Wei Gu smiled. Although Fan Xian did not make an angry with him in advance in this matter, he could guess in his heart that Fan Xian’s purpose of doing this.

First of all, Jiangyi was originally regarded as one of the three-point land by Fan, but because Yan Xing's Xiliang army later intervened strongly and killed Fan Yong, Fan Gui, Zhang Lang and others one after another, the influence of Fan's family in Jiangyi and the county soldiers was completely eliminated.

Now Fan Gui is a military officer and is in charge of the county soldiers again. He naturally wants to reshape the influence of Fan's family among the county soldiers. His first choice is Jiangyi, which made Fan's face lose all his face.

Secondly, the county soldiers who entered Jiangyi, in addition to the benefits to the county government mentioned by Fan Xian for Wangyi, the Fan family also had great geographical advantages in dealing with the Xiliang army.

Jiangyi and Linfen are only separated by a river. The county soldiers can threaten the Xiliang Army's base, Linfen, and the supply of the Xiliang Army's military supplies must also pass through Jiangyi. The county soldiers led by Fan Xian can enter this place and make a clever name anytime and anywhere, cutting off the Xiliang Army's military supplies, as if strangling the Xiliang Army's throat.

Wei Gu thought that these two items were enough to promote Fan Xian to actively enter Jiangyi.

In fact, Fan Xian was indeed positive enough.

In order to create a fait accompli and not give the Xiliang army time to deal with it, Fan Xian personally led two thousand county soldiers and chose to send the county government's manifesto to Jiangyi before Jiangyi.

Even in order to achieve the effect of speed of military force, Fan Xian used the only 200 cavalry among the Hedong County soldiers as the vanguard, preparing to attack Jiangyi as if the Western Liang army had captured the Pi City, and to capture Jiangyi City under the eyes of the Western Liang army.

After Fan Xian was recruited by the county government as a military officer, he also planted many Fan clan members among the county soldiers. When he was sending troops, he privately smiled at the tribe members who were sending troops with him that this time he would use his spear to attack his shield and use the most familiar tactics of the Western Liang army to attack the Western Liang army off guard.

Unfortunately, the result exceeded Fan Xian's expectations.

In the realm of hearing joy

Xu Huang and Yang Feng stood on a hill, overlooking a pre-ambush ambush battle beneath the hill.

As the vanguard of Hedong County, the two hundred cavalrymen were attacked by the Xiliang army who were ambushing in the forest beside the road while advancing in Wenxi.

The first round of sudden arrow rain shot off the hundred generals who were the first to be attacked. The subsequent arrow rain became increasingly dense and rapid. The ranks of the vanguard cavalry of the Hedong County soldiers were attacked from front and back. The horse knights were stunned. While hurriedly avoiding, blocking the arrow rain from the forest, they subconsciously gathered to a safe area.

The result is that many cavalry who were not shot in the arrow gathered together, unable to advance or retreat, and the vanguard cavalry who had lost command were in chaos, just like a living target, and it was easier to get shot in the arrow immediately.

In desperation, the cavalry on the horse could only dismount, carry their swords and bows, and lined up to rush into the forest.

The Xiliang army in the forest did not give these dismounted cavalry a chance to attack. A sound of horns sounded, and the arrows gradually stopped. Many Xiliang soldiers were erecting spears, holding swords and shields, and also lined up to attack left and right from the forests on both sides of the roadside, pressing towards the vanguard cavalry of the Hedong County soldiers.

The vanguard cavalry, who were struggling to resist the Western Liang army within a few moments, could not resist. The troops of the Western Liang army tore the line from the middle and divided it into several pieces, surrounded on all sides. At the end of their way, the dismounted cavalry could only kneel down and surrender and act as prisoners of the Western Liang army.

The victorious Xiliang soldiers quickly cleaned the battlefield and escorted the prisoners, and the horn was quickly blown again, which was a signal of retreat.

