Huangfu Song said: "Not bad. However, it is not enough to only defend Yi County. Chang'an City and Hangu Pass are the most important places in Guanzhong, once they are lost, Guanzhong will no longer be owned by the imperial court, and the old man's sin will be great. There are defenders in Hangu Pass, so you can be safe. However, Chang'an City was only garrisoned by the Huya Battalion, and once Jinma Chao bypassed Yixian, Huaili, and Maoling, and led the iron cavalry straight to the empty Chang'an City, the general trend was gone. ”

"Ride, what then?"

After thinking about it in his heart, Huangfu Song said: "The old man has decided that the old man and General Zhou will lead 30,000 infantry troops and 10,000 cavalry troops to defend Chang'an City, and General Bao and General Yuan will each lead 5,000 infantry troops and 2,500 cavalry troops to garrison Yixian and Huaili City. ”

"Yes!" Three generals.

Huangfu Song said: "Remember, no matter what the situation is, if there is no military order from the old man Feigeon, you must not lead the army out of the city, you must not fight with it, and you must not pursue, so as to give Xiliang Tieqi a chance to annihilate our army in the field." ”

Bao Hong said: "In this case, why did the chariot rider equip the two generals with cavalry?" ”

Huangfu Song said: "The battle situation is changing rapidly. The old man guessed that maybe Jin Ma Chao would choose to go deep into Zuo Fengling and kill under Hangu Pass. If he really dares to go so deep into the realm of our army's control, it will be to stretch the supply line. At that time, the two of you can send cavalry out of the city to harass the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and wait for the opportunity to cut off the grain route of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”

"Yes."

"By the way, Che Qi, if Dong Zhongying comes back with the remnants, where will Che Qi arrange him?"

Huangfu Song pondered for a moment and said, "If he gets back, order him to lead the army to garrison Lantian." Lantian is followed by Wuguan, so it's good to let him have more protection for Wuguan. ”

"Yes."

After explaining, Huangfu Song knew that Ma Chao might lead the army to chase after him at any time, so he hurriedly urged the main force of the official army who was tired to retreat to Chang'an City with him.

………………………………………………………

At the same time, Huang Fu Song's Lantian guard, Dong Zhuo, was resting in a dock fort near Yi County. Like Huangfu Song, he was anxiously waiting for his subordinates to come and report the casualties to him.

Finally, Li Ru came and reported: "Father-in-law, the casualties have been counted. Our army now has 7,000 horsemen. ”

Dong Zhuo sat crookedly on the couch, and as soon as he heard "Seven Thousand Rides", he immediately rolled his eyes, his mind was in a trance, and if he was not careful, he fell on his back on the couch.

Li Ru, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Li Meng and others were shocked, and hurriedly rushed up, and saw Dong Zhuo faint after hearing this.

Li Ru hurriedly pinched people, and Dong Zhuo slowly woke up. Dong Zhuo, who woke up, saw everyone's faces and remembered the casualties, and immediately cried loudly: "Our family's life, why is it so bitter!" ”

The subordinates were also speechless, and Dong Zhuo cried: "Our family has been fighting since we were teenagers, and we are already gray, old and decrepit. It was not easy to accumulate this little bit of family foundation, and he lost most of it in this battle! How can this make our family not feel distressed! Woooooo ”

Li Ru hurriedly persuaded: "Father-in-law doesn't have to regret it anymore, the soldier can still accumulate it in the future!" ”

Dong Zhuo's eyes were hazy with tears, he grabbed Li Ru's hand, and said, "When we were in the house before, did you go to persuade Dong Min Wenyou?" ”

Li Ru nodded, and Dong Min said: "Brother, it was indeed Wen You who came to persuade me to raise the tribe behind and keep a distance from my brother's tribe, so I was not ambushed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and later I was able to come to the rescue of your brother who was under siege." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he cried even harder, and cried: "Why is our family so stupid? If Wen You's words, our family can listen to two sentences, and our family will not lose so much! In the end, we have to rely on Wen You to rescue our family, our family is really ashamed! ”

Everyone persuaded one after another, Dong Zhuo suddenly wiped his tears with his cuffs, and said viciously: "It's all that Jin Ma Chao, who actually resorted to such a vicious conspiracy to murder our family, which made our family lose so many soldiers!" Our family swears not to share the sky with Jinma Chao! ”

Everyone was a little helpless, because everyone knew that this war was provoked by Dong Zhuo first. When Huangfu Song was confused by Yang Fu's tricks and was reluctant to start a war with the Xiliang Army, it was Dong Zhuo who always tried his best to provoke Huangfu Song to start a war behind his back. Now that the war has really started, Dong Zhuo blamed Ma Chao for letting him lose his troops, which is somewhat inappropriate.

Dong Zhuofu scolded angrily again: "What's even more hateful is that old man of Huangfu Yizhen!" Boasting about Haikou in front of everyone, it is necessary to learn from the great general Wei Qing, restore the Wugang car to resist the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and then rely on the left and right wings to flank and surround the Xiliang Iron Cavalry together with the Chinese army. How do you know that he is far inferior to Wei Qing's talent, and the horse is not Yi Zhi's slanted single. Just use armor to prevent arrows from shooting, and when you get close to the fire attack, you will burn down this old man's painstaking Wugang car.

This old man never expected that the sparsely armed horses would be so bold as to give an order to the defenders of Sanguan to come and block the reserves! In order to buy two hours of marching time for the Sanguan defenders, Ma Er deliberately asked him to talk, and Huangfu Lao'er didn't realize that he was delaying time until two hours later! So far, what face does Lao Er have to stand in the world? The great general He Jin actually appointed this old man to lead the three auxiliary officers and troops, what a mistake! ”

After scolding, Dong Zhuo sighed again and said, "Forget it." It's come to this point, and it's useless to scold. Our family should hurry up and lead the army to Yixian County, meet with Huangfu Lao'er, and discuss how to deal with Jinmachao in the future. ”

Li Ru smiled: "Why did my father-in-law go to Yixian County to join Huangfu Song?" ”

Dong Zhuo listened to Li Ru's words, hesitated in his heart, and said: "Of course, it is a joint army, otherwise it will give Jin Ma Chao a chance to break through with each other." Especially our family, there are only 7,000 horsemen at the moment, if we meet Xiliang Iron Rider in the wild again, wouldn't it be sent to death? ”

Li Ru said with a smile: "If my father-in-law wants to protect the last seven thousand horses, there may not be a better place to go." ”

Dong Zhuo was even more puzzled and said, "What does Wen You mean? ”

Li Ru said: "Right now, Jin Ma Chao must regard Huangfu Song as a mortal enemy, and he must fight with him again until he completely defeats the official army." If the father-in-law goes to Huangfu Song to listen to it again at this time, wouldn't he be hitting the edge of Jinmachao's Xiliang Iron Cavalry? ”

Dong Zhuo also knew in his heart that Li Ru's words were right, but he still hesitated, and said, "If you don't go to join the official army, where should our family retreat?" ”

Li Ru said: "Sanfu, our army can't stay any longer." In order to keep the last seven thousand horsemen and get rid of the control of the imperial court over his father-in-law, his father-in-law could only escape from Sanfu and go elsewhere. To the south of Sanfu is Hanzhong County in Yizhou, which is separated by the Qinling Mountains from Sanfu, and the trek is difficult; The east of Sanfu is Luoyang, and it can't go; The west of the three auxiliaries is the west cool, and it is impossible to go. Therefore, the father-in-law had no choice but to retreat to the north of Sanfu, that is, Shangjun, Xihe and Shuofang counties in Bingzhou. ”
