Hedong County and Hongnong County are adjacent to each other, and the envoy sent to Hongnong to contact Zhang Ji lived up to his mission, and soon returned to Anyi to restore his life and brought back Hongnong's envoy.

Not surprisingly, Zhang Ji, for the sake of his own interests, also agreed that the two sides should join forces and attack Henan from the west.

Therefore, Yan Xing sent two generals, Yan Xing and Wei Xuan, together with Zhai Hao's department, to lead 5,000 cavalry, and Zhang Ji to join forces in Shaanxi County to jointly attack Zhu Jun.

Shaanxi County, Zhangji Daying.

Zhai Hao was wearing iron armor, walking like flying, followed by Yan Xing, who was wearing a helmet and armor, and the two also brought a team of strong and stubborn guards to Zhang Ji's Chinese army camp together.

Previously, after receiving Yan Xing's military order, they marched all the way and traveled tirelessly, and only yesterday did they lead the troops to arrive in Shaanxi County.

Recently, between Hedong and Hongnong, messengers are frequent and close, so after their soldiers and horses and grain and grass baggage crossed the river into the territory of Hongnong, they were not hindered, and their own cavalry sent by Zhang Ji greeted them and led them to camp outside the city of Shaanxi.

After resting overnight and after Zhai Hao and the others recovered their mental strength, Zhang Ji sent someone early in the morning to summon the generals of the Hedong soldiers and horses to discuss the strategy of advancing eastward.

Therefore, Captain Zhai Hao left Wei Xuan to guard the camp, and he and Yan Xing came to Zhang Ji's camp with his personal guards to participate in the military meeting.

However, Zhai Hao and the others, who were still in the camp all the way just now, did not get close to Zhang Ji's Chinese army tent, and were stopped by Zhang Ji's personal guards just at the gate of the Chinese army.

"The Chinese army is an important place, and if someone comes to stop, you can unload your weapons first, and then enter."

A guard guarding the gate stood in front of the door, blocking it, shouting orders, looking at Zhai Hao and the others, looking arrogant.

Zhai Hao immediately became angry when he heard this, he opened his eyes, glared at the guard who was blocking, and then turned his head sideways to Zhang Jishi, who was leading the way, and shouted:

"We are generals from Hedong, and we are here to discuss military aircraft with General Zhendong, why do you want to disarm your weapons, you quickly go and let him get out of the way, don't stop me from entering, I missed the military discussion, can you afford it?"

Zhai Hao's beard trembled with the roar, but there was no need to report it to the soldiers who led the way, and the guards who blocked it had already heard it clearly, and he looked at Zhai Hao, who was on the back of a tiger and with a fierce attitude, and his tone slowed down slightly.

"Although you are a general of Hedong, you are a guest army after all, and there are strict orders in the army, this captain, please don't embarrass us."

Zhai Hao snorted coldly, ignoring Zhang Ji's personal guards, he turned his head to look at Yan Xing beside him, wanting to ask for his opinion.

Yan Xing had just taken a closer look at the location of Zhang Ji's Chinese army, which was the position of Zhang Ji's camp to the rear, and the periphery of the Chinese army had also erected fences and arranged carts, which were heavily guarded in the army.

Seeing Zhai Hao's gaze, Yan Xing quickly thought about it in his mind, and then shook his head at Zhai Hao vaguely.

Although they are here as guest troops, they want to be guests as they please, but since the two sides are allies, this status should not be so disparity, even if they have to obey military orders, their own side must be neither humble nor arrogant.

If the other party did not send an envoy to make a statement in advance, then he did not have to comply with everything. If you want to let your own weapons untie, you have to have a person worthy of your identity, a mere guard of the Chinese army, you want to let your own team of soldiers untie your weapons, isn't it just a deformed dismount?

When Zhai Hao saw Yan Xing shaking his head, he immediately understood what he meant, he immediately laughed, untied the sword at his waist, and said loudly:

"I've untied the sword, if you can take it, then take it!"

Zhai Hao also learned from Zhang Ji's guard, his stomach was shy, and the saliva in his mouth was about to spray on Zhang Ji's guard's face, and the blocking Zhang Ji guard's words heard Zhai Hao's ridiculed and provocative words, and his heart was also angry, he waved his hand with a black face, and immediately another soldier rushed up, wanting to take away the sword in Zhai Hao's hand.

Zhai Hao sneered when he saw this, his body was slightly gloomy, his five fingers were tightly clasped, although he held the sword with one hand, no matter how the guard who stepped forward to grab the sword pulled with both hands, it was not enough to take away the sword in his hand.

Zhang Ji's personal guards, who were blocked, saw that the saber could not be taken away, and then observed Zhai Hao's physique and figure, he knew that the soldier alone could not take the saber in his hand, but how could he bear it if he let a guest army general be so presumptuous in front of his own Chinese army.

At the moment, he didn't care about the others, and he stepped forward to join forces with the soldier to take down the sword in Zhai Hao's hand together.

