Wei Yantong led the soldiers and horses, marched carefully, and met all the people on the road who were held in the army and stole out of Keigu.

Yang Fu, the guard general of Yixian County, arranged a sentry post in Keigu and arranged some monitoring soldiers and horses, but most of them were on the surface, Wei Yan had investigated a seven, seven, eighty-eight for several years, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Jufu were surveyed in a net, and the sentry cards and horses of the Cao army were uprooted one by one, which greatly concealed the march of Wei Yan's soldiers and horses.

Wei Yan stuck the agreed time, calculated the time, no longer hidden, let go of the speed, and sent troops in a big way. Wei Yan ordered to abandon all the excess supplies and march strongly, regardless of the passes along the way, and went straight to Yixian.

Along the way in Guanzhong, there was no time for this army of soldiers and horses dressed in Cao's army to figure out the way to come. Wei Yan has arrived in Yixian, and the garrisons here are Yang Fu, who is the Taishou of the Yaoling Wudu, and Zhao Ang, who is the Yaoling Yizhou Thorn Shi, and the two are really surprised by Wei Yan's appearance.

Jufu had already taken the lead, led the scout team, brought horses, and blocked the news of various road blockades, and Yang Fu sent messengers out of the city to deliver the message, but they were all blocked.

Yang Fu knew that it was powerful, and immediately concentrated his forces to open the gap and cover the messenger out of the city. Wei Yan had already prepared and drove Yang Fu's messenger to the south, and the southern Jufu had already completed the dense blockade.

Yang Fu, who paid the price of 700 people, looked at the messenger who was far away, and retreated to Yixian. Wei Yan interrogated the captured Cao army and found out that two days earlier a Cao army of about 1,500 soldiers and horses had been heading for Chang'an, and they were heading for Chang'an along Weishui.

Wei Yan was overjoyed and discussed with Wang Ping: "This must be Gao Xiang's suspicious soldiers, I don't know if Gao Xiang has come out!" I will lead 4,000 troops, rush after this Cao army, pretend to support the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, and wait for the opportunity to move, you and Zhang Xiu and Li Shengka are here, don't let Yang Fu and them go out of the city. Wang Ping promised.

Wei Yan drew 4,000 elite soldiers and horses, marched along Weishui, brought dry food for three days, and plundered grain along the way, and the people complained.

Wei Yan claimed that he was Cao's army and that he was robbing grain to protect them, because Wei Yan had given a strict order that he was only allowed to take grain, not to hurt people or rob property, but no people lost their lives.

Wei Yan continued to march rapidly along the river, taking advantage of the fact that the news could not be completely dispersed, and fished in troubled waters. Wei Yanjin forced a ferry and heard that there were soldiers and horses.

Wei Yanxian sent people to lead 500 men, claiming that he was ordered to gallop to the aid of Chang'an, and was ready to rush along Weishui.

Cao Jiang, who was guarding the ferry, said: "No need! The danger of Chang'an is lifted, go back! ”

Han Jun said: "It's best not to rush, ask the general to give saliva to drink, we are in a hurry, we are tired and thirsty all the way!" ”

Cao Jiang thought it was reasonable to let them in. In the ferry, the soldiers and horses of Yixian County are returning, and they walk to the ferry to rest here.

Yin Feng, the leader of the general, saw this army and asked, "I received the order to return a day ago. The soldiers and horses of the county near Yixian County have almost been transferred, and this army of soldiers and horses should be the soldiers and horses of the county near Chang'an, why haven't you received an order at such a close distance? Why do you want to support Chang'an now? ”

General Cao said: "What do we care about so much!" They come in and ask for water, and when they're done, let them go back! ”

Yin Feng was suspicious in his heart, after all, he never expected Wei Yan to come out of Keigu, and insisted that it was not his authority to ask. After the Han army mixed into the Cao army, Wei Yan approached the Cao army in three ways.

This ferry will feel bad, where did so many soldiers and horses come from. Cao will inform everyone to prepare, maybe things have changed! Yin Feng checked with General Cao and noticed that the three soldiers and horses were in a semi-encircled formation.

Yin Feng shouted: "It's not good, these five hundred people can't be guaranteed to have no problem!" General, you resist the approaching soldiers and horses, and I will guard against the five hundred men who come in! ”

The ferry will be promised. Yin Bong returned to the army to lead the troops and horses for defense. Liu Yin, the commander of the Han army, saw that Yin Feng was transferring troops, and he didn't talk nonsense, so he attacked directly. Outside, Wei Yan's three Han armies started, sprinting, shouting, and attacking at the same time as the five hundred soldiers and horses who mixed in.

