On the eighth day of the fifth month of the second year of Xingping of the Han Kingdom (195 AD), at dusk, Hongmen Pavilion, the sunset was picturesque.

Lu Bu and Zhao Yun will learn here.

"Fengxian, when did you arrive in Guanzhong?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise, "Aren't you in Jizhou?" ”

"The lord called me here, and I just came day and night without eating or sleeping." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Zhao Yun asked again, "When did you cross the river?" Why didn't I get any news? ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "The lord wants us to walk along the north bank of the Weishui River day and night, we deliberately conceal our whereabouts, of course you don't know." ”

"Xinfeng City has been won?" Jia Xu asked.

"Got it." Lu Bu said, "Tomorrow, General Xu Da will take the army to Xinfeng City to meet us. ”

Jia Xu asked again, "What about the lord?" ”

Lu Bu said: "The lord is in Kansai. ”

"In Kansai?" Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and the generals looked at each other, full of surprise.

………………

On the eighth day of the first month of May, Nanshan Pavilion.

Nanshan Pavilion is located in the middle of Xinfeng City and Zhengcheng, and is eighty miles away from each of the two cities.

After receiving an urgent report from Zhang Ji and Wang Fang, Li Wei immediately ordered the army to stop advancing, and urgently ordered Guo Yan and Huang Fuhong of the rear army to return to Xinfeng City.

Late at night, Guo Yan and Huang Fuhong reported that Xinfeng City was occupied by Lu Bu, the general of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and the army was blocked by Wei Xu, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing on the way back to the city, and the two sides had a short fierce battle. Later, as it was nearly dusk, the two armies immediately withdrew from the battlefield. At present, Guo Yan and Huang Fuhong led the army to be stationed in Weiting, which is forty miles away from Nanshan Pavilion.

Zhang Ji and Wang Fang asked for help again. The siege was hampered due to a serious shortage of troops. In the middle of the night, the reinforcements of the Northern Xinjiang Army approached Zhengcheng one after another, and Zhang Ji and Wang Fang had no choice but to lead the army to retreat twenty miles and station in Huating.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the first month of May, Li Dao, Li Ru and others gathered in the big tent to urgently discuss countermeasures. No one blamed each other anymore, and everyone sat in the big tent with a heavy heart, not saying a word.

"If we had stayed in the Beiwu camp in Baling, this predicament would not have arisen today."

Wang Shuang saw Li Ruduan sitting drowsy behind the desk, and he was a little annoyed. If Li Ru hadn't instigated Li Dao to lead his army south, would Baling have been lost? Will you be in a desperate situation today?

"The same will appear." Li Ru smiled faintly, "Wang Fang, Huang Fuhong and Guo Yan have joined forces, and they will soon join forces with Han Sui and Zhao Yun to attack Baling." We couldn't hold the Beiwu camp, so we could only retreat with Zhang Ji in the direction of Tongguan with the army. It's just that in that case, we are weak, and after being hit head-on by the Northern Xinjiang Army, we scattered and fled, and handed over Guanzhong to the general. ”

"Although we are in a predicament today, the generals have been relieved of their previous suspicions and shaken hands because of Zhao Yun's attack. This has greatly strengthened us. Li Ru rubbed his eyes, slowly spread out the map on the desk, and said, "Generals, please see, our more than 40,000 people are now surrounded by the Northern Xinjiang Army between Weiting, Nanshan Pavilion and Huating, the terrain here is narrow, facing water in the north and mountains in the south, and it is very difficult for the Northern Xinjiang Army to eat us in one bite." So I think we still have a lot of chances to survive. ”

"A chance to survive the dead?" Guo Yan's subordinate general Wu Xi smiled bitterly, "Wen Xiansheng is not joking, right? Our army is not as large as the Northern Xinjiang Army, and there is a serious shortage of grain and grass, and at this moment we are trapped in the mountains and fields with no danger to defend. How long do you think we can hold on? As long as the Northern Frontier Army besieges us for a month, the army will inevitably collapse without a fight. In my opinion......"

He looked at Li Dao, who had a gloomy face, and said cautiously: "Let's follow the general's advice and submit to him." ”

Wang Shuang sneered: "Can the general let our general go?" The general said that the general burned Chang'an. This felony alone can put the general to death, and the general will let us go? You sincerely want us to die, don't you? ”

Wu Xi was shocked, and shook his hand again and again: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I didn't mean that." ”

Li Dao glared at him fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "Use your brains to do things, think about your brothers, and don't just take care of yourself." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Li Ru and asked, "Wen You, how do you survive the death?" ”

"Ask Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, and Han Sui for help." Li Ru shook his drowsy head, tried his best to open a pair of heavy eyelids, and said weakly. He is a man of letters, and his body is not as good as these generals. In the past few days, he has been marching continuously, and he has to help Li Dao deal with various military affairs, and he has hardly slept and is extremely tired.

"Ask Yuan Shao for help?" Li Dao and the generals were puzzled, "Wen You, will Yuan Shao support us?" ”

"Yuan Shao doesn't want to help us." Li Ru slapped his forehead a few times to make him sober as much as possible, "But he doesn't want us to submit to the general." Once we submit to the Great General, the Great General's strength will surely increase rapidly. At that time, even if Yuan Shao occupied Guanzhong, it would be difficult for him to regret the general, and sooner or later he would be defeated, so he ......"

