Guo Si will not mention it for now.

Many years ago, he was in charge of Lieliuxiong City, and had 10,000 elite soldiers. Behind him was Ma Teng's crazy resources. Now it can be said that he is strong and a tough bone to crack.

Yang Qiu, the governor of Anding County, was not an ordinary person. In terms of status, this person was an old thief like Song Jian and Cheng Yi, who had been in power for many years.

In history, Yang Qiu also followed Ma Chao, and Han Sui betrayed the court and fought with Cao Cao in the Wei River. Moreover, if Zhang Xiu remembered correctly, after the destruction of the heroes, Yang Qiu surrendered to Cao Cao in Anding County, and finally became a general and a marquis, and was able to die well.

It also shines and heats, leading troops to attack bandits and bandits, played a key role in stabilizing Guanzhong.

Among these Liangzhou thieves, Yang Qiu is a very capable person.

As for Anding County, there are only six county towns, and the population is small, only about 100,000 people. The terrain belongs to the mountainous areas with a scattered height.

Yang Qiu has seven or eight thousand troops, and has been in Anding County for many years and is difficult to deal with.

In short, Guo Si and Yang Qiu are both difficult to deal with.

Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu was also a headache. If Dong Zhuo gave him 100,000 elite troops to fight the west, it would be much easier.

Zhang Xiu was in pain in his forehead, and Ju Su said decisively: "Before Yang Qiu."

"Why?" Zhang Xiu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a serious look.

"Guo Si and Gong Ming had a feud to kill his uncle, and Guo Si would definitely fight to the death. Yang Qiu did not. Gong Ming could lead elite troops to Jieting to set up camps and block Ma Teng's reinforcements. Let a side general attack An Ding. As long as the lord can defend Jieting and confront Ma Teng. The side general can win big or small victory, Yang Qiu can surrender without fighting."

Ju Su's face was full of red light, and his spirited cheered his sleeves and bowed.

Zhang Xiu showed a sudden look. Zhang Ji was a cheap uncle. It was too long before he forgot about this.

Zhang Ji was killed. Li Jue had been killed, but Guo Si was still holding on.

Then, Zhang Xiu thought for a moment. He currently has over 30,000 troops under his command, of which 5,000 remained in Luoyang and handed over to Taishi Ci, and only 25,000 elite soldiers brought Xiaoguan.

He led 20,000 elite soldiers to Jieting to confront Ma Teng, and there were only 5,000 elite soldiers left. Zhang Xiu raised his head and glanced among the generals for a while, and finally fell on Xu Huang and Xu Shu.

"Xu Huang, Xu Shu." Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice.

The second general immediately stood up excitedly and bent down and said, "The last one is here."

"You are the general of Xu Huang, Xu Shu as the deputy general, Ju Su and Min Chun as the army. You four lead five thousand elite troops to attack Yang Qiu, the governor of Anding County."

Zhang Xiu ordered in a deep voice.

"No." The four of them were all excited, and after saying a promise, they went down and prepared together.

"General Dong continues to guard Xiaoguan, and the rest of the people follow me to Jieting." Zhang Xiu immediately issued another order.

"No." Everyone also agreed. Later, the Guan Ling Mansion was taken over by Zhang Xiu, and Dong Xun and the generals went outside to station.

Zhang Xiu took out a map and laid it on the table and took a closer look. Liangzhou was roughly divided into the Longyou counties and Hexi counties. Now Ma Teng occupied Longyou, and Han then occupied Hexi.

However, Anding County seems to be an orphan and has nothing to do with both sides. It is located in the eastern part of Liangzhou and is adjacent to Beidi County.

The geographical location is easy to defend but difficult to attack, while the land is extremely barren.

"Liangzhou, Liangzhou. I will sooner or later take this vast land under my command." Zhang Xiu spread his right hand and placed it heavily on the map, revealing his firmness.

He is not Dong Zhuo, he is just a thief who defends the land. He wants to explore.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, Xu Huang and Xu Shu led 5,000 elite soldiers to detour eastward, while Zhang Xiu led 20,000 elite soldiers to the west to Jieting.

Liangzhou vibrates.

Zhang Xiu was also from Liangzhou. When he was a young general, he ran rampant in Liangzhou. Later, he fought with Ma Teng and Han Sui repeatedly, including the later wars led by Pang De, Zhao Yun and others.

After fighting for so many years, although Ma Teng and Han Sui were strong and strong, they did not hurt their muscles, but they never won.

Ma Teng and Han Sui's spies were also spread throughout the Sanfu, and Zhang Xiu stayed in Chang'an and Huaili City for two days. The news had already reached Liangzhou.

Ma Teng's nest, Jicheng.

Since Ma Teng and Han Sui officially divided the sphere of influence, Ma Teng has always regarded Ji City as his nest. Therefore, the population, supplies, weapons, and food in Ji City are piled up like mountains, and the city has been repaired by him and is tall and strong, making it simply a fortress that cannot be conquered.

In the city, in the study of Ma Teng's mansion, Ma Teng, who received the news, immediately summoned his chief Yang Fu.

Ma Teng sat in the main seat in black clothes, while Yang Fu sat opposite Ma Teng in white robe.

Ma Teng showed doubt and said, "I have no intention of gathering troops at all. Why are there such rumors in Fufeng County?"

"And we really can't conquer Lueyang, but I don't plan to attack Xiaoguan. Even if we conquer Xiaoguan, there are tens of thousands of troops in Lueyang. How could I lead my troops into Fufeng with peace of mind? Aren't I afraid of being attacked by Pang De and Zhao Yun from Lueyang sneak attacked Jicheng?"