When he also put his hands on Zhai Hao's saber, he only heard Zhai Hao sneer, "It's just right", and then there was a strong force that sank down, Zhai Hao's saber slipped out of his hand at once, and then Zhai Hao's shoulder armor slammed up, and the people present only heard a muffled sound, and the two soldiers who grabbed the sword flew out in an instant, falling backwards into the dust and dirt.

"Hehe, just this little ability, I also want Nagong to untie the sword!"

Zhai Hao sneered, still raising his arm to hold the sword, his face was full of disdain, the two soldiers who were knocked to the ground ate dust, were ashamed and annoyed, heard Zhai Hao's taunt, immediately turned over, and was about to draw his sword and step forward.

"Get out of the way!"

The people present heard another shout, but this time Zhang Ji's soldiers all stopped.

A young general strode over from inside the gate, his eyes were sharp, his mouth was broad, his beard was thick, his physique was strong, and he was dressed in armor, and his power was far greater than that of ordinary soldiers in the camp.

"Major General, Major General."

Seeing that the young general's Zhang Ji's personal guards all bowed their heads and retreated, out of the way, the young general smiled coldly, and regardless of the salute of the soldiers present, he came straight to Zhai Hao, who was standing.

"Captain Zhai don't be angry, the juniors are just acting according to orders, you are a guest general, you don't need to remove your sword, you can't be in this important place in the army, since you are going to participate in the military discussion, you should put away your sword."

As he spoke, the young general had already reached out and grabbed Zhai Hao's sword, and he had a smile on his face, looking like he was trying to persuade Zhai Hao to put away his weapon.

However, the sword in Zhai Hao's hand was taken by the young general, but he immediately felt his arm sink, and his entire arm seemed to be about to be suppressed. The opponent pressed down from above, and there was a tendency to build a commanding height, Zhai Hao smelled the breath of a strong enemy in an instant, and he didn't dare to touch the enemy down and down, so he immediately had to use his strength to switch and break free from the opponent's hand.

But the young general on the opposite side seemed to have expected Zhai Hao to deal with it like this, and he smiled undiminishedly and coped with it easily. Zhai Hao struggled hard, but he couldn't get the saber out of the other party's control, and the saber in his hand froze in place, slowly being pressed down.

"Careless!"

Zhai Hao secretly screamed in his heart, wanting to fight back and regain the disadvantage, but Yan Xing, who was on the side, saw Zhai Hao's muscles bulging for a while, afraid that Zhai Hao would attack, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand, saluted and smiled:

"It turned out to be a young general, who has admired his name for a long time, and today he finally sees his majesty!"

The young general caught a glimpse of Yan Xing approaching to salute, raised his thick eyebrows, took the initiative to let go of Zhai Hao's sword, and turned his eyes to look at Yan Xing.

"You are Yan Duwei, the clan brother of Yan Hou?"

"It's just that."

"Very good, the military council in the tent is waiting for the two of you, please enter the account!"

The young general Lang laughed, stretched out his hand, made a petition, and said while looking at the guards behind the two:

"As for the two guards, please stay here and wait."

Zhai Hao just carelessly ate a secret loss, and was angry in his heart, at this moment, when he heard the words, the tiger's eyes were wide, and he was about to take the opportunity to attack, Yan Xing knew Zhai Hao's temperament, and immediately laughed first:

"There is Major General Lao to greet you, please!"

The young general smiled coldly, didn't speak, turned around and walked in the direction of the big tent. The two of them entered the account together with the young general.

I saw that all the generals in the tent gathered, Zhang Ji put his robe and big armor, stood on the main position, and got up to greet him with a smile.

Zhai Hao and Yan Xing did not dare to slack off, and after meeting Zhang Ji, they met with the generals under his command in turn, and then sat down to discuss the military situation.

The intelligence of the land of Henan, Zhang Ji has sent scouts and spies to spy and collect a lot before, Zhu Jun was promoted by Tao Qian, Kong Rong, Yuan Zhong, Ying Shao and many other Taishou and assassins in the Kanto to be the master and the leader of the alliance, and the Xiliang army that captured Chang'an was defeated.

According to Zhang Ji's strategy, he sent 15,000 troops this time, together with the soldiers and horses in Hedong, a total of 20,000 horsemen, with cavalry as the front, and the foot soldiers advanced in the rear, striving to be noble and fast, and it was bound to take Zhu Jun's army by surprise, and strive to wipe out Zhu Jun's soldiers and horses in the Luoyang area.

Regarding this strategy of employing troops, the generals under Zhang Ji, as well as Zhai Hao and Yan Xing, naturally have no objections. So Zhang Ji assigned the tasks of the soldiers and horses of each department in turn, and explained the military orders of each department in the army······

After the military discussion was over, Zhai Hao and Yan Xing walked out of Zhang Ji's camp together, got on their horses and left with their personal guards.

"This Zhang Ji's nephew really has some ability."

Zhai Hao still remembered the contest between Zhang Xiu and him in front of the gate just now, he was not convinced, and as soon as he left Zhang Ji's camp, he immediately said angrily.

"He can be a lieutenant general, but not only because of his uncle's shadow."

Yan Xing glanced at Zhai Hao, he knew what Zhai Hao meant, and immediately said slowly.

