Chapter 44: The Upheaval in Guanzhong

Zhang Lang stood in front of the map, his brow furrowed slightly. The map marks the shape of the current northern grassland, the Xiongnu have completely collapsed, and the rise of Xianbei in the northern grassland has been unstoppable!

Jia Xu came in, hugged his fists and said, "General." ”

Zhang Lang turned around and said with a smile: "You're here?" ”

Jia Xu glanced at the map in front of Zhang Lang and asked with a smile, "The general is worried about the affairs of the Xianbei people?" Zhang Lang looked at the map and nodded, frowning: "The speed of the rise of the Xianbei people is much faster than I imagined!" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Actually, this is also thanks to the general!" ”

Zhang Lang was stunned for a moment and laughed, "That's right!" ”

Jia Xu walked to Zhang Lang's side, glanced at the shape on the map, and frowned slightly, "The Xiongnu have been declining many years ago!" It was only a matter of time before Xianbei replaced the Xiongnu! Glancing at Zhang Lang, "Before, the general went deep into the grassland and killed Shan Yu of the Huns, giving the Huns a heavy blow!" The strength of the Huns was greatly damaged, and the Xianbei people obviously seized this opportunity! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down. glanced at Jia Xu, "Wenhe, how much threat do you say Xianbei is to us now?" ”

Jia Xu rubbed his beard and thought, "There won't be any threat for the time being?" Xianbei people have annexed the Xiongnu tribes, and it will take time to integrate! However, ......" frowned, "If this Xianbei leader is a British lord, within ten years, a force as powerful as the Xiongnu back then will appear in the northern grasslands!" Ay! At that time, the Central Plains may be in danger! ”

glanced at Zhang Lang, hugged his fists and said: "If the general can one day unify the north, the first task should be to go north to the grassland and cut off this external trouble!" ”

Zhang Lang nodded and said with a smile: "Let's put down the matter of Xianbei people for the time being!" He frowned, "Today's Central Plains is in full swing!" What should our army do? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Whether it is Daqin or Dahan, dominating the world starts from Guanzhong!" ”

Zhang Lang pondered: "You mean we should seize Guanzhong first?" ”

"Not bad! Guanzhong is a place of four stops, if the timing of the world is unfavorable to me, you can retreat to Guanzhong and wait for the times to change! Once the timing is in my favor, then the east will send a letter to Guguan to sweep the world in one fell swoop! ”

Zhang Lang said excitedly: "Wen He's words made me suddenly! After a pause, "When is the time to take the customs?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Wait a little longer!" As I expected, there will be drastic changes in Guanzhong soon! ”

Zhang Lang was very surprised, but he didn't ask too much, yes or no just wait and see.

……

Zhang Lang returned to the back garden and strolled along the cloister, thinking about things in his head.

Ay! A sigh suddenly came from the front.

Zhang Lang looked up and saw Dong Ying sitting alone in the gazebo not far away. Thinking of her relationship with Dong Zhuo, Zhang Lang couldn't help but be a little worried, so he walked over.

"Little warbler."

Dong Ying was taken aback, turned her head, and saw Zhang Lang standing in front of her with a smile, and quickly stood up, "When did you come?" ”

Zhang Lang smiled: "I feel it." Holding Dong Ying's slender hand, he sat down, hugged her slender waist and let him sit on his lap. Little warbler, are you thinking about your father? ”

Dong Ying nodded, glanced at Zhang Lang, and said worriedly: "I'm really worried, one day you will face off with your father!" ”

Zhang Lang sighed, "It's all fate!" Looking at Dong Ying's eyes, he said, "But I promise you!" I will not kill your father under any circumstances! If I'm lucky enough to beat him, I'll let him live out his old age in comfort! ”

Dong Ying was excited, "Thank you!" Zhang Lang pinched Dong Ying's nose and said with a smile: "Little fool! We are husband and wife, thank you! ”

Dong Ying was so moved that she wanted to cry.

Eyes turned to the Guanzhong area.

Just when Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were at a standout at Hangu Pass, Xiliang Ma Teng suddenly made a move and led more than 100,000 cavalry under his command to the east to pass all the way. Zhang Ji, who was confronting Guo Yan and Li Zhen, had to quickly order his nephew Zhang Xiu to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to Chencang to stop the enemy.

However, how Zhang Xiu was Ma Teng's opponent, after a few battles, Zhang Xiu was defeated like a mountain and retreated to the east of the martial arts. Seeing this, Guo Yan and Li Ji immediately launched a counterattack, Zhang Ji had no intention of fighting due to the turmoil of the army, and the whole army retreated towards Mei Wu. At the same time, Zhang Xiu gave up martial arts and retreated to Mei Wu.

Ma Teng's army and Guo Bian's army marched in the south and the north, Ma Teng entered Chang'an first, and Guo Bian's army was stationed outside the city of Meiwu.

At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was in Hangu Pass, could not advance or retreat. advance, unable to defeat Yuan Shao; retreated, and there was a danger of being killed by Yuan Shao.

However, Hangu Pass is not a place to stay for a long time after all, and the morale of the army is already unstable. Dong Zhuo finally adopted Li Ru's Jianyi, leaving a small part to block the enemy at Hangu Pass, while he personally commanded the army to retreat to Meiwu day and night. But he didn't want to be attacked by Ma Teng's iron cavalry on the way, and suffered heavy losses, and finally retreated to Mei Wu's less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo himself almost died in the chaos.

The action retreated in a panic to Mei Wu. At the same time, Yuan Shao broke through the Hangu Pass, and the army quickly occupied the counties east of Chang'an.

Look back to Yunzhong County.

Princess Allure hurriedly found Zhang Lang, and at this time, Zhang Lang was talking to Jia Xu. When they saw the princess coming, they got up and saluted.

Princess Allure stepped forward and asked urgently, "Does the general know that Lord Yuan Shao has already attacked Hangu Pass?" ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "Yes." ”

"Do you know that Xiliang Taishou Ma Teng has recaptured Chang'an?"

Zhang Lang nodded again, "Yes." ”

Princess Allure frowned, "Now that the shape is very good, doesn't the general want to cooperate with the two adults to help the big man?" ”

Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Does the princess think that Ma Teng and Yuan Shaofei are so energetic to be a big man?" ”

"Lord Yuan Shao and Ma Teng Taishou are the heroes of the Han Dynasty, why should the general guess them? It's a great general, who sits on a strong army, but doesn't move, doesn't he have different ambitions? ”

Zhang Lang felt that it was really unclear to her.

Seeing that Zhang Lang didn't speak, Princess Allure thought that she was serious, and snorted, "It's not good that the general will save the big man!" Own loyalty Kuang Fu Han room! He turned around and walked away angrily.

Zhang Lang smiled: "This princess really has a character!" ”

Jia Xu shook his head and said: "I can't see the current situation at all, I still used to be in the glory of the Han Dynasty in the past!" Eventually, you will be disappointed! ”

Zhang Lang nodded, "But then again, the current situation in Guanzhong is a mess, isn't it better to make a move?" ”

Jia Xu twisted his beard and smiled: "The general doesn't have to worry, wait." ”

A guard rushed in, knelt down and said, "General Qiyu, the princess has left the city with a group of followers and gone south!" ”

Zhang Lang laughed and said, "It seems that she treats me as a traitor!" After a pause, "If he wants to leave, he will leave, and send five hundred cavalry to escort her to Chang'an." "No!" The guard said yes and left.
