Zhang Lu, who has just entered Hanzhong for only half a year, is actively planning to promote the Five Doks of Rice Sect recently.

When discussing the specific plan for opening a charity house in Hanzhong with his subordinates Yan Pu and Yang Song in the prefect's mansion, Zhang Lu received battle reports from his subordinates one by one.

"Reported, a group of about 5,000 bandits gathered to attack Yangping Pass."

"Report, Yangping Pass is lost! General Yang and General Zhang are killed!"

"Report, General Yang Ren, Dingjun Mountain, asked for help!"

...

Zhang Lu Runhong's face instantly pale, looking at the two strategists beside her in disbelief.

"There are 15,000 elite soldiers in Yangping Pass, why do you lose so quickly?"

Yan Pu was worried, but Yang Song said anxiously: "Tianshi, please help Dingjun Mountain quickly. If Dingjun Mountain is lost, Hanzhong will be in danger!"

Zhang Lu also knew that without Dingjun Mountain and Yangping Pass, Hanzhong had no danger to defend, and he might be in danger of falling, but he had less than 30,000 troops in his hands. How could he support Dingjun Mountain?

Yan Pu was puzzled by his worries.

"Guo? The eighteen princes of Guo and Dong Zhuo were all in Sizhou. Who else could have tens of thousands of soldiers attack Hanzhong? There were no strong princes in Guanzhong."

Guo Jia raised more than 200,000 troops to Yangping Pass, and the probe could not be sure how many soldiers Guo Jia had. He only knew that a general with the name Guo on the big banner led his army to capture Yangping Pass. It was roughly estimated that he could only claim 70,000 to 80,000.

Seeing Zhang Lu hesitating, Yang Ren immediately urged: "The Tianshi, there are less than 30,000 troops in the city. Now there are nearly 100,000 bandits. If Dingjun Mountain is lost, Hanzhong will not be able to defend it no matter what. Now we can only rely on Dingjun Mountain to delay the bandits and quickly ask the provincial governor for help. As long as the provincial governor sends troops from Chengdu and attacks our army from front and back, there will be hope for the crisis in Hanzhong."

Yang Ren's analysis made Zhang Luqing nodded. He turned his gaze to Yan Pu, who was still immersed in painstaking thoughts, and asked: "Yan Pu, what do you mean?"

Yan Pu, who came back to his senses, had already seen the situation clearly, but he could only say sternly: "It is reasonable for the Heavenly Master to rescue Dingjun Mountain, but I am afraid that Dingjun Mountain only has 10,000 defenders. If the reinforcements have not arrived and have been lost, the bandits can use the dangerous terrain of Dingjun Mountain to ambush our reinforcements. At that time, Hanzhong really had no resistance at all."

After hearing this, Zhang Lu became embarrassed again. He couldn't decide whether he should send troops or not.

"The Heavenly Master, it's not time to go. If there is no Dingjun Mountain, Hanzhong will fall sooner or later. At this moment, we can only hope that General Yang Ren can hold on until the reinforcements arrive. Give an order quickly. If you delay it for a moment, the possibility of Dingjun Mountain losing is one point." Yang Song urged Zhang Lu anxiously, the military situation was urgent, and he would continue to suffer from the chaos.

Zhang Lu seemed to wake up and immediately ordered: "Let Yang Bai lead his army 15,000 to rescue Dingjunshan! Then send people to Chengdu and ask the provincial governor to send troops to rescue Hanzhong, hurry!"

...

Guo Jia, who led more than 200,000 troops to Yangping Pass, first thing after entering the pass was to let Sima Ju and Xu He lead 30,000 soldiers under his command to attack Dingjunshan.

The two generals had a total of 60,000 soldiers, and Yang Ren had only 10,000 defenders on Dingjun Mountain. This was a tough battle. Whether 60,000 could be captured by 10,000 is not important in Guo Jia's eyes. The key is how many troops Sima Ju and Xu He could have left after this battle.

Whether it was Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu and others, or Guo Jia himself, they were actually deeply afraid of the heavy troops in the hands of the remaining generals of the Yellow Turbans.

