Outside Chang'an City, in Guo Yan's tent.

In the felt tent of the dome, at this moment it is lit by a dozen crude butter candles on both sides of the tent, and the candles on both sides occasionally make one or two "pop" lamp bursts, exuding a faint smell of ointment.

Guo Yan, who took off his armor, was a little pale, he was naked, and only wore a pair of calf nose pants on his lower body.

The two ulcer doctors who were changing dressings and wrapping up his wounds behind him were also sweating profusely, and they could clearly see that Guo Yan's back was constantly twitching, and their hearts were also trembling, lest the movements of his subordinates be a little bigger, and they would anger Guo Yan, who was in a bad mood after the defeat, and bring death to themselves.

The movements in his hands could not affect Guo Yan's wound too much, and the speed could not be too slow, and the process of changing dressing and wrapping the wound in just one moment was as long as several hours in the mind of the fearful ulcer doctor.

After rewrapping the wound on the back of Guo's shoulder, the two ulcer doctors breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts almost at the same time, and before they could speak, Guo Yan, who had his back to them, had already begun to shake his stiff back and speak loudly.

"Alright, you all stand down!"

The two ulcer doctors who heard the words immediately felt like they had been amnestied, and immediately finished cleaning up the sores and other things around them, hurriedly retired to Guo Yan, and trotted out of the tent.

Guo Yan turned a blind eye to the departure of the two ulcer doctors, he stood high on the main seat, although he was injured, but the arrogance on his face did not decrease, but when he looked at the guests waiting in the tent, there was a faint momentum of Ling Ran.

Li Dao and Li Ru, who had been sitting in the tent, waited until the footsteps of the two ulcer doctors walked away, and then glanced at each other, and then Li Dao looked at Guo Yan, who was pretending to be strong on the main seat, and slowly spoke:

"Ado, the wound on your shoulder is okay, right?"

Guo Yan grinned, the muscles on his face spasmed, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's just a small injury, it's just a momentary carelessness, but it made Lu Bu, a thief slave, earn a great reputation in vain."

"Chang'an City has been besieged, Lu Bu is trapped in the city, as long as Chang'an City falls, no matter how brave he is, he will become a prisoner of our ranks. I have ordered many generals and colonels of all armies to reward Lu Bu himself with a heavy sum of money, and when the time comes, I will capture him and hand him over to you with my own hands, and I will let you dispose of it. ”

Li Wei knew Guo Yan's character of retribution, and he also made a look of righteous indignation, and loudly promised Guo Yan to reward Lu Bu, Guo Yan snorted coldly when he heard this, scolded a few more words, and didn't say anything more.

After seeing that Li Wei calmed Guo Yan's violent emotions a little, Li Ru, who was watching his nose and nose on the side, and Li Ru, who was quietly watching, finally opened his voice, he exhaled a breath, looked at Li and Guo and said solemnly:

"As the two lieutenants said, this Chang'an City is a lonely city, and our spies have also successfully infiltrated the city, plus the internal response in the city, this capture of Chang'an City is a recent thing. However, I wonder if the captain has ever thought about what he should do after capturing Chang'an City? ”

Li Ru's voice has a special power to penetrate people's hearts, as soon as his words fell, the corners of Li Ru's eyes moved, and he pursed his lips without saying a word, but Guo Yan's eyes widened, staring at Li Ru and saying loudly:

"Lee, the master bookkeeper, what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is how the captain will act after capturing Chang'an."

The strong Guo Yan looked at Li Ru, and after not seeing any clues from his face, he turned to look at Li Dao again, he stared at Li Dao and said:

"Since we have raised troops to avenge the Taishi, we naturally want to kill Wang Yun's courtiers, as well as Lu Bu's rebellious thieves and slaves, and the soldiers who followed us in a series of bloody battles, repeatedly made military exploits, and besieged Chang'an City, which is very hard, according to the practice in the army, we will also join the army for three days to reward the athletes in the army."

What Guo Yan said was either in the name of raising troops, or it was the practice in the Xiliang army, after Li Wei heard this, the nasolabial folds on both sides of his nose trembled, his face was gloomy, and he did not say anything about Guo Yan.

"Then after avenging the Taishi and rewarding the three armies, where will the captain go?"

Li Ru didn't care about Guo Yan ignoring himself, after he listened to Guo Yan's words, he continued to ask, Guo Yan sneered a few times when he heard this, and accidentally touched the wound on his body when he laughed, and the sharp pain caused his facial muscles to spasm, his expression was terrifying, and he didn't know whether he was laughing or angry.

"Capture Chang'an, this place in the middle of the pass, I have been waiting, where am I going to go, who can let me go again?"

Guo Yan's face was hideous, and there was no lack of hostility in his gaze when he glanced at Li Ru.

He led the troops all the way to Chang'an, and in the army, he commanded the soldiers, and the power of life and death in his hands, it was when his eyes were empty, except for Li Dao, who was also strong, he was a little in awe, and others could not enter his eyes.

"Okay, since the captain wants this place in the pass, then Ru also has to tell the captain that the soldiers and horses outside the city, called the allies, are actually coming for profit and fighting for themselves. Although the men and horses of Captain Zhang and Captain Fan are weaker than the two captains, they should not be underestimated. Feng Yi has Yan Yanming on the left, Duan Zhongming on Hongnong, and Fufeng on the right, it is said that there are also cavalry under the banner of Ma Teng, and in Chang'an City, there is more Han Tianzi above the court, I wonder if the captain will still change his original intention after listening to the words of the next one? ”

Li Ru looked at the murderous Guo Yan, he was not afraid, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, he knew that Guo Yan was blind and arrogant now, and he unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on him, so that he could completely calm down and see his situation clearly.

