Xiaoguangong

Chapter 219 Ma Chao Comes Too

boom!
Han Sui kicked over the table in front of him, his eyes almost burst into flames.

Shame on your face.

The world is in chaos, and the imperial court has lost control of Guanzhong for many years. Who wants to take the opportunity to plunder the land here.

The generals in Guanzhong have been attacking each other for a long time. If Guan Ping can accept Han Sui's proposal, then for them, the previous battle was just a small conflict.

But he was unwilling to accept Han Sui's kindness.

Well, you are asking for your own death!

How many people can you have under your command? I will destroy you first and then make peace with Cao Cao!
Thinking of this, Han Sui's eyes were full of fierce light.

"Go, tell Meng Qi that our army is in trouble, and ask Meng Qi to send troops to help!"

Yan Xing was silent, he knew that Han Sui was going to do his best.

Now he is in a very complicated mood, hoping that this battle... eh...

He knew that since he chose to follow Han Sui, he had embarked on a road destined to be bloody and difficult to turn back.

Han Sui's momentum was huge, but his attack on Chang'an did not break through, and he had already shown his defeat. Yan Xing didn't think he could last much longer.

I really don't want to stay here any longer, a good man can't open up the Western Regions for the imperial court, instead he wants to lead a group of Qiang Hus to fight in Guanzhong, which makes Yan Xing sigh.

·
In Huayin, Ma Chao has already dispatched and is ready to break through the last barrier in front of Tongguan.

Cao Ren, Xia Houyuan, and Zhong Yao seemed to have completely given up on the idea of ​​a decisive battle with the coalition forces in Guanzhong. As long as they lost Huayin, they would not even be able to defend Tongguan.

It's just that Huayin's guard is Cao Cao's military adviser Jijiu Changdiao. This man Ma Chao has never heard of his name before. He only knows that he is Cao Ren's confidant. He is in charge of an army called "School Affairs". Said to be exactly the same as Guo Jia many years ago.

I don't know what tricks this person can come up with.

Just when Ma Chao was about to supervise the battle and attack the city, Ma Dai hurriedly reported that something had happened to Huayin.

As for what happened, Ma Dai couldn't tell clearly, he had to let Ma Chao see for himself.

Ma Chao was at a loss, not knowing what his brother was doing.

He rode his horse to Huayin City, and was immediately speechless by the scene in front of him.

I saw the gate of Huayin City, the gate of Tongguan, was wide open, and the city was very quiet, but there were obviously a lot of soldiers lying in ambush at the top of the city, and pairs of sharp eyes were closely watching the movements of Ma Chaojun, waiting for a big battle at any time .

No, this, what is going on here?
Ma Chao has experienced hundreds of battles, and it is not that he has never seen a city that directly opened the door and surrendered.

The city that can open the door and surrender either directly put down all resistance and knelt on the side of the road for fear of being slaughtered; or it was a mess, all the people rushed to escape, and the city was very messy.

But the city gate of Huayin was wide open, and looking through the city gate, there were still a few people leisurely sweeping the long street, and even a group of merchants who were not afraid of death and a group of people who were about to escape through Tongguan still bit the bullet and filed into the city. There was no sign of obstruction at the top of the city.

How is this going?
Ma Chao had never seen such a strange scene in his life, he hesitated for a moment, but was still unwilling to lead the army directly into the city.

It is backed by Tongguan. It stands to reason that if Cao Jun is unwilling to fail, it is indeed possible to ambush here.

Although Cao Ren had been severely injured by himself before, the main elite soldiers were still there. If they had a unified command, the rebels might not be able to win easily.

"General, what should we do?" Ma Dai asked in astonishment.

According to Ma Dai's meaning, just go in and forget it.

But all the way, there is only such a distance from Tongguan, Ma Chao must be cautious, if he is ambushed by the main force of Cao Jun in the city, the consequences will be disastrous.

"First...don't attack the city!"

"Why?" Ma Dai asked in surprise.

"Hmph, send someone to pretend to be a merchant to go to the city to have a look, if the city is really calm, it won't be too late for us to enter the city.

When I caught this Chang Diao, I had to ask what was going on. "

Ma Dai thought to himself that Ma Chao was right.

He quickly picked out a few barbarians from his subordinates and asked them to pretend to be merchants from the Western Regions and go into the city to investigate the situation.

Ma Chao waited like this until evening, when a barbarian finally escaped and told Ma Chao an even more shocking news.

The prime minister who guards the city can't sacrifice wine to the barracks, but lies high in the mansion. Even the gate of the mansion is wide open, so he sleeps soundly in the city. A deafening grunt.

