After the Shangyuan Festival, Hu Chuquan was released from the pavilion, and left Jinyang with Gongsun Xun and went south to Qi County, accompanied by more than 20,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers, and a large number of officers and scribes. And after coming to Qi County, an important node in Jindi, Wang Xiu, who had already arrived here, and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers of his department were gathered.

So far, the Youzhou Army, which has been fully supplemented in Taiyuan County, has a total of 20,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers. Moreover, there are countless war horses and pack horses, which almost block the entire passage; Even all kinds of materials such as grain, grass, ordnance, etc., have already been piled up along the banks of Fenshui in Qi County.

Of course, from the perspective of Hu Chuquan, I am afraid that there is no such thing as soldiers and auxiliaries, and I am also a little helpless about the source of a large number of war horses and pack horses...... But no matter what, he saw the most powerful army he had ever seen in his life, and he had a relatively sober understanding of the situation in the world.

That is, this General Wei in Taiyuan, Yuan Cheqi, the master of the Guanasean Association who remotely controlled the sour jujube coalition army in Hanoi, and Dong Xiangguo, who beat Yuan Shao, these three big men are the real powerhouses in the world! All the rest, no matter how ambitious, how ideas, no matter how capable and powerful, can only choose one of the three at this time, and choose one of them...... Then, either by the wings of these three, or by the corpse of one of the three, can do something.

Of course, after this idea became firm, Hu Chuquan was not complacent because his brother had caught Yuan Benchu's line, on the contrary, he began to worry about his brother being caught between the two giants - if he really fought, what would his brother's four or five thousand cavalry, plus Zhang Yang's four or five thousand infantry, be enough to do in front of such an army?

Should I surrender at that time, or should I flee along the Huguan?

If he surrenders, he is likely to be directly annexed by this Wei general, who has mastered part of the power of the Northern Xiongnu; If you escape, you will enter Hanoi or Wei County, and you will not be familiar with the place, and I am afraid that you will probably be swallowed up by Yuan Shao...... That Yuan Alliance Lord has been quite harsh on the surrounding coalition forces recently!

If you don't surrender or leave, you can only fight...... That's even more crisp! Maybe the orthodoxy of the 400-year-old Xiongnu court handed down from Mao Dunshan will end here.

However, this worry quickly dissipated, because not long after coming to Qi County, Gongsun Xun summoned Hu Chuquan, and then scolded him, saying that he had avenged the murder of his father for the two brothers, but the two of them dared to block the road according to the party, which was really shameless!

After a gesture, Hu Chuquan could only kowtow repeatedly, compensate himself and his brother, and then handed over tears to express his gratitude to General Wei.

And then ......

Then, the general Wei asked Hu Chuquan to go back to the party. And with them, there are also Wang Rou, the former general of the Huns, and a scribe named Xizhong in the curtain of the Wei general, the two of them are one and the other, and they will go to Shangdang with Hu Chuquan for a return visit, the former will be an official envoy, and the latter will go to Hanoi and Bo County on the border of Shangdang to pick up Lu Zhi, Gongsun Yue and others.

Before leaving, Hu Chuquan saw clearly that the Youzhou army in Qi County had already moved out in a big way, and drove along the Fenshui to the southwest step by step, as if it was heading towards the east of the river...... By the time they left, they had already dispatched tens of thousands of troops, and they were still in a steady stream.

Returning to the envoys and sending troops, it is obvious that although this Wei general has a vicious voice, he is still very pragmatic.

It can even be put another way, the person is very bad in the mouth, but the body is very honest!

Of course, this kind of slander can only stop in Hu Chuquan's heart, the difference between the two identities and strengths is too big, not to mention Gongsun Xun, even Wang Rou, the messenger, he has to be respectful and serve as a pro-Laozi...... Don't say it, when Wang Rou was the general of the Huns, he really had a good relationship with Hu Chuquan's father, and then Wang Rou stepped down and returned home to teach, and Hu Chuquan's father Qiang Qu first became a Xiongnu Shan Yu in a daze, and died in the Xiongnu civil strife, which can be regarded as impermanence.

