Chapter 232: Take Xiangyang lightly

Although Yang Ci took on this job, he was still unsure. After all, he had little contact with Huangfu Jian and did not have a deep understanding.

After returning to the mansion, Yang Ci thought hard and felt that the whole incident was related to Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Song was the key to solving the problem.

Huangfu Song was both the person involved and Huangfu Jian’s uncle. If Huangfu Song could do his best, he would definitely turn swords into jade. Yang Ci did not understand what happened that day and believed that Huangfu Jian would give his uncle a face.

"Come." After making up his mind, Yang Cichong shouted at the servant outside.

"Sir, what are you going to give?" A servant hurriedly ran in when he heard Yang Ci's cry.

"Go and invite the Zuo Zhonglang General Huangfu, hurry!" Yang Ci said, handing over his name to the sect.

"No!" The servant agreed and left Yang Ci's study, took Yang Ci's famous sect and went to Huangfu Song's mansion.

After sending the attendant away, Yang Ci paced back and forth in the study, frowned, and thought about solutions.

Yang Ci didn't wait long, and Huangfu Song came to Yang Ci's study under the guidance of the servant.

"The lower official greets the Grand Marshal."

Although Huangfu Song didn't understand why the Taiwei was so anxious to find him, he did not dare to neglect and bowed.

"General Huangfu is exempted from the gift! Please sit down quickly!" Yang Ci bowed slightly, returned the gift, and gave Huangfu Song to the case and sat down.

"Sir, I wonder what advice should I give?" After the two of them sat down, Huangfu Song spoke and asked.

"Oh!" Yang Ci sighed and said everything that happened in the court.

After saying that, a pair of old eyes looked at Huangfu Song and said leisurely: "Yizhen! The Yellow Turban Rebellion has just subsided, and the great man can't stand the torture. I invited you to persuade your nephew to withdraw, and make big things turn into small things!"

Huangfu Song also heard about the military troops coming out of Guanzhong in Zhenxi, but they were all rumors, and they could not tell whether they were true or false. Huangfu Song didn't take it seriously. In his opinion, even if Huangfu Jian was bold and arrogant, he would not really attack Yecheng. Moreover, Huangfu Jian has always regarded the world as his responsibility, and would not do anything that would be detrimental to the people of the world.

"The Grand Marshal is too worried. Although Jian'er is a little unruly, he will not do anything inappropriate. It is probably just a moment of righteous indignation and act like a gesture." Huangfu Song smiled slightly after he figured out the reasons before and after.

"No matter whether the general Zhenxi is acting voluntarily or not, it is true that the soldiers of Zhenxi army come out of Guanzhong. I must be careful, otherwise if the army Zhenxi army really forces Yecheng, it will break the sky! General Huangfu has ever thought about what kind of behavior this is? This is a sage, a forced palace, a rebellion! It is a serious crime to kill the nine clans of Lian!"

Yang Ci's long beard with his hands, his eyes flashed with a wise light, and he said loudly. He was already an old man who could reach a high position like the Taiwei in a mixed man. In order to achieve his goal, he used all the coercion and inducement.

After hearing this, Huangfu Song was indeed obsessed with his words. He felt that things were a bit too big, and he was even more shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. He was silent for a while and didn't know what to say.

"So I think that the most important thing at the moment is to stop the Zhenxi Army in Luoyang. It is to give Your Majesty a face and give Zhenxi Army a step back, so that you will not be really out of control."

Seeing that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, Yang Ci expressed his thoughts.

"What do you need to do if your lieutenant position?" Huangfu Song was not a fool. He quickly realized that things were not that serious. The old fox just wanted to use himself.

"Haha, it's nothing. I just hope that the general can accompany me to the West Army camp in Zhenxi for the sake of the people of the world and solve the incident in its infancy. Hello, hello, hello everyone!"

Yang Ci was slightly happy, waved his hand and said lightly. He raised it high and gently put it down.

"I'm afraid I can't obey my duty in this matter!" Huangfu Song shook his head firmly and replied. Just kidding, he was just bombarded by his nephew. If he went again, let his old face be put on!

"The general can solve this crisis, so will the general! Will the general not be for the people of the world and for hundreds of years of inheritance by the Huangfu family? Then consider it?" Yang Ci took retreat as an advance, and was good at temptation, constantly putting a big hat on Huangfu Song's head.

"The old man was joking. He was a martial artist, and he could not bear the heavy responsibility of the world. What's more, this matter was used first. Jian'er misunderstandings about me. If I go again, it would be counterproductive."

Huangfu Song spread his hands and said scoundrelly.

"General Zhenxi is your nephew. If something big happens, can you escape? I heard from me that I am advised by you. It is still too late to save me now. It is really uncontrollable. I am afraid it will be too late to regret it again."

Seeing that Huangfu Song was not good at eating soft and hard, Yang Ci also became angry. He glared at his eyes, blew his white beard, and said loudly, almost pointing at Huangfu Song's nose.

Huangfu Song thought about it for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the old fox and had to agree to Yang Ci's request.

The next day, Yang Ci and Huangfu Song rushed to Luoyang with hundreds of cavalry. They wanted to block the Zhenxi Army around Luoyang, at least they could not cross the Yellow River.

