Tongguan, since Fu Yun failed to attack the city, this gate has been completely under martial law, more than half of the troops have been deployed in Xicheng all day long, used to guard against thieves in the direction of Huayin. Fortunately, since Fu Yun came back a few days ago, the Huayin rebels have not made any movement to attack Tongguan, which makes the soldiers in Guanzhong breathe a sigh of relief.

In the guard's mansion, Fu Yun was pacing, and he was only irritable in his heart. If nothing else, it's because of the group of anti-thieves entrenched in Huayin County.

That day was a day that he regarded as a shame in his life, and his dignified clan side branch was actually wiped out by a group of chaotic people, not to mention that even he was captured. It was a great disgrace, and there was nothing more angry than that.

Fortunately, he met a few people who were loyal to the imperial court, and not only released himself, but also quietly let himself out of the city, and finally returned to Tongguan. However, when he thought of the thieves he inadvertently saw when he escaped, he couldn't help but feel a heavy pressure. In that small county, there are clearly thousands of elite soldiers guarding it, no wonder he was so completely defeated.

As soon as he thought of this, he hated the Huayin County Commander, if it wasn't for him saying that there were only nearly a thousand chaotic people in the city, how could he act rashly and attack the city with only a thousand men and horses. Therefore, when he returned to Tongguan, he didn't say a word, and the first thing was to arrest the Huayin County Order and behead it to show the public, and Fang felt that the evil anger in his heart came out of something.

Behind him, the remaining generals of Tongguan stood there and didn't dare to be angry, everyone knew that Fu Yun had become extremely irritable since he fled back, and if he accidentally angered him, he was afraid that his life would be in danger.

"Why don't you speak? Huayin County fell into the hands of the enemy, and you can't think of a way to recapture the city? What do I want you to do with this piece of shit? After walking back and forth for a while, Fu Yun suddenly turned around, glanced at the people behind him, and said angrily.

"General, the anti-thieves in Huayin County are strong, and with our Tongguan troops, I'm afraid we won't be able to recapture the city. Moreover, the terrain here is unfavorable, even if there are thousands of troops and horses, it is impossible to expand all in the east of Huayin County, in the opinion of the last general, if you want to capture Huayin City, you must attack from both sides, and attack the east and west gates at the same time! Seeing that he seemed to be angry again, a general hurriedly spoke.

"Do you need to be reminded of this? I have revised the book and reported the history of Yuzhou Thorn, just waiting for the order to be issued, and then I will be dealt with! However, Yiyang has been here for more than 400 miles, and when the arrangements are made over there, I am afraid that things will change! When the time comes, you and I can't afford to blame it! Hearing this, Fu Yun snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Report, General! The following people reported that the thieves in Huayin City seemed to have moved, and I don't know what happened! Just as the crowd didn't know how to answer, a soldier ran in from outside the door and said loudly.

"Sure enough, Huayin thieves won't stay in the city honestly! Pass the order, closely monitor the direction of Huayin, and report to General Ben as soon as there is any movement! Hearing this, Fu Yun couldn't help sighing, his face was even deeper with worry, and he waved his hand to send the person away.

"General, these thieves didn't come to attack us, so the only place they could go to was west of Huayin, if the last general expected it was good, I'm afraid they were going to attack Fuxi County. After all, unless they have a large number of crossings in their hands, it is impossible to rush across the Weishui, and besides, we have more soldiers and horses over there, so they shouldn't be able to take risks easily! The lobby was quiet for a while, and only then did a general stand up and say cautiously.

"Fuxi Town, it doesn't matter if you lose it, the only important thing now is to mobilize troops and eliminate this gang of thieves as soon as possible! It's just that I don't know when this will have to wait! It's really worrying! Fu Yun waved his hand, feeling a little upset.

"The general is right, we should act as soon as possible. Moreover, after Huayin County was occupied by the anti-thieves, our direct contact with Chang'an was cut off, and I don't know what the situation in Guanzhong is now. The most important thing is that our food may not be able to support it for too long, so please make plans in advance! One of the generals continued.

Hearing this, the generals present couldn't help but be secretly worried. After all, everyone knows that if there is no food, even if there are 2,000 soldiers and horses in this Tongguan, I am afraid it will not be able to support it for too long. And once Tongguan is lost, these people will definitely not survive.

"The food problem is easy to solve, I have already reported to Lord Taishou, and there will be food delivered soon, but this is not a long-term solution. After all, there is not much food in Kanto, and there are so many places to support it, and it is impossible to allocate too much to us. In the final analysis, we still have to quickly recapture Huayin City and open up the connection with Guanzhong! Glancing at them, Fu Yun said in a deep voice.

