In late November of the second year of Tai'an (387 AD), the former Lü Guangbu conspired against Xu Jiong and Peng Huang, the Taishou of Zhangye, and erected a counter-flag in Zhangye. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, Xiping Taishou Kangning killed Huanghe Taishou Qiangxi, and also openly rebelled against Lü Guang and proclaimed himself the king of the Xiongnu.

Wang Mu, the former captain of Qin Changshui, took the opportunity to attack and occupy Jiuquan, claiming to be a general and a pastor of Liangzhou.

Xu Jiong, Peng Huang, Kang Ning, and Wang Mu echoed each other and jointly raised troops to rebel against Lü Guang, which shocked the entire Liangzhou for a while.

What's more serious is that with the rebellion of various counties and counties in Liangzhou, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Qiang and other Hu tribes who were originally peaceful also began to move.

As soon as the big change happened, Lü Guang immediately ordered Shazhou Assassin Shi Du to enter and send troops to recruit Peng Huang, while he himself sat in Guzang, and sent his son Lü Su to command 30,000 troops to the south to attack Kangning.

At the beginning of December, Lü Su, who had led the army to attack Kangning, was defeated and returned alone, which immediately caused an uproar in the outside world and further eroded the situation in Hexi.

However, when Lu Guang was in a hurry, there was bad news that Lu Shuihu's leader Fuqu Luo had attacked and occupied Xijun.

At the same time, Peng Xinian, the leader of the Southern Qiang of the Qin Domain in the southeast and west, also took the opportunity to send troops to Baitujin, a strategic town on the north bank of Huangshui.

In the face of the dangerous situation everywhere, Lu Guang gave Du Jin, Jiang Fei and other former Western Expedition heroes an official and a knight, and appeased the group of Western Expedition heroes who were somewhat detached; On the other hand, they seized the time to deploy troops and planned to recruit the traitors themselves.

Not to mention how Lü Guang dispatched troops, Du Jin, who was sitting in Dunhuang, received the news that Peng Huang and Wang Mu had raised troops, and immediately ordered the defenders to guard the city, and at the same time sent Duan Ye to Gaochang for help.

In fact, as early as the end of November, Gaochang got the news of Peng Huang's rebellion, but because he did not receive an urgent report for help, Wei Shuo could only wait anxiously, while secretly ordering the main cavalry force to secretly advance to Yumen Pass.

Duan Ye, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of asking for help, knew that the military situation was like fire, so he galloped out of Yumen Pass and went straight to Gaochang.

Knowing that Duan Ye had finally come, Wei Shuo, Yang Han and others quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of Duan Ye not only brought Gaochang the name of sending troops in an upright manner, but also laid the foundation for the future attack on Yumen Pass.

In the Gaochang Taishou Mansion, the guards of the Western Regions sat on the main seat of the inner hall, browsing with a secret newspaper in his hand, and the left and right were Gaochang's civil and military ministers.

"My lord, what did Du Tingshi say?"

"Hexi is in chaos." Wei Shuo's face was full of excitement, he knew that the opportunity to take Liangzhou had come.

"My lord, what the hell is going on? Is Gao Chang going to do it? ”

"That's right, I just received an urgent report from Du Shi, Peng Huang, Wang Mu, Kang Ning, and Xu Jiong all supported the rebellion, plus the Huns who raised troops to rebel, and the Xianbei people of Western Qin who invaded the army, and now the entire Liangzhou is in chaos."

"And at the beginning, Lu Guang underestimated the rebels, not only did he not go out in person at the first time, but even the experienced Jiang Fei did not dispatch, and only sent his son Lu Su to lead the troops to quell the rebellion."

"Although Lu Su is known as the Lu family's Qianli Ju and is a rising star of the Lu family, after all, after all, he is an experienced Kangning opponent after experiencing the battle formation for the first time? As a result, 30,000 soldiers and horses rushed forward with the enemy, and were defeated by Kangning and fled. ”

"It was the defeat of Lü Su that made the rebels in various places rise in momentum, and even the Huns, Xianbei people, and Qiang people also joined the rebellion."

"Really? In this way, Liangzhou will be at your fingertips? ”

When everyone learned of the chaos in Liangzhou, they were all excited, and they all got up to ask for battle. Ran Weishuo glanced at the generals in front of him, and finally fixed his eyes on Li Wei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the big war is about to start, and you must not slack off until the final victory is decided."

"And during the eastward advance of the main force of the army, in order to prevent the people of the Western Regions from taking the opportunity to sneak attack Gaochang, someone must also stay and guard."

"Commander Li, you have always been steady and resourceful."

"During this expedition, Gaochang will be handed over to you, be sure to assist Yang Taishou to be optimistic about Gaochang, and never allow the slightest accident."

