As Tian Jing expected, Hu Feng saw that Zhang Ji came to aid Puban, but he couldn't win quickly, so he immediately ordered to pull out the camp and raise the village, and retreat to Jin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, he wrote a letter to Li Dao urgently, asking him to decide.

Li Dao has also been very bored these days, Chang'an has been unable to attack for a long time, and he has no weight to offer the emperor. Now the situation is much more sinister than when he and Guo Yan were in charge of the government together. Li Dao now regrets a little that he shouldn't fight with Guo Yan, after all, they are all old brothers from the Liangzhou army, so why bother fighting to the death in order to fight for power and profit.

Just when Li Dao was deep in thought, Hu Feng's military report came. Li Ji opened it and looked, "Zhang Ji led 8,000 soldiers and horses to support Tian Jing, resulting in a great defeat for our army. Please make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Li Wei saw it and threw the military report to the ground, Zhang Ji old horseman, last time he changed the defense and robbed the grain and grass of Yang Feng under my command, of course, Yang Feng was even more hateful, but Zhang Ji was unjust to me first. This time, I will have to make him suffer a little.

Li Dao convened all the generals to discuss the matter, and the generals in the camp were basically his relatives. Li Dao talked about the form of Hedong and the fact that Zhang Ji was his enemy, and asked everyone what to do. Everyone is confused, and there is no good way.

At this time, Li Wei thought for a while and spoke: "Big brother, I know the strength of the Hedong Army best, and the Eighth Colonel of the Northern Army is only 6,000 people. I led the middle base and the shooting sound of the two colonels to the south to throw you in, and now there are fewer soldiers and horses in the north. Moreover, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Zhang Bao and others were originally my old generals in Liangzhou, and if the general personally conquered Hedong, I was afraid that they would immediately defect and surrender. The rest of those who could fight were Tian Jing's direct subordinates, including the battalion of the captain of the Hu cavalry and his reserve white horse retinue, adding up to less than 2,000 people. The rest of the soldiers and horses are all bandits from Hedong, these are the remnants of the White Wave Thieves and Yellow Turbans, even if they gather 18,000 men and horses, they have no combat power. ”

Li Wei paused and continued: "General Hu Feng's defeat this time is mainly because of Zhang Ji's reinforcements. Zhang Ji led 8,000 soldiers, and heard that his nephew Zhang Xiu had been fighting against Liu Biao's troops on the southern front, so he did not have many soldiers and horses in Hongnong. If we send troops to attack Hongnong, Zhang Ji will inevitably return to the division to rescue him, and General Hu Feng, the enemy in Hedong, can solve it alone. ”

Li Dao heard the reason, "If you say something, keep talking." ”

Li Wei continued, "The key now is that if we move, Guo Yan behind us will inevitably attack our army from behind, and I mean make peace with Guo Yan, so that we can worry about the future." ”

As soon as Li Wei's words fell, several of Li Wei's sons and nephews blew up, "I said second uncle, are you old and confused, Guo Yan has something to make peace with him, and you think about it." ”

"That's it, Guo Yan's gang colluded with the Huns, broke through Chiyang, and killed so many of our brothers, how can we make peace?"

"If you want me to say, it's not too late to capture Chang'an first, kill Guo Yan's dog thief, and then attack Hedong."

……

Li Wei saw that this mess was not like words, and shouted, "Shut up!" Let you talk like a stuffy gourd, don't let go of a fart, and now before you say it, you can't control it one by one. I'm in charge here, or you're in charge, and if anyone talks nonsense, get out of here. ”

Li Dao looked at everyone, no one dared to be presumptuous, and then said to everyone, "I think the second brother is reasonable, and if we fight with Guo Yan again, it will only be a lose-lose situation." Let Tian Jing's kid be big in vain, and let Liu Xie's doll look at my jokes. I have made up my mind, withdraw my troops, and negotiate peace with Guo Yan as soon as possible. ”

Li Wei asked Li Dao, "Big brother doesn't know who to send?" ”

