Chapter 337: Plans for Themselves
Han Sui used Cao Cao's strategy to plot with Shi Weikang, the assassin of Liangzhou, Ma Chao, and saw that it was done, but he was unexpectedly killed by Ma Chao out of the city and escaped.
Ma Chao's father and son have a very high prestige in Xiliang, and they are princes for generations, far from being comparable to Han Sui, if they don't cut the grass and eradicate it, if they make a comeback, he will definitely not be an opponent.
In order to chase and kill Ma Chao, Han Sui spared no cost, and even spent a lot of money to ask the Qiang people to help in the war, and chased all the way to Longxi, but who knew that he met a strong opponent and folded his son-in-law Han Sui.
I don't know who secretly helped Ma Chao, Han Sui was shocked, and he didn't dare to rush into the army, stationed the soldiers and horses in Caohan, and sent people to inquire about the news, half a month passed, but there was no news.
When he was hesitating, he reported that Liu Qi sent troops to Wudu and went straight to Longxi to kill, Han Sui suddenly realized that it must be Liu Qi who secretly sent someone to rescue Ma Chao, so he divided his troops to intercept and personally conquer Ma Chao.
In the past few days, the march to the White Fox Ridge, seeing that the camps along the mountain are connected, the defense is tight, and the middle is discussing the plan to break the enemy, and the horse comes to tell the enemy, Zhang Heng and Liang Xing surrender to the enemy, the candidate was killed, and the whole army of the three roads was annihilated.
Han Sui was taken aback and scolded angrily: "Zhang and Liang two thieves dare to betray me, they will be killed!" ”
Cheng Gongying, who joined the army, said: "Liu Qi's army invaded Longxi, it must be to save Ma Chao, to get rid of Ma Chao, we need to retreat Liu Qi first, otherwise we will be attacked by the enemy and fall into a dilemma." ”
Han Sui frowned and said: "Today, Ma Chao is trapped in the mountains, like a tiger in a trap, if I retreat, he will fight from behind to respond to Liu Qi, how should this be?" ”
Cheng Gongying smiled: "There is a former ally here, why don't you invite help?" ”
"You said Song Jian?" Han Sui thought for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Since the defeat of the army, Song Jian has been in charge of Caohan, and there has been no movement. If he still had great ambitions, he should have sent someone to contact me, and he has not been able to go out so far, but he only wants to be safe. ”
Song Jian was one of the heroes of Xiliang who raised troops with Han Sui that year, when Ma Teng was still serving as Sima in the state and county, and the two of them mainly focused on the kingdom and plundered Sanfu.
Later, he was defeated by Huangfu Song, the kingdom was defeated and died, Han Sui retreated to Huangzhong, and Song Jian was divided from Caohan, and the two never contacted each other again.
Cheng Gongying sneered: "Although Song Jian wants to have a momentary pleasure, he claims to be the king of the Han Dynasty at the head of the river, and changes the Yuan to a hundred officials, which is a major crime of rebellion. ”
Han Sui's eyes lit up, and he nodded: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, as long as someone denounces him, even if Song Jian does not send troops, Liu Qi will eradicate him, which is the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan." ”
Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "As long as you know the benefits and send some benefits, Song Jian will come to help in the war, and with the help of this person, it will be difficult for Ma Chao to gain a foothold in the territory of Caohan." ”
"That's a great plan!" Han Sui laughed and said: "If Liu Qi doesn't come, a certain Zheng is worried that he won't be able to catch Ma Chao, and now he forces Song Jian to fight, Ma Chao will definitely die." ”
Cheng Gongying said again: "Just waiting for me is not enough to fight with Liu Qi!" When Liu Qi's troops enter Xiliang, they must have the intention of taking Longyou, and if Longyou is lost, Guanzhong will not be guaranteed. can urgently ask Wei Tingshi to ask Xiahou Yuan for help, Liangzhou soldiers and horses out of Qishan to attack Wudu, cut off Liu Qi's way back, Chang'an soldiers and horses from Chang'an to Hanzhong, then Liu Qi will be defeated. ”
Han Sui was overjoyed, so he ordered his brother Han De to visit Song Jian in person, and at the same time sent someone to report to Wei Kang, leaving Li Kan and Ma to play to guard the White Fox Ridge, and led the army to meet Liu Qi.
The soldiers and horses marched to the Tao River, and the horses came to report urgently, Liu Qi had captured Longsang City, and the front army was advancing west along the Tao River, all the way like a broken bamboo, and no one could stop it.
