Chapter 287: Against Ma Teng
Wei Tao descended, and the whole army went straight to the Xiliang army.
Ma Teng and Han Sui have been fighting in the past few days, but because each has damage and each has stopped, there is no old harmony between the two phases.
When the news of the transfer of Jizhou troops came, Ma Teng and Han immediately made a truce.
However, this time, the two did not fight as an army again, but fought separately.
In the past, Zhou Yu's plan of 'killing three soldiers with two peaches' had actually been seen through by Ma Teng and Han Sui long ago, but they understood that since they had torn their faces, it was impossible to return to their previous friendships, and they had to annex the other party.
So they fought constantly.
Similarly, Ma Teng and Han Sui also understood that Wei Tao would be a spectator, so although they fought, they did not dare to devote themselves to it, which formed a strange stiffness.
Until Wei Tao's army went south, the two armies were prepared to meet the enemy.
"Ziyu, what do you think I should do now?"
Wei Tao did not let Xun Yu come this time, because he was worried about his hope for Han's heart, and did not let Zhou Yu arrive, in order to prevent anyone in the rear from making unfavorable moves.
Among these people is Xun You.
Although it is very ruthless, in fact, since Wei Tao has made up his mind, he has to defend against it, the rear is heavy, and the government affairs are handed over to Xun Yu to take care of, and the army is all in the hands of Zhou Yu.
Whether it is Zhou Yu or Xun You, they are both top-level resourceful people, Wei Tao will not understand what he means, but if Wei Tao orders, they should naturally obey.
Such a distrustful move of his subordinates, in fact, Wei Tao didn't want to do it, but he had to do it.
Wei Tao understood in his previous life. In history, Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven. It is true that it has been taken refuge by many people of insight. But the refuge of those people of insight made Cao Cao not know whether he was loyal to the Son of Heaven or loyal to him Cao Cao.
Historically, in the early days of Cao Cao's worship of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao and the Son of Heaven were united, so naturally there would be no problem, but later the Son of Heaven gradually wanted to take power, which made Cao Cao's subordinates gradually split. Even schemers like Xun Yu are against Cao Cao.
In the past, Wei Tao did not have the slightest intention of chasing the Central Plains, even if it was to invade Jizhou, it was more to be able to have a stable rear and attack Chang'an, but also because Yuan Shao colluded with foreign enemies, so Wei Tao's army was united, and naturally there would be no hidden dangers.
But now Wei Tao's mind has changed: if you want to go outside, you must first settle inside, since Cao Mengde can't dominate the world and support the Han Dynasty, so that he can rest assured that he will be able to calm the world. Then let yourself first set the peace of the Han Dynasty, and then destroy the enemy to ensure the survival of the Han Dynasty.
Wei Tao knew that his idea would not be acceptable to everyone. Then such measures have to be implemented.
Wei Tao didn't want that to happen to his subordinates at that time.
"Lord, Ma Teng and Han Sui have already split under Gongjin's plan, even if we attack one side, the other side may die and not be saved, but if the situation is critical, it may be a breakthrough into the battlefield, and then on the one hand, it can hit our army, and maybe the other side can still swallow it all. If we can go further, defeat our army here, and then take advantage of the great decline of our army's military strength, we can even sweep Jizhou, and then there is a possibility of fighting for the world in one fell swoop. ”
Zhuge Jin was cautious, and when he heard Wei Tao ask like this, he said a lot.
"Speaking of which, that Cao Cao is now defeated and returned, it is not only an opportunity for our army, but also an opportunity for other princes, and the world has reached the time of great contention."
"Ziyu, you have been with me for a long time, so you don't have to say this to me. The road is to go step by step, and now that I am fighting with the Xiliang Army at the moment, how can I win it in one battle? ”
Wei Tao understood what Zhuge Jin meant when he listened, and immediately couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Huh...... It's not that the lord hasn't fought with him, so no matter how strong the Xiliang army is, can it still be stronger than the Huns, Wuhuan and so on? However, if Ma Teng and Han Sui wanted to choose one and attack first, I suggested that the lord attack Ma Teng first. ”
"Oh? What does this mean? Ma Teng and Han Sui have similar military strength, but really, Ma Teng can fight against Han Sui with fewer soldiers, and in fact, his strength is still slightly better. ”
Wei Tao was also hesitant for a moment in his heart about whether to fight Ma Teng or Han Sui first, and now he was also curious when he heard Zhuge Jin so sure.
"If the lord is as deficient in military strength as before, he should naturally be weak first and then strong, and even ally with one side first. But with the current lord's 60,000 army, even if he fights with the Xiliang army at the same time, it is naturally strong first and then weak. Cut off the powerful side first so that things don't change. ”
Zhuge Jin said with a slight smile.
"What's more, I also know that Han Sui and his person, he is quite tempting, if it is anything else, since he wants to be tempted, then I can compare with it."
"Huh...... Okay, since that's the case, then Han Sui will hand it over to Ziyu! ”
Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then smiled, so how is Han Sui capable, Wei Tao knows in his heart, although he is a little resourceful, but how can he compare with Zhuge Jin?
