Great Military Division

Chapter 384 Ma Chao: Taking refuge in Nanyang?
Long County.

When Ma Teng and Han Sui rode their horses back, a strong man greeted them: "Father, uncle, have you returned from the celebration banquet so soon?"

"Participate in fart's celebration banquet."

Ma Teng was furious, stared at his son and shouted back at his son, and said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and beat the drums to gather generals. Everyone above the rank of lieutenant lieutenant will participate. You must not be absent without reason. There is an important announcement."

"Here."

Although Ma Tie didn't know what happened, but from the angry look on his father's face, he knew that something big must happen, and there were some people led by Gao Guanbo behind him, which made people even more suspicious.

"Sir, this way please, we are all at your command."

"Anyway, we're back safely."

"."

Seeing his father and uncle's respect for that man, and what he said "is back safely", Ma Tie didn't dare to hesitate any more, left in a hurry, and was ordered to beat the drum, preparing to call the generals to discuss the affairs.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Boom—!
The dull and rhythmic beating of drums sounded.

The battalion leaders rushed to the Chinese army tent one after another.

Soon.

All the chief generals of the armies gathered in the full tent, lined up from left to right.

Han Sui's stern gaze swept over all the civil and military personnel, and he said without any nonsense, "Today, I was going to rush to Chang'an to attend the celebration banquet of Chaoer and my son-in-law."

"However, this is just Chang'an Yuan Kai's strategy. They were defeated in Hedong, so they wanted to recruit us and become their vassals to fight against Nanyang together."

"Thanks to the help of this gentleman, the two of us were spared from being killed. From now on, our soldiers and horses will officially take refuge in Nanyang. If anyone wants to quit, they can leave now."

Only then did Ma Tie understand why his father was so angry. It turned out that this trip to Chang'an had almost cost him his life, and it was simply unreasonable for these guys to dare to do anything to his father.

Immediately, Ma Tie's face turned sullen, he took a step angrily, and shouted loudly: "We will all listen to the general, and absolutely no one will quit. We will not serve those bastards in Chang'an."

"Yes, I won't serve you anymore."

As soon as Ma Tie yelled, all the civil and military personnel who were full of tents were filled with righteous indignation, shouting in one go:

"It's unreasonable to dare to kill the two generals. I won't serve you anymore, and I will definitely not serve you anymore."

"Crap! Let's raise our troops, go to Chang'an, kill those bastards, and avenge the two generals!"

"Yes, revenge, kill them all!"

"Kill them all, not one left!"

"."

Xun You had to admit it.

These rough men in Liangzhou are all real men.

Before Han Sui and Ma Teng shouted, they became restless. How can such a team be ineffective.

Ma Teng waved his hand to signal the soldiers to keep quiet, and then said: "This is Xun You from Nanyang Hanting. He saved us. Now we have to follow his arrangement on how we go."

"That's right!"

Han Sui immediately added: "Xun Lingjun of Hanting in Nanyang is this person's uncle. He is the only one who can contact His Majesty the Emperor in Nanyang. We will follow his instructions on how we will go next."

In an instant.

The eyes of all the civil and military men focused on Xun You. Even Xun You himself couldn't believe it. There seemed to be a strange light shining in the eyes of these rough men in the tent.

Ma Teng said in a low voice: "Sir, the imperial court has always treated the warriors of the border counties equally, so these brothers in Liangzhou have been looking forward to Nanyang for a long time, you can order with peace of mind."

It turned out to be the case.

Xun You was still worried that he would not be able to suppress these guys and could only rely on Ma Teng and Han Sui, but he never thought that the influence of Nanyang Hanting would be so terrifying in Bianjun.

"Ah."

At that moment, Xun You nodded affirmatively, turned to look at the generals in the tent, and said loudly: "Today's battle with Chang'an, we have completely torn our skins against it. If I guess correctly, there will be a next step in the direction of Chang'an." action."

"So, we can't sit still and wait for death. We need to prepare in advance so that we can remain invincible and wait for the latest instructions from the court."

Han Sui bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Sir, just speak out, and we will obey orders."

