Due to the limitation of grain and grass, 200,000 Han troops gathered in Sanfu, but they could not send troops to Hanyang, so they had to temporarily settle in Sanfu Tuntian.

The war against Kui Huan was not over yet, and Liu Xiu did not plan to return to Luoyang, so he stayed in Chang'an for a long time.

Due to the lack of food and grass, the Han army was unable to attack Kui Huan, but Kui Huan did not plan to stop fighting with the Han army.

Now, Kui Huan does not covet Sanfu, after all, the Han army has too many troops in Sanfu, and Kui Huan covets stability.

Anding County, which originally belonged to Liangzhou, was later forcibly occupied by Lu Fang, because Lu Fang had the support of the Huns behind him, and Kui Huan sent troops to settle down several times, but he returned in vain.

The two counties of Anding and Beidi, which were captured by Lu Fang, became a pimple in Kui Huan's heart.

Now that Anding and the two counties of Beidi have been beaten down by Feng Yi and have already belonged to Luoyang, this hustle and bustle has begun to stir again.

The Huns are not easy to fight, but the Han army is not difficult to fight, not long ago, they defeated the 100,000 Han army of Liu Xiu's personal commander in Hanyang.

Isn't it a good opportunity for your side to regain stability and the two counties of the Northland?

For Anding and the Northland, Kui Huan has been coveting for a long time, and now that the opportunity has finally come, he doesn't plan to let it go.

Kui Huan ordered Wang Yuan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Anding.

After receiving Kui Huan's order, Wang Yuan's heart trembled and he gasped.

It was he who fought on the front line, not Kui Huan.

Kui Huan thought that the Han army was very easy to fight, and that was because he only saw the result, and his own side repelled the Han army in Hanyang; And Wang Yuan was the commander and participant in the Battle of Hanyang, and he knew very well in his heart that the Han army was not easy to fight.

100,000 Han troops, in the case of insufficient intelligence, rashly entered Hanyang, and they also divided their troops to fight, their own nearly 200,000 troops, as well as more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, adopted the tactics of breaking one by one, and in the end only lost 40,000 Han troops, so that the Han army, which was close to 60,000, successfully withdrew to Sanfu.

If it is a head-to-head confrontation, it is really hard to say whether your 200,000 army can defeat the 100,000 Han army! Is it possible that the king is now carried away by the victory and wants to take away Anding and Beidi from the Han army?

Wang Yuan wrote a reply letter to Kui Huan, persuading Kui Huan that now is not the time for his side to take the initiative to attack, and the most important thing for his side to do is to do a good job of defense and be careful against another invasion of the Han army.

After receiving Wang Yuan's reply to this 'soft bone', Kui Huan was furious, and in the reply, he severely reprimanded Wang Yuan, blaming him for not wanting to make progress, being cowardly, and being short-sighted, regardless of the overall situation.

After reading Kui Huan's reply, Yuan Wang's face was flushed, and he wanted to dig a pit and get into it.

After thinking about it, he sent another letter to Kui Huan, this time he did not persuade Kui Huan again, but proposed to Kui Huan that while he sent troops to stabilize and stabilize, he also needed to send troops to attack Huang County.

This is Wang Yuan's second-best tactic.

Sending troops to Huangxian is to create the illusion that the Han army is going to attack Sanfu again, and to attract as many Han troops as possible to the side of Huangxian, so that when they attack stability, they will not suffer too much resistance, but they can take stability in one go.

As for whether he can hold it after taking stability, this is not within Wang Yuan's current consideration.

I'll leave that for later! This time, Kui Huan adopted Wang Yuan's suggestion.

He ordered Wang Jie and Wang Meng to lead 50,000 troops to attack Huangxian, and ordered Wang Yuan to lead 100,000 troops to attack Anding, and ordered Zhou Zong and Xingxun to lead 50,000 troops to defend Hanyang.

There are many generals under Kui Huan, just the generals, there are Wang Yuan, Wang Jie, Wang Zun, Yang Guang, Zhou Zong, Xing Xun, these generals are all handsome people who can stand alone.

A few days later, the Kui Huan army led by Wang Jie and Wang Meng arrived in Wangxian County.

Wangxian is located at the junction of Sanfu and Hanyang, and from Hanyang to send troops to Sanfu, Wangxian is a necessary place and the most important strategic place.

When the Kui Huan army arrived in Wangxian, the 20,000 Han troops led by Sai Zun were in Tuntian here.

Seeing the enemy army attacking in a big way, the Han army immediately retreated into Wangcheng.

At the same time, he passed the book to Chang'an and reported the enemy situation to Liu Xiu.

After receiving the letter from the priest, Liu Xiu did not dare to delay, and immediately sent Geng Yi to lead 50,000 Han troops to reinforce Wangxian.

