Yewang City is located on the south bank of the lower reaches of Qinshui, and in later generations it was called Qinyang, and the upstream of Yewang was Qinshui County, and the downstream was Zhou County. Since Zhao Yun led the Shen Xi army to enter here, Yewang has become the most dense place in the entire Hanoi.

According to the division of tasks, Zhang Yang and his subordinates Yang Chou and Zhenggu were stationed in Huaixian and Wude respectively. Compared with Qinshui, Yewang, and Zhouxian that Zhao Yun needed to defend, plus Jiguan, Zhang Yang's assigned tasks were obviously easier.

After Zhao Yun led the Shen Xi army to Yewang, Zhang Yang specially rushed from Huai County to greet him, and Zhao Yun happened to reveal his intended battle intentions to Zhang Yang.

Zhao Yun told Zhang Yang that the greatest threat to Hanoi was Yuan Shao's nearly 100,000 troops in Hedong, but because of the terrain, Yuan Shao's troops wanted to enter Hanoi from Hedong, and there were only three roads to take. The first is to enter Hanoi through the hundreds of miles of Yiguan and enter Hanoi from Kei Pass; the second, take a boat down the river from the direction of Dayang City in the east of the river and land near Heyang; Third, let the troops take the old road of Fenshui and go back to Shangfang, and then enter Hanoi from Taihang of Shangdang.

No matter which way Yuan Shao chooses to enter Hanoi, he will have to pass through Zhao Yun's defense area, so Zhang Yang doesn't have to worry at all, he only needs to guard Huai County and Wude, and block the troops sent by Chun Yuqiong from Wei County on the north bank of Qinshui, then the longer it drags on, the greater Yuan Shao's consumption will be, and it is not even ruled out that there are other changes that are unfavorable to Yuan Shao.

Zhang Yang asked Zhao Yun what to do with Zhang Xu's soldiers and horses that had entered Hanoi from Shangdang, and Zhao Yun told Zhang Yang indifferently that as long as the news of his arrival in Hanoi was spread, Zhang Xu would inevitably retreat thirty miles north from Kwai City.

Zhang Yang felt that Zhao Yun was a little arrogant, but he didn't dare to offend Zhao Yun on his lips, anyway, Kuicheng was facing the wild king ninety miles to the south, and if Zhang Xu advanced to the south, it would be the Shen Xijun who was in front.

Zhao Yun did not tell Zhang Yang that Yuan Shao seemed to have three directions to enter Hanoi. In fact, there are two things that simply don't work. Even if nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao's command poured into the Chengnei together, they would not be able to open head-on because of the terrain, so only Dian Wei led 2,000 soldiers could firmly choke the gateway in and out of Hanoi.

Yuan Shao could also take the Yellow River waterway from Dayang City, which is adjacent to the Yellow River, to enter Hanoi, but this can only stay in theory, because the opposite side of Dayang City is Shaanxi County, and Shaanxi County is garrisoned by 10,000 soldiers and horses led by Jia Kui. As long as Yuan Shao made a slight move on the north bank of the Yellow River. Jia Kui on the south bank of the river would immediately find that when the time came to send soldiers to harass him, Yuan Shao's troops would not only be unable to guarantee the concealment of their movements, but it would also be difficult to say whether they would be able to smoothly pass through the hundreds of miles of river from Shaanxi County to Mengjin.

The only way left for Yuan Shao to really pass smoothly is actually to go from Shangdang to Taihang in Hanoi, and Zhang Xu has proved the feasibility of this road with practical actions.

Zhao Yun, as the governor of all walks of life sent by Liu He to Luoyang, all his actions revolved around how to eliminate and disintegrate Yuan Shao's nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Hedong. No avail.

The reason why Zhao Yun stationed his troops in Kwaicheng, which was directly opposite the exit of Taihang Cheng, was actually to prevent Yuan Shao's troops from really making a detour back to Shangdang and suddenly rushing out from Taihang.

Outsiders only saw that Yuan Shao had made eastern, northern, and western deployments against Zhang Yang in Hanoi, but no one knew that Liu He, who was far away in Jicheng, also had a-for-tat deployment of the west, south, and east for the Yuan army in Hedong.

Yuan Shao asked Chun Yuqiong to send troops into Hanoi on the eastern road. Although everything seems to be going well at present, as Gao Lan continues to deepen, it is impossible to turn back to take care of Yecheng, and the Zhenwei Camp and Zhenwu Camp in Jizhou, which have been silent, are not vegetarians. At that time, whether Chun Yuqiong can withstand the two-way siege of Tai Shici and Xian Yufu, only God knows.

Yuan Shao asked Zhang Xu to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses into Hanoi through Taihang Cheng on the North Road, seemingly just to bluff. But it also weakened the defensive forces of the annexed side. The main force under Yuan Shao's command is now all in Hedong, and only one of the senior cadres left in Jinyang remains, and the four northern counties of Bingzhou are now an undefended white land.

Yuan Shao's troops on the western road are indeed strong, if they can enter Hanoi smoothly, even if Zhao Yun rushes to help in the battle, because the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great, the final result is definitely in favor of Yuan Shao's side. However, in order to deal with the Yuan army in Hedong, Liu He had already sent someone to say that Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou had been moved, and these two troublemakers came to attack Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Now that the curtain of the war has been lifted, the news of Zhao Yun's arrival in Hanoi with his army is spreading to all directions at the fastest speed, and all that remains is that all parties will take turns to appear and perform on stage in accordance with the established "script".

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has reached the cold winter season.

