Just when Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Li Li sent out their troops, Ma Teng and Han Sui's army had already arrived at Changpingguan, which was fifty miles away from Chang'an, and stationed there.

Knowing that Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition army was stationed in Changpingguan, Guo Yan and others slowly marched towards Changpingguan.

As the 70,000-strong army of Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and Li Li arrived near Changpingguan, they immediately settled on the spot.

At the same time, after Han Sui and Ma Teng learned that Guo Yan had led his troops to arrive, the two of them immediately met and talked.

"General Han, I wonder when the Sergeant Guan you contacted will arrive? With our 40,000 troops, we are probably no match for Guo Yan, and according to my observation, there are at least about 70,000 people in Guo Yan's army. ”

"General Ma, don't be impatient, the troops of the scholars will arrive, and we will wait a few more days for a decisive battle with Guo Yan."

Hearing this, Ma Teng had no choice but to wait.

At this time, Li Ru, the military advisor of Guo Yan's army, came to Guo Yan and said: "General Guo, Ma Teng and Han Sui have come from afar and have few troops, we should fight quickly and decisively attack the Tuo army at this time, otherwise, the logistical pressure of our army will increase dramatically, after all, Chang'an can be regarded as ten rooms and nine empty rooms today." ”

After listening to Li Ru's suggestion, Guo Yan replied: "Wen Xiansheng, of course I know that the logistical pressure is huge, but Ma Teng and Han Sui are hiding in Changping Temple, and if our army rashly attacks, there may be accidents." ”

"General Guo, don't worry, I have a plan to lead Ma Teng and Han Sui to fight."

"What's the plan? Wen Xian gave birth to a quick way. ”

"General Guo, although this Ma Teng and Han Sui have become allies, their gap is large after all, and it is impossible to trust each other in such a short period of time, we only need to use a discordant strategy to force them to come out to fight."

"Wen Xian, then what should we do exactly?"

Li Ru immediately muttered in Guo Yan's ear.

After listening, Guo Yan immediately acted according to Li Ru's wishes.

After nightfall, Guo Yan sent a dead soldier to pretend to be a sergeant of Guan and sent a secret letter to the Ma Teng Ministry.

When Maten learned that someone had come to deliver the letter, he met the messenger despite his doubts.

When Guo Yan's dead soldier saw Ma Teng, he immediately said, "General Han, I have a secret letter from the head of the family here. ”

Then the dead man took out a secret letter from his bosom.

When Zai Ma Teng heard the dead soldier call him General Han, he immediately became suspicious and took the secret letter from the dead man.

After opening the secret letter and reading it, Ma Teng was furious.

Seeing this, the dead man immediately asked: "General Han, are you dissatisfied with my family master's intentions?" ”

Ma Teng laughed a few times after hearing this, and then glared angrily at the dead soldier and said, "Han Sui, the dog thief, dare to bully me like this? ”

As soon as he heard this, the dead man immediately understood that it was time for him to run.

But as soon as the dead man left the camp, he was beheaded by Pound, who was waiting outside the camp.

Immediately after, Pound hurriedly entered the camp and asked Ma Teng.

Ma Teng then informed Pound of the contents of the letter.

After hearing this, Pang De was also indignant and said: "Lord, this Han Sui is really insidious and vicious, I didn't expect him to let the lord send troops and have a crooked idea, should we kill Han Sui now?" ”

"No, now that Guo Yan is eyeing us, we are fighting against Han Sui at this time, so let's write down this account for the time being."

"Lord, then are we going to attack Guo Yan with Han Sui?"

"Fight, why don't you fight? Anyway, Han Sui's private transaction with the scholar doctor has to be after taking Chang'an, we have now reversed positions with Han Sui, and now Han Sui is in the light, and we are in the dark. ”

Later, Marten asked Pound to keep what happened that night a secret.

The next day, when Guo Yan found out that Ma Teng and Han Sui still had not sent troops, he immediately called Li Ru to inquire.

