Guo Peng took a deep breath and felt that he needed to think carefully.

Because his existence has disturbed the world, Liu Zhang's power, who has never walked out of Shu, has actually changed like this, and I have to say that the trend of the world is becoming more and more interesting.

If Liu Zhang really got the land of Longyou, occupied the world, got the horse-producing land, and could also get the land of Tuntian, then it would really let him solve the situation of the trapped dragon in Xishu.

That's definitely not a good thing for me.

The generals of Liangzhou were scattered, and if Guo Peng wanted to attack, he could use political means to divide them, so that they would have violent internal contradictions and attack each other.

The list is endless.

But Yizhou is different, there is a unified ruler, scattered and unified, there is no doubt that it is easier to deal with dispersion, and it is better to let the generals of Liangzhou win than let the Shu army win.

The lesser of two evils, in this stall that is really not suitable for launching the next war, Guo Peng decided to help the generals of Liangzhou, let them get the news in advance, guard Hanyang County, block the road of the Shu army out of Shu, and seal the Shu army in the mountains.

As long as you can't get out of the mountain, you can't solve the situation of the trapped dragon, and the Shu Kingdom will always be a trapped dragon until death!

Guo Peng immediately sent someone into Liangzhou and told Ma Teng and Han Sui the news.

Tell Ma Teng and Han Sui that Liu Zhang sent troops to invade Liangzhou, with the goal of taking all of Liangzhou and cleaning them up, hoping that they would prepare as soon as possible and defend the two counties of Shuwudu and Hanyang, and not give the Shu army a chance to leave Shu.

This news was quickly sent to Liangzhou by a fast messenger and handed over to Ma Teng and Han Sui, so that Ma Teng and Han Sui could prepare early.

Ma Teng was shocked when he learned first, and immediately told Han Sui the news, and Han Sui looked very bad behind him, and his brows were furrowed.

"Is this true?"

Ma Teng didn't dare to judge casually.

"Will Guo Zifeng deceive us with this kind of thing?"

Han Sui shook his head: "The number of marches is marked, indicating that Guo Zifeng has spied on accurate information, telling us that he does not want the Shu people to get Liangzhou, to prevent the Shu people from becoming bigger and endangering himself, and now he is unable to enter Liangzhou, and he does not want the Shu people to get Liangzhou, so he must choose to unite with us." ”

Ma Teng thought about it and felt that it was right, so he was even more worried.

"Our two armies together are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses, lack of soldiers, food, and baggage, if we really want to fight, we can't even get together 20,000 people of equipment at the moment, can this battle really be fought?"

After the war, Ma Teng and Han Sui made their own statistics and found that their army losses were very serious, and the losses of Chang'an were very large, and soldiers continued to flee on the way back.

After returning to the base area, it is equivalent to going to Guanzhong in vain, and almost all the gains are lost.

Although their alliance was still the strongest force, because of the defeat, they lost some sharp energy and a large amount of baggage food, and they were empty of numbers, and they could not be armed, and the armor, shields, spears, ring-headed knives, bows and crossbows and other war tools were seriously damaged, and it was difficult to replenish them for a while.

There are many separatist warlords in Liangzhou, more than a dozen people, large and small, and the larger ones are Zhang Meng, Li Kan, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and others, not the world of the Ma Teng Han Sui Alliance, the generals of each army are an independent small kingdom, and there are foreign forces.

It's just that when something happens, Ma Teng or Han Sui has the qualifications to become the leader of the alliance.

Right now, it seems, this is the time.

If they couldn't get the help of other Liangzhou warlords, Ma Teng and Han Sui really didn't have full confidence that they could resist the attack of the Shu army.

The tired army that had just been defeated, lacked strength, weapons and equipment, food, and fighting spirit, and such an army could not compete with the victorious Shu army.

So Ma Teng and Han Sui each contacted the warlords who were better with them, asked them for help, stated their interests, and made an appointment to fight against the Shu army together.

