The atmosphere in Yuzhong immediately became tense, and all this came so suddenly that Xu Rong was unprepared.

He originally thought that Ma Bin would never send troops to attack him, but all this in front of him proved that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

The battle reports were constantly sent to Xu Rong and to Chang'an.

Ma Bin personally led the most elite soldiers and horses under his command, the tiger and leopard, to ride out of the plank road crossing and march all the way north, directly tearing the connection between Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo completely.

And Han Zhong led the men and horses of Dasanguan to rush all the way and directly take Anding County, and within a few days, a large area east of Changli River and west of Yinmi was owned by Ma Bin.

After capturing this large area, Han Zhong sent half of his men and horses to support Ma Bin according to the previous deployment, while the other half of the men and horses continued to advance westward.

Almost at the same time as Ma Bin and Han Zhong sent troops, Yan Yan and Zhao Ang also led their men and horses to the north to harvest, so not long after Han Zhong advanced westward with his army, the two armies merged together, completely blocking Xu Rong's retreat.

A series of drastic changes directly made Chang'an shake.

This Ma Bin actually took a large area west of Yinmi in the blink of an eye, Chang'an is close at hand, if he goes all the way east, Dong Zhuo may have to face the danger of moving the capital.

However, things are not as bad as Dong Zhuo imagined, at least not so bad for the time being.

As early as when Xu Rong was advancing eastward, Li Ru suggested that Dong Zhuo deliberately let Zhang Ji take 5,000 men and horses to guard the Wugong area in order to prevent Hanzhong men and horses from suddenly attacking Xu Rong's grain and grass from the plank road entrance or the inclined valley.

To a certain extent, this team can be regarded as a great help to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo continued to advance eastward in order to prevent Ma Bin, on the one hand, he sent Lu Bu to lead 10,000 horses directly to aid Xu Rong, and on the other hand, he asked Fan Chou to take 10,000 horses to help Zhang Ji defend Ma Bin.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xu Rong has no way out at all.

Although Dong Zhuo verbally said that he would let Lu Bu lead troops to help, the west of Yinmi is now in Ma Bin's hands. Lu Bu was not defeated by Ma Bin, could it be that he flew over to help Xu Rong? In fact, this statement is just a disguised comfort for Xu Rong and his people.

So calculated in this way, the total of 25,000 people in the three-way army of Lu Bu, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou was actually all attacking Ma Bin.

This was expected by Ma Bin, Ma Bin had a total of about 18,000 men and horses, and he did not have any advantage in terms of numbers against 25,000 men and horses. But he felt that it was okay to resist for a while.

As long as Wang Meng and Yan Yan's army can destroy Xu Rong's army as soon as possible, everything will seem very simple.

"Didn't you say that Ma Bin categorically wouldn't send troops?"

He almost vomited blood in anger above the court, and after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything that Dong Zhuo could touch, he smashed it all over the place.

Li Ru knelt on the ground and watched all kinds of rare treasures bloom on the ground, and he didn't even dare to breathe for a while.

Naturally, he couldn't shirk his responsibility at all, he did think that Ma Bin might suddenly send troops, but when Xu Rong was marching forward, when Ma Bin announced that he was going to attack Liu Zhang in front of all the princes in the world. But he was confused.

He believes in Xu Rong too much!

In the past, Xu Rong lost power, and he never treated him very well. But this time, after suddenly seeing that although he was not as brave as Lu Bu, but his wisdom was far above Lu Bu, he suddenly felt that he should do something.

What should be done?

The rest is very simple for people like him, it is nothing more than playing tricks to say good things in front of Dong Zhuo.

And Xu Rong is indeed shrewd, but whenever there is a major decision in the army, he often tells Dong Zhuo and at the same time will also let people tell Li Ru in the form of a private message.

Usually, a lot of news about the westward march of the Great Army. Li Ru knew earlier than Dong Zhuo. And it also gave him more time to react.

Some strategies Xu Rong will mention in the letter, intentionally or unintentionally. And that Dong Zhuo would first ask Li Ru what his opinion was, and then say what Xu Rong was going to do. This back and forth, Xu Rong helped Li Ru regain the favor that was gradually lost in Dong Zhuo.

His power also swelled rapidly with Xu Rong's westward expedition.

From this level, Li Ru is very grateful to Xu Rong.

But what he feared most happened happened! Ma Bin still came very shamelessly and made a move. And this trick makes people have little room for reaction at all.

"On weekdays, why don't you talk now?"

After dropping a lot of things in one go, Dong Zhuo's mood calmed down a little.

He knew that if he wanted to continue to look at the world, he still needed to rely on the kneeling man in front of him.

