Guzang City, the city is in the shape of a dragon, also known as Wolong City, originally built by the Xiongnu, it is the county seat of Wuwei County, it is the rich town of Hexi, the key and important town of the Silk Road.
Although it was already the cold winter season at this time, Guzang City was a lively scene.
The streets are crowded with people, the city gates are wide open, everyone is elated, and there are bustling voices everywhere, except for the people who come and go or the soldiers of the Gongsun army wearing armor or holding knives, it seems to be the scene of rushing to the market in peacetime.
All the changes happened because the Yan Wangjun came south and arrived in Wuwei County Outside Guzang City, a large group of men and horses patrolled back and forth.
There are about more than 1,000 elite warriors, each with two horses, carrying steel knives at their waists, and there are people shouting horses and neighing everywhere.
The streets of the city were crowded with traders from the south and local herders, who exchanged ironware, cotton clothes, silk fabrics, salt, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn for their cattle and horses.
In the bustling and lively South Gate Street, there was a sudden shout "His Royal Highness King Yan has arrived, get out of the way quickly", everyone on the street hurriedly avoided and made a way, but they couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a young king in white robe and silver armor, riding a sweat and blood horse as high as one zhang, surrounded by a guard of fresh clothes and angry horses, and came proudly.
"Long Live King Yan" "Long Live King Yan" "Long Live King Yan" The crowd on both sides suddenly boiled, and the mountain cried incessantly, in this era, "long live" was not a special title for the emperor, and the Qiang and Han people used it to express their love for the young king.
Gongsun Bai's face showed a smile like a spring flower, and he kept raising the whip to greet the people on both sides.
After inspecting the streets, Gongsun Bai returned to the temporary mansion satisfied, only to learn that Guo Jia had been waiting in the lobby for a long time.
Gongsun Bai knew that the stakes were high, so he immediately threw the horsewhip and reins to Wu Ming, and rushed towards the lobby surrounded by several guards.
In the lobby, as soon as Guo Jia and Sima Yi saw Gongsun Bai, they immediately greeted them.
When the three of them sat down in turn, Guo Jia immediately handed over an urgent letter, and after Gongsun Bai took the letter and read it hurriedly, his face immediately changed slightly.
Liu Bei actually went to Hanzhong Liu Bei, who got Zhuge Liang in advance, although he was suspicious of Liu Biao and was squeezed out by Jingzhou's Cai family and Kuai's clan, but under Zhuge Liang's advice, he gradually became the No. 1 general under Liu Biao's command, although Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Huang Zu and others were single-mindedly excluded, but these people themselves were not united, and compared with an old fox like Liu Bei and a strategist like Zhuge Liang with 100 intelligence, it was far worse after all.
Cai Mao and Kuai Yue and others supported the ten-year-old prince Liu Cong, while Liu Bei and others supported the eldest prince Liu Qi.
Huang Zu and Liu Bei were not all the way, but because Huang Zu also supported his eldest son Liu Qi, although Huang Zu had always looked at Liu Bei unpleasantly, but because of the same political interests, and under Zhuge Liang's several clever coercions, Huang Zu finally became Liu Bei's ally, and the two had controlled two-thirds of the Jingzhou army, coupled with the influence of Zhuge Liang's family and father-in-law Huang Chengyan and Lumen Academy, Liu Bei also received the support of many people among the Jingzhou scholars, so that Liu Bei naturally overwhelmed Cai Mao and Kuai's family, Become Liu Biao's first favorite minister.
Gongsun Bai arranged 300,000 troops in the south of Xudu, and the good generals were like clouds, and the armor was excellent, Zhuge Liang naturally had self-knowledge, and did not dare to go north easily, otherwise another big defeat, I am afraid that the Sun clan in Jiangdong would be cheaper, so Zhuge Liang turned his attention to the southwest.
Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Shu are the targets of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.
To the north there was the heavy army of the Gongsun clan, to the south was the wild land, and to the east there was the powerful Sun clan, and the only advance was to the west.
