Great Han Empire

Chapter 895 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Zhang Ming, Ling Ru and other civil and military officials in Xiliang were very surprised by Han Sui's policy of sticking to Guanzhong.

After the end of the Central Plains War, Hebei's strength has become increasingly strong. Han Sui explained this to everyone when he conquered Guanzhong.With Xiliang's current strength, it is impossible to stand alone in Guanzhong, and must unite with Yuan Shao to fight against Hebei. However, judging from the current situation, the survival crisis of Xiliang people is getting more and more serious. If they continue to stick to the passive defense strategy, Guanzhong is very likely to be lost.

"Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative to attack, replace defense with offense, and survive from death." Han Sui said resolutely, "This battle must be fought if not fought."

"It's too risky to deceive the Hebei people and lure the Northeast Frontier Army into Guanzhong for encirclement and annihilation." Zhang Ming immediately objected, "The purpose of the Northern Frontier Army entering Guanzhong is to attack Guanxi and Luoyang. It is impossible for them to have only [-] troops. It is impossible for all of their [-] troops to enter Guanzhong. Once we wipe out the Northern Xinjiang army that entered Guanzhong, we will definitely suffer wild revenge from Hebei."

"How many troops are there in Hebei? Just look at the Central Plains War. Li Hong deceived all his opponents in the Central Plains War. At the last moment of the war, he actually dispatched 20 Hu tribe cavalry from the desert to participate in the decisive battle. In a blink of an eye, Yuan Shao What is the most powerful force in Hebei? It is not the [-]-strong army in Hebei, but Li Hong, the desert iron cavalry who bows to Li Hong."

"We wiped out the Northeast Frontier Army in Hebei Province, can we really stick to Guanzhong? It's very difficult, too difficult. Maybe you think that after the Northern Frontier Army suffered heavy losses in Guanzhong after the Central Plains War, it was defeated by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's troops. After containment, in the short term, due to lack of wealth, we will not be able to continue to use troops to pass the middle, but have you thought about the iron cavalry in the desert?"

"How much is the way from the desert to Guanzhong? The Hu tribe's iron cavalry crossed Helan Mountain, passed through Lingwu Valley to the Yellow River, and then roared down, and could cross Liupan Mountain overnight. If Li Hong is determined to sweep Guanzhong, the people on the desert The Hu tribe's iron cavalry will overcome all difficulties and enter Guanzhong, and they can reach Chang'an at any time."

"Li Hong used the Hu tribe's iron cavalry to attack the Central Plains. Perhaps he had such scruples, but Guanzhong is now deserted, and Chang'an was burned down by Li Jue. What scruples does Li Hong have? Li Hong is a leopard. A bloody and cruel leopard, in his eyes, there is no prey that cannot be killed. Over the past ten years, we have been defeated by him repeatedly when we have the advantage, and today we are at an absolute disadvantage, and we have no possibility of defeating him."

Zhang Ming was the son of Zhang Huan, the former general of the Liao Dynasty, and was of the same family as Han Sui.The reason why the Xiliang Army was able to take Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong this time is a great contribution.Zhang Ming is in his 50s, with a gray beard, thin body and piercing eyes.His backlash silenced everyone.

"What is the purpose of our attack on Guanzhong? It is for Xiliang, to protect Xiliang and defend the territory. If we want to protect Xiliang and guard the territory, we need two crucial conditions. One is the army. We need the army, we need A strong enough army. The second is wealth. The army needs money and food, and the relief of Xiliang people needs money and food. Do you have the land of the three assistants?" Zhang Ming waved his hands excitedly, and said loudly, "Brother Wen Yue, you need troops to fight the Northern Frontier Army. Since Yuan Shao has given us money and food, don't expect his army to fight to the death! We have suffered heavy losses, how can we still occupy Guanzhong? Whether it is Li Hong or Yuan Shao, they will take the opportunity to attack us and rob Guanzhong. We fled back to Xiliang in a state of distress. We have no soldiers, no food, how can we protect the western border? "

=

Zhang Ming's words aroused the agreement of Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Liang Xing and others.As Li Hong's opponents, while they hated Li Hong, they also admired Li Hong very much. At the same time, they lacked the confidence to defeat Li Hong.

