Outside the martial arts city

The battle in Guanzhong has been going on for some time, and not only Chang'an, but also the cities of other counties and counties have closed their gates one after another to prevent disturbances by rebels.

Today's public security in Guanzhong is far less than before, although there are few big warlords like Guo Yan and Ma Teng, but small warlords in various places are endless, and the flow of troops left over from the struggles of these small warlords will attack the city from time to time.

Therefore, the counties of Guanzhong are the most disgusting to these displaced soldiers who were eliminated by the war, and whenever a major war breaks out in Guanzhong, the counties will tacitly close the city gates and stick to the battle.

However, this time, the defeated army did not seem to be the same as before, after they were defeated from Huaili, they rushed all the way to the west, even passing by Wugong City, they did not stop to break through the city, burn and loot.

Just when everyone in Wugong County was in doubt, the nominal Guo Yan imperial army who rushed from Huaili asked the county order to open the city gate and let the soldiers enter.

The army stood outside the martial arts city, and the scribe Li Ru stopped between Guo Yan and Fan Chou, looking at the west uneasily, Guo Yan was a little worried, "Sir, don't we really have to chase Ma Tengjun?" If we let him gain a firm foothold in Yixian, it will be difficult for us to break through again! ”

Gently brushing his beard under his chin, Li Ru's face was indifferent, "Don't worry, if my expectations are correct, Yixian County should not be under Ma Teng's control at this time." If he rushes away, he will inevitably hesitate, and it is two different to attack or not to attack. If I am in a hurry, I think he will not attack Yi County, but go straight to Chen Cang. ”

Stunned, Guo Yan thought for a moment, and then couldn't help squinting his eyes and said softly: "Mr. means that the county town may have been occupied by Liu Fan, and at this time, Ma Teng will go, and there will inevitably be a fight between the two sides." ”

Glancing at him, Li Ru bowed slightly, "Although Liu Fan's son is not very old, he is a little treacherous, if he refuses to defend Yixian, Ma Shoucheng may have to work hard if he wants to take him down." ”

Hearing this, Guo Yan and Fan Chou on both sides nodded in understanding, and they were good at sitting back and watching others fight. Then, the gate of Wugong City opened, and Guo Yan rode his horse forward, leading everyone into the city slowly.

Externally, Li Ru's identity is hidden.

And when Wugong City welcomed Guo Yan and others, ten miles away from Yi County, Ma Teng and Han Sui also received the latest information from Yi County. Liu Fan took advantage of the convenience of taking Ma Chao, and in the early morning yesterday, he opened the gate of Yixian County, and forced the landing of Fu Gan and other officials in the city, and now Yixian County has all been controlled by Liu Fan.

"Bastard!" Suddenly, Ma Teng was really angry, the reason why he worked so hard to drive his troops to Yixian County was because there were still his subordinate officials and a large amount of military resources here, which was enough to supplement him to regroup here and fight a decisive battle with Guo Yan's army.

But he didn't expect that this Liu Fan actually directly seized Yixian County, making him lose his foundation, "What does this Liu Bochang mean!" Do you really want to fight to the death with my Xiliang army? ”

His face was heavy, and Han Sui, who was beside Ma Teng, was also a little dignified at this time. Appreciating Liu Fan's young courage is appreciated, but it is a little wrong to capture the city privately during the Great War and endanger his interests.

His eyes rolled back and forth, counting his breath, Ma Teng still turned his head to look at Han Sui, "Wen Yue, now that Guo Yan's army is no longer chasing, it is better for you and me to join forces to capture Yixian, so that it is good to supplement, otherwise Chen Cang is quite far away from here, and I am afraid that the sons and daughters will not be able to hold on if they run in the past." ”

With an embarrassed face, Han Sui pondered for a long time, did not make a sound, and finally narrowed the corners of his eyes, shook his head and said gloomily: "It's not that Guo Yan can't catch up, but they deliberately want us to attack Yixian, so that they can reap the benefits." ”

"They are behind us, and we have just learned that Yixian has been occupied, how can they know?"

"Have you forgotten what happened to them for half a day?" Faced with Ma Teng's question, Han Sui just replied lightly, and then blocked his words.

At the moment, Ma Teng's expression was solemn. After Han Sui's reminder, he reminded him of the horror of Huaili City, originally they thought that after the army was stationed in Huaili, they would be able to have a short period of recuperation, but they didn't want to, just for half a day, the Huaili Hao clan, who had been trembling against them, seemed to be burdened with the disaster of extermination, and attacked them madly.

In order to prevent greater losses, Ma Teng Han Sui could only withdraw from Huaili City overnight, and Ma Teng still remembered the three-sided pursuit when he withdrew from Huaili City that night.

There is a terrifying presence in Guo Yan's army.

After being silent for a long time, Ma Teng looked at Han Sui again, "Then what do you say we should do?" ”

"Cross Yixian and continue west!"

"Continue west!" His eyes were wide open, and Ma Teng was a little incomprehensible.

"Not bad!" Nodding calmly, Han Sui's eyes were deep, "The reason why they let us and others come to Yixian is that they have the intention of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, let me wait to attack Yixian, and after we and the other lost soldiers will take the broken Yixian, they will then cover up and kill, and we will definitely be defeated." ”

Glancing at Ma Teng, who had a gloomy face, Han Sui continued, "Therefore, if we don't want to be used by him, we will first pretend to cross Yixian and go to Chencang in the west, at that time, if they want to continue the pursuit, they will have to pull out the rivet of Yixian by themselves, otherwise they don't know if this Yixian County will have a secret agreement with us." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ma Teng's eyes flickered, and he was silent for a long time, but finally agreed to Han Sui's proposal.

Ma Teng Han then discussed outside the city, and the people in Yixian County did not know, and at this time, in the county temple of Yixian County, everyone was also frowning, and their faces were unpredictable.

Sitting behind the first case, Liu Fan's eyes swept over the demeanor of everyone in the hall, and finally coughed lightly, "Filial piety is just a language, Ma Teng Han Sui will not necessarily attack Yixian, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Huang and Pang De glanced at each other, and although they each frowned, they remained silent.

In the preparation court meeting just now, the two of them reported to Liu Fan everything they were actively preparing for. It's just that when it was Fazheng's turn, he said that Han Sui would not necessarily let Ma Teng attack Yixian.

Then, from Han Sui's own interests, Fa Zheng analyzed the hostile relationship between them and Guo Yan's army, and analyzed that Ma Teng might lead the army across Yixian. Induce Guo's army to arrive in Yixian, and then the two sides will start a decisive battle near Chencang.

In this way, all the strategies they were originally prepared to deal with Ma Teng could be in vain, but Fa Zheng's analysis seemed to be very reasonable, so for a while, the two of them didn't know where to start refuting.

As for Liu Fan, he was not noncommittal about Fa Zheng's analysis, but looked at him and continued to ask: "Then filial piety can have a countermeasure?" ”

With a faint smile on his face, Fa Zheng seemed to have expected this question, and whispered faintly at the moment: "There is a plan, the golden cicada is out of its shell!" ”
