The Most Powerful Man in the World

Ding Yuan nodded, Yuan Shao was right on this point, that is, he could also see the problems of the Xiliang Army. It can be said that the Xiliang Army is a group of warlords with Dong Zhuo as the core. Amazing, but when Dong Zhuo died, the interior of the Xiliang army immediately fell apart, and it was difficult to restore the elite division of Xiliang.

But Ding Yuan said: "If the old man raises troops to help, he may not be able to buy time for the Xiliang Army to regroup..."

Yuan Shao pointed at the wide open capital city gate, and saw a torrent rolling in. It was the capital army under the command of Chu Yi who descended the city wall and rushed out of the city. Can not help but be shocked.

"How brave!"

Seeing that Chu Yi had seized the opportunity so well, and even dared to lead the army out of the high city to fight, this made Ding Yuan look at Chu Yi a little.

Zhang Liao's commander-in-chief Sanhe Jingjian took the lead, which is amazing.

With a slight sigh, Yuan Shao said, "The Xiliang army will definitely be defeated. Once a defeat is formed, the elite cavalry of Bingzhou will definitely be washed away by the defeated army of Xiliang. At that time, I am afraid that it will be defeated without defeat, and it will be impossible to escape Chu Yi's troops. chase."

Ding Yuan frowned. According to Yuan Shao's judgment, such a situation is not possible, but [-]% likely. Even Ding Yuan himself had to admit that the performance of the Xiliang Army was too bad, and Chu Yi's performance was too bad. too amazing.

"Let's retreat, leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, withdraw the troops for dozens of miles first, restore the morale of the army, and then say other things!"

Ding Yuan's face was full of unwillingness, he subconsciously clenched his fists, let out a breath, and gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!"

Following Ding Yuan's order, nearly [-] Bingzhou Jingqi began to turn around and evacuated from the battlefield at the fastest speed, causing the sky to be filled with smoke and dust.

When Ding Yuan led the army to leave, Chu Yi, who had just crashed into the chaotic Xiliang army, couldn't help showing a bit of a smile on his face.

If it is said that Ding Yuan did not withdraw, but instead reorganized his troops and horses to help the Xiliang army, to be honest, although this battle could be won, I am afraid it would be a tragic victory.

After all, even Chu Yi has to say that Bingzhou's elite cavalry and Xiliang's army can be called the strongest army in the world. It is not false.

If it wasn't for beheading Dong Zhuo and directly taking the heart of the Xiliang Army, otherwise, Chu Yi would never choose to go out of the city to fight with him.

"Haha, retreat, old thief Ding Yuan has retreated!"

Seeing this scene, He Miao couldn't help but burst into laughter, showing how excited He Miao was at the moment.

In the Xiliang army, Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew, Fan Chou and several generals looked at Li Ru and said: "Wenyou, your lord died tragically at the hands of Lu Bu's child, which caused my Xiliang army to be leaderless. At this time of life and death, please Wen You can wait for me. Show me a way out."

Li Ru, who had white temples, lost a lot of his life in order to keep Lv Bu, and he almost lost half his life. When he was defeated, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Ding Yuan leading Bingzhou's elite cavalry to escape far away.

He slowly closed his eyes, and when Li Ru opened his eyes again, the wise and foresighted Li Wenyou appeared in front of Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and several generals and said, "Go, immediately lead Er and his men to follow Ding. You can go as far as you can."

"what!"

Several people obviously did not expect that Li Ru would say such a thing. Instead of coming up with an amazing strategy as usual to turn things around and turn defeat into victory, they wanted them to escape.If these words hadn't come from Li Ru's mouth, they would have wondered if it was someone else's bad idea.

Li Ru snorted coldly: "What are you doing, the adults are dead, who can stand up and rectify the army, whether it is you Zhang Ji or Fan Chou or his Guo Si, Niu Fu with such prestige can make the whole country The military is convinced."

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, they are naturally dissatisfied with each other, and there is no problem in asking them to obey Dong Zhuo's orders, but let them obey other people's orders, why?

