After staying in Hyunshi County for ten days, the soldiers and horses mobilized from Hedong finally arrived. One thousand cavalry came from Guanzhong under the personal leadership of Peng Lin, but the three thousand infantry were mobilized from Hedong on the spot. As for the emptiness of the troops in Hedong, it was supplemented by the soldiers and horses mobilized in Guanzhong later. In this way, there is no need to let the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong rush to the party like they are tired of running for their lives.

arrived with the foot soldiers, as well as Li Erhei, who was specially transferred by Li Xin, and Lu Guang, a young general who had just returned to Shun. The reason why he was transferred was because Li Xin had some other considerations.

By this time, there were nearly 9,000 Huashan troops entering the Shangdang area. Such a huge force is enough to make any force in the party fearful. And Li Xin, at this time, finally decided to act.

The drums of the generals were sounded, and all the generals and officials rushed to the Chinese military tent to discuss the matter.

"Now that the soldiers and horses are ready, the military resources and grain and grass have been completely replenished. After staying for more than ten days, it's time to act! I just got the news that Zhang Ping sent an army of 5,000 people, led by his adopted son Zhang Oy, to take Wuxiang County, and now he is heading south day and night, wanting to take Changzi County before us, so as to block our way north! After everyone arrived, Li Xin sat down and said.

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but whisper. Because many of them don't even know about it. After all, they couldn't have had as much information as Li Xin did.

"General, Zhang Ping has wolf ambitions, and he has long had the intention of annexing the party. Now that he is sending troops south, he will inevitably plot against the entire Shangdang! Without further ado, we should immediately send troops, take Changzi County first, and then fight with Zhang Ping's soldiers and horses. Xue Zan immediately stood up and suggested.

"The subordinates also have this intention, first take the eldest son county and block the enemy's southward troops! Then, the army marched north and completely expelled Zhang Ping's soldiers and horses from the party! "The right wing also stood up in support.

"Subordinates and others all have this intention!" The rest of the generals said in unison at this time.

In everyone's opinion, this is indeed the most important thing at the moment.

"Well, what the two of you said in the army has a point. Peng Lin, you lead the cavalry to set off immediately, take Changzi County first, and hold it. Li Erhei and Lu Guang, the two of you led 2,000 soldiers and horses, and then rushed to Changzi County as soon as possible. The task of the three of you is to block Zhang Oyster and drag him out of Changzi County! Accomplishing this is a great achievement! Li Xin glanced at everyone, and then ordered.

"The last general obeys!" When Li Erhei heard this, he hurriedly stood up and took the order.

"Yao Chang, Quan Yi, this general will give you a thousand soldiers and horses, and the two of you will lead the army to quickly rush to Shangdang Pass, take down this pass and garrison it, and wait for the follow-up military order~ Thing!" After arranging the affairs of Changzi County, Li Xin looked at the other two again!

"General rest assured, the last general will definitely complete the task!" Yao Chang didn't expect that Li Xin would be relieved to let himself lead the army alone, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stood up and responded.

"Except for the soldiers and horses left behind in Gaodu County and Hyunshi County, the rest of the soldiers and horses will be led north by General Ben and rushed to Changzi County!" In the end, Li Xin stood up and said slowly.

Soon, the Huashan army pulled out its camp from outside the city and marched to the north. Peng Lin set off first, and Li Erhei and Lu Guang, as well as Yao Chang's soldiers and horses, set off together, because there was a distance to go together.

As for Li Xin himself, after arranging the defense of Hyunshi County, he led more than 3,000 troops to slowly move towards Changzi County. At the same time, he is also responsible for escorting the grain and grass materials of the entire army, so this speed is really not fast.

With him were Liao Chuan, Tu Qi, Xue Zan and others, and the army went north along Danshui, and if the road conditions were good, they would be able to arrive in half a day.

"I heard that Xue joined the army, I don't know if I know the origin of the name of this Danshui?" During the march, Li Xin, Xue Zan and others rode on horses, and when they passed through Danshui, Li Xin suddenly asked.

"Could it be that the general is testing his subordinates? If the lower officials are not mistaken, this Danshui comes from the north and stretches for 200 miles. In the old days, it was also called Yuanze water, Hyun water! As far as his subordinates know, the reason why this place is called Danshui is because of the Battle of Changping that year! According to local people, because Wu Anjun fought with Zhao Kuo in the first battle, he killed 400,000 soldiers, so that this water was stained with blood, so it is known as Danshui! When Xue Zan heard this question, he couldn't help but laugh, and then said.

This Danshui is the Dan River in later generations, which originated from Danzhuling in the north of Hyunshi County, so it is also called Danshui. Of course, the origin of the name often has its allusions, and what Xue Zan just said is one of them.

When the Changping War was in the vicinity of the upper reaches of Danshui. Therefore, later people chiseled and associated the name of the river with the war. But who knows if it matters? After all, all these years have passed.

