Cao Ju waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "No, in the Guanzhong, thousands of people under the command of Gu are enough, Guo Shuai Ke is still stationed in Hanoi, sitting and watching the situation in the world, thinking that Gu and Senior Sister will also come to help."

Mrs. Guo nodded and said: "Okay, in this case, if you allocate 30,000 troops to help the young master, otherwise, if the young master only leads a few thousand soldiers and horses, and the eldest lady will know about it in the future, I am afraid that I will not be punished."

After Zhang Jiao's death, the Yellow Turban Army was scattered all over the state, all of them were alone, fighting for each other, and they were not managed by each other.

is like Tao Sheng and Wu Huan of Jiuli Mountain, when Zhang Ning was away, they actually had a rebellious heart.

However, Mrs. Guo's loyalty to Zhang Jiao is still very high, and after he got Zhang Ning's handwritten letter, he was very pleasantly surprised and immediately expressed his surrender.

When he was in Luoyang, Cao Ju and Zhang Ning often exchanged letters and knew about Mrs. Guo's submission, so on the way to the west this time, Cao Ju came to Mrs. Guo's camp, and it was not in vain.

Cao Ju pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, since this is the case, Lone is disrespectful, at the banquet the day before yesterday, Lone saw that General Yang Feng was superb in martial arts, can he borrow it to lead the 30,000 troops?"

Mrs. Guo barely hesitated, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Tai will order Yang Feng to follow the young master, and everything will be under the orders of the young master."

Yes, it's Xu Huang, Cao Ju deliberately ordered Yang Feng's meaning, that is, he wanted Xu Huang under Yang Feng's command, since he saw Xu Huang the day before yesterday, Cao Ju had the intention of getting Xu Huang into his hands.

At that moment, Mrs. Guo asked Yang Feng to call him over and give him an order, but of course the latter did not dare to disobey the order.

Yang Feng is also a figure in history, but the opponent he met was Cao Cao, which was not something he could compete with at all, otherwise, after Yang Feng succeeded in coercing the Son of Heaven, his future would be terrible.

Early the next morning, Cao Ju took 30,000 Yellow Turban elite soldiers to bid farewell to Mrs. Guo, met Cao Ren and others, and headed west.

There is a certain risk in going to Mrs. Guo's camp, after all, if Mrs. Guo really has any suspicions, Cao Juke will be in danger, so Cao Ju only took Dian Wei and Shi A to go, and Huang Zhong and Qin Shao led an army of 2,000 to meet near Mrs. Guo's camp, so that even if there was really any accident, Cao Ju would be able to get out.

Yongzhou, one of the thirteen states, Chang'an, the seat of governance, is the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. After the Eastern Han Dynasty Guangwu Zhongxing, although the capital was Luoyang, Chang'an after all experienced two hundred years of prosperity in the Western Han Dynasty, and is still one of the most prosperous cities in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the population of Yongzhou is second only to Jizhou among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

Yongzhou Mu was originally Dong Zhuo, but he was invited by He Jin to return to Beijing, and later took control of the power and became the world's most powerful Taishi, so naturally he will no longer be Yongzhou Mu.

The current Yongzhou pastor is Dong Zhuo's nephew Dong Huang, who led an army of 100,000 to guard Yongzhou, with Niu Fu as the general and Jia Xu as the strategist. Originally, there was Xu Rong, but because of the lack of handsome talents in Luoyang, Dong Zhuo transferred Xu Rong over.

The distribution of the 100,000 army, Dong Huang followed Jia Xu's advice, and the 60,000 army Chen Bing Longxi, Nan'an, Guangwei and Anding were at the junction of the four counties and Liangzhou, in case Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang were in danger.

There are also 40,000 troops, 20,000 of which are guarding the important places of Chang'an, and the other 20,000 are guarding Tongguan and Hangu Pass, so that Dong Zhuo can quickly return to Yongzhou in case of defeat in Luoyang, and these two natural risks are lower than those of the Kwantung coalition army.

Therefore, if Cao Ju wants to take the place of Yongzhou, he must first take the two places of Hangu Pass and Tongguan, and then he can move his army westward and attack Chang'an.

This time, Cao Ju got out of Luoyang, and the happiest person was He Wan, she no longer had to stay in the ghost place of Yongle Palace, and Liu Wei no longer had to live tremblingly under Dong Zhuo's eyes.

What made He Wan happiest was not these two points, but Cao Ju told her that once Chang'an was captured, she would immediately restore Liu Bian, then she would still be the queen mother. Although He Wan knew in her heart that Liu Ban was the emperor again, and she was the queen mother again, she would not have any power anymore.

The most depressed person is ****, leaving Luoyang this time, she doesn't know if she can have another chance to go back. In the past, although Liu Xie could not be seen in Luoyang Horse Mansion, at least it was close, and I could often hear about him, or it would be possible to see him.

didn't want to leave, but Cao Ju couldn't let her stay, so he forcibly put her under house arrest and took her away from Luoyang.

After a few days of marching, Cao Ju's army soon reached a place thirty miles outside Hangu Pass, Cao Ju ordered the army to camp on the spot, and gathered four strategists to come over to discuss the strategy of capturing Hangu Pass.

The guard of Hangu Pass, named Liu Hong, is an unknown person in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but Cao Ju does not dare to underestimate it, after all, he can be entrusted with the important task by Dong Huang and lead an army of 10,000 to guard Hangu Pass, which is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag.

On the way, Xi Zhong once heard Cao Ju say that the person who assisted Dong Huang was named Jia Xu, who was a rare wise man in the world, full of scheming and difficult to deal with, so Xi Zhong was very unconvinced, and secretly made up his mind that he must defeat Jia Xu and prove his ability in front of Cao Ju.

Cao Ju just asked the four of them what their plan was to take Hangu Pass, and Xi Zhong hugged his fists and said: "Lord, I believe that Hangu Pass was a natural danger in the Qin Dynasty, and it was even more strengthened in the Western Han Dynasty, and it was impossible to attack it by force, so it can only be outwitted."

"Oh." Cao Ju immediately looked at Xi Zhong and asked, "What is Zhicai's clever plan, you can talk about it quickly." ”

Xi Zhong smiled slightly and said: "Lord, this matter is easy to hear, Guo Tai's army is trapped at the west gate of Luoyang, blocking the connection between Luoyang and Chang'an, then Dong Huang must not know what happened in Luoyang, the lord can find out people with a similar appearance to Dong Zhuo from the sergeants, and falsely claim that it was the Kwantung Righteous Army that invaded Luoyang, and Dong Zhuo's army was defeated so far, so that the Hangu Pass guard will open the gate, so that the lord can easily take Hangu Pass."

"Wonderful, wonderful, really a brilliant plan." Cao Ju was surprised and delighted, on the way west, he was already thinking about how to take Hangu Pass, and he already had a few abdominal cases, but they were not as beautiful as Xizhong's plan.

Yan Zhong also nodded and said, "Good, lord, the plan of Zhicai can also be used."

For the rest, He Hao and Du Xi also had no opinions, and the two of them had already given up the position of the second strategist under Cao Ju to Zhicai.

As for the first strategist, of course, it is Yan Zhong, Yan Zhong is good at internal affairs and weak in military affairs, which is the opposite of Xi Zhong.

The four strategists had the same opinion, and of course Cao Ju did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Okay, with the plan of ambition and talent, we will take Hangu Pass tomorrow."