Ma Teng shook his head, showing a look of incomprehension.

Yang Fu also shook his head slightly, very puzzled. They were humans or not gods, and they could not have expected that this was a rumor that Zhang Xiu himself spread, and the purpose was just to leave Luoyang and give Lu Bu an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Don't worry about this for now. Zhang Xiu is a general, so he should not be brave. Although there are not many soldiers this time, only 25,000 people. There are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers on the side of Lueyang. We need to beware of them attacking each other from left to right." Yang Fu said immediately.

Ma Teng nodded heavily. Zhao Yun, Pang De, Hu Cheer, Xi Zhicai and others from Leiyan County had also experienced it. They were all wise and brave.

It cannot be underestimated.

"The lord should be in charge of Jicheng and governors. You can ask the eldest son and I to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to set up camp in Jieting. The lord can also send people to Jincheng and ask Han Sui for 30,000 reinforcements. A total of 60,000 infantry soldiers guard Jieting, only guarding and not fighting. Jieting must be rushed. As long as you guard Jieting, Zhang Xiu will not be able to advance from Xiaoguan to Liangzhou." Yang Fu thought for a while and said immediately.

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, not because of Yang Fu's plan, but because of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is already seventeen this year, and he is in full swing and brave and good at fighting.

"Do you have any doubts?" Yang Fu was very good at observing his expression and asked with his hands.

"I'm afraid that Chao'er will be reckless, so I will challenge Zhang Xiu without authorization. Although Chao'er is brave and good at fighting and has a promising future, she is only seventeen years old now. She is definitely not a match for Zhang Xiu." Ma Teng looked embarrassed.

Yang Fu smiled when he heard this and bowed, "Don't worry, lord. Although the eldest son is brave, he is not reckless and listens very much to me, I will restrain him."

Speaking of this, Yang Fu said again: "The eldest son is brave and good at fighting. Since Zhang Xiu ran into Liangzhou, he has killed many of our powerful generals. Having the eldest son in charge in the army can stabilize the morale of the army. Please do not hesitate."

"Okay." After thinking about it for a while, Ma Teng had to agree. Immediately, Ma Teng asked Yang Fu to go down and prepare to send troops, but he went to the inner house to meet Ma Chao.

In the corridor, Ma Chao was taking his younger brothers to dance guns and sticks.

Among them, Ma Chao is the most powerful, with his second son Ma Xiu and his third son Ma Tie, and his follower Ma Dai, is even more powerful than his second and third sons.

Although Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting and has extraordinary force, he looks like a beautiful woman. When Ma Teng saw this son, he couldn't help but like him.

There is a difficult reason to talk about.

A native of Wuwei, Liangzhou. Now the Grand Marshal of the imperial court, General of the Cavalry, and the Hou of Luyang, Zhang Xiu, was a handsome and brave general.

Ma Teng saw Zhang Xiu's shadow in his son and liked him so much.

"If my son can have Zhang Xiu's bravery and wisdom, why should my Ma family worry about whether the big thing will be accomplished?" Ma Teng couldn't help but say in his heart.

"Uncle." Ma Dai noticed Ma Teng first, and quickly put down the big gun in his hand and saluted. The three brothers Ma Chao and his three brothers also put away their big guns and saluted Ma Teng, saying "Father."

"Yes." Although Ma Teng liked Ma Chao, he nodded seriously.

Immediately, he asked about Ma Chao's martial arts practice and study. Ma Chao was a thousand miles a day in martial arts, but studying was ordinary.

On the contrary, Ma Dai, the descendant, is a person with a clear and polite civil and military understanding.

Ma Teng deliberately scolded Ma Chao with a stern face, and then praised Ma Dai. Ma Dai was very happy, while Ma Chao looked thick-skinned and thick, it didn't matter.

Anyway, he doesn't like reading.

After some words, Ma Teng asked Ma Xiu and Ma Tie to go down, Ma Chao and Ma Dai came to the corridor. He sat on the threshold and looked up to say to the two of them, "Seeking the horses and reporting. Zhang Xiu led 20,000 elite soldiers to head towards Xiao Guan. The Chief Secretary Yang Fu designed, let Dalang lead 30,000 troops to Jieting to confront Zhang Xiu. Dalang. I said in front, you can't rush forward to fight with Zhang Xiu. Everything needs to obey Yang Changshi's instructions."

Although Ma Chao was brave, he was not stupid. Hearing this, he raised his chest and said to Ma Teng with a smile: "Don't worry, Father. I'm not stupid. I am a young tiger, and Zhang Xiu is an old thief. How could I be the opponent of the old thief? In a few years, I will have the confidence to fight with Zhang Xiu."

"Yeah, yeah." Ma Dai pointed his head wildly on the side, with an expression of "Whatever your brother says is what you want."

Ma Teng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and gave Ma Chao a smile on his face rarely, saying, "Okay. It's good that my son knows. You can practice martial arts well, and wait for you to grow stronger. Kill Zhang Xiu, and you will be intimidating the world."

"promise."

Ma Chao agreed with a loud promise.

At this moment, Ma Dai took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, I want to go too."

"Okay. You guys go together." Ma Teng also had high hopes for this Congzi and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you uncle." Ma Dai was overjoyed and thanked him. Then Ma Teng asked his second son to go down and rest early the next morning. Yang Fu was the actual commander, and in the name of Ma Chao, he led 30,000 troops to set off Jieting.

Jieting!
Chapter completed!
