In the morning, the sky was bright, and a horse rushed into the camp waving a flag. Ryuuji, who had just changed shifts, immediately stopped the person, "What person?" ”

"General! Lord Fan was defeated!! ”

"What?!" Guo Yi, who was still asleep, got the news, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly took over the military intelligence report.

Fan Xin wrote concisely that when attacking Zhangxian County, he encountered an army of 30,000 led by Han Sui, and the enemy was outnumbered and retreated to the northern part of Longxi County.

Guo Yi spread out the map, marked the geographical location, and was dumbfounded. Han Sui's army had cut off the link between Longxi and Wudu County, and Fan Xin was now isolated, even if he did not suffer further military strikes, after the supply line was cut off, how long the grain and grass could support was a big question.

About an hour and a half later, Yang Bo arrived in the dust, he got the news earlier than Guo Yi, but he made some other preparations.

"General, there are currently two counties in Longxi in the hands of our army, and the defense is not bad. As long as Han Sui's defense line can be broken, the military needs can be transported to Lord Fan's army again. ”

Yang Bo pointed to the route on the map, he had already arranged for manpower to stabilize the supply line and avoid the loss of logistics personnel, although Han Sui was victorious, he did not capture much grain and grass. At present, the economic situation of Wudu County is not bad, and the imperial court has stabilized the area around Chencang, and materials can be continuously transported from Sili and Hanzhong to Wudu.

"General, the top priority is to attack Shangguo County, force Han Sui to return to the division, and relieve the pressure on Lord Fan. With Master Fan's strategy, it should be able to last for about ten days. ”

Ideas are always good, and Yang Bo's judgment is correct. But can Shangguo County be captured in ten days?

After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Yi decided to believe in Fan Xin's ability to save his life, and he would take Shangguo County first. "Tomorrow at the latest, the imperial army's army will arrive in Shangguo County, and once Shangguo is captured, it will be able to move west to recover Hanyang County, and Longxi County will also be in the bag. You go back first and make sure there are no problems with the supply lines. ”

"No."

Things were arranged, but the anxiety in Guo Yi's heart did not alleviate at all. Fan Xin was defeated, and Han Sui, who was attracted to him, was bound to return to Hanyang County to resist the imperial court's attack. Several other counties will follow, and the difficulty of capturing Hanyang County will increase exponentially.

Guo Yi inspected the camp and carefully arranged every detail. It's tiring, but you have to do it in order to win. The kingdom army made several tentative attacks, and it seemed that they also planned to wait for reinforcements to arrive before launching a decisive battle.

If he wins, then there will be no more armies from Tianshui to Sili, and he may be able to kill Chang'an City in one go, or even point to Luoyang.

In the evening, the banner of the Han Dynasty advanced to the west like a dark cloud, swallowing the sunset of Liangzhou little by little.

"General Pingxi, General Huangfu is invited!" The vanguard scout brought the order of Huangfu Song, who was the chief general of this counterinsurgency and was Guo Yi's direct superior, and his order represented the will of the imperial court to a certain extent.

Long Yi was dissatisfied with the attitude of the scouts, and complained: "Lord, we have been fighting here for more than half a year, and we finally have the current results. This Huangfu Song isn't here to grab credit, right? ”

"It's not." If Huangfu Song is not bad as recorded in history, then he will definitely not take credit. He was an absolute loyal, an exemplary feudal courtier, and everything was based on the emperor's orders. "Let's go, respect General Huangfu!"

Guo Yi did not approve of Huangfu Song's attitude towards things, but he admired this attitude. It's easy to be mercenary, and there is no one in ten thousand who sticks to himself.

"General Guo, meet for the first time." To Guo Yi's surprise, Huangfu Song actually came out of the camp three miles to greet him and came over to greet him warmly. "General Guo's heroic boy, the blessing of the Han! Come, a banquet has been set up, and the general is invited to drink together. ”

"The general is gracious." Guo Yi was flattered, hurriedly dismounted and saluted, and said respectfully: "The last general was born in Jizhou, if there is no Huangfu general who loves the people like a son, I am afraid that he will become a lonely ghost long ago, where can there be today?" The general must not be so polite. ”

It's really the wind of celebrities! Huangfu Song secretly admired in his heart, when he was in charge of Jizhou, why didn't he find such heroes? Fortunately, God's will is very fortunate that Guo Yi's talent has not been buried, allowing him to make great contributions to the Han Dynasty.

