Chapter 284: The Banner Scrolls to the East [3]

On the twenty-first day of the first month, the red-faced Wei Yan, who had been absent from Huafei Duzhen for a long time, finally arrived fifty miles outside the west gate of Chang'an City with his 10,000 mountain elves in the snowstorm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he missed the "relative" who was also the elder brother and the elder brother, Wei Yan, whose face was like a heavy date, saw that he was not far from Chang'an, so he ordered the leading lieutenant to lead the army to continue to move forward, but he rode alone and rode a red-eyed pat horse to Chang'an first.

At this time, the wind was roaring, the snow was drifting, but the biting cold wind that was blowing in his face couldn't stop the heat in Wei Yan's heart at this time!

After more than a month, he was like a wanderer who returned to his heart like an arrow, and he couldn't wait to return to Chang'an City and return to the "eldest brother" who treated him like a brother.

When the galloping war horse led Wei Yan to the west gate of Chang'an, what he saw through the wind and snow was that Hua Fei, who was wearing a black robe, was waiting to welcome his return in front of the officials, in the biting cold wind.

Seeing this, Wei Yan hurriedly turned over and dismounted, put down and rushed to Hua Fei's side, opened his mouth and only shouted "Lord ......", then lowered his head and choked up and fell to the ground.

Hua Fei hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, and also looked at the dignified Yiyang brave general in front of him with tears in his eyes, and his eyes were red with emotion in his heart for a while.

He knew that Wei Yan, who was born as an orphan, was alone in this world and had no relatives, and how could he not be like this? Although Wei Yan has been by his side for a short time, Hua Fei has always regarded him as his own brother.

Talking to him and teaching him to be a man, the relationship between the two can be described as a teacher and a friend, like a brother and a brother. When Wei Yan was reluctant to lead the army out of Tunhanzhong that day, how could Hua Fei's heart not be sad because of parting?

However, when the young eagle grows up, it always has to fly high! Wei Yan has the ability to stand alone, he can't selfishly keep him by his side as a guard commander just because he likes Wei Yan, that would be too wronged by this righteous Yang brave general who has been wronged for thousands of years.

So Hua Fei stretched out his hand for the majestic Wei Yan, and gently brushed away the cold snowflakes on the armor, but said with a smile: "How is Wen Chang doing in Hanzhong?" ”

"My lord......" Wei Yan opened his voice with a fist clenched when he heard this, "You transfer me back to your side, I am willing to be the captain of the guard for you for the rest of my life!" ”

"Pure nonsense," Hua Fei knew that Wei Yan was not lying, because he also wanted Wei Yan to follow him, but he said with a smile, "Shu Zhi and Wen Xiang, as well as Zijing and Yuanlong, aren't they farther away from me than you?" ”

Wei Yan was alert when he heard this, but everyone heard Hua Fei chanting loudly in the wind and snow: "The sea is already known, and the end of the world is like a neighbor!" As he spoke, he took Wei Yan's hand and happily walked towards the city side by side.

After Wei Yan and the brothers who had been separated for a long time saw each other, they couldn't help but have some excitement, but it was a pity that they didn't see Gan Xingba, who had always been dragged like two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand.

When Wei Yan led the army to arrive, Hua Fei's big army to attack Hongnong this time had all arrived. So at dawn the next day, Hua Fei was dressed in military uniform on the Chang'an school field, and came to the battlefield spring soldiers.

It was the day when the wind stopped and the snow stopped, and when the three-way gathering of "dong dong dong" was finished, the army stood silently. Hua Fei took the arrow in his hand, glanced at the generals in bright armor, but ordered loudly: "Don't drive Xu Shu to obey orders!" ”

"The subordinates are here!" Xu Shu, who was wearing a sword, hugged his fists when he heard the sound.

"I went to Hongnong to welcome the return of the Son of Heaven to the west, so I should go in person, so that you can take charge of the affairs of Guanzhong during the period when I am not in Chang'an, and you can be careful not to make the Guanzhong lose."

"The lord can rest assured, but the sect will not lose in the time to ensure the customs!"

Hua Fei nodded, handed over the arrow to Xu Shu, but shouted again: "Zheng Nanzhonglang will obey Xu Chu's orders!" ”

"The last general!" In the roar of the tiger, Xu Chu, who had a large waist and ten girths, triumphantly came out and hugged his fists.

"Let you lead 10,000 infantry troops to be the vanguard, open roads and build bridges in the mountains and rivers, there must be no mistakes!"

