"They really think they are nothing. Well...it's interesting. I don't know how confident they are. Anyway, I want to meet them.
By the way, I have named you General Fenwu to assist General Lu in maintaining the security of the capital. Now that the officials have begun to exercise their powers, your army must do a good job of supporting it. General Li, do you understand?"
Ever since Li Su learned about Xiao Jiang's horror from Lu Bu, he understood that the person in front of him was telling the truth. Think about the Jingguan where the heads of hundreds of thousands of barbarians are piled up. If there is no general who does not have blood for him, so will he.
And don't be afraid of it.
Li Su said:
"The general has thanked the prince. The general will definitely assist General Lu in guarding Chang'an and assist the officials in various ministries to maintain stability."
Xiao Jiang nodded and said seriously:
"General Li's ancestors are Li Xin, the general of Qin, and Li Guang, the flying general of Emperor Wen. The Li family takes faith as its foundation. We hope that General Li will use the faith of his ancestors to make more brilliant achievements in these troubled times."
Li Su's heart trembled. He has been looked down upon by the powerful since he joined the army. Even if his military strength is not much weaker than that of Lu Bu, he has always been a marginal figure in Dong Zhuo's army. Even if he has made great contributions to Dong Zhuo, he has no chance of promotion.
Now he heard a kind of hope from Xiao Jiang. No one had ever known his roots so clearly. Li Su apologized and bowed deeply and said:
"Your Majesty is grateful for your kindness. I will do my best and never let you down."
Xiao Jiang nodded and said:
"You go back to camp and discuss with Lu Fengxian about guarding Chang'an. Then Li Jue wants to see me, hehe... I'm worried that he will regret seeing me."
…
A hundred thousand troops would be a vast area if they stood in front of them. The reason why Xiliang Iron Cavalry is called Iron Cavalry is that they are equipped with one man, two horses, long and short weapons, and they fight very bravely and fiercely.
Fifty miles away from Chang'an, there is a company camp for more than twenty miles, with pairs of rangers patrolling everywhere, and the Chinese army's tent is on a small hillside.
In the big tent, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and Jia Xu were drinking wine. As the commander-in-chief, Li Jue drank seven large bowls of wine and laughed loudly:
"Without the emperor, the world is about to be in chaos. At that time, we can have one hundred thousand cavalry to conquer the east and west, and maybe we can do great things. Two brothers, are you ready?"
Guo Si was not as courageous as Li Jue. He frowned and said:
"Brother Li, although military power in troubled times represents power, in front of us is Chang'an and behind us is Xiliang, and on the right is Zhang Ji's 30,000-strong army. Although we have a good relationship with Zhang Ji, in the current state, he will let us enter his territory.
What?
We only have enough food and fodder for ten days now. If these 100,000 troops have nowhere to go, once they run out of food and fodder, it is estimated that the army will be dispersed without anyone attacking us, let alone the unparalleled achievements and great achievements."
Fan Chou had a simple mind and said nonchalantly:
"There are only 20,000 troops in Chang'an. If we march into Chang'an City and loot Chang'an, we will naturally have food and grass. When the time comes, we will leave Tongguan and go to the Central Plains, and we will be able to live in peace after establishing a good territory."
Guo Si frowned and said:
"Have you forgotten that Lu Fengxian is leading the army? With the three of us tied together, he can kill us with one hand. What's more, the invincible Prince Xiao controls Chang'an. Could he give us a chance to enter the city?"
Speaking of Lu Bu, Fan Chou was afraid but didn't care too much. Anyway, a large number of troops meant crushing. But when it came to Xiao Jiang, Fan Chou's face turned into pig liver. He shook his head and said:
"No matter how brave Lu Bu is, he will have to run away when we swarm him, but Prince Xiao... his record is too terrible. Back then, 8,000 defeated the 100,000 Hu army. Before that, 1,000 iron guards defeated 30,000 Jizhou army, and even wiped out the Jizhou army in ten days.
Throughout Jizhou, such thunderous tactics are really scary, and I don’t have the guts to be his enemy."
Guo Si is timid? Maybe it’s because he knows his own abilities very well, but Li Jue is very arrogant. He sneered and said:
"Really, if Xiao Jiang is really unparalleled in the world, then he should come in person. If he doesn't have the guts, it means he is mediocre. But even if he comes, hey, if he wants us to surrender, he must have that
That’s what it takes.”
Fan Chou, who had a lower status, did not speak, and Jia Xu, who was a military advisor, did not speak either. Jia Xu touched his goatee and saw no fluctuations in his eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
"Report, the Imperial Supervisor, General Hussar, and the King of Beihai have arrived."
Suddenly, the roar of soldiers outside came. Guo Bang, who was drinking, shook his hand and poured out a lot of wine. Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly, and Li Jue held the wine glass tightly and asked coldly:
"How many people came?"
The soldier hurriedly replied:
"Prince Xiao has one man, one horse and one halberd. There is not a single soldier ten miles behind."
Li Jue tightened his hands and slowly put down his wine glass. He stood up, glanced around and said:
"Guys, how should we respond?"
Guo Si looked nervous and said:
"No matter what, he is the prince. We are still a Han army and must go to greet him."
Li Jue took a deep breath and nodded:
"That's right. Let him come in here. It's not convenient for him to sit in the first place or for me to sit in the first place. Then we will greet him outside, just to test what the court thinks about us."
After saying that, he put on his helmet and adjusted his armor, and the group hurried out of the central military tent, all the way to the camp gate. They saw the handsome and tall black horse gently pawing the soil, while Xiao Jiang was not wearing a green robe.
Armor, a large halberd hanging upside down on the saddle, even though he is a man, his eyes are full of unrivaled domineering power like no other in the world.
Li Jue had never seen Xiao Jiang. When he saw Xiao Jiang's majestic face, his heart skipped a beat and he hurried forward to salute:
"Li Jue, the captain with five senses, has met the prince. He is wearing armor. I hope that the prince will forgive Li Jue for being rude."
Guo Si and others also hurriedly saluted. Xiao Jiang got off his horse and glanced at everyone sideways and said:
"The world under the central government is in chaos without governance. I was originally the tutor of the first two emperors. Because I was in charge of Qingzhou, Emperor Xie was forced to abdicate by Dong's thieves and died. Emperor Bian died because of Dong's cronies.
I, the king, have no choice but to take charge of the government, regulate the stability of the capital, and correct the behavior of all forces. You are originally subordinates of the Dong thief, but you are also soldiers of the Han Dynasty.
I asked General Fenwu Li Su to summon you all. Those who surrender will not take into account their past sins, and those who do not surrender will be killed without mercy. But you asked me to come in person, so I am here. After all, surrender or die, I have no idea.
Time has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Jiang's tone was like a cold wind sweeping across ten feet, and everyone couldn't help but shiver. Li Jue was startled by Xiao Jiang's words, but then he burst into laughter.
After laughing for a while, he looked around at the thousands of elite cavalry who had gathered and said:
"Prince Xiao, I have heard for a long time that you can seize the heads of enemy generals from among thousands of troops, but that is just a legend. I have a hundred thousand cavalry here, your Qingzhou cavalry is thousands of miles away, and the few troops in Chang'an are not enough to defend the capital.