Li Ru raised his head tremblingly. First talked about his sins, of course, Dong Zhuo was not in any mood to listen to him say this now, when he chattered a few words, Dong Zhuo waved his robe and said, "Enough!" Tell me what to do next! Is it possible to let the original phase continue to move? I have already made the world laugh a little bit before, do you want to make the world laugh now? ”

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Now the far water can't dissolve the near fire." Just in case, I had to transfer some people guarding Chang'an to assist General Lu and the others! ”

"Didn't Benxiang already send 20,000 horses? Isn't that enough? ”

Li Ru said: "According to the report of the spies, Ma Bin now has 18,000 men and horses under his command, and his most elite men and horses are also included in them!" This number of words is only temporary, in case General Xu has any accidents in Yuzhong, I am afraid that there will be more people and horses who will be pressed over! ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he unconsciously took a few steps back: "Can't 20,000 people quickly destroy Ma Bin's men and horses?" ”

This is equivalent to asking knowingly.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru both knew in their hearts that Ma Bin had been recuperating for nearly a year, and the combat power of the men and horses under his command was no longer comparable to the past! And Lu Bu has almost never won in the battle with Ma Bin, and from this level, Li Ru's move is also to ensure that nothing goes wrong!

After thinking for a while, Dong Zhuo said: "How many people can be transferred around Chang'an now?" ”

Li Ru said: "In the past year, we have recruited a large number of people, and for the time being, we can transfer 20,000 people to help!" In addition, let the princes of the world help! ”

"The princes of the world help each other? Joke! What a joke! Then Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are waiting for this day! It would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to sneak attack Chang'an! Does the prime minister still count on them? ”

Li Ru said: "Now there are still some princes who listen to Dong Xiang's orders, such as Zhang Yang, who is too guarded by the party, and he has 10,000 horses under his command. And they're all good fighters! He has always been friendly with General Lu, and he has a grudge against Ma Bin, let him send troops at this time, he will definitely gladly accept the order! ”

Hearing Li Ru say this, Dong Zhuo said: "This matter will be handed over to you!" But beware of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others! ”

Li Ru said: "Please rest assured that the men and horses left in the east of Chang'an are enough to fight against Yuan Shao's army!" And now the situation is not clear. Then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will definitely not send troops easily! ”

Dong Zhuo nodded and said, "Are there any other strategies besides these?" ”

Li Ru said: "If Dong Ye can promise Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu benefits in the name of the world, the two of them will inevitably work harder!" ”

"More desperate? What does Sir mean that the two of them will definitely send troops to attack Hanzhong? ”

Li Ru said: "According to the report of the spies, the generals under Ma Bin, who are currently fighting in Yongliang, are the only ones who lack Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Yin Feng!" This is obvious, they should be guarding against Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu on the southern front! And that Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have been bullying for a long time, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they will inevitably join forces to send troops to deal with Ma Bin! ”

"Joining forces? As far as Benxiang knows, that Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are already on the same page, and it is even more difficult to let the two of them join forces than to ascend to the sky! ”

Looking at Dong Zhuo's surprised expression, Li Ru smiled and said, "If there is no Meng Da, Yan Pu and others. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang may not join forces! But with such powerful characters as them, it is inevitable that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu will continue to join forces! What Dong Xiang has to do is to give them a name to crusade against Ma Bin, and give it to them in the name of the Son of Heaven, and promise to seal a marquis or something, so that the two of them will be pulled to Dong Xiang's side, and let them and Dong Xiang deal with Ma Bin together! ”

Hearing Li Ru say this, Dong Zhuo suddenly realized. He immediately said to Li Ru: "Immediately draft the holy decree and let people quickly bring it to Yizhou and Padang!" There were two of them disturbing Ma Bin on the southern front. I want to see how long Ma Bin can last! ”

Li Ru knew that the current situation was critical, and he had only thought of so many strategies for the time being, so after he saw that Dong Zhuo's face was a little better, he hurriedly said goodbye to Dong Zhuo to deal with the matter at hand!

In Yuzhong City, Xu Rong has no intention of escaping for the time being, in fact, he has no way to escape.

Wang Meng's army moved extremely fast. It didn't take a few days to surround Yuzhong, and Yan Yan's army was rushing towards Yuzhong.

Of course, there is also a place that no one notices, that is, Pan Long led 5,000 men and horses out of Yuzhong City in the middle of the night before Wang Meng surrounded Yuzhong.

This is a special arrangement by Xu Rong, and he also hopes that Pan Long may have a chance to survive as long as they can hold on for one more day.

Ma Teng, who was defeated all the way, originally thought that he would be beaten like a lost dog again. But what he never expected was that Ma Bin's men suddenly appeared.

This caused a lot of discussion in the Ma Teng camp.

According to Pang De's meaning, now is to quickly rectify the remnants of the army, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait and see the changes.

And according to Ma Bin and Ma Dai's meaning, after Ma Bin destroyed Xu Rong, he would definitely continue to attack them westward, so they had to give Ma Bin a knife from the back of Ma Bin's army at this time.

Ma Teng was also hesitant for a while.

The ups and downs in just one or two years have completely made him careless about anything, especially when it comes to Ma Bin.

Just as he was about to send troops to attack Ma Bin, Qianghu's 100,000 army met the attack, no matter how stupid Ma Teng was, he also knew that Ma Bin was secretly making trouble!

He was ruthless, eager to eat his bones and drink his blood.

But an extremely cruel fact is also in front of him, and it is still a question whether he can escape the catastrophe in front of him...... (To be continued......)
