Chapter 158: The rebels retreat red]

Compared to Lou Shan’s view, Han Sui recognized Bian Zhang more and left Jia Rong behind the army, which was really a huge hidden danger.

Han Sui said: "I think this plan is feasible. Jia Rong is not a pedantic person. The former's actions in Beidi County have angered the Han Dynasty. The Han emperor sent him to Pingxiang and regarded him as an abandoned son. As long as we promised to value profits, Jia Rong had a great chance of turning against him."

Bian Zhang and Han Sui agreed, and the rest of the generals could only agree. As long as they did not attack Pingxiang, Li Wenhou would have no objection.

That night, more than ten arrows accompanied the night toward the city, but obviously did not have any attack.

After Jia Rong, who was discussing military affairs in the county government office, received the report from the soldiers, he immediately led the generals to the city wall.

Without exception, all of these arrow branches were tied with white cloth strips. When Jia Rong saw these things, he thought that this might be because the rebels wanted to disrupt the morale of the army. This is what they wrote in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

All the white cloth on the arrow was confiscated. Jia Rong lifted one of them casually, looked at it quickly and let out a pleasant laugh, and smiles appeared on the faces of the generals accompanying him.

Jia Rong read the content on the cloth strip to all the generals. The cloth strip was nothing more than some words of persuasion to surrender, but it was quite pleasant. What is the eunuch who took power? As a Han general, the general should take on important tasks and give the great man a bright world.

Jia Rong laughed loudly. Han Sui was too irritable. Just take care of his own affairs, why did he still cheat the royal family? The reason for persuading him was too lame, but it was a real benefit to make him the commander of the coalition. If this is true, Jia Rong really wanted to try it.

Jia Rong dared not trust Han Sui, the old fox, or if he was sold, he might be still counting money for him. Bian Zhang such a good relationship with him was murdered by him, let alone himself.

After Jia Rong said something to defend Pingxiang to the death, he sent the generals back, immediately wrote a letter, and took the letter outside the city while the night was dark.

Han Sui held the documents from the city and refused to speak for a long time. Jia Rong's letter did not indicate any intention of surrendering, nor did he express his determination to resist desperately. The content of the letter was like two friends who had not seen each other for many years talking about family matters, talking about one sentence. After reading the last sentence of the letter, even with Han Sui's calmness, he couldn't help but curse. The letter said that there was little food and grass in the city and hoped that the coalition forces could support a little, and Jia Rong's Xiliang army would help the coalition forces to keep a close eye on the rear and let Han Sui lead the coalition forces to attack the Three Auxiliary Land with confidence. He would never stop it. Moreover, Jia Rong's word was too difficult to recognize. Han Sui looked under the light for a long time before reading the content of the letter.

Taking advantage of the moonlight to look at Pingxiang City, Han Sui's eyes showed deep helplessness. If time allowed, he would definitely spend money with Jia Rong. However, Han Sui could not afford it. The 80,000 army consumed countless food and grass per ri, and there were so many war horses. If one day confronted the Han army in the city, Han Sui's white hair would have a little more.

Now the food in the Han Dynasty has matured and with sufficient food as a backing, the Han Dynasty can deal with them calmly. Although the 80,000 coalition forces are so powerful, in fact, as long as the larger county town does not surrender, it will take a long time to attack. In ancient times, people did not have any grenades or the like to attack the city walls, and they simply rely on simple ladders to climb up the city walls, or they use rushing cars to collide against the city gates. The best way is to cooperate inside and outside.

However, like in Pingxiang City, Jia Rong's management is as strict as possible. Even if there are any details, it is impossible to get close to the city gate. The city gate was completely sealed by a big stone and it cannot be opened in a short time. All the guards of the city gate were Jia Rong's Xiliang army, and there was no doubt about loyalty.

In this way, the coalition forces still had no movement.

Jia Rong was not worried about the tricks of the coalition. He was ordered to be sent to Pingxiang City in the face of danger, and the Emperor of Han did not take his life seriously at all. He just sent him to die. If the coalition forces bypass Pingxiang City and attack other counties, Jia Rong would only be grateful. Now the food and grass in the city are enough to support it for more than a month.

Three more rips, the rebels outside the city finally made a move. Han Sui personally rode a war horse to the city. Of course, the position he was in was a position that the archers could not reach, otherwise Jia Rong would not mind taking him that arrow.

Han Sui laughed and said, "General Jia, don't struggle to die in vain anymore. The nearby Cheng Jixian relative was also captured by our army. Now Pingxiang is an isolated city. I hope General Jia can make a wise choice."

Jia Rong suddenly realized in his heart. No wonder these rebels had not been moved. It turned out that they were going to attack Cheng Ji nearby and went to marry him. But how much does this have to do with him? Jia Rong did not have the worry of being in an isolated city like the ancient generals, because the actions of the rebels outside the city proved that they were more worried than themselves.

"What does it have to do with me? I am hereby ordered by the saint to guard Pingxiang. As long as Pingxiang City is not destroyed, it will be a merit or absurd, hahahaha..." Jia Rong laughed arrogantly after speaking.

