About thirty miles east of Jieting, a cavalry army was advancing rapidly, and Xiahou Yuan of the Chinese army looked at the west with a very solemn expression on his face.

"General!" Xiahou Yuan saw that a horse from the front army was coming quickly, and it was the scout he had sent out at the right time, and his eyebrows immediately jumped involuntarily. "General, there are already enemy troops stationed in Jieting, about twenty or thirty thousand people. Look at the banner, it is Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, the left general under Liu Bei! According to the people in the vicinity, the enemy army arrived in the afternoon of the fifth day. "Someone came to report in detail.

"Got it!" Xiahou Yuan waved his hand, signaling that he understood what was going on. Although he was very calm on the surface, Xiahou Yuan was still a little shocked in his heart. I didn't expect the other party to seize the important place of the street pavilion so early, and I was still a step too late to catch up, and now I am a little passive. Although Han Sui is nothing, once he is defeated by Ma Teng and Liu Bei, it will be even more difficult for Houguanzhong to deal with the enemy forces of Xiliang and Xichuan.

"Full speed ahead!" Xiahou Yuan gave an order, and 30,000 iron horsemen rushed to the street pavilion at the fastest speed. With the street pavilion as the boundary, Longxi and Guanzhong are divided into east and west. Xiahou Yuan in the east of the gate pounced on the street pavilion like a wild dog, and Han Sui of Liangzhou in the west was not having a good time at the moment.

"What did you say, Ma Play and Yang Qiu both surrendered to Ma Chao?" Han Qi looked at Cheng Gongying in front of him, and said in disbelief, his voice was hoarse and unspeakable.

Han Sui is different from Ma Teng, Ma Teng's subordinates are basically composed of his own lineage and relatives, as well as people from the Baqiang tribe who are friendly with him. Although Han Sui also had some friendship with a few small-scale Qiang tribes, most of the Qiang tribes were not like him, and the eight largest tribes of the Qiang tribe, namely the Eight Qiang tribes, were all Ma Teng's sworn friends. However, Han Sui was able to gain a foothold in Xiliang, which also has its own uniqueness. He had a deep friendship with the other eight small Han warlords, and the nine of them formed a small military alliance, with Han Sui himself being the largest. Han Sui himself had 20,000 horses, and these eight small warlords were Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin, Candidate, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and Liang Xing. These eight people may have three or four thousand, or one or two thousand, and they are all nominally based on Han Sui. In peacetime, everyone is in their own positions, and they will unite when there is a war. When Han Sui wanted to deal with Ma Teng, he made an appointment with the eight of them to join forces.

"Exactly, both of them were deceived out of the city by Ma Chao with the old general's letter, and as a result, they were lured into an ambush, and they were outnumbered and had to surrender!" Cheng Gongying sighed. He is a rare resourceful man in Xiliang, Ma Teng doesn't pay much attention to him, but Han Sui looks at him quite a lot. After taking Xiliang, Han Sui immediately appointed him as the Taishou of Longxi, and he was the Taishou of Jincheng, and even his son Han Qi and son-in-law Yan Xing did not have this treatment.

"How can such a thing happen?" Han Sui's eyebrows also jumped when he heard this, and Yan Xing on the side also frowned slightly: "Regardless of anything else, Ma Chao is a brave man, how could he deceive the two generals out of the city and trap them separately?" ”

"I think so too, according to the Tanmalai newspaper, after Ma Chao entered Xiliang, he contacted the Baqiang Department to raise troops, and at the same time sent people to imitate General Han's letter to deceive the two generals. The former is okay, but the latter is not as good as a human being, and someone must have made suggestions for it. Cheng Gongying frowned.

"Not good!" Han Sui suddenly came to his senses: "Since he can trick Ma Play and Liang Xing, I'm afraid that Cheng Yin and they are about to be lured out by him!" As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed. Cheng Yin and others were either in Longxi in the east or in Wuwei counties in the west. If Ma Chao defeated them one by one, then in the end, he would be left with the lone army of Jincheng, and he would have to sit back and wait for death.

At this moment, a bloodied soldier rushed through the door, and before the DPRK and South Korea could say "urgent military information", he fainted.

