Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fighter Has Arrived

As soon as Gao Ye's voice fell, Sima Yi and Lu Xun were both surprised. To be honest, whether it is Xiahou Yuan's ability or identity, he is definitely more than enough as the main general of this way. However, Gao Ye directly ordered the two of them to help Xiahou Yuan in Chang'an, and even bluntly said that Xiahou Yuan should not be stubborn before the war, and he must discuss with the two of them, how much trust and expectation is this, so that Gao Ye can make this decision.

What surprised the two even more was that Gao Ye was sure that with only nearly 6,000 soldiers and horses, he would be able to deal with Budugen for a month or two. Before the arrival of the high night, Sima Yi and Lu Xun had a discussion, although the strategy of dividing the troops was also in their discussion, but it was quickly rejected by the two of them. After all, the high night is coming, the soldiers and horses in the hands are not enough, if the troops are divided to the north and meet the Budugen, it will be difficult to stop if there are few people, and Chang'an will not be guaranteed if there are many people. This is also the reason why Sima Yi proposed to speed up the process, quickly repel the Xiliang army in a surprise attack, and then go to meet the Xianbei army. This is also one of the reasons why Lu Xun strongly proposed to abandon Chang'an, retreat to the Tongguan area, use Luoyang as the last barrier, and use the strategy of great depth to consume the enemy.

But Gao Ye neither chose to retreat, nor did he choose a surprise attack, but instead wanted to go north with his soldiers and horses, so that Sima Yi and Lu Xun could continue to carry out counter-plots and eliminate as much of the living force of the Xiliang Army as possible. If someone else proposes such a strategy, Sima Yi will simply have to pick and choose. After all, in his opinion, this is absolutely self-defeating. But now the person who proposed such a strategy is Gao Ye, which makes Sima Yi and Lu Xun have to think carefully about the feasibility of the plan. Especially Gao Ye's appearance of being a bamboo in his chest made the two of them even more crazy, because the two of them really couldn't think of what Gao Ye could do to delay the discord for another month.

However, Gao Ye obviously didn't have any intention of explaining carefully to the two of them, and in the face of the searching eyes of the two, Gao Ye just smiled and said: "Don't worry, that Xianbei Budu is my old opponent, when I was still in Wuyuan, I fought with him a lot, and I know his ability very well." The two of you will give me peace of mind to stay here, help Miaocai break the Xiliang army, and then send troops to support. ”

Although Sima Yi was still full of doubts, he knew that Gao Ye left in a hurry, and he never asked how Gao Ye planned it. Lu Xun on the side was full of curiosity, but seeing that Gao Ye didn't say anything, Sima Yi didn't ask, and he himself was embarrassed to ask more. It wasn't until Gao Ye left that Lu Xun quietly approached Sima Yi's side and asked, "Brother Zhongda, seeing that you are so indifferent, have you guessed Mr.'s plan?" ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I don't know." Seeing that Lu Xun was still going to speak, Sima Yi rushed to say: "Mr. doesn't know what to say, so naturally there is a reason for Mr." Besides, the current situation, Mr. must have a conspiracy in his heart, you must know that this wall has ears! Sir is still you and my husband, wait until we are done to fight, and then ask, can Sir tell you about the two of us? Don't think about this, Bo Yan, you and I still have to calculate, how to beat Ma Teng and Han Sui. ”

As for Ma Teng, who had been talked about by Sima Yi, he was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't spend a single soldier, but he came to Wugong City with soldiers and horses, and took Wugong City into his pocket. This city, which was attacked by the coalition forces for nearly a month and not taken, has now easily fallen into his own hands, and the guards of Qianxian, Liquan and other places have asked him to surrender a few days ago, and his prestige can be said to be unique for a while. After the martial arts, Chang'an is in front of him, with the previous arrangements, Ma Teng believes that it is easy to win Chang'an!

Conquering martial arts is a great joy for the entire Xiliang coalition army, after all, this city is in the hands of Xiahou Yuan, which not only hinders the attack of the coalition army, but also causes a lot of losses to the coalition army. Now Xiahou Yuan retreated in a panic, and the martial arts and other places looked at the wind and fell, as if the whole situation was in his hands all of a sudden, Chang'an was more like a piece of fat in front of him, as long as he moved his hands, he could eat it in his mouth.

If there is still one person in the Xiliang Army who will be a little unhappy, it must be Han Sui. In fact, Han Sui at this time was no longer the so-called unhappy, when he was alone in the big tent, Ma Teng and his ancestors had already been scolded by Han Sui for eighteen generations. It's not that Han Sui is dissatisfied with the battle situation in front of him, it's just that when these city guards faced the coalition forces, instead of surrendering to themselves, the nominal commander-in-chief, they surrendered to Ma Teng, who was similar in strength to himself, which made Han Sui can't help but be annoyed.

But annoyance is annoyance, and Han Sui is helpless about it. He was born as a civilian, and with his own strength, he sat in today's position step by step. Even the rebellion of Beigong Boyu back then failed to make the imperial court feel sorry for itself, this ability and ability are not more than enough than a Ma Teng? But the key is that there is one thing in Ma Teng that he can't compare with no matter what, that is, his background and fame. Don't look at Ma Teng is now just the Marquis of Huaili, and he has a side in the Xiliang area, but Ma Teng's ancestor is a famous general of the Han Dynasty and the famous Fubo general Ma Yuan. The Ma family has been a prince for generations, and he is famous, where can he compare?

