In front of the Wuwei army.

Jia Xu saw that Dian Wei actually took the initiative to gamble with Duan Xuan and the two in front of the battle, the expression on his face was a little weird, and a hint of a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he approached Li Li sideways, and said with a soft smile: "I didn't expect that Commander Dian Wei was actually a person with a rough and fine man, and he actually fought with Duan Xuan in front of the battle, and this battle contract seems to be a little unfair!" If Duan Xuan is defeated, he will surrender to the lord; And if the commander is defeated, he will fight and return to the battle. This kind of gambling contract is only seen in Jia's life, and the commander is really a master of the arts, and his momentum is amazing! Hehehe———"

After Li Li heard this, a habitual smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered: "How can it be fair to fight before the battle? If everything has to be equal, why make a bet? Since it is a gambling war, it is natural that the strong make an agreement, and the weak will either respond to the contract or be defeated and die. Dian Wei's martial arts are obviously above Duan Xuan, so he can make a battle contract in a grand manner, and the gamble is that Duan Xuan is lucky, arrogant, and unwilling to lose. This time, Dian Wei is looking for the right person, facing Duan Xuan, who was born in the gate, he proposed such an unequal gambling contract, Duan Xuan will inevitably agree to the gambling contract and face it head-on! ”

"Hehehe!" Jia Xu chuckled and agreed: "It's still the lord who can see through it, and he can see through the arrogance hidden in Duan Xuan's bones at a glance." As the lord said, Duan Xuan has a high morale, and he has always been proud of himself as the queen of the door, and he is the younger brother of Duan Ying, the captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He had been deliberately keeping a distance from many Xiliang generals before, and he was quite maverick, as if he was afraid that others would compare him with Xiliang generals and tarnish his reputation as a famous general of the Duan family. It's a pity that he has already been a subordinate general under Dong Xiangguo, this is an undoubted fact, and in the previous wanted edict of the imperial court, his name Duan Xuan was impressively listed. The edict forced him to follow General Li Dao to lead his troops to counterattack Chang'an, otherwise his own life would not be guaranteed. But his heart was still towards the court. In his heart, he still remembered that his Duan family was the home of famous generals in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he was guarding the honor of the family. This point needs to be carefully considered by the lord to avoid further incidents in the future. ”

"Well, Wen He's a good point." Li Li thought for a while, and said: "The way to control the next is to use people without suspicion, and not to use suspicious people." In our Xiliang place, there are a large number of alien barbarians entrenched in the north, west and southwest, and these border places need a large number of soldiers to garrison. Otherwise, the border is unstable, and we will never be able to live in peace. Duan Xuan is considered to be a rare general in Xiliang who is both civil and military, and it would be a pity to abandon it. Since he has the Liu family in his heart, the counties around Chang'an City are obviously not suitable for him to display his skills. Guarding the border may be the place he should go. ”

After Jia Xu heard this, his eyes flashed. but I was terrified. Just now he was just out of the duty of a subordinate. Only then did he advise Li Li to beware of Duan Xuan, so as not to leave trouble. Unexpectedly, Li Li seemed to have already made an assertion, so as soon as he opened it casually, he sent Duan Xuanfa to the border Rongbian. Li Li's resolute and long-term layout really shocked Jia Xu's heart, and he couldn't help but figure out Li Li's thoughts. and his attitude towards the Son of Heaven and the Liu clan in the future.

However, Li Li's arrangement is obviously very much in line with what Jia Xu thinks, and it is simply a coincidence. And Li Li expressed his heart so bluntly, obviously he wanted to hand over this errand that offended people to him. When it was time to arrange the positions of the generals, he would definitely be the one who recommended Duan Xuan to guard the border.

After combing his thoughts a little, Jia Xu did not complain about this. After all, there are some things that someone must come forward to do, especially the things that the Lord can't pick out in public, then you have to obey them.

——————————————————————

The two armies are in front.

Dian Wei's words angered Duan Xuan, squinting his eyes and asking loudly if Duan Xuan dared to accept the gambling battle.

And Duan Xuan's psychology at this time was exactly as Li Li and Jia Xu expected.

In the face of Dian Wei's battle contract and provocation, Duan Xuan looked a little hesitant, but extremely unwilling. He was born in a famous family, the Duan family was favored by the emperor, and his brother Duan Ying was a captain of the Eastern Han Dynasty more than ten years ago, a very popular minister, and the glory of the ancestors, which made the Duan family proud of their eyebrows, and the children of the family were deeply honored and felt superior. It's a pity that the Duan family didn't have a good time for long, as Duan Ying was framed by a traitor, the Duan family was affected, and then the entire family plummeted, took a sharp turn, and gradually became a common people's home. During the years in the Xiliang Army, he was unwilling to mingle with a group of Xiliang generals, and he was also like leaving Dong Zhuo, secretly accumulating strength, in order to recreate the former glory of the Duan family. It's just that he was given the position of Zhonglang General by Dong Zhuo, but he was not Dong Zhuo's cronies, and he couldn't hold heavy troops like Li Dao and Guo Yan. However, he looked down on Li Guo and the others in his bones, thinking that they were both born in the green forest and grass, and they didn't understand the etiquette of the court at all.

However, as soon as Dong Zhuo died, the situation in the whole world changed dramatically. Li Dao and Guo Yan became the commanders of the Xiliang Army in a blink of an eye, and Wuwei Li Li took advantage of the situation and swept away the forty percent of the soldiers and horses left behind by Dong Zhuo, becoming another big force not inferior to Li Guo and the others.

