The Assassin Empire of the Three Kingdoms

The water army won another battle, and Cao's army was renewed and encouraged.Cao Cao immediately ordered Yujin to be promoted to General Yang Wei, with five hundred households in Shiyi, and Mao Jie to be promoted to General Dangkou.These two people can be regarded as stealing the limelight, at least in the official position, they can be considered to be at the forefront of the crowd.Even Cao Cao's brothers Cao Hong, Xiahoudun, and Xiahouyuan were all behind the ban.

Seeing Cao Cao's favor for the ban, the generals who were pawns felt extremely uncomfortable.The Battle of Hebin Village had completely embarrassing the pawns, and they have not regained their face until now.Since the navy can win two battles and two victories, why can't their infantry fight in one battle?

Le Jin didn't wait for Cao Cao to finish his praise, he stood up and said, "My lord, I would like to lead the troops to sneak across the Yangtze River and give the Longsun coalition army a hard blow by land!"

Li Dian took a look at Le Jin, stood up and said, "My lord, the last general is willing to go too!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao said with a chuckle, "You two are very motivated to fight! Very good! In this battle, the navy has made a good start, and then we will be invincible. Fighting by land is also a..."

"My lord!" Before Cao Cao could finish speaking, Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped Cao Cao: "The water army won the Quannai chain of warships, but the land route may not be easy. Long Fei's soldiers and horses are the best in the world. Even tigers and leopards ride……"

"What did you say?" Cao Chun glared at Cheng Yu fiercely: "Tiger and Leopard Riders are brave and good at fighting, and Long Fei used tricks to break them. If he dares to fight with real swords and guns, I will guarantee it with my life. The Jingzhou cavalry must be strong!"

Cao Cao also felt that his army had some opinions.Yu Jin's two victories, the reason why I rewarded him so much was to arouse everyone's fighting spirit, but now it seems to be counterproductive.There was some hatred between the generals of the army and the generals of the navy.Cao Cao hastily smiled and said, "Both the navy and the army are my right-hand men. Today I punched with the right fist, and tomorrow it may be the left fist. It will not take a day or two to pacify Jiangdong and Jingzhou. We have to fight against the enemy together." Get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Report...!" The messenger yelled and broke into the big tent, interrupting the quarrel of the crowd: "My lord, Chang'an is a great victory!"

"Get it up quickly!" Cao Cao's hands were shaking with excitement!Cao Chun hurriedly took the bamboo slips from the messenger, and handed them to Cao Cao with both hands.Cao Cao couldn't wait, and hurriedly unfolded it. He laughed after reading a sentence: "Okay! Okay! Finally cleared up this group of capricious guys!"

As stated in the newsletter.Ma Teng believed the words of Zuo Ci, the false god, and led the army from Xiliang to Chang'an.It went very smoothly at the beginning, crossing Xianyang and reaching the outside of Chang'an city.When I got here, I met resistance, a strong and desperate resistance.Zhang Ji, the prefect of Chang'an appointed by Cao Cao, mobilized the whole city to resist Ma Teng.Ma Teng and his son stormed for several days without any effect.

When Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun led the army to Chang'an, Ma Dai once suggested that Ma Teng retreat immediately.But Ma Teng still firmly believed in victory and continued to lead his troops to attack.With reinforcements, Chang'an didn't pay much attention to Ma Teng, under Zhang Ji's suggestion.The Xiahouyuan brothers divided their troops inside and outside, forming horns. When the Xiliang soldiers were exhausted, they attacked twice, and the Xiliang soldiers were defeated.It can be said that there are mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.Following Ma Teng's [-] troops, almost all of them were exhausted. Only hundreds of people from the rear battalion led by Ma Dai escaped by chance, and the rest were surrounded and wiped out.Even Ma Teng, and his two sons, Ma Tie and Matthew, were not spared.

Cao Cao was happy, and passed the good news to everyone, and everyone was full of admiration, and those sycophants even sent all the compliments they could find to Cao Cao's side.Cao Cao was also very happy. Chang'an won a big victory, so he could attack and surround Longfei from both sides, at least he could capture Longfei Wancheng and threaten Xiangyang.

Dong Zhao looked at the good news, and suddenly shouted: "My lord, it's a disaster!"

When everyone was happy, Dong Zhao suddenly said this, which attracted everyone's attention.The joy on Cao Cao's face was also stagnant, and he looked at Dong Zhao with anger, "Chang'an great victory, Xiliang is just around the corner, what's the trouble?"

Dong Zhao hurriedly stepped forward: "Please look, my lord. In this good report, it only said that Ma Teng and his son were arrested, but it didn't say how to deal with it, nor let the lord be punished. If my guess is correct, Ma Teng and his son are in danger! He is powerful in Xiliang and deeply respected by the Qiang people, and the eldest son Ma Chao is talented as a general, and Han Sui is there to help him. If Ma Teng dies, the two will immediately raise troops to take revenge, and Chang'an will once again be in dire straits. ah!"

"Hehe...!" Liu Ye laughed and said, "Master Dong, you are a little sensational, right? Ma Teng is the leader of Xiliang, and they will disperse like birds and beasts once Ma Teng dies. If they dare to come again, they must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard." guts?"

Many people fit Dong Zhao.But Cao Cao and Cheng Yu didn't laugh.Both of them are smart people, and it feels a little inappropriate to hear what Dong Zhao said.If Dong Zhao really followed what Dong Zhao said, his army would be trapped in Chang'an, and his plan of attacking from both sides would not be realized at all, and the land of Sanfu might be lost.Cao Cao remained silent, thinking of countermeasures.

