"Stand down, all of you! Virtuous son-in-law, you stay for a while. Dong Zhuo shouted to everyone after rewarding everyone.

"No" everyone shouted in unison, and then left the big tent directly, of course, including Xu Huang, who was a little lost in his soul.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what are you pleading for that Xu Huang for?" As soon as the person left, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but ask. Anyway, he didn't like the one named Xu Huang.

Li Ru shook his head helplessly, and asked rhetorically, "Father-in-law, this Xu Huang is still useful now, without him, who do we use to compete with that Pang De." Guo Yan, or Hu Zhen. ”

"Huh!" Dong Zhuo was instantly dumbfounded, where are Guo Yan's wastes the opponents of Pound.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, why did you retreat not long after the siege of the city." Dong Zhuo was still a little unhappy in his heart, and there was a sense of powerlessness that he would take back halfway through his exertion.

"Father-in-law, I didn't think about attacking the city in the first place." Li Ru smiled faintly.

"Then why do you still give the order and lose your soldiers and horses in vain." Dong Zhuo was puzzled.

Li Ru showed a hint of a smile: "I just want to give Ma Teng a warning and tell him father-in-law, you are bound to Liangzhou." Let him not dare to move. In this way, we will be able to come out of the shell of a golden cicada and divide our troops to go to the pot pass. He Ma Teng could never have imagined that our desperate attack on Jincheng like this was just a pretense. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, and praised "It's a golden cicada out of its shell, so what should we do now?" ”

Li Ru spit out the word "wait" very casually.

Dong Zhuo looked at Li Ru with some puzzlement, looking like he didn't know why. And there is clearly already some impatience.

Li Ru also knew that Dong Zhuo didn't like his appetite, so he hurriedly said, "We don't have to do anything on our side now." I just had a big fight, so naturally I need to fix it. After all, our side is not the main battlefield. ”

"Our main battlefield is still in Nahuguan, as long as General Li Wei can catch Nahuguan by surprise and take Huguan, our side will naturally become. At the same time, I have also received news that Liu Yao has personally led the army to Naxiguan, obviously to deal with Yuan Shao. Let's take this opportunity to consume Yuan Shao's strength. With Yuan Shao containing Liu Yao, our side can also be a little easier. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this. laughed and said, "Okay, what kind of thing is Yuan Benchu, and he actually dares to negotiate conditions with me." He wants to share the secluded and cool three states with me, he dreams. If it weren't for Liu Yao's power, I wouldn't have formed an alliance with him. That Youzhou is Liu Yao's base camp, so let Yuan Shao touch the nails well. Hahaha. All right. Son-in-law, I'm sleepy, and I want to sleep for a while, and I'll leave the division of troops to you. ”

"No!" Li Ru said lightly, then turned around and left the big tent and went to dispatch troops.

Jincheng was too guarded, and after Dong Zhuo withdrew from the army, Ma Teng immediately began to clean up the battlefield. And Cheng Yu and the others also returned to the Taishou Mansion.

"Ling Ming, how much is the loss?" Cheng Yu asked with a deep frown.

Pound's face was also a little unpleasant. The wound on his arm had already been bandaged, but the blood loss still affected him a little. said, "Two thousand were wounded, and more than a thousand were killed." ”

Cheng Yu's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ling Ming, are you okay?" Ma Teng glanced at the injury on Pound's left arm with some concern.

Pound shook his head and said, "Minor injury, it's just a scratch, it's not a big deal." He didn't know how many times Pound had suffered such an injury in his life, and he really didn't care much about it.

"Uncle Pang, it's all my fault, I didn't stop that Hu Zhen in time!" Ma Tie looked at Pang De's injury and said apologetically.

"The second son doesn't have to be like this. That Dong Zhuo is treacherous, so it will be like this. It's just a pity that the man named Xu Huang, a good man, actually made a secret investment! Pound said with some pity. In the end, he also found out that he might have misunderstood Xu Huang, after all, he finally saw the confusion flashing in Xu Huang's eyes, and he didn't chase after him. Such a person should not look like a despicable villain.

"Xu Huang, I really don't know where it came from!" Ma Teng is also full of pity, and of course there is anger.

"Master Cheng, what's wrong with you? Do you know that Xu Huang? Pang De looked at Cheng Yu and frowned deeply, and couldn't help asking.

Cheng Yu shook his head, "No, I just think today's things are a little strange." ”

"What's so weird?" Ma Teng was a little confused, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with today's incident.

