After Dong Zhuo's death, the news of his death spread to all units of the border army within ten days.

Subsequently, thousands of people in Dong Min's department were exterminated by Lu Bu's army, and more than 30,000 people in Xu Rong's department begged to surrender to the imperial court, and obtained Wang Yun's approval to pardon his crimes. The counties around Chang'an heard the wind and surrendered, and they were willing to obey the orders of the imperial court, and for a time the imperial court represented by Wang Yun increased dramatically, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and lived in Chang'an City.

Half a month later, Wang Yun ordered the Fenwei general Lu Bu to lead his headquarters out of the city to exterminate the remnants of the Xiliang army, and the troops were directly aimed at Li Dao, Guo Yan and Duan Xuan's troops stationed on the front line of Anyi and Huayin. During this period, generals such as Li Dao, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou petitioned for surrender, but they were all rejected by Wang Yun, followed by a wanted edict that Emperor Liu Xie would not pardon.

Anyi camp, inside the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Bang! How can this be reasonable, Wang Yun is going to drive out our brothers and kill them all! Li Dao was in the position of the commander, and when he saw the wanted edict from the sentry horse, he slapped the case with a grim face and shouted angrily.

In the big tent, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and other generals who rushed from the Xingyang camp gathered together, and all the generals were angry and gloomy.

"Brothers, Wang Yun has not allowed us to surrender to the imperial court, what should we do now?" Li Wei was furious, got up and walked among the generals, and asked in a deep voice.

Guo Yan said with a face full of indignation: "As soon as Dong Xiang died, Xiliang Ma Teng, Han Sui and others immediately fell to the imperial court, cutting off our way back. In addition, Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others controlled Chang'an, which directly cut off the supply of food and salaries to us. Now we have no way out, no food and grass, and we are in a dilemma. In my opinion, it is better to divide the food and salary in the army among everyone, and everyone should take the gold and silver and go to their own lives! ”

When Li Meng heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Second brother's words are wrong. If I wait to return to the village with the gold and silver, one of the pavilion chiefs will kill us. This is a must-do! Now that we all have heavy troops, since Wang Yun and the others do not allow us to surrender to the imperial court, then we cannot sit idly by. The younger brother is foolish, it is better to lead the army to counterattack Chang'an, and fight with Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others to break the net, it is much better than waiting to be killed! ”

Without waiting for Li Meng's voice to land, Fan Chou, Wang Fang and others echoed loudly and supported Li Meng's strategy of attacking Chang'an.

Zhang Ji and Duan Xuan and other generals were also in a mess at this time, and they were not willing to give up, but they wanted them to hand over their military power. It is categorically unacceptable to bow down and be killed. And Fan Chou's strategy was in their hands, so they happily agreed, and they asked for their lives, willing to send troops to attack Chang'an.

"Good!" Li Dao immediately made a decision. Sitting back in his handsome position, he said in a deep voice: "Now we have 120,000 male soldiers in our hands. Plus the 20,000 horses of the Fan Chou brothers and the 30,000 Huayin garrisons of General Duan Xuan. 170,000 troops. With so many soldiers and horses, how can we let Wang Yunpifu do whatever he wants! The generals listened to the order, immediately ordered all the soldiers and horses, quickly whipped the horses, killed back to Chang'an in the starry night, and captured Chang'an City in one fell swoop! ”

"No. The last general will be ordered! The generals promised loudly.

"Report ———"

"Xiaocai General Li Li sent someone to send an urgent letter, please open it in person!"

Just as the generals in the tent were sharpening their knives and preparing to lead the troops out of the tent to counterattack Chang'an, the soldiers outside the tent rushed into the big tent and handed over the brocade silk letter sent by Li Li.

Li Wei took the letter with a surprised expression. Immediately dismantled and watched, then frowned slightly, and was silent in thought.

"Big brother, what did Wen Chang say in his letter? Wenchang has always been resourceful and brave in battle, and at this time he sent a letter, there must be a good plan! Guo Yan seemed to trust Li Li quite a lot, and said to Li Li with an excited expression.

Li Dao was shocked when he heard this, looked up at the generals in the tent, and muttered: "What the second brother said is good. Wenchang had already expected that the imperial court would not pardon us, and he also knew that we would not sit idly by, so they would inevitably counterattack and counterattack Chang'an. However, in his letter, he said that we must not leave no less than 50,000 troops to guard the border, so that the princes of Kwantung would not take the opportunity to knock on the border. In addition, Wenchang has led 50,000 Wuwei iron cavalry to Chang'an day and night, and agreed to join our army under the city of Chang'an two days later, and then wave the army to attack Chang'an. ”

"Oh, Wenchang's news is so well-informed, and he has led the army to Chang'an at this moment? It's amazing, 50,000 Wuwei Iron Cavalry and we will attack Chang'an, this matter will be done! Haha! Guo Yan took the letter handed by Li Dao, and after reading it at a glance, he looked extremely excited, and said loudly.

In the sound of daxiao, Guo Yan passed Li Li's letter to the other generals and asked them to read them in turn.

"What do you brothers mean to Wenchang?" Li Dao asked aloud with a calm expression.

