"If so? It's too easy for me to close the middle! ”

Liu Fan said with a sigh, his face could not see joy or sorrow.

Xun You's words reminded Liu Fan of Li Dao and Guo Yan in history.

However, at this time, Li Dao and Guo Yan had been dominating Guanzhong for several months. What is the change in his mind, Liu Fan does not know.

If Li Dao and Guo Yan have self-knowledge, they will withdraw from Guanzhong. It can really save lives. But only temporarily.

"It's easy to get through the pass, but it's the most difficult to attack Liangzhou, not to mention that those who take a hundred steps are half ninety!" The prime minister should not be careless, Liangzhou is not as good as Guanzhong, the situation is complicated, please be careful! ”

Xun You reminded Liu Fan.

"I think so, too!"

Liu Fan nodded, and then said, "Li Dao and Guo Yan are marching together. In the middle of the night, I can't go far. I want to send light cavalry in pursuit. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, the river network near Chang'an is staggered. Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely escape day and night. When they crossed the river network of Chang'an and destroyed the bridge, we could only look at the ocean and sigh! ”

Xun You shook his head and said.

"I chased Li Dao and Guo Yan, not just to catch them up. Li Dao and Guo Yan are tyrannical by nature. If you want to leave Chang'an, you will definitely implicate the people of Chang'an. I sent pursuers not to catch up, but to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. Let it not dare to loot Chang'an, so it can only flee west in a hurry! In addition, he went to the direction of Wuguan and sent an order to Gongming, ordering him to lead 20,000 cavalry and advance to Chang'an first. If you can capture Li Dao and Guo Yan, it will be great. If not, let its vitality be greatly damaged! ”

Liu Fan explained to Xun Yu beside him.

"The prime minister's plan is very thorough. But don't forget Ma Teng and Han Sui, the prime minister. These two soldiers and horses are stronger than Li Dao and Guo Yan. There are also the Qiang tribes and Di tribes in Liangzhou who are also the henchmen of the Han Dynasty. If Li Dao and Guo Yan withdraw from Chang'an, and the prime minister is stationed in Sanfu, he must strictly guard against secrecy. ”

Xun You reminded Liu Fan.

"I will not forget these two people, after pacifying Guanzhong, I ordered the soldiers under my command to recuperate in Guanzhong for ten days and half a month, and then set a plan to enter Longdi in Liangzhou on the whole line."

Liu Fan nodded back, saying that he would not forget.

"To capture Liangzhou, the 10,000 cavalry of Shangjun can also come in handy. The minister suggested that after Huang Zhong, the general of Zhengxi, pacified the White Wave Thieves, he could send some elite troops into the pass! ”

Xun You said to Liu Fan.

"Not bad! After I gather 100,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, I will enter Liangzhou again. It should be possible to pacify Liangzhou quickly! ”

Liu Fan accepted Xun You's suggestion.

Then, Liu Fan ordered Xu Chu to lead Long Xiang to ride 2,000 and pursue along the way.

He also let Wang Yue's army scouts spread from Guanzhong to Wuguan.

Once Xu Huang is found, give his letter to Xu Huang.

On the same day, Xu Huang of Wuguan, with the cooperation of Yang Ding, easily took the Sanqin fortress.

The cliffs are high and the valleys are deep, narrow and difficult to walk. No matter how dangerous the road is, it can't match the inside and the outside.

After Xu Huang won the Wuguan, he carried 40,000 steps and rushed to the Guanzhong.

In Lantian, Xu Huang met the scouts of the Jian army and conveyed Liu Fan's orders.

After reading the letter, Xu Huang did not hesitate, and after summoning his subordinates to explain, he led 20,000 horsemen to Chang'an.

Huayin City, just one day after Hu Feng left the city.

Gao Shun ran a long way from Fenglingdu and took the trap camp.

The trapped camp galloped violently, and due to the lack of manpower in Huayin City, in less than half an hour, Huayin City, which only had a thousand soldiers, was breached.

At this point, Hongnong counties all surrendered to Liu Fan.

