It is precisely because of this that in the past, the Han army camp never left a large force of soldiers and horses to guard it. Lu Yi and Duan Xuan are so confident, you want to attack my camp, let you attack it. I took the Huanghua camp to use it.

This trick confused Zhang Jin. After Zhang entered and left the city, the Han army camp opened again, and Xu Huang led two thousand tigers and came in violation. Straight to Zhang Jin's rear army.

Seeing that Lu Yi and Duan Xuan had led Zhang in and out, they couldn't help but smile at each other. So Lu Yi went to attack Huanghua's camp, but Duan Xuan put the rear army in front of the army, turned on the spot, and killed Zhang Jin together. As soon as Zhang Jin saw the Han army turn around and attack, he immediately left. Suddenly, a drum sounded behind him, and a Han army was blocking the road, and a general in the middle, with black armor and red robes, laughed and said: "Where is the thief!" ”

Zhang Jin was so frightened that he wanted to flee. Xu Huang chased after him, raised his knife and fell, and waved it into two sections. and returned to him. Zhang Jin died, and the rest of the troops were surrendered.

Duan Xuan ordered Xu Huang to enter the city to pacify the people, and he returned to help Lu Yi attack Huang Hua. Huang Hua was on top of the high-rise building, and when he saw Zhang Jinjun breaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's over." ”

So he went out of the camp and asked to surrender. Ko Yi took Huang Hua and said, "Those who rebel as officials will not be pardoned." "And he beheaded him. was implicated by Huang Hua, and dozens of cronies were killed.

As soon as he finished cleaning the battlefield, he suddenly rode from the west, and when he saw the tragic situation outside the city, he wanted to run. When Koji Yi saw it, he asked the scouts to chase him, but before long, he was captured and returned. As soon as Koji Yi asked, he knew that this was Jiuquan to find Huanghua, and Dunhuang was too guarded to know that the Han army had arrived, so he made Zhang Gong attack Jiuquan, and the counties west of Jiuquan were peaceful.

Koji Yi was overjoyed, so he said to Koji Yi: "I thought that several counties in the west were all thieves, but I never thought that there were still loyal ministers and righteous people in Dunhuang." So he left Xu Huang to guard Zhangye and led the army westward with Duan Xuan.

The governor of Jiuquan did not wait for Huang Hua, but recruited the Han army. Before the general trend of Huanghuang, he had to tie himself out of the city and surrender. Duan Xuan and Koji Yi killed people, without mercy, and immediately cut off the head of the Jiuquan Lieutenant at the city gate, and then said to the soldiers in the city: "The first evil has been punished, and the rest are not concerned." Only then did the soldiers in the city relax their hearts. For the distant imperial court, I was even more in awe of it.

Zhang Gong saw it next to him, envious in his heart, and said secretly, this is the means of my Han family. Those who dare to rebel against the court will be punished.

Lu Yi and Duan Xuan entered the city and began to soothe the people. When the people saw that the Han army was in bright armor and murderous and entered the city, they were afraid and frightened, for fear that the army would enter the city and harm the people indiscriminately. Later, when he saw that the Han army was strictly disciplined, and money was used for buying and selling, and he did not rob or occupy it, he relieved his heart and said happily: "It is really the king of the Han Dynasty." ”

Lu Yi and Duan Xuan summoned Zhang Gong to inquire about the situation in Hexi and the Western Regions, Zhang Gong answered one by one, and the two generals glanced at each other, secretly saying that this son is good. So he followed Zhang Gong all the way west to Dunhuang.

Dunhuang guarded Ma Ai too much, and when he heard that Huang Hua and Zhang Jin were dead, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He bowed to Lu Yi and Duan Xuan: "I haven't heard the news of the Central Plains for a long time, but now I have the help of the second general, how fortunate it is." ”

Ma Ai has been a Taishou in Dunhuang for decades, his hair is gray, the Central Plains is in chaos, and no one cares about him. Seeing that Ma Ai's face was full of frost, Koji Yi also sighed secretly in his heart. So he wrote to Liu Bei. Record the events of the counties in Hexi.

