Chapter 270

Liu Ye retreats for 30 Li and sends out a sentry to find out that Dong Jun has not sent any soldiers to pursue him, so he settles down in the stronghold.

Liu Ye ordered his troops to treat the wounded soldiers. After taking more rest, the first thing he did was to order Xun you to find out how much the two sides had lost in the war.

In the first World War outside Chang'an, Liu Ye's army suffered a total of 7000 casualties, including 2000 cavalry soldiers and 5000 infantry casualties. Although many soldiers were seriously injured, they could still fight in the battle after being raised, but I'm afraid it can not be completed in three or five days.

Although the casualties of Liu Ye's army were not few, they caused heavy damage to Li's army. The 30000 troops under Li's command were more than twice as much as those of Liu Ye's army, almost half of the casualties. It can be said that this war destroyed the spirit of Li's army. The morale of the wounded Li's army was demoralized, and he was trapped in Chang'an City and did not dare to attack.

However, Liu Ye also did not send troops to the enemy. After all, Liu Ye's troops were insufficient, and there were only 15000 people left. It was almost impossible for him to defeat Chang'an city with these men.

As a result, the two armies once again fell into a stalemate.

Li Zhen wrote a letter to the first World War a few days ago, and then ordered his sentries to send them to Luoyang.

Luoyang, Prime Minister's residence.

When Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru, he knew that something might have happened again. Otherwise, the busy son-in-law would rarely come to find himself. However, Li Ru's coming to find himself basically meant that he had encountered some troubles. Therefore, when he saw Li Ru, Dong Zhuo had a headache.

"Wenyou, sit down." Dong Zhuo said.

"Prime Minister Xie." Li Ru was not polite. After sitting down, he directly took out a letter from his sleeve, "prime minister, letter from General Li of Chang'an."

Dong Zhuo brow a frown: "difficult not achievement, even childish ran also fought defeat?" Li Zhen is the first general under his command. Is it hard to achieve that even Li Ying is defeated by Liu Ye? Has Tongguan been lost? Liu Ye's iron horse has been killed to Hangu pass?

Li Ru looked strange and shook his head: "it's not a defeat. It should be a win or a lose. Liu Ye and Li Lin fought in the outskirts of Chang'an. Liangzhou soldiers were brave and brave, and Liu Ye led him. Zhang Ji's nephew was killed by Liu Ye and nearly lost his life."

"Now Liu Ye's injury is not small, so he stationed in the outskirts of Chang'an, but he dare not attack Chang'an city. However, his loss is not small, and he does not dare to go out of the city to attack Liu Ye, and the two armies fight against each other." Li Ru said slowly.

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo understood that, in short, Liu Ye and Li Lin's armies were in a stalemate. Li Lin was not sure to defeat the Liangzhou army, and Liu Ye's forces were not enough to win over Chang'an city.

In fact, it is very simple to break this impasse. It is nothing more than to continue to increase troops in Chang'an, so that Li Yu has an advantage over Liu Ye, and then completely defeat Liangzhou soldiers.

However, to put it simply, if Dong Zhuo's troops are in short supply, it is absolutely impossible for him to send tens of thousands of his own troops. Otherwise, he can not suppress the northern army and the Bingzhou army, and if the northern army is sent out, he will not be at ease.

"Otherwise..." Dong Zhuo bit his teeth, "let Fengxian lead Bingzhou army to help Zhiran?"

Lv Bu led the 20000 Bingzhou army and stationed in the tiger prison. All day long, he only ate food and did not do anything. Anyway, he was idle. He simply sent Lv Bu to Chang'an to attack Liu Ye.

Li Ru shook his head: "no, don't you know? Kuang Nai, the prefect of Hanoi, was the old headquarters of Hanoi. He ransacked the money of Hanoi and established a strong crossbow man. Qiao Mao, the governor of Dongjun, called on all the heroes in the world to attack the prime minister in the name of Sangong. Besides these two people, how many people covet Luoyang? If the Marquis Wen left first, he was afraid that there would be a teacher for the king. "

Dong Zhuo sighed in a deep voice: "what do you want to do? I'll set a fire in Luoyang and plunder gold and silver back to Hedong!"

Of course, Dong Zhuo's words are just joking words. It is not easy for Dong Zhuo to move from a state to Luoyang. If it is not the last moment, he will never give up his power easily.

Li Ru, on the other hand, smiles at Dong Zhuo. It seems that his eldest son-in-law has a clever plan to solve the current predicament.

"Wen you, don't cover up. If you have any strategies, just say it out. It's unpleasant to have a good life." Dong Zhuo grabs Li Ru's wrist in a hurry.

"The prime minister should be aware of the battle of Yan Jiang Leyi in destroying Qi?" Li Ru said with a smile.

Dong Zhuo nodded. If the four famous generals of the Warring States period will become five famous generals, the first one to bear the brunt is Leyi. You should know that Yan state is a small country with the bottom of national strength among the seven great powers of the Warring States, and Leyi led the five countries' Army to attack more than 70 cities of the state of Qi in a row, nearly destroying the eastern Qi state.

"King Yanzhao built a golden platform and recruited the world's wise men with the posture of buying horses and bones. Leyi was highly valued by King yanzhao, so he did his best to fight in line. However, it is a pity that King Yanzhao died of illness. The crown prince, King Yanhui, ascended the throne and fell victim to the estrangement of Tiandan, the general of Qi Dynasty. King Yanhui replaced Leyi with riding robbery and was defeated. "

I'm afraid that Liu Hongnong can't answer Wang's order, but I'm afraid that Liu Hongnong can't answer the question? What's more, how could king Hongnong order Liu Ye to return to his school? "

Li Ru laughs: "the prime minister understands the meaning of the wrong son-in-law.""When King Zhao of Yan died and King Hui ascended the throne, King Hui did not need Leyi and the state of Yan was defeated. But for internal changes, King Zhao would never withdraw Leyi."

"Liu Ye pacifies Liangzhou, but the Qiang people still exist. If the Qiang people are ordered to make a riot with a lot of profits, will Liu Ye dare to attack Chang'an when the internal military disasters in Liangzhou are linked?" Li Ru sneered.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard the speech: "it's a clever plan. If the Qiang people make a rebellion and attack the States and counties, Liu Ye's army must be unstable. Li can observe the situation and go out of the city at an appropriate time to give a fatal blow to the Liangzhou army."

"Wen you, you will arrange an emissary to take a lot of money and gifts to Liangzhou to make the Qiang soldiers serve me. By the way, I will send a letter back to Zhiran, telling him about it. Let him observe the opportunity by himself. If he has the opportunity, he will lead his troops to attack Liu Yijun. " Dong Zhuo ordered.

Li Ru nodded: "the son-in-law understands, this goes down to prepare."

Dong Zhuo waved to hurry up. Li Ru didn't stop much and went straight out of the mansion.

From the treasures left by Lingdi in the Treasury, Li Ru selected valuable gifts such as ten pairs of jade, gold and jewelry, and then found Li Su, the general of Huwei Zhonglang.

"Li Zhonglang, it's up to you to persuade the Qiang people. It's a matter of our army's safety. If this is done, I will ask the Prime Minister for the position of general." Li Ru was serious about Taoism.

Li Su was overjoyed: "Dr. Li, please rest assured that Su will do it."
