Chapter Twenty-Five: The Enraged Han Sui
A batch of military rations is only 4,000 stones, which is nothing at all in Yanzhou, which has always had plenty of grain and grass. But just these 4,000 stones of grain and grass made the two generals in the northwest fight in disregard of the righteousness of their allies. For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, and there were countless casualties. On the contrary, it was Pan Zhang's opponent, and his soldiers and horses were killed and wounded only 30 people.
In fact, for Liang Xing and Cheng Yi, these thirty stones of grain and grass are not much, but they are indeed a lot. The northwest has an arid climate, the output is not abundant, coupled with the continuous wars, and the Qiang people are in rebellion, the army is really not much food for the expedition. Besides, now it is Han Sui, the old fox who is in charge of the grain and grass, and the daily supply of food for each soldier and horse, he calculates it clearly, carefully and carefully, and he can't even get more than a single grain. Now that there is an unexpected gain of 4,000 stones, how can Cheng Yi and Liang Xing not be itchy? You must know that grain and grass are the deadliest key points of the army!
But to say that these four thousand stones are more, it is really not too much for the two of them. Both of them are people who are on one side, although they nominally obey the dispatch of Han Sui and Ma Teng, the two Xiliang bigwigs, but in fact they are also in their own line. In their eyes, these 4,000 stone of grain and grass were really not a reason to fight. To be honest, if Cheng Yi robbed the grain and grass of 4,000 stones by himself, although Liang Xing would be a little depressed, he would never take people and horses to kill him. For Liang Xing, what really made him angry was that he led his men and horses to fight with Pan Zhang, but Cheng Yi picked up a big bargain in the back! What made Liang Xing even more unacceptable was that he Cheng Yiming knew that he was fighting with Cao Jun in front, and he took the opportunity to take the four thousand stones of grain and grass, but he didn't mean to give it to him at all!
I fought hard, and in the end, I lost both people and money, and I went to Chengyi to ask for it in person, but Chengyi directly rejected him, where did he put his face? Even if he can endure it, how can he endure the thugs under him? None of you are muddy, how can you take care of so much when your temper comes up?
Liang Xing and Cheng Yi had a chicken feather, and both of them were furious. If there is anyone who is more angry than the two of them at this moment, it must be Han Sui in the big tent of the Chinese army. Since receiving the scout's report, he has already made a fire with half a pillar of incense in the big tent alone, if Ma Teng hadn't walked into his Han Sui's big tent, it is estimated that Han Sui would have been able to scold Liang Xing and Cheng Yi for half an hour.
Han Sui saw Ma Teng enter the big tent, although his anger did not subside, he was still much calmer. Ma Teng walked to Han Sui's side and patted Han Sui's shoulder, but before Ma Teng could speak, Han Sui snorted coldly and said, "Shoucheng, you talk about it, you talk about it!" Liang Xing and Cheng Yi are doing what these two guys are going to do! With only 4,000 stones of grain and grass, let the two of them fight, and there were no less than 2,000 casualties! ”
As he spoke, he slapped the table in front of him that he didn't know how many times he had slapped today, and said hatefully: "How long have Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin and Xiahou Yuan fought for a long time, although the troops have lost a lot, but they have also successfully suppressed Xiahou Yuan in martial arts and dare not take it lightly, and other counties also dare not move lightly. But now Liang Xing and Cheng Yi, the two guys who have not achieved enough and more than lost, have lost these people and horses in a firefight, where is the prestige of you and me? How to fight this battle! No, the two of them must be called back, military law is engaged! ”
Ma Teng shook his head, took two steps and sighed: "Alas, Gao Mingxi's trick is so clever, using only four thousand stones of grain and grass, let our vanguard army kill each other." Ke Wenyue, now is not the time for you and me to be angry, the enemy is not as cool as we were in the past. Gao Mingxi has always been strategic, and he is used to using tricks, he set up this plan just to let us kill each other, and now that Liang Xing and Cheng Yi have fought hard, we can't go on like this! If we deal with both of them because of this, the coalition will fall apart immediately! ”
Although Han Sui was furious, he had to admit that Ma Teng's words were very reasonable. Now it is indeed no better than being in Xiliang, and he can calmly design Liang Xing and others, and annex their forces to strengthen himself. But now in front of him, there are opponents like Gao Ye to deal with, and he really can't act rashly. If he was angry for a moment just now, and ordered someone to bring Liang Xing and Cheng Yi back, the two of them might be frightened in their hearts, so they turned against each other directly and took refuge in Gao Ye. Even if the two of them were taken back, how could their subordinates be easily subdued by themselves? The two of them were reunited by themselves, and the others must have a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox. Originally, everyone has their own thoughts now, but at that time, I am afraid that this team will be even more difficult to lead.