On the other hand, his pretentious Duan Xuan can only be subordinated to Li Guo and the others, and he is at his disposal. And Li Li, who was once regarded as the son of Huangkou, has rapidly grown into a Cun Zài that makes Duan Xuan look up to him, and he brazenly confronts Li Guo and the others, competing for the ownership of Chang'an and the authority of the world.

In fact, Duan Xuan looked down on Li Dao and Li Li's uncle and nephew. Because this pair of uncles and nephews, when it comes to the roots, they are only from a good family, far less than his Duan Xuan's illustrious background and literary talent.

However, the world makes a difference. Pretentiousness is also just futile, reality is stronger than people.

The cruel reality forced Duan Xuan to obey Li Wei's orders, and he had to be a man with his tail between his legs carefully, and if he was not careful, he would be merged by Li Guo and the others, so that he would have nothing. And the strength of Wuwei Li Li made him even more unreachable, and he was amazed. Moreover, he also knew that not only was he Duan Xuan inferior to Wuwei Li Li, but even Li Guo and the others were jealous of Li Li and the Wuwei Army under his command. Half a month ago, Li Li sent a batch of food and salary, and also ordered the Xiliang Army to strictly maintain military discipline and not to harass the people. At that time, Duan Xuan was stunned in his heart, he saw the great power of Wuwei Li Li for the first time, and with an order, he was able to force arrogant people like Li Dao and Guo Yan to bow down and obey the order.

In addition, Duan Xuan also knew that the Wuwei Army was strong, and there were hundreds of generals under Li Li's command, and there were dozens of generals who could be named. In the battle of Bahe, Lu Bu and the wolf cavalry army that dominated the world were defeated, which made Li Li and the Wuwei army under his command famous all over the world and shocked the entire Xiliang.

Now the two armies are facing each other, and the unknown Tarlu captured Guo Yan in the first battle, which made the morale of the Xiliang army stunned and the army's heart was shaken. But after Duan Xuan came out of the battle, he won two battles in a row, defeating Zhang Liao and Yang Ding successively. If he can continue this impressive record, after this battle, he is expected to replace Guo Yan's position in the army and further strengthen his strength. In time, he is likely to replace Li Dao, take charge of the Xiliang Army, return to the Son of Heaven, and the position of the Third Duke, revitalize the Duan family, and reproduce the scenery of the past.

The ideal is ambitious, but the reality is embarrassing.

Now facing Dian Wei, Duan Xuan felt a little weak in his heart. Just from the first encounter just now, he had a strong sense of crisis coiled in his heart, and it was obvious that Dian Wei's martial arts were above him. In contrast, he was cast a lingering shadow in his heart, suffering from gains and losses, and hesitating and difficult to decide.

The fighting generals before the battle are compared to the martial arts and impromptu reaction ability of the generals on both sides. If he were to be replaced by other generals of the Wuwei Army, such as Zhang Liao and Yang Ding and others before, Duan Xuan would definitely not be afraid to fight, and even wished that there would be a few more such opponents, because these people were all sent to him with achievements, the more the better. However, in the face of Dian Wei, a fierce general under Li Li, he was so worried that he didn't even have a fifty percent chance of winning in his heart. As far as he knew, Dian Wei was the first general to follow Li Li. When Li Li was idle in Chang'an, Dian Wei supported him in the morning and evening, and then followed Li Li to Wuwei County to take office, fighting all the way, and laying down half of Xiliang.

Such a brave person who has experienced a hundred battles, if Dian Wei's ability to fight against him is not strong, I am afraid that no one will believe it, and Duan Xuan will definitely not believe it. Since then, Dian Wei is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a lot of experience in battle, which is equivalent to saying that he has no possibility of winning and will definitely lose.

To fight, or not to fight?

war, then you have to agree to Dian Wei's bet, and you are willing to gamble and lose. Without a fight, in the face of Dian Wei's fierce posture, it would not be easy for Duan Xuan to retreat to his own formation. Once he fled back to his own military formation, it would be equivalent to the two victories he had achieved before coming to naught, and he would even be reprimanded by Li Dao, shamed by the generals and officers in the army, and ruined the good reputation he had accumulated over the years. The result was so terrible that it almost ruined what he was hoping for.

At this moment, Duan Xuan hoped that Li Dao could order him to be recalled and send another general to fight. So he turned his head to look at Li Dao in front of the Le Ma formation in the distance, but found that Li Dao seemed to have a lot of confidence in him and gave him an encouraging look. This was the last thing he wanted to see, but he saw it. He knew why Li Dao didn't call him back to the battle, because he had been deliberately hiding his strength before, but all of it was revealed in this battle, just like Guo Yan before. Guo Yan is Li Wei's sworn brother, but Li Wei watched Guo Yan being captured alive and watched coldly. Guo Yan is still like this, let alone him Duan Xuan?

What now?

Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger.

There is no way to avoid it, there is only a war!

"General Dian, Duan has taken the battle contract! If Duan is defeated, he is willing to surrender to the command of General Xiaocai and let him be driven. However, if Duan is not defeated within a hundred rounds, it is General Dian who has lost. I also ask General Dian to keep his promise and dismount in public and admit defeat! ”

After much deliberation, Duan Xuan finally decided to make an appointment for a battle. He decided that even though Dian Wei's martial arts were better than him, they were not strong enough to defeat him in a hundred rounds. Because Dian Wei is not Lu Bu, even in the face of a peak powerhouse like Lu Bu, he firmly believes that he will not be defeated within sixty rounds. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
