Zhao Xing, with 3,000 cavalry, rushed headlong into Kunlun without hesitation, and he was determined to have a guerrilla war with the Hu cavalry here.

Hua Taishou, who was originally born in the shadows, changed his outfit as quickly as possible, changed his appearance, and then risked his life to approach the direction of Yumen Pass.

Liu Jili, who can't fight and can only settle accounts, dragged Xiao Ziwei's head and ran wildly in the direction of Gaoping without looking back.

It seems that the powerful Jin State, when the military and civilians were full of confidence in the journey to the west, did not want to usher in such a heavy blow. In the next step, whether Zhao Xing should make a revenge trip for the Western Expeditionary Army, or block the Yumen Pass with lingering fears, everything is still unknown.

But one thing is very clear, that is, this western expedition has exhausted the surplus in the treasury of the Jin State, and in the next three or five years, Zhao Xing will no longer have the strength to launch a large-scale offensive against the surrounding forces, and even the Northeast Operation, which is already in full swing, will be postponed because of this change.

The first to learn about the drastic changes in Yumen was Wuwei Taishou Fang Yue, this veteran soldier who was transferred to Wuwei from Jincheng Taishou last year, heard from Liu Jili, who was passing by, that the Western Expedition army was completely wiped out, and when Zhao Taifu was now only 3,000 cavalry guards left, there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't cry. Fang Yue didn't say a word, and immediately ordered someone to issue an alert for martial law in the whole county, and then urgently mobilized thousands of reserve troops in the county, and was the first to lead the army to rush to the direction of Yumen Pass.

By the time Guan Yu and Jia Xu, who were sitting in Gaoping, learned about the drastic changes in Yumen from Liu Jili, who had almost lost their human form, a full ten days had passed. There is no way, from Yumen Pass to Gaoping City, even if you take the nearest road, there are nearly 2,000 miles away, Liu Jili changed horses and ran wildly without changing people, and then he arrived in Gaoping. As for Zhang Ziwei, who was weak, she had already been abandoned by him in Guzang City, otherwise she would have to run to death.

In fact, Guan Yu and Jia Xu had already learned of the major changes in Wuwei three days before Liu Jili arrived. Because the Shadow Team had already learned this important news from Liu Jili when he arrived in Shatou City in Jiuquan County, and passed it on to Gao Ping as quickly as possible.

The speed of the shadow is naturally not comparable to Liu Jili. And the reason why Guan Yu and Jia Xu haven't taken action so far is because they really have no soldiers in their hands!

The entire Xiliang Legion was originally the most powerful of the six legions, because there were three armies of 90,000 people, two of which were elite cavalry. But now that the blue wolf and the second army of Xiliang have gone to the Western Regions, there are only 40,000 vanguard troops stationed in the territory of Liangguo. The defenders of Wudu had 15,000 men, and another 10,000 infantry had been assembled around Gaoping, and the remaining 15,000 men were almost stationed in the remaining seven or eight counties of Liangguo.

Such a force could only barely ensure the internal stability of the Liang Kingdom, and if a certain part was withdrawn, it would immediately expose the empty door, giving Sima Yi stationed in Hanzhong and Huangfu Song in Chang'an an an opportunity to take advantage of.

After repeated deliberations, Guan Yu and Jia Xu still decided not to mobilize a single soldier of the vanguard army. They first sent an urgent report to Xu Huang and Li Jinsi and others who were sitting in the direction of Crouching Tiger City, asking them to find a way to transfer troops from the eastern front battlefield to backfill the defense of the Jin State, and then urgently transfer the 35,000 Dingyuan Army from the Jin State (10,000 Han cavalry divisions escorted Zhao Xing to Yumen Pass, and finally left 5,000 to protect military supplies) to the Western Front battlefield to go to Kunlun to rescue or respond to Zhao Xing.

At the same time, Guan Yu urgently launched a conscription operation in Liangguo, and all the 30,000 reserve troops normally retained in each county were converted into official service, and then 40,000 new recruits were re-recruited as reserves.

The 30,000 reserve troops temporarily converted into the regular army, led by Zhou Cang, the head of the Gaoping Training Corps, were personally organized and assembled while rushing from the counties in the direction of Wuwei. According to the difference in the speed of the infantry and cavalry, when Zhou Cang led the army to Xiaogu, the Dingyuan army led by Hu Che'er should also arrive from the rear at the same time.

Now the only thing Guan Yu and Jia Xu can do is to pray for God's blessing, Zhao Xing, who has always been lucky, must not make any mistakes, in case he is caught by the Hu people, it will really be a bunker......

Because she was left in Guzang City by Liu Jili, Sister Ziwei, who had turned her grief into strength, wiped away her tears, and wanted to do something for the soldiers who died in the Western Expeditionary Army and for Lord Taifu who was still fighting bloodily. And she was somewhat helpless to find that she could not hold any tools that could be used to fight except for the pen in her hand.

Therefore, Miss Ziwei, an intern reporter of "Jin Daily", finally completed the first report in her career in the context of war and chaos - "Die before leaving the school, and make the hero cry!" Because Zhang Ziwei happened to be by Zhao Xing's side at the time, she witnessed the whole process of Zhao Xing from caring about her own family affairs, to vomiting blood and coma, and then to standing up in danger, so all that flowed out of her pen was real emotions and vivid details, so that many years later, her war report was "Jin Bao" The editorial office serves as a model for educating and inspiring trainee journalists.

However, before receiving these honors, the first thing the Ziwei reporter received for this report was not praise, but a very urgent supervision and gag order.

When You Heng, who was in Crouching Tiger City, saw Ziwei's signed report from the Xiliang branch of "Jin Daily", his first reaction was to quickly run to Li Jinsi to admit his mistake. He said that he really shouldn't have sent such a yellow-haired girl to the front line, so that he didn't even care about the political rules of news reporting, and stupidly published such a report that was enough to disturb the situation of the Han Dynasty.

Since ancient times, good things have not gone out, and evil things have gone a thousand miles. The news that "the Western Expeditionary Army of the Jin Kingdom was defeated and destroyed, the allied forces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions conquered Yumen Pass, and Zhao Xing was trapped in Kunlun and his life and death were unknown", like the most violent wind, spread from the northwest to all corners of the Han Dynasty at the fastest speed.

Along with this astonishing news, there were also obvious changes in the Jin army in various states. Xiong Zhen's army, which was originally stationed in Youbeiping County, urgently retreated back hundreds of miles, directly replacing the Yaoxing Cavalry Division to be responsible for the safety of the entire territory of Youzhou, while the Yaoxing Cavalry Division urgently moved westward.

The Black Mountain Army, which was originally stationed in the north of Yecheng, suddenly disappeared without a trace overnight, and I don't know where to retreat.

The Flying Tiger Army, which was showing off its might in the land of Qingzhou, suddenly broke away from the sight of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, and urgently withdrew to the port of the sailor in Le'an.

The dragoons, who were originally playing cat and mouse games around Zhang Xun and Ji Ling, urgently withdrew to the direction of the East China Sea after destroying the two remnants of Yuan Shu with the power of thunder.

At the same time, the Jin State urgently issued a new issue of treasury bonds totaling 10 million taels of silver, but unfortunately there were few people willing to buy it except for the people of the Jin State who continued to be fanatical.

The northern country, which had begun to melt with ice and snow, seemed to have become even colder because of this unexpected upheaval......
