"Lord, morale is lost, withdraw the troops." The axe-wielding general sighed and looked at Wei Qi.

The previous Xie Hong general Guan Yubian was useless, who knew that once they fought, the three brothers changed their three knives, and they knew that this was the case, it was better to rush to the top at the beginning, and the chances of winning would be greater.

It's not difficult to understand when you think about it, who is Ye Zhao? Not only is he a famous general of the Han Dynasty, but there are also a lot of fierce generals under his account, and Guan Yu dares to make a detour to attack Chang'an with 3,000 soldiers and horses, whether it is courage or vision, how can such a character be embarrassed by Xie Hong?

However, these three brothers have little ability, but they brag louder than one another, their own death is small, and the morale of the tired whole army is low, and it is not a pity to die.

Now that the morale of the generals in the army is low, it is really not suitable for war, Guan Yu not only brought these horses out of the city, but also soldiers and horses who came to support in the city, which is really not suitable for war.

Guan Yu ignored these people, circled in front of the formation for a while, and after seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, he turned his horse back to the camp.

"The courage of the general, there is probably no one in the world who is invincible!" Wei Yan stepped forward excitedly and bowed to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu shook his head when he heard this, not to mention Lu Bu who was under the Tiger Prison back then, only now in Ye Zhaojun, Dian Wei and Zhao Yunruo are not weaker than him in terms of martial arts, in addition to Zhang Liao, Guan Hai, Hua Xiong, and his third brother......

"Where are the soldiers and horses sent by Li Dao now?" Guan Yu looked at Wei Yan and asked.

"I have arrived at Xinfeng and are stationed, only thirty miles away!" Wei Yan sneered: "It seems that it is also the idea of profiting from the fisherman!" ”

Li Ying's soldiers and horses actually came earlier than Ji Ling, but when they saw that the Hedong army was attacking Chang'an, they chose to stay put, and the fight was naturally the idea of reaping the benefits.

"Ji Ling guards the city, and the rest of the people go to camp with me!" Guan Yu glanced at the direction of the Hedong Army camp, and walked around the city with a swagger in full view of everyone.

"What do they mean?" In the Hedong Army, the axe-wielding general frowned.

"A trick to lure the enemy!" Wei Qi snorted coldly, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and sighed in his heart: "Today, we will retreat first to appease morale, and then fight the enemy tomorrow!" ”

"Whoa!" The axe-wielding general bowed and began to direct the army back to the camp.

……

Yi County, Ye Zhao's camp, Li Dao, Guo Yan are now actively preparing for war, but Ye Zhao's side, the focus is no longer here with Li Guo and the others, Yi County, the entire Jingzhao and even the land of Sanfu are within Ye Zhao's reach, although Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses are prosperous, but Chang'an has been lost, and the retreat has been cut off, as long as the two people find the place where the two of them can store grain, they can be broken in one fell swoop, Guan Yu sent news that Chang'an City does not have too much grain, that is to say, Li Dao has another place to store grain, and now Ye Zhao has secretly ordered someone to inform Li Ru, Let Li Ru try to find the place where Li Guo and the others are stockpiling grain, as for Ye Zhao, he is now studying the other people who have the same idea of fighting Guanzhong as himself.

Wei Qi, Lu Bu and Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang.

According to the information transmitted back from all over the country, although Ma Teng and Han Sui have not yet raised troops, but the two have secretly gathered a large number of soldiers and horses to Yu Zuli, this distance, can already threaten the five counties of Longyou at any time, although there are Fang Yue and Ding Li stationed there, but there are not many soldiers and horses, the soldiers and horses sent to the two at the beginning, Ye Zhao transferred a part of the troops responsible for transporting the baggage, and now the actual strength of the two is only 4,000 Shu troops and 3,000 Xiliang troops, a total of only 7,000 people, if Han Sui and Ma Teng come to attack in a big way, this point of soldiers and horses, Ye Zhao is afraid that he can't stop it.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui are still in a wait-and-see state now, otherwise the place where the two of them will be stationed is not Zu Li but Pingguan, this place is the best place to exert force, once the troops are mobilized, they can directly threaten Jingzhao County, therefore, Ye Zhao judged that this news was deliberately released by Ma Teng and Han Sui to induce themselves.

Although Zu Li is important, it is not suitable for a share in this battle of Guanzhong, Zu Li can threaten the most is the five counties of Longyou, and therefore, Ye Zhao judged that Han Sui and Ma Teng either had no intention of participating in the war and bluffed, or they were attacking the east and west, and Zu Li was luring the enemy, and the real intention was still here.

It was Ye Zhao who did not increase the troops to Longyou, but sent someone to give an order, ordering Fang Yue and Ding Li to pull out the troops at night, and then take the soldiers and horses back to the city during the day, and at the same time blockade the cities, forming a trend of increasing troops, and also bluffing, and at the same time increasing the reconnaissance of the Pingguan area, Ye Zhao can be sure that if Han Sui and Ma Teng really want to share this cup of soup with him, the soldiers and horses will pass the Pingguan.

At this time, although his eyes have been set on the entire Guanzhong land, but militarily, the primary goal is to concentrate on eliminating Li Guo and the others, after all, the Xiliang Army is the biggest hostile force today, and the rest of the troops, whether Ma Teng, Han Sui, Lu Bu or Wei Qi, are not as good as the two, and before the two are eliminated, Ye Zhao is not able to send too many soldiers and horses to fight on multiple fronts.

"The 30,000 army should be the entire family of the Wei family in Hedong, and the minister thinks that the Wei Qian is absolutely unwilling to spend all the 30,000 soldiers and horses here, so now Chang'an has 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as General Guan guards the city, Wei Qi will not take advantage of it!" Xu Rong bowed and said.