"When does the general think Yang Yuanjun's side will take action?" Hearing this, everyone felt a little relieved, but some people quickly thought of other questions.

"I don't know, Yang Tingshi was defeated and retreated to Hongnong County, and since then he has been alerting the enemy of Xuchang, even if he wants to mobilize troops and horses, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Fu Yun shook his head and sighed.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be silent for a while, and the whole hall was extremely quiet.

On the other side, Hongnong County, which is more than 400 miles away from Tongguan, that is, the area of the ancient city of Hanguguan in the northeast of Lingbao City in later generations, Yang Qun, the assassin of Yuzhou, who has just been in office for more than a year, is also thinking about Huayin at this time.

Yang Qun was originally the late general of Later Zhao, but because Fu Jian entered the main pass, he was demoted. He was a general of the right guard before, and the original Yuzhou pastor was Zhang Yu, who was just about to rebel and was killed. At the beginning, Zhang Yu was attacked by the Jin people, and finally the people and horses were withdrawn to Guanzhong, and Yang Qun took over the position of the assassin of Yuzhou and guarded Xuchang.

It's a pity that not long after Yang Qun arrived, Xie Shang sent people to attack Xuchang, and under the defeat, he had to retreat to Hongnong County. Although I have always wanted to recapture Xuchang City, I have not made any progress until now, and I didn't expect that my matter here has not been resolved, and there is an accident in the west again.

"The envoy is still worried about the Tongguan guard's request for help?" Yang Qun was not in the yamen at this time, so he was a lot more casual, standing in the garden at this time, with a sad face. A middle-aged man wearing a gauze hat next to him just walked over, and when he saw his appearance, he spoke.

"Alas, the matter of Xuchang has not yet ended, and Huayin has already had an accident. The importance of Huayin County, I believe I don't need to say more! Once the anti-thief forces in Huayin City grow, especially if Tongguan is captured, it means that we may be attacked on both sides, and in that case, it will not be a good thing for us! Yang Qun didn't look back, he knew who was coming, sighed, and said.

"Yes! Now that Guanzhong is in chaos, maybe Guanzhong will change hands at some point. We are in a bad situation now, if we recapture Xuchang, it is better to say, but now the enemy of Xuchang is still eyeing us, we must step up our vigilance! However, it seems that the general of the Tongguan should not ask the envoy for help, compared to us, the Guanzhong Imperial Court should be more suitable! The middle-aged man nodded, but at the end, he was puzzled.

"He has no choice, after all, the roads west of Tongguan have been cut off by anti-thieves. Even if he wants to contact Guanzhong, I'm afraid he doesn't have the power. It just so happens that we are closest to him, and we have troops in our hands, so he will ask us for help. The most important thing is that even if he can contact Guanzhong, with the current situation of the imperial court, I am afraid that there will not be enough troops to deal with the Huayin rebels, otherwise, those rebels around Chang'an will not have been pacified by now! Yang Qun was not surprised at all, and said leisurely.

"I went to inquire, and it turned out that Na Fu Yun had attacked Huayin City once, and as a result, not only was the whole army destroyed, but even he himself was captured. He just escaped recently, and he didn't have the courage to counterattack Huayin again, so he asked us for help! It's a pity that the Luozhou Assassin of the imperial court has not yet arrived, otherwise, these things have nothing to do with the envoy at all! I don't know what the envoy thinks? Did you agree to his request for help? The middle-aged man groaned for a moment before he spoke.

"Since he has already begged us, the old man can't turn a blind eye, the court treats me well, and I and Na Fuyun are also considered to be ministers of the same dynasty. What's more, the pacification of Huayin's rebels is also a great benefit to us, so as not to suffer from the enemy on our backs. So be it! You take my order and hand it over to Zhu Lin, and let him bring 4,000 soldiers and horses into the east of the river, cross the river, and attack the west gate of Huayin City! In addition, let Lin Yi bring a thousand soldiers and horses into Tongguan, join Fu Yun, and then attack at the same time, and recapture Huayin City in one fell swoop! Yang Qun nodded and said to him.

"Yes!" The middle-aged man hurriedly responded, but after thinking for a while, he still said: "Envoy, that Huayin City is said to have thousands of elite soldiers, and Huayin City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, let's only attack the west of the city with these 4,000 soldiers and horses, is it too few?" ”

"You have a point! However, these 5,000 soldiers and horses are already our upper limit, and if we transfer more troops and horses, once there is movement on the Xuchang side, it will be difficult for us to deal with it. So be it! I'll repair a book, and you send someone to send it to Lord Shi Yin, and ask him to send 1,000 troops together, a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack the west of the city, in this case, it should be enough. Hearing this, Yang Qun thought for a while, and finally said.
