32, story 1
"Kill that guide Zhou and his two subordinates, take Xiaoguan Road, avoid the Han army brigade, and everyone will be able to return to Liangzhou!"
There are two main roads to return to Longyou from the land of Sanfu, one is the Longguan Road taken by the Liangzhou coalition army to invade Sanfu along the line of Longguan, Wangxian and Yulu, and the other is the Xiaoguan Road that passes through Qixian, Luyi and Gaoping along the line of Jingshui.

Longguan Road is close but the terrain is dangerous, and there are Han troops stationed along the way, and it is definitely difficult for Yan Xing and these people to go back according to the original way. Walking on Xiaoguan Road, although it needs to be detoured and the distance is relatively far, it can avoid a large number of Han troops, and it is relatively safe and secure.
Yan Xing understood what Ganling meant, and he didn't want to return to Liangzhou quickly after his initial defeat, but after going through the Oxtail Gathering and the prisoner camp, he had already begun to make a new decision.
Two years ago, before Yan Xing left home to go eastward, Yan's father warned him when he was leaving, "There are things in the world that can be done and there are things that cannot be done." When Oxtail gathered and Yan Shi talked about the general trend of the world, Yan Shi reminded him that "it is rigid and easy to break, and the good is like water, and he fights with the world, but suffers from it".
However, Yan Xing, who was reborn, has always refused to accept fate, and in the end he did not take these words to heart thoroughly. He proclaimed himself a savior hero, and always believed in the classic exposition of the general trend of the world in the later Su Che's "Seven Generations":
"A heroic man can be accomplished by the trend of the world. The trend of the world, there is no one who can be achieved, and the heroes, often because of their gaps and into the middle, stoic and unchanging, is the trend of the world and incomprehensible! ”
In the past, Qin lost its deer, and the world chased it, and those who were fast and high-quality were gained. Nowadays, the Han family is declining, the mandate of heaven has changed, the Quartet is in turmoil, and the heroes are using their lives. Yan Xing, who was reborn as a self-appointed hero, was also energetic, thinking of taking advantage of the situation and getting a piece of the pie like other heroes in this gluttonous feast in the chaos of the world.
It is a pity that the fate is full of difficulties and difficult steps, first in the pursuit of Chencang lost most of his soldiers, and then when he used the "empty city plan" to save the Oxwei mountain people, he fell short because of the leak of a mountain captive, and finally fell into the prisoner camp, becoming a "rogue" who is a minions and is driven by people.
And Yan Xing also realized some truths in the troubled times in this series of setbacks and blows, and Yan Xing also had a new experience in grasping the general trend of the world.
"Rise with the trend, take advantage of the situation, build momentum and prosper, become a trend and prosper", this trial of the situation, the way of understanding the situation, Yan Xing has already had a first glimpse of the way, and the idea of returning to Liangzhou in his heart has quietly calmed down.
Even if he rushes back to Liangzhou at this moment, he can't save the overall situation of the collapse of the coalition army. Han Sui borrowed a knife to kill people, and used the Han army to eliminate his biggest enemy, the power of the Wang family's father and son, in the pursuit of Chencang. But Yan Xing can have a hunch that soon there will be a "Ma family army" also take the opportunity to rise up and compete with Han Sui for Liangzhou, in addition to Song Jian of Caohan, Heguan group of bandits, Linqiang's Koji family, Jiuquan's Huang family and other Liangzhou families, plus the Qiang people, Lu Shuihu, Di people and other Qiang Hu species, these intricate local forces out of their own interests, will never let the Jincheng Han family dominate Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is now like a big chess game that has completely collapsed, the banner of righteousness that was once held high has been nakedly abandoned, and the various forces are no longer coy, and they directly go to the horse and enclose the land, divide the counties and counties, and reveal the true face of the "soil emperor". After Chen Cang, Oxtail Gathering and other events, Yan Xing no longer had hope for the future of the Liangzhou coalition army, nor would he be arrogant, thinking that he could flatten the Liangzhou heroes with himself or the small Yan family, and the right place of Kuanglong.
In the final analysis, the strength in Yan Xing's hands is too weak, and in the troubled times, whether it is to protect himself or to dominate the world, it is indispensable to have a strong army. "A heroic man can be made because of the momentum of the world", so what Yan Xing needs most at the moment is to take advantage of the situation, and when he was in the prisoner camp, he set his sights on Dong Jun.
Yan Xing, who was reborn, may not know the specific plot of the defeat of the coalition army Chen Cang, but he definitely knows the familiar story of "Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, and the princes begged for Dong", he waited for the price and sold, originally regarded Xu Kun and his uncle as the buyers of his own men, but what he didn't expect was that Xu Rong, the general in the Dong camp, was actually the Han general who defeated his own family and horses on the edge of the river.
Therefore, when facing Li Ru, Yan Xing had no other choice but to bow his head, obey Li Ru's orders, and turn around and become a "rogue" who disturbed the place. And when Zhou Liang instigated everyone to attack Wubao before, he also deliberately leaked some of the inside information of Dong Ying to Yan Xing, including Li Ru's plan to install cronies and generals in Dong Ying, no matter what Zhou Liang's purpose was, whether his words were true or false, when the matter came, Yan Xing had no choice but to pin half of his hopes on Li Ru, hoping that after his meritorious service, he would be able to use Li Ru's power to clear the identity of the rebels.
It's just that at this time, when facing Ganling, who was eager to return home, Yan Xing had many words in his heart, but he couldn't open his mouth for a while. After a long while, Yan Xing slowly exhaled and said:
"Ah Ling, I haven't told a story for a long time, I'll tell you another story tonight!"
"Okay, the story of the eldest brother, Ling has always loved to hear it, but I don't know which hero to tell tonight, or the story of the famous generals of the previous dynasty?"
Gan Ling was a little surprised when he heard Yan Xing's answer, but he knew that Yan Xing had always been steady and meaningful, so he immediately smiled, and didn't mind at all, and asked after Yan Xing's words.
Yan Xing also smiled when he heard this, and said:
"Tonight, we will neither talk about heroes nor famous generals. It's the story of our cool people. ”
Gan Ling suddenly sat upright, and he said with a straight face:
"I want to hear about it!"
"I'm talking about the late Han Dynasty, the story of a cool man in the troubled times, speaking of which, this cool man is much stronger than me, he was famous in Longshang when he was young, and was recruited by the state and county, and went to Chang'an Taixue, and was recommended by the imperial master. When the world was in turmoil, he raised the flag to gather the clan, took advantage of the situation, the heroes of the Quartet gathered under his command, the former majestic enemy was awarded in front of him in a blink of an eye, where his soldiers pointed, Longxi, Wudu, Jincheng, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and other counties were all obedient, Liangzhou was soon pocketed by him, he seized the right place of Long, became the princes of the Weizhen side. ”
Hearing this, Gan Ling was also relaxed, and praised loudly for this Liangzhou hero in Yan Xing's mouth:
"Retreat can gather the clan to protect itself, and enter can be divided into one side, this person is really the husband among my cool people, what a hero!"
