Chapter 528: Star Gorge Hidden Army

After seeing Ma Teng again, Han Sui made an appointment with Cheng Gongying and Yan Xing that night, and made a specific division of labor for the actions of the two the day after tomorrow.

Because Ma Teng first went to the Chinese army's Xiaocai camp to offer condolences, Han Sui decided to ambush Ma Teng's team in the middle of the road, and the commander of the specific action was Yan Xing. And Han Sui's other henchman, Cheng Gongying, took on the task of besieging Ma Mansion after Ma Teng left the mansion.

After Han Sui asked Yan Xing to return in the evening, he released the news that Ma Teng would personally go to the Chinese army to deal with a group of generals who did not obey orders and had different intentions, and that this purge campaign would also affect the left and right armies, so as to create a tense situation in which everyone was in danger. As long as Yan Xing said that Liang Xing and Hou Xuan in the Chinese army were moved, Ma Teng would definitely die. If the two of them really didn't listen to the advice, then Han Sui wouldn't mind letting Yan Xing get rid of them secretly.

Yan Xing acted in accordance with Han Sui's strategy, invited Liang Xinghe and the candidate to his tent in the evening of the same day, set up a banquet, and drank as a brother. Because there is nothing to do in the army on weekdays, these generals will take turns to invite guests to drink in private, and Liang Xing and Hou Xuan are not surprised, so they have no doubt about the intention of entertaining Yan Xing.

When the wine was hot, Yan Xing sighed heavily, and then said with a heavy face: "Alas, after eating this wine with the two brothers today, I don't know if there will be a chance in the future!"

Liang Xinghe and Hou Xuan were very surprised when they heard Yan Xing's words, so they said drunkenly: "Why does Brother Yanming have such feelings? Now that you have risen to the top, your status in the Xiliang Army is only after Pang Lingming, the eldest prince and Han Wenyue, and in the future, when the new army is established, it is indispensable for you to be the commander, and you are just high-spirited!"

Yan Xing continued to pretend to have a heavy expression on his face, and said cautiously to the two, "It's hard that the two brothers haven't heard any news in the past two days?"

The two of them looked dazed and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Yan Xing pretended to be mysterious and continued: "I went to see my father-in-law at noon today, and I heard him show a hint of tone during the banquet, and I heard that General Tianma is going to the army to offer condolences, nominally to the labor army, but secretly to attack a group of generals!"

When Liang Xing and Hou Xuan heard this, their originally somewhat drunk brains immediately woke up, and the two of them asked Yan Xing with a panicked face: "Brother Yanming, do you know who General Ma is going to purge the army this time?"

Yan Xing shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It is precisely because I don't know who is going to be unlucky again, so I feel that I am afraid that it will be rare to drink good wine with my two brothers in the future." General Ma is now powerful and moody, who knows that the person who will be purged this time will not be one or even all of you and me?"

After Yan Xing finished saying this, Liang Xing and Hou Xuan no longer had the interest in drinking, and the two of them secretly began to ponder in their hearts.

To say that Liang Xing and Hou Xuan, since they followed Ma Teng to "make a revolution", they are indeed loyal, and they have made a lot of contributions before and after the saddle. But since the eldest prince Ma Chao returned from the Jin Kingdom, the two of them began to interact with the generals of the Jin State Army, and even secretly sent people from their families to the Jin Kingdom to do business, and they have gained a lot of benefits and benefits in the past two years. And although the two of them were loyal to Ma Teng, they also had some minor problems that they did not overcome, such as secretly deducting military salaries and materials, which hurt the public and private interests, and they did not do less.

As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The problem is that in the process of the internal purge of the Xiliang Army, Liang Xing and Hou Xuan both felt guilty in their hearts and could already be included in the scope of the purge, so the more they thought about it, the more bottomless they became, so they pestered Yan Xing to knock on the side repeatedly, just wanting to hear Yan Xing's words of comfort that Ma Teng would not cleanse them.

Yan Xing naturally wouldn't say something that comforted and down-to-earth the two of them as the two of them wished, but on the contrary, the more he talked, the more frightening it became, and he only felt that Ma Teng came to the Chinese army, and he was clearly coming for the three of them.

Liang Xinghe, who was terrified by Yan Xing's words of adding oil and vinegar, sat on the ground as if his spine had been removed from the back, and he was clearly out of order.

Yan Xing saw that the time had come, so he said: "We, the generals, suffer first, enjoy last, but in the end, we will end up with a tragic ending of a rabbit and a dead dog, I don't know how the two brothers feel, but I am very unwilling!"

Liang Xing felt the same as Yan Xing's words, and immediately echoed loudly and said, "How can I be willing!

Hou Xuan also said dejectedly: "What's the benefit of saying these things now, how can General Ma, who has made up his mind, listen to you and me?"

Yan Xing made a downward expression, stood up viciously and said: "If he is unkind, he will stop blaming me for being unjust, instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to prepare early, and Ma Teng will break the net with the fish, and he will not be born between heaven and earth in vain, and he will be a seven-foot man!"

Liang Xinghe and Hou Xuan, who were blinded by Yan Xing, felt that they should take it for granted after listening to this kind of rebellious words, and the two of them also stood up and said loudly: "Brother Yanming, if you want to make an accident, you can be regarded as a brother!"

Two days passed, and on the morning of this day, Ma Teng left Mafu with hundreds of guards and dozens of carts of wine and meat supplies to go to the city of Luci, where the Chinese army's cavalry battalion was stationed, to go to the labor army. The second housekeeper of Fuzhong, who was originally scheduled to go with Ma Teng, didn't know what unclean food he had eaten the night before, and he couldn't get out of bed because he vomited and diarrhea, so he had to stay and recuperate.

From Guzang City to Zhuci City, there is a distance of more than 30 miles between the two places, and on the way, you must pass through a loess canyon with dangerous terrain, called Xingxing Gorge. In order to ensure Ma Teng's safety, Han Sui suggested that Ma Teng order Yan Xing, the temporary commander of the Chinese army, to set off from the city in advance and lead the army to meet Ma Teng's convoy outside the Star Gorge. Ma Teng felt that Han Sui's suggestion was reasonable, so he asked him to go to the city with a letter of transfer of troops a day in advance, so that Yan Xing could prepare to meet him.

After receiving Ma Teng's letter of transfer of troops, Yan Xing did prepare very carefully, but unfortunately what he prepared was not how to greet Ma Teng with a majestic and neat military appearance, but prepared to bury a small group of Ma Teng's men and horses there in the canyon.

Yan Xing, Liang Xing and Hou Xuan, who have formed a rebel alliance, are ready to be led by Yan Xing to personally lead 2,000 men and horses to the valley to meet Ma Teng, while Liang Xing and Hou Xuan respectively led 2,000 men and horses under their command to ambush on both sides of the canyon.

As the mastermind behind this operation, Han Sui did not go to the city with Ma Teng, but used the excuse to return to the right army garrison stationed in Luanniao City one step ahead of schedule, and prepare for Ma Teng's next arrival to meet the labor army.

Where is Han Sui going to prepare to meet Ma Teng, he is going to Luanniao to wait for the news of Ma Teng's death, and then take over the right army!
