In Guanzhong, Ma Teng, the king of Liang, and Han Sui, the Duke of Jincheng, are also gathering troops with the state of Qin. Judging from the situation of the three families, there should be another big war this year.

In addition to these princes, there is another place that has attracted the attention of Huangfu Chaobo, that is, Shangyong's amorous sword. Now it has a large number of soldiers and generals. After swallowing Chuanxian and Xicheng of Zhanglu last year, it is now deploying troops. It seems that the move is to send troops to Hanzhong.

However, Huangfu Chaobo was not very optimistic about the battle of Duoqing sword this time. The reason why the former Duoqing sword was able to take two cities in succession was that Zhang Lu was caught off guard after he was demoted to the Shen brothers. In addition, Li Meng and Wang Fang's new investment did not allow them to be reused under Zhang Lu's command, so the west city was easily taken away.

Now Zhang Lu must have been on guard, so the war between the two families is not so simple.

However, what Huangfu Chaobo didn't know was that the reason why duoqingjian wanted to attack Zhang Lu was that after he captured Xicheng, he gathered two generals, one was Xiang Lang, a famous scholar of Jingxiang, and the other was Zhang Ji, a famous scholar of Xiliang. Zhang has one characteristic, which is "Pro Qiang".

This feature may not play a very important role if it is under the Central Plains princes, but it is different in Hanzhong. There are Qiang Di tribes in the Han Dynasty around Hanzhong. After Zhang put himself into the command of Duoqing sword, he used his own characteristics to secretly recruit several Qiang tribes. In addition, Duoqing sword has tens of thousands of troops in his own hands, which still has a great success rate.

In the southern part of Yizhou, although there are four forces, Liu Yan, I are Xiaobai, Ma Xiang and Meng Huo, but the relationship between Liu Yan and I is Xiaobai has not broken yet, so there is no war between them, and the land occupied by Ma Xiang and Meng Huo is too bad, so Liu Yan and Xiaobai are not eager to send troops, instead, they have become enemies The most stable place in the world.

In Jingzhou, the rising of Jianling is irresistible. After Liu Biao raided Jianling, he lost a handful of rice instead of stealing chicken. No, it should be said that it was several. First of all, he gave most of his troops and ships to Jianling. Not only that, but also the bad consequences of the sudden attack on the Taishou gradually appeared.

First, several clans in Jingnan, such as Su Dai, Bei Yu, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, all took refuge in Jianling, which greatly increased the strength of Jianling. What makes Liu Biao even more angry is that Han song, a famous scholar of Jingxiang, who had been unwilling to take refuge in Liu Biao before, went out of the mountain and accepted the invitation of Jianling.

Now Jianling and Liu Bei have become the actual controllers of the four counties in Jingnan. Both of them are beginning to infiltrate Lingling County in Jingnan. It is estimated that there will be a big war between the two families sooner or later.

As for sun ce of Jiangdong, most of his energy is now focused on Jiangbei, because if Qi's power is not weakened to a certain extent, he is afraid that his territory in Jiangbei will be unstable, so he has no time and energy to take into account the severe cold of LiuYao and Wujun in Yuzhang. They are making good use of this period to stabilize their power.

In the southernmost Jiaozhou, there was not much conflict between the Shi family and the battleship. Because of the bad environment in Jiaozhou and the rampant mountains, the two families were busy stabilizing their sphere of influence, while the battleships put more energy on the opposite Qiongzhou island.

……

The situation in the world has nothing to do with the people of Tian and Yu. What they are doing now is, on the one hand, they keep transporting all the troops, horses, grain and grass from Hedong across the river, and all of them are in Hukou town. Another is to strengthen the defense of Hukou town. In addition to making clear the situation in the north, South and west of Hukou Town, several beacon strongholds were set up ten li to the south to prevent the Qin army from attacking from the south.

At the same time, Hua Xiong has led 10000 Xiliang cavalry and escorted 5000 soldiers to explore all the roads from Hukou town to the West and the mountains and valleys on both sides. As a result, as Tian Yu and Pang Tong expected, Xu Huang arranged some soldiers to hide in the valley.

Hua Xiong spent two days clearing all the soldiers and soldiers hidden in the valley, and then led the army to Xu Huang's camp more than ten miles west of hukou.

Every move of the Tang army didn't escape Xu Huang's exploration. Seeing that the Tang army was so cautious, Rao Shishi felt helpless for Xu Huang's calmness. You know, now he has only 2500 soldiers in his hand. Five thousand soldiers only retreated more than three thousand from Hukou town. On the way, he arranged for nearly a thousand soldiers to hide in the valley. Although there were not many trees in the mountains in the south of Shangjun, it was not difficult to hide more than a thousand soldiers in the Valley Road of more than ten miles.

But he didn't expect that the general of Tang army was so cautious that he didn't mean to attack quickly. Instead, he sent soldiers to search the valley one by one and found all the hidden soldiers.

In desperation, Xu Huang had to consider how effective his arrangement was. Fortunately, an order had been sent from dingyang city. He just asked him to slow down the speed of the Tang army as much as possible. If he didn't slow down, he could lead the army to withdraw. Now the defense of dingyang City is basically ready.

On the 28th, Tian Yu left 5000 guards and 1000 cavalry to defend Hukou Town, and led the rest of the army to dingyang city in the West. With Huaxiong's suppression in the first two days, the Tang army soon arrived at Xu Huang's camp.This is an ordinary camp. After careful observation, Tian Yu attacked it without too much staying. It took only half a day for the Tang army to break through the barracks, and Xu Huang led the evacuation again. However, this time, he did not stay any longer. Under the escort of the four thousand Hun cavalry, he led the remaining two thousand soldiers to dingyang city.

However, Tian Yu didn't catch up with him. He still made sure that there were no soldiers hiding along the way. Then he led his troops to move on. Although the speed was not fast, the journey was only thirty or forty miles a day, but the victory was safety. You know, in this kind of terrain, once the Tang army left behind, it would be a fatal threat to the grain road of the Tang army, so Tian Yu would rather slow down, but also to ensure the safety behind him.

It was only 120 Li from Hukou town to dingyang City, but Tian Yu led the Tang army for nearly five days. It was not until the afternoon of March 4 that the Tang army arrived at dingyang city. Although the speed is not fast, but let their own food safety can be foolproof.
