【Chapter 227】 The smoke of the battle of the dragon and the tiger is gone
In the afternoon, the sun is warm to the west and the breeze is warm.
"Boom ———"
The sound of horses shaking the earth and shaking came from far and near, and then tens of thousands of Xiliang troops galloped in a fan-shaped manner.
In the blink of an eye, an army of nearly 50,000 surrounded the Wuwei army under Li Li and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's tent on the east bank of the river.
"Ding, ding, ding!"
At the same time as the army surrounded it, there was a crisp sound of gold, which made the officers and men of the two armies who were fighting fiercely stop fighting in unison, and then turned their heads in astonishment to look at their own rear army.
It was only then that the officers and men of the two armies discovered that tens of thousands of troops had appeared around the battlefield at some point, besieging them in the center. Suddenly, the officers and men of the two armies looked surprised, and they couldn't help but search for the location of their respective commanders, hoping that they could give clear instructions.
"The prime minister has an order, ordering the Wuwei Army and the Wolf Cavalry Army to immediately stop fighting and killing, and those who violate it will be killed! In addition, the cavalry general Li Li and Wenhou Lu Bu were summoned to the Taishi Mansion to meet Xiangguo immediately, and there must be no mistake! ”
Just when the officers and men of the two armies looked confused and at a loss, the outer army suddenly gave way to a passage, and then several generals led by Yangwei General Li Wei came out of the crowd and rode their horses to the high platform behind the Wuwei army. Immediately, Li Ru took out an edict as if he had something to do, quickly climbed onto the high platform of the war drums, and read it out loud with his throat pulled.
It is not known whether the edict read by Li Ru is true or false, but Dong Zhuo summoned Li Li and Lu Bu to give an order in the tone of the Son of Heaven, which made Li Li a little surprised. It's just that when he saw that the faces of the Xiliang army were as usual, and even the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu did not have abnormal expressions, he immediately knew it in his heart. Dong Zhuo now claims to be Shang's father, the "Lao Tzu" of the little emperor Liu Xie, and it is "justifiable" to issue an edict in the name of the Son of Heaven.
When Li Ru's voice fell, Li Dao strode into the formation of the two armies. With a long-handled broadsword in his hand, his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers of the two armies like electricity, his expression was solemn, and his body was full of awe-inspiring domineering.
"Where are Wenhou Lu Bu and Xiaocai General Li Li?" The prancing horse stopped in the formation, and Li Dao shouted in a deep voice.
"Da Da Da!" Hearing Li Dao's loud shouts, Li Li put down the drum hammer in his hand, turned over and jumped onto the Golden Lion Beast King's mount, and quickly ran towards Li Dao. In fact, he had long noticed the figure of Li Dao's army, so he specially prepared five hundred archers just now, and at the moment when Li Dao's army surrounded him. Shoot and kill hundreds of panicked wolf cavalry soldiers. It can be regarded as borrowing the power of Li Dao's army, waiting for an opportunity to make some gains and make up for Jin Yiwei's losses.
"The last general has seen the general." Riding a horse in front of Li Dao, Li Li sat on the back of the golden beast and bowed, calling Li Dao with an official title. There is no mention of the relationship between the two uncles and nephews.
Although Xiliangjun knew that he was Li Dao's nephew, the current situation was special. Right and wrong have not yet been determined. It's better to be business-like. lest he lose his identity and face in front of tens of thousands of troops, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Li Wei glanced at Li Li and nodded slightly, looking indifferent, as if he didn't know Li Li. Didn't speak out loud.
"The last general, Zhang Liao, meets General Yangwei!" Immediately after Li Li, Zhang Liao hit his horse and galloped, turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully.
"Where is Wen Hou? Could it be that Wen Hou doesn't want to show up to see me? Li Dao saw that Lu Bu's subordinates would leap forward. Suddenly, the tiger's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Liao's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, and he hurriedly explained: "General, Wen Hou is seriously injured, and it is not suitable to get on the horse and bump, so I specially instructed the last general to come and listen to the general's dispatch." ”
Li Dao bowed slightly, raised his hand to signal Zhang Liao to get up, his brows relaxed, and said loudly: "Since Wen Hou is seriously injured, that's it." ”
"Wen Hou is seriously injured? Who is so bold as to dare to hurt Wen Hou, it is simply lawless, and it must be severely punished! Just as Li Dao's words did not fall, Zhang Ji rushed to Li Dao's side and reprimanded angrily.
"General Zhang Ji, are you talking about me?" Li Li squinted at Zhang Ji and asked in a deep voice.
"Ugh!" Zhang Ji saw the cold light flashing in Li Li's eyes, his expression froze, and then he sneered: "General Xiaocai has misunderstood. Zhang is by no means targeting the general, but just talking about things and saying a fair word. Nothing else. Hey, hey, hey??????"
Li Li smiled when he heard this: "That's fine." Speaking of justice, I don't know who General Zhang Ji thinks is right and who is wrong in this battle, and which side is justice? ”
After Zhang Ji heard this, his expression was stunned, he quickly glanced at the battlefield, and said with a fluttering look in his eyes: "Wen Hou is the righteous son of Xiangguo, but now he is seriously injured?????? The cavalry general should strengthen the control of his generals to prevent them from causing even greater trouble. ”
Li Lijian's eyebrows tightened suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "How Li can control the generals and not work hard Captain Zhang Ji is worried, a certain person knows in his heart. However, Captain Zhang usually has to pay more attention, but now the world is restless, and disasters abound from the mouth, Captain Zhang Ji should take care more! ”
"You?????? You dare to threaten me in front of General Li Dao? Zhang Jise said sharply.
