Chapter 8: The Old Minister's Stoppage

Although Ma Teng scolded Han Sui in the formation and asked Han Sui to come out to confront him, in fact, Han Sui had already been escorted away by Yan Xing.

This is Wudu County, but Ma Teng's territory, no matter how stupid Han Sui is, he understands that if he continues to stay here, he will inevitably give Ma Teng a chance to make dumplings.

The battle lasted from late night until dawn, and when Ma Teng killed Han Sui's army, he found that Han Sui had long since disappeared. Ma Teng is angry! actually ran away for Han Sui, a righteous child. But Ma Teng was helpless, Han Sui ran away, and he could only face Liu Xiejun alone.

"Father, what now?" Ma Chao glanced at Ma Teng with some concern, and said: "Let's tear our faces with Han Wen, if he fights us with Emperor Xiaoxian again......" Ma Chao's words were not finished, but Ma Teng naturally understood.

If Han Sui really attacked him with Liu Xie, then his pressure would be much greater. But he didn't regret it, even if he didn't tear his face, Han Sui might go with him to turn back, and now it was much better than waiting until the critical moment when he stabbed him in the back.

Ma Teng gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "He wants to be beautiful in Hanwen!" Since he won't make me feel better, then we don't have to make him comfortable! Go, send someone to summon the soldiers and horses of Fuxian and Qiang Dao, give up Wudu, and solve Han Wenyue's treacherous villain first! ”

Ma Chao paused, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back, and finally hugged his fists and sang, turned around and left the camp.

Watching Ma Chao leave, Ma Teng's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly. At this time, Ma Teng did not have the eight generals under him, in history. At this time, those eight generals are still making trouble in Guanzhong! However, because of the deviation of history, these eight generals who made a rebellion. has been incorporated by Li Guo and the others, and they have both been knighted.

Yes. There are not many talents that Ma Teng's subordinates can use. Compared with Liu Xie, it is much worse.

……

Ma Han turned his eyes again, and the news soon reached the ears of Liu Xie and Xu Huang, and the two people who got the news laughed in different places.

After Xu Huang led the army out of Qishan, he was blocked by Ma Teng's army. There was a small fight near Qiang Road, and each had damage. At this time, Liu Xiefei sent a letter to Xu Huang, asking him to suspend the attack and wait for the opportunity.

Flying pigeons is a means of communication proposed by Liu Xie, but in fact, this means of communication was not invented by Liu Xie. Because before that. Jia Xu told him that Dong Feifei had used this thing to teach him, and with this thing, he could seize the opportunity.

Yes. When Liu Xie was recruiting all kinds of talents, he sent people to pay special attention to talents in this area.

Really. It didn't take long to find some talented people who knew how to train pigeons and falcons.

As a result, the Military Aircraft Department began to secretly train carrier pigeons and eagles. It is now in use.

After Xu Huang received Liu Xie's news, he did not continue to be greedy. Instead, calm down and wait for an opportunity. Sure enough, he didn't have to wait long to receive such good news. Han Ma turned his back, then the soldiers and horses stationed in Qiang Dao would definitely not stay anymore, and as long as they retreated, then his opportunity would come.

Xu Huang looked at Lu Su and asked with a smile: "Zijing, do you know what your majesty is doing?" can actually make Han Ma turn against him again! ”

Guan Yu, who was also in the tent, also looked at Lu Su, he was actually quite curious. Although it is good to attack Xiliang, he also understands that Han and Ma have a total of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and most of them are cavalry, fighting in the field, the mobility of cavalry should take a big advantage, and if there are no good countermeasures, it is very dangerous.

Now that Han Ma is turning against each other, there is only one Ma Teng left, and everyone's pressure can be reduced a lot.

Lu Su is also a deputy military aircraft, one of the three leaders of the military aircraft department, Liu Xie made such a plan, Lu Su is unreasonable and unclear.

However, Lu Su smiled and shook his head, "I don't know much about this matter." The previous plan was how to minimize the losses if the battle was unfavorable. The situation of the war is ever-changing, and it is impossible to estimate it in advance, but the worst outcome can be calculated from the strength of both sides...... It is relatively simple to calculate how many soldiers and horses and how much grain and grass to use. Therefore, this plan should have been improvised by His Majesty and Guo Xijiu! ”

Seeing the noncommittal looks on Xu Huang and Guan Yu's faces, Lu Su smiled: "Actually, this shouldn't be difficult to guess!" His Majesty beat Ma Er so badly, and then let him go back, which shows that His Majesty will definitely take this opportunity to reduce the trust between Ma and Han. And what we have to do is to take advantage of the situation to pursue! However, we are all infantry, and it is too difficult to pursue the cavalry, and we need to think about it in the long run! ”

So, the three of them began to discuss how to use the infantry to pursue the cavalry. There is no good way to ride on foot except to take advantage of the terrain.

