Ge Jiapo, the big tent of the Wuwei Army.

"Wenhe, has the letter to my uncle been delivered?" On the main seat, Li Li saw Jia Xu walking into the big tent, immediately put down the book in his hand, and asked in a harmonious voice.

"See the lord. His subordinates have come to report this matter to the Lord. Jia Xu bowed, and then sat down on the left side of the big tent under Li Li's signal.

After sitting down, Jia Xu said calmly: "Five days ago, my subordinates sent fast horses to the Anyi camp on the orders of the lord, and then asked the fast horses to wait at the edge of the camp, and when General Li Dao convened the generals to discuss major matters, he handed over the letter to General Li Dao. The letter has just been received from the Flying Eagle of the Fine, and the letter has been handed over to General Li Wei, and the generals have left thousands or tens of thousands of soldiers in all the passes to continue to garrison according to the lord's letter, and the whole army has not been dispatched. Now General Li Dao personally led an army of 120,000 troops to Chang'an day and night, and his subordinates estimated that by tomorrow evening at the latest, Li Dao's army would arrive at the city of Chang'an and attack Chang'an in the starry night. ”

"The soldiers are very fast, and my uncle's use of soldiers is really extraordinary!" Li Li smiled and praised when he heard this, then got up and walked to Jia Xu and sat down, and asked with a smile: "The soldiers of the Hugh slaughter camp came day and night, thousands of miles away, and they came to join our army in only six days. Wen He, but did he arrange their accommodation and food? ”

"Hehehe!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "My lord, everything is still settled. The subordinates had prepared in advance and set up tents for them, and it happened that now that the weather is getting warmer, there is no need to prepare bedding, which saves a lot of trouble. They arrived last night, and their subordinates arranged food and lodging for them overnight, and now they are still sleeping! ”

"That's good. Wenhe has worked hard, and I am very relieved to have you to help me deal with military affairs. Haha! Li Li said.

Jia Xu said respectfully: "The lord has won the award." These are all subordinate matters, and where the duty lies, how can we be negligent. I can't afford to be praised by my lord. However、、、、、、 General Li Dao's army was about to arrive. The war is about to break out, I don't know if the lord can arrange it? ”

Li Li smiled when he heard this: "It is certain to send troops. Since I have told my uncle to send 50,000 troops, I must fulfill my promise and send troops to attack Chang'an. Wen He seems to have another good plan, and it doesn't hurt to be blunt. ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "The lord is clear, but his subordinates have some ideas. The lord just said that he would send 50,000 troops to attack Chang'an with Li Wei's army, and his subordinates felt that there was no need to send so many soldiers and horses. Our army can send a maximum of 20,000 troops to break through Chang'an, and we must also divide our troops with Li Wei's army to attack the city, let them capture the east gate and the south gate, and our army will attack the west gate and the north gate. Besides. Our army has a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, only 10,000 foot soldiers, and the rest are all light cavalry. What's more, the lord did not think of occupying Chang'an. Therefore, there is no need to go all out to attack the city.

The lord doesn't want to compete with General Li Wei for Chang'an City, but Yi Wu is right under our noses. This place is definitely not to be missed. More than ninety percent of Dong Xiangguo's life savings and the gold and silver of the Luoyang Palace are hidden in Yiwu. Therefore, the subordinates implored the lord to take down Yi Wu. Once Yi Wu is in our hands, it is equivalent to getting nearly a hundred years of money and grain accumulation from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and within ten years, even if the states and counties of Xiliang do not harvest, our army will be safe and sound, and it can further develop and grow. Therefore, Yi Wu is very important. It must not fall into the hands of other generals! ”

"Hehehe! Wenhe, you don't have to hide it, you just say that Yi Wu can't fall into the hands of my uncle! Li Li said with a smile. However, he then asked solemnly: "Wenhe, you said that Yi Wu can't fall into the hands of my uncle. Are you worried that after he gets Yi Wu's money and food, he will turn to fight me? You can say bluntly, there are only you and me here, and there is no need to be taboo. ”

Jia Xu pondered for a long time, nodded solemnly and said, "In the words of the lord, his subordinates do have this kind of concern. Since the lord asked his subordinates to speak out, the subordinates trespassed once and boldly admonished. Before his subordinates defected to the lord, they followed General Li Dao for many years and knew his temper and temperament. General Li Dao is brave and good at fighting, proficient in the art of war, and leading the troops to fight is definitely one of the few generals in the world. As for the saying that Dong Xiangguo has the help of Lu Bu to dominate the world, that is just a rhetoric that everyone is not believable.

It is true that General Li Wei can fight well, but he is by no means a wise lord, and he does not have the wisdom to govern the world and the broad-mindedness to know people and be good at their duties. He is suspicious by nature, likes to figure out everything by himself, and does not like to discuss with his generals. As soon as the situation changes, or when he hears some wind and grass, he will be suspicious and guess, even if it is a righteous brother, he will not be able to completely trust. In view of this, his subordinates would leave General Li Dao's account at the beginning and entrust Li Ru to seek the position of squire in the palace for temporary shelter.

