The next day, Cao Ying came to the Luoyang military camp.

His soldiers and horses were stationed separately from Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, after all, they were different camps, and although they were allies at this time, they had to be clearly distinguished.

The neat and powerful cheers in the school yard were deafening, and the general in armor stood aside to personally supervise the soldiers' training.

Compared with Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses who came all the way from Hebei and were recuperating recently, Cao Shao's soldiers and horses insisted on training every day without the slightest slack.

The soldiers are meticulous in training, Cao Ying is rigorous in governing the army, and he is effective in the upper and lower ranks, and the training of the generals under his command is also not half a child's play.

These 50,000 soldiers and horses are indeed Cao Ying's elite soldiers, and this expedition, Xiahou Dun, who came with Cao Ying, is the general who supervised Cao Ying's training.

Wearing armor, he is extremely powerful, Xiahoudun's momentum is majestic, and one eye is covered by an eye patch, which is quite intimidating.

That eye was lost by a stray arrow during the battle when Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou.

It can be seen from this that Xiahoudun took the lead and fought on the battlefield, completely ignoring his personal surname.

Cao Ying's arrival did not disturb the solemn atmosphere of the school, Xiahoudun gave Cao Ying a salute and handed over the training to his generals, and then walked towards the handsome tent with Cao Ying.

There is someone in the tent, Xiahou Yuan.

He was holding the military book in his hand and studying it carefully, and after hearing the footsteps, he raised his head, saw Cao Ying and Xiahou Yuan who was following behind him, put down the military book, and Xiahou Yuan got up and saluted Cao Ying with his head and fists.

"My lord."

After nodding slightly, Cao Ying walked to the main seat and sat down, without greetings, and went straight to the point.

"Things are as I expected, Yuan Benchu ordered me to fight Wuguan, but I didn't go personally, but handed over this task to the two of you. Everything will go according to the previous plan. ”

After Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan glanced at each other, they did not look excited, but were a little excited.

Cao Ying saw the expressions of the two of them and knew that they were dissatisfied.

It's important that someone do it.

"Remember, if you attack Wuguan, you can build momentum, Hangu Pass is not broken, and you two can build a confrontation situation in the east of Wuguan."

After Cao Ying admonished, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan hugged their fists together to receive the military order.

To a certain extent, the generals prefer to fight between the two armies straight forward, and the thrilling battlefield battles can make their blood boil.

It's just that the war is never a fist fight between thugs in the market, the reason why a famous general is a famous general, it is more about being a step ahead, and the name of Xiang Yu's overlord is powerful in ancient and modern times, but he has lost the country at his fingertips.

After Cao Ying gave the military order, he returned to his residence in the city, but he got the news that Yuan Shao had begun to send troops to attack Hangu Pass, Yuan Shao did not go in person, but sent Zhang Jaw and Chun Yuqiong, each leading 30,000 troops, but the banner of Yuan and Cao was put on the soldiers and horses.

It's not okay not to use Cao Ying's banner, after all, Yuan Shao was invited by Cao Ying, and the war must be in Cao Ying's name.

It is not possible not to erect Yuan Shao's own big sword, because it is Zhang Jaw and Chun Yuqiong who lead the troops to fight, both of whom are Yuan Shao's generals, and people cannot mistakenly think that these two people and the soldiers and horses are Cao Ying's.

This is all Yuan Shao's subjective move, Cao Ying shook his head after learning about it, and said to Xun You: "Yuan Benchu went to Hanguguan with great fanfare, I really don't understand what he is anxious about?" My soldiers and horses have not yet arrived at Wuguan, but he moved first, Guo Jia will definitely reinforce Wuguan after learning the news, he is simply doing a disservice. ”

Xun You smiled and said nothing, and Yuan Shao sometimes laughed at what he thought he had done.

But this time, I can't guarantee that Yuan Shao is just thinking about Cao Ying, and they all want to secretly stumble on each other.

Because of Yuan Shao and Cao Yingtun's troops in Luoyang, the people of Guanzhong were panicked, there was no right or wrong between the princes, only peace and war, and the people didn't care whether Guo Jia should be crusaded or not, they only cared about whether Guanzhong could be peaceful.

In addition to the two counties of Hongnong and Hedong in Hanguguan, which have completely declared that it is impossible to resume production this spring, the counties around the land of Sanfu are still speeding up the pace of resuming life in an orderly manner.

At this moment, it is the time for the wise and skilled people to work hard, and the level of practical ability is vividly reflected at this time.

Whether or not the people can be appeased in an extraordinary time is a test of the ability of a local parent official.

Guo Qi was transferred to Chang'an, and as a high-ranking official in Chang'an, his most important task recently was to inspect the political achievements of officials in Chang'an.

One spring, coinciding with war, whether or not you can sit firmly in the official position depends on your ability.

According to common sense, if Guo Jia did not return to Yizhou to protect himself at this moment, he should at least stay in Chang'an City, but he ordered to lead the army out of Chang'an to Zheng County in the east, intending to set up camp in Zheng County.

His purpose was simple, on the one hand, not to let the flames of war burn to the land of Sanfu, and on the other hand, to make a decision based on the location of the decisive battle he had planned, and Zheng County was one day away from Hangu Pass and Wuguan to reduce the back and forth of intelligence.

Dressed in armor, the heroic Guo Jia rode on the flaming horse and led the army out of the east gate of Chang'an.

He transferred all the soldiers and horses away from Chang'an, Chang'an was empty, he didn't care, at this juncture, Chang'an was the same for him.

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying entered Guanzhong, and without Hangu Pass, it was equivalent to losing Chang'an.