Li Ru immediately explained: "General Guo, don't worry, let's observe for another day or two." ”

Two days later, just when Guo Yan and the others were a little impatient, an army of 10,000 people composed of scholars and doctors rushed to Changpingguan to join forces with Ma Teng and Han Sui.

As the army of scholars and doctors converged, Han Sui immediately gathered everyone to prepare for battle.

When Ma Teng watched Han Sui and the scholars talking happily at the meeting, he always sneered in his heart.

At the same time, when Guo Yan learned that an army of 10,000 people had joined the combined army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, he immediately summoned Li Ru and said to him: "Wen Xiansheng is born, and the combined army of Ma Teng and Han Sui seems to have increased by 10,000 people. ”

"General Guo, I already know about this."

"You got it? How do you know? ”

"Back to General Guo, General Li asked me to keep an eye on the movements of the scholars after he took me in, and I knew before that some of the scholars were secretly colluding with Han Sui, so I asked General Guo to send someone to make a divisive plan."

The listener has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

After Guo Yan heard what Li Ru said, he immediately reacted, didn't he have been under Li Wei's surveillance all along.

At this moment, Guo Yan remembered that Li Dao's official position has always been above him, and he has always been played with by Li Dao, because Li Dao used to be in power with him, but now he is slowly becoming a little bit of Li Dao's subordinates.

Thinking of the imbalance, Guo Yan's heart had the idea of fighting for power and profit, after all, he didn't want to live in the shadow of Li Dao for the rest of his life.

Immediately after, Guo Yan said to Li Ru: "Wen Xiansheng, since you know that the scholars and doctors will come, then we are ready to send troops now!" "After that, Guo Yan ordered Li Li and Fan Chou to reorganize their armies and fight.

It didn't take long for Ma Teng, Han Sui and the combined forces of the scholars to fight, and Guo Yan also took Li Li, Fan Chou and Li Ru out of the camp to line up.

After the two armies finished arraying, Guo Yan walked out and shouted at Ma Teng: "Ma Teng, why did you turn against Han Sui because of General Li's favor? Is that how you repay the favor? ”

"Guo Yan, who in the world doesn't know that you and Li Wei hijacked the son to cause chaos in the government, and now the entire Sanfu region has been harmed by you. Hearing this, Guo Yan was furious.

Immediately after, Guo Yan immediately ordered a charge.

Seeing that Guo Yan's troops raised troops to assault, the armies of Ma Teng, Han Sui and the scholars also rushed up, but their combined forces were clearly divided into three parts, because it was impossible for Ma Teng, Han Sui and the scholars to hand over their troops to others for jurisdiction.

Seeing that the coalition army was divided into three parts, Guo Yan, who was in charge of the Chinese army, immediately laughed.

Soon, the officers and men of the two armies collided head-on and began to fight.

After fighting for a while, the disadvantages of Ma Teng, Han Sui and Shi Dafu's side of not having a unified command were revealed, and the soldiers under their command were constantly crushed by the Xiliang elite, especially the army of Yi Shi Dafu was the most vulnerable, because these soldiers had not undergone much training at all.

After fighting for a while, the soldiers on the Shidafu's side were finally defeated by the Xiliang army.

With one side of the army line defeated, Ma Teng and Han Sui immediately understood that the general trend had turned.

In desperation, Ma Teng and Han Sui both ordered the withdrawal of their troops, because they didn't want to lose too much.

Seeing that Ma Teng and Han Sui led their troops to evacuate, Guo Yan did not order a fierce pursuit, he just let Li Li and Fan Chou chase them for a distance and ordered them to collect their troops and return, because Guo Yan did not want to lose too much.

Since then, Ma Teng and Han Sui have left a total of thousands of corpses before retreating to Liangzhou, as for those rebellious scholars, Guo Yan killed all of them without mercy.

After the victory, Guo Yan also led his troops back to Chang'an City.