This battle is fought more and less, and there is no suspense. Yin Feng's 1,500 soldiers and horses, along with hundreds of defenders of the ferry, were all wiped out.

Wei Yan looked at Yin Feng's corpse on the ground and sighed: "You once sneaked up on Ma Chao to become famous, and today you were killed by me by sneak attack, even if you succeed or fail!" ”

Wei Yan was overjoyed after searching out the documents on Yin Feng's body: "Use this to cause trouble in Guanzhong!" Wei Yan cleaned up the battlefield and assigned a hundred people to guard the ferry. He led his troops in the direction of Chang'an.

Wei Yan interrogated Cao Jun and received bad news, and the Han army in Meridian Valley was completely annihilated. Wei Yan secretly screamed badly.

When he learned that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong were returning, he said happily: "Just take the opportunity to break through each and cause trouble in Guanzhong!" ”

Wei Yan continued to march his troops, and whenever he encountered Cao's army along the way, Wei Yan was not polite, first pretending that friendly troops were approaching, and suddenly attacked, surrounded and annihilated. Because Zhang Ji ordered the soldiers and horses to return, Wei Yan just had the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Eliminate several returning Cao troops, and take the opportunity to capture the county seat for food.

Zhang Ji was not aware of the chaos in Guanzhong, and Zhang Ji's first reaction after receiving the news may be that his frequent movements have caused chaos among some soldiers and horses.

Zhang Ji sent his cronies to various places to coordinate and urge the soldiers and horses to return to the county seat. The cronies who threw themselves into the net were seized by Wei Yan, and Wei Yan had the idea of attacking Chang'an.

At five watches in the evening, a group of soldiers and horses arrived in Chang'an City. Liu Min, a kind general under Wei Yan's account, came to call the door, and the city responded: "Who called the door?" ”

Liu Min replied: "We are the guards of Changshi Han Shen, Han Changshi was ordered to adjust the chaos of some soldiers and horses retreating, and when he returned, he accidentally fell off his horse, was seriously injured, and fell unconscious. We can only hurry back to the city to recuperate, and the brother who looks at us will open the door. ”

The city said: "You must not open the gates of the city at night!" ”

Liu Min said: "But Han Changshi is injured and is still waiting for treatment, you can do it well, and you will be accommodating." ”

Chengshang said: "Wait, I'll ask Master Zhang." ”

Liu Min looked at Wei Yan behind him, Wei Yan was preparing to occupy the city gate first once the door was opened, and now he couldn't help but say: "It seems that this Zhang Thorn History should be the Yongzhou Thorn History, and he can do this official position is an extraordinary person, if he comes, how to deceive the city gate." ”

After thinking about it, he whispered to Liu Min: "General Liu, keep calling, it will be difficult for Zhang Ji to have a chance when he comes!" Liu Min hurriedly shouted: "Changshi, why is your forehead so hot." ”

The person next to him also said smartly: "Can this be dragged on, and it will be over if Han Changshi is dragged on any longer." Brothers in the city, please save our adults, if there are three long and two short in the long history, we pawns can't afford it. ”

The city couldn't help but hesitate a little: "What should I do?" ”

Liu Min said again: "Brother, sealing the door is nothing more than preventing thieves, the five of us are our own people, what does it matter, as soon as you open the door, you will save your own life, do well, we are forever grateful to you." ”

The city began to whisper, too high to hear clearly, and said after a while: "Brother Chengxia, it's not that we don't open, it's that Zhang Tingshi is too strict, at most you will not lose your life if you neglect your duties, and we will kill people when we open the door!"

As long as Zhang Tingshi speaks, we will naturally not embarrass you. There is a Lang Zhong near us, and when he comes, we will fall down the city and give it to you first. Don't worry. ”

Wei Yan couldn't help but be a little confused, how strict this one was. When it came to this, he could only hold on, Wei Yan said: "General Liu, you keep shouting, I'll go and prepare soldiers and horses." Liu Min answered, and Wei Yan quietly retreated into the darkness. Liu Min kept pleading until Zhang Ji arrived.

