Chapter 82: Ma Shiying responded

"It's coming so fast." Ma Shiying was taken aback, and then sneered and said: "A thief from a mere son-in-law, looks down on me Ma Shiying? I don't go to you, you come to me. ”

"Come on, beat the drums and gather the generals." Ma Shiying shouted.

"Yes." Then the thundering drums came to mind.

The voice came from afar.

Where the small city of Xiayi is surrounded by Ma Shiying at this moment, from the top of the city wall, any corner looks outside, and the first thing you see is the long fence far below the city wall.

This long fence with a height of more than one foot is an insurmountable natural danger in the city.

"What's going on out there?" Yuan Shizhong woke up suddenly.

If Zhang Xuan saw Yuan Shizhong at this time, he probably couldn't help Yuan Shizhong.

Yuan Shizhong was a lot haggard.

In fact, the food in Xiayi City is enough to support it so far.

But the most important thing in defending the city is not food, but faith.

Before the construction of the city, Changwei could still communicate with the outside world occasionally, but after Changwei was established, there was little news.

And the last news Yuan Shizhong received was nothing else, it was the news that Cao Ying and Chuang Ying had turned their faces.

This news made Yuan Shizhong burn in the fifth place. Don't dare to reveal half a point, what he said below is always that reinforcements are coming.

But whether there are any reinforcements and how many reinforcements, although Cao Ying has always said that troops will be sent in April. How much can this promise be trusted, Yuan Shizhong doesn't know.

Yuan Shizhong did not think about surrendering.

It's just that Liu Chao's fate gave Yuan Shizhong a big wake-up call, and he would rather grit his teeth and hold on for a while. Wait for reinforcements from the Cao battalion. Until the last moment, he did not dare and was unwilling to surrender.

Because of the treacherous war, Yuan Shizhong has been living on top of the city tower, so as soon as he thought of the rumbling drums on Ma Shiying's side, Yuan Shizhong immediately heard it.

But no one can tell Yuan Shizhong about this problem.

"The order is to go down, and the heads of the cities will pay close attention to the situation outside, and if the situation changes, they will immediately report it to me." Yuan Shizhong pondered for a while and said, "Also, let everyone cheer up." ”

"Maybe reinforcements have arrived." Yuan Shi said secretly in the center. But I'm not sure.

One mile south of Xiayi City, in Ma Shiying's camp.

The "rumble" of the drum stopped abruptly.

But in everyone's ears, there seemed to be an echo.

"Lord Ma, the governor of Fengyang, has arrived." There was a long sign up.

Ma Shiying was wearing a big red official uniform, and sat down in the middle of the big tent with official steps.

His son, Ma Luan, stood behind him, pressing his sword.

As soon as he sat down, all the generals below knelt down in unison and shouted, "Meet Master Ma." ”

"Get up." Ma Shiying went straight to the point and said: "Zhang Xuan, Zhang Pingzhi, who has confessed?" ”

"Is what the lord said about Cao Cao's son-in-law?" Liu Zeqing gritted his teeth and said: "The last general once dealt with this thief, and when the last general crossed the river from Hebei to Zhujia Town, it was he and the Yuan thief who attacked me, how could the last general not remember." ”

"Oh." Ma Shiying smiled slightly, he didn't know that he had an old acquaintance of Zhang Xuan under his command.

In fact, what he didn't know was not one person who had fought with Zhang Xuan, but two people, and Jin Shenghuan had also fought with Zhang Xuan.

However, Jin Shenghuan is Zuo Liangyu's person, and Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and even Yongwei Battalion, Ma Shiying are not all the way.

As far as Jin Shenghuan himself is concerned, he has long wanted to go back. Zuo Liangyu also wrote many times to urge. It's just that the official level crushed people to death, and Ma Shiying pressed them and didn't let them go. And Jin Shenghuan inevitably didn't have some careful thoughts in his heart. And so I stayed.

Even if you stay, you still want to preserve your strength, and many things are just a cold look.

"How is this Zhang Xuan's combat power?" Ma Shiying asked.

"But Er'er, Ido is just winning." Liu Zeqing said proudly.

Jin Shenghuan felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still remembered Zhang Xuan's decisive attack in the south of Linying City.

His feeling about Zhang Xuan's department is that although the number of people is small, it is a hard bone.

