Chapter 212: Han Sui and Ma Teng's feud

When Cao Cao's army arrived, Turbid Deer City had been captured by Yuan Shao's army, when Yuan Shao was ordering the slaughter of the city, the money and materials in the entire Turbid Deer City were looted, the men were killed, and the women were all subjected to unprecedented insults.

Yuan Shao originally ordered the army to slaughter the city for three days, but there were only more than 100,000 people in the entire city, and the average division of the 80,000 army was less than two people, so the massacre was over in less than a day.

In addition, the strategist Guo Tu also proposed a plan to Yuan Shao, that is, when it was time to attack Cao Cao, throw all these corpses into Cao Cao's city, and let his soldiers also taste the taste of being shocked by the corpses of his own soldiers and people.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but think of the fact that Cao Cao also used the ears of his soldiers to deter during the Battle of Guandu, and couldn't help but grit his teeth, nodded heavily, and agreed to Guo Tu's request.

On the next day, Cao Cao's army rushed to shoot dogs, when he heard that Xue Hong and Miao Shang would surrender to Yuan Shao, Shi Lian's 10,000 troops all died heroically, and the news that Turbid Deer City was slaughtered by Yuan Shao, Cao Cao couldn't help but be indignant, although he had done the slaughter of the city, but now the object of the slaughter was replaced by his own rule, he still felt intolerable, and immediately ordered the army to change into Su armor, presided over by himself, and sacrificed the vast number of soldiers and civilians who died in Turbid Deer City.

And just when Cao Cao's army was fighting against the enemy, Yuan Shao took the initiative to lead the army to the city of shooting dogs, demanding that Cao Cao return the territory he had lost, and send the Son of Heaven to Jizhou, otherwise, Turbidity Deer City would be their example.

Cao Cao was naturally furious when he heard this, and immediately categorically refused, and accused Yuan Shao of being fierce and cruel, miserable, and would suffer from God's curse if he did this unjustified evil act, and authorized Yuan Shao to quickly return to Jizhou with his troops, cultivate benevolent government, calm the hearts of the people, and respect the Son of Heaven, otherwise he would not die well.

Yuan Shao was furious when he heard this, and immediately ordered the siege of the city, but unexpectedly Cao Cao led the army to hold on, Yuan Shao lost 5,000 men and horses in vain, and finally failed to climb the head of the city where the dog was shot, and he had no choice but to retreat with hatred.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao led the army to come again, this time the two sides did not answer at all, and it was a siege battle, but this time Yuan Shao still lost two or three thousand men and horses, but he was still unable to attack the city, but Yuan Shao did not leave after Mingjin collected his troops, but ordered people to put one hundred and ten thunderbolts under the city, and then filled those thunderbolt car business circles with the heads of the dead soldiers and people, and threw them one by one on the city.

This move really brought a great shock to Cao Cao's army, and many soldiers looked at the heads of their own soldiers and people flying in the sky, and they all lost their fighting spirit in their hearts, and they were actually taken advantage of by Yuan Shao to enter the city again.

Looking at the Yuan army that was constantly attached to the ants, Cao Cao personally supervised the army to fight, and ordered his own soldiers to spread the message to the four city walls: "The enemy army is fierce and brutal, without humanity, if we all don't work hard, these dead soldiers and people will be our fate." ”

When Cao Cao's army heard this, they fought desperately to the death, and miraculously drove Yuan Shao's army to the city again.

At this moment, Cheng Yu suddenly offered a plan: "Prime Minister, now Yuan Shao is brutal, and he actually threw the dead soldiers and innocent corpses of our army into our army to intimidate, which is unbearable, and the last general will have a strange plan to break Yuan Shao and let his 80,000 army be self-defeating." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, so he asked what the plan was.

Seeing Cheng Yu whisper a few words in front of him, a trace of unbearability flashed on Cao Cao's face, but after some persuasion by Cheng Yu, he agreed.

After that, Cao Cao gathered the heads of the city together, and then buried them outside the city by night.

In the next few days, Yuan Shao sent troops to attack the city every day, but Cao Cao just led his troops to hold on, and did not show any difference, so the two sides entered a short phase of stalemate.

And just when Cao Yuan's army was holding each other inside and outside the shooting dogs, the Guanzhong area was in full swing, and Han Sui, with the help of Yang Fu, successfully persuaded Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi and other generals to lead more than 100,000 people in nine departments to prepare for a sneak attack on Ma Teng.

At the beginning, Ma Teng heard that Han Sui was a hero, so he abandoned his main general Geng and turned to Han Sui, at that time Han Sui particularly appreciated and respected Ma Teng, so he became brothers with different surnames, and later both were recruited by Dong Zhuo; After Dong Zhuo's death, the two worked together to attack Chang'an, and after the failure, Ma Teng retreated to Liangzhou with Han Sui.

But at this time, there were contradictions between them because of the friction between the territory and the tribes, first Ma Teng led his troops to attack Han Sui, and then Han Sui attacked Ma Teng and killed Ma Teng's wife.