Han Sui seemed to have expected that the Xiliang people did not have the courage and determination to attack the Northern Army. He was very calm and listened quietly, without any refutation or persuasion to Zhang Ming, Yang Qiu and others.

"So far, Hebei has not promised us any conditions other than threatening us." Ling Ru said helplessly, "Huangfu Li has issued a final warning. If we still refuse the Northeast Army of Hebei to enter Guanzhong by the end of this month, they will launch an attack. .Aren’t we going to give up Guanzhong like this?”

"With the current situation in Hebei, it is impossible to agree to our conditions." Zhang Ming shook his head and smiled wryly, "If it were you, would you agree to such conditions?"

"One thing we must admit is that when Xijiang was in extreme difficulty, it was Hebei and Li Hong who reached out to help Xijiang. At that time, Guanzhong was occupied by Yuan Shao. If Hebei wanted to transport money and food to Xijiang, it had to cross the prairie outside the Great Wall. , need to cross the bowstring desert and the sky desert, need to cross the surging Yellow River, there are many difficulties, and the consumption on the way is even more amazing, but Hebei gritted his teeth to bear it, and Hebei persisted. I remember you told me that when you see When Hebei sent people thousands of miles to transport money and food to the western Xinjiang, many of you shed tears, and Brother Wen Yue also shed tears."

"Perhaps you think that Hebei helped Xijiang at the beginning because it wanted to use Xijiang's army to contain Yuan Shao, and maybe you thought that Yuan Shao would also help Xijiang to stabilize Guanzhong, but have you ever thought that if Hebei did not help you, Yuan Shao would not be afraid of you sending troops Guanzhong? Did Yuan Shao dare to attack Hedong after he gave you food? No, Yuan Shao will never attack Hedong. He doesn’t have that strength. The Xinjiang army attacked Guanzhong and deliberately wooed Xijiang." Zhang Ming knocked hard on the case table, "I have been in Guanzhong, and I can see clearly that only Hebei and Li are really willing to help and protect Xijiang. Hiro."

"Today, you don't accept Hebei's love, and you don't want to give Li Hong this face. Neither Hebei nor Li Hong hate you. They still respect Xijiang and Brother Wen Yue very much. They sent Huangfu Li over and over again. Go to Chang'an to discuss in detail, why? Is it really because after the Great War in the Central Plains, they are unable to attack Guanzhong? No, they want to discuss with Xijiang, meet Xijiang's requirements as much as possible, and help Xijiang's army guard Xijiang."

"However, as of today, Brother Wen Yue and you have no intention of negotiating. You have made many unreasonable demands and repeatedly delayed the time. I thought you wanted to use this time to stabilize Guanzhong and wait for the situation to change so that you can get out of the negotiation. Striving for the best interests of the Western Xinjiang, who knew..." Zhang Ming looked at Han Sui, and waved his hands angrily, "Who knew, you guys are going to lose your head and want to turn against Hebei and fight the Northern Xinjiang Army. If I had known this, Back then, I would never have opened the gates of Chang’an to help you seize Guanzhong. Now, not only did I fail to help Xijiang, but instead sent Xijiang to the abyss of defeat, I really regret it.”

=

Zhang Ming's words made many officials in Xiliang look ashamed.In the past few years, if Hebei hadn't kept its promise and continuously delivered relief money and food to Xijiang, Xijiang would have been unsustainable.It was also because of Hebei's support that Yuan Shao felt the huge threat from Xijiang, and he had no choice but to do his best to win over Xijiang.But even so, Yuan Shao still killed Ma Teng after the battle in Jizhou and drove Ma Chao back to Western Xinjiang.Originally, Han Sui had a chance to capture Guanzhong that time, but because Ma Chao was eager for revenge, he fell out with Han Sui, and there was internal strife in Xiliang, so the result fell short.If you want to get to the bottom of it, the culprit is Yuan Shao, he really has no sincerity to help Xijiang.

