Towards the end of the month, the army of the Western Expedition has come to the city of Chang'an, and the army has set up a large camp in Weiqiao, and is building siege equipment to prepare for the siege at the beginning of the month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the big tent of the Chinese army, generals from all walks of life gathered together to discuss military affairs.
Liu Zhi was a general of the Han Dynasty, so he naturally sat in the main seat, while Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the vanguard of the Western Expedition, sat in the second seat, and at this time, Cao Cao was giving a speech.
"General, now that the Xiliang Army is newly defeated, and the defense of Chang'an City is empty, I think that our army should immediately launch an attack on the enemy and besiege Chang'an City, so as not to take the opportunity to escape."
Liu Zhi looked at him and asked, "Why did General Meng De say this, didn't my army agree with Xiliang Ma Teng to march together at the beginning of next month?" At this time, if you march in advance, there will be a breach of contract, and the preparations for the siege are not sufficient, and there may be accidents in a hurry, so you must be on guard. ”
Cao Cao was a little anxious, and said: "General, Ma Teng's heart is towards the Han, this is true, but Han Sui of the Xiliang Army is absolutely untrustworthy, this person in the second year of Zhongping under the banner of killing eunuchs once entered the Beijing Division, the general Huangpu Song, Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo are not his opponents, for a time the court shook, the border is uneasy, it can be said that he really created a precedent for the border army to enter the Central Plains, this person has always been opposed, his morality is not credible, therefore, Cao Cao suspects that this person has repeatedly postponed the time to send troops, I'm afraid that I have already had contact with Li Dao and others in secret, and finally saw that after the imperial army defeated Fan Chou, I finally made a decision, how can such a grass-like person be trusted. ”
The generals in the tent also whispered, obviously a little worried about what Cao Cao said, but Liu Zhi smiled and said: "General Meng De don't worry, I have something here that you must be very interested in!" ”
Said that the person asked people to take out a wooden box and handed it to Cao Cao's hand, Cao Cao's face was different, he only felt that the wooden box was a little heavy, it seemed that the contents were very heavy, he opened the lid of the wooden box, and then saw the contents of the hand shake, almost fell the wooden box to the ground.
"Brother Meng De, what is in this wooden box, why is my brother so alarmed?"
Liu Bei had a good relationship with Cao Cao, the two fought side by side for a period of time, and the foundation was also cultivated, at this time, seeing Cao Cao's face change greatly, Liu Bei asked anxiously.
Hearing this, Cao Cao tilted the opening of the wooden box a little in Liu Bei's direction, and said, "Brother Xian, take a look too!" ”
Liu Bei fixed his eyes, was startled, and shouted: "How can there be a human head here, whose human head is it?" ”
They were all people who had been trained on the battlefield, and they should have no reaction to the corpses, but they didn't expect that there would be a human head in it before they looked at the contents of the wooden box, so they were so surprised.
Liu Zhi smiled and replied: "General Meng De was still worried about Han Sui in Xiliang just now, No, Han Sui's head is already here, so I won't worry about it now!" ”
Of course, Liu Zhi was very uneasy, so he had secretly sent Zhang Xiu to Ma Teng's army, using the friendship between his father Zhang Ji and Ma Teng to persuade Ma Teng to kill Han Sui, Ma Teng had rebelled with Han Sui before, and knew that if he didn't do this vote, he was afraid that he would not be able to wash away the stigma on his body in the future, and Han Sui was not his sworn brother at this time, so his friendship with Han Sui was not very deep, so he agreed to this plan.
Ma Teng deceived Han Sui into the tent under the pretext of discussing military affairs, and then the ambushed knife and axe men poured out and chopped Han Sui's subordinates into pulp, and Han Sui himself died in the hands of the knife and axe hands, and his head was naturally packed and sent to Liu Zhi.
As soon as Han Sui died, Cao Cao's worries were gone, so the army prepared for war step by step, and in Chang'an City, after receiving the news that Han Sui was killed, Li Wei felt cold in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, when Han Sui was still there before, it was possible to put a hole in his army, but now that Han Sui is dead, Ma Teng controls Han Sui's army again, and they want to pass from Fufeng County, it will be very difficult.
It's just that to the north of Chang'an is the turbulent Jing River and Weishui, to the south is the Nanshan (Qinling in the Han Dynasty's name), and to the east is the more than 200,000 imperial army that is eyeing each other, their only choice is to go west, and now the mouth in the west has been blocked, they can be said to be cornered.
Li Wei knew in his heart that holding on to Chang'an would only be a dead end, but if he went out to fight with the imperial army, he would be attacked by the enemy army from the other direction, so he decided to take a gamble and break through from the west.
On August 29th, at night, the Xiliang army quietly left from Chang'an City, advancing in the direction of martial arts, Li Wei's intention was obvious, that is, to take advantage of the enemy army before the siege, break through from the west, he had received the news, the enemy army will come tomorrow to attack the city, and the night before the battle, the enemy's defense will definitely be lax, he did not dare to go to Weiqiao and the imperial army to fight, because the number of enemy troops in Weiqiao is too large, and the defense is well-organized, he can't find too good opportunities, but the Ma Teng army in the west is different, They are all Xiliang Army, and they know each other well, so they have a greater grasp.
The 80,000 Xiliang army quietly marched westward, and soon crossed the waterlogging, Li Wei was a little worried, but because it was the end of the month, there was no moon in the night sky today, and it was pitch black at night, which was of great help to their breakthrough.
Three hours later, the army finally arrived at Wugong, at this time it was the third watch, Ma Teng's army was sleeping deeply, Li Dao was overjoyed, it seemed that their actions had not been exposed, and tonight's night attack was only going to be successful.
Li Wei immediately confessed, all the soldiers were ready to attack, after rushing into the enemy camp, immediately set fire to the camp, and take advantage of the chaos to let go of the horses of Ma Teng's army, in this way, even if they could not pursue, if they were not worried that the imperial army in the east would rush to reinforcements after getting the news, he even wanted to annihilate Ma Teng's army here, so that when they fled to Qinghai, the pressure they would face would be much less, and there would be no cavalry to pose a threat to them at that time.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army suddenly launched an attack, and the camp of Ma Teng immediately remembered the alarm bell of "bell bell", the cavalry of the Xiliang Army rushed into Ma Teng's camp with the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, and the soldiers were ready to set fire everywhere, but they were surprised to find that the camp was empty, and the war horses in the stables had long since disappeared.
Li Dao's heart was not good, and he was just about to give the order to retreat, when he heard a bang sound around him, and instantly lit a circle of torches, and there were countless red dots in the dark night from far and near, and they smashed towards them like meteors falling to the ground in the night sky, and he reacted at once, it was the enemy's rocket!
