Xianyang, Taishou Mansion.

"Smack!"

Yan Xing gasped heavily, smashed a wine cup in his hand, he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Xu under the hall, and roared angrily: "You! Send someone to check it out for me! Check it out for me! Let's see if Zhao Yun in Yuzhong was rescued by Ma Teng! ”

"No!"

Jiang Xu hurriedly got up when he heard this, and was about to walk out of the hall quickly, just walked to the edge of the door, but saw a scout running into the hall in a hurry, with a sweaty face, he arched his hand at Yan Xing, and said: "Yan Shuai, something is wrong, something happened in Yuzhong!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked! I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Yuan Shang was not bluffing, there was really something wrong in the rear of Liangzhou!

Yan Xing forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, glared at the scout angrily, and said, "What's wrong with Yuzhong? ”

The scout hurriedly reported: "Ma Teng, Wen Hui, Zhang Ji, Jia Kui and others, united with the three tribes of Li, Ji, and Po in the Qiang tribe, and attacked Yuzhong, Yuzhong was conquered, Zhao Yun was rescued, and our base was lost!" ”

Yan Xing looked at the scout in a daze, speechless for a long time.

When he was young, he saw him sitting on the handsome floor, and said distractedly: "Ma Teng has been hiding in Liangzhou for so long, who provided the grain and grass?" The Qiang people's taxes and grain are not enough, how can they provide for him...... Yuzhong's main formation is gone, what about his mother's Yu Xin! Where did Yu Xin's husband die? ”

The scout swallowed and foamed, and stammered; "It's not the Qiang people who supply Ma Teng's grain, I heard that it's Agui and Yang Qian, the kings of Di...... And General Yu is already dead, he was killed by Zhao Yun......"

"Rubbish!"

Yan Xing got up and kicked the handsome case in front of him away, and shouted, "It's good to be dead!" Useless waste! It's more damn peace of mind to die...... The Di people actually secretly opposed me, and when I returned to Liangzhou, they were the first to clean up! ”

After taking a few breaths, Yan Xing said, "Ma Teng has defeated Yuzhong." And where did his soldiers and horses go? Want to swallow Jincheng County on the spot? ”

"No, their soldiers and horses have already left the Jincheng territory, but I don't know what the specific intention is......

Yan Xing got up, pointed at the scout heavily, and said angrily: "Probe again, quickly find out the movements of Zhao Yun and Ma Teng, and submit the news to me in the shortest possible time!" ”

"No!"

"No need to probe."

Meng Jian stood up slowly and said, "As I expected, it's good." Zhao Yun must be going to Tianshui, Tianshui County is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Zhao Yun can refuse to defend here, then enter the Xiliang Counties, retreat can be conservative in Tianshui, can be attacked and defended, it is extremely difficult to pull out! ”

Yan Xing lowered his head when he heard this, and didn't say anything. Think carefully.

Not far away, Song Jian sat on the guest head seat and looked at Yan Xing, and when he saw that he stopped talking, he immediately said helplessly: "Brother Yan." If you want to say, you are careless, what a big person is Zhao Yun? Tiger! You don't send a capable chant to take care of him, a little careless. It's not a shame! Now it's pounded, the front is Yuan Shang, and the back is Zhao Yun. Before the wolf and then the tiger, how can you say that this battle is still swollen? ”

Yan Xing thought for a while and said: "Xiliang is our rear, we must not save it, King Song, at this moment, you and I should go hand in hand to fight the enemy together, and we must not hide our selfish intentions...... So be it! I led the troops and horses of the headquarters to fight against Zhao Yun, and the king of labor was here to deal with Yuan Shang, and the Qiang soldiers and horses led by Xiping Koji, Ding Linghu and Lindai were about 70,000 people, and I let them be under the command of Meng Jian, and also left the king to help! ”

Meng Jian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "I will lead 70,000 Qiang people to stay, then there are only more than 60,000 people under your command, if Zhao Yun sticks to the city, how can he fight?" ”

Song Jian also nodded and said, "Yes, yes!" What a skill Zhao Yun has, what a prestige Ma Teng has, if they gain a firm foothold in Liangzhou, they can conjure up tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the blink of an eye! ”

Yan Xing took a deep breath and said, "Now that I have a solution...... Xiqiang King Cheriji, in the Moxi outside Dunhuang to establish a country, his people across the Western Regions of the states, as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses, his people once belonged to the Han Dynasty, but because of self-reliance and fled, I should promise to cut the land today, ask him to send troops, help me encircle and suppress Zhao Yun together! ”

Meng Jian was shocked when he heard this, and said: "Cherry Ji is a wolf's ambition, he just didn't obey the minister's festival back then, and was expelled by the Qiang Dao order to the imperial court, and united with the Liangzhou Thorn History and other Qiang tribes, and today he is called back, won't it lead the wolf into the house?" ”

Yan Xing shook his head and said, "Now that it's over, I can't care who is a tiger or a wolf?" The top priority is to destroy Zhao Yun and pacify the rear, and I will personally fight! Here I will hand it over to you and King Song, King Song has 100,000 armor under his command, plus 70,000 Qiang soldiers, even if Yuan Shang can't be destroyed, it is enough to wait for me to come back! ”

"But ......"

"Don't say it, this matter is decided, just do it!"

“…………”

After the plan was decided, Yan Xing left the Qiang and Meng Jian here to assist Song Jian in dealing with Yuan Shang, and then packed up his troops and horses and hurried straight to Liangzhou.

After Yan Xing's soldiers and horses returned to Liangzhou, Yuan Shang's spies immediately learned the news and brought the news back to Chang'an.

After Yuan Shang heard this, a deep smile appeared on his face.

