Looking at the letter in his hand, Ye Zhao's temples jumped suddenly.

"Lord, but General Guan is in trouble?" Li Ru noticed that Ye Zhao's face was wrong, and looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.

"No, he's causing me trouble!" Ye Zhao handed the letter to Li Ru and rubbed his temples vigorously, he felt that he had miscalculated, he should not have sent Wei Yan to Guan Yu in the first place.

Guan Yu himself is an arrogant and bold character, and Wei Yan, judging from his previous performances, is also a very energetic and thoughtful young man.

When these two people who don't like to play cards according to common sense get together and let them fight according to the normal routine, it is really difficult for them.

"Now that Li Dao and Guo Yan are guarding Yixian County and martial arts, the people of Xiliang will gather, and Chang'an is indeed empty!" After reading the letter sent by Zhou Cang, Li Ru's brows were also slightly furrowed, and he looked at Ye Zhao and said: "General Guan is attacking Chang'an with light cavalry at this moment, if it succeeds, it can make the Xiliang generals mess up, but it's just ......"

I'm afraid a normal general wouldn't do such a thing, right?

Ye Zhao is not without generals who can be compared to Guan Yu, Xu Rong and Zhang Liao, including Zhao Yun, who has studied in the academy for a few years and has actual combat training, are not much worse than Guan Yu now, in addition, Ji Ling, Fang Yue, and Ding Li are all good commanders, as well as Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, Guan Hai, these fierce generals, no matter which of these people is placed in Guan Yu's position, they will not have this idea.

But it is a bit unfair to say that the total denial is also a bit unfair, the eyes of the two are indeed poisonous enough, if they can really defeat Chang'an at this time, this war has not yet begun, and half of the victory has already been won, and the most important thing is that even if these three thousand soldiers and horses are all lost, for Ye Zhao, it is a completely bearable loss, but if it is successful, the benefits will be great.

After all, today's Shuzhong is the most prosperous, with a population of nearly 10 million, north to Hanzhong, south to the edge of Jiaozhou, Ye Zhao has absolute control, as long as Ye Zhao is willing, three Ding draw one, a million troops can be taken, the loss of 3,000 men and horses is really not a problem, the most important thing is that I am afraid of losing Guan Yu, a general.

If Guan Yu died on the battlefield in this level, it would really not be worth it, so for Guan Yu's decision this time, Li Ruzhen did not praise the gains and losses, so he did not continue to speak.

"Zhou Cang can't lead an army alone, so he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the soldiers of the Xiegu battalion and the Yixian battalion to join forces!" Ye Zhao sighed, the matter has come to this point, what else can he say, he gives Guan Yu a lot of autonomy, and he also believes in Guan Yu's ability, but it seems that Guan Yu and Wei Yan's confidence in their ability is higher than Ye Zhao's.

Since Li Dao retreated to Yixian, there was no need to continue to garrison troops in Xiegu, even if it was unfavorable to withdraw from the division, he would not go to Xiegu.

"Tell the herald to speed up the march! Before tomorrow evening, we must rush to Yixian. Ye Zhao got up and said.

At this point, instead of complaining about Guan Yu, it is better to create enough deterrence for Li Dao and Guo Yan to let them focus on the main force.

"Whoa!"

The generals responded to the order, and the army that was originally ready to camp and rest was pulled out again, at this time it was still two hundred miles away from Yixian, and it was also the training intensity and food supply of the Shu army, and the ordinary army, not to mention the day and night march of two hundred miles, could not do it only by marching at night.

The food supply of the Shu army will consider nutritional balance, and in the past ten years, there is basically no night blindness in the army, but in ordinary armies, most people live to varying degrees of night blindness, and even some generals will appear, so now in the whole world, only Ye Zhao's army can march at night.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhao is reluctant to expand the army on a large scale, because once the war starts, the million army sounds bluffing, but it is at the cost of the economic stagnation or even regression of the entire Shuzhong, and the food must not be considered as well nourished as it is now.

"Lord, Zhou Cang sent a letter saying that Duan Xuan has appeared in the area of Huangshui and is gathering in the area of Yixian, and our opponent this time is probably not only Li Dao and Guo Yan, but many Xiliang soldiers in the entire Guanzhong." Li Ru rode his horse and followed Ye Zhao's side and bowed.

"At the beginning, Li Guo and the two claimed to have 300,000 troops in the Xiliang army, but according to the investigation of secret agents over the years, among the generals in Xiliang, Li Guo and the two had the strongest troops, but Li Wei had only 60,000 troops, Guo Yan was about 50,000, in addition, Duan Xuan had 30,000, Zhu Ci had 10,000, Yang Ding also had 10,000, and Zhang Jitun was stationed in Hongnong, and the strength was only 20,000, in addition, there were some generals who had only 35,000 troops, and the total number of soldiers and horses was only 20,000, and now the total strength of the generals in this pass is only 200,000!" Ye Zhao pondered this, looked at Li Ru and said, "I want to know if any of these people can be used by me." ”

Dividing the Xiliang Army was originally a plan prepared by Ye Zhao early on, even if the Shu army could fight, it could fight with one enemy and two, and it might not be defeated in a frontal battle, but the soldiers and murder weapons could also reduce some losses, and Ye Zhao would not do those thankless things.