But at present, in order to attack Luoyang, Hebei is pressing the Xiliang people step by step, which makes the Xiliang people feel threatened.

"In your opinion, how should we deal with it now?" Seeing that Han Sui and Ling Ru bowed their heads in silence, Yang Qiu asked Zhang Ming in a low voice.

"There are currently two emperors and two courts in the world. Which emperor and court should Xiliang respect?" Zhang Ming asked loudly, "Who can tell me?"

"Xiliang has been on two boats in the past few years. It seems to have both sides, but it is actually extremely passive. The emergence of today's situation is precisely because of the wrong choice at the beginning. Xiliang has not even known who the emperor is. Where is the imperial court? Don’t you feel very sad? Brother Wen Yue or you, you have vowed to defend Xijiang, but your heart is empty. You don’t know the future of Xijiang, you don’t know where you should go Therefore, they are often at a loss in complex situations, unable to do anything, and even make wrong judgments and countermeasures one after another.”

"If Xiliang wants to get out of the predicament, we must first establish who we should respect as the emperor of the Han Dynasty and which court order we should obey." Zhang Ming looked at the crowd and said slowly, "Then, what should Xiliang do?" This choice, what is the future destiny, it is clear."

"Brother Wen Yue's choice is very clear. He wants to join forces with Yuan Shao to attack the northern border army in Hedong. He respects the emperor and court of Nanyang." Zhang Ming looked at Han Sui, with a sneer on his lips, "Brother Wen Yue seems to have forgotten, If Yuan Shao is determined to rejuvenate the Great Han Sheji, the emperor and the court of Nanyang should be in Luoyang now. Yuan Shao intends to usurp the Han, and the world knows it, and Brother Wen Yue joins forces with such people, what is the fate of Xiliang in the future, I need to tell Your lords?"

"Perhaps Brother Wen Yue has another choice, which is to use Guanzhong as the foundation to dominate Western Xinjiang." Zhang Ming's face showed contempt, "But judging from the current situation, it is indeed possible for Brother Wen Yue to dominate Western Xinjiang, but The result is nothing more than becoming a bandit in Western Xinjiang due to poverty, and finally gradually losing the ability to defend Western Xinjiang. The so-called hegemony is nothing but a self-deceiving scam, and the victims are the vast territory of Western Xinjiang and more than 30 innocent people .”

The generals in Xiliang were panicked.

Huangfu Li visited all the Xiliang generals in Chang'an, and his efforts seemed to have played a certain role, and Zhang Ming's righteous "bombardment" today made the Xiliang generals more sober about the current situation. know.Yang Qiu and others began to carefully advise Han Sui, asking him to think carefully again.

"Have you ever heard of the false doctrine against Guo?" Han Sui asked with a smile.

The generals were silent.

"It's been more than ten years since Li Hong led his troops into Western Xinjiang. We have always been enemies. Have we ever fought the enemy side by side? Are we life-and-death friends?"

Zhang Ming sighed in disappointment.

"Hebei has always said that it wants to fight Luoyang. Okay, let's help him fight Luoyang. After Luoyang is defeated? Where are we going? Should we return to Xiliang or continue to sit in Guanzhong?"

There is no need for an answer to this sentence, Hebei will not let Han Sui and his Xiliang army stay in Guanzhong for a long time.

"We returned to Xiliang and continued to guard the frontier. The emperor of Jinyang and the court returned to the capital, while Li Hong continued to lead his army to conquer the south." Han Sui stared at Zhang Ming and asked word by word, "Xi What about Liang? Who will solve the problem in Xiliang? Will the emperor and the court in Luoyang concentrate on solving the problem in Xiliang before the world is settled? Can we trust the emperor and court in Luoyang?"

Han Sui stood up slowly, took a few steps back and forth in the lobby, and then stopped in front of Zhang Ming, "Your words make sense, you and I have the same ultimate goal, both for Xiliang, but you think we The Son of Heaven and the imperial court must be respected, but if you look at the world today, who else respects the Son of Heaven and the imperial court? Whether it is the Son of Heaven and the imperial court in Nanyang, or the Son of Heaven and the imperial court in Jinyang, who really respects them?”

