The soldiers of the Xiliang Army all knew in their hearts that it was impossible for a soldier wearing heavy armor to outrun a soldier wearing light leather armor.

So the best way to deal with hoplites is to run away, run as fast as you can.

finally had a chance to escape, and all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were eager to have two more legs.

Not to mention whether you can escape, as long as you can outrun other soldiers.

As for the comrade-in-arms, let's live first.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army, under the leadership of Li Dao and other generals, ran to a place called Shanxuangang more than 20 miles away in one go, and it was estimated that the heavy infantry could not catch up, so they stopped.

Li Dao made an inventory of the remaining number of the current Xiliang army, and his heart was full of grief.

When he came, he was full of spirits and a mighty army of 30,000 Xiliang; Now there are only more than 8,000 people left, although there are still soldiers coming towards Shanxuangang one after another, but it is estimated that the total number of remaining soldiers is definitely not more than 12,000.

After all, those who run fast have followed, and those who have run slower can only hope that they have followed.

Li Wei roughly calculated, the casualty rate was as high as three-fifths, it was a big defeat, and he only blamed himself for being too light on the enemy.

Just when Li Dao and the others wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, a team of more than 1,000 people suddenly came out from the rear of Shanxuangang, led by Pan Feng, the general of the Fenwu Army who showed his strength in Pingfeng Valley and held a hundred catties of mountain axes.

Before Pan Fengren arrived, the loud voice arrived first: "I've been waiting for you here for a long time, quickly get off your horse and surrender, or hand over your heads." ”

It turned out that before the battle, Xu Shu pinched his fingers according to the terrain and calculated the place where Li Dao and the others stopped, so he asked Pan Feng to lead the Tianlong Guards at the exit of Pingfeng Valley to ambush here in advance.

Waiting for work, preparing to fight the Xiliang army by surprise.

When the soldiers of the Xiliang Army saw the Tianlong Guards who suddenly appeared, they were like frightened birds, and in addition to shock, they were shocked, where was there still a fighting spirit.

Before waiting for the order of Li Dao and the others, he ran away.

Pan Feng led the soldiers of the Tianlong Guard to pursue the victory and drove the Xiliang army out of Yingchuan County, killing more than 3,000 people of the Xiliang army and capturing more than 1,000 people along the way.

......

The victory of the Fenwu Army in Pingfeng Valley was like a spring breeze, blowing into the major families of Yingchuan County.

Yingchuan County in Yuzhou is the largest family gathering place in the world.

The most famous are the Zhong, Xun, Chen, and Han families.

In addition, there are countless small families such as Xin, Guo, Xu, and Du.

The establishment of the four famous clans of the Zhong family, the Xun family, the Chen family, and the Han family is mainly due to the merits of their elders, the 'Yingchuan Four Chiefs'.

The four chiefs of Yingchuan are talking about Zhong Hao, Xun Shu, Han Shao, and Chen Yu.

At the time of these four people, although their official positions were not high, they were famous for their noble conduct, integrity, and good governance.

When these four resigned and returned to their families in Yingchuan County, they made a strong foundation for the development of the family.

These four major families did not indulge in recklessness because they had the four of them, but silently accumulated strength, cultivated their children, and secretly developed, so that they became bigger and bigger, and became the four famous families in Yingchuan County.

The Xun family, claiming to be the descendants of the Warring States thinker Xunzi, mainly lived in Yingyin County, Yingchuan County.

Since Xun Shu, the Xun family has produced many talents.

Xun Shu's eight sons: Xun Jian, Xun Sui, Xun Jing, Xun Tao, Xun Wang, Xun Shuang, Xun Su, Xun Yang, all of them are talented and are known as 'Xun's Eight Dragons'.

Among them, the sixth dragon - Xun Shuang, there is a comment on "Xun's Eight Dragons, Ciming is unparalleled".

When Dong Zhuo was in power, he forcibly recruited Xun Shuang as an official, and because of Xun Shuang's outstanding talent, he was promoted to the position of Sikong only ninety-three days later.

