Back in the Shenzhou grassland, another month has passed.

The winter moon is here.

Due to the geographical advantage, the Xiongnu in the north were completely suppressed, which made Li Zheng's eyes completely shift from the north to the situation in the south.

In the past month, the intelligence system has been connected to the Guò firm, and a lot of news has been received one after another.

Since last year, Shenzhou Commercial Bank has quietly extended its tentacles to the counties around Beidi County with the unique products of Caochang as the pioneer.

As for the entire Beidi County, it has also been basically infiltrated, opening up the connection between Beidi County and Chang'an Sanfu.

Of course, the connection is not close. The three important passes and county seats of Beidi County on the verge of Sanfu are actually in the hands of Han Sui's rebels.

At the beginning, the 20,000 rebels stationed in Zuogu in Sanshui County, Anding, and confronting Fuping suddenly disappeared and withdrew, and their real targets were the counties on the border between Beidi County and Zuo Fengyi!

Niyang, Yiju and Qi County!

These three cities were occupied by the rebels, and although they did not completely cut off the communication with Sanfu, they played an extremely important role in the strategic aspect for the rebels.

In these three cities, there are also subordinate shops of the commercial house, so you can still get some news from Chang'an Sanfu intermittently.

As for the surrounding areas of Li Zheng's territory, most of the counties in Anding County in the south also had subordinate shops of the trading houses, and Wuwei County in the west was also infiltrated.

According to the news from various places, Li Zheng and Xun You analyzed and learned that although Han Sui transferred Zuogu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, he did not relax his guard against Li Zheng.

Whether it is Wuwei or Anding County, there are a sufficient number of soldiers and horses stationed. Of course, these soldiers and horses have not yet shown their fangs to Li Zheng.

According to Xun You's speculation, perhaps Han Sui also saw some of Li Zheng's behaviors, and it seemed that he was not loyal to the Han family. Therefore, on a certain period of time, Han Sui did this, perhaps to show his closeness to Li Zheng.

"Maybe I will also send an envoy to make peace with the lord, pull the lord onto his warship, and fight against the court!"

"It's possible."

Li Zheng bowed slightly.

"But he was wrong. I really don't care much about the imperial court, and although it is not appropriate to say disloyalty, it is also reasonable. But Han Sui thought that I would go on the same path as him, which was a big mistake! I'm not the kingdom's idiot, be a pioneer and cannon fodder for him! ”

Xun You said with a smile: "Han Sui's eyes have always been focused on Sanfu, focusing on the imperial court, I don't know the current strength of the lord, and it is natural to have such a guess." ”

"The army of Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo has been stationed in Chang'an" Li Zheng pondered: "Isn't Chen Cang already surrounded?" Why didn't Huangfu Song send troops to rescue? ”

"Huangfu Yizhen is a famous general of a generation, and he knows how important it is to take the initiative in war." Xun You groaned: "If you follow Han Sui's train of thought, you will definitely lose, at least it will be difficult to gain the upper hand." What he is doing now is actually regaining the initiative! ”

When Li Zheng heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "It makes sense!" Han Sui let the kingdom be the vanguard, surrounded Chen Cang, and Huangfu Song did not save him, no matter what Han Sui's follow-up plans were, there was nothing to do. ”

"That's true." Xun Yu said: "Chencang's terrain is dangerous, the city pass is strong, only a few thousand soldiers and horses are needed, you can defend 100,000 troops, Huangfu Song naturally took this into account, knowing that Chencang is worry-free in a short time, so he will not move. In this way, not only can we regain the initiative, but even use Chen Cang as a shield to weaken the rebel offensive, and when the rebels are demoralized for a long time, they will be able to make a complete contribution in one fell swoop! ”

As he spoke, Xun You's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Huangfu Song is worthy of the title of a famous general!" ”

After listening to Xun You's analysis, Li Zheng couldn't help but secretly admire, Huangfu Song can be famous for thousands of years, naturally it is not a waste of fame!

However, in an instant, Li Zheng frowned again and said, "In this way, the rebels are defeated, which is contrary to our previous strategy!" ”

A few months ago, when they learned that Huangfu Song was in charge and Dong Zhuo was supplemented, the two discussed the matter. It is concluded that Dong Zhuo will raise thieves with self-respect.

But if Emperor Fu Song wins a big victory in this battle, if Han Sui is destroyed, Li Zheng will not be able to do it here.

Without Han Sui as a shield in front, once many of Li Zheng's actions are exposed, it will inevitably make Han Ting jealous. The current Li Zheng is far from being able to compete with the Han Court!

The Son of Heaven is not dead, Dong Zhuo is not in chaos, and the world is not in chaos!

When Xun You heard this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the lord will naturally win a big victory, but I expect that Dong Zhuo will definitely not do his best to target the rebels." Besides, hehe, didn't the lord find out, it was still the kingdom that was pushed to the foreground by Han Sui this time, and Han Sui himself was still staying in Hanyang! Even if the kingdom was defeated and died, Han Sui was actually still unharmed! Therefore, even if Dong Zhuo tries his best this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve full success! ”

Li Zheng couldn't help patting his forehead and said with a smile: "It's still Gongda's understanding." ”

The two of them analyzed all the situations thoroughly, and then decided to immediately mobilize most of the elite troops still in Baishuichuan to Fuping to prepare for the upcoming war!

