When Beigong Yan interrogated the captives, Liu Zhang also went to the territory of Gaonu County.

Gaonu County is a small county with a population of less than 3,000 people, most of whom live in the dilapidated county seat. It turned out that the county town of Gaonu had been broken by the Xiongnu several times and suffered a catastrophe, so the city was unusually dilapidated. Several county commanders have repeatedly written letters requesting troops to be stationed and transfer funds to repair the city defenses, but since Emperor Ling, the national power of the Han Dynasty has been declining, and there is no time to take care of the remote and sparsely populated Gaonu County, and the local county decree is put on the shelf. When the last county commander died at the hands of the Xiongnu eight years ago, the court appointed a new county commander several times, but anyone who heard that he had been appointed with a Gaonu county commander or bribed his boss with money to ask for the revocation of the order; or called the disease shirk; or simply threw off the official uniform, printed the letter and fled without a trace...... The post of county magistrate of Gaonu County has been empty for eight years, and Gaonu County seems to have been erased from the territory of the Han Dynasty, and no one cares anymore.

In the past eight years, Gaonu County has been plundered by the Xiongnu five times, in the first year, the Xiongnu broke through the city defense twice, once in the second year, did not come in the third year, once in the fourth year, and broke through the city again in the seventh year. The frequency is getting lower and lower, not because the Huns have changed their temperament, but there is really nothing to grab in the county, and the labor expedition has nothing to gain, for them, this business will lose the capital, of course, no one wants to do the loss-making business, and the natural one will come less and less.

At this time, the reputation of Gaonu County is not obvious, but later generations are famous, in later generations, in today's Gaonu County, there is a great city, that is known as the red and blue Yan'an!

Because of the relationship between his parents, Liu Zhang has always had respect for Yan'an and yearns for it, but due to his personality, he has hardly ever walked out of the house, and the only time he traveled far away made him back to 1,800 years ago. When he came to the land that came to be known as Yan'an in another capacity, he tried to find the scenery that he had only seen in photographs and videos 1,800 years later......

Xu Chu and the others who were guarding around were very curious, why did their lord keep looking left and right after arriving at this barren land, as if he was looking for something, and his emotions suddenly became very excited, they followed Liu Zhang's eyes and saw that there was nothing but loess, is it because his lord has never been to the north and is very curious about the loess slope?

After 1,800 years of geological changes, wind and rain erosion, and hard work, the terrain and landforms are earth-shattering.

Liu Zhang had to dispel the idea of continuing to search, thinking about whether to wait for the day when Gao Nu was really occupied, and change his name to Yan'an?

The escort captives and the Qiang soldiers and Liu Zhang were facing each other, so the road of one day was completed in only half a day.

After listening to the report, Liu Zhang secretly screamed in his heart like Beigong Yan that it was not good, and he called Xun You, Man Chong, Chen Gong, Shan Fu, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, Gao Shun, Guan Yu and others to interrogate carefully for more than an hour.

After the captives were escorted down, Liu Zhang looked at everyone: "Everyone, do you think their words are credible?" ”

Man Zhong was the first to say: "Back to the lord, looking at his words and deeds, it doesn't seem to be a fake, and his subordinates think that their words are extremely credible." ”

Liu Zhang said: "Is there any reason for Berning? ”

Full of favor said: "Back to the princess, the subordinates thought that it was impossible for Dong Zhuo not to see the wounded soldiers in his army satisfied with the camp, the marching speed was slow and slow, once caught up by our army, it would be a dead end, Dong Zhuo was extremely cunning and ruthless, his subordinates thought that he was very likely to sacrifice some soldiers, use them as bait to mislead our army, and make our army go astray, so as to give him time to escape, and when we caught up and eliminated this suspicious army, when we learned the truth, Dong Zhuo had already fled!" ”

Liu Zhang looked at everyone and said, "What do you think? ”

"The subordinates (the last general) agree with Berning's words!" Everyone said in unison.