"After King Li Hongqin succeeded, how many days did he stay in Jinyang? As far as Hebei is concerned, is it the court master of Jinyang who is in power, or the general Xingyuan who is in power? What about Yuan Shao? How many years has Yuan Shao occupied Luoyang? Do you want to take the emperor and the court to Luoyang? You let the people of Xiliang honor the emperor and the court, to honor such an emperor and the court, what is the use to Xiliang? Can you help Xiliang get out of the predicament?"

"If Xiliang wants to survive, we can only rely on ourselves. After so many years of fighting and the blood and lives of countless brothers, we have clearly seen our own way of survival."

Facing the generals, Han Sui sighed, "But the reality is cruel. Hebei is indeed very powerful, so powerful that we Xiliang people lose their fighting spirit. Without fighting spirit, how can we talk about survival?"

"Everyone has illusions about Hebei, hoping that they can help Xiliang and defend Xiliang, so do I, and I have the same expectation." Han Sui waved his hand vigorously, "Okay, let's show our sincerity and have a talk with Hebei .If Hebei agrees to our conditions, we will join hands with Hebei to fight Luoyang. If Hebei still refuses, then I can only tell you in despair that if we want to survive, we have to fight to the death.”

"For Xiliang, the most urgent issue at hand is survival, the survival of more than 30 people. I originally planned to relocate the population immediately after the stability of Guanzhong, but now if we join hands with Hebei, Guanzhong will be stabilized immediately, and there will be no If there is any danger, we can immediately start population migration."

Han Sui pointed to Zhang Ming, "Go and discuss with Huangfu Li yourself. As long as Hebei agrees to this condition, I can give them Guanzhong, and I can help them fight Luoyang. When Luoyang is captured, I can immediately return to Xiliang with the army guard."

"I have only one condition now. If Hebei does not agree, then we just need to take up arms and fight bloody for our own survival and Xiliang's survival, and we will never back down."

Huangfu Li flatly refused.

"Brother Zhongyi, Xiliang has only one request, one request..." Zhang Ming begged bitterly, "Brother Wen Yue has already retreated to this point, what do you want from him? You can prevent the Xiliang army from stationing in Guanzhong , but the people of Xiliang must be moved to Guanzhong so that they can live? Is this small request too much?"

"This request is not only excessive, but also will make the big man lose Xijiang quickly and completely." Huangfu Li waved his hands angrily, and shouted, "The imperial court would rather allocate five years of relief to Xiliang than a hundred thousand troops in Xiliang." With sufficient food and salaries, I would rather let General Pang De lead the army to recover the five Hexi counties than let Xiliang people move into Guanzhong."

"Why? Why did you do this?" Zhang Ming was trembling with anger, and shouted in a hoarse voice, "You can ask the eldest princess, ask the general, what right do you have to refuse? Don't you want to make Guanzhong change? Become a bloody battlefield?"

"Why? You said why? You are from Xiliang, don't you know?" Huangfu Li pointed at Zhang Ming's nose and scolded angrily, "Have you lived in vain all your life? Xiliang's population of 30 moved into Guanzhong, and the whole The Xiliang defense line will be retreated for two thousand miles, and the Qiang cavalry will soon reach Dasanguan and Chencang, approaching Chang'an, all western borders will be lost, and Guanzhong will become a battleground."

"The Xiliang army is still guarding the frontier in the western border, how could the Qiang people kill Guanzhong? Don't scare me."

"I'm alarmist?" Huangfu Li laughed angrily, "Your father is a famous general in this dynasty, and he was so powerful in the frontiers. Why do your descendants know nothing about military affairs?"

In his later years, Zhang Huan devoted himself to studying Confucian classics and had thousands of disciples.His eldest son Zhang Zhi and his second son Zhang Chang are both famous calligraphers, while Zhang Ming himself is a great scholar of Confucian classics.Huangfu Li's words made Zhang Ming's face flushed with anger, his eyes widened and he was speechless in shame.