"Please rest assured, there are subordinates here, and Gaochang will be safe." Li Wei got up and hugged his fists.

Although it was a little regrettable that he could not go to Liangzhou, Li Wei quickly cleaned up his lost mood.

Staying in Gaochang may not have a chance to fight, the countries of the Western Regions have always been eyeing Gaochang, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the opportunity to sneak attack.

After arranging the matter of staying in Gaochang, Wei Shuo immediately ordered Song Miao and Kang Long to go out with him.

Because the key to this battle was a long-distance attack, Wei Shuo only took 12,000 cavalry and 300 Mo swordsmen with him when he set out on the expedition, leaving all the infantry in Gaochang.

……

When the army was about to arrive at Yumen Pass, Wei Shuo invited Duan Ye to join the army, preparing to take Yumen Pass with his help.

"Duan joins the army, please take a seat." Wei Shuo greeted Duan Ye warmly.

At this time, Ye was in a very complicated mood, when he first saw Wei Shuo, he was still just a small Cang Cao Shi, and Gao Chang was in danger under the deterrence of the Western Expeditionary Army!

Wei Shuo signed an alliance with the metropolitan governor Lu Guang as an envoy, and Duan Ye didn't see how capable he was at that time. However, who knew that two years had passed, and he himself was implicated by Du Jin, and he was almost not promoted. But Wei Shuo has unknowingly been on one side, and now he is leading more than 10,000 cavalry, thousands of miles to the country.

"Wei Duhu is polite, I don't know what to do here?" Perhaps not angry with Wei Shuo's official fortune, Duan Ye's tone of speech was a little stiff.

Wei Shuo didn't think it was angry at all, and still smiled and said: "Duan joins the army, you should know very well in your heart that my division Du Tingshi has always been suspicious of Governor Lü, otherwise he would not let his son Lü Fu serve as the protector of Yumen Pass." ”

Listening to Wei Shuo's words, Duan Ye was silent.

At the beginning, Du Jin lived with his tail between his legs in Guzang, and he knew very well, because even he himself was implicated because of this.

"If Wei swaggered and led the army to appear at Yumen Pass, Lu Fu would definitely close the city gate and not allow the army to pass. At present, Dunhuang is in danger, and the rebels may break through the city at any time. If the army is delayed here for one more minute, Dunhuang will be more dangerous. ”

"Once Dunhuang falls, Du Shi will not be spared."

"Lu Fu can not care about Master Du, but Master Du has the grace of reinvention for me, but I, Wei Shuo, can't care about Master Du's life or death, so I have to save him from the trap no matter what."

"But the Yumen Pass is steep, and my command is full of cavalry, so I can't attack it in a short time."

"Therefore, it is necessary to use a little trick to deceive the closure of the door, but this requires the cooperation of Duan Senjun."

Duan Ye quietly listened to Wei Shuo's explanation, and then his brain turned rapidly, and he quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

Obviously, as Du Jin's henchman, once Du Jin is defeated, his future will definitely be over.

Therefore, after a little thought, Duan Ye agreed to Wei Shuo's request.

Duan Ye was so cheerful that Wei Shuo expected, in fact, he didn't know that because Lu Guang wantonly excluded the heroes of the Western Expedition, he had already made the internal detachment.

"Okay, Duan is happy to join the army, when this battle is over, I should personally ask for credit for you in front of Master Du."

"I don't know what I need Ben to do when I join the army?" Duan Ye asked softly.

"The time for Lu Fu to guard the Yumen Pass is still short, and he has not yet figured out the reality of Gaochang. I intend to send 500 elite cavalry, pretending to be the vanguard of reinforcements, and personally lead the army under the command of Duan Senjun. ”

"If Lu Fu asked, Duan Senjun could reply that the Gaochang army was assembling, and you were worried about the situation in Hexi, so you borrowed five hundred cavalry from Zai Xia to return first."

"These 500 cavalry are not big or small, and they can not only stabilize the situation in Hexi, but also form a trend that the tail will not fall."

"Of course, Lu Fu is worried that Shuo is conspiring with Du Shi, but he will not watch the Lu family overturn, otherwise he will not have good fruits to eat."

"Therefore, in the face of hundreds of cavalry who are not to be worried, there is a good chance that he will open the city gate and let you pass."

"As long as Lu Fu is fooled, you will take the opportunity to open the city gate, and the army will follow closely and take the entire pass."

"Tsk, Wei Duan, good means, Duan admires."

Originally, Duan Ye was still dissatisfied with Wei Shuo's sudden rise to a high position, but now after listening to this plan, he realized that Wei Shuo had mastered the essence of the art of war, and the mustard in his heart immediately dissipated.
