Chapter 0734: The Attitude of the Western Liang Army
The Yongliang region, where the Xiliang army is located, is located in the northwest, but there is a Wuguan and Yuan Shu's place of governance Jingzhou Nanyang.
Yuan Shu had a long connection with the warlords of Western Liang. After Dong Zhuo was seriously injured, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, for the sake of the future, contacted the princes of the Central Plains one after another.
And the relationship with Yuan Shu is closer than before.
Yuan Shu had many soldiers and horses, and there was plenty of grain and grass. Fighting with one is not a short-term effort.
In order to ensure victory, Liu Mang mobilized a large number of troops and horses, and the defensive forces in Hongnong and Hedong have been greatly reduced.
If the Xiliang army takes advantage of the fire to loot and go east out of Tongguan, it will directly threaten Hongnong, Hedong and other places.
The position of the warlords of Xiliang was crucial to this battle. For this reason, Liu Mang sent Wu Yong to Yongliang.
……
Dong Zhuo was seriously injured and half dead, and he has been dead for more than two years.
Dong Zhuo's confidant Li Ru knew very well that the Xiliang warlord Li Dao Guo Yan and others had long been willing to surrender to the Luoyang Imperial Court, or support the army and divide the territory. The reason why he has not acted is only because Dong Zhuo still has a breath.
If Dong Zhuo died, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Ru spared no expense and bought precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old ginseng everywhere, so as to hang Dong Zhuo's life.
And Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, although they have long been centrifuged. But they were afraid of Dong Zhuo's prestige in the Xiliang army, so they didn't dare to make any moves.
At present, Li Ru Niufu protects Dong Zhuo and lives in Yiwu.
Li Dao and Guo Yan are entrenched in Zuo Fengyi. Fan Chou was stationed in the area of Chencang, the right Fufeng. Xu Rong and Hu Zhen occupied Chang'an. Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, was stationed in Yinzheng County, Jingzhao, and sent his general, Wei Wentong, nicknamed Huadao General, to guard the key pass Tongguan.
……
Wu Yong is very familiar with Yongliang.
During Dong Zhuo's reign in the government, Wu Yong was stationed in Chang'an. and the warlords of Xiliang, all of whom are connected.
Wu Yong entered Tongguan and first met with Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji's attitude is ambiguous. In addition to stating that he would not directly support Yuan Shu, he did not make other statements and promises.
Wu Yong is clear that Zhang Ji is brave and has no strategic vision. He could only make a decision depending on Dong Zhuo's situation and the attitude of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.
Wu Yong went to Chang'an again to meet Xu Rong.
Xu Rong has quite a brain, but he also has his own calculations.
Xu Rong is quite loyal to Dong Zhuo, but he also has to think about his future.
Chang'an is the western capital of the empire. Controlling Chang'an is the biggest capital in his hands.
Whether it is Dong Zhuo's recovery or Liu Mang's invasion of Yongliang, Xu Rong can rely on the protection of Chang'an as his own credit. And he will never participate in the war between Luoyang and Shouchun.
Having seen Zhang Ji and Xu Rong, Wu Yong's next step is to go to Zuo Fengyi.
Li Dao Guo Yan, who was entrenched in Zuo Fengyi, were the two most important generals under Dong Zhuo.
Under these two people, there are more than half of the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army, and most of the most elite iron cavalry of the Xiliang Army are under the command of General Li Guo.
During Dong Zhuo's serious injury, the attitude of Second General Li Guo will affect the entire Xiliang Army Group to a large extent.
Li Dao is anxious and believes in the magic of witch gods. Guo Yan is suspicious and capricious.
Wu Yong and Li Guo, the second general, have no friendship. Rushing to the door may not be successful. If you don't do it, you will be detained and even lose your life.
Wu Yong thought of a person - Jia Xu.
As early as two years ago, Wu Yong had contact with Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in Chang'an.
Jia Xu is good at strategizing, extremely accurate in anticipating things, and often has a plan to kill the enemy, and is known as the "poisoner" by the world.
