Xiaoqi

The iron cavalry of our Wuwei Army is a war cavalry formed temporarily, and its combat power may be slightly inferior to that of the Huben Camp, and the ability of the soldiers to fight together may not be as good as that of the Huben Camp.However, this time I have combined your twelve generals into an army, with Xu Rong and Bo Cai as the main generals.Dispatch in the middle, Dong Yue, Huan Fei, Teng Yu and other ten tiger generals will be in command. If the soldiers are not strong enough, we will use the future of you tigers and wolves to make up for the shortage.You people are all brave enough to be invincible. I don't expect you to be able to defeat ten thousand with one.I only ask you to bring your five thousand war cavalry and follow the general's order carefully.Just defeat the Huben camp!Can the generals hear the truth? "

"No, the last general is waiting to take orders!" In the center of the hall, twelve generals headed by Xu Rong and Bo Cai stepped out and bowed to take orders.

Li Li nodded solemnly and said: "Okay, our cavalry will be handed over to you, and the success or failure of this battle depends on the 12 of you. I hope you will work together to win this battle. After the victory, Your own reward!"

"No!" All the generals shouted in unison, the momentum was astonishing, and there was a rumbling sound.

He waved his hand to signal Xu Rong and others to get up and take their seats.Li Li continued to order: "For the remaining [-] soldiers, [-] infantry will be left to guard the city. Hu Zhen's troops and Longyou soldiers will be the left wing, the Lantian battalion soldiers and Wuwei infantry will be the right wing, and Jin Yiwei will guard the central army. The battle flag. On the left wing, Zhang Liao was the chief general, Hu Zhen was the deputy general, and Yang Ding, Cao Xing, Liang Xing and others were at their disposal. On the right wing, Fan Yong was the chief general, Dian Wei was the deputy general, and Yang Qiu, Huan Zhong, Huan Yi and others were at their disposal Dispatch. The Chinese army is led by Li Zhi and Tietuo to guard the battle flag. Hu Che'er is in charge of the flag and rushes to the left and right with me. Wherever the battle flag of our Wuwei army goes, the whole army can only advance and never retreat. Who dares to retreat halfway without authorization Step up, Kill Unforgiven!"

"No!" This acknowledgment to Nuo was even worse than just now, and the volume was so loud that it shook the huge hall.

Li Li raised his hand to signal the generals to return to their positions, and said in a deep voice: "Jia Xu went out with the Chinese army, Li Xuan and Li Ru stayed behind to guard Mei Wu, and Wu Xia was the guard, leading [-] infantry to guard Mei Wu."

"Your subordinates will take orders!" Li Xuan, Li Ru and Jia Xu stood up and responded.

It wasn't until this time that many generals who had recently joined the Wuwei Army suddenly remembered that in the backyard of the lord Li Li, there was also a female general Dian Wuxia who was known as the "Unparalleled God of War".

Three days later, Chang'an Li Jue sent envoys to Meiwu.

In the lobby, Li Li saw the messenger, and Li Xuan and Li Ru were still sitting in the hall.

The envoy standing in the hall was Li Su, Lu Bu's fellow villager.

Li Su, a native of Wuyuan County in Bingzhou, was originally a riding captain under Lu Bu's command.After Wang Yun and Lu Bu conspired to kill Dong Zhuo, they sent him to lead the army to destroy Niu Fu's army. Unfortunately, instead of defeating Niu Fu, he was defeated by Niu Fu and fled to Hongnong.

In the Romance, after Li Su was defeated and retreated to Hongnong, he was killed by Lu Bu.

However, because Li Jue, Guo Si, and Li Li immediately led troops to counterattack Chang'an, when Lu Bu was about to lead his troops out to suppress Chang'an, the city of Chang'an was breached.Since then, Lu Bu's plan to send troops was aborted, and Li Su escaped a catastrophe because of this, and then led his troops to defect to Li Jue's army.

