Not only were the 60,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Hanoi set up, but Zhang Yan's messenger soldiers went straight to Jizhou Montenegro from Hanoi to inform Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Yu Poison, Guo Daxian, Zhang Baiqi, Yang Feng, Yu Yigen and other more than ten captains of Montenegro who stayed in Taihang Mountain to order them to raise a large army to aid Luoyang.

This is the real army.

The monstrous anger drove Zhang Yan to throw the fiercest torch into the center of the division, causing the whole world to burn in the flames of war.

The Montenegrin soldiers who crossed the mountains and crossed the river to burn the city wanted the world to hear their roar and never die!

This is different from the Yellow Turban Uprising in Zhang Jiao's era, and Zhang Yan, who inherited all of Zhang Jiao's uprising ideas, must better understand the rules of the world. On the day of the army, a Montenegrin sergeant spread to all places, stating how Yuan Shao ordered the Montenegrin army to storm the city with the strength of ants, saying that he was cruel and self-contained, and said that Yuan Shao was a heinous bastard.

What's even more dramatic is that Zhang Yan's rumor even echoed the rumor of the old enemy Ma Yue's previous crusade against Yuan Shao, making the defection of the Montenegrin Army a response to Ma Yue's rebellion.

Woe to the east.

……

Long before Ma Yue received the summons from the Montenegrin army, Yuan Shao was furious in Tongguan. Pursuing the Black Mountain Army and detaining the corpse of Zhang Niujiao, this thing was not done by others, it was his henchman Yan Liang.

Yan Liang was narrow by nature, and the rout of the Montenegrin army made him angry, and he did not hesitate to ask for battle at the moment, and in two hours, he drove the cavalry into Tongguan to pursue the Montenegrin army for twenty miles, and blocked the Montenegrin army in the area of Bishan. When Yuan Shao knew that it was too late at this time, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart...... He has no more to blame.

Chun Yuqiong is no longer there, and Yuan Shao has consciously done too many wrong things in this battle. If Yan Liang is at fault, it is also his fault, knowing that Yan Liang is a cautious eye, why should he let him go first?

Stationed in Tongguan, Yuan Shao was already thinking in his heart about how this war should end.

Ma Yue in the west will not be counted like this, but the problem is not big, seeing that the season is in autumn, this war that has been fought for half a year should also be over. It's amazing to recuperate and fight again next year, and now Yuan Shao's main problem is the mud leg of Zhang Yan in Montenegro!

The 60,000 Montenegrin army crossed the Yellow River and headed south, heading straight for the Xuanmen Pass, with great momentum.

Yuan Shaoliu Yan Liang and Tian Feng supervised the army of 5,000 to garrison Tongguan, while he supervised most of the troops to march eastward, and saw Zhang Yan's summons on the way, which made him almost faint.

At this moment, Yuan Shao was really panicked. Zhang Yan wrote clearly on the biography that he was responding to the late auxiliary general Ma Yue to solve the world's upside down, and he was speaking righteous words, as if he Yuan Shao was a thief of the country.

The ancestors of the Yuan family are on top, and Ben Chu An dares to steal the country!

The strategist and old friend Xu Yu next to him offered advice, "Originally, no matter what, since Zhang Yan said that he was responding to Ma Yue, it would be easy to do." The bell must be tied to the bell, King Qin was called by Ma Yue, you and stop fighting with him, see what excuse Zhang Yan has. But if he is not the king of Qin, he has the appeal of the king of Qin? However, you can ask Your Majesty to write an edict by hand, summon the world's soldiers and horses into Beijing to fight the Black Mountain thieves, and drive them back to Jizhou! ”

Yuan Shao has always been lonely, and since Wen Taowu is not lagging behind, he is unwilling to adopt the advice of the strategists. Just as King Ma Yueqin did not use Tian Feng's strategy of fighting a war of attrition this time, he insisted on attacking Weinan with the Montenegrin army. But at this time, he had no other way, and immediately ordered Xu Yu to go to Huayin, where the Liangzhou army was stationed, with a letter, in order to seek reconciliation.

