"It's almost over, Youxian Wang Taibei has invited Budugen, and Budugen's 30,000 troops are about to arrive in Taiyuan."

"In that case, let's let Zhang Liao go out, I've been silent in Liangzhou for more than a year, and it's time to move."

After Qin Hua discussed with Jia Xu, the number of horses arrived in Xihe County from Chang'an, which was the only one in Qin Hua's hands among the counties in the state.

And Zhang Liao and Guo Jia's armies were also stationed in Xihe County at this time.

"The Lord has a letter to him."

Zhang Liao called Guo Jia, although he took the initiative to undertake the war of annexing the state, but Guo Jia still likes to read every day, and the affairs in the army are still in charge of Zhang Liao, Guo Jia only occasionally appears and discusses with Zhang Liao.

"What does the letter say?"

"There are only four words: 'quick fix'."

"Okay, General Zhang, give the order to send troops."

"Hmm."

Zhang Liao was also very clear about the plan to merge the state, and immediately nodded in agreement.

With Zhang Liao's order, the Liangzhou army of Xihe County quickly moved and packed up to attack Taiyuan County, which was occupied by Taibei, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu.

Taibei, who was closely watching the Liangzhou army's every move, also quickly noticed their actions and began to order the whole army to prepare to meet the enemy.

At the same time, he sent a message to his allies asking them to come with him.

The reason why Taibei was not afraid of Qin Huajun was not because he received assistance from the Xiongnu royal court, but because he had two more allies.

In addition to the Xianbei man Fu Luo Han who was defeated by Qin Hua, with the assistance of Fu Luo Han, Taibei also invited Bu Dugen's assistance.

The two combined had 50,000 troops, all of whom were warriors of the Xianbei people, which greatly increased Taibei's confidence.

And the most critical thing is the rise of Han Sui.

Since absorbing the remnants of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Zhang Yan, Han Sui's power began to gradually expand.

First of all, he integrated the strength of the four counties of Shanggu, Daijun, Yanmen, and Shangdang, so that his strength has been greatly expanded.

Then he even directly annexed the forces of the White Wave Yellow Turban.

Under Han Sui's continuous infiltration, it was too late for Mrs. Guo to find out.

was captured and killed by Han Sui, and most of the leaders of the Baibo Yellow Turban also died in this riot.

The Baibo Yellow Turban group was leaderless, and Han Sui broke them one by one with superior forces, and quickly took control of the territory of the Baibo Yellow Turban.

Since Zhang Jiao's death, these yellow scarves have actually lost their faith for a long time, and they are not so much yellow scarves as homeless people.

After Han Sui promised to give preferential treatment to the people, these Yellow Turban Army were naturally accepted by Han Sui.

During this period, Han Sui secretly bribed the Xiongnu generals, and promised to continue to fight with Taibei against Qin Hua, and would personally participate in the war after annexing the Baibo Yellow Turban.

Taibei, the right virtuous king of the Xiongnu, did not want to intervene in the war between the Han people, as long as Han Sui was still on his side, he did not interfere in Han Sui's affairs.

In addition, after the annexation of Baibo and the Yellow Turban, Han Sui really kept his promise and still provided grain, grass, grain and grass materials for the Xiongnu army on behalf of Guo Tai, and Taibei acquiesced in this matter.

On the contrary, he was a little happy that his ally had changed from the somewhat cowardly and incompetent Guo Tai to Han Sui, so that when he fought against Qin Hua, he had a little more certainty.

May of the second year of Xingping

The 100,000-strong army led by Zhang Liao came to the city of Taiyuan.

At this time, the information of the spies was also sent to Zhang Liao.

"The Hun army is 80,000, the Xianbei army is 50,000, and Han Sui's army of 100,000, the enemy army has a total of 230,000, which is really not small."

Guo Jia held a feather fan, and while fanning the wind gently, he looked at Zhang Liao and said.

