Chapter 272: The land of Guanzhong is finally under your feet

In the end, Li Ru still touched a soft nail at Jia Xu's place, Li Ru didn't say much, but seeing Jia Xu from beginning to end, he had that calm expression to the extreme. are all smart people, Jia Xu naturally knows Li Ru's intentions, and Li Ru also knows that in the end, he just asked "Wenhe is willing to surrender", but there was no result.

Li Ru smiled bitterly and replied to Liu Yuan, if you want to conquer Jia Xu, it will take some effort.

Fang's defeat of the Guanzhong coalition army is the time to take advantage of the situation to advance westward, and there is no time to delay, no matter how heavy Jia Xu is, he can't weigh the entire Guanzhong. In order to prevent changes, after resting for the night, Liu Yuan led the army westward again. Yesterday's battle slightly vented the depression that the soldiers of the Xia Army had been holding back in the past two months, and the fighting spirit was still there.

The tens of thousands of captives who surrendered, under the leadership of Duan Xuan, Wang Fang, Li Meng and other generals, then sacrificed the "Xia Dong family", most of them surrendered, and 40,000 people were directly incorporated into the army as the auxiliary army of the Xia army. Duan Xuan and others were still entrusted with generals, and many soldiers were transferred from the Xia army to serve as middle and low-level officers.

The rest of the surrendered army was left here, led by Gao Shun Cao Xing, built a city and built a pass, thinking that it was a barrier in the pass, and left two thousand summer soldiers for the two to protect everything. In the newly established pass, Liu Yuan personally inscribed his name, and it was called Tongguan.

The army marched westward, marched along the last mountain road, and after passing Huayin, Liu Yuan finally set foot on the land of the Guanzhong Plain, which he had been thinking about day and night. In Huayin, the captives were huddled in the city, and the ministers who fled were not in time. On the south bank of Weishui, under the summer sun, Liu Yuan rode on a horse, and the shadows on the ground were long.

Hundreds of guards followed, guarding all sides, and to the south was a long army of cavalry marching westward. Collected and surrendered tens of thousands of horses, and now there are more than 70,000 troops in total, stretching for dozens of miles, which is really spectacular.

Weishui soup soup, flowing eastward, Liu Yuan rarely let out a long roar, pointing to the west, and his pride was exposed: "Chang'an has been down, Li and Guo have been defeated, since then to the west, a horse and a flat river, and there is no hindrance, in this pass, it will be lonely in the end!" ”

"Let's go! To the west! Then he drove his horse and ran to the west.

……

Li Dao led the remnants of the army to flee westward, and the speed was not slow, and there were many generals in the Li family, firmly leading thousands of people to follow Li Dao. The defeated soldiers who fled all the way really made him gain a lot, and his strength recovered to more than 10,000 people.

There are more than 10,000 troops, and the number is really quite a lot, but they are all like lost dogs, and they are hungry, and ten percent of their combat strength has gone seven or eight percent early. Retreating westward in a hurry, the wolf rushed to the front, and Xu Bu Chiyi received a message from Liu Yuan's flying eagle, and quickly went south to intercept and cross Weishui overnight, but it was still too late.

Li Dao's army was defeated and had already gone west. Without the slightest hesitation, he resolutely pursued westward. Li Dao led the army, but also felt that the return road would not be smooth, the Xia army in the rear was not weak in the pursuit behind the buttocks, and was careful, and nervous, running more than 140 miles, in the early morning, encountered the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Tan Zhe.

After a battle, there was no accident, Lu Bu and Tan Zhe directly led the cavalry to charge into battle, Li Dao was defeated again, and fled back to Zheng County, a large county in Weinan. Defending the city, but in fact trapped in the city. The enemy army has become a trapped beast, Lu Bu and Tan Zhe naturally will not use cavalry to attack the city, just outside the city, eat and drink, watch, star, wait for the arrival of the rest of the Xia army.

Li Wei led the defeated troops into the city, and while arranging the guards, he also gave an order to let the soldiers carry out the final round of madness. Burning, killing and looting in the city, all the defeated soldiers released the beast nature in their hearts, and Zheng County suddenly became a purgatory on earth.

