The news of the pacification of Longxi County quickly spread to Huangfu Song's military camp.

Huangfu Song summoned the generals and held a meeting of sergeants.

"General Pingxi has already obtained Longxi County, and I hope that our army can conquer Shangguo as soon as possible, so that we can attack from the front and back and annihilate the kingdom army. What do you think? ”

The generals were silent, only Sun Jian stood up and said impassionedly: "This is a good opportunity to break the thief, the general must not hesitate!" ”

Dong Zhuo sneered and asked, "We can't break the city after besieging it for several months. Does General Sun have a good plan to break the city? ”

Sun Jian said confidently: "Today is different from the past. Now that the rebels have cut off the back road, if they don't abandon the city and break through, they will die. All our army had to do was retreat a few miles and lure the rebels out of the city. ”

"It's a brilliant plan." Huangfu Song nodded yes, although he also considered the possibility of Guo Yi splitting the soil and becoming king, but he was ordered to beg for thieves and did not dare to fail to fulfill his duties. Destroy the rebels first, and then deal with internal problems.

"Order the three armies to retreat five miles to the south."

Dong Zhuo and the others returned to the big tent and also held a simple military meeting, and the main discussion point was how to deal with this retreat.

Li Ru offered advice: "It can be cut off by our army, so that as long as the rebels leave the city, our army will immediately pursue it, and it will be a great success." ”

Dong Zhuo nodded, this is indeed a good way. After thinking about it, he asked again: "In your opinion, Guo Yi can tear the earth and become king?" ”

"No, it won't." Li Ru said categorically: "Guo Yi cherishes feathers, although he has debauchery, he takes care of the reputation of celebrities everywhere. Wherever he went, he conquered and won, but he had nothing to take from his possessions, and women had nothing to do, and this hero's ambition was also. The land of Xiliang, a place where non-heroes are used, Guo Yi will not stay here. ”

"Not really." A scribe stood out on the side and said slowly: "Guo Yi recruited the three counties, but he included the wife of the county commander in the room. ”

Li Ru retorted: "Wang Zhong took the initiative to offer his wife, which is not enough evidence. ”

"Definitely." The scribe retorted: "If it weren't for Guo Yi's request, how could Wang Zhong send his wife away?" ”

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Guo Yi is the main general, he wants to sleep with a woman, that's not a matter of course." Wang Zhong should naturally feel the five feelings, and it should be and deserved. ”

The faces of all the generals changed, this is not right. Dong Zhuo is the most greedy for money and lustful, but he is polite to them, and he usually gives them a big reward, and the women are not offended. What I mean by this today is that he, Dong Zhuo, also wants to try the women of his subordinates.

Li Ru sensitively realized this, and hurriedly said: "After all, Guo Yi is young and vigorous, and there are many people who are not subordinate to the three counties in the new country, this is a move to subdue the hearts of the people, and it is an expedient measure. ”

The scribe wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dong Zhuo, "Okay." Since Guo Yi has no intention of separating, there is no need to think about it. ”

Li Ru asked, "How should the lord settle the land of Xiliang?" ”

Xiliang is where Dong Zhuo started, and all the generals here are also locals. Emotionally speaking, they are naturally inclined to take root in Xiliang.

But Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both know very well that if Xiliangjun wants to make a move, he must enter the customs, otherwise he will always be able to rely on others. The appearance of Guo Yi has exacerbated this sentiment even more, Guanzhong is not just a famous family with a false reputation, but also heroes and heroes who can conquer the world.

Dong Zhuo swept past the generals and said in a deep voice: "We are here to beg for thieves, of course, to make great achievements and seek a future." ”

At the end of the meeting, the generals returned to the camp to begin the retreat. Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew found a scribe, this person was in his forties, with a knife-like face and vulture-like eyes, under Dong Zhuo's account, he was only one of the many strategists, and he was not taken seriously. But in Zhang Ji's eyes, this person is not trivial.

"Mr. Wenhe, do you have a life-saving plan to inform me?"

This Mr. Wenhe is Jia Xu. He rarely has a good reputation and a strategy. It's just that this person is too ruthless and overdoes everything, so Dong Zhuo doesn't like it.

Jia Xu pretended to be surprised and asked, "The general is rising step by step, why do you say this?" ”

"It's just a matter of rising and falling." Zhang Ji bowed over, looked extremely humble, and said respectfully: "Please don't be sloppy, sir." ”

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There are two ways. First, if you make a great contribution this time, the lord will definitely appreciate the general. Second, defected to Guo Yi, this person is short of soldiers and major generals, and when employing people, the general will be reused, but this person is a famous man in the world, and I am afraid that he looks down on us and other small people. ”

"Then use the first plan." Is this still a choice? To make a career for one's own lord and public is of course the first choice. Zhang Ji thanked him again, and asked: "Now that I don't have a single soldier, how can I make contributions?" ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The general asks the lord to order you to cover the break." ”

Zhang Ji heard this, "Good." ”

Back in his camp, Zhang Ji said to the ambitious Zhang Xiu: "Nephew, you take your family and retreat with the lord, be sure to protect your aunt." ”

Zhang Xiu said unceremoniously: "I should follow my uncle to make meritorious service, what is the pity of a few women?" ”

"Idiot!" Zhang Ji scolded, held Zhang Xiu's wrist, and said sharply: "If the lord allows me to break off, it will definitely be dangerous." What will you do if I die in battle? Our Zhang family can't be broken. ”

Zhang Xiu was puzzled, "Why did uncle say this?" Our army is strong and strong, and there will never be such an accident. ”

Zhang Ji sighed and said helplessly: "If you can't make a great contribution this time, even if you come back, we can only go elsewhere." Therefore, you must protect your aunt. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Jidao: "Guo Yi is invincible in battle, and his subordinates Long Yi, Long Er and others are all henchmen, and they have great achievements. You and I went to run, but I was afraid that we wouldn't even see others, and we had to have a stepping stone. ”

"Send your aunt to him?"

"Exactly." Zhang Ji sighed and said, "Guo Yi is a famous man in the world, and he is elegant. Your aunt is proficient in music, and she will be able to do what she likes, and seek a future for you and me. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, "Then listen to uncle." ”

Outside the city, tens of thousands of troops began to retreat. On the city tower, the soldiers defending the city breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that the imperial court finally couldn't hold on.

The kingdom laughed and immediately set up a banquet to celebrate the retreat of the imperial court. The generals also laughed, and the banquet did not disperse until late at night in a dance of warblers and swallows.

"Brother Shoucheng stays."

"Brother Wen Yue, what do you have to say?"

Han Sui took Ma Teng's hand and asked, "Now that Guo Yi has taken Longxi County, how should I stay?" ”

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said: "This hairy boy humiliated me, I will take revenge!" ”

Han Sui sighed and said, "General Fang Cai ordered to fight tomorrow, and I don't know what the odds are. ”

"There should be fraud." Ma Teng calmed down and analyzed: "Our army is a battle of trapped beasts, but the other party suddenly retreated. It is to lure our army out of the city, so that it can be broken in one fell swoop. ”

Han Sui was shocked and hurriedly said, "This matter should be reported to the general." ”

"Nope." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Ma Teng's eyes, and he said coldly: "Recommending this person is just an expedient measure." Now that you and I are full-fledged, what do you want him to do? Let him go, in this cool place in the west, you and my brother can run rampant. ”

Han Sui was overjoyed, "Brother Shoucheng is high-minded." ”
