The frost is getting thicker, and the weather is getting colder.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and a new day arrived as scheduled.

In the early morning, the north wind was bitter, everything was silent, and the earth was covered with frost.

Li Li stood at the head of the city in a wide coat, and as far as the eye could see, there was a depression in the Dongyuan City, and there were no pedestrians, only around the city tower and the city guard mansion there was a figure of a soldier walking around.

Tom tom!

A sound of footsteps that were not loud broke the silence of the city tower, and then Guo Jia's figure appeared in Li Li's sight, and quickly lengthened and expanded.

"Huh!" Walking quickly in front of Li Li, Guo Jia's cheeks were red from the cold, he took out a breath of hot air with his hands, warmed his fingers, and then took out a stack of letters from his sleeve and handed it to Li Li.

"This is the handwritten letter of Wenhe Military Division from Hangu Pass, please take a look at it." Explaining the source of the letter softly, Guo Jia didn't say much, took two steps back and stood beside Li Li.

After carefully reading the secret letter, Li Li casually stuffed it into his sleeve, then turned around and walked to the fence, looking at the southeast direction by the railing, as if thinking.

Guo Jia slowly followed behind Li Li and said softly: "According to the scout report, Yuan Shaoqin led more than 400,000 troops to arrive at Sun Ce's former army camp last night, and since the previous army and the Chinese army have been combined into one, a total of 430,000 troops. In addition, Sun Ce was seriously injured and no longer served as a pioneer general, Yuan Shao used his trusted generals Han De and Han Meng's uncle and nephew as the main and deputy vanguards, leading Yuan Shao's headquarters of 50,000 soldiers and horses and Zhang Yang's 20,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 70,000 soldiers and horses, and took the lead in today's fifth watch.

However, after Han De's uncle and nephew set off with their troops, the speed of the march was not fast, and they were expected to arrive at the city at noon. At the same time, half an hour ago, Yuan Shaoqin led the allied army to march out of the village, and the marching speed was even slower. Around the end of the evening, they were able to come to join the front army and approach the city. ”

"Soldiers in the city?" Li Li groaned, turned his head to look at Guo Jia, and said with a smile: "The meaning of Feng Xiao's words is to build Dongyuan City as much as possible, so as not to be besieged by the princes and allies?" ”

"The lord is clear, and this is exactly what Weichen means." Guo Jia nodded in response and said respectfully: "Although the walls of Dongyuan City are thick, very strong, and the terrain is high, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack; But. The Allied forces poured out this time, and the momentum was huge, and it was really difficult to confront them head-on. Therefore, Dongyuan City can no longer be defended, and it cannot be defended, and it must be abandoned. And the lord should evacuate as soon as possible and go to the camp of Anyi.

If you hesitate a little. Once the wind leaks. Yuan Shao and others knew that the lord was still stranded in Dongyuan City, so they would definitely besiege the city regardless of a qiē, and then break through the city at any cost and capture the lord. If the lord is trapped or captured alive by the allies, then why don't we throw a mouse trap and be captured? ”

"Hehehe! Not as strict as you say. Li Li laughed. Shaking his head, he said: "Since three days ago, there are only five people who know that I am still staying in Dongyuan City, you, Zicheng, Yunlong, Wenhe and Gongming. Are the five of you going to leak my whereabouts? ”

After a slight pause, Li Li smiled and said, "So." Don't worry about me, don't be so nervous. The air is good in the early morning, the cold hits, and it is very refreshing, and going out for a walk at this time can make the brain more awake. Therefore, Feng Xiaoda does not have to worry about my safety, although there are many princes and alliances, but in my opinion, there is nothing to fear.

However, this time the vanguard of the Allied forces was replaced by Yuan Shao's cronies, which was somewhat unexpected to me. I originally thought that after Sun Ce was seriously injured, the allies would let Lu Bu lead the men and horses of the headquarters to serve as the vanguard of the front army, but I didn't expect it to be Han De and Han Meng's uncle and nephew. In fact, Lu Bu is definitely the best candidate for the pioneer general, if I were Yuan Shao, I would use Lu Bu as a pioneer. With such a good fierce general abandoned, I wonder if Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are frozen in their brains? Hehehe! ”

Guo Jia laughed when he heard this, and said happily: "What the lord said is very true, this matter is indeed a little strange. But if you think about it, it's not hard to understand. According to a detailed report, the relationship between the various princes of the alliance is very delicate, and they all have suspicions for each other. For example, Lu Bu and Cao Cao are fighting for Yanzhou, Zhang Yang has also teamed up with Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao's Dongjun before, Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao have always had a grudge, Zhang Yan has fought several times with Yuan Shao and Lu Bu, and so on. These people are united, although they all want to destroy our Xiliang army, but they are also wary of each other, for fear that they will be accidentally calculated by others, just like the White Wave Army, and the whole army will be wiped out inexplicably. ”

