Chapter Fifty-Four: Darkness Chencang
"Wen Zheng, you write a letter for me to the general He Jin, and report the recent achievements of our army to our general, in addition, you must remind the general in the letter, now the ten permanent servants are in charge of the Xiyuan military horses, if I am robbed of military power, the general will be isolated and helpless, and sooner or later he will kill the ten permanent servants." Dong Zhuo stroked his beard with his right hand and instructed Li Ru.
"Yes, son-in-law understands." Li Ru glanced at Jia Xu again and replied with a smile.
At this moment, Li Ru saw that Dong Zhuo asked him to write a letter to He Jin for him, and the depression that had surpassed him in terms of advice was instantly swept away, because he figured out that no matter how Jia Xu got Dong Zhuo's reuse, it was also an outsider, no better than him Li Ru, how could he also be Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, his own person, how could his position be shaken because of Jia Xu, at the moment, Li Ru's hostility towards Jia Xu also disappeared.
Li Ru is a smart person, so he naturally understands that what anyone who is a monarch does not like the most is that his subordinates fight openly and secretly, if he fights with Jia Xuming, it will affect Dong Zhuo's opinion of him and shake his status in Dong Zhuo's mind.
Li Ru's changes Dong Zhuo saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, a smart person is a smart person, and he just reminded him vaguely, and he came to his senses.
Then, Dong Zhuo looked at Jia Xu and asked, "What does Mr. think I should do next?" ”
"I thought that after this defeat, Han Sui had the only way to flee back to Liangzhou, and the lord should now recall all the troops and horses, gather the army, take Yixian first, and then march to Chencang."
…………
In order to prevent Dong Zhuo's army from chasing and killing, Han Sui, Cheng Gongying, and Yan Xing led a thousand remnants of the army, galloped all the way, and arrived at the city of Yixian in only half a day.
Looking at the closed city gate, Yan Xingce immediately stepped forward and shouted: "The people in the city, General Han Sui has returned to the city, why don't you open the city gate quickly!" ”
Han Sui looked at the closed city gate and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the next moment, Han Sui's premonition came true.
I saw a figure slowly appear above the city gate, and said arrogantly: "General Han, don't come unharmed!" ”
Han Sui and the others looked at it, wasn't this person Xu Rong who defeated him in martial arts.
A person walked out behind Xu Rong, but it was a horse play, and shouted: "General Han, you came back late, Yixian has been returned to Dong Gong since yesterday!" ”
"Ma play, it's you, a traitor, who won't go out of the city to die!" Yan Xing under the city was about to crack and roared angrily.
…………
Li Ru heard Jia Xu's words, and said with a smile: "This time, Mr. Wenhe said it wrong, Han Sui's horse play Zhang Heng and the two surrendered to the lord, a few days ago, Xu Rong and Ma played led a light horse, took Yixian, and now the three thousand defenders in Yixian County have also surrendered to the lord!" ”
In Jia Xu's astonishment, Dong Huang took Li Ru's words and said proudly: "Not only that, the lord also passed a letter to Hanyang Taishou Gai Xun, asking him to send troops to Chen Cang, calculate the time, General Gai Xun should have taken Chen Cang by now, and it won't take long for the news to come." ”
When Jia Xu heard this, he glanced at Li Ru, and knew without thinking about it that it was Li Ru's idea to let Gai Xun attack Chen Cang.
It seems that Dong Zhuo's command is indeed full of talents! Now Dong Zhuo has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and several good generals, and he has become the most powerful prince in the world.