Xun Shuang saw that Dong Zhuo was very brutal and the country would definitely perish in his hands, so he secretly plotted with Situ Wang Yun and He Hao and others to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but unfortunately died in May of the same year due to illness, and failed to leave a strong mark in history.

After Xun Shuang's death, the position of the head of the Xun family passed to the eighth dragon, Xun Yang.

Xun Yang, whose name is Youci, is the youngest son of Xun Shu, and was appointed as Situ Peng by the imperial court when he was young.

After the year passed, he resigned and went home, and after Xun Shuang died, he became the new head of the Xun family.

Xun Yang took over as the head of the Xun family, not because he was obsessed with power, but because of the Xun family's regulations: the head of the family must be from a court official.

Because as an official of the imperial court, he will inevitably deeply feel the intrigue in the imperial court, and after some ups and downs, his heart will be stronger, which is more conducive to grasping the situation, which is conducive to the development of the Xun family.

At this moment, Xun Yang, the contemporary head of the family, is thinking about the matter of the Fenwu Army in his study.

With a strength of 7,000, the Fenwu Army defeated the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army, which gave Xun Yang a deep shock.

An army that can win more with less will surely be praised by the world, and if nothing else, it will surely achieve great things.

Xun Yang thought for an hour, only to hear him shout to the subordinate at the door: "Let Xun Yan come to see me." ”

Xun Yan, the word Xiuruo, the brother of Xun Yu, one of the 'Xun family three ruo'.

When the Xun family arrives in this generation, most of them are the descendants of the 'Xun Eight Dragons', which can be described as full of talents.

Xun Yan can stand out from many Xun family disciples, and together with Xun Yu and Xun Chen, he is called 'Xun Family Sanruo', which is enough to see Xun Yan's ability.

After a while, Xun Yan arrived outside Xun Yang's study.

Xun Yan knew that his uncle Xun Yang was strict and paid attention to etiquette, so he shouted respectfully into the study: "Nephew Xiuruo, ask to see the head of the family." ”

I only heard a confident voice coming from the study: "The door is not closed, come in!" ”

After Xun Yan entered the study, Xun Yang pointed to the chair on the side and said, "It's all my own family, you're welcome, sit down first." ”

Xun Yanxian said respectfully: "Master Xie." Then he dared to sit down on the chair carefully.

After Xun Yang saw Xun Yan sit down, he said, "Do you know what I called you here for?" ”

Xun Yan replied on thin ice: "Isn't it for the Fenwu Army outside Yangzhai County?" ”

Xun Yang looked at Xun Yan, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "Not bad, it's really good to think of this so quickly."

Compared with Xun Yu and Xun Chen, there is still a big gap between your talent.

When you were made one of the 'Xun Family Three Ruo', everyone in the family complained about it.

But today you make me feel that the 'Xun family Sanruo' is worthy of its name for you. ”

Although Xun Yang pointed out that Xun Yan's talent is not as good as Xun Yu, Xun Yan is not dissatisfied with this, because Xun Yu's talent is indeed very high, which makes people have to admire.

Xun Yu, just like the students who are now admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, they are capable, and you can't admire them.

I saw Xun Yan reply respectfully: "Xie family master praises." ”

Seeing Xun Yan's attitude, Xun Yang was even more satisfied with Xun Yan, so he said bluntly: "Hugh Ruo, I won't go around in circles with you anymore."

I think you should also be able to see that the strength of the Han Dynasty has been exhausted, and the disciples of my Xun family have made suggestions and governed the place, but none of them have the posture of a hero, so they must find a master to take refuge.

Your eldest brother Xun Chen obeyed the family's order, and now he is by Yuan Shao's side in Jizhou, and he is quite important;

Your younger brother Xun Yu also obeyed the family's orders, and now he is by Cao Cao's side in Yanzhou, and he is also thriving;

But the family has no arrangement for you, so you stay in the family all the time.

This is not a contempt for you, but because in the entire north, only Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can be dominant.

The family must show the utmost sincerity, I hope you can understand.

However, Han Cheng of Bingzhou has sprung up in recent years, and I vaguely feel that this son must not be a thing in the pool, and it will inevitably soar into the sky.

