Chapter 271: Take Advantage
It is said that after Ma Bin captured Zhang Liao, he immediately said to Ma Chao and Ma Dai: "The soldiers are divided into two ways to cooperate with General Pang to kill Gao Shun!" ”
"Let's kill Zhang Liao first!" Ma Chao looked at Zhang Liao viciously. Seeing this, Ma Bin hurriedly whispered to Ma Chao: "There are so many surrendered troops!" Wouldn't killing him at this time be asking for trouble? ”
The corners of Ma Chao's mouth glanced slightly, and Ma Dai also whispered to Ma Chao: "He is right, we must not act rashly at this time!" Now is the time for the two of us to show our skills and make contributions, don't waste time here, just leave the rest to him! ”
After Ma Chao heard this, he said loudly: "Ma Taishou, since we are allies!" We are also reassured of you! You are responsible for taking these troops with you, and we will go to meet with General Pang and kill Gao Shun first! ”
After Ma Bin nodded, Ma Bin and Ma Dai left two thousand men to supervise Ma Bin, and then ran directly to the northeast with his men.
Seeing this, Ma Bin smiled slightly, and said to the brothers behind him: "Brothers, that Gao Shun's trapping camp is extremely fast, we have to go around to his front to be able to kill him completely!" Time is running out, let's go! ”
After Ma Bin shouted, he actually led the men and horses directly to the east, and after galloping for nearly a hundred miles, Ma Bin's Xiliang soldiers who followed felt that the situation was a little wrong, so he said to Ma Bin: "Ma Taishou, this direction is wrong, right?" How do I feel like we're going south, not east? ”
Ma Bin said: "I don't know how many times this general has walked in this area, how can it be wrong!" You think, if Gao Shun is defeated and retreats, he will definitely run in the direction of Dasanguan, and if we keep going east, we are afraid that we will miss his army, so we do walk a little more south. If we don't see Gao Shun's army again, we will retreat! ”
After the army heard Ma Bin's words, they had nothing to say. However, the keen Zhang Liao had already sensed what Ma Bin wanted to do, but he did not plan to expose it. In his opinion, when his men and horses fought against the Xiliang army, it was also the time when he could escape.
But. Facts have proved that Zhang Liao once again made a mistake in his wishful thinking. When Ma Bin led the men and horses to the south, he did not continue to the south, but withdrew westward, but the direction of withdrawal was the direction to Niutou Mountain.
Although it was a starry night, but for those soldiers who were fighting outside all the year round, their sense of direction was still very strong, and after a short journey to the southwest, although those Xiliang soldiers were somewhat afraid of Ma Bin in their hearts, some people still mustered up the courage to say to Ma Bin: "Ma Taishou." This direction is obviously wrong! You're trying to bring us back to Dasanguan, right? ”
As soon as the soldier said this, almost all the Xiliang soldiers raised their vigilance, and Zhang Liao muttered in a low voice: "It's really a pig-like head, it's been gone for so long, is it only now that you find out?" ”
Ma Bin smiled and rode his horse to the man's side and said, "Congratulations, you're right!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the soldier had been directly stabbed under the horse by Ma Bin. Ma Bin waved his hand, and hundreds of tiger and leopard riders immediately raised their soul-chasing crossbows. The soldiers who had intended to resist relented for a moment.
"Brothers. I, Ma Bin, am a person who values righteousness and don't want to be ruthless. You've also seen how powerful General Ben's tiger and leopard ride is! If you are willing to return to Hanzhong with this general, you will be guaranteed to be prosperous and rich, and you will enjoy it inexhaustibly! But if you are still obsessed, then leave me alone Ma Bin is welcome! ”
As soon as Ma Bin finished speaking, those Xiliang soldiers began to whisper.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Liao shouted, "Brothers." If you don't do it now, when will you wait? ”
Although those soldiers had no weapons in their hands at this time, they pounced on Ma Bin's soldiers like crazy wolves.
And the Xiliang soldiers were also ready to move at this time.
Seeing that a big chaos was inevitable, Ma Bin suddenly fell off his horse and rushed to Zhang Liao, grabbed his neck and said, "Don't move!" If anyone dares to move again. General Ben immediately sent Zhang Liao to the Western Heavens! ”
The soldiers who were fighting saw Zhang Liao's legs immediately off the ground, their faces flushed, and they immediately hesitated. Seeing this, Ma Bin's soldiers immediately counterattacked, and in the blink of an eye, the tiger and leopard riders killed hundreds of people.
Xiliang Bing was completely shocked by the scene in front of him. When the soul-chasing crossbow aimed at the surrendered soldiers pointed at them again, I don't know which soldier who was afraid of death was the first to lay down his weapons and expressed his willingness to submit.
Seeing this, the other soldiers imitated it. All of a sudden, the 2,000 Xiliang soldiers actually put down their weapons.
Ma Bin put down Zhang Liao, who was already half dead, and after a while, Zhang Liao coughed a few times, and then said directly to Ma Bin: "If you want to kill, you have to scrape, listen to it!" If I, Zhang Liao, frowned, I wouldn't be surnamed Zhang! ”
Ma Bin lifted Zhang Liao, who was tied with a thick rope, up from the ground and said, "General Zhang, I was rude just now, but you also saw it, there is no way to do it!" ”
Zhang Liao glared at him angrily and then said no more.