……

The Montenegrin army was defeated and retreated with the death of Zhang Niujiao, and everything in the city of Weinan entered the renovation stage. All the generals are people who have lived in the army for a long time, and the company camp is also quite orderly, with Huayin City as the main formation, respectively, in the southeast and northeast of the city, each set up a village, and surround the city with the momentum of the horn. On the one hand, it supervised and trained the sailors to meet the headquarters of Guan Yu who went north, and on the other hand, it also prevented the enemy from stealing the city by water.

After all, the spies of the Liangzhou army in the Heluo area east of Tongguan couldn't touch it at all, although Cheng Li knew that there was a problem there, but no one in the Liangzhou army knew how big the problem was.

Ma Yue left a small army and horses to recruit the people of the Quartet to cultivate Weinan City, and the road for the Governor Liangzhou Yingling's ashes to be sent back to Liangzhou was smooth, and at the same time, Weinan was used as the intersection to communicate Chang'an and Huayin, and stabilize the livelihood of the three auxiliary people.

He is not just done with the battle, as the winter approaches, the government decree also needs to be revised, exempting from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and preparing food and winter clothes for the people of Sanfu for the winter. He wants to work steadily and steadily, step by step to win the hearts of the people of Sanfu, and truly collect the entire Sanfu in his hands.

Sanfu is much richer than Liangzhou, if you can really win Sanfu...... He can feed Liangzhou back with three auxiliary financial resources.

The strong attack on Tongguan in the east could not be captured, so he had to set up a formation along the Huayin line to defend against the surprise attack of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.

In fact, not only Yuan Shao, but also Ma Yue wanted a truce.

If this battle continues, both sides will be wiped out this winter. After all, no one wants to face the tragic scene of still holding on to the camp the first day, and the soldiers being buried half of their bodies by heavy snow the next day. The war has come to this point, whether it is Montenegro, who is involved in this battle, Yuan Shao, who is passively defensive, or Ma Yue, who is the initiator, none of the three parties is the winner, and all of them are greatly damaged.

The reconstruction of Weinan took more than a month, whether it was the requisition of people to build the city wall or the reconstruction of private houses, each of which consumed a huge amount. Fortunately, Yuan Shao's defeat left a lot of baggage and goods, as well as those left by Sanfu counties, so that Ma Yue could recover without too much effort.

The newly renovated Weinan is more majestic than before, and the well-renovated mansions and courtyards, and the high bounty of the people have made Ma Yue win the hearts of the people in Weinan.

In October, Ma Yue bid farewell to the people of Weinan who had sent him five miles out of the city and went to Huayin. Can't wait any longer, Cheng Li sent a message to tell Ma Yue that there was an envoy from Luoyang who came to negotiate peace.

This matter fell on Ma Yue's heart, and now he negotiated peace, although he failed to capture Tongguan, at least he also gained a firm foothold in Sanfu.

That's enough.

Recuperate for half a year, and next year will call Yuan Shao's head to move!

As soon as Fang arrived in Huayin, the generals ceremoniously received Ma Yue into the city at the West Gate, the morale of the Liangzhou army was high, and the two months of repair made the generals relax physically and mentally, and it was strange to see Ma Yue unhappy.

"Envoy, the envoy from Luoyang has been waiting for half a month, see you?" Jia Xu greeted Ma Yue into the city, and asked in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not suitable to hang it anymore." ”

Ma Yue waved his hand indifferently, nodded and said, "I definitely want to see you, but not now, he has been waiting for half a month, can't he wait for two days?" ”

While speaking, everyone walked to the Huayin County Office, Ma Yue Dama Jindao was on the top one, leaned forward with his elbow on his knees and asked the generals: "Gentlemen, can you trim it comfortably?" ”

Yan Xing arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the lord, take me to wait for a big victory, and my subordinates feel uncomfortable after not doing it for two months." ”

Laughing, a kind of brave and happy leaning forward and backward.

