Chapter 423: Crossing the River in White Robes

"If you are not Simbi, why should you cower in the city and not go forward? Donglai Wangji is a brave and good fighter, and often leads troops first. ”

For Xin Bi to pretend to be calm, Ma Jian just shook his head lightly and said unhurriedly,

"Only the former staff of Yuan Tan, the disgraced Xin Bi of the Kwantung Shi clan, will retreat in the city without moving forward in the case of 20,000 to 1,000 people, right?"

"But if you want me to say, it's better for Captain Xin to repeat his old tricks directly, and directly surrender the soldiers with Tongguan to the Han. In this way, the general can not only preserve the glory and wealth, but also use these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as bargaining chips to fight for a good way out. ”

"After all, it's not the first time you've done this, didn't you just sell Yuan Tan to Cao Cao in the first place to let you sit in this position? The left and right are all fake public and private, and it will be ...... to do it again."

"You fart!" Hearing this, Simbi's blood pressure has already risen. Just now, I had always thought that Ma Jian was slandering Wang Ji and didn't feel it, but now that he really felt it on himself, Xin Bi felt his anger soar wildly.

What do you call me fake public and private, Yuan Tan is obviously stupid to death, what do you care about me? Lao Tzu TMD is a Yingchuan scholar, and he still needs chips to sit in this position!

However, Xin Bi still suppressed his anger and did not let it go. On the one hand, Xin Bi himself is good at forbearance, and on the other hand, it is also because he really can't beat TMD!

"No matter how provocative you are, how can I do what you want? I'm afraid that your Shu army has already laid an ambush outside the city, so I'm waiting for me to take the bait, right? Simbi eased his breathing, then his face calmed down and said,

"Unfortunately, how can it be as you wish? Such a low-level agitation method is not enough to provoke me! If you have the ability, you will come to attack the city, and if you want me to go out of the city to face the battle, don't even think about it! ”

After speaking, Xin Bi directly slipped away and turned away, stunned that he had no nostalgia at all. If he stays any longer, he is afraid that Ma Jian will make some more violent remarks, and it will be bad if he really can't help but go out of the city to compare with him.

"It's worthy of being an old thing from Yuan Shao's era, it's just calm." Ma Tan shook his head with some regret, looked at the back of Xin Bi leaving, and said to himself,

"But don't let me catch you, if I do, I won't have your good juice to eat!"

At that time, someone must be sent to hold it down and slander it in public...... Condemn him in public for all his crimes and write them down. Ma Tan wanted to see if Xinbi, who was so able to endure it, could still hold back at that time.

Well...... I'm looking forward to it.

It's a pity that Xin Bi was not stimulated in the end, and the Wei army shrank even more. While this is a good thing for strategy, it is always inappropriate not to have a chance to die.

Eh, wait, if you want to lure the enemy out, shouldn't I be a little less confident?

Ma Tan's hand touching his beard suddenly paused, feeling as if he had discovered Huadian.

Next time, do you have to be a little more restrained, you have been so arrogant, and it's not appropriate to scare the other party out of the question, right?

…………

When Ma Tan and the main force of the Wei army were holding each other in Huayin, and Xin Bi, who was frightened by bombing, did not dare to go out of the city, the Han army in Weibei was launching a full-scale attack on the Wei army on the front line of Linjin.

The Wei army of Linjin was Chen Tai's army, and most of them retreated from Beidi County. At this moment, Chen Tai himself was seriously ill in bed, and the soldiers were disheartened, obviously unable to stop the strong attack of the Han army.

Under the repeated rapid attacks of the Han army, the Wei army in Linjin was beaten and overwhelmed. Only two days after the start of the battle, the Han army crossed the Fen River and approached the city of Jin.

In this regard, Chen Tai had to stand up in advance to stabilize the morale of the army before his injury was healed. On the one hand, he gathered his troops and insisted on Linjin, and on the other hand, he went to Tongguan for help.

The Kwantung reinforcements were already close at hand, so Chen Tai still felt very hopeful about holding Linjin.

Then, more than ten days passed, and not a single soldier came to support Tongguan. Chen Tai sent people to question, but the reply was that Xin Weiwei led his troops to confront Ma Tan in Huayin, and his troops were short and he was unable to support Chen Tai.

Ma Tan has only 1,000 people, is it worth watching your 30,000 or 40,000 troops?

Chen Tai was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. In the face of Zhang He's elite cavalry of the Han army, he had to shrink the battle line and prepare to retreat to Pubanjin.

But he didn't know that at the moment, Pubanjin was not safe.

To the north of Pubanjin, a group of Han troops quietly appeared on the banks of the Yellow River.

The total number of Han troops in this group was only 4,000, and 3,000 of them were infantry, and only 1,000 cavalry. The attire is not particularly well-made. And the commanders of this group of Han troops are Deng Fan, who is an official to a miscellaneous general, and Shu Ji, a captain of Changshui.

Deng Fan and his 3,000 soldiers, all dressed in winter clothes, trekked all the way to the mountains and rivers, and stopped two hundred miles north of Pubanjin. Looking at the turbulent waters of the Yellow River in front of him, Deng Fan nodded slightly and stammered,

"Poor ...... That's pretty much it...... This is it. ”

"There is no ferry here, and the Yellow River is very fast, and big ships are prone to capsizing, is Shizai really going to cross the river from here?" At this time, Shu Ji appeared behind Deng Fan and asked calmly.

"No, no, no...... That's right! Deng Fan nodded, and before he could continue to speak, Shu Ji had already sent the pen and paper to his hand. Deng Fan hesitated for a moment, then took it and wrote,

"It's close to the north, and it's getting extremely cold as time goes on. According to my understanding in Beidi County, in another three days of severe cold, the Yellow River will definitely freeze, and we will be able to walk on the ice in less than seven days. ”

"So, the white cloth that Shizai asked me to prepare is also for this time?" Shu Ji raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"That's right, that's the general's hint." Deng Fan nodded affirmatively and explained on the paper,

"The general hinted that we should prepare a white cloth, and we must have other ideas. In a few more days, when the sky is full of frost and snow in the north, our army is wearing white robes and stepping on the ice, and we will definitely be able to catch the Wei army off guard! ”

Deng Fan's explanation is very reasonable, and it is obviously a very good plan. But Shu Ji just smiled at this, and suddenly said,

"The one who makes this plan must be the best in the world. However, I have a doubt, but this plan is exactly what the general hinted at...... Or do you have your own thoughts? ”

When the words fell, the field fell into a deathly silence, and Deng Fan himself fell into silence.

Shu Ji, as the first person to follow Ma Tan, has been Ma Tan's subordinate since Chen Cang. Compared with others, he is the person who knows Ma Yan's character best, so Deng Fan's words can't deceive him.

However, Shu Ji can also understand this, after all, with Deng Fan's qualifications, if he doesn't pull the banner of Ma Yan, the military power will not fall on him. So Shu Ji didn't puncture Deng Fan's careful thinking on the spot, but acquiesced to this.

"Shizai, work hard, if this battle is completed, General Shenwei will not treat the heroes badly."
