In the southern part of Bingzhou, at the junction of the two states, it is now a gathering of large armies, and it looks like a war cloud.

However, if one could enter the barracks on both sides and take a closer look, they would find that the situation on both sides was very different.

In the north and in several military camps in Bingzhou, a warrior named Xuanjia stood still, and on their faces, pride and anger could be seen, like a male lion that had been enraged.

On the other hand, in the south, in the surrounding barracks, there is a sense of panic and confusion, and those soldiers, generals, and generals all have a feeling of panic all day long, like headless ants, running around in the barracks.

In addition, there were many messenger-like people who kept coming out of the barracks on the south side and running to the barracks on the north side.

"Captain, the Southern Army has sent three more envoys over......

As soon as the people below reported the news, Ran Zhan, who was sitting in the big tent of the Chinese army, waved his hand impatiently, and said unabashedly: "No, no, no, it's really disturbing, I can send ten messengers a day, is this to send all the officials in the south?" Did they tell them all, I only care about fighting, and everything else has nothing to do with me! If anyone comes, I'll whip me again!" ”

The messenger smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, listen to your subordinates, the three people who came this time are a little different, I heard that one of them is still the general's old subordinate. ”

"The old lord of the lord?" Ran Zhan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "It's really fake, it can't be the fake news deliberately released by someone who sees me and doesn't see him, right?" ”

"This ......" The man hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head and said: "It's really hard to say, but there should be no one who dares to spread rumors about the general and his old man, unless those people in the south really don't want to live anymore, didn't the general be an official in Luoyang, maybe he was an old subordinate at that time." ”

"What you said is very reasonable," Ran Zhan thought about it, and felt that if it was really Chen Zhi's old subordinates, it would not be very appropriate to drive him away directly, "In this way, you take people to a tent to rest first, whether you can see it or not, I will think about it again." ”

The man took the order and left, and Ran Zhan immediately called Gao He over.

Gao and his current status is also different, the previous few suggestions, were praised by Chen Zhi, and he was even more promoted, and now his authority is gradually expanding, and he is no longer simply Ran Zhan's subordinate, but as Ran Zhan's adjutant, he is still by his side, and his friendship is not shallow.

When he encounters something that is difficult to decide, Ran Zhan will find Gao He and ask him to give it to the staff officer, and now of course it is no exception.

"You said that this general is subordinate, is it true or false?" Roughly explaining the situation, Ran Zhan waited for the answer.

Gao and still have a lot of work on hand, but he still rushed to the first time, after hearing this, he smiled: "It won't be fake, the lord was an official in Luoyang, and he served in two yamen, and there are also many old departments, not to mention, Zhou Ao of that generation of the county is to follow the lord, and the others have stayed in Luoyang, and some have made achievements, presumably when the three kings were coerced by the emperor, some of the lord's old departments also followed the past, and now they know that friction broke out on the border, and the clan hurriedly mobilized them, As an envoy, it is natural to want to climb friendship. ”

"You mean to say that these people were actually temporarily transferred from Guanzhong?" Ran Zhan said, but he was a little unhappy, "In this way, Sizhou outside Tongguan is probably peaceful, and you can be an official at will." ”

Gao and said: "The lord did such a big thing, the Xiongnu country collapsed directly, but the world was scared, and Shile was no exception, he looted Luoyang a few days ago, wrapped up the population of the people, and many family scholars, returned north together, that is, I was worried that the lord also had a move on Jizhou, and when he went back, he also fought with the king of Hejian and forced the waste prince to retreat, so that Sizhou was of course calm. ”

"Shile has already withdrawn?" Ran Zhan was a little surprised by the news.

"It seems that you haven't paid much attention to the surrounding situation lately," Gao He shook his head with a smile, "but it's no wonder, after all, the situation here is also quite complicated." ”

"But isn't it, if it weren't for the general's order, where could I let those southern troops be arrogant?" As soon as he mentioned this, Ran Zhan was a little annoyed, "The north of Sizhou was originally also in the territory of the Xiongnu State, and if we destroyed the Xiongnu, all the land should be controlled by the Xuanjia army, but they actually took advantage of the Xuanjia to occupy those two counties in advance when Xuanjia did not arrive, which is simply taking advantage of the fire to rob!" ”

The more he spoke, the more irritated he became.

It turned out that the Xiongnu Kingdom had joined forces with Shile, taking advantage of the chaos within the imperial court and the collapse of the surrounding area, they went south together to encroach and took Pingyang County in Sizhou and part of Hedong County in their hands.

As a result, this time the Xiongnu collapsed, and part of the Xiongnu army in the south went north with Liu Cang, and part surrendered directly after getting the news, but they didn't expect that those who surrendered ran into the army that came out of Guanzhong, thinking that both sides were a family, so they took advantage of the situation to join the court.

In this way, the territory of this half-county was actually "recovered" by the armies to which the two kings belonged, and the generals of these armies immediately couldn't wait to send the news back to the court-

They want to quickly give this record down, so that after the imperial court confirms it, it will become an established fact, so that even if your Xuanjia army is powerful, it will not be good to save the face of the imperial court, right?

But when the Xuanjia Army came, when they saw such a situation, they were not happy immediately, after all, it was their Xuanjia Army that really fought to the death and defeated the Huns.

So Ran Zhan didn't say a word, and directly asked the army to drive south, to snatch the two counties back.

As a result, of course, a conflict broke out, where are those Guanzhong soldiers who are the opponents of the Xuanjia Army, as soon as they come into contact, they will immediately collapse, if it weren't for Yang Yuan's order in the name of the General's Mansion to let Ran Zhan suspend the offensive, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong would have suffered heavy casualties.

"Yang Yuan is also confused, why don't you attack quickly, but you have to stop me." Speaking of this, Ran Zhan was also angry, feeling that he was angry at both ends, and this thought was blocked in his heart and difficult to stretch.

Gao He said: "This is also Yang Jun's cautious move, I don't know what the general means, where can I easily break the harmony of the two families." ”

"Now that the lord's meaning is clear, why should you worry?" Ran Zhan was still puzzled.

Gao and explained: "The army of the two kings is different from the Xiongnu, the latter is the Hu people to establish a country, steal the land, it is not right, destroy it, the world is fast, but the former has an orthodox name, if it is not necessary, lightly start the war, it is not conducive to the future, and it is not helpful to the wind evaluation, it is to be cautious, no excuse is not allowed to rise, but if you have the heart, it is better to know more, there is the old department of the lord here, it will be invited to ask about the matter of Guanzhong, or there is a harvest." ”
