"General Wu, although Hangu Pass has been taken down, the national thief Dong Zhuo still has Tong Pass in his hands. It is not the time to eliminate the Dong thief yet. How about General Wu follow me to Luoyang first?" After Wu Sangui finished his performance, Li Xiang
He said this seemingly casually.
"Everything must be obeyed by the lord!" Wu Sangui was also very wise, so he directly addressed him as lord.
In fact, Wu Sangui was well prepared for this matter. Hangu Pass is one of the eight passes in Luoyang. It is the west gate of Luoyang. It is absolutely impossible for Li Xiang to allow this west gate to be guarded by a general.
.Therefore, Wu Sangui did not expect that he could continue to stay at Hangu Pass.
However, what Li Xiang said next made Wu Sangui change his mind.
"Uncle Chang, your subordinates have just arrived, and they must be at odds with our army in many places. How about handing your subordinates over to other generals under my command for training for a while?" Li Xiang said slightly to Wu Sangui.
said.
Li Xiang's words were very soft, but Wu Sangui heard the undoubted firm meaning in them, and even heard a trace of murderous intent in them.
From this moment of murderous intent, Wu Sangui knew that if he dared not obey today, he might not have a good life in the future.
However, despite this, Wu Sangui is still very entangled. The 20,000 troops are already his last trump card. Without the 20,000 troops, he will have no power to protect himself and will only be at the mercy of others in the future. Look at this situation
, if you are in the army but don’t teach, then...
"How's it going? How are you thinking about it?" At this moment, Li Xiang's faint voice sounded next to Wu Sangui's ears again, suddenly waking up Wu Sangui.
Looking at the big man behind Li Xiang who was holding a giant ax and looking at him eagerly, Wu Sangui's heart immediately jumped and he immediately understood what he should do.
"Everything must be obeyed by the lord!" After thinking about it, Wu Sangui immediately replied.
Wu Sangui had already figured out that if he handed over his military power, he would not pose a threat to Li Xiang, which would allow Li Xiang to use him with confidence.
What's more, after all, he is also a surrendered general, and he is also a surrendered general who has made great contributions to him. As long as he knows the current affairs, Li Xiang is determined not to do anything to him, and even high-ranking officials and generous salaries are indispensable.
Serve as an example. If Li Xiang really burns bridges, who will dare to join Li Xiang in the future?
And if he dares to refuse today, then even if Li Xiang doesn't kill him today, I'm afraid his life will not be better in the future, and he doesn't even know what day an accident will happen.
After hearing Wu Sangui's answer, Li Xiang finally nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Sangui has a lot of criminal records. If he has military power in his hands, Li Xiang will not worry.
After successfully taking over Hangu Pass, it means that all eight passes of Luoyang are in his own hands. At this time, Luoyang can truly be said to be able to advance, attack, and retreat and defend.
Li Xiang did not stay at Hangu Pass for long. After leaving 20,000 troops and Yue Fei to guard Hangu Pass, he returned to Luoyang again.
With the god-level commander Yue Fei here, and the strong pass of Hangu Pass, even if Dong Zhuo knew that Li Xiang had captured Hangu Pass from Wu Sangui, even if Dong Zhuo was unwilling to do so, he would send troops to
Attack is absolutely foolproof.
…
"This Li Zifeng is really hateful..." Dong Zhuo roared crazily after receiving the news in Xiwu.
"Prime Minister, the top priority is to send more troops to Tongguan first. Our Xiliang army has now lost Hangu Pass. No more accidents must happen in Tongguan." After Dong Zhuo had finished scolding him, Li Ru slowly calmed down.
He stepped forward to persuade.
Compared to the furious Dong Zhuo, Li Ru was very sober at this time. No matter how hard it was, Hangu Pass had been lost in the end, and no matter how angry he was, it couldn't change this fact. Instead of getting angry here, it would be better to think about how to do it as soon as possible
The remedy!
"Yes, yes, immediately order Xu Rong to lead 20,000 Xiliang soldiers and go to Tongguan immediately to assist Yang Lin in guarding Tongguan." Dong Zhuo ordered impatiently.
After Li Ru's reminder, Dong Zhuo immediately realized that after losing Hangu Pass, Tongguan became the top priority in Chang'an's portal.
Their Xiliang army has lost Hangu Pass, but nothing can happen to Tongguan anymore. The top priority is to reinforce Tongguan.
In the past, because Hangu Pass was blocking the front, the Xiliang Army's defenses were all biased towards Hangu Pass. As a result, Tongguan was far inferior to the previous Hangu Pass in terms of the number of troops, grain, grass and ordnance.
Not as good. Therefore, the most important thing is to strengthen Tongguan's defensive strength next.
"Wen You, do you think we can send troops to fight back Hangu Pass?" Dong Zhuo was still very unwilling to lose such a strong pass for no reason.
"This, Prime Minister, this matter is inappropriate." After thinking about it for a moment, Li Ru said firmly.
"What's wrong?" Dong Zhuo felt a little unhappy.
"Xiangguo, Hangu Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a famous dangerous pass in the world. Li Zifeng has strong soldiers and horses. In addition, Hangu Pass is also the gateway to Luoyang. How can Li Zifeng let go easily after he gets it? I'm afraid I
The army will just lose troops and horses for no reason." Li Ru said solemnly. "Secondly, does the Prime Minister remember the time when Zhang Yi came to visit the Prime Minister more than a year ago?"
"What does this have to do with what happened back then?" Dong Zhuo became extremely angry after hearing Li Ru mention the incident that happened more than a year ago.
More than a year ago, Li Zifeng sent people to tell him that he would not invade Chang'an again, but only a year later, he captured Hangu Pass. He was really not a son of man.
However, Dong Zhuo just cursed a few words in his heart, and he never thought of using this incident to ruin Li Zifeng's reputation. After all, Hangu Pass was dedicated to Li Zifeng by the traitor Wu Sangui, and Li Zifeng did not
Consider it an attack.
What's more, Dong Zhuo knew in his heart that publicizing this incident would not only fail to damage Li Zifeng's reputation, but would drag it out of Wu Sangui's grievances. In the end, it was Dong Zhuo himself who suffered the loss.
"Xiangguo, we were not aware of it for a moment in the game that day. Later, when we thought about it again, we were shocked to realize that Zhang Yi was playing a trick. If we took the initiative to attack Li Zifeng, I am afraid that the reason given to Li Zifeng would be logical.
The country has sent troops to attack the Prime Minister!" Dong Zhuo said with some helplessness, it would not be a good thing for anyone to find out that they were being plotted against.
When Li Ru said this, Dong Zhuo immediately realized that they had fallen into the trap in Zhang Yi's words. Although they were a little angry, they finally gave up their intention to send troops.