Then, for an elder like Wang Rou who does have a relationship, no one will look down on the filial piety he shows.

In this way, no matter what, Hu Chuquan's envoy was a great success, and Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang were not only excited but also treated Wang Rou with special courtesy, as for Xi Zhong's move to the south to pick up people, this strange warlord combination did not have any reason to object...... In fact, they wished that Gongsun Yue and Lu Zhi would come over soon! It is best to take the lead of Lianbo County and escort Gongsun Yue's Cheng Lian, and it is best to go over!

Of course, it is estimated that there are 2,000 people together with Cheng Lianjia, and now that Gongsun Xun is in Taiyuan County in the north, Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang really dare not let people go. Therefore, the two sides agreed to let Gongsun Yue and Lu Zhi take He Jin's family to Taiyuan first, 'wait for a while', and then discuss the stay of Cheng Lian and Zhao.

In other words, the speed of a large army and a small army, as well as the movement of a single horse, is not the same thing...... When Xi Zhong took Lu Zhi, Gongsun Yue, and dozens of family members of He Jin, and even the teacher Le Yin, who led the recruitment, into Shangdang along the Qinshui, and crossed the Sheep's Head Mountain to Shangdang County's Changzi County, Gongsun Xun and his army just marched to Jiexiu and came to the Boundary Mountain and another Sheep's Head Mountain.

Yes, Shangdang has two sheepshead mountains, one is in the south of Changzi County, and together with Huguan in the east of Changzi County, it locks the Shangdang Basin, and the other is at the junction of Shangdang and Taiyuan County, which is far away from the boundary mountain of Taiyuan Jiexiu, but together with Nie County on the main passage of the Shangdang Basin, it locks the north of the Shangdang Basin...... Two wild mountains with dangerous terrain, one south and one north, protect the heart of the party, but it is not interesting.

Back in front of him, Lu Zhi and Le Yin are all famous people in the world, Gongsun Yue is the brother of Gongsun Xun Xinzhong, and even He Jin is also Zhang Yang's benefactor, these people came together, how dare Yu Fuluo and Zhang Yang slack off, so they immediately set up a special banquet to entertain, and the whole process was courteous.

After the banquet, Zhang Yang gave up the county temple he occupied, and let Lu, Le, Gongsun, as well as Wang Rou before, and He Jin's family, these people stayed together, and he went to the pavilion instead.

However, when he came to the capital pavilion in the city with four or five points of drunkenness, before he had time to sleep, Zhang Yang suddenly heard a report, saying that his henchman Yang Chou suddenly rode from outside the city, and also brought a heroic man from Jiuyuan, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Rejoice, of course...... In these years, it is about a township relationship, but Yunzhong, where Zhang Yang was born, is one of the four counties of Hetao, and the population is sparse, even if the four counties add together, there are only tens of thousands of people, and it is rare to see an old man.

In fact, before in Luoyang, he had a close relationship with Lu Bu, and when he was away, it was rare for the villagers to be old, and it was impossible not to have a sense of closeness.

And this time, the Hetao fellow brought by Yang Chou is really an acquaintance.

"I've seen Zhang Taishou!" Cheng Lian followed Yang Chou into the pavilion, unhurried, and proudly surrendered.

Cheng Lian has been stationed in Pingcheng for many years, Zhang Yang was born in the clouds, but he went to be a state official, how can he not recognize the other party? So, they hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and greet them, and then sat down together.

