Chapter 271: Night Attack on Sima Ying
When the Han army crossed Yiwei and entered the territory of the Qianghu people, Ma Tan felt that the entire territory had undergone great changes.
The specific performance is mainly on the road, and the territory of the Qianghu people basically does not have a complete road.
Ma Tan's 5,000 cavalry entered the Qianghu territory, as if they had entered the uncivilized steppe. The road is basically equal to nothing, and only some traces can be relied on to determine the location of the ancient road.
Therefore, Beidi County has fallen for decades, and many infrastructure facilities have fallen into disrepair during the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Qianghu people have never maintained a well-done Beidi County, and in the end it has returned to the way it was before civilization.
This gave Ma Jian a very headache, that is, how to chase Sima Yi.
You can't even determine the road, and there is no guide in this county, so it is very difficult to chase and kill. Even he didn't know which direction Sima Yi was running, let alone chasing.
This is a very serious problem, especially for Ma Yan, who is preparing to deal with the Qianghu issue.
Since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, going out of the Great Wall to defeat the Xiongnu, the guide is a huge problem. Because the Han people can't recognize the road at all in the vast grassland, they are blind without a guide.
For example, Sima Yi, he had found the locals in advance and hired local Hu people as guides to pass. And Shu Han did not have a lot of contact with Qianghu, and Ma Jian had no place to hire him.
However, Ma Tan had a way to do it, and after some muttering, he made a decision.
Isn't that just a guide? I'll just wait until I'm going to catch a few.
Ma Tan took 5,000 cavalry and found a few Qianghu tribes on the spot without saying a word, and killed them with 5,000 people.
A group of Hu people were resting leisurely in their camp, when suddenly the Han people came in. The Hu people were shocked, and hurriedly tried to resist on horseback, and then they saw what is the most beautiful boy in the northwest of the Han Dynasty.
In just half an hour, the 5,000 Han cavalry wiped out an entire tribe of the Qianghu people. All attempts to resist were crushed, and a large number of people were captured.
Captured the Hu people and packed up all their possessions. Ma Tan divided some people to escort this group of captives back to Liangzhou, and selected a few greedy people from them as guides to lead the Han army to pursue the Wei army.
"You guys lead the way, and the big man will give you enough rewards. If you lead me to a place with a lot of people...... You'd better pray that the Hu people will kill me. Ma Tan looked at these Hu people, showed a little smile, and calmly admonished them.
Several guides nodded hurriedly, indicating that they would never dare to act rashly.
Of course, it's not honest......
After that, under the guidance of the guide, Ma Tan successfully arrived at a large group of Hu tribes. Later, Ma Tan led the Han cavalry all the way forward and slaughtered this group of Hu people who stood in the way on the territory of the old Beidi County.
In the face of the heavily armed Han army, the Qianghu tribe was generally unable to resist. And the cavalry archery they are good at, when the cavalry cannot be suppressed on a large scale, can only be a live target for the cavalry to practice the spur.
Witnessed Ma Tan slaughter two tribes in a row, and then killed several of the most dishonest guides, and the rest of the guides were completely dead. Only then did he honestly lead the Han army on the right path and pursue Sima Yi all the way.

At this time, Sima Yi had already crossed Beidi County with his troops and horses, and he was on the edge of the Yellow River.
"Father! We have reached the bank of the Yellow River, as soon as we find a ferry to cross the river, we will return to Guanzhong. Sima Shi pointed to the other side of the Yellow River and reported to Sima Yi.
"Very good, I'm finally going to arrive in Guanzhong." Sima Yi sighed, narrowed his eyes and said.
"When I return to Guanzhong, I must talk to Your Majesty about Guanzhong Tuntian. Otherwise, when Xishu digests Yongliang cleanly, I'm afraid that Guanzhong won't be able to keep it. ”
Sima Yi has always had a very clear understanding of the situation, and from the beginning he knew that Yongliang would not be able to keep it.
Therefore, his plan was to destroy Liangzhou and make it difficult for Shu Han to rely on Yongliang to exert force against Guanzhong. Later, he personally sat in Chang'an, developed soldiers and horses with the advantages of Guanzhong, and fought a decisive battle with the Shu army in the Guanzhong Plain.
It's a pity that the battle of Pingyangqiu knocked Sima Yi's courage away. Now he just wants to hurry back to Guanzhong and establish a strong defense line as soon as possible.
It's too late to wait for the Shu army to come, I'm afraid he won't have the confidence to hold Guanzhong.
"Envoy! There was a quick horse report that General Chen Tai led his troops less than thirty miles to the west. ”
But at this time, Fei Yao rushed back with a scout and reported to Sima Yi.
"Huh? Why is Xuanbo here? Sima Yi was slightly stunned and asked a little suspiciously.
General Chen said that he was ordered by His Majesty to lead 30,000 troops to rescue Liangzhou. As a result, in Zushou, he was attacked by Wei Yan, the general of the northern part of Shu Zhenbei. Although General Chen fought bravely to kill the enemy, he still failed to defeat Wei Yan and had to withdraw his troops here. ”
"Fight bravely to kill the enemy, heh......" Sima Yi rolled his eyes, and understood what was going on.
Chen Tai didn't fight against Wei Yan, but was beaten by Wei Yan. The attack did not dare to advance, and when he retreated, he was afraid of being held accountable by Cao Rui, so he could only lead the troops to be stationed at this border to watch.
"In that case, then so-and-so will wait for him here for a while, and Uncle Xuan will come and join me as soon as possible and return to Guanzhong with his troops." Sima Yi shook his head, expressing his helplessness at this group of teammates who couldn't help at all.
But helpless, Chen Tai is the son of Chen Qun, and the Chen family is the Cao Wei family. For this face, Sima Yi still has to sell it if he is unwilling.
Someone was sent to inform Chen Tai to lead the troops to come to converge, and Sima Yi took the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to camp down and prepare to wait.
It was just like this that it became the biggest shame in Sima Yi's life.

More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Sima Yi camped down on the edge of the Yellow River, preparing to rest for the night and wait for Chen Tai to lead the troops to arrive.
However, when the sun was about to set, more than 5,000 Han cavalry finally caught up.
"It's nice to finally catch up." Ma Jian chased after Jiang Wei Ma Dai and others, and when he saw the banner of the Wei army looming in the distance, Ma Jian finally laughed.
TMD's guides are still not honest, and they will take you to the right path and pick a lot of people. I met five or six Qianghu tribes on the way, and Ma Jian couldn't make a detour in a hurry, so he could only be wiped out.
Along the way, Ma Jian only felt very boring, even a little boring. Fortunately, now that he has caught up with Sima Yi, a hearty battle is about to start.
With Ma Dai Jiang Wei all the way over, Ma Jian is also very tired, okay!
"Boyo, Bozhan, pass my order, the second watch will make rice, and the third watch will follow me to attack the Wei army camp at night! Today, I want to capture Sima Yi's father and son alive! Ma Yan turned his head to look at Ma Dai, who was also covered in dust, and Jiang Wei, who had a handsome face that was almost frozen, and commanded with a smile.
"Yui!" Jiang Wei and Ma Dai glanced at each other, and both replied at the same time.
There are only two chapters left today, which is one chapter owed
Now there should be about 20 chapters owed in Shuzhong, counting today's rounding up to count 30 chapters, and it should be able to pay off in a month during the winter vacation......
