Mid-April of the second year of Xixing. After learning that Jin Junfan had assembled in Zongcheng, Hezhong Prefecture, Qu Duan gave an order to Xu Wei as the commander of the Sidu, ordering him to ensure that Huangguan, Fenglingdu, and Pujin pontoon bridges were in order no matter what. In fact, without his order, Xu Wei had already completely blocked these three entrance passages. At this time, Wu Jie had already returned from Shaanzhou, and the soldiers and horses of Shaanzhou were under the jurisdiction of Yang Yan, and the capital supervisor Ma Tai then went to work. At this point, the Shaanxi Chinese Army has recovered all the lost territory in the defense area.

In Xu Wei's reply to Qu Duan, in addition to reporting on the military situation in Shaanxi, he also specially reminded Wu Jie's and other generals that the concubine was kneeling in Luoyang for more than a month, and he must have joined the reinforcements at this time, since he did not go to Huangguan. It could only be to cross the river and go north. Therefore, the Jin army may have boats in his hands. They have ears and can choose the weak points of our army to cross the river.

Qu Duan also understood this principle, so he sent a person to garrison Danzhou. This person is Yao Pingzhong, who is as famous as Xu Wei. After the victory of Dingrong, the two divisions discussed meritorious deeds, Yao Xiyan was dismissed from the head of the soldiers and horses of Shaanzhou, and Shaanxi Hua was sent to appease the deputy envoy, and was reappointed as the governor of Huanzhou and the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses. This appointment once caused heated discussions within the Western Army, and the generals speculated that the appointment of the two directors may be to prepare for Yao Pingzhong to take over the pacification of Huanqing Jingluo. And for this, all kinds of generals are happy to see it, Yao Pingzhong was originally a general of the Western Army, and Guanzhong Haojie also gave him the nickname of "Little Captain", he took over Huanqing is better than the surname Qu.

But there is also no shortage of "people of insight" who can see the clues, whether it is Shaanxi Huashuai Xu Wei, or Yao Pingzhong, Liu Guangshi, they all have amazing similarities. They are from the generals' family, and they are the young and strong generation in the Western Army, and they have all stayed in Tokyo without exception, and they are favored and promoted by the officials. Li Gang He Guan let Qu Duan, who was originally in the second echelon of the Western Army, act as the vanguard in the front, and then let young generals like Xu Wei and Yao Pingzhong take the position, and put the military power in their hands, so as to achieve the goal of unified command.

Can we let him get his way?

Although Yao Pingzhong was transferred to Huanqing Road and became the governor, he was still very unhappy in his heart. There is no other reason, when he entered the King of Jingqin with the Seed Master, he was already a commander at the level of the front jurisdiction. At that time, Xu Wei was a township soldier. It's only been a few years? The purple gold tiger scurried to the position of the handsome, recruiting Hedong, and he even obeyed orders under Xu Wei, so how could he not be in a hurry?

After being transferred to Huanqing, someone from the Preparation Division passed the word. Break the deep meaning of this appointment, let him fight with his heart, and the two chiefs will not treat him badly. Therefore, although Yao Pingzhong did not treat Qu Duan very much. But he still followed him to the front line and was ordered to garrison Danzhou.

Yao Zhizhou is determined to make contributions and doesn't want Xu Wei to go down. As soon as he arrived in Danzhou, he straightened out the city defense non-stop. Investigate the terrain. Wu Jie, and other generals judged that the Jin army would borrow boats to cross the river, and the most likely place was Danzhou. Xu Wei thought about the time when he was abandoned. Yao Pingzhong not only sent troops quickly, but also fought meritoriously, so he specially sent someone to remind him that Danzhou was facing a threat from the Jin army.

Yao Xiyan's character is full of ambition, although the fog fell in the fog two years ago, and he was set up as a negative example by the civilian clique in the DPRK and China to attack him, but his pride is still there, and the content of the letter back to Xu Wei is very simple, I am afraid that Jin Jun will not come!

