Closer to home, Han Sui's army is already complex in composition, and there are even many large and small Hu and Qiang tribes among them. It is more like an alliance than a single force.
Facing the enemy army that could not be seen at a glance, they quickly defeated and fled, ignoring the fleeing aliens. Xu Rong led nearly 50,000 people like a giant axe, and slammed Han Sui's army!
Seeing that the important matter had been decided, Marquis Li Wen ordered his troops to follow Xu Rong in pursuit of Han Sui. He looked around to identify the direction, and then led more than 200 people to the dense forest aside. After traveling for more than ten miles, they came to a place. At the foot of the mountain, through the dim moonlight, you can vaguely see a group of people on the opposite side.
The leader put on his helmet and crown. After seeing Li Wenhou, he drew his horse forward alone. The soldiers on both sides did not move. Li Wenhou also waved his hand and stepped forward alone. The two walked side by side. When they reached the edge of the dense forest, they turned over and dismounted. , the general took off his helmet, looked at Li Wenhou, sighed, and said lonely: "Brother Wenhou, long time no see!"
"Yes, it's been more than ten years! How are the brothers who followed you now?"
"..."
He didn’t answer because he didn’t know how to answer. Although he now has 10,000 people under his command, of the 3,000 people he brought out from the tribe, there are now only less than 1,000 left...
This person was Beigong Boyu, who defected from the Xiaoyue clan ten years ago. Looking at the dim mountains and forests in the distance, mist seemed to be steaming in front of Beigong Boyu's eyes, and scenes that had been dusty for many years resurfaced in his mind.
The two children played in the mountains, grew up little by little, and finally got married and started their own businesses. The final scene was of him leaving the village with half of the young tribesmen, Li Wenhou roaring angrily, and seven-year-old Yuchi Yanyan's helpless expression. Eyes.
After patting his sore cheeks a few times, Beigong Boyu said with difficulty: "Brother Wenhou, are you telling the truth? Is the Yan... clan leader really willing to accept us again?"
Hearing this, Marquis Li Wen sighed inwardly, then nodded solemnly and said, "This is what the clan leader personally ordered before leaving, and..." After a slight hesitation, he lowered his voice and whispered to Beigong Boyu.
"Are you telling the truth?!" Beigong Boyu asked in shock.
Li Wenhou made a silent gesture, then looked around and saw that the tribesmen were far apart, and then whispered: "This matter has not yet been made public. Li can guarantee that this is absolutely true." The matter was told to Marquis Wen personally by Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, the confidant on whom the Lord relied most.
Boyu, your goal and mine are both to restore the glory of our clan, but in different ways. That master’s identity is destined to be beyond the comparison of Han Sui and others. Moreover, with the support of Zhang Lu, Lu Bu and others, Coupled with the assistance of his subordinates such as Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Xu Rong, etc., even if he succeeds in the position of Lin Dabao, he will not be able to predict it! To be honest, now that the head of our family is in love with him, sooner or later we will be a family. What does Brother Boyu think? "
"Okay!" Beigong Boyu paced on the spot and couldn't help shouting!
Then he said: "Since the patriarch has decided, Boyu will definitely support him with all his strength. Although Boyu is not talented, he has gained some fame in these years. You and I will act separately later. If Brother Wenhou still trusts Boyu, he will return first." In the Xiaoyue Clan, Boyu personally went to lobby and try to attract more allies for us!"
The two parties discussed for a while and then returned hand in hand. Neither Jia Xu, who was thousands of miles away, nor Xu Shu, who was nearby in Wudu, thought that the Xiaoyue clan, which seemed to be in dire straits, not only protected the safety of He Sian's family, but also helped to settle the situation in Xiliang. The most crucial one!
Speaking of Han Sui's side, neither he nor Xi Zhicai expected that Wudu would react so quickly and lead troops to kill the general on the third day after they just left the border! What Han Sui didn't expect was that when these aliens saw that the opponent was powerful, they immediately fled in all directions. Fortunately, Yan Xing led his men Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and others to resist desperately, giving Han Sui and others a chance to escape. In the middle, Xi Zhicai shouted: "General, where are we rushing to?"