"The last general commands!" Xu Chu stepped forward to take the arrow with both hands in a high response, but raised his chin triumphantly at Tai Shici on the side, and then returned to the line.

"Dead fatty, you fucking smug! How many battles have I fought here, and I finally saw you become a pioneer officer, but I don't want to be a pioneer for a long time......"

Although Xu Chu didn't speak, just like that, he made Tai Shi Ci angry, but secretly scolded him secretly in his heart that he couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour.

But he heard Hua Fei shouting loudly again: "Bing Cao is engaged, and the general Tai Shici of the expedition to the east will listen to the order!" ”

Tai Shi Ci responded with great joy when he heard this: "The end will be!" He hurriedly came out and saluted Hua Fei with a fist.

But he heard Hua Fei order loudly: "Order you to command 10,000 elite cavalry, and then escort grain and grass and meet all armies." ”

"The last general commands."

It was Rihua who flew to Qi Chang'an with 36,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered Fa Zheng to be the accompanying military division, Wei Yan to be the general of the Chinese army, and finally ordered the soldiers to play more flags and falsely claimed to be 70,000 people.

On that day, the army had completed the order, and Hua Fei personally led the troops who were about to go to the battle, and after draining blood and sacrificing the flag in front of the newly created hero monument in Chang'an, he marched towards Hongnong.

The people of Chang'an saw that Hua Fei was wearing Xuanjia in the support of the army, and the banner was rolling to lead the team neatly, and the murderous army left the city, and they were all envious.

Hua Fei's transfer of troops was extremely reasonable, because he knew that Hongnong's terrain was a geographical environment of seven mountains, two rivers and one river, and it was precisely because this terrain was not conducive to cavalry combat, so he would order Xu Chu to lead the infantry army in front, and let Tai Shici lead the cavalry behind.

This is because a large number of infantry troops in front can level the road for the subsequent cavalry, and it can also make it possible for the cavalry to quickly react to reinforcements if there is something ahead.

The so-called courage of the enemy is cowardice in small battles, Hua Fei did not underestimate him because Zhang Ji was already weak, and he used 'whispering tactics' to make the people in his territory boil towards him.

Instead, he was fully prepared, and he was ready to fight with Zhang Ji's more than 40,000 troops at any time.

Hua Fei's army was on the way from Chang'an to Tongguan, because it was in its own territory, and the road was flat, so it moved very quickly, so that the whole army arrived at the majestic Tongguan on the twenty-third day of the first month.

Hua Fei led the army to stay at Tongguan overnight, but because after crossing the frozen Tongshui tomorrow, the terrain would change accordingly. It is no longer a flat place in Guanzhong, but a very dangerous terrain.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, Wei Yan led 3,000 mountain elf soldiers to take Xu Chu's vanguard position, and went all the way to the sentinel first, ordering Xu Chu to lead 10,000 infantry troops to respond.

However, he commanded 7,000 mountain elite soldiers as the Chinese army, and Tai Shici still commanded 10,000 elite cavalry as the queen. After the army crossed Tongshui, Hua Fei, who was urging the army to move quickly, uncharacteristically made the army move forward slowly with great fanfare.

Hua Fei's order to order the army to slow down the speed of the march, and only traveled less than 100 miles a day, so he ordered the generals to set up camp, and when he landed, the generals who believed in the speed of the army were greatly puzzled.

Hua Fei faced the generals' inquiries, but they all smiled and did not answer, in fact, the generals did not know that Hua Fei's heart wanted to take the entire Hongnong faster than them, so as to come to Luoyang.

Because Hua Fei seems to be very calm on the surface, in fact, he has always been worried about one thing in his heart. And it was precisely because of this uneasiness that he was forced to march eastward in this cold weather.

However, Hua Fei also knew the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and he ordered the army to slowly march forward and put on a formation of black clouds to destroy the city, which naturally has his reasons.

Because when he made a decision, after detailed planning with Xu Shu and Fa Zheng, he had already expected the battle against Hongnong Zhangji, if the situation developed well, Hua Fei might be able to successfully take Hongnong County without firing an arrow.

And if the situation is unsatisfactory, then Hua Fei can only be determined by the situation, because this New Year is too cold, almost to the point of dripping into ice, and this kind of weather is undoubtedly not suitable for attacking the city.

However, Hua Fei, who was confident, didn't know what he was worried about, and when he entered Hongnong with great fanfare, he was also quietly developing. (To be continued.) )
