I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 118
At this time, Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang occupied Tianshui. Through scouting, they learned that Guangwei County was occupied by an army of unknown origin, with a strength of at least [-]. This surprised them too.

"Why did this group of unknown enemy troops appear here? Could it be that Dong Zhuo has already been defeated and this place is occupied by the princes of the Kanto?" The two were also exchanging opinions, and both felt a little tricky and annoying.

Originally, they came out to help Dong Zhuo resist the Kwantung Allied Forces, but Dong Zhuo may have been defeated in the end. The [-] army mobilized the army, but the army failed to succeed, which made the relationship between the two embarrassing.

In order to find out the enemy's situation, the two decided to lead their troops to Linwei, the prefecture of Guangwei County, to find out the real situation of the enemy's army.

At the foot of the city, from a distance, the top of the city has been replaced with a black Li character banner, and there is a general flag beside the big flag, which is impressively written with the simple and simple Zhao character.

The two lived in Xiliang for a long time, and they didn't know much about the situation in the Central Plains, so they couldn't figure out which god this was for a while.

The murderous Ma Chao on the side didn't care at all, but said proudly: "Father commander, whoever occupies him, the one who stops our army is our enemy, let the boy lead the troops to take down Linwei, and you will know when the time comes." .”

Looking at the reckless Ma Chao, Ma Teng yelled angrily, "Don't be reckless. The enemy's situation is unknown, so don't act rashly. Don't you know how to be a general? Hurry up and back down!"

Ma Chao was reprimanded by his father, and retreated somewhat dissatisfied, and did not speak anymore.

Ma Teng looked at his somewhat reckless son, sighed lightly, and ordered: "Pang De, lead the army to call the formation and find out the real situation of the enemy."

Behind Ma Teng, a burly man galloped out and said respectfully, "No, the last general has orders!"

Immediately, Pang led his headquarters of 1 horses, separated from the army formation, and rushed towards Linwei with great momentum.

Under the gate of the city, he yelled loudly: "He Fangxiao occupies Guangwei County at a young age, so don't let it out quickly, otherwise I will not leave a piece of armor under the strong attack of [-]!"

Standing at the top of the city, Zhao Yun and Tian Feng looked at Pang De, who was shouting at the bottom of the city, without any fear. Instead, they discussed something slowly, as if they didn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of troops.

"Military Master, my lord has sent an order saying that General Zhang Liao and former Dong Zhuo's old general Xu Rong will lead an army of [-] to join forces to destroy the two princes of the Xiliang separatist regime. Do we need to hold them back first and annihilate the enemy for the army? The army buys time." Zhao Yun asked thoughtfully.

"According to the news from the lord, it tells us that the heart is the top priority, and the military battle is the bottom. It seems that he intends to recover Ma Teng for his own use. Right now, General Zhang Liao's troops have not yet arrived, so our army should not act rashly."

"This time the enemy has raised 15 troops, but according to inside information, the two men can use no less than [-] troops. Let's wait for a while. I think it's better to reveal your identity and tell the enemy that Dong Zhuo is dead. People must send people to infiltrate the pass to find out the news, and after they understand the reality of our army, General Zhang Liao may have already led them to come, and then we will use both kindness and force, and the enemy may surrender without a fight." Tian Feng said confidently.

Zhao Yun nodded, and felt that what Tian Feng said was very reasonable, and then walked quickly to the top of the tower, shouting with all his strength: "I am Zhao Yun, the commander of the Shenwu Army under the command of the great general Li Shimin, who was appointed by the Son of Heaven. I want to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and now Dong Zhuo has been executed, so why don't you surrender quickly, when will you wait!"

The sound of Zhao Yun's Hongzhong was so penetrating that even Ma Teng and Han Sui in the distance, and even the soldiers who were closer could hear it clearly.

In an instant, there was an uproar among the enemy troops. Ma Teng and Han Sui also looked at each other in shock, and they both saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.

It's just that the news was too sudden, and it was hard for the two of them to tell the truth from the fake. If the news from this person was true, would it be necessary for me to go to Chang'an?Kill the past for revenge?

But what the other party said was under the order of the emperor, that is, he is the upright King Qin, and we led the army to fight there.

Ma Teng and Han Sui exchanged opinions quickly, and both decided to withdraw the troops first, and make arrangements after clarifying the situation in Chang'an.

Immediately, he led his army back to Tianshui County in a hurry.

Indeed, as Ma Teng said, before the enemy's situation is unknown, it is not appropriate to act rashly. They knew Dong Zhuo's strength. At the beginning, the two teamed up to fight Dong Zhuo and the imperial army a few times. Outstanding, not to be underestimated, and now they have gone through many battles, their strength has been greatly damaged, they are not as good as before, and they have no courage to challenge.

The most important thing at this time is to find out what happened in Chang'an, and then arrange for his men to sneak across Longshan and sneak into Guanzhong to find out the news. Before there is any news, the army sticks to Tianshui and stays put for the time being.

In fact, the original plan of these two people was to take advantage of the fire and take advantage of the opportunity. Now that they found that there seemed to be no opportunity to take advantage of it, they were more cautious.

…………

Zhang Liao and Xu Rong led an army of [-] to Xiliang in a mighty way, recovering counties and counties along the way, and wherever the army went, the enemy fell in anticipation.

Originally, all the defenders in these places were withdrawn by Li Jue, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled. The troops were extremely empty, so most of them surrendered under Xu Rong's persuasion.

However, when the army marched to Mei County and Chencang, it still encountered stubborn resistance from the old Xiliang tribe. Mei County had stored Dong Zhuo's search for millions of stones of grain, as well as gold and silver treasures worth millions. It is extremely strong, so the old part of Xiliang in the city is not willing to give up such a large treasure house.

A strong attack will inevitably cause a lot of losses, and it will also delay the marching speed, so after discussing with Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao, Xu Rong and Xi Zhicai decided to find a way to outsmart them.

"General Zhang Liao, maybe there will be a way to take down Mei County without any effort at the end." Xu Rongli said excitedly with his eagerness to fight.

"Oh, General Xu has a good strategy, let's talk about it quickly, if you take Mei County quickly, the general will make the first contribution." Zhang Liao said a little excitedly.

Xu Rong was indeed eager to do meritorious service. He had just joined Li Shimin's command, and he hadn't made any achievements yet. He couldn't gain a firm foothold. Even though Li Shimin appreciated him, it would be difficult for him to do anything without military merits in the army, so he decided to give it a try.

"General Zhang, a military adviser, originally had a confidant under my command, Xu Xiao, who is currently in the city. Because he has some in-law relationship with me, he is loyal to me, but I don't want him to be promoted by virtue of his relationship with me, so I haven't explained our relationship to others, maybe I can try to contact him and ask him to open the city gate secretly, and we will cooperate inside and outside to take down Mei County." Xu Rong explained his plan.

Both Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai felt that it was very feasible, so they allowed him to act cheaply and contact this person as soon as possible.