Although he is known as Han Jiuqu, he has always been conceited and resourceful, but in the face of an enemy like Gao Ye, no matter how careful he is, he can't be too careful. After all, the shadow of a person's famous tree, just by virtue of his achievements and methods of action over the years, he never dared to take it lightly. Han Sui, who came to his senses, also sighed, nodded and said, "Shoucheng, you are right, I am dizzy from anger!" Alas, now that Liang Xing and Cheng Yi have suffered such serious losses in their soldiers and horses, the heavy responsibility of coercing Xiahou Yuan cannot be handed over to them. Let's let them come back, and let their troops rest and recuperate. ”
Ma Teng saw that Han Sui's anger suddenly subsided, and he returned to his shrewd appearance in the past, and then smiled and said: "Wen Yue is reasonable, Xiahou Yuan's troops are insufficient, and he is shrinking in martial arts, and he doesn't dare to make any big moves. This pioneer, let anyone go. Now we are still concentrating our forces, sweeping other counties first, and replenishing food and grass. ”
Han Sui nodded yes when he heard this, and then ordered people to rush to Liang Xing and Chengyi immediately, let the two of them lead the troops to the rear to rest first, and ordered Ma Yu and Zhang Heng, who were originally the rear army, to be the vanguard, and continue to coerce Xiahou Yuan, who was martial arts, to win the martial arts as soon as possible and enter Chang'an.
It was only Han Sui's order that was issued, and another guard outside the tent hurriedly ran into the big tent, and at a glance he knew that there was an emergency. It's just that as soon as the guard entered the big tent, he suddenly saw Ma Teng here, and he was stunned, but he still bowed down and bowed, saying that there was an urgent military situation, but he spoke a little slurred. Han Sui looked at the guard but laughed and said, "What is the military situation, come quickly." General Shoucheng is not an outsider, what are you worried about! ”
When the guard heard this, he immediately replied: "Two generals, Xiahou Yuan, who is martial arts, has withdrawn!" ”
Ma Teng frowned immediately when he heard this, and Han Sui got up directly and said, "What did you say?" Xiahou Yuan ran away? ”
The guard nodded and said affirmatively: "Exactly, the scout reported that the Cao army that said that the martial arts were evacuating, and the banner was Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses." Besides......" Han Sui saw that the guard was spitting again, and waved his hand impatiently and said, "What's more? ”
"Besides, I heard the reports of soldiers and horses from other roads, saying that they had encountered a lot of messengers, such as Qianxian, Liquan and other places, and said that Xiahou Yuan couldn't beat General Ma, and now he has run away. They were ordered to go...... Go...... General Ma asked for surrender and begged General Ma to leave a way for them to live in the city. ”
When Ma Teng heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, although he didn't have Han Sui's exquisite mind, but in the face of such a scene, he also had a feeling of being calculated. It's just that Han Sui didn't show any signs of anger, but chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, this guy Xiahou Yuan finally can't hold on!" I also said that his soldiers and horses were all made of iron! Now it's just right to run, he ran away, and we just went to Chang'an! ”
When Ma Teng heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Wenyue, will there be fraud in this?" ”
When Han Sui heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "I can understand the use of the four thousand stone grain and grass that made Liang Xing and Cheng Yi fight!" Hmph, if you want me to see, we're really thinking a little too much, and this is not a high-night ploy at all! Xiahou Yuan wants to stick to his martial arts, and when Gao Ye's brigade of soldiers and horses arrives, he will definitely need food and grass! And these grains and grasses were transported from Chang'an to Wugong to Xiahou Yuan. Chang'an has also been in constant war over the years, and the grain is not abundant, and once this batch of grain and grass is lost, Xiahou Yuan must have felt that it was difficult to hold on, so he ordered to retreat. Alas, if Cheng Yi and Liang Xing didn't fight, they would definitely be able to win a big victory if they attacked at this time! Unexpectedly, these 4,000 stone grain and grass did not fall into the hands of Xiahou Yuan, but they helped Cao Jun retreat safely! This Chang'an, I'm afraid it's hard to fight. ”
Although Ma Teng is not good at calculation, he still has a set of battles, and after listening to Han Sui's words, Ma Teng shook his head and said: "What if this batch of grain and herbs is just to let Xiahou Yuan retreat safely, so that Liang Xing and Cheng Yi can get it?" I listened to the report and said that when Cheng Yi took the grain and grass, there was almost no loss. Wen Yue, think about it, if this batch of grain and grass is so important, how could Cao Jun easily give up and give up the grain and grass? ”2737
Han Sui nodded when he heard this, "It makes sense to say that!" But no matter what, the martial arts are finally going to fall into our hands, with the martial arts, plus the counties such as Liquan and other counties are looking down on the wind, our army can not only replenish the grain and grass, but also the soldiers can rest a little, and then take Chang'an with a bang! We have nearly 500 small works mixed in with the refugees and mixed into Chang'an City. When the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, no matter how fast the night is, it will not be able to keep Chang'an! Shoucheng, without further ado, you better go back to the camp as soon as possible, while accepting and appeasing those messengers, while stepping up preparations, we will leave tomorrow, first win the martial arts, and then go straight to Chang'an City! ”2934
Ma Teng nodded yes, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with Han Sui, he immediately took his leave and returned to the camp. Han Sui saw Ma Teng walking away, but the chill in his eyes became more and more intense. No matter what you say, you are also the Xiliang princes who are fighting against Ma Teng! Those people actually ran to Ma Teng's camp to surrender, and none of them even came to their own place, so didn't they say that they were inferior to Ma Teng? Moreover, in this way, Ma Teng's power will expand dramatically, especially since even Xiahou Yuan said that he is not Ma Teng's opponent, so how can he compete with Ma Teng in Xiliang in the future?
Thinking of this, seeing that his guards were still in the tent, Han Sui said coldly: "Go, tell Yan Xing, those difficult bones will be handed over to Ma Chao to gnaw!" Let him save my strength well, understand? ”
