After Han Sui sneered, the conversation changed, and Sen Ran said:

"In fact, no matter whether the Ma family father and son flee or surrender, it has little impact on the overall situation. Ma Teng fled to the north, and it could not affect the rear of Jincheng; If he surrendered, Yan Xing would not dare to rely too much on the Ma family's father and son and other newly surrendered people. ”

"Therefore, after all, this battle is still a decisive battle between us and the soldiers and horses in Hedong, and the winner is all based in Guanzhong, including Sanfu, as for the loser, he can only be like Ma Teng, or surrender or flee."

Hearing this, Han Chang and Li Biao suddenly understood, and hurriedly said loudly:

"My lord, the woman and the woman are high, this battle will definitely be able to destroy the enemy, and it will all be in Guanzhong!"

"Haha!" Han Sui laughed and stroked his long beard, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Isn't there someone from the Yan family this time, then send the children of the Yan family as envoys to the enemy camp to see what kind of person this Yan Xing is!"

"What name does the woman intend to have?"

When Li Biao heard Han Sui's intention to send the enemy camp, he also gathered his mind and asked carefully.

The world is in turmoil, Liangzhou is the first to be in chaos, and this turmoil is violent and continuous, there are not many people in the coalition army who will be afraid of the Han family, but in order to become famous and win the hearts of the people, Han Sui, who is a high-level member of the coalition army, will still swear under the guise of some "eunuchs", "King Qin", and "crusade against Li Dao".

It's just that the eunuchs have long been destroyed, the imperial court has also moved east to Kanto, and Li Dao was attacked and killed by the Ma family father and son not long ago.

Han Sui's sharp eyes immediately saw through Li Yu's thoughts, and he smiled coldly:

It is said that Sui Xi is the general of Anqiang, and the imperial court entrusted him with the important task of guarding the west and pacifying Qiang, and he is deeply favored by heaven, and he can only repay him with his old body. In the autumn of this year, he entered the Guanzhong, originally to crusade against the rebellious Li Dao, since Li Dao has been destroyed, the old man will also lead the 100,000 Hanhu army to return to Liangdi! ”

"It's just that after the chaos in Guanzhong, the displaced people scattered and fled to the road, and the old man had no mercy for people, so he specially sent troops to escort the displaced people back to their hometowns, and asked for the seal for many righteous Qiang lords, so as to show the wisdom of the court!"

Han Sui said this easily, but when he heard Li Biao and Han Chang's ears, after a little thought, he had to admit that the father and wife in front of him were Jiang Gui's nature.

Li Dao is dead, the army is nameless, and Han Sui's Anqiang general is not as good as Yan Xing's title of hussar general who opened the mansion and supervised the three states, but this kind of "righteousness" absence that is detached from things and affects people's hearts at all times can easily be resolved by the old and strong Han Sui with this hand.

It is the duty of General An Qiang to protect the people and pacify Qiang, so Han Sui's so-called "sending troops to protect the people" and "asking for the seal for Hu" are justified.

This time, without waiting for Li Biao and Han Chang to praise Han Sui's cleverness, Han Sui had already stretched out his hand in advance to stop the two of them from speaking, he looked out of the city, just like looking at Chang'an City that he had visited many years ago, and said with a leisurely smile:

"As for whether to advance or retreat, then let's see!"

···

Outside Chang'an City, the camp in the west of the city.

Dong Zhuo destroyed a city in the eastern capital of Luoyang, while Li Dao and others destroyed a city of Chang'an in Xijing.

Although Li Dao, Dong Cheng, Ma Teng and others did not burn Chang'an City like Dong Zhuoqian burned the city, after the army seized the city and abandoned the city, and the soldiers indulged in plunder, the former Chang'an City in Xijing Huanghuang has long been hollowed out.

When the imperial court had just moved west to Chang'an, the grand occasion of "the car hub hitting, the shoulders rubbing", "the clothes become yin, and the sweat becomes rain" is no longer visible, leaving only a few piles of waste pond trees, green wild wheat, and jackdaws.

Looking at the dilapidated and dusty palace mansions, empty streets and alleys, and ten rooms and nine empty alleys, all I heard in my ears was the mournful horn issued by the soldiers who stayed in the city, but Yan Xing and his party didn't have time to be sentimental, and after they entered the city, they hurriedly left the famous capital Xijing and rushed out of the camp in the west of the city.

The royal garden in the west of the city is now deserted and depressed, and the lake in Kunming Pond is muddy and cold, and Duan Xuan's army is stationed here.

At the beginning of the garrison, the soldiers set fire to the wild grasses that grew wildly, hunted and killed many wolves and wild dogs that roamed and foraged around, and expelled the homeless people hiding in the gardens before they began to build camps in this land.

By the time Yan Xing and the others arrived, the initial chaos had disappeared here, and it had become a large army camp that was fighting and orderly.

It's just that in the steep evening breeze, there is still a faint smell of grass and wood ash.

Duan Xuan personally went out of the camp to greet him, and everyone was unimpeded, and after dismounting from the Yuanmen, he galloped all the way, and the fish entered the account.

Entering the big tent, Yan Xing did not deliberately maintain that high prestige, he took off the pocket casually, shook his neck that was crushed and numb, and went to the edge of the shelf in the tent to watch the map, and said to Duan Xuan with a smile:

"Duan Gong fought this battle happily, defeated Ma Teng's army, recovered Chang'an City in one fell swoop, and his reputation is far and wide, I believe that soon, the women and children of the Kwantung people will be able to know Duan Gong's prestige, and the court will have a new reward."

