As soon as Han Yu arrived at Shangdang Fengxian, he heard that Xinghe City had been lost, Li Le had been killed, and more than 20,000 soldiers in the city had surrendered. When Han Yu heard this, the whole person on the spot seemed to be stunned as if he had been struck by a huge thunderbolt, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately sent someone to Taiyuan to inform Guo Da in the starry night.

On the other side, the soldiers and horses of Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang are besieging the three routes, and the Baibo thieves in Yanmen and Dingxiang two counties are fighting in the wilderness outside Dingxiangshanwu. Originally, the three soldiers and horses of Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang were gaining the upper hand, but later because Liu Pi led 10,000 thieves to arrive, the morale of the white wave thieves increased greatly. This made Xihe, Wuyuan, Shuofang, the original three roads of soldiers and horses a good momentum is a plummet, Xihe, Wuyuan, Shuofang these three soldiers and horses have been defeated several times in a few days, the morale of the army plummeted, the fighting spirit is low, Xihe, Wuyuan, Shuofang three Taishou, after deliberation is decided to another Hedong, Pingyang army is fighting against the white wave thieves for help.

However, it was said that with Li Le's defeat, the troops of Shangdang County were empty, and Wen Han and Zhang Yang had prepared their troops and horses, and were about to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the entire Shangdang County, when Wen Han and Zhang Yang received an urgent report from another army.

In the hall of the county government office in Xinghe City. Zhang Yang was walking back and forth anxiously, looking panicked.

"Wen Champion, how should this be? How is it good? originally thought that now was the best time to conquer the party in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang were in a hurry. To save or not to save this!? ”

And when Xi Long heard this urgent report, he kept his head down and kept silent, thinking quickly in his head. Wen Han heard Zhang Yang's question and was about to speak, but Xi Long secretly grabbed Wen Han's arm and made a few quick gestures. After Wen Han saw it, he comprehended it in his heart, and said to Zhang Yang without changing his face.

"Save, of course save. Otherwise, once Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang are defeated by the White Wave Thieves, there will be no White Wave Thieves who will contain Yanmen and Dingxiang without them. Our good fortune will collapse immediately. ”

"But how can this be saved? Are we going to divide our troops? ”

"Exactly. Zhang Gongke can lead the Pingyang Army to rescue, and Shangdang and Taiyuan can be handed over to our Hedong Army. ”

Wen Han nodded heavily and said to Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was stunned suddenly, and then stared at Wen Han's eyes tightly, as if he wanted to see something from it, Wen Han looked at him without changing his expression.

After a while, Zhang Yang silently withdrew his eyes and hesitated.

"No, I can't. Although we waited for the Hedong and Pingyang armies to join forces to annihilate the 20,000 elite cavalry of the Xiongnu, as well as the remnants of Li Le's army, there were still a large number of thieves in Taiyuan County. Although the Hedong Army now has more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are surrendered troops. Champion Wen this time for the sake of righteousness, and helped the old man to send troops to recruit the white wave thieves. The old man already owes a lot, how can the old man put the east of the river in danger. ”

Although Zhang Yang was saying so in his mouth, he had another concern in his heart, of course, he would not say it in front of Wen Han, because his concern was about Wen Han.

Wen Han smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything yet. And Xi Long opened his mouth very tacitly.

Zhang Gong's words are wrong. My lord was driven by righteousness, and before he set out on the expedition, he had already had the determination to fight a decisive battle with the thief to the point of a soldier. Moreover, this white wave thief, my lord had already fought with them two years ago. The thief leader Guo Da had nearly 100,000 troops at the beginning, and he was still not the enemy of my lord. Now in Taiyuan County, there are no more than 50,000 thieves, and the army of my lord is slightly more than when he was in Baibo Valley. In this way, Zhang Gong should not worry too much. Now that the party is empty, we can go straight to Huanglong to attack Taiyuan, and success or failure lies in this move. However, if the Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang armies in Dingxiang were defeated, Guo Da was able to transfer back troops from Dingxiang, and the general trend would be gone.

