Li Yan was a little embarrassed. He just grabbed Dong Zunhui a few days ago, but unexpectedly he received an order to transfer Dong Zunhui from Fengxiang Mansion. How could he speak?!

Li Yancong understood very well that as Dong Zunhui made frequent military achievements, some of the Central Imperial Army were jealous, envious and hated. Especially as the emperor's confidant, he was well-informed. According to the news he just received: Zhao Hongyin and Zhao Kuangyin had already written a letter of loyalty and swear to be loyal to the emperor. The emperor's uncle Li Hongyi was quietly bribing the superiors and subordinates of the guardian army with Zhao Hongyin. So although the request for the transfer was a bit rude, Li Hongyi still agreed happily. Anyway, Dong Zunhui was just a small battalion commander, so what can I cherish?!

Li Yan couldn't help feeling a little guilty. The soldiers were born and died on the front line, but these ghosts and monsters jumped out to make trouble. It was really angering! However, it was actually worth the exchange to sacrifice a Dong Zunhui to achieve the emperor's rule!

So despite Li Yancong's guilt, he still said to Dong Zunhui: "Daoan, I have no shame to come to see you, let alone announce the order to transfer you. But this comes from the order of the emperor. Even if we are willing to oppose it, we have to follow. In this way, I will replenish all the troops and horses for you. If you take a battalion of cavalry to Hezhong Mansion, you can have more confidence in making achievements!"

Dong Zunhui quickly expressed his gratitude and said reluctantly: "Although I have been under the command of the adult for a short time, I can also feel the adult's love and consideration for his subordinates. Since I received the order, I will resolutely implement it and will never embarrass our guards. I will not say goodbye to Brother Jie Hui, so as not to make people laugh at me, and I hope the adult will help me pass this small package and apologize to him."

Li Yan nodded and took the small package from Dong Zunhui. It was a little heavy, as if it was gold, silver and other things.

Then Dong Zunhui said, "This is the savings of the last general. I originally discussed with Brother Jie to fight bravely together. Whoever sacrifices will be the other one to take care of his parents. Now I am going to Hezhong Prefecture to fight alone. Brother Jie has your care and will definitely be able to make achievements and return to Kaifeng alive. Leave these savings to him and pass them to my parents in the future."

Li Yan's eyes were a little wet, and he was a little moved. He gently patted Dong Zunhui's shoulder and said to him: "Daoan, you must take care of it! Keep this package yourself, and I believe you can hand it over to your mother in person! By the way, Wang Xiufeng (Wang Jun) and I have been old friends for many years. I will write a letter for you to take care of you more."

Dong Zunhui bowed deeply and said earnestly: "Thank you sir!" Wang Jun is the military chief of the Hezhong Camp, and he is the second-in-command who can fight against the Bai Wenke branch of the capital. With this letter of introduction, I believe that he will definitely gain a foothold in the Hezhong Camp.

Soon, Dong Zunhui led his troops to leave Fengxiang Mansion's military camp and headed to Hezhong Mansion. However, neither Zhao Hongyin nor Zhao Kuangyin would have expected that Dong Zunhui would escape a disaster after leaving Fengxiang Mansion this time.

On April 27, An Siqian, Houshu, sent Meizhou Governor Shen Gui, to lead 3,000 people to Mibi in the southwest of Baoji, and set up ambush in the bamboo forest.

On the same day, Zhao Hui ordered Li Yancong and Jie Hui to lead two thousand soldiers to Baoji to delay the pace of Shu army heading north.

In the early morning of April 29, An Siqian ordered the horse envoy Gao Yanqi to lead 500 soldiers to the camp of the Han army in Baoji. Li Yancong saw that there were few soldiers in Shu, and immediately went out to attack. Gao Yanqi was defeated and retreated. Li Yancong and Jie Hui left behind thousands of people to guard Baoji, leading less than a thousand soldiers to pursue him, and soon arrived at Mobi and fell into the ambush of Shen Gui of the Shu army!

In this service, Li Yancong was seriously injured, Jie Hui was injured seven times. Under the desperate protection of his personal soldiers, the rest of his troops were destroyed! The seriously injured Li Yancong could no longer engage in military career and was appointed as the governor of Puzhou. After two years of lingering in bed, he died in office.

Seeing this, Zhao Hui immediately mobilized the prefectures and counties to reinforce Baoji, and appointed Yao Yuanfu as the envoy of Baoji's treasury. Seeing that the Later Han army continued to reinforce Baoji, An Siqian did not dare to continue attacking, and food, supplies and other materials needed to cross the Sanguan and other mountains to transport them. The distance was long and the reserves were insufficient, so he ordered the retreat. On May 14, An Siqian retreated to Fengzhou, and on May 17, An Siqian retreated to Xingyuan.

Turn his attention to Dong Zunhui. On April 29, Dong Zunhui arrived in Ganzhou, where he rested for a while, reorganized the troops and elected them again, and declared that he would come and go freely, allowing the soldiers to choose for themselves.

More than 50 of the more than 200 soldiers who were newly added to the army chose to leave, and the remaining soldiers stayed with the persuasion of the veterans. The veterans firmly supported Dong Zunhui's leadership. Under Dong Zunhui's leadership, they made many military achievements and moved from victory to victory. Dong Zunhui was also stingy with rewards and never deducted military pay, which was grateful and trust from everyone. Dong Zunhui then recruited heroes locally and quickly made up for the difference in the team.

On the second day of May, the troops arrived in Xianyang and showed Zhao Hui's order to replenish the weapons and supplies from the Xianyang arsenal. At the post station here, Dong Zunhui learned about Li Yancong's defeat. He was very surprised and hurriedly asked someone to ask for details. Only then did he learn about the serious injury of Li Yancong, Jie Hui and others.

After being silent for a long time, Dong Zunhui showed a wry smile: If he was still in the army, he would definitely be in trouble this time. Even Jie Hui, who is skilled in martial arts, was seriously injured. He doesn't know how much he will be injured, a guy who often loves to be distracted. He was a little grateful to the guy who transferred him from Fengxiang Mansion. It seems that things are really impermanent.

A day later, Dong Zunhui finally found a messenger to Fengxiang Mansion in the inn. He asked this person to express his greetings to Li Yancong and Jie Hui and offered condolences. Later, Dong Zunhui led his troops to continue north and soon arrived at Yaozhou, the former garrison of Baoyi Army. However, Baoyi Army had already set out and did not station in Yaozhou as Dong Zunhui expected.

After inquiring, Dong Zunhui learned that after Dong Zunhui captured the west gate of Fengxiang Mansion some time ago, Guo Congyi and Wang Jun (Bai Wenke) who had been stagnant were stimulated. They were unwilling to fall behind and quickly launched an offensive against Hezhong.

Although Bai Wenke was old and weak, he was experienced. Wang Jun was young and strong and had strong coordination skills. The two worked together to make progress first. The troops quickly captured Xiguan City in Hezhong Prefecture and set up camps on the west bank of the Yellow River. However, because Guo Congyi did not make any breakthrough progress, Bai Wenke and others were afraid of being attacked by the enemy on the flanks and did not dare to continue attacking.

After Dong Zunhui found out clearly, he immediately led his troops to march towards Xiguan City, because he vaguely remembered that there seemed to have a battle there that Guo Wei praised, and hoped that he would still have time to join the war.