Really speaking, Liu Zeqing has never fought with Zhang Xuan's subordinates, but no matter what, Liu Zeqing's battle to cross the river was a defeat and a defeat with heavy losses.

Liu Zeqing naturally wanted to talk about the enemy as much as possible, so as to prove his non-war crimes.

After a long time, Liu Zeqing himself felt that it must be Yuan Shizhong and Zhang Xuan who joined forces to besiege him, otherwise how could he be defeated.

"Zhang Xuan is here. Now it's on the west side of the Wenjiaji. It was blocked by the water. Ma Shiying said: "Just a small thief, bold, generals, who is willing to capture this person." ”

"The last will go." Liu Zeqing said: "Please also ask for your permission, let the last general settle old accounts with Zhang Xuan." ”

"Mr. Liu has this intention, how can this official not allow it?" Ma Shiying said: "But this thief is stubborn, and the general must also be careful." Obey the orders of the king's governor. ”

"Yes." Liu Zeqing agreed. I don't know if I've listened to it.

The siege of the city requires troops, even if there is a ready-made long siege, it is the same, Ma Shiying estimates that the troops he can draw out are only more than 10,000 troops, that is, the current strength of Liu Zeqing's department.

"There are more than 10,000 people under Wang Han's command, plus more than 10,000 under Liu Zeqing's department, there are more than 20,000 people in total, twice as many as the enemy, even if you can't take Zhang Xuan, there should be no problem in dragging Zhang Xuan." Ma Shiying said secretly in his heart.

He immediately adjusted his subordinates and asked Liu Zeqing to pull out his subordinates.

It's not just a sentence. After being busy with these, it is estimated that it is getting late, and

No matter what Wang Han said, there were more than 10,000 people under his command, and it was easy to hold on for a few days. So Liu Zeqing decided to send troops tomorrow.

After Ma Shiying arranged the matter, he immediately wrote a warrant and sent someone to pass it to Huang Degong.

There is nothing else in this warrant, that is, Huang Degong was ordered to go west from Yongcheng and return to the back of Zhang Xuan, Ma Shiying wanted to attack back and forth, and take Zhang Xuan down in one fell swoop with three times the force.

Even if you can't get it, you have to run away and make up another big victory for your record.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is evening.

At this time, Liu Zeqing sorted out everything and waited for the troops to be dispatched tomorrow. And in one place, there are also many people, all of whom have sorted out everything and are waiting for the troops.

It is in the northeast of Wenjiaji, that is, in the small village next to the official road from Guide to Yongcheng.

It's as quiet as death at the moment.

Nothing.

It is not surprising that such villages are in the land of Henan now, and I don't know how many there are.

However, if someone enters the village and takes a look, they will be surprised.

Thousands of people are resting in the middle of the village.

Thousands of centaurs were crowded from one to another, and the horses were all lying on their knees, while a soldier slept on his horse with his saddle on his side.

Except for a dozen or so sentrymen, almost no one was awake.

It has to be said that they are too tired.

They are the Yang Rope Ancestor Division.

In order not to be discovered by the officers and soldiers, they walked day and night, and they could not light a fire, so they all drank cold water and gnawed dry food. You can't take the big road, you can only take the small road. And to go around the big bend, in these few days, the journey of Yang Shenzu's department is at least seven or eight hundred miles away, and it is one thousand miles smaller.

If it weren't for the chaos in Henan for several years, it would have been sparsely populated, and the government's control over the lower levels would be insufficient, and thousands of people would have crossed the border without the government noticing.

In other words, it is not unnoticed, after all, thousands of cavalry, not hundreds of cavalry, how can the traces left by them not be discovered. However, the Ming court almost completely lost control of Henan.

It will take time to find the news of the brigade and report it to Wang Han layer by layer.

Zhang Xuan also walked through this area, and he knew too well what the situation was in this area.

Only if you go fast, the news is that you can't catch up with Yang Shenzu's speed.

However, it is not without the danger of leakage, and the most dangerous thing is that now, no matter how incompetent the officers and soldiers are, they are stationed in one place, and they have to stay overnight all around.

"Today is April 15th." Yang Shenzu raised his arms, he couldn't sleep a little. "Today is the agreed time, but I don't know if Zhang Xuan is reliable or not, and how is he doing now."

Yang Shenzu didn't have an answer, in this kind of secret march, it was impossible for him to keep in touch with Zhang Xuan, so he simply got up and took a look at the situation of the soldiers under his command.