Ma Teng followed suit and nodded: "That's right, sir, just speak up."

"it is good!"

Xun You was very satisfied with the attitudes of Han Sui and Ma Teng: "Since that's the case, let me speak bluntly! Guanxi is divided into Guanzhong and Longyou with Longshan as the boundary."

"Chang'an wants to enter Longyou and destroy us. There are only two ways. One is to take the ancient Silong Road and attack Long County by force; the other is to take the narrow road of Chencang and enter Yicheng."

"If I were the enemy army, I would definitely divide my troops into two routes. One route would take the ancient Silong Road to contain our troops, and the other route would take the Chen Cang narrow road and enter Yicheng, thereby threatening our army's rear."

"so."

Xun You made a decisive decision and said sonorously: "We should take the lead in occupying Yicheng before Chang'an can react, and guard the narrow road of Chencang, so as to be invincible."

Ma Teng frowned: "Yicheng?"

Xun You nodded: "That's right!"

Han Sui sighed: "Ke Yicheng is garrisoned by Geng Qiu. This person's heart is for Chang'an, so I'm afraid it's not easy to do it."

"This point, I don't know."

Xun You had already expected it, so he would naturally be prepared: "The two generals are in Longyou and have absolute influence. As long as this person can be killed, the situation in Yicheng will definitely be stabilized quickly."

"Mr. mean"

Ma Teng frowned and looked up at Xun You.

"It's simple."

Xun Youlang said: "Yuan Kai is inviting you to enter Chang'an, and we will take the initiative to enter Yicheng. We only need to bring some personal soldiers, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion."

"As for another person to lead the army, to respond from the outside, and both inside and outside, great things will surely be accomplished. As long as we can occupy Longxian County and Yicheng, even Huangfusong will have nothing to do with me."

"it is good!"

Han Sui nodded without hesitation: "Undefeated is victory. Leave it to me in Yicheng. I think I had a relationship with Geng Qiu back then. If I go, the other party will definitely not doubt it."

"That's it."

Ma Teng patted his chest and promised: "Lead the soldiers and horses from the periphery to support, and leave it to me. Let's join hands. In Liangzhou, who can stop it. You can rest assured that you can enter the city."

"very good."

Xun You nodded with satisfaction: "If this is done, General Han will lead the troops to station in Yicheng, and send people to set up troops in Linwei City, which is in the narrow road of Chencang."

"General Ma Teng will lead the troops to station in Long County, and allocate a part of the troops to guard Xiaoguan. In this way, all the roads from Guanzhong to Longyou will be blocked."

Both of them clasped their hands together: "Here."

About a quarter of an hour.

Han Sui set off from Long County with a team of soldiers and horses, and headed straight for Yicheng.

At the same time, Xun You sent out scouts to search for the team that the opponent was chasing and killing, so that he could lead the troops to deal a head-on blow.

*****
Sili, Chang'an.

Taifu's house.

Yuan Kai folded his hands behind his back, frowned, and paced back and forth from left to right. He was so anxious that he raised his head to look at the door from time to time, expecting the news that Shi Sun Rui would bring back.

If Ma Teng and Han Sui were allowed to return to Long County, then the entire Longyou would become a chess piece arranged by Nanyang Hanting in the rear of Guanzhong, which would be extremely fatal to Chang'an's safety.

How can Yuan Kai not be in a hurry!
"Damn!"

Yuan Kai raised his eyes to stare again, but he still couldn't see Shi Sun Rui, and cursed secretly: "I haven't come back for so long, I think the other party must have diverted ahead of time."

"map!"

Yuan Kai waved his hand in greeting.

"Here."

Yuan Ji hurriedly took out the detailed map in the direction of Chang'an and spread it on the table.

Yuan Kai lowered his head, and kept walking on it with his fingers: "Guanzhong is a plain, and the only place to ambush is the forest. From Long County to Chang'an, Yang Zan must take this road."

"So."

With this in mind, Yuan Kai locked several directions: "Meiyang is the most suspect. It's not too far from Chang'an, nor too close. As long as Yang Zan is defeated, he can go back the same way, or cross the river, and seek further distance."