Li Li smiled and said sarcastically: "These princes have a grudge against each other, and they have fought you to the death, so if you want them to unite as one, it is tantamount to a fool's dream!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Li's words changed sharply: "But these guys are extraordinarily united this time, and they can actually put aside their grudges for the time being, for fear that I will send troops to eliminate them one by one, so they will unite in advance to strike first, in an attempt to severely damage or completely destroy our Xiliang army." This alone shows that these people are not simple, they are very clear about the truth of cold lips and teeth, and their knowledge is extraordinary. ”

"What the lord said is very true." Guo Jia nodded in agreement, and said thoughtfully: "These princes of this alliance are the targets of our army's upcoming crusade, especially Zhang Yang in Hanoi and Lu Bu and Cao Cao in Yanzhou, who are always under the strong front of our army. As for Yuan Shaomo of Jizhou, the reason why he spent so much money and grain to raise the alliance was that his original intention was to try to dominate the Central Plains. However, if you want to achieve this goal, you must first get rid of our Xiliang army, otherwise as long as our Xiliang army is still there, he will not only not be able to realize his desire to dominate the Central Plains, but will most likely be destroyed by our army.

In contrast, among these princes, only the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan's purpose of sending troops is somewhat unpredictable and quite strange. Before that, we had nothing to do with the Black Mountain thieves, and even if there was a grudge, it was a matter of Dong Zhuo's period, and it had nothing to do with us. However, he sent 80,000 troops this time, including nearly 10,000 of the most elite soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, which means that this time the Montenegrin Army almost poured out of the nest and took out all the family resources. With such a crowd pouring out, what does Zhang Yan want to do? Could it be that he wants to get out of Montenegro and grab a piece of territory in Sili or Xiliang again? ”

Listening to Guo Jia's words, a treacherous light flashed in Li Li's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a habitual smile.

"Bonghyo doesn't have to guess. Anyway, these princes are not good-looking characters, they are all cunning and cunning, and they have a bad stomach. Instead of speculating about their intentions, it is better to think about the war in front of you. No matter what purpose they have in coming to the alliance, they have to rely on strength to achieve it in the end. The conspiracy is powerful, but the battle on the battlefield is still relied on to fight with real knives and guns. Any conspiracy needs strength to achieve, and if the strength is too poor, no matter how good the calculation is, it will still be in vain in the end. Li Li chuckled.

Guo Jia nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "The lord is high-minded. The struggle for hegemony in troubled times is not as strong as the battle in the court, and the conspiracy and trickery may be strong for a while, but in order to seek the world and take charge of the country, in the end, you have to fight and conquer with real swords and guns. Taking a step back, intrigue can even take power. But after all, the foundation is unstable, and it is difficult to last long; Just like Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty, although he sought the throne, it was short-lived, and then he was overthrown. Raid the house and destroy the nine clans, and there is no place to bury them. ”

Li Li was shocked. Shen said: "Feng Xiao's words are quite insightful. Seems to mean something else? ”

"The lord is wise, I want to know what Weichen wants to say." Guo Jia looked at Li Li and smiled indifferently.

Li Li bowed slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's too early to say at this time, and we'll see in the future." Let's go, I'll invite Bonghyo to have breakfast today. Then they returned to Anyi together. ”

After speaking, Li Li turned around and left the city tower and walked towards the city guard's mansion, Guo Jia followed, and said as he walked: "Weichen is unknown. Please also ask the lord to make it clear. The leaders of the White Waves, Han Xian and Yang Feng, were both treacherous people, so why didn't the lord behead them for public display, but instead accepted them and gave them the position of Zhonglang General? In the past few days, the generals of the Japanese army have discussed one after another, and they are quite angry about this, but the lord Chrysostom said that they dare not disobey. ”

Hearing this, Li Li slowly stopped, turned to look at Guo Jia, and said softly with a calm expression: "It's not a pity that Han Xian and Yang Feng died, but now is not the best time to kill them, after all, there are still more than 20,000 Bai Bo troops in the prisoner of war camp. Once I behead Han and Yang, these soldiers will inevitably die and be sad, and I am afraid that I will kill them together; Even if you don't die for the time being, you will definitely have concerns. If so, what is the use of me asking for these surrenders? ”

"Wechen understood." Guo Jia said happily: "The lord's intention is to leave Han Xian and Yang Feng alive and give them official positions, in fact, it is not to fancy the talents of the two of them, but to set a benchmark, so that many Bai Bo soldiers can see the hope of life and quickly win the hearts of the people." But 、、、"