Even at Yangping Pass, the sound of shouts and killings from Dingjun Mountain could be heard in the night that should have been silent.

Guo Jia, wearing a dark red brocade robe, held the stone wall with his hands, looked at Dingjun Mountain from afar, and Zhang Yan, who was dressed in white and dressed in clothes behind him, looked calm.

"Feiyan, who do you think is the most brave in the battle against Dong in the Kwantung Army?"

Feiyan is Zhang Yan's bandit name, but Zhang Yan himself has no word for pronunciation, so he gets used to others to call him by Feiyan.

Zhang Yan replied calmly: "The General of the Imperial General believes that the eighteen princes are famous but not real. Although he claims to be numerous elite soldiers and powerful generals, the only one who truly admires the General of the Imperial General is Wu Cheng."

No matter how Sun Jian was so destitute that he was living under someone else’s roof, at least his Marquis of Wucheng was granted by the imperial court or a Marquis.

Guo Jia, who always had a faint expression, then asked: "The final outcome of Sun Jian's business in Changsha for many years was that his relatives and relatives were betrayal in Jingzhou and he could only stay under Yuan Shu's tent. What else could he admire?"

Zhang Yan replied in a deep voice: "The General of the Mo is from a military general. The General of the Mo is not commenting on what the Marquis of Wu Cheng did in Jingzhou. However, the Marquis of Wu Cheng defeated Lu Bu and Hu Zhen and forced Dong Zhuo to move the capital to Chang'an. Only this ability to fight the war is admired from the bottom of his heart."

Heroes cherish each other often have a common point in character or as a certain point. Generals admire generals, advisers admire advisers, and heroes sigh at heroes, and so on.

Tonight, there was no wind or clouds, with stars densely spreading and bright stars. Guo Jia looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes and said softly: "How will Lu Bu fight with Wucheng Hou? So what about the two armies compared with the forces?"

At this moment, Zhang Yan seemed to have noticed Guo Jia's intention of asking questions, put away his relaxed attitude of chatting, and said solemnly: "Lu Bu, among the people, fight against generals by one. The last general believes that no one in the world can defeat him. When Lu Bu and Wu Cheng Hou were in the first battle, the troops and Ma Li were slightly better than Wu Cheng Hou."

Nodded slightly, Guo Jia asked back: "Why did Lu Bu lose? And he lost very badly."

Zhang Yan showed a solemn expression on his face, lowered his head slightly and whispered: "Lu Bu and Hu Zhen are incompatible, and the Bingzhou army and Liangzhou army have been resentful for a long time, and they cannot work together."

Guo Jia, who looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, sighed softly and said, "It is not enough to win over the heroes of the world to build extraordinary careers. Feiyan, Yizhou Liu Yan, I did not take it seriously, but there are people in the world that make me feel difficult. If I want to become an emperor, I must make the heroes of the world surrender. Whether it is Yuan Benchu, the three masters of the four generations and three kings, Cao Mengde, who advocated the righteous army to call on all the heroes, even if Feiyan, the Marquis of Wucheng, you admire, one day, I will make them surrender to me. If not, I, Guo Jia, surrender to them. At that time, life and death are no longer important."

The lord in front of him said that the force of the military is only mediocre, and killing enemies on the battlefield will never be comparable to any of his military generals. But just one sentence "The hero of the world" made Zhang Yan feel respectful, and this courage is enough to take charge of the leader.

Zhang Yan was both civil and military. He was already a young leader in the Yellow Turban Army back then. He was highly appreciated by Zhang Niujiao because he was not only extraordinary in force, but also in strategy and mind. His abilities were far from comparable to ordinary Yellow Turban generals. Too many generals in the Yellow Turban Army were illiterate and were valued only by force.

"The lord has a rare bear and tiger general in the world, and a long-term adviser. The civil and military work hard to help the lord work together, and will surely achieve the eternal imperial career."

Zhang Yan's words made Guo Jia smile gently, and he said as if he was joking: "Yes, I am not Dong Zhuo, how could I make the absurd mistake of letting Lu Bu and Hu Zhen fight together."

This sentence made Zhang Yan feel cold sweat from behind.

