After hearing Jia Xu's inquiry, Hu Zhen's gaze became cold: "The wounded soldiers stayed in Luoyang, pretending to be a big camp, deceiving the world. Li Jue and Guo Si led 20,000 cavalry to detour Nanyang to attack Wuguan. After General Niu was killed, he collected infantry for 40,000 or 50,000. However, he lost a lot in the mountains in the past two days. But now, with Wenhe's troops, you only need to go west to break through Chang'an and avenge Dong Gong!"

Speaking of this, Hu Zhen paused and couldn't help but say, "If Mr. Dong was killed, if it weren't for Wenhe's clever plan, we would have stopped. This time, Wenhe should remember his first merit!"

"What's the point of saving this life?" Jia Xu still said calmly: "If Wang Yun had not been in power and wanted to kill all the people of Liangzhou, we would have returned to our hometown to live in seclusion, so how could this be?"

Hu Zhen said with a hatred: "Wang Yun is narrow-minded. Cai Zhonglang was only respected by Gong Dong, so he was killed, let alone us. As Wenhe said, if we abandoned our troops and returned to our hometown, we may be afraid that Wang Yun would order a pavilion chief to kill us soon."

Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly and said, "This time he led the people to the west to attack Chang'an and avenge Dong Gong. If the matter can be successful, our safety can be guaranteed. We should serve the country to conquer the world. If not, we will return to Liangzhou and have a way out to protect."

This is the world. As the highest ruler, an inadvertent attitude and behavior often panics the people below. Wang Yun insists on killing Cai Yong, which makes the people in Liangzhou panic. Even if he is as wise and calm as Jia Xu, he is extremely afraid of Wang Yun. He can only take risks when he is in the forefront of life and death.

Or maybe Jia Xu's move is not necessarily wrong. The court battles are extremely dangerous. If Jia Xu and others really surrender, under the instigation of the Yuan force, Wang Yun might not have driven all these Dong Zhuo's generals to death.

After sunset, a large torch was lit in the southeast of Huayin County. At this time, nearly 10,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers had gathered here. After these Qiang and Hu soldiers had spent dinner, they rested in the camp.

On the Qinling trail, Qiang and Hu soldiers were still rushing out continuously. In the trail, torches were like long dragons, winding deep into the Qinling trail.

In the big tent, Hu Zhen was still discussing with Jia Xu in secret.

"Wenhe." After Hu Zhen was full of food, he seemed excited under the fire: "It is estimated that all the soldiers and horses in the mountains will not be able to come out after dawn. I will send troops tomorrow at noon, can I?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Soldiers are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses coming out of the mountain now, and at midnight it can exceed 20,000. These 20,000 soldiers and horses plus Huayin soldiers and horses are 30,000. After eating, they can rest for two hours. At Yin, they can be dispatched at Mao. At night, they will defeat Song Yi first and collect their troops. There should be 50,000 soldiers and go west quickly. Don't hesitate. As for the remaining soldiers in the mountain, you can have a meal and rest, and then come."

Hu Zhen's eyes lit up: "Wenhe's plan is wonderful. At the time of Mao, how can the erect Confucians be prepared? They can definitely be defeated in one fell swoop!"

Jia Xu said: "Song Yi's command is mostly an old subordinate of Gong Dong, and the general raised a banner and ordered the soldiers to shout, "It's a mess of the morale of the army, and it will be twice the result with half the effort."

Hu Zhen nodded repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something again, his face looked a little ugly, and he said, "Wenhe, now Hedong soldiers occupy Shan County, Mianchi, what should he do if Hedong soldiers take the opportunity to attack from behind?"

Thinking of the Hedong soldiers and horses he encountered in Mianchi a few days ago, Hu Zhen still shuddered. The Qiang and Hu soldiers under his command were also elite, but compared with the Hedong soldiers, it was like a vicious dog and a fierce tiger. It was far inferior. It was not only combat effectiveness, but also a problem of military appearance. The Hedong soldiers and horses were strictly enforced and killed, which made Hu Zhen think of the legendary soldiers of the Warring States Qin State. They were strict in discipline and acted consistently. Wherever they passed, they were invincible.

Hu Zhen had no confidence in fighting these soldiers again.

When Hu Zhen mentioned Shan County and the Hedong soldiers in Mianchi, Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, saying: "Hedong Xu has been prepared for the defense. He built a pass in Taolin and closed Huayin, which is not known. Now that we are acting, even if the Hedong army finds it, it will be difficult to break this pass in the short term. If we want to turn the road and go up the Yellow River, it will take at least three days. Therefore, we must advance to Chang'an within three days, otherwise the situation will be critical."

"It's easy to break through Chang'an in three days." Hu Zhen suddenly felt relieved when he heard that Jia Xu had built a pass in Taolin, blocking the Hedong soldiers from advancing westward. He laughed: "Wenhe, building a pass is a wonderful plan."

Taolin Pass is located in the east of Huayin County, with a high terrain. A pass blocked the road from Guanzhong to Guandong. To the east of Huayin County, including Shan County, Mianchi, Xin'an, Hangu Pass and Luoyang in Hongnong County, are all separated from Guanzhong by a pass.

Jia Xu didn't know that in history, many years later, someone made the same choice as him. This person was Cao Cao, who built Tongguan in Taolin.

Of course, Tongguan is a pass city with a large project, but Jia Xu only built one pass at this time, which was quite easy and simple, because Jia Xu did not seek long-term, but only wanted to block the Hedong army in Shan County and Mianchi for a while.

But this has to be called a strange plan. When building the pass, Jia Xu used soldiers to send soldiers to block the front and back sections, and it could be built in more than ten days. It can be said that he was hiding the world and Ji Ping and Chang'an were completely unaware of it.

Hu Zhen thought of the Hedong Army being blocked, and the biggest worry and shadow in his heart dissipated. He was very happy for a moment, and then he thought of something again. His eyes flashed and he asked Jia Xu: "It is not easy to explore the Qinling Road. It must be two or three months. Could it be that Wenhe had expected the Dong Guild to be?"

Jia Xu's eyes drooped slightly and said lightly: "Before you are concerned about victory, you are concerned about defeat first. The Hedong Army is across the river, like a tiger peeking at it. Xu has to consider the worst plan and leave a way out first."

Hu Zhen was relieved, so he naturally didn't know that Jia Xu knew much more than him, and many of the early preparations also noticed something.

Ji Ping and his party were assassinated on the river surface, and then chased into Mangshan, right on the bank of Huayin, with great momentum. With Jia Xu's prudence, he naturally would not ignore it afterwards. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Zhang Ji. When he found Zhang Xiu, he naturally noticed more things.

Although many things were just speculations and were not sure at first, after the incident, Jia Xu's wisdom naturally made a prediction, including who was Dong Zhuo's death, who was secretly promoting the fire in Chang'an, which made Wang Yun feel anxious, etc.

Just thinking about his youngest son Jia Ji, Jia Xu often pondered. Jia Xu was cautious and had no ambitions. In troubled times, he only wanted to have a small stability in his own family.

At this time, Hu Zhen asked again: "Wenhe, I wonder who is the one who is stationed in Fenglingdu, Hebei County?"

Fenglingdu, Hebei County, is opposite to Huayin County across the river. It is now also the focus of Jia Xu's flank defense. The back road is worry-free, so Hu Zhen has to ask how he flanks.

Jia Xu shook his head: "The Fenglingdu garrison is called 'Qianniu', about 3,000, but the generals in command have never had a banner and don't know its name. Moreover, the 'Qianniu' army has never heard of this army in the Hedong army before, and Xu has heard of it for the first time."
