Chapter 1235: Hope is slim and there are illusions
"Report!"
The scout's shouts were heard from afar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Wei's nephew, riding Du Lieutenant Hu Jin, walked a few steps briskly and went out.
"Silence!" Hu Feng gestured, turned around and pointed to the closed door.
Li Wei is superstitious about the magic of witches and gods, and no one should disturb him when he is divining.
……
Li Dao is not stupid, he has a clear understanding of the situation.
In the previous Yongliang War, there were two major barriers, the Yellow River and Tongguan, and the Xiliang army was still defeated. Now, the Luoyang army has crossed the Yellow River and occupied Tongguan, and the decisive battle has begun, and the Western Liang army has no possibility of victory.
asked Jia Xu for advice, but Li Wei was not satisfied with Jia Xu's answer.
Jia Xu's so-called upper, middle and lower three strategies, in the final analysis, have only one word - run.
Running means giving up everything you have, becoming a thief in the west, and trying to survive.
According to Jia Xu, in this battle, Liu Mang is bound to completely destroy the Xiliang army. The main people of the Xiliang Army have long been included in the eradication list. As the head of the four lieutenants in Dong Zhuo's period, Li Dao was naturally the main target of Liu Mang's liquidation.
Jia Xu said that even if he went west to a foreign land, he would be pursued and suppressed by the Luoyang army. It's not easy to survive. Unless he takes the initiative to give up his soldiers and horses, Liu Mang will not feel any threat.
In other words, it's not that you can run if you want to, and you can't live if you want to. Liu Mang has made up his mind that he will not allow the remnants of the Xiliang Army to wander outside and threaten the safety of Yongliang.
If you don't want to be remembered by Liu Mang, you can only bring fewer people. The fewer people and horses, the safer they are, and they will go to a foreign land and disappear, no longer posing any threat to Yongliang, so that they can survive.
Li Wei believed in Jia Xu. However, Li Wei couldn't accept the suggestion given by Jia Xu.
With only thirty or fifty relatives, he fled to a foreign land, although he could escape the pursuit of the Luoyang army, but his life was still difficult to protect.
Without the army and horses, a small nomadic tribe in the Western Regions can wipe themselves out at any time, so how can Li Dao accept it?
In desperation, Li Dao could only ask the witch god. And the prediction of the witch god is also vague, which makes Li Dao even more difficult.
Human strategies and divine calculations are not helpful, and Li Wei has to take the plan himself.
Jia Xu's suggestion can only be used as a reference.
Li Wei's idea is that he will suffer late if he runs late. As a last resort, Li Dao really didn't want to escape to the deserted Western Regions and become a wandering thief.
can't keep Zuo Fengyi, maybe he can keep the north of Liangzhou. After all, it was Li Dao's hometown.
ordered his son Li Xian and others to transfer valuable property back to his hometown in the north in batches, thinking that he was the way back.
Li Dao remained in Zuo Fengyi for the time being, waiting and watching.
Li Wei never expected the Western Liang army to defeat the Luoyang army. He was looking forward to other turnarounds, such as the Great Rebellion in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or other princes of the Central Plains, and suddenly launching an attack on Liu Mang's territory, which might be able to stumble Liu Mang's westward expedition.
Although it is too slim, Li Dao can only hope for these fantasies......
……
Li Wei walked out of the door, and Hu Jin hurriedly greeted him.
"Uncle, the pack team has been attacked!"
"Huh?! What happened to Siam?! ”
"Siamese Gongzi is unharmed, and most of the goods have been robbed." Li Xian was slightly injured, and Hu Jin didn't tell Li Dao, but he didn't want to block his uncle anymore.
"Oh...... Fortunately......" Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
The loss of a small batch of property is small, but the lives of brothers and nephews are big. In the future, when he fled west, it was impossible to bring more people with him, only these brothers and nephews were the most reliable people.
"Who did it? Yi County? Luoyang? "What Li Dao is most afraid of is the transfer of property, which will be detected by Yang Guang and Li Ru. Secondly, he was afraid that the Luoyang Army would maneuver and cut off the road to the west.
"Neither. The letter of the prince of Siam said that it was a small group of rangers of the Ashina tribe who attacked the pack caravan. ”
"Ashina?!" Li Dao hated and hated.