After watching this short ambush, Yang Feng said to Xu Huang beside him with some jokes:

"If these cavalrymen of the county soldiers really go to the battlefield, they will be infantry who send horses to the enemy."

After hearing Yang Feng's words, Xu Huang moved his thick eyebrows on his face.

The county soldiers in Hedong are still accustomed to war. Although this small-scale cavalry is not called a elite cavalry, it is also the leader among the county soldiers.

However, in Yang Feng's eyes, it was as clumsy as infantry who used horses to travel. After all, the people of Liangzhou were all used to war, and the people were strong. Even most women and children could ride horses and carry bows. The Western Liang cavalry who fought for many years were even more cavalry and were good at fighting.

"But if these people arrive at Jiangyi, it will be a problem after all."

After hearing Xu Huang's words, Yang Feng nodded. Before entering the northern border, Yan Xing had instructed the two to be optimistic about the retreat of the Xiliang army. Jiangyi's base camp is close to Linfen, and he would not be able to make mistakes. He granted the two people the right to make decisions at the moment. If other people invade, they would firmly block the enemy from Jiangyi in the future.

Therefore, after discovering the information that the Hedong County soldiers wanted to enter Jiangyi, the two immediately decided to take the initiative, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and ambush the vanguard cavalry of the Hedong County soldiers to shock the increasingly restless Hedong County soldiers behind them.

"However, I'm still a little curious, Sima Xu, how can you find out the trends of the county soldiers in advance?"

While the two of them were turning their horses' heads and stepping down the hillside, Yang Feng looked at Xu Huang, who was calm and as he asked curiously.

Originally, in Yang Feng's opinion, Xu Huang, a Hedong man, would eventually be indecisive and look back. But now, Xu Huang is not only decisive in using troops to the Hedong County soldiers, but also collecting intelligence is much more agile and quicker than his opponents.

Xu Huang's face was unrest, and he glanced at Yang Feng.

"The soldiers and soldiers in Hedong County Government are parents of the surname Fan. They regard us as enemies. With the hatred of Fan Yong and Fan Gui in the past, how could I not be careful about the soldiers in Hedong County? This time, we know the whereabouts of the soldiers in the county so much, thanks to the soldiers of Fan Yong and Fan Gui!"

“Why?”

"Fan was very afraid of us. In order to deal with us, he not only mobilized the cavalry of the county soldiers on a large scale, but also transferred a large number of baggage and armored staff from the county government's warehouse, Jin Cao, and other cadres. The military orders were issued and it took three days to allocate them to the dispatcher. With such a big noise, the journey between Jiangyi and Anyi is only one day long, so how could I not find out."

After hearing Xu Huang's words, Yang Feng smiled again, but this time there was no banter on his face, but he looked faintly impressed.

Xu Huang was once a county official in the county government. Although he abandoned his pen and joined the army, he had some connections in the county government in the past. It was difficult for him to know the secret planning in the county government, but as long as there were such a large number of troops and horses in the county government, he would definitely not hide it from Xu Huang, a person with a heart.

Anyi Hedong County Government

"The two hundred cavalry of the county soldiers were broken into the hands of the Xiliang Army?"

After hearing the report of Fan Xian, Wang Yi knelt on the ground and bowed his head to apologize, and slowly uttered such a question. There was no angry expression on his face, but those who were familiar with his behavior could see the anger in Wang Yi's heart at this moment from the position where he held the handle of the jade stick.

Fan Xian was both annoyed and shocked. He could only kowtow and apologize. The Xiliang soldiers were able to find out his military actions clearly, just like a spy burying beside him. When he led the county soldiers into Wenxi's territory, he suddenly heard the bad news that the vanguard's cavalry had been ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.

In horror, Fan Xian hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to forcefully tease the Xiliang soldiers who had already exposed their fangs. Instead, he chose to withdraw and return to the county government to report the particularly serious situation to Wang Yi.

"The Lord of the House, this time, I ambushed, and I dare not escape. However, the captured county soldiers have been released by the Xiliang soldiers. According to their words, the Xiliang soldiers were carefully set up in Wenxi's territory, which caught them off guard and fell into the ambush."