The city shouted: "Zhang Tingshi is here!" ”

Liu Min was really anxious, and was forced to say to Zhang Ji with some tears in his eyes: "Lord Zhang, we accompanied Changshi to adjust the retreat, and when we came back, we accidentally fell off the horse, and we bumped all the way, and we ended up like this." ”

Zhang Ji said: "Chang'an has ordered that the city gate must not be opened at night, and no one can change this, and the regulations cannot be changed again and again." You can stay in the city for the night, and I will hang the langzhong, the medicine, the tent, the brazier, the quilt, and the charcoal, and it will not be cold. ”

Liu Min had to thank him again and again, admiring Zhang Ji and scolding him in his heart.

Liu Min raised his head and then looked at Zhang Ji by the firelight, Chang'an City was tall, and it was dark night, so he couldn't see clearly, and after a while, he came down first and kept hanging down all kinds of things.

Lang Zhong looked closer, and the person lying down was covered with his mouth, and he couldn't help but be a little panicked.

Liu Min pointed at Lang Zhong with a short knife and said: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are the army of the great Han Liu Xuande, and we are here to eradicate the traitors." ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "I am an ordinary person, I don't understand this, I can only treat people." ”

Liu Min said: "You just need to continue to see a doctor." Lang Zhong said yes again and again.

After a while, Liu Min shouted: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, our long history is fine, and Lang Zhong can be cured." ”

Zhang Ji said: "That's good." "Then another man came down,"

The man said, "I'll take a look at Han Changshi." ”

Liu Min agreed, and the man stepped forward, only to see Lang Zhong's hand trembling slightly, and when he saw that the person on the stretcher was pale, there was no fever at all. The man just wanted to open his mouth, but Liu Min had already stepped forward to knock him over.

Liu Min waved his hand and everyone retreated. Seeing the chaos under the city, Zhang Ji asked "What's wrong?" ”

Liu Min shouted: "Lang Zhong lost his hand with something, it's okay!" ”

Zhang Ji said: "Be careful! After a while, there was no movement in the city.

Zhang Ji asked, "Under the city, what happened to Han Changshi?" No one answered.

Zhang Ji asked several times in a row, felt bad, and immediately ordered to take precautions, and then shouted: "The thieves under the city, show up quickly!" ”

As soon as the words fell, only to hear the sound of arrows, Zhang Ji hurriedly flashed to the city wall next to him, and dozens of arrows were nailed to the place where he spoke.

Zhang Ji shouted: "There are thieves!"

The Cao army of the city wall shoots arrows together. Zhang Ji realized that since Han Changshi was in their hands, it must have happened to Guanzhong, and ordered martial law.

After dawn, there was nothing in the city, Zhang Ji quickly informed all parts of Guanzhong to be under martial law to prevent the invasion of enemy troops, and asked people to go to the Meridian Valley to warn

After Liu Min failed to deceive the city, Wei Yan retreated decisively, Wei Yan looked at Chang'an and said: "This person is stationed in Chang'an, and he can't try to." Now, first destroy the Cao army of Meridian Valley, and then follow the plan formulated by Mr. Zhuge to chaos in the pass! ”

Wei Yan entered Guanzhong, forcibly levied and plundered a lot of horses, Wei Yan was fully equipped, and sent cavalry to block the big and small roads and hunt down the horses and messengers sent by Zhang Ji.

Divide your troops into two ways. A thousand people were sent to Tongguan to walk around and intimidate Cao Jun. The rest of the soldiers and horses hurriedly marched to the Meridian Valley, and attacked the Cao army there, weakening the Cao army in Guanzhong.

Dong Xi was naturally a little proud since he defeated Gao Xiang, but Zhang Ji didn't give him face, blaming him for not hearing the strength of the thief army clearly, asking for help indiscriminately, and affecting the entire Guanzhong.

Dong Xi is only submissive on the surface, but he is not convinced in his heart, and he naturally does not do things as hard as before.

Zhang was cautious and left Dong Xi with 2,000 soldiers and horses. Wei Yan suddenly killed, Dong Xi never expected that Wei Yan took the lead, held the retreat of the Cao army, broke into the Cao camp, and the two thousand Cao army were defeated and retreated to the Meridian Valley.

Wei Yan didn't have time to chase after the small group of soldiers. Lead the troops to retreat. Retreat in the direction of Yixian.

Wei Yan knew that attacking the county seat could not be occupied, and it would not have much effect, but would delay time. Wei Yan divided several teams of 100 people and rebelled on all sides.

