Chapter 381: Besieging Ji County
With the defection of the Huns, the rebels were also defeated by the Cao army.
Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others pursued the rebels and came all the way to the city of Ji County.
They originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to capture the city, but Han Sui, who fled back to the city early, saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care that the soldiers did not flee back, so he immediately ordered the city gate to be closed.
Seeing this situation, Gan Ning and the others could only fight their horses back.
……
"I've seen the General!"
He bowed humbly.
"Today, our army can have such a big victory, all thanks to Xiao Shan Yu, Xiao Shan Yu does not need to be polite."
Yang Ling said with a smile.
Hearing his praise, Qubei's smile became brighter, but his attitude was still respectful.
"The general has won the award, and it is still the general's strategy!"
Not bad.
As Qubei said, from the Huns going to support Han Sui to today's rebellion, all this is according to Yang Ling's instructions.
"Big brother is really far-sighted!"
Zhao Yun praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Being a brother is just an opportunistic act."
Yang Ling shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.
"Such resourcefulness really makes us admire!"
Ma Teng also shook his head and sighed, looking at Yang Ling's gaze, full of admiration!
……
After this battle, after counting, more than 20,000 rebels were killed.
In addition, due to Han Sui's closed city gates, more than 30,000 rebels were stopped outside the city, and in desperation, they had no choice but to surrender to Yang Ling.
After these people were incorporated, the soldiers and horses in Yang Ling's hands were as high as nearly 90,000 at once!
The advantages of both sides were also reversed in an instant.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Ling led the army and came to the city of Jixian.
But he was not in a hurry to attack the city, but only surrounded the city and set up camp outside the city.
After a few days like this, Cao Jun was extremely puzzled.
On this day, Ma Teng took Pang De, Jiang Yin, Jiang Xu and others to Yang Ling's tent.
"I've seen the General!"
After the salute was finished and they were seated, Ma Teng couldn't wait to say,
"Now Han Sui is a turtle in the urn, as long as he is destroyed, the rebellion in Liangzhou can be quelled."
"Why did the general delay in giving the order to attack the city?"
Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others on the side also looked a little puzzled.
defeated Han Sui one after another, and Cao's army was like a rainbow.
It was this opportunity to take Ji County and completely eliminate Han Sui in one go.
But Yang Ling besieged but did not attack, which really puzzled everyone.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Yang Ling smiled and explained,
"Although our army has superior strength, most of them are surrendered soldiers, not to mention weak combat strength, and it is even more difficult to maintain loyalty."
"If the war doesn't go well, I'm afraid there will be changes."
"Besides, Han Sui still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and Ji County has been repaired and strengthened by him many times, so it is really unwise to attack rashly."
"But don't worry, I already have a way to break the city."
"Within three or five days, Han Sui will be captured!"
Hearing him say this, everyone was relieved.
"Since the general said that there is a way, then he can definitely take Ji County."
Gan Ning smiled,
"We just need to go back and rest, and wait for the good news!"
Others nodded yes too!
Just when Yang Ling was talking to Ma Teng and others, he didn't know that in the city of Ji County, Han Sui and Cheng Gongying and others were also talking about them.
"You say, why is Yang Ling reluctant to attack the city?"
After a few days of rest, Han Sui's complexion has improved a lot, but at this moment he is extremely dignified.
Thinking about this experience, he felt like he had a ridiculous dream!
With an army of 200,000 in his hands, how high-spirited was it?!
But it's Yang Ling, who makes him look like this!
"My subordinates don't know ......"
Cheng Gongying smiled bitterly.
After the last few battles with Cao Jun, he had to admit that he was far inferior to Yang Ling in terms of resourcefulness.
Yang Lingzhi's use of soldiers is like a whimsical, and the antelope hangs its horns, making people nowhere to be found!
However, Cheng Gongying can be sure that Yang Ling must be planning some conspiracy!
Han Sui discussed with Cheng Gongying and others for a while, but he didn't come up with any clues.
"Lord, there is something under my subordinates, I don't know if I should talk about it or not......
Cheng Yin on the side wanted to speak and stopped.
"What so much, just say it!"
Han Sui said angrily.
"Back to the lord, in the past few days, my subordinates have found that Song Jian has frequent contacts with Agui, Yang Wan and other leaders of the Qiang and Hu people."
Cheng Yin said cautiously.
Hearing this, Han Sui's heart jumped!
When he fought with Yang Ling before, he fled without telling him.
Although he saved most of his soldiers and horses, he caused heavy losses to other Liangzhou warlords, including Song Jian.
The worst thing is that Zhang Meng, the Taishou of Wuwei County, died directly in the chaos!
After returning to Ji County, Song Jian took other warlords and pointed at Han Sui and scolded.
The two sides are on the same page, and they are in turmoil.
If it weren't for the Cao army outside the city, I'm afraid that the two sides would have started a war a long time ago!
Could it be that Song Jian was resentful and planned to contact Hu Ren to rebel against him?
The more Han Sui thought about it, the more likely it became, and he was also angry and scared in his heart!
"This bastard Song Jian dares to betray me! Cheng Yin, you quickly gather soldiers and horses, and follow me to kill that guy! ”
Fortunately, Cheng Gongying on the side was calmer, and hurriedly called Han Sui,
"Don't be impulsive!"
"Although Song Jian has dealings with the Hu people, he doesn't necessarily really intend to betray the lord."
"In case we misunderstood, wouldn't it be cheaper for Cao Jun?"
Han Sui calmed down and pondered carefully, but felt that what Cheng Gongying said was not unreasonable.
After all, Song Jian, like him, has a good relationship with the Hu people.
The two sides have been going back and forth frequently in private, but they can't say anything.
Seeing that Han Sui was persuaded by Cheng Gongying again, Cheng Yin thought about it for a while, and then reminded in a low voice,
"What the military advisor said is good, but the heart of defense is indispensable, what if Song Jian and the others really plan to mistreat the lord?"
"What's your idea?"
Han Sui looked at Cheng Yin.
"According to the subordinates, a team of men and horses should be stationed near Song Jian, Agui and others to monitor them."
Cheng Yin proposed,
"If they do something wrong, the lord can deal with it."
"Okay, Cheng Yin, I didn't expect you to be so smart now!"
Han Sui looked at Cheng Yin with some surprise, and then smiled,
"This plan is very much in line with my wishes, I don't know what the military advisor thinks?"
Cheng Gongying thought about it and nodded,
"It's always good to be prepared."
"Since it was Cheng Yin and you brought it up, then this matter will be handled by you!"
Han Sui commanded.
"Please rest assured, my subordinates will not disappoint my lord!"
Cheng Yin gave up his hand to receive the order.
Whether it was Han Sui or Cheng Gongying, they didn't take this matter to heart.
But how did they know that Han Sui's order would become their talisman!
Cheng Yin walked down from the city and went straight to the city.
According to Han Sui's instructions, he led a team of men and horses to the vicinity of Song Jian and the Hu people's camp and stationed them on the spot.
However, after the sky darkened, Cheng Yin walked out of the tent and walked straight towards Song Jian's camp.
