Chapter 41: Waiting in place

However, it was said that after Lu Bu retreated from the battlefield with the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou, Guo Yan would send someone to chase and kill. The men and horses were sent out, and before they had gone a few steps, they heard a horse from the reinforcements galloping towards them, shouting: "Ado, poor Komo chase!" ”

Guo Yan was a little familiar when he heard it, and when the flying horse got closer, he recognized it as his friend Li Dao in the army.

If you want to talk about the relationship between Guo Yan and Li Wei, you don't need to say much, but they are rare good friends.

Guo Yan was convinced by Li Dao, so he immediately ordered the troops to be collected, and after meeting with Li Dao, Li Dao and Guo Yan told each other the reasons.

Only then did Guo Yan know that soon after Dong Shouye received the news of Dong Zhuo's death in Yiwu, he learned that Guo Yan was Dong Zhuo's body broken, and Huangfu Song was going to attack Yiwu in a few days, so he immediately discussed with his subordinates and made a plan to deal with Huangfu Song, and at the same time asked Li Wei, who was familiar with Guo Yan, to lead 5,000 troops to meet Guo Yan.

After receiving the order, Li Dao immediately gathered his men and horses and set off.

When he was approaching Guo Yan, the sentinel in front reported that Guo Yan was at war with others, and Li Wei asked the herald to immediately deliver the news to his master Dong Shouye, and at the same time he immediately led his men and horses to fly to the battlefield to support Guo Yan.

When Li Dao arrived at the battlefield, it coincided with the time when Guo Yan was wounded, and Lu Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to attack the Xiliang cavalry, causing the Xiliang cavalry formation to be scattered.

Seeing this, Li Dao immediately beat the drum and marched into the army, and at the same time blew the horn of attack. This practice is a unique practice in the Xiliang army, and it is also a signal of a secret agreement. The sound of drums is common, but the horn is somewhat famous, generally speaking, the Han people beat the drum to enter the army, and only when the Hu people attack, will the horn be blown. Dong Zhuo was on the battlefield of Xiliang, invented a horn signal, to pass the news with the various departments under his command, this time Li Dao blew the horn is three short and one long, which means that the reinforcements can arrive, please stick to the help.

If Li Wei's rescue today is not timely enough, I am afraid that Guo Yan will be worried about annihilation, and at least he will have to suffer heavy losses.

After Li Dao and Guo Yan finished talking, Guo Yan said: "Childish. Right now, Lu Bu's division is tired and old, why not lead the troops to chase him and kill him completely? Li Dao shook his head and said, "Ado, there are priorities, today is not a good opportunity to hunt down Lu Bu." The lord has just taken power, and since we have already met today, let's immediately raise troops to join the lord's guild! ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he nodded and said, "Childish, it makes sense, so let's do so!" ”

Seeing this, Li Wei relaxed a lot, originally thought that Guo Yan would have a certain psychological obstacle to Dong Shouye's taking power, and would definitely choose to delay the time and meet with Dong Shouye as late as possible, so that he might be able to win some comfort from Dong Shouye, but he didn't expect it to be not, so he agreed on the spot, and said: "Then I will immediately send out a ranger, report to the lord, and leave it to the lord to decide." ”

When Guo Yan heard this, he was a little puzzled, so he said: "Why is this so? ”

After hearing this, Li Wei explained: "Ado, you don't know, at this time, the lord should be fighting a generation of famous generals Huangfu Song. Before I came, the lord had commanded that if the war went well, we could stay here for a while and wait for the meeting with the lord's guild. If the war is unfavorable, we need to send troops to support us immediately. ”

After Guo Yan listened, he sighed and said: "Huangfu Song is a generation of famous generals, although the lord has the advantage of troops, it is not easy to break it. And the lord was in power at the beginning, young and vigorous, and eager to avenge his father, it is inevitable that he will be impetuous, if he is not careful, I am afraid that "I was afraid that the Xiliang army would be wiped out, but I didn't dare to say anything."

When Li Dao heard this, he smiled heartily, and then said: "Ado, you are too worried, you have little contact with the lord on weekdays, but you don't know that the lord is talented and intelligent, and no one can compare, even a generation of famous generals Huangfu Song may not be able to take advantage of it in his hands." Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, and we have fought with him in the Xiliang Battlefield, and even his strategy is extraordinary, and his martial arts are extraordinary. At that time, Sun Jian gathered 100,000 people, and the lord's soldiers and horses were only 50,000, but he was defeated by the lord, if it wasn't for the lord's intention to spare his life, I am afraid that he would die when he was in Luoyang! ”

Guo Yan was surprised when he heard this, and said: "The edict of the Son of Heaven is that Xu Rong commanded the battle, and there are rumors in the army that this battle is commanded by the lord, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Li Dao said with a smile: "You and I are confidants, how could I deceive you, the original edict of the Son of Heaven was just a self-defiling act of the lord, just to avoid attracting the attention of the princes of the world!" ”

After hearing this, Guo Yan shouted: "The lord is really a god and a man, and he has the style of the Taishi back then!" ”

Li Wei looked at Guo Yan's slightly out of shape appearance, smiled, and said: "I'm afraid that the blue is better than the blue, if my expectations are good, within two days, there will definitely be news of the lord's victory over Huangfu Song." All we need to do is wait here for my lord! ”

After Guo Yan listened, he was even more overjoyed and his confidence was even firmer.

After that, Li Dao took out the grain and grass supplies he carried with the army and distributed them to Guo Yan. It turned out that when Guo Yan led the troops to escort Dong Zhuo's body out of Chang'an, he left in a very hurry, and he didn't carry much grain and grass supplies.

Fortunately, Li Dao brought grain and grass, otherwise the people in this vicinity would have suffered. You must know that when the Xiliang Army was in Xiliang before, there was no shortage of food grabbing.

At dusk on the second day, a horse galloped into the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan.

I saw this horse, carrying three order flags, holding a seal letter in his hand, and after seeing Li Dao and Guo Yan, he said: "Li Dao and Guo Bi are two lieutenants to listen to the order!" ”

Seeing this, Li Dao and Guo Yan glanced at each other, and immediately saluted to the herald and received the order!

The herald took out a letter sealed with fire paint from his bosom, held it in his hand, and said: "The lord has defeated the 30,000 horses led by Huangfu Song near Yiwu, and will soon lead the troops to Huaili to meet the two captains, and order the two captains to stand by in place and wait for the lord!" This letter is written by the lord himself, and the two lieutenants will know it at a glance! ”

Li Wei stepped forward to catch the letter, opened it, glanced at it a few times, and said to Guo Yan: "It is the handwriting of the lord!" ”

After the two of them read it, they confirmed the conclusivity of the news, Guo Yan excitedly shook Li Wei's hand and shouted: "The lord is really a god and a man!" ”

Li Wei looked at Guo Yan's excited appearance, smiled, and felt a lot more relieved.

Li Dao has always followed Dong Shouye, and he knows his ability very well, admires him, and is extremely loyal. But sometimes I still feel that Dong Shouye is unfathomable and unpredictable, Li Dao has been a subordinate of Dong Shouye for a long time, so there is no burden on him to be in power, but he can't wait for it, only Dong Shouye is in power, he can develop, if someone else is in power, his previous efforts will not be in vain.

But Guo Yan is different, he can have other choices. As Guo Yan's friend, Li Wei doesn't want to be hostile to him, and sometimes Li Wei thinks that if Guo Yan chooses to follow others to fight against Dong Shouye, I'm afraid the result will be death without a place to be buried, but fortunately Guo Yan didn't.
