In August 185, the imperial court appointed Sikong Zhang Wen as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and Yuan Peng, the executive of Jinwu, as the deputy marshal. Dong Zhuo was appointed as the general of the Broken Captives, and Zhou Shen was appointed as the general of Dangkou, both of whom were under the command of Zhang Wen.

The imperial court recruited more than 100,000 foot cavalry from all over the country and handed them over to Zhang Wen's command.

Zhang Wen led the army to join forces with Dong Zhuo's army in Xianyang, and then marched westward.

Wang Guo and Han Sui saw that the Han army was strong, so they led the army to evacuate the Huaili and Maoling areas, and stationed the army on the front line of Meiyang and Wugong.

The officials of Huaili and Maoling, as well as Ma Teng's family, were also forced to follow the rebels and leave Maoling City together.

Zhang Wen, Yuan Peng, Dong Zhuo, and Zhou Shen saw that the Han soldiers were numerous, and they had the intention of underestimating the enemy in their hearts.

After that, there was once again a stalemate between the Han army and the rebel army.

Wang Guo and Han Sui also knew that Zhang Wen's army was in the east of him, and Li Mu's army was in his west. The result of holding each other is definitely not conducive to oneself, and you can only break through to the south or north.

To the south, it is the area of Hanzhong, with complex terrain and rugged mountain roads, which is not conducive to cavalry combat. To the north, it is Anding County of Liangzhou, the terrain is flat, which is conducive to cavalry battles and easy to escape.

In mid-October, the Kansai rebels ran out of food and grass and began to move north into Anding-gun.

Zhang Wen learned of the rebels' flight north, and ordered Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong and others to pursue the rebels by separate routes.

Dong Zhuo, Zhou Shen, Bao Hong and others caught up with the rebels in the areas of Quail, Yinpan, Linjing, and Pengyang in Anding County, Liangzhou, and won three battles and three victories, beheaded more than 15,000 ranks, and captured more than 8,000 horses.

Zhang Wen, the general of the chariot cavalry, ordered the Han army to stop chasing the rebels. Zhang Wen also sent Dong Zhuo and Bao Hong to recover the areas of Yongxian, Chencang, Huangxian, and Yuel.

……

However, he said that Li Mu waited from July to August, waiting for the news that the imperial court would send troops again.

Li Mu sent a large number of scouts to find out the news of the rebels and the Han army of the imperial court. Finally, at the beginning of October, I found out that the rebels were going north to Anding County.

In mid-October, Li Mu ordered Wulan, Hudu Town to guard the street pavilion, Ayang, and Longxian; Ling Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Jiang Wei led 10,000 fine horses out of the street pavilion, and went east to the right to support Fenghuang County and Yu Elk.

Li Mu personally commanded Long Xiang and 5,000 light horsemen out of Shangqi, marched east along the Wei River, all the way like a bamboo, until the right Fufeng Chen Cang did not stop the army. Li Mu moved to the Chencang area, and more than 20,000 people returned to Shangtai.

At the end of October, Li Mu and Zhao Yun's two detachments returned to Hanyang County.

This time the expedition was right-winged, and the Han army suffered more than 1,000 casualties; nearly 40,000 people were relocated; beheaded more than 20,000 rebels; More than 10,000 horses were seized, and copper coins and ordnance were not counted.

Li Mu and Zhao Yun left Dong Zhuojun with only a few empty cities and hundreds of miles of borderless land.

After Li Mu led the army back to Shangqi City, he resettled the people and sent scouts to find out the whereabouts of the rebels in Guanxi.

Three days later, the Malay newspaper reported that the Guanxi rebels had fled to the north of Anding County, Liangzhou, and were preparing to cross the Yellow River and enter Wuwei County, Liangzhou.

Li Mu was about to send someone to pass Xu Shu to come to discuss the matter, and Xu Shu came to the mansion first.

"Yuan Zhi, I guess you also know the news that the Guanxi rebels are preparing to cross the river and enter Wuwei County, right?"

Li Mulang said.

"My lord, looking directly at the Yuan, after the rebels cross the Yellow River, I am afraid that they will enter the three counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang along the Hexi Corridor."

"If the rebels capture these three counties, there will be food and grass supplies, and the disaster will not be small!"

