Chapter 17 Title-kun has been arrested
Duan Wei's marching was not fast. Although Li Jue sent people to urge him several times, Duan Wei actually did not want to fight this battle. Therefore, since Yu Mi sent troops, he traveled less than thirty miles a day. Compared with the speed of the regular army, it can be said that he was speeding up.
"General, if you continue like this, it will take at least ten days to arrive in Ji County." Shortly after leaving that day, Duan Wei went down again. A deputy general couldn't help asking: "Since the general is unwilling to participate in the war, why not refuse directly?"
This marching requires food and grass. If Duan Wei is unwilling to fight this battle and does not respond to Li Jue or Guo Si, as long as he walks slowly, he will only waste food and grass.
"I still have to go." Duan Wei closed the book and shook his head. There was still a calculation between him and Yang Ding. Since Yang Ding also participated this time, he naturally wanted to come, otherwise he would not know what Yang Ding would arrange.
"General, there is a group of people outside the camp asking for a visit, saying that it was an old friend of the general and came to join him." A camp guard came in and bowed to Duan Wei.
"Old friend?" Duan Wei put down the book and stood up, thought for a while and said, "How many people are there?"
"There are two people in the leadership, one scribe, the other looks like a guard commander, and the rest are guards."
"Let those guards stay outside the camp and only those two people come in." Duan Wei was idle and wanted to meet these two people, perhaps a fellow villager. Jia Xu's departure made him feel a little worried. If he were a fellow villager, he would indeed be short of some people around him now.
"Brother Zhongming, long time no see!" Soon, Li Ru and Hua Xiong came in, and Li Ru smiled at Duan Wei.
A sip of water almost made me feel a little out of breath. Duan Weiteng stood up and looked at the two of them in surprise, Li Ru and Hua Xiong. Of course, he recognized that when he was not valued under Dong Zhuo, they were already Dong Zhuo's confidants.
"Crazy~"
Hearing the sound, the guards around rushed over and pointed their weapons at the two of them.
"I haven't seen each other for many years, Brother Zhongming's way of treating guests is not simple!" Hua Xiong's eyes widened and was about to attack, but was stopped by Li Ru and looked at Duan Wei with a smile.
"It's rude." Duan Wei waved his hand and said, "Everyone retreated, and you are not allowed to come in without my order."
"Here!" A group of guards bowed and said goodbye.
"Dong Xiang died and Chang'an City was in chaos, so Mr. disappeared. I sent someone to inquire in secret, but I never found Mr. I don't know where Mr. Mr. have been there over the years?" Duan Wei invited the two to sit down and smiled at Li Ru.
"Brother Zhongming really can't tell it?" Li Ru smiled and said. He was directly picked up by Ye Zhao with a flying boat. However, Hua Xiong was captured by Dian Wei alive under Hulao Pass back then, but many people know about it. Now that Hua Xiong is here, there is actually no need to explain many questions in detail.
"I can't believe it." Duan Wei glanced at Hua Xiong and looked at Li Rudao again: "So, Wen You is now in... that subordinate?"
"Wen Kai?" Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong nodded, walked straight out of the tent, and guarded outside the door.
Li Ru nodded and said, "This time, our lord will send troops to serve as a military advisor to offer wine!"
"The Taiwei has the ability to know people and also has the ability to use people. Brother Wenyou must meet the wise master this time." Duan Wei said with a smile.
"If Brother Zhongming is envious, it is a great opportunity now." Li Ru smiled at Duan Wei.
"Me?" Duan Wei shook his head. At first, he thought that Dong Zhuo could help him turn the Duan family back, but who thought that Dong Zhuo was a short-lived ghost. He was killed by Lu Bu every two years in Chang'an, and then there was a chaos in Guanzhong. If Ye Zhao had not made a plan, Li Jue and Guo Si would have no embarrassment of no one to be available, Guanzhong now would probably not be able to protect his energy.
Duan Wei admired Ye Zhao very much, and most importantly, although that plan back then allowed Guanzhong to maintain vitality, it made Ye Zhao stand opposite to the scholars in the world.
Don’t look at how Zhong Yao was able to talk and laugh with Ye Zhao when he first entered Shu. Ye Zhao was only limited to Shu. Once Ye Zhao left Shu, the Zhong family would probably be the first to jump out and oppose it. Ye Zhao’s plan not only directly made the scholars’ voice in the court greatly reduced, but even many princes in Guandong were more or less effectively imitating Ye Zhao’s signs, but they did not dare to do such unscrupulous as Li Jue and Guo Si, and the status of scholars was gradually shaken.
However, compared with ten years ago, as the princes suppressed scholars in the past decade, the power of the scholars was far less than the ones who were against the will of heaven in the past.
From this point of view, Duan Wei is very close to Ye Zhao.
Looking at Li Ru for a while, Duan Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I will not hide it from Brother Wenyou. I admire the Taiwei's civil and military skills. But... I have not made any achievements now. If I defect to Taiwei at this time, it would be better..."
Duan Wei has heard of the rules of Ye Zhao. He will not reward him for his achievements, and he will not be able to be incompetent. Duan Wei thinks he has some abilities. At least over the years, he has been very effective in managing the place himself. Moreover, he is not very powerful in leading troops to fight, but it is not too bad. However, if he has no achievements, it is probably difficult to use Ye Zhao.
If he wants to start from the bottom again, Duan Wei naturally resists it, and he is no longer young.
