"Brother Wenyue is old and timid, the spirit of the powerful man is gone, and now he only has the survival of the Xiliang Army in his mind, only the survival of more than 500,000 Xiliang people, but there is no survival of the Han Dynasty, and there is no survival of tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty."

Huangfu Li smashed his fist on the case, and said angrily: "You go back and tell Han Wenyue that if he insists on being an enemy of the imperial court, we would rather kill him than let him be buried in the western frontier." ”

Zhang Meng sat weakly on the seat, his mind in chaos. He was completely confused and didn't know who was right and who was wrong.

Han Sui and Xiliang's civil and military officials saw Zhang Meng staggering into the lobby, their faces were sad and angry, and they were all gloomy.

In recent years, Hebei has been busy conquering the Central Plains and pacifying the world, and they are unable to take care of the western Xinjiang at all, but they resolutely refuse to let the Xiqiang people move into Guanzhong, and at the same time they want to take away Guanzhong and take away the last hope of the Xiliang people.

The people of Xiliang were cornered. If you don't fight, you will retreat to the western frontier, and you will have a dead end. Fighting, defeating and returning to Western Xinjiang is also a dead end. If you don't fight, you will die, and if you fight, there is still one hope left, that is, you will win, firmly occupy Guanzhong, and hold the power of survival tightly in your own hands.

"What if Li Yi comes with the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry? What if he frantically kills into Guanzhong in order to take revenge? ”

This is the biggest worry of the Xiliang generals, no one has the confidence to defeat Li Hong and Li Yi, because over the years, too many people have fallen under Li Yi's butcher's knife, and the Xiliang generals don't think they are stronger than those people.

"After killing the Northeast Frontier Army, there are two possibilities." Han Sui said calmly, "One, in order to take into account the overall situation, Li Yi had no choice but to agree to our conditions and concentrate on capturing Luoyang. Second, in order to drive us back to the western frontier, Li Yi temporarily gave up attacking Luoyang and concentrated all his forces to seize Guanzhong. If you are Li Yi, what choice will you make that is most beneficial to Hebei? ”

All Xiliang Wenwu knew the result. In order to ensure that the Northern Xinjiang Army would take the Central Plains and firmly occupy the advantage of pacifying the world, Li Yi had to choose the first method and take Luoyang. If Li Yi adopts the second method, it is very likely that he will lose all the land south of the Yellow River while occupying Guanzhong, and in the end he can only retreat to the north of the Yellow River, and is forced to accept the unfavorable situation of confrontation across the river and standing on his feet.

"Now, do you have any other opinions?" Han Sui asked lightly.

"Fight." Yang Qiu suddenly pulled out a knife in his hand, chopped it down, and the case was interrupted, "Fight." ”

………………

At the end of September in the fourth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao sent a letter to Han Sui, agreeing with Han Sui's attack strategy, and urgently transferred 80,000 troops from Gao Gan, Zhang Ji and others into Guanzhong to participate in the battle, and ordered Chun Yuqiong to lead 10,000 horses to contain part of the Northern Xinjiang Army in the west of Guanxi.

Han Sui immediately made an appointment with Huangfu Li, agreed to Hebei's request, and let the Northeast Xinjiang Army cross the river into Guanzhong, preparing to join forces to attack Luoyang.

Huangfu Li took Han Sui's recital and returned to Hedong.

………………

At the beginning of October, Hedong, Kasakatsu.

Li Yi urgently ordered Yue Fei, the general of the expedition to the west, and Xu Da, the general of Zhenxi, to immediately command the army to cross the river in batches, and stationed troops at the Qingge ferry port in Xiaqicheng in Fengyi County, and set up a boat bridge to prepare to enter the south bank of the Weishui River.

Huang Zhong and Gao Ran crossed the river first with 16,000 vanguard troops.

"After you arrive in Xiatai, Zhang Shijie's building ship will send grain, grass and ordnance by water." Yue Fei stood on the embankment, pointed to the warships sailing away on the river, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to build the bridge, wait for my order." ”

"What should I say after meeting Han Sui?" Huang Zhong asked, "How many of our troops have entered Guanzhong?" ”

"Two hundred thousand." Yue Fei waved his hand and said, "You tell him that we will have 200,000 troops entering Guanzhong one after another. ”

Huang Zhong and Gao Ran looked at Yue Fei in surprise.

"General, this will scare Han Sui away." Gao Ran asked suspiciously, "Why do you say a lot?" ”

"Will he run?" Yue Fei shook his head and said, "I'm going to force him to make a move early." If we wait for Han Sui to be ready, this battle will be difficult to fight, our losses will be very large, and there will be few Xiliang people left. ”

"Pengju wants to surround Han Sui in Chang'an?" Huang Zhong asked.

"There's this idea." Yue Fei said, "After the lord arrives in Hedong, I will discuss it carefully with him." Since the people of Xiliang didn't want to go back, I had to find a way to drive them back. ”

"It's good to say more, maybe it will make Han Sui change his mind." Huang Zhong sighed and said, "If Han Sui is willing to join forces with us, it will be of great benefit to Guanzhong and Xiliang." ”

"After you go, persuade him more, and hope that he will change his mind." Yue Fei said, "The lord said in his letter that he would personally make an appointment to meet Han Sui once. The battle of Guanzhong, whether to fight or not, after all, the western frontier needs people to defend it, and it cannot be lost to the Qiang people in vain. ”

………………

In early October, Xiliang, Wuwei County, southeast of the Tianqiong Desert.

Gao Changgong, the general of Zhengbei, and Zhang Liao, the general of Anbei, received an urgent order from Li Yi to lead their troops back to Anding and join Hou Junji's cavalry army in Chaona City.

