Chapter 965: Li Ru comes out(1/2)
A black-clad strategist was brought to Xu Fengnian, with many frowns on his face, with goat whiskers, and a little vicissitudes of life.
Li Ru disappeared after Dong Zhuo's power was destroyed.
Now, Li Ru appears in front of the world again.
It was only more than ten years later that Chu Tian and Xu Fengnian entered their thirties from a young man, while Li Ru grew older.
"Li Ru, where are you during this period?"
The war is approaching, but Xu Fengnian calms down instead.
"The King of Qin framed my lord, so he did not serve him. He lived in seclusion in the mountains of Longnan without caring about worldly affairs. He heard that the King of Qin had been destroyed and his family had declined, so he had to go out of the mountain and ask for an errand. He heard that the Xiliang army attacked Hanzhong, if he did not dislike him, he would be willing to serve in the army."
“…”
Xu Fengnian did not expect that a penny would stump the hero.
Dong Zhuo's chief adviser, the notorious Li Ru, had to come back because of his family's decline.
After all, Li Ru could not do anything without caring about the world. For the sake of future generations, Li Ru came out again after the death of the old Qin, whom he hated the most.
When a person has concerns, he will have weaknesses.
The family is an important concern that many civil and military officials cannot ignore.
Xu Fengnian didn't mind Li Ru's black spots. The strategist gave advice to the king or the general. If the strategist knew the person of the general, he would not provide any evil plan.
"Although I am the commander of the Western Liang Army and have no right to appoint and remove the captain and military advisor, I still have the power to recruit a few clerks and help with affairs. You can serve under my command for the time being."
Xu Fengnian chose to take in Li Ru.
After all, Li Ru was also an important figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Xu Fengnian could still afford the money from a clerk.
Chu Tian gave Xu Fengnian at least tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. Not to mention a few clerks, Xu Fengnian could afford to support a hundred clerks. The problem is that Xu Fengnian could not do such a thing that made Chu Tian fear.
The temporary recruitment of Li Ru is also to better conquer Hanzhong.
In the Xiliang Army, there was a white-clothed Xie Ai, and another black-clothed Li Ru, who served as the two military advisors.
"Li Ru?!"
The Second Corps of the Xiliang Army, Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu and Hua Xiong, were all old subordinates of Dong Zhuo. When they saw the former military advisor Li Ru appear in the Xiliang Army, they were like ghosts.
Li Ru lived in seclusion for ten years and has been forgotten by the world.
When Li Ru saw Xu Rong and others again, he couldn't help but sigh that things were wrong: "Dear colleagues, how are you doing recently?"
"My big knife is not rusted."
Hua Xiong's temples were also white.
Dong Zhuo's old subordinates gathered in the Second Legion again.
Li Ru saw Zhang Xiu: "The boy who was following Zhang Ji at the time can now stand alone? Is Zhang Ji okay now?"
"A few years ago, my uncle was killed in the battle with the Mongolian army in the Battle of Yumen Pass."
"I see."
Li Ru couldn't help but sigh again.
At that time, Dong Zhuo's old subordinates were divided into pieces, Li Jue and Guo Si were unknown in life and death. Fan Chou was burned to death by the Xia army in the Battle of Weibei.
Ten years are enough for things to change.
Two hundred thousand Xiliang troops arrived at Bincheng. Xu Fengnian captured Bincheng with Yuwen Tai, Dugu Xin and Li Hu's Third Wuchuan Legion, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers surrounded Gushan.
Wang Meng bluffed and tried to force the Xiliang army to withdraw, but was discovered by Xu Fengnian, so he led his troops to fight with the Former Qin army in Gushan.
Ma Chao and Pang De of the Western Liang Army were lined up in front of the formation and looked down on the opposite army.
Wang Meng led Lu Bu, Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and Xu Cheng to the battle at the same time, and Fu Jian helped the battle.
There were 150,000 Western Liang troops and 100,000 Former Qin troops. Two armies confronted each other, the north wind was howling and sand was filled with dust.
Lu Bu showed his force alone in front of the 250,000 army: "Lu Fengxian is here, can anyone dare to fight?"
"Come on the fight!"
Ma Chao from the Western Liang army came out and fought with Lu Bu in front of the two armies!
The iron spear roared like the wind in Ma Chao's hands. With the characteristics of gaining Wang Yanzhang, he superimposed with his original personal characteristics and fought against Lu Bu!
"How is it possible..."
Lu Bu and Ma Chao broke out in a battle and found that Ma Chao's weapons were heavier than those used by ordinary generals. When Fang Tian's painting halberd collided with Ma Chao's iron spear, he could not take Ma Chao down.
"Is this the strength of Lu Fengxian who is unparalleled in the world?"
Ma Chao did not forget to speak out loud and mock him.
