"Lord, according to the report of the War Eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout, Jin Wushu and his party crossed the Yellow River north and headed to the east of Hedong."

Mulan found Zhang Hua and told Jin Wushu about his escape direction.

Sometimes, just knowing the other party’s movements can infer the other party’s strategy.

"As a matter of fact, when we arrived in Hedong, it seems that for a long time, Jin Wushu and others would be struggling in Hedong and were unable to compete for Heluo and Qinchuan. We can use this time to guide Guanzhong."

If you want to compete in Guanzhong, you must at least have a territory in Guanzhong.

Zhang Hua occupied Dazhong Town and obtained the qualification to compete for Guanzhong.

If Jin Wushu loses this opportunity, it will be difficult for him to intervene in Guanzhong.

According to Zhang Hua's judgment, Jin Wushu was probably afraid of being beaten by himself, so he fled to Hedong to develop his power.

After Zhang Hua pardoned some land rent, he sent troops to rebuild Dazhong Town and restore the prosperity of Dazhong Town as soon as possible.

Yan Xiang, the chief clerk who was familiar to the residents of Dazhong Town, came out to preside over the situation and appease the people's hearts. The people's hearts in Dazhong Town recovered to over 60, temporarily getting rid of the possibility of a peasant uprising.

Chen Gong, a military advisor to the army, said: "The news that we have captured the Yuan Shu power and the reputation of the lord will soon spread in the 800-li Qinchuan. At that time, nearby forces may form alliances and attack the lord, and ask the lord to make a good response."

Zhang Hua recognized Chen Gong's insights.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. As a visitor, Zhang Hua will definitely break the pattern of the 800-mile Qinchuan. The forces around Yuan Shu may form an alliance to deal with Zhang Hua, the visitor.

After all, the visitor is not good.

Li Ji said: "I'm afraid there is already force coming to seize Yuan Shu's villages and towns. The lord should prepare to support the three generals Feng Yi, Deng Ai and Zhao Ponu."

In the Great Jin Dynasty, Nurhaci sent a detailed work to Heluo to send back the information. Xia Town suddenly summoned a large number of troops, food and grass, and seemed to have made big moves.

This information scared Nurhaci, who was fighting with Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, mobilized the troops of two flags to the west overnight to prevent Xiazhen from sending troops from Hulao Pass to raid the Great Jin Kingdom.

However, Nurhaci waited for several days and found that Zhang Hua's target was not Guandong, but Guanzhong.

"Zhang Hua's purpose is to guide Guanzhong. If Zhang Hua obtains 800 miles of Qinchuan and then occupy Heluo, then we will be extremely passive."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo because Dong Zhuo was in charge of Guanzhong and Heluo, and his power was unprecedented. The Guandong area was flat and there was no danger to defend. Guanzhong, Heluo was condescending and sent troops to sweep Guandong, which was easy."

"Therefore, it is necessary to curb Zhang Hua's occupation of Guanzhong. Even if it delays his progress in the strategy of Guanzhong, it is necessary."

Huang Taiji lobbled Nurhaci and restrained Zhang Hua.

Huang Taiji's comprehensive ability is the strongest among Nurhaci's many sons, and he can often see crises.

The heroes compete for the victory, and while annexing weak forces, they must also restrain powerful forces and delay their growth.

"It's reasonable, Ajige, you urge Li Mi and Wu Sangui to put pressure on Hulaoguan."

Nurhaci knew that Huang Taiji had extraordinary eyesight, so he recognized Huang Taiji's view and dispatched troops to attack Hulao Pass, forcing Zhang Hua to fight on both sides.

"Zhang Hua, if you destroy my plan to occupy Heluo, I won't make you feel better."

Huang Taiji was still worried about Zhang Hua's defeat of him.

Ajige commanded the Yellow Banner, supervised Li Mi and Wu Sangui, two Han troops, attacked Hulao Pass and began to put pressure on the eastern front of Zhang Hua's forces.

There is no peace around Heluo.

The peasant uprising troops of Rushui, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in the southeast continued to expand, and the population of Zhangchu State increased from more than 100,000 to 200,000.

The princes in the Rushui area were afraid of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so three Jiedushi from the Tang Dynasty formed the three Jiedushi alliance, sent 30,000 troops, and fought with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang in Rushui.

The war between the two sides was quite fierce, with people constantly dying in battle, and the blood stained the Ru River and corpses everywhere.

The Jiedushi from the Tang Dynasty was still quite fierce. It blocked Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's momentum in Rushui. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang retreated, but the alliance of the Three Jiedushi lost 6,000 troops, which could be said to have suffered heavy losses.

The defeated Chen Sheng and Wu Guang retreated twenty miles, rectified their troops and prepared to fight again.

Wang Feng, a military general who was involved in Chen Sheng's peasant army, was promoted to the military post because of his bravery in many battles.