Guo Jia wanted to speak and stopped, and then said frankly under Li Li's gaze: "However, with all due respect, Han Xian and Yang Feng are both snobs, greedy and cunning. Even if the lord is kind to them, I am afraid that these two people will not be grateful, let alone faithful; When they encounter something profitable, they will rebel. Therefore, I thought that it was indeed too much to promote them if the Lord gave them the position of Zhonglang General, and it was extremely inappropriate to send them to serve in the soldiers of Chang'an County. I'm worried that these two people are not the ones who keep to themselves after all, and they will definitely make waves in Chang'an, if so, there will be trouble! ”

Li Li smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Feng Xiao said before that enclosing Sun Ce is equivalent to raising a tiger, and now I am worried that Han Xian and Yang Feng have two ambitions, and there will be trouble in the future. From this point of view, does Feng Xiao think that my reward for Han and Yang is also a tiger? ”

"This 、、、 Weichen doesn't dare!" Guo Jia's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed down to salute, and asked for sin: "Weichen should not discuss the decision of the lord in vain, it is a loss of duty as a courtier, please punish the lord!" ”

"Hehehe! Bonghyo doesn't have to be like this, I don't mean to blame you. Li Li stretched out his hand to help Guo Jia up, and said with a smile: "Fengxiao may not know yet, I like to discuss things with you the most, because you have a free and straightforward personality and dare to speak out." So, you don't have to be restrained in the future, just speak up boldly and bluntly what you want to say, I, Li Li, have a word first, and I will never punish you for this! ”

"Ugh! Weichen was frightened, thank you to the lord Yaliang Haihan. Guo Jia said with a stunned expression.

Li Li shook his head with a smile and said, "It seems that if I don't tell you the truth, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to let go." Well, since you want to know why, I'll sue you. As for the arrangement of Han Xian and Yang Feng, as you said, I am raising tigers for trouble! ”

"Ahh 、、、 why is that? Guo Jia exclaimed.

Li Li turned his head to look around, and then whispered mysteriously: "Feng Xiao can know, but anyone who dares to raise tigers is usually not afraid of tigers, even if the tiger suddenly becomes ferocious one day, he can subdue the tiger he feeds, and even get rid of it." In addition, every tiger keeper must have a purpose, otherwise who would feed the tiger for no reason? Hahaha! ”

After speaking, Li Li turned around and left, laughing heartily as he walked, and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Does raising a tiger be able to subdue a tiger, it seems to make some sense?" Guo Jia groaned, then looked at Li Li's tall and straight back, and said to himself: "The lord is becoming more and more unfathomable, and it seems that everything is under control. But this is better, only such a heroic lord is worthy of me Guo Fengxiao's sworn follow! ”

After speaking, Guo Jia quickly caught up and followed Li Li's pace towards the city guard's mansion.

"Boom ———!"

The sound of huge rumbling horses' hooves came all over the world, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains, and the entire Dongyuan City seemed to be shaken slightly.

At this moment, the sun is setting westward, and in the evening, the entire Dongyuan City was surrounded by an army of 70,000 led by Han De and Han Meng's uncle and nephew as early as noon, and Yuan Shao led hundreds of thousands of troops to the city at this time. Suddenly, the barren hills outside the city, which were originally very spacious, suddenly became crowded, crowds of people, people were boiling, the neighing of horses resounded in the sky, and a radius of dozens of miles was all shrouded in the hustle and bustle.

"Drive——— dada!" Seeing Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and the princes from all walks of life rushing to the south gate, Han De and Han Meng's two generals hurriedly beat their horses to meet them.

"The last will meet the lord!"

"Well, that's it, get up." After Le Ma stopped, Yuan Shao waved his hand to signal Han De and Han Meng to get up, and then raised his eyes to look at Dongyuan City, where the city gate was closed.

Suddenly, Yuan Shao frowned slightly, looked at Han De with a displeased expression, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" With an army of 70,000 in the whole afternoon, can't you even take this small city? ”

"This 、、、 the Lord to quench his wrath." Under Yuan Shao's angry reprimand, the veteran Han De's burly body with a height of eight feet and seven inches instantly became rickety, and he hurriedly confessed, and said respectfully: "Lord Rong, the last general has led the army to the city at noon and immediately attacked the city. However, there were quite a lot of defenders at the head of the city, at least 20,000 defenders, and a large number of rolling logs, stones, fire oil and other things to defend the city, so that our army attacked the city for half an hour but never set foot on the head of the city. In order to avoid too many casualties and fear of an ambush in the city, the last general immediately ordered the army to temporarily stop the siege of the city and wait for the arrival of the lord before making a decision. If the last general fails to break through this city, the blame will not escape, please punish the lord! ”

"Humph!" After snorting coldly, the anger on Yuan Shao's face eased slightly, waved his hand to signal Han De to step aside, and immediately stepped forward and shouted: "Where is the hussar general, Yuan Shao is here, please show up!" ”
