Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Because he needs to consider the timing of Chen Deng's side, and calculate whether he can reach Yecheng in a few months, whether to kill Yuan Shao in one go before winter arrives, or occupy the north bank city in Hebei first, as a stepping stone, and then survive the next year, and then in one fell swoop In these processes, what unexpected situations may arise.

This time, when Li Yi asked Kuai Yue and others for advice, their attitudes were ambiguous. Li Yi knew very well what this meant. These people also wanted to fight. In other words, as long as Yuan Shao is killed, the problems that may exist after that are minor problems.

In this regard, they are more decisive than Li Yi, or cruel.

Just when Li Yi's mind was wavering, a fast horse came from the north, and the travel-stained messenger delivered an urgent secret letter to Li Yi.

On August 25th, when the people in Hebei began to get busy with the autumn harvest, Yuan Shao, regardless of the timing, led [-] soldiers and horses, and headed north brazenly!

After Gongsun Zan was defeated last time, he hadn't been able to regain his vitality. This time, he was caught off guard again. Yuan Shao easily broke through the Yishui defense line, and then Gongsun Zan resisted in Yi County. He was defeated and retreated. Yuan Shao continued to capture Fan Yang and Fangcheng. Now Gongsun Zan is trapped In the isolated city of Zhuojun, if the soldiers and horses from Yuyang and other places had not rescued them desperately, Zhuojun might have been defeated by Yuan Shao.

After the news spread, Li Yi's subordinates and soldiers all called for the battle. This time, Li Yi didn't say much, but let out a long breath of foul air, leaving all the worries in his heart, and then dozens of messengers rushed out overnight, The world shook!

Chapter 756 West Route Army, Li Jue!

"Several generals, it is really fate to meet again after a few months!"

In Chang'an, Lu Su led a hundred escorts, and was very moved when he saw Li Jue, Guo Si, Han Sui and others who came to greet him.

He really didn't expect that he would have such a deep entanglement with this group of people, and he met again not long after we parted.

However, feeling the things in his arms, Lu Su's heart was full of fire. For him, this mission, although not as obvious as others, after the completion of the mission, it seems that most of the people who are responsible for it are responsible. But Lu Su himself knew that if things were done well, his position in Li Yi's heart would definitely be raised immediately, and he might become the existence second only to those "veterans".

"Mr. worked hard!"

Li Jue and the others looked at Lu Su's exhausted look after running around, and there was no carriage in the car, knowing that Lu Su's visit must be a serious matter, and they specially sent a message to invite Han Sui to Chang'an...

The three of them looked at each other, then Li Jue cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Please come into the mansion quickly, I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet for you!"

"Haha, thank you!"

Lu Su returned the courtesy with a smile, then walked forward with the three of them, looked at Han Sui, and asked, "When did General Han arrive in Chang'an?"

"Hearing the general's call, Ma did not dare to neglect. He has been in the city for three days."

Han Sui stroked his beard with his hand and smiled. Ever since he sent Ma Teng's family out of Xiliang, he felt refreshed and comfortable.

Han Sui looked at Lu Su, with searching and anticipation in his eyes. The two Li and Guo next to him were similar. They had also heard about Yuan Shao's attack on Gongsun Zan. At this time, Li Yi made a move. It is not difficult to deduce that, Eighty percent of them are going to attack Hebei.

This made them look forward to it, but also nervous. Although the matter was generally settled, how to arrange it in detail was of great concern to them.

"The general has worked hard. A gift will be delivered in a few days. Madam misses the general and specially prepared it for the general. It's just that Lu was in a hurry and didn't have time to bring it. Today he only brought a letter from home. I hope the general will not blame you."

As he said that, Lu Su took out a letter from the guard and handed it to Han Sui.

"Where is it, sir, it is really serious."

Although he hasn't read the contents of the letter yet, Han Sui already has a smile on his face.

There is envy in Li Jue and Guo Si's eyes, but there is nothing wrong with it. Whoever wants to give birth to a good daughter, although they also want to strengthen their relationship in this regard, they really can't do it.

Lu Su looked gentle and generous, like an honest man, but in fact he knew people's hearts well, understood the way of balance, and turned to Li and Guo and said: "The two generals' kindness, Lu is grateful, but this is a heavy responsibility, and we still need to pay attention." Discuss with several generals, how about putting off this banquet for a while?"

Li Jue and Guo Si had no intention of drinking at all, so he nodded immediately and said: "Everything is according to what the master said!"

As a member of the army, Li Jue and others were still very efficient in handling affairs. Not long after, they brought Lu Su to a quiet room in Li Jue's mansion, screened off the servants, and then invited Lu Su to take a seat.

When Lu Su came last time, although he was an envoy, his purpose was goodwill, and he didn't have a clear mission on the surface, so his attitude was naturally very modest, but this time it was different, he was under a military order, so he just declined a little and took his seat at the head.

In this regard, Han Sui was okay. All his sons and daughters were handed over to Li Yi. He was a relatively thorough surrender, but Li Jue and Guo Si felt a little uncomfortable, and wondered if Lu Su wanted to ride on them. On the head?

Lu Su straightened his clothes, took out Li Yi's warrant from his bosom, and said solemnly, "The three generals should have known about the Hebei matter. It's just that the Central Plains has a bumper harvest this year, and the grain warehouses in various places are full, which shows God's will. Therefore, the general believes that , the time for the Northern Expedition has come!"