"This……"

Ma Chao and Ma Dai looked at each other, and suddenly felt that Chang Diao seemed a little abnormal.

"Could this person really be picky and useless?" Ma Dai asked.

The barbarian smiled wryly and said:
"The younger one also thought so at first, but just as we approached, a few people dressed up as ordinary people suddenly appeared and captured me. My brother still wanted to resist, so he was directly beheaded.

The younger one was also brought to see Chang Diao, but Chang Diao yelled at his subordinates for being troublesome, and then released the younger one. "

"Ah?" Ma Chao was shocked, and hurriedly asked Chang Diao's appearance.

The Hu man recalled:

"That often carves less than thirty years old, tall, with a long beard and black face, and seems to be hollowed out by wine and can't stand steadily.

This son... This son can't see any cleverness, but he yelled loudly, those masters who kidnapped the villain were all respectful, and I saw that they all had admiration on their faces, obviously they really admired this person. "

"Is that so?"

Ma Chao thought for a moment, and immediately felt that the opponent he was facing this time was not easy to deal with.

He had heard from Han Sui many years ago that there was a secret army under Cao Cao's command called Xiaoshi, which was specialized in investigating military situations and spying on intelligence.

At that time, their commander Guo Jia was quick-witted and cautious, but he was too greedy and lustful, so he died of illness early.

The current commander-in-chief, Chang Diao, is not very good-looking. He had been gambling in Tongguan before, but he made a plan to capture Liu Xiongming directly. Liu Xiongming was still hesitating whether to join the Guanzhong coalition before. capture.

Now that Huayin is in crisis, this person has rushed to Huayin in person, which is enough to show that he is an important figure in Cao's army, and he rushes to the forefront in every battle.

The school officer under him can find the spies he sent among so many merchants and refugees who entered the city, which shows that he has a strong and elite army under him.

Even though he has already found his whereabouts, he still wants to let him go, and scolds his subordinates for being troublesome, which shows that Chang Diao wants Ma Chao to enter the city with all his heart...

"Some elite soldiers have been ambushed in this city, but luckily they didn't rush into the city..." Ma Chao had a gloomy expression on his face, feeling deeply that he had walked through the gate of hell.

But Ma Dai was dissatisfied, and said loudly: "Who cares about his schemes? My younger brother personally led the crowd to the city to find out the truth. Cao Ren has already walked more than half of it before, if he is blocked by this person, will he be laughed at by the world?"

Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, and was just about to nod his head to tell Ma Dai to be careful, but Han Sui's urgent report came from outside quickly.

The relationship between Han Sui and Ma Chao is very delicate. Both of them are very powerful, and neither can beat the other.

In this battle, Ma Chao took the initiative to recognize Han Sui as his father, and the generals publicly elected Han Sui as the governor, but their soldiers and horses still maintained an independent state. Ma Chao respected Han Sui, and Han Sui never used the tone of a superior to Ma Chao. Order, the two are quite harmonious.

Seeing that the first sentence of Han Sui's urgent letter was to ask him to send troops, Ma Chao couldn't help being a little surprised.

He read down the letter, and his wrist trembled in shock. Ma Chao, who could hold the spear steadily, did not hold the letter firmly.

"Why, how could this be?"

"Dudu Han was defeated in Chang'an, Ma Wan and Cheng Yi were both captured, and the man named Yunshan occupying Chang'an is determined to fight us to the end, this person... hey!"

To be honest, as long as there is a war, there must be different ideas. Ma Chao once advocated attacking Chang'an first, and pulling out this nail first.

However, Cheng Gongying, a confidant under Han Sui's command, believed that blocking Guanzhong and blocking Cao Cao's reinforcements was more important than anything else. If Cao Jun was given a chance to regroup and deploy, their [-] troops would not be able to fight Cao Jun's [-] to [-] troops. Ma Chao admired Cheng Gongying's knowledge Ma Chao also felt that Cheng Gongying's plan was indeed reasonable when chasing and killing Cao Ren's deserter before.

Unexpectedly, when Cao Ren left, Yunshan came.

I only heard that this person was good at water warfare before, but I didn't expect that he could actually annihilate Cheng Yi and Ma Wan in the battle of defending the city. This can be regarded as a blow to the Guanzhong rebels!
"I said a long time ago that Chang'an should be taken first!"

Furious, Ma Chao threw the letter on the ground.

"Lingming and I are going to support Chang'an, you wait here, don't attack the city rashly!"