Jia Xu, the left military advisor of Zhenxi Army, led 15,000 cavalry of the dragon, tiger and leopard. He left Chang'an City on January 17th and arrived at Hangu Pass that day. He repaired at Hangu Pass for five days, and set off from Hangu Pass for 23rd on January 21st and arrived in Luoyang on the same day. He stayed in Luoyang for another five days. On January 29th, he set off from Luoyang again and arrived at Hulao Pass that morning.

The 15,000 iron cavalry is so powerful that it is not like going to fight, but rather like practicing.

But the sensation they caused was huge, attracting the attention of the world. All forces were watching the movements of the five thousand iron cavalry of Zhenxi Army. They also took various response measures, hoping to gain benefits from it.

Outside Hulao Pass, three iron cavalry camps were built. Zhao Yun's dragon cavalry was in the middle, Dian Wei's tiger cavalry was on the left, Zhang Fei's leopard cavalry was on the right, and Jia Xu lived in Zhao Yun's central army.

In the central army's tent, military advisor Jia Xu was wearing thick robe and sitting on his head. Under them, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and Zhang Fei were three brave generals with distinct armor and standing in the hall.

"Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, from tomorrow, you three iron cavalry will take turns practicing in the wide area in front of the camp. All the war drums will be beaten for the military advisor, and all the flags will be raised for the military advisor. The bigger the momentum, the better."

Jia Xu looked at the three tiger generals, smiled slightly, and said loudly.

"Military advisor! It's not that I, Zhang Fei, don't listen to you, we are going to attack Yecheng. Why did you let us go and stop and stop? Now you are here to do something wrong. If you stay here with Zilong, you only need ten thousand cavalry of Lao Dian to take down Yecheng."

Zhang Fei blew his beard and stared at him, and the sound of Thunder King made the central army's tent buzz.

"That's right, military advisor, let me and Hei Tan take down Yecheng together. Let's see if they dare to assassinate the lord!" As soon as Zhang Fei finished speaking, Dian Wei stood up. Although his voice was not as loud as Zhang Fei, it also made Jia Xu frown.

It took a long time before Jia Xu adapted to the powerful noise of the two men and his face calmed down.

"Cough..." Jia Xu coughed dryly, and his white hand gently knocked on Shuai Chou to stop the two of them from talking.

Zhang Fei and Dian Wei looked at each other and retreated unwillingly.

"The two generals are loyal and brave, but you misunderstood the intention of the lord. When will the lord let you attack Yecheng?" Jia Xu glanced at the two fools and explained.

He was afraid that if he didn't explain it clearly, these two men would really do something earth-shaking.

"What? If we don't let us fight Yecheng, why are we here? We've been running so far just for training!" Both Zhang Fei and Dian Wei widened their eyes in surprise, opened their mouths wide, and asked in a muffled voice.

Only Zhao Yun stood aside, silent, as if he understood something!

"Yes, the lord asked you to train. So from tomorrow, you will practice with great momentum and make the bigger the better." Jia Xu looked at Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei and the others nodded and said.

"It's so boring. My Snake Spear is almost rusted. I won't let me kill it with real swords and guns!"

Zhang Fei lowered his head in frustration and muttered.

"My lord said, as long as you practice momentum, you will be a great achievement." Jia Xu looked at the two madmen and had to move Huangfu Jian out again. Fortunately, these two people could listen to their lords, otherwise they really didn't know what to do!

"I understand!" Zhang Fei, although Dian Wei was unwilling to accept it, they did not have the courage to disobey Huangfu Jian's orders, so they had to retreat helplessly.

Since then, outside Hulao Pass, there were sounds of earth-shaking shouts and killing sounds every day. The sky was covered by rolling smoke and dust, and pedestrians had to take a detour.

It was not for Jia Xu to wait too long. On the third day of the training of the Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard, a white carrier pigeon flew into the central army's tent. Jia Xu looked at the letter and saw a smile on his face. Their first goal was achieved.

The Zhenxi Army captured Xiangyang, an important town in Jingzhou, without any effort.

Xiangyang is known as "the south ship and the north horse, the seven provinces are thoroughfare", with a superior location and convenient transportation. Xiangyang's upper stream gateway connects Ruluo to the north, Qinshu to the west, Huguang to the south, and Wuyue to the east. Since ancient times, it has been a must-fight place for military strategists and merchants.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Huangfu Jian wanted to take over the important Jingzhou town of Xiangyang and find a place for the Ganning navy, but unfortunately he had no chance. This time, Huangfu Jian took advantage of the assassination and ordered the Fengxiong Camp to go south and attack Xiangyang.

After the 25,000 Rising Bear Camp arrived in Xiangyang, it set up a large camp outside Xiangyang, and did not send troops to attack the city. It was just said that it would come to take over Xiangyang under the order of General Zhenxi.

Although Xiangyang City has a very important geographical location, it is only a county-level town in Jingzhou, with only a thousand guards in the city. After seeing the 25,000 troops under the western army, they could not even be at all interested in fighting.

A few days later, the officers and soldiers guarding the city opened the city gates and welcomed the western army into the city.