……

And Liu Xie's side, after getting the news, began to set up an ambush on the other party's retreat, waiting for Ma Dai and Pang De's retreat.

did not disappoint Liu Xie, when they had just laid the ambush, Ma Dai and Pang De had already received the news. Although their way of delivering information is a little too backward, it is actually only a few hundred miles from Xia Wei to Fu County.

was ambushed by Liu Xie again, and the more than 17,000 cavalry led by Ma Dai and Pang De only ran about 10,000...... However, Ma Dai and Pang De ran away, which made Liu Xie feel a little pity. After all, Ma Dai and Pang De are not as dead-eyed as Ma Chao, although they may not be able to surrender for a while, but as long as Ma Teng is defeated, these two can be completely co-opted.

But thinking about it, Liu Xie thinks it's good again, let Ma Teng and Han Sui die!

Looking back, Liu Xie led the army to attack Fu County, and when Liu Xie returned to Fu County, the county order of Fu County directly opened the city and surrendered.

"Sinners Wang Ling, knock on Your Majesty, long live our emperor!" Wang Ling said and gave Liu Xie a big gift.

Behind him, he was followed by many county officials.

Liu Xie dismounted, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Wang County's order doesn't have to be like this, you are a thief, isn't this the opportunity?" Your matter, Yang Junshi has already told me, let's get even! Let's all be on the safe side! ”

Wang Ling is a native of Wudu County and a member of the Wang clan of Wudu County. When Ma Teng wanted to conquer Yang Fu, Yang Fu refused and went to Yizhou to participate in the imperial examination. Although Wang Ling also wanted to go, he was persuaded by the Wang clan.

Because Wudu County is Ma Teng's territory, there will be no less natural interests with Ma Teng, so Wang Ling has no choice but to agree to Ma Teng's expedition and go to Fu County to be the county commander. The entire Wudu County, Tianshui County, Anding County, and Beidi County, these belong to Ma Teng's power territory, and all officials, who are not satisfied with Ma Teng, have almost been replaced by Ma Teng. Liu Xie is not worried about this at all, he believes that as long as Ma Teng's army is defeated, these clans who only have interests will definitely follow him.

In fact, Yang Fu had already made contact with Wang Ling, and even if Ma Han didn't turn his back, Liu Xie would give Ma Dai and Pang De a good drink.

But Ma Han directly turned against him, which also saved Liu Xie a lot of trouble. The two of them turned against each other, which is the most beneficial to Liu Xie.

After taking Fu County, Liu Xie did not rush to attack, but rested in Fu County for two days before leading his troops to Hechi.

When Liu Xie led the army to Hechi, halfway through, an official stopped him on the road, calling him an old minister of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Xie was strange, he stepped forward immediately, and when he saw this somewhat familiar figure in front of him, he couldn't remember it for a while. After searching in the memory of his mind for a long time, he reacted, hurriedly dismounted, helped him up, and said with emotion: "Huangfu Aiqing, please be flat, I don't know why Aiqing is here?" ”

This Huangfu Aiqing is none other than Huangfu Song's subordinate Huangfu Li. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had suggested that Huangfu Song should get rid of Dong Feifei who did not obey the edict, and later he Liu Xie was coerced by Li Guo to Chang'an, and when Li Guo and the two turned against each other, he Liu Xie sent him to persuade peace, but to no avail, he scolded loudly, and as a result, he angered Li Dao, and when Liu Xie heard the news, he was so frightened that he sent Huangfu Li back to his hometown. And Huangfu Li's hometown is in Xiliang.

It's just that Liu Xie never thought that he would see Huangfu Li here, or that Huangfu Li would actually stop him here.

Huangfu Li was only in his thirties at this time, and he couldn't help but not go to Yizhou to find himself, which made Liu Xie a little impressed with him.

Speaking of which, after he moved the capital to Chengdu, the former ministers also came to take refuge. However, for those who are not well-known in history, Liu Xie basically depends on the amount of talent and does not give them much care. And many more former ministers did not come to vote for him.

For example, when he was in Huayin, he suggested that he kill Duan Xuan's seed series, Yang Ding, etc.

If Huangfu Li had come to look for him before, he would have used Huangfu Li, after all, Huangfu Li was also a loyal minister. And he is loyal and upright, Liu Xie still likes him a lot. However, now that he actually appeared here, he even came to surrender with a group of officials, which made Liu Xie secretly praise this guy for having eyes.

"Your Majesty, the grass people learned that His Majesty personally led the army to come, and they couldn't sleep at night, looking forward to His Majesty's great victory, and heard that Ma Han and the two thieves turned against him, and had withdrawn his troops from Wudu County, and Wudu County Taishou abandoned the official and left, so he led a cadre of Wudu County to meet His Majesty, and asked His Majesty to move down the debate and take a break to recuperate......"

Liu Xie laughed and said: "Huangfu Aiqing's move makes me feel that it is really a long drought and a sweet rain!" Since the Taishou of Wudu County has abandoned the official and left, I wonder if Huangfu Aiqing is willing to replace him and guard this Wudu County for me? ”

An excited look flashed in Huangfu Li's eyes, and his face flushed a little. Liu Xie saw it in his eyes, and he didn't say anything, he smiled secretly in his heart, Huangfu Li did this, just to increase his political bargaining chips. And Liu Xie is also very willing to see such a person appear and settle Wudu County for him.

"Grass People...... Weichen, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen! Long live our emperor! (To be continued......)