Liu Zhang secretly thought about Dong Zhuo, or Li Ru, he must have noticed that Beigong Yan had two hearts, and deliberately let him stay to contain himself a little, and told Beigong Yan the next plan of action of the Western Liang Army without scruples, and when Beigong Yan surrendered to him, Beigong Yan would inevitably tell Dong Zhuo's actions and distort it, so as to mislead himself. Then use Jingshui to block the spies, and immediately ordered part of the cavalry to go north along the avenue after the army disappeared from the eyes of the spies, Dong Zhuo, in order to ensure safety, did not tell them his ultimate goal, but coaxed them, telling them that they were only the vanguard of the army, and the main force was behind them. These poor soldiers did not know until they died that they had been abandoned by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's strategy really worked, because Beigong Yan's words made Liu Zhang preconceived, and after crossing Jingshui, Liu Zhang found traces of Dong Zhuo's army going north, and he was eager to catch up with Dong Zhuo without thinking about it carefully, and inevitably fell into the trap carefully set by Dong Zhuo.

Liu Zhang secretly blamed himself for being too carried away, and said, "Do you think that since Dong Zhuo didn't go north, where will he go?" ”

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "Lord, since Dong Zhuo didn't go north, will he return to Chang'an and recapture the empty garrison of Chang'an?" ”

Guan Yu listened to Zhang Fei's words, and said quite confidently: "If this is the best, there are 10,000 elite soldiers in Chang'an City, and although Dong Zhuo has 70,000 troops, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers who can fight. ”

Zhang Fei patted the back of his head and said, "That's right, Chang'an has the second brother's elite soldiers stationed, what is the difference between Dong Zhuo going to fight Chang'an and killing himself!" ”

Yan Pu said with some hesitation: "Then...... Will he go to the east and vote for Lu Bu? ”

Man Chong shook his head and said: "Back then, Lu Bu once recognized Dong Zhuo as his father-in-law, and then the two of them fought each other, fighting each other with swords and soldiers, never dying, and their hatred against each other was as deep as the vast sea. Dong Zhuo was arrogant, and it was unlikely that he would be embarrassed to go to Lu Bu, who had groveled in front of him in the past, he couldn't stand this humiliation. And he still has to think about it, even if he sincerely votes for Lu Bu, can Lu Bu let him go? Lu Bu is a person who will be revenged, wouldn't he fall into the net when he went to Lu Bu? ”

Gong Du said angrily: "Then where can he go?" Our nearly 100,000 horses have traveled all the way, even an ant can distinguish between male and female, but we haven't seen any trace of Dong Zhuojun, these tens of thousands of people can't disappear in vain! ”

Liu Zhang glared at Gong Du and said, "Since Dong Zhuo has the intention to avoid us, how can it be easy for us to find traces, not to mention that our army has been walking along the main road, and Dong Zhuo will immediately drill into which fork in the road will make us go in the opposite direction, and it is normal to find it!" ”

"Does the lord mean that Dong Zhuo is still near Jingshui?" Gong Duxi said.

Liu Zhang glanced at Gong Du and was speechless for him.

Gong Du also found that his question was too stupid, and scratched his head embarrassedly, staying in Jingshui? Unless Dong Zhuo's brain burns out!

Gong Du's mentality was not bad, and he soon said casually: "That...... Desperate things will be done at the end, and this brain-wielding thing is still left to the lord and gentlemen! Hehe, we're just a rough man, we only have a little brute force, and we just need to hand over the strength to the last general......"

Liu Zhang shook his head, ignored Gong Du, and turned to Jia Xu, who knew Dong Zhuo best: "Wenhe, where do you think Dong Zhuo will go?" ”

Jia Xu saluted respectfully, and said slowly: "At this time, Dong Zhuo has no way out, there is an iron wall to attack Chang'an, and throwing Lu Bu is a self-defeating road, and the only place you can go is Wuwei." Duan Xuan still has 15,000 men and horses in Wuwei, and the old troops of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Wuwei County have been slaughtered, and the situation is still stable. ”

"However, Dong Zhuo didn't go north?" Zhang Fei said.

