77, send troops

Li Ru said that Li Jue wanted to submit a letter to recommend Yan Xing to be promoted to the general and Hedong prefect. This was a trick of killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it was to tie Yan Xing tightly to one side of his chariot, so that he could no longer watch it. On the other hand, it also allowed Yan Xing and the Chang'an court and the Hedong County Government to completely break up, and there was no possibility of joining forces since then.

The prefect of Hedong, the Chang'an court could not grant Yan Xing this position, and Wang Yi could not give in. However, for Li Jue, Guo Si and others, it was a bargaining chip that could be used to ignite the situation. What Li Ru said in public is such a key node.

And what he wanted to express was also very clear.

That is, the reason why Li Jue and others did not submit to the court and recommended Yan to act as the general and the prefect of Hedong, which made Yan Xing's side directly break up with the Chang'an court and the Hedong County Government, was simply because what Li Jue and others wanted was to join forces with Yan Xing's side, rather than to be suspicious of each other to keep warm.

Just like sending troops to escort Zhang Rui back to Yan Xing's side instead of detaining him as a hostage, it was not that Li Jue and others did not dare to do it, but that they were unwilling to do it and did not want to do it.

Of course, the kindness and sincerity expressed by Li Jue and others is limited to this. If Yan Xing's attitude is still stubborn and intends to continue to watch from the wall, Li Jue and others will not mind, and they use open conspiracy to force Yan Xing's side to stand and meet with the Chang'an court and Hedong County Government.

The effect may not be satisfactory, but the end result is the same.

Xi Zhicai felt Li Ru's fearless gaze. He was not willing to be outdone on his face, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Li Ru's strategy was indeed outstanding, and his vision and means were also vicious, and he could be regarded as a master at the moment.

With this person helping each other, no wonder Dong Zhuo was able to enter Luoyang alone, exert his power and plot, and take the political fruits of the murder of relatives and eunuchs into his arms one after another.

No wonder, in just less than half a month, the stray dogs such as Li Jue, Guo Si and Zhang Ji were able to completely reverse the situation, sweep the Guanzhong, showing an aggressive and aiming at Chang'an in less than half a month.

Gan Ling, who was standing quietly, couldn't stand Li Ru's aggressive appearance, and he went out to speak.

"I heard that Li, Guo and other captains of the army entered Chang'an. Although they were invincible all the way, the Chang'an court also sent a large army to Xinfeng. A big battle was inevitable. Li, Guo's captain was eager to form an alliance with our army at this time. Could it be that it was at the end of its strength and wanted our army to attack Zuo Fengyi and transfer the army of the Chang'an court for those troops?"

Gan Ling chose to make military affairs and pointed out that Li Jue, Guo Si and others encountered obstacles in Xinfeng, so they wanted to use Yan Xing's troops to disperse the military front of the Chang'an court for them.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ru heard Gan Ling's words, he seemed to hear a huge joke and burst into laughter.

He faced Gan Ling's glaring gaze without fear and said with a laugh:

"Gan Sima was highly valued by General Niu Zhonglang. He was strong in his hands and did not dare to advance west to meet the enemy, but he broke into the east. How could he have any face to talk about military affairs? War is a strange way. Famous generals in ancient times took the plan of attacking the enemy as the best, and attacking the soldiers and cities as the best strategy. Li, Guo and other school lieutenants joined forces with heroes to fight against unjust officials. This is to follow the heavens and respond to people's ways. Wang Yun and Lu Bu were betrayed by the righteous, killing the benefactor and rebellion, and everyone was able to kill them. The soldiers of Liangzhou had the same origin and had their lips and teeth. How could they have different intentions of working hard?"

"The current situation is that when a combination of two benefits, two harms will be shared, and everyone knows that Sima just said this, which is without loyalty, no righteousness, no courage or wisdom. If he really hides seven feet high, how can he stand in the hall again? He can cover up his face and report his crimes and retreat!"

"How dare the evil slave insult me!"

Gan Ling was scolded by Li Ru who spoke sharply in public. Even though his current mind is no longer comparable to that of Ren Jincheng in the past, he was still furious and furious. With a "sharp" sound, Gan Ling had already pulled out his sword.

Xi Zhicai, who was on the other side, caught Gan Ling's anger and quickly reached out to pull Gan Ling's armor. Seeing this, Zhou Liang hurriedly approached to help. He then pulled Gan Ling, who was about to run away, and persuaded him with kind words, so that he would not really not be able to get out of Taiwan and would do the reckless behavior of stabbing Li Ru in public.

Li Ru stood up in the hall, ignoring the cold light of the long sword in Gan Ling's hand. He sneered and looked at Gan Ling, Xi Zhicai and others, and his attitude became more and more arrogant.