Although Li Jue and the others felt a bit small in their hearts, they were still refreshed when they heard Lu Su's words, and they all sat up straight.

Lu Su's expression remained unchanged, he opened Li Yi's warrant, and said in a loud voice: "The general's order, Yuan Shao's brutality, has been raising troops for no reason for years, privately hiding the jade seal of the country, murdering Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and even secretly setting up a false emperor. If it is clear, the loyal and righteous people in the world should attack it together. Therefore, the general decided to lead millions of elite soldiers to go north to eliminate thieves for the country. In addition, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from escaping, the general asked three generals to send troops from Chang'an. Is the general willing to take the order?"

The three of them didn't dare to neglect, they got up immediately and said in unison: "I will take orders!"

"it is good!"

Lu Su responded and continued: "The general ordered Li Jue to be the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, and Han Sui to be the deputy commander-in-chief. Take Shangjun from Hedong, and then go north to suppress Taiyuan. Make sure that the high-ranking officials cannot leave Bingzhou half a step! "

Li Jue was overjoyed immediately. He thought that the candidate would be Han Sui. After all, he was closer. Now it seems that Li Yi is worthy of being a general, and he really knows the goods.

"Li Jue takes orders!"

Li Jue clasped his fists heavily, and all his small thoughts, which were not too many at first, were all dissipated. Now all he thinks about is how to fight this battle beautifully.

"Han Sui takes orders!"

Han Sui also clasped his fists together. Although he was not as happy as Li Jue, he felt more relaxed in his heart, as if the burden had been lifted.

For this coach, Han Sui said that it was a lie that he had no idea, but he knew that he couldn't restrain Li Jue and Guo Si, and Li Yi really wanted to help him up, which was probably a headache. Now that Li Yi directly appointed Li Jue, it was unnecessary He is torn.

Lu Su left the throne, solemnly handed over the military order and the general seal to Li Jue, and said solemnly: "Here are the general seal and the military order, please take them away, general. In addition, because the number of troops in the Northern Expedition is not small, in order to coordinate the operations of various ministries, a large number The general regards Su as the West Route Army to join the army, and he can participate in various affairs in the army, but he has no right to make decisions on the deployment of troops, please let the general know."

Li Jue carefully put down the general's seal, and said with a smile on his face: "What are you talking about, sir, we are all rough people, and we need to rely more on your resourcefulness when using troops this time."

Although Li Yi has a hot temper, he is also a clear-cut person. He understands that Lu Su said these things to save face, and it also represents Li Yi's kindness, so that he can feel at ease. How many pairs of small shoes to wear.

Lu Su smiled, pointed to his head, and said, "General, please take a seat!"

"This, how about this..."

Li Jue was about to resign immediately, he won the position of marshal, he didn't care about a seat anymore, but Lu Su said: "The general's military orders are strict, before Su was an envoy, it's all right to take the seat, but now the general is the commander-in-chief of an army, If Su continues to take the seat, he will offend the general and be questioned about the military law."

Seeing that Lu Su said this level, Li Jue stopped being pretentious, nodded heavily, walked slowly to the top, cupped his hands at Dongfang, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the trust of the general, this time the battle of Bingzhou, Li will definitely be all Take Bingzhou and never disappoint the great general!"

Not to be outdone, Han Sui also said, "Your sons under Han's command can go north as many as possible to fight for the general!"

Seeing the resolute attitude of the two, Lu Su knew that they were not fooling around, and he was very satisfied, but he did not forget Li Yi's explanation, and comforted him: "The two generals are worthy of veteran generals, and Lu Su admires them for their courage to fight. The general must be relieved to hear that, but before he left, the general said that in recent years, Sili's products are not as good as the Central Plains, and Bingzhou is also far from the Central Plains. Therefore, the general's focus on going north this time is to intimidate and use power to suppress people. Siege the city."

The generals present here are all top-notch figures in the world, and they immediately understood what Lu Su was referring to.

Glancing at Li Yi's military order, Li Jue confirmed: "Sir, you are saying that our focus is to restrain high-ranking officials and prevent Bingzhou soldiers and horses from rushing to help Jizhou?"

"Exactly."

After affirming it first, Lu Su said in detail: "The focus of this battle is Jizhou. At that time, the general Chen will have millions of soldiers. As long as he crosses the Yellow River, Yuan Shao will have no power to fight back. Gao Gan and Bingzhou soldiers and horses have a fighting spirit. There must be no one out of ten, as long as the general operates properly, it is not impossible to go down without fighting, so that the general's prestige can be displayed, and the people can be less affected by the flames of war. The best of both worlds, why not do it?"

Han Sui couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The general's benevolence and righteousness are far inferior to mine."

Li Jue also couldn't help nodding his head. If Li Yi was still the little Xiami he used to be, he could say that Li Yi is a woman's benevolence, but now he is not qualified for that, let alone, if he really stormed Bingzhou, he would be killed or injured. Most of them are soldiers and horses under his command.

But the only thing that worries Li Jue is that if he doesn't attack Bingzhou by force, how will the credit be calculated? Should there be a discount?

It's not good to ask directly about this, otherwise it will appear that Li Jue is too utilitarian.