But as soon as he spoke, Zhang Yang looked a little helpless: "I thought that Cheng Sima was still guarding the Taihang Mountain Pass in the south with the county commander in Bo County, but he didn't want to sneak here suddenly...... See each other in private, but what's the matter? As long as it's not a problem, I'll do my best. ”

"Zhang Fujun thinks too much." Cheng Lian also laughed for a while. "I'm a martial artist, shy as General Wei's minions, where can there be any difficulties? It's just that he was entrusted by someone to ask Zhang Fujun to see one more person. ”

Zhang Yang Wenyan looked at Yang Chou, who was just curious, and looked at Cheng Lian, who looked calm, but he was not in a hurry to ask the person the other party wanted to introduce, but asked another thing: "The world is in turmoil, everyone has their own ambitions, Cheng Sima and General Wei are so far apart, and they haven't seen each other for many years, why are they still loyal and consider themselves minions?" ”

"When you are born in the world, you have self-knowledge." Cheng Lian said with emotion. "On my side, I can meet a master who has clear rewards and punishments, and can give his family a place to live in peace, why think about anything else?"

Zhang Yang bowed his head slowly, and then stopped pursuing: "Then dare to ask Cheng Sima, the person you said you want to see me, but General Wei's subordinates, are loyal to the drama Zhicai?" ”

Cheng Lian smiled dumbly, but he bowed his head easily, and Yang Chou was also stunned when he saw this.

"It's not that I can pinch it," Zhang Yang reluctantly explained to Yang Chou. "It's because Cheng Sima thinks that General Wei is a minion, and he goes around to you in circles and covers up, and the person who wants to talk to me must be the heartfelt person on General Wei's side, and today's banquet, only that Mr. Xi is not strong enough to drink, so he 'rests' halfway through."

Yang Chou suddenly realized.

"Where's Mr. Drama?" Zhang Yangfu turned to Cheng Lian again. "I'll change into civilian clothes and go see him."

"Right outside the door." Cheng Lian is honest and honest.

Zhang Yang gasped: "In this way, I am a little timid." ”

"It's just a matter of seeing and listening." Cheng Lian persuaded reluctantly. "Zhang Fujun doesn't look at the face of our fellow villagers, but also think about my family's love for the sword gift that day, right?"

Zhang Yang was silent, but Yang Chou knew that his boss had always been generous, so he simply went out to pick up the Mr. Drama who was in front of the door.

And sure enough, even if his subordinates rebelled, Zhang Taishou would only cry and blame himself, but did not stop it, but took the initiative to stand in the door.

"Zhang Fujun!" Xi Zhong was dressed in black clothes, walked in, and then went straight to the point. "My prince wants to exchange a large county for the party, and I also ask Zhang Fujun to promise."

Zhang Yang originally wanted to invite the other party to sit down, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Mr. Zhicai, don't be joking, where did General Wei come from Dajun to replace the party?" And it's ridiculous to exchange counties for counties. ”

Xi Zhong chuckled lightly and opened his mouth to speak.

At this time, Zhang Yang had already woken up again: "Didn't you mean Hedong? Let me go to Hedong, and then General Wei will take the party? But although Hedong is good, there are 100,000 Baibo bandits, and I have only a few thousand soldiers and horses. But if General Wei breaks the Baibo bandits and takes Hedong, how can he exchange with me for nothing? Hedong is rich, and lives in Chang'an and Luoyang, and the natural shape wins, but the party is ...... Mr. Zhicai, don't scold me! ”

"It's not Hedong." Xi Zhong was not in a hurry, he just stood in the door and easily revealed the mystery. "It's Hanoi!"

Zhang Yang instinctively felt ridiculous, more ridiculous than Hedong, but just about to open his mouth to refute it, he was actually stunned.

"Zhang Fujun probably thought of it too, right?" Xi Zhong smiled lightly in response. "Wang Kuang of Hanoi, who wantonly tortured the county before, has already lost the hearts of the people in Hanoi; Then Xiao Pingjin was defeated, and there were no soldiers and horses; is a little Shilin fame, but also because he was forced by Yuan Shao to kill his brother-in-law, one of the eight chefs, Jin Wu Hu Wuban, and became rootless water...... Therefore, if Zhang Fujun leads his troops south, he has a county order to make way at Taihang Pass, which can be easily replaced. Moreover, the richness of Hanoi, even if it can only occupy half of the county led by Wang Kuang, is much better than you dividing half a county with the Huns in a place like Shangdang, right? ”

The other three people in the room, Yang Chou suddenly realized, Cheng Lian's face did not move, but Zhang Yang shook his head slowly.