Han Sui, who was outside the city, was speechless for a long time. The lines he had thought were useless. Jia Rong's meaning was completely ignored. Faced with such a monster-like Han general, Han Sui felt a headache. Why did the Han Han have such a person? He was not afraid of impeachment by the court officials in front of the Han Emperor. When thinking about the storm that Jia Rong caused in the Han Dynasty, Han Sui was relieved.

Seeing that it was not reasonable, Han Sui left.

Han Sui left 20,000 troops to station outside the city, leading the rest of the troops to head towards Luoyang overnight.

The remaining generals also need to be carefully selected. The rebels have experienced the cunning and bravery of the Han army in the city. When they heard that Han Sui had decided to lead most of the troops to attack Yang, they were unwilling to stay and visit Jia Rongjun who was guarding the city.

Li Wenhou stood up and expressed his willingness to lead his troops to guard Jia Rongjun in the city. Han Sui and others did not doubt that he had him. He agreed that Li Wenhou led 20,000 troops to station here. Li Wenhou's ability to lead troops is obvious to all, but Han Sui would not be so relieved if he knew that Li Wenhou had something to do with Jia Rong in the city.

Compared with Pingxiang City and Lueyang County, the rebels captured it in just three ri. Then they reorganized their troops to Longxian. Dong Zhuo's army, which was heading straight to Longguan, had more than half of the troops from other counties transferred by Jia Rong, and the walls of each county were not so reliable. Some county magistrates even abandoned the city and fled.

Dong Zhuojun in Longguan had received a letter of help from Jia Rong a few days ago. In the face of the old subordinates of Xili, Dong Zhuo attached great importance to it and immediately summoned the generals in the army to discuss.

Li Su expressed his opposition. When Jia Rong left Dong Zhuo's army, Li Su suggested completely depriving Jia Rong of military power. When he heard that Jia Rong was surrounded and asked for help, he was naturally the first to jump out to express his opposition.

Dong Zhuo directly filtered Li Su's opinion. Now Dong Zhuo's army has expanded to 20,000 people, and has a large number of talents. There are countless generals emerging. Today, Dong Zhuo's generals include Hua Xiong, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Hu Zhen, Xu Rong, Guo Si, Li Kui, Duan Wei, etc. Guo Si was able to enter the ranks of generals early because of Jia Rong's appearance.

Hearing that Jia Rong was surrounded by 80,000 rebels in Pingxiang, Guo Si lost his previous depth, and the Yue people said, "Peer Jia is trapped in Pingxiang, and his subordinates are willing to lead the troops to rescue."

Hua Xiong was not willing to be outdone. He had a very good relationship with Jia Rong. In addition, Jia Rong was his nominal lord, so he immediately stood up and said, "I am willing to lead the troops to rescue him."

A faint light flashed in Dong Zhuo's eyes, and it flashed away. He warmly helped the two of them up and said, "Zhiyuan came from our army. Now he is surrounded by Pingxiang. This general is naturally eager to rescue him. The rebels have 100,000 people and 200,000 people. Our army is weak. If we divide the troops, it will inevitably reduce the military strength within the pass, and may be taken advantage of by the rebels."

The generals found that Guo Si was a little unyielding and begged: "I beg the general to agree that even if the enemy has 200,000 troops, they are not afraid of their humble positions. There are only 5,000 troops in Pingxiang City. How can we resist the rebels' 80,000 troops?"

Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly sterned and he shouted: "Guo Si, are you questioning the words of this general?"

Guo Si stood aside in disappointment, and was filled with fear from the heart of Dong Zhuo and the generals of each unit.

Dong Zhuo turned his attention to Li Ru and asked, "I don't know what good ideas do Wen You have?"

Li Ru stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although the rebels are large and powerful, they may not be able to capture Pingxiang. Besides, the rebels consume 100,000 people, and the amount of money and food consumed by each ri is unknown. Moreover, the spy came to report that the rebels did not have much money and food. As long as Jia Xiaowei can resist the rebels' offensive, the rebels will retreat within half a month."

Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Wenyou's words are very reasonable. However, Pingxiang City is short, and there are only five thousand defenders in the city. Can they block the rebels' siege?"

This issue is the most important. The prerequisite for consuming the rebels is that Pingxiang City will not be compromised. Jia Rong, who is in charge of Pingxiang City, was even more ordered. If Jia Rong dared to withdraw his troops without authorization, he would immediately seize his military power and take it to Luoyang, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Han emperor was trying to force Jia Rong to death.

Dong Zhuo was not worried about the news of the rebels' attack. The terrain of Longguan was dangerous. Even if three thousand people guarded here, 80,000 rebels would not be able to easily capture it.

Li Ru's meaning was already very clear. It was consumed by Jia Rong and the rebels, and the attacks that Dong Zhuo's army in Longguan were naturally smaller. Without consuming military power, they could complete the tasks assigned by the Emperor of Han. Why not do it?

After thinking for a long time, Dong Zhuo ordered: "Guo Si, Hua Xiong, you two lead 3,000 people to rescue at night. Be careful on the way!"

Hua Xiong and Guo Si were overjoyed and said, "Thank you, General!"

The generals under the tent did not understand why Dong Zhuo did this, but they did not dare to ask questions. Dong Zhuo has always been the one who made the decision. Even if the military advisor Li Ru could not change it. Even if Li Ru advised him, he would use a tactful way to make Dong Zhuo figure it out.