The mournful howls in the city continued to spread outside the city, and Lu Bu and Tan Zhe sat silently on their horses, their faces very calm. Send his cavalry to roam outside Zheng County in all directions. The division led by Subu Chiyi soon arrived, and after receiving a report from the two, he immediately set up camp outside the city and surrounded the city.

is not in a hurry to attack the city, Li Dao's remnants, but when he dies, the city will be broken sooner or later. After waiting for two days, the defeated troops in Zhengxian City were completely disheartened and their morale declined, if it weren't for Li Dao's bloody means to forcibly suppress them, they would have dispersed long ago. Even so, after two days, thousands of soldiers sneaked out of the city and surrendered.

Liu Yuan led the army to arrive, and the Xia army was divided into divisions, and this time, it was he Liu Yuan who held an army of 100,000 and besieged Li Dao. Zheng County is even more in danger.

"Meet the King!" In the newly erected big tent, everyone arranged in order according to the size of the knighthood and paid homage to Liu Yuan.

"Excuse me!" Liu Yuan's expression was relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to raise it falsely.

The generals and schools from the conscription are basically gathered, half of Hu and half of Han, and although the tent is large, there is a feeling that it cannot be squeezed.

"Gongming, rush to Pusaka, repel the Li Li brothers, enter the Guanzhong for my partial division, and jointly attack the thief army in the Guanzhong. You are the first to take the lead, and Lone really didn't misunderstand you! Liu Yuan's eyes were full of appreciation.

For Xu Huang, not to mention his reputation as a "good general of the five sons", after this battlefield test, he is indeed a good general and can be reused. After invading the Han Realm, Liu Yuanfang noticed that the talents under his command were so poor. People like Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao have countless talents to use, especially in the county officials, although they are full of families, but it is the existence of these people that stabilizes their rule and gives them the spare strength to expand outward.

At this time, Liu Yuan lacked this kind of middle and low-level officials, relying only on the army and soldiers, and the rule of the local area was really difficult to be as "fine" as the rest of the princes, and it was even more difficult to last.

It is rare to have such a wise and brave general as Xu Huang, so naturally he must use it well, Liu Yuan already has a plan in his heart, and after a period of investigation, he can be entrusted with a heavy position.

"Chi Yi, Tan Zhe, Feng Xian, Zhang Ji, you are also doing well, if you don't contain it from the side, especially Tan Zhe and Feng Xian, cut off the enemy's food and grass, and exert great pressure on the enemy. Lonely in the east, he won't break the army of Li and Guo so easily! Looking at the other people, Liu Yuan happily: "Each of them will report all the meritorious services of the soldiers under his command to Li Li, who will organize and record them." Wu Huali has already captured Chang'an for Lone, and when Lone enters Chang'an, he will be rewarded for his merits! ”

"King Xie!" All the generals were happy and thanked Liu Yuan.

"Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Hou Cheng, Song Xian!" The tent was quiet for a while, and Liu Yuan called the four people.

The four of them were a little stunned, they were Lu Bu's generals, although they were listed as captains, but in this big tent, their status was the lowest. As for the surrounding Hu people, they are from the grassland clan and have knighthoods, although they are both school captains, they can't be compared at all.

Suddenly hearing that Liu Yuan called himself, he was shocked, and he bowed his head slightly with apprehension, and bowed: "The villain is waiting!" ”

Glancing at the four of them, Liu Yuan ordered lightly: "Alone in Weinan, I heard that the people in Guanzhong, because of the war, the three auxiliary soldiers and the people fled in all directions, and there were many cases of migration to the south. When Lone comes, they should be the people under Lone's rule, and the four of you each lead two thousand troops to Sanfu to cut off the fleeing people. In Guanzhong, Lonely does not allow another person and a people to be lost, even if it is bundled, it must be left for Lone! ”

"No!" Liu Yuan personally assigned tasks to the four of them, and this matter was "easy", it was simply to give credit to them, and he immediately responded excitedly.

Liu Yuan looked at Lu Bu: "Lone calls Feng Xian's subordinate generals, can Feng Xian have any objections?" ”

"Don't dare!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "The king gave them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it was their creation to serve the king!" ”

Liu Yuan chuckled, satisfied with Lu Bu's response. Transferred four people, Lu Bu's subordinates, except for his cronies Wei Yue and hundreds of old subordinates in Bingzhou, there are no old people, and the rest, even if Wan Qi and him, are also Xia Qi!