Hanzhong is in front, Shuzhong is behind, of course, Hanzhong is the first to bear the brunt, and the land of Hanzhong is adjacent to Guanzhong, once Hanzhong is occupied, it can be killed from Hanzhong into Guanzhong at any time, attacking Gongsun Bai's back road, and to the west is the only place to enter Shuzhong, so for Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, Hanzhong is a must-take.
After repeated invitations, Liu Biao couldn't stand it, and Liu Bei's request finally agreed to Liu Bei's attack on Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
So, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to be the main general, Chen Zhi as the deputy general, led an army of 50,000 to attack Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang, who had been planning for a long time, had long been eyeing Hanzhong, and Zhuge Liang was able to bribe Zhang Lu's general Yang Song as an internal response, as a result, the Jingzhou army was like a bamboo, and soon captured most of the land of Hanzhong, and the soldiers surrounded Hanzhong County to govern South Zhengcheng, and then South Zhengcheng was broken, Zhang Lu's general Yang Ren was killed, Zhang Lu himself was missing, and the entire Hanzhong fell into the hands of the Jingzhou army.
After taking Hanzhong, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to be the Taishou of Hanzhong, and got Liu Biao's consent, so that the land of Hanzhong nominally belonged to Liu Biao, and was actually controlled by Liu Bei.
Gongsun Bai narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Liu Bei has never been a good bird, and now he has Zhuge Liang, a bad species, and now he is even more powerful, since he has taken Hanzhong in advance, I think the pseudo-emperor throne of Jingzhou will fall into Liu Bei's hands sooner or later." ” Guo Jia nodded and said, "Taking Hanzhong is only the first step, and the next step for Liu Bei is to take Shuzhong." ” Liu Bei's takeover of Shuzhong is probably an inevitable trend, Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain seven or eight years ahead of schedule, and Shuzhong is afraid that it will fall into the hands of Liu Bei in advance.
At this time, Sima Yi on the side said: "Hanzhong is adjacent to Guanzhong, so you must be careful to defend, and the lower officials are worried that Guan Yu will take the opportunity to attack Guanzhong from Hanzhong."
It is also necessary to set up passes in the Meridian Valley, Bao Chuan Road, Chen Cang Road and other valley roads in the middle of the customs to prevent the thieves from sneaking up. ” Gongsun Bai said: "Very good, please Zhongda immediately write a letter to Guo Huai and Liang Xi in Guanzhong for Gu Gu, and ask them to immediately establish a pass on the road leading to Hanzhong, and there must be no mistake." ” "Whoa" Gongsun Bai took a deep breath and said, "It seems that the battle of the Western Expedition has to end quickly." ” Jiuquan County, the boundary of Lufu County.
The vast Gobi, the reckless yellow sand, at a glance, is all desolate land, except for the yellow sand, is the withered yellow grassland, stretching for hundreds of miles of land is uninhabited. 、 The remnant sun is like blood, and the wind and sand are full of sky.
"Purr" The heavy sound of the horse's nose sounded leisurely, and a horse galloped forward, the knight wore a felt hat and a beard, wore a saber at his waist, and carried a longbow on his shoulder, and three or five feathered arrows poked out from behind his shoulder, piercing the sky, and the knight stood on the hill beam, and saw that there was no movement in the four fields, and galloped back to the west.
After a stick of incense, the yellow sand rolled in the sky, and a group of cavalry rode up, all holding good sabers, and the sharp blades reflected the remnant sun in the west slope and rose a dazzling cold light.
Among the hundreds of Hufu cavalry, a tall, open-top carriage was clustered, and on top of the carriage, two people sat side by side.
On the left, a tall bearded man, with a long beard and a hooked nose, has a typical beard face, and his face is full of majesty; The one on the right is relatively thin, but extremely strong, even if he is wearing a bearded leather robe, he can't hide the bulging muscles on his body.
These two people are the most powerful ministers under the command of King Tianyun Mi of the Wusun Kingdom, the strongest in the Western Regions, the person on the left is the prime minister of the Wusun Kingdom, Dalu is equivalent to the prime minister Qingyunmi, and he is also the younger brother of the king of Wusun, and the person on the right is the left general of the Wusun country, which is equivalent to the general Tie Mi.
