After the surrender of the Lushui Huju clan, Zuo Sima Wang Zhen immediately moved the camp of the Chinese army from Xiaoguan to Chaona County.

Chaona County, less than ten miles away from Xiaoguan in the south, has a very important strategic location and has always been a stable town.

There is a rare basin in Liupan Mountain, and the surrounding land is fertile and rich in water resources, which is very conducive to agricultural development.

Historically, the Han army had opened up military fields in Chaona and provided grain and grass for the Xiaoguan garrison.

After the Wei and Jin dynasties, the line of Xiaoguan and Chao was gradually occupied by Hulu, with the Xianbei tribe in the north and the Lushui Hu in the south.

Standing on the city wall, Wang Zhenwei looked at the abandoned fertile fields around him, and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

In the past, there were many Hulu in the territory of Anding, and where did Hulu know how to farm, resulting in many fertile fields being wasted.

Fortunately, it has been recovered by Hexi, and he believes that it will not be long before Chaona will restore the glory of the Qin and Han dynasties.

Just as Wang Zhen was thinking about future planning, he saw a long black line suddenly appear in the south, which was more than ten miles long.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Aha, Daoquan is back!" Let's go over and have a look. ”

The person who came was Huan Zhen, and I saw him riding on a tall horse, followed by a long procession.

Among them, in addition to the 1,000 Hexi cavalry, there were also thousands of captured Hulu and more than 1,000 war horses.

Huan Zhen walked in front of the team, and suddenly saw the lord Wang Zhen greet him in person, and hurriedly urged him to step forward.

He raised his right arm on his horse and saluted, "The last general will see the governor!" ”

Wang Zhenwei nodded and smiled: "Dao Quan has worked hard!" ”

General Huan Zhen ordered it to be taken out and handed back to Wang Zhenxi, and said with a smile on his face: "Governor, the last general was ordered to exterminate the Hus of Anding, and successfully killed five leaders of the Hulu, and captured more than 4,000 old and weak Hulu. ”

"Today, I have come to pay the order, and I also ask the governor to accept it."

Wang Zhenwei took the general's order, handed it to the army next to him, glanced at the string of prisoners again, and nodded with satisfaction.

Just as Huan Zhen was busy handing over, he saw another team coming from the south, which attracted everyone to stop and watch.

I saw a young man of about one or twenty years old, escorted by several Hexi cavalry, rushing in that direction.

The man galloped all the way, and when he came to the crowd, he turned over and dismounted.

He looked left and right for a moment, and then walked quickly to Wang Zhenwei and bowed.

"Your Excellency is a cousin of evil? The little brother Daofu is polite. ”

"What?! Are you Wei Daofu? That cousin of my uncle's family? ”

He looked up and down for a long time before he recognized the young man in front of him as his cousin Wei Daofu.

Speaking of which, when they were children, they also listened to the teachings of their grandfather Wang Meng together.

It's just that after the Battle of Weishui, there was chaos in the north, and Wang Zhenwei had not met his uncle Wei Zhen's family for nearly ten years.

The sudden sight of his cousin Wei Daofu today made Wang Zhenwei overjoyed.

He stepped forward and grabbed Wei Daofu's arm and asked excitedly, "How did you get here?" How are my uncle and aunt doing? ”

"This time, the younger brother was ordered by his father to come to Xiaoguan to meet his cousin."

"Unexpectedly, I met General Xue Tongxue halfway, and he was worried about danger on the way, so he sent people to escort his younger brother all the way here."

Wang Zhen's evil words moved in his heart, and he remembered Wei Zhen's letter before.

It seems that with the successive victories of the Hexi army, the Guan Long family can't sit still and wants to reach a compromise with Hexi as soon as possible.

At that moment, he pressed other thoughts and welcomed Wei Daofu into the county seat of Chaona.

Walking into the city, waiting for everyone to sit down, Wang Zhen smiled evilly and asked, "I don't know if my uncle is looking for me?" ”

Wei Daofu was about to answer, but he saw that the record had joined the army and hurriedly broke in, and reported the latest military situation to Wang Zhenwei.

"The scout came to report that the enemy general Yao Xian was gathering Hu Qingzhuang in a stable manner, although the exact number could not be determined, it was estimated that there were at least 20,000 people."

"Why are there so many? Didn't you say before that there were only more than 10,000 people in the Anding garrison? ”

"Back to the capital, not all of the enemy troops are Hou Qin soldiers, and many of them are young and strong."

"In this way, the entire Anding Hulu is on the side of Hou Qin?"

In this regard, Wang Zhenwei couldn't help but feel quite tricky.

It's not that Hexi is afraid of stabilizing Hulu, but that time does not allow Hexi to drag on the war.

It is estimated that in about ten days at most, Yao Shuode will lead the elite of Longxi to return to the division to settle down.