When Liu Fanshuai led the soldiers to Weinan, Zhao Yun led the Long Xiang cavalry to return to the team.

"Zilong has worked hard! The situation has changed too much. Although it is not satisfactory, the situation is under control of our army. ”

Liu Fan said to Zhao Yun.

"Prime Minister, five thousand soldiers in Huayin City, the whole army has been wiped out!"

Zhao Yun said to Liu Fan.

"Not bad!"

Liu Fan nodded happily, and suddenly Zhao Yun frowned, so he asked, "Is this trip unsmooth?" If so, please read it carefully. ”

"Prime Minister, I have captured a Xiliang general in this battle! It is Zhao Yun's senior brother, Zhang Xiu, a native of Northland. ”

Zhao Yun replied to Liu Fan.

"Since it's Zilong's fellow senior brother. It must be a man of outstanding courage. Would he be willing to serve under me? ”

Liu Fan replied to Zhao Yun again.

Zhang Xiu was one of the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, and with the help of Jia Xu, he defeated Cao Cao twice.

Although they all rely on Jia Xu's strategies, his ability is beyond doubt.

Zhao Yun is ashamed, Zhang Xiu is not willing to take refuge in the prime minister! When his uncle Zhang Ji was on the battlefield, he was said to have been killed by our army. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said.

"Zilong is taking care of the old feelings, but let me bypass Zhang Xiu's life!"

Liu Fan looked at Zhao Yun and said.

"It is a capital crime for a traitor to be captured and not surrendered! Zhao Yun was fortunately promoted by the prime minister to be the general of Long Xiang and the commander of Long Xiang's cavalry. The prime minister has always emphasized that military orders are like mountains, and Yun, as a general, should lead by example! No matter how the lord dealt with it, Zhao Yun did not complain. ”

Zhao Yun said to Liu Fan in a righteous manner.

"Good! Zhang Xiu stayed here first. I'm of great use. ”

Liu Fan smiled lightly and said to Zhao Yun.

In this way, he and Zhang Xiu have an enmity with each other.

However, Liu Fan has no time to deal with Zhang Xiu now. Zhang Xiu was first imprisoned in Weinan, and when he was completely rested in Guanzhong, he would try Zhang Xiu.

"Zhao Yun thanked the prime minister!"

Zhao Yun said to Liu Fan.

He knew that if Liu Fan said this, he would definitely spare Zhang Xiu's life.

However, Zhao Yun felt a pity in his heart, Zhang Xiu was a first-class martial artist, capable of writing and martial arts, and he should make contributions in the second half of his life, not be unknown.

"Zilong, you led the dragon horses under your command, entered Chang'an one step ahead of me, and joined Xu Chu. Whoever dares to rebel in Guanzhong will be killed. ”

At the end, Liu Fan ordered Zhao Yun.

In the land of three auxiliaries, Liu Fan will be handed over to Wei Qi to govern. He wants a relatively complete Guanzhong, not a fragmented Sanfu.

"No!"

Zhao Yun was ordered to leave.

……

Li Dao and Guo Yan led the non-riding, day and night, sleepless long journey, and finally returned to Chang'an.

Li Dao and Guo Yan wanted to loot a little more of the big families, and the baggage and grain of the strong grain were in case of emergency.

However, as soon as Li Dao and Guo Yan arrived in Chang'an, Xu Chu led the cavalry to chase after them first.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were shocked and difficult to attach, so they destroyed the river network and prevented Xu Chu from advancing westward.

Less than half a day. Li Dao and Guo Yan have not yet loaded gold, silver, jewelry, and grain into the car.

In the southeast direction, 20,000 horsemen came to Baling.

The cavalry dismounted and was preparing to repair the destroyed bridge and raise troops to cross the river.

Under the urging of Cheng Gongying, Li Dao and Guo Yan began to order to give up plundering the people of Chang'an. Prepare to escape westward to the land of Sanfu.

Cheng Gongying understood that the enemy army was now coming with cavalry, once Liu Fan's infantry arrived. It is very likely that Li Dao and Guo Yan will be wiped out as a result.
