"After the position of Liangzhou pastor, the soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Jin are elite, but the people who rely on the siege of the city are thunderbolts and bed crossbows, if you can get these two things, then Liangzhou is worry-free, otherwise once the Marquis of Jin pacifies Chang'an, the army will send Liangzhou, how can Liangzhou resist." Han Sui said.

Ma Teng said: "The thunderbolt and the bed crossbow are very important, how can the Marquis of Jin easily inform others of the method of building, and even if the Marquis of Jin hands over the method of building the bed crossbow to us, I am afraid that the range of the bed crossbow is far inferior to the bed crossbow of the state army." At this point, Ma Teng still sees it relatively clearly, when it comes to the background, the Yuan family, which has the name of the fourth world and the third prince, is many times stronger than the Ma family, but the bed crossbow in Jizhou is far inferior to the state in terms of range.

"Shoucheng, if there is a bed crossbow and a thunderbolt, when we face the army in the future, we still have some chance of winning, otherwise, wouldn't it be slaughtered by others."

"Let's talk about this matter after I meet the Marquis of Jin." Ma Teng said.

Ma Chao on the side heard the conversation between the two, and was a little dissatisfied with Han Sui in his heart, from the initial desire to watch the construction drawings of the thunderbolt car to the position of Liangzhou pastor, he was sure that this was Han Sui's deliberate doing, but Ma Teng and him were sworn brothers, he didn't say much, and since he was a child, Ma Teng told him how righteous Han Sui was, and he greatly respected Han Sui in his words.

"If you want to attack Chang'an and break through Longguan first, I don't know what Brother Wen Yue thinks?" Ma Teng asked, in contrast, he is most concerned about breaking Chang'an, although the world is in turmoil and the princes attack each other for the sake of interests, in his bones Ma Teng still hopes that the Han family can be revitalized, in the past he was one of the princes, but when it comes to strength, there is a big gap with other princes, if he can break through Chang'an, his reputation in Liangzhou will be greatly improved.

Han Sui said with a smile: "This matter is extremely easy, if the Marquis of Jin is willing to help with a hundred thunderbolts, it will be a matter of effort to capture Longguan." ”

"Now there are 100 thunderbolts in our army." Ma Teng wondered.

"The thunderbolt car that my brother said was from Jinyang." Han Sui said.

"If our army's thunderbolt can't break through Longguan, then ask the Marquis of Jin for help." Ma Teng said.

Han Sui shook his head secretly, Ma Tengyong was brave, but he lacked enough resourcefulness, Lu Bu handed over the method of building the thunderbolt car to him, if there was a thunderbolt made by Jinyang plus the drawings, wouldn't it be much easier to build a more powerful thunderbolt.

After Han Sui left, Ma Chao said: "Father, the child must be trying to plot the method of building a thunderbolt car. ”

Ma Teng didn't pay attention to the disrespect for Han Sui in Ma Chao's tone, and nodded: "The method of building a thunderbolt is very important, and Meng Qi will put it away." ”

Ma Chao nodded yes, and was a little wary of Han Sui in his heart.

In June of the same year, Hanyang Taishou Ma Teng united Jincheng Taishou Han Sui, on the order of the general Lu Bu, the two sides sent a total of 20,000 troops, with Ma Chao as the vanguard of the army, and sent troops from Hanyang to enter the territory of Chang'an, Longguan is the place that must be passed.

Longguan, the pass of Longshan, is located in the west of Chang'an, when Wang Mang usurped power, placed four passes around Chang'an, respectively, East Hangu Pass, West Longguan, Nanwu Pass, North Xiao Pass.

The west slope of Longguan is steep, the surrounding mountains are shielded, only a canyon between the peaks can reach the pass, there is the trend of "a husband when the pass is not opened", Longguan is the traffic fortress that runs through the east and west since ancient times, after crossing the Longshan Mountain, it can reach Sichuan Shu in the south, go to Hanyang and Wudu in the west, go to the north to settle down, the north, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others naturally understood the importance of the checkpoints around Chang'an, except for the Kei Pass, which fell into the hands of Lu Bu, the rest of the checkpoints were guarded by soldiers.

Although Longguan is in disrepair, it is also extremely majestic.

Li Cheng, the general of Longguan, saw that the Xiliang army led by Ma Chao was quite majestic, and did not dare to underestimate it.

Beidi County, after Li Ru received the letter sent by Guo Yan, his brows were furrowed, for this time Lu Bu united Ma Teng and Han Sui to attack Chang'an, he did not plan to mix in it, the most important thing at present is to let Beidi County retain its strength in this war, and lay the foundation for Lu Bu to sweep and merge the state in the future, if Guo Yan hadn't recognized the identity of him and Niu Fu, he would not have been so anxious to go to Bingzhou to join Lu Bu.

Li Dao and Guo Yan's generation were shouted and beaten, and he, Li Ru, did not dare to reveal the slightest news, once the counties of Liangzhou knew his identity, even if he had Lu Bu behind him, it would be difficult to protect it.

"Wen You, since the Marquis of Jin sent troops and horses to attack Chang'an, why don't we directly lead the troops to take refuge, with the strength of the Marquis of Jin, who dares to oppose it." Niu Fu was puzzled.

Li Ru shook his head slightly, "Beidi County can't give up, this time Guo Yan wants me to attack Hanyang and contain Ma Teng, but he gave me a chance." ”

"What chance?" Ushisuke asked.

"The opportunity to sweep away peace and stability, and now Anding is in chaos, all over the country has self-respect, and keeps giving orders, the position of the Taishou of Anding County has been vacant, if it can capture Anding County at a very fast speed, it will be the greatest help for the Marquis of Jin." Li Ru said slowly, Ma Teng's plot to stabilize the county did not happen overnight, but because of the strength of Li Dao Guo Yan and others in Chang'an, he did not dare to act rashly, for fear of attracting Li Dao Guo Yan to attack Hanyang.

At this time, Chang'an was about to fall into war, and Ma Teng's troops to attack Longguan was their opportunity.

"Everything is subject to Wen You's words." Niu Fu hugged his fist, after breaking through Chang'an, if it wasn't for Li Ru's plan, he would have died in Chang'an City, for Li Ru, Niu Fu has always admired him very much, both of them were the most trusted people in Dong Zhuo's lifetime, and there was no dirt between Guo Yan and Li Dao and others.

For Li Dao and Guo Yan's generation, Niu Fu only hated him, Dong Zhuo trusted Li Dao and Guo Yan very much before his death, but after the two united forces to break through Chang'an, they wantonly slandered Dong Zhuo.

"The general can secretly reply to Guo Yan to wait for changes in the war in Chang'an." Li Rudao.

Lu Bu sent troops to attack Chang'an, which was the beginning of Beidi County's transition from the secret to the open, although Beidi County did not have Hanyang and entered the city richly, there were 6,000 available soldiers, most of these 6,000 people were Niu Fu's old department, and their combat effectiveness was strong.

Once he occupied Anding County and Beidi County, Lu Bu would be able to quickly open up the situation in Liangzhou.

In June, the 60,000-strong army was assembled in Anyi, and Lü Bu led the army in the direction of Chang'an, and the city fell in the wind along the way.

These cities were originally abandoned by Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, and the loss of Jiguan made them lose the best barrier to resist the state army, and the soldiers who stayed in the cities were all old and weak, and in the face of tens of thousands of troops, how could they have the heart to resist.
