In a side hall.

Xian Yufu, Tian Yu and Wang Xiu came to sit in the side hall under the guidance of the eunuch. The three of them were quite familiar with each other.

Xian Yufu and Tian Yu were originally from the township party of the county. Wang Xiu worked with them under Shi Guangyuan's disciples. All three of them were capable and had very noble moral character, so they naturally became familiar with each other and had similar odor.

But in such a serious occasion, none of the three people spoke, just sat down and waited.

Not long after, an eunuch walked in from outside and said, "Your Majesty summons you to wait."

Xian Yufu and the other two bowed, then stood up, left the side hall one by one, and headed to the side hall where Zhang Xiu was.

After entering the side hall, Xian Yufu and others were surprised to find that there was already someone there, and this person was extremely young and a teenager.

Without thinking too much, they all looked up and bowed to Zhang Xiu, who was sitting on the imperial throne.

"His Majesty."

"No gifts, sit down." Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile, very gentle. He always looked up to talented people.

After the three of them sat down, Zhang Xiu talked to the three of them for a while, mainly to understand who was who, and there was no need for the test.

These three people are all famous and surnamed people in history books, so there is no need to be tested.

He turned his head and pointed at Zhang Yong and said, "This is my son. General An Liang, Zhang Yong, who opened the mansion and led the 30,000 horse and infantry troops."

In fact, the three of them had already guessed that Zhang Xiu and Zhang Yong looked so similar.

But they still looked at the eldest son of the emperor for a while. In the battle of Youzhou, the eldest son of the emperor had outstanding military achievements, pacified the two counties, killed Tadun, and destroyed the King of Goguryeo.

The emperor was granted the title of General Anliang for his merits, and he established a palace and led 30,000 horse and infantry troops.

Now, some bad phenomena have occurred in the imperial court...

The title of General An Liang is really imaginative. Many people think that Zhang Xiu prefers his eldest son, and is arranging his eldest son Zhang Yong to replace his eldest son Zhang Pengzu.

Some speculators plan to join Zhang Yong's disciples.

The prince tree has deep roots and a stable status. Some loyal ministers began to notice this matter and were prepared to protect the prince to deal with Zhang Yong's challenge.

The representative figure is [Tian Feng].

Xian Yufu and the other two were smart people, but they couldn't guess why Zhang Xiu brought Zhang Yong with him when he summoned them. Although they were confused, they did not lose their manners and bowed to Zhang Yong and said, "I have met you."

"Everyone."

Zhang Yong was also very decent and held his fists back to his respect.

Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, looking at his son as if he was looking at himself before. He was respectful and virtuous, brave and good at fighting. The son born by Empress Dowager He is really outstanding.

"The three are all great talents, and I love you very much. General Zhang is my eldest son, and I love him very much, but I am worried that he is young, but I hold 30,000 troops. Therefore, I plan to use Mr. Wang as the chief secretary of General Anliang, Mr. Xianyu as the left Sima, and Mr. Tian as the right Sima, to assist General Anliang together. What do you think of the three?"

Zhang Xiu asked with a smile.

Zhang Yong's eyes flashed with a bright light.

Xian Yufu, Wang Xiu, and Tian Yu were all shocked. They didn't dislike their low official positions.

General Anliang opened the mansion. The chief of Kaifu, Sima on the left and Sima on the right, was not low in rank, and more importantly, Zhang Yong held 30,000 troops. Why did they worry about not being able to make military achievements after following Zhang Yong?

They were shocked by Zhang Xiu's intention.

"Is it possible that the emperor really intends to change the prince?" Xian Yufu, Wang Xiu, and Tian Yu thought to himself, and were quite worried.

The Liang Dynasty was first established, and the prince was the foundation of the country. It shakes the foundation of the country and shakes the mountains.

"Thank you for your kindness. I will do my best to assist General An Liang." But the three of them did not hesitate. Tian Yu first spoke, and the other two spoke separately.

Their origins are very ordinary. Now they have the opportunity to meet Master Liang in person. After passing this village, there will be no store. No matter what kind of ship it is, get on the ship first.

"Hahaha. With three helps, General An Liang will definitely benefit a lot." Zhang Xiu laughed, then looked at Zhang Yong and said seriously: "Yong'er. These three gentlemen are all great talents. In the future, all matters in the military camp must be discussed with the three gentlemen before implementing them."

"No." Zhang Yong took a deep breath and bowed his hand and said, his voice trembling a little.

Until now, he did not think that his father would change the prince. His father was a very independent and often unexpected person.

The father must have far-reaching intentions when he does this.

For him, this is also a thing worthy of joy. Lord Liang was Bo Le, who was famous all over the world. The father looked up to the three of them, and these three must be great talents.

Lu Xiong, He Min, Tian Yufu, Xian Yufu, Wang Xiu, and now his command is full of talents.

In the future, in the process of pacifying the world, there will be more opportunities to gain military achievements.

Although he did not believe that his father would change his prince, he believed that his father would definitely make him king.

The more military achievements you have, the greater the future ban.

Zhang Xiu quickly arranged for Cai Mao to issue an official edict, appointing Tian Yu and the other two to make seals and uniforms, and ordered Zhang Yong to train his troops.

In the battle of Youzhou, the Liang army basically suffered no losses. However, Zhang Yong's troops were too mixed, including the Huns, Han people, Xianbei people, and Goguryeo people. They were really diverse and needed good training and integrated combat power to come in handy.

The battle in Jizhou is already close.