"What, don't you fight Jincheng?" Zhang Liao asked strangely.

Gao Changgong shook his head, handed him Li Yi's letter, and said, "The lord said, leave Xiliang to Han Sui, don't want us to fight." ”

"Don't hit Xiliang?" Xian Yuyin asked hesitantly, "If we don't fight Xiliang, we will have a decisive battle with the Xiliang army in Guanzhong." Han Sui finally occupied Guanzhong, and it was not easy to force him back. ”

"My lord is right." Zhang Liao glanced at the letter hurriedly, handed it to Xian Yuyin and the others, and said, "We have crossed the Yellow River, and the replenishment of grain and grass for tens of thousands of troops is a big problem, and it is safer to fight Han Sui in Guanzhong." ”

"In order to preserve his strength, Han Sui is very likely to retreat without a fight." Gao Changgong said with a smile, "This time, it may be very easy. ”

"It's all for you." Xu Rong laughed and said, "Who will stay?" The cavalry of the Qiang people roamed around Wuwei City, threatening Jincheng at all times, and there could be no army here. ”

Gao Changgong thought for a while and said, "Let Cao Xuan stay, and the rest of the people will return to Chaona." ”

………………

Xiliang Anding County, Xiaoguan.

Hou Junji and Murong Han successfully met in Xiaoguan.

"Sun Li is going to come from Liaodong, it will take a little longer, and it is estimated that he can rush to Chaona in four days." Murong Han looked at Hou Junji and said with a smile, "Are we going to cross Liupan Mountain immediately?" ”

"When Sun Li arrives, we'll leave." Hou Junji looked up at the sky, and beckoned to Murong Han with a smile, "Let's go, I'll pick you up." ”

………………

Hanoi County, Ha Duong City.

Sima Yi stood high on the city tower, stroking the piano and singing.

Suddenly, a rider came and flew into the city gate.

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Sima Yi turned his head to look at Xue Rengui, who was leaning against the city wall and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, smiled slightly, and said, "Finally here......"

………………

Yuan Shao personally led an army of 10,000 to Mengjin, and together with Liu Bei's 20,000 horses, a total of 30,000 troops, launched an attack on Hanoi.

Sima Yi and Xue Rengui had already made preparations, and in the past half a month, they had set up a solid defensive position at several ferry crossings on the north bank of the Yellow River. All kinds of blocking facilities such as rejecting horses, deer barricades, trenches, Fengyuan, and small beacon earth platforms, as well as heavy ordnance such as crossbow trucks and catapults, were densely scattered within 15 miles of each ferry port. The soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army stood behind the various defensive positions, stubbornly holding back the rebels.

The two sides fought for five days, and Yuan's army suffered heavy losses. Lu Hong, Zhao Rui, He Mao and others suggested that Yuan Shao immediately stop the attack and reformulate the attack strategy.

In the face of the iron bucket-like defense of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the Yuan army was at a loss and could only rely on a strong attack to advance step by step. However, the losses of the army were too great, and if the attack strategy was not changed in time, the army would have lost its attack power before it advanced to the area of Heyang and Wenxian.

Yuan Shao was very angry. Xue Rengui, who was stationed in Hanoi, was a nobody, while Sima Yi used to be an ordinary official. There are many famous generals in the Northern Xinjiang Army, but Li Yi sent these two young men to garrison Hanoi, and only gave them 10,000 horses, making it clear that he looked down on himself.

"Originally, I couldn't fight anymore." Liu Bei saw that Yuan Shao was annoyed and angry, and he had no intention of stopping the attack at all, so he hurriedly persuaded, "In five days, we lost 1,200 people and advanced five miles. The opponent hid in a strong defensive position, and the losses were very small, at most a hundred or ten casualties. This battle cannot be fought again. ”

"These two little bastards...... "The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more he was sucked, his face turned blue with anger, and he slapped his palm on the desk. I lost the first battle this year, and I lost it in the hands of two unknown people, and I lost my old face.

"Originally, judging from this attack, the strategy of the Northern Xinjiang Army to hold on to Hanoi was very clear. They were very well prepared, and their defensive positions were airtight and invulnerable, which shows that the main direction of attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army this year is not in Hanoi, but in the direction of Xingyang and Yingchuan. Yuan Zhong also persuaded, "Our purpose in fighting Hanoi was originally to test the Northern Xinjiang Army, and we wanted to judge the target of the Northern Xinjiang Army this year through this battle." Now that we have achieved our goal, we can slow down the offensive and form a confrontation situation, so as to contain the Northern Frontier Army in Hanoi. ”

Although Yuan Shao was still angry, he also agreed with Liu Bei and Yuan Zhong's opinions. At this moment, it is really unnecessary to consume troops on the battlefield in Hanoi.

However, it is too ugly to retreat to the bank of the Yellow River in such a gray manner. Can't even beat two unknown juniors?

Just when Yuan Shao was in a dilemma, the senior cadres in the direction of Tongguan sent someone to send an urgent report that the Northeast Xinjiang Army had crossed the river.

Gao Gan said: "The Battle of Guanzhong is about to begin, please ask my uncle to make a counteroffensive posture on the Central Plains battlefield as much as possible to attract Hebei's attention and respond to the Guanzhong battlefield." ”

Yuan Xi of Nanyang also wrote to Yuan Shao. Zhang Lu has already sent his daughter to Nanyang and is about to marry him. Considering the situation in Yizhou and Hanzhong, he planned to get married in Nanyang first, and then go to Hanzhong to meet Zhang Lu to discuss the joint attack on Yizhou. (To be continued.) )
