Chapter 777

On September 25, Yongzhou's troops finally moved. Seeing that the juncture of Guandong's princes and Sizhou had already moved, Guo Li of Chang'an was finally moved. So after discussion, they decided to join forces to attack Qin Hangu pass controlled by Sizhou's troops in Hongnong.

After dividing up the three counties of Yongzhou, Guo and Li found that they had nothing to do with each other, so they had to give up temporarily. In addition to the three or five thousand garrisons in the cities below, most of their troops were concentrated in Chang'an and several surrounding cities, with 60000 troops each. Among them, there are about ten thousand iron cavalry and thirty thousand infantry in Xiliang. In addition, there are twenty thousand troops of fan Hou in Chang'an city. After each of them sent out twenty-five thousand troops, there are ten thousand infantry and five thousand cavalry in the city.

For the safety of Chang'an City, they urged fan hou to send 10000 troops, a total of 60000 troops to Hongnong.

A few days later, 60000 troops finally arrived at Tongguan. After half a day's rest, they moved eastward again and arrived at the foot of Qin Hangu pass.

After a day's rest, on September 30, the three men's coalition began to attack Hangu pass, and the war in the west of Sizhou was finally ignited.

As early as when Chang'an's troops were dispatched, Huangfu Chaobo received the news from Chang'an. When he saw Guo and Li, he finally couldn't help it. Huangfu Chaobo knew that his troops in Yongzhou had to be dispatched. However, how Xu Rong's troops and horses can safely pass through the heavily defended Guanzhong Plain is a headache.

You know, Guo Si had three or five thousand troops in all the cities of youfufeng, while Xu Rong had only twenty thousand troops, but nearly fifty thousand family members went out with the army. Huangfu Chaobo's purpose was to take advantage of this opportunity to take all the family members of Xu Rong's troops out of Guanzhong and set them up in another place.

If Xu Rong leads the troops to Chang'an, it is difficult to guarantee that the cities will send troops to harass the rear of the army. As for Xu Rong's 20000 troops, it is very likely that they will ignore their heads.

However, at this point, we can no longer look forward and backward. Once Guo, Li and fan attack Hongnong with all their strength, the pressure of Sizhou will be doubled. If Hongnong is really lost, Henan county will be unstable. So Huangfu Chaobo just thought a little and ordered Xu Rong to prepare for sending troops. Once the time is ripe, he will send troops to Chang'an and attract Guo Lifan's 60000 troops back to Chang'an.

With the command of Huangfu Chaobo, Xu Rong of Chencang immediately made the army ready to send troops. At the same time, the headquarters of Hengjiang camp of zhoutai in Fenglingdu were also ready. When the time was ripe, Hengjiang camp broke through Tongguan water stronghold, and then led the army into Weishui, making a gesture of marching westward along Weishui to attack Chang'an.

After a day's attack on Hangu pass, the Xiliang army found that they had suffered a heavy loss. After being reminded, Guo and Li suddenly remembered that they had forgotten the best candidate for cannon fodder, so they quickly gave Xu Rong's Department of Chencang a whip, asking him to leave 5000 troops to guard SHANGUAN and Chencang, and lead 15000 troops to support Hangu pass.

In their view, Xu Rong and Huangfu Chaobo's grudge, received the order of Xu Rong will certainly come to Hangu pass as soon as possible to participate in the war. What they didn't expect was that it was their orders that made Xu Rong find a grand reason. He went through the tightly guarded hinterland of Guanzhong and arrived at the foot of Chang'an city.

After the order was issued, Guo and Li ordered the army to stop attacking and quietly waited for Xu Rong's army to arrive.

What I didn't expect was that a few days later, they were waiting for news that Xu Rong was fighting against Chang'an city with tens of thousands of troops. According to the news from Chang'an, Xu Rong's army seems to have 50000 or 60000 people, far more than 20000 people they know.

Although there are three people with a total of 40000 troops in Chang'an today, there are no generals who can compete with Xu Rong. In addition, they are not in the city. The two people who get the news are no longer willing to attack Hangu pass, so they quickly set up camp to rescue Chang'an.

Before the army arrived at Tongguan, they received an urgent report from the water army of Tongguan. The water army of Sizhou army suddenly attacked Tongguan water stronghold, as if they were going to enter the Wei River.

In this way, they didn't know that Xu Rong had taken refuge with Huangfu Chaobo. Although they couldn't think of their elder sister, they were scared to death by the news. After ordering the trusted general to lead the soldiers back to Chang'an, they led their 10000 cavalry back to Chang'an for rescue.

A few days later, when Guo and Li led their cavalry to Chang'an, Xu Rongbu had stopped attacking the city, and 20000 troops had retreated to Wei bridge. At the other end of Wei bridge, beside a town called du you by the Weishui River, a battalion of tens of thousands of people had already been set up. At this time, the fleet of Sizhou water army had also broken through Tongguan water stronghold and was heading for Chang'an.

According to the situation that the Tongguan guard saw from the pass, the Sizhou Navy escorted ten big boats all the way to the west this time. According to the fact that one big boat could carry more than a thousand soldiers, the Sizhou army was as many as 50000 or 60000.

Although they had already returned to Chang'an, they were scared to hide in the city by the news from the Tongguan garrison. On the one hand, they tried their best to reinforce the city defense, and on the other hand, they kept urging more than 50000 soldiers still in Huayin to come back as soon as possible.

They couldn't figure out where Xu Rong's army of 50000 or 60000 came from, and the Sizhou army had been attacked on all sides. Where did they gather their army of 50000? Huangfu Chaobo really wanted to take down Chang'an, and then retired from Chang'an just like the grand master?At the thought of this possibility, Guo and Li dare not go out of the city.

Three days later, when 50000 soldiers arrived in Chang'an, their courage was enough, because their troops, together with fan Hou's 20000 troops, were 80000 or 90000 troops in Chang'an. Even Xu Rongjia's superior state water army brought in only 100000 troops. It's just a dream to attack Chang'an City defended by nearly 100000 troops.

Then they led tens of thousands of cavalry out of Chang'an, but when they arrived at Weiqiao, they found that Xu Rong's tens of thousands of troops and Sizhou water army disappeared overnight.

Angry two people this just discover, oneself was cheated by Xu Rong. They sent thousands of cavalry down the Weishui River, and finally caught up with the Sizhou fleet in the Weishui river of Zheng county.

However, even so, the two also rest the idea of sending troops to Hongnong again. Anyway, they have also fulfilled Cao Cao's promise and sent troops to attack Hangu pass.

After this, they found that it was not difficult for Huangfu Chaobo to attack himself, so they had better not provoke him. Later, on the one hand, they sent troops to help Tongguan garrison recapture Tongguan water village, on the other hand, they sent troops to take over the defense of Sanguan and Chencang.