According to Wang Yuan's assumption, his own army attacked Wangxian, and he could lure the Han army in the Sanfu region to the west of Wangxian, so that the north was empty, which just created an opportunity for his own side to attack and stabilize.

However, the Western Expeditionary Army led by Feng Yi still remained in Tuntian, Qixian County, at the junction of Sanfu and Anding, and was completely unmoved.

The Kui Huan army attacked Huang County, and Feng Yi, who was in Qi County, also heard about it, and Feng Yi asked the soldiers who reported the news: "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?" ”

The soldier replied, "Fifty thousand!" ”

Feng Yi was happy when he heard this, and said: "Bluff, this is a suspicious plan!" ”

He has 200,000 soldiers and horses in Sanfu, and Kui Huan only sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huangxian.

Did he send 50,000 soldiers to their deaths?

Without thinking about it carefully, Feng Yi dared to conclude that the attack of the 50,000 enemy troops was just a bluff, and the Kui Huan army must have other plans.

Sure enough.

Soon after the Kui Huan army attacked Wangxian, the 100,000 Kui Huan army led by Wang Yuan went out of Longdi and invaded Anding, and the 100,000 army was divided into two routes, all the way to the Jitou Valley and the Boluo Valley all the way, advancing in unison and advancing into stability.

At present, the Han army has not stationed soldiers and horses in Anding, and the soldiers and horses in Anding are all county soldiers from various counties.

The 100,000 Kui Huan army, almost as soon as they walked, captured the Bird County in the west of Anding, and then the army used the Bird as a springboard to go south along the Jingshui River and go straight to Yinpan.

Yinpan is a strategic place in the south of Anding, if Yinpan is occupied by the Kui Huan army, then it is equivalent to cutting off the route from Sanfu to Anding, and the Kui Huan army can rest assured and boldly toss in the area north of Yinpan.

The speed of the Kui Huan army was very fast, and after capturing the Bird Clan, it was completely non-stop in the direction of Yin Pan.

However, the speed of the Kui Huan army was fast, but it was not as fast as the Western Expeditionary Army.

Yinpan is located near the junction of Anding County and Sanfu, not far away, which is Qi County of Tuntian of the Western Expeditionary Army.

Anding County was subdued by Feng Yi, and the officials in all counties of Anding County all looked forward to Feng Yi's horse.

The overall situation of the Kui Huan Army is coming, and the letters of the local officials in the stability are transmitted to Feng Yi like snowflakes, and it can be said that Feng Yi knows every move of the Kui Huan Army in the stability of the army.

Confirming that Wang Yuan's goal was Yinpan, Feng Yi immediately led the expeditionary army to the north, entered Anding, and arrived at Yinpan first, with an army of 100,000 troops, sending troops outside Yinpan City to line up and open the posture.

When Wang Yuan led an army of 100,000 into Yinpan County and arrived at Yinpan City, he happened to see the Western Expeditionary Army waiting for him.

Feng Yi and Wang Yuan, they are old acquaintances.

In the past, Kui Huan returned to the Han Dynasty, Feng Yi and Wang Yuan were allies, and the two used troops together to deal with the Shu army, and repeatedly rejected the Shu army from the three auxiliaries.

Now, Kui Huan broke with Liu Xiu and joined Chengdu Gongsun Shu, and Feng Yi and Wang Yuan have changed from allies to enemies.

In the Battle of Yinpan, the troops of both sides were equal, both of which were 100,000.

The long journey of the Kui Huan army came, and the Western Expeditionary Army was waiting for work and waiting for battle.

On the first day, the two sides did not fight, and Wang Yuan ordered to set up camp and fight on a certain day.

As a result, the wait is several days.

Wang Yuan is not wasting time blindly, he is waiting for Wang Jie and Wang Meng to make progress, as long as Wang Jie and Wang Meng can achieve a big victory in Wangxian County, even if they only occupy a certain advantage, it is possible to lead the Western Army away, even if only a part of the Western Army is taken away, it is good, and their side can also have the certainty of victory.

However, to Wang Yuan's disappointment, Wang Jie and Wang Meng have not launched an attack on the Han army in Wangxian County, and now the situation in Wangxian County is that Wang Jie and Wang Meng's soldiers and horses are stationed in the west of Wangxian County, the soldiers and horses of Xizun are stationed in the city of Wangcheng, and Geng Yi's soldiers and horses are stationed in the east of Wangxian County.

Both sides have been exhausted, and neither has taken the initiative to attack.

The battlefield in Huangxian County was in a stalemate, which made Wang Yuan anxious, so that Wang Yuan led 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight the Western Expeditionary Army led by Feng Yi, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

After Wang Yuan led his troops to Yinpan, he was reluctant to send troops to attack, which made Kui Huan very dissatisfied, and at the same time, the officials under Kui Huan also impeached Wang Yuan for his inaction.