"Our army must rush ahead of the rebels and capture Guzang, Cangsong, Pu Qi, and Jici in Wuwei County. Please also ask the lord to send troops early to exterminate the traitors! ”

Xu Shu nodded and groaned.

"What the military advisor said is very true, this time to pursue and suppress the rebels in Kansai, our army only uses cavalry."

"Herald Hu Du Town Shoujie Pavilion, Longxian; Ordered Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei, and Wu Lan to set off immediately with 10,000 fine horses, day and night, to capture Guzang, Cangsong, Pu Qi, and Wuwei County, and there must be no mistake! ”

Li Mu said in a deep voice.

The herald received Li Mu's general order, turned around and went out of the door, heading towards Longxian and Jieting Pegasus.

Subsequently, Li Mu ordered Zhang Wei to guard Shangqi, transferred Lei Tong from Jicheng to Longxian, and assisted Hu Du in defending Jieting and Longxian.

Li Mu also ordered Zhang Ji to be transferred to Jicheng to deal with the civil and political affairs of Hanyang County.

Li Mu saw that all the affairs of Hanyang County had been arranged, so he and Xu Shu, Dian Wei, and Fu Yi led Long Xiang cavalry and 5,000 fine cavalry, went out of Shangtai City, crossed the Wei River to the north, and marched towards Wuwei County.

……

However, it was said that the Guanxi rebels of the Kingdom and Han Sui were at the crossing of the Yellow River in the north of Anding County at this time, and they were stagnant.

The kingdom wanted to lead its army east into Beidi County, and then flee north to the Bank of China, and then escape from Guanwai.

Han Sui wanted to lead his army west into the four counties of Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and Dunhuang.

Just when Wang Guo and Han Sui were at a standstill, Ma Teng spoke out to support Han Sui's decision. The kingdom had no choice but to follow Han Sui's advice.

It turned out that Ma Teng thought that Li Mu would definitely send troops to pursue the rebels. If the rebels could stay in the four counties of Hexi, then Li Mu would definitely catch up.

Once Li Mu exterminated the rebels, he could also take a few children to Li Mu.

Besides, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others received Li Mu's general order, and in only a quarter of an hour, they gathered 10,000 elite horsemen, left Longxian County, and marched towards Wuwei County with their horses and whips.

The Han army worked non-stop, day and night, and finally arrived at the front line of Guzang, Cangsong, Pu Qi, and Zhuci in Wuwei County at dusk two days later.

On the one hand, Zhao Yun appeared on the list of Anmin, and on the other hand, he inquired about the news of the rebels in Kansai. On the night when Zhao Yun and his party arrived in Wuwei County, Li Mu's 10,000 iron horsemen also came to Wuwei County.

Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Jiang Wei, and Wu Lan personally went out of the city and welcomed Li Mu and his party into the mansion, and everyone sat down.

"Second brother, can you have any news about the Western Rebels?"

Li Mu looked around and said loudly.

"Big brother, according to the Malay report, the number of rebels in Kansai is about 40,000, and they are still a hundred miles away from Puqi County."

Zhao Yunlang replied.

"Park is facing Pingchuan in the east, and it is not easy to ambush the Kansai rebels!"

Li Mu nodded and groaned.

"Lord, since there is no danger to defend in the east of Pu Qi, tomorrow, you can let the army go out of Pu Qi thirty miles east of Pu Qi and set up camp. As long as Pak Sao is in the hands of our army, the rebels will not be able to cross Wuwei County. ”

"Besides, the rebels are short of food and grass, and they dare not hold it for a long time, and when the rebels run out of food, our army will wave their troops to cover up and kill, and they will be able to win a big victory."

Xu Shu replied loudly.

"What the military advisor said is reasonable, tomorrow, the army will leave Pu Qi City, set up camp, and wait for the rebels in Kansai!"

Everyone nodded in goodness!

Nothing was said all night.

At the end of the next day, the army went out of the east gate of Pu Qi City, and marched thirty miles eastward.

Li Mu received a report from Tanmalai that the rebels in Guanxi had set up camp thirty miles to the east.

Li Mu ordered the Han army to bury the pot and cook, and sent troops from time to time to attack the rebels.
