Chapter Seventy-Six: A Delaying Tactic

"That means you've agreed to fight us!" Li Xi's face was red, but he still said angrily.

"Alright, alright, let's go! Walk! Lu Guang waved his hand again and again: "Hehehehe, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave, hahahaha!" ”

Li Xi snorted, barely arched his hand as a salute, and then hurriedly ran away, he couldn't run away! Because the clothes in the clothes are already soaked, you can't walk if you don't run!

When Li Xi hurriedly rushed out, Lu Guang Duan Ye and the others finally couldn't bear it, and laughed out loud, can it be funny, Li Xi thought that Lu Guang and the others were children, and actually put forward such a ridiculous condition, that is, Lu Guang was now in a good mood for consecutive battles, plus the tradition of not killing the army, so he let him go.

After laughing easily, Lu Guang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Shimin, look at this Yao Hao, what is he going to do when he sends such a living treasure as Li Xi!" ”

Duan Ye also held back his smile, and said with a straight face: "Under the festival, there must be deception when things are abnormal, this Li Xi came today, it is obviously a provocation, it is nothing more than pretending to be false and confusing us, according to his humble position, Zhang Yecheng has no strength to fight at present, and he must do this as a delaying tactic!" ”

"Delaying the army!" Lu Su had some doubts.

"Yes, it must be a delaying tactic!" Duan Ye said confidently: "Other than that, what other reason can there be? They can't defend Zhangye City, they can't win the field battle, if they don't make any moves, our army will come to the city, put a boulder cannon, and take Zhangye City is just like probing for things, as for the purpose of delaying the army, they have gained time, what else can they do? Could it be ......?"

When Duan Ye said this, he raised his gaze and happened to look at Lu Su, and the two of them thought of a possibility in their hearts at the same time.

"Oh no, they're going to run!" Duan Ye said loudly.

Lu Guang also understood people, and as soon as he heard it, he knew what Duan Ye meant, and he didn't have to discuss it at all, so he immediately said loudly: "Come on, order troops, order troops immediately!" ”

When Lu Guang, Duan Ye and others led the army to hurry to the towering Zhangye City, the city gate was wide open, there were almost no defenders at the head of the city, and the smoke curled in the city, everything was as before.

They have only one place to go, and that is to run.

It turned out that the fundamental purpose of Li Tong sending Li Xi this living treasure was to run to Lu Guang to speak out and brag nonsense, the more outrageous the better, the more ridiculous the better, Li Tong expected that Lu Guang had a very high opinion of himself, and now he was a little arrogant when he won continuously, and he would definitely not take it seriously when he saw a person like Li Xi, and Lu Guang was too conceited, so conceited that he thought that even if Zhang Ye tried his best, he would not be able to defend the city, even if he played some tricks, it didn't matter, but he would not think that Zhang Ye did not intend to defend it at all.

This hand is played beautifully, at least Lu Guang is very unhappy now.

"Alas!" Lu Guang waved his whip angrily: "It's still a step too late, let Yao Hao and the others run away!" ”

Duan Ye was also a little silent. Although it was immediately clear that Li Xi was playing the lowest level of the strategy to delay the army, but what could he do if he saw it, the people still succeeded, and now in the position of Zhangye City, it is obvious that the army has all run away, leaving an empty city for them.

Since coming to this era, although Duan Ye has also encountered threats, and even encountered challenges in his life, at least in terms of calculation, he has never missed it, and Duan Ye has always been very proud of this, but now, Li Xi, a guy who can't get on the table at all, has actually deceived himself with such a clumsy method.

Lu Su looked even more ugly. Although this matter is from the overall situation, in fact, it is not a big deal, how can Zhangye City also be an important city in the Hexi Corridor, after taking Zhangye, half of Liangzhou is already in hand, and half of the tasks have been completed in about two months, and it cannot be said that the results are not good, but Lu Su always feels that he has been tricked by Li Xi, which makes the arrogant Lu Su feel humiliated.

"If you have a chance in the future, you must kill Li Xi, the dog thief, with your own hands!" Lu Su, who has always been gentle and elegant, also gritted his teeth and said.

At this time, several scouts sent into the city also returned, and they hurried to Le Ma waiting at the gate of the city to stop at Lu Guang, saluted and said: "Under the festival, the preliminary investigation has been completed, the people in Zhangye City are normal, but the soldiers and horses are gone, the Taishou Mansion is now empty except for some servants, the seal ribbon has been taken away, the official documents have been hastily burned, and none of the officials have been seen!" ”

Lu Guang's eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that the people in Zhangye City had really run away, but it was useless to think about anything else now, Lu Guang waved his hand and shouted: "Enter the city!" ”

Zhangye, the famous capital of Hexi, fell into the hands of Lu Guang.