"That's enough, you all shut up!" Li Wei stopped the dispute between Zhang Ji and Li Li in a deep voice, and then raised his voice and said: "General Li Li, Captain Zhang Liao, you must have heard the edict read by Lord Chang Shi clearly. The prime minister ordered Er and others to immediately withdraw their troops. You two carry out your orders now! ”
"Wait!" Zhang Ji glanced at Li Dao rather angrily, and immediately stopped him.
Hearing this, Li Ji looked at Zhang Ji coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Ji, General Ben ordered them to withdraw their troops and make a truce, this is the military order of the Xiangguo. Why did you speak out to stop it? ”
Zhang Ji's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he stiffened his neck and said: "General Yu, the last general is not to prevent them from withdrawing their troops, but to catch the murderer who injured Wen Hou. Does the general think that this is not my own business? ”
After hearing Zhang Ji's words, Li Ji suddenly frowned, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he was silent, quite hesitant.
The reason why Zhang Ji dared to be so tough in front of Li Dao and Li Li's uncle and nephew was because he was sure in his heart that Dong Zhuo would definitely favor Lu Bu this time, and Li Li would inevitably be punished. So he was very confident when he spoke, even if he confronted Li Dao in person. Anyway, he and Li Li have already formed a grudge, and this defeat of Lu Bu is a great opportunity for him to show favor to Lu Bu. If he can form an alliance with Lu Bu, or attach himself to Lu Bu, even if he offends Li Dao and Li Li's uncle and nephew, what is there to fear?
In addition, Zhang Ji also had a conjecture that Dong Zhuo sent him and Li Dao to jointly lead the troops to stop the two armies from fighting, which seemed to be quite meaningful. In his opinion, Dong Zhuo would not have known that he had a grudge with Li Li, but he sent him to lead the army. The intention is obvious, that is, to let him contain Li Dao and protect Wenhou Lu Bu.
In view of this, Zhang Ji made up his mind to stand on Lu Bu's side, and no matter what, he could not let Li Li and his Wuwei army retreat. Otherwise, he would have gone against Dong Zhuo's wishes, and he would lose the great opportunity to make friends with Lu Bu, a potential ally, and he would be suppressed and excluded by the Li family's uncles and nephews in the future, and he would be in a difficult situation.
"Hehehe!" Just as Li Ji was thinking about it, Li Ru rode to Zhang Ji's side with a smile on his horse, and said with a smile: "General Zhang Ji's words are wrong. Which is right and which is wrong between General Xiaocai and Wen Hou, how to deal with it, Xiangguo has his own decision, why do we need to make our own opinions, and work hard. ”
Li Ru's words choked Zhang Ji speechless, his cheeks flushed, and he was embarrassed. And Li Dao and Li Li's uncle and nephew glanced at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
"Is the cavalry general okay?" After Li Ru said goodbye to Zhang Ji, he said to Li Li with a smile.
Li Li couldn't understand how Li Ru could suddenly turn against him, as if he was biased towards him. But the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Li is safe and sound." ”
Li Ru said with a smile: "General Xiaocai has seen the outside. In two days, you will marry Wanmei, and you will be my brother-in-law at that time, the same family, why be so polite. Brother-in-law, do you think so? ”
"Hehehe! What my brother-in-law said was very true. The younger brother was reckless, which made the brother-in-law smile. Li Li said.
"Don't get in the way, you and I are brothers-in-law, why be formal." Li Ru said with a smile.
Immediately, Li Ru turned his head and said to Li Dao: "General Li, give the order." Since Wen Hou was wounded, he let the wolf cavalry withdraw first and be escorted back to the city by General Zhang Ji. Please General Zhang Ji must remember that after an hour, you and Wen Hou will go to the Taishi Mansion to restore your life! ”
Hearing this, Li Dao nodded happily and said to Zhang Liao: "Zhang Liao, immediately withdraw your troops and return to the city." Needless to say, there is something to say for Wen Hou to say when he meets Xiangguo! ”
Zhang Liao seemed to want to say something, but before he could say his words, he was blocked back by Li Dao. So he had no choice but to bow down and receive the order, and then immediately beat his horse back to the battle, and commanded the wolf cavalry to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.
"Zhang Ji, lead the people of the headquarters to escort Wen Hou back to the city, there must be no mistake!" Watching the wolf cavalry battalion withdraw its troops, Li Dao ordered Zhang Ji with a serious expression.
"No, the last general will take the order!" Zhang Ji waved his hand, turned around and left, and then waved his big hand, beckoning the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to follow behind the wolf cavalry and walk slowly.
Seeing the wolf cavalry leave the battlefield, Li Li waved to Dian Wei and Teng Yu without a trace. Immediately, Dan saw that the soldiers of the Wuwei Army quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and carried the more than 3,000 corpses and thousands of dead horses left by Lu Bujun to a low-lying place and buried them on the spot.
Li Dao and Li Ru were shocked when they saw Wu Weijun move so quickly, and they couldn't help but lose their voices.
Li Ru smiled and said to Li Li: "Wenchang, the soldiers under your command are really well-trained, and they will not let go of any benefits. ”
After Li Li heard this, his face did not change and he smiled without a heartbeat: "Brother-in-law has won the award." Don't you know, Wuwei County is too poor! Look at the armor of the soldiers under my command, it is too simple, and when I just fought with the wolf cavalry, I suffered a big loss, and I suffered heavy losses! Is there a way for my brother-in-law to get thousands of sets of heavy armor for my little brother? Hundreds of sets are fine, anyway, the more the merrier, the younger brother thanked his brother-in-law first! (To be continued) (To be continued......
