Song Xian and Zhang Liao were both Lu Bu's descending generals. When they surrendered, they complained to Hou Cheng about Zhang Liao who spoke out in public.

However, as Zhang Liao followed Ganling one after another, Yan Xing attacked the Tuo Yi army, the Southern Xiongnu, and Guo Si army. After accumulating merits and being promoted to General of the Central Army, he began to respect Zhang Liao and get along with the best.

At present, Hou Cheng was sent to the right wing by Duan Wei as a cavalryman, and he followed Zhang Liao to lead the left-wing cavalry to defeat the enemy in front of him, and prepared to encircle and attack Ma Teng's central army.

Therefore, when he heard the horn of shrinking troops from the formation, Song Xian saw Zhang Liao who was frowning with his horse, and immediately blurted out his thoughts.

In his opinion, this is a very tempting and promising idea.

The Ma Teng army fighting in front of him is the enemy, but the Hongnong soldiers fighting together behind him may not be the enemy.

If Zhang Liao could kill people with a knife while annihilated the main force of Ma Teng's army, and let Duan Wei, veteran Hongnong, make some mistakes, not only would he make a great contribution to killing the general and snatching the flag on the battlefield, but in the mind of the General of the Cavalry, he would also leave a confidant that Zhang Liao could not only fight tough battles, but also entrust to do big things.

Maybe he can become one of the few generals under the command of General Cavalry.

Although his closeness is definitely not as close as that of Gan Ling, who is a friend of the poor and humble relationship with General Cavalry. Yan Xing, the younger brother of General Cavalry, is about to become the sister-in-law of General Cavalry, but he will definitely be ranked alongside Xu Huang, Zhai Hao, Cao Yuan and other side generals under General Cavalry.

By that time, Song Xian would have risen and would have been able to become a military lieutenant.

Song Xian secretly cared about his little thoughts in his heart, but Zhang Liao felt a little sad after hearing Song Xian's words, but hesitated for a while and had already made up his mind to stop hesitating.

As a military general, the central army has orders but refuses to follow them. He is determined to be alone in the end. He may not end up harming others and self-interest, but he will harm others and himself.

Zhang Liao was murderous intent, and he turned around and glared at Song Xian. He immediately scared Song Xian to the point of his mouth and swallowed all the words he said, lowering his head in fear.

"Military orders are like mountains. As a general, how can you not obey the orders and do your own things well? Don't mention such things in the future!"

Zhang Liao's voice was not high, but he had a majesty that should not be despised. Song Xian, who lowered his head, could only respond with a resentment.

Zhang Liao no longer cared about Song Xian. He looked up at the central army formation that was shaking his order flag and the noise of the horse cavalry, and waved his orders firmly.

"Shrink your troops and return to the Central Army!"

···

The dusk was dark and a war came to an end.

Facing Duan Wei's shrinking front and the pressure of the two wings returning to support, the resistance the horse's cavalry suffered greatly when rushing to the battlefield. The previous breakthrough became more difficult and painful.

Once this cavalry that rushed into the enemy formation was entangled by the opponent's sport and lost the horse that charged and assaulted, it would be sooner or later that the entire army would be destroyed.

Although he is young, he has already experienced many battles and is aware of this.

Fortunately, my father's army had a gap in the gap of Duan Wei's shrinking force, and he had already breathed a sigh of relief. He was able to re-form the formation, maintain the formation and set a distance between Duan Wei's army and slowly retreated back to the camp.

My own desperate efforts have achieved the greatest results, and it is time to retire without fail, rather than just fighting to the death.

The horse roared to the sky, raised its spear in its hand and pointed to another direction. The cavalry under its command turned together, followed the horses charging forward, followed the gap in the army that had not been surrounded and broke out of the enemy again.

Although the horses were intercepted and dropped along the way, the horses finally fought hard to break into a bloody road before being surrounded by the shrinking Duan Wei army. With more than 600 cavalry left, the horses rushed back to the left-wing army formation.

When Ma Dai saw the horse covered in blood, the cavalry under his command, who was injured, killing Duan Wei's military formation again. He was immediately delighted. The situation was critical before, and he thought the horse was about to fail several times and was trapped in Duan Wei's military formation.

It’s really great to see Ma Anran return now!

Although Ma Teng's army was defeated in this battle, due to the critical moment, Ma led his army to counterattack, forcing Duan Wei to shrink his troops and concentrate his troops in the central army, so that the main force in the army could avoid the misfortune of being surrounded and annihilated by Duan Wei's army. After paying the price of some casualties, Ma Teng's army finally re-arranged and restored some morale.

Duan Wei saw that it was already dusk, so he did not dare to take the risk of attacking the enemy camp overnight. So after Ma Teng's army slowly retreated and retreated into the camp, Duan Wei also ordered a temporary recession, gather troops and retreat to his own camp, preparing to repair the soldiers, and then advance to the Ma Teng's army the next day, so he would have to annihilate the main force of the enemy as soon as possible.

However, Duan Wei's plan to wipe out Ma Tengjun again the next day is destined to fail to achieve.

That night, Ma Teng's army took the initiative to burn the camp and retreat, abandoned the army's baggage, blocked the pursuers with flames, and withdrew lightly overnight.