"Understood, what is the group of dragons thinking about turning defeat into victory, if they can save their lives, let's talk about other things."

Uncle Zhang Ji and Fan Chou looked at each other and said to Li Ru, "I also ask Wen You to leave with me and give me directions."

Obviously Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and the others are not stupid, they are just a martial artist. If they want to play with their scheming, they are not as good as Li Ru, especially since they know Li Ru's ability better than anyone else. There is no bottom.

Soon, with Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, they joined forces and surrounded Li Ruyuan and fled away. Guo Si, Niu Fu, Xu Rong and other ministries, who were struggling to resist the imperial army, were all in an uproar when they saw this. Many soldiers did not. What kind of fighting spirit, when they saw their family members running away, many soldiers immediately turned around and ran.

Even the generals such as Guo Si, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong couldn't help sighing after seeing this.

As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, Dong Zhuo's army is full of [-] elites. If these people are working together, it is Chu Yi who is sitting on Huang Zhong, Lu Bu and other strong generals, and wants to swallow this tens of thousands of elite troops. It would have to break a mouthful of teeth, but with Dong Zhuo's death, it was such a scene.

The Thousandth Chapter 16

It is conceivable that as the leaders of the Xiliang Army chose to run away one by one, the morale of the remaining soldiers had plummeted due to the impact of Dong Zhuo's death. Running away, all the soldiers who were still insisting on resisting suddenly gave up their resistance.

Even their own generals gave up their resistance. What are they fighting for? Is it bad to live?

A large number of soldiers began to drop their weapons on their knees and surrendered. Without Chu Yi's instructions, Yan Xing, Xu Huang and other generals led the army to attack the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who were still forming a battle, while instructing some of their men to start. Gather the soldiers who surrendered.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that at this time, the situation has been settled, and even if Dong Zhuo is resurrected, it cannot change the collapse of the Xiliang Army.

From noon to the evening, in addition to the tens of thousands of people who escaped, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Xiliang army were killed at the beginning, and at least [-] soldiers were captured.

Seeing the group of captured soldiers being escorted into the barracks, He Miao said to Chu Yi with a sigh of relief: "If it wasn't for the Marquis of Pingze Township this time, I'm afraid the capital would have been breached by now. "

He Miao still had a bit of self-knowledge, he knew very well that Dong Zhuo's team alone would have overwhelmed him, not to mention Ding Yuan's team.

That is to say, he immediately asked Chu Yi for help, otherwise, I am afraid that it is really like what he said, and the capital will be broken.

Of course, He Miao knew in his heart that even if he didn't ask Chu Yi for help, Chu Yi would not be able to sit back and watch the capital be breached, but if He Miao also knew, if he really didn't ask Chu Yi for help, then what would happen to him? There is only one, and that is to be killed by the dark chess that Chu Yi, such as Lu Bu, had previously buried.

And after his death, Chu Yi could justifiably stand up to take over the capital's army, but at that time, except for him being killed in vain, the result is still the same today.

With a fierce general like Lü Bu, who was placed beside Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's life and death can be said to be in the hands of Chu Yi. From the perspective of the composition of the Xiliang army, once Dong Zhuo died and the army rushed into the formation, Xi Liang's army would be destroyed. It is difficult for the Liang Army not to collapse.

Chu Yi glanced at He Miao and said, "General Chaqi has done a lot of hard work this time, and he was able to defeat the Xiliang army. It can be said that the General Chaqi has contributed greatly. Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely be rewarded heavily..."

After hearing what Chu Yi said, He Miao suddenly showed a bit of shame on his face. He still had some self-knowledge, and he was very clear that it was because of Chu Yi that he could win this battle. Facing Chu Yi sternly, he said, "The Marquis of Pingze Township is joking. This time it's all due to the work of the Marquis, so what is the credit for He Mou!"

While He Miao and Chu Yi were discussing how to apply credit to the court, Guo Si, Niu Fu and other generals of the Xiliang army, who were like bereaved dogs, led their personal guards and finally got rid of the pursuit of the court army.

On a flat land dozens of miles away from the capital, the Bingzhou army escaped for dozens of miles and finally stopped nearby.

