After Yang Feng deceived the hundred officials in Beitou Anyi, Li Dao and Guo Yan found that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for them, the so-called "cooperation is two benefits, and fighting is two injuries", the two no longer care about the slight gains and losses, and immediately exchanged protons and re-formed an alliance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers and horses of the Yulin Army and the captain of the city gate, who were watching from the sidelines, suddenly found that they had made a mistake, and before they could react, they were immediately dumplings by Li and Guo Lianjun. With the exception of a few generals loyal to the Great Han, the rest chose to surrender.

When Li Dao led his troops into Chang'an, he found that he had been calculated by Guo Yan again, and it turned out that Ma Teng Han Sui's Xiliang soldiers and horses had already killed martial arts. If he hadn't proposed an alliance before, it was estimated that Guo Yan would definitely surrender to himself. However, since the alliance has been formed, it is useless to talk too much, and the key now is how to withdraw from the enemy.

Li Dao and Guo Yan decided to retreat to Mahan first, and then march to Hedong. Just when he was preparing to send troops and martial arts, Li Ru, under Li Dao, came out and said, "There is no need for the general to go to this matter in person, and I am willing to persuade Ma Teng and Han Sui to withdraw from the army with a three-inch tongue." ”

When Li Wei heard this, he thought to himself, Ma Teng and Han Sui dared to lead troops to attack, but it was because they thought that Guanzhong was empty. Now that the troops have been united, if Ma Teng and Han Sui are interested, they will definitely withdraw from the army. If Li Ru can say goodbye to the two, it will save a lot of trouble. Then he said to Li Ru: "Since this is the case, then you will set off immediately." This army is ready to be on standby, and if the two of them are stubborn, I and the general of the chariot cavalry will set out to march westward. ”

Li Ru received the military order, took a few escorts, and hurried to Wugong on horseback. In fact, Li Ru's life has been very unsatisfactory in recent years. He was originally the chief strategist of Dong Zhuo's side, and after Dong Zhuo's death, he followed Zhonglang General Niu Fu. Niu Fu was defeated, and he voted for Li Dao under Niu Fu. In the final analysis, it is because he is a literati and can only rely on military generals to succeed.

When Li Dao became a general of the chariot cavalry, he also recommended Li Ru to serve as a waiter, but the always cowardly Emperor Xian was actually stubborn and was not allowed. It was because it was Li Ru who led people to poison the young emperor Liu Wei at the beginning.

Li Ru had no position in the DPRK and China, and he was not allowed to be reused in Li Dao's army. This time, he finally seized the opportunity to persuade Ma Teng Han Sui, in addition to wanting to make meritorious contributions in front of Li Wei, he also wanted to make friends with Ma Han this time, and if possible, grasp a part of the power that he could control.

Li Ru saw Ma Teng and Han Sui when he arrived in Wugong, and explained that Li and Guo had formed an alliance, and now there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, and they can go west at any time. Advise the two not to hit the stone with an egg. At the same time, it also hinted that once the emperor was returned, the two generals Li and Guo would be more authoritative, and if the two voted early, they would definitely be rewarded in the future. Or leave the barren land of Liangzhou and garrison the Central Plains.

Ma Teng and Han Sui asked Li Ru to rest first, and then replied after the two discussed.

Han Sui advocated accepting Li Ru's conditions, but Ma Teng was unwilling, "Just based on Li Ru's few words, will we withdraw from the army?" In order to defeat Chen Cang, there were no fewer casualties among our sons and daughters in Yixian County, and now it's all in vain to withdraw these things? ”

Han Sui said, "What do you want to do if you don't retreat?" As far as our 10,000 or so people are concerned, in the face of Li and Guo's 100,000 combined forces, even if there are no 100,000, there will always be 50,000 or 60,000. It is impossible for us to fight hard with Li and Guo in terms of strength. We not only had to withdraw our troops, but also befriended Li and Guo, and we each transferred 2,000 soldiers and horses from the army to Li and Guo to help him attack Hedong. ”