The people in some places in Guanzhong were the people of Cao Cao's forced relocation of Wudu, Wei Yan inquired clearly, used them first, Wei Yan took several county seats, except for officials and county lieutenants with good reputations, all of them who were not famous were executed.

The Cao army, who preached that it was the uprising anyway, because Cao Cao was tyrannical and oppressed the people as Tuntian soldiers, he had already left his hometown and suffered serious exploitation.

The gold, silver, grain, and finances of all officials were confiscated and divided. After spreading rumors and taking the official's property to kill the head, in a panic, Wei Yan secretly sent people to climb up and shout, pull out the people and horses, and become thieves.

Wei Yan's old tricks were repeated, and he deliberately propagated them, so that the whole Guanzhong was chaotic, and several thieves swarmed, plundering the Quartet, making people panic, and everyone didn't know what was going on.

These thieves are not as disciplined as Wei Yan's army, burning, killing and looting are inevitable, and it is the people who suffer after all.

Wei Yan didn't have time to pay attention to so much, he went to every county along the road, and if he could break through, he would get food, and if he couldn't or delayed time, he shouted, saying that he was revolting anyway and resisting Cao Cao's tyranny. In order to achieve the purpose of disrupting the audio-visual and messing up the Guanzhong.

After the retreat of the besieging soldiers and horses, Yang Fu of Yixian County seemed more anxious than when he was besieged. Zhao Ang came from outside and said to Yang Fu: "Yishan, the besieging soldiers and horses have gone east!" ”

Yang Fu paused and said: "It's not good, I'm afraid that these soldiers and horses will not besiege the city, and go to attack Chen Cang, and then attack the back of General Xiahou." I'll send someone to report it immediately! ”

Yang Fu sent his judgment to the street pavilion, but how could Jufu not be prepared, he had already stuck everywhere and intercepted the messenger.

Zhao Ang waited for Yang Fu to finish arranging and echoed: "Yes! They besieged us, which means that we were holding us back. Leave now, our offensive forces are scattered, our strength is insufficient, and I am afraid that Guanzhong will be in danger! ”

Yang Fu said: "I have already reported to Zhang Tingshi to seek a solution!" ”

Zhao Ang suddenly said in a low voice: "Yishan, there is a bad thing, that General Yin Feng was killed!" The corpse was left in the thief barracks, and the thief army used the coffin to collect Yin Feng's body. Look at what they mean to bury us! The body was not damaged, which was a blessing in misfortune. ”

Yang Fu was startled, closed his eyes and said, "I have a hunch that the sudden appearance of the thief army, we were negligent in guarding against it, and we failed to send the news out as soon as possible." The various departments in Guanzhong were mobilized by the suspicious soldiers in the Meridian Valley.

The thieves divided their troops and pretended to aid the soldiers and horses of Chang'an, and General Yin Feng did not notice it for a while, so he would inevitably suffer, but he didn't want to die! This army must be Liu Bei's, ordinary thieves will never treat General Yin Feng so politely, how can ordinary thieves behave like this. Only Liu Bei's soldiers and horses can appreciate loyal people! ”

Zhao Ang said: "Reasonable, Liu Bei is so bold, Nanyang, Longyou, and Guanzhong are divided into three routes, and he is afraid that he will do his best to attack." None of our checkpoints in Mibuya worked. These 10,000 thieves have no follow-up food and grass support, so they dare to go deeper! ”

Yang Fu said: "Keigu is all clear sentinels, and after a long battle, the thieves can be uprooted with a little care." We were negligent after all. As for the 10,000 soldiers and horses, they only need to bring out the grain from the valley and enter Guanzhong, and if they pretend to be our army, who can divide it. It's called the army, but it's actually the same thing as the rogue! ”

Zhao Ang said: "We can't let them use our banner to ruin our reputation. I intend to ask Zhang Tingshi to write a letter and spread it all over Guanzhong, and the content will say that there is a time limit for them to lay down their arms and surrender. Otherwise, once the time passes, it will be regarded as rebellion and will be exterminated. The people can defend themselves, not take responsibility! ”

Yang Fu said: "Spread all over Guanzhong, the situation is even more erosive, people's hearts are unstable, and the situation is even worse!" ”

Zhao Ang said depressedly: "So what should I do? ”

Yang Fu said: "There is no second way to destroy or severely damage this army of soldiers and horses!" Wei Zhang, you immediately rush to Zhang Tingshi's office to help him find a way. I only need 2,000 soldiers and horses to defend myself. You can take the remaining 2,000 soldiers and horses! ”

Zhao Ang said: "Yishan means that there are still thieves in Guanzhong!" ”

Yang Fu said: "The thief army has been besieging the city for eight days, and suddenly went west, I am afraid that the soldiers and horses who attacked General Yin Feng got the information and sent them to rush the first troops." We can't afford to mess with ourselves.

