In the winter of the second year of the Great Xia Li calendar, the pattern of the 800-mile Qinchuan underwent tremendous changes as An Lushan captured Chang'an City.

The Tang army on the eastern expedition returned to Chang'an City in time, forcing An Lushan to retreat.

An Lushan occupied many villages and towns in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. Hu people from all over the country depended on An Lushan to avoid being conquered by the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan therefore became one of the overlords of the Qinchuan area.

Li Daozong, Xue Rengui and other Tang army generals forced to retreat An Lushan's army, but the prosperous Chang'an City was plundered by the Hu people, most of the houses were destroyed, the population was sharply reduced, and they were demoted to a third-level town.

The decline of Chang'an City led to the suppression of the expansion of the Tang Dynasty power established by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.

In order to avenge An Lushan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang fought fiercely in the Qinchuan area. In the past two months, more than 30 battles between the two sides have been fought in more than 30 battles. The Tang army wanted to regain the territory occupied by An Lushan and rob its population.

An Lushan is not a simple character. With his influence in the Hu tribe, he gathered a group of Hu leaders to become enemies with the Tang Dynasty, and the two sides repeatedly tug-of-war.

In this way, Zhang Hua, located in the eastern part of Qinchuan, lived a peaceful life.

During this period, Zhang Hua consolidated his rule over Huayin and Linjin counties, actively cultivated farms in Weinan, and set up a ranch in Weibei to replenish his troops and maintain his troops in Guanzhong at a scale of 70,000.

"An Lushan is really the nemesis of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang. The battle between the two sides will definitely affect the crop harvest."

Zhang Hua has been farming in Weinan and established Tongguan. There has been no war in two months.

In contrast, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and An Lushan remained unstoppable, and neither force could farm with peace of mind.

During this period, Fan Zhongyan, who guarded Heluo, upgraded Xia Town to a third-level town, only one step away from the city.

The first batch of fire bow cavalry recruited for Huang Zhong have also been assigned to Huang Zhong's command.

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and An Lushan were both consuming troops and attacking each other. After Zhang Hua supplemented the losses, he trained his troops and waited for the opportunity.

The Tang army besieged Liu Chong and Yang Ye was forced to rescue the siege because of the battle between Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and An Lushan and used it to deal with An Lushan.

Liu Chong chose to rely on the powerful An Lushan. Yang Ye dissuaded Liu Chong and even proposed to attack An Lushan's territory and obtain his population, but Liu Chong did not obey.

In addition to An Lushan's own territory, the An Lushan power was more like a loose alliance formed to compete with the Tang Dynasty, mainly composed of the Hu people.

The reason why Liu Chong relies on An Lushan is also very simple - he can maintain his territory and power.

Now the situation in Qinchuan in the eight hundred miles has become two major camps, including Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and An Lushan, and there are also separatist forces such as Zhang Hua and Qin Xiaogong.

During this period, the little overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce made an appointment with Zhang Hua to meet in Mengjin, but Zhang Hua, who was conquering Guanzhong, refused.

After defeating the fourth Qixue Changchi and Lao Wen of the Mongol Empire, Sun Ce successively defeated two or three forces and became one of the great lords north of the Yellow River.

According to Sun Ce, Sun Ce took the land of Hebei and Zhang Hua took the land of Guanzhong, united with powerful people and planned the world.

But Zhang Hua was skeptical about whether Sun Ce could unify Hebei, and believed that the alliance was not reliable.

Zhang Hua was still actively conquering Guanzhong and going to Anlushan. The forces of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang sent a large number of detailed works to investigate the changes in the strength of the two people at all times.

After two months of battles, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang lost tens of thousands of Tang troops, and there were at least 100,000 Hu soldiers killed and injured on An Lushan.

The civilians affected by both sides of the war were as large as one million, and many civilians also flowed into Zhang Hua's territory.

Huang Zhong's son Huang Xu was rejuvenated by Li Shizhen's wonderful hands and his body was basically healed, but his physique was worse than that of ordinary people.

Huang Zhong took Huang Xu to thank Li Shizhen, Li Wenxin and his daughter, and used the gold and silver that Zhang Hua gave him to him to build a clinic in Huayin.

Huang Zhong came alone to thank Zhang Hua, and Zhang Hua held a banquet to entertain Huang Zhong.

“Tons tons…”

Huang Zhong held a jar of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Although Huang Zhong almost lost to the hands of his younger generation Xue Rengui, Huang Zhong didn't care.

Huang Xu is getting better, Huang Zhong is already dead without regrets, so what is the importance of reputation?

"Gen. Huang is very good at drinking."

"I was originally a general in the middle-aged man in my life, and I had no other choice. The only pity is that the dog son is weak and sick, and it is difficult to pass on his martial arts. As for the dog son to get married and his grandson is born in the future, even if I cannot live or grow up."

Huang Zhong was drunk and sighed, telling Zhang Hua about his regrets.

Huang Zhongkong has martial arts skills, but he has no heirs.

With Huang Xu's physique, even a first-class local hero could not beat, let alone inherit Huang Zhong's martial arts.

The five tiger generals, each of them has its own heritage.

Zhao Yun had sons Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang, who inherited Zhao Yun's spear skills.

Although Zhao Tong and Zhao Guang's martial arts are far inferior to Zhao Yun, they have finally reached the threshold of a second-rate military general and are the main military generals in the late Shu Kingdom.

