【Chapter 311】 Blood of the setting sun dyes the sky 1
"Hmph! The military advisor just used his guess to argue that my uncle was a false surrender. It would be too arbitrary, right?" Fan Yong looked at Jia Xu angrily and asked coldly.
Just when Fan Yong was indignant, Li Li suddenly turned around and said to him: "Second brother, General Fan Chou has always been loyal, kind and righteous, and admired him very much. However, what the military advisor said is not unreasonable. Be careful not to make any mistakes when the battle is over. Second brother will follow the orders of the military advisor. If we misunderstand your uncle, I will explain to General Fan Chou in person after the war and come to apologize. No need to say too much, execute the order!"
"Uh,,,,,,,,, the last general took the order!" Fan Yong didn't expect that his elder brother Li Li also spoke like this, and his words were quite partial to Jia Xu. In shock, he suppressed his anger and rode his horse to take the order away.
Watching Fan Yong leave indignantly, Jia Xu whispered to Li Li: "I am so arrogant and ask my lord to forgive me for his crimes. However, General Fan Chou's move is indeed suspicious, so my subordinates have to be more careful in case of unexpected accidents. If he leads his army not to join our army, but to surrender and try to attack our rear, then the current situation of the two armies will change accordingly, and the disadvantages of the Xiliang army will be reversed in an instant. In the troubled times, people's hearts are unpredictable, and they must be guarded against others. However, in this way, the second general will inevitably feel unhappy and indignant. My subordinates are worried that if Fan Chou's trip is a surrender, it may damage the brotherhood of the lord and the second general. Please read it clearly."
Li Li heard this and looked a little complicated in his eyes and pondered: "The military advisor is right. General Fan Chou and my uncle have a good relationship. I didn't expect him to turn against him before. However, since my second brother is sure that this matter is feasible, I am happy to see it. After all, our army and the Xiliang army have no life-and-death revenge that cannot be resolved, so that the casualties can be avoided to the greatest extent. This is what I hope to see. But I have something unknown. Why did the military advisor decide that General Fan Chou will not surrender to our army? Please tell me bluntly so that I can know the whole story."
After thinking a little, Jia Xu said, "The reason why his subordinates believed that General Fan Chou was probably a false surrender was because Fan Chou was very concerned about Rongxun, the ancestors of the Fan family. The lord may not know the origin of the Fan family, and most generals in the Western Liang army did not know this. However, the subordinates knew a little about the origin of the Fan family. The Fan family was a descendant of the general, and it is said that they were descendants of Fan Kuai, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty. Fan Chou still enshrines the tablets of Fan Kuai. It seems that the Fan family is a descendant of Fan Kuai. It is not groundless, but it should be true. However, Fan Kuai died in the early days of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Fan family was also unknown and did not appear in the world. However, as far as the subordinates knew, General Fan Chou attaches great importance to family honors and respects the Han royal family, and never covets the will of rebellion.
On the surface, the decisive battle between the two armies seemed to be just a struggle for power between the lord and General Li Jue, fighting for the ownership of Chang'an City and the Xiliang Army. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this battle determines the survival of the Han Dynasty and the direction of the world in the future.
If General Li Jue wins this battle, the Liu family will definitely die in name only, but the Han Dynasty is still expected to continue. General Li Jue has absolutely no strength and ambition to take over the Han Dynasty and replace it. However, if the lord wins this battle, it is difficult to say whether the lord will continue to exist. This does not mean that the lord has the intention to kill the lord and usurp the throne, and intends to take over the Han Dynasty and replace it, but that the lord has many innate advantages, which prompts others to guess that the lord has the ambition of the emperor.
First of all, the lord is less than 20 years old and still has a long way to go in the future, but the lord is in charge of the world at the age of twentieth. This alone has to make the world dream of endless imagination. They all speculated that the lord's plan would sooner or later replace the Han Dynasty and become independent.
Secondly, once Chang'an falls into the hands of the lord, the lord will be able to hold a strong army and look down on the world. At this time of chaos in the world, the lord has more than 200,000 troops and occupy the two states of Xiliang. There are three other dangers, which can be attacked and retreated. He is invincible. He has replaced the former Qin land, occupied the pre-Qin land, and confronted the princes of the world from afar.
Finally, the lord holds the emperor and the queen mother in his hands. As long as the emperor is in his hands, the lord can hold the emperor to command the princes. Not only does he hold the power of the world, but he also represents the orthodox emperor power of the Han Dynasty. He is domineering and no one in the world can compete with the lord.
It is precisely because the lords occupy the absolute advantage that the princes wanted but could not get, that people in the world would think that the lord would sooner or later replace the Han Dynasty, and would be respectful to the lord, and rule the world. Therefore, as long as the Han Dynasty was concerned, they would not want to see Chang'an City and the Xiliang Army fall into the lord's hands, they would try to prevent the lord from taking power and taking charge of the troops. Because once the lord gained the command power of the Xiliang Army and the power to take charge of the world, it means that the demise of the Han Dynasty was not far away. The four hundred years of Han Dynasty would be ended by the lord, and those hundred-year-old prominent clans and scholars in the world would be destroyed with the rise of the lord. This is a situation that the lords and scholars in the world would not want to see. They would definitely spare no effort to resist our army and deliberately eliminate our Xiliang army.
After all, the people of the world still care about the Han Dynasty, especially the Confucian scholars and scholars in the world still regard the Liu royal family as the orthodox world. It is unrealistic to anyone try to replace the Han Dynasty at this time and become independent. It is difficult to win the hearts of the people, and it will not be recognized by the scholars in the world. If the lord really wants to take over the power of the world, the consequences of doing so are extremely terrible. The people are willing to resist, and the Confucian scholars and clans in the world will inevitably resist, and they will eventually follow the old path of Dong Zhuo and will not be able to end up well.