In detail, although Li Su has no great talent, he has made a lot of achievements.In his early years, he recommended himself to Dong Zhuo to surrender to Lv Bu, but he succeeded in one fell swoop, Ding Yuan died, and Lv Bu led the Bingzhou Army to surrender to Dong Zhuo.In Wang Yun and Lu Bu's plot to kill Dong Zhuo, it is said that Li Su also assisted Lu Bu in the assassination of Dong Zhuo, and helped Wang Yun destroy the Feixiong soldiers in the palace and the remnants of the Xiliang Army.It's a pity that he followed the wrong person and stayed with Lu Bu all the time, but he couldn't integrate into the Bingzhou army. He failed to wipe out Niu Fu, but was angered by Lu Bu.

Now that Li Su is cast under Li Jue's account, it is said that he is also very unpopular, and many generals in Xiliang have criticized him.In particular, his participation in the assassination of Dong Zhuo was a crime that could never be cleared away.Even though he was forced to do so at the time, he couldn't tell the difference, and couldn't explain clearly at all.Therefore, the thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands were annexed by Li Jue and Guo Si, and he stayed with Li Jue temporarily to listen to them.

That's right, Li Su came here to issue a letter of war to Li Li and his Wuwei army.

In the hall, Li Li frowned slightly and looked at the letter of war written by Li Jue himself: "Sue Li Li and join the Wuwei Army: Three days later in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, our 17 troops from Xiliang will line up to invite Li Li and his subordinate Wuwei to fight. Army. In this battle, if Wuwei's army is defeated, return it to the emperor and the queen mother, withdraw from Meiwu, bow down as a minister, and merge into the Xiliang army; vice versa. Li Jue."

Li Li read the letter three times, then put down the letter, squinted his eyes and meditated silently.

"Captain Rider, please sit down, let my lord think about it, and I will reply to you later." At the end of the hall, Li Xuan got up and walked to Li Su's side and said in a low voice.

Li Su bowed his hands cautiously to express his gratitude to Li Xuan, and then sat down beside him.

"Is Captain Qi okay in Chang'an these days?" Li Xuan sat beside Li Su and asked softly.

Li Su knew that the affairs of Chang'an City could not be hidden from the Wuwei Army's careful eyes and ears, so he did not pretend, sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Hey, it's hard to say! The last general led the army to destroy Niu Fu before and failed, but was scolded by Lu Bu later. Fortunately, General Xiaoqi sent troops to drive away Lu Bu’s army, so that the last general survived. Now the Xiliang army generals will not tolerate me, and often sarcasm me. It's unspeakable!"

Li Xuan smiled lightly and said: "The general is serious. The general followed Dong Xiang in the north and south in the early years, and made great contributions. It can be said that he is both civil and military. Now the general accidentally went astray. Although there are faults, the flaws are not concealed. The merits outweigh the faults." I don’t know how the Xiliang army is preparing now? Apart from the [-] tiger battalion, is there a secret killing weapon?”

"Uh, this,,,,,," Li Su was startled, and stared at Li Xuan incredulously, his eyes were quite puzzled.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "General, don't be nervous. The Xiliang Army doesn't tolerate generals. My Wuwei Army welcomes generals. Besides, I heard that the general is also a descendant of the parachutist Li Guang, who is of the same lineage as my lord. Right now, you and my lord are also not accepted by the Xiliang army. Since then, you and my lord are in the same spirit, and you should fight side by side with the same enemy. Does the general think so?"

Li Su looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and said in a low voice: "What you said is correct. It's just that General Li Jue is quite dissatisfied with me for Dong Zhuo's death. Can General Xiaoqi really let the past go? After all, General Xiaoqi is Dong Xiangguo's love." My son-in-law, and Xiangguo's daughter Dong Wan is the beloved wife of General Xiaoqi, can he forgive my mistakes?"

"The general is worrying too much." Li Xuan smiled and looked at Li Li, who was sitting on the main seat with his head bowed in thought, and said with a low laugh, "The general should know what happened in Wuguan City, right?"

