Xihe County has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Taiyuan County has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Shangdang County has 30,000 soldiers and horses.

Liu Fan ordered Huang Zhong to disarm, and cut off those who did not want to be soldiers and incompetent soldiers, leaving only 30,000.

These 30,000 infantry were all commanded by Huang Zhong.

The 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry under Gai Xun's command will not withdraw their subordinates for the time being.

After Huang Zhong finished cutting the soldiers, he worked with Huang Zhong to encircle and suppress the white wave thieves.

Liu Fan hoped that Huang Zhong and Gai Xun would pacify Baibo within a month, so that Hetao and Shanxi would be connected, and the resources of various counties could be smoothly mobilized, so that the northwest of the Han Dynasty would take the lead in restoring.

As for the robbers in the counties of Shanxi, they all surrendered. The most heinous robbers will be killed as an example.

The white wave thieves can be called "army", and the other traitors in Shanxi are robbers, they gather in the mountains and forests, hide from the government, and do all the work of robbing houses and houses.

The government has the intention to suppress the bandits, and the robbers have nowhere to hide, unless they disband the team and find a way out. The suppression of bandits is unfavorable, and it can only be said that the local government is incompetent.

And under the elite soldiers, the robbers are not vulnerable at all.

As long as the robbers are not supported by the people, the robbers are a rabble, and Liu Fan will not take it seriously.

Black Mountain and White Wave are already gaining momentum. There were too many people with them in their tribes.

As for Tian Feng in the north of Taiyuan, Liu Fan ordered Tian Feng to lead his troops and horses back to Yanmen.

Tian Feng continued to work with Yang Xu to guard Yanmen and Hetao.

After arranging the affairs of the state and county, it was already the fourth watch, and Liu Fan fell asleep.

The next day, early in the morning.

Liu Fan led Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wang Yue and his personal guards to prepare for Hangu Pass.

Liu Fan prudently instructed Jia Xu and Xun Yu to maintain the logistics baggage, and once they entered Guanlong, the grain road was thousands of miles, which was the top priority.

Liu Fan knew that because of the war, Dunhuang and other counties had not set up a county for several years.

This time, he wanted to go through Dunhuang County and open up the road from Yumen Pass and Yangguan to the Western Regions.

"Xu Rong has a good way to govern the army, Zhang He is flexible in his use of troops, Gai Xun is a loyal and righteous person, and Zhu Wei is a veteran who is not old. These are all entrusted with important tasks. Yun Chang ruled Yingchuan in Yingchuan, looking at the current situation, and was peaceful for the time being. After the White Wave Thieves are pacified, it is very likely that I will continuously dispatch Huang Zhong's subordinates into Guanlong. And over there, please pay attention. ”

Before leaving, Liu Fan made a final explanation to Jia Xu and Xun Yu.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, we are all dead and dead!"

Jia Xu replied to Liu Fan.

Liu Fan nodded, then stepped onto the ink qilin and led more than two thousand guards to leave.

"If you can take down Shudi, the time to pacify the world will be shortened a lot."

Looking at the back of Liu Fan's long journey, Jia Xu stroked his beard and said seemingly to himself.

"I heard that the clouds are connected to the high mountains of Shudi, the sun and the moon are not seen in the deep valleys, the passes are dangerous, and the horses can only pass through the suspension of the car. Liu Yan had the foresight and used Yizhou to take refuge, he cut off the road from Yizhou to the Central Plains, and the prestige of the prime minister could not affect Shu. The soldiers and civilians of Shu resisted together, and the terrain alone could be worth a million troops. ”

Xun Yu beside him answered.

Jia Xu nodded, then looked at Xun Yu, and said, "Wen Ruo and I are both the king's henchmen, and the king entrusts the two of us with great affairs, and we should work together to assist the great cause." I heard that Wen Ruo has the reputation of a unicorn, and he is also a talented king. I also have some superficial opinions and would like to ask for advice. ”

"Don't dare to be, Ling Jun is a sage who came from the prime minister's thatched house and asked in the rain. It's me who wants to teach Lingjun! ”

Xun Yu responded modestly.