Ma Teng was even more puzzled when he heard this, "Could it be that Brother Xian is crazy, then I have to fight for Li and Guo?" ”

Han Sui smiled, "As long as you pay, you will definitely be rewarded." Li and Guo Ruosheng, we have done them a great favor, and there will naturally be rewards; If Li Guo is defeated, the men and horses we sent will master the reality of Li and Guo, and when the time comes, we will be in the military pass, plus the soldiers and horses sent as internal responses, we will definitely be able to go down to Chang'an in one fell swoop. Don't look at the fact that we have withdrawn today, but when we come back in the future, we will have to get it back a hundred times. ”

Ma Teng also felt reasonable when he heard it: "It's still the thoughtfulness of the virtuous brother." By the way, Brother Xian, what do you think of Li and Guo's attack on Hedong? Listen to what you mean, or they are more beneficial to us if they lose. ”

Han Sui smiled, "Even if we win a battle, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will lose, Li and Guo are unpopular in Guanzhong, and we will have a chance sooner or later." ”

The two of them had decided to invite Li Ru out, saying that the two of them were willing to withdraw their troops, and at the same time they could send 4,000 soldiers and horses for the two generals Li and Guo to drive. I just hope that I will not forget their benefits in the future, and at the same time propose to go south this time, because Liangzhou suffered a disaster and the grain is not enough. It is hoped that the two generals, Li and Guo, will be able to support some grain and grass.

Li Ruxin said that these conditions can also be agreed. Otherwise, how could these two retreat so easily. What's more, if you get 4,000 soldiers and horses for nothing, it is cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.

Li Ru went back to Chang'an to restore his life. Li Dao and Guo Yan were overjoyed when they heard it. In order to let Ma Teng and Han Sui withdraw from the army as soon as possible, 200,000 stones of grain and grass were transferred from Meiyang to Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The two also kept their promises, leaving Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses each for Li and Guo to drive, and then led the army back to Liangzhou.

Li and Guo were also very happy to see Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying, two young generals, who were full of heroism, and the Xiliang cavalry under their command was not inferior to their own flying bear army and wolf cavalry. The soldiers and horses of the two were arranged into the forward, thinking that they were minions. Li Ru took the opportunity to say to Li Dao that these two people were newly attached, after all, they couldn't be trusted, so it was better to send one person to his army as Sima and secretly monitor the two.

As soon as Li Dao heard the reason, he decided to send Li Ru over, fearing that Li Ru would not be willing, and promised to give Li Ru an official after this victory. It was in Li Ru's arms.

In this way, the army was ready to stop, and the army marched out of Chang'an to the east of the river. According to Li Wei's original suggestion to Li Wei, the army feinted to attack Hongnong, and asked Zhang Ji to lead the troops to pay a return visit. Kasaka can be decided in a battle. But the team was only halfway through when they got the news that Zhang Ji had returned to Hongnong. Moreover, the defenders of Tongguan were twice as many as usual. If you attack Hongnong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a while.

After Li Wei and Guo Yan discussed, he asked his brother Li Wei, Anxi General Yang Ding and others to lead 8,000 troops, known as the banner of 20,000 taxi cavalry general Guo Yan, and marched like Hongnong with great fanfare. At the same time, the Zhonglang who informed the Tun army Huayin took Duan Xuan as support. The momentum must be loud, and the Tongguan defenders must be dragged so that they dare not leave without permission.

Then the two personally led an army of 30,000 into Hedong. Five days later, in Linjin, he joined Zhonglang General Hu Feng, and the two armies merged into one place, with a total of more than 40,000 horses, and calmly went north.

Halfway through, the 3,000 wolf cavalry led by Wu Xi under Guo Yan and the 4,000 Xiliang cavalry of Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying were separated, and they made a detour to Leishou Mountain to the south to attack the enemy garrisoned in Fenglingdu.