First stabilize Guanzhong, march west with six or seven thousand soldiers and horses, and our two thousand soldiers and horses will be useless, and once we turn back, the whole army will inevitably be wiped out. I have already sent two hundred messengers to deliver the message from all sides, Han Xing is too guarded by You Chu, General Xiahou will be prepared! ”

Zhao Ang said: "Two thousand soldiers and horses to defend the city is too little, I'm afraid you will have an accident!" ”

Yang Fu said: "I know my own ability, the hearts of the people of Yixian County are all here, even if I have an army of 100,000, I can support more than a month."

Moreover, the thief army that entered the pass did not have siege equipment, so there was nothing to be afraid of. You just have to go with peace of mind and find a way to destroy the thief army as soon as possible. Be careful on the road and don't encounter the main force of the thief army! Zhao Ang bowed his hand and retreated.

Zhao Ang marched on the road and was surprised by the chaos in Guanzhong, several counties were lost, thieves, scoundrels and other people did not keep their duties, and poor and self-reliant people oppressed the people, and there was chaos.

These counties were once breached by Wei Yan, and the defenders of the city were annihilated. Zhao Ang quickly dealt with the nearby thieves, killed nearly a thousand people, and restored calm to several counties, but this also exposed his whereabouts.

Zhao Ang was afraid of encountering Wei Yan's main force, so he stayed on the spot. Zhao Ang himself led his cronies to Chang'an.

Zhao Ang visited Zhang Ji and explained the situation, Zhang Ji sighed and said: "I only care about the Meridian Valley, but the thieves attacked along the Kei Valley, and the cleverness was mistaken by the cleverness."

The situation in Guanzhong is worse than you think, I received a report yesterday that Wei Yan went along the Wei River. And before annihilating the soldiers and horses of the Meridian Valley, I sent a grain transport team to support General Xiahou. What I'm most afraid of now is that Wei Yan will catch up with the grain and grass, and General Xiahou will run out of food! ”

Zhao Ang said: "It turned out to be Wei Yan, Yishan and I haven't been able to understand who is the commander these days." General Yin Bong also lost his life! It's not good, Yishan and I don't know about grain and grass, I should have led the troops to follow Wei Yan behind! ”

Zhang Jidao: "Yishan did the right thing, it is right to stabilize Guanzhong first, most of the soldiers in the front are Guanzhong people, and if Guanzhong continues to be turbulent, the military spirit will collapse."

Han Xing is too guarded by You Chu and will not sit idly by. Alas, it was also my carelessness that led to Dong Xi, the defender of Meridian Valley, Zhou Bin, the overseer, Han Shen, and the defenders of Meridian Valley, and the defenders of Meridian Valley, all the defenders in each county were completely annihilated, and we lost most of the remaining troops in an instant.

Watching Wei Yan run rampant! On the day that Wei Yan came out of the Kei Valley, the state army rushed to the north of Weishui to rush to the aid of Jieting.

At that time, the Meridian Valley Bandit Army appeared, and I had the idea of asking for some soldiers and horses to help, but in the end, I couldn't insist on asking for help and the state army, plus I quickly broke the Meridian Valley Bandit Army. If I had persevered, I wouldn't have ended up so passive. ”

Zhao Ang was taken aback, but he didn't expect Wei Yan and the soldiers and horses of Bingzhou to pass by like this.

Zhao Ang said bitterly: "Zhang Tingshi, what should I do now!" ”

Zhang Jidao: "I have sent additional men and horses to order the counties north of Weishui to clear the wall and the wilderness, and not let Wei Yan get food on the spot, Zhao Tingshi, you have divided two thousand soldiers and horses from me, meet with what you brought, and first exterminate the thieves who took advantage of the opportunity to rise south of Weishui!"

I have already hurried to the street pavilion to warn and ask General Xiahou for reinforcements. When the place is pacified, he will annihilate Wei Yan with reinforcements. ”

Zhao Ang promised to gather troops and horses to exterminate the thieves.