The elite men and horses in Shuzhong, if they were lost in the battle against the overlords such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Ye Zhao would not be too distressed, but if he fought against Li Dao and Guo Yan, even if the other party had more than twice as many troops as his own, Ye Zhao was unwilling.

"Duan Xuan is suspicious, but he is the brother of the former Taiwei Duan Ying, and he has a lot of experience in governance, and the lord gave Li Dao a plan at that time to deal with the Guanzhong family, this person quite agreed, and vigorously promoted, now this Guanzhong land can not be chaotic, this person can be said to have a lot of credit." Li Ru said with a smile.

"Since Duan Ying was the official and worshiped the Taiwei at the beginning, it should belong to the family, how can this Ying help us to carry out this matter?" Ye Zhaoqi said, this is the first time I have seen someone from a family support his plan.

"The lord didn't know, at the beginning, Duan Ying was able to worship Taiwei, all because of his attachment to the eunuchs, and when he hunted and killed Tai Academy Shengguang and two years, because the matter of the powerful minister Wang Fu was exposed, Duan Ying was implicated, and finally committed suicide in prison, since then, the Gu Zang Duan family has declined because of this incident, and because Duan Ying persecuted the scholars before, although it was to protect his wealth, but he was also despised by the scholars, and even the Huangfu family and the Zhang family suppressed more, which made the Duan family collapse, and later Duan Xuan voted for Dong Xiang to keep the family, but since then it is no longer a family, Duan Xuan is this person, It's a little narrow-minded, it's ......" Li Ru finally smiled and didn't finish his words, but the meaning was almost clear.

is narrow-minded, so he hates the hatred suppressed by the corporal in the world, so as long as he can hit the scholar class, Duan Xuan will spare no effort to support it, and it is also for this reason that when Ye Zhao gave Li Dao a plan, and the Chang'an Imperial Court was opposed by the Manchu Dynasty, Duan Xuan even did not hesitate to use troops to support Li Dao and Guo Yan to implement Ye Zhao's policy, so that this place in the middle of the pass would not be crippled by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Although the starting point is not very glorious, in fact, Guanzhong can retain its current vitality, and Duan Ying has made great contributions.

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "In other words, this person is available?" ”

As for being narrow-minded, Ye Zhao didn't let him replace him in his own position, just to be a capable official, narrow-minded or not, or how about personal morality, Ye Zhao didn't pay attention to it, ability is the most important, and Duan Xuan now seems to be indeed suitable to be a capable official.

"The minister is willing to go to Duan Xuan's camp and persuade Duan Xuan to take refuge in the lord." Li Ru smiled at Ye Zhao on the horse.

"It's too dangerous for the military advisor to go in person." Ye Zhao frowned and looked at Li Rudao.

"Don't worry, Duan Xuan is narrow-minded and suspicious by nature, and there is a gap between him and Li Dao and Guo Yan, even if he doesn't agree, he will never be embarrassed." Li Ru bowed and said, "In addition, the minister also wants to go to Yang Ding, Zhu Ci and Zhang Ji's camp. ”

"Can these three surrender?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru, Zhang Ji, Yang Ding, and Zhu Ci are all generals with heavy troops in Guanzhong now, if these people and Duan Ying can be surrendered, the victory will already be locked in before the battle in this Guanzhong.

"It may not fall, Zhang Ji's personality is a little cowardly, he has a good personal relationship with Li Dao and Guo Yan, Yang Ding and Zhu Ci are people who tend to be inflammatory, even if they fall, they will only wait and see, and they will not really help the lord, but as long as they can be persuaded to wait and see what happens, and Duan Ying as an internal response, it is enough!" Li Ru shook his head and said: "And most of these two people are a disaster for the people, and they have a bad reputation, and the minister does not recommend that the lord recruit these two people, so the minister is not going in the name of our army, but hoping to rebel against these two people while Li Dao and Guo Yan's army is stationed here, and raid the rear of Li Guo, and then the lord can justifiably remove these two people." ”

The corners of Hua Xiong's mouth, which was riding a horse and walking beside Li Ru, twitched.

I know that this reader doesn't have a good thing!

Ye Zhao didn't know, but he knew that when Dong Zhuo was still there in the past, Yang Ding and Zhu Ci were quite unkind to Li Ru, they didn't take Li Ru in their eyes, and they often scorned him, and now this Li Ru wants to take this opportunity to take revenge!

Ye Zhao thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's fine, but Wen Wei is going alone, I really don't worry, it's better to let Wen Kai go with you, I remember that before Lu Bu, Wen Kai was known as the first fierce general in Xiliang, and he should also have some reputation, let him accompany you, I am also more relieved." ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Ru bowed down and smiled, then turned his head to look at Hua Xiong and said, "In this way, there will be Lao Wen." ”

Hua Xiong felt the cold air rising from his back, and was stared at by Li Ru, he always had a feeling of facing a poisonous snake, and he had the heart to refuse, but Ye Zhao had already given the order, and he couldn't disobey it, so he could only reluctantly give it up: "Take the order!" ”

At that moment, Hua Xiong ordered a few relatives to casually follow Li Ru to break away from the army, and went straight to the area of Huangshui, preparing to stop Duan Xuan before Duan Xuan joined Li Guo's army.

Ye Zhao led his own army and continued to rush to Yixian, preparing to join Zhao Yun's vanguard army as soon as possible.
