Geng was still waiting for the order to be announced, and at this time, Su Zhenghe, who was far away in Wuwei County and was responsible for contacting the soldiers and horses of various counties, hurriedly entered.

"Why did Zhenghe come back?" Geng looked at him with a panicked look on his face, and put away his reprimand.

Su Zhenghe knelt forward and said, "My lord, I almost didn't see you!" ”

Geng looked at him like this, and he was even more convinced of the guess in his heart, and said hurriedly: "What happened?" ”

Su Zhenghe got along with Dong Zhuo for many days, and became more and more jealous of him, just because Dong Zhuo killed innocents indiscriminately and recruited troops privately, as many as 40,000 horses, he didn't dare to stay, and escaped in the night.

Listening to Geng Contempt's questioning, he didn't dare to confide in front of everyone, so he said: "Wuwei traitors are rampant, and I almost lost my life." ”

Geng despised his preface and afterwords, and it must be inconvenient to confide in him.

"Get up!" Geng contempt also instructed, "Hurry up and prepare for war, and there will be no delay." ”

Speaking of this, everyone retreated with a full stomach.

Cheng Qiu showed no signs of leaving, Su Zhenghe frowned and said, "What is Cheng Cheng still doing here?" ”

Cheng Qiu said in a strange manner: "Naturally, it is to discuss the major affairs of military aircraft. ”

Su Zhenghe replied: "I have a confidential matter to report now, and I hope you will retreat." ”

Cheng Qiu was about to say more, but he was ordered to go out by Geng Contempt, and when he left, he glanced at Su Zhenghe viciously.

Geng asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Su Zhenghe exhaled and said, "Dong Zhuo is afraid to rebel!" ”

Geng was frightened and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Su Zhenghe knew that he didn't believe it: "My lord, do you know how many soldiers and horses Dong Zhuo has now?" ”

"Don't be foolish!" Geng said angrily.

"It's 40,000 horses! It's not just our Han people, but also the Qiang people. ”

Geng Wei was still relieved for himself and said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's to fight with Han Sui." ”

Su Zhenghe was not happy and retorted: "Don't you look at what kind of soldiers he has under him. One of them is named Guo Yan, who was originally a horse thief, but after being adopted by Dong Zhuo, he intensified his efforts and hunted the people as animals! ”

"Is this true?"

"How dare I deceive my lords? His generals are all living bandits! Su Zhenghe saw that there was no one around, "I hope that the lord will report to the court as soon as possible." ”

Geng Xuan's mind was rolling, and after a while, he said: "I heard that there are people in Dong Zhuo's court, I'm afraid that the concert will not be able to reach the saint's side." ”

Su Zhenghe, of course, was referring to the Ten Standing Attendants, and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Geng contempt said: "Let him be fierce for a while, and with him in the northern counties, it will be temporarily stable, and after I fight the thief, I will go to Luoyang to meet Your Majesty in person." First send a snare for his crimes, and then see how he is. ”

Su Zhenghe said that this was a tiger breeding problem, and persuaded: "I haven't heard that it is not safe inside, but it is ...... outside."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Geng Contempt: "I know what you said, but you must not force him to rebel." As long as he reverses, Liangzhou will fall. I hope that his movement will become bigger and bigger, so that the court will not dare not take it seriously, let's deal with the rebels in front of us first! ”

"My lord, when will you send troops?" When Li Yuan returned to the camp, he was confronted by Wen Chou.

Li Yuan looked at his ugly appearance that he couldn't wait, he was quite amused, and he was also a little angry, fighting is a death, but he doesn't blame him, because the war in his mind only has merit, and there are few good and evil, and only such a person can show his skills on the battlefield, and he dismounted from the saddle and said: "Food, grass, soldiers, etc. are in place for at least half a month." ”

"Half a month?!" Wen Chou said disappointedly.

"The army is half a month, and we are the vanguard, and we will set off in four or five days."

Wen Chou's depressed mood immediately rose, and he said with joy: "My lord, let me take the lead!" ”

Later, Guan Hai, Huang Shao and others also came, and they were all overjoyed, only Guan Hai had no joy on his face.

Li Yuan said secretly: "What kind of battle?" Our main task is to detect the enemy's situation, if there is a small group of enemies can be annihilated, if you encounter more than 10,000 people, you will not slip away. ”

This could not be said to hit the momentum, so he said: "Well! That's it. ”

Huang Shao didn't know why Wen Chou grinned and smiled, and saluted Li Yuan: "My lord, the soldiers and horses have been gathered." ”

"Good!" Li Yuan glanced at the generals, "You can't relax, you will send troops in the near future." ”

The generals agreed, and said, "Go and train the soldiers!" Guan Hai stayed. ”

Li Yuan stared at the honest man in front of him and asked, "When everyone heard the battle, they were all arrogant and competing for the lead, why are you depressed?" ”

Guan Hai Shili said: "If you fight, you will die, and I don't know how many brothers have left, so I am sad. ”

Li Yuan sighed and persuaded: "Everyone will die, and our death is to protect those defenseless people, in order to keep more people away from the war." He celebrates in Kyushu, how can the world forget us? ”

Guan Hai took a deep breath, hugged his fists and said, "Guan Hai knows." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”

Li Yuan looked at Guan Hai's back, his mind was lively, although Guan Hai is only a second-rate general, but with this kindness is very rare, if you cultivate more, can you become a general who guards the town?

Jishi Gorge is a steep canyon about 50 kilometers long, located in the southwest of Heguan County. The mountain walls on both sides of the strait are towering to the sky, like a knife and an axe. Looking closely, the mountain is pressing, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and it is terrifying. The water of the Yellow River rushed by, as if he did not dare to wait for a long time, and shouted a roaring sound on the way to strengthen his courage.

It has been a military place since ancient times, and some people in later generations praised it: "The earth is dangerous and the sky is the first pass, and the stones are piled up out of the mountains." I want to be in the mountains, and I don't want to go day and night. ”

When Li Yuan and others got the news that Han Sui had marched into Longxi and attacked Heguan County, the magistrate of Heguan County had already opened the door and surrendered, and there were less than 30,000 people in Longxi, and they couldn't stop the army of more than 100,000 no matter what.

Han Sui stood at the mouth of the gorge, looking at the turbulent Yellow River in the distance, surging eastward, and the taste in his heart could not be expressed.

At first, he was forced to be a thief, but he never expected that he would be today. The scriptures of the sages and sages that I read in the past have turned into conspiracies and tricks, and have been reduced to clever words to buy people's hearts, which is really a shame for my life! In any case, the past is like smoke, and there is no return, so I can only move forward step by step.

"My lord, it's time for us to go back."

Han Sui withdrew his thoughts from the rolling Yellow River, turned to look at the young man in his early twenties in front of him, green shirts and rucid faces, and his heart was very fond. Looking to the side, there was also a young man's posture, dressed in armor and resolute, standing tall as a pine. Qingshan's Confucian face is Cheng Gongying, and the armor-clad and resolute one is Yan Xing. These two people are both from Jincheng, and they happen to be literate and martial, complement each other and become their right-hand men.

It was Cheng Gongying who opened his mouth to remind him, and Han Sui smiled: "How is Song Jian thinking about it?" ”

Cheng Gongying muttered: "He doesn't seem to have any intention of joining us, but he doesn't dare to offend, he just wants to divide in Caohan." ”

Han Sui snorted coldly: "Such useless people, whether they are the same or not. Today is repaired overnight, and tomorrow the army will march towards Caohan, and I don't think I will give in. ”

Cheng Gongying said again: "Although we are crowded, but after all, it is a single force, so it is better to pull a few more people." ”
