There are not many things that can make Li Dao change his color, because Li Dao is not a soft egg who can be easily bluffed, he is actually an extremely fierce cattle man in the late Han Dynasty.

In the records of the official history, Li Dao has six outstanding achievements.

One of the achievements, Li Dao defeated a generation of famous generals Zhu Jun. At that time, Zhu Jun had 3,000 Danyang elite soldiers sent by Tao Qian, but they were vulnerable, and Chen Liu and Yingchuan were surrounded by the princes of Kwantung, but they were robbed by Li Dao's army, which shows Li Dao's ferocity.

The second record is that Li Dao killed the famous general Xu Rong. Xu Rong had defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian, but was defeated by Li Dao in Xinfeng, and although the result of this battle was related to Hu Zhen's surrender, it was not unrelated to Li Dao's ferocity. If Li Dao was a soft persimmon, Hu Zhen, who was good at fighting, would not surrender to him easily.

The third record is to break through Chang'an and defeat Lu Bu. It is clearly recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms": "Li Guo besieged Chang'an, the city fell on ten days, and the city was defeated in the battle with Bu. "Lu Bu is the first fierce general under Dong Zhuo, and there are a large number of fierce people such as Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, but they can't defeat Li Dao in the street battle, which shows how powerful Li Dao is.

The fourth record is to defeat the combined forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui. Ma Teng wanted Li Dao to promote himself, but Li Dao, who controlled the center of the imperial court at that time, did not like him at all, but Ma Teng, who was annoyed and angry, sent troops to attack Li Dao together with Ma Yu, Liu Fan, the right Zhonglang general, the former Liangzhou Thorn Shi Chongshao, and Zhonglang General Du Yu, but they did nothing.

Ma Teng's brother Han Sui heard the news, and also led his troops to help Ma Teng, Li Dao then sent his nephew Li Li and Guo Yan, Fan Chou and other generals and Ma Teng, Han Sui coalition army in Changping Guan a battle, this war Ma Han coalition army was defeated, was beheaded by Li Dao more than 10,000 levels, Chong Shao, Liu Fan and others were killed.

Ma Teng and Han Sui have been in Xiliang for many years, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under their command has competed with the imperial court for many years, and they have fought with the hundreds of thousands of troops of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo, and they have won and lost each other. Li Wei commanded the remaining troops after Dong Zhuo's death to fight against the combined forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui, but he was able to win a big victory, which shows his strength. It is worth mentioning that Ma Chao, the first fierce general in Xiliang at that time, was already in his twenties, and he still followed his father to suffer this defeat.

The fifth record is to break the rebellion against Xiqiang. According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Xiqiang", in the first year of Xingping, the Qiang people in the territory of Zuo Fengyi rebelled and invaded the land of Sanfu, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou led the army to break through and behead thousands of people. At that time, the Qiang people in the northwest frontier were the first evil of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo relied on the support of the Qiang soldiers to develop and grow.

The sixth record is to defeat the White Polish Army and the Right Hun cavalry. On the way back to Luoyang with Emperor Xian, Li Dao and Guo Yan led troops to chase, Yang Feng hurriedly recruited Bai Boshuai Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai and the Southern Xiongnu Youxian King to go to Bei, led thousands of horsemen to support, but the result was a great defeat, and the dead even exceeded the number of people in the battle of Dongjian.

After counting Li Dao's six major achievements, it can be described in eight words, that is, "The civil war is very good, and the foreign war is even more crazy!" "The generals who were defeated under him were Zhu Jun, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, Lu Bu, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Ma Chao, Yang Feng, Li Le, Han Xian, Hu Cai, and Qubei, and the troops defeated under him were Zhongmu Yijun, Danyang Elite Soldiers, Bingzhou Elite, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Rebel Xiqiang, Southern Huns, and Baibo Bandit Army......

What's even more surprising is that it only took Li Dao five years to create these undefeated records!

There is another example that can also prove Li Dao's awesomeness from the side. The old poison Jia Xu is a very cautious and cautious guy, he first worked under Duan Xuan, but later switched to Li Wei because he couldn't stand Duan Xuan's suspicions, if Li Wei didn't have real skills, how could the vicious Jia Xu find an excuse to leave Duan Xuan and go to serve Li Wei?

