Longxi and Tianshui counties are important towns in Longyou, and Li Wei's cronies have mastered them almost in two days, and the remaining three counties of Nan'an, Anding, and Guangwei are almost in the wind, and even Guan Yu's vanguard army has not yet arrived in Yixian, and the good news here has come.

As the main generals who subdued Longyou, Ding Li and Fang Yue only felt bored, the new weapons sent to them by Ye Zhao were not used at all, Longyou had already been captured, and the victory came too easily, making people unable to lift their energy.

At the same time, the news that the five counties of Longyou were broken by the Shu army also quickly spread to Li Wei's camp.

"Why did the Shu army send troops for no reason!?" Li Wei looked at Hu Feng in front of him and gritted his teeth.

"Brother Siam detained a batch of property from merchants in Shuzhong last month, which may be related to this matter!" Hu Feng hurriedly bowed and said.

"What about Li Xian?" Li Wei looked at Hu Feng with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice.

"This ...... Now that the five counties of Longyou have been destroyed by the Shu army, since Brother Siam has not returned, I am afraid that he will ......" looked up at Li Dao cautiously, and Hu Feng lowered his voice and said: "I'm afraid that it is already more auspicious." ”

"Qiang Chang~" Li Dao's eyes flashed murderously when he heard this, and he pulled out the sword at his waist and put it on Hu Feng's neck, and said sharply: "Since Li Xian is in trouble, why don't you save it?" ”

"Uncle, the Shu army came too fast, when the child escaped from the city, he wanted to go to the Siamese brother to avoid trouble, who knew that when the child arrived, Longxi had been captured by the Shu army, the child was helpless, afraid of being detected by the Shu army, so he rushed back to Jingzhao to see his uncle, uncle, the child died young, but there are some things that must be told to the uncle, so that he can survive so far."

"Pity my Siamese, alas, ......" Li Dao sighed helplessly, the Shu army sent troops to Guanlong this time, it was definitely not because of Li Xian's matter, Zhao Yun had troops out of the valley as early as January ago, and the troops were stationed here, and now it seems that it is obviously to cover the main force of the Shu army, that is to say, the Shu army has already planned this time, but it is ridiculous that he even sent people to persuade Ye Zhao to retreat.

Now it seems that it is clearly the ambition of Ye Zhao's wolf, who is not satisfied with Yizhou and vainly tries to annex the land of Guanlong.

Turning his head to look at Hu Fengdao, "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Feng lowered his head silently, not daring to let Li Dao see the thick resentment flashing in his eyes at this moment, and said in a low voice: "The weapons of the Shu army, not only have catapults that can be thrown two hundred paces away, but also wells that are higher than the city tower, bows and crossbows with a range of more than one hundred and sixty steps, and armor that is difficult to hurt by swords and guns. ”

"That's your excuse to escape?" Li Wei looked at Hu Feng, shook his head and sighed.

"What the child said, every sentence is true, don't dare to deceive!" Hu Feng raised his head and looked at Li Dao with an incredulous expression.

"That's it!" Li Wei shook his head and sighed: "Since the Shu army has captured Longyou, I am afraid that it will soon be in Linyi County, and it will be useless to kill that Zhao Yun at this moment, you go down to rest, I want to consult with that Guo Yan!" ”

Guanzhong can't go on any longer, otherwise it will only make Ye Zhao break through, and he is ready to rejoin forces with Guo Yan, at least until he repells the Shu army, the two can't fight anymore!

Li Dao turned around and left, Hu Feng clenched his fists, and looked at Li Dao's back with a strong resentment in his eyes, they are all nephews in the next life, why is the treatment so bad?

Li Wei naturally didn't know that his nephew already had a grudge against him, and this time he saw Guo Yan more smoothly, and set up a pergola between the two big tents.

Speaking of which, there was no deep hatred between the two, and even before the collapse, they cooperated very happily, and the collapse between the two sides was not any political or interest entanglement, in the final analysis, it was still in the woman.

Li Wei has a habit of sending some beauties to his subordinates, which is a very common thing, but Guo Yan's wife is jealous, afraid that Li Wei will give Guo Yan a woman and take away his favor, so he will often sow discord, at first Guo Yan didn't care much, but the wind on the side of the pillow has been blowing for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have doubts, plus Li Wei killed Fan Chou and Li Meng seized military power, which made Guo Yan wary of Li Wei, so back and forth, misunderstandings were inevitable, and eventually led to the collapse of the two, and even a big fight, losing Liu Xie, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Due to the split between the two, it was difficult to suppress the rest of the generals, and many generals led their troops to stand on their own, making Guanzhong now a miasma.

"Ye Zhao has attacked Longyou, this time, you and I need to join forces." Li Dao didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Longyou is your territory, what does it have to do with me?" Guo Yan looked at Li Dao and sneered.

"You don't think that Ye Zhao will leave you after breaking through Chang'an." Li Wei sneered and looked at Guo Yan and said: "The grievances between you and me will be talked about in the future, but now that Ye Zhao's army is attacking, if you and I don't join forces, it will be the end of being broken by him, how to choose, you can do it yourself!" ”

"Chang'an has to be mine!" Guo Yan looked at Li Dao.

"If I lose, the guanzhong will be yours, but I don't know if you have the life to take it!" Li Wei sneered: "I'm going to join forces with you, but you don't want to get an inch!" ”

"How do we join forces?" After Guo Yan was silent for a moment, he looked at Li Daodao.