"Zhang Fujun, I came here today with the sincerity of General Wei, otherwise I wouldn't have waited until Duke Lu and his party arrived here before speaking, if you have any doubts, please come and come, I will be honest." Xi Zhong seemed to have expected it.

"Hanoi is good, but how can it be easy to gain a foothold?" Zhang Yang said helplessly.

"Wang Kuang is in Hanoi, relying on the strength of the soldiers and horses, doing a lot of evil, and losing the hearts of the people, while Zhang Fujun, although you are in the party, although there are only four or five thousand soldiers, the base is only half of the county, and you have to share it equally with Yu Fuluo, but you have never forgotten your duty...... It is already remarkable that the Shangdang was able to protect half of the county under the attack of the White Wave Thieves and the Black Mountain Thieves. Hanoi and Shangdang are neighboring counties, and the people of Hanoi are not blind, why don't you want to protect the territory and the people? As for Taishou...... You can also watch yourself, let General Wei come to watch, and find Yuan Shao to watch! How to say that you can't get a foothold? ”

"Since it comes to Yuan Cheqi, then don't mention anything else, just say that Yuan Cheqi is also in Hanoi, how can he tolerate me?"

"Yuan Shao can tolerate Wang Kuang, why can't he tolerate Zhang Fujun?"

"Mr. Zhicai is so sincere, I can't help but explain." Zhang Yang finally confided an important message. "You don't know, in fact, the reason why I was stunned just now was that Yingchuan Xin Zhongzhi, the curtain of Yuan Cheqi, had come to me and had specifically mentioned this matter...... What he meant at that time was to wait for General Wei to start a war with the Baibo bandits, and when the Boxian people also crossed the Shangdang and went to Taiyuan, let me lead troops south to attack Wang Kuang...... In other words, Yuan Cheqi's intention to annex Hanoi by himself is already obvious, and he should force Wang Taishou to kill his brother-in-law, I am afraid that it is to eliminate his last prestige. ”

"So what?" Xi Zhong sneered. "It's not that I don't know about Xin Zhongzhi's coming to the party, but let me ask Zhang Fujun, since Wang Kuang has become an empty shell, why didn't Yuan Cheqi simply annex it directly?"

"For the sake of fame, I suppose?" Zhang Yang speculated slightly.

"It's even more because Hanoi is facing Luoyang, and the war comes first...... He didn't dare to easily lead troops to deal with this person, lest he be caught by the Xiliang army on the other side of the river and hit a falling flower! "Xi Zhong said it in one word." In other words, as long as Zhang Fujun has soldiers and horses in hand, the enemy is current, Yuan Benchu will not risk attacking you. I'm afraid Zhang Fujun doesn't know yet, I also went to Boxian County to understand, in fact, Wang Kuang over there also understands his situation, but he also let his cronies go back to Taishan's hometown to recruit soldiers, as long as the soldiers and horses come back, even Yuan Shao can't easily dispose of him in front of Dong Zhuo! And Zhang Fujun, you are also going to miss the opportunity! ”

Zhang Yang suddenly realized, but on the contrary, he grasped a key point: "Since Hanoi is in front of Dong Zhuo, Wang Kuang's more than 10,000 people are easily defeated, and I have only 5,000 soldiers and horses, how can I gain a foothold in Hanoi?" ”

"Isn't Lu Bu an old friend of Zhang Fujun?" Xi Zhong chuckled softly.