Later, Zhong Miao calmed Guanzhong, trying to bridge the relationship between the two, but before the two reconciled, Guanzhong fell, Zhong Miao was captured and surrendered to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was extremely kind to Ma Teng, and appointed Ma Teng as the right Fufeng to help him deal with himself, Han Sui saw that Liu Bei and Ma Teng cooperated, the strength was strong, and the eagerness was unattainable, so he had to accept Liu Bei's construction, expressed his willingness to reconcile with Ma Teng, and was very respectful to Liu Bei, but in his heart he was deeply jealous of Liu Bei and Ma Teng.

At this time, Yang Fu advised Han Sui to take advantage of the void to attack Ma Teng, and promised to let him occupy Ma Teng's hometown, annex his deployment, and promise to deal with Liu Bei with him in the future, and later brought an edict from the imperial court and Cao Cao's letter, which further hinted that Han Sui could let him take Liu Bei's place as long as he drove Liu Bei away.

Han Sui was originally dissatisfied with Ma Teng and Liu Bei, but now he was driven by interests, so he agreed without hesitation, and he contacted the eight generals under his command and gathered more than 100,000 people from nine departments to jointly attack Ma Teng's garrison Huaili.

Ma Teng didn't expect Han Sui to attack him at all, plus he had sent his son Ma Chao, Ma Tie, and nephew Ma Dai to command more than 10,000 troops, and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu Hu Chuquan, and the state assassin Shi Gaogan and Si Li Captain Liu Bei jointly attacked Hedong County, the strength in the city was empty, and there were only more than 3,000 people to defend, so under the fierce attack of the other party, like a chicken and a dog, insisted on not having a cup of tea, the city was broken, Ma Teng and the second son Ma Xiu were besieged by Han Sui led the army, and finally could not escape, and finally all died in battle.

After Han Sui killed Ma Teng and Ma Xiu, he led his army into Huaili, and showed the imperial court order to everyone, and then started his right hand to help the wind.

Of course, Han Sui is also quite intelligent, so he naturally won't let the other eight soldiers and horses run in vain, and gave them a lot of materials and property, as well as some women in the city.

Although Yang Fu was dissatisfied with Han Sui's arbitrary abduction of the women in the city, first, because this was the best way for Han Sui to appease those thieves at present, and secondly, because Han Sui's practice of losing the hearts of the people was also conducive to the imperial court to recover this place in the future, so he did not persuade him.

Han Sui knew that although he killed Ma Teng, he still had Ma Teng's two sons and a nephew, especially his eldest son Ma Chao, although this person was young, but he was brave and invincible, and he was powerful and powerful, even if the Qiang and Xiongnu were very obedient to him, this person was definitely a great threat to himself, and it could even be said that as long as this person survived for a day, he would not be able to sit in the right side of the wind with peace of mind.

Therefore, Han Sui is currently trying his best to win over the generals of Liangzhou, and the main reason is that he wants to unite them to deal with Ma Chao.

After Han Sui successfully won over the eight generals, he began to design to deal with Ma Chao, he knew that Ma Chao would definitely lead the army to take revenge on him after hearing the bad news of his father, but he didn't know when Ma Chao would get the news, so he thought about it and directly sent a few sergeants, pretending to be Ma Teng's soldiers, and asked them to go to Pusaka to inform Ma Chao of the news that Ma Teng's family was killed, and then set up an ambush under Huaili City, preparing to ambush Ma Chao.

However, it is said that Ma Chao was ordered by his father to take his younger brother Ma Tie, his younger brother Ma Dai and his subordinate general Pang De and others, and joined Liu Bei, Hu Chuquan, Gao Gan and others to attack Cao Cao's Hedong County, and the 70,000 people of the four-way coalition army shook the sky.

Ma Chao was responsible for attacking the most difficult Tongguan area, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, although he and his generals are very brave in battle, riding and archery kung fu alone in the world, but still blocked for ten days, until recently successfully entered Pusaka.

"Yesterday Gao Bingzhou sent a letter, dating us to encircle Anyi within half a month, as long as Anyi is taken, Hedong will be in the hands of our coalition army, we have wasted a lot of time attacking Tongguan before, this time we must be good at Xiàn, take the lead in attacking Anyi, so that Gao Bingzhou, Liu Sili and the Huns can also see the warriors of my Xiliang."

Ma Chao was discussing the military situation with Ma Dai, Ma Tie, Pang De and others, and suddenly heard a report from the soldiers: "General Qiqi, there are soldiers under the command of the old general who came to report the news outside the account, and the last general saw that their expressions were very anxious, presumably something big happened." ”

"Quickly invite them in." Ma Chao's face sank, and he ordered.

Just a moment later, I saw a few soldiers come in, crying and worshiping: "General, the big thing is not good, Han Sui led the army to raid Huaili last night, the old general was not prepared, died in battle, and the second general was killed by Han Sui, and now Han Sui appointed himself as the right Fufeng, and is about to raise troops to attack Pusaka, and wipe out the general." ”

"What?" Hearing this news, Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others couldn't help but look dark, and almost fainted.
