721, the strangeness of Yunyang County
Han Sui was now also in the central area of the entire army, riding a horse and slowly following the overall marching speed of the army, but his face was gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.
Some of the personal guards around Han Sui did not dare to easily provoke Han Sui's anger during this time, and they were even more cautious in their work, once they made a mistake, they would inevitably be punished by Han Sui personally with more than a dozen whips.
It was also in such a dreary atmosphere that suddenly a herald ordered the cavalry from the front of the army to quickly ride their horses to this side, as if something had happened in front of them.
"Say, what's the matter, but that Zhang Liao is here again?"
Han Sui was also attracted by this movement, so he asked the herald cavalry to come close to speak, but the meaning of this question was obviously a little cold.
"Report, Dashuai, it was Yan Xianfeng who sent a message from the front, and Yunyang County could already be seen in front, but Yan Xianfeng sent someone to Yunyang County to contact, but there was no response, and no one in Yunyang County has come out to greet him so far, Yan Xianfeng suspects that something may have happened in Yunyang County!"
The cavalry who gave the order hurriedly said to Han Sui the message sent from the front, obviously Han Sui sent his son-in-law Yan Xing to be the vanguard at the front of the army, and now Yan Xing has seen Yunyang County.
Therefore, Yan Xing sent people to Yunyang County to contact the candidates, wanting the candidates to come out to receive the main force of Han Sui's army into the city, but there was no response from Yunyang County, which made Yan Xing a little suspicious.
Yan Xing couldn't help but send a message to Han Sui's side, hoping that Han Sui could take precautions and have a response in advance.
"Yunyang County? Did something happen to the candidates? ”
Han Sui frowned again when he heard this, although this time it was not the news of Zhang Liao's attack, but this Yunyang County was also a foothold that he valued more seriously, if something happened to Yunyang County, it would not be easy to withdraw to the old nest in Liangzhou safely.
Of course, this candidate is not Han Sui's direct subordinate after all, and Han Sui is really not sure if there will be any changes on the candidate's side.
However, no one can give Han Sui an answer now, so Han Sui thought for a while before giving the order again, asking the central and rear armies to stop and guard for the time being, and then Han Sui rushed forward with nearly a thousand personal guard cavalry around him.
Yan Xing, who was at the forefront of Han Sui's army, although it was a vanguard army with nearly 4,000 cavalry, but under the threat of the light cavalry of Zhu Weijun led by Zhang Liao, in fact, the vanguard army led by Yan Xing did not have much distance from the main force of Han Sui's army behind.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Han Sui to reach the front, and Yan Xing had already stopped more than 4,000 cavalry here, and did not continue to advance in the direction of Yunyang County.
This side is only two or three miles away from Yunyang County, and on the Guanzhong Plain, which is not covered, you can see the city and earthen walls of Yunyang County in front of you by standing on some high slopes.
Of course, around Yunyang County, there were originally many villages that were attached to the county seat, so many places around the county town also reclaimed a lot of fields.
It's just that most of these villages are now uninhabited, and the fields have naturally become plains and grasslands again, but because of the development and utilization of land by humans, the forests that may have existed here have basically been cut down.
Therefore, Han Suijun's soldiers could see from a distance that Yunyang County was not a very towering earthen city wall in front of him, and I believe that the people in Yunyang County at this time should have also discovered the traces of Han Suijun.
In this way, if it is normal, not to mention that Yan Xing has already sent someone to Yunyang County to contact the candidates, even if he does not send people over, the candidates should also send people out to greet them.
But now there is no movement in Yunyang County, only the gate of the county seat is open, as if it is just an empty city inside, but the people sent by Yan Xing before have entered the county seat, and there is no news, which shows that there must be something strange in the county.
Yan Xing cautiously found a high slope and observed Yunyang County in front of him, but it was still impossible to directly see the situation in the county seat.
It's just that the county town also faintly gave Yan Xing a bit of a murderous feeling, he suspected that there was some army in ambush, so if the army on his side approached Yunyang County, he was afraid that something would happen soon.
"Yanming, but what did you find!"
After Han Sui led the troops up, he also went directly to Yan Xing's place, and also looked at Yunyang County, and asked Yan Xing again.
"Father, there seems to be an ambush in Yunyang County! Could it be that Zhu Weijun is already blocked here! ”
Yan Xing said with a little worry, although he was still young, he had also followed Han Sui to participate in many battles in the Northwest Land, so he could instinctively feel a little dangerous.
Han Sui also frowned, Han Sui, who was able to run rampant in the northwest for so long, naturally had extraordinary experience, and such a strange performance in Yunyang County in front of him made Han Sui also feel a little murderous.
Coupled with the fact that his army was attacked and harassed by Zhang Liao and his troops before, which greatly delayed the speed of the march, it was really very possible to be chased to the front by Zhu Weijun.
It's just that now Han Sui doesn't know what happened to the candidates who originally stayed in Yunyang County, whether they were eliminated by Zhu Weijun, or whether they had rebelled against him and joined Zhu Weijun instead.
After all, if the candidate is beaten by Zhu Weijun, at least some people should be able to escape, and maybe they will encounter the army on Han Sui's side, so they can naturally send news to Han Sui's army.
But now there is no news about the candidate, and the Yunyang County in front of him is so weird, Han Sui naturally has doubts about the candidate.
"No matter what, this Yunyang County must pass through, our army withdrew from Chang'an in a hurry, and was disturbed by that Liao attack along the way, if you can't rest in Yunyang County, I'm afraid that the army's heart will be unstable! Yanming, for my father, I will press the battle for you here, and you will lead the troops to take a look! Hmph, just let the children see the blood and release the sullenness of these days! ”
Han Sui had a few more thoughts in his mind, and in the end he could only find a way to try the situation in Yunyang County, if he bypassed Yunyang County like this, then his army would be a little difficult to stabilize.
Although Han Sui took the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an City, after all, he was also driven out after being defeated, even if he was not embarrassed to lose his armor, he still had the intention of leaving in a hurry.
was pursued all the way by Zhang Liao with his troops before, but Han Sui had no way to take Zhang Liao, which inevitably weakened his prestige in the army.
Originally, Han Suijun wanted to go to Yunyang County to have a good rest, but if he bypassed Yunyang County now, he was afraid that the breath that was originally hanging would be difficult to sustain.
Now even if there is really Zhu Wei's army in Yunyang County, Han Sui would rather have a good fight with Zhu Wei's army, so that the soldiers in the army can vent.
Han Sui knew that his army could also be regarded as a vicious wolf in the northwest, but now he let Zhu Weijun get some lost dogs, if he didn't let these soldiers see blood again, then they would really become defeated dogs and lose their wolf nature......