However, if Duke Zhang suspects that my lord has an ulterior motive for sending troops to merge the state this time. It's really sad to see this. Although it was unbearable, we and the Hedong Army had no choice but to withdraw from the state to prove our innocence. ”

Xi Long's words, but Zhang Yang's face changed drastically, and Zhang Yang saw that Wen Han was silent, as if he recognized Xi Long's statement, so he hurriedly said immediately

"Hey, don't talk nonsense! How could the old man suspect that Champion Wen was the villain who took advantage of the situation. It's a big matter, but Old Man Rong thought about it all night, and tomorrow he will give Champion Wen and the drama master an answer, is it okay? ”

Xi Long closed his mouth and looked at Wen Han, who still needed to let Wen Han decide at this time.

"Good. Zhang Gong thought carefully, and then he didn't bother anymore. First retreated. ”

Wen Han still had a plain face on his face, he was neither happy nor angry, and after quietly leaving the next sentence, he bowed to Zhang Yang and left with Xi Long.

Zhang raised his eyebrows and furrowed deeply, looking at Wen Han's departing back, his expression was constantly changing.

On the way, Xi Long saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered.

"Lord, there must be no woman's kindness at this time. Taiyuan is a state and county of the state, and Shangdang is a land rich in grain, as long as the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan are in the bag, then the state will sooner or later fall into the hands of the lord. Now, it is the best opportunity, as soon as Zhang Yang leaves, then as long as the lord defeats the thief leader Guo as soon as possible, the overall situation will be decided. ”

"I understand that. It's just that if in the future, Zhang Yang asks me for it, then what should I do? ”

By that time, the soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army had spread all over Shangdang and Taiyuan counties. How could Zhang Yang be able to reply with one mouth? At that time, the lord only needs to say that the Hedong Army has fought many battles and needs to raise troops to rest and recuperate, so as to push and push. ”

"Isn't this a scoundrel?"

"A scoundrel is a scoundrel. Looking at how many emperors in the world have been in the world, isn't it to come back to the world? The former Han Gaozu was the ancestor of the scoundrels. Lord, forgive Long for offending. The lord should learn from Han Gaozu. ”

Han Gaozu is also Liu Bang. Wen Han raised his eyebrows, thinking about Liu Bang's deeds along the way to achieve the imperial industry, and unconsciously smiled helplessly.

The next day, Wen Han and Xi Long were invited by Zhang Yang to come to Zhang Yang's mansion in Xinghe City early in the morning. When Zhang Yang saw Wen Han and Xi Long coming, he first bowed deeply.

"Champion Wen, please bow to the old man."

Wen Han didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Yang's gourd, but he still reacted quickly, and hurriedly helped Zhang Yang up, saying in his mouth that he didn't dare to be, he didn't dare to be.

"Nope. Wen Champion is benevolent and righteous, and rescues the people of Bingzhou from the water and fire, and the old man has nothing to repay, so he can only use this worship to thank him. Last night, the old man had already decided. Wen Champion and the drama master are right, now is a good time to move out the white wave thieves in one fell swoop, as long as the Taiyuan thief leader Guo Da dies, then the thief army in Dingxiang will be self-defeating. On the contrary, if the thief of Dingxiang was able to win a big victory because of the old man's hesitation, return to Taiyuan, and miss such a good opportunity, then the old man would be to blame. In any case, as long as the people of the state can be rescued from the knife of the white wave thief. The old man is full of wishes. ”

Zhang Yang's last sentence, there were words in the words, and an unbearable look quickly flashed in Wen Han's plain face, but Wen Han quickly pressed it down. Seeing this, Xi Long hurriedly opened his mouth and said.

"Zhang Gong is righteous, and Long admires it very much. In this way, there is no room for delay, and I hope that Zhang Gong will go out of the army as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Yang and Wen Han looked at each other for a while, then they turned their eyes and looked at Xi Long, with a hint of depth and sharpness in his eyes, and nodded silently.

"Don't worry. Last night, the old man had informed all the troops in Binh Duong, telling them to prepare grain and grass and baggage, and they could set off today.