"Yes."

Yuan Ji suddenly realized, and nodded slowly: "But uncle, I'm afraid Sun Rui"

Yuan Kai sighed, frowned and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up."

Yuan Ji couldn't help but sighed, "I didn't expect this Xun You to know the key points of the art of war, and to grab points so accurately. If Ma Teng and Han Sui return to Long County, I'm afraid it won't do us any good."

"Have you sent someone to invite Huangfusong?"

Yuan Kai asked hurriedly, he didn't know much about the art of war, so he had to ask Huangfusong for help.

Only by letting Huangfusong sit in Chang'an can he really feel at ease.

"Uncle, don't worry, it has been arranged."

Yuan Ji nodded with absolute certainty: "If it's fast, we can arrive tomorrow evening. Let's gather our soldiers and horses, and maybe we can catch Ma Teng and Han Sui before they are in shock."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Yuan Kai looked up.

But see, Shi Sunrui broke into the palace disheveled and unkempt, and the moment he met Yuan Kai, he almost didn't cry: "Teacher, the last general has a heavy entrustment, and he failed to catch up with Ma Teng and Han Sui."

Yuan Kai already had a prediction, but he didn't panic, he just asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Shi Sun Rui took a deep breath, and immediately confessed: "It's like this. When the last general led the fine cavalry to hunt down, he walked near Meiyang and found General Yang's body, so he continued to lead his troops to hunt down."

"But along the way, there were horse traps and roadblocks, which greatly delayed our army's marching speed. When we arrived near Longxian County, we encountered Ma Teng and Han Sui's soldiers and horses, killing us all. Big defeat."

"The last general."

As far as this is concerned, Shi Sunrui was already in tears and weeping loudly: "If the last general hadn't fought desperately and killed the enemy one after another, I'm afraid he would never come back again, and he would never see the Taifu."

Yuan Kui looked Shi Sun Rui up and down. Although he was unkempt and extremely embarrassed, he didn't have any wounds on his body, let alone a little blood.

Obviously!

The other party was lying, he didn't fight desperately at all, killing enemies one after another, otherwise how could there be no blood stains?
Of course, although Yuan Kai saw through his nonsense, he didn't expose it. Instead, he nodded and said softly: "It's hard work, you should go back and rest earlier."

Seeing that Yuan Kai didn't blame himself, Shi Sunrui hurriedly bowed, "Here!"

Looking at the back of Shi Sunrui leaving, Yuan Ji asked curiously: "Uncle, Shi Sunrui is obviously lying, he must have no strength to fight, why didn't you deal with him?"

"It's simple."

Although Yuan Kui hated it, he still held back and said, "Because we are short of major generals. If the general Sun Rui is killed, who will lead the troops? Could it be me?"

"This"

If you think about it carefully, it really makes sense.

Yuan Kai pinched his beard and sighed: "Anyway, this person is at least loyal, and he is quite capable. Keeping him can be somewhat useful."

Yuan Ji nodded slowly: "I see."

Yuan Kai said softly: "Don't think too much about it. The most important thing for us now is to prepare our soldiers and horses. As soon as Huangfusong comes back, we will send troops to Long County immediately, and we must take it down at all costs."

Yuan Ji bowed: "Here."

"How many soldiers and horses are there in Chang'an?"

"About 3 to [-] people."

"How about gathering all the soldiers and horses from all counties?"

"There can be thousands more soldiers and horses, but uncle, the battle of those soldiers and horses"

"I can't control that much anymore. We only care about soldiers, horses, food and grass. As for the use of soldiers, it is Huangfusong's business."

"Ok."

"."

******
Hangu Pass.

barracks.

Somewhere in the tent.

At this moment, Ma Chao held a spear, imitating Zhang Fei's move, and attacked Yan Xing in slow motion: "Yes, the move is indeed like this, but it is very powerful, and it is relatively difficult to withstand such an attack. "

"Ah."

Yan Xing nodded affirmatively: "The most important thing is that Zhang Fei grasps the timing of this move very well every time, and his offensive is perfect."

