When Liu Xin left Chang'an, he said it easily, as if he had already assigned the task and had nothing to do with him, but in fact, he couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he specially ordered the post stations along the way, all the military information from the front line, whether urgent or not, must be sent all the way by 800 miles of fast horses day and night.

Hani was taken aback when he saw the young general, and hurriedly saluted: "Xiao Wang doesn't know that His Royal Highness the prince is also coming with His Majesty, how rude it is, please forgive me." ”

Liu Xin laughed and said: "He is my son-in-law, the master of the Han Dynasty." ”

This young general is none other than Sun Ce. Originally, Liu Xin let him go, and he was already quite grateful to Liu Xin, but later Liu Xin married Liu Rui to him, and he became even more loyal to Liu Xin. After Liu Xin got married, he didn't let him lead the troops for a long time, in addition to making them a little more time together, there was also a purpose to see if he had any complaints, so as to verify his loyalty. This time, Liu Xin decided to take him to the Western Regions, on the one hand, because the guards of Chang'an City needed Dian Wei, and on the other hand, it also showed that Liu Xin had fully recognized Sun Ce.

Although this was just Hani's misunderstanding, Sun Ce didn't dare to hold it up, and arched at Liu Xin in fear, wanting to explain. saw Liu Xin wave his hand and said, "Ce'er, you can take a look for me, what is the battle report on the front line?" ”

There was a clear rule in the Han army that all kinds of military intelligence and war reports could only be dismantled and read by the highest commander without permission. Now that Liu Xin is here, he is naturally the highest official, and no matter how high Sun Ce's status and official position are, he has no right to dismantle it. And Liu Xin asked him to take a look for himself, which was to give him enough trust, so he didn't need to explain anymore.

The big battle that happened in the Central Plains was just a few days ago, Hani naturally didn't know it, he thought of Liu Xin bringing 20,000 cavalry with him this time, he couldn't help but get nervous, and asked repeatedly: "Your Majesty, is it ...... to the west?"

For Hani, he doesn't want any war, after all, Shanshan's prosperity today depends on this trade route. If trade routes are interrupted due to war, the old difficult days will be restored.

"It's okay to the west." Of course, Liu Xin wanted to give Hani a reassurance, he waved his hand and said, "There is a big war going on in the Central Plains, but it will end soon." When the time comes, the world will be peaceful, and everyone will live a good life. ”

Sun Ce had already finished reading the battle report, and arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Yan Liang, Bang Dun, Nanqiao and others have all been awarded!" ”

The cavalry melee that took place fifty miles south of Yecheng ended up winning a complete victory for the Han army. Originally, Xu Huang handed over all the 50,000 cavalry to Pang De alone, but when he learned that the commander of the Yuan army would be Yan Liang, he asked Zhang Fei to go to the aid in person.

At that time, the battlefield was already chaotic, and only more than 30 personal soldiers were still following Yan Liang. However, Yan Liang relied on his strong martial arts and did not take the light cavalry of the Han army in his eyes, and a big knife in his hand flew up and down, quite a trend of sweeping thousands of troops. But the ordinary cavalry under his command were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Han army, and they were killed and scattered in all directions, but the ranks of the Wuhuan cavalry were disrupted.

Yan Liang saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to fight a bloody way, first return to Liyang, meet the infantry army led by Lu Yi, and then make plans. He killed dozens of Han cavalry one after another, and was about to rush out of this battlefield, and then he was blocked by a general. The general was also born with a tiger's back, and he also held a large knife in his hand. Yan Liang was not afraid, he slashed with a knife, and the general raised his knife to meet him, and with a loud "dang" sound, both of them were shocked to their arms numb, and they invariably took a few steps back.

The commander of this sword was none other than Pound. Liu Xin has always forbidden his generals to rush to the front, so people like Zhang Fei and Ma Chao rarely have a chance to show their martial arts, and Pang De is the same. Today, they finally encountered a scuffle, and it was impossible for the main general to command in the rear, but it gave them the opportunity to kill for a while.

Pound has been looking for Yan Liang's whereabouts and wants to fight him, but more than 100,000 people are fighting together, the scene is too chaotic, and it is not easy to find someone from it. It happened that Yan Liang wanted to escape, but instead showed his whereabouts, and was rushed over by Pang De to intercept the way.

Yan Liang was able to win the reputation of the first general under Yuan Shao, and he also relied on his own years of fighting and killing with one knife and one shot. Although the knife that fought with Pound made him frightened, he was not afraid, Yan Liang shook his spirits, rode his horse and rushed over again, and fought with Pound in one place, fighting for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. And the personal soldiers who followed Yan Liang had gradually lost their lives and wounds, and the Yuan army and the Wuhuan army in the distance were still fighting on their own.

In fact, Pang De was not the only one looking for Yan Liang's whereabouts on the battlefield, Zhang Fei finally got the opportunity to fight to his heart's content, if he couldn't kill the first general in Hebei, he would regret it for life.

