Guo Bianzhi was complacent, and said that Ma Teng and Li Wei were usurped and thieving thieves, arrogant and arrogant, and openly asked for official positions, Liu Xie sighed helplessly, and had to announce in public that he was canonized as the great Sima of the dynasty, ranking above the three dukes, and from now on, Guo Bian became the undisputed ruler of the first power of the dynasty.

After returning to his mansion, after Jia Xuping retired, he wrote two letters in the study, one to Zhang Ji and one to Li Ying, the guard of Tongguan.

Li Ying's Li Dao's younger brother, received Jia Xu's letter, Li Ying was startled, Li Dao died, Jia Xu said clearly in the letter, Li Dao was killed by Guo Yan, naturally, he would not let him go, Jia Xu advised him to make plans early, otherwise, there will be a disaster of blood and light.

After thinking about it, Li Yingsi thought to himself, "My brother is dead now, what's the use of me guarding Tongguan here, maybe, Guo Yan will send someone to kill me soon." ”

The more Li Ying thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the dry vinegar directly led people to flee to Liangzhou.

Zhang Ji was also taken aback when he received Jia Xu's letter, and was still a little hesitant, but suddenly the captain Chen Shi came in a hurry, and as soon as they met, he said breathlessly, "General, the big thing is not good, Li Ying and his people suddenly left Tongguan." ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Ji couldn't sit still any longer, so he hurriedly ordered all the men and horses to go to Tongguan, and gave his nephew Zhang Xiu 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Tongguan, and Zhang Ji personally led 15,000 people to Chang'an.

As soon as Zhang Ji left, Zhao Yun immediately got the news, and without hesitation, Zhao Yun immediately gathered the crowd to order, and within a while, Tai Shici and others rushed to hear the news.

Zhao Yun told everyone about the situation, and everyone was gearing up to fight, and they all agreed that they should quickly march into Chang'an.

Xu Huang didn't say a word, lowered his head and pondered, Zhao Yun asked, "Gongming, what do you think?" ”

"Lord, I think now is not the time to send troops to Chang'an, the first priority is to take Tongguan and Hongnong first, the situation in Chang'an is unknown, if Guo Yan and Zhang Ji work together, there are thirty or forty thousand soldiers and horses, it is difficult for us to eat it in one bite, not to mention, the Son of Heaven is in their hands, and they are afraid that it will backfire."

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and nodded approvingly.

He really didn't understand in his heart, what Jia Xu's plan was, obviously let him join forces with Ma Teng, which was good, Ma Teng's father and son almost took their lives, and so far, Jia Xu has not replied.

Zhao Yun walked to the sand table, looked at it carefully for a while, his heart suddenly lit up, and he immediately ordered.

"Xu Huang, give 3,000 men and horses, and march into Shaanxi County from the dry road."

"Gan Ning, take your headquarters and rush to Hongnong from the waterway, remember, don't easily expose your whereabouts, once Zhang Xiu comes back to help, be sure to cooperate with Xu Huang to attack."

After the two of them left, Zhao Yun personally led Yanyun to ride and rushed straight to Tongguan, and Tai Shici was left to guard the military camp and cooperate with Fang Yue to protect Luoyang.

Before thinking about retreating, the water will be stacked first, but the defense is invincible, and the enemy is defenseless, Luoyang is the foundation of Zhao Yun, and there is no room for loss, Tai Shici is also a person who takes care of the overall situation, and generously receives orders.

Zhao Yun rushed all the way to Tongguan, less than twenty miles away from Tongguan, and ordered people to stop advancing and temporarily camp in a dense forest mountain pass.

In less than a day, Gan Ning stopped the team at the ferry, went ashore to investigate around, and then ordered all the brothers of the Jinfan Army to stand by, and let everyone change into the clothes of ordinary people, disguise themselves as fishermen fishing nearby, and disperse the eight hundred brothers on the spot, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Xu Huang that night, led the troops to raid Shaanxi County, the defenders were empty, defenseless, was Xu Huang fell in one fell swoop, before dawn, the fiery red Han army flag fluttered in the wind on the city tower, the enemy army who escaped by luck hurried to Tongguan to tell Zhang Xiu.

After Zhang Xiu got the news, he kicked the table in front of him to the ground angrily, and wanted to take people back in person, but he was worried that something would happen in Tongguan, and after thinking about it, Zhang Xiu hurriedly summoned the school captain Chen Shi to discuss.

When Chen Shi heard that Shaanxi County was lost, he was also anxious, and immediately took the initiative to ask Ying, "Major General, Tongguan cannot be lost, please give me a sentry, and the last general is willing to make a military order, not to recapture Shaanxi County, and come to see me." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded, "You also have to be more careful, don't be impulsive, it's really not good, don't fight hard, come back quickly." ”

Chen Shi responded violently, Zhang Xiu gave him half of the soldiers and horses, Chen Shi immediately led people out of Tongguan, the wind is the wind, the fire rushed to Shaanxi County, less than half a day, came to the Yellow River ferry.

Chen Shi glanced at the shore, the situation was urgent, he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly across the Yellow River, so he immediately ordered people to collect the boats, and forcibly recruited the fishermen who made the boats, and Gan Ning brought many brothers to mix in them.

"Quick, quick, quick, don't grind." Several soldiers boarded Gan Ning's fishing boat and urged impatiently.

Gan Ning was wearing a hat and a coarse linen coat, Zhang Xiu's soldiers didn't know him at all, and no one paid attention to him, Gan Ning readily agreed, "Sit down, military masters, start the boat." ”

Propping up the penny and rowing hard, the boat floated out more than ten meters at once like an arrow from the string, fast and steady, and the soldiers praised "Shout, I really didn't see it, you poor fisherman, you really have two hits." ”

Gan Ning pretended to smile honestly, "The military master has won the award, and the young ancestors have been fishing for a living, and if they have no other skills, they will row and fish." ”

Chen Shi brought 2,500 people this time, and he needed to cross the river several times, at most a few hundred people each time, and Gan Ning was not in a hurry to do it, until the soldiers had crossed halfway, Chen Shi boarded the boat, no coincidence did not write a book, he happened to get on Gan Ning's boat.

Although Gan Ning didn't know him, as soon as he saw his dress and bearing, he had already guessed that he was the main general leading the team, and Gan Ning shouted, "Sit tight, Master Jun." ”

In my heart, there was a sneer: "It's really heaven that you don't have a way to go, and hell has no door to cast, this time, if you hit Lao Tzu's hands, no one can save you." ”

After a while, the boat came to the middle of the river smoothly, Gan Ning suddenly put the penny down, no one was paddling, no one controlled it, the boat swayed back and forth with the torrent, and kept spinning in the river.

At the same time, the other brothers of the Jinfan Army also stopped the ship.

"Hey, why don't you scratch?" Chen Shi asked puzzled.

Gan Ning took off the hat on his head, shook it casually as a pu fan, and looked at Chen Shi with a smile, "What's the hurry, it's so cold here, let me cool down first." ”

Seeing his hippie smile, Chen Shi was furious, choked, and pulled out his sword, "Dare to make a fool of the people, dare to tease me, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you." ”

Without waiting for Chen Shi to make a move, Gan Ning stomped his feet violently, stood up, and the boat shook violently, Chen Shi was shocked and angry, and he was a little panicked, Gan Ning jumped into the rolling river.