"At that time, General Meng Tian of the Great Qin State led an army of 30 troops to the north, conquered Hetao, forced the Yin Mountains, and opened up a large area of ​​territory. In order to defend the territory, the first emperor ordered that 10 people migrated from the interior several times to the north to fill the border."

"At that time, the great general Wei Qing, the Hussar General Huo Qubing and other famous generals of the dynasty led expeditions repeatedly to open up territories for the great Han. In order to defend these territories, Emperor Xiaowu ordered the migration of more than 20 million people to the north for more than 100 years. Go to Hetao and Hexi to garrison fields and guard the border."

"Why did the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty and the emperor Xiaowu of this dynasty spend huge sums of money to relocate the population to defend the border? It is very simple. The army guarding the border needs food, but sending food from the interior to the frontier is very expensive and consumes even more national strength. It is astonishing. There is no country whose national power can bear such a heavy burden for a long time. Frontier defense requires a steady stream of soldiers, but soldiers who rush to the frontier from the interior are often unaccustomed, and the combat effectiveness of the army cannot be guaranteed. , the frontier fortress cannot be replenished with troops in the shortest possible time."

"After moving the population to the north, there are more people in the border counties, more cultivated land, more soldiers and food, and the frontier fortress will become more and more secure." Huangfu Li tried his best to hold back his anger and explained a few words, "More than a dozen Years ago, there were endless wars in the northern and western borders. It seemed that the national power was not enough and the imperial court's wealth was insufficient, but it was because of the serious land annexation in the border counties, the extreme corruption of the officials, and the bad climate in the border counties. The Hu people repeatedly invaded , the people could not survive, so they had to leave their hometowns and fled. The population of border counties is decreasing, the land is becoming more and more barren, and the supply of soldiers and food is decreasing sharply. The combat effectiveness of the army can be imagined. .As time went on, this cycle became more and more serious, and when the situation became too bad to be saved, the frontier defenses collapsed, and the flames of war immediately soared into the sky and quickly spread to the entire border."

"Now the defense of western Xinjiang has collapsed. With the efforts of the imperial court and the generals, northern Xinjiang has migrated refugees several times to the north to farm and guard the border. After 15 years of rectification, stability has gradually been restored."

"If Western Xinjiang wants to restore stability, defeating the Qiang people is only a small problem. The bigger problem is the migration of the population, the garrison of the fields and the promotion and implementation of a series of new policies, so as to ensure the long-term stability of Western Xinjiang."

"Before I arrived in Chang'an, the imperial court discussed the matter of Xijiang many times. Among them, some ministers also mentioned the suggestion of temporarily abandoning Xijiang and moving all the people of Xijiang to Guanzhong, but this suggestion was immediately rejected. Once Xinjiang is abandoned, once the people of Xijiang move into Guanzhong, the situation in Xijiang will completely change, and there is no room for saving. Once Xijiang is lost, Guanzhong will be in jeopardy. In order to protect the Central Plains, the imperial court will definitely do its best in Guanzhong , This will greatly delay the pace of the imperial court's pacification of the world. What's more serious is that in the future, the imperial court will need to spend astonishing financial and material resources in order to regain the western border, to migrate the population to the western border, and to guard the border in the western border. The western border may Once again dragged down the big man alive."

"Do you understand now?" Huangfu Li took a few short breaths and said angrily, "People in Xiliang can't just care about themselves and disregard the big man. How long can Xiliang survive alone when the big man is overthrown? Xiliang is 30 How many other people can survive the raging flames of war? Xiliang people live a hard life in western Xinjiang, but when they arrive in Guanzhong, they are likely to live even harder and die faster."

"As for saying that the Xiliang army will continue to guard the western border after the Xiliang people migrate, this is a joke. How do they defend? Eat grass or mud? The Qiang people have their own tribe and their own livestock. What about them? Their homeland has already moved to Guanzhong, and their grain is one or two thousand miles away from the frontier, even if it is transported to the frontier, how much will be left? How do you ask them to guard it? Who is willing to guard it?"

