Chapter 231: One Hundred Thousand Coalition Troops
Ma Dai and Liao Hua, when they heard Wen Qin say this, they immediately showed knowing smiles, they both knew that Jiang Wei actually liked Wen Yuan very much.
Ma Dai has been fighting with Jiang Wei for a long time, so he naturally knows Jiang Wei's feelings for Wen Yuan.
Liao Hua saw this when he was exchanging hostages with Wen Yuan.
Now Wen Yuan's father, Wen Qin, said that both of them are happy to see it.
Liao Hua was older than Wen Qin, and said with a smile: "General Wen, since you have already intended to entrust Miss Wen Yuan to my family governor, why don't you stay and attend the wedding and accept the tea from my family governor?" ”
Ma Dai also smiled and said: "Yes, General Wen, even if you want to return to Cao Wei now, you can't go back to Lujiang, after all, there is a Lu Xun in the middle, and there are many cities such as Xiangyang and Xinye." ”
Wen Yuan said: "Don't worry about this matter, my father can return to Great Wei from the way we came, take the Huangni Pass back to Great Wei, and then go all the way south back to Lujiang." ”
Ma Dai smiled knowingly and said: "General Wen Yuan doesn't know, I have sent a detachment of 1,000 people to Huangniguan with Hu Qian's customs clearance documents, presumably at this moment, Huangniguan has been captured by our army." Of course, our army will definitely let General Wen pass, but I am afraid that it will arouse unnecessary suspicion. ”
Wen Qin was suddenly shocked, originally Hu Zhen and Shen Tan suspected that Wen Qin had surrendered to the enemy before they died in battle, but fortunately, with the fall of Shangyong and the death of the two, this matter could not be spread in the short term.
But now that most of the Huangni Pass has been captured by the Shu army, if Wen Qin can safely enter the Guanzhong Plain from the Huangni Pass guarded by the Shu army, it will inevitably arouse Cao Wei's suspicions.
Wen Qin asked himself that he had never done anything to be sorry for Da Wei, but the current situation really made him feel a dilemma.
Dong Ju made a suggestion at this time.
"General Wen may wish to go to Wancheng with our army, our army's next goal is to capture Wancheng in front of Dongwu, because our army and Dongwu are allies, if our army goes all the way north to fight Wancheng, Dongwu will not stop it at least on the surface, but if the general goes directly to Wancheng, your five thousand people will definitely be besieged by Lu Xun."
Wen Qin was suddenly a little annoyed: "Hmph! How could this general lure a wolf into the house and take you and others to attack Wancheng? ”
Dong Ju said with a smile: "The general is too worried, as long as we arrive in Wancheng, we will escort the general all the way to the east, and the general will not come to Wancheng to this troubled water. The main purpose of this method I proposed was to deceive Lu Xun. ”
Wen Qin thought about it, it is true that as long as he passes through the defense area of Eastern Wu, it is indeed much faster to go to Wancheng than to return to Lujiang through Guanzhong, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion, and it is completely possible to pretend that he was pursued by the Shu army all the way from Shangyong.
So after Wen Qin pondered, he agreed to go to Wancheng with the Shu army.
Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba expressed their willingness to return to Cao Wei with Wen Qin.
Within a few days, Shangyong City was ready to continue to attack Wancheng, Dong Que left 10,000 elite soldiers to guard Shangyong, and collected more than 10,000 Wei troops to surrender troops.
Ma Dai led 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry, together with 10,000 troops of the Liaohua Department, and 5,000 Lujiang soldiers and horses under Wen Qin, out of Shangyong and attacked Wancheng.
When the army traveled twenty miles east, it encountered Lu Xun's Wu army camp.
When Wu Jun heard that Shu Han had captured Shangyong City, they were very angry, and felt that Shangyong City had already been crumbling by Wu Jun, but he didn't expect that in the end, Shu Han was cheaper and let them pick peaches.
All the generals under Lu Xun's command hated it so much, especially Ding Feng, who wanted to ask for his life to seize Shangyong at that time.
But Lu Xun suppressed the generals and said to them: "The Han army seized Shangyong, but it was just a bargain, but Shu Han and our Eastern Wu are allies, and now that Cao Wei has not been destroyed, we can't tear our faces with Shu Han." ”
Ding Feng said angrily: "This group of Han troops is really shameless, not to mention robbing us of our superiors, they still want to attack Wancheng, and they want to ask us to get out of the way, so that they can attack Wancheng, it is unreasonable!" ”
Gan Xin said: "Master, Wancheng is the city you are determined to get, how can you allow the Shu Han to covet it, if you need the apprentice to go to stop it, the apprentice is willing to lead the army into battle to repel the Han army." ”
Lu Xun still smiled gently: "I said it, at this moment, the Han army and us are allies, and Cao Wei has not been destroyed, so there can be no conflict yet." Of course, Wancheng is going to fight with the Han army, how many soldiers and horses did the Han army come this time? And who are the generals? ”
Ding Feng replied, "The scout said that there were about 35,000 people!" The main will be Ma Dai, and the deputy will be Liao Hua. ”
Lu Xun thought about it in his heart and said: "You send someone to tell General Ma Dai that if the Han army is willing, I, Dongwu, am willing to form a coalition with the Han army and go north to attack Wancheng together. ”
"How can this be?" Ding Feng was a little puzzled, "If we attack Wancheng together, we will have a total of nearly 100,000 troops, and it is easy to capture Wancheng, but why should we divide the money, food, and wealth equally?" My Eastern Wu sent twice as many troops as the Han army, and it should be two-thirds of our army! ”
Gan Xin also thought of a question, and asked suspiciously: "If a coalition army is formed, then after Wancheng is defeated, who will it be?" ”
Lu Xun said with a smile: "General Ding Feng also said that our army is twice the strength of the Han army, if Wancheng is defeated, can the Han army still fight with our army for Wancheng?" ”
After thinking for a while, Ding Feng clapped his hands and said, "Hey! It's really worthy of being the Metropolitan Governor, what a clever plan! After the coalition army defeated Wancheng, I had a lot of soldiers in Eastern Wu, and naturally the Han army could not compete with our army. ”
Lu Xun smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, Ding Feng personally came to the Han army, and on behalf of Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu, sent an invitation to Ma Dai and Liao Hua to form a coalition army and jointly attack Wancheng.
Ma Dai had been instructed by Jiang Wei before he set off from Chang'an, and almost without the slightest hesitation, he agreed and said enthusiastically:
"Han and Wu are allies, and now we form a coalition to attack Wancheng together, which is the best confirmation of the unbreakable friendship between Han and Wu, and our army is willing to join forces with Wu Jun to jointly crusade against Cao Wei, capture Wancheng, and then go all the way north to destroy Cao Wei."
Ding Feng saw that Ma Dai was so refreshing, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay! If the two armies are combined, we will have 100,000 allied troops, and it should be easy to attack Wancheng. In this case, the two armies of your and us will immediately march towards Wancheng, as long as Wancheng is captured, it can threaten Cao Wei's Chang'an, Luoyang and Xuchang, the three ruling cores of Cao Wei! ”
Ma Dai laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahahaha, General Ding is right, but Chang'an doesn't bother General Ding, my Han Yongliang Governor Jiang Wei has led an army of 120,000 to capture Chang'an!" ”
"What? You've taken Chang'an! ”
Ding Feng was shocked when he heard this, and an inexplicable sense of jealousy and disappointment arose spontaneously, covering his cheeks.
