Xun You nodded in agreement, then exited Yuan Shu's room and went to the telegraph station to send a telegram to Zhang Liao.
"General, please call me back, my lord."
The telegram was quickly sent back, and the soldiers immediately presented the telegram to Zhang Liao.
After Zhang Liao read the telegram, he showed an expression like this. His lord did not disappoint him, but he did not expect that Ma Teng and his son would lead their troops to surrender. It was really awesome.
"You follow me to the tribe and wait for the arrival of General Zilong."
Since Yuan Shu ordered himself to join the West Route Army, there was nothing more to say. Zhang Liao took the telegraph squad directly to the Arile tribe, and at the same time sent out scouts to look for traces of Zhao Yun.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Wang Ling also rushed to Fanhe with his soldiers and horses in Rile to reunite with Zhang Liao. The Fanhe area was cleaned up by Jia Kui. The tribes of all sizes either surrendered or were destroyed. The Qiang people in Fanhe
The forces were wiped out, and finally the scouts discovered Zhao Yun's traces, and then led Zhao Yun to the Arile tribe to meet Zhang Liao.
Seeing Zhao Yun coming with tens of thousands of cavalry, Zhang Liao directly led the bandit army out of camp to greet him.
"Zhang Liao led the bandits to pay homage to General Zhao Yun."
After the two armies rounded off, Zhang Liao directly greeted Zhao Yun. Although both were generals, Zhao Yun was a veteran general and was known as the number one cavalry general in the Jizhou Army. Moreover, he was also the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army this time. He
It is also appropriate to pay tribute to Zhao Yun.
"Brother Wenyuan, there's no need to be like this. We are Paoze, not superiors and subordinates."
Seeing Zhang Liao being so polite, Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile and signaled that he didn't need to be so outspoken.
"That's right. You are the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. I will cooperate with you in cleaning up the West Route."
Although Zhao Yun said this, Zhang Liao did not dare to listen to it. After all, in the army, there are differences between commanders and generals. If he really acted like this, then so many years of his military career would be in vain.
"Okay, let's not talk too much. How many soldiers are there in the Dangkou army now? Also, how many prisoners and surrendered tribes are there now? Give me some information."
Since Zhang Liao was like this, Zhao Yun had nothing to say and directly turned the topic to the situation of Rile and Fanhe.
"Now we still have more than 25,000 combatable troops, of which 2,000 brothers have completely stayed here. The remaining 2,000 people are seriously injured and need to recuperate. There are probably nearly 7 prisoners in the other two places.
Ten thousand people, most of whom are old and young, there are always thirteen tribes who have returned to the tribe, and I will arrange five hundred elite cavalry to garrison each in Fanhe and Rile."
Faced with the question raised by Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao immediately gave the answer, because this was something Zhao Yun would definitely ask here, so he also did his homework in advance.
"Okay, not bad, he is indeed Brother Wenyuan, whom the Lord always praises."
After listening to Zhang Liao's answer, Zhao Yun also nodded. Whether it was his own fighting strength or the arrangement of prisoners, Zhang Liao did a very good job. It seems that the military counselor really made a profit when he traded Lu Bu for Zhang Liao.
"Zilong is ridiculously praising him. Zhang Liao is just an ordinary person. How can he be worthy of being praised by the lord?"
Zhang Liao shook his head, he could still hear these compliments.
"Okay, in that case, the Fanhe and Rile areas will be arranged according to your ideas. The army will rest for a day and set off tomorrow to go straight to Zhide. I will capture Zhangye County in one fell swoop."
Since there is nothing going on here, Zhao Yun also directly sets his sights on the administrative center of Zhangye County. This is the core of the Qiang Di tribe's notification to Zhangye County. As long as he can capture this place, it will be much easier to capture the surrounding places.
"promise."
Zhao Yun was in action, and Gao Lan was not idle either. He first led his troops straight to Wuwei, crossed a large desert, and surrounded and annihilated the Kang tribe entrenched there. Then his troops left Liangzhou and went north to the Xianbei grassland, detouring through the grassland, just like
The divine soldiers descended from the sky and directly attacked Lian County in Beidi County, and surrounded and annihilated the Kermu tribe of the Di tribe in shock.
Then without stopping, they swept all the way from north to south, and the troops forced Fuping, the county seat of the north. The Fuping Qiang Sarayu tribe was forced by Gao Lan's power and surrendered without a fight. After taking Fuping, Gao Lan chose to rest temporarily.
Two days later, the Sarayu tribe's surrender army led the way south and directly wiped out five Qiang Di tribes, including the Ken'er tribe, the Yuqi tribe, and the Shanmeng tribe. The entire Beidi County shivered under Gaolan's Bingfeng.
The West Route Army and the North Route Army fought consecutively and victoriously. Yuan Shu's Middle Route Army was not idle either. Going south from Wuwei County, it first defeated the Cha'er Na Division of the warriors entrenched in Hanyang County, then went straight to Pingxiang, followed by Hu Cha Na in Xianqin County.
The troops surrendered without a fight, and finally the troops surrounded Ji County, the seat of Hanyang County.
After a hard battle, the Fengyu Tie tribe, the largest tribe in Hanyang County, was completely wiped out. For a while, the Qiang and Di tribe in Hanyang County surrendered. It can be said that the situation in Liangzhou is very good, and it is only a matter of time before it is pacified.
When the Jizhou army was killing all sides in Liangzhou, Li Jue of Chang'an finally launched his attack. Three thousand soldiers and horses sent each other off with great fanfare to the Han emperor, heading eastward past Sili and directly towards Yangzhou.
The whereabouts of the Han Emperor were immediately known to Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and he immediately gathered his civil and military personnel together.
"Everyone, did you know that Emperor Han came out of Chang'an?"
Liu Biao looked at his subordinate Wen Wu with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"My lord, do you want to welcome Emperor Han to Jingzhou?"
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Liang couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Well, I do have such an idea."
Seeing Kuai Liang frown, Liu Biao also nodded.
"Lord, you must not have such thoughts."
Kuai Yue couldn't help but take a step forward, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.
"How to say?"
Looking at Kuai Yue's expression, Liu Biao couldn't help but be filled with doubts.
"My lord, do you know why Emperor Han came out of Chang'an now?
Why did Li Jue and others give up the trump card of Emperor Han?"
Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao and asked him this question directly.
"I do not know."
Liu Biao originally wanted to say that Li Jue might have discovered it, but thinking that this was impossible, he simply shook his head.
"My lord, it can be said that Emperor Han is Li Jue's biggest support now. The most fundamental reason why he sent Emperor Han away now is to divert trouble to the east."
Kuai Yue looked at Liu Biao and nodded. As the saying goes, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, not knowing is not scary, because with people like me who know, pretending to understand is the scariest thing.
“Draining trouble to the east?
What’s the explanation?”
Hearing Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao was even more confused.
"My lord, who is the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty now?"
Since Liu Biao doesn't know, then you should help him teach him a lesson.
"The most powerful princes in the Han Dynasty are none other than Jizhou Mu, Yuan Shu, and Yuan Gongdao."
Although Liu Biao didn't want to admit that he was inferior to others when faced with Kuai Yue's question, he readily gave the answer.
