When Yuan Qi learned that Yuan Xie actually drove to Hanzhong in person, the five armies of the imperial court had already set off for as many as five days, and it was still the Qianlong members from all over the country who had killed more than a dozen horses before the news was passed on to Yuan Qi, who was thousands of miles away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info can receive this news in just five days, I'm afraid there is only Yuan Qi alone.

After receiving this news, Yuan Qi's heart immediately sank, and it was time to come. Yuan Xie's ability, Yuan Qi is the clearest, it can be said that Yuan Qi is half of Yuan Xie's master, Yuan Xie's ways and methods of handling affairs, basically learned from Yuan Qi, Yuan Qi clearly knows, Yuan Xie can handle political affairs, but leading troops to fight is an out-and-out layman! With his command level that is not even an entry level, it is impossible to be the opponent of Taishan, an old fox.

Yuan Qi immediately called Zhao Hu and Zhang Long, and asked them to take the five thousand Heavenly Return Army to take the first step, day and night, they must catch up with Yuan Xie, and stop Yuan Xie before Yuan Xie and Taishan fight. Yuan Qi understands that although Taishan keeps talking about the country and the people all the time, he will never be caught, nor will he be disposed of by Yuan Xie, maybe Taishan will take this opportunity to make a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, which is Taishan's strength. After Mount Tai got Yizhou, a large number of people were subdued by him, with Fa Zheng, Huang Quan and others as the head of Yizhou civil and military, but are not idle people, with the assistance of these people, Mount Tai is really like a tiger with wings, like a fish in water, if Yuan Xie insisted on going his own way, did not listen to the advice of Huang Fuchu and Zhong Xuan and others, then this battle, will undoubtedly lose.

Zhao Hu and Zhang Long understood Yuan Qi's intentions and immediately packed up their weapons and armor. With 5,000 elites of the Heavenly Return Army, they galloped towards Hanzhong. This battle can't just start, at least not before Yuan Qi is ready! Zhao Hu and Zhang Long's task is to stop Yuan Xie's advance, and everything will be decided after Yuan Qi arrives.

After Zhao Hu and Zhang Long left. Yuan Qi did not stop for a moment, immediately reorganized the army, prepared grain and grass, and tried to go to Hanzhong as soon as possible to support Yuan Xie. At the very least, make sure that he doesn't have too many accidents

In just two days, Yuan Qi prepared a lot of grain and grass, and then immediately took the Tiangui Army, the Flying Dragon Army with 10,000 elites each, and 30,000 iron cavalry to form an army of 50,000 people, and marched to Hanzhong in a double way.

On the fourth day of the departure of the army led by Yuan Qi, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long finally caught up with Yuan Xie in Fufeng County, at the junction of Guanzhong and Hanzhong. In just six days, spanning a distance of thousands of miles, it can be regarded as a miracle, for this reason, most of the war horses of the elite of the Tiangui Army have been exhausted to death, and even the spare horses are already out of breath, and even Zhao Hu's little white dragon and Zhang Long's white crane, these two thousand miles of horses, have also fallen into malaise, which shows how hard Zhao Hu and others have worked hard to gallop all the way.

Yuan Xie had seen these two people several times, and because Zhang Ji swore to stick to Chang'an, he was killed by the rebellious Li Dao and Guo Yan, and looked at Zhang Long differently, so after seeing them, Yuan Xie seemed very happy, and took their hands to the Chinese army's tent.

After entering the account, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long saw dozens of civil and military ministers lined up on both sides, discussing the matter of marching in a low voice. Zhao Hu groaned slightly, and said loudly to Yuan Xie: "Your sage, before the king of Yan sent the last general to wait, he told the last general to tell the sage that he must wait for the king of Yan to lead the army to arrive, and then decide whether to enter Hanzhong." Therefore, the last general believed that our army should temporarily stand still and wait for the arrival of King Yan. ”

Yuan Xie looked at Zhao Hu directly, shook his head slowly, and said firmly: "Every time, it is the imperial brother who shelters me from the wind and rain, this time, I want to regain the dignity of the Yuan clan with my own hands, and General Zhao Hu does not need to persuade him anymore." ”

It turns out that Yuan Xie thinks so! He wants to personally crusade against Mount Tai, so that everyone in the whole world knows that the majesty of the Son of Heaven is still not easily challenged by anyone! This battle is different from the past, and Taishan's approach, although it can't say anything on the surface, has actually touched the bottom line of Yuan Xie, or the bottom line of imperial power, and it is a matter of royal dignity, and Yuan Xie must personally go to get it back!