"I know him, he is Cheng Yin's general!" Yan Xing immediately recognized the person, Han Sui ordered someone to search him, and after a while, he took out a letter from his arms, which was already soaked in sweat. Han Sui opened it and saw that it was Cheng Yin's handwritten letter. In the letter, Cheng Yin told Han Sui that he was now besieged by tens of thousands of horses led by Ma Chao in Wuxiang City in Longxi County, and he was already a little overwhelmed, and now he sent his own generals to fight out of the siege and report the news. If Han Sui doesn't come to the rescue, he will last for more than ten days at most and then stop eating.

Wuxiangcheng is Cheng Yin's base camp, and it is also relatively close to Jincheng, and now Cheng Yin, who was originally east of Jincheng, is besieged, and the rest of Ma Yu and Yang Qiu both surrendered, and Han Sui suffered heavy losses all of a sudden. As for whether to send troops to rescue Cheng Yin, Rao is Han Sui was a change of opportunity, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while. If it is saved, it will be a decisive battle with Ma Chao and Longxi, and it may not be able to win. If you don't save it, once Cheng Yin is also killed, the next target will be yourself.

"Lord, it seems that you still need to ask General Xiahou Yuan for help!" At this time, Cheng Gongying admonished. Han Sui hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "Right now, the fierce battle in Longxi is in full swing, and General Xiahou is afraid that he may not be able to come to help in the war!" ”

"At this point, you can only ask for help first, it's better than sitting and waiting. It's just that Cheng Yin is on his side now, what should he do? Yan Xing asked after hesitating. Han Sui frowned for a long time when he heard this, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Now that the situation is urgent, don't worry about him." In addition, send someone to inform Liang Xing and them immediately, come to Jincheng to meet us and others, and don't be broken by Ma Chao again! ”

In the afternoon of the same day, several messengers set out from Jincheng to Wuwei, Dunhuang, and Jiuquan counties, and informed the remaining five people including Zhang Heng to come. What these messengers didn't know was that as soon as they left Jincheng, someone flew a pigeon to inform Ma Chao in Longxi.

"Xiaozhi, as you expected, Han Sui's old thief ordered the remaining five to go to Jincheng. It seems that he wants to hold on to Jincheng and wait for Xiahou Yuan's reinforcements! After Ma Chao read the flying pigeon biography, he was excited.

"If that's the case, the general can immediately send troops to ambush!" Fa Zheng said with a smile. Although Zhao Yun on the side didn't speak, he couldn't help but admire his strategy in his heart after seeing that he was right. Before this battle, Fa Zheng followed Han Sui's handwriting and wrote a letter to lure Ma Wan and Yang Qiu to go to Jincheng, but Ma Chao set up an ambush halfway and solved the two groups. Later, after converging with the Baqiang Division, the army besieged Wuxiang City again, but deliberately let Cheng Yin's generals go to report the news, and then take the opportunity to act.

"Han Sui is insidious and cunning, and he will not take risks to save Cheng Yin, so he naturally informed Zhang Heng and others to go to Jincheng to meet, gather everyone's strength to fight against the general, and wait for Xiahou Yuan's reinforcements. We will immediately send troops to Jincheng and destroy the five reinforcements called by Han Sui one by one! Fa Zheng said with a smile. At that moment, Ma Chao left Ma Dai to lead an army of 5,000 to continue to attack Wuxiangcheng, and he, Zhao Yun and Fa Zheng gathered the Baqiang Department and his old department, as well as Ma Wan and Yang Qiu's army, totaling more than 40,000 people, and went to Jincheng to kill.

"Father-in-law, Ma Chao has killed him!" Two days later, in Jincheng, Yan Xing looked at the dense army under the city, and Yan Xing couldn't help but feel a little hairy. Jincheng is the base camp of the Ma family, although after taking Jincheng, Han Sui also moved his base camp here, but the hearts of the people have not yet been attached in the short term. It wouldn't be great if someone responded to Ma Chao's internal and external cooperation.

In the afternoon of the same day, the enemy army suddenly shot more than 1,000 letters of persuasion into the city, claiming that Ma Chao had only come to settle accounts with Han Sui, and the rest of the people did not care. As long as the two don't help each other, then they won't embarrass you after the war. If anyone can tie up Han Sui's father and son and send them, then there will be a good reward. Although most of these more than 1,000 letters were destroyed by Han Sui, the hearts of the people in Jincheng were inevitably impetuous.

