Chapter 461: The thief has a respite and miscarriage
At the beginning, the persuasion of the Xiliang soldiers was to create a huge deterrent to Dong Zhuo. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and now that the soldiers have returned to Jianzhou, if they do not leave the Xiliang soldiers in Sili, they will also be dismissed as people with poor quality. After careful study, leaving part of the Xiliang army behind not only solved the burden along the way, but also increased Cao Cao's strength, which was also a win-win strategy.
Major strategic readjustments should be carried out as soon as possible. The soldiers were carefully selected here, and that side had already been brought to Hangu Pass by Huaxiong, and Sun Zhao, as a messenger, hurried to Dongjun.
In the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao repeatedly suggested that he march into Luoyang, and later actively pursued Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shao ignored them. And Li Yi's own way of doing his own thing, and finally beat Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao understood a profound truth, strength is a strong guarantee of decision-making power.
Seeing that Sun Zhao was sending an envoy to Dongjun, Cao Cao knew that Li Yi had nothing to do and would not go to the Three Treasures Palace, and sure enough, Li Yi wanted to send him out of Hongnong County. Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, which was tantamount to a big cake falling from the sky.
But while rejoicing, Cao Cao fell into deep thought. Li Yi beat Dong Zhuo to the wind, but how could his own strength be compared to him?
Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were expanded to 20,000, and the generals were banned, especially Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu and other capable people with lofty ideals came to visit, which made Cao Cao's camp shine.
In the forbidden word text, Taishan Juping is a rare good general. Xi Zhicai is famous and loyal, the word Zhicai, a native of Yingchuan County in the Eastern Han Dynasty; Cheng Yuzi Zhongde, a native of Dong'a, East County, Yanzhou. Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai's abilities are no less than Xun Yu's, and all three of them are capable of seeking the country.
The strength is not what it used to be, but the division of troops to the west is based on Dong Zhuo, and he needs to extricate himself from the Central Plains, so Cao Cao is powerless. Seeing Cao Cao's hesitation, Sun Zhao smiled slightly and said: "Cao Gong don't have to look ahead, I don't have enough food and grass to support 60,000 soldiers and horses, and I can divide 20,000 troops and Gong, which can help Cao Gong guard Hongnong and reduce the burden on our army!" ”
Cao Cao twisted his beard with his hand and said with a slight smile: "Qing Gang gave me a county of land, and generously helped me with 20,000 male soldiers, Cao Cao is ashamed." If there is no merit, I will do everything I have and give out 200,000 grains and grass to show Cao Cao's heart! ”
Sun Zhao's mission was successfully completed, and he was ready to return to Guanzhong. Cao Cao sent Xi Zhicai to go with him to thank Li Yi for his great help.
Xi Zhicai and Sun Zhao talked and laughed, talked very speculatively, and arrived in Huayin within a day. Li Yi had already received a report from Pegasus, and knowing that Cao Mengde gladly accepted it, he fell to the ground with a stone, and put his mind at ease to prepare for the return trip.
had to report that Sun Zhao and Xi Zhicai arrived, Li Yi and others went out of the city to greet them, and the two sides exchanged a few polite words, and then accompanied Xi Zhicai into Huayin.
The host and I sat down, and the two sides had a warm conversation. Xi Zhicai is a rare talent, but because of his untimely death, he did not establish great achievements, Zhang Ying had the heart to try, so he smiled slightly and said: "A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, Dong Zhuowen has Li Wenyou, Wu has Lu Fengxian, and the power of the Son of Heaven is coerced, and the princes dare not compete with it." Brother Zhicai is in the middle of the gate, can there be a good plan for the thief? ”
Xi Zhicai smiled slightly: "Lu Bu is a puppet, Li Ruqian has poor donkey skills, Dong Zhuo loses the hearts of the people, and loses his morality, which is the target of the public, and he is not to be afraid." As long as Zhang Ji and Liu Biao are connected in the south, and Yu Fuluo is in the north, echoing with Ma Teng's east and west, Dong thief is not afraid! ”
Zhang Ying said in her heart: This is my strategy, you can learn so fast that you have come to accept all the orders. If this mature strategic plan can really be implemented, it will be enough to put Dong Zhuo in the west of Tongguan.
