Chapter Ninety-Two: The Way of Advance and Retreat

"Li Dao Guo Yan is gone?"

Duan Xuan was in the camp west of Hangu Pass, listening to the warriors in Liangzhou armor clenching their fists in response, his face was gloomy and uncertain. With a wave of his hand, the attendant warrior from the imperial court stepped back, turned his head to Jia Xu on the side and asked, "Brother Wenhe, what do you think?" ”

Jia Xu had already determined through some information received privately that Duan Xuan and Li Dao Guo Yan and even Zhang Ji who went to Nanyang were not of the same mind, but he still couldn't figure out why Duan Xuan was so concerned about this matter, and he clenched his fists and said: "The two generals Li Guo just went to the White Horse Temple to meet with General Yan, and at most one day they will return to Hangu Pass, if the general intends to occupy Hangu at this time, he will wave his hand, but after occupying Hangu Pass, it will not be so easy." ”

Duan Zhuo's troops were much stronger than Li Guo and others before Dong Zhuo's death, after all, one of the four lieutenant generals under Dong Zhuo's command, his status was not much different from Niu Fu, not to mention that his old troops were mostly his brothers, Duan Yingshi, one of the three Ming in Liangzhou, and his combat power was not inferior to others at all. But this changed after Li Guo listened to Jia Xu's suggestion to counterattack Chang'an, raised the banner of revenge for Dong Gong, and let Li Guofan and Zhang Si gather from here, almost gathering all the Xiliang generals except Duan Xuan.

Even if those troops around Hangu Pass will be afraid of Duan Xuan's prestige, when Li Guo returns, there will still be endless resistance, if the offensive and defensive situation is easy for a while, General Duan, who was still majestic one moment, will not be in a different place the next moment.

It is easy to occupy the Han Valley, and it is difficult to keep the Han Valley.

Hearing Duan Xuan's intention in Duan Xuan's words after Li Guo left, Jia Xu felt that his position was too dangerous. He originally defected to Duan Xuan's camp to protect his clan and family, but he didn't want to do anything big.

Although he persuaded Duan Xuan in his mouth, he quickly thought about it in his heart. The current situation in Guanzhong is like an invisible hand moving back and forth, Li Guo went to the White Horse Temple, Duan Xuan coveted Hangu Pass, and the warriors under the corridor of the imperial court reported the news, at least involving the emperor, close ministers, foreign generals, and internal generals. And when Jia Xu connected these information in his heart like threading a needle, the answer of that big hand was about to come out - Yanbei!

There are only two possibilities in front of Jia Xu.

Yanbei wants to block the eight passes with Duan Xuan and kill Li Dao Guo Yan; Yanbei wants to control the government and hold the emperor hostage!

The former is very small, the emperor in Hangu Pass is a mountain that is difficult to climb between the two sides in the war, and Li Guo dared to be invited to the White Horse Temple precisely because of such confidence. But once Li Guo has Duan Xuan behind him, this inner ghost? They're dead.

No matter what the situation left for Li Dao and Guo Yan, Jia Xu has already made a judgment of death for the two of them in his heart.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu just wanted to leave the camp quickly, and said to the thoughtful Duan Xuan: "General, do you need Jia to go back to the camp to raise troops and horses to help the general?" ”

Jia Xu is not only a staff member of Li Dao or Duan Xuan, he has the military rank of general An Feng and the civilian successive doctors Zuo Fengyi, Shangshu, and Guanglu, and his subordinates also have thousands of sergeants to serve him.

"Don't worry, Brother Wen He, what do you think of General Yan?"