"Xiaozhi, why do you say this Han Sui is in Jincheng, his lair is in Wuwei!" Under the city of Jincheng, Ma asked Fa Zheng with a grin. The latter smiled slightly and said, "The reason why Han Sui wants to unite Xiahou Yuan with the old general as an enemy is to dominate Xiliang. Jincheng is the capital of Xiliang and the foundation of the Ma family. Only when he enters Jincheng can he gain a firm foothold in Xiliang. ”

"Presumably so!" Ma Chao also nodded, and at this time, the people of Zhang Heng and Li Kan were not far from Jincheng, and the rest of the generals also came one after another.

"All the generals will meet the enemy with me!" As soon as Ma Chao heard that it was the enemy who came, he immediately came to his senses and immediately gathered troops and horses to kill the troops back and forth.

After Zhang Heng and Li Kan received Han Sui's handwritten letter, they knew that Ma Chao came back to settle accounts with them, and they didn't dare to slack off knowing Ma Chao's surname, knowing that they were not Ma Chao's opponents, so they led all their troops to Jincheng to meet Han Sui, wanting to gather everyone's strength to compete with Ma Chao again.

"Ma Chao!" Just dozens of miles away from Jincheng, but found that someone had already killed on the other side, Li Kan's eyes were the sharpest, and he immediately saw that the flag was Ma Chao's, and suddenly his pupils contracted involuntarily.

"Li Kan Zhang Heng, return quickly, I can spare you from dying!" It was Ma Chao himself who was proud of his power in front of the prancing horse, Li Kan and Zhang Heng glanced at each other, and they both felt that cold sweat was falling down their heads. At this moment, there was also the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and everyone looked stunned, but it was Cheng Yi and Liang Xing who also happened to lead the army to arrive.

"Ma Chao?" Cheng Yi and Liang Xing also broke into a cold sweat after seeing the situation clearly, and the four of them looked at each other for a long time, but when they saw Ma Chao single-handedly showing off his might in front of the formation and persuading them to surrender, they didn't take them seriously at all. When the four of them looked at Ma Chao's arrogant face, they all felt very stressed.

"Damn Ma Chao, Lao Tzu fought with you!" But Liang Xing couldn't bear the pressure, gritted his teeth and immediately stepped forward to fight with Ma Chao, and the other three hurriedly tried to stop it, but it was too late, so they could only watch Liang Xing go to die. Ma Chao looked at Liang Xing, who was rushing towards him with a hideous face, but there was a bloodthirsty sneer on his face.

After going to the city with Han Qi and others to see the situation in the distance, Yan Xing suddenly said: "Father-in-law, it seems that Ma Chao and General Liang are facing them, and now that Ma Chao is not here, there is no one to command the troops and horses of the Baqiang Department under the city, why not let the son-in-law take the opportunity to break it to deal with General Liang and them?" ”

"Huh?" Han Suitian's surname is Liangbo, and he doesn't know why his son-in-law is suddenly so hot to save Liang Xing. Looking at Yan Xing's expression again, Han Sui suddenly understood that Yan Xing didn't want to save Liang Xing, but just wanted to take the opportunity to defeat the Baqiang army and horses under the city, so that he would defend the city in the future, and the pressure he would face would be less. Han Sui still knows the strength of his son-in-law, Xiliang is no one except Ma Chao is his opponent, and neither can Ma Dai and Pang De.

"Okay, son-in-law be careful!" Han Sui immediately agreed to Yan Xing's suggestion, and at that moment Yan Xing ordered 10,000 horses, suddenly opened the city gate and killed the enemy army under the city.

"Huh?" As soon as Han Sui came out of the city gate, he suddenly found that a general had also come out of the opponent's formation, and led the army to intercept him head-on, and it seemed that he should be the leader of the army. Yan Xingyi was bold, and he didn't take him very seriously, so he immediately asked, "Who is coming?" In his heart, he made up his mind to behead him first, and then defeat the Baqiang tribe in one fell swoop.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong!" The person who came said lightly, and he didn't seem to take Yan Xing in his eyes. Yan Xing couldn't help but feel unhappy when he heard this, and with a cold snort, he drove forward to fight with him.
