Chapter 226: Autumn Rain

The chaos that Zhang Xiang wanted to see was that Han Sui and Ma Teng were defeated and retreated, and Li Dao and Guo Yan suffered heavy losses, but now this situation has become a stalemate at all, and the most likely result is that one side is defeated, and the whole body retreats.

Zhang Xiang decided to help Li Dao and Guo Yan and prompt them to fight a decisive battle, and the grain and grass of Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition army came from Liangzhou itself, and there was also local requisition, that is, looting places.

However, Yongzhou is no longer as rich as before, and now in addition to the former Dong Zhuo forces such as Li Dao and Guo Yan, the people basically have no surplus food at home.

Zhang Xiang contacted Li Dao and Guo Yan in advance to attack Han Sui and Ma Teng's grain trucks, and in order to ensure speed, Zhang Xiang ordered the cavalry to burn grain with one man and two horses, and disguised himself as horse bandits.

Zhang Xiang doesn't care whether the Xiliang Coalition Army believes it or not, as long as it doesn't tell the truth, even if you guess the truth about something without evidence, it's just slander to say it, Zhang Xiang's Bingzhou cavalry repeatedly attacked Han Sui Ma Teng's grain truck.

Han Sui's Ma Teng's army has basically run out of food, Han Sui's army may be able to hold out for a while, Han Sui's soldiers often rob the local people, even if they are poor people, they can squeeze three taels of oil.

But Ma Teng's army was a little unsupportable, Ma Teng's army was very disciplined, and there was only one punishment for violating military rules was death, so Ma Teng's army had begun to starve.

Han Sui pretended to support some grain and grass, but for Ma Teng's army, it could only be a drop in the bucket, it was better to ask for others than to ask for himself Ma Teng understood this truth, he was the commander of the first army, so he couldn't move lightly.

So Ma Teng sent Ma Chao back to personally transport grain, Ma Chao was ordered to return to Liangzhou and then requisitioned a batch of grain and grass, when crossing the border of Liangzhou, Long Ben led people to loot normally, this time Ma Chao personally escorted grain and grass.

The number of people in the grain transport team is also several times that of usual, but Long Ben is not afraid, and constantly harass the enemy with cavalry and shooting, which also shows the difference between the Liangzhou cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry, and the Bingzhou cavalry is better at killing the enemy with bows and arrows.

Therefore, it is very advantageous to attack from a distance, but it is different to fight in person, in order to burn the grain and grass cart, Zhang Xiang ordered people to make some simple fire oil bombs, in fact, the wine jar is filled with fire oil.

After approaching, the soldier threw the fire oil bomb on the grain and grass cart, Ma Chao also smelled the strong smell of fire oil, Ma Chao saw Long Ben at a glance, although Long Ben was dressed the same as an ordinary soldier.

But the weapon is completely different, the horse lance is simply too conspicuous in the eyes of the martial idiot Ma Chao, Ma Chao killed it with a tiger head and a golden gun, and Long Ben is no less than Ma Chao's fierce general.

And Long Ben once fought with Ma Teng, so he is no stranger to Ma Chao's routines, although Ma Chao's offensive is fierce, it is similar to Zhang Fei, and the top general who Long Ben has fought the most is Zhang Fei.

So to treat Ma Chao, who is similar to Zhang Fei's style, Long Ben is still very adaptable, Ma Chao used to fight fast, but when he met Long Ben, who was as stable as Mount Tai, he lost his biggest capital.

However, Ma Chao and Long Ben are still fighting for half a catty, Ma Chao is a martial idiot who doesn't care about other things as soon as he meets a master, not to mention an evenly matched opponent, but Ma Chao can't stand his subordinates.

It's not that Ma Chao's subordinates are not brave enough, and Long Ben's subordinates don't confront them head-on at all, but use the advantage of the two horses to fight with them, and finally get started, or the elite wolf tooth riders under Long Ben.

After a while, more than half of Ma Chao's men were killed and wounded, after all, Long Ben had more soldiers than Ma Chao's soldiers, and Ma Teng also knew the temperament of his eldest son, so he had already sent his own henchmen and generals to assist.

Seeing this situation, he immediately came to support Ma Chao, but unfortunately he was killed by Long Ben as soon as he came up, but it also made Ma Chao sober up, and Ma Chao led the remnants of his subordinates to break through.

This is also the first time Long Ben has encountered this situation, Ma Chao returned to the army empty-handed, Ma Teng saw that Ma Chao was covered in blood and knew that the grain and grass were soaked again, "Chao'er, are you okay!" ”

Ma Chao: "Father, I failed, the extraordinary people who plundered our grain routes, and the magic of a horse lance." "Ma Teng knew that his opponent was extraordinary when he saw Ma Chao, but when he heard that he was a master of making Ma Chao.