In the following days, Ma Teng did not intend to defend Chang'an City, but crossed the river at Weiqiao north of Chang'an, heading north, and retreated to the valley entrance.

After Duan Wei learned that Ma Teng fled, he kept chasing and attacking each other, but instead directed the army to continue advancing and recovered Chang'an City in one fell swoop.

···

Fengyi County, Gaoling.

The good news of Duan Wei's recovery of Chang'an City came. Gan Ling, who was discussing affairs in the tent with Yan Xing, did not show much joy after seeing it.

He said unhappily:

"This general who is expeditioning the West is really afraid that we will steal his credit. If we wait a few more days, we will wait for this army to collect Chiyang, Changling, Duling and other cities, and surround Ma Teng's army from Weibei. This time, we will be able to eliminate Ma Teng's army south of the Wei River in one battle!"

After hearing this, Yan Xing stood up and took Gan Ling's military newspaper into his hand. After a few glances, he laughed and said:

"After all, I was the veteran of Dongying at that time. I can get this credit for winning, but I can't share it with other friendly forces."

"I don't expect him, a veteran Dongying, to share the credit for regaining Chang'an City with me. As long as he can annihilate Ma Teng's army on the south bank of the Wei River, what if I don't make any contribution, but he didn't leave Ma Teng!"

Gan Ling raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer.

Yan Xing looked at the military newspaper a few more times before responding to persuasion:

"But after all, Ma Teng's army has many cavalry and retreats. Duan Zhengxi has not many cavalry under his command, so he can only defeat but cannot annihilate it. It is reasonable. The military situation is like fire, the fighter planes are fleeting, and it is common sense to lead the generals and cannot wait for friendly troops. Duan Zhengxi gave up Hongnong County, but he still counts on this great contribution to consolidate his position. Don't blame him!"

When Gan Ling heard this, he smiled coldly, got up and turned to the map hanging on the tent wall, pointing to the mountains, rivers and cities above and said:

"Forget it, just like you and I know this. Duan Zhengxi's identity is special, so don't mention it too much. After defeating Ma Teng and regaining Chang'an, the Guanzhong has been worth most of it. There are only some edges and corners left at the moment, and we need to send troops."

Yan Xing also moved over and stared at the mountains, rivers and cities on the map and said:

"According to the scouts, Ma Teng rushed to the valley entrance, afraid he would go to Xiaoguan Road, and escape back to Wuwei after An Ding. In the direction of Wuguan, according to Duan Zhengxi's military newspaper, Liu Biao's army was also unbearable, and he was defeated by an unknown young man Wang Zhong. He is now fighting with Liang Xing's troops from Lantian and turned to Shangluo. It will be sooner or later that these two groups of people were destroyed by Duan Zhengxi's army."

Speaking of this, Yan Xing paused for a moment, pointed to the area west of Chang'an and between Weiyu, frowned slightly and said:

"Now, Guanzhong has mostly fallen into our bags, and the only tricky one is the corner of Fufeng County. The military newspaper said that the vanguard of Jincheng Han Sui had already entered the middle of the squad. Although Jincheng was a little late, it was the time when the autumn was high and the horse was fat. Han Sui led the army of Han, Qiang and Hu to come, and it was still a strong enemy fighting for Guanzhong!"

The name of Han Sui in Jincheng is almost Ganling and Yan Xing heard about it when he was young.

But at this time, Gan Ling snorted coldly after hearing Yan Xing's words.

Once upon a time, this was also a big man who needed him to look up to, but now Hedong is in great power and sweeping across Guanzhong. As the chief general of a large army, Gan Ling seized the advantage of the territory in advance and was able to compete with him without having to be afraid of Jincheng Han Sui.

The arrival of a powerful enemy aroused Gan Ling's strong fighting spirit. He turned his eyes and looked at Yan Xing and laughed:

"Han Sui's coalition seems to be powerful, but Liang's land also has many constraints. The Han family, with the Hu and Han army in Liangzhou, repeatedly invaded the Three Guards in the east, but were defeated by Huangfu Song and Li Jue for a reason. After the battle of Chen Cang, we saw this clearly. Now that most of the Guanzhong is in the hands, why should we worry? Gather troops to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and defend them. When their energy declines, we will attack again and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Yan Xing also laughed when he saw Gan Ling Shengxin holding it, but after laughing, he was a little worried.

"Things of the world are unpredictable. When Chen Cang was defeated by the Han family and was defeated, how could we think that we are still today? It's just that Guanzhong has been through war for a long time and was already ruined. The army's expedition to the west depended on the supply of food and grass in Hedong. The long-term support of the army and Ma Teng's army had already put Henan and Hanoi in danger. Although the crisis in Guandong has been lifted now, if we confront Han Sui for a long time, I'm afraid that the food and grass in the army will not be able to support it!"

After Yan Xing said this, Gan Ling frowned when he remembered what had just happened to Guandong before. The generals who were leading troops outside were only concerned about urging Yan Shu from Hedong to ask for food, supplies, weapons, armor and equipment, and then waited for the most favorable fighter to send troops to defeat the enemy.

However, Yan Xing, who was the General of the Cavalry, was in charge of the logistics affairs of the Western Expedition Army, but he could not only consider these things.

Gan Ling thought about it, waved his hand, and said helplessly:
Chapter completed!
