Hongnong County and Shangluo County were originally the same place, but they were split off by Fu Jian a few years ago and put together to form a Luozhou. Now that most of Hongnong County is in the hands of the Huashan Army, it means that this Luozhou has basically been taken. In this way, the two major passages into the southeast and east of Guanzhong are in the hands of them, which is naturally of great significance for the safety of Guanzhong.

In addition to the troops sent from Tongguan, from Hedong County, Li Xin also mobilized a thousand soldiers and horses. After passing the Yuban Ancient Road, directly cross the Yellow River in the south of Dayang County, and merge with each other in the county seat of Shaanxi County. In this way, in the direction of Hongnong County facing Luoyang, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses.

The group of troops under Yang Qun naturally withdrew directly to Guanzhong first, and among these people, there were many old and weak, and only about half of them could really be used. After the on-site reorganization, it can be regarded as enriching the local population.

Hongnong County is the land of Hangu Pass in the Qin Dynasty, not far from Lingbao City in later generations, and the Hangu Pass newly built by Cao Cao is also in this place. Shaanxi County is on the bank of the Yellow River, opposite Dayang County on the north bank.

There is a Maojin ferry outside the county seat of Shaanxi County, which is an important ferry port for transporting salt from the east of the river to the south of the Yellow River.

It can not only ensure the smooth transportation of salt, but also connect Hongnong and Hedong, once something happens, the two places can form a linkage and timely support.

Although it is said that Huangchi County and Yiyang County in the east have not been able to take it, but for Nanling Pass in the southeast of Shaanxi County, he is determined to win. Fortunately, Yang Qun also knew that this place was a place to divide Shaanxi and choke Qin, so he sent troops to guard it before, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

In this way, Li Xin took over the place smoothly. There is Nanling Pass in the north, and there is Wuguan Pass in the south, which guards the east side of the pass like a double fist. After leaving Nanling Pass, you can reach Luoyang more than 200 miles to the east.

On the Wuguan side, He Feng guarded it, and this Nanling Pass and the old Hangu Pass in Hongnong County, he handed it over to Chen Kang to defend. In Nanling Pass, there are 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed, paying close attention to the movements in Luoyang. After all, Yao Xiang and Huan Wen are fighting in that place now.

Since learning that Huan Wen was heading north, Yao Xiang had to give up his attack on Luoyang City and was now stationed on the north bank of Yishui. This Yishui is the Yihe River in later generations, which passes through Luoyang and other places and flows north into the Yellow River.

Although Huan Wen's banner is to recover Luoyang and clean up the royal mausoleum, as long as anyone with a discerning eye knows who he is aiming for. Of course, Yao Xiang himself knew this, so he had to deal with it with all his might.

"I wanted to take advantage of Li Xin's absence in Guanzhong and when the main force of the Huashan Army was advancing westward, I would quickly take Luoyang and other places, and then I could enter Guanzhong, and even if it was not good, I could also take the land east of Hedong! Unexpectedly, Na Fu Qin couldn't help beating so much, and it was only less than three months, and he was actually eliminated by Li Xin. Now that Li Xin has returned to Shiguanzhong, I wanted to surrender Yang Qun, who would have thought that he would actually surrender to Li Xin. In this way, let's not say that the plot is closed, we have to be careful that he will come from the west! In the barracks, Yao Xiang, who had just received the news that the Huashan Army had taken over the counties of Hongnong, couldn't help but be shocked and angry.

"Alas, I knew that Li Xin was so powerful, we should have marched directly from Xuchang to Hedong in the first place! Now that the troops are here, the Huan Wen is coming violently, and there is a threat to the west, and the prospect is really unpredictable! Hearing this, Quan Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Wang Changshi's words, and I have been delayed for too long under Luoyang City, so that I have today! It's all my fault! Today's plan, we have to solve the matter of Huan Wen first, you can have a way! When Yao Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

After all, when he attacked Luoyang City, his long history Wang Liang had already advised him. Tell him that this Luoyang City is too strong, and if it can't be defeated, he should evacuate as soon as possible and go elsewhere. It's a pity that Yao Xiang was very stubborn at the time, and as soon as the cow's temper came up, he didn't listen to it at all, and now it's too late to regret it.

"Envoy, that Huan Wen personally led a large army, our soldiers are few and weak, if you want to defeat it, I am afraid it will be difficult! In today's situation, we have to use a plan! Everyone groaned for a while, and Xue Zan stood up and said.

"What do you do! Come on! Yao Xiang immediately rejoiced.

"That Huan Wen is in a high position on the left side of the river, and after the destruction of the Li clan in Shuzhong and the battle in Guanzhong, it is inevitable that he will be arrogant and arrogant, and he will not be seen by others! The envoy may wish to repair a letter and subordinate himself to show respect and respect, and to be proud of his heart. Then, invite them to come and discuss the matter of surrender, we will hide the elite in the Shuibei forest, and only after they cross the river, we will kill them. As soon as Huan Wen dies, the danger of this battle can be solved! Xue Zan proposed.

