Guo Jia did not hesitate at all, and then said: "If you want to stick to Luoyang, it is not Li Dian and Yu Ban, although they are young, they are all talented people who command the army, and they are strict in governing the army, Li Diangui is still elegant, righteous and private, and has great prestige in the army, and the two will definitely be able to stick to Luoyang if they cooperate." ”

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "Feng Xiao thought of going with me, and I also intended to let them stay in Luoyang." ”

So Cao Cao played Yu Ban as Henan Yin, partial general, Li Dian as Sima, and General Pei, and gave them 3,000 elites, so that they could lead the army to hold Luoyang, and at the right time to lead the army to Chang'an Qinwang, to win prestige and rewards for themselves.

After this, Cao Cao led his army to withdraw from Luoyang and began to prepare to attack the Tiger Prison Pass and quell the rebellion in Yanzhou.

At this time, Pei Qing naturally heard about the situation in Yanzhou, he was very happy in his heart, and even a little surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to really invite Lu Bu to Yanzhou, so that Cao Cao would definitely not be easy even if he wanted to quell the rebellion, and he could take this opportunity to deal with the Xiliang army with confidence, of course, in order to delay Cao Cao's process, Pei Qing did not forget to instruct Li Su and Lu Su to secretly help Lu Bu's forces and hinder the process of Cao Cao's forces pacifying Yanzhou, but on the surface, they did not help each other. Because Pei Qing knew that with Lu Bu's strength, he could only delay Cao Cao's time as much as possible, and if he wanted Lu Bu to destroy Cao Cao, it would be simply impossible, so Cao Cao would still be the lord of Yanzhou in the future, and he must not lose peace with his neighbors now.

"However, we can't take the situation in Yanzhou lightly, after all, Cao Cao is not very personable, Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others are the top strategists in the world, although Chen Gong is strategic, but he is not their opponent, so we must also pay close attention to the situation in Yanzhou, but there is no need to delay and postpone the plan to fight against the Xiliang army for these things at present."

Pei Qing was now completely relieved of the situation in Yanzhou, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up their march to Shang County, and be sure to capture Chang'an as quickly as possible, so that Cao Cao could blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes' plan completely ruined.

After this, the soldiers from all walks of life began to march at the speed of a rapid march to Shang County.

In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of each unit can be seen at a glance, the cavalry soldiers under the command of Youzhou Xianyu are all good hands, and the skill of controlling horses is exquisite, even if they walk on steep mountain roads, they are like walking on the ground, even the knights under Pei Qing are all hot-eyed, silently remember in their hearts, and ask them for advice whenever they have the opportunity.

Zang Ba's army is now very different from before, becoming more elite, although most of them are foot soldiers, but they are well-armed, neatly queued, orders and prohibitions, and their bearing is strict, which is also amazing.

Liu Bei's 5,000 soldiers are both on foot and on horse, all of them are excellent, and they are not much worse than Zang Ba's strong soldiers, which shows that Liu Guanzhang is also a figure who is good at governing the army and training elite soldiers.

And Kong Rong's 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers and Liu Qi's 3,000 Jingzhou soldiers are a little insufficient, although they are all veterans who survived on the battlefield, but there is a big gap in military discipline and morale compared to Zang Ba and Liu Bei's soldiers.

As for the private soldiers of Zhou Gan, Fu Qian and others, it is even more different, although it is not comparable to the militia, but it is not much stronger.

In this case, those relatively weak armies, especially Zhou Gan's pious private soldiers, could not withstand the high-intensity rapid march at all, in order to hurry, Pei Qing had to readjust the military deployment, with Kong Rong as the main general, responsible for escorting grain, grass and materials, and slowly advancing behind, while Liu Bei, Zang Ba, and Xian Yufu's army continued to rush to Shang County with Pei Qing.

At this time, it was very lively in Shangluo City, not far from Shang County, the young Zhang Xiu looked at the gathered army with some trepidation, on the one hand, he looked forward to his uncle Zhang Ji coming back to preside over the situation as soon as possible, on the other hand, he was also a little ashamed to see people, and he was shameless to face his uncle.

But in this case, his uncle Zhang Ji led his soldiers back.

"Uncle, uncle, it's all the nephew's fault, I shouldn't have listened to my uncle's instructions at the beginning, and as a result, Shang County fell, and even my aunt fell into the hands of thieves, my nephew is sorry for my uncle, and I asked my uncle to kill my nephew and ...... it with military law."

After seeing Zhang Ji coming back, Zhang Xiu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down in front of Zhang Ji, and then confessed to Zhang Ji and asked Zhang Ji to cure his crime.

Zhang Ji naturally knew that his nephew was guilty, but how could he bear to punish him? He has no children under his knees, and their old Zhang family is a single seedling, if he is killed, and once he has three longs and two shorts, then the old Zhang family will not be extinct?

So Zhang Ji pulled up Zhang Xiu and said softly: "You are my nephew, my brother entrusted you to me before he died, how could I punish you?" The reason why you are where you are today is actually my fault, it is because I have restrained you too much and not let you have sufficient experience, otherwise there would be no such thing, as for your aunt...... Alas, all this is her life, and I can't help it, but sooner or later, I will capture Chen alive and avenge her personally! By the way, tell me more about the situation at that time, because I really can't believe that our 10,000-strong army is lined up in a neat formation, and there is no strength to resist under the attack of 7,000 people on the other side. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly, and then told Zhang Ji about the scene of his 10,000 army being slaughtered by Chen Zhi's 7,000 people, that battle was his worst defeat since the battle, he was naturally unforgettable, and even so many days have passed, every time he can reproduce that scene in his dreams, in those battles he has experienced in the past, he is not saying that he will win without a battle, but after defeat, he can always sum up experience and learn lessons, so as not to lose again, but this time he is deeply desperate, and give him another chance to start over, He will definitely lose, and the end will never be better than this time, because the opponent's strength is too strong, and it is as simple and casual as an old playful boy.

"What? Why is this Chen Zhi suddenly so powerful? Zhang Ji's heart was extremely shocked after hearing this, because he dared to guarantee that Chen Zhi before this was definitely not so strong, otherwise, when the armies of the two sides faced off outside the city, Chen Zhi would have launched an attack directly, if his army had such a strong combat power at that time, it didn't matter if he was not there at all, and the outcome would not have changed much.

"It's, in fact, ......" Zhang Xiu said this, and stopped talking, but finally didn't say it.

Zhang Ji asked, "Actually, what?" You just have to say it. ”

"Actually, the generals under Pei Qing's command have become stronger than this Chen to one, my nephew once heard that Li Su, who was originally a second-rate general under Lu Bu, has now become a famous general under Pei Qing's account, and once resisted the siege of Yuan Shu's 50,000 army with a mere 10,000 troops, and finally forced Yuan Shu to retreat helplessly, with Li Su's original ability, after seeing Yuan Shu's 50,000 army, let alone resisting, it is estimated that even if he saw or even just heard so many troops, he would have already surrendered on his knees, But it's unbelievable that he has such a ability to rob now. ”

"Are you saying that Li Su's gang has also undergone a reborn change under Pei Qing's command, so he can resist Yuan Shu's army of 50,000?" When Zhang Ji heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, and after a while, he muttered: "If this is true, this Pei Qing is really terrifying, right?" What's the secret about him? How can people make such a big difference? ”