Although Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's adopted son, Dong Zhuo was not at ease with him, but he had to use it. If Lu Bu led the Bingzhou army alone to resist the princes of Kanto, Dong Zhuo was worried that Lu Bu would rebel in front of the formation. Because Lu Bu was rebellious and rebellious, Dong Zhuo took him into the account with a rebellion. It was understandable that he was afraid that Lu Bu would take the lord again. So Dong Zhuo asked Lu Bu to fight, but Liangzhou army also went together, and his strength seemed to have increased greatly. However, on the one hand, Dong Zhuo wanted to supervise Lu Bu, but on the other hand, he did not expect that the conflict between Bingzhou army and Liangzhou army led to a great victory.

In this chaotic times, it is common to have factions between the generals under the princes. The origin, status and knowledge can lead to the emergence of factions. The wise princes will use the open and secret struggles of their generals to create a healthy competition environment, so that their combat power will not decline but increase, while the incompetent princes will be helpless and lay hidden dangers.

The investment of the four generals of the remaining Yellow Turbans gave Guo Jia the capital to rise. In turn, Guo Jia would be afraid that these four people would hold heavy troops. When the four people were in power, they just followed Zhang Jiao's will. How could Guo Jia feel at ease with this loyalty? Zhang Yan even fulfilled Zhang Jiao's arrangements during his lifetime through Zhang Niujiao.

It’s not that Guo Jia is afraid of Zhang Yan and others’ rebellion, but that he wants to kill the buds in the cradle.

It is true that the four of them have soldiers, but without Guo Jia, they either hide in the mountains or attack one city and one land and wait for destruction. Guo Jia doesn't know whether they can see this clearly, but Guo Jia has to guard against Zhang Yan, who has a 100,000 army. In his heart, he hopes that Zhang Yan will assist him wholeheartedly. After all, Zhang Yan is also a rare general.

Even though Zhang Yan, who is very knowledgeable, does not have the talent to be familiar with classics and history, he still deeply understands the situation in front of him. Guo Jia is afraid and loves him.

I am afraid that he will lose his future by looking short-sighted.

Love means loving him with courage and strategy to take on a great responsibility.

With more than 200,000 soldiers under his command, nearly 200,000 were commanded by the Yellow Turban generals, and the first thing he was to bear was Zhang Yan's 100,000 troops. If Zhang Yan still thought that as long as he was loyal and had no matter how many soldiers he held, then his book would be in vain.

"The lord has ambition to the world. Zhang Yan is willing to overcome obstacles for the lord throughout his life. Even if he is a front horse, he will have no regrets. The lord, General Xu, General Dian, and General Zhou have only five thousand soldiers and horses. It is too few for their generals. The last general is willing to transfer 30,000 soldiers and three generals to the three generals, so that the three generals can do their best."

Zhang Yan knelt behind Guo Jia on one knee, speaking sincerely without hesitation.

He handed over the 90,000 army under his command, leaving only 10,000. This is Zhang Yan's action to express his loyalty to Guo Jia.

A truly lofty general will not only look at what he sees. Zhang Yan wants to be valued by Guo Jia and wants to make achievements. Not only can he show his ambitions, but he can also leave glory and status for his descendants.

Guo Jia knew that Zhang Yan had thought it through, and his willingness to hand over a 90,000 army was enough to show his loyalty.

Turning around and helping Zhang Yan up, Guo Jia said gently: "I am deeply pleased that Feiyan can understand my painstaking efforts. If I take the army in your hands, how can I be worthy of you? However, the land of Hanzhong is not a small matter. I want to seize Dingjun Mountain. After I seize Dingjun Mountain, Feiyan and Wenyuan will be ambushed in Dingjun Mountain for three days. If there are no reinforcements from Hanzhong to rescue Dingjun Mountain within three days, then you and Wenyuan will capture Hanzhong together. Then Feiyan can leave 50,000 troops for Wenyuan, let him stay in Hanzhong and guard the gateway of Yizhou for me. Feiyan can bring Hanzhong food, grass and supplies back to Yangping Pass, and then rush the army south with me to take straight to Chengdu."
