If Li Ru represents a highly venomous cobra, then his characteristics are very in line with the temperament of a poisonous snake. But sometimes he is more radical in his thinking, and he lacks a sense of the big picture, just as a cobra relies on poison to perceive its prey, rather than seeing it with its eyes; Mao Jue and Mao Xiaoxian are a ploughing cow, loyal, persevering, hard-working, and have a good view of the overall situation, but their thinking is sometimes a little dull, and they are not the kind of scheming people, and he is also better at internal affairs; Xi Zhicai is not good to evaluate, on the overall situation, he is very good, on the decision before the battle, he is still very good, on internal affairs, he is not bad, the only thing he lacks is a good body, and a good identity! He is a majestic sick tiger, even if he lies on the ground, he is still not to be underestimated!

As for Li Kai, he defines himself as a chameleon, who changes his position and actions according to changes in the environment to protect himself, he is an insecure person!

None of this matters, the person Li Dao and Guo Yan met on the way to escape is the most powerful person! Not only in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but even throughout Chinese history, it is rare to find people who can take the creed of the strategist to the extreme!

He is Jia Xu! It's a vulture soaring through the sky! Hovering over the bones of the corpses! In his early years, he was behind a murderous robber, and he seemed to be a kind scribe, who committed heinous crimes while successfully evading the accusations of thousands of people.

Li Dao and Guo Yan found their backbone from the beginning, and under the guidance of Jia Xu, they began to gather the soldiers and horses who fled like him, and soon gathered 100,000 people! Don't think that there are a lot of soldiers and horses, this can only be ranked second among the various forces in Chang'an!

In addition to some of the soldiers and horses lost in the Battle of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo also had an army of 250,000 or 60,000 when he was in Luoyang! And at that time, Niu Fu stationed in the Hedong area still had an army of 120,000! When he arrived in Xiliang, he still had the old department stationed here, such as the seventy or eighty thousand people of Duan Xuan and others; In this way, Dong Zhuo has the largest number of soldiers and horses in the world, which is more than 400,000! But his heart is dead, and his people are dead! If he really attacked the Central Plains with all his heart, who in the world could stop him?

Dong Zhuo didn't do it in the end, not because he didn't have the courage, or because he didn't have the courage, just because he felt that he had done enough evil!

Li and Guo gathered 100,000 troops, Niu Fu, who kidnapped Li Ru, also had 150,000 troops, and the Bingzhou army represented by Lu Bu himself also gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in this change, reaching more than 70,000 people, and the rest was about 80,000 combined troops of Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew and Duan Xuan; In addition, there are other small forces, not worth mentioning, these people are all defecting to their favorite general one after another! The entire Chang'an City is four-legged, and there are more than 70,000 troops of the Huns in the north of the Yellow River, as well as Ma Teng and Han Sui's 100,000 troops who are observing the situation in Longshan!

Gathering Storms! Around a Chang'an City, there were more than 600,000 troops! 600,000! It is no exaggeration to say that if these forces can be twisted into a rope, they can be crushed all the way from west to east, and then from north to south! The world - no one beats!

It's a pity that these people have their own plans! No one wants to bow their heads! As Lu Bu, the culprit who killed Dong Zhuo, his current strength is also very strong, so he is afraid that those people will join forces to deal with him! For this reason, he is very worried now, especially since Li Kai has disappeared!

"What about Li Xiaoxian?" , Lu Bu, who occupied the east of the city, roared violently, and the people below did not dare to answer, Zhang Liao came back from outside, holding a letter in his hand, and whispered: "This is left by Mr. Li!" ”

Lu Bu opened the letter, and the bamboo slip wrote: Thank you Wenhou for taking care of Yueyu, brother, Li Xiaoxian is grateful! However, the situation changed unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven died, the world shook, and the son of the Central Plains arrived!

Brother once said, please foolish brother to plan the future path for you! I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have some stupid opinions! Chang'an City will inevitably change suddenly because of Dong Zhuo's death, this is an opportunity for my brother to rise! As long as you pay attention not to unite Dong Zhuo's old department, it is not impossible to take Chang'an with the courage of his brother and the assistance of the generals!

