Chapter 200: Li Wei listens to Jia Xu
Xu Huang dodged Guan Yu's big knife, and once again raised the big axe to deal with Guan Yu, as a young man, Xu Huang still has a kind of strength to admit defeat in the face of such a strong enemy, and he wants to carry Guan Yu to the end, Guan Yu saw that Xu Huang did not flinch, and couldn't help but be furious, if it was before, when he didn't have an arrow wound, he must make this kid look good, and he had to run away with a fart, but now his arrow wound made him really a little powerless, but Xu Huang's performance still provoked his fighting spirit at once, and ignited the anger in his heart all of a sudden
Guan Yu was enraged all of a sudden, he was about to exert all his strength to fight with Xu Huang, at this moment the wound on his right arm suddenly burst open, Guan Yu intuitively felt a pain in his right arm, and the blood soaked his right arm again, Guan Yu was no longer able to attack Xu Huang, the wound suddenly attacked, Guan Yu was so painful that he couldn't help but scream "Ah, ah", and he suddenly dropped the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand to the ground, Xu Huang saw that Guan Yu did not continue to attack, Xu Huang has a principle, that is, never take advantage of the danger of others.
At this moment, Li Su rushed over, he rescued Guan Yu at once, helped him to retreat, Li Dao and others took advantage of this to retreat, Guan Yu had to give up chasing back to Luoyang, Guan Yu's arm wound burst, the pain was unbearable, back to Luoyang was directly sent to the house by Li Su, and hurriedly found the imperial doctor to apply the plaster left by Hua Tuo to the wound, this plaster really magically immediately stopped the bleeding of Guan Yu's wound, Guan Yu's pain was also reduced a lot along with the plaster, Li Su persuaded Guan Yu to say: "Yun Chang should rest for a while, We finally dealt a heavy blow to Li Dao this time. Li Dao suffered a lot of casualties, and he would not attack again now. It's not too late for us to make plans when your injuries are fully recovered! ”
Guan Yu endured the severe pain and nodded helplessly. At this moment, Diao Chan and Wan'er arrived, and hurriedly served Guan Yu, this wound made Guan Yu unable to exert any more force, but he was still not worried about the situation in the east of Luoyang City, Guan Yu asked about the battle in the east of Li Su, Li Su was made a little helpless by Guan Yu, he had to persuade: "There are Wenyuan and Fangzheng in the east, everything is fine, Zhang Ji and they can't kill them at all!" Guan Yu nodded reassuringly after hearing this. Under the service of Diao Chan and Wan'er, he began to rest.
However, it was said that Li Dao lost his troops and lost his generals, and he actually lost Niu Fu, and the army was hit hard, so he had to retreat for dozens of miles to reorganize in order to resume the war, although he lost some soldiers and horses and also broke Niu Fu, but the main force still existed, and he still had more than 70,000 troops, but Li Dao was still very distressed by the defeat, and he began to ask the strategist Jia Xu around him. Asked about the next step, this Jia Xu (born in 147, the character and. A person from Guzang County, Wuwei County, is a descendant of Jia Yi, a great writer in the Western Han Dynasty. Jia Xu was not famous when he was young, only Yan Zhong, a famous scholar at that time, thought he was different, saying that he had the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. Jia Xu was investigated for filial piety in his early years. He resigned due to illness and returned west to his hometown to reach Wangdi. On the way, he met the rebellious Di people, and was captured by the Di people along with dozens of other people. Jia Xu said: "I am the grandson of Duan Gong. Don't hurt me, my family will be ransomed with a lot of money. At that time, Taiwei Duan Cheng, because he had been a border general for a long time, shocked the western soil, so Jia Xu pretended to be Duan Cheng's grandson to scare the people, and the rebel really didn't dare to harm him, and sent him back after making an oath with him, but the rest of the people were killed. Jia Xu has such a talent for improvising things, and there are many things like this.
Later, Jia Xu was promoted to the captain of Pingjin at this time, and was later promoted to the captain of the school. When Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Zhonglang sent Niu Fu to Shaanxi Province, Jia Xu was in Niu Fu Army. This time the battle Niu Fu died, Jia Xu became Li Dao's strategist, Li Dao's soldiers were defeated, so he asked Jia Xu, Jia Xu brushed his beard, said Li Daodao: "Luoyang City is indestructible, there is a value, Guan Yu is alive, the city fortifications are very in place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, my army is newly defeated, if we attack Luoyang, the chances of victory are slim, not to mention that our area of less than 80,000 horses is the previous more than 100,000 horses, it is not easy to spit out Luoyang, especially under Guan Yu's leadership, Guan Yu is well versed in the art of war and has a strategy, which is not something that ordinary people can deal with!" ”
"What do you think we should do?" Li Wei then asked.