"Even though the enemy army has 230,000 troops, I, Zhang Wenyuan, are still not afraid, and the Liangzhou army is still not afraid."

Saying that, Zhang Liao came to the side of the Xuanjia rider standing neatly behind him, touched the forehead of a war horse, and shook his head slightly.

"Unfortunately, this is not doomed."

Seeing Zhang Liao's expression, Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and shook his head.

"Warriors..."

Because of the strength of the enemy's army, Zhang Liao's army was not stationed near Taiyuan City, but camped fifty miles outside the city, and did not come to attack the city for several days.

Taiyuan City Guards Mansion

Taibei, Han Sui, Budugen, and Fuluo Han all gathered together to discuss the war with the Liangzhou army.

"The enemy army must see that our army is strong and dare not attack the city, so Qin Hua is nothing more than that, haha~~~"

Fu Luo Han was still haunted by Qin Hua's defeat, but Bu Dugen frowned.

The same is true of Han Sui on the side.

Taibei asked the two of them with some puzzlement, now there are 80,000 troops stationed in Taiyuan City, 50,000 Xianbei troops of Budugen and Fuluo Han are stationed on the left side of the city, and Han Sui's 100,000 troops are on the right.

"Then Qin Hua's army is very powerful, and King Youxian should not underestimate them."

Budugen was the first to say.

"Now our army has 230,000 people stationed here, and I have provided all the grain and grass, and if it takes a long time, it will be difficult to supply it."

Han Sui also voiced his concerns.

During this period of confrontation with the Liangzhou army, Taibei also sent people to carefully investigate the situation in Liangzhou, and at least one point of Liangzhou's side had an advantage, that is, grain and grass materials.

This is far from being matched by their union of states.

"What's so difficult about this, we don't have to wait for the other party to come and attack the city, why don't we go directly to attack their military fortress."

The irascible Fu Luo Han saw that he obviously had an advantage, and these people still said so, so he immediately made a suggestion.

After speaking, he looked at Taibei again and continued: "The army of the Right Virtuous King is also a warrior of the grassland, and it should not be good at defending the city, so why not directly attack their camp." ”

"The Han military camp was built in an open area, and the nearby trees were also cut down to build the camp, and there could never be an ambush, which was just right for our cavalry to charge."

Although in Taibei's mind, Fu Luohan is a straightforward person who doesn't know how to use his brain at all, but after listening to his words this time, his eyes lit up.

Before, because he heard that Qin Hua had more than 200,000 troops under his command, he was afraid and had been in a state of passive defense.

Now that it is clear that one side has the upper hand, why do you need to passively wait for the other party to attack here?

"Qin Hua has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and if you want to take the initiative to attack, you need to reconnoiter in advance."

Seeing that Taibei seemed to be very interested in taking the initiative, Han Sui immediately stood up and said.

"This is reasonable, then send scouts first to reconnoiter the Liangzhou military camp within a hundred miles to see if there are ambushes."

Taibei, who originally wanted to promise Luo Han, immediately calmed down when he heard Han Sui's words, and at the same time, he was also very satisfied with Han Sui's opinion.

Although his side has more than 200,000 troops, if Qin Hua didn't just send the 100,000 troops in front of him, there would still be a lot of damage if he fought hard.

Taibei didn't just want to occupy Taiyuan, his goal was even more ambitious, so it was naturally best to lose fewer troops.

After carefully confirming that there were no ambushes within a radius of 100 miles, Taibei made up his mind that the reason why the enemy army did not come to attack the city should be waiting for reinforcements, so he must defeat them before the other party's reinforcements arrive.

Because it was only an alliance, not a monarch and a minister, Taibei's own army also participated in the attack on the Liangzhou army.

He almost moved with all the 80,000 troops under his command, 50,000 troops of the Xianbei people on the left and 50,000 troops sent by Han Sui on the right, a total of 180,000 troops, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Liangzhou army with rapid momentum.