Shan Fu said: "No, we can not determine whether Dong Zhuo went north, now we only know that Dong Zhuo did not take the road of merging with the state and going north through the grassland!" However, going north to Wuwei is actually not the only way! ”

Chen Gong immediately reacted and said, "Beidi County? ”

Shan Fu nodded and said, "Yes, Northland County!" Strictly speaking, Dong Zhuo went north to Wuwei and went to Beidi County is the most convenient choice! ”

Chen Gong said: "But General Wei has already captured most of Anding, and Beidi County is already under the edge of General Wei, Dong Zhuo is not afraid of being intercepted by General Wei when he goes to Beidi County?" ”

Shan Fu said: "Of course he will be worried, but don't forget, walking on the grassland may face an attack by 100,000 Hun cavalry, and its danger is no lower than going north!" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said: "Yes, since Dong Zhuo has tried his best to lead our army to the grassland, it means that his goal is still in the Northland, and the distance between the Northland County can be shortened by one-third, and the time required is the same, as long as Dong Zhuo moves quickly, it is very likely to pass through the Northland County before the Wei Commander reacts, even if the Wei Commander has already attacked the Northland County at this time, but the Wei Commander has limited troops, and there are as many counties as many as the places that need to be controlled, and I am afraid that there will not be too many soldiers and horses that can be used on the first line of the Northland, even if it is intercepted, Dong Zhuojun, who was anxious to escape, also had a good chance of breaking through the fragile defense line of Commander Wei! ”

Zhang Fei shouted, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's just cut into Beidi County and intercept Dong Zhuo's way? ”

Full of favor said: "If Dong Zhuo really goes to Wuwei in the north, the distance is much lower than that of our army, and Dong Zhuojun knows the terrain of Xiliang, it is easy to avoid danger, we are in a daze, our army has lost the opportunity, and when it is interspersed in place, Dong Zhuo has already arrived in Wuwei!" ”

"No, if you let Dong Zhuo go at this time, there will be no doubt that the tiger will return to the mountain!" Liu Zhang said: "In any case, we must be rerouted into Beidi County, even if we can't intercept Dong Zhuo, we can take advantage of the situation to recover Beidi, and then suppress Wuwei, don't give Dong Zhuo a chance to breathe, and eliminate this henchman in one fell swoop!" ”

"The lord is wise...... everyone said in unison.

Liu Zhang said loudly: "Pass the order of the lone army, and the army will immediately turn to the west and cut into Beidi County!" ”

"Yes!"

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, what should Beigong Yan do?" Now there are Hun spies behind him, in case ......"

Liu Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Huaxiong, Li Dian!" ”

"The last general!" Hua Xiong and Li Dian both bowed.

"This goes to the north, all of them are the Loess Plateau, along the way the beams and valleys are undulating, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the cavalry is difficult to move, Lone ordered the two of you to lead the troops to meet Beigong Yan, after converging with Beigong Yan, you slowly withdraw and go to Cuihan to prevent Lu Bu!"

Hua Xiong bowed and said: "My lord, Dong Zhuo's strength is still there at the moment, it is Han Xin who points the troops, the more the merrier, the last general should stay and assist the lord to annihilate Dong Zhuo!" ”

"No need, Dong Zhuo is already a lost dog at this time, it is difficult to threaten, but once Beigong Yan goes deep into the grassland, it is unpredictable that the good luck will be unpredictable, since he has taken refuge in Lone, Lone can't sit back and watch him get into danger, you and Man Cheng stay to answer him!"

"Yes......" Hua Xiong had to respond.

"You immediately send spies to chase after Beigong Yan and order him to return. If the Huns attack, the three of you need to cover each other's retreat, and you must not mess up your own position, giving the enemy a chance! ”

"The last will be ordered!"

After Liu Zhang's instructions, he immediately ordered the army to march, but the direction was changed from due north to due west.