In later generations, many people could not understand why Li Dao and Guo Yan could control the government for four years after breaking through Chang'an, and they could run rampant in Guanzhong for eight years, and everyone could not understand why no one dared to lead the army to approach Guanzhong, or even near Luoyang, with the prestige and strength of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others at that time, it was because they all knew how powerful Li Dao was, so they did not dare to approach the territory controlled by Li Dao.

Now that Li Wei learned that dozens of soldiers stationed in Tongguan had fled back, his face suddenly changed, which only showed that he realized the seriousness of the problem.

Li Wei asked dozens of deserters to be detained separately, and then asked about the loss of Tongguan one by one, the confessions of these soldiers are not different, they are all about Tongguan suddenly suffered a sandwich attack from the east and west, and the main general Li Meng heard that Captain Li and Captain Guo were defeated and killed, and had no intention of fighting again, so he went out of the city to serve Liu He and begged to surrender to the Son of Heaven.

It was not until this time that Li Dao finally learned the news that Liu He led the army back to Chang'an.

Li Wei sighed and said to Jia Xu: "I didn't kill Liu Jia'er last year, but I didn't expect it to become a disaster now!" ”

Jia Xu recalled the situation when he met Liu He in Wuguan last year, and asked: "Zhiran (Li Daozi), why did you send someone to assassinate Liu He in the first place?" ”

Li Wei replied: "I just wanted to blame Duan Xuan for sending someone to kill Liu He, not specifically against him. Now it seems that it is better to kill him at that time, and the province still needs to meet the enemy. ”

Jia Xu said with a wry smile: "I was also blind in Wuguan at the beginning, but I didn't expect that the Liu family would make such a big move in just one year, and now if I want to kill him, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult." ”

Li Wei nodded and said, "Liu He is now leading the army to cut off our way to retreat to Luoyang, and a cavalry of unknown origin suddenly appeared in the east of Baling, I always feel that there is some kind of connection between these two groups of men and horses?" ”

Jia Xu groaned and said: "The young man who claimed to be Zhang Xu, the general of Yuan Shao's department, during the day, should be Zhao Yun, the first general under Liu He. When Liu He returned to Youzhou, he used An Pingguo to exchange for a little-known young general from Gongsun Zhan, but it turned out to be a 'ten thousand enemies', this matter has been known to the world, I think this time Liu He made the same plan as defrauding Tongguan, so that Zhao Yun came from the north of Weishui, pretending to be Yuan Shao's subordinates, trying to disrupt our deployment. ”

"It's a possibility. It's just that I don't know what Liu He's intention is in sending Zhao Yun to disrupt the situation? Li Wei frowned and pondered. Could it be that he wanted to delay our army's attack on Chang'an? ”

"Quite possibly."

"And what is the purpose of his delay in the movement of our troops? Could it be that they are waiting for some reinforcements? ”

"It's hard to say this now, maybe it's a bluff. It is not easy for Liu He to bring 10,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou, and the Kanto forces should not have the strength to come and participate in this battle. ”

"No matter what his purpose is, tomorrow I will personally lead a group of soldiers and horses to block the cavalry north of Baling, and Guo Yan and Fan Chou will lead the army to attack the city, solve Xu Rong first, and then immediately surround Chang'an, I don't believe that a mere Liu He dares to come to find death!"

Li Dao and Jia Xu made a plan in the account, so they immediately sent people to inform Guo Yan, the commander of the right army, and Fan Chou, the commander of the rear army, that they did not regard the loss of Tongguan as a thing, let alone send a group of soldiers and horses to attack Tongguan.

Liu He originally made arrangements near Tongguan, but waited for Li Dao to send troops to retake Tongguan, but people were not fooled, so he had to continue to hide in the Guancheng with Guo Jia to discuss the esoteric topic of "congenital insufficiency".

In order to make Guo Jia believe his words, Liu He even moved the idea of sending someone back to Jicheng to take Zhao Ai'er to Chang'an to check Guo Jia's pulse. Since Liu He returned to Youzhou, because he was often accompanied by a fairy sister who knew cold and heat, his restless heart had stabilized a lot, and his body was also conditioned.

Of course, Liu He will definitely not push Zhao Aier into the arms of the amorous classmate Guo Jia, this piece of heart, Liu He wants to taste it himself.

