"Lord, Guanzhong is in urgent need. The Dangxiang tribe in Huaiyuan Town sent troops to attack Tongwancheng! Gao Yigong, the defender of Tongwancheng, was suspected to have been captured alive by the other party. Gao Guiying of the Dashun Army has assembled the old camp of the Dashun Army and the two elite troops of the Zhongzhen camp to attack the Dangxiang tribe!"

Zhang Hua had just ceased to fight with Liu Xiu, and wars rose again in the northwest.

"Fortunately, the truce with Liu Xiu, otherwise, there will be more battles on multiple fronts..."

Zhang Hua formed an alliance with Liu Xiu, and finally got rested, and the Dangxiang people made trouble again, which made Zhang Hua quite angry.

Since the Dangxiang tribe is seeking death, it can only try to kill them.

"I ordered Gao Guiying not to attack without authorization... Forget it, Gao Yigong is her only relative. If Gao Yigong is captured alive, Gao Guiying will definitely lose her mind... At this time, the military order will not have any effect on her."

Zhang Hua speculated that Gao Guiying's mood must have been affected.

The general can not guarantee rationality at any time. Li Zicheng died in battle. If Gao Yigong was killed again, Gao Guiying would probably collapse.

"I can only let Mulan work hard to go from Chang'an to Gao Guiying's camp, so as to appease Gao Guiying and make him act cautiously."

Zhang Hua had no choice but to send Mulan to control Gao Guiying.

Gao Guiying was one of the eleven legion commanders established by Zhang Hua. It was not that Gao Guiying was very capable, but that Gao Guiying firmly sat in the second place in the Dashun Army, and the generals of the Dashun Army were convinced by him.

Among the Xia army, only Zhang Hua and Mulan were able to directly control these legion commanders.

When Gao Guiying saw Mulan coming, she probably understood what Zhang Hua meant and could calm down.

"Who was the general of Dangxiang who attacked Tongwancheng?"

"Yeli Wangrong, the leader of the Yeli tribe of the Dangxiang tribe, Yeli came to beg for the quarrel."

"Military advisor, do you know the origin of these two people?"

Zhang Hua looked at Wang Shouren.

Compared with Zhuge Liang, Wang Shouren's advantage is that he knows a longer history than Zhuge Liang and knows all the people before the Ming Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang had limited understanding of civil and military officials and generals after the Three Kingdoms.

Wang Shouren directly understood the origin of the other party: "These two were generals of the Western Xia emperor Li Yuanhao. They set up an ambush in Haoshuichuan with Li Yuanhao and defeated the Northern Song Dynasty. The battle of Haoshuichuan led to the death of sixteen Northern Song generals, with more than 10,000 soldiers. At that time, Xia Shu, Han Qi, and Fan Zhongyan, who were in charge of the northwest battlefield, were all exiled by Song Renzong because of this battle. Dangxiang had mountain infantry and equipped with iron cavalry, and could not be underestimated. With Gao Guiying's ability, it would be difficult to deal with Dangxiang people. If Li Zicheng was still alive, it would be a different matter..."

"The northwest is mainly composed of the Great Qin and Dangxiang, two forces. Compared with the Qin army, the Dangxiang tribe is already relatively easy to deal with."

Zhang Hua turned his attention to Guanzhong, which was calm some time ago.

The northwest was not peaceful, and what ultimately affected Zhang Hua's rear - the 800-li Qinchuan.

As soon as Li Zicheng died, the strength of the Dashun Army declined.

After all, Gao Guiying is no better than Li Zicheng. The Dashun Army led by Li Zicheng is significantly stronger.

"Then raise an army and go to pacify Xiliang."

After the war broke out in the northwest, Zhang Hua led his troops south and began to deploy the northwest.

Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu's forces were divided into boundaries, and Princess Ningping's car had already reached near the border.

Gai Yan, one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai, led 500 Han troops to escort the frame with a longbow on his back.

Only Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu, as well as some bandits, were left nearby. With Gaiyan's force of more than 90, plus 500 Han troops, it was enough to protect the safety of Princess Ningping and his group.

Princess Ningping was sitting in the carriage, feeling uneasy.

She was going to marry into other forces, and she didn't even know what the other party looked like.

This is the political marriage between senior leaders. What will happen in the future depends entirely on luck.

However, both sides are strong, at least there is no problem with material conditions.

"Stop!"

"Form a formation!"

Princess Ningping was gently pulling her hair, worried about the future, when the guard general Gai Yan suddenly shouted loudly, and the dense footsteps of the Han army came from outside the carriage.

Princess Ningping was secretly surprised and opened the curtains of the carriage. On the horizon, a black army was approaching quickly with the Han army's convoy as the center.

The army wrapped in yellow turbans on its head and used yellow rags as its military flag. The number was tens of thousands!

"Is this a bandit active in the nearby mountains and forests? He dared to take the initiative to attack our Han army, which is really a deathbed!"

The Han general Gai Yan was furious when he found that a bandit dared to attack the Han army.

Because of continuous wars in Hanoi County, there is also the Taihang Mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. Many people fled to the mountains and gathered into villages. Bandits occupied the mountains and forests and dominated the country.

Sun Ce was busy fighting with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and did not have the time and energy to suppress these bandits, so there were indeed many bandits in Hanoi County.

This world is indeed too big. Even in Zhang Hua and Liu Xiu's territory, there are bandits and mountain barbarians. Officials from all over the country are constantly recruiting and suppressing bandits and mountain barbarians.

However, the bandits in Hanoi County are larger in scale, with bandits with tens of thousands of people.

For the feudal dynasty legions, the bandits of tens of thousands of people were just tens of thousands of local brave men.

"Your Highness the Princess get off the car, we need to set up a car array."

Facing tens of thousands of bandits attacking, Gai Yan only had five hundred Han troops in his hands, but he was still not afraid and set up a round formation to protect Princess Ningping.

Princess Ningping left the carriage, and the Han army used the tortoise shell formation to guard it layer by layer.

The Han army pushed Princess Ningping and the carriage carrying the dowry to the front of the circular array, and formed a chariot array on the outside of the circular array.

Behind the chariot formation are spearmen and crossbowmen.

The Han army was not afraid of danger and was in order, and was obviously an elite army.

Gaiyan organized two hundred Han cavalry to prepare to attack the bandits with tens of thousands of people.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian should stand!"

"The year is in Jiazi, and the world is very lucky!"

Tens of thousands of bandits shouted passionate slogans, surrounding Gaiyan and Princess Ningping from all directions.

Tens of thousands of bandits shouted in unison, shaking the sky and earth, making the five hundred Han soldiers pale.

The Han army's commander is not afraid, which does not mean that the five hundred Han army can defeat tens of thousands of bandits.

The number of opponents is dozens of times that of the Han army, with a large number of people and a large number of people. Even if they use the sea of ​​people, they can consume five hundred Han army to death.

Seeing that his morale was low, Gai Yan took the initiative to show up to protest to the bandits, saying, "I am the Marquis of Anping of the Han Dynasty, and you and others are coming to provoke him? Aren't you afraid that the power of heaven will come and let you and others be crushed to pieces?"

Behind Gai Yan was supported by Liu Xiu's great Han forces, who were full of confidence and scolded tens of thousands of bandits.

In his opinion, the reason why these bandits were active in Hanoi County was because the major princes fought and were too lazy to pay attention to them.

If Liu Xiu really planned to wipe out these bandits, dispatch 100,000 Han troops, and repeatedly cleared them out in a net manner, these bandits would be in trouble.

Tens of thousands of bandits, when they heard Gai Yan's reputation, their expressions changed and they were afraid of the Han army.

A fierce bandit general squeezed away the dense bandits and came to the front and confronted Gai Yan: "I am Guan Hai, the general of the Yellow Turban Army. What I want to fight is your Han army!"

Guan Hai, a powerful general of the Yellow Turban Army, also had a loud voice, stabilizing the morale of the Yellow Turban Army.

Gai Yan heard Guan Hai's voice, which was as loud as thunder, and he knew that Guan Hai's military strength was not low, and it was not feasible to kill the bandit leader and scare the bandits' plan.

So Gaiyan began to change his tactics.

"Yellow Turban Army..."

Gai Yan had heard of this peasant uprising army active in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Yellow Turban Army and the Eastern Han Army were mortal enemies, so it was not surprising that the Yellow Turban Army sent troops to attack the Han Army's convoy.

However, Guan Hai seemed to have not realized who was responsible for protecting this small Han army.

"Hahahaha, you can live a life by handing over the treasure you escorted and surrender to me Guan Hai!"

Guan Hai held tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, the five hundred Han troops who were full of passion and looked proudly at Gaiyan.

Guan Hai licked his lips and was determined to win the treasure escorted by the five hundred Han troops.

Guan Hai also thought that the five hundred Han troops were escorting gold, silver and treasures, so he sent troops to attack the Han troops.

Furthermore, the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army were originally mortal enemies, so Guan Hai didn't mind causing some trouble to the Han army. When the Han army arrived, Guan Hai would just lead his troops into the mountains and forests.

"Your troops are divided into two groups, one to the north and one to the south, asking for reinforcements."

Gai Yan's face was gloomy. After basically determining the force of the bandit leader, he made a countermeasure and divided two cavalry teams to break through and seek help from outside.

Gaiyan not only asked for help from the Han army in nearby villages and towns, but also from Heyang City.

Gai Yan took off the hard bow behind him, and the true energy poured into the hard bow, and the hard bow shone brightly.

"Start break through!"

Gai Yan shouted loudly, and two Han cavalry teams, each with fifty people, led by the Han army commander, broke through the siege in the north and south directions!

"Stop them!"

Guan Hai was also worried that the Han army team would ask for help from the rear, so he shouted for the Yellow Turban Army and trapped the Han army team.

"Go!"

Gai Yan fired eight arrows in a row, four arrows from north to south, and eight streams of light passed through the Yellow Turban Army. Each arrow penetrated at least four or five Yellow Turban Army!

Gai Yan used his superb archery skills to set the way for the Han cavalry team!
