After knowing the news that the 40,000 Guanzhong army was moving to the north, the new Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan immediately convened the generals of his department to discuss the matter of galloping south to aid Taiyuan. Last year, he secretly took refuge in Lu Bu, and after defeating Liu Bao, he sent Lu Bu's beloved Xiliang Army to Taiyuan. Although Lu Bu is in a weak position now, he at least has the power to resist, in case Lu Bu wins with his hand, then he can also be ranked in the court and wear vermilion. It can be said that this is a big gamble, gambling on the future of the Southern Xiongnu.

Three days later, Long Jun, who had entered Wuyuan, immediately divided the Guanzhong army into two when he learned that the Xiongnu were moving south to support Taiyuan, and ordered Ma Chao to command 20,000 troops to continue to march north. At the same time, Long Jun ordered Zhao Yun of Hanzhou, Xu Huang of Juyanhai and Yan Xing of Xiqiang to return to Chang'an immediately after the deployment was completed and rushed to Taiyuan.

"The three Taoyuan brothers actually chose to assist Yuan Shao in capturing Tianjing Pass, it seems that Yuan Shao has planned to join forces with Qingxu to attack Guanzhong or Yanzhou after the battle of Bingzhou." Looking at the news in his hand, Xun You's eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Liu Bei's three brothers chose to assist Yuan Shao, and this news was not only bad news for Guan Zhongjun, but also for Cao Cao. Once Yuan Shao took Tianjing Pass and the coalition army entered the Shangdang, Taiyuan was close at hand, and with the assistance of Liu Bei's three brothers, Cao Cao could not stop Yuan Shao from seizing the Son of Heaven at all, which is why Long Jun chose to let Zhao Yun and the three rush to the state.

When Long Jun heard this, he was slightly stunned, then looked at Taiyuan on the map and said coldly, "Don't worry, if you talk about the strength of the two sides, it's not much different!" I'm afraid of one thing now, in case we have a grudge with Yuan Shao before Taiyuan, I'm afraid it will give Lu Bu another chance to breathe, there are Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong leading the troops outside, and these two are also invincible generals, Chen Gong has a lot of room for maneuver, so before Long Yang and the others destroy Hua Xiong, we should find a way to force Zhang Liao back to Taiyuan. ”

"Force Zhang Liao to return to Taiyuan? Does the lord want to use the soldiers and horses in Zhang Liao's hands to slow down the attack of the coalition army, and then wait for our army to assemble in Taiyuan? As the accompanying division of this campaign, Xun You is of course aware of the gap between the Guanzhong Army and the Jizhou soldiers and horses, the other side has 140,000 soldiers and horses, while the Guanzhong Army only has 40,000, even if the Yanzhou Army is added, it can be equal. In addition, no one can guarantee that Cao Cao will support Guanzhong wholeheartedly.

"My old father-in-law's thoughts, we don't have to guess, we are definitely not the only ones who want to narrow the prince to order the princes, so we must have absolute strength to snatch the court from the other party." After a pause, Long Jun crossed his hands and continued to say in a deep voice, "Actually, I can also transfer the 30,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Chang'an as reserves, but if it is not my race, its heart will be different. ”

In fact, the whole army has long criticized Long Jun for leaving half of his soldiers and horses in Chang'an, but unfortunately Long Jun has not spoken out to explain, until this re-attack on Meiji, everyone understands Long Jun's painstaking efforts. It turned out that the previous 40,000 troops rushed to Meiji, just to intimidate the Xiongnu, and at the same time to give the Xiongnu an illusion, that is, to make the Xiongnu feel that the soldiers of the Guanzhong army were few, and the army of Lu Bu was strong. Let him really make up his mind to rush to the aid of Taiyuan and fall into the trap of the Guanzhong army, otherwise the Guanzhong army would not be able to occupy the territory of the Southern Huns so easily. Now that Long Jun is explaining, everyone understands why Long Jun left half of his soldiers and horses in Chang'an.

Two days later, the Guanzhong army easily took Meiji, and then planned to cross the river. But at this moment, Zhang Liao's Bingzhou army deployed in the river suddenly killed Tongguo, cutting off the route of Long Jun and the others to cross the river. Looking at the Guanzhong Army camp on the other side of the river, Zhang Liao had mixed feelings in his heart, and he had no intention of competing with the Guanzhong Army at all. Since the period of the young emperor, they fought with the Guanzhong army many times, but they did not even win a battle, the army was afraid of the Guanzhong iron cavalry like a tiger, and now the Guanzhong army intervened in this battle, including him, and the generals of the state also lost confidence in this battle.

Looking at Zhang Liao, who was lonely with his back, and Gao Shun, the only one who had a good relationship with him in the state army, paced to Zhang Liao's side, followed the other party's line of sight, and said in a deep voice, "Rumors in the army, Wen Yuan don't have to worry." This battle will be handed over to us to fight in the camp, as long as we hold the Guanzhong army on the other side of the river, the lord does not have to worry, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are just dogs. ”

Seeing that Gao Shun, who didn't speak much, said so much in one breath, Zhang Liao shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then said softly, "I'm not worried about the rumors in the army, but about the Blazing Sky Army under our banner." Isn't it strange that they made a big fuss in Jizhou before, but now they have disappeared without a trace? Besides, didn't you notice that the camp on the other side of the river had shrunk by nearly half? I'm very scared that these bits and pieces of clues come together. ”

"What are you afraid of? And the four northern counties? Long before you and I sent troops, the military advisor said that the four northern counties could not be saved, and it didn't matter where the other party went, as long as it was not before the lord defeated Yuan Shao's generation, our army could maintain the balance of power. ”