"Instead of thinking about how to break his trick, we should think about how to prevent him from creating opportunities to use this trick and fundamentally prevent the opponent's attack."

Ma Chao's eyes brightened, and he said with great interest: "Brother Yan is right, Zhang Fei is a thief that should not be underestimated, and this trick has put me at the bottom twice."

"Damn!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists: "It's unbelievable that this guy is so powerful. He's obviously not much older than me."

"Don't worry, Brother Chao."

Yan Xing patted Ma Chao on the shoulder and comforted him: "You have your advantages, and you have made great progress during this period of time. It may not be long before even I may not be your opponent."

Ma Chao smiled lightly: "Brother Yan said nothing, let's learn from each other and make progress together, that's all. In the future, you and I will be the two heroes of Liangzhou, just like General Han and my father."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded from outside the tent.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing turned their heads to look.

But seeing, a soldier transferred into the account, bowed his body and cupped his hands and said: "Two generals, there is a man outside the camp who claims to be from Liangzhou. He has something urgent to see the two generals."

"Oh?"

Ma Chao couldn't help being surprised: "From Liangzhou?"

The soldier nodded: "Exactly."

"It must have been sent by my father."

Ma Chao was very happy, and waved his hand: "Let him in."

The soldier cupped his hands: "Here."

Soon.

The soldiers led a man into the tent.

The man stepped forward and bowed to him: "My servant, Wang Mu, met the two generals."

Ma Chao and Yan Xing were all taken aback: "Wang Mu?"

The two had never heard of this name.

Wang Mu nodded: "That's right, it's me, the two generals may not know about me, but it doesn't matter, I just came to tell the two generals a piece of news."

"What's the news?"

Ma Chao and Yan Xing couldn't help becoming cautious.

Wang Mu knew that there was not enough time, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "Chang'an has already lost in the Battle of Hedong, which led to the complete failure of Chang'an's grand strategy."

"Grand strategy?"

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard the words, and asked with a frown, "What is the grand strategy?"

Yan Xing didn't know why: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Uh"

Wang Mu was a little embarrassed, so he simply abandoned the experience and went straight to the result: "Let me put it this way, Tai Fu Yuan Kui wanted to force the army of Liangzhou to be recruited, and now he may have already attacked the two generals Ma Teng and Han Sui. You two are gone."

"what?"

Ma Chao was taken aback.

Yan Xing was even more taken aback.

The two obviously didn't believe Wang Mu's words, and stared at each other suspiciously: "What do you mean by that?"

Wang Mu didn't bother to say any more. If he continued to stay, he might be exposed: "I have already reminded you, so you can take care of yourself. If my guess is right, we will see the result tomorrow morning."

"Farewell."

After saying that, Wang Mu turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Just come to someone, say something inexplicable, and then leave?

Although Ma Chao and Yan Xing don't know much about grand strategy, they are not easy to fool: "You two generals, do you have any questions?"

Ma Chao stopped Wang Mu, and said in a cold voice, "Believe it or not, with just one order from this general, you can be shredded into thousands of pieces."

Wang Mu nodded: "I naturally understand that since I'm here tonight, I don't think about going back, but if I die in the hands of you two, I may die with regret."

Yan Xing was aggressive: "What do you mean?"

Wang Mu was indifferent, and answered quickly: "I came to save you, but I died at your hands. If this matter were placed on you, would you be willing?"

Ma Chao frowned, judging from the other party's expression, it didn't look like he was joking, and the other party's behavior didn't seem to be joking:

"It's a big deal, why should I trust you?"

"This"

Naturally, Wang Mu couldn't produce evidence.

After all, he just received a letter from Fei Ge: "I only received information, but no evidence, so there is no way to convince the two generals."

"so."

Wang Mu bowed his hands and said calmly: "It is my duty to remind you two, but whether you believe it or not is your own business."

"But I still want to remind you that, as General Ma said, this is a big matter, I'd rather believe it, be careful, be careful, don't believe it, just in case."

After saying that, Wang Mu bowed again: "I bid farewell."