Li Dao entrenched in Zuo Feng Yi, befriended Guo Yan, contacted Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and in the two years that Dong Zhuo was seriously injured, he stuck to the land of Yongliang and showed a trend of separation, all of which came from Jia Xu's plan.
Although Wu Yong and Jia Xu are not very familiar, Wu Yong knows Jia Xu. Its good strategy is better at self-preservation. If he can know the benefits and disadvantages, he should be able to persuade Li Dao, so as to influence the entire Xiliang army group, and avoid the Xiliang army from taking advantage of the battle of Luoyang Shouchun to launch an attack from the west.
……
Wu Yong came to the door, revealed his identity to Jia Xu's slave, and asked to see Jia Xu.
After a long time, the house slave turned back and led Wu to see Jia Xu.
As soon as the two sides met, Wu Yong gave a heavy gift.
Jia Xu was not polite and accepted all the orders.
After the polite words were finished, Jia Xu said: "Mr. Jia Liang came from afar, and Jia should have been demoted to greet him." However, Mr. Jialiang's intention is self-evident. Mr. Jia Liang is a member of the court, if Jia does not help, he is disloyal to the king and unrighteous to the world; If you help each other, you will be disloyal and unrighteous to the childish general. Mr. Jia Liang put Jia in a disloyal and unrighteous situation, and it is difficult for me to do it! ”
This Jia Xu had already expected his purpose for coming. Wu couldn't help but admire in his heart.
However, Wu Yong has the name of "Zhiduoxing", and he has already had words to deal with it in his heart.
"Mr. Wenhe is a wise man, on the one hand, the loyalty of the king, and the righteousness of the world; On the one hand, it is the loyalty of the princes, and the local righteousness; How to choose, how can Mr. Wenhe tell the difference? ”
"Hehe......" Jia Xu smiled and invited Wu Yong to take a seat.
Wu Yong said: "What Mr. Wenhe hesitated about is a wise plan to protect himself, right?" ”
"Hey......
Both of them are extremely intelligent people, and there are some things that need not be said much, they are already clear.
"Wu has been ordered to come, so I can make the decision for my lord, Mr. Wenhe, don't worry."
What Jia Xu wants is Liu Mang's promise. Since Wu Yong agreed, Jia Xu said: "Luoyang and Shouchun, when will the war start?" ”
"Wu is here for this matter. My lord ordered me to ask Mr. Wenhe for advice, when is the auspicious day? ”
Liu Mang's subordinates have a lot of capable people. On a good day and an auspicious day, naturally there is no need to come all the way to ask Jia Xu for advice, this is just a euphemism for Wu.
Of course, Jia Xu understood that Wu Yong was asking about the attitude of the Xiliang Army and how to deal with it.
"Today is an auspicious day, why choose again?"
"Please explain in detail Mr. Wenhe."
Jia Xu smiled slyly: "In the barbaric land of Xiliang, there are only grassland horses. The grass is thick, and the horses forget to return. The grass dies, and the horses naturally have to find another place to feed. ”
"Oh......" Wu Yong nodded.
Both of them are extremely smart people, and what Jia Xu said about "the grass is thick" is just a little dumb riddle. The word "heavy" is added to the prefix, which is the word "Dong", which naturally refers to Dong Zhuo.
As for Ma'er, it means warlords such as Li Dao and Guo Yan.
After all, Jia Xu is the guest of Li Dao's tent, and it is inconvenient to say Li Dao's name clearly, so he uses it as a substitute.
Jia Xu means that Dong Zhuo is still here, and there will be no changes in the Xiliang Army. But if Dong Zhuo dies, warlords such as Li Dao and Guo Yan will be scattered.
At that point, events will be unpredictable.
In a battle with Yuan Shu, it is difficult to fight quickly. Dong Zhuo is seriously injured and may die at any time. If Dong Zhuo dies in the middle of the war, Li Dao and Guo Yan will still be very worried.
Wu Yong asked again: "If the grass dies, how can we prevent the horses from scattering?" ”
"Maton humanity. People are good, so are horses, just do what they like. ”
Wu Yong understood.
got up and wanted to leave, but Jia Xu stopped Wu Yong. "Mr. Gallon has come from afar, don't you want to see someone?" (To be continued.) )
