"Zhang Ji is dead?" Ye Zhao stayed in Wugong for six days, transferred the army to the area of Kunming Pool to train troops, and then led his guards to Chang'an, and when he arrived in Chang'an, he met the sentinel who came to deliver the letter, only to learn the news of Zhang Ji's death, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Li Ru said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to worry, Lu Bu's capture of Hongnong is already the limit, if he dares to continue to go deeper, he will dig his own grave." ”

This Ye Zhao naturally knows that there are three hundred miles from Hongnong to this side, if it is counted from Shaanxi County, there are more than four hundred miles, Lu Bu's foundation is in Nanyang, if he occupies Hongnong, he has already stretched the battle line very long, if he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead and wants to develop in Guanzhong, then he is really looking for death, Ye Zhao only needs a brigade of partial divisions to be able to cut off Lu Bu's retreat, pout its foundation, and Hanzhong and Wuguan can send troops.

"Don't think too highly of this person's strategy, I dare to say, if no one wakes up, it will not be easy for Lu Bu to see this clearly." Ye Zhao sat down, looked at Li Ru and said: "In order to prevent Lu Bu from making trouble, it is better to garrison some troops, this person's strategy is not enough to succeed, but there is a beast-like insight on the battle array, and there are few people in our army who can defeat him." ”

Now Ye Zhao's soldiers and horses in Shuzhong have been dispersed, subduing Zuo Fengyi, Fufeng and other places, pacifying those small warlords, the Chang'an garrison is only 8,000, if Lu Bu comes to attack in a big way, it is easy to affect the speed of subjugation of the entire Sanfu land.

Although the overall situation has been decided, and the political goal of going out of Shu this time has been achieved, Ye Zhao only hopes to end this battle as soon as possible, restore the livelihood of Guanzhong, and annex Hedong at most, and he is not even prepared to take Xiliang immediately, let alone Nanyang.

Li Ru thought about it, and felt reasonable, he really couldn't have too high expectations for Lu Bu's IQ, but Lu Bu's destructive power and aggression were very strong.

"Zhang Ji deployed, maybe you can try to surrender!" Li Ru said with a smile.

"Well, this is not in a hurry, once Zhang Ji dies, it will not become any climate, now he will solve that Wei Qi first, at this time, he still wants to be my enemy, it seems that hatred blinds his eyes!" Ye Zhao leaned on the Hu bed, thinking that Wei Qi was still wandering around the lotus spoon now, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

……

Lotus spoon camp.

It has entered the middle of summer, and the weather is a little unbearable, but standing beside Wei Qi, I can feel a chill.

"Lord, withdraw!" For a long time, the military general beside him looked at Wei Qian with an unwilling face, and sighed, now Ye Zhao has successfully incorporated Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops, and 100,000 troops are stationed in the area of Kunming Chi to train troops, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who have always wanted to reap the benefits of fishing, have also withdrawn, Lu Bu now occupies Hongnong, but according to his estimates, Lu Bu is not capable of fighting to Chang'an, and now only the soldiers and horses are left all the way to Hedong, and it is difficult to resist Ye Zhao who entered Chang'an with a great victory.

Wei Qian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he didn't answer, his handsome face was gloomy and terrifying at the moment.

"It's too late to withdraw now, if it's too late, I'm afraid it's ......" The military general lowered his voice and said to Wei Qi.

Wei Qi is five years older than Ye Zhao, he is forty-seven years old at this time, in the era when the average life expectancy is between thirty-five and forty years old, Wei Qi's age is not small, just the perennial life of fine clothes and jade food, so that he does not look old, but his gloomy face at the moment makes him look a little hideous, clenching his fists and roaring: "Gongming, I am unwilling!" ”

Gongming, surnamed Xu Minghuang, the word Gongming, a person from Yang County, Hedong, good at making a big axe, in the early years of Hedong County as a small official, in the early peace years, Wei Qian returned to Hedong, decided to accumulate strength to watch the world, waiting for the opportunity, began to recruit talents, Xu Huang is not only good at martial arts, but also proficient in the art of war, was discovered by Wei Qian, recommended him to be a county lieutenant, and later promoted to the captain.

