In order to make the generals more loyal to serve him and conquer the world, Xu Xian began to enfeoff the four princes and kings who led the army.
Pu San Zhongyi was the king of Liang, Tu Dan Hexi was the king of Qin, Xin Qiji was the king of Zhou, and Yue Lin was the king of Han.
Later, Lu You was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Left, Han Yanzhi was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Right, Yang Polu was appointed as the leader of the Forbidden Army, and so on.
After forming this team, Xu Xian officially began to personally lead the army to attack Guanzhong.
Tongguan has been known as the first pass in the world since the Qin and Han Dynasties.
"General Qi!"
"Not far ahead, a large number of Ming troops are approaching our Tongguan!"
A spy was urgently reporting to the Tongguan gatekeeper that the evacuation was missing.
"The Ming army came to invade Tongguan?"
"How many of them are here?"
"Who is the general?"
If it's missing, please ask immediately.
"I heard that their leading generals are King Tudan Hexi of Qin and King Yuelin of Han. The total strength of the two armies is a full 150,000!"
The spy replied.
"What?"
"The King of Qin Tu Dan is happy?"
"When did Tu Dan Hexi become King of Qin?"
"I'm afraid this 150,000-strong army is not that easy to deal with!"
"Come here, hurry up and send a message to General Zhang Zhongyan, asking him to come to Tongguan for support as soon as possible!"
Seeing that the situation was urgent, he quickly went to ask for reinforcements.
Jingzhao Mansion.
"General Zhang, urgent report from Tongguan!"
"Urgent report!"
A messenger hurriedly delivered an urgent military message to Zhang Zhongyan.
"This...this disciple Dan Hexi actually betrayed his trust and came to seize our Guanzhong!"
"Okay, I didn't expect that my former partner would become my opponent today. I, Zhang Zhongyan, will let you see my true strength!"
After Zhang Zhongyan read the letter, he spoke angrily.
After all, Zhang Zhongyan and Tu Dan Hexi were stationed in Guanzhong all year round and often led troops together to fight against the Song Dynasty and the nearby Tubo tribes. Their relationship was once like brothers.
So Zhang Zhongyan immediately led 70,000 troops and rushed to Tongguan.
Ten miles east of Tongguan.
"King Qin, I heard that you are very familiar with Zhang Zhongyan who came to fight with us this time, right?"
King Yuelin of Han is now congratulating himself on King Tushan of Qin, and they are discussing in the army.
"is not that right?"
"I have cooperated with the man surnamed Zhang in Guanzhong for more than ten years. How can I not be familiar with it?"
"Even if it has slept with several women, I, Tu Dan Hexi, can clearly tell!"
Tu Dan responded happily.
"That's it!"
"Since you are familiar with each other!"
"Then do you know what its shortcomings are?"
Yue Lin asked.
"Zhang Zhongyan has many shortcomings. Not only is he greedy for women, but he also likes to think of himself as a gentleman, pretentious, and fight against injustice!"
"It was originally a general of the Song people. Later, it surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and then returned to the Song Dynasty. After the Song and Jin Dynasties negotiated peace twenty years ago, it returned to the Jin Kingdom again!"
"So this person is a man of two ends, who only cares about his own utilitarianism!"
Tu Dan Hexi introduced it to Yue Lin.
"That's it!"
"Since it can betray the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom several times, it must be able to betray Wanyan Yong now, right?"
"If we want to surrender it, is there any way?"
Yue Lin followed Xu Xian and learned a lot.
"Recruit Zhang Zhongyan?"
"This is a good idea, but I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
"After all, this Zhongyan is a man who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits!"
"Unless we can really defeat it and let it know our strength, we can possibly surrender it!"
Tu Dan Hexi said.
"That's it!"
"Is there any way you can lure it out of Tongguan to fight?"
Yue Lin asked.
"no problem!"
"of course!"
"But King Han, when do you want me to lure it out of Tongguan to fight with us?"
Tu Dan responded happily.
"Just tomorrow!"
"feasible?"
Yue Lin continued to ask.
"of course!"
Tudan Hexi agreed.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
"Zhang Zhongyan!"
"Why are you like a coward? You came to Tongguan and didn't come out of the city to say hello to me, my brother?"
Tu Danhexi shouted towards the gate tower of Tongguan.
"Thank you for having the nerve to call me brother!"
"You have actually taken refuge with the Song people now. I think you are like this because you are desperate?"
"If you are willing to surrender to our new emperor in Yanjing, I believe that the new emperor will not treat you badly!"
Zhang Zhongyan also shouted from the top of the Guan Tower towards where Tu Dan Hexi was.
"If I hadn't taken care of my brotherly relationship with you, I would have captured Tongguan long ago. Do you really think that Tongguan can stop my Tudan Hexi?"
Tu Dan responded happily.
"Yeah?"
"Then you come to attack, why bother grinding there?"
Zhang Zhongyan seemed to deliberately want to anger Tu Dan Hexi.
"Why should I attack Tongguan?"
"After all, you are above Tongguan and you are resisting danger. For us, you are going to die!"
"So for the sake of fairness, we can make an appointment at a place outside the customs. You can choose it. Then we can have a good fight. What do you think?"
Of course Tu Dan Hexi wanted to trick Zhang Zhongyan out of seclusion.
"It's not impossible. Except for your troops who came to fight me, everyone else has to retreat thirty miles. Then I can come out and fight you!"
Zhang Zhongyan responded.
"Also, this is what you said."
Of course, what Tu Dan Hexi wants is this result.
"As a gentleman, a horse cannot be chased. As long as you dare to ask everyone else to retreat thirty miles together, I will leave the city immediately!"
Zhang Zhongyan naturally wanted the Ming army to retreat.
"good!"
"Then it's settled. Tomorrow I'll have people retreat thirty miles and leave an army here to fight with you. Do you think that's okay?"
Tu Dan Hexi asked loudly again.
"no problem!"
"Okay, let's see you tomorrow!"
After Zhang Zhongyan finished speaking, he hurried back to prepare.
"King Qin!"
"How do you plan to deal with that middle edge tomorrow?"
After returning to the military camp, Yue Lin first asked Zhang Zhongyan.
"Of course I already have a clever plan for this matter. Just wait and see, King Han!"
Tudan Hexi seems to be ready.
On the second day, after most of the Ming army retreated thirty miles, Zhang Zhongyan led his troops out of the pass.
"how?"
"Tu Dan Hexi, where is your army?"
Zhang Zhongyan saw Tu Dan Hexi not far away at this time, but he was alone.
"Didn't you tell all my troops to retreat?"
"Since you want to challenge me, just come. I'm not someone to be bullied if I'm alone!"
Tu Dan Hexi responded.
"All right!"
"Since you want to fight our army alone, I, the general, cannot ignore the feelings of my old friends and bully the few with more!"
"Then let me, Zhang Zhongyan, fight you single-handedly!"
Zhang Zhongyan saw that Tu Dan Hexi was alone, so he rode a horse and rushed towards Tu Dan Hexi with a big sword on his shoulder.
"good!"
"Zhang Zhongyan, you are indeed loyal!"
"Then let's compete today to see who is the real king of Guanzhong!"
Tu Dan Hexi also came over immediately.
Afterwards, the two men immediately dueled together.
