said that after Zhang Yan expressed his heart to Cui Yan, the guests and hosts dispersed happily. Early the next morning, Zhang Yan came over, caught Cui Yan and asked, "Ji Jue, I don't know how the general wants me to act?" ”

Cui Yan saw that Zhang Yan couldn't wait, so he said slowly: "Feiyan (Zhang Yan's character) don't worry, the lord has his own decision." And wait here. After yesterday's banquet, Cui Yan and Zhang Liao discussed, and then sent two people to rush all the way to Liu Bei's office.

I can't complain that Zhang Yan is anxious, after revealing his heart yesterday, he talked to Cui Yan, and then he learned that the emperor of Chang'an had gone to Liu Bei. Now Liu Bei has more Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Duan Xuan and other military forces. It's really a strong soldier. Now Yuan Shao has suffered defeats in Yijing and Gaoliu, and the high-ranking cadres in Bingzhou have been surrounded. At this time, the two sides were mobilizing troops and horses to accumulate strength. Seeing that a big war is about to break out, it is the time for oneself to perform, which is related to the ranking of meritorious deeds in the future, how can you not be in a hurry?

However, it was said that Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's two armies led the army, infiltrated Daijun, and after traveling to Gaoliu, they went to knock on the city. The guard general is the younger brother of Yan Rou, and when he heard that the Qingzhou army was coming, he was overjoyed and went out of the city to greet him. The banquet told the past. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun listened and said: "The military situation ahead is urgent, so we will go to Pingcheng to aid Hansheng." "So he stayed in Tian Yu to guard Gaoliu to protect the grain road. lest the army arrive at Pingcheng, but the back road is copied by the annexation of the state.

From Youzhou to attack and merge with the state, the best place is to go to Pingcheng. Outside of here, the rest of the place is surrounded by mountains, and the roads are difficult to navigate. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun rode lightly all the way and went straight to the territory of Pingcheng, so that someone could report to Huang Zhong. Before long, Huang Zhong and Yan Rou personally led the army to greet them.

Far away, I heard Huang Zhong's laughter: "Yide, Zilong, don't come to harm!" "Huang Zhongjiu Town Liaodong, except for the return to Qingzhou, the generals rarely see each other.

Zhang Fei listened to Huang Zhong's voice, hurriedly stepped forward, and the two saw each other from afar, turned over and dismounted at the same time, walked forward, and laughed with his arms. In this life, Huang Zhong, Yan Yan, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu are almost all Liu Bei's affairs, and they have already followed the left and right, and they can be said to be the old ministers. This friendship is much deeper than that of the generals who later fell in kind.

When the generals saw it, they talked to each other, and when they arrived at the camp, Zhang Fei said: "Brother Hansheng, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Huang Zhong said: "That high-ranking cadre is quite capable, Pingcheng is strong, and there is foreign aid, and between eagerness, I and my son and I can't attack it." Every day the soldiers shouted and cursed and fought, but they did not come out, but guarded the city behind closed doors. It is with us and the high-level cadres that we have been circling so far. However, with the help of Yide and Zilong, it is easy to break. "There are still some things that are difficult to say, but all the generals are there, but Huang Zhong is not easy to say. That is the army led by Yan Rou, which is subordinate to Youzhou, and it is difficult to command it like the Qingzhou Army. The two armies coordinated to attack the city several times, and each time it was Youzhou soldiers and horses who dragged back.

Yan Rou has always been very cooperative, and the Youzhou Army cannot be said to have failed to sell his life. It's just that although the Youzhou Army can also be called elite, there is still a gap compared to the Qingzhou Army. The most obvious gap is military discipline. These arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, when they kill people, they all don't blink their eyes. But in this troubled era, there are more martial artists who carry knives and kill people. And what Huang Zhong wants is to prohibit you, let you enter, let you retreat; If you are asked to block the knife wall and the tip of the gun, you have to go. In this regard, the Youzhou Army is still far behind.

At this time, more than 100 miles around Pingcheng, all the main roads and high places were full of scouts of the Qingzhou army, who monitored the enemy's every move, and then quickly reported to the battalion.