This time, Ma Chao didn't stop him, and let Wang Mu leave, and turned to Yan Xing: "Brother Yan, what do you think about this matter?"

Yan Xing frowned, pinching a strand of beard under his chin: "I'm not sure to pay attention, but what the man said made some sense, we still have to be careful, otherwise if something happens, our lives will be lost."

"But."

The sudden change made it difficult for Ma Chao to accept, and he didn't know what to think: "If this is true, how should we deal with it tomorrow?"

"Since we are being persecuted, our father and uncle who want to come to Long County will also be persecuted. If we go to Guanzhong, it will be a dead end. We can't take refuge in Nanyang, right?"

Yan Xing stared at Ma Chao: "Why not?"

"what?"

Ma Chao was stunned, with an expression of disbelief: "Go to Nanyang?"

Yan Xing nodded loudly: "If we are persecuted, it proves that your father-in-law and my father-in-law have already been persecuted. We may take refuge in Nanyang Hanting, and maybe we can get revenge, but if we go back to Guanzhong, there is really only a dead end left."

Ma Chao frowned: "But, how do we get out of the customs?"

Yan Xing shook his head: "Let's play by ear, what if that person is talking nonsense?"

Ma Chao nodded: "That's the only way."

The next morning.

The rooster announces the dawn, and the sky is full of dawn.

Outside Hangu Pass.

Sure enough, Liu Bei led his troops to appear, and Zhang Fei, carrying his Zhangba spear, stepped forward again to call for battle.

Ma Chao and Yan Xing both stood outside the city, fighting against them as usual.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
Jin Ming exploded, sparks splashed.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten rounds between the two sides coming and going.

Zhang Fei pressed Ma Chao's silver spear with a spear, raised his eyes to glance at the top of the city, saw that the distance was relatively far away, and said reassuringly, "Boy, someone must have told you last night."

"Ok?"

Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, staring at Zhang Fei: "How do you know?"

Zhang Fei smiled lightly: "That's my Majesty's assassination in Guanzhong. They got the information, Yuan Kai wants to attack your father, and if he rushes to Hangu Pass, he will definitely order Fu Gan to attack you."

"Now that you are taking refuge in Nanyang Hanting, you may still have a chance of surviving, but if you go back to Hangu Pass, you may never be able to get out again. You should think about it."

Ma Chaoqiang supported Zhang Fei's move: "You are talking nonsense! We are the heroes who assassinated Dong Zhuo. Why did the Taifu want to attack my father? You are afraid that you can't kill me. Did you do it on purpose?"

"Humph!"

Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he was furious: "Brat, do you believe it or not, do you really think I can't kill you?"

At that moment, a strong force passed along the shaft of the spear along the front of the gun and into Ma Chao's body. Ma Chao gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist desperately, preventing him from advancing an inch.

"If you don't believe me, let's fight for a while longer. It won't be long before Fu Gan will receive the news. That is the order from Chang'an."

Ma Chao was also doubtful at first, and immediately raised his head and looked at him in disbelief: "Hit for a while, hit for a while, do you think I'm afraid you won't succeed? Just yesterday, we discussed how to break your moves. Let's try the effect today."

"Oh?"

Zhang Fei was astonished, and his eyes were full of joy: "If this is the case, it is naturally the best. Come on, let's have a good fight."

Ma Chao smiled lightly: "I can't ask for it."

clang-!
At that moment, Ma Chao knocked off Zhang Fei's weapon, swung the silver spear in his hand, aimed at Zhang Fei's weakly defended waist and eyes, and swept away the army without any fancy.

Although the shot came quickly and fiercely, Zhang Fei was not one of the easy-going people. He immediately pulled back the Zhangba spear, and the spear stabbed obliquely back to block, accurately intercepting Ma Chao's attack in the middle:
"Humph."

With a soft snort, Zhang Fei cheered up: "Look at me!"

Ma Chao hastily returned to defense: "Come on, I, Ma Chao, are afraid that you will fail?"

　Thank you [Forgotten Memories] for the reward of 5000 coins!
　　Thanks to [Feng Yu Wu Fei] Sister Fei for rewarding 1500 coins!
