Wang Xu and Han Sui looked at each other and did not back down, he was giving Han Sui a deep memory, and it was also a statement.

Even if the situation is not good to fight you, if you are an enemy of Jingyi Erzhou, you will definitely pay the price.

Han Sui's face changed for a long time, and he really wanted to scold him, and then wave his army to fight to the death, but he was not an impulsive person, and he understood the consequences of doing so.

In the end, he gave in, made the right choice, closed his eyes and bowed, his voice hoarse with an indescribable hoarseness.

"General Wang, who was provoked by traitorous ministers, invaded the place where the general was guarded, and caused deaths and injuries, and I hope that the general will see that he has also been deceived by others, and he will not care about it."

For Han Sui, for this powerful man who has dominated the party for many years, it is extremely difficult to say such things, and his face is full of grief and indignation.

Although Wang Xu wanted to suppress him, he didn't want to force him too hard, leaving a knot that could not be dissolved, and immediately smiled: "General Han was deceived by a traitor, if this is the case, it is not easy for General Ben to pursue it too much, but the previous war made many of the soldiers under his command disabled, and now there is no land to settle down, which is really a bit difficult to do!" ”

Han Sui has long known about Yiqiē, and after listening to his words, he understands that this is already the result of considering "being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other well in the future".

Otherwise, if he was really forced to hand over Wudu County in public, what could he do except be jealous in his heart!

"General Wang, now that my treacherous sworn brother Ma Teng has gathered a crowd to divide the territory, I have gradually felt that all parties in the town are not able to handle it, and this Wudu County may not be able to scruple now, so I might as well entrust it to General Wang, and General Wang will guard it on my behalf. to settle those innocent wounded soldiers. It can also make Wudu more stable. How is it? ”

"This ......"

Wang Xu pretended to hesitate, did enough to save face, and sighed after a while: "Okay, although it is not in line with the laws of the Han Dynasty, but now that there are rebellions and extraordinary things are done in extraordinary times, General Ben will take over the important task of defending this place, and in the future, he will be a brother with General Han." Lean on each other. ”

Han Sui was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, he couldn't say anything about his suffering, he took a deep breath, calmed down his agitated mood, and said goodbye directly: "Then thank you general, if there is nothing else, I will wave my army to withdraw from Wudu and go to quell the Ma Teng rebellion!" ”

Han Sui didn't want to stay for a moment now, he just wanted to leave this place quickly.

He understands that this is the case today. Wang Xu is satisfied, so he will not fight for him anymore. can retreat safely, after all, forcing him to a dead end will not be good for Wang Xu, and he even understands that these people want him and Ma Teng to fight to the death from the bottom of their hearts.

He and Ma Teng both knew this truth, but they couldn't change it, because if they wanted to dominate, dominating Liangzhou was the way they had to go.

"Huh! General Han, wait a moment! Wang Xu suddenly stopped Han Sui, who was about to leave.

"What else is the matter with the General?" Han Sui suppressed his anger and said, he thought that Wang Xu still had a request.

Wang Xu smiled: "General Han, take away all the money, food and materials that belong to you, I want to come to Your Excellency to quell the rebellion, and there is an urgent need, and he is also a Han Chen, so he should try his best to assist the general, if he really can't resist it in the future, he can ask for help from this general." ”

"Really?" Han Sui's eyes widened suddenly.

"Of course! In the future, General Han can discuss with me at any time if he has anything missing, and as long as he can help, he will spare no effort. Of course, the surplus Xiliang in the hands of the general can also support me a lot, brothers, they should take care of each other! Wang Xu nodded.

Han Sui didn't understand it, this obviously meant that he would still exchange supplies with him in the future, and would try his best to help him fight against Ma Teng.

Although he understands that this is Wang Xu who does not want Ma Teng to dominate, but for him, it is a great help, this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy that is difficult to refuse, if he wants to live, if he does not want to discard the current qiē, he will never refuse.

"Thank you!"

"Just help each other!"

Before leaving, Han Sui glanced at Wang Xu deeply, and couldn't tell what kind of eyes it was, with helplessness, resentment, and appreciation, it was too complicated......

Wang Xu didn't think about it so much, and after he was far away, he immediately whispered to Dian Wei behind him: "When I go back, I will send a letter, and you will immediately send a confidant to send a letter to Ling Wanqing in Chang'an, and ask him to dispatch the spy department to send it to the hands of Shi Gaogan and Yuan Shao in Bingzhou." ”

Hearing this, Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Lord, what is the matter this time?" ”

Wang Xu thought about it, but there was nothing to hide, and said with a smile: "Although Han Sui returned without damage, after all, if he lost the first move, he will definitely fall behind, according to the previous information, at least Jincheng County will not be able to keep it, and his strength will be greatly weakened in the future, and it will be difficult to compete with Ma Teng for a long time." ”

"I want to persuade Yuan Shao and Gao Gan to temporarily block the trade with Ma Teng, especially the exchange of strategic materials such as grain and iron tools. If necessary, they can also send troops to help, so strongly support Han Sui, and his side has the strength to fight for a long time. ”

"Then will Yuan Shao and Gao Gan agree?" Dian Wei asked.

"Yes!" Wang Xu smiled and nodded: "They are now bordering us, and exchanging at the border can not only get what he wants, but also save time and effort, and the security is also higher, why not do it?" In addition, if Ma Teng is a dominant family, he is also a powerful threat to the merger state, maybe he will occupy the merger state, he is also worried, and he can give me a favor, kill three birds with one stone, why don't they do it? ”

"I see!"