Jia Xu continued to analyze: "Guan Yu in the name of King Qin's thief for his own right, with his prestige and influence in the army for so many years Guan Yu temporarily controlled the situation in Luoyang, before the emperor was afraid of Dong Gong, now Dong Gong thought that Guan Yu was removed, and we as Dong Gong's old department came to force the palace, so the palace relied on only Guan Yu, the more urgent we forced, the greater the palace's trust in Guan Yu, Guan Yu's strength is definitely not under us, it is extremely difficult for us to try to temporarily withdraw troops to observe internal changes, As the saying goes, 'we can only share weal and woe and not share happiness', if we withdraw our troops, then the imperial court is equivalent to relieving the crisis, the imperial court has no sense of crisis, can he Guan Yu's position in the imperial court still be stable? Not to mention the ministers in the court, even Emperor Xian will regard him as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and begin to ponder the elimination of his military power, Guan Yu has just gained a foothold in the court as a newcomer, although he has a great influence in the army, but if the court puts pressure on him, what will happen to him? If he is a very ambitious person, he will set off a bloody storm, if he is not an ambitious person, he will be forced to a desperate situation by the court step by step, but no matter what, all we have to do is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, sit and watch the development of the situation, if there is really an incident in the court, then we can raise troops again in the name of King Qin's suppression of thieves, and then we don't need to waste too much effort, maybe someone will open the city gate for us; If Guan Yu is really forced away, then there will be no good generals available in the court, and we can also approach Luoyang, and it will be much easier to attack the city at that time, so no matter what the result is from this aspect, it is we who will win in the end! ”
"Wen He said it so well! The analysis is reasonable, so that we can reap the benefits without much effort! Li Dao said happily after hearing this.
Jia Xu nodded, Li Wei then made up his mind to take Jia Xu's strategy and temporarily collect the troops, and then turn over and kill back after the Luoyang incident, Li Wei's army quietly and slowly retreated, at this time Guan Yu was still recuperating in Luoyang, unaware of Li Wei's retreat, in view of Guan Yu's injury, Luoyang City only had to hold on to it and did not consider the initiative to attack, so Li Wei's army withdrew from the Central Plains unscathed, and returned to Sanfu Town to defend it
Guan Yu used the plaster left by Hua Tuo, the injury was reduced a lot, there was no pain, Guan Yu couldn't wait to care about the war, he found Li Su to ask about Li Dao's situation, Li Su truthfully reported the military situation to him, saying that Li Dao had withdrawn, Guan Yu was a little puzzled after hearing it: Is it because of the defeat of the previous army? But it's okay, he is injured, and if he fights again, he won't be able to fight them, but the situation in the east of Luoyang Guan Yu has never been clear, for so many days he has been looking at the west and has never been to the east battlefield, now his injuries are much better, he can't rest assured about the situation in the east, so he came to the east of Luoyang City to investigate.
Zhang Liao and Li Yan led an army of 30,000 to compete with Zhang Ji, if Zhang Ji came out, Zhang Liao went out of the city to meet the enemy, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao could not take any advantage at all, every challenge ended in failure, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu if they fought together, then Li Yan and Zhang Liao also fought two people, and the two also could not take any advantage, so the two sides faced off several times, Zhang Ji could not advance, because there was no worries, so Zhang Liao did not need to worry about other only to meet the enemy.
Later, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu decided to sneak attack Luoyang City, the two decided to take action at night, and secretly lurked to the northeast corner of Luoyang City, which is a weak place, the two aimed at the opportunity to lead the sergeants to rush up, and the siege was opened, but the two never expected that there were already preparations here, Zhang Liao hid countless archers here to ambush here, just waiting for the enemy to attack, as a result, Zhang Ji's army was just ready to attack the city was shot by the archers on the city, Countless rolling wood, stones and torches were chiseled down from the city, and Zhang Ji's army had no choice but to give up the attack.
The attack was blocked by Zhang Ji's army was forced to retreat, just ran less than ten miles, but heard a cannon sound, the fire in all directions, Zhang Liao has been waiting here for a long time, Zhang Ji saw Zhang Liao suddenly killed, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Ji combined: "For today's plan, the only way to fight with them is to break the cauldron and sink the boat!" The uncle and nephew discussed and decided to rush to Zhang Liao at the same time, and fought Zhang Liao together, Zhang Liao was difficult to face two strong enemies at once, and it was difficult to control, as a result, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu escaped one after another, but Zhang Liao still won a lot in this battle, and gave Zhang Ji a heavy blow
After this battle, Zhang Ji lost nearly 20,000 men and horses, only 30,000 horses remained, if the 30,000 horses and horses in this area were used to guard the two passes was obviously too hard, the two of them decided to give up the Tiger Prison Pass and retreat to the Bishui Pass, because the Tiger Prison Pass was too close to Luoyang and was very easy to be attacked, if the Kanto side was attacked, it was easy to be attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and the left and right sides were attacked, and the space for survival was very small, so the two decided to give up this place and retreat to the Bishui Pass to wait for the opportunity.
Zhang Liao and Li Yan cooperated with each other to successfully repel the attack of Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, and took advantage of the victory to pursue and recover the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop, this Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway to the east of Luoyang, the significance is extraordinary, Zhang Liao stationed 20,000 troops here to consolidate its city defense, Zhang Liao is proficient in martial arts and proficient in the art of war, and Li Yan is an expert in city defense, there is a set in defense, the two have their own merits, but such a match is a perfect combination, it can be described as a perfect combination.