Yuan Shao received an urgent report from Zhu Ling and learned that Hao Zhao had the intention of rebellion, so he dared to take a part of his soldiers and horses to block the exit of Jiguan without waiting for his order, and he was immediately generous and thunderous. He gave a death order to Lu Yi, who was located in the middle of Jingcheng, and asked Lu Yi to immediately lead an army to reinforce Zhu Ling, and eliminate all the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that Hao Zhao and he had taken away. Lu Yi had received Zhu Ling's request for help before, but because he was unwilling to fight with Hao Zhao, he deliberately pretended not to receive the news, and now that Yuan Shao's order came, he either obeyed or did not obey Hao Zhao's order, in short, he could not continue to stay where he was.

Lu Yi's family was in Yecheng, and he didn't dare to disobey Yuan Shao's order, so he could only lead the army to join Zhu Ling, and then forced Hao Zhao to come out of the camp and confess.

At this time, Hao Zhao had no way out, he knew that if he went out of the camp to confess, the result would be that he would be tied back to Anyi and beheaded, while the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him fell into the hands of Yuan Shao, and were scattered and divided into various battalions, and Wen Chou finally had nowhere to return.

Fortunately, Dian Wei in Jiguan did not force Hao Zhao to switch to the camp immediately, nor did he take advantage of Hao Zhao's confrontation with Lu Yi and Zhu Ling to carry out some sneak attacks, which made Hao Zhao's idea of continuing to delay and wait for change to be more determined.

Lu Yi and Zhu Ling coerced Hao Zhao into success, and finally had to turn their faces and make a move, and the two sides fought in front of the defenders on the Kei Pass not far away, and the blood flowed like a river. The two sides who fought had originally attacked the Baibo army entrenched in Hedong side by side, but now they have become irreconcilable opponents, and this matter is a little strange and inexplicable.

Koyi's first camp was still so sharp, causing a lot of casualties to Hao Zhao's side who was defending. Seeing that Hao Zhao was about to be unable to support it, the defenders of the Guannai suddenly sent Hao Zhao a batch of strong shields and steel armor, as well as some powerful bed crossbows and bows.

The soldiers who first ascended the camp used the Que Zhang crossbow, that is, a single crossbow with their feet on the winding, while the bed crossbow given to Hao Zhao by Dian Wei was a heavy weapon used to defend the city, and the power of the two crossbows could not be compared at all. Hao Zhao commanded the soldiers to fire bed crossbows at the Xiandeng camp, and after a few rounds, the Xiandeng camp hurriedly retreated, and Hao Zhao held the camp.

Hao Zhao is best at defense, and now that he has a way to deal with the first camp, he is more calm and confident. He secretly asked for food, herbs, and even a tent for winter clothes from the lion in the Guannei, and Dian Wei was taken aback by the huge number put forward by Hao Zhao, but Qu Meng asked Dian Wei to agree to it all, and provided it to Hao Zhao as quickly as possible.

Qu Meng told Dian Wei that in order to deal with the crisis in Luoyang over the years, he had reserved a large amount of military supplies, enough for tens of thousands of troops to spend a year and a half, and Hao Zhao was now helping Hanoi to defend the Kei Pass, and it was also appropriate to provide him with some assistance.

Hao Zhao had all kinds of assistance secretly provided by Keiguan, and he was not worried about being attacked on his back, so he kept in front of the marching route of Liyi and Zhu Ling, so that Liyi and Zhu Ling could not push forward for two whole months.

The delay in the entry of the Western Route army into Hanoi made Yuan Shao feel more and more impatient, and the military advisor Tian Feng did not expect that the originally good deployment turned out to be a split and infighting because of Wen Chou's accident.

Just when Yuan Shao was still having a headache for Keiguan, an urgent report suddenly came from the direction of Jinyang asking for help. According to the agreement, Zhang Yan of Montenegro finally launched an attack on Taiyuan County and Shangdang County in Bingzhou, and the senior cadres who stayed in Jinyang could not stop the 80,000 Montenegrin troops rushing out of the Taihang Mountains, so they could only ask Yuan Shao in Hedong for help.

Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao give up the attack on Jiguan and transfer the Liyi Department to Taiyuan to clear the Black Mountain Army, leaving only Zhu Ling's troops and horses to contain Hao Zhao in Yiguan. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Xubu, who was stationed in Kwai City, to quickly return to the party.

Yuan Shao couldn't think of a better idea, so he could only follow Tian Feng's advice. Just as Yuan Shao urgently mobilized troops and horses to return to the state to help, worse news came.

The mighty Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't know what crazy medicine they had taken, so they took advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River to lead tens of thousands of cavalry into Shangjun, and without waiting for Yuan Shao to make a countermeasure, Ma Teng and Han Sui rushed into the northeast of the river like a gust of wind.

This time, Yuan Shao's trouble was big.

The road back to Taiyuan was cut off, and Yuan Shao could only watch as the Montenegrin army wreaked havoc in the territory of Bingzhou, plundering the wealth and grain of Bingzhou.

If the two pieces of bad news that came one after another would not have knocked Yuan Shao down, but just a few days later, the news from Jizhou was like a long awl, stabbing into Yuan Shao's heart.

Tai Shici, Xian Yufu, plus Qingzhou Tian Kai, the three-way soldiers and horses united, first captured Qinghe County controlled by Yuan Shao, and then took the southern part of Zhao County and Julu County, and now the three-way soldiers and horses are advancing into Wei County, the goal is directly aimed at Yecheng, Yuan Shao's nest that has been painstakingly operated in Jizhou for many years is about to be lost!