Now the lord wants to attack Chang'an with General Li Dao, and when the time comes, he will take the initiative to give up Chang'an and give up the authority of the world to General Li Dao. If the lord is willing to hand over his military power and be willing to be a rich man, General Li Wei may not embarrass the lord. But if the lord does not hand over the military power, the result will be unimaginable. With his subordinates' understanding of Li Dao, after he completely controls Chang'an City and sweeps away the surrounding rebels, he will definitely turn to the main public army when he frees his hands, so as to achieve his goal of dominating Xiliang. This is the heartfelt words of his subordinates, and I ask the Lord to make a clear judgment. ”

After Jia Xu said this, Li Li leaned back in his chair with a stern expression and was silent in thought. After a long time, he muttered in a low voice: "Uncle followed Dong Xiangguo to fight for half his life, and rarely lost, and after forming a righteous alliance with Guo Yan, he was even more invincible, invincible and invincible. At that time, my brother and I were with him, and we went with the army to the north and south, and after each great battle, he would come back to the camp to talk to our brother and tell us what had happened. For seven years, my brother and I grew up with my uncle's army.

Then I began to follow my uncle to the battlefield to fight, and every time I fought a big battle, he had to arrange more than 100 personal soldiers to protect me in advance, for fear that I would be young and reckless and die on the battlefield. In the first battle of Zhongmu County, I was seriously injured and was in a coma for two days and two nights, and my uncle stayed in front of the sickbed until I woke up, and his eyes were full of tears. From that moment on, I made up my mind that I would never fail my uncle's great kindness and treat him as a father in this life.

Only a year has passed, and now our uncle and nephew are facing such a difficult choice. The world is unpredictable, fate makes people! ”

When Jia Xu heard Li Li's words, he was quite moved in his heart, but his expression became more and more nervous. He was very worried that Li Li would be soft-hearted for a while, and considering his relationship with Li Dao's uncle and nephew, he gave up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Li Dao.

That's a big deal!

Xiliang is poor, there are many displaced people in various states and counties, and the war is endless, the people are not able to make a living, and there is a shortage of money and food. Now Yiwu is a heaven-sent granary, enough to supply an army of 300,000 for five years. If it is reasonably distributed and used properly, the money and grain in Yi Wu will be enough for seven or eight years. As long as Xiliang can be pacified as soon as possible, the people's livelihood will be restored in three years, the people will be able to eat their stomachs, and even have some surplus grain, and after five years, the prefectures and counties of Xiliang will be enough to supply the grain and grass needed by the army of two or three hundred thousand. At that time, the people have enough food and clothing, the treasury has enough money and food, and naturally the army can be strong and strong, and the army can collect the Jiyou states in the east, and recover Jingxiang in the south, and then the army will attack the two Huai, and the world is just around the corner.

This is Jia Xu's plan for the Wuwei Army in the next five years. However, this blueprint in his heart has never been mentioned to anyone, and even Li Li does not know the grandeur of Jihua in his heart.

However, Li Li is now unwilling to occupy Chang'an, and is facing the oppression of Li Wei's army, and the situation is worrying. The most important thing is that Li Li himself seems to have been hesitating, and has never said a word of affirmation.

But Jia Xu didn't believe that Li Li had gone to great lengths to mobilize 50,000 Wuwei troops to hide in Gejiapo for a month, just to help Li Dao capture Chang'an. Not only did he not believe it, but even Li Xuan didn't believe it. The two of them discussed in private, Li Li's requisition of troops to Chang'an this time was definitely a big plan and then moved, and the plan was very big. Even if you don't want Chang'an City in the end and give it to Li Dao, you will definitely be able to reorganize the Xiliang army, and even wave the army to pacify Xiliang. But this is just a subjective conjecture on the part of him and Li Xuan, and he has never received a positive and affirmative answer from Li Li.

After pondering for a while, Jia Xu said solemnly to Li Li: "Lord, your subordinates can understand the relationship between you and General Li Wei's uncle and nephew, but your subordinates do not approve of the lord's approach. General Li Wei was loyal to Dong Xiangguo before, because Dong Xiangguo was a strong man in the world and was able to lead the Xiliang army to achieve great things. Now, if the lord gives up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to General Li Dao, his subordinates dare to assert that General Li Dao will not be able to achieve great things in the end, and will even lead to the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan. At that time, it will be difficult for the lord to be alone, and he will inevitably be implicated, and I am afraid that he will not be able to protect himself.

Therefore, his subordinates believed that the lord wanted to give Chang'an to General Li Dao and the Son of Heaven to him, all of which were okay. But these must be obtained by the lord first, and then handed over to General Li Dao. In this way, the lord is not only worthy of the nurturing grace of General Li Dao, but also establishes a strong prestige in the Xiliang army, and General Li Dao will then be grateful to the lord. If the lord can take the opportunity to incorporate the Xiliang Army, even if it is a part of it, then it will be worth it for me to wait for this time to go to the army. This is the best way to go! In the future, once Chang'an changes, the lord can wave his army into Chang'an again, and everything will be logical. The subordinates have the courage to admonish, please think twice. ”

"Well, just do as you say." Li Li replied listlessly and casually, and then ordered Jia Xu: "Jia Xu listens to the order, from today onwards, I will hand over all 50,000 Wuwei troops to you, how to deploy troops, you decide!" If you encounter a tricky matter, you can discuss it with Yuan Zhong, and you don't have to report it to me. Go, I've been feeling cold lately, and I still need to rest for a few days. ”

After speaking, Li Li didn't wait for Jia Xu to answer, then got up and walked out of the big tent and walked straight to the backyard.

Seeing Li Li's figure leave, Jia Xu waved his hand at the lord with a smile on his face, and muttered to himself: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord!" When he had finished speaking, he turned away from the tent with an extremely brisk step. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
