Jia Xu listened to Li Wei's words, cautiously agreed, and then bowed and retired, and went out of the account one after another.
After the two went out of the tent, they did not leave immediately, but stood side by side in the open space outside the tent, looking at the clear sky, and quietly listening to the sound of the battle in the camp.
"Wen He has something on his mind?"
Li Ru only looked at the clear clouds for a while, then turned his gaze and looked at the thoughtful Jia Xu.
"I'm wondering, how did the remarks of the Chang'an Imperial Court that it wanted to kill all the people of Liangzhou spread?"
Jia Xu also turned to Li Ru and said leisurely.
"Isn't it common for rumors to spread when government decrees are unclear."
"A word prospers the country, and a word loses the country!"
"But isn't this what schemers like me want?"
Li Ru flicked his sleeves and spoke proudly. Jia Xu's brows moved, and when he saw Li Ru again, he was also keenly aware that between Li Ru's words and deeds, there was indeed another fearless and fearless temperament, and he was already desperately and fearlessly wanting to bet with himself and the world.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, is it still like a slurrel? Void but unyielding, moving and out. It is better to keep the middle than to talk too much. ”
Jia Xu looked at the sky and sighed. He was caught in the game and had to give it a go, but Li Ru was fearless in his heart and was determined to enter the game and fight the world again.
"Wenhe wants to be hidden? Indeed, when I escaped from Chang'an, I also thought about hiding my name and escaping into the mountains and forests, but then I thought about it, the great hidden in the court, the big husband is alive, and he has already received the book. ”
As he spoke, Li Ru stood proudly after laughing at Jia Xu's state of mind.
"Now that the Han family is in decline, these thousands of miles of great rivers and mountains still need us to wait for people who have entered the WTO to boldly look at it!"
···
Zuo Feng Yiyang
At this moment, although Yan Xing was wearing armor, his face did not have the solemn face when he put on the armor and got on the horse, but looked at the south, with a faint joy between his eyebrows.
Xi Zhicai and Zhou Liang were stationed on the side of Yan Xing, and Zhai Hao, Ma Lin, Meng Tu, and Dian Wei were also held by A, following behind him, and they all stood in Manan and waited silently.
On both sides of the official road are armor soldiers with spears and halberds, all of them with tiger heads and swallow jaws, with majestic physiques, lined up in formation, standing still.
Such a formation, but not to show off his might, but Ganling was about to arrive in Heyang, and Yan Xing, who arrived in Haoyang first, was pleased to hear that he led the troops out of the city for ten miles, and personally went to the official road to meet the soldiers and horses of Ganling.
After Ganling's soldiers and horses passed through Duan Xuan's station, they entered the land of Sanfu unimpeded, he turned to Zuo Fengyi, defeated Zuo Fengyi's soldiers and horses along the way, captured the big city of Linjin, obtained a large number of military resources, and the military prestige was restored, so he moved his division to the north and came to Heyang and Yan Xing to join the division.
Yan Xing and the others were waiting, and there were already a few fast horses returning in front, which turned out to be the scout cavalry of the army sent earlier to inspect and contact the soldiers and horses of Ganling.
The scout slowed down his horse, came to Yan Xing's front, and after saluting on his horse, he immediately reported to Yan Xing that Ganling's soldiers and horses had arrived.
After the scout reported it, it didn't take long for Yan Xing and the others, who were looking south, to see the vanguard of the Ganling soldiers and horses.
The official road in the south extends all the way along the mountain to the steep slope of the west fold, and Yan Xing and the others in the wilderness plain have a view of the south that happens to be blocked by the steep slope and the trees on the hillside.
Therefore, at this time, the vanguard of the Ganling soldiers and horses also emerged from the turn of the steep slope:
The scorching sun shone on the earth, and in the sound of horses' hooves, frightened birds flew up in panic from the dense forest where they lived, and flew through the mountains and forests illuminated by the scorching sun and flew to the vast and boundless sky.
When the noisy birdsong died down, the forest fell silent again. Only in the distant mountains and mountains echoed the sound of horses' hooves in the vanguard of the army.
Groups of elite cavalry galloped on the uninhabited official road, kicking up billowing smoke and dust, and in the sound of horses' hooves, mixed with the sonorous clash of knights' swords.
The galloping war horse continued to spew out white mist from its nose, and behind the white mist there were faces that were dusty but resolute.
After the cavalry, there was also a phalanx of infantry in formations.
The sound of heavy footsteps and the "whoosh" of the same beat of armor sounded in the ears of the marching soldiers like thunder, and the marching phalanx of infantry, after turning the hillside, surged like a black steel frenzy across the endless field with its own peculiar speed.
Under the sunlight, the cold light on the spears of the infantry soldiers flickered faintly, and the scabbard of the ring-headed sword seemed to be inlaid with Taoist gold edges, which invisibly increased the prestige of this marching team.
Cavalry galloping in formations, fully equipped, infantry in formation, and well-organized with armoured staff.
Although he knew that the vanguard of the Ganling soldiers and horses must be the elite leaders in the army, after seeing it with their own eyes, the people waiting on the horses couldn't help but change color slightly.
Xiliang soldiers are brave and good at fighting, Ganling is a person who knows soldiers, such elite soldiers, has a complete set of armor staff and war equipment, not long ago in Linjin City to supplement the military baggage, goodbye, it is like a sweep of the past decadent Tang weather, highlighting the wind of a strong army!
At this time, Yan Xing turned his head to look at the generals Zhai Hao, Ma Lin, Meng Tu, Dian Wei and other generals who were holding troops behind him, and said with a smile:
"The elite soldiers of Xiliang are the best in the world. When I saw it today, it really deserved its name, and the monarchs and others all led the troops as generals, and they should be cited as an example, sharpen the soldiers and horses, and bring out a strong army. ”
Zhai Hao and Ma Lin were also envious of the Xiliang elite soldiers in Ganling's hands, and after listening to Yan Xing's words, they immediately nodded and agreed.
Yan Xing glanced at the soldiers and horses brought by the nearby generals a few times with a little deep meaning, and then looked at the soldiers and horses of Ganling who were getting closer and closer not far away.
The vanguard of the Ganling soldiers and horses was already approaching, and the steep slopes in the distance continued to emerge from the rear cavalry brigade and baggage vehicles, estimating the number, this time he brought no less than 10,000 people.
Obviously, the army of Ganling had more soldiers and horses than Yan Xing brought.