In the past, in Xiliang, the Qiang and Han lived together, and there were few celebrities, and the gap above this reputation could not be seen at all. This grassroots is more capable of being in the upper position, and it is because the people don't care about fame. But when they arrived in Guanzhong, the gap in fame was gradually reflected, and Zhao Ang, Liang Kuan, Jiang Xu and others descended to Ma Teng, which is the biggest proof. Obviously, he is the commander, and his strength is not inferior to Ma Teng, but people don't recognize him, but they surrender to Ma Teng like a bunch, isn't the role of fame obvious enough?

He worked hard to get to the position of leading the Guanxi group now, but he didn't expect to hit Guanzhong, and Ma Teng was going to use his ancestral prestige to suppress himself. If he breaks through Chang'an and enters Luoyang, won't he be crushed by Ma Teng everywhere? Now that he has relied on the prestige of his father and ancestors, he has won the surrender of these countless counties west of Chang'an, which has not increased his prestige! If the cycle goes on like this, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will take Chang'an, and the whole world will only remember Ma Teng's work!

Therefore, Han Sui, who was holding Ma Teng's military newspaper, had a desire to choose people at this moment, especially after learning that Ma Teng had harvested 3,000 stones of grain and grass provided by the surrounding counties in martial arts, but had never explained this matter to himself, the whole person was more and more gloomy. Ma Teng's momentum is so strong now, if he doesn't take measures, I'm afraid that in a few days, Ma Teng will completely override his head! Although he had already ordered Yan Xing, who was accompanying the Xianbei people, to wait for an opportunity to weaken the strength of Ma Tengjun. But now, it seems that this is not enough!

Thinking of this, Han Sui paced back and forth in the big tent, pacing from the sun's westward slope to the moon's mid-sky, and then sneered and shouted for someone. But he sneered in his heart: "Ma Shoucheng, you can't blame me this time!" ”

Ma Teng, who was martial artistic, was still celebrating his victory, and he couldn't imagine that Han Sui behind him had already begun to calculate himself. Although Ma Teng is still wary of Han Sui, Ma Teng feels that now that the enemy is present, Han Sui should not be unconcerned about the overall situation. When he really won Chang'an, it was the time when the relationship between himself and Han Sui was the most tense.

In fact, what Ma Teng thought was not wrong, although he and Han Sui had been fighting for so many years, and it was not until the year before last that they were persuaded by Zhong Xuan and Wei Duan to stop fighting. But now that the coalition has been formed, it is in the interests of all parties to get Chang'an, so before Chang'an is obtained, everyone should be safe and sound and work together. If the war develops normally, such a plot is naturally understandable. But Ma Teng, who has always been not good at calculation, did not take the off-field factor of discord into account at all, and never thought about how long the already fragile coalition could last in the face of the pervasive calculations of Gao Ye and others.

Although Ma Teng received Han Sui's request to continue to advance and attack Chang'an, Ma Teng never thought much about it. First, now that he has won the martial arts, the morale of the corporal is high. Second, Liquan and Qianxian counties sent grain and grass to themselves as a testimony of sincerity. Thirdly, he himself also intends to march towards Chang'an, wanting to quickly win Chang'an and take the credit alone. Therefore, Han Sui's order to let him continue to advance can be said to have fallen into Ma Teng's hands.

In particular, Han Sui also told Ma Teng how to contact the fine work in Chang'an City; also told Ma Teng that Ma Play and Yang Qiu were on the left and right flanks of his Ma Teng, marching with him; Li Kan and Zhang Heng's soldiers and horses followed, and he Han Sui took Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Hou Xuan, and Cheng Yin to press behind, and then caught up. With such an arrangement, Ma Teng didn't see the slightest flaw at all, and he went east without any doubt.

It's just that Ma Teng didn't expect that the matter of three thousand stones of grain and grass would have exploded in Ma Play and Yang Qiu a long time ago. Although the two of them accepted Han Sui's order and followed Ma Teng's two flanks, how much of Ma Teng's opinion was in the hearts of the two of them could be seen from their marching state. The distance from Wugong to Chang'an was not very far, and Ma Teng didn't even realize that he and the people on both wings were a little far away. But when Sima Yi in Chang'an received the scout's report, he could be said to have captured this extremely keenly.

Sima Yi glanced up at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, what do you think?" ”

Lu Xun smiled when he heard this: "I think it's okay, but shouldn't I think about how to deal with Han Sui's soldiers and horses?" After all, this is what Mr. expected. ”

Xiahou Yuan on the side heard this, his eyes widened almost like copper bells, he could understand every word that Sima Yi and Lu Xun said, but after combining them into one sentence, he didn't know what these two guys were talking about. I only heard the two of them say a few more words, as if they had reached an agreement, they hurriedly shook their heads and asked, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing!" Tell me, do you have any plans? ”

Sima Yi and Lu Xun glanced at each other, smiled indifferently, and arched their hands at Xiahou Yuan: "General, the fighter plane has arrived, Bo Yan and I have set up a plan, and we will definitely be able to help the general beat the Xiliang Army to a fart!" ”
