By the way, Ma Teng and Han Sui on the other side have led their troops to gradually approach Gongyang. At this moment, Li Jue was still troubled by the matter of the Chuan Guo Jade Seal, and was considering how to go to Luoyang to find the Chuan Guo Jade Seal hidden by Guo Bin.
At this time, I suddenly heard my soldiers coming to report: "Report to the general, a large army has appeared in the southwest."
"It seems that the direction they are heading towards is our Gongyang, which is now less than a hundred miles away!"
After hearing the news, Li Jue immediately stood up from his chair and said, "Have you seen the handsome flag clearly?"
"Who is the other party? How dare you march in my direction so openly!"
Soldier: "Look clearly, the military flag has the characters Korean and Horse written on it."
"It's the Xiliang army led by Ma Teng and Han Sui on the border, with a total of 200,000 troops!"
After hearing the news, Li Jue understood at this moment that this was definitely for him. After all, there is only one warlord in Gongyang, and both the Young Emperor and Dong Zhuo are dead.
Then those people are likely to suspect that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom is in their hands. Ma Teng and Han Sui must have been eager to defeat them and get the Jade Seal of the Kingdom.
Or maybe there is more than just this army, after all, there are many people who want to pass on the national jade seal.
Li Jue continued to ask: "Except for the army coming from this direction, are there armies from the other three directions?"
"If so, who is it?"
The soldier answered truthfully: "General, our spies have only discovered the 200,000 Xiliang army led by Ma Teng and Han Sui in this direction."
"There is still nothing found in the remaining three directions. And there is no sign of any trouble at all!"
After hearing the soldier's answer, Li Jue's frightened heart calmed down a lot. After a moment of slowing down, he said: "Now immediately gather all the soldiers to the city to prepare for the enemy's arrival."
"In addition, there are traps and a small number of ambushes set up within a radius of twenty miles outside the city. Just make sure the traps are triggered."
"With the marching speed of an army of 200,000, even if they are the fastest, it will still take them two days to completely complete the one hundred mile journey!"
Soldier: "No!"
Later, Li Jue, who was worried, followed him out. After all, this was for his own safety, so he had to grab everything important himself.
On the school grounds, all the generals are waiting for Li Jue's arrival.
Looking at them, Li Jue didn't even draw a picture. Instead, he asked in a matter-of-fact manner: "Everyone, how have I treated you since I took power?"
"How does it compare to Dong Zhuo and Guo Si?"
Everyone: "Okay, there's meat to eat and wine to drink!"
"Yes, there are endless women to play with. It's simply heaven on earth!"
"Even a god can't compare to a day like this!"
After hearing their answers, Li Jue continued: "Very good. In that case, there is a Xiliang army of 200,000 men led by Ma Teng and Han Sui in the southwest who wants to kill us. What should you do?"
"This time they are coming with force and want to take our heads to make a mark."
"Are you really willing to give your lives in vain?"
I have to say that Li Jue is really good at inspiring people. No wonder so many of Guo Si's subordinates betrayed Guo Si and took refuge with Li Jue.
At this moment, Li Jue was mobilizing their emotions bit by bit and continued: "The other party wants to deprive us of everything, can you agree?"
Everyone at the bottom shouted: "No, no, no!"
Everyone acted outraged, as if they were the victims.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Li Jue continued: "Very good, in that case, then follow my general's command."
"This general is going to take you and tear them apart. Can you do it?"
Everyone: "I swear to follow the general to the death, and I am willing to live and die with him!"
At this moment, the Gongyang army was mobilized entirely by Li Jue alone.
At present, everything has achieved the effect he wanted, so he began to arrange his troops and said: "Where is the quartermaster?"
Someone immediately stood up from below and said, "The end is here!"
Li Jue: "Let me ask you, how much food, grass and arrow feathers do we have in the army now?"
Quartermaster: "There is still enough food and grass for our army to consume for about a month and a half, and there are a total of 600,000 arrows."
