Chapter 45 East to the Han Valley
As a general, Zhang Ji is extremely determined, and after making up his mind, he naturally will not hesitate, and immediately makes a decision, dispatches Zhang Xiu to gather his cronies, introduces Guo Longzhen to his subordinates, and appoints Guo Longzhen as his deputy general.

Seeing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy climb on his head, these fierce generals under Zhang Ji were naturally very dissatisfied, but when Guo Longzhen flicked his fingers, a wind and thunder burst out, and he lightly knocked a captain who came to provoke him away, and everyone was honest.
This is a first-class general, you can kill them easily, who dares to disagree?
"I didn't expect General Guo to become Zhang Ji's lieutenant, it's unbelievable!" Huang Fuli exclaimed. Receiving the news from Guo Longzhen, several people were stunned.
"That's a good thing, because we have a better chance of success!" Liu Fan laughs.
Huangfu Song also calmed down the shaking mind, his eyes kept trembling, he could finally get rid of the control of the Xiliang army, as long as he left Chang'an and returned to Kanto, the Son of Heaven cheered up, and the Han still had the hope of Zhongxing.
"If you really arrive in Luoyang, why not give the demon book to Guo Ying!" said Huangfu Song.
In the evening, Zhang Xiu took 500 soldiers to the city wall, on the city wall Li Meng and Wang Fang were meticulously inspecting, and when they saw Zhang Xiu coming, they hurriedly greeted them.
This is the nephew of the hussar general Zhang Ji, and they can't afford to be neglected.
"General Zhang, it's not time to change the guard yet, why did you come over?" Li Meng said with a smile, showing great enthusiasm. Wang Fang on the side also squeezed out a smile.
Zhang Xiu laughed dryly, "The two generals have worked hard today, and my uncle specially sent me to replace the two, so that you can go back and rest well, and the city wall will be guarded by me." ”
Li Meng and Wang Fang glanced at each other, Wang Fang said in his heart, the two of them are now Guo Yan's subordinates, and they have nothing to do with Zhang Ji, could it be that Zhang Ji saw Guo Yan send troops and took the opportunity to win them over?
Just when the two of them hesitated, five hundred soldiers had unknowingly climbed the city wall, faintly separating the two from the soldiers under him, and Li Meng suddenly felt a feeling of palpitations.
His eyes swept over Zhang Xiu's face, and he noticed the killing intent hidden by the other party's smile, and he chuckled in his heart, secretly saying that it was not good, and his steps quietly took two steps back.
Zhang Xiu was not very experienced, and he didn't know that Li Meng had vaguely sensed his thoughts, and when he saw that all his subordinates had climbed the city wall, he suddenly changed his face, drew the long sword at his waist, snorted, and pierced Wang Fang's chest.
Wang Fang's strength was far inferior to Zhang Xiu, he was caught off guard and was killed by a sword, just as Zhang Xiu was about to kill Li Meng, he found that he had already run to the edge of the city wall, and hurriedly roared and flew up. "Li Mengxiu is leaving!"
Li Meng shouted: "Zhang Xiu'er, your uncle and nephew want to swallow our soldiers and horses, it's just delusional! I'm going to report to General Guo Yan and ask him to break you two into pieces!"
Immediately, without waiting for Zhang Xiu to fly, he jumped down from the tall Chang'an city wall, and fell to the ground with a thud, the powerful impact force made him break a few bones, but the crisis of life and death stimulated his potential, and he quickly got up and disappeared into the dusk, and ran to the west.
Zhang Xiu couldn't catch up, and immediately realized that something was wrong, Li Dao and Guo Yan's army was a hundred miles away, and they hadn't fought with Ma Teng yet, and it would take some time to exterminate Li Meng's and Wang Fang's subordinates, if Guo Yan turned around and struck at this time, Chang'an City was very likely to be unable to defend.
He couldn't blame Guo Longzhen for coming up with the idea, after all, he said that he would wait for Li Dao and Ma Teng to fight before making a move, who knew that his uncle was so eager, he also just thought of this, and couldn't help but be annoyed. The cavalry could only be sent out of the city to pursue, hoping to intercept Li Meng.
After Zhang Ji got the news, it was already an hour later, and he hurriedly asked other subordinates to take in the people of Li Meng's royal side, and came to the city wall with Guo Longzhen, at this time his face was very ugly, but when Zhang Xiu came to confess with a ashamed face, he couldn't punish his nephew, so he could only press his angry thoughts.
