Yuan Shao picked up a roll of bamboo slips from the desk and said, "This is Zhang Yang's letter to me. He had already told me about his meeting with Lü Bu www.biquge.info begged me to send someone to the Huanshui River to take over his command of the army, and that he would be willing to return to Hanoi to supervise the transportation of grain and grass. ”

"This trick may not work." Guo Tu thought for a while and said, "This kind of major event related to the survival of Hebei, Li Yi is bound to be cautious and will not easily believe Zhang Yang's words." ”

But Li Yi has always been dangerous. In order to defeat Cao Cao quickly, he may take risks. Feng Ji said, "If he retreats to Yecheng and holds it with 20,000 people, we will definitely not be able to take it in a short time." This is a foolproof strategy, why doesn't he dare to take risks? ”

"The retreat of the soldiers to Yecheng will have too great an impact on Hebei, and it will make the people of Hebei panic." Fu Zhi pondered for a long time, and said slowly, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, or Li Yi has an absolute certainty of victory, he will not retreat to Yecheng." ”

Speaking of this, Fu Zhu looked at Yuan Shao and said, "If you want to do it, be thorough and force Zhang Yang to rebel." ”

"Forced to fight back?" Yuan Shao looked at Fu Zhu in surprise, "This won't work." ”

"The plan of deception is too big a loophole, once it is discovered, it will backfire, and only by forcing Zhang Yang to win Li Yi's trust." Fu Zhi said resolutely, "After Zhang Yang surrendered, can the lord really trust him as before?" Will the lord entrust Hanoi to him? I'm afraid the lord won't dare, right? ”

Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly showed a hint of annoyance.

"Lord, the lord and this plan, I think it is foolproof." Xu You arched his hand and persuaded, "Compared with the lord's hegemony, what is a flamboyance?" People like Zhang Yang abound under the main account, and any one is better than Zhang Yang. To tell the truth, Zhang Yang's character is too cowardly, it is difficult to take on a big matter, and sooner or later he will bring trouble to the lord, so it is better to take this opportunity to drive him to Hebei, which can be regarded as saving the lord from a disaster. ”

Yuan Shao was so angry that he slapped his palm on the case, his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't scold it after all, pointed at Xu You and said, "You can do this." ”

In early June, Guanzhong, Fufeng County, Chencang City.

Han Sui led 3,000 elite cavalry to suddenly enter the pass.

Ma Teng's son, Ma Chao, the general of Fufeng County, was caught off guard and hurriedly led his troops to block the attack, and the two sides met in Chencang.

Ma Chao rode out of the city alone, and the disciples worshipped Han Sui. Han Sui sat on the horse and accepted it calmly, because Ma Chao was indeed his disciple.

"Uncle, before my father left, there was a book to my uncle, and my uncle replied that you and my brothers will never kill each other, ...... today" Ma Chao was panicked, walked to Han Suima and bowed down and asked, "Why is Uncle ...... today?"

"Meng Qi, you misunderstood, I didn't come to attack Guanzhong, let alone kill your father and brother." Han Sui slowly dismounted, patted him on the shoulder with a kind expression, and said, "The imperial court has a holy decree for me, telling me to send troops to Guanzhong, contain Yuan Shao's troops, and help the general defeat the rebellion." ”

When Ma Chao heard the word "rebellion", his face was angry, but he still bowed his head respectfully and remained silent.

Han Sui smiled slightly and said, "Although there is a bit of a misunderstanding between me and your father, we are brothers after all, and I will not meet him in battle, but I can't resist the order, so I led the troops here, but I will stop here, and I will not go any further." ”

Ma Chao raised his head in surprise and shouted gratefully: "Uncle......"

Han Sui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although I can't take another step, you can, this is your place." ”

"Uncle, go and live in the city." Ma Chao said respectfully, "I haven't seen my uncle for almost two years, and I have a lot of things I want to ask my uncle." ”

"I can't go, it's not good for you." Han Sui shook his head and suddenly asked, "I heard that you have a child?" ”

Ma Chao blushed and smiled shyly.

"I'm going to be here for a while." Han Sui pointed to the big camp behind him on the bank of the Weishui River, and said with a kind smile, "If you have time, bring the child to me." ”

Ma Chao nodded happily and said, "Uncle, can I come to see you often?" ”

Han Sui touched his head affectionately and replied, "Of course." ”

In early June, Chang'an.

After more than a year of restoration of Chang'an City, in addition to the burned Weiyang Palace, which was not rebuilt, some other government offices and residences have been rebuilt, and the residents in the city have gradually increased, but compared with Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital to Chang'an, the city is still very deserted.

The population of Sanfu was about one million at the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and after several years of war and continuous disasters, the population decreased dramatically, although Yuan Shao tried every means to move back from Jingzhou and Yuzhou, but now there are only about 100,000 people, including a part of the army stationed in Guanzhong.

If you want to restore the prosperity of Guanzhong, it is impossible to do it without more than ten years.

The former Jing Zhaoyin's government office is now Yuan Tan's official office.

Yuan Tan sat in the study, looking through the urgent reports sent from all over the place, while stooping down at the desk and looking at the map.

From the time Han Sui sent troops to Guanzhong and confronted Chen Cang with Ma Chao, the situation in Guanzhong suddenly became tense.