On the night when Zhao Yun's soldiers forced the Lingcheng, the defenders at the head of the city suddenly received a flying arrow and hurriedly sent it to Xu Rong. Xu Rong opened it to see that it was a handwritten letter written by Liu He to him.

Last time Tao Kuan returned to Youzhou, he brought Xu Rong a letter from Liu He, so Xu Rong was no stranger to Liu He's handwriting.

Liu He bluntly said in the letter that Xu Rong's current situation is very dangerous, and if he is defeated and flees back to Chang'an, it will inevitably lead to the fate of Li Su being killed; If Baling City is broken and Xu Rong is caught by Li Dao and Guo Yan, he will not be able to escape death, because Xu Rong's background determines that he cannot be trusted by Li Dao and Guo Yan like Hu Zhen.

Liu He advised Xu Rong not to be obsessed with winning or losing for a while, and to take a long-term view, it is better to return to Youzhou to contribute to the defense of the Han frontier, even if he dies in the battle against the Xianbei and Wuhuan people, it will go down in history, and it is better than dying in meaningless infighting.

It should be said that Liu He's letter was written very sincerely, and there was no intention of deliberately wooing and buying, but it woke up Xu Rong, who was worried about a way out.

Xu Rong also knew that with his current status, he could neither be reused by the royalists, nor could he be trusted by the state department, let alone forgiven by the Liangzhou faction, and he continued to stay in Chang'an with only one fate, either being attacked to death by Li Dao and Guo Yan, or being calculated and killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu and others, anyway, there was no good result.

Xu Rong pondered for a moment, got up and walked down the city tower.

In the early morning of the second day, smoke billowed from the Li Dao camp, and the soldiers were all busy. After breakfast, the army was divided into two groups, one group came to attack Baling City, and the other group came to intercept Zhao Yun, only to find that the defenders in the city and the cavalry outside the city had all lost their traces. Hundreds of Flying Bear Army prisoners were lying in the temporary camp of Zhao Yun's garrison, one by one they were gagged with rags and tied their hands and feet with ropes, but they were very honest.

After Li Wei landed on the top of the city, he shook his head at Jia Xu and said with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that the Liu family sent thousands of cavalry around such a big circle, just to save a Xu Rong from escaping!" ”

Jia Xu also shook his head, saying that he couldn't understand Liu He's move.

Of course they don't understand Liu He's thoughts, a Xu Rong may not be more than a Er in their eyes, but in Liu He's eyes, it is very valuable, at least much more valuable than Wang Yun's old thing.

If Liu He saves Wang Yun, he will only add a lot of trouble to himself, because this old guy is not only insidious, but also has an extremely strong desire for power, and sooner or later he will calculate himself like Dong Zhuo. But if Liu He saves Xu Rong, it will be equivalent to finding a very capable thug for his father, for a pure professional soldier like Xu Rong, he only knows how to fight on orders, and will not think about playing political conspiracy, which is really a rare cadre.

Jia Xu asked Li Wei: "Are you sending troops to pursue Xu Rong now?" He was full of infantry, and he should not have gone far in a few hours, and he must have withdrawn to the north. ”

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No need to chase." Xu Rong is just a lost dog, and he can't become a climate. Besides, Zhao Yun didn't do anything about it, and he didn't kill the captured Flying Bear soldiers, if he pursued at this time, he was afraid that he would fight back strongly. Our most urgent task now is to besiege Chang'an, kill Wang Yun and Lu Bu, and avenge the Taishi! ”

Jia Xu thought to himself: You are so shameless, you obviously want to rush into Chang'an and take the little emperor in your hands to be the second Dong Zhuo, but you still have to say it so high-sounding!

Li Dao and Guo Yan solved Xu Rong, who was blocking the road, and immediately sent people to force Duan Xuan in the area of the Tunbing Dao Pavilion. When Duan Xuan heard that Xu Rong's army was defeated and missing, he hurriedly led his troops to retreat to Duling, thirty miles south of the Dao Pavilion, and gave way to Chang'an for Zhang Ji's troops.

In this way, there was no obstacle on the road for the combined forces of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji to march west into Chang'an, and the 70,000-strong army came to the city of Chang'an that night, surrounding the western capital.
