    Li Ji was not so crazy that he even risked his life for power.  At that moment, he quickly ordered several groups of soldiers to stop him, while he fled to the rear.  Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Guan Yu each led their troops, and they massacred Li Ji's army indiscriminately, causing Li Ji's troops to become confused. In addition, Zhang Ji's life and death were unknown, Zhang Xiu was chased by Guan Yu, and Li Ji took care of himself.  Fleeing, no one was commanding the army. In the end, I didn't know which general was leading, but I couldn't control the fear in my heart and led the troops to flee.  Suddenly, a series of chain reactions occurred. Groups of Li soldiers squeezed each other and fled madly to the rear.  The allied forces of Cao and Wen took advantage of this to cover up the killing, but Dian Wei rushed faster and faster, with strong fighting spirit and a bad wind all over his body. He saw that he broke through the blocking of several groups of Li soldiers and was about to kill Li Ji behind him.

    Suddenly, there was a shocking cry of killing on the top of the mountain. When Li Jie saw the leader, he immediately showed a look of ecstasy and shouted repeatedly.

    "General Xu, come and save me!!!"

    Xu Rong, who was originally stationed in the camp, heard that Li Cui's army was fighting with Cao and Wen's coalition forces at the foot of the mountain. He made a prompt decision and immediately recruited troops and horses to help.  When he arrived, he happened to see Dian Wei rushing toward Li.  Xu Rong hurriedly led a group of elite soldiers to rush over. When he was approaching, he ordered the crossbowmen to block the attack with arrows. Dian Wei was hit by a wave of arrows. As soon as the wave of arrows stopped, another group of cavalry rushed towards him. Dian Wei rode his horse.  He went to meet him and fought with him for a while. Xu Rong ordered two teams of sword and shield men to attack Dian Wei on the left and right, hoping to surround and kill Dian Wei.  When Dian Wei saw more and more Li soldiers around him, the hunger and murderous intent on his face became even stronger. He actually refused to retreat and swung his iron halberd to fight with the Li soldiers on all sides.

    Li Cui was able to catch his breath and retreated behind Xu Rong's formation. Seeing that Li Cui was fine, Xu Rong felt a little more stable, and then he led the remaining elite soldiers to meet the soldiers and horses below who were being chased by Xu Chu and Guan Yu's troops.

    The arrival of Xu Rong's new troops greatly boosted the morale of Li Bing, who was fleeing. In addition, Xu Rong was the only capable general under the former Dong thief.  Xu Rong rushed over and issued several orders in succession. He first asked the new forces to block the attack, Xu Chu and Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, and then took the opportunity to collect the rebel army. When the army was ready, Xu Chu and Guan Yu happened to break through the blockade, but by this time Xu Rong had already  Prepare your defense and order the crossbowmen to use strong bows and crossbows to drive them back.

    Guan Yu calmed his expression and saw that Li Bing was no longer in chaos under the command of Xu Rong and was well prepared for defense. He knew that killing more would be fruitless and would only waste his troops, so he said to Xu Chu next to him.

    "General Xu, in such a situation, it is useless to attack by force. Moreover, at this time, Cao Yanzhou and my third brother must have already led troops into the city. Our mission has been completed, why don't we just retreat?"

    Xu Chu squinted his eyes and stared at Xu Rong who was commanding the formation. He didn't know what he was thinking. He thought for a while and was about to answer Guan Yu, but found that Dian Wei was nowhere to be seen around him. He suddenly felt helpless and angry.  He cursed in his heart.

    "This reckless evil man must have become more aggressive and penetrated deep behind the enemy's rear!!"

    Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite general and cannot allow any mistakes. Xu Chuzheng wanted to tell Guan Yu that he would lead his troops to rescue Dian Wei, and let Guan Yu lead his troops to plunder the formation, and then retreat together.  However, before Xu Chu could say anything, he saw a huge chaos in the enemy formation on the opposite side. He saw Dian Wei roaring repeatedly and dancing wildly with a pair of iron halberds, as if he was in an uninhabited land. He rushed left and right, leading a group of men and horses.  Fight wildly in the enemy's formation.

    "General Guan, can you and I rescue General Dian first, and then withdraw the troops?"

    "It should be so."

