Chapter 402: Ma Chao raised troops
Just when Ye Mo was in a crisis, another crisis was also approaching the big man.
The death of the Yizhou envoy made Ma Chao furious. No matter how Ma Dai persuaded him, he still couldn't stop Ma Chao's idea of wanting to send troops to Luoyang.
At this time, Guo Jia and Xu Shu turned a blind eye to Ma Chao's thoughts.
Because these two people know that Ma Chao has never been a person who is willing to bow to others. In addition, Ma Chao has just finished avenging his father's revenge, how can Ma Chao continue to lower his arrogant head at this time
At this time, the envoy he sent to Luoyang was killed inexplicably, and in the end, Luoyang did not give any explanation.
With this reason, Ma Chao can completely send troops to Luoyang City.
In the past, when Ma Chao was in Xiliang, the imperial army in Tongguan didn't even dare to send troops behind to pick up cheap, so in Ma Chao's eyes, it was naturally those people who were so scummy in combat effectiveness.
In the face of such an opponent, what is Ma Chao to be afraid of
And Ma Chao's strength has increased a lot after avenging his father. First, it was Ma Chao's subordinates who were originally under the command of Jizhou who transformed from recruits to veterans after the war. On the other hand, Ma Chao also recruited a large number of soldiers in Xiliang.
Today's Ma Chao, with more than 200,000 soldiers, is definitely an out-and-out prince of the Han Dynasty.
It's just that Guo Jia and Xu Shu understand that if Ma Chao at this time is against Ye Mo, the odds of winning are less than one point. Of course, the premise is that these two people don't know Ye Mo's current state.
Although Guo Jia defected to Ma Chao very early, Guo Jia has never given up paying attention to the news of the imperial court.
Ye Mo is the goal that Guo Jia has always wanted to surpass. But looking at Ye Mo's fierce achievements, Guo Jia is very self-aware. At this time, if he ran into Ye Mo, he would definitely not be pleased.
All, Guo Jia's thoughts about Ma Chao now. I don't want to stop it at all. As long as Ma Chao is not frustrated, it is impossible for Ma Chao to stay in Yizhou, the land of abundance, to develop his strength with peace of mind.
It's just that Guo Jia didn't expect that Ma Chao was in big trouble in Tongguan.
Tongguan is an important pass linking the Central Plains and the Xiliang region. With Tongguan in hand, the imperial court will be able to maintain a threat to the Xiliang region and even Yizhou at any time. If Tongguan is lost. Then the imperial court could only rely on Hangu Pass to confront Ma Chao.
So, in Tongguan. has a big trump card in Ye Mo's hand: go to the camp first.
At the same time, Tongguan also has a future top strategist who is slowly growing: Fa Zheng.
But on Ma Chao's side, Ma Chao just borrowed anger to raise troops, but Guo Jia and Xu Shu didn't work hard and played soy sauce.
Moreover, this season is winter. Although this winter is a warm winter, it is still winter after all, especially in the northwest region of this big Han. Typical place to drink the northwest wind every day.
In three days, Ma Chao lost three games in a row outside Tongguan, not to mention the loss of soldiers, and he didn't even go up to the city wall of Tongguan.
"Big brother, now that he has lost three games in a row, the soldiers below are already in love. It's better to withdraw the troops here, so that the soldiers below will not have too many complaints. Ma Dai saw Ma Chao return to the barracks with a black face again. Immediately greeted again.
It's just that Ma Chao is in a hurry at this time, and when he sees Ma Dai say this, where would he think that Ma Dai is a kind reminder
"Shut up, those pieces of shit, they're so useless. Tomorrow. I'm going to put on my armor and go into battle myself" Ma Chao naturally didn't do anything to Ma Dai, and immediately sprinkled all the anger in his heart on the heads of his soldiers.
However, fortunately, at this time, those generals in Yizhou are not there, otherwise, I don't know how many people will be chilled.
In Tongguan, Koji Yi was also frowning at this time. Although it is said that the attacks of Yizhou soldiers have been repelled in the past three days, it has been three days. Tongguan is also a big loss.
"Strategist, you say what to do next, what should we do" In the past three days, Tongguan can be held, and Fa Zheng has contributed a lot. If it weren't for the strategy of the law, Tongguan would have fallen into the hands of the enemy.
You must know that the defenders of Tongguan are limited after all. However, the Yizhou army outside the pass took turns to fight, minimizing its own casualties, not to mention, and once brought huge trouble to the soldiers guarding the pass.
Fa Zheng actually didn't come up with any good attention at this time. Although it gave the officers and soldiers defending the city more advantages, it also minimized the impact of Yiqiē's strategy.
"General, the only way to do this now is to inform Lord Ye as much as possible and let him send reinforcements. At the same time, the defenders of Hangu Pass can also come to support. With the strength of Tongguan, it is not a big problem to hold it for another ten days and half a month. Fa Zheng pondered for a while, but still made the safest decision.
Koji Yi saw that he was about to ask Luoyang for help, but he didn't want to agree at first. As soon as this letter asking for help arrived in Ye Mo's hands, then Lu Yi's ability was worth questioning.
But at this time, it is not the time to consider whether your ability is recognized by others, whether Tongguan can be held, this is the key question.
However, it is precisely because of Fa Zheng's decision that Tongguan is still in the hands of the imperial court in the end.
Ye Mo received the news that Tongguan had been attacked by the Yizhou army, and that was a week after he returned to Luoyang.
And when he first saw the messenger, Ye Mo just replied with an "oh", which made the messenger very confused. However, when he went out to blindly worship the ability of "Ye Banxian", the messenger directly thought that Ye Mo did not mean to put the Yizhou army in his eyes at all.
Although the messenger of Nayizhou didn't know what Ye Mo meant, Ye Fu and Ye Que knew very well that Ye Mo had no idea in his mind about the attack on Tongguan that the messenger said.
Three days after the messenger rushed back to deliver the news, Ye Mo still stayed in the Ye Mansion and never even went out.
Even the system has things that can't be solved, and he Ye Mo has passed Tongguan, what problems can he solve
Finally, on the tenth day after Ye Mo returned to Luoyang, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi came to visit.
When these three people visited, Ye Mo naturally couldn't hide from him. It's just that when he was meeting guests, Ye Mo's face was surprisingly bad.
With heavy dark circles under his eyes, pale complexion, and decadent temperament, Ye Mo looked like an old man with an aging dragon clock.
Seeing Ye Mo like this, the three of them were shocked. How could they have guessed that Ye Mo, who was rumored to be like a "butcher" in Luoyang City, gave people the feeling that he was actually a dying person. To be continued.
