When a group of people were drinking happily in the big tent, suddenly Gao Shun walked in from outside the big tent, ignoring the others at all, and just came straight to Lu Bu.

"General, it's snowing heavily, and our army's baggage is very low. General Zhang asks the general to return to camp."

"Boping, don't worry, come and have a drink."

Gao Shun did not speak, but just stood in front of Lu Bu. Lu Bu, who had been happy just now, suddenly felt a little angry.

Although Gao Shun didn't talk much and was quite loyal to him, the way he acted made him very unhappy.

But now that the army has collapsed, his power is not as strong as before. Gao Shun is also an old man who has followed him for such a long time, and he has to give Gao Shun face.

Just when Lu Bu wanted to get up and leave, Han Sui stood up with a glass of wine.

Looking at Gao Shun with a smile on his face, Han Sui had naturally seen Gao Shun before.

When Gao Shun's trapped camp charged into battle with the Qiang and Hu mixed troops, the formation made Han Sui feel a little frightened.

"Don't worry, General Gao. I will allocate three thousand stones of military rations to relieve the general's urgent needs."

Han Sui handed the wine to Gao Shun as he spoke, but Gao Shun didn't care at all and insisted on waiting for Lu Bu.

Seeing Gao Shun like this, Han Sui turned around and winked at Yan Xing.

Yan Xing also stood up with a glass of wine.

"General Gao's reputation has been heard even as far away as Xiliang. When I saw the general today, he was indeed extremely majestic. General, please drink this cup..."

Before Yan Xing could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Shun.

"I never drink alcohol, please forgive me."

Seeing that Gao Shun was not getting enough oil and salt, Han Sui could no longer hold the cup in his hand and was about to fall to the ground.

Han Sui suddenly heard the sound of soldiers clashing, and Han Sui quickly held the cup in his hand steady.

When I walked to the tent, I saw a group of capable soldiers standing outside the camp gate, with weapons and armor in hand. Just standing there, there was an inexplicable momentum flowing out.

Han Sui recognized it at a glance. This was Gao Shun's trap.

Seeing that Gao Shun had brought the trapped camp, Han Sui had no choice but to let Lu Bu and Gao Shun leave.

After Lu Bu's Gao Shun walked out of the camp gate, Han Sui became a little angry.

He had been trying so hard to flatter Lu Bu every day, and now he was finally going to succeed, but was thwarted by Gao Shun.

"General."

Yan Xing walked to Han Sui.

"Don't worry, if it doesn't work this time, it will be next time."

After Han Sui calmed down, he noticed that it was snowing.

"If it snows heavily today and the Qiang tribes are affected by this disaster, there will be more looting. Now that the sweet spring has been looted, if you want to get a large amount of supplies, you can only go to Zuofengyi to Chang'an."

Yan Xing nodded, drank the wine glass in his hand, and began to mobilize the troops after walking out of the tent.

Now that it is snowing in Ganquan, tribes far away on the grassland will definitely be affected by the snow disaster.

If we don’t grab some things when we come out this time, what will happen if these Qiang and Hu people rebel?

The Hu people are much more realistic than the Han people. The Hu people don't have the restraints of etiquette, justice and integrity that the Han people have. If I can eat and drink with you, then you are my boss.

After following you for three days and nine meals, I chopped you off with my backhand and then went to your house to steal food.

Therefore, this Qiang and Hu Lord is not an easy job to do.

And the most important thing is that Han Sui has done too many things.

He plundered the Han Dynasty several times, and the Han Dynasty could no longer tolerate him.

He plotted against the local wealthy Ma Tang and betrayed his allies.

By then, even if the Qiang and Hu don't come after him, he will be killed by others.

Therefore, feeding the Qiang and Hu people is also the main thing he, the leader of the Qiang and Hu people, does.

Otherwise, he would not have led the Qiang and Hu people to plunder near Chang'an several times.

The army began to march towards Zuo Fengyi. Although the snow in Yongzhou Chang'an was heavy, it was still much better than on the grassland. It only covered the ankles.

On the pure white snow, the two armies were clearly separated.

Walking in the rear was the Bingzhou Army led by Zhang Yang, while walking in the front was Han Sui's mixed Qiang and Hu troops with poor military discipline.

The closer this Qiang and Hu army got to Han Sui's vicinity, the more organized they became, and the closer they got to the periphery, the more scattered they became.

Some Qiang and Hu people broke away from the army in groups and rushed towards nearby villages.

Soon after he came back cursing, these places had already been taken away by others.

Just when they were about to reach Zuo Fengyi, these Qiang and Hu people suddenly discovered that there was nothing in these villages.

And it didn't look like he had been robbed.

After all, even if the Qiang and Hu people plundered, they would not be able to rob the entire family.

There are really only four walls left among these houses. It seems that the local people evacuated them on their own initiative.

After walking for a while, it turned out to be like this.

Han Sui then understood that these villages should have fled to Chang'an.

Then this will be easy to handle. We only need to conquer Chang'an, and then we will have everything.

Han Sui really didn't believe Chang'an could resist their 150,000-strong army.

Thinking of this, Han Sui ordered his troops to gather together. After explaining the situation, they headed towards Chang'an in a mighty manner.

When the army marched to Gaoling, Han Sui's army still found no trace of the army.

Gaoling is adjacent to Chang'an. If you cross the Wei River from Gaoling, you can directly reach Chang'an.

Looking at Gaoling with almost no people, I originally thought that Gaoling was also a large county and there should be some residual population.

But I didn't expect that Gaoling was also a county, and the evacuation was so decisive. I learned this from the only remaining population in the county.

The people from Gaoling had gone to Chang'an ten days ago.

In other words, the imperial court knew that they were coming. Since it knew that they were coming, it still evacuated the population to Chang'an. This was obviously not to let them snatch it.

Han Sui couldn't help but laugh at the court for being so naive.

If it were him, he would definitely not move the population of Zuo Feng Yi, but let these people be plundered by them, and only guard the Weishui River.

By then, they have almost plundered, and they no longer have any obsession with Chang'an. There are troops guarding the Weishui River, so maybe these Qiang and Hu troops will withdraw.

Now that they have strengthened their walls and cleared the country, this is clearly forcing them to die. Even if they don't want to break Chang'an, they must break it.

Because if they don't break through Chang'an to grab enough food, they Qiang and Hu people will die.

Seeing that the army was already building a pontoon bridge, Han Sui felt reassured.

As long as the pontoon bridge is laid, Chang'an City will be destroyed!

At this moment, Han Sui saw a man and a horse appear from the other side of the river.

When he saw this man, Han Sui's heart skipped a beat. The pontoon bridge had not been laid yet. If the other party made trouble at this time, the pontoon bridge might not be finished in just a few days.

Han Sui had nothing to worry about whether it could be paved well. The Weishui River was now in the dry season. Even if it couldn't be paved here, he could just continue in another place.

If it doesn't work, just build them in several places together. As long as their people can cross the river, the people on the other side are not worth mentioning.

But what made Han Sui a little strange was that the people on the other side didn't stop him.

Instead, he stood on the shore and watched them lay, as if waiting for them to finish.