These warlords, big and small, are not fools, if the matter is true, of course they will weigh it carefully, if Ma Teng and Han Sui are finished, they will also be finished, when facing foreign enemies, the warlords of Liangzhou are actually both prosperous and loss-oriented.

But is this really true?

They sent people to find out the news.

So the Shu army was marching hard in the mountains, and the warlords of Liangzhou were still wondering whether this matter was true, Ma Tenghan was in a hurry to prepare for the war, and Guo Peng was watching the play.

But this play is not for nothing.

In mid-to-late July, the weather was hot, and on this day, when Guo Peng was personally guiding Guo Jin to handle military affairs, someone came to report that Wei Yan was coming.

Wei Yan.

Guo Peng remembered, before, Guo Peng asked Wei Yan to go back to Zhang Yun to restore his life, and then asked Zhang Yun for someone to see if Zhang Yun gave it.

How could Zhang Yun not give it?

He was worried that there was no good way to tie up with Guo Peng, Guo Peng asked him for someone, and he must have sent Wei Yan out immediately, not only to give away, but also to send a lot of other gifts, and asked Wei Yan to bring them to Guo Peng.

Wei Yan thanked Zhang Yun, came to Runan, met Xiahoudun, and relayed what Guo Peng said to him to Xiahoudun, who nodded and immediately arranged for someone to send Wei Yan to Chang'an.

So Wei Yan came, not only did people come, but also brought some gifts, not only some gifts, but also an important piece of information.

When Liu Zhang went out of the Northern Expedition, although he had some confidence, he was still worried about Guo Peng's strength and worried that Guo Peng would take the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, so he sent a letter to Liu Biao and Sun Ce, asking Liu Biao and Sun Ce to go north to contain Guo Peng according to the content of the covenant.

Previously, the news had been sent to Liu Biao and Sun Ce, and Cai Mao asked Zhang Yun to tell Guo Peng about this matter, so that Guo Peng could prepare as soon as possible, so as not to make a mistake at that time.

The news brought by Wei Yan is that Liu Biao is holding a meeting to discuss this matter, and most people are against it at the moment, Liu Biao seems to be very angry, and it is unknown what the situation is on Sun Ce's side for the time being, but I hope that Guo Peng will still prepare in advance.

"This is the news that Zhang Fujun and Cai Dejun asked you to transfer to me?"

Guo Peng looked at Wei Yan.

Wei Yan nodded.

"Exactly, it's true, Zhang Fujun also instructed the villain, saying that even if the villain only has one breath, he must bring this news."

Guo Peng smiled.

"Zhang Fujun has a heart, I know, but you, Wen Chang, since you have come here, shouldn't you have to go back after delivering the news?"

Wei Yan smiled embarrassedly.

"Wei Gong said before that a good man has ambitions in all directions and should lead the army to fight to pacify the troubled times, and the villain thinks that Wei Gong is too right, so he ...... So dare to ask Duke Wei to take it in! ”

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the young Wei Yan, Guo Peng was very happy, nodded, and accepted Wei Yan.

"I will arrange you to be in the Tiger Guard, you learn more things in the Tiger Guard, make your body stronger, the man can't help but be strong, and then if you are really talented, I will let you lead the troops to fight."

"Thank you Duke Wei for your appreciation!"

Wei Yan was very happy at first, and then a little puzzled: "Duke Wei, the Tiger Guard is ......"

"My personal guard, in charge of keeping me safe."

Guo Peng said with a smile: "It is the most elite army in the whole army, and the soldiers in it are all good at fighting, they are tall and big, they are all tigers, you have to be careful when you go in, the Tiger Guard Army selects people very strictly, you are stuffed in by me, on behalf of my face, don't let me lose face." ”

"Tiger Ben ......"

Wei Yan nodded: "The villain knows, the villain is fighting for his life, and he will definitely not let Wei Gong's face be damaged!" ”

"Don't say anything about fighting for your life or something, this is the army, and I didn't let you go to the battlefield immediately."

Guo Peng waved his hand: "Also, don't be a villain, just call your name." ”

"Yes! Small...... Extend your life! ”

Wei Yan was very excited.
