The war in Hetao broke out too quickly. When the princes just learned that the Huns secretly sneaked into Guanzhong to launch an attack on Chang'an and were discovered by Ye Zhao in advance and ambushed with the plan, Ye Zhao had already taken down the big city wall, and Xu Rong led his army to form a step-by-step pressing against the royal court.

The incident happened in Hetao. It would take some time for the princes to know, but just this surprise attack and counterattack between Guanzhong and the Huns was enough to surprise the princes in the world.

Jincheng, Han Mansion.

Han Sui threw the information aside, shook his head and sneered: "I don't know who made the plan. Although the Taiwei had just pacified Guanzhong, his army was so strong that it was not comparable to these Xiongnu people, ten thousand people... haha~"

As a neighbor, Han Sui naturally obtained the information from Guanzhong the fastest. Han Sui naturally sneered at the Huns' ignorance of life and death. Although he was in a barren land like Xiliang, he was quite concerned about the information in the Central Plains. Han Sui admired the youngest Taiwei of the Han Dynasty.

From the earliest killing of Helian in Youzhou, to the performance of turning the tides with fewer victory over the more in the Yellow Turban Uprising, to Muye's rescue, plotting against the princes, plotting against Shu, and the recent forced attack on Guanzhong, Ye Zhao's current status is almost all achieved by him with one sword and one shot. In terms of military strategy, Han Sui can say responsibly that looking at the entire Han Dynasty, there are not many people who can compare with it. Moreover, as Ye Zhao's governor, Chang'an's guard power cannot be underestimated. Ten thousand Huns, these Huns are really a big heart, so they don't ask for it.

"Lord, can you tell me about this? Could it be that Zhong Yuanchang..." Han Sui's general Cheng Gongying looked at Han Sui and asked.

"It must be him!" Han Sui nodded. Zhong Yao first looked for him and Ma Teng, but Han Sui felt that this matter was not reliable. Moreover, Ye Zhao had already obtained absolute dominance in Guanzhong at that time, and Ma Teng did not want to start a war with Ye Zhao, so he rejected Zhong Yao's proposal. Now it seems that Zhong Yao did not give up and ran to find the Huns and brought the Huns to Kuang.

"Send Yan Xing to order all the troops and horses to prepare for the expedition!" Han Sui said with a smile.

"The lord wants to send troops to Guanzhong?" Cheng Gongying said in surprise.

"Of course not!" Han Sui smiled and said, "Now the Grand Marshal won consecutive battles, but in fact he was in full swing. Now he was sending troops to Guanzhong, how unwise it is!"

"Then..." Cheng Gongying looked at Han Sui and said uncertainly: "Huns?"

"Not bad!" Han Sui smiled and said, "I was killed by Lian in the past, but the Taiwei was destroyed by the Taiwei in a blink of an eye. With the Taiwei's character, how could he just destroy the invading enemy and be willing to give up? If what I expected was, the Taiwei might have begun to plan Hetao at this moment, and we just went over and got a share of the pie! It can be considered as making a good relationship with the Taiwei."

Han Sui knew very well that with his foundation in Xiliang, he was not qualified to fight for dominance in the world, so he chose to entrench in this Xiliang land, watch the changes in the world, and then sell Xiliang at a good price. At the beginning, he was more optimistic about Yuan Shao.

However, before Ye Zhao left Shu strongly and decided to Guanzhong in one battle, Han Sui changed his mind. Ye Zhao got the country of Tianfu in Shu, and had a stable rear. If he occupied Guanzhong, he would be the prime minister of Longxing. In the Central Plains, although Yuan Shao was powerful, he still had Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, and Liu Bei coexist, which was far less stable than Ye Zhao's side.

The princes were fighting in chaos, and Ye Zhao would definitely pacify the rear first. Xiliang must first settle the battle and then send troops to Guandong.

Of course, Han Sui did not intend to surrender to Ye Zhao immediately. He had to wait. The situation in the world is now in the most intense stage. The war between Yuan Shao and Liu Bei in the north has not yet come to an end. However, Cao Cao has already stationed troops in Dongjun and Mount Tai. It seems that Yuan Shao has to fight on both sides. This battle is probably not too long. No matter who loses and who wins, the Central Plains will be a new pattern at that time. It is still a problem whether Ye Zhao has the energy to manage Xiliang at that time.

Moreover, this time, the dispatch of troops to Hetao can also plunder some population. Now, Han Sui took advantage of Ye Zhaoxing Shang's style to suck a lot of blood from the Western Regions, but he was reluctant to have no population, and it was difficult to convert these wealth into real strength. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to plunder it, Han Sui didn't know where to start.

Moreover, this time, he was also considered helping Ye Zhao and Ye Zhao eat meat and get the Hetao land. He followed him to drink some soup and plunder some people. He would not suffer any loss anyway.

Although according to military tactics, if the Huns are destroyed, it will be Xiliang's turn next. At this moment, they have a relationship with the Huns, but the problem is that even if they really join forces with the Huns, they may not be able to fight. The Huns can still pat their butts and leave and go back to the grassland. If Han Sui and the others really fight with Ye Zhao, they will have no place to run away.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Han Sui resolutely decided to deal with the Huns. As for Ye Zhao's side, it would be a temporary delay. As long as the princes of Guandong decide the victory or defeat, he may not have been able to continue to observe the success or failure of the princes, and he will be a local emperor for a few more years.

...

When Cao Cao received the information, he was already in Puyang. Yuan Shao's two armies attacked Youzhou. If Yuan Shao was allowed to pacify Youzhou, the four states would be too powerful. If they jointly attacked Yuan Shu from the south, Cao Cao would have no danger to defend. When Liu Bei sent people to form an alliance with Cao Cao and divide Jizhou together, Cao Cao refused his aides' proposal to take Qingzhou first, but led his army directly to Dongjun.

