Chapter 235: The Rumor Leaks
It stands to reason that Han Sui should send troops to attack at the same time as Hutu Hun Evil, Han Sui attacked Liangzhou in the east of Hexi, and Hutu Hun Xie attacked Liangzhou in the south of the northern border, forming two fronts, forcing Ma Chao to have to carry out a difficult two-front battle, and he lacked skills, which was the best strategy.
And Han Sui, who has always been treacherous and cunning, did not adopt the strategy that was most beneficial to him and the most unfavorable to Ma Chao, but chose the strategy of letting Hutu Hun attack first, which clearly gave Ma Chao a chance to break through one by one. Therefore, this is definitely not Han Sui's real choice.
Yang Biao suddenly realized that there is only one truth, that is, Ma Chao must be conquering Hexi, so Hutu Hun will attack desperately, and Yang Fu will be sent to command Lu Shuihu people to resist Hutu Hun evil! In other words, Ma Chao had already started the expedition to Hexi. And before Ma Chao told him that he was going to Longxi to divide the fields, and under the pretext that it was important to find mineral deposits, he transferred him out of Jincheng and sent him to Hexi, which was actually confusing him and breaking him away! And Yang Fu and others' previous explanations all make sense!
Yang Biao was shocked, because he knew that it had been nearly twenty days since Ma Chao had confused him last time. And Ma Chao chose to conquer Hexi at this time, Han Sui must not have expected that Ma Chao would come to conquer him so soon. In an unprepared situation, Yang Biao couldn't imagine how long Han Sui would be able to resist, maybe he had been completely defeated by Ma Chao at this time!
This is what Yang Biao is most afraid of, if Ma Chao has already defeated or is about to defeat Han Sui, then the expected two-sided attack between Han Sui and Huangfu Song, and Ma Chao has to fight on two fronts, will be completely shattered. When Ma Chao defeats Han Sui, who is much weaker, he can come to fight against Huangfu Song with ease. At this moment, Huangfu Song was still in the dark, stupidly waiting for the expected arrival of January next year, and he still believed that January next year would be the time for Ma Chao to secretly conquer Hexi. As everyone knows, Ma Chao has already led an army in Hexi to fight against Han Sui.
Without further ado, Yang Biao hurriedly summoned the servants and ordered them to dress up as ordinary merchants, with a letter that only read, "Go to Hexi, the big thing is urgent, and you can attack quickly", and they split up and rushed to Chencang City.
On this side, the more Yang Fu and Pang De thought about it, the more wrong it became. Yang Fu said: "General Zhang's sentence is actually full of loopholes, and it is difficult to ensure that Yang Biao's old guy sees through it!" ”
Pound was also very nervous, and said: "I said goodbye to him too quickly, and I only talked to him for a while, and the wine and food have not been touched much." I'm afraid Yang Biao will be suspicious. ”
Yang Fu was shocked and said, "No, he already suspects!" ”
Pound said, "What do you mean by that? ”
Yang Fu said anxiously: "It is true that as the general said, he said goodbye in such a hurry, but Yang Biao did not have any intention of retaining, and he did not say a word of retention. When ordinary people say goodbye, they can't help but say a few words of retention to show their reluctance. But Yang Biao was so happy, looking forward to me leaving. He must have figured out the mystery! ”
Pang De was also surprised, and said: "If he already knows that the young master has already led the army west to conquer Han Wenyue, then he will definitely find a way to inform Huangfu Yizhen, so as not to fail in the two-front battle!" ”
Yang Fu said: "Without further ado, General Pang, we must immediately hold Yang Biao and shut him up!" ”
"Good!"
The two of them led more than 100 horsemen to chase after them.
And on this side, after Yang Biao sent out the servants who reported the news, he also guessed that Yang Fu and the others would suspect that he had seen through the plan to hide from the world. In order to keep the world hidden, Yang Fu and others continued to keep Huangfu Song in the dark, and they would definitely come back to him. Yang Biao knew that he couldn't escape the horses of the Xiliang Army, so he leisurely drank and ate food in the long pavilion, waiting for Yang Fu and others to come.
After a while, Yang Biao heard the long-lost sound of horses' hooves, getting closer and closer. Yang Biao was unmoved, because he had already brought the news out, and he couldn't escape. Yang Fu and Pang De led a hundred horsemen to immediately surround the long pavilion, and the siege was impassable.
Yang Fu and Pang De saw that Yang Biao had dismissed his servants, and he was the only one who was still drinking and eating under the empty long pavilion, so they knew that Yang Biao had seen through the matter of hiding from the world and the sea, and there was no need to doubt it anymore.
Seeing the poor dagger, Yang Fu and Pang De were too lazy to maintain a superficial colleague relationship with Yang Biao. As the news leaked by Yang Biao, Yang Biao, Yang Fu, and Pang De have torn off their own disguises and the other party's disguise, and everyone knows that the other party has nakedly exposed the true face of the enemy.
