Chapter 116: Re-application
A feathered arrow rose from inside Chang'an City, glowing with a faint green light. The green light www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was very dazzling in the dark night, and when Han Sui saw this green light, he immediately ordered the whole army to be on alert to prevent Cao's army from sneaking attack.
The Xiliang coalition army couldn't understand the meaning of the green light, but Zhang He knew. Zhang He took out the wooden stick in his mouth and pulled up the war horse that had fallen to the ground, turned over and got on the horse, "Success or failure is in one move, rush with me!" ”
Eight thousand Cao soldiers rushed into the camp of the Xiliang coalition army like a god in the night. Like last time, Cao Jun fought as long as he could, and left as soon as he flew, but they would put a fire on it before leaving. Eight thousand Cao soldiers, each of whom carried a large number of fire-starting things. The autumn wind is blowing, the weather is dry, and it is just a little bit. The remaining soldiers in the camps of all departments went to fight the fire, and for a while, the 8,000 soldiers led by Zhang He had no opponents.
Zhang He held a gun and watched the flames of the camps of Xiliang, and wiped the blood on his face, "Let's go!" After a while, the eight thousand Cao army disappeared into the night. Zhang He knew very well that there was a fire in the backyard, and Han Sui and they would return to the camp soon, and if they didn't leave at this time, it would be difficult to wait until the Xiliang coalition army returned to the back.
"What did you say!" When Han Sui heard that the camp had been attacked and the grain and grass had been burned, his heart suddenly hurt violently. Han Sui sat weakly in his seat, his face turned pale, and it took a long time before he spoke, "After the various departments leave some of the soldiers to break off, withdraw the troops." ”
The Xiliang tribes withdrew to their camps, and the fire was soon brought under control, but the loss of grain and grass was great.
"What the hell is Ma Chao doing?" Liang Xing scolded angrily, "Last time, it was because Cao's army attacked the camp that the army withdrew. Why doesn't he have a good memory? ”
"I think he may have taken refuge in Cao Thief!" Li Kan followed Liang Xing's pace closely and said.
Throughout the big tent, there was a lot of discussion. Han Sui looked at Ma Chao's empty position, and muttered a little in his heart. In this attack, Han Sui asked Ma Chao's department to be stationed on the right flank, but Ma Chao did not know where to go that night, leaving only more than 2,000 people, which allowed Cao's army to take advantage of the loophole.
At the place where the Yin family's caravan was attacked, a group of soldiers in black helmets and black armor passed by, and the leader took off the mask on his face to check the scene, this person was Cao Shuang's father Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen led 5,000 tigers and leopards to ride, and had been secretly following the Yin family caravan, and their task was to surprise Xianyang and cut off its grain route when Ma Chao rushed back to Chang'an.
Cao Zhen took the mask back, turned over on his horse, raised the spear in his hand, and the five thousand tigers and leopards rode on. The tigers and leopards were all in black armor and black armor, and their faces were wearing black masks, and there was an aura of slaughter. Except for the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of armor rubbing, there is no other sound, which shows the strictness of the military aircraft.
Chang'an Jianzhang Palace, Zhang He came to restore his life, "Prime Minister, He came to restore his life." ”
Cao Cao waved his hand, with a faint smile on his face, "It's hard work, let's go back and rest for the time being." After Xiliang retreated, he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds. ”
"Thank you, Prime Minister." Zhang He said very respectfully, and then went back to bathe and sleep.
"This time, thanks to the military road built by Yuan Chang (Zhong Xuan, table character) and Ziyang (Liu Ye, table character)'s giant beast train." Cao Cao did not forget to praise Zhong Xuan and Liu Ye, if it were not for the troop transportation road built by Zhong Xuan in Chang'an, Zhang He and Cao Zhen would not have been able to go out of the city at all, let alone the surprise attack behind. The fire-breathing giant beast was built by Liu Ye, and it has been working day and night for several days to achieve today's results.
Zhong Xuan and Liu Ye naturally didn't dare to hold it up, so they hurriedly got up, "The prime minister is wise, and the enemy is expected to be in advance." ”
Cao Cao laughed, asked the two of them to sit down, and drank a jue of wine, "The old trick is repeated, I want to see how Ma Chao Xiao'er responds this time." ”
When Ma Chao returned to the camp, he saw that Liang Xing, Ma Wan, and Li Kan's camp had surrounded their camp. Ma Chao was silent, the camp was still smoking, and Ma Chao understood that this must have been done by Cao Jun.
"Young master, we have been tricked." Pound knelt on one knee, and the white cloth wrapped around his neck had turned black because of the soot at the moment.
Ma Chao didn't ask about the camp, but still helped Pang De and asked with great concern, "What?" Injured? ”
Pound's nose was sour, and he controlled the turbid liquid in his eyes and said, "A little injury, it's not a big deal." ”
"Order the camp to be reorganized and the grain and grass to be counted." Ma Chao nodded, his expression was very indifferent.
"Big brother, what about the people outside?" Ma Dai is not as relaxed as Ma Chao, and his face is full of melancholy.
"They can camp wherever they want." Ma Chaotou didn't return, so he returned to his camp.
The fire under Chang'an City is still burning, and the stench is disgusting. Han Sui was diagnosed and treated by the Chihuo Dao people, took a few medicines, and his heartache was relieved a lot. Han Sui leaned on the bed, his face pale, "Dao Chief, why did your numbness fail?" Song He, who was sitting on one side, also pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he wanted to harvest, but now he was harvested by Cao Jun. Of course, he was unwilling. All because of their excessive trust in Ma Jinsan.
The Red Fire Dao man stroked the three strands of beard under his chin, sighed and shook his head, "Poor Dao didn't expect that there would be such a master in this Chang'an, and he made a mistake. ”
Han Sui's heart pumped one after another, the coalition army suffered forty or fifty thousand casualties, and you will be finished with a mistake.
"What should we do next?" Yan Xing stood on the side and asked very calmly. Since things have come to such a point, we should not dwell on them before, but look forward.
Song He habitually touched his bald head, "I'm afraid there is only one strong attack at this moment." ”
Although the number of Cao's army is smaller than that of the Xiliang coalition army, it is difficult to take Chang'an by relying on the strong city of Chang'an. A strong attack is the most unwilling method for Han Sui, which will cause great casualties, and if it does, he will not have the strength to march into the Central Plains.
"According to the poor road, let's rest and recuperate." The Red Fire Daoist put forward his own suggestion, and then said viciously, "I'll go back to Sanlong Mountain to get some things, and then make Chang'an a purgatory." ”
Han Sui was attracted by Chihuo's words, stretched his neck and asked, "What other magic weapon does the Dao Master have?" ”
"Heaven must not be divulged." The people of Chihuo Dao laughed and sold it. After the Red Fire Daoist finished speaking, he led the four apprentices back to Sanlong Mountain. These three dragon mountains are in the territory of Caohan, and they are the places where Chihuo originally practiced.
"My lord, there is one more matter that we will solve first." Yan Xing said with a fist clenched towards Han Sui.
"What?" Han Sui closed his eyes and gently rubbed his heart with his hands.
"Grain and grass!" Two simple words popped out of Yan Xing's mouth.
Hearing the word grain and grass, Han Sui's mind flashed with a fine light, "Order Xianyang to send grain, collect the grain and grass of all departments together, manage it in a unified manner, and distribute it in a unified manner until the grain and grass in Xianyang arrive." ”
Yan Xing understood the meaning of Han Sui's words, and it was clear that he couldn't turn his face with Ma Chao, and it was still okay to rectify it behind his back.