Cheng Yu smiled and said? We have only been facing off against Dong Zhuocai for a few days, and we don't know much about each other. Then Dong Zhuo came to call the formation to tempt it, even if it was normal. But he actually directly ordered the siege of the city, which is completely unreasonable. And before there was much time to attack the city, the troops were ordered to retreat, which is another unreasonable thing. ”

Ma Teng's heart was also moved when he heard this, and there was really something wrong. But he didn't know what was wrong. In the end, he said, "The military advisor is thinking too much." Maybe it was because he saw that Ling Ming was injured and his morale dropped greatly, so he ordered the siege of the city, but then he found that he was impulsive, and he couldn't do it, so he retreated. ”

"Really?" Cheng Yu muttered to himself. In his opinion, Li Ru is definitely not a person who would make such a mistake. But now I can't think of anything wrong. There's definitely some intrigue in that.

Ma Tie couldn't stand it anymore, and interjected, "Master Cheng, what do you want to do so much." Since the lord ordered us to defend Liangzhou, then don't worry about so many things. We just need to do our own thing, and the rest of us believe in the lord is enough. ”

"Tie'er, don't be rude!" Ma Teng scolded.

Suddenly, Cheng Yu suddenly came to his senses, looked at Ma Tie and said, "Haha, I care too much, Ma Tie is right." Since the lord has already arranged a qiē, as long as we do the subordinates well, we believe that the lord will be. ”

Ma Tie was praised by Cheng Yu like this, but he was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back and rest, especially you Lingming, you must take care of your injuries. If Dong Zhuo retreats like this today, there should be no more action in a short period of time. Let's be careful. Cheng Yu said with a sigh of relief.

"No!" The crowd agreed in unison.

However, what Cheng Yu didn't expect was that he wanted to delay time, and Li Ru also wanted to delay time. The two have a somewhat coincidental feeling. For a while, except for some small fights on the battlefield in Liangzhou, there was no real fight.

Youzhou, above Xiguan. It is not far between Xiguan and Jixian County. Therefore, even if Liu Yao's army set off many days late, it arrived at Xiguan before Yuan Shao. As for Yuan Shao, his vanguard army arrived the day after Liu Yao's army arrived, and Yuan Shao's Chinese army was probably a few days before it could reach Xiguan.

Xiguan, in the middle of the council hall. Liu Yao, Zhang Fei, Hua Xiong, Gao Shun, Guo Jia and Ma Dai are standing impressively. And there were three people standing behind Liu Yao, two of whom were naturally Liu Yao's personal guard commanders, Shi A and Huang Xu. As for the last person, no, the last piece of Roshan is naturally the survey

This time, for the sake of insurance, Liu Yao also brought the big killer weapon of the survey. Over the years, Liu Yao has eaten well, slept well, and had a good time. Of course, his weight is naturally still constantly moving upward. It's a lot heavier than it was a year ago.

Of course, Liu Yao looked at the increasing weight of the survey, and was worried that he would eventually die of some diseases because of excessive obesity. You must know that in modern times, there are not a few people who die because of complications caused by excessive obesity. Therefore, he specially asked Hua Tuo to show him. In the end, I came to the conclusion that this thing has nothing to do at all, it is purely a pervert with a special physique, which is compared with what he Liu Yao himself has. In this regard, Liu Yaona was also depressed for a long time.

"Zhonghua, what's wrong, where is Yuan Shao's vanguard army, and who is the leader?" Liu Yao drank tea comfortably and asked casually, without taking the so-called vanguard army into account. He had just arrived in Xiguan, so he didn't know much about Yuan Shao's situation, so he could only ask him Ma Dai.

"Led by the two brothers Yan Liang and Wen Chou. The army of 50,000 has already reached fifty miles before Xiguan, and it should be there in less than two hours. Ma Dai said respectfully.

Liu Yao was stunned when he heard this, and only said after a while, "Fengxiao, then Yuan Shao is not stupid." actually sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou. You say what the first thing will happen if the two of them arrive. ”

Guo Jia also showed a hint of abuse on his face, and said, "Do you still need to think about this, naturally I came to call the battle." But this Yuan Shao is not stupid. After all, these two people were the most powerful generals under his command, and he probably just wanted them to come and test them. And I guess Yuan Shao must have put someone who can suppress the two of them by his side. ”

Liu Yao nodded, with a look of deep understanding, and looked at the place again, "Where is Yuan Shao's Chinese army now?" ”

"According to the report from the spies we planted in Yuan Shao's army, Yuan Shao's Chinese army will have two days to go at most. This time, he Yuan Shao can be said to have poured out of the nest. The soldiers and horses were not the original 300,000, but 350,000. Falsely claimed to be half a million. Led by Yuan Shao himself, the strategists and generals under his command came out, and it seemed that they wanted to take Youzhou directly. Ma Dai said respectfully.

"Oh, three hundred and fifty thousand, that's good news!" Liu Yao couldn't help but smile when he heard this. The more Yuan Shao's army, the more empty the rear became. Then your plan will be better accomplished. Of course, the premise is that you can hold Xiguan. (To be continued......)
