Chapter 340 Clever plans also depend on luck
Ma Chao and Ma Dai left Chang'an City and continued all the way west, and when they reached the vicinity of Huaili, they met Deng Zhi's army head-on. 23US. Fastest update
"Where's the general?" Deng Zhi led the foot soldiers all the way east, and the goal was to point directly at Chang'an City, and he actually passed around Huaili City.
"Did the enemy follow you?" Ma Chao didn't answer the rhetorical question, he just wanted to meet the enemy army in the field now and have a good kill.
"The general is from the east, so what is happening in Chang'an City now?" Deng Zhi didn't even answer Ma Chao's question, he just wanted to take Chang'an City.
Ma Dai sighed: "Alas, that Xiahou Ru is stationed in Chang'an City, very cautious, I heard that there are still 7,000 defenders in the city, and Chang'an City is well defended, it is not easy to take it quickly in one go." ”
"I haven't gotten any news that the enemy is tailgating, so I guess I won't chase after me in the next two days." Deng Zhi answered Ma Chao's question at this time, and glanced at Ma Dai, this guy threw all the men and horses left by Wei Yan to me three days ago, is it because we are slow, and we want to attack Chang'an with his brother first?
"Let's go!" Ma Chao shook his head and told Ma Dai to follow him, and the enemy did not follow him, so he would catch up with him.
Deng Zhi hurriedly asked again: "Where is the general going?" ”
"Go face the enemy and fight against the enemy!" Ma Chao held back his strength.
"General, slow." Deng Zhi hurriedly persuaded, "General, since Chang'an City is difficult to capture for a while, I want to ask the general to take down this Huaili City first." ”
The Ma Chao brothers have completely given up their plans to attack the city. Ma Dai shook his head at Deng Zhi and said, "We are all cavalry. ”
Deng Zhi reminded: "Don't forget, you still have 4,000 foot soldiers here." ”
These words reminded the Ma brothers again, but isn't it, yesterday they were still dragging Wei Yan and they allocated a total of 2,000 cavalry to help him, and Ma Dai dumped Wei Yan's 4,000 men and horses and shouted that he was at a loss, why did this person come again, and he forgot about it for a while.
Deng Zhi reminded again: "Moreover, of these 4,000 people, there are still 1,000 people who are not in the army!" ”
"You are, let me command these 4,000 men and horses to capture Huaili with you?" Ma Dai was tempted.
Deng Zhi nodded repeatedly: "That's it." ”
He is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he has long been unhappy with Wei Yan. Although he should have been supervised by Wei Yan this time, if he pulled the hussar general Ma Chao and commanded the attack on Huaili in his name, Wei Yan could only stare dryly, and he would be relieved when he thought about it.
"Brother!" Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao, full of joy, if he took Huaili, the anger he received in Chang'an could be left behind.
Of course, Deng Zhi had other considerations, and said to Ma Chao: "General, we have only been in a hurry all the way, and we have not captured a city yet, and the sergeants will not be able to rest, and the enemy army will catch up in the future, in case something goes wrong, if you want to hold on and relax, there is no place." ”
Ma Dai immediately responded: "That's right, this grain and grass can't keep up, if you take Huaili, you can also make up for it." ”
Ma Chao can't forget, when his father Ma Teng was worshiped by the Han family as a former general, a fake festival, and the marquis of Huaili, if their brother recaptures Huaili now, is it also a comfort to his deceased father? So he immediately agreed, and said to Deng Zhi: "Okay, you lead the army to attack the city, and I will lead the cavalry to guard outside and block the enemy's reinforcements for you." ”
That's what Deng Zhi meant, he even saw that there were some people in Ma Chao's subordinates wearing the uniforms of the Wei army, and hurriedly asked Ma Chao: "The general has already won a big battle, are these all newly surrendered personnel?" ”
"No, no, no." Only then did Ma Chao roughly compare what he had experienced in the past few days with Deng Zhi.
When Deng Zhi heard that Wei Yan had already taken Tongguan, and that there were still 2,000 Wudang and 2,000 cavalry from Ma Chao to assist him in guarding the pass, he was even more relieved, and he must wait for Huaili to be taken, and then put Wei Yan's original headquarters back.
"General, you haven't been able to sneak into Chang'an City, so it's better to continue to try in Huaili." He suggested to Ma Chao that he continue to pretend to be Wei Jun to see if he could sneak into Huaili and easily capture the city.
"This ......" Ma Chao and Ma Dai glanced at each other, "In Chang'an, this plan has been seen through by Xiahou Ru, and if it is transferred to Huaili, can it be done?" ”
"I think it can be done!" Deng Zhi analyzed, "There are already many defenders in Chang'an City, and he Xiahou Ru is naturally very cautious about the hundreds of Wei troops, and the team he just sent to Tongguan. But in this Huaili City, there are not many defenders, if there are hundreds of reinforcements to help them defend the city, then Fufeng Taishou will definitely be thankful, it is too late to be happy, where would they think to suspect these people. ”
It seems to make sense, the Ma brothers looked at each other again, and then slammed their heads to the ground,!
So the old trick was repeated, Ma Dai hurriedly changed into the clothes of the Wei army, led Wang Bi and hundreds of cavalry still wearing the uniforms of the Wei army, and rushed to Huaili City again.
In Huaili City, Fufeng Taishou didn't have time to get the news that Ma Chao had run back again, but he already knew that Deng Zhi's tens of thousands of horses bypassed Huaili and ran to Chang'an, and he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
I don't know how this Cao Zhen and what Sima Yi, what Zhang, Guo Huai and the like, how did they fight, taking away all the soldiers and horses in this pass, it was to destroy the enemy, but the result was that the enemy was killed in Chang'an City, but they didn't even have a shadow, really!
