Zhao Xing walked aimlessly with five thousand cavalry. He always refused to approach the Yumen Pass, but turned around outside the pass, as if he was still waiting for someone to come.

Cai Yan, who accompanied him, was a little difficult to understand this way of marching like a donkey, so he asked Zhao Xing: "Husband, now we have been looking at the scenery outside this pass for many days, and when we open our eyes every day, it is yellow, don't you feel a little tired?"

Zhao Xing was stunned when he heard Sister Cai's words, and then said: "It's not boring, who said last night that the days of 'the sky should be quilted and the ground is a bed' are very long?"

Cai Yan's face turned red when Zhao Xing said this, and he gouged out Zhao Xing's eyes a few times, and stopped talking angrily.

After wandering outside the Yumen Pass for a few days, Hua Weiguo, who pretended to be a personal soldier, came to report: "General Ma Dai has successfully escorted all the craftsmen to Yuanqu City, and the batch of materials has been transported without any damage, and there is no movement in Wusun Kingdom, which is a hundred miles northwest of Yanqi Kingdom. Commander Ma Chao has already led the team back, and it is said that he has touched the situation further west. He said that once Commander Zhou led his army to arrive in Yanqi Kingdom, he would immediately adjust his deployment and send 50,000 troops to listen to Lord Taifu's dispatch!"

After listening to Hua Weiguo's report, Zhao Xing nodded, and then said, "I have to work hard for you again." I estimate that the governor of Guan Du will soon lead the 40,000 new troops sent from the direction of Bingzhou to Dunhuang, and you should go to meet him now, and don't let outsiders see the flaws. As long as these 40,000 new troops arrive in Yanqi Kingdom, we can rest assured that we will enter the customs and carry out the next step. ”

Hua Weiguo received the order and immediately marched eastward, preparing to intercept Guan Yu in the Yumen Pass, and then led the army to join Zhao Xing.

A few days passed, and Zhou Cang led 30,000 Kunlun troops to Yanqi. Ma Chao, who had already been ready, immediately led 20,000 Xiliang cavalry and 30,000 Yanqi cavalry to leave Yuanqu City and march quickly towards Zhao Xing's cruising position. Tian Yu led 10,000 Xiliang cavalry, still staying in Yuanqu City, in case the Wusun Kingdom, which was not far away, might suddenly launch a retaliatory attack on the Yanqi Kingdom.

Hua Weiguo was also fortunate not to be dishonored, and met Guan Yu who was leading the army in the area of Xiaogu. As Zhao Xing said, Guan Yu really rushed over with 40,000 new troops assembled and mobilized from the direction of the Jin Kingdom. Xu Huang was responsible for bringing the 40,000 new troops to Gaoping, and then Guan Yu took over and continued westward, hurrying all the way to Dunhuang County.

Guan Yu left Gaoping City, who will sit in Liangguo? The answer is Jia Xu and Zhang He.

Many people have forgotten Zhang He's ability to defend the Taocheng at the beginning, but Zhao Xing will not forget. With Zhang He's ability, he is now competent enough to serve as the commander of the vanguard army, and even if he serves as the commander of the Liangzhou Legion in the next step, it will not be a problem. If Huangfu Song in the direction of Chang'an and Sima Yi in the direction of Hanzhong thought that Zhang He was a soft persimmon, they would definitely break a few teeth at that time.

The false news that Zhou Cang led 30,000 new troops out of the customs to fight and the annihilation of the whole army has now spread and is known to the whole world. It is reasonable that Jin Guo should also send a heavyweight general to Yumen Pass, so Guan Yu naturally became this candidate.

Guan Yu already knew about the task to be undertaken when Zhao Xing passed through Gaoping and went to Dunhuang this time. At that time, when he first heard about Zhao Xing's grand plan, not only him, but even Jia Xu, who had always been calm, was a little surprised. According to ordinary people's thinking, when there were still many forces within the Han Dynasty, sending a large army to the west to conquer the countries of the Western Regions was already an act of burning bags, and Zhao Xing's plan was even crazier than this, he actually planned to use the Western Regions as his own backyard to operate.