Duan Xuan, who was dressed in armor, smiled faintly at Yan Xing's words, he also knew a series of things about the changes in Luoyang City, the dispatch of troops by the Yuan and Cao families, and the eastward relocation of the Son of Heaven to Xudu, which was naturally a big blow to some civil and military forces under Yan Xing's command, but on Yan Xing's face, he could not see a trace of joy, anger and sorrow.

After a quick observation, Duan Xuan hurriedly spoke modestly and took the initiative to come to Yutu to explain the current situation in Guanzhong to Yan Xing.

"General, please see, Han Sui's army has taken control of the cities between Wangyu and Chongqing, and has continuously sent soldiers and horses to garrison the two cities of Meiyang and Wugong, and most of Fufeng County has fallen into the hands of Han Sui's army."

"Fortunately, after our army recovered Chang'an City in one fell swoop, Zhonglang General Zhang Liao had already rushed to Huaili City, strengthened the city defense, built a barracks, and built a barrier to the west of Chang'an City. After the general surrendered Ma Teng, Feng Yijun and Jingzhao County had also been pacified, except for Liang Xing between Shangluo and Wang Zhong in Wuguan, the land of Guanzhong was under the control of the general. ”

"Therefore, our army arrived first and gained a geographical advantage. The battle of Huaili is actually the last battle in Guanzhong, and every gain and loss in Huaili City will be related to the trend of the situation in Guanzhong next. ”

The veteran Duan Xuan pointed to the Guanzhong Mountains, Chuancheng on the map, and brought the situation of the two armies together, Yan Xing listened carefully, occasionally bowed his head, and patiently waited until Duan Xuan finished speaking before saying his problem.

"What is the strength of Han Suijun's army?"

Hearing Yan Xing ask about Han Suijun, Duan Xuan glanced around the tent, and Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Hong, and Pei Jiu, who were also in the tent, were all performing their duties, busy sorting out and summarizing the military Chinese books and picture books brought in the account.

Only the two of them stood in front of Yutu to discuss the current military affairs, and Yang Feng, who was his deputy general, did not say anything on the side, Duan Xuan hurriedly came back to his senses and replied:

"According to Zhang Zhonglang's future report, there are no less than 20,000 Han Sui's army explored by Wugong and Meiyang alone, and if you add the follow-up people and horses who came from between Wangyu and Chongqing, I am afraid that there are as many as 40,000 or 50,000, and there are many Qianghu tribes under Han Sui's command, and the autumn is high and the horses are fat and vigorous, Zhang Zhonglang will suggest that you should not rush into a light attack, and it is advisable to station heavy troops in Huaili City to resist the invasion of the Liangdi army."

Listening to Duan Xuan's words, Yan Xing smiled, although Duan Xuan said that it was Zhang Liao's suggestion, but Yan Xing still heard Duan Xuan's meaning from it, he glanced at Yang Feng, who did not speak, and turned to Duan Xuan with a smile and asked:

"What about according to Duan Gong's opinion?"

Duan Xuan also glanced at Yang Feng before he continued to groan:

"The Art of War: Avoid its sharpness and attack its laziness. In the land of Guanzhong, our army has won two-thirds, but under the long-term battle of the soldiers, the men and horses are also tired, and Han Sui took the preemptive momentum, and the Qiang Hu under his command is strong and fierce. Simmer that you still need to clear the wilderness, the tired enemy is the top, and the field battle is the bottom! ”

Duan Xuan's words are old sayings, and "strong walls clear the wilderness, tired enemies and lazy" is also a common strategy of the Central Plains Dynasty to deal with nomadic tribes by defending instead of attacking.

According to Duan Xuan's tactics specific to the Battle of Guanzhong, as long as the confrontation between the Hedong army and the Han Sui army dragged on until the harsh winter, this battle would be considered a victory for the Hedong side!

Even if they couldn't defeat Han Sui's army, Yan Xing's side was invincible from beginning to end, and they could completely survive Han Sui's retreat, and then slowly use troops to recover the city west of Fufeng County.

It's just that Yan Xing didn't move on the surface, but in his heart he didn't seem to agree with Duan Xuan's old words, he thought about it, and then turned to Yang Feng with a smile and asked:

"Boyang, what do you think?"

In the army of the Western Expedition, Yang Feng, as Duan Xuan's deputy general, his identity is used to balance the existence of forces in the army. Because before the expedition, Yan Xing told him, so although Yang Feng had a lot of complaints about Duan Xuan, he never had an attack, and he still relied on the opinion of the main general Duan Xuan.

But now that Yan Xing has arrived in the army, Yang Feng feels that he no longer needs to endure each other, and after thinking about it, he finally spoke decisively:

"General, Feng thinks that this battle is the last reliance on the decisive pass, there is no advance or retreat, and we must go all out to win the battle. Previously, Xinfeng and Ma Teng's army could not hold on for a long time, causing the army to stay in Guanxi, which gave the Guandong Yuan and Cao two families the opportunity to take advantage of the false attack. ”

Previously, when Duan Xuan advocated confrontation and dragged down Ma Teng's army, Yang Feng and others from the main battle faction in the army had quite a few complaints, thinking that Duan Xuan only cared about his own stability and victory, and his reputation was preserved, anyway, it was also the money and food that Hedong had worked hard to accumulate, which was completely abandoning the overall situation!

So as soon as Yang Feng's words were finished at this time, Yan Xing hadn't reacted yet, but Duan Xuan blushed and spoke first.
