Chapter 78: Li Dao takes power

Li Ying, who escaped from Changping Temple, hurriedly ran into Li Dao's mansion and explained to Li Dao that Ma Teng Han Sui was about to arrive in Chang'an City.

"What?"

When Li Wei heard that Li Li was dead, and there were only nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the 70,000 army who came back with Li Ying, his face changed greatly.

Li Ying also knelt down suddenly, looked at Li Wei's face, and cried: "Big brother, I really don't blame us this time, this time the family has already appeared their soldiers and horses, which caused us to fail."

"Originally, I took soldiers and horses to help Li Li's boy, but Ma Teng and Han Sui were determined to fight with us, and we couldn't retreat, so we kept fighting, but the soldiers and horses of the family suddenly appeared, and we were defenseless for a while."

Li Wei frowned, and hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers and horses have appeared in the family?"

Li Ying was crying, but suddenly stopped, carefully thinking about the soldiers and horses that appeared in the family at that time, and said, "There are probably more than 20,000."

Li Dao's whole body was shocked, he didn't expect that the family would be able to organize 20,000 troops after being washed by so many forces, how strong the family was.

The family went through the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Zhang Jiao, and the reason why the Yellow Turban thieves declined so quickly was that they were counterattacked by the people and the family at the same time.

The Yellow Turban Army cleaned most of all the families under his command, and later Dong Zhuo and Dong Gong occupied the division again, and after the land of Guanzhong, he squeezed the ability of the family many times.

Li Wei really couldn't imagine that the Guanzhong family could directly pull out 20,000 soldiers and horses, you must know that the terrible thing about the family is that there are no soldiers and horses, but influence and unity.

Li Dao knew that he couldn't do anything to the family now, even if they had already sent troops, he could only appease, Li Dao believed that as long as all their soldiers and horses were destroyed.

The family will not continue to deal with them, and the family does not have the confidence, but Li Wei's eyes showed ruthlessness, and he said to Li Ying: "From now on, you will take 5,000 soldiers and horses to control the palace, don't interfere with the Son of Heaven, but you must pay attention to his whereabouts."

Li Ying also knew that his chance to atone for his sins had come, so he nodded hurriedly.

When Li Wei saw Li Ying go out, he felt a lot more solid in his heart, and asked the soldiers around him to let all the Xiliang generals come.

Li Wei hurriedly brought in Li Huan, Zhang Ji, Li Meng and other Xiliang generals, except for Guo Yan, who had already put all his soldiers and horses, a total of 70,000, into Chang'an City, and had been living in a simple place, and no one was willing to come out.

Li Wei looked at the Xiliang generals who came over, began to summarize the soldiers and horses on his side, and said: "Now, Ma Teng Han Sui already has nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid there will be no soldiers under the gate of Chang'an City tomorrow, what do you think?"

"What?"

"Ma Teng, why do they have so many soldiers and horses?"

Hearing such an inquiry, Li Wei said sadly: "Not long ago, I thought that Li Li and Li Ying had taken 70,000 troops to guard Changpingguan, hoping to block the attack of Ma Teng and Han Sui, who knew that Li Li was dead, Li Ying came back with the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses, and is now camped in the west of Chang'an City."

Zhang Ji was sad, he had a good relationship with Li Li, and felt that he was the best of the younger generation and could inherit Li Ji's position, but he didn't expect to die in the hands of Ma Teng now.

"Could it be that the Xiliang Army has surrendered?"

Hearing Li Dao say this, coupled with Ma Teng's power soaring, then there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses, excluding the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who may be killed in battle, then at least 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers surrender.

For the Xiliang Army, which was once powerful and well-disciplined, there would be no such thing as surrender at all, and now it has only been a long time since such a situation has occurred.

Seeing that the Xiliang generals began to scream, Li Wei suddenly slapped the table and roared: "Everyone, there are now 80,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, plus the Yizhou soldiers and horses who will come from afar, I am afraid it has reached more than 100,000."

"And we need to gather all our soldiers and horses now to fight against the Ma Teng coalition together, otherwise my good days may come to an end."

Li Wei looked at their reactions as he spoke, and saw that they were worried, and he was a little satisfied, but after thinking about it, now in addition to Zhang Ji's 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus his own 100,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 130,000.

Then taking advantage of the danger of the city gate of Chang'an City, even if Ma Teng had tens of thousands of more troops, it would be impossible to break through Chang'an.

But Li Dao just wanted to concentrate all the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang generals on himself and give them glory and wealth himself.

Then in addition to Guo Yan's 70,000 troops, Li Dao also has 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the Son of Heaven is in hand, Li Dao is naturally not afraid of Ma Teng and the family.

When the other generals in Xiliang heard Li Dao say this, they couldn't help but be scared when they remembered the rumors in the past, and they didn't dare to speak out one by one.

Seeing this, Li Ji hurriedly gave Zhang Ji a look, Zhang Ji instantly understood, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "In the past, the reason why Dong Gong was able to lead us from Xiliang on the border to Luoyang all the way to Luoyang and occupy a quarter of the world is that we have a common commander, and now I am willing to add soldiers and horses to Li Wei's command."

The other Xiliang generals all expressed their attitude when they saw Zhang Ji, and they also knew that the soldiers and horses might not come back together, but the soldiers and horses of Li Ji and Zhang Ji had already reached 130,000, and they only had more than 20,000, so they had no right to speak at all.

"I do, too!"

"I believe in General Li Dao!"

Li Dao looked at the soldiers and horses who were willing to join his command, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said firmly: "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely regain the glory of Dong Gong in the past, and the prestige of Xiliang dominating the world."

Zhang Jiwang saw that Li Dao was ambitious, and hoped that he had not made a wrong choice, and now the situation was also urgent, if it weren't for Ma Tenghan, he would have come to attack Chang'an City.

Zhang Ji will not leave to join Li Dao's command, after all, Li Dao is brave and unstrategic, except for martial arts, others are not as good as himself.

Zhang Ji just saw that Li Dao's power was great, and he annexed the soldiers and horses under Fan Su, although Changping watched the first battle, there were many casualties, but there were more than 100,000, Zhang Ji can be said to have chosen Li Dao for the Xiliang army.

At this time, without waiting for Li Wei to deal with Guo Yan, Zhang Ji stood up and said to the Xiliang generals: "Now the forces of all the generals in Xiliang have been concentrated, but Guo Yan has been unwilling to participate and hid in the mansion, what can you do?"

The generals of Xiliang are all brave and strategic, how can there be any way, one by one, you can only look at me, I will look at you, and see who stands up.

In the end, their eyes were all focused on Li Dao, who was smiling and not afraid at all, he already knew what to do.

"Guo Yan is just worried that it is really as the rumors say, I believe that I will kill him and seize his soldiers and horses, I am willing to go to Guo Mansion alone and talk to Guo Yan, hoping to eliminate his worries, so that the Xiliang army can be temporarily gathered."

Li Wei smiled and said such a method, he also happened that other generals had begun to change towards him.

After all, this is also a dangerous thing, Li Ji will not be unaware, but he is still like this, even Zhang Ji frowned, feeling that it is impossible for Li Ji to do this.

Li Wei has always been a cautious person, and he is very afraid of death.

Now he is alone in Guo Yan's mansion, if Guo Yan kills him, then Guo Yan is the first person in the Xiliang army.

But Li Dao's own proposal of such a method is really incredible.