Lu Bu was furious, and the blue veins on his forehead swelled up, entering an unparalleled state, the gods and demons danced randomly, and the slashing speed of Fang Tian's painting halberd increased significantly, causing Ma Chao to fall into a tough battle!
The Red Rabbit Horse's reaction speed is also far higher than that of other war horses, carrying Lu Bu to rush!
Ma Chao could only defend for a while.
"Lu Bu entered the unparalleled state and was indeed as brave as before. Perhaps in another ten years, Lu Bu's force would decline."
As Dong Zhuo's strategist, Li Ru knew Lu Bu's bravery. When he saw Lu Bu in an unparalleled state, he couldn't help but sigh that Lu Bu was still the same as before.
It’s not that Lu Bu has become weaker, but that other generals have also reached the peak of level 90 or level 100, and Lu Bu has no level suppression.
Xu Rong hugged his chest with his hands and observed Lu Bu who was attacking frantically: "Ma Chao is also unusual to force Lu Bu to this level. Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been born as young people."
"Lu Bu has a Red Rabbit Horse, which seems to improve Lu Bu's combat power. You can go and pick up Ma Chao to withdraw."
Seeing that Ma Chao and Lu Bu had fought hundreds of times, Xu Fengnian was sweating profusely and worried that the number one strong general of the Western Liang army would be a mistake, so he sent Pang De to support Ma Chao.
Pang De dragged his knife out and the war horse galloped!
A green light slashed out, and Lu Bu, who had entered the unparalleled state, reacted in time and blocked Pang De's full-strength slash!
Lu Bu's figure shook, and Ma Chao did not plan to retreat, but continued to attack Lu Bu.
Ten thousand enemies of the Former Qin army, Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao attacked and joined Lu Bu.
"Get out of here, just two of you!"
Lu Bu was very dissatisfied with Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao's appearance.
Deng Qiang also disliked Lu Bu: "If the military advisor had not requested us to fight, I would not have taken action."
Deng Qiang swung his gun, forcing Pang De to block and was in full force.
This time Ma Chao and Pang De had to retreat and return to the Xiliang army.
"The two powerful generals under Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and Wang Meng may be joined by Lu Bu. If they join forces to fight, I might be killed by them among the troops."
When Xu Fengnian saw Ma Chao and Pang De defeated, he knew that Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao had both had a low force, and they might be above 95.
Wang Meng and Fu Jian may have the halo of the entire army.
"It seems that maybe we should ask Chu Zimou for a general, killing Lu Bu's spirit."
Xu Fengnian is patiently waiting for the opportunity.
On the other hand, the Third Wuchuan Legion of the Western Liang Army, Yuwen Tai, and Li Hu, and Dugu Xin, two long-time generals, attacked Xiabian City defended by Lu Guang!
Yuwen Tai held a sword to supervise the battle. He was a hero of the same level as Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others. The battle in Wudu was considered a letter of surrender.
The Xiliang army was eroding Wudu County, while Wang Jian's Guanzhong army was divided into two groups, walking on the Baoxie Road and the Tangluo Road.
The number of 400,000 Guanzhong troops was too large, and the passage between the Qinling Mountains was narrow, so Wang Jian led his own army, while Li Ji led another 200,000 troops and horses, and agreed to jointly attack Guanzhong.
Meng Tian, Meng Wu and his son followed Wang Jian to the expedition, while Feng Yi and Yang Ye followed Li Ji to the expedition.
The Golden Fire Cavalry marched in the Qinling Mountains, and Meng Tian held a long halberd. They had been marching in the Qinling Mountains for five days.
The Qinling Mountains in the lord world are even more majestic, with mountains and ridges, like natural barriers.
"The Shu army may set up city walls at various exits of the Qinling Mountains, which will become a tactic of adding fuel to the strength of the troops. The advantage of the force may not be able to be used."
The topographic map of Western Shu in Wang Jian’s hand has clearly depicted the passes of the Qinling Mountains.
The Shu army only needs to defend the pass, and the two sides are in stalemate. Then, Wang Jian's army may have to retreat because of the food being exhausted.
However, if you attack Hanzhong from Guanzhong, you must risk the food cut and try to attack Hanzhong.
There is still a chance to try, but if you don’t try, you don’t even have the chance to conquer Hanzhong.
In Chengdu City, Liu Bei received a request for help from Hanzhong.
There were 250,000 troops in Hanzhong, Wang Meng supervised 130,000 people to resist the Western Liang army, and Yang Su had only 120,000 people to stay in Hanzhong.
Liu Bei summoned troops in Chengdu.
Liu Bei also had difficult problems and could not spend all the troops in Shu.
The Xiliang army may have a surprise attack on Yinping and march into Mianzhu and Chengdu. Therefore, Liu Bei must leave at least 100,000 people to defend Chengdu and the cities around Chengdu.
To suppress the Southern Barbarians, at least 100,000 troops are required.
Brazilian counties also need troops to guard them.