"I don't want to, but I'm wrong, I'm ashamed!" Jia Xu smiled bitterly, and then said: "The lord is cultivating the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark, this plan is very wonderful!" Now that the lord has taken Chencang, the lord can directly wave his army west, go to Hanyang, and march into Longxi. In addition, the lord can send two other generals, each leading an army, to attack the northland, settle the two counties, and finally join the lord in Jincheng! ”
Dong Zhuo bowed his head and said with a smile: "Wen He's plan is very good, our army is divided into three ways, so that Liangzhou will definitely be held in the shortest possible time!" I just don't know who can take on this responsibility? ”
In Dong Zhuo's view, among the main generals under his command, Hua Xiong is too reckless, Dong Huang's martial arts and strategies are not very clever, Gao Shun and Xu Huang have been in the army for a short time, and they are not experienced enough to lead troops, and Huangfu Jianshou is not Dong Zhuo's lineage, only one Xu Rong can lead an army alone, and he should be a heavy task.
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The first Lingqiang of Beidi County is fierce and aggressive, and it just so happens that General Huaxiong is excellent in martial arts, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, so it is best not to send him to battle."
And the feudal Qiang Kingdom of Anding County, although there is little wisdom, but there is no big strategy, General Xu Rong has a lot of resourcefulness, and is mature and steady......"
Jia Xu was halfway through speaking, when his face suddenly changed, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Dong Zhuo was puzzled and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with Wenhe?" ”
Jia Xu's face was heavy, and he said solemnly: "Lord, we have neglected one thing.
Han Sui was short of soldiers and food at this time, so he would definitely return to Yixian first, take away the soldiers, horses, grain and grass from Yixian, go to Chencang, and retreat to Xiliang.
But now that General Xu Rong occupies Yi County, and Han Sui goes to Yi County, General Xu Rong doesn't know that Han Sui was deliberately let go by us, in case General Xu Rong kills Han Sui, then our previous plan will be messed up! ”
…………
"Withdraw, withdraw!"
Looking at Xu Rong and Ma Yu in the city, Han Sui decisively ordered a retreat.
What can they do if they don't return it, they only have a thousand remnants of the army, and they are running all the way, and the defenders in the city are thousands to say the least, if they shout like Yan Xing, wouldn't they hit the stone with an egg, and they don't know how they will die when the time comes.
It's better to take advantage of the fact that Xu Rongma in the city is not ready to play and withdraw quickly.
Han Sui came and went faster, without saying a word, he turned around and left, not ambiguous at all, and the remnants of the soldiers behind him also quickly whipped up and followed closely!
Han Sui walked so neatly, but Xu Rong in the city was stunned, he originally planned to drag Han Sui on it, secretly gather troops, and kill Han Sui, he didn't want people to run away first.
"Ma Wan, you stay and garrison Yixian, and I will lead the army to chase and kill Han Sui."
Xu Rong dropped such a sentence, turned around and went down the city tower.
"The last general commands!"
Ma Yu only smiled bitterly, he originally wanted to ask Xu Rong for his life to kill Han Sui, which was a great merit, but Xu Rong was good, left him behind, and led the troops to chase after him alone.
Actually, Xu Rong didn't want to monopolize the credit so he left the horse to play.
Xu Rong has always been steady, leaving the horse to play, firstly, because Yixian County is newly determined, if there is no general to guard, it is inevitable that there will be variables.
The second is because Ma Play is Han Sui's old general, if Han Sui dies in the hands of Ma To, Ma Wan will inevitably have a bad reputation as a seller seeking glory.
Xu Rong is loyal and righteous, and he voted for Dong Zhuo, and now he is also his robe brother, so he naturally doesn't want him to be infamous for killing the lord and seeking glory.
In an emergency, Xu Rong did not gather too many men and horses, only led more than 1,000 iron horsemen, went out of the city from the West Gate, and chased and killed Han Sui.
…………
"This ......" Dong Huang opened his mouth, and in the end he didn't know what to say, at this moment, he hoped that Xu Rong did not occupy Yixian.
Li Ru was also very helpless. At this moment, even if he had unparalleled wisdom, there was no way to immediately inform Xu Rong and let him not chase and kill Han Sui.
Dong Zhuo frowned and said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no way, everything depends on Han Sui's creation." ”