Dian Wei suddenly realized, and then happily followed Wang Xu back to Sanguan.

After that, Han Sui's army withdrew at a very fast speed, leaving only 10,000 people to escort Wudu's various supplies.

Soon, the three-way army of Jingyi Erzhou took over Wudu in an all-round way, and successfully converged under the Wudu County Government.

Tian Feng, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Zhang Ren and others had not seen Wang Xu for two or three years, and they were all so excited that they burst into tears.

A few days later, the war in the north has completely subsided, and what will follow will be a long period of aftermath and governance.

Huang Zhong, Wu Yi, and Zhang Ren brought over 30,000 people earlier, plus the 10,000 people stationed at Baishuiguan and other fortresses in northern Yizhou, a total of 40,000 people, but in the fierce battle with the Qiang and clan rebels planned by Sima Yi, more than 10,000 casualties were lost, and less than 30,000 people were killed.

Wei Yan garrisoned 30,000 people in Hanzhong, and after the bloody battle of Yangping Pass, there were only more than 10,000 people left.

Since then, these two troops and horses have been officially merged into the Northern Army, and the general Wei Yan has been relieved of the post of Taishou in Hanzhong, and he has officially commanded the Northern Army to defend Wudu.

The Pingyu general Wu Yi and the Jianwei general Zhang Ren belonged to the Northern Army and assisted Wei Yan.

Wudu County will be the gateway of Yizhou in the future, with Hanzhong in the east and Xichuan in the south, so the dispatch of a whole corps to garrison alone is enough to show that Wang Xu attaches great importance to it, and it must be known that according to the previous establishment, a corps is full of 80,000 people.

In addition, the Blue Dragon Legion commanded by Zhao Yun currently has 40,000 people, 10,000 Green Dragon Knights, 10,000 elite soldiers, and 20,000 Southern Barbarian Armor Guards.

Considering that in the first battle of Si Li, Chen Zhi and Wang Ling's dedication was the key to the entire situation, and their merits were extremely high, and the two were rare good generals.

Wang Xu was promoted respectively, with Chen Zhi as General Zhaowu and Wang Ling as General Zhaolie, and was transferred to the Blue Dragon Army to assist Zhao Yun.

Chen Zhi and Wang Ling's personalities, since they met Zhao Yun, they are also very compatible, deeply respect Zhao Yun's character and martial arts, and are extremely happy to serve him.

However, the three of them were not able to stay in Wudu for a long time, and after quickly completing the reorganization of the army, they took the Qinglong Legion to the north to help the wind, and they will temporarily be responsible for the defense of the division and the northern army of Wudu, and jointly defend the western border.

Only three days after Zhao Yun and the others left, Wang Xu was worried about the war in Jingnan, and did not dare to stay longer, so he hurriedly returned to Xiangyang with the rest of the people, and only issued the only order to the few troops who are now guarding the north, and recruited and trained on the spot, all matters were according to the standards set by the General's Mansion, but they had to report to the General's Mansion in time.

Gao Shun and Zhang He, together with their soldiers and horses, failed to return to Nanyang.

Now that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are inseparable, it is impossible to invade Jingzhou with distraction, so it is enough for Zhang Jing to lead the remaining 30,000 men of the Eastern Army to garrison Nanyang. On the contrary, the war in Jingnan is critical, and now there is a shortage of troops that can be mobilized, and in the face of Jiangdong, which is coming strongly, it has to be dealt with carefully.

Quietly returning to Xiangyang, Wang Xu didn't even have time to enter the city, and he had already encountered the frustration that greeted him.

He led the army back only to inform Fu Zhu and Chen Deng, and the rest of the people are still unknown.

Wang Xu strode forward, wrapped the horsewhip in his hand, and asked: "Gonghe, how is the war in Jiangdong?" Also, did Ling Wanqing come back? ”

"The mother of Wanqing had returned to Xiangyang the day before yesterday, but she set off to the south again that night, the war in Jiangdong was not good, and General Zhou was seriously injured and dying!" Frustrated Professor hurriedly replied.

"What?" Wang Xu's eyes widened, he stopped excitedly, and stared at Frustration: "Zhou Zhi is seriously injured and dying? When was this? What's going on now? What happened? ”

"Hey!" Frustrated with a sigh, he didn't dare to be verbose, and replied: "Lord, General Xu Huang made a surprise attack on the Jiangdong grain road, and almost lost his life for Lu Su, but fortunately, General Zhou noticed the strangeness in time, and hurriedly led his troops to find it, so he rescued Xu Huang, but after he broke off himself, he was trapped by Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, fought dozens of battles, and was seriously injured and fell off the horse, fortunately Huang Xu, Han Meng and his personal guards desperately rescued each other, and then they were rescued from Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, but their injuries were really ......."

Wang Xu was furious, and his eyes seemed to be breathing fire.

Zhou Zhi has the deepest relationship with him, and he deserves to be closer than his own brother in his heart, and this anger almost made him lose control on the spot.

No longer caring about being long-winded, he was already hurriedly rushing back to his war horse, and went up, full of murderous energy, and his voice was so cold that it made people chill: "If Zhou Zhiru dies, Jiangdong and I are not finished!" ”

"Lord, won't you go to the General's Mansion first?" Fu asked hurriedly.

"No, you can tell your family for me!"

After Wang Xu finished speaking, he was already riding his horse back to the sergeant who had just rested in the distance, and the roar resounded in the sky: "All the soldiers will go south with me immediately!" (To be continued......)
