Li Ru didn't understand the meaning of Lu Bu's words, after the battle of Hanyang, although Ma Teng died in the hands of Han Sui, it pushed Ma Chao to the opposite side of Lu Bu, such a fierce general, but he couldn't use it for himself, it was indeed a big pity.

The role that a fierce general can play on the battlefield is huge, not because of how many enemies they can kill on the battlefield because of their martial arts, but because of the influence they bring.

Just like an ordinary general of the Bingzhou Army leading the army to fight on the battlefield and Lu Bu leading the army to fight on the battlefield, it is a completely different concept, the latter can fully mobilize the morale of the soldiers and burst out on the battlefield with strong combat effectiveness.

"I wonder what Wen You thinks of Han Sui?" Lu Bu suddenly asked, after eliminating Ma Chao, Han Sui was entrenched in Liangzhou as a force that should not be underestimated.

Li Ru pondered for a moment and said: "Lord, Han Sui has some means, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, if it can't be used by the lord, it will definitely become a big disaster for the lord to calm Liangzhou, but Han Sui has a very good city, far from being as simple as it seems, although he suffered a lot of losses outside the city, his main force is still there, but he doesn't want to lose too many troops." ”

"When Ma Chao attacked Han Sui's camp at night, I thought Wen You would have already known about it, right?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Li Ru nodded, the ability of the flying eagle soldiers really shocked him, with the help of such soldiers on the battlefield, he would have a more detailed understanding of the enemy's movements, and the secret posts arranged outside the camp could play a role in reminding the army to a certain extent, but they were easy to find and eradicate, but Li Ru did not know the identity of these flying eagle soldiers.

"The lord, in the opinion of his subordinates, should not tear his face with Han Sui at this time, after all, when the princes attacked and merged the state, Han Sui led troops to attack Ma Teng, and relieved the crisis of Chang'an, if it is attacked, it will inevitably have an impact on the lord, although the princes of the world have temporarily stabilized, in time, after the matter of the pot pass, the princes must have taken precautions against the lord, and the lord seized Jizhou by surprise, if it is put at this time to attack Jizhou, it will definitely attract the princes' soldiers and horses." Li Rudao, as a strategist, you must always consider the problem from a more long-term perspective, the princes are very jealous of Lu Bu, the situation at this time, just like the Warring States Period, the princes are afraid of the Qin State, secretly united, no matter which side the Qin State attacks, it will cause the armies of other countries to attack, and the princes will not let the state be so strong.

Although the army of the princes experienced the defeat of Huguan, with the background of the princes, they were able to recover from the defeat quickly, forming a certain deterrent to the state.

Lu Budao: "If Han Sui can really attach himself to Benhou, it will be a big help, but Han Sui's ambition is too great, if it weren't for the Anding County that Wen You secretly occupied, I'm afraid that Anding County is already in his hands at this time." ”

"The lord should secretly make friends with the princes, follow the example of the strong Qin back then, make friends from afar and attack closely, provoke the relationship between the princes, and deal with Han Sui in the future, as long as the lord's strength is enough and only one order is needed, let Han Sui have to go to Jinyang, wouldn't it be simpler to control the soldiers and horses under his command." Li Ru said in a low voice.

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and he immediately sighed: "I'm afraid this matter is extremely difficult, the princes are also full of talents, how can there be no precautions, and Han Sui is not an easy person." ”

Li Ru smiled: "My lord, sometimes, once people are blinded by interests, they will be desperate. ”

After the two discussed for a long time, Li Ru said goodbye and left.

Five days later, a dense thunderbolt was erected outside the county, and this time the attack on the county was to adopt the method of encircling three and missing one, and the soldiers and horses of the three sides each chose a city wall to attack.

Yan County is just a small city, the city is less than four zhang high, the moat is narrow, and it is easy to break, but Ma Chao also has a last resort to defend Yan County, once Yan County gives up and retreats to Di Dao, it means that most of the city in Longxi will be lost, thus losing the time to mobilize grain, grass and soldiers.

Han Sui was in charge of the Chang'an army in the east of the city, there was a huge thunderbolt car, and he was shocked, this thunderbolt car was not easily revealed in front of people before, when the princes attacked Huguan, although he faintly found out some news, it was difficult to get in touch with the secrets of the state.

A thunderbolt car began to attack towards the county, the overwhelming boulders, the suppressed defenders could not raise their heads, at this time the defense in the city of Yanxian can only be regarded as general, the lack of thunderbolts, bed crossbows and other sharp weapons, it is extremely difficult to cause damage to the enemy, originally with Hanyang as the backing, Ma Chao is not so, but the loss of the next distinction is too hasty, and Hanyang for Han Sui, Zhao Yang broke through, Longxi also temporarily lost the source of equipment, although there are many people among the craftsmen who know how to build thunderbolts, in a hurry, Both the quality and power of the Thunderbolt are far from being comparable to the army outside the city.

When he learned the range of the giant thunderbolt, Han Sui's mood could not be calm, from the attack of these thunderbolts, it can be seen that its range is nearly five hundred steps, five hundred steps, what a terrible attack distance, whether this kind of thunderbolt is used to defend the city or to siege the city, it will be invincible, although he covets this kind of thunderbolt, Han Sui understands that it is not easy to get the method of building the giant thunderbolt, and now the princes have not made much progress in the giant thunderbolt, and the state is in the forefront of the princes.

The reason why Lu Bu ordered the army to show the might of the giant thunderbolt was to a certain extent to deter Han Sui, so that Han Sui did not dare to make any changes, and now he did not have more troops and energy to pacify Liangzhou, and after capturing Longxi, the situation would temporarily maintain the current situation.

And after Han Sui occupies the land of the three counties, he will definitely not be reconciled, and once Lu Bu shows his strong strength, it will make Han Sui have more thoughts, of course, Lu Bu is not completely blocking the road of Han Sui's development.

Such as Zhangye County, Jiuquan County, and the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, Han Sui can develop to the west, borrow Han Sui's strength, and eliminate these enemies in the future, which is still extremely good for Lu Bu, but Han Sui's road is destined to be difficult, and the Qiang people now occupy Jiuquan and Zhangye, and it is not easy to drive the Qiang people away.

The princes are eyeing the state, and what Lu Bu wants to eliminate the most is Yuan Shao who is entrenched in Qingzhou, the Yuan family has the name of the fourth and third dukes, and the protégés and officials are all over the world, and the influence of the Yuan family cannot be ignored.
