Cheng Yun is different from Zhang Ke, his subordinates are all soldiers arranged by himself, and there is no need to mention the loyalty, the key is that they are all together, one order to go down, go directly to the battle, and there is no drag.

Along the way, whether it is Hongnong and other counties, or Sanfu, they have provided convenience for Cheng Yun's army to move forward, Cheng Yun did not bring any dry food with him on this expedition, and ate the stored grain of the town all the way, Gu Yong had already reached a consensus with Xun and Shisun Rui, and Cheng Yun did not have to worry about logistics support at all.

When I arrived in Chang'an, I saw Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen looked at the 130,000 people under Cheng Yun's command, and was amazed, "I didn't expect your Cheng Wenying's reputation to be so good in the land of Sanfu, as soon as you recruit troops, so many strong men of Sanfu follow you, which is too much stronger than me and Huangfu Yizhen." ”

"Don't you dare." Cheng Yun still has to be modest, "It's because of your good education Zhang Sili, and there will be such an atmosphere in the implementation of morality and politics." Shouldn't the people be grateful to their parents for their patriotism? ”

Zhang Wen laughed, commercial touting has been a custom since ancient times, hearing Cheng Yun's exaggerated statement, Zhang Wen hurriedly interrupted him, and was listened to by others, do you want to lose face to the two?

"This expedition to Liangzhou, 130,000 troops, claimed to be 200,000, may not be able to completely solve the Liangzhou problem." Zhang Wen is a veteran, and he has been doing things in the west for many years, and he knows Xiliang very well, "First of all, the biggest problem in Xiliang is the historical legacy between the Han and Qiang ethnic groups, for millions of Qiang people, these 130,000 soldiers may not be able to occupy a significant advantage, don't be careless." ”

Seeing that Cheng Yun was humbly taught, Zhang Wen continued to instruct, "Besides, it's not the first time that Han Sui and Ma Teng have been divided and reunited, if the pressure on them is too great, it will definitely lead to the two reconciling again, this is something that needs to be paid attention to in advance, but seeing your demeanor, at least you should have thought about this matter?" ”

Cheng Yun nodded, "What Brother Bo Shen said is extremely true, these two issues must be paid attention to, and the second Han Sui problem, we have thought about it, so even if Han Sui asks for help, we will not go to meet Han Sui, but just attack Ma Teng to avoid being yin by Han Sui's old bastard." ”

"As for the second question," Cheng Yun paused, "until I fully understand the needs of the Qiang people, I don't have any way to solve the possible problems, I can only take one step at a time." After all, because of the problem of geographical environment, the Qiang people can not be treated the same as the Wuhuan, it is unrealistic to send troops to recruit people from the Qiang tribe in depth, and there is no way to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Seeing Zhang Wen's worried face, Cheng Yun smiled, "Don't worry, even if I am stupid, Gongda Zhongde will not be stupid." These peoples on horseback all advocate wolf nature, do not hurt or fear, will not obey us, they only worship the strong. ”

Zhang Wen hummed and agreed, "It's good to say that the grain is good, Dasi Nong's approval has been sent to me, and it is ready, but you want 500,000 arrows, which is too much, no, only 300,000, and the remaining fraction will be kept for me in case of accidents." ”

Cheng Yun didn't care about this, "I also hope that Boshen will bother more, whether the brothers are hungry or not depends on whether Boshen can have enough ability to ensure our food supply." ”

Originally, Cheng Yun's demand for bows and arrows was very high, but since Chang'an didn't have it, he couldn't let them conjure it up, so it was better not to show his emotions, so he could only let it go

The family is embarrassed, so that the two sides are estranged.

Coming out of Chang'an, Cheng Yun led the army to take Qi County, which was at the junction of Anding County, Beidi County and Sili Lieutenant Department, which had been occupied by Ma Teng before, but since Zhu was defeated, Zhang Wen Gaixun and others did not do nothing, at least the entire territory of Sili was recovered.

The Qi County Guard is Zhang Wen's confidant, named Zhang Han, who is very respectful to Cheng Yun, although he is Zhang Wen's brother, but in front of Cheng Yun, this identity has no effect at all, at best, it allows him to get closer to Cheng Yun.

After resting for a night in Qi County, Cheng Yun also repeatedly instructed Zhang Han to guard Qi County, if Qi County was lost, his 130,000 army would have to fight to support the war, in case it was cleared by the strong wall, retreat was probably the only way.

The next day, Cheng Yun and others just left Qi County, so they summoned the people of Qi County to dig a trench, refused to get off the horse, and applied to Zhang Wen for additional defenders to ensure the safety of Qi County.

Of course, Cheng Yun didn't know that Zhang Han was so cautious, if he knew, he wouldn't mind helping Zhang Wen promote his clan brother when he came back.

Entering Anding County, I obviously feel that there is something different from Sanfu here, it may be barren, it may be the dress of the people, the structure of the houses, no matter what, Cheng Yun is becoming more and more formal This march.

The soldiers are fast, this is what Cheng Yun has always advocated, and the soldiers under his command also understand, so they are slow and leisurely in the time of Sanfu, and from the moment they settle down, they suddenly speed up, even if they are foot soldiers, they don't complain, and the army arrived outside the city of Quail County in half a day.

The guard of Quail County turned out to be Cheng Yun's old acquaintance, which Cheng Yun didn't expect, it was Pang Pang Gonghe.