I think that at the beginning, when Dong Zhuo Niufu was alive, how beautiful the fourth lieutenant of Xiliang was. The tribes of the Western Regions are scrambling to tie themselves up, and the big leader of the Ashina tribe can't wait to kneel in front of him, recognize himself as his father, and be his godson!
And now, the small group of rangers of the Ashina clan even dared to break ground on their heads!
"...... Alas......"
A curse, a sigh, meaningful, helpless, desolate.
Now it is not what it used to be, Yang Guang replaced Dong Zhuo, and the scenery of the fourth lieutenant is long gone. Zhang Ji was killed, and Fan Chou became the scapegoat for the Weishui break. The fourth lieutenant of Xiliang, who once held heavy troops, only Li Dao and Guo Yan remained, and their status was not as good as before.
And after Shi Siming, the leader of the Ashina clan, defected to Yang Guang, his status skyrocketed, and he would no longer shake his head and tail at Li Dao to curry favor and seek favor.
The Ashina clan dared to bully themselves at the door of their homes, but Li Dao could only endure his resentment. Now, the grudge between him and the Ashina clan, Li Dao is powerless and careless, and leaving a way out is the top priority.
"Report!" The scout rushed in, and Hu Jin hurriedly took the letter.
"Uncle, downstream of Weishui, I found the Luoyang Navy boat!"
The corners of Li Wei's eyes twitched rapidly. The Luoyang Army is moving so fast!
The sound of the "report ......" scout came from afar.
"Uncle, Yixian County Emergency Military Order!"
"Say what?"
"Order our army to gather all departments, and the main force will cross Weishui south and assemble at Baling."
Li Wei's face was gloomy, and he turned around and entered the house, and Hu Jin followed.
Li Dao leaned over a few cases and stared at the map.
Yang Guang ordered him to cross Weishui south and assemble at Baling, and his intention was self-evident. Yang Guang was ready to abandon Zuo Fengyi and seek a decisive battle with the Luoyang army on the south bank of Weishui, in the area of Chang'an.
If he was ordered to cross Weishui in the south, there would only be two endings, either Yang Guang confiscated his military power, or he became cannon fodder for a decisive battle.
These two paths are dead ends and must not be taken. However, Li Dao did not dare to openly disobey Yang Guang's orders at present.
After pondering for a moment, Li Dao had an idea.
"Reply to Yixian, saying that Zuo Fengyi's enemy has crossed Luoshui to the west, and it is difficult for our army to withdraw for the time being. After the enemy was repulsed to the east of Luoshui, he was immediately ordered to go south. ”
In the last Yongliang War, Xu Shiji's division of the Luoyang Army broke through the Yellow River defense line and entered Zuo Fengyi. After several battles between the two sides, Li Dao's troops finally kept Suyi, Chongquan and other important places west of Luoshui, and demarcated Luoshui with the Luoyang army, each with one side.
Li Wei's younger brothers, Li Ying and Li Heng, respectively guarded the important towns of Suyi and Chongquan on the west bank of Luoshui.
However, Li Wei knew that even the surging Yellow River could not stop the Luoyang army, and the small Luoshui naturally could not stop the westward advance of the Luoyang army.
If you don't leave, you won't have a chance.
Li Dao waved away the idlers and whispered to Hu Jin: "Send a letter to Li Ying and Li Heng, ordering them to get ready, wait for orders, and retreat west at any time." ”
"No!"
"Also, order Li Jin (Li Dao Congzi) to lead an elite team to move Yunyang!"
Yunyang is a necessary place to retreat from the west to the north, and safety must be ensured.
Hu Jin prepared the order and asked again: "Uncle, is the surname Wen still with you?" ”
"Wen Tianxiang?" Taking Wen Tianxiang as a hostage and wanting to use it as a link and bargaining chip in negotiations with the Luoyang Imperial Court is useless. Li Wei waved his hand impatiently.
Li Wei did not give clear instructions, but Hu Jin knew what to do.
After dealing with a few important tasks, Hu Jin led a few relatives and went straight to the small courtyard where Wen Tianxiang was under house arrest......