In this way, Shangdang and Taiyuan were handed over to Wen Champion. ”

"Zhang Gong, don't worry. Extraordinary must live up to the trust. ”

Zhang Yang took a deep breath, left an inexplicable look at Wen Han before leaving, and then left. Zhang Yang decided to send troops to rescue the Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang armies that were fighting in Dingxiang. The battle situation was urgent, and the Pingyang army left Xinghe City within one day and rushed to Dingxiang.

Wen Han and Xi Long and a group of Hedong soldiers saw each other off under the city, watching the departure of the Pingyang army.

"It turned out that Zhang Gong had left. It's time for the lord to concentrate and prepare for the next battle. ”

Xi Long's words immediately brought Wen Han, who was a little distracted, back to reality. Wen Han closed his eyes, and then when he opened them again, the look in his eyes seemed to be completely different, and they were amazingly bright. There seemed to be something missing from the previous one, and then there was an indescribable feeling.

On the other side, it is in Taiyuan County.

Guo Da sat on the main seat of the county hall, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and the look in his eyes was complicated and terrifying. Since Guo Da received Han Yu's letter, he didn't say a word, and he kept it like this for half an hour.

Although Yang Feng didn't know what was written in Han Yu's letter, at least he knew that the party's war was not optimistic.

"Li Le is dead... Of the 30,000 soldiers he brought, 10,000 died, and the rest surrendered to the Hedong and Pingyang armies..."

Suddenly, Guo Da opened his mouth, and the words he said made Yang Feng's heart jump in shock, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help but stand up and exclaim.

"What!! Heavenly Master, you mean that nearly 20,000 soldiers have surrendered to the Hedong and Pingyang armies!! ”

"Humph! Could it be that such news should be faked? ”

Guo Da seemed to have lost his mind and went crazy, and actually laughed. Yang Feng's scalp tingled when he heard this, and then he asked Guo Da in a hurry as if his head was on fire.

"So, Heavenly Master. What should I do!? Now, the Hedong and Pingyang armies have absorbed those rebels and their power has increased greatly. With Han Yu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is impossible to be his opponent! ”

Guo Da inhaled and exhaled, breathing heavily, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his body.

"Yang Feng, pass on the order of the contemptible people, send two teams. A team rushed to Shangdang to inform Han Yu to withdraw his troops immediately and return to Taiyuan. The other team rushed to Dingxiang and ordered Liu Pi to lead an army of 20,000 to rush back to Taiyuan. After the two of them returned, Taiyuan would have 50,000 troops. Contemptible people, you want to fight to the death with Wen Bufan here in Taiyuan. If this battle is won, the White Wave Heavenly Army can regain its defeat and start a counterattack. If it loses, then the White Wave Heavenly Army will disappear from this troubled world like the Yellow Turban Heavenly Army in the past. ”

"But, Heavenly Master... If Dingxiang draws out 20,000 troops at once, then only 20,000 Baibo Heavenly Army will be left to block the Xihe, Wuyuan, and Shuofang armies, so I'm afraid..."

Bang!

Guo Da didn't know where the strength came from, and he smashed the armrest on the seat with one palm, and the flames that had been suppressed with great difficulty broke out again.

"Hugh has to say more!! I've made up my mind!! This time I am desperate, I must defeat Wen Bufan!! Certain!!! ”

"The Heavenly Master forgives the sins, and the last general will immediately order!"

Yang Feng looked at Guo Da's madness, didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, and then left. And not long after he left, there was a burst of angry howls from Guo Dajidi behind him.

A few days later, Han Yu, who was in the party Fengxian, received an order from Guo Da, and immediately reorganized his troops and horses and rushed back to Taiyuan. And with Han Xi's departure, there was no white wave thief in the entire Shangdang County, so the Hedong army recovered the remaining county seats of Shangdang County without blood.

With the passage of the Hedong Army, Han Yu and Liu Bi also led their troops back to Taiyuan County, so a total of 50,000 thieves in Taiyuan County began to turmoil under the command of Guo Da, and one by one the Baibo teams rushed to Jinyang City.

There was a cold killing intent in Jinyang City, and the people in the city were worried day and night, and at the same time, they also hoped that their Wen Champion would lead the Hedong army to attack Jinyang City as soon as possible.