Looking at Yuan Xie's resolute face, Zhao Hu finally knew why Huangfu Chu and Zhong Xuan and the others didn't stop him!

Sighing softly, Zhao Hu and Zhang Long glanced at each other, both knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "The last general is willing to follow the saint and hold the whip and stirrup for the saint!" At this time, Zhong Xuan on the side suddenly showed a trace of deep sadness in his eyes, and glanced at Huangfu Chu who was standing opposite him, and both of them couldn't help but sigh secretly. The scene from a few days ago came back to the minds of both of them at the same time. On that day, Yuan Xie had just received Mount Tai's request to enter the throne of the king of Hanzhong, Yuan Xie was very angry about this, the monarch was weak and the minister was strong, which would inevitably lead to some careerists taking the opportunity to make waves and reap the benefits, this sadness deeply stimulated Yuan Xie's heart, so he decided to drive the expedition and send troops to fight against Mount Tai.

At that time, Zhong Xuan and Huang Fu Chu were strongly opposed, they thought that Yuan Xie had not really led troops, did not have the ability to command the battle, if blindly sent troops, maybe there would be danger, seeing that these two veterans who had gone through three dynasties strongly opposed, Yuan Xie summoned them into the apse, and quietly said something to them, it was these words that finally made Zhong Xiang and Huang Fu Chu change their minds and agree to Yuan Xie's troops, as for what Yuan Xie said to their two old ministers, except for the three of them, no fourth person knew。

Zhong Xuan and Huang Fuchu also discovered from that day that Yuan Xie, who was watched by them since childhood, is no longer a young man, but has grown into a real man, a man, you need to have the courage to face all difficulties, a man, you need to know how to make trade-offs in some major things, this is the real man. Zhong Xuan and Huang Fuchu can never forget what Yuan Xie said to them on that day, and on that day, Yuan Xie made a trade-off that they did not expect, a decision that will have a profound impact on the fate of the country.

Putting away the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Zhong Xuan hid the sad look in his eyes, stood up and said: "Holy Lord, it is better to let General Zhao and General Zhang be the scouts of the army, the prestige of the elite of the Tiangui Army, the old minister has long been like thunder." ”

In the whole world, there is no army that can be more comprehensive than the Tiangui Army under the command of Yuan Qi, it can be said that the Tiangui Army is slightly worse than the water war, and all other aspects are the first-class high level at that time, and those scouts under Yuan Xie's hands cannot be compared with the elite of the Tiangui Army, so Zhong Xuan will make such a suggestion. In Zhong Xuan's view, this is a very dangerous battle, so all the details must be done well in order to avoid some things that are not within the scope of control.

When Zhao Hu and Zhang Long heard this, they took a step forward at the same time, gave a standard military salute to Yuan Xie, and said in unison: "Let the saint drive, the ministers will never give up!"

In a not too open space, an elite of the Tiangui Army riding a white horse, with white feathers on his helmet and a saber on his back, galloped on his horse, and soon he came to the back of the clearing, with a raised mound.

"How is it?" Seeing his subordinates returning from inquiring about the news, Zhao Hu immediately asked in a low voice.

