Looking at the letter in his hand, Ye Zhao's temple thundered.

"Lord, but General Guan is in trouble?" Li Ru realized that Ye Zhao's face was wrong and looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"No, he is causing trouble for me!" Ye Zhao handed the letter to Li Ru and rubbed his temple hard. He felt that he had some miscalculation and shouldn't have sent Wei Yan to Guan Yu at the beginning.

Guan Yu himself is an arrogant and bold person, and Wei Yan, judging from his previous performances, is also a very motivated and thoughtful young man.

When these two people who don’t like to play according to common sense come together and let them fight peacefully according to normal routines, it’s really embarrassing them.

"Now Li Jue and Guo Si are divided into guarding Qi County. The martial arts are the generals of Xiliang gathering, Chang'an is indeed empty!" After reading the letter sent by Zhou Cang, Li Ru also frowned slightly and looked at Ye Zhao and said, "General Guan is attacking Chang'an at this moment. If it is done, it will cause Xiliang's generals to be disorganized, but..."

I'm afraid even normal generals wouldn't do such things, right?

There are generals under Ye Zhao who can compare with Guan Yu. Xu Rong, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun, who studied in the academy for several years and had practical training, are no less inferior to Guan Yu now. In addition, Ji Ling, Fang Yue, and Ding Li are all good commanders, as well as Dian Wei, Hua Xiong, and Guan Hai. No matter which of these people is placed in Guan Yu's position, they will not have this idea.

But it is a bit unfair to say that the total denial is serious. The two of them have a vicious vision. If they can really conquer Chang'an at this time, they will have won half of the battle before it even began. The most important thing is that even if all these three thousand soldiers are lost, it will be a completely bearable loss for Ye Zhao, but if it succeeds, the benefits will be great.

After all, Shuzhong is the most powerful now, with a population of nearly 10 million. From Hanzhong to Jiaozhou in the north to Jiaozhou in the south, Ye Zhao has absolute control. As long as Ye Zhao is willing, he can draw one of three tries and a million troops. The loss of three thousand men is really not a problem. The most important thing is that he is afraid of losing the general Guan Yu.

If Guan Yu dies on this Guanzhong battlefield, it is really worthless. Therefore, Li Ru really doesn't know how to judge the gains and losses of Guan Yu's decision this time, so he didn't continue to say anything.

"Zhou Cang cannot lead the army alone, so he ordered Zhao Yun to lead the troops of the Xiegu Daying and join forces with the Daying in the Fuxian County!" Ye Zhao sighed. At this point, what else could he say? He gave Guan Yu a lot of autonomy and believed in Guan Yu's ability. However, it seems that Guan Yu and Wei Yan's confidence in their abilities must be above Ye Zhao.

Since Li Jue retreated to Ji County, there was no need to continue to station troops in Xiegu. Even if he was not good at the army, he would not go to Xiegu.

"I'll order the army to speed up the march! Before tomorrow evening, I must arrive in Mei County." Ye Zhao stood up and said.

Now that things have come to this point, it is better to create enough deterrence for Li Jue and Guo Si than to make them focus on the main force.

"Here!"

The generals responded to the order, and the army that was originally preparing to camp and rest set off again. At this time, it was still two hundred miles away from Mei County. The Shu army had sufficient training intensity and food supply. Ordinary army, not to mention marching 200 miles day and night, would not be able to do it by marching at night alone.

The food supply of the Shu army will consider balanced nutrition. In the past ten years, there was basically no night blindness in the army, but most of the ordinary army live to varying degrees of night blindness, and even some generals will appear. Therefore, now, the only army in the whole world can march at night is Ye Zhao.

This is also the reason why Ye Zhao is unwilling to expand his army extensively, because once the war begins, the millions of troops sound intimidating, but it is at the cost of the entire Shuzhong economy being stopped or even regressed. Moreover, the food must not be considered as nutritious as it is now. If there are too many troops, the price is because of the lack of food supply. The training intensity must be greatly reduced, and it cannot be directed like the arm as it is now.

"Lord, Zhou Cang wrote that Duan Wei has appeared in the Weishui area and is gathering in the Mei County area. Our opponent this time is probably not just Li Jue and Guo Si, but many Xiliang soldiers in Guanzhong in the whole of Guanzhong." Li Ru followed Ye Zhao's side and bowed.

"At the beginning, Li and Guo claimed that the Xiliang army had 300,000, but according to the investigations of secret spies over the years, among the generals of Xiliang, Li and Guo were the strongest, but Li Jue had only 60,000 troops, Guo Si was about 50,000, Duan Wei had 30,000, Zhu Ci had 10,000, Yang Ding had 10,000, and Zhang Ji was stationed in Hongnong, with only 20,000 troops. In addition, there were also some generals with only 30,000 troops, and the total number of troops was only 20,000. Now, the total number of generals in Guanzhong was only 200,000!" Ye Zhao calculated these and looked at Li Rudao: "I want to know if anyone among these people can be used by me."

The differentiation of the Xiliang Legion was originally a plan prepared by Ye Zhao in the morning. Even if the Shu army can fight and fight with one against two, they may not be defeated in frontal battles. However, soldiers and weapons can also reduce some losses, and Ye Zhao will not do those thankless things.

