Sure enough, there was no surprise to Wang Shuang, Zhang Liao picked a circle, and finally fell in love with this green-maned horse.

I saw that although its figure was not as strong as the other four horses, the unruly spirit revealed in its eyes was more than equal, the four legs were also very perfect, the joints were round and strong, although the limbs were not strong enough, but Zhang Liao could also see that it was due to young reasons, and in the next year and a half, this horse will become a big weapon!

"Good, good, good...... I'm going to pick this blue-maned horse, and I'm going to pick it. Ziquan, you are 'red in the snow', but I can't ask for it! ”

Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and stroked the green horse's mane, with a look of cherishment. The blue-maned horse obviously didn't sell Zhang Liao's face, and with a loud "sneeze", he twisted his neck back and forth, not letting Zhang Liao touch him.

"Oops...... I just said that Brother Wen Yuan's ability is not as good as mine, and now it seems that you are not bad! Wang Shuang looked distressed, and said happily: "To be honest, although this green horse is not as good as the others now, it is definitely better than my snow red after a year and a half of training!" ”

Zhang Liao laughed at the same time: "Hehe...... The gentleman said that the horse is difficult to chase, and this horse is mine! I'll ride it now and test its foot strength. ”

After speaking, he ordered the soldier to move all the saddles, bridles, and reins of his original yellow-maned horse to this green horse, get ready, turn over on the horse, wave the whip in his hand, and ride out.

At first, the green horse was very reluctant to be ridden, jumping around with joy, trying to lift Zhang Liao off his back, but Zhang Liao clamped his abdomen with his legs. Tightened the reins of the horse with both hands and tightened the bridles, which made the green horse a little painful, and he no longer dared to go wild, and after a competition, he finally became honest.

Although the remaining three horses were also good horses, they were a notch behind Snow Red and the green-maned horse selected by Zhang Liao, and Wang Shuang tried to ride a few laps, but he was not very satisfied, so he lost interest. It was given to a few soldiers to ride. When he was ready to return to Huaixian, he dedicated it to Gongzi Yuan Mai.

Zhang Liao was overjoyed with a good horse, in a good mood, and muttered: "The horse is the soul of a general, and I got this green-maned horse." Come back twice as strong. It should be given a loud name! "Just. I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of any good name.

Wang Shuang smiled and said: "Our son is the best at choosing a name, you look at the big knife in my hand." It was he who helped to obtain it, called 'Tiger Roaring Mountain', isn't it very imposing? Since Brother Wen Yuan can't think of it, why don't you wait until you go back to Huaixian County and ask Gongzi to help you get one? ”

"That's fine!"

Zhang Liao nodded and agreed, if Gongzi can write such a majestic word as "Short Song Xing", he must be someone who asks from the university, and if he asks him to help refer to a name, it will not be extraordinary.

Zhang Liao ordered the whole army to go south, passing through Pingyang, going through Yong'an and Yang counties, and then passing through a section of Hedong's territory, and then entering Hanoi from Keiguan. This road is about 100 miles closer than the detour to Shangdang, which can save a day and a half.

The procession of more than 10,000 people traveled southward, shuttling through the vast snowfield. In the afternoon of the next day, it passed through Yong'an and entered the territory of Yang County.

Ko Yi had already brought a thousand men and horses to wait under the county seat, met Zhang Liao and Wang Shuang, and drank bitterly. Then he counted a thousand war horses, took his own "first camp", and returned to Binh Duong to the south. Zhang Liao and Wang Shuang, on the other hand, continued to urge their men and horses to go east, passing through the "Huze County" in Hedong County, and then entering Hanoi.

However, he said that in Chang'an, Xiahou Yuan heard that he was deceived by Zhang Liao and attacked Pingyang County, causing him to lose five or six thousand soldiers, 230,000 people, and nearly 100,000 stones, grains and grass, so he couldn't help but scold: "Who is Zhang Liao?" It's just a partial general under Lu Bu, who dares to take my city and occupy my land, and he doesn't even take me Xiahou Yuan in his eyes! When the army was raised, recapture Binh Duong. The heads of Xiao Yuan Mai and Zhang Liaozhi are hanging outside the gate, and the hatred in my heart is vented! ”

Angrily lit up 5,000 men and horses, ordered Han Hao and Xu Rao to be the vanguard, and urged 10,000 horses to prepare to cross Feng Yi, cross the east of the river, and counterattack Pingyang. Leaving Zhong Xuan and Chen Qian to guard Chang'an.

Who knew that the people and horses had just left Chang'an for more than 100 miles, and Ma Teng and Han Sui of Liangzhou saw that Chang'an was empty, and secretly dispatched troops to plot to invade the territory.

After getting the report, Xiahou Yuan was annoyed, hit the flagpole with a hateful punch, and scolded angrily: "Ma Teng and Han Sui, these young people are really hateful, they don't dare to face each other head-on, and do some things that are difficult to do. This time, I will temporarily send the heads of Yuan Mai and Zhang Liao, and when I settle the Yongliang area, I will settle this hatred with them! ”

I had no choice but to order the class teacher, quickly recall the forwards Han Hao and Xu Rao, and galloped to Hedong, ordering Taishou Ren Jun to strengthen the defense and beware of Yuan Bing's sneak attack.

The weather is getting colder, and the snow on the field is white, and it seems that spring will not melt before the earth returns.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no Pingyang County. It was not until a few years ago that Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to Xuchang and "served the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate", that the northern part of Hedong County, which had a vast territory, was divided into Pingyang County, and Pingyang County was established with nine counties under its jurisdiction and a population of more than 200,000.