"So Yuan Shao will definitely come over with a large army." Wang Shuang suddenly realized, and slapped his palm on the case, "We and Yuan Shaoli should cooperate with each other, and we will be able to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army and successfully break through." ”

"You think the general is an idiot?" Li Wei scolded, "Didn't he know that Yuan Shao would beat himself?" Also, even if we break through, will Yuan Shao take the opportunity to kill us? Let's not just get out of the tiger's mouth and fall into the wolf's den again, and kill ourselves. ”

Li Dao pointed at Li Ru, and asked with a very melancholy expression: "Wen You, now it's not a matter of whether you can break through, but how to survive and how to continue to occupy Guanzhong." Do you have a better way? ”

"Then let's get through it." Li Ru closed his eyes, slowly leaned on the desk, and said with a yawn, "After a long time, the situation in Guanzhong must change, so let's look for opportunities at that time." Now there is only one way, contact Yuan Shao as soon as possible and let him attack the Northern Frontier Army. ”

Li Wei looked at Li Ru, who was sleeping at the desk, and sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's take a step at a time, it's really not good, everyone will burn the jade and die together." ”

That night, Li Dao ordered more than a dozen highly skilled guards to escort his cronies, crossed the mountains and mountains, and went to Yuan Shao from the Tunbing Dao Pavilion to ask for help.

………………

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Guanzhong, Xinfeng City.

Xu Da convened a meeting of the generals.

At present, the strength of the Northern Xinjiang Army entering Guanzhong one after another is 72,000 cavalry. Zhao Yun, Xun Di, Yan Rou, Zhao Zhao and others rode 24,000 iron horses in Baling. The 18,000 of Lu Bu, Wei Xu, Cao Xing, and Cheng Lian rode in the Hongmen Pavilion and the Opera Pavilion.

The 8,000 troops of Yang Feng and Yu Poison were in Zhengcheng, the 8,000 infantry of Han Xian and Li Le had been stationed in Xinfeng City today, and the 5,000 troops of Henghai General Yu Dayou were responsible for transporting grain, grass, baggage, and camera support on the Weishui River.

"Although our army of more than 70,000 people surrounded the area of Xinfeng City and Zhengcheng with more than 40,000 people and horses of Li Dao and Guo Yan. However, since the 120,000-strong army of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue and Han Sui was eyeing the vicinity of Chang'an, we did not have the ability to encircle and annihilate Li Dao and others for the time being. Guo Jia, the military advisor of the army, pointed to the map very worriedly and said, "Generals, please see, if you take Nanshan Pavilion as the center, Li Dao is now surrounded by us. But if we take Xinfeng City as the center, we are surrounded by Yuan Shao and Li Dao. ”

"In the vicinity of Xinfeng City, we have 24,000 iron cavalry of Zhao Yun and Xun Di, 18,000 iron cavalry of Lu Bu, 8,000 foot soldiers of Han Xian and Li Le, and even if we add Yu Dayou's 5,000 naval troops, the total strength is only 55,000 people. These 55,000 men are currently in the middle of the front and rear attacks of the 160,000-strong army of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue, Han Sui and Li Dao. ”

"Whether we can annihilate the remnants of the Xiliang Army and occupy Guanzhong depends on whether we can successfully defend Xinfeng City." Guo Jia patted the map vigorously, then glanced around at the generals, and said slowly, "According to the lord's request, we will hold on to Xinfeng City for at least a month. ”

Zhao Yun touched his short beard and asked in a low voice, "Fengxiao, where are the armies of Pengju and Changgong?" When did they enter Guanzhong? ”

"The lord took them to Kansai." Guo Jia replied, "Their army will not fight in Guanzhong. ”

"Why?" Zhao Yun asked in surprise, "Our troops are not enough, although more than 70,000 people can annihilate the remnants of the Xiliang army, it is difficult to occupy Guanzhong." ”

"I don't know. With the current strength, it is indeed difficult for us to occupy Guanzhong. Xu Da waved his hand and said, "But if we also recruit the 50,000 troops of Pengju and Changgong into the pass, are you absolutely sure that you will occupy the pass?" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, then looked at each other with Lu Bu, and both shook their heads.

"But we have an advantage." Zhao Yun said, "We have sufficient grain, grass and ordnance, we occupy the first opportunity on the battlefield in Guanzhong, our soldiers are concentric, and the army of Li Dao and Guo Yan is not only full of contradictions but also seriously lacks grain and grass, although the three armies of Yuan Shao, Kuai Yue and Han Sui are not short of food and grass, but each has their own minds." Han Sui must first preserve his strength, and he will not do his best to attack us. Therefore, I believe that as long as the various departments of the Guanzhong battlefield hold each other for a long time, there will inevitably be changes, and our certainty of victory is still very large. Since we are sure of victory, the more troops we have, the greater our certainty. ”

Xu Da nodded and said, "Not bad." But how much will we lose in this battle? After beating all the people, how will Northern Xinjiang, Guanzhong, and Kansai be garrisoned in the future? Could it be that more troops will be drawn from the Jizhou battlefield and rushed thousands of miles to Guanzhong to support? With fewer troops in Jizhou, how will the Central Plains be pacified in the future? ”

The generals looked solemn and silent.

Xu Da stood up, walked to the front of the map, pointed to Luoyang on the map and said: "If we want to win the victory on the Guanzhong battlefield, the key is not the number of troops on both sides on the Guanzhong battlefield, but whether we can take advantage of the weak forces in the Guandong region to quickly enter the Guandong region and occupy Luoyang." ”

There was a sudden alarm in the big tent. (To be continued.) )