Today, Li Ru entered the hall and faced Yan Xing and others who were watching the wall, they wanted to show a fearless look. The stronger his attitude towards Yan Xing's side, the more obvious the signal he sent to the outside world, that is, Yan Xing's side, and the alliance with Li Jie's side at this time was just an icing on the cake, which was definitely not a timely help. Moreover, if Yan Xing was hesitant, the consequences of angering Li Jie, Guo Si and others would never be able to bear it afterwards.

"Since Gan Sima talked about the fierce battle between the two armies of Xinfeng, Ru was not afraid to tell the lieutenant that Hu Zhen, Xu Rong and others were originally the soldiers of our Liangzhou. Now the rumors of killing all Liangzhou were widely circulated in Guanzhong, but the Chang'an court's government orders were unclear, which led to the danger of Liangzhou's generals and soldiers without fighting. The lieutenant was also a person who knew the military. The result of the fierce battle between the two armies of Xinfeng is no longer necessary to explain."

"The two armies formed an alliance, and Li Zhengwei knew the difficulties of the lieutenant, and did not need the lieutenant to send troops to help. He only needed the lieutenant to distribute troops and restrain Song Yi's troops. And in the city of Heyang, the army of the lieutenant could not be supported. It was imperative to divide the troops and eat. This was a mutually beneficial move. Why should the lieutenant hesitate and misunderstand the situation?"

From angering Gan Ling, to turning to Yan Xing, Li Ru's information revealed from his mouth was from being moved with emotion, seduced with profit, and then forced with momentum, which was pressing step by step.

But he just had to be aggressive so that Yan Xing's side, who had an unknown attitude, had to worry about the huge and powerful Liangzhou army in his words when making a decision.

Yan Xing, who was pretending to be contemplative just now, listened to Li Ru's sharp and sharp words, and looked at Gan Ling, who was angry with Li Ru. Although he was also dissatisfied with Li Ru's aggressive attitude, he still suppressed his anger.

"I understand what Mr. Li means. I have accepted Captain Li's sincerity. Let's do this. I will have a clear answer with you tomorrow. How about it?"

Yan Xing, who was originally thoughtful and silent, finally spoke. Li Ru's lips curled up, and then looked at Xi Zhicai. Zhou Liang grabbed Gan Ling. He also knew in his heart that haste would not be understood. Today, his strength has been shown in detail, and it should be time to stop the reverse effect.

So Li Ru bowed to Yan Xing and bowed.

"In this way, Ru will wait for the good news of the lieutenant."

Yan Xing nodded slightly and reached out to signal Zhou Liang to take Li Ru down. Zhou Liang took the order, let go of Ganling, and came to Li Ru.

"Mr. Li, please!"

Looking at Zhou Liang's smile, Li Ru had been strong for some reason and showed signs of anger when he was calm.

The traitor in front of him also forgot who rescued him from the knife back then, who carefully cultivated him and entrusted him with important tasks, and in a blink of an eye he threw himself into Yan Xing's camp and abandoned his former master like a piece of grass.

Li Ru was angry that Yan Xing took advantage of the situation and broke free from his own control, but he hated even more that he was a snob who was secretly betraying him.

After stepping out of the lobby, Li Ru looked at Zhou Liang who was leading the way in front and sneered:

"Yuan Shan is a talented person. Now he has been promoted to the history of doing things, but he is still using everything, which is better than in the past when the Sanfu was a bandit."

Zhou Liang heard Li Ru's words in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment, slowed down, turned around and bowed to Li Ru, and smiled respectfully:

"Mr. Li's kindness of life is remembered in his conscience. Therefore, in the past, there were government dispatches, and although they were in trouble and danger, Liang did not dare to violate it. However, if the court was scattered today, the court was dark, and the talented and powerful men thought of a wise ruler, and Liang joined the lieutenant, which was also a move to follow the heavens and respond to others."

"Maybe Mr. Li regarded me as a villain, but Kunpeng had the ambition of Tunan, and he could escape the clouds and bear the blue sky, and he could sway up to ninety thousand miles. He also had the ambition to repel the turtle, jumping up and soaring among the weeds, which was also the highest flying."

"This is a distinction between the size and size. A good villain cannot bear the ridicule of Mr. Li!"

After hearing Zhou Liang's self-dispute, Li Ru snorted coldly, and knew that he was ridiculing Zhou Liang because he was bored and could not have any effect. He immediately shook his sleeves, crossed Zhou Liang straight and left.

Zhou Liang, who was left behind, stared at Li Ru's back for a while, and quickly raised his steps and followed him.

In the lobby

Gan Ling waited until Li Ru left, and the anger on his face calmed down, but he was still a little confused and looked at Yan Xing and asked:

"This Li Ru is too rude. Relying on the voices of Li Jue, Guo Si and others, he openly regarded me as nothing. I was about to disturb him with anger, so as not to continue to make noise in this hall, why did the lieutenant agree to him?"

