Chapter 208: Ma Han, who is beyond his strength

As soon as the tail of the Tan Hyeon Mahan people was struck down, they not only stopped the plan to land in the south to meet the Zhou Zabu, but even demanded that Tao Kan in the north not attack the capital of Baekje without permission.

Tao Kan saw the caution of the Baekje people clearly, Ma Han had just won a battle, and his morale was high, and his self-confidence was a little inflated. The Mahan people believed that they could defeat the Baekje people without the help of the Jin army, and they coveted the wealth of Baekje.

Especially the capital of Baekje, where it is said to be full of gold and silver, where the wealth of the whole country is hoarded, how could the Mahan people let the Great Jin take the lead?

However, Ma Han's people were careful to play into Tao Kan's arms, the capital of Baekje was tall, and there were nearly 100,000 troops in it, even if the Ma Han people didn't say it, Tao Kan would not attack there easily.

Tao Kan could sit still, but his generals couldn't sit still! Yao Gezhong hurriedly found the commander and said, "General, it doesn't matter if our army withdraws, but if Ma Han takes the capital of Baekje, then how can we explain to the emperor when we go back?" ”

What Yao Gezhong said is very reasonable, the Great Jin army came to Baekje and went back without fighting, where is the face? ! There are even some low-level generals who feel that they should not follow Tao Kan, and they have not made an indifference in a battle. Tao Kan had already seen what the generals were thinking.

But this time is not the time to send troops, as the commander-in-chief, he thinks more than others, and the Great Jin sent troops to the peninsula this time not to help anyone, but to conquer the peninsula. Both Baekje and Mahan are potential enemies of the Great Jin Dynasty and will be eliminated in the future.

Moreover, he concluded that Ma Han's soldiers and horses were not to worry about the courage of the moment. The reason why Ma Han was able to win was because the Jin army was here to support him. Therefore, after the generals chattered for a long time, Tao Kan only said one sentence: "Order the whole army to retreat fifty miles." ”

Yao Gezhong had no choice but to obey, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart. He believes that the current situation is the fault of the main general, and the Great Jin army has been in the belt for more than half a month, but has no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Well, now the Sanhan tribe has solved Baekje by themselves, and directly left the Great Jin army aside and prepared to act alone.

The thoughts of the other generals were similar to Yao Gezhong's, but they were all forced to say much because of the strict military law, only Li Xiong was thoughtful, and he seemed to know a little bit what Tao Kan was thinking.

After the generals left, the army said to Tao Kan: "The general's move is to drive the wolf and the tiger." But there was another way to hasten the defeat of the Mahan army. Then he joined the army and whispered something in Tao Kan's ear. Tao Kan laughed after hearing this, and hurriedly called the pro-soldier guards to handle the matter.

The Jin army withdrew, although King Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little uneasy in his heart. If the Jin army really withdraws. Can Mahan take Baekje Capital?

Yi Borrow, Chen Zhi and other ministers said disapprerovingly: "Great King." The gateway to the capital of Baekje has just been breached by our army, and now we are about to attack the capital of Baekje, and they will withdraw them. Without the Jin army, we would have taken the capital of Baekje as well. ”

"That's right, King. The fact that the Jin army on Jeju Island was only more than 6,000 people, but they actually asked for 100,000 stones, grain and grass, which shows that they have no sincerity to cooperate at all, and in this case, there is no need for us to cooperate with them."

"Not bad! King, didn't we build so many cities without the support of the Jin army before? ”

King Chen's heart was happy to hear such words! Why should a general like Ma Han be afraid to attack the capital of Baekje! At this time, a soldier reported that someone in the Jin army asked to see him.

King Chen looked at his generals and asked, "What should I do?" ”

"The king may wish to meet and see, no matter what the other party says, in short, the king should not agree to the other party's participation in the attack on the Baekje capital, as for the grain and grass, say that our army is about to go on the march, and we will talk about it after this battle."

As soon as the envoy sent by the Jin army met, he explained his intention, "I heard that you are going to attack the capital of Baekje, and our General Tao is willing to send troops to help." I don't know what the king wants? "In fact, this is a temptation, Tao Kan knew that Ma Han would not let the Jin army fight, so let the envoy be polite.

King Chen looked at his generals, laughed and said, "I don't think it's too much trouble for your army!" We can't thank you enough for coming from far and wide! You should rest well and wait for us to take the capital of Baekje before we go to see General Tao. ”

Yi borrowed and said angrily: "We can't afford to use you!" We take care of our own business. ”

The messenger thought to himself, if you can do it, what are you going to do with us? What an ungrateful bunch!

Fortunately, before the envoy came, he had received a special instruction from Tao Kan, and he was not angry, and then said: "In this case, we are not reluctant. Then he took out the map of Baekje City and said, "This is the map of Baekje City that we asked someone to draw, and we Tao said that as long as we attack Baekje City according to this map, we will definitely win." ”

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was blasted out by the Ma Han people who were extremely self-confident! The messenger walked away with a smile in his face, and the mission was done.