More than a month later, Liu Bei's order came down, Zheng Ma Ai was Shangshu, Biao Zhang Gong was the Dunhuang Taishou, Su Ze was the Jiuquan Taishou, and Yang Fu was the Zhangye Taishou.

Ma Ai got the edict and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said: "The old man also has to return to the Central Plains?" "In these years, the Central Plains' attraction to border counties is still very great. At that time, Ban Chao pacified the Western Regions and guarded the Western Regions for many years, and then he wanted to go back when he was old, so Emperor Shangshu said that the ministers did not dare to look at Jiuquan County, but wished to be born into Yumen Pass. So a grievance old minister who was loyal to the country jumped on the paper, and the emperor felt sour at a glance, so he requisitioned Ban Chao back to the court. The same is true of Ma Ai, he originally thought that he was going to die in Dunhuang, but he never imagined that in his lifetime, there would be a chance to go back.

He also knew that if it weren't for Lu Yi and Duan Xuan to write a book, it was estimated that the imperial court would not have paid attention to him. So it was convenient to set up a banquet in the house and treat the two generals. Knowing that Lu Yi and Duan Xuan had been ordered by the military and wanted to go west into the Western Regions, he smiled at Zhang Gong and said, "You can ask the new Taishou about everything." It has been in Dunhuang for many years, and the affairs of the Western Regions are no less than mine. ”

After Ma Ai cleaned up and stopped in Dunhuang, he brought his family and returned all the way to the east. Lu Yi asked Zhang Gong about the situation in the Western Regions. Zhang Gong explained to Lu Yi and others one by one.

However, it turned out that dozens of countries in the Western Regions, large and small, were attacking and fighting endlessly. At this time, the large countries in the Western Regions were most in Shule, Qiuzi, Khotan, Shanshan, etc. As for Wusun, the great power of the Western Regions back then, it has declined since it split and established its own Kunmi. The same is true of Dawan, who once surrendered to Shache, and after Shache was annexed by Shule, he surrendered to Shule......

Since the end of Emperor Ling, the world has been in turmoil, Hexi and Liangzhou are also in chaos, since the death of Zhang Gong's father Wuji Captain Xing Western Regions Captain Zhang Yan, the imperial court has not appointed a new Western Regions Captain and Wuji Captain. And the countries of the Western Regions have not been in power for many years.

When Lu Yi and Duan Xuan heard this, they also sighed. The Han Dynasty has been in the Western Regions for hundreds of years since Zhang Qian began to pass through, and today, it has become like this. So he said: "The ancestors worked hard and couldn't bear to abandon it, so the general sent me here to restore the Western Regions and make the countries the concubines of the Han Dynasty." ”

So after agreeing with Zhang Gong, he planned to march to the Western Regions.

However, it was said that Zang Ba was in Yanzhou and wanted to kill the Yang family, but Chen Gong and Xiahoudun refused, so he led the army to Mount Tai and drove him out of the city. The Yang family was angry, and he lived well, but he wanted to drive himself out, which was simply unreasonable. Don't you want this family business that has been passed down for more than 100 years?

Zang Ba watched coldly, just waiting for the Yang family to make trouble. At the critical moment, the old man of the Yang family was steady, persuaded and suppressed the young man, packed up the softness, took the clansmen, and traveled all the way north, going to Linyong to find his in-laws Kong Rong and Cai Yong to seek justice.

Zang Ba soldiers Tun Taishan to reject Tai Shi Ci. At this time, in the northern part of Yanzhou, Dongjun, Jibeiguo, and Taishan County have become a border. Zhang Fei and Tai Shici are on this line, and they can strike from any point at any time.

Chen Gong and others also secretly complained, although they used the people of Yanzhou to hinder the footsteps of the Han army going south, but they were scolded on their side. It is a pleasure to set fire to food, but after the fire starts, where it can be controlled, some innocent people will always be affected. And rumors and gossip always appear inexplicably. One will say how many people were burned here, and the other will say how many people were burned there. When the people heard the rumors in the market, they hated Chen Gong and others. Who doesn't have a few relatives in the old family, what if Chen Gong and others set fire to themselves?

Chen Gong and others were anxious in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao was also worried in Yizhou.