Xi Zhicai also let go of Gan Ling's armor at this time and said with a serious expression:

"Although Li Ru is sharp and arrogant, he is indeed prepared. Li Jue and others can indeed use the open conspiracy to deepen the gap between us and the Chang'an court and the Hedong County Government and force us to fight against the enemy together. Moreover, now that Li Jue, Guo Si and others are defeated, the situation of the Chang'an court is in danger. We have already been involved in this situation. In the event of this change, we should make plans early to avoid missing opportunities and leaving regrets."

"Hu Zhen is fine. Xu Rong is known for his military service. His ability to use military service is also the best among the generals of Liangzhou. The Chang'an court regarded him as a general to guard Xinfeng. He expected that Li, Guo and others were in great force and could not defeat him. At this time, we signed an alliance with those people and sent troops to Zuo Fengyi. Wouldn't it be a waste of benefit to Li Jue, Guo Si and others?"

Gan Ling shook his head when he heard this. In military affairs, he still felt that Xu Rong, who knew the military and was good at fighting, could not defeat Li Jue, Guo Si and others, but it would be no problem to protect the people and defend Chang'an. Li and Guo's army would never be able to run the three auxiliary forces as Li Ru said, invincible, and regard Chang'an as something in his pocket, and at your fingertips.

Yan Xing listened to the differences between Xi Zhicai and Li Jue. He threw the letter of alliance in his hand on the table, got up and walked into the hall, looked out of the yard and said:

"Since ancient times, the rise and fall of the world has been replaced by the destiny, but it is really the heart of the people. Now the people of Sanfu are in panic. Li, Guo and others take the opportunity to start a military campaign. Along the way, the people of Liangzhou gathered and responded. Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others were in the court and had no strategy to respond to the situation. Even if Xu Rong in front of them can fight, they will not escape the defeat of the rebels. We are in charge of the situation. Although the alliance is a trivial matter, we should have made a decision early and seize the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing suddenly turned around, looked at Gan Ling, Xi Zhicai and the others, and said solemnly:

"So I want to wait for the battle in Xinfeng, when the Sanfu was in chaos, Shusheng was the main general, Zhicai was the army, and led the generals of Ma, Zhai, Meng, and the army to Linjin again, and used the remaining Baibo troops as the front drive, and collected Chongquan, Lianshao, Wannian and other places, surrounded Gaoling, gathered the grain from Zuofengyi to support the army, collected Qin and Hu troops from Sanfu, Shangjun and other places as their use, and recruited fugitives to enrich the northeast border of the River."

Yan Xing wanted to use Li, Guo and others to disrupt the Three Guards to expand their strength, but Gaoling was the capital of Zuo Fengyi. Zuo Fengyi and Song Yi were in Gaoling. If he directly attacked the city, he was afraid that Song Yi would not escape and die. Although Yan Xing had decided to use Zuo Fengyi, he did not want to act as a vanguard for Li, Guo and others, and were under the guidance of thousands of people in the world, so he clearly told Gan Ling that he would surround Gaoling without attacking him.

After Ganling handed over the troops and horses in his hands, Yan Xing also divided Ganling's troops into several units and handed them over to generals such as Ma, Zhai, Meng and others. Now Ganling is the main general, which is to hand over the troops and horses to Ganling again in another way to express his trust in him.

As for Xi Zhicai, since he was in charge of his position, he has made many achievements in planning and making plans. Every time Yan Xing left the army and divided his troops, he would leave Xi Zhicai to take charge of military opportunities and coordinate the generals. Now he is the military, which shows his reliance on him.

Gan Ling, Xi Zhicai immediately accepted the order respectfully.

"After we marched into Zuo Fengyi, if Li, Guo and others besiege Chang'an and send envoys to summon him, I wonder if we want to send troops to?"

After Gan Ling was ordered, he was cautious and asked Yan Xing about the subsequent trends of the army.

After all, if it is not difficult for Li Jue, Guo Si and others to defeat Xu Rong, then it will be not difficult for Hu Zhen to conquer Chang'an City.

At this time, Gan Ling, who was leading the army outside, would face a decision whether to lead the army to meet Li Jue, Guo Si and others in Chang'an and go to this muddy water. After all, if the victory is decided, entering Chang'an is a hundred times profitable thing.

But Gan Ling also knew that Yan Xing was concerned about reputation and public opinion. In addition to seizing the fruits of victory, he also had a burden on public opinion, which depends on how the parties involved made a decision.

Gan Ling thought that this matter was of great importance. Instead of the fact that the generals had no choice but to discuss it, they sent a quick horse to return to Heyang to ask Yan Xing. It would be better to ask Yan Xing clearly at this time, so as not to delay the opportunity in vain.

Sure enough, after hearing Gan Ling's inquiry, Yan Xing was speechless, silent for a moment, before slowly starting to speak.

"If there is something to do, then hunting Chang'an is not a bad thing. But when you arrive in Chang'an, you have to discuss with the opera and the army more. This is a long-term matter, with a strong ambition and foresight, and you will ask for advice when you encounter any problems, which will benefit you."

"Ling, please accept the order!"