Chang'an is in ruins, it takes time to recuperate, at this time, the brother can send strong soldiers to drive out the foreign races, and after a carry, you can lead the army to conquer Xiliang! The so-called Xiliang Malaysia is rampant all over the world! Xiliang is a good place, take this as a foundation, or conquer Hanzhong, and try to make Yichuan a rich land; Or go east, occupy Sili, go north and merge with the state, and Yuan Shaoyi is longer and shorter!

Current affairs in the world are changing, and my brother can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven! It's really helpless not to say goodbye! After this goes, you and I will see each other again, I don't know when I hope my brother will take care! Brother, Li Xiaoxian cried tears and respected! Brother, Lu Fengxian opened it first!

Lu Bu was silent, put away the letter, which was written in Jinpa, he stuffed it into his arms, and was silent for a long time, rubbing the Fang Tian painting halberd given by Li Kai in his hand, Lu Bu's eyes widened angrily, and he said heroically: "I, Lu Fengxian!" Don't ask for anything! When did you get into the habit of being dependent on others? ”

Li Su's mood was very unstable, his hands were mixed together, his eyes were red, he had always been free and easy, he lost his faith after the death of the Son of Heaven, and it was a period of time when his mind was at war, but he had not lost his mind, and asked hoarsely: "What did Li Xiaoxian say?" ”

"He told me that Dong Zhuo's old department must not be united, otherwise we will be in danger! I'm thinking about who to woo over! Niu Fu is obviously impossible, he probably hates me to death now! Li Dao and Guo Yan are spreading rumors, saying that we plan to slaughter the people of Xiliang, and he has already gathered 100,000 horses, and under the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, it is impossible to reach an alliance with us!

The only thing that can be fought for is the forces represented by Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew and Duan Xuan! Their combined army and horses are 70,000 or 80,000 men, and if we join forces, we have a good chance of victory! But I don't know how to convince them", speaking of this, he thought of Li Kai again, if he was there, he would definitely have a way!

Zhang Liao touched the lightning scar on his face and clenched his fists, and said firmly: "I'll go!" Lu Bu turned around and said, "Do you have confidence?" ”

Zhang Wenyuan was silent for a moment and said, "No! However, if you don't succeed here, you will become a benevolent! If I don't come back at dusk, Wen Hou will lead the soldiers and horses to kill them! Take the brethren home! ”

Lu Bu was silent, and Zhang Wenyuan left without looking back! As he said, Zhang Xiu and the others had no reason to help him at all, but he had to fight for them, and if he couldn't win them, they would suffer a catastrophe!

In the north of Chang'an City, there is Niu Fu's garrison, at this time he is talking to Li Ru about something, Niu Fu is not good in any place, the force is not good, and the head is not good, but he himself has a special temperament, which makes people feel friendly!

He is eight feet tall, with a slender body, a beard under his chin that is tightly attached to his chin, he looks like a gentle jade, he is a very handsome man, Dong Zhuo's death is a big blow to him, he knows that he has no ability to take revenge, so he pins his hope on Li Ru!

"Why run away? Why? Why? Niu Fu scolded Li Ru over and over again, when he saw Li Ru with his wife and children preparing to run away, he was already furious, and he was always gentle, and he also looked very hideous!

Li Ru was still silent, Niu Fu dragged his neck and roared, shouting and crying, Niu Fu put down Li Ru, sorted out his clothes for him, knelt on the ground, and said sincerely: "Wenyou! I can't match your talent! I can't match your wisdom!

So, only you can avenge your father-in-law! I think that I was born poor, and I thought that this generation would pass like this, but my father-in-law has blue eyes, and we are waiting for Huang Teng, and he does not dislike our family and marries our daughter to us! Such a great grace! How not to report?

Me, Ushisuke! Please! Wenyou! Help me! Help me once! I want to avenge my father-in-law! Help me once! Please! Shall I kowtow to you? All you have to do is say yes, and it's all up to you! Whether it's military power or something else! As long as you promise to avenge your father-in-law, you can do whatever you want! ”

Niu Fu kowtowed again and again, and his smooth forehead was covered with blood! A gentle man shows a fierceness that he has never appeared! Li Ru knew that if he didn't agree, Niu Fu would even dare to die in front of him!

