"There are two more things," Liu Yuan finalized the matter of going south, and said: "First, a report has just come from the dark department that the Huns have persuaded Jiankun, Ding Ling, Hujie and Wusun that the armies of several countries are gathering. ”

"The second thing is that the movement in Liangzhou is stable, and everything is under Wenhe's control."

After Liu Yuan finished speaking, he motioned for several people to express their opinions.

Guo Jia straightened his body and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Xiongnu still have some ability, and they actually united the armies of the four countries, and this time there must be no less than 500,000 people!" However, the Lord Justice couldn't find a chance to deter the countries of the Western Regions, but he didn't expect them to send it to the door! ”

"Yes, as long as the Xiongnu coalition army is defeated in one fell swoop, then the Western Regions will not be able to become a climate for decades!"

Chen Qun continued.

"This king believes that the two of them will not let me down, I will wait and see!"

"As for the matter of Xiliang, as long as Jia Wenhe grasps it well, General Gao Shun grasps the opportunity, and when the Ma family can't hold on, he will attack with thunder and destroy the remnants of Dong Zhuo and Han Sui, and then he will be able to subdue Ma Teng in one fell swoop, take Xiliang into his bag, control the Hexi Corridor, and deter the Central Plains!" Guo Jia said again: "However, the lord is going south this time, and he still needs to pay attention to Yuan Shao and others, and prevent them from playing some small tricks." ”

"It's nature."

Luoyang, Yuan's house.

Yuan Shao has been so anxious these days that he almost lost his gray hair.

Since it was determined that Xu Yu had fallen, Yuan Shao seemed to be in a state of collapse, drinking all day long, which made the strategists and generals under his command anxious.

On this day, Yuan Shao finally cheered up, gathered the civil and military forces, apologized respectfully first, and made a good appearance:

"A certain person was depressed a few days ago, and it was the fault of the public to bother! Yuan swears here that he will never do this again in the future! ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military clubs were overjoyed, and the secret way was not mistaken for recognition.

"I was sure that my son had fallen far away, and my heart ached. Fortunately, there is the support of the lord, otherwise a certain Yuan Shao may be in a slump. Yuan Shao's voice was a little low, and then he said excitedly: "Xu Ziyuan died for something, this is my fault, I will cherish you more in the future, and work with you to create a grand event!" ”

"It's not the master's fault, it's our fault!"

Zhu Wenwu immediately knelt down and was excited.

After appeasing the emotions of a group of people, Yuan Shao straightened his mind and said: "Ziyuan is about to die, which means that the United Ma Teng is defeated." What do you think about this, and tell me in detail? ”

"Lord!" Xu You was about to die, Guo Tu and the others removed a big mountain that was pressed on their heads, and they were all secretly happy, but they saw Guo Tu standing up and said: "Although I failed to win over Ma Teng, after all, there is still the support of Gongsun Zhan, Wang Kuang, Cao Mengde and others, and the matter of coercing Liu Yuan must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late for him to defeat the Xiongnu!" ”

Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and asked Feng Jidao again: "Does Mr. Feng have a wonderful solution?" ”

According to the current situation, Ma Teng and Han Sui turned their faces, and there was civil strife in Xiliang, the reason for which is not mentioned for the time being. Ji believes that the civil strife in Xiliang has given the remnants of Dong Zhuo entrenched in Yongzhou a great opportunity, and Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely not give up this excellent opportunity to return to their hometown. So I suggest that the lord keep an eye on Li Guo and the others, wait for the opportunity, and take Yongzhou in one fell swoop! Feng Ji talked eloquently: "The civil strife in Xiliang must have the role of Youzhou, so when planning Yongzhou, we must pay attention to guarding against the Bingzhou Corps stationed in Hexi!" ”

"Okay, good," Yuan Shao was overjoyed. I thought, it seems that there is no Xu You, and I, Yuan Shao, am still the person of destiny, and I have the help of a great sage! Immediately overjoyed, adopted the opinions of the two, gave a reward, and waited for the opportunity not to mention it.

Besides, at the junction of Yongliang and Liang, Yan Xing sat in Sanguan and confronted Ma Chao from afar.

Ma Chao attacked the city no less than a few times, but he never helped half a point.

However, Yan Xing was not having a good time.

There are the remnants of Dong Zhuo in the north, and Ma Chao in the south to attack, and the so-called enemy on both sides is nothing more than that.

And as time slowly passed, most of the grain and grass materials in the scattered customs were gradually consumed, Yan Xing was thinking about whether to give up the scattered pass, lead the army to escape, and let Ma Chao and Li Dao and Guo Yan eat dogs, when Guo Yan's messenger arrived!

When Yan Xing heard that Guo Yan had sent an envoy, his mind turned slightly, and he understood Guo Yan's thoughts.

It's clear to see that he can't stand alone, and the coercion and temptation are coming!

"Bring him in!"

Yan Xing's face was calm, and he was in the main position, and after a while, a sergeant walked in with a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar.

Yan Xing took a closer look, but he almost laughed out loud.

This person is also a scholar?

The thief is the same!

Yan Xing was silent and drank: "The anti-thief Guo Yan Pel is here, isn't it a flag for General Ben?" ”

As he spoke, a murderous aura forced out, which frightened the scholar and retreated.

"Say! What did Guo Yan ask you to do?! ”

Yan Xing shouted, so frightened that the fake scholar sat on the ground, and vomited out all the original reasons in a trembling manner.

"In other words, your general Guo Yan wants to exchange the land of Yongzhou for this general's big dispersion?"

A hint of contemplation flashed in Yan Xing's eyes.