Li Su was stunned, his eyes flashed with hope, then he nodded affirmatively, and said softly: "I will never hear about this matter. I heard that Li Xiaoqi led an army of tens of thousands to trap Lu Bu's army under the city of Wuguan. Then Lu Bu knelt down and begged for mercy, and offered Zhang Liao, Cao Hehe and eight hundred soldiers of the trapped camp to Li Xiaoqi as his slaves, and just now he got Li Xiaoqi's approval, and was able to pass through Wuguan and go south to Jingxiang."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Yes, what the general said is not bad at all. Lu Bu was ungrateful, murdered the king and his father, first killed Zhijin Wu Dingyuan, and then killed Dong Xiang. Such a capricious, unfaithful villain , my lord is under the city of Wuguan, Gu Nian, he is Dong Xiang's adopted son, and he can be regarded as the only descendant after Xiangguo's death. Therefore, my lord is merciful and let go of Lu Bu and the tens of thousands of Bingzhou troops under his command. Lu Bu actually killed Dong Xiang’s chief culprit, my lord can still spare his life, let alone the riding captain! So, general, don’t worry too much, my lord is as big as the five mountains, and as broad as the world, and the general is definitely welcome to vote!”

"Uh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,]:] Allow me to think about it carefully, and how about replying to Mr. in a few days?" After a little hesitation, Li Su said perfunctorily with a flattering smile."

Li Xuan's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone has his own ambitions, so naturally I will not force myself to ride a captain. But I have a word to give to a captain. The icing on the cake is worse than giving charcoal in the snow. Leave a way out for yourself in advance. There is nothing wrong with the matter itself, but it is necessary to show sincerity to leave a way out."

"Uh!" Li Su looked at Li Xuan's stern expression in astonishment, thought for a while, his erratic eyes became firm, then turned his head to look around the lobby, leaned sideways and whispered to Li Xuan.

Chapter 289 Battle Screen

ps: ps: Thank you Baoyue Qingfeng book friend for the reward, happy early years and happy new year!

in the lobby.

Li Li, who was in deep thought for a while, raised his head and nodded slightly to Li Su who was sitting in the hall waiting for a reply, and then waved his hand to signal Li Xuan to see off the guests.

For a moment, Li Su stood up in bewilderment, looked straight at Li Li, and hoped that Li Li could give him a clear answer.It's a pity that Li Li didn't even look at him, and immediately got up and strode towards the side door on the left side of the lobby, and left in a huff.

"Sir, I don't know what Li Xiaoqi means? To fight or not to fight, you have to say something, otherwise you will not be able to explain to General Li Jue when you go back?" Li Su asked Li Xuan for advice with a mournful face.

"Hehehe!" At this moment, Li Ru, who was sitting across from him, got up and walked to Li Su, and said with a smile, "My lord has already given you an answer, and nodding means that he has accepted the letter of challenge and will go to battle as promised."

"Oh, that's how it is." Li Su was astonished, bowed immediately, and said respectfully to Li Ru: "The last general has seen the Lord Master. During the Chang'an Rebellion, everyone rumored that the Master had been killed. I didn't expect you to join the army. The Wuwei army is serving under Li Xiaoqi's tent. The last general was rude earlier, please forgive me."

Li Ru smiled and shook his head and said: "Li Su, you are too out of touch. You and I are ministers in the same palace under Xiangguo's command. We have worked together for many years and are of the same clan. There is no need to be so formal. You still call me Wen as before. Excellent, so as not to be too unreasonable, maybe we will have the opportunity to work together in the future. This time you came here with the letter of war, in fact, my lord does not want to meet with General Yangwei in battle, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover. Therefore, in the heart of the lord Quite melancholy, after all he and General Li Jue are uncles and nephews, and this time the two armies are at war, it may be difficult to preserve the relationship between uncles and nephews. Please be more considerate in this regard."

"Brother Wen You is right. I know how to reply to General Li Jue." Li Su humbly echoed.

