At this moment, the horn sounded, and a reinforcement arrived.

The leader of the leader with a gray complexion shouted as he galloped, "I am the vanguard of Zhang Bei's drive, the leader of the Qiang people, Ye Puzhong, the thieves are rampant!" ”

When the Xinxi Liang Army heard that it was Zhang Ji's reinforcements arriving, they immediately perked up.

After receiving reinforcements, Xu Huang took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack, and Zhang Fang also commanded his troops and horses to go up, killed Yuan's army, and captured many weapons, horses, and banners.

This battle ended in this way, and the Xinxi Liang army narrowly won.

Yuan's army finally lost its troops and lost ground, and the best chance to turn defeat into victory was also ruined by the pig-headed commander who slipped away in advance.

The judge who guarded Huguan learned that the back road had been cut off, and planned to burn down the city of Guanguan, and led the troops to retreat to Wei County lightly.

However, he suddenly got the latest news and was so happy that he almost cried.

"Xiliang thieves are thieves after all, and the world will punish them."

After Xu Huang and Zhang Fang defeated Yan Liangjun, they suggested that Tong Yuan take advantage of the victory to pursue.

At this time, Zhang Ji, Wang Ze, Hu Chuquan and others led their troops south.

Although they couldn't defeat Yan Liang and Zhang He, they had a lot of troops, which could just make up for the weakness of Tong Yuan's side.

Zhang Ji and others all proposed to continue the pursuit, completely expel Yuan's army from Shangdang County, and then refuse to defend Taihang Mountain, condescending to attack at any time.

Tong Yuan was a little distracted, Dong Wei's appearance gave him a lot of help, but the personnel he specially arranged, the content of the feedback exceeded expectations, which made him a little confused.

In terms of the battle situation, the current situation of the enemy and us is obviously favorable to the Xinxi Liang Army.

Although the armies of Yan Liang, Zhang He, and Xin Ping had good combat strength, the retreating road was blocked by the frozen dammed lake, and their commander fled in advance and did not know where to go, so they could indeed take advantage of the victory.

However, Tong Yuan had other ideas.

He asked Xiang Yang Fudao, "What do you think of Yishan whether to pursue or not?" ”

Yang Fu thought slightly, as if he understood what the lord meant. He replied, "To fight or not to fight, it's all about what the lord wants to gain and what he will lose?" ”

Tong Yuan smiled affirmatively and motioned for Yang Fu to continue.

Yang Fu looked at Zhang Ji and the others and analyzed, "Our army continues to attack, but as De Rong said, it can completely occupy Shangdang County and condescendingly deter the enemy. ”

"However, the result of this kind of big battle of self-inflicted losses of 8,000 and annihilation of 10,000 enemies is that our army has to start a decisive battle with Yuan Shao before the results have been digested."

The civil and military generals were all vigilant, they were not afraid of Yuan Shao's army at all, but the Xinxi Liang army traversed three thousand miles from east to west, and a considerable part of the main force was still in the northwest, and a direct decisive battle would definitely not be able to exert its full strength.

Zhang Ji understood instantly after hearing this, and replied, "What Yishan said is very right, now our army has an advantage, but a direct decisive battle with Yuan Shao may allow Cao Cao and Han Sui to take advantage, and it is indeed not a good time." ”

Tong Yuan concluded, "That's exactly the case, sometimes the advantage and initiative are in your hands, and for the enemy, it's like a sword hanging over your head at any time. ”

"And the enemy must also enter Shangdang Lu County and other places, and be prepared to take our sword in the terrain that is not favorable to them."

The generals were deeply amazed, and it turned out that in addition to the battle of charging in formation, as well as ambushing and detouring, there was also this kind of operation.

Among the generals, only Xu Huang has initially comprehended the differences between strategy, campaign, tactics, and battles, as well as their unique meanings and charms.

The more he learned, the more he felt his flaws and inadequacies. Before he met Tong Yuan, he was a little arrogant and complacent, but now he is more composed of an attitude and enterprising ambition.

Tong Yuan discussed with Zhongwenwu for a while, and decided to completely end this battle of Shangdang after capturing Huguan.

It stands to reason that Huguan is good at defense, but no matter what, it can't stop the west and south of Zhenggu and Yang Chou, and there is a new Xiliang army in the east and north, this terrifying situation.

As soon as the army was about to set off, Yu Poison and Pimple, who had explored the direction of Huguan in advance, sent people to report in a hurry, saying that the Shangdang army had defected first, and the southern counties had been taken by the enemy!

Tong Yuan hurriedly asked for details.

It turned out that this Zhenggu used to be the Black Mountain Army, and he had already reached a tacit understanding with Tong Yuan and Yu Poison.

But that Yang Chou is just a grass on the wall, whether it is Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao or Tong Yuan, whoever gives him more benefits, he will support whomever he wants.

In history, he first rebelled and killed Zhang Yang, and then Zhenggu, who reached a cooperation with Yuan Shao, killed Yang Chou.

This time it happened to be the other way around, and Zheng Gu and Tong Yuan reached a cooperation to kill Zhang Yang Toucheng. And Yang Chou killed Zheng Gu again, which can be regarded as avenging himself in another world line

Of course, Yang Chou had some support, so he dared to risk the huge threat of Tong Yuan's army to kill Zhenggu.

However, the new force he has taken refuge in is indeed strong, because he is Cao Cao!

"Lord, this is Chang Lin from Wen County, Hanoi, the word Bohuai." Sima Yi introduced to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was so overjoyed that he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he walked over from the seat to greet him.

Chang Lin was very moved, and immediately stepped forward to meet Cao Cao, and said, "Chang Lin is just a person in the mountains, and it is really difficult to be this gift." ”

Cao Cao glanced at Sima Yi beside him, and sighed, "Sima Zhongda has always praised Mr. as a highly respected person in the county, and this time Mr. has recovered the southern counties of Shangdang without blood, and his character is really better than a million army!" ”

Chang Lin replied, "The lord has won the award, this is mainly because of the money and efforts of the Chen and Feng families, so that Yang Chou knew his way back, fought back, and left Xiliang and Montenegro thieves." ”

Cao Cao heard Xiliang and Montenegro, and asked a little seriously, "Now that the three parties occupy Shangdang County, I am far away from Yuan Bendi, and the Xiliang thief is very strong. I don't know what Mr. does? ”

Chang Lin has lived in Shangdang County for several years, and he has a deep hatred for the chaos in various places.

He said with a slightly heavy heart: "Without the army of justice, there will be no peaceful world, and our army must raise its prestige in order to gain a foothold." ”

Cao Cao, who is short in height, has bright eyes, and the domineering side leakage on his body is not too forced.

He looked at Chang Lin and Sima Yi, and said categorically, "Okay! I will send a young man to command the armies and Yang Chou here, with the assistance of Mr. Lao Changlin, to cover my army to defeat the enemy in the west. ”

"Chang Lin will not fail in his mission."

He turned to look at the young but scheming Sima Yi and said, "Zhongda will follow me first, like this time, use your strategy to help me stabilize the world." ”

"No!"

Sima Yi's eyes flashed a little murderous, Cao Cao's arrangement was to defend the north and attack the west, which was indeed very good. He was worried that Cao Cao would arrange for him to go north and disrupt their plans.

"It's wonderful to be like this now, hahaha" His excitement and joy only stirred in his heart, and there was nothing on the outside.

He is willing to see this situation, and Dahan must also be willing to see it.

In this way, in the end, it is his Sima clan and the Tianxia clan that will benefit.