King Chen is very happy, it seems that Tao Kan is nothing more than that! My generals are truly brave and resourceful! Baekje Capital City is just around the corner. King Chen looked at the map sent by the Jin army and said, "This map is not available!" This is the strategy of the Jin army, and they want us to fail so that they can beg them, which happens to be their strategy. ”

Yi borrowed but said: "This plan is still useful, we can plan in the opposite direction, and we will be able to win a big victory." ”

This sentence happened to hit the strategy offered to Tao Kan by joining the army, and the envoy's trip strengthened the determination of the Mahan army to attack Baekje. However, Tao Kan knew that in a one-on-one situation, the Mahan army was no match for the Baekje army at all. The map is true, but they don't follow the attack. They didn't believe it, because at this time, Mahan's generals were now higher than the sky and couldn't listen to anything. King Jin ordered an attack on Baekje Capital tomorrow.

The news of the Jin army's withdrawal was very happy when the king of Baekje learned about it, and it was at this time that the Baekje reinforcements arrived, among which the generals of the navy army led more than 50 warships and 50,000 army troops arrived at the capital of Baekje one after another. Although there are not as many as expected, after all, reinforcements are coming. The king of Baekje was even happier to host a banquet and hospitality, and the morale of the Baekje capital army was high at this time.

On the first day, the Mahan army attacked the capital city of Baekje and did not take advantage of it. Later, King Chen changed his strategy, and Yi suggested that King Chen adopt the method of night attack, but who knew that the sneak attack was successful, and as a result, the morale of the Ma Han army was even more high-eyed.

The Baekje army, which was attacked by the sneak attack, dropped its weapons and retreated to the city, and the king of Baekje hurriedly called the minister to discuss countermeasures, and the minister comforted: "Don't worry, the king, if the minister has a plan, he will defeat the Mahan army." The minister heard that there was a tribal leader in Mahan who was greedy for money and wanted to be promoted to become rich. We find a spy to bribe the other person, and then tell him where our weakness is, and let the Mahan attack there. After the Mahan people get a little sweetness, we will let them suffer a little bit. Then they will surely find this spy again. After that, we will tell the Mahan army about our weaknesses, and we will take the opportunity to completely annihilate the Mahan army. ”

The king of Baekje listened to it for a long time and didn't understand, what frustration, what sweetness. But he still asked people to do what the prime minister said. The prime minister sent a general to act as a spy. Soon the spy hooked up with Mahan with a priceless jewel.

Recently, the Mahan army has attacked several times but has not achieved anything. When I was at a loss, the spy came!

At first, King Tatsu was afraid of being deceived. That tribal leader didn't believe me when he saw it! Alright then, in that case, let's let our tribe take the lead. Seeing this, King Chen had no choice but to do so, and the tribal leader came to the south gate of Baijiang according to the instructions of the spies. Ten battalions of the Baekje Army were stationed here.

The leader saw that the garrison was lax and ordered the next company to capture five camps and grab a lot of good things. This was a deliberate defeat to him by the Baekje soldiers, in order to make the Mahan army believe it. How did this leader know that this was a trick!

The next day, the attack did not yield anything, but it hit a wall, and all plans were tried, but none of them succeeded.

At this time, the spy is here again!

If you have any difficulties, others will solve your worries, which is not a good thing. Don't think it's God helping you, God is there? Any good thing that comes its way will cost you, especially when you're in a difficult situation.

The leader had been in a good state of affairs lately, so when he saw the spies, he hurriedly asked, "Is there anything new?" ”

Baekje's spy obeyed the instructions of the minister of state, and prepared to 'cool' the other party first, and hesitated for a while before speaking, "I didn't expect the king of Baekje to change the city defense again after listening to the words of the minister of state!" Now I don't have any good ideas? ”

"Huh!? That's right...... Alas! "The leader thought there was some surprise, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Seeing that the time was ripe, he deliberately hesitated and said, "I have a plan that I don't know if it will work." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Tomorrow night, there is a big official in Baekje who wants to marry a concubine, and all the big officials who defend the city will go to congratulate him. I want to open the gates for you to enter. ”

"How are you fighting?"

"I have a relative who is a petty official at the east gatekeeper, and he is the one who has the final say after the senior official goes to drink."

"What signal do we take?"

"Lanterns are raised on the walls, so don't act rashly if you don't have them. You're in danger! ”

When the leader heard about this plan, he immediately told King Chen, and at the same time he wanted to get some more benefits. The last time he made a military achievement, the king gave him a general to do, but this time he entered the capital of Baekje!

King Chen is also a prince, seeing the other party's thoughts, King Chen thought that as long as he can attack the city, he will give everything, "If you can attack the city, first make you a minister." And give you 10,000 horses to take charge of yourself, and five cities. ”

"General, just go according to the plan!"

The Mahan army began to move according to the previous deployment, and they were a little worried at first, but who knew that after a while, the gate of Baekje City was opened. Ma Han was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to the city, and the faster he ran, the faster he died. The soldiers of the Mahan army did not know the road when they entered the city, and the road in the city was dark and black, and nothing could be seen.

At this time, more than 10,000 people had entered, and suddenly the city gates were closed, and the sound of killing was everywhere. This time, the Mahan army knew that they had been fooled, and they fired arrows in all directions, and the Mahan people suffered countless casualties. The Mahan army outside the city hurriedly retreated when they heard the shouts of killing inside the city gate, and some officers shouted as they withdrew: "Brothers, retreat!" ”

It's over, the general trend is gone!

In two hours, the shouting and killing in the city stopped! 10,000 Mahan troops were wiped out. The outside of the city was also heavily ambushed, and the retreating soldiers also suffered heavy losses, and the horses and Koreans lost no less than 30,000 horses in this battle.
