A few people responded, Hu Che'er took the lead, and the mace danced left and right, and the Qiang people didn't dare to come close at all. The three generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang led the remnants of the Han army to protect Zhang Xiu, Sun Jian, and Zu Mao in the center. Only Hua Xiong's tricks were left, forcing Ma Teng, whose arm was numb by Hu Che'er, to be in a hurry, and had to parry everywhere.

Hua Xiong saw that Zhang Xiu and the others had advanced dozens of steps, so he forced Ma Teng back with a few knives, and then reined in the horse to follow, but Ma Teng did not dare to chase behind, the arm he got was still trembling at this time, obviously Hu Che'er was so powerful with such a stick.

Without Ma Teng's interception, and Hu Che'er opened the way, several people finally successfully got out of the Qiang people's encirclement, and immediately ran towards the small dirt slope of Xu Rong's garrison after identifying the direction.

Later, Beigong Boyu saw that Zhang Xiu and the others had escaped, and he was furious, and he pointed at the horsewhip, but he wanted to order: "Except for leaving some soldiers to continue to strangle the Han soldiers in the encirclement, the rest of the soldiers chased after Zhang Xiu and them." ”

However, Han Sui next to him stopped him and said: "Don't worry, the marshal, we have a lot of soldiers, and the Han army has few soldiers, and the Han army is chasing after me lightly, there will be no food and grass, our army only needs to surround the Han army and wait for them to run out of food." ”

Beigong Boyu heard this, and hurriedly nodded and smiled: "Wen Yue is really a good plan, since this is the case, I will act according to Wen Yue's plan." Then he ordered the herald behind him: "Just order the generals to surround the Han army, and there is no need to rush to kill." ”

"No."

Beigong Boyu's order was quickly conveyed, and after the Qiang people killed the remnants of the Han army in the encirclement, they immediately surrounded the front of the small soil slope with a large army, and Tanma also reported that behind the small soil slope was a river, due to the warm weather in the past few days, the ice and snow of the river had melted, and it was impossible for the army to cross the river and escape, Beigong Boyu was even more happy to hear it, so a large army of Qiang people set up a large camp to surround Dong Zhuo and others.

……

Besides, Hu Che'er and the others escorted Zhang Xiu, Sun Jian and Zu Mao back to the small soil slope, and Zu Mao was directly helped down by Cheng Pu and a few people to heal his injuries, but Zhang Xiu and Sun Jian went to see Dong Zhuo together.

As soon as Dong Zhuo saw Zhang Xiu, he immediately held him up and said, "If there is no Boyuan, I am afraid that even if Zhuo Zhuo can get out of this difficulty, his left and right arms will be broken." ”

Zhang Xiu smiled and said, "The lord praised it." ”

Dong Zhuo said to the generals: "Bo Yuan is brave and brave, and he is the first fierce general under my command. As soon as this remark came out, even Hua Xiong behind Zhang Xiu was not convinced, obviously just after the battle, Zhang Xiu ordered Hua Xiong and all the generals under Dong Zhuo to be convinced.

At this time, Dong Zhuo supported Sun Jian again and said: "If there is no Wentai, I will lose a lot of generals." ”

Sun Jian clenched his fists and replied: "Dong Gong praised it." ”

At this time, Li Ru approached, first waved to Zhang Xiu, thanked Zhang Xiu for saving his life, and then said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, the generals have been fighting for a long time, but they need to rest well. ”

Dong Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and said, "The military advisor is reasonable. Bo Yuan, Wentai, you wait and go down and rest. Then he ordered: "Order the rest of the tribes to keep an eye on the Qiang, and do not let them steal the camp." ”

"No."