Ma Yue clapped his hands gently, the lobby was quiet repeatedly, he tilted his head and said: "If you have enough repairs, let's prepare, tell me, how many new soldiers have been recruited in the past two months, how many siege equipment have been built, and how sure are you of attacking Tongguan?" ”

All of a sudden, a needle drop could be heard in the hall.

Gan Ning frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Lord, do you want to continue fighting?" ”

"Oh, doesn't Xingba feel the need to fight?" Ma Yue pretended to be surprised and asked, "Tell me why you don't need to fight anymore." ”

"Back to the lord, after half a year of the war, the subordinate Liangzhou sergeants all feel homesick." Although Ma Yue's question made him a little uncomfortable, he still bowed his hand very respectfully and said: "What's more, now that our troops occupy Huayin, Tsukasa Ling Mountain is full of spies, although it is not able to attack Tongguan, it is more than enough to defend it." ”

Ma Yue raised his hand and froze in mid-air, stopping Gan Ning from continuing. Coughing lightly, Ma Yue said: "I didn't see any well-guarded Tomb Lingshan, nor did I see a strict sergeant. ”

"You know what I see? I saw the invincible armoured army unarmoured in the sun, lazily lying and napping in the wheat fields, and I saw my men neglecting their training, and the famous generals of the mighty Sanfu were indifferent and greedy for pleasure. Ma Yue said with a serious face: "I don't know what the war to defend Weinan has made you see, I saw my subordinates die tragically at the head of the city, under the attack of the stone throwing trucks, the wolves rushed to the grave, I saw that because we could not defend the city, the people's mansions were smashed into powder by boulders falling from the sky. If it weren't for the death of Zhang Niujiao and the defeat of the Montenegrin army, what would you do to enjoy yourself here while I build the city? ”

The crowd was scolded by Ma Yue so much that they couldn't raise their heads one by one, and their proud heads and cheeks were red. Yan Xing's smile also froze on his face, and he didn't know how to put it away.

"You fought bravely, you attacked everything, and you were invincible, but the battle of Weinan was actually lost by us." Ma Yue changed his voice and said: "We can't fight this battle, because you also said that the soldiers are homesick, and I am homesick." But we can't let the enemy know that we don't want to fight, and the more we don't want to fight, the more we have to tell the enemy that we want to fight this battle endlessly! ”

"Order, prepare troops and horses, repair the city, build siege equipment, and recruit soldiers!" Ma Yue got up and patted the shoulders of the generals under his command one by one, laughed quietly to cheer them up, and then stood in the hall and said loudly: "There are Yuan Jun spies staring at us every moment, and we must not relax in the last few months." What's more, there is an enemy envoy in the army! Go ahead and tell them with actions that Ma Yue will spend the winter in Tongguan City this year! ”

Speaking of this, the generals realized that Ma Yue wanted to use his actions to create pressure on the envoy in the army.

One by one, the fierce generals of the Liangzhou army suddenly realized at this time.

"Go, tell the court envoy that I want to see him, and all the military marquis and above will participate in the banquet in the city tonight!" Ma Yue waved his hand to drive everyone away, and when the generals walked to the door, he said: "Slow, you tell the generals that no one should buy land in Sanfu, and it is better to sell the existing ones first and distribute them to the people." Later, I will divide the fields and houses for you according to the merits of the war. Go ahead. ”

When Ma Yue sat in the empty hall again, he could only feel incomparable exhaustion in his heart.

There are more and more generals, and there are not a few capable people, but in addition to the satisfaction of being strong and strong, what he feels the most is fatigue. Everyone has their own thoughts and desires. The strength of the Liangzhou army is becoming more and more difficult to use in one place.