"If you let Guo Yan know the situation here, you will definitely lead the army back, we haven't finished integrating Li Meng and Wang Fang's men and horses yet, I'm afraid it's not Guo Yan's opponent, Guo Gongzi, I don't know if you have any other way to deal with Guo Yan?" Zhang Ji turned his head to look at Guo Longzhen, hoping that he could come up with a way.
Guo Longzhen smiled bitterly: "General Zhang, you think too highly of me, Guo Yan has an army of fifty or sixty thousand, even Wen Hou is difficult to resist, we are not prepared, it is impossible to block Guo Yan's attack!"
Zhang Ji sighed, he didn't expect that Guo Long really intended to mislead him, but felt that he was too impatient, "Could it be that we can only defend the city now?"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Guo Longzhen pretended to mutter: "In fact, we have another choice, which is to hijack the Son of Heaven and the Hundred Officials and Ministers to leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang.
Guo Longzhen's words have a lot of loopholes, as long as he is a wise and resourceful person who calmly scrutinizes, he can know what his idea is, but Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are both very orthodox generals, and it is okay to lead troops to fight, but they are not very proficient in conspiracy and calculation, Guo Longzhen wants to use their hands to rescue the Son of Heaven and return to Luoyang, and they don't notice it at all, but think that Guo Longzhen is thinking about them wholeheartedly, and they are moved, and Zhang Ji is also excited about the prospect he said.
"I don't dare to think about it, as long as the Son of Heaven doesn't blame me for my previous rudeness!" Zhang Ji laughed, subconsciously accepted Guo Longzhen's opinion, thinking about the scene of escorting the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang to have the same rights as Dong Zhuo before, his heart was itching, and he couldn't wait to set off immediately.
At this time, the cavalry that had just gone out of the city to pursue Li Meng returned and brought back bad news, Li Meng grabbed a horse and galloped wildly, got rid of the pursuing cavalry, and was about to catch up with Guo Yan's army.
"Uncle, without further ado, hurry up and collect the grain and grass, and try to take away all the grain and grass in Chang'an City, and you can't leave it to the two traitors!" Zhang Xiu hurriedly said.
The army did not move the grain and grass first, and the grain and grass consumed by the more than 100,000 troops of the Xiliang soldiers every day was very terrifying, and the grain and grass had gradually run out these days, otherwise the Xiliang soldiers would not have looted unscrupulously in Chang'an City.
Zhang Ji also knew that time was running out, so he hurriedly sent troops to the palace, preparing to hold the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials hostage, Guo Longzhen saw this situation, and quietly sent a letter to Zhang Liao, asking him to inform Huangfu Song, everything was expected.
Half a day later, the gate of Chang'an was opened, the black pressure of the Xiliang cavalry poured out of the city gate, Zhang Ji rode in the front, he turned his head to look at the gate of Chang'an, and then no longer nostalgic, led the army to the east.
Ahead, is Hangu Pass.
Guo Longzhen followed behind Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu escorted Mrs. Zhang's carriage left and right, the carriage rolled away, and Mrs. Zhang in the car did not expect that she had just rushed to Chang'an from Hongnong to reunite with her husband, and in a few days, she would leave Chang'an again.
"General, Guo Yan's army has turned back, and now it has rushed to the vicinity of Chang'an!" a scout rushed over and came to Zhang Ji to report.
"So fast! What about Li Dao? Did he lead the army back with Guo Yan?" Zhang Ji's face changed, he knew the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Li Dao and Guo Yan, if Li Dao also led the army to come, then he could only abandon all the heavy grain and grass, and rushed to Hangu Pass with the Son of Heaven, relying on Xiongguan to resist.
"Li Ji has already led his army to Changling Xiazhai! There are only 50,000 troops of Guo Yan!" The scout's words made Zhang Ji breathe a sigh of relief.
"Guo Gongzi, you take the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials to continue to move forward, I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to break off, otherwise, with Guo Yan's cavalry speed, I will soon be able to catch up!"
Zhang Ji saw the car of the Son of Heaven not far ahead, and he had a headache, he didn't expect Guo Yan's cavalry to come so fast, and the frame speed of the Son of Heaven and Baiguan was slow, which slowed down the marching speed of the cavalry under his command.
If he didn't care about them, Zhang Ji would have led the cavalry to Hangu Pass a long time ago, but he finally hijacked the Son of Heaven and came out, who could so simply throw the Son of Heaven back to Li Dao Guo Yan. (To be continued.) )