In the camp, Huang Zhong received a report, invited the generals, and then said: "Yuan Shaojun has not yet arrived, fortunately!" Now Yide and Zilong are here, I want to attack Baideng first and cut off an arm of Pingcheng. What do you think? ”

Huang Zhong could not do his best every time he attacked the city, because Bai Deng had an enemy army and wanted to prevent him from coming out to attack the camp. Huang Zhong and Yan Rou didn't think about knocking down Bai Shan first, but Bai Shan had a geographical advantage, which was even more difficult than the defenders of Pingcheng. If you send fewer soldiers, you won't be able to defeat them; As soon as the army was exhausted, the defenders of Baiden calmly retreated from the other side. After all, the city was leveled and the city was surrounded, and the senior cadres could only fight with the Qingzhou army. Unlike the Baideng defenders, yes, with a mountain bandit, when the situation is urgent, they will run all over the mountain.

The generals looked at the map, what else is there to say, everyone here is used to fighting, how can others snore on the side of the couch, they have threatened to attack Baideng first, and then draw the city.

Zhang Fei rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Han Sheng, although you command, I want to take the lead!" ”

Yan Rou is a guest general in Youzhou, and Zhao Yun is generous by nature, but he does not fight with him. Huang Zhong glanced at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, when I and Zihe attacked Baideng before, the defenders under Baishan Mountain were defeated, so they retreated to the mountain. I have made it clear that the mountain road here leads to Baideng Qianshan, and there is a trail to Pingcheng. This time, I and Zihe will follow the previous plan, re-attack Baideng, Yide and Zilong can lead the army at the foot of the mountain here, lurking in the road, if you see the enemy coming, the army is exhausted, and a battle can be broken. ”

When the generals heard this, they felt that it was reasonable, and they began to think about it. On this day, the three armies finished eating, the drums rumbled, and the trumpets sounded. Huang Zhong and Yan Rou raised their armies and went to attack Baishan Mountain.

Gao Gan is in Pingcheng, above the tall building, I see the banner waving, and a long dragon path goes to Baishan Mountain. The deputy general next to him saw it and sneered: "Huang Zhong is a famous general in vain, knowing that Bai Mountain's mountain has been repeatedly attacked, and he wants to attack it, why bother!" ”

When Gao Gan heard this, his heart moved, and he pondered for a long time, and then ordered to say left and right: "Go to Baideng quickly, tell the guards, and order them to guard the city tightly to prevent Huang Zhong." If there is disharmony, you can retreat quickly. ”

Behind Gao Gan, the junior colonel went away as ordered, but the adjutant general was suspicious: "General, why is this so?" ”

Gao Gan held the sword at his waist with his left hand, and let the mountain wind blow the cloak behind him. Looking at the direction of Bai Mountain, his face was heavy, and he said: "I know that I can't do it, Huang Zhong is the general of Qingzhou, how can it be like this?" When things go wrong, there must be demons! ”

The adjutant general thought for a while, and said in surprise: "In this way, it is possible that Bai Mountaineering will be lost, general, why don't I wait for Pingcheng and lead the army to attack Huang Zhong." ”

Bai Deng has something to do, and Pingcheng comes to his aid; Pingcheng has something to do, and Bai Deng comes to his aid. This is also one of the reasons why the Bai Mountaineer guards are not afraid of Huang Zhong and Yan Rou. There is also a favorable location, and there are reinforcements close at hand, I am afraid of where you will come.

Gao Gan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, the terrain of Baishan Mountain is dangerous, and it is easier to defend and difficult to attack than my Pingcheng." When it really can't hold on, it will naturally come to ask for help. Pingcheng is important and cannot be lost. ”

There is a reason why they did not come to the aid immediately. When Huang Zhong and Yan Rou attacked Baishan Mountain for the first time, Gao Gan saw it, fearing that Bai Deng would lose, and rushed to save him, who would have thought that Huang Zhong made Yan Rou attack Bai Deng, but he set up an ambush in the middle of the road. If it weren't for the fact that the senior cadres saw the opportunity early and led the army to retreat, they were afraid that the battle would have fallen into Huang Zhong's army.

And Gao Gan is also a person who likes to use tricks, before in Gaoliu, he surrounded Gaoliu to lead Yan Rou reinforcements, and he led the army to set up an ambush in the road, but in the end he was defeated by Huang Zhong, who suddenly appeared. With these two profound lessons, Gao Gan did not go out of the city easily. Unless Bai Deng's side sent someone to report the emergency, he would sit firmly in the city and remain motionless.
