Cao Cao, who received a response from the princes of all parties, was in high spirits. \ In addition to Yuan Shao, who was still waiting, Liu Biao, Lü Bu, Sun Ce, Ma Teng, Han Sui and other princes near Yizhou all agreed to unite with Cao Cao.
The momentum of Yizhou's development is too strong, which has caused concern from all sides.
Now that there are people in the lead, they are naturally willing to join forces.
Today, only Yuan Shao can ignore the threat of Yizhou, so when there are constant arguments under his command, he chooses to wait and see In Chang'an, Wu Shun was checking the intelligence of the black-clothed guards in the city, and when he saw that Sun Ce had also joined the coalition army, his heart was like a hammer blowing "It seems that I am still too naïve, the princes are divided, they are not emotional, they only care about their own interests" When he fought side by side with Sun Jian, Wu Shun really admired Sun Jian's bravery and straightforwardness.
So he gave selfless help to Sun Jian when he was killed.
He was even willing to let Sun Ce recruit troops in Wuling County Sun Ce's choice did disappoint Wu Shun, but it also allowed him to see people's hearts clearly "The allied forces of the princes will assemble in Luoyang next month.
It's time for me to plan too."
From the moment he sent out his troops, Wu Shun knew that he might be targeted by various princes, and Cao Cao was in control of the emperor after all.
"Qu'a, bring the two military advisors" "Yes" There are 150,000 soldiers in Chang'an, as long as the arrangements are made properly, Wu Shun is not afraid that the princes' coalition army has Hangu Pass in hand, and the eastern front only needs to be defended, and when Han Sui and Ma Teng of Xiliang are defeated, the army can return to fight a decisive battle with Cao Cao "The Lord" Xu Shu and Fa Zheng came together.
Now the situation is a little delicate, and the 150,000 people in Yizhou need to be well arranged "Two military divisions, now that our army is in danger of being attacked from both sides, how to arrange the various legions, the two of you have a clever plan" Charging into battle, there are front-line generals, planning and arrangement, Wu Shun is still willing to listen to the wise man.
"Lord, even so, our army can only defend on the front line, and the main attack on the east front has Hangu Pass, and only tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers can hold our army and defeat Han Sui and Ma Teng in the west in one go."
"Yuan Zhi is right, lord, choose one of the two, we can only defend and attack" Fa Zheng and Xu Shu have already discussed privately that defending on the eastern front and attacking on the western front are the tactics of the most beneficial state "I'm afraid that Cao Cao is too fierce" Wu Shun was a little worried about the eastern front, after all, there were three princes' coalition over there, and there were peerless generals like Lu Bu "Yuan Zhi, you take 20,000 horses to Hangu Pass, and be responsible for guarding you and Dongfang together, there should be no problem" Let Xu Shu and Dongfang Qiang be in charge of defense, so that Wu Shun can rest assured.
"Lord, Hangu Pass is dangerous, there are 40,000 horses, and it will be able to hold it" If there were only 20,000 ordinary soldiers, Xu Shu would not have much confidence.
However, with the Suzaku Legion, it is different, it is elite and Dongfang is strong, but it is an undefeated general in the Wuling Army "There are a lot of cavalry in Xiliang, so we have to transfer Wei Yan's Green Dragon Cavalry back, and then the White Tiger Legion will be the main defense, and the Green Dragon Cavalry will mainly attack."
Xiliang was mostly light cavalry, and if there was no cavalry, the White Tiger Legion would be very passive, so Wu Shun was ready to transfer Wei Yan to the Western Front.
"The Lord's Wisdom" Xu Shu and Fa Zheng complimented together.
"Okay, let's deal with it like this first, send the order back to Chengdu, and let Kong Ming see the opportunity" In Yizhou, there are still many troops.
Wu Shun was besieged in Chang'an, and it was difficult to guarantee that the opposition forces in Yizhou would not take the opportunity to cause trouble With Zhuge Liang, a talent who is good at taking care of the overall situation, is in the rear, and Wu Shun can have no worries Hangu Pass, Wei Yanzai said goodbye to Dongfang Qiang.
He received the order and immediately rushed to the Western Front with his troops to join Zhang Xiong "General Dongfang, Xu Junshi is coming, brother, I will go to Hangu Pass first and hand it over to the general."
Hangu Pass was taken by surprise by the Green Dragoons.