"Oh?"

"When Bian Zhang and Han Sui were in chaos, this Zhang Xiu was in Wuwei Zu Li as a county official, and Jincheng's Lu Sheng attacked and killed Zu Li Chang Liu Jun, and then he assassinated Lu Sheng, and summoned the heroic young men in the city, according to the city self-protection, his reputation is not small, I heard of him when I was in Liangzhou!"

After Zhai Hao listened, he was dull and silent, Xu was provoked to fight in his heart, and after a while, he snorted coldly, showed his teeth and smiled again:

"As a general, this reputation should rely on the ability to fight on the battlefield with a knife and a spear, and the great reputation earned by the assassin's actions and the shadow of his uncle can be worth it? In the battle battle in the future, I want to see what other skills he has besides raiding and assassinating! ”

···

The soldiers are fast, and rushing and raiding has always been the strength of the Xiliang soldiers. After setting the strategy of attacking Zhu Jun's army in Luoyang, Zhang Ji asked Zhang Xiu to lead 3,000 cavalry to drive the army straight to Luoyang, and Zhai Hao also saved up enough strength and brought 1,000 cavalry.

Zhang Ji scoldly promised to let him and Zhang Xiu be the same forwards.

So a large number of cavalry surged eastward, took the Cuihan Road, crossed Michi and Xin'an, and went straight to Luoyang.

Helplessly, although the Xiliang cavalry was menacing, after the surprise attack broke a part of Zhu Jun's army, it was found that Zhu Jun's main force had withdrawn from Luoyang.

Zhu Jun is also a veteran of the war, he has suffered the loss of the Xiliang cavalry led by Li Dao, Guo Yan and others before, these Xiliang soldiers are brave and fierce, strong armor, if they fight in the plains, with the army gathered in various places under his command, it is extremely difficult to resist.

Therefore, after receiving a soldier and horse from the forward and being defeated by the Xiliang cavalry, he immediately made a decision and chose to lead most of the main force to withdraw from the Luoyang area in advance and shrink the defensive line in the direction of Zhongmu.

Zhang Xiu and Zhai Hao were unwilling to let go, and led the cavalry to chase and fight all the way, wanting to delay the main force of Zhu Jun's army, but Zhu Jun used his troops to fight and retreat, neither being tempted to pursue the rangers, nor giving the Xiliang cavalry any opportunity to take advantage of.

Chased from Luoyang to Yanshi, and then from Yanshi to Gongxian, although Zhang Ji and Zhai Hao, who pursued along the way, were repeatedly defeated, but they could not leave the main force led by Zhu Jun himself, and when Zhu Jun led the troops through Chenggao and left a foot soldier stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, the Xiliang cavalry, which was not good at attacking the fortifications, had to stop the pursuit and stationed on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the infantry led by Zhang Ji.

After Zhang Ji's main force of infantry entered Henan and recovered the surrounding cities of Luoyang, he did not choose to continue to attack Tiger Prison Pass, killing all the way to Zhongmu and fighting Zhu Jun who contracted the defense line to the end.

Zhang Ji is also a person who knows the soldiers, and he sees the intentions of Zhu Jun, a veteran. Zhu Jun had taught the Western Liang cavalry the power, so he would not take the initiative to attack and fight with a large group of Xiliang cavalry in the plains, but chose a steady and steady way, using high walls and deep ravines to wear down the morale of the Western Liang soldiers.

It was not difficult for Zhang Ji to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, but besieging the Zhongmu defense line was likely to fall into the predicament of the kingdom besieging Chencang back then.

The battle line of the Xiliang soldiers was too long, from Shaanxi County to Zhongmu, in this area, the forces of Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao, Heishan, Cao Cao, Liu Biao and others were staggered, and the amount of grain and grass consumed by the Xiliang cavalry every day was huge, and the long grain and grass supply line in the rear could be attacked by these forces anytime and anywhere.

At the end of the day, the current situation has changed. Compared with the initial situation of the endless fighting in the counties of Kwantung Prefecture after the disbandment of the Dong Allied Army, the two camps in the Central Plains have now divided the winners and losers.

Gongsun Chan failed to fight for Jizhou, Yuan Shu failed to fight for Jingzhou, and then Yuan Shu turned around and went north, choosing to unite Montenegro, Xiongnu, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian and other forces, and Jin Shang's offensive to invade Yanzhou was also defeated and collapsed by the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Gongsun Zhan-Yuan Shu's once mighty camp could only die down, licking their own wounds, Gongsun Chan fought with Liu Yu for the entire Youzhou in the north, and Yuan Shu's main force moved to the southeast to Huainan to attack Yangzhou.

In the Central Plains and the land of Hebei, the camp of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can be described as a lone show.

And the Kwantung Prefecture has less fighting and consumption, and Zhang Ji has to be cautious and cautious when attacking Zhu Jun.

In his opinion, the risk of besieging the Zhongmu defense line is not small, and he is unwilling to take advantage of the fire for others, so he led his troops to stop in the Luoyang area, wanting to continue to bargain with Yan Xing, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others.

Soon after, he received letters from Hedong.