Carrying the eternal infamy. Fan Chou is just a sign at the moment. He is concerned about the Han Dynasty and believes that the Han Dynasty is the world conquered by his ancestors of the Fan family and cannot fall into the hands of the lord. Therefore, his turnaround is false. His real purpose is undoubtedly to try to be in a mess, lead troops around the rear of our army, and then to defeat our Wuwei Central Army. As long as our central army is broken, the current advantage of the war situation we have gained is meaningless and cannot escape the defeat."
Jia Xu's words seemed to explain the reason why Fan Chou had surrendered, but in fact he was giving advice to Li Li. The intention was to make Li Li realize the upcoming situation early. It is important to hold heavy troops and take over the world's power, but behind this power is also stormy waves, which are extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will follow Dong Zhuo's footsteps and will never be restored.
I have to say that Jia Xu's words are good intentions, far-sighted, based on the present and looking at the future, the pros and cons are all in his words.
This is the most outstanding strategist since ancient times.
After hearing Jia Xu's advice, Li Li looked up at the brilliant sunset, silent, with no sadness or joy, and no surprise. After a moment, he pondered: "Thank you for your teachings from the military advisor. The military advisor has worked hard these days. I have made a decision in my heart, so the military advisor does not have to worry about it."
As soon as this said, Jia Xu suddenly let out a long sigh, and his suspended heart finally landed. He whispered gently: "My lord is a talented person, both civil and military, and is resourceful and good at making decisions. He is the only great master in his life. The lord only needs to endure a little, consolidate his foundation, and prepare for his troops. Sooner or later, he will achieve great hegemony for thousands of years!"
"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled slightly and said, "It's too early to say these words at this time. Everything has to be done step by step. Being down-to-earth is more important than anything else. Military advisor, since Fan Chou is a fraudulent surrender, I'm afraid he has to trouble the military advisor to make some arrangements and be prepared for any reason. Fan Yong is young after all, and is a close uncle and nephew of Fan Chou, and recently he has recognized Fan Chou as his adoptive father. Unfortunately, my weight in Fan Chou's heart is too light after all, so he can't let him lead the troops willingly, and his second brother Fan Yong may not attack Fan Chou. In this way, the military advisor will eventually take action against Fan Chou's troops to prevent our army from being attacked from being attacked from being attacked from being attacked from being on both sides."
"Oh, my subordinates will accept the order." Jia Xu bowed to his promise without hesitation. However, he did not leave immediately, but looked up at Li Li's side face and whispered: "Our army currently has 80,000 troops to defend the central army, and can easily defeat Fan Chou's troops. However, the second general and Fan Chou are father and son after all, and are close relatives of the direct line. The subordinates are quite concerned about this. Please make an announcement."
Li Li's sword eyebrows suddenly jumped when he heard this, and he looked fierce and murmured in a low voice: "Before the war, I originally planned to give up the position of Wuwei prefect to Uncle Fan, so that he could return home in glory and live a life of his life. However, he was so stubborn that he actually surrendered in the face of battle. It can be seen that he had a very deep prejudice against me and had no room for change. He was old and had no eyes on the battlefield, so he would inevitably be injured by the arrows and arrows. What a pity???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
After hearing this, Jia Xu nodded in understanding and then rode away.
After Jia Xu left, Li Li turned his head and looked at Fan Chou's figure riding on horseback. At the same time, he also saw Fan Yong leading thousands of soldiers to face Fan Chou's army. Seeing this scene, Li Li gently opened his lips and murmured to himself: "For the sake of heroism in troubled times, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Since you are stubborn, don't blame Li for taking ruthless actions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Li turned his head and stopped observing the situation behind him. He sat upright on the mount of the Golden Beast King, looking coldly at the attack on the Hu Ben Camp a hundred steps away in front of him.
In front of the Wuwei Central Army.
Zhang Ji led more than 30,000 Iron Cavalry of the Huben Camp to attack the giant shield formation on the periphery of the Wuwei Central Army, and leaped on the horse with his sword and shouted endlessly. But he saw his eyes red, his forehead was covered with horizontal lines, and his blue veins stormed, and he gritted his teeth and angrily scolded the Xiliang cavalry to charge, trying to break through the giant shield formation and contact the central army where Li Li was located. However, the giant shield formation on the periphery of the Wuwei Central Army was stacked layer by layer, with as many as 30,000 shield soldiers. Giant shields were in front, with long spears and hook sickle spears intersecting defense. There were thousands of chariots and crossbows behind the central army continuously shooting crossbow arrows, killing and killing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. For a moment, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could not break through the giant shield and entered the formation. He could only attack the giant shield formation again and again in the limited sprint space, attempting to forcibly break through the giant shield defense formation.
This kind of attack that forced breakthroughs through the defensive formation is a good opportunity for the fierce general to show his skills. Just now, the Wuwei Iron Cavalry rushed to the formation, which was Huan Fei, Teng Yu, Dian Wei, Ma Chao and others who forced their formation to break through through their own bravery, thus leading their cavalry into the Western Liang army formation. However, on the other hand, the Western Liang Iron Cavalry attacked the Wuwei Central Army's giant shield formation was indeed extremely difficult. They attacked repeatedly, but they were still difficult to break the formation. In the final analysis, it was the lack of powerful generals in the Western Liang Iron Cavalry to rush forward, otherwise they would have entered the formation and fought with the Wuwei Central Army in close combat. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