"Therefore, the word "handover" may save my life, but how can I survive?" Zhang Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Zhang Fujun!" Xi Zhong sighed, and then suddenly stared at the other party with his hands and sneered. "Don't you understand? In Hanoi, you can still save your life; In Shangdang, you may not have this luck! ”

Zhang Yang and Yang Chou immediately changed color, and the latter finally couldn't help but interject and ask: "What does Mr. Zhicai mean?" ”

"Nothing else!" Xi Zhong changed his face and replied awe-inspiringly. "The prince of my family has no ill will towards Zhang Fujun, but because of the harassment of the Xiongnu and the north, he is angry with Fuluo, and he always wants to take advantage of Fuluo and use his name to completely clean up the Xiongnu. Therefore, if Zhang Fujun responds to this matter, he will naturally have no worries; If not, my prince would have no choice but to march from Nie County and personally come to talk to Zhang Fujun and Yu Fuluo! ”

For this kind of negotiation, it is nothing more than coercion and inducement...... Therefore, once this statement came out, the effect was remarkable, Zhang Yang and Yang Chou looked at each other, and they couldn't speak for a while.

And the two looked at each other for a long time, but it was Yang Chou who took the lead in speaking: "Fu Jun might as well think about it again." ”

"Is General Wei going to swallow Fuluo?" Zhang Yang was also a momentary chatter.

As soon as these words came out, Xi Zhong, who already had some understanding of Zhang Yang's character in advance, knew it in his heart...... I'm afraid things have already become seventy or eighty percent!

So, the person immediately changed his appearance and tried his best to persuade again: "Zhang Fujun, in fact, I was going to persuade you...... Think about it, as a Taishou of the Han family, but you have to rely on a group of Huns to control the place, is this a long-term strategy? What will the world think of you? And this time when he went south to Hanoi, he not only changed to a rich place, but also took the opportunity to get rid of Uvlo. ”

"But after all, Yu Fuluo helped me settle down in the party, and I can't bear to fight with it!" Zhang Yang almost pleaded. "Mr. Zhicai, think about it, if Yu Fuluo sees me leaving, how can he give up easily?"

Xi Zhong couldn't help laughing again: "There is no need to fight, as long as Zhang Fujun does three things...... You can fight without blood, and the above party will change Hanoi! ”

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Yang Chou couldn't wait: "Dare to ask sir, what are the three things?" ”

"One of them." Xi Zhong looked at Yang Chou and said easily. "The idea is to coax Yu Fuluo to lead his main force to Nirvana County."

"It's easy." Yang Chou couldn't help but say easily. "Second?"

"The second is simpler." Xi Zhong continued. "Second, let Cheng Sima go south with your headquarters, then the county commander will get out of the way of the road to Hanoi in the south, and you can directly use Bo County as a base, lead troops south, and attack where Wang Kuang is...... At that time, Cheng Sima and Lian County Ling will also come to take over Huguan and the eldest son. ”

Yang Chou became more and more overjoyed: "This is really simple...... But is that all there is to it? Thirdly? ”

"Three." Xi Zhong lowered his head and chuckled. "I also ask Zhang Fujun to withdraw the two men and horses in North Sheep's Head Mountain in advance, and let thousands of soldiers of my family enter the party from the small road, and cut off the retreat of Nie County...... At that time, the back road will be blocked, and in front of me is Taiyuan County, where my army's army is located, and most of them are cavalry, so they can't hold on, so what else can they do except surrender? ”

Yang Chou was stunned for a moment: "It's so simple? ”

"Isn't it easy to be simple?" Xi Zhong sneered and asked.

"If that's the case...... Yang Chou didn't know what to say, but he looked at Zhang Yang again.

And Zhang Yang sighed: "It's just a little emotional, General Wei is worthy of being the Shaodong of the Amway, and he has a good deal...... It turned out to be someone else's big county in exchange for the party, and asked me to be a wicked person to sell Yu Fuluo. ”

"If you really exchange it for your own, does Zhang Fujun dare to change it? As for the wicked, didn't Yuan Shao also let Zhang Fujun be the wicked? Xi Zhong didn't think so, and then, the person who had been standing in the door simply gave his leave. Tomorrow, if Zhang Fujun will send Fuluo to Nixian County, I will agree as a Fujun. If not, please ask Zhang Fujun to take down our group as soon as possible, and the prince of my family in the province will come in, and you thousands of soldiers and horses recruited from the north will not even have a hostage to protect your life! ”

After saying that, he turned around and retreated directly, and Cheng Lian also bowed his hand slightly, and followed Xi Zhong into the twilight.