The two had a good heart, and after not hearing Liu Fan's horses' hooves, they returned to the city hand in hand.

……

Jing Zhao Yin, Baling. Yang Ding Mansion.

When Liu Fan went to Hangu Pass, Yang Ding's mansion ushered in an uninvited guest.

Yang Ding was named the general of the Broken Capture by Liu Fan, and Hu Zhen was named the general of Jianwu by Liu Fan.

can open a mansion, which means that the two of them will compete with Li Dao and Guo Yan.

"Who are you, and what are you looking for me?"

In the hall of Yang Ding's mansion, Yang asked a young man in his early thirties.

"I heard a few years ago that Yang Renovation was a heroic hero in Liangzhou, and I was a ranger swordsman at that time. is also a hero, don't you welcome it? ”

Shi A replied to Yang Ding calmly.

Liu Fan often sent envoys to give nominal rewards to Li Dao, Guo Yan, Hu Zhen, and Yang Ding. It was at that time that Shi Ah blended into Guanzhong.

"I am no longer a ranger, and now I am the general of the Han Dynasty."

Yang Ding frowned, he always felt that Shi A was not simple, because Shi A did not have the temperament of a ranger.

"I am no longer a ranger, but now I am a military captain under the command of the prime minister!"

Shi A said to Yang Ding unabashedly.

When Yang Ding heard this, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Someone!"

"The prince just said that he is the general of the Han Dynasty, and your official positions are all rewarded by the prime minister, and the prime minister sent me to catch up with you, and you changed color when you heard a word, which is not the same as I imagined!"

Yang Ding's guards heard Yang Ding's shouts, quickly held spears and swords, ran into the lobby, and surrounded Shi A.

But Shi A had already finished saying this, and Yang Ding changed color after hearing it, and waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat.

After the guards retreated in an uproar, Yang Ding said: "The prime minister has always sent envoys to Li Dao and Guo Yan, and he only gave me and Hu Zhen a perfunctory official position, and ignored them. It is indeed strange that you have come to me. ”

"Otherwise, the prime minister's most important thing is not Li Dao and Guo Yan, but Gong and Hu Wencai."

Shi A took a few steps forward and said to Yang Ding.

"What do you mean by that?"

Yang asked Shi A.

"Li Guo is fierce and rebellious, a chaotic minister and a thief. Those who kill Li Guo will be crowned marquis. The opportunity has come for the public to make meritorious contributions. ”

Shi A whispered back to Yang Ding.

"Turning against each other has been an act of injustice since ancient times. You are our great enemy, but Li Guo is our ally. The prime minister is fierce, but he is also good at trickery, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads are toyed with applause. Wise and scheming, such as Li Ru's generation, has also become a person in the bureau. Is the prime minister using a strategy to sow discord? ”

Yang Ding is also a witty person, and it is impossible for Shi A to fight with Li Dao and Guo Yan because of Shi A's words.

"In ancient times, you got a hundred catties of gold, so it is better to get Ji Bu Yinuo. Today's prime minister will practice his words, and he will do what he says. The prime minister's mind is like a big river and the sea, and he really doesn't hide it, when the prime minister was a hussar general, Wu Shi'a went to assassinate him. The prime minister was seriously injured, but he still forgave me. Even this kind of thing can be tolerated, will it still be possible to deceive you! ”

Shi Alang said loudly.

"Thou art Shia!"

Yang Ding was a little surprised, Shi A stabbed Liu Fan back then, and was interpreted by Liu Fan, and it spread in the rivers and lakes.

"Yes!" Shi A nodded and said to Yang Ding: "I said earlier that I wanted to catch up with the father, don't you want to ask, what does the old mean?"

"What do you mean?"

Yang Ding instinctively spoke.

"This is the Prime Minister's handwritten letter, please take a look!"

Shi A took out a letter and stepped forward to hand it to Yang Ding.

Tomorrow I will make up for that bucket of instant noodles, and I will go to work today, not to mention three watches.
