Xianyang, the prefect's mansion.

"Bang!"

Yan Xing gasped heavily and smashed a wine cup in his hand heavily. He raised his hand and pointed to Jiang Xu in the hall, and roared angrily: "You! Send someone to check for me! Check for me quickly! See if Zhao Yun from Yuzhong was rescued by Ma Teng!"

"promise!"

Jiang Xu hurriedly got up and was about to walk out of the hall. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a scout hurriedly running into the hall, with sweat on his face, bowing to Yan Xing, and saying, "Ship Yan, something big is wrong, something happened in Yuzhong!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone in the room was shocked! They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Yuan Shang was not bluffing, and there was indeed something wrong behind Liangzhou!

Yan Xing suppressed the horror in his heart, stared at the scout angrily, and said, "What's wrong with Yuzhong?"

The scout hurriedly reported: "Ma Teng, Wen Hui, Zhang Ji, Jia Kui and others, joined forces with the Qiang tribes Li, Ji and Po, to attack Yuzhong. Yuzhong was conquered, Zhao Yun was rescued, and our formation was lost!"

Yan Xing stared at the scout blankly and couldn't speak for a long time.

When he was young, he saw him sitting on the handsome man's collapse and said in a daze: "Ma Teng has been hiding in Liangzhou for so long. Who provided the food and grass? The Qiang people's tax and grain are not enough, how can they be provided to him... The Yuzhong formation is gone, what about the damn Yu Xin! Where did Yu Xin die?"

The scout sniffled and spitted, and Jie Jiebaba said, "It was not the Qiang people who provided Ma Teng's grain and fodder. I heard that it was Di King Agui and Yang Qianwan... And General Yu, who was already dead, was killed by Zhao Yun..."

"waste!"

Yan Xing stood up and kicked the handsome boy in front of him away, shouting: "It's okay to die! Useless waste! Death is even more frivolous and worry-free... The Di tribe actually secretly opposed me. When I return to Liangzhou, they will be the first to deal with!"

After a few breaths, Yan Xing said, "Ma Teng captured Yuzhong. Then where did his troops go? Want to swallow all Jincheng County on the spot?"

"No, their troops have left the Jincheng territory, but I don't know what they intend..."

Yan Xing stood up, pointed to the scout heavily, and said angrily: "Try again, go find out the movements of Zhao Yun and Ma Teng, and submit the news to me in the shortest time!"

"promise!"

"No need to explore."

Meng Jian slowly stood up and said, "As I expected, Zhao Yun must have gone to Tianshui. Tianshui County has a high city and deep trough, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If Zhao Yun can resist defending here, he can advance to Xiliang counties. If he retreats, he can keep in Tianshui, attack or defend, and it is extremely difficult to remove!"

Yan Xing lowered his head when he heard this, and said nothing. He thought carefully.

Not far away, Song Jian sat in the guest head seat and looked at Yan Xing. Seeing that he stopped talking, he said helplessly: "Brother Yan. Tell me, you are too careless to do things. How big is Zhao Yun? A tiger! Don't send a powerful chant to watch him, if you are not careful, don't you throw this song! Now, what is Yuan Shang in front and Zhao Yun in front and the tiger in the back. How about this battle still swollen?"

Yan Xing thought for a while and said, "Xiliang is our rear, so we must save you. King Song. At this moment, you and I should work together to fight the enemy together, and do not have selfish intentions... This way! I will lead our troops back to Zhao Yun, and I will trouble the king to deal with Yuan Shang here. There are also Qiang soldiers led by Xiping Qu, Ding Linghu, and neighbor Dai. There are about 70,000 people in total. I will let them be commanded by Meng Jian and leave a support for the king!"

Meng Jian was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I will lead 70,000 Qiang tribes to stay, and then you will have only more than 60,000 people under your command. If Zhao Yun defended the city, how could he fight?"

Song Jian also nodded and said, "Just yes, Ji yes! Zhao Yun is so capable and Ma Teng is so prestige. If they gain a foothold in Liangzhou, they will be able to generate tens of thousands of elite soldiers in a blink of an eye!"

Yan Xing took a deep breath and said, "At this point, I have another way... King Cheriji of the Western Qiang established a country in the western desert outside Dunhuang. He traversed all the states of the Western Regions, with as many as 150,000 troops under his command. He was once under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, but he fled because of his independence. Today I should promise to cede the land and ask him to send troops to help me encircle and suppress Zhao Yun together!"

Meng Jian was shocked when he heard this and said, "Cheliji is a wolf's ambition. He was not obeying the minister's rituals back then. He was expelled by the Qiang Dao Order, and joined forces with the governor of Liangzhou and other Qiang tribes to expel him. He was summoned back today. Wouldn't he lead the wolf into the house?"

Yan Xing shook his head and said, "At this point, I can no longer control whoever is a tiger or a wolf? The most urgent thing is to destroy Zhao Yun and pacify the rear. I will go to fight in person! I will leave it to you and King Song, with 100,000 armors under the command of King Song, plus 70,000 Qiang soldiers. Even if Yuan Shang cannot be destroyed, it will be enough to wait for me to come back!"

"But……"

"Stop talking, this matter has been decided, just do it!"

“…………”

After the plan was decided, Yan Xing left the Qiang people and Meng Jian here to assist Song Jian in dealing with Yuan Shang, then packed up his troops and rushed straight to Liangzhou.

After Yan Xing's troops returned to Liangzhou, Yuan Shang's spies immediately learned the news and brought the news back to Chang'an.

After Yuan Shang heard this, he showed a deep smile on his face.

This is exactly what he wanted. Yan Xing retreated and the enemy divided the troops! Although Song Jian had many troops, he was the supreme general. Only Meng Jian, who had met the last time, might be more stubborn, but without Yan Xing, it must be easier to deal with.

