Chapter 22 Reconciliation
A war with a small number of people but almost one-sided war not only caused Li Jue to lose more than 20,000 troops, but more importantly, the loss of Ji County, Li Jue had nowhere to defend himself. Ji Ling's troops went to support Guan Yu, but Li Jue could not stop it, because Ye Zhao sent Zhao Yun and Guan Hai to lead his army to cruise on the side, monitoring Li Jue's army's every move, making Li Jue dare not move lightly.
Chang'an has fallen. Although there are still several cities, the strong equipment of the Shu army's siege is difficult to guard without Chang'an and other big cities. Now, Chang'an has fallen in Ye Zhao's hands. Li Jue now has tens of thousands of troops, but nowhere to stand.
Now Li Jue can only join Guo Si and join forces with Guo Si to fight Ye Zhao. The two have always had the advantage, whether the emperor was still in Chang'an or later turned against each other, Li Jue has always had the advantage, but this time, the difference between the main and the second is probably going to be replaced.
Li Jue was unwilling to accept it, but the situation was stronger than others. The combat effectiveness of the Shu army was far beyond his estimate. Even if he had to face Ye Zhao without those siege equipment, Li Jue felt guilty. He had to use Guo Si's power to compete with Ye Zhao.
Wugong County.
When Guo Si learned that Li Jue was defeated in one battle, lost Ji County, and even suffered losses, he was also very surprised.
Although the two were a little dirty before and were unhappy later, Guo Si still knew a little about Li Jue's ability. He was not a top-level general, but he was definitely not mediocre. When Dong Zhuo was alive, Hua Xiong was the number one strong general in Xiliang, but in terms of status, he was ranked behind Zhang Ji. At that time, Dong Zhuo was also evaluating his talents. Li Jue was able to rank first general under Dong Zhuo because of his ability to command troops.
This is also why Li Jue has always occupied the dominant position in Guanzhong. His ability to command troops and fight is definitely the best among the generals in Guanzhong.
Leading an army of 50,000 to station in Mei County, even if Ye Zhao is powerful, in Guo Si's opinion, Li Jue, who fought in one battle, abandoned the city and fled, was a bit unscientific.
"What's going on?" The next day, Li Jue escaped to Wu Gong and ordered people to set up camps. After finding Guo Si, he was in danger of survival and death. Guo Si was still a little unbelievable when he saw Li Jue's embarrassing appearance.
"The Shu army is too strong!" Li Jue took the water handed over by Guo Si, drank it dry in one breath, and said with a breath: "The catapult cart, the wells, the siege ladder, the crossbow arrows, and the soldiers' armor, there is no defense! Three or five soldiers can surround and kill the generals of our army, and there will be no casualties!"
In these days, no matter how hard a general in the army, he would not be too bad. Even if Li Xian was ignorant, he was absolutely strong in martial arts. More than a dozen strong men could not get close to him.
"It's really so awesome?" Guo Si said in shock.
"Well, that armor looks like the vine armor of the Southern Barbarians. When Dong Xiang was alive, someone sent a few pairs of them, not afraid of swords and guns, but only fire. However, the vine armor in Ye Zhao's army was wrapped in leather, and it was difficult to attack with fire." Li Jue nodded and sat down with a little depressed voice: "Although there are not many vine armor soldiers, it would be a problem if they really fought against each other. There is also the catapult cart that can not only shoot 200 steps, but also extremely accurate. What's more terrible is that the stone bullet will shatter once it hits the ground. Although it does not damage the city wall, the broken stones are stronger than arrow clusters, and there are almost no living people in a radius of one or two meters. When we fight with Ye Zhao again, we must not resist the city and defend it. The siege equipment alone is enough to destroy morale."
"But if you fight head-on..." Guo Si was a little hesitant. Now, with Duan Wei's troops, the total number of troops was 0,000, which was only about 150,000. Li Jue also distributed 10,000 troops to attack Chang'an. Guo Si was a little unsure whether the remaining troops could win against Ye Zhao.