"Brother Wen Yue is getting old and timid. He has lost the vigor he had in the past. Now he only has the survival of the Xiliang army in his mind, and only the survival of more than 30 Xiliang people. Only the survival of the big men, no The survival of tens of millions of people in the big man." Huangfu Li hit the table with a fist, "Go back and tell Han Wenyue that if he insists on being an enemy of the imperial court, we would rather kill him than let him ruin Xijiang .”

Zhang Ming sat weakly on the mat, his mind was in chaos.He was totally confused and didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

Why are Xiliang people so miserable?Why can't even survival be guaranteed?Why is it so difficult to even live?Why?

When Han Sui and the civil and military officials from Xiliang saw Zhang Ming staggering into the lobby, they all looked sad and indignant.

In the past few years, Hebei has been busy conquering the Central Plains and pacifying the world, and has no ability to take care of the Western Xinjiang. However, they firmly refuse to let the Xiqiang people move into Guanzhong. At the same time, they want to take away Guanzhong and the last hope of the Xiliang people.

The Xiliang people were driven to a desperate situation.If you don't fight, you will return to the western border, and you will die.Fighting, defeating and returning to Xijiang is also a dead end.If you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, you will die. In the end, there is only one hope left, and that is to win the battle, firmly occupy Guanzhong, and hold the power of survival tightly in your own hands.

"What if Li Hong brings his iron cavalry to kill him? What if he goes madly into Guanzhong for revenge?" This is the biggest worry of Xiliang officials.No one has the confidence to beat Li Hong.

"After killing the Hebei frontier army, there are two possibilities." Han Sui said calmly, "First, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Li Hong had no choice but to agree to our conditions and concentrate his efforts to capture Luoyang. Second, in order to drive us back, Li Hong Xijiang, temporarily give up attacking Luoyang, and concentrate all forces to capture Guanzhong."

"If your lords were Li Hong, what would be the best choice for Hebei?"

All the big officials in Xiliang knew the result.In order to ensure that the northern border army will completely capture the Central Plains, so as to firmly occupy the advantage of calming the world, Li Hong can only choose the first method, taking Luoyang.If Li Hong adopts the second method, he is very likely to lose all the land south of the Yellow River while occupying Guanzhong. In the end, he can only retreat to the north of the Yellow River, and is forced to accept the unfavorable situation of facing each other across the river and standing on three feet.

"Now, do you have any comments, my lords?" Han Sui asked lightly.

"Fight it." Yang Qiu suddenly drew his knife in his hand, chopped it off with one knife, and the case was almost interrupted, "Fight it."

At the end of May, Yuan Shaoshu told Han Sui that he agreed with Han Sui's attack strategy, and hurriedly dispatched [-] troops including Gao Gan and Xin Pi to join the battle in Guanzhong, and ordered Duan Yan to lead the army to contain part of the northern border army in the direction of Kansai.

Han Sui immediately met with Huangfu Li, agreed to Hebei's request, and let the Northeast Frontier Army of Hebei cross the river and enter Guanzhong, preparing to jointly attack Luoyang.

Huangfu Li hurried back to Hedong with Han Sui's memorial.

The right chariot general and Taiwei Xu Rong urgently ordered the right general Yang Feng to immediately command the army to cross the river in batches, station troops at the Qingge Ferry in Xiagui (gui) City in Fengyi County, and set up a boat bridge to prepare for entering the south bank of the Weishui River.

Hua Xiong and He Feng crossed the river first with [-] vanguard troops.

"After you arrive at Xiagui, Yang Hua's large boats will deliver food, grass and military equipment through the waterway." Standing on the embankment, Yang Feng pointed to the warships sailing away on the river and said, "Don't worry about the bridge. Stand still and wait for my order."

"After seeing Mr. Wen Yue, what should I say?" Hua Xiong asked, "How many troops have we entered Guanzhong?"