Following the Bingzhou Jingqi, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, who retreated first under the guidance of Li Ru, led the troops.

There were tens of thousands of troops in Xiliang, and the ones who really retreated in good condition were Zhang Ji and Fan Chou.

As for the generals such as Guo Si, Niu Fu, and Xu Rong, who were a step behind, they could not take away their own men at all, but could only take hundreds of their own soldiers.

After tossing for a long time, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Xu Rong and others joined Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, and all the generals of Xiliang were bigger than each other, and all of them escaped.

But at this moment, the generals had a heavy look on their faces. Everyone was sitting in the simple tent, and the atmosphere seemed very depressed.

Compared to not long ago, everyone was so high-spirited that they threatened to break the capital, but now they are like lost dogs.

After a while, Niu Fu, who was quite upright, spoke first: "Everyone, Master Dong was harmed by the villain Lu Bu, and I should take revenge for the master."

Speaking of which, Niu Fu looked up at Li Ru who was sitting there and said, "Wenyou, what do you think?"

Li Ru raised his head and looked at Niu Fu. Those wise eyes seemed to be able to see through Niu Fu's mind, which only made Niu Fu bow his head in a guilty conscience.

But before Li Ru could speak, Fan Chou said to Niu Fu, "I don't know what General Niu Fu means. Could it be that you want to command everyone?"

No one is a fool, although Niu Fu didn't say it clearly, but its meaning is unspoken.

It was just that Fan Chou first expressed Niu Fu's thoughts. Seeing the crowd staring at him, Niu Fu raised his chest and said, "Who said I would command everyone? The Xiliang Army was developed by my father-in-law. The father-in-law is dead, so the Xiliang army must choose a commander, and this commander can only be the descendant of the father-in-law."

Speaking of which, Niu Fu looked up at the crowd, and said with a clear conscience: "Why do you say that what Niu said is wrong?"

I never thought that Niu Fu would say such a thing. Suddenly everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone kept silent.

If Dong Zhuo's descendants really have amazing talents, it would be fine for everyone to support him as the leader of the Xiliang Army. The key point is that Dong Zhuo's descendants have nothing to make, let alone He has enough prestige and coercion to command the remnants of the Xiliang army.

Li Ru sighed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Just say which son you want to support."

Niu Fu glanced at Li Ru and said: "The third son has a mellow temperament and is quite forceful, and he is the best heir to his father-in-law..."

When everyone heard it, the eyes they looked at Niu Fu became strange. How did everyone not know that the third son in Niu Fu's mouth was just a half-old boy who was just ten years old. It would be hard for everyone to support such a half-old boy. It is better to say that Niu Fu wanted to take over the remnants of the Xiliang Army under the banner of the third son.

With a cold snort, as one of the people with the most troops and horses, Fan Chou just gave Niu Fu a blank look and said, "I don't agree!"

Niu Fu couldn't help but hurriedly said: "You... father-in-law is not far from the spirit of heaven, you actually want to betray the Xiliang army?"

Fan Chou couldn't help sneering when he heard the words: "It would be fine if you were all for the public, but what is your intention, don't everyone know, don't think that you are the only one who is smart, everyone is a fool !"

At this moment, Zhang Ji also expressed his position: "Zhang also does not agree!"

This is a good time. Zhang Ji and Fan Chou together have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which can be said to account for [-]% of the soldiers of the Xiliang army who escaped. If the two do not agree, the so-called master of the Xiliang army is naturally a joke.

Speaking of that, Zhang Ji looked at Li Ru, who was sitting there with a sullen face, and bowed his hands slightly and said, "Wen Xianxian, you have always been resourceful and resourceful. Now, where is the big guy going, please sir can show me a clear path. "

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words. Compared with the ambitious Niu Fu, everyone was more willing to believe in Li Ru, a resourceful existence.

After all, Li Ru was not in charge of the troops in the army. He had always acted as Dong Zhuo's counselor to advise him. Everyone knew about Li Ru's ability, so at this moment he would rather trust Li Ru than Niu Fu.