"But there are only three thousand bows!"
Li Jue was not surprised at all by this news. In his opinion, it would be surprising if there were more than so many items. After all, Lu Bu didn't know how much food, grass, bows and arrows he took with him when he left.
Li Jue: "Very good. Next, I order you to take people to collect all the gold juice and poison in the city, and form a bow and arrow regiment of 1,500 people."
"And each archer in the archery regiment must be equipped with three deputies, who are responsible for helping them string the bow."
"I will give you half a day to select the best 1,500 archers from among the original elite archers."
"Can it be done?"
After hearing this, the quartermaster immediately said: "General, please rest assured, the general is willing to issue a military order."
"If you can't do it, the general will come and see you!"
Although he said this, the quartermaster felt in his heart that Li Jue was a very vicious person.
In large-scale wars, although there are no clear regulations. But these underlying rules must be followed by almost everyone, because meat is the most precious labor force in society.
What's more, they are all men, but the quartermaster can only carry out such orders.
You know, in ancient wars. Using gold juice to fight is already a lower limit. If someone breaks this lower limit again.
Then in the future, no princes and generals will be willing to abide by such unspoken rules, and more and more people will die.
In the end, even the most basic survival may be a luxury.
After Li Jue finished speaking, he also noticed that the young general below looked at him strangely, but he knew that he had to do this.
Otherwise, when the war ends this time, he might be the one who dies.
Li Jue: "Don't think that this general is vicious, if we don't do this."
"Then we are the ones who will die. Are you willing to die?"
After Li Jue's words, the dissatisfied thoughts of those below have completely disappeared. Because none of them would want to die to achieve the righteousness of others.
Because most of them are just farmers, and even more of them were refugees before. If they hadn't been lucky enough to be subdued by Dong Zhuo, they might have been in a corner without knowing it.
Therefore, they were deeply touched by Li Jue's words.
Everyone: "I don't want to, I don't want to!"
This is what they really think, no one wants to die like this. What's more, war is originally a life-and-death situation.
Li Jue looked at their performance and continued: "Very good, which one of you is willing to lead ten thousand people to cut down all the trees within a ten-mile radius and transport them into the city?"
"Who is willing to lead 30,000 elites to lay traps within 20 miles of Gongyang City?"
Not surprisingly, there were people who were willing to step forward and implement these things very quickly. Because Li Jue let them know that they were not fighting for him, Li Jue, but fighting so that they could survive.
Everything is not for them Li Jue, but for themselves.
After arranging everything, Li Jue returned to his mansion and immediately found his cronies and said, "Let me ask you, is there any other way out of Gongyang City?"
Confidant: "Sir, although Gongyang City is not as good as Luoyang, it will not leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of, so there is no other way out except the four city gates."
After hearing the news, Li Jue waved to his cronies to get down, and then murmured: "It seems that the glory of my life, Li Jue, ends here."
When it comes to marching and fighting, Li Jue knows how much he weighs. But today's situation is completely different. Ma Teng and Han Sui will take the lead in attacking themselves. Then more people will be eyeing him, or rather eyeing the non-existent jade seal in his hand.
However, the young emperor died in the hands of himself and Guo Bang. And everyone in the world today thinks that the Imperial Seal is in the hands of themselves and Guo Bang, and they have already confirmed this.
Although Guo Bang himself was killed by himself, the princes in the world naturally only focused on him.
Everything is just centered around the national jade seal. So what if they knew that the Imperial Seal was not in their hands?
As long as the Imperial Seal has not yet become a reality, those princes will find ways to kill him even if it is not in their hands.
At first, Li Jue felt that the princes of the world would not attack him so quickly, but now in less than ten days, Ma Teng and Han Sui had already come straight to him.
But unfortunately, even Li Jue regretted it now and it was too late. He could only fight to the death with Ma Teng and Han Sui. This was his only chance of survival.