Wang Feng gradually integrated into Chen Sheng's power and became an intermediate officer of Chen Sheng's peasant army.

Zhang Hua gave Wang Feng the task of becoming a general of Chen Sheng's power.

In order to help Wang Feng get promoted successfully in Zhang Chu State, Zhang Hua arranged some detailed works to provide information to Wang Feng. Through this information, Wang Feng provided advice to the generals of Chen Sheng's forces and gradually became their confidant.

Moreover, because Wang Feng was noticed by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Wang Feng's promotion speed in Zhang Chu State was astonishing.

But what Chen Sheng and Wu Guang didn't know was that Wang Feng was a detailed work sent by Zhang Hua.

In Guanzhong, Fenghuang Town, a first-level town of Yuan Shu's forces, was occupied by an army with well-armed troops, and took away tens of thousands of people from Yuan Shu's forces.

The word "Tang" in the flag shows that this army comes from the Tang Dynasty forces.

"Yuan Shu has a population of 400,000, and I have already taken 50,000, but it is not enough. I must occupy Dazhong Town to have an explanation to Your Majesty."

Yuan Shu's forces were in civil turmoil, and this Tang army general took advantage of the opportunity to easily capture Fenghuang Town, which was originally guarded by Yuan Shu's general Zhang Xun.

The target of the Tang army generals was Dazhong Town, expanding the scope of the Tang Dynasty's power to the east.

"General, there are three forces in Dazhong Town that have competed and have been captured by forces from Heluo. At least 20,000 troops have entered Qinchuan. Please be careful!"

The scouts of the Tang army sent back the situation about Dazhong Town from the front.

"Where did the third force come from?"

The Tang army generals were particularly surprised.

Before the Tang Dynasty sent troops, he only knew that civil strife broke out in Yuan Shu's forces and Jin Wushu fought for power with Yuan Shu, but he did not expect that a third force would intervene.

"If it is from Heluo, then it will be troublesome. My troops may not be able to capture Dazhong Town. The goal is to occupy nearby villages and towns and plunder the population!"

After weighing the trade-offs, the generals of the Tang army accelerated the speed of plundering the population.

Yuan Shu has a population of 400,000 and nine towns.

The Tang army took advantage of the chaos of Yuan Shu's power and occupied land and plundered the population.

In the north of Yuan Shu's power, another force sent troops across the Wei River and was also plundering the population of Yuan Shu's power.

These forces that are enemies of Yuan Shu have made detailed works in Yuan Shu's forces and are ready to annex Yuan Shu at any time.

Once Yuan Shu's forces were in civil turmoil, they immediately began to plunder Yuan Shu's population.

After the princes in various places grew stronger, it became difficult to attack head-on, and all the princes were waiting for others to make mistakes and then quickly annexed the other party.

Zhao Ponu led his troops to capture a town, and then rushed to the west to collect Fenghuang Town.

"Phoenix Town is a town established by Zhang Xun, a general under Yuan Shu. It is a first-class town. Zhang Xun has been killed by the Jurchens. There are only 500 defenders in Phoenix Town. As soon as my cavalry arrives, Phoenix Town will definitely surrender in sight."

Zhao Ponu moved quickly along the way, believing that it would be easy to attack Fenghuang Town.

In a place less than 15 miles away from Fenghuang Town, Zhao Ponu met the Tang army who captured Fenghuang Town unexpectedly!

"Stop the march!"

"Prepare for combat!"

Zhao Ponu followed General Huo Qubing, the Cavalry General, and experienced many battles. Both sides were about to break out and encounter a battle. So Zhao Ponu quickly set up a formation to face the Tang army.

"Tang Army? Could it be that Phoenix Town has been captured by the Tang Army?"

Zhao Ponu met the well-equipped Tang army 15 miles east of Fenghuang Town. It is not difficult to judge that Fenghuang Town has been occupied by the Tang army.

When Jin Wushu and Zhang Hua were plotting against Yuan Shu, the forces around Yuan Shu were also eyeing him.

The great forces of Qinchuan, the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, were able to survive the great waves and sand washing. None of them were good at strife and were intrigues with each other.

"It is said that the Tang Dynasty was no less powerful than the Han Dynasty."

Zhao Ponu's Han army fought with the real Tang army for the first time.

Although Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Niu Jinda were also generals of the Tang Dynasty, they traveled through the Wagang Village period, so their army was not as Tang army, but Wagang army.

Now Zhao Ponu is facing the Tang army that was in its heyday, destroyed the countries and was as arrogant as a tiger.

The Tang army was waving flags and well-equipped. The circular deck of the bright light armor reflected dazzling light in the sun.

"If the battle is not good, then retreat."

When Zhao Ponu faced the Tang Dynasty legion mixed with infantry and cavalry, his palms were involuntarily sweating.