This is exactly what he wants, Yan Xing retreats, and the enemy army divides its troops! Although Song Jian has a lot of soldiers and horses, he has no generals under his command, only the Meng Jian who met him last time may be more skilled, but without Yan Xing, it must be easier to deal with.

As for why Meng Jian appeared here, Yuan Shang probably had a conclusion in his heart......

This matter is probably inseparable from Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others, and the two sluts will settle this account with them sooner or later.

At this point, Yuan Shang did not hesitate and immediately convened his generals to discuss how to deal with the anti-king Song Jian.

***********************

Tianshui, Gongcao Mansion.

"Sinner, Jiang Yin, have seen the Metropolitan Governor! Sin will surrender to the enemy, you can't be martyred, sin deserves death, please surrender the Metropolitan Governor! ”

"Jiang Gongcao doesn't have to be like this, get up!" Zhao Yun stepped forward, helped up Jiang Yin, this time to attack Tianshui, Zhao Yun and others pretended to be in the letter of soldiers and horses, Jiang Yin should be outside, open the city, in order to kill the rebel in one fell swoop, take the city, if not, with the city of Tianshui. Zhao Yun wants to take the city in a short time, but it is really enough.

Zhao Yun pulled Jiang Jian to sit down and comforted: "Jiang Gongcao's loyalty to the lord can be seen by the sun and the moon. Isn't that a great achievement? Not only will this governor not blame you, but he will also entrust you with a heavy responsibility, and when the rebellion is destroyed in the future, I will ask you to be the guardian of Tianshui. ”

Jiang Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Dadu, the last general will not dare to do his best!" ”

Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Jiang Gongcao, if the water is under my control today, I want to dominate Liangzhou now." What's next for the Governor? Jiang Gongcao is a local, please give me some advice. ”

Jiang Jian thought for a while and admonished: "The top priority is not to think about where to attack. Instead, we should gather up our horses and horses, prepare our weapons, roll logs, and arrows. Stick to the city, because with Yan Xing's temperament, if he knows that there is chaos behind Liangzhou. He will definitely send soldiers and horses back to seize it, and the top priority is to rely on the advantages of Tianshui to block the pace of his attack, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, which is the best policy! ”

Zhao Yun pondered for a moment and said: "This is reasonable, according to what Jiang Gongcao said, you are a local, and you are asked to handle many of these things." ”

Jiang Jian nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor agrees, can the last general not do his best?" ”

After the discussion was decided, Jiang Jian insisted on leaving Zhao Yun to eat in Gongcao's mansion, but Zhao Yun refused, saying that he would go back to the barracks to prepare and gather the hearts of the soldiers in the city.

Jiang Jian was also inconvenient to persuade, and immediately sent Zhao Yun out of the mansion.

Today's Zhao Yun seems to have returned to his usual demeanor, dressed in silver-white armor, wearing a Xichuan Shu brocade robe, carrying a long sword at his waist, heroic posture, although his face is still haggard and withered, but he has vaguely recovered a little of his appearance before being placed under house arrest.

Walking out of Gongcao Mansion, Zhao Yun turned over and got on the horse, but saw a little boy sitting on the stone steps next to Jiang Jian's Gongcao Mansion, about seven or eight years old, carrying a small cloth bag on his back, wearing a small cloth shirt, staring at a pair of big watery eyes, staring at himself clearly, the little boy's face was extremely cute, although he was not very old, but the high nose bridge, white face, slender and small eyes, vaguely had a handsome outline.

"Huh?"

When the child saw the long sword on Zhao Yun's waist, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then got up from the steps, jumped to Zhao Yun's horse, stared at his sword carefully for a while, raised his head, and said timidly: "Excuse me...... Is this sword of yours the famous sword 'Xuan Gan' in the Northland? ”

The sword on Zhao Yun's waist was given to Ma Teng by Yang Wan, the king of Di, in Dunhuang, and after rescuing Zhao Yun, Ma Teng gave it to his son-in-law Zhao Yun, as for the origin, Zhao Yun really doesn't know very well.

Listening to the child's question, Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "You said this sword...... What is it? Where does it come from? ”

The little boy blinked his eyes and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise: "You don't know?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head inexplicably, and the little boy hurriedly changed his words when he saw this, showing an innocent smile, and said, "Actually, it's nothing...... Uncle, I don't think I've ever seen you around here, are you a foreign general? ”

Zhao Yun saw that this child looked like a carved pink bracelet, very cute, so he didn't bother him, and said with a smile: "Yes, my uncle is a general from out of town, and he has just arrived in the city not long ago, whose child are you?" What to do here? ”

"Me?" The child nodded his nose, pondered for a moment, and grinned, "That...... I'm a book seller...... Scholar! ”

"The ...... of the Book Seller Scholar? Zhao Yun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a business in the world?" ”

The little boy sighed, like a little adult: "I can't help it! The world is not peaceful, and in order to have enough to eat, you have to do everything...... Uncle, don't look at me small, but this book is authentic and out of print, the cost is not low, all made of 'Four Feet Dan', do you want to buy two copies and treasure them? ”

Zhao Yun found it interesting, and then said, "What goods do you have in your hand?" Show me. ”

But seeing that the child clumsily untied the small cloth bag he was carrying from his back, he took out a large stack of 'Four-Foot Dan' from it, took out one of them, shook it at Zhao Yun, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, this book is a peerless secret book that is not born in the world, and it is said to be the same edition as Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique" back then!" Worth 10,000 gold, the content is shocking! Originally, it was not for sale...... But I see that uncle, you are an unborn general, and there will be great development in the future, I will bleed today, it is cheaper, take this book for your sword, what do you think? ”

Zhao Yun: "............" (to be continued......