    Guan Yu nodded silently, and then Guan Yu and Xu Chu flapped their horses almost at the same time. The two horses flew out, weapons raised at the same time, and charged straight into the bandit formation. They were invincible and could not resist.  After breaking through several groups of Li soldiers to stop him, he fought his way to Dian Wei's side.  Dian Wei had a weird smile on his face, and without saying much to Xu Chu and Guan Yu, the three of them killed each other in one direction and charged in unison.  Xu Rong saw that the martial arts of these three men were terrifying and knew that it was impossible to surround and kill Dian Wei. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to order the soldiers to disperse and make way for a highway to allow these three evil gods to escape.

    Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu rushed back to the formation and ordered the crossbowmen to retreat. Each of the three of them led a team of cavalry in front and behind.  Those Li soldiers who confronted him saw the enemy retreat, but no one had the intention to pursue them.  Because of the three evil gods, one was indifferent, one had a smile on his face, and the other had murderous intent in his eyes, looking down at them like three giant beasts that swallowed the sky.

    For half an hour, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Guan Yu led only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and nearly 780,000 Li soldiers, facing each other at a distance of less than 300 meters.  Instead, more frightened and horrified expressions appeared on the faces of Li Bing's soldiers, who had more troops.

    Seeing that all the bowmen and crossbowmen had retreated, Dian Wei looked at Xu Chu and Guan Yu, and the three of them issued orders at the same time, leading the army to retreat slowly.  Xu Rong watched them leave silently. As for Li Cui, he was so shocked after repeated defeats that he had no intention of fighting again.

    When Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu led their troops to Chang'an City, as Guan Yu expected, all the Cao and Wen coalition forces had entered Chang'an City not long ago.  At the same time, Cao Cao and Wen HanThey each sent people to notify Xu Chu and Guan Yu, asking them to lead their troops back to their camps to prepare for any eventuality.  Moreover, there was a shortage of grain and grass in Chang'an City, and their soldiers and horses were needed to escort the grain and grass from the camp.

    In addition, Cao Cao notified Dian Wei and ordered him to enter Chang'an City.  Cao Cao gave this order for no other reason than to let Dian Wei protect his safety.  After all, in the city of Chang'an, there was Lu Bu, an invincible opponent in the world. If this person suddenly broke out and came to a sudden death, Cao Cao would not have to worry if Dian Wei was by his side at that time.

    After Dian Wei, Guan Yu, and Xu Chu received the order, Dian Wei grinned, understanding Cao Cao's intention, and immediately rode into the city.  As for Xu Chu and Guan Yu, they each led their troops back to the stronghold to prepare for the grain transportation entrusted by Cao Cao and Wen Han.

    At this point, with the combined forces of Cao Cao and Wen Han, most of the troops from both sides entered Chang'an City.  The combined forces of the two, plus Lu Bu's troops, now have a strength of **0,000 in Chang'an City.  After Li Jie's repeated defeats today, he suffered heavy losses in troops. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Jie will never have the slightest chance of breaking through Chang'an City.

    But he said that after Li Cui and Xu Rong led their troops back to the stronghold, a few hours later, the statistics of the battle results were released.  In Li Cui's tent, a captain in charge of the battle report was reporting today's battle report with great trembling.

    "By the way, my lord! In today's battle, we lost 1,600 flying bear soldiers, 6,000 cavalry, 4,000 spearmen, and 2,000 sword and shield soldiers. Because General Zhang Xian was killed by the enemy general, and his subordinates had no  He was commanded by others, so the casualties were extremely heavy. More than 8,000 of his crossbowmen were killed!"

    Li Ji¡¯s eyes kept widening, his mouth seemed to be breathing fire, and he took a deep breath of air.

    "There are more than 20,000 troops. In this battle, my army lost more than 20,000 troops, but it did not prevent Cao Cao and Wen Han from entering Chang'an!!!"

    At the end of the sentence, Li Cui was almost roaring at the top of his lungs.  All the generals in the tent lowered their heads unconsciously, and one of them seemed to be filled with strong black energy, and his handsome face was as hideous as an evil ghost.  This person is Zhang Xiu. The Zhang Xian mentioned by the general just now is Zhang Xiu's younger brother. Zhang Xian has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He is good at using spears and has superb martial arts.  Although Zhang Xiu is young, he has always had ambitions and hopes that one day he can assist Zhang Ji in his rebellion and become a great prince.  In this way, there must be no shortage of powerful generals under Zhang Ji's command. In addition to himself, Zhang Xian has been secretly cultivated and promoted by him, hoping that in the future, Zhang Xian will become a talented person and assist Zhang Ji with him.  However, what was unexpected was that before Zhang Ji was killed, Zhang Xian had already become the dead soul of others.