Guo Yan said with a smile: "Big brother, Wenchang's letter came at the right time, with a long-term vision, in one word. If we withdraw all the troops to attack Chang'an, then the passes we are currently stationed in will be undefended, and if the Kwantung princes take advantage of the situation to attack, then even if we capture Chang'an, we will be in a worrying situation. Once the pass is lost, all the counties south of the Yellow River will be lost, and even the land east and west of the river will not be able to hold it, so it can only be trapped in Xiliang and sit in a corner, after all, it will be difficult to survive for a long time! ”

Hearing Guo Yan's words, the generals nodded one after another, and at this time he said: "The last general, please stay on the front line of Anyi, strictly guard the pass, please complete the general!" ”

"Hehehe!" Seeing that all the generals had no objections, and Duan Xuan took the initiative to ask Ying to stay behind, Li Wei suddenly smiled.

Immediately, when he was about to agree to Duan Xuan's invitation, he suddenly remembered what Li Li had said to him before: "Duan Xuan is a person with a strategic mind, rigorous military management, and extraordinary martial arts; However, his scheming is too deep, his nature is suspicious, and if he cannot be subdued, he cannot be entrusted with important tasks. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Li Wei said with a smile: "General Duan's martial arts are strong, and his soldiers are brave and good at fighting, this army can't do without you!" In this way, the brothers left the lieutenant general in the army to stay at the garrison to strictly prevent the Kwantung princes from sneaking attack. General Duan led an army of 20,000, our army led an army of 80,000, plus the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Fan Chou brothers, a total of 120,000 troops rushed to Chang'an. I wonder what you brothers think? ”

"No, I'll take the order!" The people in the tent will gladly answer.

Seeing Li Dao arrange it like this, although Duan Xuan was dissatisfied in his heart, he could accept it. At least Huayin City is still in his grasp, and the foundation is still there, so he will not lose his foothold. Except for Duan Xuan, the other generals had no objection to this, leaving the deputy general to guard the pass, which made them feel very relieved.

Immediately, the generals left quickly, transferred troops and strong generals, and prepared to attack Chang'an day and night.

Li Wei asked Guo Yan, Li Meng, Wang Fang and others to mobilize military horses, but he sat alone in the big tent and pondered for a long time.

In his contemplation, he remembered what Li Li said when he was visiting him half a month ago: "If something happens to Dong Xiang, my uncle is expected to replace him and hold the authority of the world." ”

Li Wei didn't take this sentence seriously before, thinking that Li Li was just joking, and he didn't believe it. Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo died so quickly, and most of the Xiliang army fell into the hands of him Li Dao. As long as he can capture Chang'an in one fell swoop, he will be able to hold the power of the world and be a supreme minister, replacing Dong Zhuo's previous prominent position. In this way, Liley's previous statement was verified.

But how did Li Li know that Dong Xiang was going to have an accident, and he said it correctly. Could it be that he can really predict the prophet and anticipate things like a god?

As soon as he thought of this, Li Dao was inexplicably upset and worried. There are all kinds of signs that his nephew Li Li is ambitious and far-sighted, and he is by no means a thing in the pool, let alone a person who has lived under the people for a long time. When Dong Zhuo didn't die, Li Dao didn't think there was anything bad about Li Li's character, but thought that his nephew was young and promising, and he was motivated, which was very good and worthy of his support and encouragement. For this reason, he once encouraged Li Li, saying that he himself was not as talented as his nephew, and if Li Li could glorify his ancestors in the future, he was willing to assist his nephew to achieve a great cause.

Li Dao's remarks are definitely simple encouragement, a kind of spur and encouragement from the elders to the younger generations, just polite, not really willing to succumb to his nephew.

However, the world is unpredictable. As soon as Dong Zhuo died, Li Dao suddenly felt that there was an invisible gap between himself and his nephew Li Li, and the jokes of the past were now facing a severe test. He himself once said that he was willing to assist Li Li to achieve a great cause, but Li Li also made it clear that he was willing to help him take charge of the world and pacify Xiliang.

Now Li Dao keenly feels that the current crisis contains great opportunities, once the crisis is over, he may really be able to control the bull's ear of the world, coerce the Son of Heaven to order not to obey, and hold the authority of the world. But how can the promises he made to Li Li, and the promises he made to him, be fulfilled? Although Li Li was brought up by him, he was not his biological son after all, but just a nephew, and he had his own son Li Shi. Once he takes charge of the world, it will be a great family inheritance, and it will definitely be passed on to his own son Li Shi in the future, not his nephew Li Li. But would Li Li really be willing to assist his uncle?

Relying solely on the strength of the uncles and nephews, Li Dao's soldiers and horses are obviously more than twice as many as Li Li's, and his strength is still above Li Li. But his family knows his own affairs, and Li Dao knows very well that he has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, that is, it looks powerful on the surface, but in fact it is not like that. Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Duan Xuan, Fan Chou and others each had 20,000 or 30,000 horses in their hands, and the real descendants under his Li Dao account were only 40,000 or 50,000 people. In this comparison, his real strength is far less powerful than the Wuwei Army under his nephew Li Li.

It is said that this counterattack on Chang'an, Li Li can lead 50,000 Wuwei iron cavalry to kill back to Chang'an with an order, but he Li Dao still has to negotiate with many generals to send troops, and he can't completely control the hundreds of thousands of Xiliang army. In addition, the Wuwei Army under Li Li is full of elite soldiers and strong generals, with extraordinary combat power, and has not tasted defeat since its formation, with outstanding combat achievements, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Once Chang'an is captured, if Li Li is unwilling to obey his uncle's dispatch, but wants to control the Son of Heaven in his own hands, then what should he Li Dao do? Can he lead a large army to confront the two armies of his nephew Li Li and fight bloodily? If this is the case, will Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Duan Xuan and other generals still obey his orders to fight, and will anyone defect to Li Li's side?

All this is unknown. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
