Jiang Sheng persuaded the emperor to return to Luoyang, and the emperor said: "Luoyang has been in ruins, and it is full of devastation when you go back, and it has not been a few years since you moved the capital to Chang'an, and you have to move back to Luoyang, and the country is uncertain, so the society is uneasy." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that the rebel army is attacking Chang'an, I will move back to Luoyang, if the thief army attacks Luoyang that day, where will I move again? ”

Wang Yun said: "The matter of moving the capital is very important, how can the capital be moved because of the siege of the thief army?" ”

Jiang Sheng secretly scolded Wang Yun, he really didn't know what to do, and said: "Your Majesty, the Xiliang soldiers came quickly, and it was too late to recruit soldiers, and it was difficult to succeed in defending the city, so I could only avoid it for the time being, instead of moving the capital." After the troops and horses from all walks of life in the Kwantung region were assembled, they would counterattack again, and they would all be in Chang'an. ”

"Tai Lieutenant, although Chang'an has few soldiers, but there is the strategy of Tai Lieutenant, Lu Bu's bravery, although the Xiliang soldiers and horses are progressing rapidly, but they are fighting for themselves, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji have always been at odds, although they are said to send troops together, but each has its own plans, why not try to divide the strategy?" Wang Yundao.

"Does Situ have a plan?"

"The emperor can send secret edicts to Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji respectively, and allow him to be a high-ranking official and marquis, so that he can attack the other side and share the worries of the monarch."

"If Situ's strategy is in peacetime, it is a superior strategy, but now Xiliang soldiers and horses are united in one place to attack Chang'an, it is the time when the enemy is the same, and this plan is difficult to work." Jiang Sheng denied Wang Yun's idea.

Emperor Xian interjected and asked, "Does Taiwei have a good plan?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the Xiliang soldiers and horses are violent, but it is not difficult to resolve it, just send someone to bring the emperor's decree to the Xiliang army, reprimand the people who spread rumors, show the emperor's will to pardon the Xiliang soldiers, and add more rewards. The Xiliang soldiers are grateful for the emperor's grace and will definitely retreat. ”

"That's reasonable, is there a suitable candidate for the Taiwei?"

"There are delicate people who can take this position, please give the emperor a decree."

Emperor Xian was not ambiguous, and hurriedly asked people to take the four treasures of the study, wrote the decree in his own hand according to Jiang Sheng's meaning, and then stamped the seal and handed it to Jiang Sheng.

"I'll leave this matter to the captain, I'm waiting for your good news."

"Your Majesty, there is no certainty that this matter will be successful, and in the case of an unclear situation, please ask the emperor to go out of the city for the time being."

"Tai Lieutenant, at the time of the military disaster, the fortified city was still uneasy, let alone outside the city? How could the emperor be in danger and leave the city easily? Wang Yun raised objections again.

Emperor Xian also said: "Yes, in the current world, where is security?" What's more, the people of Chang'an know that I am in the city, so they will feel at ease, if I leave first, without the Xiliang soldiers, the people will be in chaos. Lieutenant go ahead and don't worry about my safety. ”

Emperor Xian and Wang Yun both have the same meaning, they will not leave Chang'an, Jiang Sheng saw that there was no point in persuading him, so he retired and prepared.

If the emperor does not withdraw, of course Jiang Sheng, the Taiwei, can't leave, so the Taiwei's Mansion is deserted, and there is no one to call for him, Jiang Sanchai and Jiang Liuchai make guest appearances as cooks and housekeepers, maintaining the daily life of the Taiwei's Mansion.

That night, Zhen Yan's people went out of the city and went west with the holy decree to find the camp of the Xiliang army. The next morning, Lu Bu and Guo Jia also left Chang'an with 5,000 cavalry, and these 5,000 cavalry only had less than 2,000 real cavalry, and the others were infantry troops who had received simple cavalry training, and no one could be sure of their combat strength.