As for why Meng Jian appeared here, Yuan Shang probably had a conclusion in his mind...

I'm afraid this matter is unrelated to Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others. The two bitches will settle the accounts with them sooner or later.

After this, Yuan Shang did not hesitate anymore and immediately summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with the anti-King Songjian.

***************************

Tianshui, Gongcao Mansion.

"The general Jiang Jie has seen the Grand Governor! The general surrenders to the enemy and cannot sacrifice his life for his pride. He deserves to die. Please punish the Grand Governor!"

"Jiang Gongcao doesn't have to do this, get up!" Zhao Yun stepped forward and helped Jiang Yu up. When he attacked Tianshui, Zhao Yun pretended to be Yu Xin's troops. Jiang Yu cooperated inside and outside and opened the city, so that he could kill the rebel generals and seize the city in one fell swoop. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Zhao Yun to seize the city in a short time.

Zhao Yun pulled Jiang Juan down and comforted him, "Jiang Gongcao's loyalty to his lord is to be seen by the sun and the moon. When Yan Xing rebelled, my governor was captured. Jiang Gongcao was wronged and asked for everything and lies dormant. Now he has cleared the dark clouds and seen the sun and the moon, and offered Tianshui. Isn't this a great contribution? This governor not only does not blame you, but also has to entrust you with important tasks. When Yan Ren is destroyed in the future, I will express my congratulations to the lord to ask you to be the prefect of Tianshui."

Jiang Jie was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, the Grand Commander, I dare not do my best!"

Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "Jiang Gongcao, as water is under my control today, I want to dominate Liangzhou now. What should I do next? Jiang Gongcao is a local, please give me some advice."

Jiang Jie thought for a while and advised: "The most urgent task is not to think about where to attack. Instead, we should gather our troops, prepare our weapons, roll wood, and support the arrows. We should defend the city. Because with Yan Xing's character, if he knew that there was chaos in the rear of Liangzhou, he would definitely send troops back to seize it. The most urgent task is to use the benefits of Tianshui to stop his attack and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack, so as to make the best strategy!"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "This statement makes sense. According to what Jiang Gongcao said, you are a local. You can handle many of these things on your behalf."

Jiang Er nodded after hearing this and said, "As long as the Grand Governor agrees, how can the last general not do his best?"

After discussing, Jiang Jie insisted on keeping Zhao Yun for dinner in Gongcao Mansion. Zhao Yun refused and said that he would go back to the military camp to prepare and gather the morale of the army in the city. He would not engage in this matter in extraordinary times. After Guanzhong stabilized in the future, he would have a personal relationship.

Jiang Jie was not convenient to persuade him, so he immediately sent Zhao Yun out of his mansion.

Today, Zhao Yun seemed to have returned to his usual style. He was wearing silver-white armor, wearing a Xichuan Shu brocade robe, and a long sword on his waist. He was full of heroic posture. Although his face was still haggard and withered, he had already vaguely restored his appearance before he was placed under house arrest.

When he walked out of Gongcao Mansion, Zhao Yun turned over and saw a little boy sitting on the stone steps next to Jiang Jie Gongcao Mansion. He was about seven or eight years old. He was carrying a small cloth bag on his back, wearing a small cloth shirt, staring at him with a pair of watery big eyes, staring at himself clearly. The little boy's face was extremely cute. Although he was not old, his high nose, white face, and slender, neither big nor small eyes had a handsome outline.

“Huh?”

The child was stunned when he saw the long sword around Zhao Yun's waist. Then he got up from the steps, jumped to Zhao Yun's horse, stared at his sword carefully for a while, raised his head, and said timidly: "Is your sword a famous sword from the north "Yun Gan"?"

The sword on Zhao Yun's waist was given to Ma Teng by Di King Yang Qianwan in Dunhuang. After rescuing Zhao Yun, Ma Teng gave it to his son-in-law Zhao Yun. As for the origin, Zhao Yun really didn't know much.

After hearing the child's question, Zhao Yun was stunned and said, "What do you think is this sword...? Is it a background?"

The little boy blinked and looked at Zhao Yun in surprise: "Don't you know him?"

Zhao Yun shook his head for no reason. Seeing this, the little boy quickly changed his words, showed an innocent smile, and said, "Actually nothing... Uncle, I seem to have never seen you near here. Are you an alien general?"

Seeing that the child looked like a carved pink bracelet, Zhao Yun didn't bother him, and smiled and said, "Yes, uncle is a general from another place. Not long after he arrived in the city, whose child are you? What are you doing here?"

"Me?" The child pointed his nose, thought for a moment, and grinned, "That... I am a book seller... a book boy!"

"The book seller... the book boy?" Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this and raised his eyebrows: "There is such a business in the world?"

The little boy sighed, like a little adult: "There is no way! The world is not peaceful, and you have to do anything to have enough food... Uncle, don't look at me as young as a young man, but this book is authentic and out of print, and it's not cheap. It's all made of 'Four-foot Dan'. Do you want to buy two books and collect them?"

Zhao Yun found it interesting and immediately said, "What goods do you have in your hands? Show me."

But seeing the child clumsily untied the small cloth bag on his back, the silly head took out a large stack of 'Four-foot Dan' from it, took out one of them, shook it at Zhao Yun, and whispered: "Uncle, this book is a peerless secret book that is rare. It is said to be the same as Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Yaoshu" in the past! It is worth ten thousand gold and the content is shocking! It was not sold at first... But I think you are a talented general who is rare. If you have great development in the future, I will bleed today. It is a bit cheaper. How do you think you use this book to exchange for your sword?"
