The smoke and dust raised by six thousand war horses quickly obscured the sight of everyone on the city wall.

The war spears that Zhang Yuan needed had been transported by the collected minmen to Pinyang City, where Zhang Yuan and the others were the first to be stationed tonight.

What needs to be done now is to rush to Chiyang City as fast as possible to transfer troops.

After leaving Chang'an City, Zhang Yuan took out the tiger talisman from the officials of General Wei's Mansion and put it in his arms.

This time, Zhang Yuan is not a general, but a commander. When he arrived on the battlefield, he was going to distribute tiger talismans to the generals below, and of course he couldn't lose it now.

"Xue Ren!"

"General."

"How far is it from Chiyang City?"

"General, it should be here in half an hour."

Zhang Yuan was riding on the horse and kept looking at the map in his hand.

The delay in Jianzhang Palace just now was indeed a long time, and the ceremony that was carried out in the original Chen had to be delayed until the time according to the etiquette system.

This is a plain delay of an hour, Zhang Yuan was already in a hurry, this march did not bring tents at all, if they could not arrive in Pinyang City before nightfall, today's soldiers would have to shorten the rest time overnight.

"You take General Ben's Tiger Talisman to Chiyang City to transfer troops, and take a small team of men and horses to move forward quickly, so that they can set off immediately and rush to Pinyang City."

Zhang Yuan thought about it, the speed of the team could not be improved, it was better to let a small team of people and horses transfer troops to issue orders, and then the large army turned around and went directly to Pinyang City.

"The last general will obey orders."

After Xue Ren led a small group of men and horses to leave, Zhang Yuan turned around and asked the officers around him to give orders.

I looked at the directions on the map and turned to the direction of Pinyang City.

The team behind them also changed directions.

This saved time, but it made the soldiers in Chiyang City wait in vain.

Zhang Yuan originally wanted to learn from Liu Che's appearance to boost the morale of the army, but now he can only give up.

Because of this change of route to the descending army, the Qimen Army and the Yulin Army rushed to Pinyang City with the tail of the sun pressed.

The barracks for 56,000 people had been set up, and the spears were distributed among the battalions.

It's just that there is no trace of the 50,000 cavalry so far.

"Li Jian, send a team of 100 scouts to the direction of Chiyang City and see how long it will take for them to arrive.

The rest of the soldiers made a fire to cook, and it was strictly forbidden to have idle people around the barracks, and it was also forbidden for the soldiers to enter Pinyang City, and we only rested here for one night and set off before tomorrow. ”

"Well, the last general will go down and command them."

Because he was still in the realm of internal history, Zhang Yuan did not raise his vigilance too high, nor did he let people keep vigil.

If someone is attacked here, then what will you do to fight the Huns in the northern Xinjiang, just stay in your own house and clean up the chaos first.

The army of 50,000 cavalry waited for half an hour after dark to reach the camp.

Zhang Yuan didn't have the mood to boost their morale, and they didn't have the heart to listen to Zhang Yuan's speech again.

Let them eat early, and then rest.

Although Zhang Yuan did not arrange troops to keep vigil, the county order of Pinyang City was always worried.

He originally wanted to see Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan refused, so he had no choice but to let the county soldiers of Pinyang City stand at the head of the city and watch the movements of the military camp. fate

In this way, under the protection of hundreds of county soldiers, more than 50,000 Han iron cavalry survived the first night after the expedition.

The next stop is Yinshan City in Xihe County, although this Yinshan City is called Yinshan, it is not in the Yinshan Mountain Range.

Zhang Yuan set a very hurried distance, and his plan was to arrive at the surrendered city within six days, not the seven days promised to Liu Che.

Although it will take a long time for King Hun Tu and the army of King Hun to support the military ministers, the place designed by Zhang Yuan to block the Xiongnu reinforcements is not far from the gathering place of King Hun and King Hun Tu.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan had to compress all the time as much as possible and arrive at the designed blocking location before the departure of the Xiongnu reinforcements.

Today, even though each cavalryman dragged three spears forward, the decrease in speed was not noticeable.

Before sunset, 56,000 cavalry arrived at Yinshan City in Xihe County.

When the war came, the people stayed at home honestly, and the county magistrate of Yinshan City and Zhang Yuan knew that the battlefield was not within the territory of the Han Dynasty, but they did not deliberately remind the people.

The army still adheres to Zhang Yuan's six-character policy.

Don't go into the city and don't disturb the people.

The food and drink were all sent by the county soldiers, and the next day they left a mess and set off again.

The third stop is Yangzhou Castle in Shangjun.

The fourth stop is Baitu Castle in Upper County.

The fifth stop is Pingding City, the county capital of Xihe County.

The sixth stop is Yiliang Castle in Gohara County.

The seventh stop is the new city of surrender, which stands above the desert.

The route is not straight, but twists and turns on the map.

Zhang Yuan wanted to avoid mountains and rivers as much as possible, and choose an official road that was easy to walk.

Li Jiao, the county guard of Wuyuan County, did not dare to be slacking off when Zhang Yuan crossed the border.

At this time, looking for Zhang Yuan's bad head is equivalent to sending the Li family in Longxi to the edge of the cliff.

Li Guang is just unemployed at home, and there are not too many examples of Han being unemployed at home and then being reinstated.

At the beginning, Li Jiao just resented Zhang Yuan's sentence that he would be the enemy of the Li family in Longxi for the rest of his life.

By the time Zhang Yuan arrived at the surrendered city smoothly, it was already the seventh day of departure.

One more day than the plan in his heart, there was originally no station in Wuyuan County, Zhang Yuan planned to go over directly, but there were not only Yin Mountains but also rivers in the Hetao area, and the long-term rain made this area very wet and muddy, which delayed the speed of the march.

But fortunately, it was arrived at the specified time.

Originally, the 5,000 foot soldiers who surrendered to the city have all been under the jurisdiction of Gongsun He, this city was originally established to resist the southern invasion of the Huns, there was no one in the city, and the empty city was full of all kinds of military supplies and grain and grass.

In order to ensure speed, these materials were all made up by several nearby border counties, and it would be good to send the materials to several border counties over there in Chang'an City.

After Zhang Yuan entered the city, he naturally became the first coach of the surrendered city.

The Captain's Mansion in the city became the temporary office location of General Zhang Yuanwei's Mansion.

After a group of officials from the Wei General's Mansion entered the city, all the maps and materials were placed neatly, and most of the officials counted the grain and grass that the army needed to carry in the city.

This is the role of these officials on this trip, and the next news docking with Gongsun He, the two sides can reach an exchange of knowledge, and these people are needed to operate in the surrendered city.

At that time, there will be two generals' mansions in the surrendered city, nominally not under the jurisdiction of each other, but in fact, when Zhang Yuan and Gongsun He disagree, they must listen to Gongsun He.

Zhang Yuan, several chief generals and several captains all entered the captain's mansion to discuss what to do next.