If Han Sui and Ma Teng take the opportunity to attack, as long as they conquer Chen Cang and cut off Guo Jia's grain route, Chang'an will fall into an isolated and helpless situation.

Therefore, his soldiers and horses poured out of the nest in the pass, and it was unwise to divide the troops to defend the city.

In Fufeng County in the west, there are 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Wu Ban and Meng Da to strictly guard against two vicious wolves in the northwest.

There are 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhang Liao in Hangu Pass in the east, and 10,000 soldiers and horses of Yan Yan in Wuguan in the southeast.

Guo Jia himself led 20,000 Jinfan troops, Xu Chudianwei had a total of 10,000, and 4,000 trapped camps.

This adds up to a total of 84,000 soldiers and horses, and in fact, it can be put into the battle against Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, only 74,000.

And Yuan Shao and Cao Ying, together there are 250,000!

In terms of the comparison of troops, the other party is more than three times that of Guo Jia.

Is Guo Jia afraid? I'm afraid I have to fight, since a big war is inevitable no matter what, let's go out and fight once.

If he wins, he will be the uncrowned king of Kansai, and he will be the four seas!

Defeated, he slipped back to Yizhou, and the dormant life of the past five years was in vain.

The formation is like a dragon, winding and long, slowly moving eastward.

Guo Jiace rode beside the army, and there were also three people riding horses beside him.

Zhen Yu, Zhang Xu, and Zhang Qin came to see them off, and at this moment, there was a feeling of "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return".

Yuan Shao and Cao Ying have so many soldiers and horses, Guo Jia can't defend Guanzhong, and the three of them have no bottom in their hearts.

Looking at the army that was constantly moving eastward, the three of them were embarrassed, and they were somewhat pitiful, and they more or less thought that they were going to die.

Gossip aside, business matters.

Zhang Xu arched his hand towards Guo Jia and said: "The things ordered by the envoy have been completed by the Chamber of Commerce, and the grain and grass will be handed over to Lord Xu, as for the second thing requested by the envoy, those craftsmen and laborers have also gone to Huayin under the arrangement of the Lord Fa. The third thing is that as soon as the war starts, Hebei and Jingzhou will be launched together. ”

The wealthy families of Yizhou may have never worked together with a monarch to resist being a foreign enemy, and they were also forced to see all the blood they had invested in Guanzhong go down the drain.

The grain and grass they brought were all sold to Guo Jia as military rations, and they were still being transported to Chang'an one after another.

Although they didn't know what Guo Jia wanted these people to do, they still obeyed the arrangement and sent these people to Huayin, and the wages were fifty percent higher than usual, after all, Huayin was not far from Tongguan, and further east of Tongguan was Hangu Pass.

Now the Yizhou Hao clan has gradually become desperate, if Guo Jia loses and Guanzhong loses, their losses are unimaginably huge.

Wealth and danger are sought.

If Guo Jia can survive this hurdle, Guo Jia and the Yizhou wealthy family can be regarded as sharing weal and woe, and the relationship between the two parties can be closer and the combination of interests will be stronger.

One is prosperous, and one is lost.

"Today, I say that you will help you and remember it for a lifetime."

In all fairness, although Guo Jia knew that the two parties had no feelings to talk about, and if it weren't for interests, the Yizhou wealthy family would not be able to stand on his side now, but he still had to remember their good.

Remember the goodness of people and forget the mistakes of others.

There is no grudge that cannot be resolved, and no one is a natural enemy.

Anyway, the Yizhou wealthy family now understands that it is better to follow Guo Jiaming than to follow other princes.

Yuan Shao is very famous, and there are many noble clans under his command, but it is not necessarily that the wealthy families in Yizhou can live a better life than now if they are ruled by Yuan Shao, the classes are all layer by layer, and the power is also strong and weak, high and low, there are no low-level people, and there is no so-called high-level group.

It's like the rise of a new wealthy family in Guanzhong, and the background and power are obviously inferior to the Yizhou wealthy family.

"Make your words heavy, the situation is urgent, we will not delay the time of the envoy, on behalf of the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, I wish the envoy a successful battle, so that Guanzhong will not be poisoned by the strong."

Zhang Xu showed a solemn look on his face, and Zhen Yu and Zhang Qin also had a somewhat nervous expression.

They are all afraid of war, not the annihilation of businessmen who dream of making a fortune every day, and harmony is the environment they pursue.

Guo Jia didn't say much, and rode away after returning the salute.

Under the vast sky, the army of 34,000 men was in high spirits, and the battle spirit was full of desire to approach the east.

In Guanzhong, Guo Jia only has four strategists available, Fa Zheng, Pang Tong, Jia Xu, and Xu Shu.

Xu Shu stayed in Chang'an, although Chang'an was not fortified, but someone had to maintain the overall situation.

Fa Zheng was sent by Guo Jia after listening to it, Jia Xu went to Hangu Pass, and Pang Tong went to Wuguan.

As for Wu Ban and Meng Da of Fufeng, Guo Jia did not assign strategists to supervise the battle.

Because if Ma Teng and Han come to attack, Guo Jia doesn't need Wu Ban and Meng Da to worry too much, no matter how many people come from the other side, just start a war, they step into Fufeng, as long as Wu Ban and Meng Da have the ability to fight to the westernmost part of Liangzhou, Guo Jia doesn't care.

However, the possible surnames of Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack are very small, and their own internal chaos is still a pot of porridge, and it is still a question whether their own territory is enough to keep the soldiers and horses, to attack Guo Jia in Guanzhong? Not to mention that it was instigated by Cao Ying, even if the Son of Heaven really issued an edict to them, they might not be able to do it.