"Damn it!" Li Ru looked at Duan Wei and shook his head, "There are great achievements in front of him, how can he say that he is useless?"
"You mean..." Duan Wei looked at Li Ru, a little uncertain.
"Now my master wants to capture Guanzhong. At this moment, Li Jue and Guo Si stationed troops in Ji County. If Brother Zhongming can help my master defeat him, how can he say he is useless?" Li Ru smiled.
"How to do it? Wenyou don't want to go around with me." Duan Wei said in a deep voice.
"Brother Zhongming just needs to help our master clear Li Jue's retreat at the right time." Li Ru smiled.
"What is the right time?"
"It's still unclear now. On the battlefield, there are ever-changing changes. How can I make it clear at this time? Brother Zhongming only led his army to Mei County. At the right time, he will send someone to contact Brother Zhongming."
"Okay, then I'll go to Ji County here." Duan Wei said immediately.
"No hurry. Brother Zhongming had only been thirty miles a day before. Now if he suddenly rushed to the road, then Li Jue and Guo Si would definitely be suspicious!" Li Ru shook his head and said.
"There is another thing, I need to worry about helping me." Duan Wei looked at Li Rudao.
"What's the matter?"
"Yang Ding, do you want to lobby too?" Duan Wei looked at Li Rudao.
"You have any grudges with Yang Qixiu?" Li Ru asked with a smile.
"No," Duan Wei took a deep breath and said, "Li Jue, Guo Si is not the lord of success. When I protected the emperor and returned to the east, Yang Ding was also there. He slandered me and colluded with Guo Si with Zhong Ji, Yang Xin and others, and then defected to Li Jue. In turn, I instigated the emperor and Li Guo to rebel, causing me to lose my troops and generals, and almost died in Huayin. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
Li Ru looked at Duan Wei and suddenly smiled: "But it's a coincidence. I have some grudges with this person, and this time I just ended it."
"Really?" Duan Wei looked at Li Rudao.
"Brother Zhongming just needs to sit on the wall and watch it to see what happened to him." Li Ru smiled.
"I admire Brother Wenyou's ability very much. Then I will just watch Brother Wenyou's ability."
"It's not time to go, let's say goodbye." Li Ru immediately stood up, his journey was a little rushing. He had to lobby these three reinforcements before they arrived in Ji County and met with Li Jue and Guo Si.
Duan Wei got up and was about to see him off, but was stopped by Li Ru. Now, there may not be no Li Jue and Guo Si's spy in this camp. If the clues are seen, it will be unbeautiful at that time.
After leaving a guard to follow Duan Wei as a contact person in the future, Li Ru took Hua Xiong and a team of guards to the road. Ye Zhao will spy on the various cities in Guanzhong over the years, and Li Ru can easily get news about other troops.
Three days later, Yang Ding Daying.
Compared to Duan Wei, Yang Ding was not very polite to Li Ru. After Li Ru expressed his intention, Yang Ding smiled and said directly: "The Taiwei is a stubborn wolf. If I help him, I don't know what the Taiwei is going to do to me."
"Rareless!" Hua Xiong's eyes turned cold and he looked at Yang Ding and said, "What are you? How dare you be so rude to the military advisor?"
"I'm sorry!" Yang Ding looked at Hua Xiong and stepped back calmly: "When Dong Zhuo was there, I was waiting for three points, but now Dong Zhuo is dead, you have no backer. Now you have surrendered to the Taiwei. If I join the Taiwei tent, wouldn't it be better to see your face?"
"You..." Hua Xiong was furious and was about to have an attack, but was stopped by Li Ru.
"My brother Hui said it is good, but as long as my brother Hui is willing to cooperate, a high-ranking official and generous salary in the future will naturally be indispensable. As for the expression of our face, you don't have to worry. If you win this battle, you will be determined to be above me with the merits of my brother Hui!" Li Ru said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yang Ding's expression moved and looked at Li Rudao: "In this way, will anyone cooperate with me? Who is it?"
"Zhu Ci!"
"Sir, he hasn't promised me to wait yet!" Hua Xiong said anxiously.
"Don't worry, Brother Hui is a smart person. Which one is more worthy of joining Li Jue or Guo Si? I believe Brother Hui can see clearly." Li Ru smiled and shook his head.
"Not bad!" Yang Ding smiled and said, "Don't blame Wenyou. I've tried my best before. Please wait for me to tell Ye Hou that I will help you in this battle!"
"Very good!" Li Ru stood up and smiled, "It's not too late, I should go back and report."
"Brother Wenyou hasn't been to that section of Wei yet." Yang Ding smiled.
"This person had old grudges with me in the past, and this time he was also eliminated!" Li Ru said with a smile.
...
Two days later, Zhu Ci went to camp.
"As a result, Yang Ding has agreed?" Zhu Ci looked at Li Rudao.
"Yes, Brother Mingxiao should be clear. Renovation is the best way to judge the situation. Now our master is strong, and Li Guo and his two appearances are in harmony. How can they defeat our master? So they have already secretly presented a letter of surrender to our master!" Li Ru nodded and said.
"Military advisor, he hasn't promised me to wait yet!" Hua Xiong looked at Li Ru with an anxious look on his face.
Li Ru secretly gave Hua Xiong an admiring look and shook his head and said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, and I believe that Brother Mingxiao is a hero."
"Wenyou knows me, tell me, how to do it?" Zhu Ci asked.
"There will be someone notified you at that time." Li Ru smiled.
