In fact, five days ago, Li Ru received a report from Chang'an that Ma Tenghan had tens of thousands of troops and took Chang'an in only two days.

Li Dao was killed, and now Ma Teng's army has gone to the east of the river.

It turned out that there were only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Chang'an City. Li Dao originally had 20,000 or 30,000 men under his command, but Chang'an was short of food, so Li Dao had to scatter these 20,000 or 30,000 horses in the surrounding counties of Chang'an.

Ma Teng took Ma Chao as the vanguard and sent cavalry to suddenly enter Chang'an, and Li Wei didn't have time to transfer troops to let Ma Chao surround Chang'an. If the soldiers defending the city hadn't discovered it quickly and closed the city gate, Ma Chao would have entered the city directly.

And the intelligence officers arranged by Zhang Jie in Chang'an lived in the city, and they couldn't get out because the city gate was closed. I can only release carrier pigeons while waiting for the city gate to open.

But somehow, the carrier pigeon didn't fly to Luoyang at all.

Ma Chao surrounded Chang'an City on the one hand, and waited for the large army behind. When Han Sui Ma Teng's army arrived, he first surrounded Chang'an and planned to attack the city. But Chang'an City is high and deep, and it is not easy to attack.

Han Sui's original name was Han Yue (Zi Wen Sui), and he was later wanted by the imperial court and changed his name to Sui. (Word Contract)

Han Sui said: Chang'an City is too difficult to attack, let's better let Li Dao surrender. Or let him run away and break through! Let's force him out of the city.

The next day, nearly 80,000 troops came to Chang'an City, Li Dao was frightened, all these years in Chang'an was happy and happy, he had already lost his fighting spirit, and he was afraid of death. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Chang'an.

Seeing that Ma Tengwei was missing one, he thought that Ma Teng just wanted Chang'an, so he simply gave up Chang'an and ran away with his family.

When Li Wei fled from the north gate with 5,000 soldiers and horses and his family, he met Han Sui's general Yan Xing leading troops to ambush for a long time not long after leaving the city.

Li Dao just wanted to run for his life, and he didn't have the courage to fight at all. Let Yan Xing catch up quickly, with a knife and two sections. All the family captives were killed, and not a single one was left.

As soon as Li Dao died, Ma Tenghan entered Chang'an. For a while, Chang'an City was jumping again, and everyone was in danger. But although Chang'an City is large, it does not have much population. Even if you rob it, there's nothing to grab it.

When Chang'an City was broken, Ma Teng did not embarrass the people in the city, and Zhang Jie's intelligence officers saw the city gate open. Quickly report to Luoyang.

Han Sui said: Brother Shoucheng (Ma Tengzi), now we have a lot of soldiers and horses, and Chang'an is short of food, so it seems that we can't stay for a long time!

Wen Yue is right, the people of Chang'an have been persecuted by Li Dao for a long time! And the people of the city had no food left. We can't stay here for long.

It's just that the brothers came to Chang'an from Yongliang, the road is far away, and the journey is fortunate, so they have to let the brothers rest for a few days, right? Ma Teng said.

Well, what my brother said is also true, why don't we let the brothers rest in Chang'an for two days? Go directly to Luoyang in two days!

Zhang Jie's army is now in Xuzhou, and Luoyang is empty. If you don't send troops quickly, you may give Zhang Jie time to transfer troops to help. So you can only rest for a maximum of two days. Han Sui said.

Ma Tengdao: Good! Just according to the words of the virtuous brother. Two days later, I went to Luoyang. Just go that way?

Han Sui said: Take Tongguan, pass Hongnong, Mianchi, and go to Luoyang this road is the closest. But it has to pass through Hangu Pass (Hangu Pass in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Xin'an County). Zhang Jie has soldiers and horses stationed in Hangu Pass, and I am afraid it will be difficult to pass for a while! It is better to cross the river to the north and then pass through the east of the river, and then cross the river to Luoyang in Mengjin. In this way, Hangu Pass was avoided. It's just a little bit farther.

Ma Tengdao: If you don't divide the soldiers into two roads, go all the way to Hanguguan and go all the way to Hedong. By taking the road of Hangu Pass, you can send a partial division. The main force goes to the east of the river. In this way, as long as a group of men and horses arrive in Luoyang first, they can seize the front of Zhang Jie's reinforcements and control Luoyang. It would be better if Zhang Jie's family could be controlled.