Surprised to surprised, but Guan Yu and Jia Xu never doubted Zhao Xing's judgment. Facts have proven countless times that Zhao Xing's strategic vision is unmatched. Since Zhao Xing said with great certainty that the Western Regions could become a big granary and a big military station in the future, then there must be many fertile fields and many soldiers available for requisitioning in the Western Regions, and what he needs to do is to knock down such a chewy and good place for Zhao Xing!

Today's Guan clan has an increasingly prosperous status in the Jin Kingdom. Not only Guan Yu is the first of the six army commanders, but the eldest son Guan Ping was promoted to the high position of the commander of the Qinghuai Army at the age of a weak crown, and the second son Guan Jing, who was "fooling around" behind Zhao Zhenbang, also began to train in the army, but he was afraid that his future achievements would no longer be under Guan Ping. No wonder the people in Crouching Tiger City will say: The Guan family is a hero, and the father and son are generals.

Now that his sons have grown up, and the land of the Han Dynasty, which has given birth to countless heroes, is destined to belong to those who come after him, what else does Guan Yu have to worry about and reluctance? While the people are not old and the sword is still sharp, then he will do a great job in the Western Regions and lay a new land for future generations that has never been seen before, isn't this the greatest luck in life?

Under the secret leadership of Hua Weiguo, Guan Yu quickly led the army to cross the Yumen Pass, leaving Fang Yue, who was still kept in the dark, looking forward to the Metropolitan Governor's debut, this time to rescue the missing lord and the unlucky Zhou Cang.

The two brothers met forty miles outside the Yumen Pass, and Guan Yu said: "Guochang, after this battle, you must be ready to go back and be scolded! I heard the second brother send troops to Gaoping to mention that several brothers and daughters-in-law have now reduced a lot, especially Brother Hu's sister-in-law has forced Xu Huang to borrow troops all day long, saying that she wants to personally bring people to look for you!"

Zhao Xing touched his nose a little helplessly, and then said depressedly: "That's no way." There is the largest concentration of spies from all sides in Crouching Tiger City, if they are all like no one, how can we fool those smart people with this plan?"

Guan Yu was speechless, and felt that it was the same reason. If you don't let the old and young people in Crouching Tiger City be anxious, there is really no way to cover up this big lie.

Zhao Xing continued: "Big brother, when we go to the Western Regions to deal with the Fanbang countries there, we must adhere to the policy of 'grace and power', and for those who are willing to accept sinicization and agree to trade and intermarry with the Central Plains, we must give certain support and goodwill, and respect some of their national customs and habits; At present, we should pay special attention to the Wusun Kingdom in the northwest of Yanqi, which is a vast country, a large population, and a fierce people, with more than 100,000 people controlling the strings, and is our fierce enemy. ”

Guan Yu nodded and said: "I have memorized these matters that Guochang explained, after I go, I will first stabilize the situation, strengthen the defense of Yanqi State, and improve the combat effectiveness of the 70,000 new army before taking action against the surrounding small countries." By the way, I heard Hua Weiguo say that the 30,000 new troops in Liangzhou brought by Zhou Cang were named Kunlun Army, which is a well-known number, and now I have brought our old and new army in Bingzhou, you quickly take a loud number!"

"Let's call it the 'Pingxi Army', since it is our old and state troops, it will be the king of the 'Pingxi King' in the future, and everyone will know the meaning of this number in the future. Zhao Xing said.

Soon after joining Guan Yu, Ma Chao led 50,000 Hu and Han cavalry to arrive, and an army of nearly 100,000 gathered outside Yumen Pass at once, but they looked at each other, and then quickly separated.

After Guan Yu led the army to continue to leave west, Ma Chao ran over excitedly and asked Zhao Xing: "Old Zhao, where are we going next?"