"If we don't fight head-on, our army has no chance of winning at all!" Li Jue gritted his teeth and said, "Although the Shu army's equipment is powerful, it is only a part of it. Most of them are still ordinary equipment. We have a lot of people, and we may not have no chance of winning after we attack separately."
Guo Si nodded silently and looked at Li Jue and said, "I heard the news, is Chang'an lost?"
When Li Jue heard this, his expression suddenly became even more ugly. He nodded with an unlucky look: "It should be that the Shu army attacked from Ziwu Valley, with not many people, but only three thousand troops. If the Wei family had not taken action, they would not have been able to get profit. I have ordered Li Ying and Li Li to lead the army to counterattack, hoping to capture it."
"How could the Wei family take action?" Guo Si said in surprise. The Wei family had been very peaceful in the past few years. If it weren't for this action, Guo Si would have almost forgotten the existence of the Wei family.
"I can see it." Li Jue cursed hatefully: "These scholars are more sensible than the other. Ye Zhao entered Sichuan for ten years and was not inferior to the Wei family. There was no reason to send troops this time. It was obvious that Ye Zhao had accumulated enough strength and wanted to annex the land in Guanzhong in one breath. The Wei family's kid was not at ease!"
Guo Si was silent when he heard this. Before that, Ye Zhao had a good relationship with them. Not only did he send food every year, he even made plans to help them stabilize Guanzhong. Who would have thought that he would turn against him? Moreover, this time he sent troops, it was a thunderous momentum, including the five counties of Longyou, Ji County, and Chang'an. It took only a long time before they had lost their city and land.
"At this point, you and I must unite." Li Jue looked at Guo Si and said.
"Aren't we joining forces now?" Guo Si looked at Li Jue for some reason.
"You should know that I'm not talking about this!" Li Jue looked at Guo Si seriously and said, "Just like you and I counterattacked Chang'an, you and I have a close cooperation to have a chance of winning. How about the grudges and grudges in the past be eliminated?"
Speaking of which, Li Jue was actually angry. They broke up. After all, it was not Guo Si's inexplicable woman who was gossiping and jealousy that caused the entire Guanzhong collapse and warlords' separatist forces. If it weren't for the two of them breaking up, why would this be?
"You really didn't think about harming me?" Guo Si looked at Li Jue and said. In addition to the reason for the woman, Li Jue killed Fan Chou and Li Meng, which also made Guo Si's heart shadow, so he was worried that Li Jue would kill him together and occupy the land of Guanzhong alone.
"Nonsense, if I was really evil at that time, I had the chance to harm you. How could I be so stupid as to tamper with food? I would eat those things differently?" Li Jue glared and said angrily.
"Okay, I will believe you again!" Guo Si nodded fiercely. At this point, there seems to be no other way out except this. Under Ye Zhao's oppression, the two men who had been fighting for nearly three years were considered to be back together.
The next morning, Li Jue and Guo Si summoned all the generals and invited Duan Wei to discuss plans to deal with Ye Zhao. One thing is certain, you must not fight against Ye Zhao in the city. The Shu army's siege weapons were really terrifying. Fighting to defend the city was like committing one's own sin.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that you'll take action when you come here? Why did he and Guo Si get back together??" After the discussion was done, Li Jue and Guo Si asked the generals to prepare. After Hu Feng left the tent, he saw that there was no one around, pulled Duan Wei into a corner and whispered angrily as he pressed Duan Wei.
"General, don't worry, you have a chance!" Duan Wei whispered: "Now it's just under pressure, and the two sides have to join forces. As long as you and I try to provoke, they will definitely turn against each other. But you and I will help Li Jue kill Guo Si and then eliminate Li Jue!"
"When will we wait!" Hu Feng felt like he was going crazy. He was thinking about how to kill Li Jue, but in front of Li Jue, he had to pretend to be nothing and a loyal minister, worried that Li Jue would see something.
He really didn't think about such a life, and he wanted to rush in with his knife now and kill Li Jue and Guo Si together.
"A little impatience will cause trouble!" Duan Wei patted Hu Feng's shoulder and smiled: "I won't wait too long!"
"It's better!" Hu Feng snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
