Outside the plough.

Next to Bosten Lake.

The large army of the Western Regions Alliance Army is stationed here, soldiers from Wusun and Kangju, including other small countries in the Western Regions, are gathered here, the camp area of the 400,000 army is very large, the military flag flutters in the wind, the momentum is vast, it is very spectacular.

On the Wusun side, the title of their king is not called just these, but called Kunmo, and the current great Kunmo is called Gui Sumi, who personally led the army to the battle, led more than 100,000 Wusun troops, and came here to station.

Kangju is one of the three great powers in Central Asia, and the other two are the Dayue clan of the Anxi and Kushan dynasties, and Kangju also sent more than 100,000 troops to come here under the leadership of their king Gesuo.

The attack on the Han was provoked by the Taiping Dao, and the two who led the troops were Gui Sumi and Gesuo.

There are other small countries in the Western Regions, which are basically led by the king to recruit in person.

Just now they got the news that some Han cavalry went deep into the Western Regions to inquire about the situation, and they sent two groups of people to probe, the first batch of hundreds of people were killed in the blink of an eye, and the second group had as many as 10,000 people.

At this time, the 10,000 people also returned.

Lost more than 2,000 and finally let the Han cavalry escape.

"The strength of the Han cavalry is not much worse than ours."

When Soge got the final result, he said worriedly: "We basically grew up on horseback, but we can't beat those Han people who are not good at fighting on horseback and only know how to fight on foot. ”

They are far away from the Han and have a stereotype of the Han people.

That is the Han region, the life is rich, there is no need to be like them, hard to herd horses and sheep, equestrian skills should be very poor, but today's confrontation is beyond their expectations.

Gui Xu said in a deep voice: "The Han people are not as weak as we think, but we should speed up and fight towards Liangzhou, since the Han people have discovered us, we must be on guard, and we must enter the Yumen Pass as soon as possible before they take precautions." ”

"I just don't know what Zhang Tianshi thinks."

Thorge said.

As soon as these words fell, Zhang Tianshi, who was in their mouths, came out of the tent next to him, it was Zhang Min, who re-entered the Taiping Dao, preached in the western region, and mixed up the title of Heavenly Master.

"Zhang Tianshi!"

Soge and Gui Su met, and bowed with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, which was quite respectful.

Zhang Min led the people of Taiping Dao to follow the Western Regions coalition army, and used the people of the Western Regions to stop Yang Zhao's in-depth penetration into the West.

In these areas, the Taiping Dao won the hearts of the people, and also replaced the original religion, and the influence was great.

Even Zhang Min can order the two of them to do a lot of things that can be done and start a war, it is easy.

"You can send troops to Liangzhou and attack Yumen Pass."

Zhang Min said: "Although you send troops, I am in Liangzhou, and there are other arrangements, the Qiang and Yueshi people on the border of Liangzhou are also our people, and they will help us enter Liangzhou, and I will send someone to contact the Qiang people later." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them got the order and hurriedly went to arrange, gathered the army, and advanced to Liangzhou, and wanted to enter Liangzhou and occupy the rich land of the Han Dynasty.

——

Yang Feng finally returned to Luoyang, did not stop, went directly to Yang Zhao, and explained the situation in the West and the Western Regions in detail.

The situation in the West is basically like this, except for artillery, Yang Feng can't find anything else, but the situation in the Western Regions is more serious, Wusun and Kangju form a coalition army in the Western Regions, and they have the intention of attacking Liangzhou.

"Before I came back, I had already told Ma Mengqi that they would be stationed at Yumen Pass."

"However, there are as many as 400,000 troops in the Western Regions, and Meng Qi may not be able to hold them at Yumen Pass, according to the time, the Western Regions Alliance Army should come outside Yumen Pass, and they are almost fighting with Meng Qi."

Yang Feng said these eagerly.

