The Liangzhou grassland in May and June is the lushest time. The green and green fields are spreading with all kinds of blooming wild flowers. White clouds are running in the sky, like flocks of cattle and sheep; while the flocks of cattle and sheep gather and walk among the tall grass at waists, as if the white clouds in the sky are rolling. Looking into the distance, the dark green pine forest is like pieces of black jade embedded on a green carpet, which complements the Qilian Mountains and the Senyan Guzang City in the distance, showing a magnificent feeling.

A winding stream flows out from the woods and goes deep into the grassland. Wherever you pass, the water flows into several transparent and clear small pools. The water in the pool is clear and bright, with small beasts fighting, water birds circling, and frogs croaking one after another. Suddenly, the small beasts run around and the water birds fly high; the quiet water surface in the pool is shaking and gradually rippling. The ripples are finally broken by the iron hooves of the war horses and turned into water splashes that rise into the air.

One horse, ten horses, and a hundred horses. In an instant, hundreds of fully armed elite cavalrymen flowed through the stream and pools and galloped towards Guzang City, leaving only the two sides of the trampled mud and yellow water flow.

A middle-aged man in his forties was a man in his forties. He held the reins in one hand and galloped freely in the wilderness, showing his clever riding skills. His face was square, wide forehead and high eyebrows, and his appearance was originally considered to be upright, and he also had the unique strength of Liangzhou people. Unfortunately, his dark skin on his face was cracked in many places. If it weren't for the thick beard covering his face, it would be almost terrible. In addition, there was a fur wrapped around his waist like a Hu's chief, which seemed to be where he came from. But this person was definitely not the chief of the Hu. He was the General of Zhenxi, and Zhang Guiyi, the Governor of Liangzhou, was a capable subordinate of his right-hand man, and Sima Songpeng, the General of Zhenxi.

When Zhang Gui first conquered Liangzhou, the Xianbei rebelled, and the enemy thieves were scattered and besieged from Hexi to Longshang. Zhang Gui defeated him one by one, and then threatened Xizhou, and most of them were Song Pei's power. During the Yongxing period, there was also a great Xianbei chief named Ruoba who could invade. Ruoba could be the commander of Tufashu Jineng, who was under the command of Liquor. During the Xianping period, he attacked and killed Yang Xin, the governor of Liangzhou. Although Tufashu's skill was defeated, the power of Ruoba had not declined. Once the invasion was invaded, Yongliang would be both shocked. Zhang Gui sent Song Pei to attack him, destroying the Xianbei army in one battle, and the formation was assassinated as Luoba and surrendered more than 100,000 prisoners. Since then, Song Pei has become the de facto leader of the Liangzhou army.

A few days ago, when Song Peizheng's representative Zhang Gui was patrolling the local garrison, Guzang's envoy sent an urgent order to return immediately. Song Pei did not dare to delay and flew over night and entered Guzang City.

Guzang City was originally built by the Xiongnu. During the Han Dynasty, it was the territory of King Xiu Tu. After Huopiao and Yao fought in the west, it was only under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains regime. It was both the county seat of Wuwei County and the prefecture of Liangzhou. Zhang Gui drove the civilians to build it and expand it into a big city of seven miles north and three miles east and west. Because the city had a dragon shape based on the terrain, it was also called Wolong City by the people.

Song Pei entered from Guzang's west gate, and did not slow down along the way until the general's mansion in Zhenxi, located in the north of the city, jumped out to greet him. Song Pei suddenly grabbed his shoulder and whispered: "What's the matter? Could it be that the lord's condition... has recurred again?"

The head of the official led Song Pei into the mansion and waved his hands repeatedly: "The lord is still healthy. I am urgently recruiting Sima here because there is something wrong in Luoyang."

"Luoyang?"

"Yes. The Huns and Han Kingdoms successively led to Jie thieves in the Central Plains, and raised 200,000 troops to attack Luoyang. The court was afraid that they had issued an edict to order the world to serve the king. Calculate the time, and the official envoy should arrive in three or five days. The lord must have asked Sima about serving the king."

Zhang Gui is a powerful tyrant in Liangzhou, and is not comparable to ordinary local officials. There are rumors in Liangzhou that Zhang Gui used to be difficult to occupy Hexi in the past, and he intended to protect himself in order to achieve a successful result. After the divination came to a successful conclusion, he was overjoyed and said: "It is a sign of overlords." Although the rumors among the people cannot be fully believed, Zhang Gui, after he had strong forces to dominate Hexi, he was indeed willing to compare himself with the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, and had intervened in the Central Plains political struggle many times. Such people naturally had operations in Luoyang and had unique and efficient communication channels. The envoy who carried the imperial edict to serve the king had not yet resisted Guzang, and Liangzhou had already received news.