"As for Lu Bu, who has now invaded Hongnong, Nanyang is too far away from Guanzhong, unless Lu Bu is willing to give up the foundation of Nanyang's ten-year operation and make every effort to attack Guanzhong, otherwise the minister does not think that Lu Bu will pour troops out, then Hongnong Zhang Ji did not participate in this battle, with him, it is difficult for Lu Bu to attack Guanzhong, at most it is only a plunder and withdraw to Nanyang."

Ye Zhao nodded silently when he heard this, and suddenly looked at Zhang Liao, who was a little depressed, and said with a smile: "Wenyuan, you go to Longxi and exchange Fang Yue back, if our army can defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan in this battle, then we will take Beidi County, then this is the place where the troops will be used, you and Ding Li cooperate, if you win this battle, reinforcements will be added to you." ”

"Whoa!" Zhang Liao came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and bowed to Ye Zhao, "Thank you, lord!" ”

Regardless of whether Lu Bu can break through Zhang Ji and lead the army through Huayin, the Shu army is likely to fight with Lu Bu, under Lu Bu's command, most of them are the former Bingzhou army, as the former Bingzhou army, Zhang Liao obviously has a resistance to fighting with the Bingzhou army, Ye Zhao transferred him to Longyou, but also to avoid Zhang Liao and the former robes and fellow swordsmen.

"The land of Hedong is rich, and the Wei family has some personal grudges with me, after this battle, in public and private, Hedong needs to be taken, and it is also a springboard for our army to march into the state in the future, this battle, the 30,000 troops of the Wei family, I don't want too many people to go back." Ye Zhao said with a smile: "This land in Guanzhong needs a population to develop, and now the people in Guanzhong are withering, this is not the atmosphere that the ancient capital should have." ”

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, and said to Ye Zhao: "Lord, Yun Yuan will lead a partial division, make a detour to attack the enemy's rear, and occupy the land east of the river before Nawei returns to the army." ”

"That's a good idea." Ye Zhao nodded approvingly, today's Zhao Yun, through continuous learning in the past ten years, has gradually developed some of his own playing style, and can already be called a general, rather than a brave general who only knows how to fight, which makes Ye Zhao very pleased.

"But!" As soon as the words changed, Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong's ability, I believe it, but Zilong's heart is too benevolent, let me ask you, if someone surrenders first and then rebels, what should I do?" ”

Zhao Yun bowed and said: "Whether it is really surrendered or not, after the city is broken, they all need to be imprisoned, and after the war, they will be screened one by one, if anyone instigates rebellion, they should be punished first!" ”

Ye Zhao's eyes lit up and he said approvingly: "It seems that these years of military training and academy study have made Zilong grow a lot, if you are the main general, how many people will be needed?" ”

"Five thousand is enough for a light step!" Zhao Yun thought seriously for a moment before bowing down.

"Okay, it's convenient for you to have five thousand soldiers and horses, I hope Zilong can surprise Nawei when he returns to the army!" Ye Zhao smiled and handed out an arrow.

"Whoa!" Zhao Yun bowed down to take the arrow, turned around and strode away.

Xu Rong looked at the direction Zhao Yun left, frowned, and said, "Lord, Zilong is indeed brave and martial now, but the benevolence in his heart is too heavy, and he may not be able to do it!" ”

"People, they all need to grow!" Ye Zhao shook his head: "How has Zilong performed in the academy and the army over the years?" ”

"Whether it is the art of war or the management of the army, it is the best grade!" Xu Rong bowed and said.

"What he lacks now is the experience of being on his own!" Ye Zhao sighed and said: "He is a good talent, he needs to go through these things to grow, now the enemy of our army, at that time Ma Teng, Han Sui, Wei Qi, Lu Bu and others, to be honest, are not strong, even if Zilong is defeated at this time, we can afford to lose, but if we wait for this battle, what our army has to face is the strong army in the world, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu, are not easy people, when the time comes, we can't afford to lose, this is the time for him to experience, I hope he can lose once, sometimes, this failure is more valuable than success!" ”

"The lord is far-sighted, and the end will not be enough!" When Xu Rong heard this, he bowed and said.

"Don't say these words, go and prepare for deployment, this time, then Li Dao and Guo Yan may not dare to refuse to defend the city anymore, and tell him with their fists that whether it is defending the city or fighting in the field, our army can teach them to be people!" Ye Zhao laughed.

"The minister will go and prepare, and he will definitely defeat the thief army!" Xu Rong said solemnly.

"Newspaper~"

At this moment, a garrison general came in, handed a bamboo tube to Uncle Liang and said, "My lord, General Guan just sent someone to send it." ”

"Oh?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, took the bamboo tube from Uncle Liang's hand, took out a piece of letterhead from it, and looked at it at a glance.

"This cloud is long!" After reading the letterhead, Ye Zhao threw the letterhead on the table, not knowing what to do and what to say.

"What's wrong?" Xu Rong looked at Ye Zhao suspiciously.

"Last night, Yun Chang led the army to attack Xinfeng, killed Li Ying, the general of Li Dao's department, and broke his army, and now the siege west of Chang'an has been lifted." Ye Zhao frowned.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Xu Rong wondered.

"It's a good thing, but Yun Chang has such a temperament, I'm afraid that if he continues like this, he will suffer sooner or later!" Ye Zhao shook his head, the sword takes the way of the edge, although it is the easiest to make meritorious contributions, but the gain is always proportional to the risk, like Guan Yu likes to take risks, Ye Zhao really doesn't know how to evaluate it.

Xu Rong was silent when he heard this, this kind of thing is Ye Zhao's concern, and his level is not qualified enough to judge Guan Yupin.