Li Wei looked at it and said, "The idea is what you think, other people are afraid that they won't be able to do this, you just have to go, I don't think he Guo Yan will dare to do anything to you." Now although he occupies Chang'an, without the support of the Xiongnu, his strength is still below us. Now that the Son of Heaven has written a message, I think he is more anxious to make peace than we are. ”

Levi listened, "Exactly. Then I'll pack my bags and I'll go. ”

Guo Yan has had a headache recently, and he didn't take the emperor's text seriously at all. Li Dao wants to fight hard with him, then there is only a lose-lose situation, he is not so stupid, Li Dao will not kill so much, the so-called crusade is just a pretext to obtain benefits. Since Zhu Jun's death, the Yulin Army and the soldiers and horses of the captain of the city gate on the edge of Chang'an have retreated for hundreds of miles to preserve their strength, and they simply want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. And the princes of Shandong are far away outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and even if they want to come, Li Dao will bear the brunt.

So Guo Yan originally felt that he had nothing to worry about.

But things have changed subtly, that is, Ma Teng Han, who was far away in Liangzhou, in the name of responding to the emperor's inscription, marched to the right to support the wind, and now he has laid down Chencang and is marching to Yixian. In fact, Ma Teng and Han Sui were Guo Yan's old rivals, when Li and Guo Gang were in power, the two had joined forces to attack Chang'an, and later retreated to Liangzhou in defeat. This time, he saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he led his troops to pick up the bargain. If it was placed in the past, Guo Yan might not be afraid of these two people, but now, there is Li Wei in front and Ma Teng and Han Sui in the back, which is difficult to say.

When Guo Yan's soldiers and horses were at their worst, there were 30,000 soldiers and horses, second only to Li Wei's 40,000 horses, but he only defended the right Fufeng County, and the soldiers and horses were also abundant. But now most of his soldiers and horses have been restrained in Chang'an City, plus those who died in battle and fled, and now from Yixian County to Meiyang, Wugong, and Huaili counties, the defenders in each county do not exceed 2,000 people.

Ma Teng and Han Sui each led 5,000 cavalry from their headquarters to attack, but they were afraid that the right side would be in danger. Now only I know this news, if I let other people in Chang'an City know this news, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Guo Yan thought of various possible endings, and even gave up Chang'an and retired to Liangzhou. But the current Liangzhou is not what it used to be, and there are no less than ten separatist forces in Liangzhou now, Ma Teng and Han Sui are the most powerful among them, and the strength of the other departments should not be underestimated if they are united.

Do you really want to surrender that guy Li Dao? Since Dong Zhuo's death, this person has pressed me everywhere, and has repeatedly wanted my life, if he is demoted, how can he die well? Just when Guo Yan was worried about his future, he heard a report from the soldiers outside, and Li Wei, the younger brother of Li Wei, came to ask for a meeting, saying that there was a letter from Li Dao to meet General Chen Cheqi.

Guo Yanxin said, I don't know what medicine Li Dao sells in his bones. "Let him go into the city, I'll meet this Levi."

After a while, Li Wei came in to see Guo Yan, presented the letter, and explained the intention at the same time: "The soldiers and horses under the command of the general and the general of the chariot cavalry turned out to be of the same line in Liangzhou, and they should have supported each other, so as not to affect the overall situation because of small gaps. Now the general hopes to be able to strike the army with the general of the chariot and cavalry, and shake hands and make peace. Past grievances are written off, and neither party can mention them again. I don't know what the general thinks? ”

Guo Yan didn't make a sound after listening to Li Wei's words, opened Li Wei's letter and read it again, before believing that the other party really wanted to make peace. Guo Yan didn't know that this opportunity was rare, and now Li Wei didn't know about the situation of Youfufeng, if he knew about it, he was afraid that he wouldn't have any chance. However, the most important thing in negotiation is to calm down, and once the other party discovers his hole cards, it will be difficult to get the desired benefits.