First, Zhang Liao, a fierce general from Hebei, led his army out of Liupan Mountain and captured Linjing City in one day. The defender of Linjing City said that Zhang Liao brought tens of thousands of troops, which were overwhelming and could not be stopped, so he had to abandon the city and leave.

Yuan Tan thinks that this person is lying, purely to find an excuse for his timidity. According to his information, there were only 3,000 iron cavalry at most in the area of Xiaoguan and Chao in the north of Liupan Mountain, and even if Zhang Liao brought the iron cavalry south from the desert, his total strength would not exceed 10,000.

At present, several cities south of Anding County are all lost, but they are not fought by Zhang Liao, but given to him by his own subordinates.

Thinking of these timid subordinates, Yuan Tan was angry. The heart said that when you return to Chang'an City, I will chop you into mashed meat.

However, this kind of bloody punishment is just thinking about it in his heart, Yuan Tan will not kill them anyway, and it is up to them to gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong and create a foundation.

The latest news sent shows that the world-shattering northern Xinjiang warrior has entered Guanzhong and is in Qi County.

Han Sui and Zhang Liao had not yet thought of a solution, and Yue Fei in Hedong began preparations to cross the river and attack again. In recent days, the warships of the Northern Xinjiang Navy have frequently haunted the Weishui River, apparently to probe the military situation.

Now Han Sui is coming from the west, Zhang Liao is coming from the north, Yue Fei is about to cross the river from the east, and Guanzhong is being attacked from three sides, and it is a headache to think about.

Could it be that Hebei's strength is strong enough to fight in two battlefields at the same time? Since Hebei can fight in two battlefields, then Li Yiwei does not throw all his strength into the Jizhou battlefield, but wants to let the crusading army enter Jizhou?

The three-way attack here in Guanzhong must be Hebei's feint attack and containment strategy, in order to force my father to withdraw his army and force my father to give up this crusade.

Hebei did not have the strength to take Guanzhong.

Changshi Liu Xian hurriedly walked into the study. Yuan Tan hurriedly got up to greet him, his expression was quite humble, and asked, "Sir, is there any news from the west?" ”

Liu Xian replied: "Han Sui only has 3,000 people. ”

Yuan Tan's face changed, he sat down slowly, and asked in disbelief, "Really?" Reliable? ”

Liu Xian nodded and said, "Ma Chao said that Han Sui brought 10,000 troops to Chencang, but in fact Han Sui only brought 3,000 people. Ma Chao said that he fought fiercely with Han Sui in Chencang day and night, but I got the news that Ma Chao and Han Sui have not fought so far. Moreover, the two have a close relationship, and it is said that Ma Chao also took his wife and children to visit Han Sui a few days ago. ”

Yuan Tan was silent, his face suspicious. He and Ma Chao have a good relationship, the two can talk very well and are called brothers.

"Ma Chao is deceiving the eldest prince." Liu Xian said nervously, "Why did he deceive the eldest prince?" It's a big deal. ”

Yuan Tan thought about it carefully, waved his hand, and said, "Don't think too much. Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers, Ma Chao is Han Sui's nephew, and he is also Han Sui's disciple, it is normal for the two to get closer. Han Sui doesn't attack, Ma Chao doesn't fight, what's wrong with such a tacit understanding? That's good. ”

Liu Xian wanted to explain a little clearly, but was interrupted by Yuan Tan, and he said unhappily: "Since the west is safe, what about the north?" How many iron horsemen did Zhang Liao bring? ”

"It's hard to find out." Liu Xian sighed, "They are like horse thieves, coming and going, flickering east and west, maybe they will be killed under Chang'an City tomorrow morning." ”

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "So, Zhang Liao's purpose is to scare me?" Then leave him alone. What about the east side? Is there any movement in Yue Fei and Xu Da's army? ”

"There are no signs of an attack across the river yet." Liu Xian said, "Just now I heard Mr. Xian Pei say that he plans to go to Hedong to see it in person. ”

Yuan Tan was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go and find death?" No, no, no. ”

In early June, Huanshui River, Feng Ting.

Xu You hurried to the Hanoi army camp and handed Yuan Shao's letter to Zhang Yang.

After Zhang Yang read the letter, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "I have Lu Bu's elite iron cavalry in the northern frontier in front of me, and Sima Ju's elite infantry in the northern frontier, and it is difficult for my 20,000 people to break through their resistance, so I ......."

"You have already read the letter of the lord, and you know the lord's intentions." Xu You pointed to the map on the desk with some annoyance and said, "If we can't break through the blockade of the Northern Xinjiang Army and kill Yecheng, Cao Cao will inevitably stop after hitting Ganling City, so no matter what the cost is, we must complete this goal in mid-June." ”

Zhang Yang sighed. He never thought that Yuan Shao's purpose in fighting this battle was not to quell the rebellion, nor to pacify the world, but for his own hegemony.

What is Yuan Shao's hegemony, Zhang Yang can more or less see a point, last year's words and five virtues have always said that the intention of "Yuan's generation of Han" has been completely exposed. If it weren't for Cao Cao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei's sudden action to rebuild the imperial system with the strength of the three alliances, it would be difficult to say what the situation in the world is today.
