    Listening to Jia Xu's inquiry, Hu Zhen's eyes turned cold: "The wounded soldiers stayed in Luoyang and pretended to be a camp to deceive the world. Li Jue and Guo Si led 20,000 cavalry to bypass Nanyang and attack Wuguan. After General Niu was killed, a certain person gathered  There are 40,000 to 50,000 infantrymen, but a lot of them have been lost in the mountains in the past two days. But now with the addition of soldiers and horses, we only need to go west to conquer Chang'an in one fell swoop and avenge Dong Gong! " Speaking of this,  Hu Zhen paused, then couldn't help but said: "Dong Gong was killed, if it weren't for Wen He's clever plan, we would have given up. Wen He should be the first to break Chang'an!" "This life-saving plan is of no use.  Jia Xu's voice was still calm: "If Wang Yun hadn't been in power and wanted to kill all the people in Liangzhou, we would have gone back to our hometown to live in seclusion. Why would we do this?" Hu Zhen said bitterly: "Wang Yun is narrow-minded, and Cai Zhonglang can't bear it."  Dong Gong was so important that he was killed, not to mention us. As Wen He said, if we abandon our troops and return to our hometown, I am afraid that Wang Yun will soon order a pavilion chief to kill us. " Jia Xu's eyes moved slightly.  He said: "This time, I will lead my troops to the west to attack Chang'an and avenge Dong Gong. If we can succeed, our safety will be guaranteed. We should serve the country and conquer the world. If it fails, we will return to Liangzhou, and we will have a safe retreat."  ¡± This is how things are in the world. As the highest authority, a careless attitude and behavior will often make the people below panic.  Wang Yun insisted on killing Cai Yong, which frightened the people of Liangzhou. Even a wise and steady person like Jia Xu was extremely afraid of Wang Yun. With life and death at stake, he had no choice but to take risks. ???????? Or Jia Xu¡¯s move may not be wrong. Fighting in the court is extremely dangerous. If Jia Xu and others are really defeated, under the instigation of the Yuan family¡¯s forces, Wang Yun may not be able to drive all Dong Zhuo¡¯s generals to death.  After sunset.  A large number of torches were lit in the southeast of Huayin County, where nearly 10,000 Qiang and Hu soldiers had gathered.  After these Qiang and Hu soldiers had dinner, they rested in the camp.  And on the Qinling Trail.  Qiang and Hu soldiers were still pouring out in a steady stream. In the path, torches were like a long dragon, winding deep into the Qinling Mountains.  In the big tent, Hu Zhen was still having secret discussions with Jia Xu.  "Wenhe." After Hu Zhen had eaten, he looked energetic under the firelight: "It is estimated that all the soldiers and horses in the mountain will not be able to leave the mountain until dawn. I can wait until noon tomorrow to send out the troops, okay?" Jia Xu shook his head.  Said: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. Now there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the mountain. It should be more than 20,000 at Zishi. These 20,000 soldiers and horses plus Huayin's soldiers and horses will total 30,000. After eating and resting for two hours, Yinshi  Order your troops and move out at the end of the night. Attack Song Yi first and collect his troops. There should be 50,000 troops. Don't hesitate. As for the remaining soldiers in the mountains, they can just eat and rest." Hu Zhenyan.  Da Liang: "Wen He's plan is wonderful. Attack Song Yi at the right time, and put up Confucian security guards to defend it. It will be defeated in one fell swoop!" Jia Xu said: "Song Yi's subordinates are mostly Dong Gong's old troops, and the general will raise a banner. Order the soldiers to shout  , it can mess up the morale of the army and get twice the result with half the effort." " Hu Zhen nodded repeatedly, but suddenly thought of something, his face was a little ugly, and said: "Wenhe, now Hedong soldiers and horses occupy Shaanxi County and Mianchi, if Hedong soldiers and horses take the opportunity to come from behind.  "What should we do if we attack?" Thinking of the Hedong soldiers and horses he encountered in Mianchi a few days ago still makes Hu Zhen shudder. The Qiang and Hu soldiers under his command are also elite, but compared with the Hedong soldiers and horses, they are like vicious dogs compared with tigers.  