Ma Teng thought of Long Ben, Ma Teng remembered very well that when he first rebelled against the imperial court, he fought with Long Ben, and afterwards Ma Teng also inquired about Long Ben's identity and knew that he was the general under Zhang Xiang, the Taishou of Yanmen.

As Zhang Xiang's power expanded, Long Ben also followed the rising tide and his statement became higher and higher, "Chao'er, do you still remember how he used the lance, and if you remember, let me see a few tricks." ”

Ma Chao is a martial arts genius, he can remember the tricks he has seen, Ma Teng looked at it a few times and affirmed that it was Long Ben, Long Ben's lance method is too peculiar, ordinary people can't use it at all, "Chao'er stop, it's Zhang Xiang's general Long Ben." ”

Ma Chao: "It's the Long Ben who cut Huaxiong, my father said that Zhang Xiang made a move, he was too untrustworthy, we gave him so many things, it was like feeding the dogs, and in turn he attacked our grain road." ”

Ma Teng: "It's not surprising that Zhang Xiang did this, Zhang Xiang can break through such a big foundation, and he can see his means, we have no friendship with Zhang Xiang, he is understandable, but we should retreat, if Zhang Xiang launches an army and cuts off our back road, I have no way out." ”

Ma Teng immediately went to Han Sui to discuss, in fact, when Long Ben missed, Zhang Xiang asked people to contact Han Sui and transported some grain and grass over, but the things containing grain and grass were all varied.

gives people the illusion of Han Sui's soldiers looting, when Ma Teng found Han Sui, he saw these grains and grass, "Wen Yue is still merciful to those poor people." ”

Han Sui: "Shoucheng, I can't help it!" I heard that Chao'er also missed, and our army will run out of food if we don't get some food and grass. Ma Teng also knew that Han Sui was telling the truth, so he didn't continue to investigate.

Ma Teng: "Let's withdraw!" It was Zhang Xiang's soldiers and horses who attacked our grain transport team, and Chao'er would never be wrong when she saw Long Ben. Han Sui finally understood why Zhang Xiang sent grain and grass.

Nothing to do, courtesy, either treachery or theft, sure enough, Zhang Xiang is not so kind, it seems that he wants to stabilize me, but I, Han Sui, will not play with you, "Shoucheng, why don't we switch to attack and state!" I forgive Guo Yan and Li Wei will not block it, let alone attack our back road, we can't let Zhang Xiang be so proud all the time, we Liangzhou people are not easy to mess with. ”

Han Sui also wanted to test Zhang Xiang to see if his ability survived the attack then the covenant existed, if he couldn't stand it then the covenant would be completely null and void, what Zhang Xiang did was a little too inauthentic.

Han Sui Ma Teng turned around to attack Bingzhou, Li Wei and Guo Yan really stopped, and Zhang Xiang's army was arranged on the border of Yongzhou and the border of Liangzhou, so he was a little caught off guard and let Han Sui Ma Teng's coalition army attack Bingzhou.

Zhang Xiang finally understood the meaning of coming out and paying it back sooner or later, there is really no such thing as only taking advantage and not suffering losses, there was a war disaster on Zhang Xiang's side, but Cao Cao's side has improved, and Lu Bu, who has been beaten, has retreated again and again.

Liu Bei even married Mi Zhu's sister, united the Mi family of the four top wealthy families, and it was when Sun Jian took the entire territory of Jiangdong, and also went out of Jiangdong to get Jiangxia County.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian all improved, but Zhang Xiang's side provoked new enemies, but Zhang Xiang also understood that Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition forces would not stay long in Bingzhou, not to mention that other grain and grass supplements were a big problem.

But the current Xiliang coalition army is a hungry wolf, once it enters the state, it will definitely cause a scene of thousands of miles of red land, now it is autumn, the drought has passed, Zhang Xiang finally survived this pass.

I don't want to be in chaos because of the Xiliang coalition army, there are many cavalry in Zhang Xiang's army, so the speed of reinforcement is also very fast, Han Sui Ma Teng poured into Bingzhou and just crashed into Deng Mao's arms, Deng Mao can only be stationed in the place because of his ability.

However, Deng Mao is also very self-sufficient, this time the Xiliang Coalition Army entered Bingzhou, Deng Mao led the army to fight to the death, and Deng Mao also knew that he was not the opponent of the Xiliang Coalition Army, so he just hoped to hold on.

Deng Mao gave up the township and only defended the city, this Deng Mao still learned from Zhang Xiang, but unfortunately Deng Mao did not have Zhang Xiang's ability or prestige to do the strong wall and clear the wilderness, and now the people of the border land and the state suffered.

However, the purpose of the Xiliang coalition army this time is different from that of the Hu people, the Hu people are purely plundering, so they will storm the city, and there should only be good things in the city, but the Xiliang coalition army has more trouble while looting.