"First think about it, when will the Xiliang soldiers be able to drive to Jiangyi? Wenxi and no one knows it? It must be Jiangyi. The county temples of Wenxi and the Xiliang soldiers had already colluded with each other, so that the Xiliang soldiers sneaked into Wenxi's territory. Our army had no idea. First, we risked our lives to ask the emperor to pursue Wenxi and pursue Wenxi and the officials in Jiangyi were in prison, and cut off the eyes and ears of these secretly assisting the Xiliang soldiers."

"Enough!"

Wang Yi finally got angry and angrily scolded Fan Xian. Although he did not expect that the Xiliang soldiers in Jiangyi would react so fiercely after learning that the Hedong County soldiers wanted to enter Jiangyi. They even did not hesitate to fight with the Hedong County Government and fight to the death.

But what he was even more angry was Fan Xian's behavior of doing big things and cherishing himself, and being stern on the outside. The Xiliang soldiers explored the movements of the Hedong County soldiers in advance and ambushed the vanguard cavalry of the Hedong County soldiers. This had already caused serious damage to the reputation of the Hedong County Government. Fan Xian, who was frightened to retreat, further expanded the disadvantage of the confrontation between the two sides, which eventually made the Hedong County Government fall into an absolute passive attitude in dealing with the Xiliang soldiers.

Even with the county government's manifesto, Fan Xian led the Hedong County soldiers to continue to advance to Jiangyi, and finally fought with the Xiliang soldiers and was defeated and died, which was better than the vanguard cavalry when they encountered the ambush of the Xiliang soldiers, the main force was like a frightened bird, and the turtle retreated back to Anyi.

Jiangyi, the officials and civilians who were Wenxi may have committed crimes of inadvertent investigation and collusion in advance, but after Fan Xian retreated in a hurry, the majesty of the county government suddenly fell into dust. In the future, the officials and civilians in the two places who were swaying in the future would be more inclined to the Western Liang army, which was unstoppable.

The Hedong County Government is now in an embarrassing situation. At this time, who can still be held accountable?

Wang Yi's face was not angry. After Fan Xian was scolded, he did not dare to speak out again. He could only bury his head on the ground and unable to raise his head.

After a while, Wang Yi slightly suppressed his anger and repelled Fan Xian, sitting alone in the hall thinking about the next countermeasures.

This time, the county soldiers took advantage of the situation and intervened as a test, but the fierce reaction of the Western Liang soldiers and Fan Xian's fierce behavior on the outside made Wang Yi himself fall into a very difficult situation.

The reason why Fan Xian was not dealt with for the time being was for the consideration of winning over the Anyi surname. Although Fan Xian's reckless and short-sighted and ignorant behavior made Wang Yi angry, for the sake of the stability of Anyi, Wang Yi still tolerated the disposal of Fan Xian.

However, the temporary tolerance of the Western Liang soldiers was because Wang Yi severely discovered that once both sides broke up and the county government in the advantageous side would not have known how much price it would take to completely pacify the huge waves caused by the Western Liang soldiers.

Wang Yi sat alone in the hall, holding a jade stick in his left hand rhythmically slapped his right hand's palm, and thought about the intricate joints of the current situation in Hedong back and forth in his mind.

Since the county government cannot confront each other head-on, the Fan family, who has the strongest attitude towards the Western Liang soldiers, actually performed terrible. Wang Yi could only use a soft knife to slowly solve the difficult mess of the Western Liang soldiers.

The appointment of the trial guards in the northeastern border of Hedong and actively provide relief to the victims in the north is to compete with the Xiliang soldiers for the people in Hedong and ensure the moral commanding heights of the county government's jurisdiction over Hedong. However, the Chang'an court took the initiative to ask for credit for Yan Xing's Xiliang army, and to retreat as soon as possible, and with the help of the Chang'an court, the Xiliang army, which had a ill-conspiracy against Hedong as soon as possible.
