Gu Yi had even become their ancestor in the eyes of Li Jue and Guo Si at this moment!

As long as this ancestor didn't lead the army back to Chang'an, but entered Chencang, everything would still have room for maneuver.

"Hehe, the soldiers under the two generals are all veteran soldiers."

"I am a newcomer who has just started and has no experience in leading troops, how dare I take over?"

"In my opinion, let me return to Chang'an!"

"With the two generals sitting in command on the front line, everything is worry-free!"

Gu Yi smiled slightly.

But at this moment, this smile reflected in the eyes of Li Jue and Guo Si was like a devil from hell.

They really couldn't imagine what kind of ruthless person this Gu Yi was!

If they continued to show him the show of force today.

I am afraid... Li and Guo would die without knowing how they died!

Thinking of this.

Li Jue and Guo Si couldn't help but shiver together.

The two hurriedly accompanied with a smile:

"What is Linzhi saying?"

"You are the front-line commander appointed by the Chancellor himself, and we are just the pawns under your command."

"All command power should naturally be in your hands, so we can be at ease."

After saying that.

Li Jue and Guo Si actually stepped forward at the same time.

And handed over the tiger tally in their hands.

Looking at this scene.

Hua Xiong and Zhang Ji, who were full of anger before.

Now didn't know whether to complain about Li Jue and Guo Si, or sympathize with them.

"Hehe, don't worry, two generals."

"In my opinion, today’s matter is just a misunderstanding."

"Now, the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

"The generals and I, as colleagues, should work together."

"Linzhi is right, right!"

Li Jue and Guo Si echoed hurriedly.

At this moment, if someone who didn't know the situation saw this scene.

I am afraid they would think that the three were quite good colleagues!

But in fact.

A dispute over military power was solved by Gu Yi invisibly.

Li Jue and Guo Si would probably have nightmares tonight.

But even if they were given ten guts, I am afraid they wouldn't dare to go against Gu Yi again.

After entering the city.

Through the narration of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Gu Yi roughly understood the situation on the front line.

Han Sui and the Guanxi coalition under his command had attacked Chencang twice before.

But the geographical location of Chencang was special.

Even if Han Sui and the Guanxi coalition tried their best, they couldn't do anything to this pass-type city.

Afterward, Han Sui led the Guanxi coalition to withdraw from here temporarily.

According to the inference of Li Jue and Guo Si.

Han Sui probably wanted to return to Fufeng, finish off Xu Rong and Ma Teng first, and then come back to attack Chencang.

In other words.

The situation faced by Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Ma Teng, and others was quite critical.

More than one hundred thousand Guanxi coalition troops were surrounding them.

And the supply line had been cut off.

I don't know how long they can hold on.

Looking at the map presented before him.

An excellent plan slowly emerged in Gu Yi’s mind!

If this plan is executed, the Guanxi coalition led by Han Sui will enter a state of disintegration in minutes!

"Gentlemen, I have already devised a strategy to defeat the enemy."

"But it will require your full and dedicated support."

Gu Yi scanned the assembled generals and spoke.

As he said this,

Gu Yi’s gaze lingered for a moment longer on the faces of Li Jue and Guo Si.

This couldn't help but make the two of them feel a chill run through their hearts.

The feeling of being targeted by a ruthless, venomous strategist was truly unsettling...

The two hurriedly stood up and said:

"Linzhi, rest assured, this time we two will follow your every command!"

"If you point west, we will never head east!"

Hearing these two pledge their loyalty, the other generals couldn't help but feel a sense of bewilderment.

Li Jue and Guo Si were considered the most arrogant among the Xiliang loyalists.

Yet, facing Gu Yi now,

they acted as if they had encountered their natural predator.

They didn't dare harbor any petty schemes at all.

Nodding slightly, Gu Yi pointed to the map and said to the generals:

"Gentlemen, although the Guanshi Allied Army under Han Sui is numerous and powerful,"

"if you break them down, they are nothing but a rabble."

"The main reason they chose to join Han Sui is that they want to take advantage of this opportunity to reap some benefits."

"But if they not only fail to gain any benefits but also suffer losses in troops, and even lose their own territories,"

"will they still follow Han Sui with such single-minded devotion?"

Before Gu Yi’s voice had even faded, Guo Si rushed to respond:

"Of course not!"

"These small warlords who hang around with Han Sui are attacking Ma Teng this time"

"mainly because they fear that Ma Teng, having received the title from the Prime Minister, would see his strength surge and swallow them up in one fell swoop."

This statement received unanimous agreement from the generals.

Originally, Ma Teng and Han Sui were the two strongest among these small warlords carving up Liangzhou.

In order to pacify Liangzhou,

Dong Zhuo adopted Gu Yi’s strategy.

By bestowing an official title upon Ma Teng and verifying his identity as a descendant of the General Who Calms the Waves, Ma Yuan, he allowed Ma Teng’s strength to grow to a certain extent.

Ma Teng took the bait.

Immediately after, he faced the siege of Han Sui and the various small warlords of Liangzhou.

At this moment, for the Dong Zhuo faction, it should have been time to close the net.

But it was a great pity that...