Yang Zhao sighed: "I didn't expect that the battle in the Western Regions would still be fought. ”

Yang Feng analyzed: "It should be a means of Taiping Dao, they don't want the lord to go west, so they will create this turmoil for the lord and delay the lord's westward advance." ”

"It's possible!"

Yang Zhao agreed with this reason, and said: "Boyang has come back from a long distance, let's go and rest first!" Next, let Shi Ah arrange for the shadow to enter the Western Regions, and I will give you a few days off to relax. ”

Yang Feng smiled: "Then I'm welcome, thank you lord." ”

When he had said that, he took his leave.

"The order will go down, and half of the garrisons will be drawn from Hetao, Bingzhou, Yongzhou and Jizhou, and the garrisons of Bingzhou and Jizhou will gather in Luoyang, and the Hetao and Yongzhou will gather in Chang'an, and then join me."

Yang Zhao passed the order.

Within the scope of Sizhou, half of the garrison was also withdrawn.

The rest were led by Tai Shici and guarded the passes in various parts of Sizhou to prevent Cao Cao from raiding Luoyang when he attacked the Western Regions.

However, the current Cao Cao should be in a stalemate with Liu Bei, and he does not dare to break the balance with Yang Zhao for the time being, Liu Bei's thoughts are probably the same, and Pang Tong should not dare to enter the Guanzhong from Hanzhong.

At present, there are only Liu Bei and Cao Cao who are threatening Yang Zhao.

After the order was handed down, the soldiers from all over the country quickly assembled and converged in the two directions of Luoyang and Chang'an.

The Western Regions Coalition Army has as many as 400,000.

Yang Zhao gathered almost 150,000 people, plus there were 50,000 people in Liangzhou, with less than half of the troops, to resist the attack of the Western Regions, and even counterattack, confident that there was no problem, if he wanted to mobilize 400,000 people to the west, he could also transfer it.

However, in doing so, the defensive forces of the various passes will be greatly weakened, and I am afraid that others will take the opportunity to break in, and the stability of the rear cannot be ignored.

After retreating from Liangzhou last year, Yang Zhao was on guard against the Western Regions, anticipating that he would fight this battle, and the grain and grass were well prepared, and he waited until the soldiers were assembled, waited for about half a month, and then set off to Chang'an to meet Zhong Xuan.

The soldiers of Hetao and Yongzhou were assembled in Chang'an, and Zhong Xuan was in charge of temporary management.

After Yang Zhao came to Chang'an, the two armies met and went straight to Liangzhou.

At this time, they have already gotten the news that Ma Chao has sent back continuously, the Yumen Pass is in an emergency, and the people of the Western Regions are attacking and fighting!

"Zilong, Guorang."

Yang Zhao ordered: "You lead the cavalry, go to support Meng Qi first." ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun and Tian Yu said at the same time.

At this time, the light and heavy cavalry grew to 15,000 people.

After receiving the order, the 30,000 cavalry first left the army and rushed to the northwest, walking eagerly.

Yang Zhao led the remaining 120,000 people to speed up the way, but the speed of the more than 100,000 troops was limited, and he hoped that Zhao Yun and they could support Ma Chao in time and hold the Yumen Pass.

Liangzhou can't be lost!

——

The jade door shut.

The trumpets sounded again and again, and the war drums thundered.

There is also gunsmoke, which permeates outside the customs, and the smoke after the explosion of explosives, mixed with the smell of blood, drifts away with the wind.

Ten days ago, the Western Regions Alliance Army came to the outside of Yumen Pass and launched several strong attacks, Ma Chao relied on 50,000 people, and held on with difficulty, and also lost a lot of soldiers.

Yang Zhao had already sent artillery, explosives and other firearms to the pass, more than 20 artillery pieces, 10 mortars, set up on the Yumen Pass Tower, they beat the barrels of the cannons to the hot, in order to suppress the attack of the Western Regions Alliance.

With the retreat of the Western Regions Alliance, Ma Chao and them were finally able to rest.
