Six hundred and seventy-six Xiahou Yuan showed a meaningful smile

When Han Sui decided to let go of the Longdi defense line, it was mid-to-late April of the first year of Jian'an.

Three days later, Cao Ren learned that Zhang Ji had brought him back.

"Hahahahaha! The defense line that Emperor Guangwu only passed in four years, my generation can pass through it in just over a month, and Wei Gong has no last resort! Hahahaha! ”

When Cao Ren learned that Han Sui had decided to let go of the Longdi defense line and let him enter Hanyang County to assist in the battle, he was immediately overjoyed and immediately ordered the army to be reorganized.

At this time, 20,000 of the 30,000 soldiers who repaired Tongguan had been secretly transferred back by Cao Ren, and they had already returned to the Chang'an camp to standby.

Cao Ren immediately mobilized the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Chang'an battalion and prepared to fight.

Cao Ren took himself as the main commander, and ordered Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan to be the auxiliary, and the three of them marched together, crossed Longdi, joined forces with Han Sui, and joined forces in Ji County.

The time they agreed on was May 15, but on the ninth day of the fifth month, someone under Han Sui's command was not strict and leaked the news to let Ma Teng know that Han Sui planned to start an army.

At that time, he didn't know that Han Sui was in trouble because he called Cao Ren to help, and in his mind, Han Sui would not let go of the Longdi defense line and let the Wei army come in no matter what.

So he thought that Han Sui wanted to fight the trapped beasts, so he ordered his son Ma Chao to lead 20,000 troops to crusade against Han Sui.

"Han Wenyue thought about it, he saw what I wanted to do, and he was going to have a battle of trapped beasts, thinking that it would be so easy to break the net with me? I'm not going to let him get his way. ”

Ma Teng said confidently.

Ma Chao got the order, was overjoyed, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and took his subordinate general Pang De and his younger brother Ma Tiema Xiu to rush to Ji County together.

Along the way, Ma Chao's troops were sharp, and successively broke through the three counties of Ayang, Chengji and Xianqin, and caught Han Sui off guard and could not resist, and a small number of troops quickly retreated.

Finally, Han Sui sorted out a troop and handed it over to Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying to lead to meet Ma Chao, and Xianqin County was also lost.

Fortunately, it was May 15, Cao Ren led 30,000 troops to pass through the Longdi defense line safely under the response of Han Sui's son, and then heard the news that Ma Chao led his troops to attack Han Sui and Han Sui was defeated, so he decisively led the army to Ji County to help.

Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying led their troops to fortify on the south bank of Weishui, and lined up on the north bank of Weishui to resist Ma Chao's army.

At that time, Ma Chao won consecutive battles, not only Ma Chao, but also Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were a little proud.

So each of these two led a cavalry as the vanguard to rush forward, thinking of directly defeating Yan Xing, beheading Yan Xing to avenge his brother.

As a result, the two collided head-on with the armies of Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing led the army to defeat Ma Chao's vanguard Ma Tie, and Cheng Gongying defeated Ma Xiu and defeated the two.

This victory slightly restrained Ma Chao's advance and stabilized the battle line on the north bank of Weishui.

Later, Ma Chao personally arrived, annoyed by the fact that Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were defeated, angrily reprimanded the two younger brothers, told them to retreat, and then personally led the troops forward.

Ma Chao commanded nearly 20,000 troops, and the main force was intact, while Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying only had a total of 5,000 people, so the two did not like to fight, and immediately crossed the water and returned to the south to fortify on the south bank.

Ma Chao sent people to force the Weishui several times but was repelled by Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying, and the angry Ma Chao scolded Yan Xing on the north bank, roaring angrily for Yan Xing to come to the north bank to fight for life.

Yan Xingcai ignored him and continued to defend the defensive line, pinning Ma Chao to the north bank of Weishui and making it difficult to cross, so as to buy time.

When Yan Xing and Ma Chao were fighting, Cao Ren had already led the army to gallop in Ji County, the vanguard Xiahou Yuan was faster, Xiahou Yuan led the cavalry to gallop forward, and Cao Ren and Guan Yu rushed to the city of Ji County in a day and a half, and just ran into Ma Chao's siege.

So Xiahou Yuan led a charge to repel Ma Chao's siege troops, and Han Sui in the city was overjoyed, and immediately opened the city to meet Xiahou Yuan, and welcomed Xiahou Yuan's vanguard force of 3,000 people.

Ma Chao had forcibly crossed Weishui seven times before, and Yan Xing and Cheng Gongying's troops suffered serious losses, and finally they could not hold on and were forced to retreat, and now they could only retreat to Jixian County.

Han Sui had no choice but to personally put on his helmet and armor to go to the city to command the defense of the city, Ma Chao sent people under the city to scold Han Sui for treachery, conspiracy to rebel, is a rebellious thief, he Ma Chao personally led the army of the Son of Heaven to conscript Han Sui is in accordance with the will of heaven, so that Han Sui immediately opened the city and surrendered.

Han Sui's face flushed with anger, thinking that Ma Chao learned this set very quickly, so he immediately gave full play to his advantages in mouth cannon and sprayed at Ma Chao, spraying Ma Chao into a rebellion.

Han Sui scolded Ma Chao and Ma Teng for attacking him first, with bad intentions, clearly wanting to annex him, they were the thieves, and he was Han's loyal minister, Guo Peng already knew all this, and said that Guo Peng had sent a large army to crusade against Ma Chao, so that Ma Chao could be captured as soon as possible.

Where did Ma Chao believe Han Sui's words, and immediately commanded the army to attack the city, Han Sui immediately fought back, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely.

And at this time, Xiahou Yuan arrived, and a charge broke up the army of Ma Chao's younger brother Ma Xiu and rushed into the city.

