"All the soldiers obeyed the order and retreated to the eastern hills, retreat!"

Just when the three cavalry of Teng Yu, Dian Wei and Ma Chao all rushed into the Xiliang right-wing army formation, Fan Chou, a veteran general sitting on the right wing, suddenly shouted, withdrew from the battlefield with more than 30,000 right-wing Xiliang soldiers, ran to the eastern hills, and then slowly approached the Wuwei Chinese army.

Regarding Fan Chou's move to order the right wing of troops and horses to withdraw from the battlefield, the Wuwei iron cavalry generals who attacked the right flank, including the main general Bo Cai, had been summoned by Fan Yong in advance. Therefore, they did not prevent Fan Chou from leading the army to withdraw from the battlefield, nor did they take the opportunity to cover up, but turned the army around to attack the Xiliang Central Army under the command of Li Wei, trying to take advantage of the low morale of the Xiliang Army to defeat the Xiliang Army in one fell swoop.

Li Wei, who was sitting in the Chinese army, noticed the movement of the right-wing army formation for the first time, and he was immediately so angry that he couldn't kill Fan Chou in person to vent his hatred.

The defection was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the whole army and almost broke the fighting spirit of the whole army. Fortunately, the Huben battalion has been in close contact with the Wuwei Chinese Army, and it can't take care of the great changes in the rear for the time being. However, the withdrawal of the right wing from the battlefield exposed the Chinese army to the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, and the fighting spirit of the Chinese soldiers was also greatly affected, and the morale was low.

This was a precursor to the rout of the whole army.

In fact, before the war, Li Dao was worried that some people in the Xiliang army would have different thoughts and defect to the battle. Therefore, he has been sitting in the Chinese army, and has not ordered the whole army to attack for a long time, and has always been on guard against changes in the army.

Facts have proved that Li Wei's concerns are not suspicious and suspicious, but true. It's just that unexpectedly, he didn't expect Fan Chou to defect, because the person he was guarding against at this time was not Fan Chou, but the five-step snake Duan Xuan and Guo Meng. After Duan Xuan was defeated and captured, Li Wei kept an eye on Guo Meng, for fear that he would defect to the Wuwei army with Guo Yan's troops. Once Guo Meng has a different intention, the result will be a devastating blow to the Xiliang army. Because Guo Yan's troops are more than 30,000 Chinese soldiers and horses around Li Dao.

Careful everywhere and always paying attention to the changes in the position of the generals in the army, Li Dao never dared to act rashly. Now someone finally took the initiative to stand up, but what made Li Wei very embarrassed was that Fan Chou led his troops to defect, but completely disrupted the solid Xiliang army formation. As a result, the situation of the Xiliang Army is worrying, and the Chinese army and the left wing will face a two-sided attack from the Wuwei Iron Cavalry.

Le Ma stopped under the banner of the Chinese army, Li Wei looked at Fan Chou under the eastern hill with his eyes erupting, and then turned his head to look at Zhang Ji who was leading the Huben battalion to attack the Wuwei Chinese army with murderous intent. A series of mutations in today's decisive battle. not only made Li Dao angry, but also made him afraid. All along, he has also been introspective, thinking that he is too suspicious and should not be suspicious of the generals in the army. We should have more trust in them and be more tolerant and generous. Only in this way will it be conducive to the unity, development and growth of the Xiliang Army. But today's scene has changed dramatically. Prove that his previous scruples and suspicions were right.

The Xiliang Army seems to be strong and strong, and there are quite a few generals, but in fact, these generals have their own plans and thoughts, and they have never thought of working together to govern the world together. Whether it is Guo Yan or Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou. Staring at the position on the high platform of the Chang'an Palace one by one, they didn't dare to covet the dragon chair of the Son of Heaven, but the position left by Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and Lu Bu and others was fragrant and sweet in their eyes, and they were eager to try. Impatient.

Li Dao had long seen that the faces and hearts of the generals in the army did not match, and all of them had bad intentions, so he had been careful to guard against these people and deliberately control the Xiliang army. It's a pity that Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others are not good people, they don't leave their hands, they are all scheming people, and they have firmly controlled the soldiers and horses in their hands, so that Li Wei has nothing to do, and he can't find an excuse to merge their subordinates. So the generals of the Xiliang Army seem to live in harmony, all headed by Li Dao, but in fact, they are doing their own things and planning their own futures.

In such a delicate atmosphere, even if Li Dao does not suspect others, others will be wary of him everywhere.

It's really like a person drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing, in the game, can't help himself!

Before this battle, Li Dao did not come up with a good way to deal with the relationship between the generals in the army, even if he racked his brains, there was nothing he could do. However, in the midst of the fighting between the two armies just now and the two armies rushing at this time, he found that it was actually very easy to solve the intricate relationship between the Xiliang generals. In short, it is a way, that is, to force them to obediently bow down to their subordinates with overwhelming strength, hand over the military power in their hands, completely cut off the extravagant hopes in their hearts, and make it difficult for them to protect themselves.

After all, compared with the position of power, one's own life is still important, and if one's life is not guaranteed, everything else is in vain.

It's a pity that he Li Dao doesn't have such overwhelming strength at present, the 170,000 Xiliang army does sound very powerful, but these soldiers and horses are not an army that he can completely control, but an alliance army that the generals of various departments combine for their own interests. Once the benefits are unevenly distributed, this huge alliance army will intrigue and fight and persecute each other, and eventually it will fall apart in a hurry.