Guo Jia is known as a "ghost talent", and there is indeed no shortage of clever tricks in his stomach, but 5,000 against 100,000, he has no bottom in his heart, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, just such a small person, no matter how good the strategy is, it is impossible to fight 20 times the enemy, but Guo Jia is Guo Jia after all.

After a few days of marching, the troops and horses led by Lu Bu were only a hundred miles away from the camp of the Xiliang army, and Guo Jia suggested that Lu Bu divide the 5,000 soldiers and horses into five parts.

Lu Budao: "Military division, our army already has few soldiers, and this time it is divided into five divisions, can we still fight?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Five thousand and one thousand, what is the difference in front of the Xiliang army?" ”

Lu Bu was speechless, there was such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and us, and there was no difference between the division of troops or not.

"We are not here to engage the enemy, but to harass, and since it is a harassment, we will break it into pieces. There is a plan for each assignment, and the general is also asked to divide the troops and summon the heads of the various departments to come here. ”

What Guo Jia said also made sense, but when Lu Bu saw Guo Jiawen's weak appearance, he looked down on it in his heart.

Lu Bu is different from Guo Jia, Guo Jia is following Jiang Sheng, and Lu Bu and Jiang Sheng are purely hierarchical in the army, just carrying out the military orders of the captain, before going to the battle, Jiang Sheng said first, Lu Bu still followed Guo Jia's advice, so he went to deploy soldiers and horses.

The time was not big, the four generals followed Lu Bu to the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Bu sat in the main seat, and the four generals sat down.

Guo Jia saw that the four of them looked extraordinary, so he said: "Please ask the generals to see their names." ”

"Gao Shun!"

"Zhang Liao!"

"Song Xian!"

"Wei Xu!"

In addition to Gao Shun, these are the three of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu recorded in the Romance, in fact, the other five people recorded in the Romance Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Cheng Lian, and Cao Xing were all served when Lu Bu entered Xuzhou later, and now there are only these four generals under Lu Bu.

"The military division has a strategy to be assigned, the generals must obey, and the order of the military division is the order of the general!" Lu Bu set the rules first.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. The Xiliang army is strong, if we fight together, there is no chance of victory! Therefore, the idea was to attack the Xiliang soldiers with small groups of cavalry at different times, in different directions, and in different locations. Here's how it works......"

Guo Jia explained the strategy in detail, and the four generals all said that they would strictly perform the duties of the headquarters, and Guo Jia said to Lu Bu: "General Lu commands the Chinese army to form an encirclement. ”

The generals were ordered to go, and according to Guo Jia's arrangement, five troops and horses camped at different positions on the way east of the Xiliang Army, and Guo Jia and Lu Bu were together, commanding the remaining four divisions.

Two days later, Li Yan, Guo Yan, and Zhang Jibing divided into three routes, north, south, and middle, and went straight to the east, as Guo Jia expected, the three soldiers and horses did not go hand in hand, and the speed of the march was also different, Guo Yan's soldiers and horses marched the fastest, and they were close to the garrison of Zhang Liaobu.

At dusk, Guo Yan's army camped and repaired. The march for several days was a little tired, but it never encountered any resistance, and the Xiliang soldiers were also relaxed, and at this moment of relaxation, Zhang Liao led the army to attack.

Guo Yan's army didn't expect that there would be officials and soldiers here to take the initiative to attack, so they beat the drum and gathered the generals, and when the guards explained the situation, Guo Yan smiled dumbly: "When did the officers and soldiers become bandits?" Such a few people dare to touch me? The order was sent to send 3,000 troops to kill this group of officers and soldiers. ”

After receiving the order, the general led 3,000 cavalry to fight, Zhang Liao saw that Guo Yan's army only sent 3,000 cavalry, and obviously looked down on him Zhang Liao, so he ignored Guo Jia's request to only disturb and not attack, and directly engaged the enemy.

Zhang Liao took the lead and rushed up with a sword, and the soldiers under his command saw that the main general took the lead, and they also moved forward bravely, fighting with the 3,000 cavalry of Guo Yan's department.