……

After Zhang Xiu, Sun Jian and others went down, Dong Zhuo pulled Li Ru into the newly built camp tent and asked Li Ru: "Wen Wei, our army only has three days of food left, and the army of Beigong Boyu is outside, and Zhang Wen's army has not yet arrived, so I am afraid that it will be dangerous this time." ”

Li Ru saw it, but said with a smile: "The lord is worry-free, Confucianism has a strategy to break through, but the generals have been fighting for a day, but this is not the time to break through. ”

Dong Zhuo heard this, nodded happily, and then said to Li Ru: "This time, I didn't listen to Wen Wei's words, but I failed. ”

Li Ru said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, the lord must not take it to heart, and the lord has it this time." ”

Dong Zhuoqi said: "What good do I have? ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Zhou Shen died in battle, and the Northern Army came under the command of the lord. ”

Dong Zhuo heard it, but said with a smile: "Even if the remnants of the Northern Army are under his command, it will not be as great as the loss of our army." ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "Zhou Shen died in battle, and the rest of the generals of the Northern Army need to stay in the Jingshi, so naturally they will not come again, and the imperial court will also send a large army to support the war, the lord only needs to go to the court to dredge one or two, and the elite who came to reinforce will naturally fall under the command of the lord, and Confucianism is here to congratulate the lord." ”

After Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, he said happily: "Isn't it a blessing in disguise? ”

Li Ru nodded with a smile, and then said: "And with Zhang Xiu's performance in this battle, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu has returned to his heart, and Confucianism hereby congratulates the lord on winning a general." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he laughed and said: "What Wen Wei said is very true, getting an embroidery is better than thousands of troops." ”

……

Two days later, in the Qiang camp, Beigong Boyu discussed with the generals, and Ma Teng, who had an outstanding performance in the battle two days ago, was standing behind Han Sui, looking at the dress that he should have become a handsome all the way.

Beigong Boyu said first: "Everyone, I just explored the Malay report, the Han army built a dam at the river to intercept the water, catch fish and shrimp, I am afraid that the Han army has run out of food and grass at this time." He laughed.

Li Wenhou said: "In this way, we can get rid of Dong Zhuo and Zhang Xiu in one fell swoop." ”

Beigong Boyu said with a smile: "Brother Li Xian said it well. Then he turned his head and asked Han Sui, "Brother Han Xian will see when we will send troops." ”

Han Sui replied: "There are about more than 10,000 people in the Han army, even if they catch fish and shrimp for food, they will not last for a few days, we will wait for three more days, and after three days, the commander will order the whole army to attack." ”

Beigong Boyu laughed when he heard this: "What Brother Han Xian said is very true. Then he said to the generals in the account: "The Han army was defeated, only on the eve of the day, and today a banquet will be held, and you will not be drunk and have no home." ”

As soon as Beigong Boyu said this, Ma Teng immediately stepped out and said: "It's not okay to be handsome, but it is easy to be taken advantage of by the Han army at this time." ”

But Han Sui looked at Ma Teng, and then also came out and said, "What Brother Ma Teng said is very true. ”

Beigong Boyu heard it, but said with a smile: "The defeat of the Han army is only on the eve of the day, there is no need to discuss this matter, and we are ordered to go down to set up a banquet, we will not get drunk today." ”

Except for Ma Teng and Han Sui, the rest of the generals shouted happily.

……

In the tent of Dong Zhuo of the Han army, Dong Zhuo said to Li Ru with a smile: "The military advisor is really clever, after building a dam and fishing, Beigong Boyu really thinks that our army has no food." Just now, I visited the Malay newspaper that Beigong Boyu had already set up a banquet in the big tent, ready to celebrate the victory. ”

Li Ru smiled slightly and said: "This plan can only be used on the Hu people, Beigong Boyu is unscrupulous, and he is stubborn and self-serving, and he is proud and complacent when he occasionally wins a small victory, so this Confucian plan can be successful." ”

Dong Zhuo heard this, and laughed: "I have seen the wisdom of Wen Wei, and I will definitely obey Wen Wei's words in the future." ”

Li Ru returned the favor to Dong Zhuo.