"Well, that's a great idea! As long as Huan Wen can be solved, Jiangzuo's army will inevitably collapse. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to win a big victory. Without the threat of Huan Wen, we can immediately march west and take Hongnong! Hearing this, Yao Xiang couldn't help but stroking his palms and laughing.

After the discussion was completed, Yao Xiangdang even repaired a book, and the letter was full of boasting and flattery, and at the end he mentioned the matter of returning to Shun and asked Huan Wen to cross the river to negotiate.

The letter was soon sent to Huan Wen's military camp, and by this time, his army was less than a day's journey from Yao Xiang, and he could reach the southern shore of Yishui in a matter of moments.

Huan Wen rode a horse to the Chinese army, and Xi Chao followed him on the expedition as in the past, serving military affairs beside him.

"Li Xin is back! The situation in Guanzhong is unbreakable! Fu Qin didn't stop him after all! In a short period of time, even most of Qinzhou belongs to Li Xin! As he walked forward, Huan Wen said lightly.

"With the wisdom of a great general, you should know that this is the inevitable result. Since the defeat and retreat of Longxi, the gap between Fu Qin and the Huashan Army has become farther and farther away from the Huashan Army in all aspects. Therefore, under the First World War, it is naturally irresistible. Today's Huashan Army, the strength is a little stronger than the original Fu Qinlai! Xi Chao nodded, and then said.

"In time, Li Xin will inevitably be more powerful, and I think it's better to take precautions as soon as possible! Although he has no traces of disobedience now, who can imagine what will happen in the future! Huan Wen sighed.

"A few days ago, Hongnong Yang Qun returned to the Huashan Army, and now, most of Hongnong County belongs to Li Hantang. Coupled with the fact that on the east side of the river, Yiguan won a big victory and retreated from the enemy, and the current Huashan Army can be said to have no threat for the time being. It is said that Li Hantang also rushed to Hongnong County in person to preside over the reception. If the general goes to Luoyang this time, maybe he can meet him, and then try his mind! Hearing this, after a deep groan, Xi Chao said.

With Xi Chao's character, he has never been the kind of pedantic person, otherwise, how would he support Huan Wen to seize the power of the Sima clan! Therefore, relatively speaking, he admires Li Xin's style of doing things. You can do it if you want to, and you don't have to think too much about it at all.

"You're right, maybe you should really meet each other!" For this suggestion, Huan Wen quite agreed.

"General Qiqi, Yao Xiang sent someone to send a letter!" Just as the two were talking, the former army suddenly sent someone over to report it.

"Oh, bring it!" Huan Wen was stunned for a moment, and then commanded.

Soon, Yao Xiang's messenger was brought over, and the letter also reached his hands. After Huan Wen unfolded it and looked at it, he was silent and did not speak.

"General, what does Yao Xiang have to say?" Seeing this, Xi Chao on the side couldn't help asking.

"Look at it!" Huan Wen handed him the letter in his hand!

Xi Chao took it and took a look, and finally understood. After thinking about it for a while, he whispered to Huan Wen: "Yao Xiang is capricious and ambitious, and he is not a person who surrenders easily. Now that our army has just arrived, and the two sides have not yet fought, we are afraid that there will be something strange about the convenient request for submission! The general should be careful! ”

Huan Wen listened, nodded, then looked at the messenger, and said, "This duke is here to restore the old capital and tidy up the tombs of the former kings, what does it have to do with your envoys?" If you want to submit to me and talk to me, then just come and come directly. It's only half a day's journey from left to right, but you still have to send messengers! Go back and tell him that if you want to see him, come if you don't want to! ”

With that, he sent the messenger away.

"If Yao Xiang has a plan, the general's actions will inevitably expose his conspiracy. In this way, it will inevitably dispatch troops to block our crossing of the river. Generals should be prepared as soon as possible! Wait until the messenger leaves, Xi Chao suggested.

"Well, send more scouts to investigate the surrounding situation. The army quickly rushed to the south bank of Yishui and prepared to cross the river! Huan Wen nodded, and then ordered.

Let's say that after Yao Xiang got the reward, he knew that the plan would not work. I also heard that the Huan Wen army was coming soon, and there was no choice but to prepare for war. He hid his elite in the woods on the north bank, preparing to kill them in one fell swoop when the Huan Wen army crossed the river.

In the afternoon, Huan Wen's army reached the south bank and began to cross the river. As soon as the army landed on the river, Yao Xiang led his men to kill them. If it was without precautions, the Huan Wen army would have been caught off guard and would have been killed.

But under the circumstance that Huan Wen had already prepared, Yao Xiang's idea naturally could not succeed. In this battle, Huan Wen let the army that went ashore first line up in front, and he was even more armored in front of the battle, and after the battle, Yao Xiang's soldiers and horses were defeated, and thousands of people were killed.

Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, Yao Xiang hurriedly led his thousands of cavalry to flee west to Luoyang Beishan. To say that Yao Xiang's reputation is really good, as soon as he heard that he was there, many people ran over to follow, but it was quite a bit of Liu Bei's demeanor back then.