Deng Mao chose to defend the city with heavy troops, so the Xiliang coalition army chose not to attack the city, but only attacked some townships and Wubao, so that the landlords outside the city suffered from the old wealth, but the Xiliang coalition army was ready to evacuate at any time.

Only in the border areas of Bingzhou and not in depth, so Zhang Xiang can quickly block them, Liangzhou's tactics are relatively barbaric, and they are fighting on their own territory, Zhang Xiang naturally has to be cautious.

Zhang Xiang suddenly felt that his Bingzhou army was the same as Li Dao Guo Yan, but it was just a different place, but the situation was still the same situation, but he was facing the Xiliang coalition army.

Zhang Xiang suddenly found that he really didn't take Li Dao Guo Yan's things for nothing, they really tried to help when they had something! In the end, he actually got into trouble, and Zhang Xiang contacted Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Their answers are exactly the same as those of Zhang Xiang before, and what they do is almost just a show, no one is serious, Zhang Xiang can only sigh Is this retribution?

At this time, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and Zhang Xiang instinctively shrank his head and glanced at the heavens and thought, "God, you won't be so accurate!" But then the thunder continued.

Suddenly it rained, as the so-called autumn rain and a cold, the rain was not heavy, but the next day Zhang Xiang felt a cool air coming, but maybe this kind of weather is more suitable for the two sides to fight!

The climate in Liangzhou is relatively harsh, and this cool air is nothing to the two soldiers, they only feel cool, but Han Sui and Ma Teng did not choose to fight.

Since they suffered a loss in the first fight, they have not fought a general, and every time they face the Bingzhou army, the whole army is an assault, but their food and grass are really scarce, and the local income is not enough for them at all.

The border people of Bingzhou are already familiar with the war, and as soon as they see the invasion of the Xiliang people, they automatically retreat to the interior, so except for the few days ago, the Liangzhou people got less and less locally, and now it is very small.

Zhang Xiang's performance of the state army was surprisingly strong, which was beyond Han Sui's expectations, and Han Sui's impression had always been due to Ding Yuan's state army, and this time he also suffered a secret loss.

Han Sui has always been a player who can fight and seek peace if he can't, not to mention that he and Zhang Xiang were originally allies, so Han Sui's people found Zhang Xiang first, and this person was Cheng Gongying.

Zhang Xiang: "Lord Cheng didn't say goodbye last time, this time your lord attacked me and the state again, is it to deceive me and merge the state?" Zhang Xiang has the upper hand this time, so he naturally has to put on a strong posture.

Maybe even Zhang Xiang himself doesn't know how arrogant he is now, and Cheng Gongying's self-cultivation is not bad, otherwise he would have left long ago, "My lord has been bewitched by Ma Teng, please forgive me." ”

Zhang Xiang: "Bewitchment is really a joke, Beigong Boyu and others forced Han Sui, and finally died at the hands of Han Sui, even Ma Teng was forced by Han Sui to embark on this road, how can we talk about bewitchment?" I won't go around in circles for you, I know very well what you mean, help me take Ma Teng and I'll let you go. ”

Cheng Gongying's answer surprised Zhang Xiang, he thought it would take a while? I didn't expect it to be so easy, Cheng Gongying didn't think about it, "My army will fully cooperate, but my lord chooses the right time to make a move." ”

Cheng Gongying is surprisingly refreshing, and Zhang Xiang will not lose face, "This is natural, aren't our allies?" Of course, they have to cooperate with each other. But this time to win Ma Teng, Zhang Xiang didn't have much hope.

Han Sui's response was very fast, and asked Zhang Xiang to lead the army to call him to assist him tomorrow, Zhang Xiang just had the mentality of trying, anyway, he always had to call the battle, and he didn't have much to lose to himself.

This time, Zhang Xiang's army called for a formation, Ma Teng came out of the camp to meet the enemy, Zhang Xiang didn't understand the rules of the Xiliang coalition army, it always made people feel disorganized, Ma Chao rushed to the formation of the Bingzhou army as the vanguard.

Ma Chao fought with Zhang Feilongben and others during this time, which was the happiest day he felt, so Ma Chao basically fought for the first place in every battle, and he was more addicted than anyone else, just like a drug addict.

Zhang Xiang also has a drug addict here, that is Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao seem to be incompatible, they don't like each other, they start fighting as soon as they meet, and in the end, they don't even bother to rob Long Ben with him.

As soon as Ma Teng's army came out of the camp, Han Sui's army was killed with the army, but it was Ma Teng's rear, Ma Teng's army was forced to break through, and Han Sui followed closely behind in the footsteps of the Bingzhou army, Zhang Xiang saw this kind of scene and knew that this time it must have been Han Sui's intention, otherwise there would be no such coincidence.