"Someone came to pass on our military order, sent a messenger to the Ma Teng military camp, and said that if he is willing to surrender, then he will not lose his position as a general, if not, our army will definitely compete with one of them everywhere!"
Wei Tao ordered to be handed down, and naturally someone was sent to the Ma Teng military camp.
Ma Teng is fierce, and he is confident that he has the elite of the Xiliang cavalry under his command, although he has also seen Wei Tao's martial arts, but thinking that Wei Tao can only use some means to sow discord in the end, and does not dare to fight with him head-on, he is confident again, and naturally he will not be polite to Wei Tao's envoy.
"Humph! The two armies are fighting, and they don't come to make it! That Wei Ziyu did not obey his promises, did not keep his reputation, and did not accept the orders of the Son of Heaven. Even if he doesn't come, I will let him know that I am very good at Xiliang Iron Ride! You don't need to say much, and it's a reply to Wei Tao, tomorrow at noon, I will fight since then, and then I will let him see my Xiliang man's martial arts! ”
"In that case, farewell!"
Wei Tao just sent someone to pass this order, so the envoy didn't say much, and left directly.
"Humph! Wei Tao is really a wolf's ambition, this time I will definitely break his army in one fell swoop and let him know that it is powerful! ”
As soon as the messenger left, the horse teng immediately spoke.
"But we also have to be careful to let that Han Sui benefit. Dai'er, you are leading an army to guard against Han Sui at all times. As for Wei Tao, it depends on Chao'er and Ling Ming. Do you have faith? ”
"Father rest assured, since the last defeat at the hands of that Wei Tao, the child has been practicing hard for a while, and his own martial arts have improved, although he dare not say that he can win Wei Tao, but with Ling Ming's help to me, the child will definitely be able to kill Wei Tao under the horse!"
Ma Chao is fierce, and he has always been angry about his defeat at the hands of Wei Tao, and even the failure of Pang De and Yan Xing to defeat Wei Tao, and now that Wei Tao is coming north, he is naturally the most courageous.
"Lord, even if Pang De sacrifices his life, he will keep the eldest prince safe and help the eldest prince kill that Wei Tao!"
And Pound also got up and gave up, although the words were flat, but they were loud.
"Good! Let that Wei Tao take a good look at my Xiliang boy is brave! ”
The next day, the drums shook the sky, and Han Sui seemed to show that he had no intention of fighting here, so he pulled out the camp and retreated ten miles as soon as the two armies of Wei Tao and Ma Teng started the battle.
Although for the cavalry, ten miles of land is just a moment, but the meaning of Han Sui's move could not be more obvious, and neither Ma Teng nor Wei Tao will take it lightly.
"Da Da Da ......"
The two armies were in a column, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves immediately sounded, and then a white-robed and silver-armored young general immediately jumped out, pointing his gun at Wei Tao and shouting loudly.
"Xiliang Ma Mengqi is here. Wei Tao, do you dare to fight me again? ”
Seeing Ma Chao coming to challenge, Wei Tao couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this time Wei Tao was not ready to face the battle in person, so he immediately looked around and asked.
"Who would dare to fight me?"
"My lord, it can be said that I have not made an inch of merit under the command of my lord, and I ask my lord to allow me to go to war and kill such people who are provoking for my lord!"
Hearing Wei Tao's question, he immediately came out of the queue again, and everyone looked at him, it was Wei Yanye.
"Good! I promise you a fight, and remember, that Ma Chao is also a person of extraordinary bravery, so you should be cautious. ”
Wei Tao knew that Wei Yan's martial arts were probably inferior to Ma Chao, but since Wei Yan asked for battle, Wei Tao naturally would not suppress it so much, and immediately nodded, that is, he promised to fight.
"No!"
Wei Yan responded with a peace, and immediately hit the horse to fight, shouting at Ma Chao.
"Even a mere kid dares to challenge my father-in-law. Yiyang Wei Yan is here, and he eats me with a knife! ”
When Ma Chao saw that Wei Tao should not fight, but instead sent someone to come at random, he was immediately annoyed, and when he saw Wei Yan attacking, he immediately came back from the belly of a horse.
"Bell Bell Bell ......"
As Wei Tao expected, although Wei Yan was brave, in terms of martial arts alone, he was still inferior to Ma Chao, but he fell into disadvantage in seven or eight rounds.
However, this time Wei Tao still has no intention of making a move, if he has to personally go into battle in this kind of battle, then he will definitely be despised by the people of Xiliang.
The confrontation between the two armies is the most imposing, the last time Wei Tao was already showing his own strength, this time it is to let the other party see how the generals under his command are capable of, and it is completely to defeat the spirit of the other party.
"Gongming, Ziyi. The two of you are to see what other generals are in Ma Teng's army, if there is no one on the other side, then it is to help Wen Chang, although Ma Chao is brave, but only one person, how can he defeat our army? ”
"No!"
Hearing Wei Tao's order, Xu Huang and Tai Shici also galloped out.
Just like Wei Tao's order, neither of them immediately helped Wei Yan, but drank together towards Ma Teng's camp.
"Xu Huang (Tai Shici) is here, who dares to come and fight with me!" (To be continued......)