"Hey, why bother?" , Li Ru picked up Niu Fu and muttered, "Lord Xiangguo, Wen You may not be able to follow your instructions!" I can't swallow this! I will definitely kill Lu Bu! Avenge you! Ushisuke! You go to Lu Bu's military camp! Ask him for the body of his father-in-law! ”

Niu Fu wiped the blood on his forehead, bowed, turned around and left, he had no doubt about Li Ru's decision! Just like Dong Zhuo at the beginning!

Five miles outside the south gate of Chang'an, here is the camp where Li Dao and Guo Yan are settled, they originally wanted to enter the city to occupy the southern city and confront the other three forces, but Jia Xu objected, he only said that Chang'an City could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses, so he dispelled the idea of Li Dao and Guo Yan; No matter how big Chang'an City is, it can't tolerate more than 400,000 people fighting, and there are more than 3 million people in the city.

Jia Wenhe held a willow strip in his hand, and casually drew on the ground, at first it was just some patterns, which Li Dao and Guo Yan beside him didn't understand at all, but when Jia Xu wrote down these patterns, the two of them widened their eyes!

This is a map drawn by Jia Xu, inside Chang'an City, outside Chang'an City, existing enemies, possible potential enemies, and possible locations where conflicts may break out are noted one by one, making it clear and clear at a glance; Li Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and glanced at Guo Yan with some shock, terrain is too important for a general! But none of them are the kind of smart people, they don't have enough memories of this place, they don't know anything at all, and Jia Wenhe can make them understand with just a few strokes, simplifying the complex, this is a very powerful means!

The handsome guy Guo saluted respectfully: "Mr. Wenhe! I wonder what we two brothers are going to do now? ”

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "No need at all!" I think someone will come looking for us! The time is not ripe yet, of course, you also need to prepare more food and grass, the forces of all parties are complex, and we need to be prepared for a long-term struggle! Oh, forgot! I don't know where Dong Xiangguo's body is now, and where is the body of the Son of Heaven? ””

"It is said that the Son of Heaven has long been turned into minced meat, and only one piece of clothing remains, and Dong Xiangguo's body was taken away by Lu Bu!" , Li Dao said; Jia Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Go and tell Lu Bu that as long as he hands over the remains of the Son of Heaven and Dong Xiangguo, we will never be his enemies!" It's better for one of the two of you to go, and be careful to say 'I' when you speak, not 'We!' ’”

Li Wei and Guo Yan looked at each other, and Guo Yan said, "I'd better go!" After Guo Yan left, Jia Xu seemed to be accidentally muttering: "General Guo is very smart, Dong Xiangguo is the object of reverence of the Xiliang people after all, if he can succeed, his prestige"

Although it was a whisper, it was guaranteed that Li Dao could hear it, Li Dao's face changed greatly, and a seed was planted in his heart! This is Jia Wenhe! Indulge your talents and your talents as a strategist! He never put anyone in his eyes! In his opinion, anyone is his pawn!

The tree fell and scattered, when Dong Zhuo's towering tree fell, all the people changed their minds, and the one who rose by taking advantage of the situation was Duan Xuan, he may be able to fight for the fastest progress award, from a person with thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands to a person with 30,000 or 40,000 heavy soldiers, his strength is indeed very strong!

Duan Xuan, Duan Zhongming, he has a prominent identity, Duan Ying's brother! Who is Duan Ying? The Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the head of the four generals! The so-called four generals are Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi! Which of these three people is not a famous person? But Duan Ying stabilized them!

Duan Ying and Xiliang have not tasted defeat for more than ten years! Stomping on the side of his feet and shaking, Qiang Di trembled! But it was such a person who was framed by his son-in-law Yang Qiu and Cheng Heng, the middle attendant, because of political matters, and was forced to commit suicide!

Duan Xuan is Duan Ying's younger brother and was also implicated, and once became a concubine, because of Dong Zhuo, he gradually came out again, it can be said that this is a person who has experienced a lot, has seen a lot of winds and waves, and is proficient in the art of war, strategy, and conspiracy!