Night fell quietly. At this moment, the army led by Han Sui and Ma Teng was less than eighty miles away from Gongyang.
At this moment, Han Sui and Ma Teng were warming themselves by the fire outside the camp. A soldier came to report: "General, the soldiers have now found out."
"The scouts came back and said that Li Jue had discovered us this afternoon, so at this moment Li Jue has already set up defenses in Gongyang against the arrival of our army."
Ma Teng and Han Sui were not surprised at all when they heard this answer from their subordinates. They had been fighting for a lifetime.
How could they not know what would happen during the war? What Li Jue did now seemed to them to be just the most basic defense.
But this time they brought enough food and soldiers, and they had no intention of fighting Li Jue from the beginning.
Because it's not worth it, mainly because even if they eliminate Li Kuer, all the princes in the world will turn a blind eye. Moreover, this is what the princes of the world want them to do.
Only in this way, the moment when the jade seal of the Chuan Dynasty comes into their hands and the moment when Li Jue dies. The big man is really over.
Ma Teng: "Okay, let's go eat something and have a good rest. We have to travel tomorrow."
Soldier: "No!"
After the soldiers left, Han Sui said, "We didn't face any trouble from anyone in the places we passed along the way."
"It can be said that it went very smoothly. It seems that the two of us brothers can only be executioners once."
"It's just that the tickets to the Zhuolu Central Plains are really not something ordinary princes can afford."
After Han Sui finished speaking, he smiled. Then I took a sip of hot water and enjoyed the moment of tranquility.
Ma Teng: "Yeah, but what can I do?"
"If we don't choose him, Li Jue, but other princes."
"Do you think we have a chance to take over the Central Plains? It's obviously impossible, with cake and wine so big."
"And all the princes in the world have already divided it up. We can't touch the other cakes for the time being."
"So, only this guy who is despised by the world and the princes of the world can move. There is no need to worry about us being attacked from both sides. It's just that after winning, we will still be targeted by the princes of the world."
"After all, how many people can refuse the eight characters of longevity and longevity, which are ordered by heaven?"
The two looked at each other and chuckled.
Yes, someone who can resist the temptation of Chuan Guo Jade Seal. There are not many in the world. If there are, then the other party must be planning more.
Afterwards, the two also went to rest. In addition to the patrolling soldiers, there were also some torches burning. Only the stars in the sky accompany this army.
However, at this moment, there were three old men talking in the residence of Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui.
Zuo Ci: "It seems that this time all of us have lost."
"Unexpectedly, these two guys from the Greedy Wolf Star and the Seven Killing Star were far beyond our expectations, especially your Sima family boy."
Sima Hui: "You're a drunkard, and you're still talking arrogantly like this in my place."
"Besides, I won't get involved in junior matters."
Nanyang Old Immortal: "Hey, in my opinion, Qisha, Greedy Wolf and Pojun will definitely not be able to fight easily."
"Especially since the current greedy wolf nature has not yet started to take action, everything is still unknown."
"If you, Sima Hui, had never left here, I would have even doubted whether you, the guy, got involved in the game yourself?"
They were supposed to be fighting to the death, but now they were sitting here talking. Nothing more than that they found that things were getting more and more out of their control.
Moreover, the masters of Greedy Wolf, Qisha and Pojun Sanxing have not yet been completely determined, which means that their fates have not been completely settled yet.
Therefore, in order to prevent things from going beyond their control, they are sitting together to discuss new countermeasures.
Moreover, if nothing else happens, they will choose to cooperate. Together they seek the luck of a dynasty in order to extend their lives and cultivate themselves into immortals.
As for the princes in the world today, in their eyes they are just chess pieces.
If Yuan Shu were here, he would definitely know who they were. It can be said that these gray-haired old guys are the real culprits of the Three Kingdoms.
They are Sima Hui, Zuo Ci, Nanyang Laoxian and a guy whose name I don't know. Wearing a veil and a hat, he has remained silent since he sat down.