"15." Yang Feng waved his hand, "Tell him that we will have 15 troops entering Guanzhong one after another."

Hua Xiong and He Feng looked at Yang Feng in surprise.

"My lord, this will scare Han Sui away." He Feng asked suspiciously, "Why did your lord say so much?"

"Will he run?" Yang Feng shook his head, "I want to force him to act earlier. If Han Sui is ready, this battle will be difficult to fight. Our losses will be great, and there will be very few Xiliang people left."

"My lord wants to surround Mr. Wen Yue in Chang'an?" Hua Xiong asked.

"I have this idea." Yang Feng said, "I will discuss it with the Taiwei after he arrives at Hedong. Since the Xiliang people don't want to go back, I have no choice but to find a way to drive them back."

"It's good to say more, maybe it will make Mr. Wenyue change his mind." Hua Xiong sighed, "If Mr. Wenyue is willing to join forces with us, it will be of great benefit to Guanzhong and Xiliang."

"After you go, persuade him more, and hope he can change his mind." Yang Feng said, "Master Taiwei said in his letter that he would make an appointment to meet Han Sui in person. Whether or not to fight the battle in Guanzhong, After all, there are people guarding the western frontier, so it cannot be left to the Qiang people in vain."

"When will General Qu Yi arrive?" He Feng asked suddenly.

"Master Qu took the way beyond the Great Wall and rushed to Xiaoguan day and night. He will lead an army of iron cavalry down from the direction of Liupan Mountain and kill Chang'an directly." Yang Feng laughed, "This time, we will compete with him. , Let’s see who gets to Chang’an City first.”

General Pang De of Zhengxi received an urgent order from Taiwei Xu Rong, and immediately led his army back to Anding, and went to Chaona City to join General Yan Rou's iron cavalry army.

"Why, you won't fight Jincheng anymore?" Tie Yue asked strangely.

Pound shook his head, and handed Xu Rong's letter to him, "Master Taiwei said, leave Xiliang to Mr. Wen Yue, and we don't want us to fight."

"Don't fight Xiliang?" Lei Zi hesitated. "If we don't fight Xiliang, we will have a decisive battle with the Xiliang army in Guanzhong. Han Sui managed to occupy Guanzhong. It is not easy to force him back."

"Your Majesty Taiwei is right." Tie Yue glanced at the letter hastily, then handed it to Lei Zi, "We have crossed the Yellow River, the supply of food and grass for tens of thousands of troops is a big problem, and it is safer to fight Han Sui in Guanzhong .”

"Mr. Wen Yue is very likely to retreat without a fight in order to preserve his strength." Pound laughed, "It may be very easy to pass the level this time."

"You have taken advantage of everything." Lei Zi laughed, "Who will stay? The Qiang cavalry roam around Wuwei City, threatening Jincheng at all times. There must be no army here."

"Let the Xianling King Kuangfengsha stay behind, and the rest of them will return to the court in a hurry."

In June, Xiaoguan, Anding County, Xiliang.

Wei Jun looked at Liu Ming who came in a hurry, and asked very dissatisfied: "Why are you here now? Where is the Great Chanyu?"

"Am I late?" Liu Ming looked at Yan Rou, bowed and said, "After I received the letter from Lord Taiwei, I didn't stop at all. I brought the army hundreds of miles a day, so I shouldn't waste time."

Yan Rou smiled, "Hu Zi marched too fast, so he came early. Where's the Great Chanyu?"

"Da Chanyu has a lot of troops, and it will take longer to assemble. It is estimated that we can arrive there in four days." Liu Ming looked at Huzi and said with a smile, "Should we cross Liupan Mountain immediately?"

"We'll leave after Da Shanyu arrives." Yan Rou looked up at the sky, smiled and waved to Liu Ming, "Let's go, I'll catch you."

Sima Yi perched on top of the city tower, playing the piano and singing.

Suddenly, Yiqi Juechen came and shot into the city gate like flying.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Sima Yi turned his head to look at Wei Yan, who was leaning against the city wall with his eyes closed, and smiled slightly, "It's finally here..."
