Yang Zhao wanted to get Xun Yu, but he thought about it for a long time.

However, the other party has always been by Cao Cao's side, and he is loyal to Cao Cao, so he can't win him over, and he has only met Xun Yu once or twice before, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to cultivate a relationship.

Now Xun Chen said that he could find a way to let Xun Yu come to Luoyang.

As long as Xun Yu can come to Luoyang, Yang Zhao will have the confidence to stay Xun Yu in Luoyang and never want to return to Xudu.

With Xun Wenruo's assistance, he believes that he can go to a new level.

"Youruo can really let Wen Ruo come?"

Guo Jia is also looking forward to it.

Back then, in Yingchuan Academy, the relationship between them was very good, and later they went out and took refuge in different lords, the connection was no longer close, and the relationship was weak, and they hadn't met Xun Yu and Xizhong for a long time.

Guo Jia misses the friendship of the past.

If Xun Yu can be brought over, it would be the best, otherwise they will become enemies if they fight Cao Cao in the future.

Xun Chen said: "I can only say give it a try, I dare not guarantee that I can." ”

Yang Zhao could understand and said, "Then give it a try, as long as you can let Wen Ruo come to Luoyang." ”

"With the character of the fifth uncle, it's actually still difficult."

Xun You said.

Whether Xun Yu comes to Luoyang or not, he can't be let be Cao Cao. Forced to death, no matter how difficult it is, you have to give it a try.

Yang Zhao handed over this important task to Xun Chen.

——

Yumen Pass, located in Dunhuang, Liangzhou.

It was first placed when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the road to the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty was the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions.

Yumen Pass is connected with Beishan in the north and Qilian Mountain in the south, which is an important passage for east-west traffic.

After the beginning of spring, on the east and west sides of Yumen Pass, the ice and snow melted quickly, but the cold wind from the north was still a little cold, blowing the Gobi and desert outside the pass, and a small grassland.

Ma Chao's brothers, as well as Pang De, were arranged by Yang Zhao to guard Liangzhou.

As for Ma Teng, he is also a hostage of Yang Zhao in Luoyang, but Ma Chao is convinced by Yang Zhao, even if there is no hostage, he will not do anything special.

Just a few days ago, Yang Feng returned from the Western Regions and brought Ma Dai the news that Wusun and Kangju had invaded the Western Regions and recovered more than a dozen small countries in the Western Regions.

These two countries in the west, after annexing the small countries in the Western Regions, continue to recruit troops in the Western Regions, and now there are about 400,000 troops, in the Western Regions, there is a meaning to go east, according to Yang Feng's inquiry, behind the troops of Wusun and Kangju, it seems that Taiping Dao is arranging.

After Yang Feng gave the news to Ma Dai, he hurried back to Luoyang, preparing to report the situation to Yang Zhao.

Ma Dai sent scouts to the Western Regions to investigate deeply, and sure enough, he could find that a large number of Western Regions troops were stationed near Bosten Lake on the edge of Yuli, but they had not yet approached Liangzhou directly.

Probably the people from the Western Regions are still preparing grain, grass and other materials.

Ma Dai hurriedly asked someone to tell Ma Chao.

At this time, the Ma brothers all came to Yumen Pass.

"How's it going?"

Ma Chao asked.

Ma Dai said: "To be sure, Yang Boyang is right, the combined army of Wusun and Kangju has been stationed near Yuli, according to the news of our scouts, a large number of grain and grass are gathering in the Yuli camp, and in half a month, it will probably come to Yumen Pass." ”

Ma Tie said: "Those people from the Western Regions really won't settle down, when the lord withdrew from Liangzhou last year, he predicted that they would come over, and that's right." ”

Pound asked, "Meng Qi, how do we deal with it?" ”

Ma Chao thought about it for a long time and said: "We will also send the news back to the lord, and then gather our five thousand cavalry, and Ling Ming you will go to the Western Regions with me to see the reality of the enemy's coalition army, how about it?" ”

Pound nodded, "No problem!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Then arrange it like this, prepare enough dry food and crossbows, and prepare to go!" ”

The cavalry units under Yang Zhao, the most elite, are the Xuanjia elite cavalry and the heavy cavalry, in addition to these two cavalry units, of course, there are other cavalry, basically all states will have them below.

In Liangzhou, there were more cavalry.

After all, there is no shortage of war horses here, and if there is a shortage, you can rob the people of the Western Regions and the Xianbei people.

In addition, the trade between Xianbei and the Han has been going on, and there are also many war horses that have been exchanged for the Han, and Yang Zhao is not short of horses.

Ma Chao was not ambiguous, and after determining the plan, he led 5,000 cavalry to set off on the same day, and asked Ma Xiu and them to guard the Yumen Pass and prepare to respond.

Five thousand cavalry rushed into the Western Regions.

Ma Chao's skills on horseback were already very exquisite, and with the assistance of stirrups and saddles, they could be very fast, and they passed through the eastern end of the Kuruktag Mountains and quickly penetrated deep into the Western Regions.

However, when they came to the south of the Che Division, about a day's journey from Yuli, they found scouts sent by the coalition army.

The scouts also spotted them.

"Kill!"

Ma Chao said in a loud voice.

Pound rode out, stabbed the scout under the horse with a single shot, and went back and said: "We have been discovered by the enemy scouts, and if we let him go back, we will be exposed, and if he can't go back, he will be exposed sooner or later." ”

Ma Chao pointed to the mountain range to the south and said, "Let's go over there first, hide and see how the enemy moves." ”

Pound thinks it's possible.

They changed direction and headed south first.

Generally speaking, every scout sent out, within a certain period of time, must go back to report how the situation is, and at the same time, it is also necessary to count and record whether the number of scouts has decreased.

The loss of one of the scouts, or the inability of any of them to report back, is easy to spot.

Pound's initial concern was precisely that.

They came to the mountains to the south and waited for about a day.

The sound of horses' hooves came from the west.

"Go check it out!"

Ma Chao took twenty people and walked out of the mountains, but did not appear immediately, hiding in the woods and looking out.

Although the woods here are not very dense, and there are not many leaves, even bare, they can hide in them, and after a while, I saw hundreds of horses walking this way outside.

"Sure enough, it's looking for the scout."

Pound said.

The scout's corpse had long been disposed of by them, probably fed to the wolves.

However, the blood stains were still on the ground, and they soon found that according to other traces, they searched everywhere, and the horseshoe prints of Ma Chao were not so easily covered by the wind and sand.

Hundreds of enemy cavalry soon approached the mountains where they were hiding.

"Do it!"

Ma Chao's eyes were cold, and he ordered: "Solve that group of enemies, catch two more people and come back to ask, and see what those people in Wusun want to do." ”

Pound chimed in: "Fight!" ”

They immediately went back and gathered their cavalry, and together they rushed out of the mountains and slaughtered the hundreds.

Hundreds of Western cavalry, just in time to see five thousand Han cavalry, rushed out of the mountain in front, they were stunned for a moment on the spot, turned around and were about to run away......