This Huaili City, there were originally less than 1,000 county soldiers, and Guo Huai sent 200 to help transport any grain, and now tens of thousands of enemies are coming to attack Huaili, and it won't be long before this city will be captured.
The west can't count on it, and expects Chang'an to send reinforcements, but Xiahou Ru can't protect Chang'an itself, so he wants him to stick to Huaili with his existing strength.
Stick to a fart, if you want to have no generals, if you want soldiers to have no soldiers, he is too protective of a literati, what do you hold onto?
He's even told his family to pack their bags and get ready to run away.
Fortunately, God blessed, Deng Zhi also rushed straight to Chang'an, and actually ran around Huaili City.
Thankfully, Fufeng Taishou picked up a life, maybe the enemies of this Huaili City still can't look down on it.
If they really go all out to attack Chang'an, then it's good, if they can't take it for a while, Cao Zhen and they will definitely have to come back to help, and the imperial court should also send reinforcements to Guanzhong again, and at that time, maybe things will be easier.
At this moment, the defenders of the city came to report that hundreds of cavalry had come outside the city and had a message to bring to Lord Taishou.
Well? Didn't you send reinforcements? Lord Taishou hurriedly went up to the top of the city and shouted at the city, "Who are you? I'm just helping the wind too much, what do you have to say? ”
Chengxia replied: "My lord, I am the prince Wang Bi under the account of General Xiahou Ru, I heard that the enemy has a large army coming to Huaili, and I was specially ordered to lead 800 men and horses to help the lord defend the city, I didn't want to meet the enemy's army on the road, I was scattered, all the foot soldiers were gone, and only these few hundred cavalry remained." ”
Bring 800 people, you Xiahou Ru is really generous, Fufeng Taishou looked at the embarrassed Wang Bizhong, and said sympathetically: "Thank God, the enemy didn't come to attack Huaili, and went straight to Chang'an, here is safe and sound!" ”
"Well, we got it." The king of the city will reply, "This place is safe and sound, and we can go back to report to General Xiahou, please continue to hold on." Here we go! ”
"Can you still return to Chang'an City safely?" Fufeng Taishou looked at these people and felt pitiful, "Since there are enemy armies in front of you, and you are only left with such a person, it is better to simply enter the city and wait for General Zhengxi to return to help." ”
Ma Dai under the city can't wait to stand up straight, and plant directly from the horse's back to the ground, this is really, shouting to enter the city and not letting people, this trouble does not want to enter, but people are very enthusiastic to invite.
Wang Bi couldn't make up his mind anymore, so he turned around and asked Ma Dai softly: "Then, do you want to go in now?" ”
Ma Dai was angry for a while, and even asked Wang Bi to answer: "We are still in a hurry to protect Chang'an, so you should continue to hold on, my lord, let's go first." ”
"Don't go, don't go!" Fufeng Taishou was really anxious, "You have worked hard to get here, and you have been attacked by the enemy, why don't you come to the city first to rest and recuperate, and let's discuss what to do together!" ”
What he actually thinks is that Chang'an is such a big city, and there are only such people left there, and there is not much difference between you and you, but if you put it in my Huaili City, the defense surface is not very wide, but it is possible to hold it for a while.
Before Wang Bi could reply, Fufeng Taishou exclaimed again: "Oh no, look back, it seems that a large number of people have been killed again!" It can't be our reinforcements, right? ”
The horsemen under the city hurriedly turned back, and then exclaimed together: "My lord, no, we don't have so many cavalry for a long time, this, this looks like Ma Chao's team has killed again!" No, my lord, we're leaving, take care! ”
Sure enough, it was Ma Chao who led the army to rush over, it turned out that he thought about it later, and he didn't give the order time to think at the beginning, so he easily entered, and when he arrived in Chang'an, Xiahou Ru didn't see a large number of enemy troops coming, so he was suspicious, so he was suspicious, so that his plan failed.
In short, what Da Sima confessed to him was to try to make a "fast" word when he arrived in Guanzhong, and he had to be so fast that the enemy could not figure out his head, so that he could take advantage of the chaos.
Fufeng Taishou was really in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and beckoned to Ma Dai and them: "Quick, quick, come in, come in!" ”
He also wants to figure out the word "fast"!
It's really hard to be enthusiastic, Ma Dai and the others had to take advantage of the situation to enter the city, and turn back three times to see how far Ma Chao and them still are.
Fufeng Taishou urged repeatedly: "Hurry, hurry!" Do you want to wait for the enemy to catch up? ”
Ma Dai rode into the city, immediately occupied the city gate, and at the same time shouted: "If you don't want to die, quickly put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender!" ”
Fufeng Taishou didn't expect that this reinforcement was actually here to ask them to surrender, so he trembled with anger, pointed at them and scolded: "You...... You you you ......"
Ma Dai stepped forward and revealed his identity: "I am Ma Dai, the younger brother of the Han hussar general Ma Chao." Taishou-sama wasn't from Guanzhong before? Haven't heard of Ma Dai's name? ”
"Ahh Taishou couldn't stand the stimulation, screamed, and fainted to the ground.
Ma Chao led the crowd into the city, full of emotion, alas, it is really not bright in the east and bright in the west, Chang'an failed to enter, this Huaili City, the fief of his father back then, was taken back so easily. (To be continued.) )