"The soldiers are fast. There is no need for such red tape in the army, General Guo got on his horse and walked with me. ”

Camp. Although Huangfu Song has only been here for an hour, the camp is already quite solid, and the attack and defense are based on the mountain, which can also be seen that Huangfu Song has a good way of governing the army.

On the north side of the camp, Dong Zhuo's army was stationed. The flag is unfurled, and the momentum is magnificent. But the appearance of the army is not so elegant, the soldiers are quite casual, and most of them are Qiang and Huns, and less than half of the Han people are there, which shows that Dong Zhuo has indeed been operating in the frontier for many years and has a deep foundation.

Long Yi whispered: "Bingzhou and Liangzhou are all barbarians and the like, and they cannot be edified. ”

Guo Yi smiled and said nothing, these two places were the "inherent territory" of the Han Dynasty in the Western Han Dynasty, but the Eastern Han Dynasty was weak and took care of itself, so it made the border areas deviate from Germany and wasted Emperor Wu's peerless martial arts. If Wei Qing and Huo Qu are alive...... Never mind. How can one or two generals turn the tide of the decline of a dynasty?

Sitting, Huangfu Song is General Zuo, the chief general of this western expedition, sitting on the upper seat. Dong Zhuo is a former general, a deputy general, ranked above Guo Yi, and sits at the top. General Guo Yi is the lowest, sitting in the second seat, theoretically speaking, he is not even a deputy general, he should belong to the magistrate.

Huangfu Song was the host of the banquet, and after beckoning everyone to take a seat, he raised his glass and introduced, "This is Guo Yi, the general of Liangzhou and Pingxi." This is the former general Dong Zhuo. ”

Guo Yi raised his glass and said, "Fortunately." ”

Dong Zhuo's first impression is similar to the image in games and TV series, but he looks more amiable, and at first glance he will never suspect that he will become a traitor through the ages. He is obese, but judging by the exposed arm, he has a lot of muscles and is quite powerful. It is no wonder that Cao Cao was afraid of his strange power when he assassinated him.

Guo Yi, the person standing behind Dong Zhuo, didn't know anyone, and he didn't have the ability to "look at faces". However, it is estimated that Jia Xu, Li Ru, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong and others should be there. They were the core figures of the Liangzhou forces and the key groups that disturbed the situation in the late Han Dynasty.

"Fortunately." Dong Zhuo looked Guo Yi up and down, with some disdain in his eyes, and asked: "I heard that General Guo was born in a poor family, but he is a famous man in Changshan and a well-known person in the sea. In the land of the Central Plains, no one can care? ”

Huangfu Song's face changed, but he didn't speak, he wanted to see how Guo Yi would resolve this crisis. Everyone else is also smiling and waiting to watch the show.

"Huh." Guo Yi said coldly: "I am really determined to be Guo's family, a scholarly heirloom." Today, I came here with the scepter of the Son of Heaven to educate Xiliang. Let the ignorant children know the words of the saints, and bathe the emperor in the wilderness. I heard that General Dong was born in the land of Xiliang, so he specially prepared a gift to express his heart. ”

Guo Yi took out a copy of "Analects" and asked Long Yi to take it. When Dong Zhuo and the others saw it, their faces suddenly changed, isn't this scolding them for being uneducated? ! Scold them for not knowing the words of the saints, and not knowing the emperor's grace!

"Country man!" Dong Zhuo grabbed Long Yi's wrist violently and forbade him to put the book down.

The dragon felt as if his hand was caught by iron pliers, and the pain rushed directly to the top of his head! Gritting his teeth, he forcibly put the book on the table, stared at Dong Zhuo's already round eyes, and said word by word: "The gift has been delivered, Lord Dong will inspect the goods!" ”

"Xiao'er Ann dares to bully me?!" Dong Zhuo immediately drew his sword, but was pressed back by Long Yi holding the hilt of the sword, and the two froze at once.

"Zheng!" Dong Zhuofang's generals immediately drew their swords and prepared to protect the master, but Long Yi took advantage of the situation to withdraw his hand, took a step back suddenly, and arched his hand: "In the Analects, there is a saying of 'courtesy and exchange', and adults can learn more. ”

After speaking, Long Yi turned around and strode back behind Guo Yi and sat down.