Binh Duong does not border Hanoi, and there is a narrow strip of land belonging to Ha Dong County in the middle, about 30 miles or so. To enter Hanoi, you have to pass through this area.

Zhang Liao's spies learned that there were about 7,000 garrisons and 500 cavalry in the whole county of Hedong. To the north, nearly 10,000 men and horses of Koji are entrenched in Binh Duong, and to the east is Hanoi, the base camp of Yuan Mai. Zhang Liao expected that Ren Jun would not dare to send troops to plunder, so he ordered the team to pass through Hedong County and enter Hanoi with confidence.

Everything was as Zhang Liao expected, although Ren Jun got the report and learned that Zhang Liao led his troops to cross the border, but the people and horses of the whole county did not add up, and Zhang Liao's troops were large, not to mention that they were surrounded by strong enemies, so they could only close their doors and dare not go out of the city to harass. Zhang Liao's men swaggered through the northern part of Hedong County.

On the road, Zhang Liao pointed to the vast wilderness and said to Wang Shuang: "There is this section of the road from Hanoi to Pingyang, if Cao's army is heavily guarded and cut off traffic, and there is any more contact between the two places, you need to take the party detour." If that happens, it will be a waste of time and manpower. Thirty miles ahead is the county seat of Huze, when you take the city in one go and open up this main road! ”

"Wang Shuang is willing to take the head of the general!" Wang Shuang answered with his wrist on the horse and agreed.

At that moment, Zhang Liao's brother Zhang Kuo led 1,500 people on the left, and Gao Shun's cousin Gao He led 1,500 people on the right.

The two lieutenants received the general's order, and each led his troops to march through the snow and rushed straight to the county seat of Ze. There were only 300 county soldiers stationed in the city, and the city wall was very low, so the county commander knew that he could not hold it, so he abandoned the county seat and led his family and confidants to flee south. The two generals Zhang Kuo and Gao He entered the county seat of Huze without blood.

Zhang Liao then arrived with a large army, ordered a large group of men and horses to be stationed outside the county seat, and entered the city to inspect the people. A capable official was selected to serve as the county commander, and then Zhang Kuo and Gao He were left to lead 3,000 men and horses who broke the city to garrison the county seat of "Huoze", and ordered the two to strengthen the city wall, dig a wide moat, and consolidate the defense to prevent Cao's army from counterattacking.

After taking the county seat of Ho Tze and taking control of the northeastern part of He, he opened up the choke point between Binh Duong and Hanoi, and since then the two places have been unimpeded, the land is bordered, and there is no need to worry about being cut off from it.

He led the team to leave Huze and continue eastward, and then there were thirty miles to enter Hanoi from Kei Pass, and tomorrow afternoon they could reach Huai County.

Riding a horse and walking on the road, Wang Shuang once again expressed his respect to Zhang Liao: "Brother Wenyuan is really a general, he uses soldiers like a god, takes precautions, and nearly doubles the territory of the prince with a snap of his fingers." Be prepared for danger in times of peace, and open up the throat of the two places, this military talent, let Wang Shuang's admiration of the five bodies to the ground! ”

"Huh...... Ziquan has won the award, but it is just the light of the Cao army generals, these people are just some fish and shrimp generations, the real generals are in Xuchang, and when they meet Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, and Yu Ban, these famous generals, it will be hard to win! Zhang Liao rode his horse slowly and said modestly.

Wang Shuang was a little skeptical: "Could it be that Cao Cao's generals are really so powerful?" Hearing Brother Wen Yuan say this, I really want to see the demeanor of these famous generals! ”

At noon the next day, the brigade finally drove 4,000 war horses back to Huaixian, and Yuan Mai personally led Tian Feng, Tian Chou, and Zhuge Jin to welcome more than ten miles out of the land to show recognition for Zhang Liao's achievements.

The cold wind is howling, and the flag is hunting.

Yuan Mai stood under the banner, shook Zhang Liao's hand, and praised: "Wenyuan has worked hard all the way, originally let you trade horses with the Huns, but I didn't expect to take the sheep and help me take Pingyang, which is really a great achievement." This son has already ordered someone to buy a wine feast, and tonight I will reward the soldiers of the three armies! ”

Zhang Liao curtched and said: "The armor is on the body, please forgive Liao for not being able to give full salutes!" Thanks to Gongzi sending someone to Xiapi to recruit Zhang Liao three times and twice, dare not swear to death? Today, I have made a little achievement, and my heart is finally a little at ease. ”

Tian Feng also stood up and spoke: "Hehe...... General Wen Yuan is too modest, and I thought it was a bit of a fuss to buy Gongzi to solicit you so much. Looking at your use of troops today, you really have Han Xin's demeanor, and the Hebei Legion is better than 100,000 soldiers to get such a good general as you! ”

"Mr. Yuan Hao praised it falsely, how dare Liao praise it like this?" Zhang Liao listened to Tian Feng's praise, was a little embarrassed, hurriedly humbled himself, and turned back to Wang Shuang and said, "Ziquan, quickly take out the horses and present them to Gongzi!" ”

Yuan Mai looked at three horses of different colors, and his heart was happy, just using these good horses to buy people's hearts. smiled and said to Zhang Liao: "Since Wen Yuan has a gift to give to someone, I also have a gift to give back, Wen Yuan will be happy when he sees it!" ”

"Oh...... I don't know what kind of gift Gongzi said, let Liao open his eyes? Zhang Liao looked puzzled and asked excitedly. (To be continued......)