Wei Yan prefers to fight with the princes' coalition here.
But he also knew that the White Tiger Legion of Zhang Xiong, who needed him more on the Western Front, was all foot soldiers, and there was no problem in defense, but when he encountered cavalry, there was no way to pursue and no initiative, and he suffered a lot in the fight "Wen Chang and go, Hangu Pass, I will definitely guard it for you, and the princes and coalition forces don't want to pass from here" There was a dangerous pass, and Dongfang Qiang was naturally full of confidence.
He felt that 20,000 Suzaku troops were enough, but Wu Shun still sent Xu Shu and 20,000 soldiers to reinforce him.
It can be seen that the status of Hangu Pass in Wu Shun's heart, and the ownership of Hangu Pass can determine the final direction of this war If Cao Cao's coalition forces broke through Hangu Pass, Wu Shun could only withdraw his troops from the Western Front and then retreat to Hanzhong The army of Yizhou was mobilized very quickly, and the eastern front was presided over by Xu Shu before Cao Cao's joint gathering, and 40,000 horses were quietly waiting for the attack from the east Wu Shun personally led the troops on the Western Front, preparing to defeat Han Sui and Ma Teng in a battle, and invade Liangzhou, in fact, the purpose of Wu Shun's troops out of Chang'an was to take Liangzhou A month passed in a blink of an eye, Cao Cao gathered a total of 200,000 troops of the princes of the three roads in Luoyang, and marched towards Chang'an, with the momentum of breaking through Chang'an On the Western Front, Han Sui and Ma Teng also joined forces and led 100,000 horses to Chang'an "Newspaper" "My lord, the forward of the Xiliang Army has reached ten miles ahead" On the third day of the convergence of Wu Shun and Zhang Xiong and others, Han Sui Ma Tengzhen prepared to make an attempt to attack the Yizhou army "The White Tiger Legion is arrayed and the two wings of the Green Dragoon are ready" The Yizhou army lined up in a neat battle formation, quietly waiting for the upcoming battle The soldiers of the White Tiger Battalion all had sharp eyes, this time they were facing the fierce Xiliang cavalry, it is said that Ma Teng's son Ma Chao is good at leading the cavalry to charge into battle, but the White Tiger Battalion is fearless They have the green dragon cavalry beside them, and there are also the heavy cavalry of the guard battalion behind them, and this contact can definitely teach the Xiliang army a painful lesson.
I just don't know if Wu Shun will let the guard battalion charge into battle Before the Xiliang army set off, Ma Teng found Ma Chao and explained him some things to pay attention to in wartime, and he was very satisfied with his son, who had the title of Shenwei Tian's general.
However, the Wuling Army had a good reputation, and it took a short time to attack Yizhou.
Chang'an fell into their hands even more quietly.
The strength is definitely not to be underestimated Ma Teng was afraid that his son would be careless, and he would not take the Yizhou army in his eyes, and it would be the Xiliang army that would suffer when the time came "Meng Qi, you must be careful when rushing into battle, Zhang Xiong is said to be a powerful opponent of Lu Bu, you must not be careless" These are the original words of Ma Teng's confession to his son And Ma Chao, who is he, he broke out of the name of Shenweitian General at a young age, the more Ma Teng took a fancy to Zhang Xiong, the more he wanted to fight Zhang Xiong, the young Ma Chao, eager to have a decent opponent "Father, please rest assured, the child knows the severity" Ma Chao led 5,000 cavalry to serve as the main attacker, of course, this time it was just a mutual test, and he would not send all his forces The Xiliang army sent out 5,000 cavalry, but Wu Shun dispatched 2,000 White Tiger Battalions and 5,000 Green Dragoons In the case of mental calculation or unintentional, as long as the tempting Xiliang army is not strong, it will be difficult for them to escape The White Tiger Battalion defended frontally, and once it made contact, the Blue Dragon Cavalry, under the leadership of Wei Yan, would attack from both flanks to surround the invading enemy The sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the smoke and dust billowed tentatively, and immediately began Wu Shun kept staring at the silver-armored young general in the distance, he knew that it was Ma Chao The tiger general who was invincible in his previous life was good at leading cavalry battles Wu Shun arranged for the elite to fight, and what he wanted most was this person Before the war, Wu Shun had already given orders to Zhang Xiong and Wei Yan to try their best to capture Ma Chao alive:
