Since Yang Fan unified Bingzhou, he has been developing Bingzhou with peace of mind and has not violated the other princes. During this period, he only sent troops to Chang'an once and then retreated to Bingzhou.

This made the princes feel that Yang Fan is just a dog that is in charge, so there is no need to be afraid. This is also one of the important reasons why Ma Teng dared to send someone to assassinate Yang Fan.

After Ma Chao and Pang De escaped, they rushed back to Liangzhou and immediately reported to Ma Teng.

After hearing that Yang Fan's wife was killed by his generals, Ma Teng knew that the matter was getting worse and hurriedly asked someone to go to Jincheng and called Han Sui for discussion.

A few days later, the Bingzhou army suddenly made great efforts. First, they stationed in Shuofang, and Zhang Liao's troops and Zhao Yun's troops in the two places of Shangjun exchanged defense areas. Then, two major strategists under Yang Fan, Tian Feng and Ju Su, entered Guan Yu's camp in a swagger. Finally, Huang Zhong, who was stationed in Huguan, also gathered troops from all over the country. A hundred thousand troops were gathering in Huguan, and a cart of supplies were transported to the pass.

The Yang family army is a fierce man in the world, and their every move naturally attracted much attention. The Yang family army's abnormal behavior immediately made Cao Mengde, Lu Fengxian and others frightened. Even Zhang Ji, who was far away in Hongnong County, couldn't sleep at night and sent several waves of spies to Huguan to inquire about the news one day.

Yanzhou, Dongjun Puyang.

Since Huang Zhong's Nandaying made a big move, Cao Cao quickly summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.

Cao Cao said with a worried look: "Huang Zhong's 100,000 troops have moved. He is currently gathering in Huguan. Tell me, what does Yang Bowen mean?"

Cheng Yu was the first to reply: "Not long ago, it was rumored that Yang Fan was assassinated in Jinyang. Could it be related to this? However, since Huang Zhong moved, Yang Fan's target was either Sili or Yanzhou. At this time of the You and Ji war, Yang Fan's move was really hard to understand and could not be understood!"

Cheng Yu said for a long time, but he didn't say anything at all, which made Cao Cao a little irritable, so he turned to Liu Ye and asked, "Zi Yang, what do you think?"

Liu Ye just learned the news and couldn't give any advice for a while, so he had to say conservatively: "Just as Zhongde said, there were a lot of involvement in the You and Ji war, and Yang Fan would not be unable to see it, but he went south to send troops to the south, which means that someone offended him. The lord had made friends with Yang Bingzhou. I concluded that the Yang family army's goal this time would not be Yanzhou. If I expected it, it should be Zhang Ji of Hongnong County."

Liu Ye’s vision is really unique. He can analyze many things in just a few sentences, which shows that this person has a grave and a strategy in mind.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and said to himself that Liu Ye’s idea really coincided with him. He asked with a smile: “Why did Ziyang say this?”

Liu Ye just said it with a bold voice. After seeing Cao Cao's appearance at this time, he knew that he had guessed something right. He quickly replied in accordance with his own opinion: "Yang Fan was assassinated in front of him and sent troops later. It can be seen that the group of assassins made him angry. However, since Yang Fan was not injured, why did he make such a big move? This is a bit of a waste of money and it is not worth the loss!"

At this time, the soldiers came to report that Yang Fan had sent a letter.

Cao Cao took the letter and read it in one glance. He finally showed a sudden enlightenment. He then let the letter pass through it. He sighed, "Blog articles are really lucky!"

It turned out that the letter was written by Yang Fan to Cao Cao, asking him to come to Bingzhou to attend Zhen Jiang's funeral.

After reading the letter, Liu Ye sighed quite and said, "It's not been three years since Yang Fan got married? Alas, things are really unpredictable."

When Yang Fan's wedding was first, the scene was the first in the late Han Dynasty. Ten thousand people were dowrying, and that scene was really impressive. Now, the beauty in the past is a pile of loess, which made Liu Ye sigh in his heart. So what if he is the wife of General Cavalry? So what if he is the first lady in the world?

Now, she is not as good as the woman from ordinary people. She blocks the knife for Yang Fan, so the child she left behind will have a bit of mystery in the future.

Cao Cao smiled bitterly and said, "Bowen said that this matter was done by Zhang Ji, the Hongnong County. He mobilized a large army just to fight against Zhang Ji, so let's not be nervous."

Liu Ye frowned and said, "Even if Yang Bingzhou said this, our army must not be guarded. Maybe it was his plan to secretly cross Chen Cang."

Liu Ye’s worries were exactly what Cao Cao thought. He was already suspicious and he would inevitably think too much at this time.

At this time, another soldier came to report that Lu Bu, who occupied the white horse, had withdrawn his troops and returned to Sili and headed to Hedong County.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this and smiled: "It seems that even Lu Bu can't sit still anymore, which shows that Bowen's actions are really scary!"

Cao Cao's smile is gratifying. Even if he is not as strong as his strength, he cannot be expressed. Cao Cao interprets this very well. No one knows what Cao Cao is thinking at this time. However, his optimistic attitude can deeply affect everyone. Unconsciously, he lacks some fear of the Yang family army.

Then, Cao Cao asked with a smile: "Bowen's move seems to be a show-like? Everyone, I'll tell you, where do you want to get a blog?"

Without thinking, Liu Ye replied directly: "Seven Sili counties!"

Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Why did Ziyang say this? Could it be that Yang Fan would not attack our Lord Yanzhou?"

Liu Ye smiled slightly and analyzed: "Yang Fan's focus is still on You and Jizhou. His dispatch of troops to Sili is just to lay the foundation for the future of conquering Liangzhou. As I expected, Yang Fan's dispatch of troops will also take the banner of avenging his wife, and Zhang Ji is a scapegoat!"

Cao Cao asked, "Ziyang, then you think, who dares to have such courage to think of assassinating Bowen!"

Liu Ye smiled and said, "There is nothing else, you are the people of Liangzhou!"

Cheng Yu asked, "Why is Ziyang so sure?"

Liu Ye replied: "Gongsun Zan and Yang Fanshi went out of the same school. On this occasion of the great battle with Yuan Shao, how could he make a strong enemy? Yuan Shao was in a situation like Gongsun Zan; my lord never did it; Zhang Ji did not have the courage; Lu Bu was under our noses, and he wouldn't, do you think, who else?"

Cheng Yu thought about it for a moment and guessed the reason why Liangzhou did this, and he smiled without saying a word.

Cao Cao had obviously guessed it a long time ago. When he saw Liu Ye pointing it out again, he immediately smiled and said, "Zhang Ji cannot escape from the palm of his blog. Sili will definitely be the one in Bowen's pocket. It seems that our army should add more fire to Jizhou, otherwise, Yuan Benchu ​​would not be in a hurry!"

Cao Cao's words attracted deep thoughts from Liu Ye and others.

Since Dong Zhuo was defeated and died, the seven counties of Sili under the feet of the dignified emperor have become a place of chaos. They are either raging in chaos or occupied by powerful people. It is even worse than that of Dong Zhuo's period.

Hongnong County was occupied by Dong Zhuo's old subordinate Zhang Ji. He was brave and good at fighting. He was the General of the Central Army at that time. He led more than 30,000 remaining troops of the Xiliang Army and occupied Hongnong County for more than a year.

Zhang Ji was able to occupy Hongnong without being annexed by Lu Bu, which shows that he had some skills. His nephew, Zhang Xiu and Zhao Yunshi, were the introductory disciples of a generation of gun prodigy Yuan. A hundred birds paying phoenix spear made it superb. Even if he fought with Lu Bu, he could fight for dozens of rounds without a winner.

Zhang Ji naturally received news about the actions of the Yang family army. On that day, he summoned the generals to discuss matters in Hongnong.

Zhang Ji said with a worried look on his face: "Spy came to report that Yang Bowen has already begun to assemble a large army in Huguan. Tell me, what exactly does he want to do?"

Zhang Xiu had never fought with the Yang family army. He didn't know the edge of the battle, so he was naturally not afraid of his power. He replied immediately: "I was afraid. I thought that Yang Fan could only gather tens of thousands of people. Even Lu Bu did not dare to pick on the tiger's beard easily. If Yang Bowen really dared to invade Sili?"

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao'er, the Yang family's army raided Chang'an City last year, but it is vivid in my mind. To this day, we must be careful. Besides, Lu Bu still has an old relationship with Yang Fan, so our army should be careful and cautious."

Zhang Xiu disagreed and defended: "How can uncle be more ambitious and destroy his own prestige? Our army has ten thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and it is like the wind in this Sili realm. Are you still afraid that he will not succeed?"

At this time, the spy came to report that the Yang family army, with about 60,000 people, had left Huguan under the command of General Huang Zhong, and was forcing Hanoi County.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house was shocked. A general said worriedly: "There is no firmness to defend in Hanoi County. The 60,000 Yang family troops can be taken down in just a few days. Then it will be Yin and Hongnong County in Henan. Please make plans early."

Zhang Ji smiled wryly and said, "The Yang family's movements are really fast. I just received the news and he started to move. There is a Sima family in Hanoi County. However, they are just a group of literati and are not enough to resist the Yang family's army's military. I still have to look at the Lu family in Yin, Henan. I wonder if the Lu family is fighting or surrendering?"

Yang Fan's government orders run contrary to the interests of the aristocratic families. If you want your interests to be not violated, you can only raise an army to resist. However, there are risks in wars, and not everyone has such courage.

Zhang Xiu volunteered: "Uncle, it's better to ask my nephew to bring 10,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry to guard Yiyang and guard against the Yang family."

Zhang Ji was silent for a while, then agreed: "Xu'er is not afraid of danger and shows her style as a general. Uncle agrees, but be careful in everything!"

After receiving Zhang Ji's approval, Zhang Xiu hurriedly took 10,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to Yiyang.

As soon as Zhang Xiu left, Zhang Ji hurriedly sent an envoy to Anyi, Hedong County, in an attempt to unite with Lu Bu and jointly fight against Yang Fan's army.

Naturally, the movements of the Yang family army could not be hidden from the princes of the world, and everyone stopped and looked up. No one could tell what Yang Fan's purpose was.

Especially Lu Bu, who was the first to bear the brunt, was even more anxious, so he had to give up the white horse and return to Hedong County.

Anyi City, Lu Bu Mansion.

As soon as Lu Bu returned to Anyi, he hurriedly summoned his civil and military officials to discuss matters.

Lu Bu said with a sad face: "Bowen raised tens of thousands of troops and suddenly went south. As you see, where does he want to get?"