Pang De quickly led his troops into the long pavilion, stood in front of Yang Biao's table, and treated him coldly. Yang Biao drank a glass of wine, only raised his head to look at Pang De, and did not speak. Yang Fu walked in and said in a deep voice: "I thought that it would take a while to meet Yang Gong and you to see the poor dagger, but I didn't expect the poor dagger to come so quickly!" ”
Yang Biao looked at Yang Fu with a smile and said, "Can Yang sacrifice wine be drunk with Zaixia?" ”
Pound said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! Yang Biao, since you have seen through the young master and gone to Hexi, I can't keep you! ”
When Yang Biao heard this, he laughed and said, "Rebel and thief, you dare to threaten like this?" ”
Yang Fu said angrily: "Yang Biao, you should know that only the dead can keep secrets!" ”
Yang Biao said disdainfully: "If you kill you, you can't stop the leakage of the rumors." ”
Yang Fu and Pang De were shocked and said, "What do you mean? ”
Yang Biao said disdainfully: "I have already sent more than a dozen entourages in Xia, dressed up in new clothes, and rushed to Chencang City with intelligence. ”
Pound said: "I ride in the West Iron, fast as lightning, can't I catch up with your mere entourage?" ”
Yang Biao sneered: "General Pang, you think things are simple. The retinue sent out below were all well-trained sergeants and rode good horses. Besides, I have already explained it below, let them go their separate ways and go their own way. Even if the general can catch one or two of them, how can he catch them all? As long as one of them managed to escape and escape to Chencang, Huangfu Song would know. ”
Pound and Yang Fu were deeply shocked and fidgeted. At the moment, Ma Chao has not sent any news back, that is to say, Ma Chao is still trapped in Hexi and has not returned. And Huangfu Song estimated that he would receive the news from Yang Biao in a few days, and he would definitely attack at that time. A two-front battle will eventually be inevitable!
Yang Biao saw that both of them had shocked looks on their faces, so he said, "How?" Scared, right? Zai Xia and the imperial court have long known that Ma Teng and Ma Chao harbor evil intentions and will definitely rebel, just like Han Sui. Therefore, the imperial court arranged a full 100,000 foot cavalry to eliminate the Fufeng Ma clan and recover Liangzhou. At present, Ma Chao is trapped in Hexi, and Huangfu Song attacks Liangzhou from the east. Ma Chao only has 40,000 horsemen, and there are thousands of miles between Hexi and Sanfu, Ma Chao has to fight between thousands of miles, facing several times the official army, how to be undefeated? Therefore, in the next persuasion, the one who knows the times is Junjie, and Ma Chao's failure is doomed. Don't be obsessed, return to the court as soon as possible, and still be able to save your life! Otherwise, when Huangfu Song defeats Ma Chao, the two of them will lose their lives! ”
After listening, Yang Fu said: "Second and third sons, tie me up!" ”
"Yes!" The soldiers immediately rushed up and tied Yang Biao with ropes, unable to move.
Yang Biao was furious and said, "Yang Fu, you are doing this with good words and persuasions?!" ”
Yang Fu and Pang De ignored Yang Biao, and Pang De said: "Sacrificial wine, I should hurry back to Jincheng to inform the lord, let him take precautions as soon as possible!" ”
Yang Fu nodded, and the two of them quickly ran towards Jincheng with Yang Biao.
……………………………………………………………………
"What?! Are you waiting to say that the news has leaked?! Ma Teng looked at Yang Fu, Pang De and Zhang Ji, who were guilty of pleading in front of him, and exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Ji ignored the thorns behind his back and his back was dripping with blood, and kept kowtowing, saying: "It's all because the last general didn't notice it for a while and talked nonsense, so that Yang Biao could see the clues!" ”
After Ma Teng scolded a few words, he asked Yang Fu again: "What about Yang Biao?" ”
Yang Fu also gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and said, "I have brought it back." However, the lord, Yang Biao has already sent someone to secretly flee back to Chen Cang, and his subordinates estimate that in a few days, Chen Cangcheng will receive the news. ”
Seeing that the matter had come to this, Ma Teng ordered the soldiers to untie the thorns on the backs of the three of them, and said, "Okay, the matter has come to this, let's discuss what to do!" ”
Yang Fu said: "My lord, Huangfu Songtun is stationed in Chencang, facing Liangzhou. And Liangzhou faces Sanfu, and there are two places that must not be guarded. ”
"Those two?"
Yang Fu said: "Street Pavilion and Dasanguan. If one of them is conquered and taken by Huangfu Song, then he can invade the hinterland of my Liangzhou without hindrance, just like the young master, and the situation will be very grim at that time. ”
After hearing this, Ma Teng said: "Liangzhou still has 10,000 infantry and 14,000 cavalry at this time. I can't go head-to-head with Huangfu Song, I can only stick to it. Where are Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji? ”
"The last general!" Duan Xuan and Zhang Ji shouted.
"The two of you each command 5,000 infantry troops, stick to the street pavilion and the Dasan Pass, and if there is no order, you are not allowed to go out of the pass, and fight with Huangfu Song!"
"Whoa!"
Ma Teng said again: "Where are Pang De, Yang Fu, Zhi Yuanduo, Yijian concubines, Yang Qiu, and Liang Xing?" ”
"The last general!"
Ma Teng said: "14,000 horsemen, I am the main general, Pang De is the deputy general, Yang Fu is the military advisor to sacrifice wine, Zhi Yuanduo, Yijian prostitute concubine, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing are the captains, go to the street pavilion!" ”
Yang Qiu and Liang Xing, like Zhi Yuanduo and Yi Jian's concubines, were all generals, because the two did have some talent for leading troops to fight, so Ma Teng used them as captains.
"Yes!"
In addition, Ma Teng ordered Yan Zhong and others to stay in Jincheng temporarily to manage the affairs of Liangzhou. But the news accidentally leaked and Gai Xun knew about it, and Gai Xun immediately came to accuse Ma Teng, and asked him to lead his army to surrender to Huangfu Song, and then ask for forgiveness from the imperial court.
Of course, Ma Teng did not agree, and temporarily detained Gai Xun. Ma Teng was afraid that Huangfu Song's troops were five times his strength, so he ordered the temporary suspension of the conscription project in Liangzhou. Fortunately, under Yang Biao's organization, most of the forced labor projects have been completed. Ma Teng ordered the requisition of 100,000 people to deliver military rations to Jieting; Then order 50,000 people who were once in the Xiliang Army to step up training and serve as reserves.
