The battle between Li Yang and Xuanyuan Honglie, all the princes of Huaguo paid great attention to it.

Because this battle will be about the position of the northern overlord, but also about the powerful enemy they will face in the future.

Li Yangjun was defeated and retreated, suffering heavy damage, and was chased and beaten by Xuanyuan Honglie for more than a month, and directly returned to Puyang City.

This kind of exciting news, within a few days, completely reached the ears of all the princes.

All the princes, when they heard the news, without exception, were all shocked and incredible.

The result of this battle was beyond the expectations of all the princes, and even they couldn't understand why Li Yangjun, who had always been invincible before, was beaten so badly, even if they thought that Xuanyuan Honglie was very strong.

In fact, don't talk about them, even Xuanyuan Honglie himself is a little confused now.

After the war, the battlefield was cleaned, and according to the report, except for the less than 100,000 wounded by his own army, the corpses of the rest of the soldiers were close to one million.

Of course, these were two battlefields, plus the total number of casualties along the way, but even this was enough to surprise him.

Li Yang came here, leading an army of 1.5 million people, and this number has been verified by many parties to ensure that there will not be too much difference between the top and bottom.

In other words, in this battle, Li Yang's army directly suffered two-thirds of the troops, which is no longer a big defeat that can be described, and it is almost a collapse.

Of course, this is looking at the casualty ratio, after all, Li Yangjun's soldier base is relatively large, even if there is only one-third left, there is still an army of nearly 600,000.

Even so, this also made Xuanyuan Honglie feel proud.

This is also natural, because as long as Li Yang is annihilated, then the north and the Central Plains will be completely under his hands, and his power will be multiplied.

At the same time, in order to show that he was strong enough, and in order to deter other princes, he also announced the number of Li Yang's soldiers killed and wounded.

When they heard the news, the other princes were shocked again.

At the same time, many princes also had different ideas in their hearts.

…………

The seat of Taiyuan County is Jinyang, and it is also the seat of the entire state.

Originally, when Ding Yuan was in charge of the state, Jinyang was also the main city, so the city walls were tall, and the interior was also prosperous.

Because of this, after Zhang Hua took the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to fight here, he also settled here.

Now this city wall is heavily defended, full of Yellow Turban Army, no, it should be the Yellow Turban Battalion!

No matter how Zhang Hua fooled Dong Zhuo and how he was not treated by other princes, he is now a military force officially recognized by the Han Dynasty.

In the center of Jinyang City, in the huge lord's mansion, a group of civil and military generals were nervously discussing something.

"Lord, you can't delay any longer!" A short and fat figure walked out of the crowd, bowed to the person sitting in the first place, and said: "Now that Xuanyuan Honglie has invaded Yanzhou, if we wait until he completely destroys Li Yang, then we will also be like meat on the board, and become Xuanyuan Honglie's next target!" ”

"Master Kun is right, our army is now surrounded by enemies on all sides, among which Xuanyuan is the most powerful, although we and Li Yang are also enemies, but if we sit back and watch Xuanyuan attack Li Yang, then Xuanyuan's strength will be even stronger, and our army will not turn over, and I hope that the lord will give an order."

Master Kun turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke.

This person is Zhang Yan, and his reputation here can be said to be second only to the one sitting in the first place, and it is expected that many people will definitely echo him.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, almost all the people in the hall stood up and said in unison.

"I hope the lord will give an order!"

The person sitting at the head glanced around at everyone, thought about the war information he had just learned, and slapped the table in front of him.

"What you say is also my will, herald!" He stood up abruptly and said in a loud voice: "The whole army is assembled, and I will lead you to get out of the Huguan Pass and conquer Xuanyuan!" ”

"No!"

Then there was a discussion of strategic deployment, but this meeting came and went quickly, when the person sitting in the first place, that is, the advocate of the state, announced that after the meeting, the people in the meeting came out quickly, and they also had to prepare and follow Zhang Hua to Xuanyuan.

And a short and fat figure, but he fell behind everyone, and moved out of the conference hall step by step with a sluggish pace.

This is the 'Master Kun' who took the lead in speaking before, that is, He Shen who was arranged by Li Yang to go undercover here, and Lord He.

As soon as our adults walked out of the council hall, they looked up at the sky with emotion.

To be honest, he still hasn't figured out what his true lord means.

You said that you let yourself come over as an undercover agent, and at first you didn't let yourself climb to a high place, and you made sure that you had to avoid Zhang Hua, which made your 'talent' nowhere to show.

Forget it, after all, my father-in-law may have other plans.

But just after he befriended a group of military generals and ministers of the state and rejected their recommendation to Zhang Hua, his lord suddenly sent a letter, asking him to gain Zhang Hua's trust as quickly as possible, and tricking him into attacking Xuanyuan Honglie.

Don't you say it's a trouble, even if you're a horse puppeteer, uh! It's 'talented', and it can't be so fast under normal times!

Fortunately, he had already met and befriended many military generals and ministers, and they recommended them together, so that he could have a seat in the conference hall.

However, thinking of what happened in the conference hall today, He Shen felt a little painful.

"I knew that they already had this idea, why did they spend so much money on those generals and ministers, now that they are good, they can't come back."

He Shen shook his head with a sad face, and walked out, because he still had an important matter to do.

He Shen left the state governor's mansion and hurried back to his residence in a carriage, a tall restaurant.

This was originally the property of Moyi Building, and He Shen needed an identity to come here, so he was naturally arranged to be the shopkeeper of this restaurant.

To tell the truth, this restaurant is still very popular, and the daily income is also quite a lot, otherwise our and adults will have to use their own silver to spend some money these days, then he is afraid that it will be much more painful than now.

Of course, he has now regarded the input funds of this restaurant as his own funds.

After He Shen entered the restaurant, he went straight to the backyard, and here, there was a person waiting for him.

The identity of this person is a strategist sent by Cao Cao to Jinyang to negotiate with Zhang Hua, named Cheng Yu.

On the first day Cheng Yu came to Jinyang, our Lord He found him through Moyi Building.

The identity He Shen used here in Cheng Yu is still the shopkeeper of the restaurant, but he is the shopkeeper of another large restaurant in Luoyang.

According to his disguised identity, he is the actual ruler of a chain of hotels, and nothing else, but money.

Of course, it is also because he has money, so he urgently needs the protection of a strong man, and it is obvious that Cao Cao, who has defeated Zhang Hua, is more suitable, so he found Cheng Yu and wanted him to help introduce him.

As a top wise man, Cheng Yu naturally wouldn't believe Heshen's nonsense, but he wouldn't turn it away, after all, even if he found out a little information, it would be helpful to his lord.

So, they hooked up on this side.

This restaurant is guarded by the people of Moyi Building, and the safety naturally makes He Shen quite assured, so every secret meeting between the two is carried out here, of course, Cheng Yu must have to enter through a secret passage.

This secret meeting was proposed by He Shen on his own initiative, and the purpose was to report to Cheng Yu the major results he had achieved in the meeting just now, so as to achieve his own merits in Cao Cao.