For a time, the counties under Li Zheng's jurisdiction seemed to be clockwork.

Managers at all levels made concerted efforts, and all kinds of war materials began to be hoarded.

In the following month, the 8,000 troops stationed at Baishuichuan, except for 2,000 to guard the city pass, the other 6,000 soldiers and horses were all mobilized to Fuping.

Combined with the Fuping Nuro Division, there are 10,000 troops!

At the end of the lunar month, the end of the year is coming.

Chen Cang is still besieged by the kingdom, Huangfu Song still has not made the slightest movement, and Han Sui is also very good, still nesting in Hanyang.

It seems that nothing has changed, but Li Zheng can clearly feel the tense atmosphere.

The big war is coming

189 years, the sixth year of Zhongping, spring, the first month.

The kingdom besieged Chencang for more than two months, totaling more than 80 days. The 100,000-strong army launched attacks again and again, but could not be attacked for a long time, but lost troops under the Chencang City Pass.

The outrageously low temperature, the knife-like north wind, blew away the 100,000 troops who had not made contributions for a long time, and the only remaining bit of morale.

Although the kingdom is not a good man, it is also the head of a party. Feeling that it was not a way to go on like this, he was ready to withdraw his troops, and when the weather was warm afterwards, he would prepare enough grain and grass to fight Chencang again!

Huangfu Song is waiting for this moment!

Although Dong Zhuojian didn't want to chase Huangfu Song, he only chased after the poor Kou Mo, although the 100,000 army of the kingdom suffered a lot of losses and low morale, but the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, so in order to avoid accidents, Jian Yiyi Huangfu Song waited until the spring flowers bloomed before making plans.

However, Huangfu Song completely refuted Dong Zhuo.

Huangfu Song said that this kingdom army is not a poor man, but a tired army. A tired army without morale and fighting spirit, with a dignified and upright momentum, will definitely be able to achieve full success!

So in the name of the commander of the counterinsurgency and General Zuo, he gave an order to Li Zheng, the captain of Huqiang, and asked him to wait for the opportunity to move on the side, preparing to meet the offensive of the imperial army. Then, he led tens of thousands of elite soldiers and rushed straight to Chen Cang!

In the first month, before the Shangyuan Festival, Li Zheng, who was in Fuping, received an order from Huangfu Song.

did not slack off at the moment, and immediately summoned Xun You and Zhang Shan White Wolf and other generals to discuss the entry of troops.

"My lord, just follow the original plan."

Xun You opened his mouth and said.

Li Zheng bowed slightly, stood up, looked whole, and shouted: "Zhang Shan, Nuluo!" ”

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to lead 500 war horses and light cavalry, 2,500 heavy armor spearmen and light foot archers, a total of 5,500 people, each with siege equipment, troops into Wuwei, be sure to take Guzang, from west to east, to suppress the traitor Han Sui!"

"Whoa!"

The two of them lined up in unison, clasping their fists and promised.

"White wolf, you have commanded five hundred wolf horses as the vanguard, and killed Sanshui! I will lead 100 Qingjia war horses, 500 war horses and light horses, and 3,500 elite foot soldiers, and then I will arrive! ”

"Xun You is a military advisor with the army, a military counselor!"

"All departments pay attention to contact at any time, and if there is any news, report it immediately to Lan Xiangniao!"

"Whoa!"

"Everyone, let's go!"

Hanyang, Jicheng.

Since the fourth year of Zhongping, Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, swallowed his subordinates, and then experienced the Geng Contempt Rebellion, and broke Hanyang, making his people in Liangzhou a dominant family, with tens of thousands of soldiers!

In the past two years, Han Sui has been staying in Hanyang Jicheng, and he has not moved.

The war that seemed to be in full swing was actually done by the kingdom, and Han Sui only contributed to the fire behind him, and he owned most of Liangzhou without spending a single soldier.

Such a method is indeed intimidating.

Han Sui is cunning and cunning, so he naturally knows the skills of the kingdom. And the famous generals of the Huangfu Song generation, although they also had a draw with them in the second year of Zhongping, Han Sui knew that that was not the reason for Huangfu Song!

As for the kingdom, it is definitely not Huangfu Song's opponent, even if he is behind the scenes.

So when he learned that the kingdom's siege of Chen Cang was unsuccessful and he was ready to withdraw his troops, Han Sui was already making preparations.

The kingdom can die, it was the cannon fodder that he retreated to the front of the stage, and it is not a pity to die. Moreover, with the growth of the kingdom's troops, it has gradually become less obedient, and if it dies, it will die, but it will help Han Sui solve the trouble.

But the kingdom is dead, but it can't let the army of the imperial court enter Liangzhou!

Han Sui stared at the map hanging on the wall, silently pondering.

Suddenly, his gaze was fixed on Beidi County, and after a while, he said, "Yanming, do you say that Captain Huqiang will move?" ”

Yan Xing stood aside, his lips moving, and after a long while, he replied, "My lord, I guess, he should be able to move." ”

"Oh? Reason. ”

"This man has ambitions." As he spoke, Yan Xing touched the ugly scar on his face that had been burned by the fire, and said hatefully: "And his ability is not small, I don't believe he will let go of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters." ”

Han Sui bowed slightly.
