Chapter 130: Li Dao escaped
The news that Longxi City was safe and sound soon spread to the Xinhan army camp in front of Tianshui City.
It was a happy Ma Teng who personally sent the news from Jicheng.
Originally, Wang Yi found out the information about Zhong Xuan's conversation with Li Wei from Tianshui City, which made Ma Teng nervous for a while, for fear that Longxi City would be captured by Han Sui. Even, even Liu Yi was a little worried that the princes of Xiliang would form an alliance to attack him under the mediation of Zhong Xuan, a famous man.
However, now that the rain has passed, the things that Zhong Xuan and Li Wei conspired against have not been able to develop as they wished. This made the plan of the New Han Army to capture Xiliang in the future much easier.
Of course, after the original successive defeats of Ma Chaojun, and the recent opening of the passage from Tianshui to Chencang Pass, the casualties of his subordinate sergeants were relatively large, which was a loss for the New Han Army. However, Ma Chaojun's loss was worth it. Because from now on, Liu Yi didn't think that there was anything else in Xiliang that could stop his military horses from recovering Xiliang.
Now, all Liu Yi needs to do is prepare to attack Tianshui City and destroy Li Dao.
As long as Li Dao is destroyed and Tianshui City is completely controlled in his own hands, then, from Longxi to Tianshui to Chang'an, it will be the sphere of influence of the New Han Dynasty, and the New Han Army can travel between Xiliang and Chang'an at any time. In other words, when Liu Yi wants to recover Xiliang, he can really do it when he can recover Xiliang.
After taking Tianshui, Longxi is in his hands again, so Liu Yi's coming to Xiliang can also be regarded as over, especially the key is that Wang Yi, a woman, has been included in the account, in Xiliang. It is estimated that there is nothing to do with Liu Yi.
However, Liu Yi knew that it was for the New Han Army to defeat Xiliang. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, but I'm afraid it won't be too easy to govern in the future.
Xiliang has been in turmoil for too long, and after the chaos, it will be ruled greatly. In particular, the terrain of Xiliang is complex and the personnel are complex, so we want to manage Xiliang well and let the people of Xiliang really live a good life. I'm afraid it's hard to do it in a few years.
After capturing Tianshui City and destroying Li Wei, Liu Yi planned to leave Jia Xu in Xiliang to coordinate the overall situation, and let Ma Teng and his son. Pang De, Li Ru, Hao Zhao and others are supplemented. Of course, like Hua Xiong and Xu Rong, they also have to stay in Xiliang to command the army, and let them directly obey Ma Chao's orders. Militarily. Ma Chao is in charge.
Liu Yi is still more optimistic about Ma Chao, and he also hopes that this disciple can break through the martial arts and become a real super general, and in terms of commanding the army, he hopes that Ma Chao can also compete with Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and other generals.
Let Ma Chao toss in Xiliang, and Liu Yi also has the intention of sharpening Ma Chao.
However, for the time being, Liu Yi has not informed the people below of such a plan. It's better to wait until Tianshui City is taken.
In fact, three days have passed now.
The military horse of the New Han Army. Under the leadership of Huangfu Song and Li Ru, they have successively driven to the front of Tianshui City, plus the two soldiers and horses brought by Huaxiong and Xu Rong to Longxi, the total strength of the New Han Army to Xiliang has reached more than 100,000 military horses, plus tens of thousands of horses from Ma Chao's army, the total strength has almost reached 200,000 horses.
In addition, there is also a logistics baggage team, which also successively sent some heavy ordnance from Chencang Pass to Xilianglai.
Such as siege machines, trebuchets, bed crossbows, and so on.
As soon as these siege equipment arrived, they began to be erected, putting on a posture that they could storm Tianshui City at any time, forming an invisible oppressive force on Tianshui City.
At dusk that day, dark clouds covered the top.
Li Wei invited Zhong Xuan to the top of the city, and watched him renovate the appearance of the Han army and the heavy siege equipment such as trebuchets that had put an invisible pressure on them.
However, Li Dao didn't dare to take his head, but led Zhong Miao to observe secretly.
There is no way, these days, the New Han Army will send some marksmen every day to shoot and kill the soldiers they dare to take the lead. Li Daojun was scared, Li Dao had also seen the power of those marksmen, and he didn't want to become the rake of the generals of the New Han Army under the city.
Li Wei pointed to the Xinhan army under the city and said, "Mr. Zhong, do you see it?" This is the Xinhan Army, do you think Li can really fight with them? You can withdraw with Li tonight, Tianshui City can't hold it. Han Sui actually withdrew to Jincheng, and Guo Yan definitely didn't dare to send troops to help. You go with Li, maybe there is a little chance, I believe that with your reputation, Mr., you can persuade the princes to form an alliance, Li has nothing else to ask for, I only hope that Mr. Zhong You can regard Li as Cao Chen, and in the future, you can say a few good words for Li in front of Cao Gong, so Li is grateful. ”
The three days had arrived, and Li Wei was very glad that the Xinhan army had not attacked Tianshui City during these three days, which made him finally survive in fear.
All hope was dashed, and Li Dao was also single, and decided to flee no matter what. He didn't want to be attacked by the New Han Army and run away, let alone be chased by the New Han Army, even if he fled, he wanted to take the initiative and preserve a little bit of his strength as much as possible.
Now, the Xinhan army is ready to attack the city, and if he doesn't leave at this time, he is really worried that he won't have a chance to go again.
However, he temporarily felt that if he could leave with Zhong Xuan, he might not lose everything. At least, with Zhong Xuan here, he, a person who has submitted to Cao Cao, can do some work under the banner of Cao Cao's minister. Let Guo Yan not dare to take him lightly. With Zhong Xuan maneuvering around, his life may be a little better. Or, now, he can escape directly to Jincheng with Zhong Xuan and join Han Sui's army. As long as he arrives in Jincheng, he and Han Sui have the same status.
At the same time, Li Wei didn't look down on Han Sui very much, he felt in his heart that as long as he arrived in Jincheng, he might not have no chance, as long as he replaced Han Sui and took control of Jincheng, he might not be a good man.
Therefore, he originally planned to escape with his elite, but at this moment, he wanted to persuade Zhong Xuan to escape with him.
Outside the city, the barracks of the New Han Army stretched as far as the eye could see, and some of the New Han Army formed a formation under the city to show off their might.
At this moment, Zhong Xuan was indeed a little shocked by the heyday of the New Han Army. I secretly sighed in my heart that the New Han Army really lived up to its reputation. When looking at the military appearance of the New Han Army, it is not comparable to Li Daojun.
In the final analysis, Zhong Xuan is also a little frustrated and desperate now, he thinks that under his own strategy, he will make a difference in Xiliang, but in the end, he has achieved nothing.
The New Han Army has already entered Xiliang, and it is no longer meaningful for him to think about defending Tianshui at this moment. Even if you keep Tianshui, what can you do? Can it stop the pace of the New Han Army entering Xiliang?
No!
This time, Zhong Xuan didn't say anything more, nodded silently in agreement, and agreed to escape from Tianshui City with Li Dao.
That night, Li Dao, who had already been ready to escape, quietly escorted Zhong Miao out of Tianshui City. (To be continued......)