The sons-in-law of Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and Niu Fu were both civil and military.At this time, the generals showed two completely different attitudes.

Seeing this, Niu Fu couldn't help but pointed at everyone in a hurry and said, "You..."

However, none of the crowd paid attention to Niu Fu, but looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru's eyes swept across the crowd, and he pondered: "I have two strategies for everyone."

At this moment, everyone can be said to be helpless, and even more confused about the way forward, but Li Ru didn't expect Li Ru to give you two suggestions.

The generals looked at Li Rudao in shock: "Sir, please speak!"

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "The first is that everyone packs up their things, immediately mobilizes troops and horses, and returns to Xiliang non-stop, and then writes to the court, begging the court to accept it. From a certain point of view, Chu Yi will not kill everyone. For a way of life."

Everyone looked at each other, although they said they were a little reluctant, but they had to admit that Li Ru's strategy was indeed a life-saving strategy, but it was a psychological change for them to choose to submit to Chu Yi, who was chasing them not long ago. Don't come to bend.

Seeing the reactions of everyone's expressions, Li Ru said again: "The second is that the generals defected to Yuan Benchu, and they are the main ones!"

"what!"

If they can accept the first strategy, then the second strategy mentioned by Li Ru is beyond their imagination.

Even in a dream, no one thought that Li Ru would suggest that they go to Yuan Shao.

Everyone is naturally aware of Yuan Shao, the Yuan clan, who was born in the fourth and third princes, is one of the most handsome young men in the world today, and he can be regarded as a man of the hour.

But to ask them to go to Yuan Shao, the psychological discomfort is even greater.

Li Ru slowly said: "From my perspective, the foundation of the Han Dynasty has been severely damaged since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the first emperor has greatly promoted the pastoral system of the state. It can be said that the seeds of the chaos in the world were planted. Now the imperial court is weak enough to suppress the world, and the heroes are scattered. All parties, the chaos in the world is imminent, Yuan Ben was originally a hidden dragon, and he may not be able to follow the trend in the future, and the dragon will fly nine days..."

After listening to Li Ru's words, everyone was silent for a while, and they had to admit that what Li Ru said made sense.

Slowly getting up, Li Ru walked out of the tent and said, "This is what I have said, what to do, you can choose."

Li Ru's figure disappeared in the army, and the camp was silent. Obviously, all the generals were thinking about their future.

Not far away, there was a commotion of people and horses. It was at Yuan Shao's suggestion that the Jingqi of Bingzhou retreated first.

The scene of the collapse of the Xiliang army was naturally discovered by Ding Yuan and Yuan Shao. The two saw the tragic scene of the Xiliang army's defeat, and their hearts were naturally moved.

After all, they were also responsible for the defeat of the Xiliang Army. If they could do their best to help the Xiliang Army at that time, even if they were defeated, they would not have suffered such a catastrophic defeat.

However, Ding Yuan looked at Yuan Shao with admiration at the moment and said, "If it wasn't for this time, maybe I and the state's elite cavalry would also suffer heavy losses. I don't know if I would like to be in our army..."

Yuan Shao heard Ding Yuan's solicitation, and his heart moved for a while, but he quickly dismissed the thought in his heart, shook his head slightly towards Ding Yuan, and said to Ding Yuan with a serious face: "I also ask the lord Haihan, the lord is kind to Shao. Just take it with your heart.”

Looking at Yuan Shao in astonishment, he could only hear Yuan Shao's solemn and incomparably solemn words: "Nowadays, the eunuch has been in charge of the good-hearted eunuch. "

Ding Yuan heard the words with a look of amazement on his face, and said in admiration: "I had a good ambition at the beginning, and I counted as one of a certain family."

Yuan Shao's face showed a bit of joy and said: "If there is an adult to help, Shao will have the confidence to call on people with lofty ideals in the world to raise troops to fight against the Chu thieves."

Ding Yuan stroked his beard and laughed and said, "How can Ding be missing from such a grand event."

After speaking, Ding Yuan looked at Yuan Shao expectantly and said, "I don't know what to do in the beginning?"