The elite of the Heavenly Return Army, who had just returned, turned over and dismounted, and he didn't even have time to breathe, and hurriedly replied: "General, the ten of us have been sentry for twenty miles, and we have not found anything abnormal, but I always feel that this kind of calm is very abnormal, and maybe, it is this tranquility deliberately created by Taishan to confuse us." ”

Zhao Hu believed in the judgment of his subordinates, they were all veterans of a hundred battles, and that kind of judgment and prediction of the battlefield situation was something they had cultivated in countless bloody battles, since they felt that something was wrong, there must be a problem. As the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, even if Taishan really doesn't know about the Yuanxie Imperial Expedition now, but Hanzhong is the northwest gateway of Yizhou, and Taishan's attention to Hanzhong is self-evident, and there is absolutely no reason not to fortify near Hanzhong, otherwise he would not have to spend so much money to fight for Hanzhong.

After a slight hesitation, Zhao Hu suddenly ordered: "Send a team to test it openly, there is no need to do any hiding and disguise, it is best to let the Tanma of Hanzhong clearly see your figure, and I want to see what tricks Taishan is playing again." In addition, Zhang Long was informed to lead his army back to the camp, and asked the Holy Lord to postpone the march until we had clarified the matter. ”

With Zhao Hu's order, the two teams of fifty people immediately broke away from the brigade and ran separately to Hanzhong in front of them and Zhang Long's garrison behind them.

When Zhang Long received Zhao Hu's notice, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led the army back to Yuan Xie's camp, told Yuan Xie the news of the elite discovery of the Tiangui Army, and told Zhao Hu's doubts about the surprisingly calm near Hanzhong.

After listening to Zhang Long's report. Yuan Xie lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Time must not be lost, loss will not come again!" The calm in Hanzhong must be that Taishan does not know that I have led the army here, and ordered the three armies to march immediately and approach Hanzhong!"

Zhong Xuan and Huang Fuchu stepped forward at the same time and hurriedly persuaded: "Holy Lord." Taishan is a hero in the world, how could he make such a low-level mistake? There must be some deception in this, so let's wait for General Zhao Hu to find out the situation before making a decision. ”

Yuan Xie glanced at the two old ministers with deep meaning, and said in a low voice: "Two old men, don't forget the things I gave you before the expedition, now is an opportunity! ”

Zhong Xuan and Huangfu Chu glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and gave up the admonition. Walked backwards back to his place. When Zhang Long saw this situation, he was puzzled, and hurriedly said: "Holy Lord, the two elders are extremely worried. We ......"

"Okay! Don't say any more, march immediately! Violators of the order will be punished by military law!" Yuan Xie didn't wait for Zhang Long to finish speaking, directly interrupted his words, and gave the order to march very resolutely.

This decision of the Yuan Association. made Zhang Long very puzzled in his heart, according to Zhang Long's experience in leading troops to fight, even after finding out the enemy situation in front of him. It is also necessary to wait until the left and right wings of the troops are in place, and the main general of the Chinese army can lead his troops straight to the battlefield, but the current Yuan Xie has not figured out the details of the direction of Mount Tai in Hanzhong, and Zhu Hao, Song Qiong, and others on the left and right wings have not yet been in place, so they rush to pounce on it, and they will definitely lose the battle, even if Yuan Xie is a layman in military command, but he will not even be able to figure this out, right? How can it be said that he is also half a disciple taught by Yuan Qi! But on the contrary, Yuan Xie did this, which made Zhang Long very helpless.

Huang Fu Chu saw Zhang Long's depression, deliberately a few steps behind, and after most of the officials followed Yuan Xie out of the big tent, he came to Zhang Long's side and said in a low voice: "Don't question anything, the Holy Lord's decision has his own reason, and you will understand this in the future." Your duty now is not to question, but to keep up with the Holy One and protect the safety of the Holy One. ”

Zhang Long nodded to Huangfu Chu, signaling that he knew what his responsibilities were, and then quickly chased after Yuan Xie. Looking at the backs of everyone, Huangfu Chu sighed leisurely, and two old tears suddenly fell from his eyes.

Knock knock knock - the drums of the three-way war were sounded, and the 50,000 enemy troops had been assembled, lined up in a neat phalanx, waiting for the review of the Yuan Association.