"Yes!" The man shouted: "The general of my family wants to join forces with General Yan to kill Ma Chao, and then give General Yan a state of land!" ”

"Hey, you're being honest!" Yan Xing sneered and said, "Okay, General Ben answered, you go back and inform your General Guo Yan that tonight, General Ben will welcome him into the customs!" ”

The fake book thought that this matter was in vain, for fear of losing his surname, and he was suffering from gains and losses, but when he heard Yan Xing's words, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and crawled out of the hall as if he had been pardoned.

"Hey, Li Dao Guo Yan, almost no one is used, don't be afraid!"

Yan Xing looked at the rolling and crawling figure, his face full of sarcasm.

However, although he wanted to kill Ma Chao with the help of Li Guo and the others this time, Yan Xing did not dare to relax his vigilance. This Li Guo and the others are not good birds, in case they enter the Sanguan and turn their faces and don't recognize people, it will not be good, they have to be prepared!

Yan Xing thought for a moment, and asked people to go down and prepare not to mention it.

It was said that Guo Yan was rewarded by a fake scholar and immediately passed the news to Li Dao. The two immediately did not stop, gathered a large army, and carefully prepared without mentioning.

In the middle of the night, the north gate of Sanguan was quietly opened, and more than 150,000 troops led by Li Dao and Guo Yan flocked in.

Yan Xing was secretly on guard, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that although the remnants of Xiliang were also guarding against them, they had no other actions.

The three of them met and talked for an hour, formulated a plan to attack and kill Ma Chao, made food at the end of the third watch, and the fourth army was marched out, preparing to raid Ma Chao at dawn in the early morning, when the sergeant was most tired, and killed him by surprise!

And outside the city, Ma Chao actually paid the same attention.

"I want to attack the city in the fourth watch, personally lead the death squad, take the city, and today I must kill Yan Xing and seize Sanguan!"

At the fourth watch, the black lights inside and outside the city were blind, but I saw people longing.

Ma Chao led the army out of the barracks, bypassed the grove, and was about to lead the death squad to touch the city wall, but suddenly found that the gate of Sanguan was opened!

Ma Chao was overjoyed, only saying that Yan Xing had the same idea as himself, and he was about to order the army to attack immediately, but he was stopped by the guards.

"Major General, don't be impulsive, our troops are already less than the scattered guards, we have to carefully investigate and make decisions!"

Ma Chao's heart froze, he secretly calmed down, his mind flickered, and he suddenly had a plan.

Ma Chao smiled and said: "Yan Xing must want to steal the camp at this time, if this general ambushes the army outside my camp, just wait for Yan Xing to attack, then close the door and beat the dogs, what do you think?" ”

All the relatives and guards applauded.

So Ma Chao didn't delay, glanced at Yan Xingqian's army that had just rushed out of the city, immediately waved his hand, and led the army to retreat quietly, not mentioning the ambush.

Yan Xing and Li Guo agreed to attack Ma Chao together, and it was not easy to break their promise, so they led more than 40,000 men and horses under his command and immediately Guo Yan's more than 150,000 people poured out of the pass, and then covered the night, and went straight to the camp of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao led the army to lie quietly three miles away from the barracks, a pair of eyes staring closely at the army that came out of the grove, and the sneer on his face did not stop.

But as time went by, Ma Chao's smile gradually solidified!

"Fuck, how many people are there?!"

Ma Chao joined the army in his teens, and he can roughly see at a glance that this is still a torrent of troops that have not seen tails, and I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000!

"Where did Yan Xing come from to be such a soldier?!"

"Major General, Yan Xing will inevitably lead Li Dao and Guo Yan into the customs!"

The guards shouted: "Otherwise, there are only more than 40,000 people left under Yan Xing's command, where are there so many soldiers and a steady stream?" Major General, I'd better retreat quickly, otherwise when the enemy enters the camp and finds out that there is a fraud, then we will retreat, I'm afraid it's too late! ”

Most of the cavalry under the command of Dong Zhuo's remnants and Li Guo were cavalry, and if they didn't hurry up and retreat now, it would be difficult to guarantee that they wouldn't be caught by the tail. When the time comes, facing the allied forces of Yan, Li and Guo with absolute superiority in strength, Ma Chao is afraid that he will not be able to escape!

As soon as Ma Chao's mind turned, he knew the danger, and immediately shook the horsewhip unwillingly, and immediately led the army away.

And when Yan Xing and Li Guo joined forces to fill the army Ma Chao's military camp, they found that it was an empty village, and after a careful investigation, they only felt that there was still residual heat in the fire, and knew that Ma Chao's army had just fled, so they hurriedly urged the horse, led a large force of cavalry to find the traces of Ma Chao's retreat, and followed.

"Major General, the enemy army has caught up, where are we going now? Longguan? ”

The guard asked.

Ma Chao's eyes flashed with the brilliance of a tiger wolf, and he said fiercely: "You can't make a detour to Longguan!" Although Brother Hugh is there, General Ranben is afraid that the Yan Xing coalition army will cross our army and go to Jincheng to join Han Sui to attack his father, then it will be bad! Therefore, you immediately go to Longguan and Qi County to inform my second brother and third brother, and let the two of them immediately lead the army to gather and ambush in the Fox Sage Tiger Valley, and I will personally lead the army to retreat to Lingzuka Mountain! ”

"No, young general, although the mountain is dangerous, it is widely known to the world, and it is difficult for the young general to succeed in the ambush there!" The guards said urgently.

"General Ben has his own plans, you take the order and go!"

The guards were helpless, so they immediately took more than a dozen people and went straight to Longguan in the north.

Ma Chao felt a slight tremor on the ground, smiled, and shouted: "Hurry up and pull out the mound mountain, drive!" ”

The 20,000 cavalry suddenly accelerated, quickly opened the distance from the Yan Xing coalition army, and headed straight for Lingzun Mountain.
