In Chang'an City's Weiyang Palace, in Shangshu Taichung, Li Jue was discussing matters with Guo Si. Ever since Dong Zhuo and Li Ru died, the two followed Jia Xu's plan and took over Chang'an to take control of the Han court. They began their own plundering of power.
trip.
And power can sometimes fundamentally change a person. In the process of eliminating dissidents and fighting for power, two people who were originally close to each other have gradually evolved into two incompatible parties. Like this kind of calm and peaceful person.
The two of them may not be able to remember the last time they discussed something.
"Li Zhiran, what do you think we should do?" In the solemn atmosphere, Guo Bang was the first to be unable to bear it any longer and asked as if he had accidentally asked.
"What should I do?" Li Jue was sitting behind a desk in the center of the chancellery. When he heard the question, he raised his head and asked calmly.
"Don't follow me like this. According to the intelligence, Han Sui will soon be defeated in the hands of Ying Zheng. You can't imagine the situation in Liangzhou by that time! And Xu Rong was killed by that man named Wang Jian.
We have been blocked in Xicheng, and we have not been able to go any further. We have received more than one letter asking for help. What do you mean?" Guo Si slapped the table in front of him with an angry look on his face.
stood up.
Li Jue smiled faintly and said softly without any concern, "Didn't you ask Li Fang to bring 13,000 men there?"
Guo Bang looked disdainful, "Li Zhiran, do you fucking have to pretend to be stupid here with me? You are just a big boss. Even if you are wearing the skin of a big Sima, you are still a piece of shit."
Why are you pretending to be a red-crowned crane? Just tell me whether you want to listen to Xu Rong and take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to fight with that man named Ying, so that you can seize Liangzhou!"
"Crack!"
Li Jue's face turned livid, and he slapped the table in front of him, "Guo Aduo, how dare you scold me?"
"Tch~" Guo Bang curled his lips disdainfully, "Li Zhiran, don't play this trick in front of me. We have been working under Xiang Cheng since we were seventeen years old. It has been twenty years. Who the fuck is this?
Why is the nature of urine unclear?”
"Things that can't be put on the table!" Li Jue snorted coldly. "It's not like you don't know Xu Rong's ability. Then Wang Jian was able to stop his 30,000 elite troops with tens of thousands of new soldiers and surrendered generals, which is enough to show his ability! Even if
We will also send troops to follow up and take down Xicheng, but have you thought about how many men we will lose?"
"Let's talk about the few things under our control. Xu Rong will not talk about it. Zhang Shidu and Niu Bozheng have never been convinced by the two of us in charge of power! If we didn't have many men under our control, maybe those two things could be pointed out.
What happened! Especially the cow
That guy Bo Zheng still has the 3,000 Flying Bear Army left behind by Prime Minister Xiang Cheng. You don’t know the combat power of these people. To be honest, sending troops is not a big deal, but in case of heavy losses, or we send troops on the front foot.
What should we do if these two guys come to Chang'an with their troops?"
"This~"
Guo Bang hesitated for a moment, then muttered, "It shouldn't be the case! After all, we are doing this for everyone's benefit. If we can capture Liangzhou and occupy the entire Yongliang, it will be beneficial to everyone in due time, right?"
"Guo Aduo, when did you become so naive?" Li Jue snorted, leaving Guo Si behind and turned to the guard on the side and asked, "Where did Li Fang lead his army? There is news from Xu Rong.
without?"
The guard hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "General Li arrived at Fufeng the day before yesterday. According to the time, he should have arrived at Yicheng to join General Xu by now! But there is no news from them yet!"
Li Jue had a sullen face and said to Guo Si on the side, "Listen, we entered the boundary of Xicheng the day before yesterday. According to time! There should have been news yesterday, but what was the result? In addition to asking us for soldiers and food
Except when they are active, how do these guys treat us two as the bosses at other times?"
Guo Bang frowned, feeling that Li Jue's words were somewhat reasonable, but he couldn't let go of the opportunity to take over Liangzhou, and he was also a little worried and greedy about what Xu Rong had said in the letter he secretly sent him: "Then
Regardless of the situation in Xu Rong and Liangzhou, once Han Wenyue is defeated and Ying Zheng takes over Liangzhou and his strength greatly increases, will he be in trouble?"
Li Jue hummed and said, "What are you afraid of? Fan Chou is guarding the Lantian front line in Gaoling, Niu Fu and Feixiong Army are guarding the Shaanxi side, and Zhang Ji and his nephew are guarding the Hongnong side! In addition, we have ten men under our own command."
With more than ten thousand soldiers and horses, relying on the strength of Chang'an City, if Ying Zheng really comes to invade the country out of ignorance, we will not be afraid of him!"
"What's more, we both know the situation in Liangzhou. Even if Ying Zheng overthrows Han Sui, it's not that simple to subdue the Qiang people and stabilize Liangzhou. What's more, let alone the whole army to attack Chang'an again?!"
Guo Bang nodded and was about to agree, when suddenly a bodyguard rushed in from outside and shouted in a panic, "Da Sima, General Chariot and Cavalry is in trouble! General Xu Rong has been defeated. Thirty thousand brothers are almost the entire army."
They were destroyed, and now there are only five or six thousand brothers left who are surrounded by Wang Jian's army in Pingyang County, and there is a danger of destruction at any time!"
"What?" Li Jue's expression changed drastically, and Guo Bang's expression was strange! It's all because the slap came so fast!
Li Jue glanced at Guo Si, with an ugly expression on his face and said sternly, "How is it possible? Xu Rong's ability is not like this. By the way, where is Li Fang? Didn't he lead 13,000 men to rendezvous! Where are the others? What does the intelligence say?
of?!"
The guard did not dare to neglect and said quickly, "It was the news from Zhang Tianhu, the captain under General Xu Rong. Wang Jian of Xicheng suddenly received most of the reinforcements and launched a night attack. General Xu was unprepared and collapsed, and he had no choice but to rectify it."
The remnant army retreated to Pingyang County, only to be surrounded by Wang Jian who followed closely behind. When Colonel Zhang came back to rescue, he met General Li Fang, but General Li did not go to Pingyang but continued towards Xicheng!"
Li Jue and Guo Bang were both people who had been leading troops in the army all year round. Naturally, they figured it out immediately when Li Fang could think of it. Knowing that Li Fang was using the strategy of surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Didn't you fucking say it's okay? Now that Xu Rong has been defeated, if the other party is willing, they can continue to lead the army to attack Chang'an at any time. Why don't we send troops?" Guo Si raised his eyebrows and asked.
Li Jue stared at Guo Si, his expression getting more and more ugly, "I didn't know that Xu Rong was so damn useless. With 30,000 Xiliang elites in hand, even if Wang Jian had reinforcements coming, how many would they have? In the end, it would have been a direct night attack."
Collapsed!"
"You're fucking right and reasonable!"
Hearing Li Jue's reasonable rebuttals, Guo Bang was so angry that he wanted to curse. However, thinking of the news about Xu Rong, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "Zhiran, the top priority is to send troops to rescue him as soon as possible."
Xu Rong, by the way, be prepared for Ying Zheng’s attack, and it’s best to see if we can take advantage of the situation and capture Liangzhou directly.”
Li Jue pondered for two seconds, then nodded helplessly and said, "That's all we can do for the time being! But we have to make arrangements for Chang'an before sending troops!"
Having said this, Li Jue thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice to the bodyguard beside him, "Go and order people to continue to inquire about Xu Rong and Li Fang's information. Report as soon as there is any news!"