Pang never intended to work for Ma Teng, so he has always resisted Ma Teng to occupy stability, but there is no one under him, Dang Xiang Qiang Li culture has an old relationship with him, but after Zhu died, Dang Xiang Qiang must have helped the Qiang people, so it is no surprise that Li Wenhua and Ma Teng are in cahoots again.

Therefore, Pang could only retreat while fighting, and retreated to the southernmost part of Anding County, Quail County, and further south was the territory of the Sili Captain's Department. Fortunately, Ma Teng's focus was on Han Sui, not on Pang, but on the Qiang people themselves, so that Pang Gou could survive until now.

Cheng Yun still has a trace of appreciation for this young man, and can only say that after Zhang Huan died, he never had the ability to control his children and grandchildren, so Zhu relied on the identity of an old friend to recruit all Zhang Huan's disciples and children under his command, Pang and the others didn't say that they had to go against Cheng Yun or anything, but they couldn't refuse Zhu back then.

So Cheng Yun decisively proposed a solicitation to Pang, but he was very embarrassed, and was scolded by Pang Yitong, but Cheng Yun didn't care much, because the scolding was too elegant, and it was only aimed at Cheng Yun himself, flashy, and couldn't attract Cheng Yun to ridicule him.

Cheng Yun doesn't care, he can, but Xu Huang can't care.

Cheng Yun's promotion of Xu Huang made the Yellow Turban brothers very hot, especially Zhang Sheng and Chu Yan, who said that Xu Huang had shit luck and could be appreciated by Cheng Yun like this.

Xu Huang was born in Hedong as the name suggests, just a small official, and there was no one under him, so when Bai Bo and Huang Turban just entered Kou Hedong, he left his post and was ready to work in a different place.

But he'll see you on the road

When the Yellow Turban Thieves bullied the women, they couldn't see it, so they rescued the women and killed a few Yellow Turban thieves, but they were surrounded by hundreds of people, and they didn't have any weapons in their hands, so they almost died, and it was Yang Feng who relieved him in time.

Yang Feng had great ambitions in his heart, and when he saw Xu Huang's martial arts, he had the intention of soliciting, anyway, it was Han Xian's people who bullied women, and it was not his own, so he decisively let his subordinates deal with these people, saved Xu Huang, and personally went up to apologize, looking like he was enough.

Of course, Xu Huang was grateful for Yang Feng's kindness, but he didn't expect that there was such a master in the yellow scarf, so he followed Yang Feng.

After Yang Feng learned about Xu Huang's ability, he was very happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and basically handed over the things in his hands to Xu Huang to deal with, Xu Huang did not live up to his expectations, and handled it in an orderly manner, when Cheng Yun and others visited Yang Feng at night, they had their first meeting with Cheng Yun, and it was already the first year of Guangxi at that time, and it was five years later than Chu Yan and Zhang Sheng, who knew Cheng Yun five years later.

Xu Huang followed Yang Feng to be recruited and directly entered Cheng Yun's army, at this time he was just a lieutenant under the captain Yang Feng, compared to Chu Yan and others, the identity was much worse, but in the first battle of Liang County, Xu Huang was in danger and beheaded Zu Mao, and was appreciated by Cheng Yun and named him to take over Yang Feng's army, at this time Xu Huang began to emerge.

Xu Huang is calm, well-trained, strong in martial arts, and soon mingles with the generals of the Xiyuan Army, often discussing the martial arts military array, Hua Xiong and others are full of praise for him, Cheng Yun also understood, so he decided to hand over the hussar army to him to command, before Cheng Yun liked Xu Rong more, but Xu Rong also felt that Xu Huang was more suitable for this position, so he gave it to Xu Huang.

Anyway, Xu Rong is in the position above others under Huang Zhong in the Xiyuan Army, and in a few years, the veteran Huang Zhong will go to retire, and the Xiyuan Army is not stronger than the Hussars? The captain of the military academy can be called the commander of the whole thing!

Cheng Yun didn't know what Xu Rong was thinking, but he felt that Xu Rong was indeed highly conscious, if he knew what Xu Rong thought, he wouldn't have to die in front of Xu Rong with laughter, and wait for Huang Zhong to be too old to fight? Then you can wait.

Therefore, under the influence of various factors, Xu Huang became the leader of the hussars, and was also promoted to the official position of Fengche Commander, which is an official position as big as the Captain of the Horse, and in this era when generals are not permanent (like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who do not count their own seals) is already a great military position.

Xu Huang thanked Cheng Yun for Yang Feng and everything he had done for himself, and he had always thought that Cheng Yun was proud of sharing his worries, and when he heard that Pang was disrespectful, he decisively asked for battle, Cheng Yun looked at the lazy appearance of Cheng Zhi Tianyu behind him, which was in stark contrast to the steadiness of the Huangfu brothers, and was very speechless, "Then please Gongming." ”

Xu Huang also noticed that Cheng Zhitian Yu was not interested in attacking the city, so he sent the Huangfu Li Department as the vanguard to attack the city, supervise the army to suppress the formation, and attack again in the second wave.

Xu Huang's siege was very methodical, but in fact it was a bit redundant, there were only less than 2,000 people under Pang, and 20,000 people under Huangfu Li and Xu Huang, wearing new-style armor, the previous conventional distance bow and arrow could no longer pass through the armor leaf, just an hour, the quail county was taken, and Pang Li died in battle.

Cheng Yun exhaled and praised Xu Huang, who took the lead, it was Xu Huang who bravely climbed the city and seriously injured Pang with four swords that made this siege so simple.

"We'll stay at the quail until tomorrow morning, Zhongde, you go and check the quail's ordnance, grain and grass, and bring everything you can."