If the elite troops in Shu were said to have lost money when fighting against overlords such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Ye Zhao would not feel too distressed. However, if he fought against Li Jue and Guo Si, even if the other party had more than twice the number of troops than his own, Ye Zhao would not want to.

"Duan Wei is a suspicious person, but he is the younger brother of the former Grand Marshal Duan Ying. He has a lot of experience in governance. Moreover, the lord made a plan to Li Jue at that time and used it to deal with the Guanzhong family. This person agreed and vigorously promoted it. Now that the Guanzhong land can be kept in chaos, this person can be said to have made considerable contributions." Li Ru smiled.

"Since Duan Ying was appointed as the Grand Marshal, it should be a family, how could Duan Ying help us implement this matter?" Ye Zhaoqi said, this was the first time that someone from a family supported his plan.

"The lord doesn't know that Duan Ying was appointed as the Taiwei because he was attached to the eunuch and captured and killed the Tai Academy's student Guanghe in the second year. Duan Ying was implicated because of the powerful minister Wang Fu, and eventually committed suicide in prison. Since then, the Guzang Duan family has declined because of the incident. Moreover, Duan Ying had persecuted scholars before, although Duan Ying had persecuted scholars, but it was despised by scholars. Even the Huangfu family and Zhang family suppressed more, which made the Duan family devastated. Later, Duan Wei threw himself into Dong Xiang and saved the family, but it was no longer considered a noble family. Duan Wei was a little narrow-minded, so..." Li Ru finally smiled and did not finish his words, but his meaning was almost expressed clearly.

He was narrow-minded, so he held a grudge against the hatred that the scholars in the world suppressed. As long as he could attack the scholar class, Duan Wei would spare no effort to support him. Therefore, when Ye Zhao made a plan for Li Jue and the Chang'an court opposed it, Duan Wei even sent troops to support Li Jue. Guo Si implemented Ye Zhao's policy so that the land in Guanzhong would not be damaged by Li Jue and Guo Si.

Although the starting point is not very brilliant, in fact, Duan Ying has made great contributions to Guanzhong being able to retain its current vitality.

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "That is to say, this person is available?"

As for his narrow-mindedness, Ye Zhao did not let him take his place as his own position, but just became a capable official. Whether he was narrow-minded or not, or his personal morality, Ye Zhao did not pay attention to it, and ability was the most important. Duan Wei now seems to be suitable for being a capable official.

"I am willing to go to Duan Wei's camp and persuade Duan Wei to join the lord." Li Ru immediately bowed to Ye Zhao and said with a smile.

"It would be too dangerous to go in person." Ye Zhao frowned and looked at Li Rudao.

"Don't worry, lord, Duan Wei is narrow-minded and suspicious by nature. There is a gap between him and Li Jue and Guo Si. Even if he doesn't agree, he will never make things difficult for Ru." Li Ru bowed and said, "In addition, I also want to go to Yang Ding, Zhu Ci and Zhang Ji's camp."

"Can these three people surrender?" Ye Zhao looked at Li Ru, Zhang Ji, Yang Ding, and Zhu Ci, all the generals who now have heavy troops in Guanzhong. If they can surrender these people and Duan Ying, they will have already secured the victory before the battle in Guanzhong.

"It may not be surrendered. Zhang Ji is a little cowardly. He has a good personal relationship with Li Jue and Guo Si. Yang Ding and Zhu Ci are people who are inclined to be inclined. Even if they surrender, they will only wait and see and will not really help the lord. But as long as they can convince them to wait and see, Duan Ying is also an insider!" Li Ru shook his head and said, "And most of these two people are a disaster for the people and have a bad reputation. I do not recommend that the lord surrender these two people. Therefore, I will not go here in the name of our army, but hope to instigate these two people to rebel against Li Jue and Guo Si's army stationed here and attack Li Guo's rear. At that time, the lord can justify the lord to remove these two people."

Hua Xiong, who was riding a horse and walking beside Li Ru, heard the corners of his mouth twitching.

I just know that there is no good thing for this scholar!

Ye Zhao didn't know, but he knew that when Dong Zhuo was still there, Yang Ding and Zhu Ci were quite bad to Li Ru. He didn't take Li Ru seriously and often looked down on him. Now Li Ru wants to take this opportunity to take revenge!

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhao nodded and said, "That's fine, but Wenyou went alone. I'm really worried. Why don't you let Wenkai go with you? I remember before Lu Bu, Wenkai was known as the number one general in Xiliang, and he should have some reputation. I'm relieved to let him accompany you."

"Thank you, lord!" Li Ru bowed and smiled, then turned his head to look at Hua Xiong and said, "In this way, I will be busy."

Hua Xiong felt a chill behind him, and Li Ru stared at him. He always felt like he was facing a poisonous snake and wanted to refuse. However, Ye Zhao had already issued an order, so he couldn't disobey it, so he could only barely bow and said, "Receive the order!"

At that moment, Hua Xiong ordered a few people to follow Li Ru and leave the army and headed straight to the Fengshui area, preparing to stop Duan Wei before Duan Wei joins Li Guo's army.