Who knew that when Gao Shun finished persuading, Zhang Liao turned his gaze to Gao Shun and stared deeply at this best friend, he didn't believe that Gao Shun couldn't see anything, if he only lost the four northern counties, he wouldn't be so worried. Gao Shun saw Zhang Liao staring at him with burning eyes, so he smiled slightly, and asked meaningfully, "Does Wen Yuan think what I said is wrong?" And the four northern counties can still be saved? Or maybe the lord can't defeat the Jizhou coalition army? ”

"You know what I mean! If you only lose the four counties in the north and don't forget what else is north of Yanmen? 100,000 grassland iron horsemen were eyeing each other, thinking about how many big battles we fought with Xianbei in Wuyuan and Yanmen back then. Have you forgotten? The Guanzhong army has no experience in the enemy's steppe, and if the other side breaks through the defenses of the border army, what will be the consequences? ”

When it came to the battle with Xianbei, Gao Shun casually wiped his chest, and there was a scar across his chest hidden in the armor. After being silent for a long time, Gao Shun chuckled and said, "I know that you are worried that the Blazing Sky Army and half of Long Jun's soldiers and horses will join forces to enter Yanmen and destroy the deployment of the defense Xianbei. But can you still write to Long Jun to explain this situation? Since he wants to capture the four northern counties, it is up to him to deal with the invasion of foreign tribes, what are you worried about. ”

"I've already ordered someone to send a letter to Long Jun!" Under Gao Shun's shocked gaze, Zhang Liao sat on the sand by the river with a lonely expression, and continued, "I am from Yanmen, and I have known the dangers of foreign invasion since I was a child, so I can't watch foreign invasion of my hometown. The princes can fight with each other as much as they want, but they must not give a chance to foreigners, even if I, Zhang Liao, are eventually suspected of collaborating with the enemy, we must ensure that my Central Plains are not invaded by foreigners. ”

"You're crazy, aren't you? Do you know that just because you sent a letter to Long Jun, the lord can kill you and sacrifice the flag? Back then, the lord and Dong Zhuo competed, and you remained neutral, although you finally fell to the lord, but there are still many people in the army who are quick to get rid of you. Isn't that an excuse to kill you? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao raised his head and looked at this colleague who was really good for himself, and smiled, "So what?" At least I won't let the people in my hometown scold me after I die. If you don't let the state army bear the infamy of eternity, the hearts of non-my race will be different, haven't you heard this sentence? The Xiongnu went south to support Taiyuan, do you think they are really good for the state? Just the melee of merging states has ignited the ambitions of foreign races, so what about the melee in the world? Now there are many male lords in Xianbei, once he unifies Xianbei, the Central Plains will face more than just 100,000 iron horsemen outside Yanmen. ”

In the face of such Zhang Liao, Gao Shun was silent, it was an indisputable fact that the princes were fighting, could anyone still have the power to return to the sky? And whether it is Lu Bu or Long Jun, or Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in front of Tianjing Pass, will these people really consider this? For them, maybe the chair in the Jinyang Palace was what they were most worried about, because everyone was afraid that the enemy would sit in that position. So Gao Shun was silent for a long time, and then sat on the ground with Zhang Liao's buttocks, laughing at himself, "Since you, Zhang Wenyuan, have this kind of concern for the country and the people, if I Gao Shun don't keep up with your pace, wouldn't it be a vain friendship?" Don't worry, I will write to explain to the lord about your message to Long Jun. ”

Hearing Gao Shun say this, Zhang Liao smiled slightly and explained to Lu Bu, would he believe it? Not to mention Lu Bu, I'm afraid that no prince in the world will allow this kind of thing to happen. But since he has done it, he has nothing to worry about, he died for the country and his family, and he died a well-deserved death. It's just that he really wants to see the moment when the wolf is sealed, the Central Plains can conquer the grassland again.

At the same time, the generals of the Guanzhong Army, who had just finished discussing how to force Zhang Liao back, gathered again in Long Jun's tent. Looking at the letter that Long Jun held up, everyone deeply admired Zhang Liao's loyalty. In wartime, a private message to the commander of the enemy army is simply a joke with his own life. However, there are different opinions on what Zhang Liaoxin said above, and some people think that only one person Huaxiong will not be able to completely occupy the four northern counties. There are also people who think that Huaxiong can be recovered and continue to let Huaxiong guard Yanmen.

After everyone finished their opinions, Xun You, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "The previous lord wanted to destroy Huaxiong and force Zhang Liao to return to Taiyuan. In fact, why didn't his subordinates feel that Zhang Liao could be forced to Yanmen and let Huaxiong return to Taiyuan? Judging from Zhang Liao's letter, he is not the kind of military general who aims for fame and fortune, and is dedicated to serving the country and the people. It would be much more convenient if he was asked to guard Yanmen and Wuyuan and our army, after all, there was a sentence in his letter that was right, and the state army was indeed more familiar with the Xianbei people than us. In addition, there is still a murderous feud between Huaxiong and Lu Bu, although we don't know why Huaxiong went out of the mountain again to block the Jizhou army of Daijun for Lu Bu, but letting Huaxiong return to Taiyuan may cause great changes within it. ”

"Force Huaxiong to return to Taiyuan?" Speaking from the heart, Long Jun also has a heart for this Huaxiong, and the grudges back then have long disappeared with Dong Zhuo's death. However, if Huaxiong is forced back to Taiyuan, it may really play an unexpected role. So Long Jun thought about it and said in a deep voice, "Then follow Gongda's ideas, send a message to Long Yang, and ask him to find a way to defeat Huaxiong and force him to return to Taiyuan, as for Zhang Liao, Gongda, you go to see him and talk to him!" ”

"Whoa!"