The difference is too far, not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also in terms of military appearance. The soldiers and horses in Hedong were strictly organized and killed. Hu Zhen couldn't help but think of the legendary soldiers of the Warring States and Qin Dynasties. They were very disciplined and acted like one. Everywhere they went,  Indestructible.  Facing these soldiers again, Hu Zhen did not have any confidence.  Hearing Hu Zhen mention the Shaanxian and Mianchi Hedong troops, Jia Xu's face remained unchanged and said: "Hedong side Xu has taken precautions. He built a pass at Taolin fortress and sealed off Huayin so that no one would know. Now we will take action.  Even if the Hedong Army realizes that it will be difficult to break through this pass in the short term, it will take at least three days to go up the Yellow River. Therefore, we must advance into Chang'an within three days, otherwise the situation will be critical. " "Three days.  It's easy to conquer Chang'an." When Hu Zhen heard that Jia Xu actually built a pass at Taolin, blocking the troops from Hedong from advancing westward, he felt relieved and laughed: "Wenhe, building a pass is really a good idea.  It¡¯s a clever idea.¡± Taolinsai is located in the east of Huayin County. The terrain is quite high. A pass blocks the road from Guanzhong to Guandong. To the east of Huayin County, it includes Shaanxian, Mianchi, Xin¡¯an, and Hongnong County.  Hangu Pass and Luoyang are both separated from Guanzhong by a pass.  Jia Xu didn¡¯t know that in history, many years later, there was someone who made the same choice as him. This person was Cao Cao, who built Tongguan at Taolin Fortress.  Of course, Tongguan is a pass city and the project is quite large, but Jia Xu only built a pass at this time, which was quite easy and crude, because Jia Xu did not seek long-term goals, but only wanted to temporarily block the Hedong from Shaanxian County and Mianchi.  The army can do it.  But this has to be called a strange plan. When building the pass, JiaUsing sergeants to block the front and rear sections, it can be built in more than ten days. It can be said that Ji Ping and Chang'an are completely unaware of it.  Hu Zhen thought of the interception of the Hedong Army, and the biggest worry and shadow in his heart disappeared. He was very happy for a moment, and then thought of something again. His eyes flashed, and he asked Jia Xu: "The Qinling Trail is not easy to explore. It takes two or three months. Could it be Wen  He Zao had expected Dong Guild?" Jia Xu lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly: "Don't worry about victory, think about defeat first. The Hedong Army is across the river, watching like tigers, so Xu has to plan for the worst and leave a way out first.  " Hu Zhen was relieved. Of course he didn't know. Jia Xu knew much more than he did. Many of the early preparations were also aware of something.  Ji Ping and his party were assassinated on the river, and then chased into Mang Mountain, just on the bank of Huayin. The momentum was not small. With Jia Xu's caution, it was natural that he would not fail to investigate afterwards. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Zhang Ji and found Zhang Xiu.  Naturally, I also noticed more things.  Although many things were just guesses at the beginning and could not be determined, after the incident, with Jia Xu's wisdom, he could naturally guess at least seventy-eight, including who Dong Zhuo died at the hands of, and who in Chang'an was secretly adding fuel to the flames, which made Wang Yun anxious.  etc.  Just thinking about his youngest son Jia Ji, Jia Xu often hesitated.  Jia Xu has a cautious character and has no great ambitions. In troubled times, he just wants the stability of his family.  At this time, Hu Zhen asked again: "Wenhe, I wonder who is stationed at Fenglingdu in Hebei County from Hedong?" Fenglingdu in Hebei County is across the river from Huayin County and is now the focus of Jia Xu's flank defense.  With no worries about his future, Hu Zhen had to ask the flanker how he was doing.  Jia Xu shook his head: "The flag of the Fenglingdu garrison is 'Qian Niu', and there are about three thousand of them. However, the commander of the army has never hung a flag, so I don't know its name, and the 'Qian Niu' army has never been heard of in the Hedong Army before.  This is the first time Xu has heard of this army."