Of course, he is also confident to be so arrogant, he has 6,000 soldiers in his hands, well-armed, and a fierce general like Yang Zaixing. What he is most proud of is the terrain of Danzhou, which is the later Yichuan County of Shaanxi, located in the Weibei Plateau, along the Yellow River, geographically speaking, it belongs to the hilly and gully area, which will greatly limit the advantage of the Jin cavalry.

April 18. The southeast corner of Danzhou.

Because of the topography, Danzhou has very few household registrations, except for Yichuan County, where the state government is located, there are only two towns in the whole state, and they are all in the northeast. The rest of the area is largely barren. Especially in this southeast area, there are no people for more than ten miles, and it is extremely hidden.

The April sun is already a little poisonous, and this place where chickens don't lay eggs and birds don't poop should have no ghosts. But actually, it's hell. On the east bank of the Yellow River, it is crowded. The flag is flying. The sound of shouting and neighing of horses rang out. As far as the eye could see, the river was only a drop in the bucket, and behind them there was a flood of armies gathering in the area as far as the eye could see.

But these people are also helpless in the face of the Yellow River, which has flowed here for thousands of years, even though they ride majestic horses under their crotches and have sharp scimitars pinned to their waists. The troops gathered more and more, and at this time, a special group of men and horses emerged from the boundless crowd. They are special because these people have boats on their heads, and yes, they do have boats on their heads. This is a kind of small boat that fishermen are accustomed to, and it is the "flat boat" that appears in countless poems of literati and sorcerers. This kind of small boat, to say that the sky is broken, it can only hold a few people.

"When will such a boat be able to cross the river?"

"Looking at this appearance, it's not easy to pretend to be five or six people, don't sink, right?" "Phew! Can't the fuck say good things? If you want to sink, you will sink! ”

The soldiers talked a lot, and they all spoke Chinese. But in an instant, all of them were silent, because a member of the tiger carried a bear's waist, and the tower-like warrior rode across. This person turned out to be the commander of the Liaodong 10,000-man team under the command of Mu Han. Han Chang.

"How do you choose to cross the river here? There wasn't even a ferry crossing...... When Han Chang was on the riverside, he muttered quietly behind him.

With a cold snort, the pioneer of the Jin Army shouted: "Fenglingdu is all ready, why don't you go?" ”

The general didn't dare to answer, but said in his heart, didn't Fenglingdu be defended by the Purple Gold Tiger Xu Wei? Just this little broken boat to grab the ferry? You have to sink people in the river!

Han Chang looked around for a while, and also felt embarrassed, how long will the ship have to cross with thousands of people and horses in front of our army? However, the prime minister strictly ordered that he must be stationed in Danzhou to escort the smooth landing of the army. Helpless. Even if you sink into the Yellow River, you have to get it! Come to mind. With a wave of his hand, he shouted, "Cross the river!" ”

Just in the mountains more than 40 miles away from the Yellow River, there are two mountains, a python mountain, a phoenix wing mountain, the two mountains stand opposite each other, and the passage in the middle is not more than a few zhang wide is the only way out to enter Danzhou City in the west. And Pangu opened the sky, and the ghostly axe elevated the terrain at the end of the two mountains, creating a condescending situation.

As soon as Yao Pingzhong arrived in Danzhou, he reconnoitred this extremely favorable terrain and garrisoned 800 troops here. Set up camp. By this time, it was past noon. After lunch, the soldiers were hiding in the shade of trees to avoid the increasingly hot sun. Gather in groups of three or five to talk about the pleasure of prostitutes, not only to find some fun in the boring military life, but also to make some amusement for this kind of day when I don't know when I will die in battle.

Suddenly, the soldier who was still spitting was spitting and telling him an interesting story about what he had encountered when he was dead shut up. Craned your neck to look east. The comrades who listened attentively saw that there was no follow-up, and urged him to continue, but the soldier saw several soldiers rushing back from the east, and as a veteran soldier, he was keenly aware of the abnormality, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened."