When Pang De and Yan Liang were in the middle of the battle, they had already been seen by Zhang Fei, he raised the eight snake spears in his hands, and rushed straight to this side, and the Yuan Jun and Wuhuan soldiers who stopped in front of him really died if they touched it, and they died if they touched it. In a blink of an eye, he came to the front and shouted: "Ling Mingxiu panicked, someone is here to help you!" ”

In fact, Pang De and Yan Liang were on a par, he didn't panic at all, and he didn't want Zhang Fei to compete with him. But Zhang Fei has never been a person who talks about rules, and it has never been a shame in his eyes to win more than less.

Zhang Fei felt that the shouting just now had already reminded Yan Liang, so naturally it was not a sneak attack, and he didn't say anything, and stabbed him with a spear.

Yan Liang couldn't fight Pang De, he was already anxious in his heart, and now he saw that Pang De had another helper, and he was even more endless, so he left with his horse. Unexpectedly, a Han soldier who was injured and fell from his horse happened to wake up at this time and grabbed the horse's tail. The horse continued to gallop forward, but a man dragged behind him, but his speed slowed down. Yan Liang was furious, turned around and slashed the Han soldier in two.

But in this way, Zhang Fei and Pang De have already chased after them. And before Yan Liang's knife could be withdrawn, Zhang Fei's snake spear had already stabbed out, hitting Yan Liang's right arm, and Pang De's big knife was also cut off on the head.

Yan Liang was in pain, roared, and waved his knife with one hand to meet Pang De. The strength was insufficient, and with a "choking" sound, the knife flew out far away. Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation and stabbed Yan Liang in the back of the heart. Pang De did not show weakness, the big knife was picked up, and it was slashed on Yan Liang's neck, the huge head flew up, was grabbed by Zhang Fei, and shouted loudly: "Yan Liang is dead, those who descend will not be killed!" ”

The poor and ruthless Hebei No. 1 brave general died on this.

Yan Liang was very famous in Hebei, and as soon as he died, the remaining Yuan army either fled or surrendered, and it collapsed in an instant.

But the Wuhuan cavalry fought to the death and did not surrender. However, Liu Xin had already given an order in advance not to be soft on these aliens, and Zhang Fei and Pang De were happy to kill. In this battle, more than 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry were killed and wounded, and most of them were killed in the chaos of the army, only Khan Lu did not know where to go, and less than 3,000 Wuhuan cavalry escaped.

Liu Xin didn't mind taking this opportunity to show off his strength to Hani, handed them the battle report sent by Chang'an and circulated it, and said with a smile: "Whether it's Yuan Shao or Cao Cao, I didn't take them seriously, otherwise how could I come to the Western Regions at this time?" They can only fight against the imperial court, and it can only be a dead end! ”

Hani and the others all echoed each other. Hani took the opportunity to say: "Since there is no war in the west, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not worth mentioning, why don't Your Majesty stay here for a few more days?" ”

Liu Xin waved his hand and said, "I have received your kindness, but I am traveling this time, and the time is quite tight, so I can't stay here for a long time." ”

Hani knew that Liu Xin was no longer what it used to be, and he didn't dare to keep it too much, but he said: "Your Majesty's daughter, how can there be no one to take care of you on this trip to the Western Regions, it is better to let Liya accompany Your Majesty, and you can also take care of Your Majesty's diet and daily life." ”

Liya was quite reluctant to Hani always pushing her to Liu Xin's side, and muttered: "Brother Wang, I ......"

Liu Xin's westward trip this time was to investigate the matter of the Black Whirlwind, and the Black Whirlwind's personality was a little unpredictable, so he naturally didn't want to take a woman with him, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Hani, the reason why I didn't bring a woman with me this time is to travel day and night and save time on the road. No matter how fast the carriage is, it can't compare to the horse......"

Liya is quite strong, otherwise she would not have followed Minchan to Liangzhou in order to compare her dancing skills with Minchan. Listening to Liu Xin's tone of disdain for her riding skills, Liya couldn't help but get angry and said, "Who said that women can't ride horses?" This girl's riding skills will definitely not be lost to you! ”

Hani suddenly became happy and said: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty can rest assured, the housekeeper has grown up on horseback since she was a child, and her riding skills are exquisite, and she will never drag everyone back, so let the housemate accompany Your Majesty and walk together, and take care of one or two." ”

Along the way last year, Liya asked Liu Xin more than once about the Black Whirlwind. Liu Xin is a person from the past, how can she not see that this little girl has a secret affection for the black whirlwind, but she doesn't know that the black whirlwind is a woman. In fact, not only did Liya not know that Black Whirlwind was a woman, but Liu Xin didn't think of Black Whirlwind as a man at the beginning.

Now, seeing Hani pushing Liya to his side again and again, but Liya's face was full of reluctance, Liu Xin knew that Liya still remembered the black whirlwind in her heart. In fact, this little girl is stunning in both figure and face, Liu Xin doesn't want her to delay her beautiful youth because of the black whirlwind, if she can see the black whirlwind on this trip to Kangju, maybe she can return to reality.

Liu Xin thought about it and nodded in agreement, and said, "However, I have a word in advance, if you can't endure this hardship but you are not allowed to hold on, I will arrange someone to escort you back." ”

Liya snorted disdainfully, which was an answer.

Suddenly, a guard came from outside the door to report that it was the merchant Tuburo who asked to see him.
