Duan Xuan was arguing with Guo Yan, and suddenly a scout came to report that there were unknown soldiers coming from the rear. Duan Xuan and Guo Yan were suspicious, and they fought twice. Duan Xuan abandoned Guo Yan and led the army to come. I want to see who is coming.

When the soldiers got closer, they saw that it was Zhang Xiu, Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Virtuous nephew, why are you here." "Secretly, he ordered to prepare left and right.

Zhang Xiu saw Duan Xuan, ordered the army to stop, rode out to greet him, saluted on the horse, and said, "Zhang Xiu has seen uncle." ”

Duan Xuan saw that Zhang Xiu had no malicious intentions, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then rode forward to Zhang Xiu and said, "Why aren't you happy in Jingzhou, what are you doing in Huayin?" ”

Zhang Xiu's face smiled bitterly and said: "Cao Cao Nantu Jingzhou, the little nephew is not his opponent, the army is defeated in Nanyang, there is nowhere to go, and he wants to go to the north." This time, I came here to visit my uncle; The second is to pick up the families of the generals and soldiers in the army. ”

Hearing that Zhang Xiu had suffered a defeat in Jingzhou, Duan Xuan's head turned, and he saw that although Zhang Xiu was defeated, there were still thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, so he hid the little caution in his heart. Then warmly welcomed Zhang Xiuxiang to his camp.

Talking on both sides, Zhang Xiu knew that he had been away from Shaanxi County for many years, and so many things had happened in Guanzhong. Over the years, he has set his sights on the Central Plains, and he only knows that the princes of Guanzhong are attacking each other, but he doesn't know that he has fought like this. The sons of Chang'an all went to Anyi, Hedong.

Duan Xuan invited wine, and then asked: "The virtuous nephew is northward, but you want to vote for Yuan Shao?" ”

Zhang Xiu was about to talk, but Jia Xu next to him smiled and said: "That's right, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family in Runan, the son of Yuan Shao's famous family, has Hebei, and looks at the world." We're about to throw it in. However, since the Son of Heaven is in the east of the river, he must not go to the court. ”

In recent years, the Central Plains has suffered a series of wars, and few people have set their sights on Guanzhong. It's as if they've forgotten about it. The princes of Guanzhong also didn't bother to pay attention to the affairs of the Kanto, and only cared about burying their heads in their own small calculations. Seeing Jia Xu say this, Duan Xuan smiled, and said in his heart, it doesn't matter which one you go to vote for, as long as you don't come to grab land with me.

Duan Xuan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, Yuan Shaobing's soldiers are generals, you go all the way to attach, and the people are weak, I am afraid that they are not important." ”

Zhang Xiu said casually: "That's true, doesn't my uncle want to help me with soldiers and horses?" "He was also joking at the banquet, and if he thought I had few soldiers, he would send some men and horses to me.

I thought that Duan Xuan would laugh and avoid answering, who would have thought that Duan Xuan would pat his thigh and said with a smile: "I have this intention, the virtuous nephew is traveling far away, and I have a great gift to be strong with the virtuous nephew." ”

Zhang Xiu was full of interest and asked with a smile: "Where does the etiquette come from?" ”

Duan Xuan said: "The virtuous nephew and I will join forces to defeat Guo Aduo, and you and I will share their troops together, how about it?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was stunned, he sighed again: "Guo Aduo is also a thief, once he is rich, he has repeatedly deceived me." Honest and hateful. If my nephew does not help me, I will die at his hand. ”

Zhang Xiu's heart moved, and the four generals Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou conspired to attack Chang'an together. After punishing Wang Yun and chasing Lu Bu. Li, Guo, and Fan controlled the government, but they squeezed their uncle Zhang Ji out of Chang'an and Yuantun Shaanxi County. Later, after the three generals defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng, they opened the mansion at the same time, and they were called the six mansions with the three dukes. They enjoyed wealth in Chang'an, but they and their uncle lived a miserable life in Shaanxi County. Later, because of the drought and lack of food, the generals of Chang'an did not save them, so they had to go to Jingzhou. Uncle also died in Nanyang because of this. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Xiu made up his mind. When he looked at Jia Xu again, he saw Jia Xu smiling and bowing slightly.