Yuan Xie rode on a five-flowered horse in military uniform, looking at the 50,000 elite soldiers in front of him with helmets and armor, and the pride and ambition in his heart spontaneously arose! Reaching out and pulling out the saber at his waist, Yuan Xie's horse ran up, and in the gallop of the five-flowered horse, Yuan Xie shouted: "Those who commit crimes against the Son of Heaven will be punished even if they are far away!"

The 50,000 elite soldiers immediately raised their weapons in their hands, their eyes were always fixed on Yuan Xie in the gallop, and they responded in unison: "Kill! kill!!! kill !!"

After riding the horse and running for a lap, Yuan Xie grabbed the reins of the war horse, made the five-flowered horse still, raised the sword in his hand, pointed straight to the sky, and roared proudly: "Kill!"

"Kill, kill!!!kill !!" The 50,000 soldiers immediately roared with Yuan Xie, and their voices revealed their infinite fighting spirit and firm belief in defending the dignity of the strong man to the death.

Looking at the determined looks on the faces of the soldiers, listening to the sonorous voices of the soldiers, and feeling the high morale of the soldiers, Yuan Xie's eyes moistened. It's not sadness, it's not about power, Yuan Xie was moved by these respectable and lovely soldiers, "Go!" Yuan Xie had tears in his eyes and used all his strength. I did my best to issue the first military order of my own expedition.

The 50,000 elite soldiers immediately moved their feet, turned their bodies in an orderly manner, and walked outside the camp in turn, in the direction of Hanzhong.

At the same time as the soldiers set off, Zhang Long immediately instigated his war horse, came to Yuan Xie's side with the Tianyu Phoenix Spear in his hand, and automatically acted as Yuan Xie's personal guard, and stretched out his left hand and made several gestures in the air in a row. Under Zhang Long's gesture order, the 1,000 elites of the Heavenly Return Army who followed Zhang Long immediately dispersed into four teams, with a distance of fifty paces, and guarded all the four directions of Yuan Xie's body.

50,000 people doesn't sound like much, but in fact, when 50,000 people gather together, especially when 50,000 soldiers gather together, the coercion formed can be felt from a distance of several miles, and the dust they bring up in the process of marching will inevitably fall into the eyes of others.

Therefore, Zhao Hu immediately discovered the movement of the army, stomped his feet and reproached: "How did Senior Brother Zhang Long get it, didn't he ask the Holy Lord to suspend the march, why did he let the Holy Shang enter the army?" ”

Yuan Xie looked at Zhao Hu in front of his horse, and said slowly but very firmly: "No need, I have made up my mind!

Zhao Hu was about to say something, but Yuan Xie interrupted Zhao Hu with a wave of his hand, and asked Zhao Hu with a seemingly inquiring question: "I heard that in the Yan army, there is such a saying, there is only one sergeant who died in battle, and there is no one who is scared to death, isn't it?"

Hearing that Yuan Xie had brought out all the slogans that were regarded as classics in the Yan army, Zhao Hu didn't know that Yuan Xie had made up his mind to launch a surprise attack on Hanzhong? Knowing that he would never be able to change Yuan Xie's mind, Zhao Hu had no choice but to give up persuasion, and while waving his hand to issue an order to the elite of the Tiangui Army behind him, asking them to continue to reconnoiter the enemy situation on the straggler line, he came to Yuan Xie's side and acted as Yuan Xie's personal guard, just like Zhang Long.

At the same time that Yuan Xie led the army forward, Mount Tai, who had not appeared for a long time, was standing on a mountain less than ten miles away from the Yuan Association army at this moment, and Fa Zheng and Zhang Song were standing on both sides behind Mount Tai. Looking at the smoke and dust raised in the sky ahead, Taishan suddenly smiled sinisterly: "It's here, it's finally here, everything is in our plan." Pass the order down and do what you planned. ”

Fa Zheng hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Great King, do you really want to do this? He is the saint of the day......

Taishan turned his head and glanced at Fa Zheng, and said in a low voice: "No poison, no husband, small amount is not a gentleman, go and prepare quickly"

Fa Zheng and Zhang Song glanced at each other, and arched their hands to Mount Tai and said, "Obey." ”