Guan Yu's son Guan Ping, Guan Xing, and daughter Guan Yinping inherited Guan Yu's sword skills.

Zhang Fei has many children, Ma Chao has many siblings, and their martial arts are all inherited.

There is only one Huang Xu here, but half a useless person.

"Why would General Huang choose another disciple to inherit sword and bow skills. When his grandson grows up, he will pass it on to his grandson. Wouldn't that be great?"

As a descendant, Zhang Hua's thinking is not as rigid as Huang Zhong. If he replaces it equally, he will solve Huang Zhong's problem.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he slapped his thighs suddenly.

Good guy, why didn't he expect it?

"You should not be too old to practice martial arts, otherwise it will be difficult to change because of the solidification of your thinking. It is best to be born with the talent of using bows and arrows."

"Then there is only one person who meets the requirements, and that is Sun Shangxiang."

Zhang Hua thought about it and found that only Sun Shangxiang was underage, and Sun Shangxiang's talent was to "control the wind", which could embody the flowing wind.

Sun Shangxiang's talent allows her to easily become a sharpshooter.

In addition, Sun Shangxiang has learned to attach his true energy to the bow and arrow, and may have hope of understanding Huang Zhong's martial arts.

"I am guarding Changsha for the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, and guarding against the Jiangdong people. I didn't expect that one day I would teach the young boy from Jiangdong."

Huang Zhongfufu, agreed to accept Sun Shangxiang as his apprentice and teach martial arts.

There are not many generals who are proficient in bowing techniques, and those who meet the requirements are even rarer.

"Since you sincerely suggest it to me, I will reluctantly accept it."

When Sun Shangxiang heard that she was going to become a disciple, she frowned slightly, but finally agreed.

Huang Zhong's bow skills are even more powerful than Sun Ce. Learning Huang Zhong's bow skills is a good thing for the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Zhang Hua didn't know what effect it would be for him to become a disciple. Maybe Sun Shangxiang's martial arts could be improved, or his mastery of bows and arrows would be more exquisite.

Generals of the level of Huang Zhong not only depend on their personal strength, but also on their age, and even their grasp of light, wind speed and terrain.

For example, the old Huang Zhong could not afford to waste the young and strong Xue Rengui.

While Sun Shangxiang was practicing arrows, Zhang Hua sat aside, and Mulan brought information from various places to write detailed information.

"An Lushan summoned the leaders of various Hu tribes in Qinchuan in Sanyuan Town to discuss major events, but I don't know the details."

"What's the idea of ​​An Lushan?"

Zhang Hua heard that An Lushan stationed 200,000 troops in Sanyuan Town and confronted the Tang army. Dozens of Hu tribes of all sizes from Qinchuan, 800 miles away, surrendered to An Lushan.

On average, each tribe sent several thousand troops, and An Lushan had an army of 200,000, and some powerful Hu tribes may have tens of thousands of troops.

"Arranging a detailed meeting to mix into An Lushan to find out. The time is right, we can send troops to attack An Lushan with the Tang army."

Zhang Hua shifted his target to the An Lushan forces.

If An Lushan could integrate the various Hu tribes that depended on him, then An Lushan would become a major force with a population of 2 million.

It is entirely possible to compete with the Tang army by annexing the An Lushan forces.

"There is another news. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are about to defeat the three Tang Dynasty governors of Rushui, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and they may attack Heluo."

“This is also a trouble.”

Zhang Hua has always been paying attention to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's peasant uprising army, and this force may threaten Zhang Hua's rear.

Chen Sheng and three Tang Dynasty governors fought in the Rushui River Basin for several months, and their lives were in trouble. More than 150,000 refugees have entered Heluo to take refuge, and the population of Heluo reached 750,000.

Mulan Hua said: "Wang Feng claimed that Chen Sheng's peasant army had more than 500,000 people. If we could subdue this peasant army and move them to Heluo to farm, our rear would be more stable."

"Thinking of this is not unreasonable."

Zhang Hua became interested in Wang Feng's proposal.

Chen Sheng's power has 500,000 farmers. If this force is subdued, Heluo will have a population of millions of farming, which can provide more resources for Zhang Hua to guide Guanzhong.

When Guanzhong cannot open up the situation for the time being, plundering the population in other directions has become a feasible choice.

In Sanyuan Town, An Lushan convened 200,000 Hu soldiers and held a meeting here to host a banquet to entertain the leaders of Hu people from various departments, and discuss the attack on the Tang Dynasty.

The Qinchuan Tang Dynasty forces of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty were occupied by many territories, Chang'an City was destroyed, and their vitality was severely damaged, and An Lushan was still on the offensive.

Liu Chong, a native of Shatuo, brought general Liu Jiye to the meeting.

Liu Chong was Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother. Both of them were emperors, but they were Shatuo people, so they were more inclined to join forces with An Lushan.

An Lushan's proposal to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enfeoff the kings was recognized by many Hu leaders.

It was snowing heavily, and An Lushan held a banquet to entertain the Hu leaders in the camp outside the town. The copper stove was hot and the tent was filled with heat. The smell of wine and sheep smell filled the tent. These Hu leaders feasted in a drunken and dreamed of death.

After fighting for so long, can’t you enjoy it?