At this time Li Xuan got up and walked over, stood side by side with Li Ru, smiled and said to Li Su: "General, don't forget what we said before, I hope you make a decision early, the gate of our Wuwei Army is open to the general at any time. "

"Thank you for your advice, sir. I will definitely consider it carefully. At that time, please ask me to raise one or two points. I will be grateful!" Li Su respectfully said with a serious expression.

Li Xuan and Li Ru looked at each other, and then Li Xuan said with a smile: "My lord is strict in command of the army, as long as the general is loyal to my lord. Follow the orders and do our best to serve our army, and the general will be appointed as a marquis just around the corner!"

Li Su bowed his head when he heard the words, and said, "Thank you sir and Wen You for your guidance. I still have important things to do at the end, so let's say goodbye. I will leave."

Li Xuan and Li Ru then sent Li Su out of the lobby and watched him ride away on horseback.

"Brother Yuan Zhong always acts unexpectedly. He actually said in the lobby that he had surrendered to Li Su who came to fight. I deeply admire it. I am ashamed of myself, hahaha!" When Li Su walked away, Li Ru laughed Said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Wen You laughed. I really didn't notice this Li Su who came to the battle. I only heard his name, but I didn't know him. Just above the lobby, I saw that although his face was pretending to be calm when he met the lord, his eyes were a little flustered, so I went up to test him. Unexpected. If you hit the right way, you can really get some useful military information out of his mouth. It's just this Although Li Su has some talents, he is also an idiot. When the two armies are at war, he wants to leave Li Jue's command and find another job, but he also wants to wait until the end of the war and attach himself to the strong. People like him , Even if you have talents, you can't entrust them with heavy responsibilities!"

Li Ru nodded approvingly and said: "Yuan Zhong's words can be said to be a person with a keen eye for knowing people, and he is penetrating three points. Although Li Su is not a man of Wentao and Wulue, he is also Yunwen Yunwu. However, this person is good at speculating and seeking fame and fortune. Ever since he said he would surrender to Lv Bu, he followed Lv Bu, as if he had left the Xiliang army. The death of Dong Xiang was indeed his assistance to Wang Yun and others He hid soldiers in an ambush in the palace hall, and then led his troops to chase and kill the flying bear soldiers guarding the palace. However, after Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others seized power, they did not give him the official position and title he wanted, but instead ordered him to lead the soldiers to collect Suppressing the Niufu army. It is precisely because of this that he led the army and underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. The result was a crushing defeat, which made Wang Yun quite annoyed and ordered Lu Bu to kill him. Therefore, during the Chang'an Rebellion, Li Su, who is good at opportunism, did not do his best. On the contrary, it caused death, and now he survived by chance, but fell into the situation of idling. All this is all his own fault, too smart for himself!"

After Li Xuan heard the words, he thought about it and said: "Since he is good at speculating and seeking fame and fortune, after he joins our army, I will suggest to my lord to let him handle government affairs instead of leading the army. What does Wen You think?"

"Hehehe!" Li Ru said with a laugh: "It seems that Yuan Zhong has decided that Li Su will defect to our army, and now he will start to figure out his position."

Li Xuan nodded firmly and said: "That's right, I'm sure Li Su will defect to our army sooner or later, because our army will surely win this battle!"

Li Ru nodded solemnly when he heard the words, and echoed: "Yuan Zhong's words are exactly what I want. In the past, Prime Minister Dong's unfinished business can only be accomplished by falling on the lord. Li Jue can't do it. His magnanimity is even greater than that of Prime Minister Dong It’s better to be suspicious and fickle, with too shallow eyesight, so it’s hard to make a big deal. The big battle is imminent, and I have a lot of things to do, brother Yuan Zhong, I’ll take my leave first.”

"Let's go together, I'm also going to find Wenhe to discuss the big battle in three days." Li Xuan followed Li Ru as he strode away from the main hall while talking.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On this day, from the fifth watch onwards, the sound of horseshoes and horseshoes in a radius of [-] miles around Chang'an City was full of people.

Before dawn, countless torches illuminate half the sky red.
