In mid-April, Guanzhong, Baling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Ru looked at Li Dao with an indifferent expression, like a madman, and let Li Dao keep screaming and shouting in the big tent.

Li Wei looked at his subordinates standing around, waved his hands and said, "Chang'an City was not burned by me, nor was it ordered by me to be burned. Don't you know? Don't you all have eyes? ”

"General, the general said you burned it." Huangfu Li said in a low voice.

"I didn't burn it!" Li Dao categorically vetoed, "It may be burned by Han Sui and Ma Teng, or it may be burned by Zhao Yun, or it may be that the houses in the city are on fire, in short, I didn't burn it." I burned Chang'an, where do I go? Think about it, too. If I burn Chang'an City, won't I destroy my own back road and become determined to die? ”

"General, the general said that if you don't go to Hedong in person to confess, he will wash Guanzhong in blood, and he will kill Guanzhong to the point that corpses are all over the field and blood is flowing like a river." Huangfu Li said in a panic, "General, you should think carefully. ”

"I don't want to, and I won't promise him. If I go to Hedong, I will die faster, do you think I am an idiot? Li Dao smashed his fist on the case, "I, Li Dao, have been fighting for more than 20 years and have killed countless people, can these few words scare me?" Don't say 100,000 troops, even 200,000, I'm not afraid of him. I want to see if he dares to hit my Beiwu camp! ”

Huangfu Li no longer persuaded and bowed down.

Li Wei let out a long sigh and asked Li Ru, "Wenyou, what should I do now?" ”

Li Ru's eyebrows tightened, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Childish, Chang'an City has been destroyed, and our retreat has been completely cut off. Chang'an City was burned down, and we can't wander around, so if we want to solve the crisis in Guanzhong and solve the problem of survival, we must first solve the problem of where to stay. ”

"Wang Fang, Zhang Ji and Huang Fuhong originally came to persuade you and Guo Yan, but because Chang'an City was destroyed, everyone's survival situation immediately became extremely difficult. In the current situation, even if you shake hands with Guo Yan and make peace, it will be difficult for everyone to live as freely as before, so now for them, the important thing is not to persuade you and Guo Yan, but how to survive. ”

"After the battle between you and Guo Yan Baling, these three people immediately excused themselves on the pretext that the situation had deteriorated, the matter was complicated, and it was not easy to offend both sides, so they did not come for the time being. In fact, it is true that they did not come, and it is true that they waited for the situation to change. They want to see how the situation in Guanzhong evolves and wait for an opportunity to find a way to survive. ”

"There are three major forces in Guanzhong, the general, Yuan Shao and Han Sui Ma Teng, and the purpose of these three parties is to occupy Guanzhong. Among the three major forces, Han Sui and Ma Teng's strength is the weakest, so you don't have to consider it, because they are the weakest, and Xiliang is very barren and has no future. Yuan Shao's strength is stronger than Han Sui and Ma Teng, but it is still very limited. Once we face the tremendous pressure from Hebei, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not hand us over as scapegoats. The general is the strongest, in the past three years, we have also been protected by him, so that we can live in Guanzhong, it was originally our best refuge, but now that Chang'an City is destroyed in our hands, how can the general leave us behind? Although we were also wronged, there is no way to explain this matter. ”

Li Wei was remorseful and sighed again and again. In the end, he asked a little reluctantly: "Wenyou, is there really no way at all?" ”

"Yes!" Li Ru twisted his beard and said.

"What's the solution?" As if grasping a life-saving straw, Li Wei grabbed Li Ru's arm and asked in surprise, "We still have a chance?" ”

Li Ru said calmly: "Although Yuan Shao didn't really send troops to Guanzhong to go north to King Qin, just to seize Guanzhong and prepare for his hegemony, Liu Biao should really want to go north to King Qin." Liu Biao is a member of the royal family, and he sent 30,000 troops north to King Qin, of course, not to help Yuan Shao occupy Guanzhong. We still have more than 20,000 troops in our hands, which is not a weak force. If we are willing to take refuge in Liu Biao, I believe that he is willing to accept us, which will be of great help to him in his next Qinwang operation. ”

"That's right! We can ostensibly take refuge in Liu Biao, Yuan Shao is now in alliance with Liu Biao, and if we take refuge in Liu Biao, he will definitely not fight us. Li Dao's eyes suddenly lit up, he patted the case table excitedly, and smiled happily, "The general wants to wash Guanzhong in blood, haha, let him go and fight Yuan Shao, I'll go." Tell Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, and Huang Fuhong to ask them to come to Baling as soon as possible to discuss the matter of going south to Jingzhou. ”

"Childish, you seem to be taking this matter too simply." Li Ru said slowly, word by word, "Zhao Yun's 24,000 iron cavalry is in Gaoling, and Han Sui's army of Ma Teng Guo Yan is in Fengcheng. As long as we go south, how do you think they will respond? ”

"They want Guanzhong, not us." Li Wei smiled indifferently.