The Hexi Army must take Anding County before then, otherwise the situation is likely to change in other ways.

It wasn't that Wang Zhenwei hadn't thought about appeasing Zhonghu before, but because he was the backbone of supporting Yao Chang's self-reliance back then.

Most of them participated in Yao Chang's murder of the emperor and formed a mortal enmity with the former Qin.

Now that the former Princess Qin Dongping has become one of the Dadu Protectors, everyone is worried that they will be liquidated if they take refuge in Hexi, so they have to stand on the side of Hou Qin.

At this time, Huan Zhen next to him said: "Zuo Sima, the last general thinks that since Anding Hu Lu insists on being my enemy, then we don't need to be polite to them anymore, just send troops to wipe them out." ”

Wang Zhenwei shook his head and said: "It's not difficult to wipe out the crowd, the key is that it's too late." ”

"Now that Yao Shuode is about to return to his master, we must take Anding County as soon as possible, how can we have the kung fu to entangle with Zhonghu?"

Just when Huan Zhen and Wang Zhen were in a dilemma, they saw Wei Daofu's eyes roll a few times.

"Cousin, General Huan, since the situation does not allow for tough measures, why don't you try to appease them?"

Wang Zhen sneered and said, "Hmph! Those Hulu did not believe in Hexi's sincerity, for fear of being liquidated, and did not dare to take refuge in Hexi at all. ”

At that moment, Wang Zhenwei told Wei Daofu about the grievances between the former Qin and the latter Qin, and then Wei Daofu suddenly realized.

However, he pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is not possible to win over the people for the time being, it is better to appease others." ”

Wang Zhen hurriedly asked, "Placate others?" Who? Yao Xian or Yang Fosong? ”

"Yang Fosong!" Wei Daofu's eyes flashed.

This time, he was ordered to rush to Xiaoguan from Chang'an, isn't it just to show goodwill to Hexi? Is there a more convincing performance than helping Hexi win stability?

"My cousin doesn't know that this Yang Fosong was originally a general of the Southern Dynasty, but because he was repeatedly excluded, he turned to Chang'an in anger."

"If it weren't for the fact that Hou Qin was really unavailable, I don't think he would have been sent to Anding to serve as the assassin of Yongzhou."

"This person has no loyalty to Yao Xing's father and son, and he will definitely not put himself in for Hou Qin."

"The little brother is not talented, and he is willing to be a messenger from Hexi to Yinmi."

"If we can successfully say that Yang Fosong will be defeated, then the north and south will attack and stabilize at the same time, and we will definitely be able to settle the situation in one battle."

Wang Zhen nodded and said: "This plan is indeed feasible, but Dao Fu should pay attention to safety, and once he finds that the situation is wrong, he should quickly find an opportunity to get out." ”

"Please rest assured, cousin, little brother can save it."

Later, Wei Daofu was full of ambition and went south to secret, vowing to take Yang Fosong as a meeting gift for the Wei family.

At the same time, Yang Fosong was sitting in the Yin Secret Thorn Mansion and was worried about his future.

He never imagined that after Qin, who seemed to be unrivaled in the past few years, was about to enter a desperate situation today.

Now the Hexi Army has the power of Xiaoguan's great victory, and the Chen soldiers have stabilized the north and deterred all forces in the county.

Peng Qi, the leader of Lu Shuihu, was not angry with the threat of Hexi, and brazenly raised troops to resist, but was defeated and died.

Although Yang Fosong also has the heart to surrender to Hexi, he has no way, and secondly, he is also worried that he will be detected by Yao Xian and cause trouble.

It must be known that Yao Xian is stationed in Anding County, and he has the elite Qiang cavalry in his hands, and he has the support of local Hulu.

If he ventures into trouble, it is very likely that he will be cut off from north to south, and then he will be annihilated by Yao Xian in the shadows.

"Alas! What should I do for now? ”

Yang Fosong thought about it and decided that Hou Qin was definitely not an opponent of Hexi, and he didn't want to be buried with Hou Qin.

He only took refuge later, and there was no hatred between him and Qianqin and Hexi.

Therefore, for him, there is no obstacle to taking refuge in Hexi.

Just when Yang Fosong was in a panic day and night, Wei Daofu's visit gave him a glimmer of life.

At the moment, Yang Fosong agreed with Wei Daofu that when he would settle down in the south of the Hexi army, he would try to make trouble in the interior to help Hexi go south to Anding County as soon as possible.

And Wei Daofu assured Yang Fosong that as long as the other party assisted Hexi to take stability, he would not only not be blamed, but would also be protected by the capital.

With the personal promise of Wang Zhenwei's cousin, a famous general in Hexi, Yang Fosong no longer had any doubts and quickly acted according to the plan.