Hedong Taishou is not the person who guards the family, but the real power in Hedong is in the hands of the Wei family.

Xu Huang was grateful for Wei Qian's kindness, and he lost his position too much, so he completely fell into the Wei family and became the general of the Wei family, it sounds like a bit of a loss, but in fact, as the general that Wei Qi relies on the most, Xu Huang is not only the general of the Wei family, but also serves as a captain.

Xu Huang couldn't help but be silent when he heard this.

Wei Shao's mood, he can probably understand that in order to survive in the troubled times, the Wei family has actually been attached to Yuan Shao over the years, and with the help of Yuan Shao's big tree, he has been cultivating in Taoguang and accumulating strength.

In order to accumulate today's strength, Wei Qian sent people under the fence like this, and Taoguang kept obscure for ten years! Decade! Wei Qi poured almost all his energy and effort here, for an opportunity, an opportunity to make the Wei family a blockbuster and re-enter the list of the top families in the world.

The chaos in Guanzhong made Wei Qi see the opportunity, but he did not do it immediately, in Wei Qi's plan, he united Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui to work with the three assistants and divide the land of the three assistants equally.

Lü Bu attacked Hongnong, Ma Teng and Han Sui attacked Longyou, and Wei Qi sent troops to Feng Yi on the left.

It sounds very fair, but in fact, Wei Qi had the idea of monopolizing Guanzhong from the beginning, Lu Bu sent troops to Hongnong, which could contain Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, Ma Teng Han then sent troops to Longyou, Li Dao and Duan Xuan must be difficult to take into account, when the time comes, Zuo Feng Yi is empty, and Wei Qi can lead the army to take Chang'an directly.

As long as he can occupy Chang'an, cut off Li Dao's retreat, and attack Li Dao with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he will defeat Li Dao first, as for the right place of Longyou, let Ma Teng Han Sui first, and have a fierce battle with Li Dao, Ma Teng and Han Sui's losses will not be small, and they will retain their vitality, which is enough to deter the two.

As for Lu Bu, he was a good gun, and when he stabilized the situation in Chang'an and merged with Li Dao's soldiers and horses, he returned to Shi Hongnong and drove Lu Bu away.

When the time comes, he will form an alliance with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, sit and watch the two Yuan fight, and he will annex Xiliang, and then it will be the Central Plains Eryuan, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Ye Zhao and himself in the Guanzhong, and the situation of the five heroes competing for hegemony.

The Wei family will take this opportunity to become one of the princes of the world, the role of Guanzhong such a dragon prosperous place, when the time comes, sit and watch the success or failure of the two Yuan, if Yuan Shao is prosperous, then the joint Yuan Shu to attack Yuan Shao, if Yuan Shu is strong, then the joint Yuan Shao to attack Yuan Shu, in short, to maintain the balance of the Central Plains, the Wei family will take this opportunity to develop, plan Shuzhong, and finally lay the foundation of hegemony.

It's just that he didn't calculate that Ye Zhao would come out of Shu at this time, and ten years of Taoguang and obscurity not only made the Wei family fade out of the eyes of the world, but at the same time, no one thought that Ye Zhao could still come out of Shu.

Even if Ye Zhao appears, it is not enough to move Wei Qi, after all, Ye Zhao's appearance is only better to help him attract the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan, as long as he takes Chang'an, and then joins forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui, he may not be able to compete with Ye Zhao, but he has calculated a lot, but he didn't calculate that Guan Yu would surprise Chang'an, so that Chang'an, which was already about to succeed, fell into the hands of Guan Yu.

After some calculations, he finally made a wedding dress for Ye Zhao, how could he be willing.