Good! Then it's decided.

Two days later, Ma Teng left his second son, Ma Xiu, with 3,000 soldiers and horses to take care of Chang'an.

And Han Sui couldn't believe it, and Ma Teng also sent his subordinate Yang Qiu to take 3,000 people to stay in Chang'an.

The two combined, and Han Sui sent Cheng Yi, played with horses, and led 20,000 soldiers to Luoyang on the road of Hanguguan.

And Ma Teng Han Sui personally led the remaining main force of more than 50,000 people to the road to Hedong.

A few days later, when Ma Teng, Han Sui's soldiers and horses entered Hedong. Yang Feng, the Taishou of Hedong, was also taken aback. In fact, Yang Feng also served as a general of the chariot cavalry, and then returned to Hedong after feeling bored in Luoyang. In history, he helped Lu Bu beat Liu Bei and let Liu Bei trap him.

Hedong Qunzhi is located in Anyi (now Xia County, Shanxi), and Hedong is a large county with 20 counties.

Yang Feng hurriedly summoned people to discuss what to do. Yang Feng's confidant, who is also his brother Yang Bindao: Eldest brother, Ma Teng's army of more than 50,000 came to Hedong, and the younger brother thought that Ma Teng's purpose was not Hedong, but Luoyang.

Yang Fengdao: How can you see it?

Yang Bin said: Ma Teng Han Sui just took Chang'an and came to Hedong non-stop, which shows that he is in a hurry. If he wants to occupy Hedong so urgently, what is he doing. He should have known that there were not many soldiers in Hedong. It's okay to be a few days late.

But when he entered Hedong, he did not attack the city, and all the way to the east, he must have gone to Luoyang.

Big brother, Zhang Jie's army is now in Xuzhou! Luoyang was very empty. Ma Teng is so eager to march in, he must be hoping to rush before Zhang Jie returns. Take Luoyang.

Yang Feng nodded, you're right, but what should we do?

Yang Bin said: Then it depends on whether the eldest brother is optimistic about Ma Teng or Zhang Jie?

What do you mean? Be clear. Yang Fengdao.

If the eldest brother thinks that Ma Teng can beat Zhang Jie, or can replace Zhang Jie and pacify the Central Plains. Then the eldest brother will fully support Ma Teng, and can even join Ma Teng to attack Zhang Jie together.

You fart, just rely on Ma Teng's tens of thousands of people, and secretly attack Luoyang to defeat Zhang Jie? You've drunk too much! Yang Feng scolded.

Yang Bin smiled: Hehe, since the eldest brother is not optimistic about Ma Teng, why not help Zhang Jie? Last time Xu Huang's incident made Zhang Jie owe you a favor, why not let Zhang Jie owe you again?

But I can't stop Ma Teng's Xiliang cavalry with this little bit of soldiers and horses. Yang Fengdao.

Big brother doesn't need to send troops to help Zhang Jie!

First, the eldest brother ordered the counties to guard the city and not to help Ma Teng.

Second, immediately send someone to Luoyang to report that Ma Teng's army entered Hedong, and it was possible that the real target was Luoyang. In fact, the eldest brother didn't report the news, I think Luoyang should also receive the information. This is just to show your heart, big brother.

Third, and most importantly, delay the speed of Ma Teng's army, and buy time for Zhang Jie's soldiers and horses to return to Luoyang.

And if you procrastinate? Ma Teng does not attack the city? Yang Fengdao.

Hehe, big brother, what is most needed from Hedong to Luoyang?

Yang Feng thought about it for a moment and suddenly understood.

Dao "boat"!

Yes, big brother, it's the boat. Ma Teng came from Chang'an, although he crossed the river. But it was impossible to march with a boat. The eldest brother ordered all the boats in the Yellow River to be confiscated, or simply burned. If you want to make the Yellow River within a few hundred miles of the eastern section of the river, you can't find a boat.

In this way, Ma Teng could only cross the river with bamboo rafts and other tools. But it is okay to cross the river on a bamboo raft and cross people, but it is too difficult to cross a war horse.