Han Sui was furious, marched to the garrison of Angu, set up a defensive line along the river, and prepared to confront Liu Qi, as long as Song Jian and Wei Kang sent troops at the same time, Liu Qi could be trapped and killed in Longxi.
When the army was being reorganized, he visited the Malay newspaper, and Liu Qi took Liang Xing as the vanguard to get peace.
"Liu Qi'er, you deceive people too much!" Han Sui was furious when he heard this, "Step by step, think I'm no one in Xiliang?" ”
Cheng Gongying heard that Han Sui had the intention of sending troops, and persuaded: "Liu Qi is here to take advantage of the victory, the soldiers are brave and brave, the morale is flourishing, and he cannot be the enemy of the force, so he should wait for reinforcements first, hold on to them, and wait for his sharp spirit to dissipate, and then fight again." ”
Cheng Yin said coldly: "Hmph, if it weren't for Liang Xing's dog thief to defect to the enemy, how could Liu Qi be able to live in Lintao?" This thief still has the face to fight, if he doesn't cut it, where is the power of my Xiliang army? ”
Han Sui nodded and said: "What General Cheng said is extremely true, Liu Qi drove straight forward, if he didn't stop it, he was afraid that the army's heart would be shaken and morale would be sluggish, so he would behead Liang Xing first to set an example." ”
Cheng Yin hugged his fists and said: "I will clean up Liang Xing, and I will definitely cut this thief under the horse and sacrifice the flag to demonstrate." ”
Han Sui instructed: "Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun are both famous generals in the Central Plains, if you meet these two people, you can't be defeated, just kill Liang Xing." ”
Cheng Yin led the troops, ordered the troops out of the city, and came along the river to meet the enemy, and Han Sui ordered Yang Qiu to respond, just in case.
The Han army had already discovered the news and deployed along the river, with Liang Xing in front and a cavalry in white robes and white armor in the rear, the armor shining in the sun, which seemed to merge with the sparkling waves.
It seems that people dressed up to know that it is Zhao Yun, Cheng Yinjiu has been in Xiliang for a long time, and he has never met the general of the Central Plains, so he is eager to try.
While observing, Liang Xing urged the horse to come closer, and shouted: "Cheng Yin, Han Sui harbored evil intentions, betrayed his companions many times, and will be killed sooner or later with him, it is better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and don't make mistakes again and again." ”
Cheng Yin said angrily: "What a shameless betrayer, he dares to speak wildly and suffer death!" ”
The two urged the horses to fight, fighting on the bank of the river, more than ten together, regardless of victory or defeat, one wanted to kill the general for revenge, and the other wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and the killing was inseparable.
The battle reached about thirty times, and seeing that Zhao Yun was urging the horse to approach, Cheng Yin suddenly felt a little weak, and a Liang Xing would not be able to win or lose, if Zhao Yun went out again, wouldn't he have to explain here?
As soon as his mind was confused, he couldn't resist it, and hurriedly turned his horse back to the battle, shouting: "What kind of hero are you to bully more and bully?" ”
Liang Xing saw that there were already soldiers and horses in front of him, so he didn't chase after him, so he turned around and smiled at Zhao Yun and said: "General Zhao is really famous, and he scared Cheng Yin back before he got out of the horse." ”
"How is this person's martial arts?" Zhao Yun was also a little inexplicable, he didn't plan to go out, he was just worried that Liang Xing would lose, so he went to the front of the battle to watch the battle.
Liang Xing sighed: "It's not a secret, the strength of a few of us and others is not equal, if we fight with the general, I'm afraid Shihe will be defeated!" ”
Seeing the enemy army slowly retreating into the city, Zhao Yun frowned and said, "Han Sui's troops are so cautious, it seems that they will not send troops easily, and they will camp here and wait. ”
Longsang City is small and cannot garrison the army, Liu Qi stayed in Lei Tong to defend the city to transport grain and grass, and led his troops to Taoshui to meet Zhao Yun.
Hearing that Han Sui came to resist the enemy, but Cheng Yin retreated without a fight, Zhang Fei advocated besieging Angu and trapping Han Sui in the dead city.
Liu Qi said: "Han Sui is anxious to encircle and suppress Ma Chao, it stands to reason that he should repel us as soon as possible, but now he is not moving, he must have something to rely on, this move is intended to pacify the Xiliang Land in one fell swoop, don't act rashly first, see what he does." ”
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "If Han Sui goes to ask for reinforcements, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to our army." ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Zilong Mo forgot that Zhang Ren has gone to take Horseshoe Bay, take this place, Han Sui will urgently transfer troops from Di Dao, once Wang Ping and them succeed, Han Sui will be the turtle in the urn, waiting to oppose me." ”