Subsequently, Xiahou Yuan erected the banner of Xiahou, the general of the Empress of Wei, in the city, and also erected the military flag of the Wei army, Xiahou Yuan personally went to the city to warn Ma Chao, and asked Ma Chao to stop the army immediately, otherwise once the soldiers of the Duke of Wei arrived, he would not be able to eat and walk around.

Ma Chao looked at the banner in the city and muttered in his heart.

Is Wei Jun really here?

Is Xiahou Yuan really here?

Are you kidding?

Han Sui colluded with Wei Jun to put them in Liangzhou?

It's almost impossible in terms of time and possibility.

Ma Chao didn't think that such a thing would happen at all, so he basically didn't believe it, and continued to send troops to attack, but was met with strong resistance from the army in the city, and four consecutive sieges were repulsed.

Ma Chao continued to mumble in his heart, so he sent Ma Tie to lead his troops in the direction of Longdi, intending to take Longdi down, so that it could be considered safe.

At this time, Ma Chao's subordinate Pang De came to dissuade him.

"Looking at the dress style and banner of that army, how is it not similar to the soldiers of Wei Gong before it? The subordinates are worried that this is really Wei Gong's soldiers, general, let's withdraw our troops first, Han Wenyue really called Wei Gong's soldiers if he didn't get it, and we continued to attack, just against Wei Gong. ”

Ma Chao frowned and immediately shook his head.

"No, I don't believe it, how could Han Sui call Guo Peng's soldiers? Would he do such a stupid thing? We Liangzhou people can fight as much as we want, what is it to bring Guo Zifeng in? He's coming, will he still go? ”

Ma Chao was sober for a rare time at this time, and felt that Han Sui would not be so stupid.

Originally, Han Sui would not be so stupid, but who let the Ma family's father and son oppress him too much, so that his survival instinct surged up, and once the survival instinct occupies the mainstream, the depth of thought will be gone.

Han Sui wants to live, what else can't he do?

Ma Chao didn't believe it and wanted to send troops to capture Longdi, but Pang De insisted that the troops should be withdrawn now, and even if they didn't withdraw the troops, they should not rashly send Ma Tie over, they should first send someone to investigate the situation, find out what happened, and then send troops not too late.

Ma Chao didn't listen to Pound, and asked Pound to continue to lead the troops to attack the city, and wait for news in the barracks himself.

As a result, I really waited for the news.

Not good news, of course, but bad news.

The 3,000 troops that Ma Tie led to capture Longdi were all wiped out, and more than a dozen of them were released by the Wei army to report the news.

Ma Tie led the troops over the first day, and the next day at dawn these dozen people came back, and the sobbing report said that Ma Tie was beheaded by Wei General Guan Yu, and the whole army was annihilated.

Then the Wei army was only more than two hours away from Ji County, and it was about to arrive, so Ma Chao quickly withdrew his troops.

Ma Chao's head went blank as soon as he buzzed, Pang De was taken aback, and Ma Xiu fell directly to the ground and fainted.

This news was so shocking that Ma Chao reacted after a while, but he was a little out of order, gritting his teeth and hating Wei Jun, but he didn't dare to confront each other head-on, and when he was hesitating, Pang De stood up.

"General, it's better to withdraw immediately, we can't continue to stay here, once the army of Duke Wei rushes over, we won't be able to leave!"

Pound shouted and woke Ma Chao up, and Ma Chao immediately realized that what Pound said was right, so he nodded again and again.

"Right...... Right! Withdraw troops! Withdraw troops! ”

Ma Chao finally gave the order to retreat, and the Liangzhou soldiers who were in turmoil retreated in a swarm and retreated to Longxi County, and Han Sui in the city was greatly relieved.

"Ma Chao's little thief is gone, it seems that General Cao's army has arrived, great, really good! General Xiahou, this time Han was able to tide over the difficulties, it all depends on General Cao and General Xiahou, this time it is done, Han will be grateful! ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at Han Sui and showed a meaningful smile.

"Hahaha, then thank you Han Envoy."

"Envoy or something...... Hahaha! General Xiahou has an overreputation! ”

Han Sui's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming: "If Duke Wei belongs to Han, Han will definitely guard Liangzhou for Duke Wei, and he will definitely not betray Duke Wei like the father and son of the Ma family!" ”

Xiahou Yuan continued to laugh and did not speak.

Before sending troops, Cao Ren had already told him and Guan Yu the goal of this operation.

Guo Pengcai didn't believe in Han Sui, just like Guo Peng didn't believe in Ma Teng and Ma Chao, just to take advantage of the contradictions between them to make them kill each other and create an opportunity for the Wei army to fight.

This operation was very smooth, and the Wei army easily crossed the Longdi that Emperor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu had crossed over in four years, and the elimination of the Liangzhou separatist forces was in front of them, and their great achievements were also in front of them.

Guo Pengke has absolutely no intention of stopping the war.

In their opinion, Guo Peng is an energetic and somewhat perverted monarch, very strong in battle, just like his fertility, a powerful man who is admired by the whole Wei army.

Guo Peng wants to stop fighting and enjoy power?

When they heard this, Guan Yu and Xiahou Yuan wanted to laugh.

They both belong to the Yuancong group, and to this day, they all believe that the goal of the Guo Wei group is to build a powerful empire that will not be lost to the Han, so that they will not simply start to enjoy power and glory by separating the party, which is definitely not the case.

You are still sleeping beside you, where is our glory?!

Xiahou Yuan looked at Han Sui as if he was looking at his prey.

However, Han Sui himself didn't count 13 at all, and he didn't recognize that his behavior was to open the door and steal, that is, to lure the wolf into the house.

Guo someone's army is coming easily, go?

Inexistent.