After some careful consideration, I feel that at this time in the family, only you are the most suitable to defect to Han Cheng.

I'm 'Xun Family Sanruo', and no one is weak.

So after you go back now, pack up your things immediately, and I will send someone to send you outside Yangzhai County, and you can go to Han Cheng in Bingzhou according to the family's arrangement.

In this way, no matter whether Cao Cao occupies the north in the end, or Yuan Shao occupies the north, even if Han Cheng occupies the north, our Xun family will have a way to live. ”

After Xun Yan listened to Xun Yang's words, he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Xun Yang's eyes were old and spicy, and he could see Xun Yan's appearance at a glance and understand the hesitation in Xun Yan's heart.

I only heard Xun Yang's cold voice: "What? Are you not satisfied with this arrangement of the family? ”

Xun Yang has been an official for many years, and he has a bad smell on his body, coupled with this cold tone, Xun Yan can't bear it for a while.

I only heard Xun Yan trembling and replied: "The head of the family, my nephew is very satisfied with the family's arrangement, but I have some doubts in my heart, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

After listening to Xun Yan's words, Xun Yang said softly: "You are also going out to be an official for the first time, and this cautious attitude is very good.

If you have any questions, just speak up first, let me hear them, and give you my opinion.

A few years before you arrived at Han Cheng, you could do the same.

If time permits, if you are not in a hurry, you can write back and let me give you ideas and directions.

If I had been able to get the guidance of my family when I was an official, my achievements would have been limitless. ”

In the end, Xun Yang's voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't know whether he was saying it to Xun Yan or to himself.

Xun Yan still looked so respectful, and said: "My nephew's puzzlement is: among the forces in the entire north, there is Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu, who now occupies half of Yanzhou, why would the family choose Han Cheng in the state?" ”

After Xun Yang listened, he immediately replied: "Liu Bei of Xuzhou is acting like a hero.

But to the north of Xuzhou is Qingzhou, which now belongs to Yuan Shao; To the west are Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which belong to Cao Cao; To the south is Yangzhou, which belongs to Yuan Shu; To the east is the endless sea.

Whether it is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or even Yuan Shu, they all have powerful forces, which is not something that Liu Bei can consider now.

There is no possibility of development in a state, I don't know why I want to arrange for people from my family to defect to him?

Besides, Cao Cao was eyeing Xuzhou, Liu Bei picked Cao Cao's fruit, how could Cao Cao let him go?

Will Liu Bei be Cao Cao's opponent?

And Lu Bu, in terms of martial arts alone, no one in the world is the best, but at most he is just a brave horseman.

Although he was assisted by Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others, he definitely couldn't do it, because his opponent Cao Cao had Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others.

On the other hand, Han Cheng occupies a state that merges the state.

After several years of development, Bingzhou is no longer the vast and sparsely populated desolate place it used to be.

The ethnic minorities in the north of Bingzhou have settled down a lot after a series of wars; To the west, there is the Yellow River, which blocks the invasion of the Qiang people; To the south are Sizhou's Xiliang remnants, Li Dao and Guo Yan and others; Only Yuan Shao in the east will compete with him.

Although Yuan Shao occupied the land of Sanzhou and was strong and strong, under the attack of Cao Cao of Yanzhou and Han Cheng of Bingzhou, the outcome was unpredictable.

This is also the reason why you defected to Han Cheng. ”

After Xun Yan listened to Xun Yang's words, he suddenly realized and said: "The head of the Xie family pointed out, the nephew understood, and the nephew left immediately after he went back." ”

Xun Yang said in an encouraging tone: "You work hard, your talent is not weaker than Xun Yu and Xun Chen." ”

Xun Yan's heart is more confident in himself.

At the same time, in the Chen Mansion in Xuchang County, Yingchuan County, and the Zhong Mansion in Changshe County, Yingchuan County, the current head of the family is having a conversation with an outstanding child of the family with similar meanings.

A day later, like Xun Yan, Zhong Yan in the Zhong family and Chen Song in the Chen family were also on their way to Yangzhai County.
