"Lord, your morale is lost, please withdraw your troops." The general holding the axe sighed and looked at Wei Ji and said.

Before, Jie Hong was useless to beat Guan Yu. Who knew that when the fight was fought, the three brothers replaced the other three swords. If I had known this, it would have been better to rush forward from the beginning, and the chances of winning would be greater.

It is not difficult to understand what Ye Zhao is? Not only is he a famous general of the Han Dynasty, but he also has many powerful generals under his tent. Guan Yu dared to detour and attack Chang'an with three thousand soldiers. He was not bad in terms of courage or vision. How could such a person be so unbearable to what Jie Hong said?

However, these three brothers are not very capable, but bragging is louder than the other. They are smaller in death, and the whole army is so tired that they are depressed. They really don’t care about death.

Nowadays, the morale of the soldiers in the army is low and it is really not suitable to start a war. Guan Yu's command has not only brought out of the city, but also soldiers and horses to support it in the city, which is really not suitable to start a war.

Guan Yu ignored these people and circled in front of the formation for a while. After seeing that there was no other way, he drove his horse back to the camp.

"The courage of the general is, no one in the world can defeat!" Wei Yan stepped forward with excitement and bowed to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu shook his head when he heard this. Not to mention Lu Bu at Hulao Pass back then, just in Ye Zhao's army, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun are not inferior to him in terms of martial arts. In addition, there are Zhang Liao, Guan Hai, Hua Xiong and other three brothers...

"Where is the troops sent by Li Jue now?" Guan Yu looked at Wei Yan and asked.

"I have arrived in Xinfeng, only thirty miles away!" Wei Yan sneered: "It seems that he was also using the idea of ​​fisherman to benefit!"

Li Ying's troops actually came earlier than Ji Ling. He saw the Hedong army attacking Chang'an, so he chose to hold on and fight, so he naturally wanted to reap profits.

"Ji Ling guards the city, and the rest of them follow me to camp!" Guan Yu glanced at the direction of the Hedong Army camp, and walked around the city in full view of everyone.

"What do they mean?" The general holding an axe frowned in the Hedong army.

"It's a trick to lure the enemy!" Wei Ji snorted coldly, glanced at the soldiers behind him, and sighed in his heart: "Today we will retreat first to calm our morale, and we will fight the enemy again tomorrow!"

"Here!" The axe-holding general bowed and began to command the army to retreat to the camp.

...

Mei County, Ye Zhao's camp, Li Jue, and Guo Si are now actively preparing for the war, but Ye Zhao's focus is no longer on Li Guo and Guo. In the first place in Mei County, the entire Jingzhao and even the Sanjiao are within reach of Ye Zhao. Although Li Jue and Guo Si have strong troops, Chang'an has been lost and their retreat has been cut off. As long as they find the place where the two of them are storing grain, they can be broken in one fell swoop. Guan Yu heard that there is not too much grain reserve in Chang'an City, that is, Li Jue has another place to store grain. Now Ye Zhao has secretly ordered people to inform Li Ru, asking Li Ru to find the place where the two of them are in the storing grain. As for Ye Zhao, he is now studying the other people who are now having the same idea as him.

Wei Ji, Lu Bu and Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang.

According to the information sent back from various places, although Ma Teng and Han Sui had not launched a large army, the two had secretly gathered a large number of troops to station Yu Zuli. This distance could threaten the five counties of Longyou at any time. Although Fang Yue and Ding Li were stationed there, there were not many troops. Ye Zhao had drawn some of the troops sent to the two at the beginning to transport the baggage. Now the actual forces of the two were only 4,000 Shu troops and 3,000 Xiliang surrendered troops, and a total of only 7,000 people. If Han Sui and Ma Teng attacked in large numbers, Ye Zhao would be afraid that he would not be able to stop this number of troops.

However, Ma Teng and Han Sui are still in a wait-and-see state. Otherwise, the place where the two stationed their troops would not be Zu Li but Ping Guan. This place is the best point of effort. Once the troops are launched, they can directly threaten Jingzhao County. Therefore, Ye Zhao judged that this news was deliberately released by Ma Teng and Han Sui to induce him.

Although Zu Li is important, it is not suitable to get a piece of the pie in this battle in Guanzhong. Zu Li is the most threatening of the five counties of Longyou. Therefore, Ye Zhao judged that Han Sui and Ma Teng were either unintentional to participate in the war, bluffed, or attacked the east and west. Zu Li was to lure the enemy, and his real intention was still here.

Therefore, Ye Zhao did not increase troops to Longyou, but sent someone to send orders to order Fang Yue and Ding Li to pull out their troops at night, and then take back the troops to the city during the day, blocking the cities at the same time to form a force to increase troops. He also made a bluff and increased the intensity of the investigation of Pingguan area. Ye Zhao could be sure that if Han Sui and Ma Teng really wanted to share the pie with him in Guanzhong, the troops would have surpassed Pingguan.

Although his eyes were already on the entire Guanzhong area, the military's primary goal was to concentrate on eliminating Li and Guo. After all, the Xiliang Army was the largest hostile force now. Whether it was Ma Teng, Han Sui, Lu Bu or Wei Ji, the combined force was not as good as the two. Before eliminating the two, Ye Zhao was not able to send too many troops to fight on multiple fronts.

"Thirty thousand troops should be the entire family of the Wei family in Hedong. I think Wei Ji will never be willing to spend all of these 30,000 troops here. Therefore, there are ten thousand troops in Chang'an now. As long as General Guan guards the city carefully, Wei Ji will have no chance to take advantage of it!" Xu Rong bowed and said.