Just wait for Hu Cheer and others to send troops to Central Plains and Cao Cao retreated and could send troops to swallow Yuan Shao.

.............

The fifth year of Hongwu, spring.

Hu Cheer led 30,000 cavalry, including 10,000 heavy Han army and 20,000 Qiang light cavalry. He transferred to Luoyang through Bingzhou.

Immediately, Wu Kuang and Xu Rong, the two armies of the North and South, led 30,000 elite infantry troops to march with Hu Cheer to Hulao Pass and meet with Zhang Liao.

The troops in Hulao Pass were 70,000 elite soldiers, and they were all commanders of powerful generals, which was enough to pose a huge threat to Cao Cao's Central Plains.

Hulao Pass is not enough to camp so many troops, and the troops stay outside the pass. Xu Rong, Wu Kuang and Hu Cheer led their respective personal soldiers into the pass.

Zhang Liao greeted him outside the Guanling Mansion. After seeing him, everyone came to the hall to sit down.

"According to Your Majesty's order, we are controlled by General Zhang in this battle." After Hu Cheer sat down, he bowed to Zhang Liao, who was sitting in the main seat, and then said: "We will send troops first to cause shock to the Central Plains. Then General Taishi Ci will send troops from Henoi to attack Chaoge. General Hengjiang, Gui Gu, drove the naval warships and cruising in Guandu, and acted as if he cut off Cao Cao's retreat. Cao Cao must be worried about the foundation of the Central Plains and left Jizhou. Once Cao Cao left, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others could not support him. His Majesty personally sent troops to attack Jizhou from Youzhou, and he could pacify Hebei in one battle."

The generals here actually knew about this. But listening to Hu Cheer's words, the generals were still excited.

The heroes competed for the victory, and the Liang Kingdom dominated the country. Only Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Sun Jian were left. Now we finally started to work and tie the three heroes.

The unification of the world seems to be tomorrow.

"I understand." Zhang Liao took a deep breath and focused his head. Then, he asked his personal soldiers to move in a screen with a map, pointing to the map and said: "Cao Cao does not have many cavalry, except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, they are all miscellaneous cavalry. A flat horse in the Central Plains is conducive to the cavalry crisscrossing. Dongjun is the capital of Cao Cao. Please ask General Hu to prepare two horses, bring enough supplies and food to go to Dongjun. Dongjun is strong and will definitely not be able to fight. However, the appearance of Liang army in Dongjun will definitely cause shock to the Central Plains."

"Xiahou Dun led tens of thousands of troops to command Xingyang. I personally commanded 40,000 infantry and attacked Xingyang. In addition, I sent people to the counties and counties of the Central Plains to issue a manifesto. The Liang Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty and the destiny of heaven. Some people must be willing to respond to the Liang Dynasty and betray Cao Cao."

"promise."

After hearing this, the generals responded.

Today the army was repaired. The next morning, Hu Cheer led his 30,000 cavalrymen, ignored the city guarded by heavy troops along the way, and rushed straight to Dongjun.

Zhang Liao led 40,000 infantry troops and rushed straight to Xingyang.

............

Xingyang.

In history, Cao Cao was defeated in Xingyang and almost killed by Xu Rong.

In this time and space, this city has been operated by Cao Cao for a long time. Its city was newly built, with a small population in the city, but the city walls were very large, and the city walls were very wide, high and strong.

It has only one purpose, a military fortress for garrisoning troops.

"Wow!!!!"

On the city gate, the flags of "Cao" and "Xiahou" were flying in the wind, roaring. Several fast horses came from the west, arrived at the city gate, and after talking to the defenders, they galloped into the city.

The city general Xiahou Dun summoned all the generals and came to the hall of the general's mansion to discuss.

Xiahou Dun sat in the main seat with his sword. Although he was not wearing armor, it did not damage the momentum of his general. The generals below were also majestic and mighty.

"According to the Ma Lai report, Hu Cheer sent 30,000 troops in Hulao Pass, Zhang Liao sent 40,000 troops before going. Hu Cheer did not bring too much baggage, and was traveling northeast, probably to Dongjun. Zhang Liao rushed straight to Xingyang."

Xiahou Dun held the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice.

"General. Could this be a mistake? Zhang Liao rushed straight to Xingyang, which was expected. If he didn't attack Xingyang, he would be unable to enter the Central Plains. But Hu Cheer used cavalry to attack Dongjun?" A general said with confusion.

Xiahou Dun nodded and showed doubts.

A Cao general sighed and said, "Hu Cheer attacked Dongjun not to capture Dongjun, but to declare that the Liang army had sent troops and had the ability to attack the four prefectures of the Central Plains, which attracted the hearts of the people in the Central Plains."

Xiahou Dun's face changed, he suddenly stood up and ordered: "Send someone to pass the news back to Dongjun and send it to the north to the lord. We will prepare to defend the city immediately."

"promise."

The generals agreed and turned around immediately.

The Cao army in Xingyang began to prepare for war.

............

Although Hu Cheer is a cavalry and marches like the wind, they can explore horses faster. They can change horses and people along the way, travel day and night, and there is no need for baggage.

Before Hu Cheer arrived in Dongjun, Xiahou Dun's men arrived in Puyang City, Dongjun.

Even cities like Xingyang are tall and strongly managed by Cao Cao, let alone Puyang. Puyang City is now the largest and most majestic city in the entire Central Plains region.

Like Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao also made contributions to the people. He pacified the wars in the Central Plains, collected the land of the four states for his own use, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