Zhang Wenyuan came, and when he met him and Zhang Ji, Zhang Liao didn't know how to speak, and after seeing the ceremony, he stood in the hall in a daze, pondered for a long time and said simply: "I am a rough man and a contemptible man, if there is disrespect in words!" I also hope that Duan Gong and Zhang Gong will atone for their sins! I'm here to negotiate an alliance on behalf of Wen Hou! Dare to ask the second prince if he has this thought? ”

Zhang Ji glanced at Duan Xuan and didn't speak, he had a very good relationship with Duan Xuan, and he also understood the ability of this Taiwei's brother, Duan Xuan said: "Lu Bu went back on his word, killed Ding Yuan and Dong Xiangguo's two fathers-in-law successively, and lost his trust in the world, how can we trust him?" ”

Zhang Liao was silent and silent, Duan Xuan's eyes were scorching, a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at him, and a smile bloomed on his emaciated face: "If you can make me believe in your sincerity, we have no room for negotiation!" ”

"If the second prince agrees! So! It's okay to accept my Zhang Wenyuan's surname! Zhang Liao took out his saber, held it in his hand, lowered his head, and looked like he was about to be killed!

Duan Xuan got up with a smile, came to Zhang Liao with his hands behind his back, took the battle knife, looked at it for a long time, took it out and looked at it, and said, "Don't you regret slashing you with a knife?" You're still young! In such a hurry to die? ”

Zhang Wenyuan said with a smile: "Zhang Wenyuan's life is actually very precious, if the second duke allied with Wenhou because of killing Zhang Liao, then Wenhou will win because of this!" I can also smile at Jiuquan and repay Wen Hou's favor to me! Isn't that a good thing? ”

"What if I kill you and don't ally with Lu Wenhou?" , Duan Xuan has some changes in his title, if he is a smart person, he will notice that he has the intention of forming an alliance with Lu Bu, which is a hint, but unfortunately Zhang Wenyuan can't understand it; Zhang Liao pursed his lips: "Without him, he is also a dead ear!" It's just a pity to die! I promised Wen Hou that if he didn't succeed here, he would become a benevolent! ”

"Boom!" , Duan Xuan suddenly closed his knife, laughed non-stop, and said: "Today, I have an alliance with Lu Wenhou!" It's not about how brave he is, it's not about his reputation! It's you Zhang Wenyuan! Youngster! I am very happy with your performance! My eldest brother was probably like you when he was younger, right? ”

"Thank you Duan Gong! Zhang Gong! Zhang Liao clenched his fists and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately he did not disgrace his mission!

Longshan, Ma Teng and Han Sui held a feast to invite Li Kai to a banquet, and the banquet revealed some different flavors at the beginning, and a few beautiful Qiang girls danced a dance, but unfortunately Li didn't watch it at all, he was more concerned about Ma Teng and Han Sui's current decision!

Ma Teng said: "The situation is chaotic, and I don't know how to advance or retreat!" Mr. Li is a hero in the world, and his talent is ten times better than ours! I wonder if Mr. Li can guide us for the sake of the dog Meng Qi? Shoucheng will be thanked! ”

"Brother Shoucheng is polite! Brother Wenyo is a man of far better resourcefulness than me, so why not listen to him? Li Kai said with a smile; Han Sui sighed: "The authorities are obsessed with bystanders! I would also like to hear Mr. Lee's opinion! Brainstorm ideas! I hope that filial piety will not shirk first! ”

Li Kai poured a glass of wine, took a sip slightly, and said, "Is there a map?" ”

The sergeant handed over the map, and Li Kai looked at it for a while before he slowly spoke: "Chang'an! This is the barrier that restricts you from going out, and it must be broken! The suggestion below is to join forces with Lu Bu and destroy Dong Zhuo's old department!

Although Lu Bu's reputation is not very good, his strength is enough, and he is now in a weak position, Niu Fu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan have gathered too many armies! Lu Bu can't resist, if Lu Bu loses, I'm afraid that Brother Shoucheng and Brother Wen Yue will have to think about how to deal with Dong Zhuo's old department! ”