Dong Zhao ignored Liu Ye's ridicule, stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "Master, you should send someone to Chang'an immediately, I hope there is still time!"

Cao Cao turned his eyes and shouted loudly: "Come on, hurry up and go to Chang'an, let Xia Houyuan leave the Ma family father and son behind!"

"Report...!" Just as Cao Cao's voice fell, another call from the messenger came from outside the big tent.Following the sound, an orderly entered the tent with three bundles in his hand.When Dong Zhao saw it, he stamped his feet and beat his chest.Cao Cao also let out a long sigh.Cheng Yu seemed to have some hope, turned his head to look at Cao Cao, and asked, "Are you also from Chang'an?"

The messenger smiled: "Exactly, my lord, all the masters, the villain was ordered to present a gift to the lord. This is the head of Ma Teng and his son, the leader of the Xiliang bandits who invaded Chang'an. Please take a look, my lord!" One by one, they were opened on the ground, revealing three rotten heads.Some knowledgeable advisers and generals all sighed.

"This Xia Houyuan has always been shrewd, why did he make such a big mistake this time?" Cao Cao was displeased and angry.The two messengers from Chang'an didn't know what was going on, and they were too scared to say anything.Jiang Ji hurriedly waved his hand, let the two messengers go down, and said to Cao Cao: "Please calm down, my lord. Since it has happened, it cannot be undone. At present, there are two Xiahou generals guarding Chang'an. After training, do you want to go south immediately?"

Xiahou Dun was in high spirits, talking and laughing with Xiahouyuan.Xia Houyuan, on the other hand, was frowning, and kept his head down as he rode on the horse, not listening to a word Xia Houyuan said.After defeating Ma Teng, nothing happened in Chang'an. According to the established plan, the two led their troops to go to Wuguan and go straight to the back of Wancheng. They wanted to attack Long Fei with Cao Cao on both sides.After leaving the gate of Chang'an, Xia Houyuan's mood became a little strange.

"Second brother, why are you still so frowning after winning the battle?" Xia Houdun asked when he saw Xia Houyuan's expression was not good.

Xia Houyuan sighed: "I should be happy about the victory in Chang'an, but I always feel that something is wrong? Don't you find it strange that Ma Teng and his son were killed suddenly?"

"What's so strange about this?" Xiahou Dun said, "Ma Teng and his son invaded Chang'an, so killing him is a matter of course. Since someone else will do it for us, we won't have to do it!"

Xia Houyuan shook his head: "Things are not that simple. Although the people are angry, they will not cause trouble in the street. I have been tracking Zhang for many days but there is no news. I always feel that something is wrong. Although Ma Teng and his son are our enemies, I killed him. But it won't do any good, if those people in Xiliang are offended, Chang'an may never have peace!"

"What are you afraid of?" Xiahou Dun said, "Ma Teng is dead, what else can the rest of Xiliang do?"

Xia Houyuan nodded: "I hope so!"

"Report...!" The scout came on horseback, came up to the two of them, saluted and said, "General, Jiashikou is in front of you, and beyond that is the boundary of Wancheng, less than fifty miles away from Jiaxia city!"

"Okay! Order the army to advance at a faster pace, and the soldiers are going to attack the city today!" Xiahou Dun smiled.Long Fei was not in Xiangyang, the entire Jingbei had only Wenpin's [-] troops, even if they were temporarily transferred, it would take a day to come from Xiangyang.And there are less than [-] soldiers and horses left behind.In the battle of Wuguan, Jingzhou soldiers retreated without fighting, and they passed by easily. It seems that Jingzhou is at the end of its rope.

Xia Houyuan hurriedly asked: "Can you find Jingzhou soldiers and horses?"

The scout shook his head: "No, I haven't seen a single soldier from Jingzhou!"

"Hahaha! God help me too!" Xiahoudun laughed loudly: "In this way, that Wenpin certainly wouldn't have thought that we would come here, and didn't send anyone to guard him."

Xia Houyuan shook his head: "This matter is strange! You should be more careful! Check again, and report immediately if there is any change!"

Jiashikou is the exit of Qinling Mountains.After leaving Wuguan, head straight to the southeast and pass through Jiashikou, which is considered to be out of the Qinling Mountains.Jiashikou is a valley, and there is a huge rock at the mouth of the valley, which is divided into two parts by something. The left and right sides are buried in the mountain, leaving only a gap of one foot wide in the middle, so the locals call it Jiashikou.

Xia Houyuan asked the guide carefully about the topography of Jiashikou, and his doubts became heavier.It would be a lie to say that Wenpin did not guess that they were going to pass through Wuguan.Jingzhou soldiers retreated from Wuguan to bring them in, and this Jiashikou is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Jingzhou's army blocks here, even if you have a million soldiers, it will be difficult to pass through.

But now, it was surprisingly quiet here, which made Xia Houyuan feel that something was wrong.He didn't push forward in a hurry, and sent a large number of scouts to search, even if there was a trace of Jingzhou soldiers, it could be said.But after searching and searching, there is no news at all.

Xiahoudun said: "There is nothing to check here. Although this place is dangerous, as long as we can pass quickly and don't leave a chance for the Jingzhou soldiers! Just listen to me once, and move forward immediately. If the Jingzhou soldiers find out, you can think about it." It's really difficult."

"Report..." Another scout came back to report.Xia Houyuan hurriedly called in.The scout said: "General, there is no movement of Jingzhou soldiers within a radius of ten miles, but..."

"Just what? Say it!" Xiahou Dun was furious.

The scout hurriedly said: "It's just that the two huge rocks at Jiashikou collapsed last night, blocking the road and hindering the passage of the army!"