As long as you defeat Yuan Shao, Qingzhou is naturally his own. If he takes Qingzhou first, if Yuan Shao is defeated, he will not have enough troops to occupy Jizhou. At that time, Liu Bei will get a lot of advantages. If he directly attacks Jizhou with all his strength, if he can defeat Yuan Shao, he can take Jizhou first. At that time, he will definitely compete with Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei has taken over all the forces of Liu Yu, he will be promoted by Liu Yu and will be recognized by many scholars in Hebei. If he cannot seize the opportunity, it will be equivalent to making a wedding dress for Liu Bei.

After Cao Cao sent troops, Yuan Shao sent people to inform Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, hoping that the two of them could help him restrain Cao Cao, while urgently ordered Wen Chou, who was stationed in Yecheng, to send troops to stop Cao Cao. Yuan Shao is now the most powerful of the three families. Although they are fighting on two fronts, they are not afraid of the Cao-Liu alliance for a while. However, with Cao Cao's dispatch of troops, the focus of the battle changed. Zhang He was left to continue attacking Liu Bei, and led Yan Liang to lead the army south to fight Cao Cao.

Compared with Youzhou, which has a vast land and sparse population, Cao Cao now holds Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yingchuan, and neither population nor logistics can compare with Liu Bei. Therefore, after discussing with a group of staff, Yuan Shao decided to retire Cao Cao first and then do his best to deal with Liu Bei.

"Although Yuan Chang's plan is good, I think it gives Xiuming the opportunity to send troops to Hetao!" After hearing the news, Cao Cao couldn't help but shake his head and said to Zhong Yao.

"What does this mean?" Zhong Yao looked at Cao Cao in confusion: "When Ye Zhao was able to win Guanzhong, even if he could defeat the enemy who invaded the Huns, he shouldn't have entered Hetao at this time?"

"Wrong, this is the best time to enter Hetao!" Cao Cao shook his head and said, "Although Guanzhong is settled, the Xiongnu and Ma Teng of the Western Liang, Han Sui are still there. If Xiuming wants to leave the pass and enter the Central Plains, the rear must be stable. Now the Central Plains are in a melee, and the Sun family's Shi'er has successively seized Wu County, Kuaiji and Danyang counties. He is no longer satisfied at this time and is competing with the Shi'er and has no time to look north. Lu Bu has just obtained the Hongnong people and is consolidating his foundation. Moreover, Liu Biao is coveting the south, and the Hanzhong soldiers can also enter Nanyang at any time. At this time, he dare not send troops rashly. As for this side, our army and Benchu ​​fight, it is difficult to take care of Guanzhong. It is a good opportunity for him to clarify the rear. I think he will not only send troops, but also fight quickly."

"The Southern Xiongnu had more than 100,000 soldiers who controlled the string, and they were all cavalrymen. They came and went like the wind. Even if Ye Hou was good at fighting, it would be difficult to fight quickly. What would the lord say..." Zhong Yao looked at Cao Cao in confusion.

"Hey, it's because they are all cavalry that this battle is very fast." Cao Cao laughed and said, "I have studied Xiuming's past. Since he first entered the official career, he defeated a large number of Hu cavalry several times in the Danshan Mountain. I sent someone to go to the area to inquire and learn that Xiuming had once created a trap that could keep the cavalry from moving forward."

"Has a trap?" Zhong Yao looked at Cao Cao. He had never heard of this thing before.

"It's just like digging a small pit on the ground, the mouth of the bowl is so big. When the horse is running, if the horse's hooves step into it, the horse's legs will be broken. With this pit, do you think the Huns' cavalry can still run?" Cao Cao shook his head and sighed: "It seems that it is useless to cultivate and study things now."

Zhong Yao thought carefully, but the truth inside was not difficult to understand. He frowned and looked at Cao Cao and said, "If the Hetao quilt is broken, only Ma Teng and Han Sui are left, so I am afraid that Ye Zhao's opponent is definitely not Ye Zhao's opponent!"

"So, we should fight with Benchu ​​as soon as possible!" Cao Cao sighed. The Central Plains fought for years and the population had dropped sharply. Ye Zhao heard that the population had nearly doubled in control of Shuzhong. Now that he had Guanzhong again, Xiliang might not take long. Ye Zhao could be connected to the north and south. After a few years of cultivation, he could send troops to Guandong. At that time, if he was still in such a situation of being surrounded by enemies, he would not be able to fight Ye Zhao with all his might. At least, before Ye Zhao left the pass, he would swallow Yuan Shao.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao took the initiative this time. He wanted to take advantage of Yuan Shu being busy with civil strife to eradicate Yuan Shao first. At that time, the situation in the world will become clear. Although he does not have an absolute advantage, he has fertile soil in the Central Plains, and his population and material resources will surpass Ye Zhao. Of course, the premise is that Ye Zhao has not developed much during the period when he pacified the north. It is just that Xiliang and Hetao will shock Ye Zhao, but these two places have not many populations and will not help Ye Zhao in reality. It just sounds better to have three states. But in fact, Xiliang still has Qiang troubles, and it is very energy-consuming to manage them, and it is even worse than Youzhou. As long as he can win Qingzhou and Jizhou, he can surpass Ye Zhao in overall strength!

However, this was just a speculation based on Ye Zhao's possible reaction. When half a month later, Guan Yu destroyed the Great Walled City, beheaded 100,000, and Xu Rong's troops entered the Xiongnu royal court, both Han Sui and Cao Cao, who had just led their troops to fight, were still surprised.