Han Sui hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "So I plan to defect to Ma Chao!!"
"No!!" Xi Zhicai reined in his horse and decisively denied it! "Ma Chao's interests are paramount. If the general's power is still there, it won't be a problem, but if the current plan is gone, he will probably be killed."
"Mr. Nayi said..."
"It is better to go to Jincheng County. It is quite far away from Wudu. Since Xu Rong has been exposed, I believe he will not dare to go deeper alone. Moreover, the general is from Jincheng County, so he must have many connections in the local area! By then, he can reorganize his troops and become a leader. The most powerful person in Liangzhou!" Of course, Xi Zhicai said this with selfish motives. Zhang Ji in the east was no longer able to fight, Ma Chao was wavering, and if Han Sui was not restrained at this time, the entire Liangzhou would be in ruins for many years. There are likely to be variables in the coming layout.
Han Sui also understood Xi Zhicai's selfish motives, but at this point, he did not want to change from being the overlord of Liangzhou to being dependent on others overnight. He sighed deeply in his heart and ordered his troops to flee towards Jincheng County.
Two hours later, the sky was already bright. Since night was not conducive to pursuit, and the food and fodder he brought was limited, Xu Rong had already returned to the previous camp where Han Sui was. However, this raid was to achieve strategic requirements. Although Han Sui's army numbered 50,000 to 60,000, most of them were from foreign tribes. His headquarters only had about 20,000 people. The estimated losses in this battle were about 4,000. His generals Cheng Yi and Yang Qiuzhan die!
The other Qiang tribes have been dispersed, especially Beigong Boyu's surrender, which is an unexpected surprise. I believe that even if Han Sui reorganizes his troops, it will not be a short-term success. After a little repair, Xu Rong divided the troops into three teams according to Xu Shu's instructions before leaving!
One team, led by Xu Rong, returned to Wudu with the wounded, captured horses, and prisoners, and handed over the excess dry food to the rest of the troops, leaving all the horses behind for distribution to the other two teams.
The other two teams, each with 5,000 men, were led by Zang Ba and Liao Hua respectively to Tianshui, cooperating with Lu Bu to wait for an opportunity to harass Li Jue's rear. It is worth mentioning here that Liao Hua was originally He Sian's bodyguard, but He Sian still left him in Wudu before leaving. Firstly, he is needed to protect He's family, and secondly, He Sian still remembers the proverb from his previous life: "There are no generals in Shu, so Liao Hua becomes the vanguard." '
And this sentence is also applicable to Wudu, which is currently short of major generals. In addition, after getting along with each other for these years, He Sian was also surprised to find that although Liao Hua was not the best in leading troops, he could still be calm and measured. , commanded well.
Needless to say, Zang Ba of the other army was one of the best in leading troops in the Heishan army. He originally stayed in Heishan with Zhang Yan, Yu Du, Zhu Jun and others to contain Yuan Shao, but this time He Sian's entry into Sichuan was too important, and he stayed in Wudu. Most of his soldiers were from Montenegro, so He Sian specially transferred Zang Ba to Wudu after some discussions with Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others before leaving.
Wudu, in the meeting hall of the city guard: "Okay!"
After hearing Xu Rong report the results of the battle, Xu Shu slammed the table and said excitedly. At this time, Xu Shu finally let out the stuffy feeling in his chest! First came the news of Lu Bujun's victory, and then Xu Rong and his party returned to Wudu. The most unexpected news was the news from Li Wenhou. As for everyone in the hall, most of them were originally unhappy with He Sian's arrangement of this young man to take on this important task, but they couldn't express it because of He Sian's support! But after this incident, they all became sincerely convinced. It can be said that Liangzhou, which was originally full of murderous intent, suddenly became clearer under Xu Shu's operation, and even a glimmer of light could be seen!
