Chapter 28 Infighting

Two cavalry rushed into Lu Bu's military camp and immediately broke into each tent to kill and set fire, but were surprised to find that each tent was empty!

Li Que shouted in annoyance and cursed: "Damn it! They ran away!" Guo Si's expression changed drastically and shouted: "Not good! I've been trapped!"

However, before he finished speaking, countless torches suddenly appeared from all directions. At the same time, dense rain of arrows roared, and the cavalry of the Western Liang army was caught off guard and was shot over. Guo Si and Li Que hurriedly led the cavalry to break out. However, what greeted them were dense spears. The Western Liang cavalry hit the spear formation and were stabbed into hedgehogs. The screams were heard, and blood was flown on the ground. Seeing this, Guo Si and Li Que hurriedly ran out from the gap between Lu Bu's army. The Western Liang cavalry who had not had time to escape were either knocked over to the ground by the dense rain of arrows or poked into a pool of blood by the spear!

Guo Si and Li Que led the defeated generals to flee back to the camp, and the 20,000 cavalry he brought lost a small amount of money, which was really a matter of stealing chickens and losing rice.

Ailang led his army to take the opportunity to attack the Xiliang army camp. The Xiliang army persisted until dawn, and finally couldn't hold back and left the camp to retreat northwest. Lu Bu's army chased all the way, but most of the Xiliang army were cavalry, while most of the Lu Bu's army were infantry, so the pursuit was not good. Later, Lu Bu's army could hardly catch up. Lu Bu's army chased for more than a hundred miles, and the Xiliang army finally retreated into a pass called Fanxukou. At the suggestion of Zhang Liao, Ailang stopped the pursuit and led his army back to Wuyue Mountain. In this battle, although the Xiliang army suffered little loss of troops, it lost all the supplies, and the morale of the army was turbulent and low. It was impossible to launch another attack in a short period of time.

Chen Gong was very excited when he received the good news from Ai Lang and couldn't help but praise: "It is said that 'Lu Bu is among the people, and red rabbit is among the horses.' I didn't believe it at first, but today I realized that it is indeed worthy of its reputation!" Then he called Bei Ma, hurried out of the mansion, rode a horse and rushed to Wang Yun's mansion.

As soon as Chen Gong saw Wang Yun, he immediately said: "Tai Shi, Lu Fengxian defeated the Western Liang army!"

Wang Yun rolled his eyes and said lightly: "I already know this."

Chen Gong hurriedly said, "Now the morale of the Xiliang army has been greatly reduced. This is a great opportunity to defeat the Xiliang army in one fell swoop. The Grand Tutor can personally lead the troops guarding Chang'an and transfer Xu Rong's army to support Fengxian. It will definitely defeat Guo Si and Li Qiu in one fell swoop! If this battle is successful, the situation in Guanzhong will be settled!"

Wang Yun said: "How can this be done! If Xu Rong and Chang'an's troops were transferred away and Yuan Shao took the opportunity to lead his army westward, wouldn't Chang'an and His Majesty the Emperor be in danger?"

Chen Gong said: "Yuan Shao is attacking Gongsun Zan in a hurry. How can he take action? The Grand Master doesn't have to worry! Please send troops quickly. Don't miss the opportunity and never come again!"

"Even if Yuan Shao doesn't have to worry, other princes may not have the idea of ​​advancing westward to rob the saint's carriage!"

"Liu Zhang's drunkard and sex have no ambitions. Liu Biao in Jingzhou is fighting with Sun Jian. As for Yuan Shu, he is now trying to attack Xuzhou. The Grand Tutor does not have to worry at all!"

Wang Yun just shook his head: "No. I can't take this risk. Although what you said makes sense, there is a possibility for everything. If it happens, wouldn't it be too late for me to regret it!"

Chen Gong looked at Wang Yun, and his expression showed a look of scrutiny. Then he nodded and said, "I understand! Grand Master, you want to sit in the mountains and watch the tigers and fight to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Wang Yun was touched by Chen Gong, and couldn't help but feel angry and shouted, "Bold! How dare you talk to this Grand Master like this!"

Chen Gong said angrily: "Now that the enemy is in front of you, you still have this kind of in-fighting idea! When the disaster comes, you will regret it!"

Wang Yun was furious and shouted: "Blow out this crazy gangster!"

Immediately, two guards came in and held Chen Gong on the left and right and dragged him out. Chen Gong shouted: "Wang Yun, this is the only opportunity! Although Lu Fengxian won several games, his troops were extremely different from the enemy. After Niu Fu's troops and Guo Li met, the situation of the battle will definitely take a sharp turn! If you don't listen to me, I will regret it!"

Wang Yun shouted angrily: "Drag out!" Chen Gong's voice gradually became unable to hear.

Wang Yun was still angry and calmed down after a while. Thinking of the current situation, Wang Yun couldn't help but feel worried. Don't get me wrong. Wang Yun was not worried about what Chen Gong said, but was worried that Lu Bu would eventually defeat Guo Si and Li Que. At that time, he could not control Lu Bu at all. Thinking of this, Wang Yun was worried and felt that there was only one way to solve this problem. He immediately returned to the study to write down the situation of Lu Bu's army and the supply route of food and supplies. Then Wang Yun sealed the military machine into a cloth bag containing bamboo slips, called a confidant, and told him to leave the city immediately and rush to Fanxukou to hand the letter to Guo Si and Li Que. After doing this, Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everything was in his own control.

Guo Si and Li Que led a large army to camp at Fanxukou, and finally waited for Niu Fu's army. The addition of tens of thousands of new forces and a large amount of food and supplies greatly boosted the morale of the Xiliang army.

Guo Si, Li Qu, Niu Fu and others discussed the march strategy, but they felt that Lu Bu was really difficult to win, so Guo Si wanted to use a surprise soldier to bypass Lu Bu's army and raid Chang'an.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, an officer came in to report: "Report to several generals, we caught a spy. He said that he came from the capital and was a close confidant of Lord Li Ru. I have important news to report to you."

Everyone was overjoyed, and Guo Si said happily: "I am worried about not knowing the situation in Chang'an. This person is coming just right!" Then he asked the officer to bring the person up immediately.

After a while, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance was taken to the big tent. When he saw Guo Si and others, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Little Li Lu pays homage to all the generals!"

Guo Si looked at him, but didn't recognize him, and asked, "Are you really from Lord Li Ru's house?"

Li Lu said: "Yes."

Guo Si asked again: "I heard that Lord Li Ru was killed by a family. How did you escape?"

Li Lu said: "At that time, the villain happened to go out to do business, so he escaped."

Guo Si narrowed his eyes and said, "That's a coincidence!" Then he shouted sternly, "Come on! Drag the spy of Lu Bu and chop it down!" Even after two soldiers rushed up, he held Li Lu and dragged it outside. Li Lu could not resist and shouted angrily, "I came to help the general, but you want to kill me, if I had known this, I should have escaped to Guandong!"

Guo Si immediately shouted: "Let's wait!"