This kind of delicate alliance, Li Dao had such concerns before, but he was always unpredictable, unable to determine the thoughts of the generals in the army, thinking that he was suspicious and suspicious. However, in this decisive battle between the two armies, the good, evil, loyalty and treachery of the Xiliang generals were all exposed. This time, he didn't have to think hard, and the calculations of the generals in the army naturally revealed their true intentions in the First World War. Guo Yan is really helpful to him, the big brother who is righteous, Duan Xuan deliberately hides his strength and has ill intentions, Zhang Ji is a snake and mouse at both ends, plotting against each other, and the good old man Fan Chou is not a good character, and he is in a big position.

Seeing that the main generals in the army had their own ghosts, Li Wei was angry and happy. Fortunately, this battle is against his own nephew, even if he loses, it is not a big deal, at least his own life is safe, and he will have the opportunity to lead troops to fight in the future. If this battle is a duel with the Kwantung princes, then the Xiliang army will be completely finished, and it is nothing to fall apart, and under the first battle, the entire Xiliang army is likely to be annihilated and completely annihilated in the dust.

After combing through his mind, Li Wei knew that there was no hope for the Xiliang army to win this battle, but he didn't care about the gains and losses at this time. Losing to his nephew, this is not a shame, in the future, the Li family will shine on the lintel, and he will also have a share of Li Dao, and the position in the court will eventually have a place for him. At this point, he was very sure in his heart, no matter what, Li Li was his own nephew who was brought up by him after all, how could he treat him badly as an uncle. The most important thing is that he Li Dao did not integrate the strength of the Xiliang army, but Li Li had this strength, which was enough to suppress all the generals in the army, so that they did not dare to disobey orders, so they could only bow down and obediently hand over the military power in order to protect themselves.

Thinking about the reason, Li Dao's mentality was completely calm. He didn't expect to win this battle, nor did he covet the temptation to take power in the world, now he just wanted to do what he wanted to do and eradicate the trouble for his nephew. Zhang Jimu was lawless, and the following offenses were committed, which was something that Li Dao would never tolerate. And Fan Chou's defection, coupled with Fan Yong's prestige in the Wuwei Army, after the uncle and nephew joined the Wuwei Army, they have formed a tail-ending trend. This kind of thing, Li Li will be inconvenient to interfere in the future because of the situation, but he, Li Wei, can now take advantage of the big war to wipe it out and prevent future troubles.

After making up his mind, Li Dao finally raised the wolf's kiss sword in his hand and waved his arms: "All the soldiers listen to the order and rush into battle with the general!" Kill ———! ”

With an angry shout, Li Dao rode his horse and took the lead. Behind him, Wang Fang, Guo Meng and other generals immediately led the Chinese army soldiers to rush to the front of the formation, followed closely behind the Huben battalion, and directly took the Wuwei Chinese army.

——————————————————————

Wuwei Chinese Army.

"Lord, my uncle has withdrawn from the battlefield as agreed and is approaching our army!" Under the banner of the Chinese military marshal, Fan Yong galloped to Li Li's side and said happily.

Seeing that Fan Chou was leading more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to quickly approach the rear of his Chinese army in the eastern wilderness, Li Li frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a solemn color. Then he asked Fan Yong in a deep voice: "Second brother, according to the prior agreement, after your uncle defects to the battle, he will join forces with our army's war cavalry to attack the Xiliang Central Army. Why didn't he counterattack the Xiliang Chinese army now, but instead came straight to the rear of our Chinese army with his soldiers and horses? ”

"Ahh This 、、、、、、" Fan Yong was shocked when he heard this, raised his eyes to look at Li Li's expression, but found that Li Li's face was calm, without a trace of joy. Suddenly, he felt bad, and looked sideways at his uncle Fan Chou in the east with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses coming quickly, and for a while he was anxious and didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Jia Xu also stood beside Li Li, he squinted his eyes and looked coldly at Fan Chou's soldiers and horses, and then when he looked back, a cold light was revealed. I only heard him say to Fan Yong: "Second General, at this moment, the two armies are fighting fiercely, and anything can happen." The second general was asked to immediately lead his troops from the rear to meet General Fan Chou, and be sure to dissuade him from approaching the Chinese army. If Fan Chou follows the order, the second general can join forces with him, and then lead his troops to meet the Xiliang Central Army. If General Fan Chou does not respect the order and insists on leading the troops to approach our Chinese army, please be sure to stop him, and if necessary, you can lead the troops to attack! ”

"Well, why did the military advisor say that? Do you suspect that my uncle is a fraudulent surrender and takes advantage of the situation to attack our army? Fan Yong is by no means a foolish person, of course he can hear the meaning of Jia Xu's words. It's just that he didn't believe that his uncle Fan Chou was deceitful, so he was very angry at Jia Xu's speculation, and asked in a deep voice.

Jia Xu didn't care about Fan Yong's angry face, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Li Li's sword eyebrows jumped slightly, so he turned sideways and said to Fan Yong: "The second general doesn't need to be angry, just talk about things and speak the truth." Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons on the battlefield, and people's hearts are unpredictable. At present, when the two armies are in a stalemate, if the middle army of our army is attacked, and there are cavalry of the Huben battalion in front of us, and more than 30,000 Xiliang soldiers in the rear will directly attack the Chinese army, it will be the enemy on the back of the belly, and the situation is very passive. If this is the case, then the situation of our army will also be reversed, and once the Chinese army is broken by the Xiliang army, our army is very likely to fall short. At this critical juncture, please also ask the second general to act cautiously and not to act rashly! —————— (To be continued) (To be continued......