"Shu Road is difficult, that Ye Zhao likes to take risks, this time on the expedition, there will not be too many troops, you and I join forces, call on the generals in Guanzhong to come, gather my Xiliang army and fight with Ye Zhao!" Li Dao said directly.

"Have you forgotten that Ye Zhao is the best at winning more with less?" Guo Yan frowned.

"Less is more?" Li Wei sneered: "What kind of people did he win, when Dong Xiang fought with the Kwantung princes, why didn't he win more with less, and he was not the same as being thrown into Hanzhong by the princes?" I wait for the generals of Xiliang to join forces, there are 300,000 troops, and the sum of his soldiers and horses in Shuzhong is probably not as many! ”

The negotiation between the two is not very much like a negotiation, but like raising a bar to make a deal, after repelling Ye Zhao, the territory will be redivided, how to arm, how to take back the military power in the hands of the generals, Ye Zhao's army is pressing, and there is not much time to entangle the issue of interest distribution, this time it is to defend the territory rather than to attack, there is not so much interest distribution, after each roughly divides the territory, he quickly sent people to contact the generals in Guanzhong, preparing to gather the elite of Xiliang to fight a decisive battle with Ye Zhao, even if Ye Zhao cannot be destroyed, Ye Zhao must be driven back to Guanzhong.

After reaching an agreement, Li Dao didn't talk much nonsense, and directly gave up continuing to besiege Zhao Yun, and led the army to Yixian, preparing to gather men and horses to block Ye Zhao first.

On the other side, Guo Yan also began to contact Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, Yang Ding, Zhu Ci and others to gather troops and horses, preparing to use all their strength to fight Ye Zhao.

……

Hongnong, on the bank of the township, a middle-aged man was fishing on the bank of the big river, enjoying the warmth of the sun, and the rope put into the river kept pulling into the river, and the man did not pay attention to it.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind them, and after a while, footsteps sounded again, and it was evident that the knight on horseback had dismounted and came behind the man.

"I'm busy with official business, but my husband is very idle." Zhang Xiu, who was dressed in armor, came behind the man, looked at the man's comfortable appearance, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Now Hongnong is in accordance with the law of the Tai Lieutenant, there are hundreds of officials, and he can share the worries of the general, when does the major general need to have a headache for these trivial matters?" The man changed his comfortable position, did not get up, and asked.

"Taiwei led the army out of Shu, and my uncle was invited by Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead the army to meet the battle, and I want Mr. to accompany him." Zhang Xiu bowed and said.

"Captain sent troops?" The man sat up, thought carefully for a while, and nodded with a smile: "This time is not bad, the Central Plains Male Lord will appear, if you can't take advantage of the Central Plains before the Central Plains is undecided, Rao is Taiwei has the ability to reach the sky, and I am afraid that I can only be trapped in Shu in this life." ”

"Don't say this, sir, come with me." Zhang Xiu wanted to pull the man up.

"I won't go." The man shook his head, motioned to Zhang Xiu not to pull him, turned over and got up from the ground, patted the grass clippings and dust on his body, looked at Zhang Xiu seriously and said, "The young general had better persuade the general not to send troops?" ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Xiu looked at the man in amazement.

"Because this battle will be lost, and if you go, it will only increase the casualties." The man shook his head.

"Not necessarily, right?" Zhang Xiu frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I have 300,000 Xiliang elite soldiers in my pass, and it is difficult to travel on the Shu Road, and the Taiwei can't bring many soldiers and horses." ”

"The young general is wrong, 300,000 Xiliang troops, before Li Dao and Guo Yan were not chaotic, there were so many, now, the generals are independent, even if they accept the invitation of Li Dao and Guo Yan, it is impossible to exhaust the soldiers and horses, these years the generals in Guanzhong have fought openly and secretly, annexed each other, how many men and horses have been lost during this period, has the young general ever calculated? In my opinion, it would be good to have 200,000. The middle-aged man laughed.

"Even so, our troops are far superior to the Shu army, why does Mr. say that he will be defeated?" Zhang Xiu frowned.

"The number of victories and defeats is never determined by the number of soldiers." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled: "Taiwei has been in Shu for ten years, and the news has been closed for ten years, so that the outside world does not know the current situation in Shu, but do you know how many people have moved into Shu from the land of Guanlong over the years?" ”

Zhang Xiu shook his head blankly, how could he know this.

"Taiwei's ability, the young general should have heard of it, ten years in Shu, enough for him to integrate the power of Shuzhong, and Taiwei is good at governing the army, ten years, enough for him to integrate the army, and the generals of Guanzhong are joining forces, but also have their own thoughts, just like the former Kwantung princes, the people are not aligned, each has its own calculations, even if it is now under pressure, gathered together, but Li Wei is suspicious, Guo Yan is timid, the two are divided, and now there is no one who can really command the generals, it can be said that it is a plate of scattered sand, even if the Xiliang army is brave, the Taiwei only needs to use some means, Secretly dividing and co-opting, you can make the generals in this level fall apart or even kill each other. The middle-aged man put away the fishing rod, let the fish on the hook go, turned his head and said, "So, I persuaded the young general not to get involved in this matter." ”

"How do you say no?" Zhang Xiu saw that the other party was leaving, and hurriedly asked.

"Call the sick, suppress the bandits, as long as you don't send troops, there will be many reasons." The man waved his hand at Zhang Xiu and said, "If the general doesn't mind, maybe he can also defect to the captain, this is in the middle of the pass...... It's going to be a change! ”