Not to mention how Zhang Yang and Yang Chou spoke and discussed in the pavilion, on this side, Cheng Lian and Xi Zhong came outside, pretending to be Yang Chou's subordinates, and went out of the city to avoid the eyes and ears of the Huns...... And finally got out of the city, but Cheng Lian couldn't help but say more.

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhicai." Cheng Lian asked earnestly on the horse. "This Yang is so indecisive, and he can't even restrain his subordinates like Yang Chou, and he only has thousands of soldiers and horses, but why does he always want to divide one side between our prince and Yuan Shao and start his own career? There is also a small number of Huns in Yufuluo, who are also only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and they do not return to the hometown of the Meiji royal court, and they always want to stay in the south to watch the situation; It is Wang Kuang, this person now has no soldiers, no generals, no virtue and no hope, but he still doesn't want to let go...... Why bother?! ”

"This is the so-called troubled times, dragons and snakes rise together." Next to him, Xi Zhong didn't feel the slightest doubt. "Some people are loyal, some are brave, some are naturally short-sighted, some are self-righteous, some are involuntarily, and some are simply unwilling...... Anyway, this is the way of the world. In fact, if everyone is aware of current affairs, it is even more strange......"

"What's the strange?" Cheng Lian became more and more curious.

"Think about it," Xi Zhong said with a slight sigh. "If everyone knows the current affairs, then since Shang Tang, there should not be a trend of Ding Revolution, isn't it still in the Xia Dynasty now?"

Cheng Lian looked dazed.

"Let's put it another way." Seeing this, Xi Zhong smiled. "If everyone knew the current affairs, Gaozu should be honest in Hanzhong back then, and Guangwu should also be honest from Wang Mang, today our princes should also stay in Liaoxi honestly, and not be an enemy of Dong Xiangguo!"

Cheng Lian seemed to understand whether he understood or not, thinking about it, but he became more and more at a loss.

Silent all night, early the next morning, Yu Fuluo, who was drunk by Gongsun Yue the night before, had not yet gotten up, but was suddenly visited by Zhang Yang in person.

"Reinforcement of Nie County?" Yu Furo was in a trance for a while. "Why? Isn't our peace with General Wei now a foregone conclusion? ”

"You can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." Zhang Yang said solemnly. "The more foregone a thing is, the more careful you must beware...... Shan Yu, your troops are mostly cavalry, and you can take the opportunity to increase the troops in Nie County under the banner of escorting Lu Gong and Gongsun Yue, while I will withdraw the troops of Nie County, but in fact, I will secretly send them to Beiyangtou Mountain to be armed, so that you can have no worries...... When Lu Gong and the others arrived in Taiyuan safely, and then General Wei did send troops to Hedong and fought against the white wave thieves, why not come back? ”

In other words, if it were someone else, it would be fine, but Uncle Zhang Zhi, a person with a benevolent and weak personality, has been in the party for half a year, and has always only oppressed Yu Fuluo, but there is no time when he takes advantage of Yu Fuluo.

So......

"Zhang Taishou is thoughtful." After a moment's thought, he couldn't help but sigh and nodded. "That being the case, see me off today, and I will personally lead the troops to Nie County for a trip!"

—————I'm the dividing line for a trip—————

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos, and the heroes rose together. If Dong Zhuo, Er Yuan, Han, Ma, Zhang Yang, Liu Biao, Tao Qian's disciples, and the state and county, there are more than 10,000 people, and between them, they all claim to be Han Zu can heel, Huan, Wen Yimai, in vain ridiculous. —The Dictionary.