As soon as Duan Xuan's words came out, Jia Xu only felt cold all over his body, and when he looked out of the tent, he saw mottled figures, and according to the rare armor and sword soldiers, he didn't understand what Duan Xuan was thinking, and concluded that what he was trusting was not human. But his face was as usual: "General Yan? He is located in the north, and the people are happy to welcome the court, which is not bad, why did the general ask him? ”

"The day before yesterday, General Yan sent a letter to save the emperor from going north, and I am willing to help him succeed." Duan Xuan said, and asked with a serious face, "What does General Wenhe think?" Help me, don't help me evil? ”

"Jia Mou handed over his family members to the general's care, and he wanted to help the general succeed with one heart, what are you doing with this?" Jia Xu smiled, but instead walked two steps to Duan Xuan's side and asked in a low voice, "It's just Yan Zhongqing, is it credible?" It is a great good thing to be able to escort the emperor away, but the emperor is in the hands of Yan Zhongqing, how does he want to treat me? Jia doesn't seek profit, but it is enough to ask for peace and nothing. ”

"It's okay to do this, General Zhongqing has the capacity to tolerate people, such as Bai Bo Yang Feng and Zhang Yan of Montenegro, all of whom are under General Yan as princes, and they have never harmed them, but they have received a lot of help. To tell you the truth, Wenhe, Li Dao can't come back! ”

As soon as Duan Xuan's voice fell, some subordinates came from outside the tent, clasped their fists and bowed down: "Report to the general, General Anji sent the edict of the Emperor Mixin, and General Mixuan led the army into Hangu Pass!" ”

"Quickly pass the order, and the two soldiers and horses will enter the pass with a certain seal letter and seize the pass! The rest formed a formation through Hangu and sent a message to General Li Guo, saying that the second general was surrounded in Guanzhong, and quickly dispatched troops and horses out of the customs to rescue! ”

Without Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji, Hangu Guanzhong, Duan Xuan is the largest!

"Brother Wenhe, I want you to help me succeed today, quickly go and pick up the soldiers and horses, go straight to the Guannai with me, and welcome the emperor to drive north to Hedong!"

The incident happened suddenly, and Jia Xu was shocked to realize that Duan Xuan had already arranged everything to come and go, and he specially saw himself in the tent today, but he didn't make up his mind to kill himself! At this moment, Jia Xu decided that if he wanted to live, he must no longer be close to Duan Xuan, this person was afraid of himself. But the more this was the case, the more Jia Xu was not in a hurry to leave, but asked: "General, if the western soldiers are sent east with the strategy of suspicious soldiers, won't General Yan's side be in danger?" ”

But he didn't want Duan Xuan to laugh heroically, applauded and laughed: "If you can't even deal with this bit of Xizhou soldiers, what else does Yan Zhongqing call the hero of the northern soil?" Wenhe doesn't have to worry too much, go and order troops quickly! ”

Jia Xu Yingnuo walked backwards out of the Chinese military tent, looking at the chaotic camp between the soldiers and horses, and his heart was cold. This point of Xizhou soldiers? Inside and outside Hangu Pass, not to mention that 350,000 Liangzhou soldiers from Li Dao Guo Yan's headquarters were stationed, with Duan Xuan's false military order, not to mention that 20,000 Liangzhou people poured out to the east, not to mention that most of Yanbei was unprepared, even if he was fully prepared, how many northern soldiers could he bring to the Central Plains?

In the chaotic battle of the army formation, who in the world can beat the people of Liangzhou who grew up in the war since childhood?

Duan Xuan probably didn't tell the truth to anyone, he didn't want to help Yanbei succeed...... Since he said conclusively that Li Dao would not come back, he must have made an agreement with Yanbei to kill Li Dao in the White Horse Temple. At that time, the Xizhou soldiers rushed to Luoyang, Yanbei died in the battle, and the northern dragons were leaderless, and they could not benefit from competing for the emperor; The Xiliang soldiers in Guanzhong also had no leader, so they could only defect to Duan Xuan, and the emperor was still in Duan Xuan's hands.

Then there is the risk of Hangu Pass and the wealth of Huayin for several years.

Jia Xu, who was standing in the middle of the camp, did not feel the slightest warmth despite being exposed to the fur armor by the sun. There was a letter on his chest, which was sent from Jingzhou by his friend Zhang Xiu from Liangzhou the day before yesterday, saying that his uncle Zhang Ji was going to lead an army to conquer Wancheng, and he felt that he was powerless to help.

His heart is very chaotic, born in this troubled era when this person is like a mustard, how can a Liangzhou man protect himself and protect the clan among the princes who are full of intrigues and tricks?