"As for Lu Bu who has now attacked Hongnong, Nanyang is too far from Guanzhong. Unless Lu Bu is willing to abandon the foundation that Nanyang has managed for ten years and devote his efforts to attack Guanzhong, I will not think that Lu Bu will spread his troops. Hongnong and Zhang Ji did not participate in this battle. With him, it will be difficult for Lu Bu to attack Guanzhong. At most, it will be robbed and withdrawn to Nanyang."

Ye Zhao nodded silently when he heard this, and suddenly looked at Zhang Liao who was a little depressed and smiled: "Wenyuan, go to Longxi and exchange Fang Yue back. If our army can defeat Li Jue and Guo Si in this battle, we will take down Beidi County next. Then this is the place to use troops. If you cooperate with Ding Li, if you win this battle, you will add reinforcements to you."

"Here!" Zhang Liao came to his senses, took a deep breath, and bowed to Ye Zhaoyi: "Thank you lord!"

Regardless of whether Lu Bu can break through Zhang Ji or lead his army through Huayin, the Shu army may fight with Lu Bu. Lu Bu is mostly under his command of the Bingzhou army. As the former Bingzhou army, Zhang Liao obviously had a conflict with the Bingzhou army. Ye Zhao transferred him to Longyou to avoid Zhang Liao from fighting with his former robes and fellow villagers.

"The land in Hedong is rich, and the Wei family has some personal grudges. After this battle, Hedong needs to be taken down both public and private, and it is also a springboard for our army to advance to Bingzhou in the future. In this battle, I don't want too many people to go back to the Wei family's 30,000 troops." Ye Zhao smiled and said: "This land in Guanzhong requires population development. Now that the population in Guanzhong has withered, this is not the atmosphere that the ancient capital should have."

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment and bowed to Ye Zhao, "Lord, Yun is willing to lead a side army to detour and attack the enemy's back, and occupy the land of Hedong before the guard returns."

"This idea is good." Ye Zhao nodded in praise. Now, Zhao Yun has gradually developed some of his own style of playing through the past ten years of continuous learning. He can be called a general, rather than a brave general who only knows how to fight bravely, which makes Ye Zhao very pleased.

"But!" Ye Zhao looked at Zhao Yun and said, "I believe Zilong's ability, but Zilong is too kind. Let me ask you, what should I do if someone surrenders first and then betrays?"

Zhao Yun bowed and said, "No matter whether it really surrenders or not, after the city is destroyed, they will be imprisoned. After the war, they will be identified one by one. If someone incites rebellion, he should be punished first!"

Ye Zhao's eyes lit up and he praised: "It seems that over the years of military training and academy study have made Zilong grow a lot. If you are the main general, how many people will be needed?"

"Five thousand light campers and cavalry are enough!" Zhao Yun thought carefully for a moment and bowed.

"Okay, it's easy for you to have five thousand soldiers. I hope Zilong can give him a surprise when the guard covets back to his army!" Ye Zhao smiled and handed out a command arrow.

"Here!" Zhao Yun bowed and took the command arrow, turned around and strode away.

Xu Rong looked at the direction where Zhao Yun left and frowned and said, "Lord, Zilong is indeed both brave and brave now, but he is too kind to be able to do it!"

"Everyone needs to grow!" Ye Zhao shook his head: "How has Zilong performed in the academy and the army in recent years?"

"Whether military tactics or military governance are all top-notch!" Xu Rong bowed and said.

"What he lacks now is just the experience of being alone!" Ye Zhao sighed: "He is a good talent and needs to go through these things to grow. Now our enemy, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Wei Ji, Lu Bu and others, to be honest, are not strong. Even if Zilong is defeated at this time, we can afford to lose. But after this battle, what our army has to face is the world's strong army. Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu are all not easy people. At that time, we can't afford to lose. This is the time for his training. I hope he can lose once. Sometimes, this failure is more valuable than success!"

"The lord is far-sighted, and it's not enough!" Xu Rong bowed and bowed.

"Don't say these words, go and prepare for deployment. This time, Li Jue and Guo Si may not dare to resist the city and defend it. They told him with their fists that our army can teach them how to be a human being, whether it is defending the city or fighting in the field!" Ye Zhao laughed.

"I'll make preparations now and I will definitely defeat the thief army!" Xu Rongsu said politely.

"Report~"

At this moment, a battalion general came in and handed a bamboo tube to Uncle Liang and said, "Lord, General Guan just sent someone to him."

"Oh?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows, took the bamboo tube from Uncle Liang's hand, pulled out a piece of letter from it, and looked over at ten lines at a glance.

"This cloud is long!" After reading the letter, Ye Zhao threw the letter on the table, not knowing whether to do it or expression.

"What happened?" Xu Rong looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.

"Last night, Yun Chang led his army to attack Xinfeng, killed Li Jie's general Li Ying, and defeated his army. Now the siege west of Chang'an has been lifted." Ye Zhao frowned.

"Is this a good thing?" Xu Rong said in confusion.

"It's a good thing, but Yun Chang's temperament is, I'm afraid that if he keeps doing this, he will suffer sooner or later!" Ye Zhao shook his head. Although it's the easiest to make contributions, the gains are always proportional to the risks. Ye Zhao really doesn't know how to evaluate it if he likes to take risks like Guan Yu.