Guo Yan saw that Li Ru was not afraid of himself, he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he was also suppressed by Li Ru's words, he grinned, pretending to sneer indifferently:

"These people are just people who are attached to the situation, I have joined forces with Zhiran, with the Liangzhou Iron Horse under my command, who in this world can stop it?"

Although Guo Yan is arrogant and arrogant, he is not a fool after all, he also realized that he was just high-spirited, his tone was too big, and he even had some sense of self-respect, and Li Wei was by his side, and the soldiers and horses were still stronger than himself, and he couldn't help but consider his feelings when he spoke.

Therefore, although Guo Yan was verbally unconvinced, his arrogance was also suppressed a lot, and in his words, there was a faint meaning of relying on and currying favor with Li Dao.

It's no wonder that, according to the current situation, among the soldiers and horses outside the city, the strength of Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Hu Zhen, and Yang Ding is not weak, plus Yan Xing, Duan Xuan, and Ma Teng, it is absolutely impossible for Guo Yan to swallow the land in Guanzhong with his own strength, and with Li Wei's troops, the two of them join forces, and everything is possible again.

Li Dao, who didn't speak just now, also hooked the corners of his mouth at this time, and he said with a smile:

"Ado is right, you and I join forces, this place in the middle of the level, is what I am waiting for!"

Guo Yan listened to Li Wei's response, his eyes suddenly lit up, he laughed again, raised his eyebrows at Li Ru, and said sarcastically to Dong Zhuo's think tank, who still refused to let go of his former shelf:

"Master Li, how's it going?"

Li Ru breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"The world of great controversy, the way to resist and survive, is nothing more than a combination of vertical and horizontal, now all the soldiers and horses are staring at this place in the pass, since the strong can be horizontal, the weak can naturally unite the crowd, the two captains join forces, the soldiers and horses are naturally crowned with other families, but if Ma Teng attacks the back of the army, Yan Yan and Duan Xuan divide the important land, stifling the way of the army's progress, Zhang and Fan Sheng are changed inside, no matter how many soldiers and horses of the two captains are, it is inevitable that they will be tired and trapped in the hands of many mediocre people."

There has never been a theorem in the world that is always strong and always weak, the strong can unite with the strong, encroach on the weak, and the weak can also unite with each other to compete with the strong. Duan Xuan and Yan Xing are also from Liangzhou, and it is not impossible to unite with Ma Teng, who is also interested in getting involved in Guanzhong.

So this time, after Li Ru finished speaking, Guo Yan finally had nothing to refute immediately, he thought about it, and turned his eyes to look at Li Wei, and Li Wei met Guo Yan's gaze, but nodded without hesitation, obviously he agreed with Li Ru's words, or before he came, he had agreed with Li Ru's point of view.

"Okay, then Master Li, what do you think we should do?"

Guo Yan was slightly discouraged, he looked at Li Ru again, he originally thought that with his own troops, everything was under control, but under Li Ru's verbal offensive, he was still defeated after all, so he had to give in and patiently consult Li Ru's advice.

Although Guo Yan was still a little reluctant in his words, Li Ru didn't care about this, he had already spoken out in a straight way.

"Confucianism thinks that after capturing Chang'an and killing Wang Yun and Lu Bu, the king's second ministers and thieves who betray the lord, they still have to serve as the son of heaven, and among the hundred officials, in addition to the stubborn resistance, other people who are willing to obey the rule of Liang people such as us must still be entrusted with official positions, and they must no longer retaliate wantonly, nor allow the soldiers to sack the city."

Hearing that Li Ru had overturned his original plan at the beginning, Guo Yan's face instantly darkened again, he held back his anger and looked at Li Dao, but found that Li Dao nodded again and agreed to Li Ru's suggestion.

Li Ru said that these suggestions were all planned with Jia Xu when he came, and they were also affirmed by Li Wei, what is lacking now is only how to let Guo Yan join their plan in a clever way, only by uniting Guo Yan's troops, Li Wei can ensure that he has an absolute advantage, and is the first of many Liang generals, so at this time, he must use both soft and hard treatment on Guo Yan to be able to pull Guo Yan's strength.

"What else?"

In the case of Li Dao's approval, Guo Yan didn't turn his face directly, he was patient and continued to ask.

"After stabilizing the situation in Chang'an City, we will recruit Wang Yun's henchmen Wang Hong and Song Yi into the court in the name of the Son of Heaven, in addition to the hidden danger of Sanfu, but also to encircle the famous clans in Guanzhong to stabilize the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, and send court envoys to appease the states and counties in Guandong."

Hearing this, Guo Yan's face trembled unnaturally a few times, and then he held back his anger and waited for Li Ru's next words.

"Of course, the most important thing at the moment is how to dispatch the generals after the war?"

When Li Ru said this, he had already stood up, came to a map hanging in the tent, and pointed to the place in Guanzhong and began to plan.

"Under the jurisdiction of the division, Sanfu plus the land of Sanhe and Hongnong, Confucianism thinks it is ······"

Li Ru didn't say a few words this time, Guo Yan ignored his injury, and immediately jumped up, his face was resolute, and he bluntly opposed Li Ru's opinion, and he didn't care about Li Ru's attitude behind Li Ru.

"How can we wait for the states and counties that have won the bloody battle to give them over so easily!"

Guo Yan roared loudly, and his voice overshadowed Li Ru, who was talking eloquently, so that Li Ru had to stop talking, and Li Wei also got up when he saw this, ready to appease the irritable Guo Yan.

At that moment, the sound of heavy leather boots stomping on the ground was heard outside the tent, and a military officer hurried into the tent.

"Captain, Gan Sima sent someone to report, I have received a signal in the city, and I can go down to Chang'an City tonight!"