    What makes Zhang Xiu even more heartbroken and hateful is that Zhang Ji¡¯s life or death is uncertain at the moment!  !

    "Li Zhiran is brave, reckless and willful. If he hadn't disobeyed Uncle Zhang and insisted on attacking! How could Uncle Zhang end up like this!!"

    Zhang Xiu suddenly became startled with a black face, and glanced at Li Cui with a very sinister look.  At the same time, there was a hint of resentment towards Li Ji in his heart.  At this time, Li Ji didn't know what Zhang Xiu was thinking.  He was also suppressing a lot of anger and hatred. At the current situation, he was absolutely passive.

    Li Ji gritted his teeth and looked at the generals under the table. He opened his mouth and asked almost all about one thing, that is, whether to withdraw or stay in Chang'an.  Except for Zhang Xiu and Xu Rong who did not speak for the time being, all the generals of Li Army began to speak.

    What made Li Cui's face look worse and worse was that almost most of these generals suggested that Li Cui evacuate Chang'an and deploy troops to defend Yongzhou before the situation became irreversible. Otherwise, Yongzhou would be lost.  , they will become lost dogs!

    Li Cui had a cold face and said nothing. If he really wanted to evacuate, how could Li Cui be willing to do so?  But nowadays, morale is low, and if the generals leading the army have no fighting spirit and do not agree with his lord, then even if they stay in Chang'an, they will not be able to make any big waves.

    Xu Rong silently paid attention to Li Cui's face, as if he could see through Li Cui's thoughts, and secretly shook his head and sighed.  In fact, Xu Rong also wanted to evacuate, but he couldn't say it for no other reason. He had a very high reputation in the army. If he did, he would also express his intention to evacuate.  Then most of the soldiers in the army will definitely have no intention of staying in Chang'an.  It was obvious to Li Ji that he wanted to stay in Chang'an.  After all, Li Cui is the lord. If he insists on doing it, who can stop him?  But if this is the case, Li Ji will be alienated from his generals and soldiers. Once this happens, the day when Li Ji's power will collapse is not far away.

    Thinking of this, Xu Rong couldn't help but feel a little desolate. He thought that when Dong Zhuo was still alive, the Liangzhou Army was famous all over the world. Wherever the Liangzhou soldiers went, they were much better than the soldiers of other factions.  Times have changed, but today's Liangzhou soldiers have become street rats that everyone wants to beat. Moreover, if Li Jiu is blinded by power again, refuses to listen to loyal advice, and alienates his soldiers, Liangzhou military command will surely disappear soon.  In this world.

    And Xu Rong is nowAll that can be done is to make up for the relationship between Li Cui and the generals and bring them together. In this way, maybe the Liangzhou military commander still has a place in the world.

    Xu Rong stood up slowly. Li Jie and all the generals in the tent couldn't help but cast their eyes on Xu Rong.  With Xu Rong's reputation in the military, his words carry a decisive weight.

    "In my opinion, although both Cao Cao and Wen Han have entered Chang'an City, this may not be a bad thing."

    Li Jiu looked startled, then frowned and said nothing.  A general named Song Guo under Li Jie asked in doubt.

    "Oh? General Xu has any great ideas. I would like to hear the details."

    Xu Rong nodded slightly, calmed down his expression, and spoke again.

    "My lord, colleagues. Cao Cao and Wen Han are both heroes in the world. Although they are using the slogan of "King Qin", I think you all know what they think. And Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf, how can he allow others to take advantage of the tiger's mouth?  Grabbing food. The three of them are bound to have some intrigues and scheming for control of the Holy One. So, why don't we prepare to retreat first and withdraw our troops to Beidi and Feng Yi, without the threat of our army.  The fight will definitely become more intense. When these three people fight to the death and lose their troops, our army will take advantage of the situation and kill them all in one fell swoop. In the end, won¡¯t the Holy One also fall under our control?¡±

    "Hahaha, wonderful! General Xu's words are very suitable for me!!"

    Li Jiu¡¯s eyes shone when he heard this. As soon as Xu Rong finished speaking, he laughed loudly and clapped his hands in approval.  As for the other generals, they all felt that Xu Rong's plan was feasible and agreed with it.