Without hesitation at the moment, Zhang Xiu said: "There was a great drought in Guanzhong that year, Shaanxi County was short of food, and Chang'an was not saved when he saw death. So much so that my uncle went to Jingzhou to get food and died in Nanyang. If this revenge is not avenged, how can it be a son of man! I am willing to follow my uncle's proposal and attack Guo Yan together! ”

Duan Xuan's heart was settled, and he said in his heart, Guo Aduo, you are dead this time! So he squeezed out a few tears and persuaded: "Virtuous nephew, when you and I capture Guo Yan, the thief, we will come to sacrifice Brother Zhang's heroic spirit!" ”

Guo Yan's fief is in Meiyang County, and it can only be reached hundreds of miles from Chang'an. There, it is more remote and desolate than Chang'an. Now Guo Yan doesn't even want to go to Chang'an, let alone go to the fiefdom. The Son of Heaven ran away, and Guo Yan regretted it very much. Li Dao went back to Chiyang, but he set his eyes on Duan Xuan's Huayin.

Duan Xuan has been stationed in Huayin for many years and has run this place quite well. There is a big river here, and there is Luoshui. Duan Xuan took the soldiers and people to the fields here, and survived one famine year after another. Now Guo Yan looked at Duan Xuan and began to blush. Guo Yan was born as a horse thief, and for so many years he only knew about plundering and destruction, but he didn't know about construction and development. His own fiefdom was a mess for him. Not to mention Tuntian, he has always asked the court for food when he ran out of food, and the court didn't give it to him, so he would rob it himself. The warlords in Guanzhong basically follow the same example, you rob me, I rob you. Seven robberies and eight robberies made Chang'an a broken ghost domain.

Guo Yan took a fancy to Duan Xuan's territory, and first asked Duan Xuan for food. Duan Xuan is not something to mess with, you helped me kill Yang Ding before, and I didn't help the Son of Heaven beat you. Now everyone is even, and they don't owe each other. If you want food, you can buy it with money or exchange it for horses and silk.

In the past few years, Guo Yan has always been the only one who robs others, and after hearing Duan Xuan's willingness to do it, he sent troops to attack Duan Xuan. Neither of them is a good person, and once the fight starts, it will be endless. Duan Xuan was also annoyed by Guo Yan, and the two were evenly matched and couldn't hold each other. If it continues to be consumed, it will basically be wiped out. At that time, all the benefits will go to Li Dao, who watched the excitement in Chiyang. When I was worried, Zhang Xiu happened to come. It couldn't have come at a better time.

Guo Yan also found out that Zhang Xiu was coming. Seeing Zhang Xiu enter the Duan Xuan military camp, Guo Yan said badly. So he sent a quick ride to Chiyang to ask for help. On this day, the door of Duan Xuan's camp was wide open, and Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu led their troops out.

When Guo Yan saw it, he also led his troops out of the camp. Seeing Zhang Xiu, he was about to step forward to talk, but Duan Xuan didn't give him this opportunity, and with a big move, he took the lead and led the horse straight into his formation. Zhang Xiu's bravery, which of the generals in Liangzhou doesn't know, if Guo Yan sees Zhang Xiu and moves him with words like himself, then this battle will not be able to be fought. Guo Yan can only die, and he can't surrender or escape.

Zhang Xiu saw that Duan Xuan was in advance, and he was not to be left behind, so he shook his gun and led the crowd to attack. Guo Yan was extremely angry, and said in his heart, Zhang Xiuxiao'er, it seems that you have discussed with Duan Xuan that you are going to put me to death, and you will not let me say a word. Seeing that the situation was not good, Guo Yan turned his horse's head and wanted to lead the crowd back to the camp and wait for help behind closed doors.

Duan Xuan got the momentum of Zhang Xiu, where is he willing to put it. led the crowd to chase after Guo Yan. At this time, Guo Yan's army saw that the main general fled without a fight, and they all dispersed. Only Guo Yan's personal guard followed. Duan Xuan chased after him, but Zhang Xiu led the army to force Guo Yan's subordinates.

Seeing that Guo Yan wanted to escape, Zhang Xiu took a bow and arrow in his hand, looked at Guo Yan's vest, and sent an arrow. Guo Yan fell in response. Duan Xuan was overjoyed when he saw Guo Yan hit the arrow, and approached Guo Yan.

Guo Yan was hit by an arrow in his arm, lying on the ground, and said to Duan Xuan: "Zhongming, beg for my life." ”

Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Borrow Brother Guo's head for a use." As soon as the words fell, the big knife slashed straight down, and Guo Yan's head rolled on the ground a few times, and then it was lifted in Duan Xuan's hand and held high for public display.

When everyone saw Guo Yan die, they all bowed to the ground and asked to surrender. Duan Xuan, Zhang Xiusui and Guo Yanjun.

Chiyang Li Wei got Guo Yan's letter of aid, so he led the army to rescue. When he arrived in Zheng County, he stopped a few dead soldiers, saying that Guo Yan was dead, and everyone surrendered. Li Wei sighed and said, "Why is this so! "After that, lead the army back to Chiyang.