Civilian officials such as Zhao Bing, Su Heng, Zheng Xing, Shen Tugang, and Du Lin repeatedly admonished Kui Huan, saying that Wang Yuan's refusal to take the initiative to attack was really ill-intentioned, and he either planned to support the army and respect himself, or had an affair with Liu Xiu.

The Wang family is the largest faction under Kui Huan, and the generals alone account for three of them, Wang Yuan, Wang Jie, Wang Zun, and as for the generals in the army, the Wang family has more, like Wang Meng, Wang Zong, etc., countless.

The officials under Kui Huan, many people have long looked at the Wang family unpleasantly, and now that they finally have the opportunity, of course they are working hard to impeach.

By Kui Huan's side, there is also the Wang family, the general Wang Zun.

It's just that Wang Zun belongs to a typical person, and his heart is in Han in Cao Ying.

Kui Huan rebelled against the Han Dynasty and attached himself to Gongsun Shu, which made Wang Zun disappointed in Kui Huan, and he once planned to resign and go to Luoyang to defect to Liu Xiu.

But Wang Zun's identity is too special, he is the first batch of hardcore henchmen who followed Kui Huan to raise troops, the relationship between Wang Zun and Kui Huan is equivalent to the relationship between Feng Yi and Liu Xiu, he went to Luoyang to take refuge in Liu Xiu, people may not believe it, and if he doesn't get it right, he has to be directly pulled out and beheaded.

After thinking about it, Wang Zun did not act hastily, and continued to stay by Kui Huan's side, planning to find a suitable opportunity to defect to Liu Xiu again.

Last time, the reason why Lai She and Ma Yuan were able to successfully escape from Liangzhou was also due to Wang Zun's help.

Kui Huan still trusted Wang Zun very much, and he asked Wang Zun if Wang Yuan's immobility in Yinpan was really like what the officials said, whether he wanted to support the army and respect himself, or secretly had an affair with Liu Xiu.

Wang Zun's answer was that although he and Wang Yuan were of the same clan, their personal relationship was not deep, and they did not move around much, and they did not know each other well, let alone know each other, and Wang Yuan would not tell him what he had in mind.

His answer seems to be said as if it is equal to not saying it, and it has no substance at all, but in fact it is not.

You must know that Wang Zun and Wang Yuan are the same sect, and now Wang Yuan is accused of saying that he wants to support the army and self-respect, and he wants to secretly communicate with the enemy, as the same sect, he does not say a word for Wang Yuan, doesn't this just show that Wang Yuan does have a problem?

After listening to Wang Zun's reply, Kui Huan didn't feel anything at the time, but after he pondered it carefully, he was shocked into a cold sweat.

If Wang Yuan really wants to support the army and respect himself, or secretly communicate with Liu Xiu, then it will be a big deal, Wang Yuan has an army of 100,000 under his command! Within two days, Kui Huan couldn't wait to send the general Zhou Zong, ordering him to go to Anding immediately, replace Wang Yuan, and take over his own army of 100,000.

When Wang Yuan saw Zhou Zong in the camp and saw the Great King Order brought by Zhou Zong, he was stunned.

Changing generals in battle, this is a taboo for soldiers! Besides, he didn't make any mistakes in stability, and he also conquered Bird County to ensure the logistics supply of his own army, why did the king suddenly replace himself with Zhou Zong?

Wang Yuan's face changed rapidly, and he was silent for a long time, he looked at Zhou Zong and asked in a deep voice, "General Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Change of commander, don't you know that this is a taboo in the army? ”

Zhou Zong and Wang Yuan are old acquaintances, old friends, he shook his head with a wry smile, muttered in his heart, change the commander in battle, do you think I am willing to come?

If it weren't for the king's order, I wouldn't have come here! He didn't answer Wang Yuan's question, but asked, "General Wang, you have been in Yinpan for many days, why are you holding your troops still, why are you not willing to send troops to attack?" ”

Wang Yuan was now on fire to the extreme, his lungs were about to explode, he pointed to the east, and roared loudly: "Our army is now facing the Western Expeditionary Army!" It is the Western Expeditionary Army led by Feng Yi! Is it that easy to fight? ”

Zhou Zong frowned, and said unhappily: "What are you shouting at me?" ”

Wang Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said: "I originally thought that Wang Jie and Wang Meng could make a difference in Wang County and lead away the Western Expeditionary Army, even if it was only a part of the Western Expeditionary Army, I am more sure of this battle." ”

He explained his plan to Zhou Zong as it was.

After Zhou Zong heard this, he suddenly realized and muttered, "I see! However, the king doesn't know your plans, and neither do the ministers! ”