"Hehe, Xue is really knowledgeable when he joins the army! To be honest, I don't quite believe in this legend. But putting this aside, it is enough to prove the importance of this place of the party. Not to mention the Changping War, since ancient times, this place has been a place where wars have been raging and all parties have fought for hegemony! Li Xin glanced at him and said with a smile.

"What the general said is good! The land of Shangdang is located in a key position, and this place controls the main road of the Central Plains in the east of the river. At the same time, the land here is rich and the people are abundant, but it has been abandoned for a long time because of the long-term war! If the general gets it, the education will be great, and after a few years of stability, it will inevitably be rich in things and people, which can be the basis for pacifying the chaos in the Central Plains! Hearing this, Xue Zan couldn't help but nodded.

"As you say, there is a lot to be done here, and now the difference is to get it in your hands! After this battle, the land of Shangdang will be under the rule of our Huashan Army, so that I can win a chance to breathe for several years! Li Xin was silent for a moment, sighed, and then said.

The group chatted and walked, and slowly rushed towards Changzi County. At the same time, Peng Lin's cavalry took the lead and had already rushed outside the eldest son county.

Changzi County is less than 100 miles away from Hyun County, but if you go south from Wuxiang County, the distance is far away. Therefore, when Peng Lin arrived, Zhang Oyster and their shadows were not seen, and it was estimated that they were still halfway at this time.

Hearing that the ground outside the city was shaking, the soldiers and civilians of Changzi County had already been alarmed. Thinking that a large army was coming to attack the city, the city was in chaos for a while, and Hu Zhongkai, the county commander of Changzi County, hurriedly ordered the whole city to be on guard. Then, the whole city was summoned to prepare for the defense of the city.

In fact, due to the recent changes in the situation, this eldest son county has been prepared for a long time. In contrast, because Changzi County is located in a critical place, this county is much taller and wider than other counties.

"My lord, it seems that all the people outside the city are cavalry! With such momentum, I am afraid that there will be no less than five hundred riders! Hu Zhongkai ran to the top of the city and kept looking, only to see a puff of smoke and dust rising from the south. A soldier beside him couldn't help but say at this time.

"How do you know?" Hu Zhongkai glanced at him and said strangely.

"Don't hide it from the adults, the little one used to be a soldier in Hedong before, and I once saw the cavalry of the Huashan Army fighting! You can't go wrong with that momentum! The soldier smiled and replied.

Soon, the puff of smoke and dust had reached the city. A thousand cavalry lined up outside the city, as fast as the wind, but in the blink of an eye, they suddenly stopped under the city. Although there was no thunderous sound, the momentum was transmitted invisibly, which was even more shocking.

"Big, big, big, this is the cavalry of the Huashan Army! The little one who has seen that military flag will not be wrong! Hu Zhongkai was wondering which way it was, and the soldier next to him said in a somewhat flustered tone at this time.

"Huashan Army? Did they really come over? Hearing this, Hu Zhongkai couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart and said secretly.

The Huashan Army has not been stationed in Hyunshi County for a day or two, and as one of the closest counties, it is strange that Hu Zhongkai does not know about this matter. Especially on the Huguan side, Feng Yang sent official documents several times, asking him to pay attention to the possibility that the Huashan Army might go north to attack Changzi County.

I didn't expect that now the other party is really here, and there are so many cavalry at the beginning.

"My lord, what should we do now?" The county man and others beside him, seeing so many soldiers and horses outside the city, couldn't help but beat drums in their hearts, and they had to ask him about this county order at this time.

"What else can I do? Let's take a look! Hu Zhongkai stabilized his mood and said calmly.

At this time, Peng Lin outside the city was also looking at the county seat. After taking a look, he sent someone to the city to spread the word.

"Listen, the people in the city, we are the soldiers and horses of the Huashan army, and we have come to help you defend the city by the order of the general! Quickly open the gates and let the army enter the city! The soldiers ran to the bottom of the city and shouted at the city.

"There is no enemy in this county, please go back and tell the general, just say that my eldest son's county town is too small to accommodate so many large armies! If the generals don't mind, they can camp outside the city, and the generals can rest in the city! Hu Zhongkai listened, couldn't help but ponder for a while, and then replied.

"Tell him that Zhang Ping has sent 5,000 troops to take Changzi County, and he will arrive today and tomorrow! If we don't need our help, we will leave immediately, and then we will not care about this eldest son county again! After Peng Lin got the reply, he couldn't help but pull down his face and said coldly.

Soon the words were heard by all the people in the city. As soon as he heard that Zhang Ping had sent an army of 5,000 to attack Changzi County, everyone in the city couldn't help but be startled, and the soldiers at the head of the city were even more commotionous~ moved. After all, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers and civilians in the city today.

"My lord, let's hurry up and make an idea! Otherwise, the soldiers and horses of the state really came over, and we couldn't resist it by ourselves! The county man hurriedly said to Hu Zhongkai.

Hu Zhongkai didn't expect such a thing, of course he didn't receive the news. What he thought about before was just not to offend, not to let the Huashan army enter the city, and not to drive them away, and not to disobey Feng Yang's order.