Although this is Li Tong's strategic abandonment, but the consequences are still extremely serious, first of all, the three remaining counties of Zhangye County have completely lost the will to resist, the county has been conquered, what is the use of a few counties to resist, so when Lu Guang sent the envoy again, they all honestly handed over the seal letter and surrendered obediently, and Lu Guang thought that they did not surrender at the first time to show that they were still a little loyal in their hearts, and in the end they did not make a senseless resistance to explain that they were also people who knew the times. Such a person Lu Guang thought that he was a really reliable person, so he directly let them continue to serve as the prefectural magistrate, and said that if they had outstanding political achievements in the future, they could also be promoted quickly, and Lu Guang promised to treat them and the original shogunate equally.

Because Zhangye City was abandoned on its own initiative, the people and gentry in the city did not have any rebound, and now the trend is obvious, they will no longer be obsessed with their loyalty to Liang Xi, and after Lu Guang entered the city, he did not pursue it, but timely pacified the people and comforted the old and the young, and also announced a moderate tax reduction, saying that they would improve everyone's life in the future, so Zhangye was easily included in Lu Guang's rule.

A few days later, in addition to leaving a small number of troops in each county, the main force of the LΓΌ army gathered in Zhangye, and they had to discuss in advance what to do next.

But things have changed more than they imagined.

First of all, Zhang Dayu, who has been silent for a long time, in fact, the chaos in Liangzhou, it was this Zhang Dayu who made trouble, he was the son of Tianxi, the last generation of the former Liang Dynasty, and he also had some prestige in the local area, before taking advantage of Lu Guang's army to try to raise troops and regain the land of his ancestors, but because of his average level, his generals and strategists were not good, so even Liang Xi did not get it, after Liang Xi reacted in time and increased troops to garrison Guzang, although Zhang Dayu raised troops to attack, but was beaten to the ground, had to retreat in a corner of Longdong, and at that time Lu Guang had already returned, Liang Xi thought that Zhang Dayu was no longer worried, and it was important to defeat Lu Guang first, so he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he was not afraid that Zhang Dayu would make a big deal.

In fact, Zhang Dayu did not make any trouble in history, but the problem is because of Duan Ye, and many small places in history seem to be different from the past.

Zhang Tianxi, the last monarch of the former Liang, after being captured by the Qin army, Fu Jian did not embarrass him, but still gave him the title of official and rewarded him with gold silk, and he was not bad, after the battle of Weishui in history, Zhang Tianxi took advantage of the chaos to cross the river and ran to the south of the Yangtze River for the rest of his life, but this time it was different, probably Fu Jian was defeated more miserably, and he didn't have the kung fu to care about him for a while, and it was easy to run to the Central Plains The Jin army has quickly sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and the north is in chaos, that Zhang Tianxi went around in a big circle, first ran to Qilu, and then went around to Yecheng for a generation, and then went north out of the pass, Along the prairie and dozens of cronies all the way west, the nomadic Xianbei tribes here were also busy with infighting at this time, and they didn't bother with him at all, and Zhang Tianxi's luck was so good that even the horse thieves were probably on vacation, so he hurried and hurried, and suddenly appeared in Yangwu a few days ago.

At that time, Zhang Dayu, who was worried about the Desheng Road of his 18,000 children in the barracks, almost couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the familiar and old figure appear in front of him, he rubbed and rubbed vigorously, but finally determined that the little old man who was already a little rickety and looked extremely haggard was his father, Zhang Tianxi, who had not seen him for many years.

"Dayu my son!" Zhang Tianxi was also very excited, in the past, when he was still the lord of Liangguo, he looked down on this son, but he didn't expect that this son with mediocre qualifications was the first to raise the banner of righteousness in his homeland, and now although the development is very average, but he persevered until he came back, thinking of this, Zhang Tianxi's eyes were a little moist.

"Father!" Zhang Dayu's nerves have been tied for so long, and now they are finally relaxed, for so long, he has been holding on too hard, he is not a person who likes war and killing, in fact, he likes to live his own little life, Qin Guo actually treats him not badly, but there is no way, he is a descendant of the Zhang family, he has the obligation to throw his head and spill blood for the Zhang family even if there is a glimmer of possibility of recovering his homeland, and he has worked hard for so long, so he has retained a little bit of vitality, and now he finally waited for his father to come back.

When the father and son meet after many years, they naturally have some warmth, but the most important thing at present is to let Zhang Tianxi appear in time to boost the already low morale.

Willing to follow Zhang Dayu at this time, except for a few careerists and speculators, most of them are still affectionate to the Liang State in the past, or people who have received the favor of the Zhang family, although Zhang Tianxi was not a Ming master, but he was basically close to the people, and often went into the people to get close to the people, but due to the limitation of the level, the national strength was not strong, and the civil strife in the previous ten years exhausted the national strength of the Liang State, and was destroyed by the Qin State.

Now although ten years have passed, Zhang Tianxi has also aged a lot, but after all, the general outline is still there, when Zhang Tianxi stood in front of everyone in the leather robe he often wears, that appearance, that tone, and Zhang Tianxi, the king of Liang, ten years ago, are no different.

That's right, our King of Cool, is back.