Therefore, Song Pei did not ask if the news was true, but just frowned: "The Huns and Han Kingdom? 200,000?"

"It is said that the Huns and Han countries have led their troops south this time, and there is no exaggeration. If the bandits are carrying the surrenders along the way, the number will be even more..." The scale of the General's Mansion in Zhenxi is not large. Speaking of this, Zhang Gui's study room for daily living has arrived. The leader of the official immediately kept silent, made an inviting Song Pei, and went to the door to stand by him.

Song Pei did not go directly into the door. He stood up and first adjusted his clothes, slapped the dust off his body, then raised his voice slightly: "Lord, Song Pei is asking for a meeting."

"Why do you have to be so polite at Zhongye? Come in." A young voice in the room responded.

Song Pei pushed the door open and entered.

On the soft couch in the study, the person sitting leaning against the soft cushion was Zhang Gui and Zhang Shiyan, the general of Zhenxi and the governor of Liangzhou.

This once strong man in Longyou is now suffering from illness and has become thinner. Even in the warm climate at the turn of spring and summer, he is wearing a thick fur coat and a brocade quilt on his lower body, making him look thinner. His hair on the fur coat is already white, and his hair in some places has fallen off, revealing his dark and yellow skin. Perhaps because of his poor spirits, Zhang Gui didn't say hello when he knew that Song Pei came, his eyes were half open and half closed, as if he was sleepy. But Song Pei didn't dare to despise the Liangzhou overlord for this reason.

.For several years, there have been only one ambitious people who have been ill due to Zhang Gui's serious illness, but they have been defeated by Zhang Gui without exception. Many opponents have died and some have fled far away from home, and the status of General Zhenxi and Governor of Liangzhou has never been shaken in the slightest sense of turmoil. Since the chaos, Qinchuan has lost his blood and blocked the northern bones like a mountain. Only Liangzhou has remained unmoved, and the military and civilians are at ease. Only Zhang Gui is relying on. Although Zhang Gui is old and his former tiger has become a sick tiger, his tiger power is still there and he will never be allowed to be violated by the small people!

Song Pei walked forward in a small step and bowed. When she got up, she saw a middle-aged man standing beside Zhang Gui with a similar appearance to Zhang Gui. He was the one who responded just now. Song Pei knew that this was Zhang Gui's second son, Zhang Mao, who had temporarily taken charge of the state affairs, so she nodded to him.

Zhang Mao was very humble and gave him a courtesy.

"I heard that the Huns used 200,000 troops to attack Luoyang, and the imperial court ordered the king to serve the king?" Song Pei did not make any extra greetings and asked in a straightforward manner.

Zhang Gui nodded slightly.

"What are the plans of the lord?"

Zhang Gui poked out his thin hand, and Zhang Mao immediately presented the long-prepared brush and ink, and spread out cloth for writing.

Zhang Gui's hands were trembling, and it was difficult to control his strength when writing, so every word was written very much. One side of cloth seemed to be dripping ink, but in fact he only had more than ten words: "When this patriot is loyal to the country, he should send troops to help. Quickly!"

"Okay!" Song Pei said firmly: "I'll order the troops immediately!"

Zhang Rui's tired face showed a little smile.

"To compete with the Huns, a large army must be dispatched. May I ask the lord, who is the chief general? Who is the deputy general?"

"Anxun is in Luoyang, and he is the main general. You are the deputy general, and you are responsible for the military affairs." Zhang Gui wrote slowly.

Anxun refers to Zhang Gui's eldest son Zhang Anxun. Zhang Gui's father was very knowledgeable and wise, and he was also known as respecting and loving his men. When Zhang Gui became the governor of Liangzhou, Zhang Gui stayed in Luoyang as an official, served as a doctor and a general of cavalry. A few days ago, Zhang Gui intended to recall him, but he had not written to the court yet. Since the Liangzhou army was going to Luoyang, it was the best thing to do with Zhang Gui as the main general. And the deputy general was naturally Song Pei, the first military commander in Liangzhou. With the two as the main general and the deputy general, Song Pei was probably aware of the troops used this time.

Song Pei thought for a moment and said, "Hu'er is brave and needs to be a powerful general as the assistant to match..."