And what made Wei Qi even more uncomfortable was that the two idiots Li Dao and Guo Yan were so easily killed by Ye Zhao!

He used to think that these two people couldn't make a big deal, but now this idea was reaffirmed by him, he didn't know the specific situation, but Li Dao and Guo Yan died in their own camp, and Ye Zhao didn't even move a single soldier before he killed the enemy commander, which made Wei Qi want to pull these two idiots out and whip the corpses in his heart.

The death of the two made Ye Zhao easily absorb their soldiers and horses, and his power increased greatly, originally even if Ye Zhao defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan, Wei Qi was also ready to join forces with Lu Bu, Ma Teng, and Han Sui to attack Ye Zhao, after losing the army, Ye Zhao was afraid that it would be difficult to resist their attack, and in the end, although the land in Guanzhong would definitely be eaten by Ye Zhao, even if his Wei family could not achieve the expected strategic goal, he would at least be able to gain something.

But Ye Zhao incorporated Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, not only did not suffer much loss, but his power increased greatly, as long as Ye Zhao digested these horses, even if the three joined forces, I am afraid it would not be pleased.

Han Sui and Ma Teng have retreated, and Lu Bu ...... is still in Hongnong, but if I think about it, I am afraid that I will not be able to beat Chang'an, and only his family is left alone to face Ye Zhao, who has the momentum of a big victory, and he is obviously powerless.

After a long time, Wei Qi slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his expression was much clearer, he looked at Xu Huang, and said with a bitter smile: "Soldiers and horses, retreat!" ”

Xu Rong's soldiers and horses have already begun to clean up Zuo Fengyi, if he waits any longer, he will have to go to war, Guanzhong is hopeless now, he must preserve his vitality for the Wei family.

"Whoa! The Lord is wise! Xu Huang also breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to Wei Qi.

Wei Qi waved his hand, stood up, and was about to get up and leave the camp with Xu Huang to prepare for the retreat, at this time, a group of people came from outside the camp, one of them, supported by two Wei family soldiers, when he saw Wei Qi, his expression lit up, and then he wailed: "Brother ~ Wei family is resting!" ”

"Ji Li, why are you here!?" Seeing the comer, Wei Qi's heart trembled, and he stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed the collar of the comer, and roared: "Didn't I let you stay in Linjin?" ”

Although the person who came was covered in blood, Wei Qi still recognized the person at a glance, it was his own brother, Wei Zi!

"Linjin is gone, and Hedong is gone...... Brother, the Wei family is finished! Wei Zi fell to his knees with a thud and wailed.

Wei Qi only felt that his eyes were dark, his body shook, and he fell backwards, and Xu Huang on the side hurriedly supported him.

"What the hell is going on!?" Wei Qi felt his brain buzzing, and looked at Wei Zidao in disbelief.

"It's Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao sent a force to bypass Zuo Fengyi, attack Linjin, and enter Hedong, Hedong is empty, and now I'm afraid it's ......"

What Wei Zi said afterwards, Wei Qi didn't listen to a word, he only knew that Linjin was gone, the retreat was cut off, and the soldiers and horses in Hedong were all brought out by him, and Hedong was probably also captured, with the relationship between Ye Zhao and the Wei family, once the Shu army invaded Hedong, the Wei family was probably over.

"Lord!" Xu Huang sighed and said: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to go to Hongnong first, meet with Lu Bu, send someone to Hedong to inquire about the news, and then make a plot!" ”

Wei Qi shook his head, looked at Wei Zi and said, "When did the Shu army break through Linjin!" ”

"Three days ago!" Wei Zi said with a sad face.

"Three days ......" The light in Wei Qi's eyes dimmed, from here he led the army back to Linjin, it will take at least three days, this back and forth, it is six days, six days, enough for the Shu army to gain a firm foothold in Linjin, silently looked at Xu Huang and said: "According to Gongming's plan, my heart is in turmoil, Gongming leads the troops!" ”

"Whoa!"