After Ma Bin led his army around Niutou Mountain and returned to his own territory in the starry night, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't believe it now that Pang De knew what would happen if he took away not only Zhang Liao and his troops, but also two thousand Xiliang soldiers.
"What about people! What about people? When Pound learned that he had secretly returned to Yizhou with his people, he was extremely irritable.
Ma Chao and Ma Daihe had seen Pang De get so angry in front of the two of them.
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said: "That Ma Bin is really too despicable and shameless!" I beg General Pang to give me 10,000 troops, and I will go after Ma Bin now! ”
"It's too late! He's on his own! How can you two be so careless? ”
Ma Chao said quite aggrievedly: "When Ma Bin's army moved into our Dazhai, wasn't General Pang very relieved of him? And if it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid both of us would have died in the hands of that Zhang Liao! ”
"These two things are different!" Pang De shook his head helplessly, but he had to admit that this Ma Bin was really more insidious than he imagined. In this battle, although he led nearly 20,000 men and horses to defeat Gao Shun, and almost killed Gao Shun, almost all the fruits of victory were stolen by Ma Bin!
"Immediately raise troops and seize the four counties north of Yizhou!"
Although Pound was extremely irritable at this time, he knew it very well. Ma Bin took the opportunity to take advantage of it, if he couldn't take advantage of the opportunity of the big victory to conquer the city, he would have no shame to go back to see Ma Teng.
Ma Chao and Ma Dai, who were also furious, immediately led two teams of men and horses to the south after listening to Pang De's order.
It is said that although the four counties of Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui, and Guangwei are in the hands of Lu Bu, there are not many soldiers and horses stationed in these four counties, plus the 15,000 troops of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are almost all wiped out. Therefore, Pang De, Ma Chao and Ma Dai took these four counties with an army of 20,000 or 30,000 almost without much effort! Suddenly, the imperial court shook, and Lu Bu panicked.
"How so? How so! Lu Bu, who was furious, almost dropped everything that could be dropped in the tent, and the tent was suddenly in a mess and unsightly.
After hearing that there was no movement in the tent, Jia Xu slowly lifted the curtain and crept in.
"Jia is guilty! Jia is guilty! Jia Xu's face was full of sadness at this time, although the defeat in this battle had nothing to do with him, he had to admit that he didn't admonish Lu Bu. That's where we are now.
"What are your sins! It is clear that the general did not listen to the words of the military advisor! Although Lu Bu was furious at this time, he was also a person who dared to do things.
Jia Xu sighed and said: "At present, General Zhang has been captured by Ma Bin, I am afraid that it is more than lucky, and General Gao is also seriously injured!" In the light of the following, it is not appropriate for us to raise troops again in the near future. ”
Lu Bu clenched his fists and said viciously: "It's not appropriate to raise troops? At present, Pound has come to our door with a large army of bullies, how can you let General Ben endure it? ”
Jia heard that this time, Ma Bin took his elite and quietly bypassed Niutou Mountain to Pound's Dazhai. And his army was actually camped in Pound's big village. But Pang De didn't calculate it after Ma Bin won the battle. He not only took away the surrendered troops but also took away his 2,000 men and horses, presumably he must hate Ma Bin at this time! If we can intensify the contradiction between Pound and Ma Bin, we can surrender without a fight. ”
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu suspiciously.
Jia Xu said: "It's still very difficult to get Pang De to ally with us, after all, General Guo and General Li once beat Na Ma Teng directly to Zhangye County, but this does not mean that there is no possibility of an alliance between us and Na Ma Teng!" Jia heard that Ma Teng's wife and daughter were still trapped in Nanzheng by Ma Bin, as long as we found a way to kill those two. I am afraid that there will be no possibility of an alliance between Ma Teng and Ma Bin in the future! ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly realized, but he quickly frowned: "At present, there are a large number of soldiers around Hanzhong, and it is still quite difficult to enter Hanzhong. Besides, Nan Zheng must be heavily guarded, how easy is it to kill those two? ”
Jia Xu smiled slightly and said, "Jia has already arranged our people in Nanzheng. But this time we don't need to let our people do it. ”
Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu incredulously and said, "Could it be that Ma Bin's people can't do things for us?" ”
Jia Xu laughed and said, "Presumably the generals forgot that Cai Zhaoji is in Hanzhong now, right?" ”
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and immediately said to Jia Xu: "Clever plan, wonderful plan, this general will send a letter to his father-in-law now, and ask him to temporarily detain Cai Yong on the charge of collaborating with the enemy!" ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "This is not enough!" Although Jia knew that Cai Zhaoji was quite filial to his father, if he wanted to force him to kill, he had to threaten to destroy the nine clans of Cai Yong! Moreover, the crime of collaborating with the enemy is too small, and the charge of intent to rebel should be added! Although Cai Yong is currently highly respected in the DPRK and China, and Dong Zhao also respects him a lot, as long as Dong Xiang can make enough momentum and temporarily withstand the pressure of the ministers of the DPRK and China, our strategy will be successful! ”
"The military advisor is too worried! As for the gang of wastes in the court, the father-in-law asked them to face east, which of them dared to face west? ”
After hearing Lu Bu say this, although Jia Xu nodded, he still frowned slightly, after all, this time they lost their troops and lost their generals, and it was still a question whether Dong Xiang would do what they said, so after walking out of Lu Bu's camp, he immediately wrote a letter to Li Ru......