Li Ru asked: "But have you thought about it, who burned Chang'an?" ”

Li Dao Huoran woke up and said, "You mean Yuan Shao? Yuan Shao burned Chang'an? ”

"Don't you believe it? Since Yuan Shao had secret dealings with many scholars in Guanzhong, how could there be no hidden people in Chang'an City? Li Ru sneered, "If Chang'an City was burned by Yuan Shao, then what Yuan Shao wants to do, can't he guess it?" Since Yuan Shao dared to burn Chang'an, of course he wouldn't let us go south to Jingzhou. He's going to put us to death, and you can't see something as simple as that? ”

Of course, Li Dao knew what Li Ru meant, Chang'an City, as the capital of the former Han Dynasty, also had an important position in this dynasty, and the ancestral tombs of the entire Liu family were here. Now that Yuan Shao has burned this Chang'an, isn't it obvious what he wants to do?

Li Dao roared angrily: "Yuan Shao, bastard! I'm going to kill him! ”

"Yuan Shao burned Chang'an, forcing us to a dead end, and forcing Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, Huang Fuhong and others to the point of being at a loss." Li Ru said, "Since he can split us, can't we intensify the contradiction between him and Liu Biao?" Why can't you force Han Sui, Ma Teng, Guo Yan and Zhao Yun to beat them? Why can't you take the opportunity of going south and join forces with Wang Fang, Zhang Ji and Huang Fuhong again to fight against the forces attacking Guanzhong from all sides? ”

Li Wei suddenly calmed down, looked at Li Ru seriously, and asked, "Wen You, do you mean to stay in Guanzhong and not leave?" But then we are in danger and we could be ...... if the situation gets out of hand"

Li Ru sneered: "Only in muddy waters can you touch fish." If the situation in Guanzhong cannot get out of control, how can the general be willing to cross the river? As long as the general crosses the river, Guanzhong will still be ours! ”

"But......" Li Wei felt a pang of fear in his heart, the future development of the situation was confusing, if it was completely out of control...... He didn't dare to think about it, and asked with a reluctant smile, "Wen You, after the armies of all walks of life withdraw from Guanzhong, where will we stay?" ”

"Of course it's Chang'an." Li Ru smiled, "Although Chang'an has been burned, it can be repaired slowly." As long as we survive, everything can be regained. ”

………………

In late April, Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue, who were stationed in Duling, received a secret letter from Li Dao, saying that he was willing to sacrifice Guanzhong, but on the condition that their safety must be guaranteed and they should be allowed to go south to Jingzhou to avoid trouble.

After Yuan Shao and Kuai Yue received the order, they were very happy and hurriedly summoned Peng's subordinates and generals to discuss taking over the affairs of Guanzhong.

"I've already rushed to my lord with an eight-hundred-mile ride." Kuai Yue said excitedly, "Li Wei's decision is too timely. If it is a little later, by the time the general leads his army across the river, it will be too late. ”

"Brother Jingsheng will definitely cheer when he learns the news." Yuan Shao said with a smile, "It's really a big surprise that this operation to enter Guanzhong went so smoothly, thanks to Han Sui, Ma Teng and Guo Yan." Without the battle of Baling, Li Dao would never have thought of sacrificing Guanzhong and going south to Jingzhou. ”

"When I arrived in Nanyang, I immediately killed Li Dao, a rebel." Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou, said angrily, "He dares to burn Chang'an, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

"It's not that simple." Yuan Shao said, "Since he dares to propose to go south to avoid trouble, he must have a perfect strategy." ”

Then he looked at Kuai Yue and asked, "Brother Xenodu, do you look ......at this?"

"Han Sui and Ma Teng are in Huaili, Guo Yan is in Fengcheng, Zhao Yun is in Chiyang, and Wang Fang and Huangfuhong are in Gaoling. Whether it is Li Dao's movement or our northward march to Baling, we will be attacked by them. Li Wei's plan is too naïve. Kuai Yue smiled, "Brother Benchu, should we send someone to Baling to meet this self-righteous General Li Dao Li first?" ”

Yuan Shao nodded again and again, pointed at Xu You and said, "Then please ask Ziyuan to work hard." ”

Xu Yu stood up with a heavy heart and bowed down to receive the order.

After sending away Kuai Yue and Wen Ping and other Jingzhou officials, Yuan Shao immediately ordered Chen Lin to write a letter to Luoyang's frustrated ministers, stop the war in Guanxi, and quickly increase troops in Nanyang to prevent changes in Nanyang.

"The lord is worried that Liu Biao will take the opportunity to take back Nanyang?" Guo Tu asked.

"Liu Biao's thoughts, how can I not know?" Yuan Shao said with a smile, "Li Dao said that he wanted to go to Nanyang, Jingzhou to avoid trouble, and after Liu Biao received the news, he would definitely take the opportunity to lead troops into Nanyang and force me to give him Nanyang." Li Dao said that Nanyang of Jingzhou, he is the pastor of Jingzhou, and of course Nanyang will belong to him. Li Dao's little trick really gave Liu Biao a chance. ”

"Since the lord is unwilling to return Nanyang to Jingzhou, and he is unwilling to turn against Liu Biao because of this matter, it is better to ......" Guo Tuyi looked at Yuan Shao and said in a low voice.

Yuan Shao's smile suddenly narrowed, he snorted unhappily, and said, "Gongzhi, do you think Li Dao really wants to go south to Jingzhou to avoid trouble?" ”

Guo Tu was startled and kept silent.

Yuan Shao looked at the subordinates in the big tent, pointed to the east, and sneered: "The general will let us easily take Guanzhong?" Sober up and prepare for the battle in Guanzhong. Only by winning the Northern Xinjiang Army can we truly occupy Guanzhong. (To be continued.) )
