Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Liu Ye retreated for thirty miles and sent a detective to find out that Dong Jun had not sent him to chase soldiers, and then he settled in Xiazhai.

Liu Ye ordered all armies under his command to treat the wounded soldiers, and after more rest, the first thing was to order Xun You to find out how much the two sides lost in the battle.

In the first battle outside Chang'an, Liu Ye’s army suffered a total of 7,000 casualties, including 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry casualties. Although many soldiers were seriously injured, they could still fight after being raised, but I’m afraid it’s not three to five. Can be done during the day.

Although Liu Ye’s army had many casualties, it caused heavy damage to Li Chang’s army. Li Chang’s 30,000 army suffered more than twice as much damage as Liu Ye’s army, and almost half the casualties. It can be said that this battle defeated Li Chang’s spirit and suffered heavy losses. The morale of Li Chang's army was frustrated, and he was trapped in the city of Chang'an and dared not attack.

But Liu Ye didn't send troops to the enemy either. After all, Liu Ye's troops were insufficient, and only 15,000 people remained. It was almost impossible to use these troops to take down Chang'an City.

Therefore, the battle between the two armies once again reached a deadlock.

And Li Zhang hurriedly sent a letter to Luoyang from the first battle a few days ago, and then ordered his subordinates to send the sentry to Luoyang.

Luoyang, the prime minister's house.

The moment Dong Zhuo saw Li Ru, he knew something might have happened. Otherwise, this busy son-in-law would rarely come to him, and Li Ru came to see him, which basically meant that he had encountered some troublesome things. So when he saw Li Ru, Dong Zhuo got a headache.

"Wenyou, sit down." Dong Zhuo said.

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

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Is it possible that even Zhiran also defeated the battle?" Li Yu is the number one general under his command. Is it possible that even Li Yu was defeated by Liu Ye? Is it difficult to grow safe, Tongguan has been lost? Liu Ye's iron cavalry has been killed to Hangu Pass?

Li Ru looked weird and shook his head: "It's not a defeat, it should be regardless of victory or defeat. Liu Ye and Li Yu were fighting each other in the suburbs outside Chang'an. Liangzhou soldiers were brave and brave, and Liu Ye led them. Stopped, Zhang Ji's nephew was defeated by Liu Ye's triad, and almost lost his life."

"Now Liu Ye has suffered a lot of damage, so he is stationed in the suburbs of Chang'an, but he dare not attack the city of Chang'an, and the loss is not small, and he does not dare to go out of the city to invite Liu Ye, and the two armies face each other instead of fighting." Li Ru said slowly.

Hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo understood. In short, Liu Ye and Li Yu's armies were in a deadlock. Li Yu was not sure to defeat the Liangzhou Army, and Liu Ye's troops were not enough to take down Chang'an City.

But wanting to break this deadlock is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to continue to increase troops in the direction of Chang'an, so that Li Yu has an advantage over Liu Ye, and then completely defeated the Liangzhou soldiers.

But it's simple to say. If Dong Zhuo is now stretched out, his direct line of tens of thousands of soldiers is absolutely impossible to send out, otherwise he will not be able to suppress the Northern Army and the Bingzhou Army, and if the Northern Army is sent out, he will not worry.

"Or..." Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth, "How about letting Fengxian take the lead with the state army to help Zhiran?"

Lv Bu led the 20,000 Bianzhou Army and was stationed in Hulao. He ate no food all day long. Anyway, he was idle, so he could just send Lv Bu to Chang'an to attack Liu Ye.

Li Ru shook his head: "No, doesn't the prime minister know? Hanoi's prefect Wang Kuangnai is the former ministry of Hanoi. He searched for Hanoi's money and established a strong crossbowman. In the name of Sangong, the prefect of Dongjun Qiaobao appealed to the world's heroes to crusade the prime minister, except for these two. I don’t know how many people look at Luoyang. If Wenhou walks away, I’m afraid there will be a master of King Qin on the back."

Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Then what do you say, let me set a fire in Luoyang and take the gold and silver treasures back to Hedong!"

Of course, Dong Zhuo's remarks were just jokes. He finally moved from a prefecture to Luoyang. Unless it was the last juncture, he would never give up his power easily.

Li Ru smiled slightly, seeing Dong Zhuo overjoyed, it seems that his son-in-law has a clever plan to solve the current predicament.

"Wen You shouldn't cover up, if you have any tactics, just say it, good life makes people unhappy." Dong Zhuo hurriedly grabbed Li Ru's wrist.

"The battle of Yan Jiang Le Yi's defeat of Qi, should you know about it?" Li Ru smiled.

Dong Zhuo nodded. If the four famous generals in the Warring States period will become the five famous generals, Le Yi is the one who bears the brunt. You must know that Yan State is the smallest country in the world among the seven heroes of the Warring States period, and Le Yi led the five-nation armies to conquer Qi. There were more than 70 cities in the country, which almost wiped out the Qi country in the east of Megatron.

"The King Yanzhao built a golden platform and recruited the magi from all over the world with his wealth of money to buy horse bones. Le Yi was highly used by the King Yanzhao, so he did his best to fight. However, it is a pity that King Yanzhao died of illness, and the prince Yanhui ascended the throne. After Tian Dan's divorce, King Yanhui replaced Le Yi with a robbery, and the result was a big defeat."

Dong Zhuo nodded, but he was a little puzzled by Li Ru's words: "Although Liu Ye brought King Hongnong back to Liangzhou, I am afraid that King Hongnong can't order Liu Ye? What's more, how can King Hongnong order Liu Ye to return to his teacher? ?"

Li Ru laughed: "The prime minister understood what the wrong son-in-law meant."

"King Yan Zhao died and King Hui came to the throne. King Hui didn't need Le Yi and the country lost. If it were not for internal changes, King Zhao would not withdraw Le Yi anyway."

"Liu Ye pacified Liangzhou, but the Qiang people still exist. If the Qiang people are ordered to cause chaos with the huge profits and the internal military disasters in Liangzhou, will Liu Ye still dare to attack Chang'an?" Li Ru sneered.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "A clever plan, if the Qiang people make chaos and attack the prefectures and counties, presumably Liu Ye's army must be unstable. You can let Li Yu observe the situation and go out of the city at an appropriate time to give the Liangzhou army a fatal blow."

"Wen You, you will arrange an envoy to go to Liangzhou with a lot of money and gifts, so that the Qiang soldiers can be used by me. By the way, I will reply to Zhiran with a letter telling him about the matter and let him observe the timing. If it is a chance, Take the lead and beat Liu Yejun." Dong Zhuo ordered.

Li Ru nodded: "My son-in-law understands, now go and prepare."

Dong Zhuo waved his hand to hurry up, Li Ru didn't stop much, and walked straight out of the house.

From the treasures left by the emperor in the national treasury, Li Ru chose ten pairs of jade and gold jewelry and other valuable gifts, and then he found Li Su, the hero of the tiger.

"Li Zhonglang, I'll leave it to you to persuade the Qiang people. It's a matter of safety for our army. If this is done, someone will ask the prime minister for the position of general." Li Ru solemnly said.

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