So Guo Yan acted very indifferently, put the letter on the table casually, and said peace, yes, I didn't know that the general might agree to the conditions I had put forward in Chang'an City before. If we can, then we will make peace immediately.

Li Weixin said that this Guo Yan understands that he doesn't want to talk about it, what are the previous conditions, Li Wei will withdraw from the army, Chang'an will be returned to Guo Yan, and the places west of Chang'an in Jingzhao and Right Fengyi will be allocated to Guo Yan, if so, what else will we talk about. Li Wei smiled: "The general of the chariot cavalry said that it was a joke, the two armies are not both fighting for the place of the Han Dynasty, and now to talk about peace, it is natural to welcome the emperor and manage Chang'an together, and the general and the general chariot will govern the world together." As for the conflict of interests, it is not all trivial, and when the time comes, the general of the chariot and the general of my family can discuss it. ”

Guo Yan smiled, "You are very good at talking, if Li Dao can speak like you, I don't have to use a knife or a gun with him that day." But I heard something else from your words, isn't it that the general was deflated in Hedong, and he couldn't beat Tian Jing's doll before he came to make peace with me. ”

Li Wei didn't expect Guo Yan to react so quickly, and hurriedly said: "The general of the Che Cavalry said that it was funny, it was very easy to break through Hedong and welcome back Emperor Xian. The problem is that where to pick up Emperor Xian is a problem. If the general of the chariot is willing to make peace with the general of my family, and agrees to take the emperor into Chang'an, the two generals will work together to correct the axe, as for the conditions, they can be discussed. ”

Guo Yan stared at Li Wei with his eyes, and suddenly said for a long time, "You really don't look like Li Wei at all, haha, haha." In this way, tell Li Dao that if he can't negotiate peace, the two sides will take the son as a hostage, and if he agrees, then we will sit down and discuss how to take charge of the government together, if Li Dao is not sincere, then forget it. Ahem, I'm tired too, I won't leave the general to eat here, send off guests! ”

Li Wei never thought that Guo Yan would treat him like this, and he had no choice but to go back to his life.

After Li Wei left, Guo Yan touched the back of his head, but he was sweating, and said that acting is not easy to do. Now we must prepare in advance, and the news of the right Fufeng is tightly sealed to Chang'an and Li Dao.

When Li Wei left Chang'an City, Yang Feng, who had just taken refuge in Guo Yan, happened to meet him. Yang Feng hurriedly hid to the side to prevent Levi from seeing him. After going back, Yang Feng felt restless and always felt that something had happened.

What is Li Wei doing in Chang'an, Guo Yan also met him in person, is it to exchange for Li Xian?

Could it be that these two are going to form an alliance? Probably not! Probably not! They all tore their faces, and they beat each other inextricably. How can an alliance be formed?

But what if?

Yang Feng tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. When he woke up the next day, he asked the people around him to quietly inquire about the news to see if there was any rumor.

As a result, the people he sent out came back to report that the guards in Chang'an City had been much stricter than before. And Guo Yan seemed to be hiding some news, and when his people secretly investigated, they found that the people around Guo Yan were secretive one by one.

At this moment, a pro-soldier recklessly barged in, "I found out, I found out." "When I came in, I saw Guo Yan and hurriedly saluted.

Guo Yan motioned to him not to be in a hurry and spoke slowly.

The pro-soldier hurriedly returned, "General, I got information from a fellow villager that Ma Teng Hansui's cavalry has conquered Yixian. Now Guo Yan's situation is very dangerous. ”

When Yang Feng heard this, the cup in his hand fell to the ground. thought: Yes, Guo Yan seems to have formed an alliance with Li Dao. Now he is in a position where he is in the back of the enemy, and if he does not form an alliance or surrender, then he has no chance. But what about himself, he just betrayed Li Dao to vote, and he also arrested Li Dao's nephew, he is looking for death. One of the conditions for the peace talks between Guo Yan and Li Wei is likely to be to sacrifice their heads.

No, I have to think of some countermeasures sooner, but I can't sit idly by.