On the part of Pusaka, there was a plan to attack the city, and more than 30,000 troops brought enough food, grass and siege equipment to Pusaka step by step.

……………………………………………………………………

Seeing that a major war was inevitable, Tian Jing learned the lesson of the last time and reorganized the personnel of the various schools of the Northern Army. Because Xu Huang transferred a lot of elite soldiers before, this time Li Meng, Wang Fang, and Zhang Bao each added at least six or seven hundred troops to their teams to ensure combat effectiveness. But at the same time, Wu Guoxing, Shi Da and Mao An were also inserted as the deputy generals of the three. Although it is impossible to replace them, at least the soldiers and horses of these three schools will not have the possibility of defecting to the enemy. Tian Jing still let the soldiers and horses of the three schools defend the north gate, the east gate and the south gate.

Then Tian Jing used the 1,000 soldiers and horses left by Zhang Ji as the Chinese army to defend Puban Xicheng; At the same time, Liu Meng was promoted to Sima and directly under his own command.

In addition, the soldiers and horses of Captain Zang Shun of Hu Cai, Captain Changshui and Wu Fang, Captain of Shangjun, were used as reserves to support the cities.

The forces that could be mobilized to defend the city this time were less than 7,000 people, which was much less than the combined forces of Li and Guo. Therefore, the battle of Kasaka only needs to destroy a certain amount of the enemy's living force.

Tian Jing's request for full command to Emperor Xian was questioned by many ministers. Moreover, Tian Jing's strategy is too dangerous, once it fails, Anyi City does not even have the power to protect itself. In the end, Emperor Xian's will was only to agree with Tian Jing to command Yang Fengsuo's troops and the Hedong Commander, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Cavalry Commander. Former general Dong Cheng's soldiers and horses would give Tian Jing support when necessary.

This "necessary time" is equivalent to nothing, and a few days ago, Yang Feng was given a military order to withdraw the soldiers and horses of Fenglingdu and Hebei to the north to set up an ambush. Nor has it been effectively implemented. After all, in Yang Feng's opinion, he is a rear general, and it is a big joke for a small general Zhendong to command himself.

In short, all the things before the war made Tian Jing full of worries about the outcome of this battle.

Since Kasaka Castle will definitely give up. Therefore, Tian Jing had already asked Lu Wen to withdraw to Anyi first with the troops, the people, and Xiaoliu and others. Of course, Lu Wen has other tasks, that is, to join up with Zhao Yan and dig a trench and set up an ambush under Anyi City. The fortifications made by Hu Cai in order to block the northern army that day could be used.

And Xu Huang's three thousand elite soldiers have already been sent, now don't say that the enemy doesn't know where this force is, even Tian Jing doesn't know where they are.

Ancient warfare was not like today, where there were communication tools and could be commanded remotely. Therefore, the strange soldiers sent out, to put it bluntly, are lone troops, and whether they can win by surprise depends on the ability of the commander. This is also the reason why Tian Jing let Xu Huang lead the troops.

In this way, regardless of whether the preparation is sufficient or not, it is still here that it is time to come. The 30,000 troops of Li Dao and Guo Yan came to the city.

The army was encamped twenty miles from the city. Zang Shun proposed to take advantage of the enemy's fatigue and rob the camp at night.

Tian Jing directly denied it. Because they could think of it, it is estimated that Li Dao had already thought of it. So it's better to stick to the city.

At dawn on the second day, Li Wei commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city, and at the same time took out all the ladders, nest cars, crash cars and large shields that had been prepared long ago.

On the one hand, he has a strong family background, and on the other hand, he also wants to break the city in a battle and directly hit the morale of the people in Hedong.

When he was in Youzhou, the Luhe camp clashed with Yan Rou, and Tian Jing learned how to defend the city from Zhao Yun. This time, he commanded the defense, but he was not surprised by the changes. However, even if you are a good commander, the outcome of a battle is ultimately determined by the blood of the soldiers.