After observing the words and expressions, Yu Bing found that there was a difference in the complexion between Xi Zhicai's eyebrows, so he offered to take his pulse. Sure enough, after Yu Bing's diagnosis, she frowned. Li Yi saw her expression, and the illness obtained by Xi Zhicai must not be easy to treat, so he asked with his eyes. Yu Bing saw that Li Yi was curious, so he intentionally or unintentionally touched his liver with his hand.
Li Yi is a complete layman in medicine, he only knows that the mildest liver disease is probably fatty liver, as long as he exercises properly to consume the excess fat in his body, the disease will improve. What is worse than fatty liver is all kinds of hepatitis, and in Li Yi's impression, except for hepatitis A, the rest cannot be cured, but can only slow down the development of the disease. And no matter how serious it is, it is liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and when it comes to these two stages, people don't have much to live. Judging from Yu Bing's expression, Xi Zhicai is also the lightest and recalcitrant hepatitis.
Yu Bing can only confirm that Xi Zhi has a serious liver disease, but from his speech and demeanor, it has not developed to the extent of incurability. For liver disease, Chinese medicine has no good treatment, Yu Bing just prescribed a pair of medicine for him to nourish the liver, and specially instructed: "Zhicai must not drink and drink greedily, take a proper rest, pay attention to a light diet, eat some animal liver appropriately, and keep your mood comfortable!" Zhicai can do what I say, and it is more effective than taking medicinal stones! ”
Xi Zhicai felt that his liver was sick, and when he saw Yu Bing's solemn expression, he didn't dare to disbelieve it, and followed Yu Bing's words to recuperate, delaying the development of his liver disease and prolonging his life for more than ten years.
The major event has been decided, Li Yi adjusted the strategic policy, transferred Zhao Yun to lead the army to retreat to Hongnong, Huayin and Tongguan only left 10,000 generals, temporarily led by Li Yi, Yu Bing, and Zhang Ying. Due to the sudden drop in troops, the reconnaissance force dispatched to cover a farther range in order to detect and defend against the enemy as soon as possible.
Li Yi withdrew his troops and horses step by step, although it was carried out very secretively, but such a large-scale operation could not escape Dong Zhuo's eyes. Especially when he learned that Xi Zhicai had arrived in Huayin and determined that Cao Cao was going to take over Hongnong County, Dong Zhuo was so angry that he gritted his teeth, he was furious with thunder, and roared to take advantage of Li Yi's empty troops to recapture Huayin and Tongguan.
Li Rujin said: "Although Li Yi's army has withdrawn to Hongnong, it is only a day's journey from Huayin, if our army can not conquer the city one day, won't there be no return?" ”
Li Yi's soldiers are so elite, not to mention holding on for one day, even if it is three or five days, it will be difficult to overcome the city, Dong Zhuo knows that it is unshakable, so he has to hate and give up.
However, since Li Yi ran in the rain, Chang'an City gradually returned to normal, especially when he learned that Li Yi's return to the east was imminent, Cao Cao's westward advance was a foregone conclusion, and Chang'an City's vigilance was also relaxed.
Finding that Chang'an City was negligent in taking precautions, a bold idea emerged in Li Yi's mind. He thought about it for a long time, and first called Zhao Yun's two cousins, Zhao Hu and Zhao Tie, and then summoned Wang Lin, who had just defected to Li Yi's account.
Who is Wang Lin? He, the son of the third king. When Li Yi assassinated Liu Hong, Wang San was kind to him, and it can be said that he was a friend who shared the hardships and experienced that shocking scene together. But because of this, his friends were affected, and Zhang Er's whole family was beheaded, causing Wang San to be angry and feel ashamed of his brother, so he was depressed and died a year later.