Wusun dominates the Western Regions, the most powerful in the Western Regions, occupying most of the Western Regions, and recently attacked the Qiuci Kingdom, entered the Qiuci King's Palace, drove away the king of Qiuci Bai Mang, and helped the brother of the Qiuci King Bai Yu to ascend the throne, since then all the countries of the Western Regions are not afraid to obey, and Tianyunmi has long been not satisfied with dominating the Western Regions, and has aimed his attention at the Han Dynasty east of Yumen Pass, but the people of the Western Regions have always been very in awe of the huge Han Dynasty, so they dare not move.
Now it happened that Ma Chao and Wusun Guozuo General Tie Mi were old and desperate, Ma Chao actually sent a letter to Tianyun Mi through Tie Mi, asking him to ally with him to attack Gongsun Bai and divide the land of Liangzhou.
It was sleepiness that met a pillow, and Tianyunmi immediately sent his brother Qingyunmi and Zuo General Tie Mi to Zhangye County to negotiate the alliance with Ma Chao.
It's just that Qing Yunmi is not satisfied with this errand, he thinks that Ma Chao is just an ordinary general of a big man, and he is not even qualified to sit on an equal footing with Zuo General Tie Mi, let alone ask him, a big man, to negotiate, so he complains all the way.
"We Wusun is powerful in more than 50 countries in the Western Regions, and even a Han general dares to ally with Kunmo, which is really unreasonable.
In my opinion, Kunmo should directly send troops eastward, sweep Liangzhou, and then try to march into Guanzhong and the Central Plains.
Qing Yunmi said dissatisfiedly.
Tie Mi hurriedly comforted: "Don't blame me, my lord, Kun Mo has long had the intention of going east, and now Ma Chao has come to ask for help in Kun Mo's arms, so he attaches great importance to it."
Moreover, although Ma Chao is only the position of General Andy and inherits the position of Ma Teng on his own, he is the first general in Liangzhou, and he is respected by the Qiang people of Liangzhou as the general of Shenweitian, which should not be underestimated."
Qing Yunmi sneered disapprovingly: "What kind of Shenwei Tian general, is really so powerful, how can he be beaten by their Yan Wang Gongsun Bai to lose his armor and ask us for help, I expect him to be incompetent." ” "Woo woo" The pioneer cavalry at the front suddenly discovered something, and hurriedly sounded the trumpet to warn, and for a time a low and loud horn sounded in the sky.
"Huh" A feathered arrow swept through the air, coldly piercing the throat of the Wusun cavalry who were warning in front.
"Ugh" The Wusun cavalry let out a half-scream, and fell from his horseback, and the low, desolate sound of the horn came to an abrupt end.
"The horse thief is coming, the horse thief is coming."

The Wusun cavalry finally came back to their senses, and I don't know who was the first to shout, and there was chaos for a while.
Tie Mi's face changed greatly, and he flew down from the carriage with a vertical leap, turned over a tall horse, drew his sword, and shouted loudly: "Don't be alarmed, line up to meet the enemy, and protect Xiang Dalu" The Wusun cavalry finally calmed down, and under Tie Mi's order, they quickly lined up and prepared to meet the enemy.
"Whew" Strange shouts resounded in the air, and a group of men and horses rolled in, each holding a shining saber, straddle a horse, carry a longbow, and have a black cloth on their faces, which looked very strange.
The general at the front, holding a steel knife of thirty or forty catties in his hand, swung the blade forward fiercely, rushed down from the mountain beam, and the heavy horse's hooves struck the dry and hard land, and suddenly rose up billowing smoke and dust, and in the smoke and dust flying in the sky, countless cavalry swept out from behind the mountain beam, drowning in the Wusun cavalry like a tide.
From the mountain beam to the front of the Wusun cavalry array, it was only a few hundred paces, and the cavalry charge came in an instant.
