Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 865 Return of the Dead Army 1
On the grassland more than 500 miles west of Hetao, more than 20 cavalry from the Northern Xinjiang Army and 20 cavalry from the Xiliang Army have been facing each other for a long time. When patrolling outside the camp, he could always meet scouts from the Northern Xinjiang Army. After several fights, Zhang Fei almost led his troops to come to him to fight for the general.

During the period of the stalemate, the two armies each dealt with their own troubles. Although Zhao Yun was the commander-in-chief of the northern army, he himself had received a secret order from Gongsun Xu. The Xiliang Army is divided into several factions, and Ma Chao, the most powerful, has no plans to fight the Northern Xinjiang Army for the time being.

Zhao Yun is waiting. He is waiting for news from Xiliang and Yanzhou. As long as the time is right, he will immediately implement Gongsun Xu's plan. The Liang army has also become impatient now, even thinking of making an offer to fight the Northern Xinjiang army.

"Marshal, the Xiliang army has sent a letter of engagement." Zhang Fei walked into the big tent and handed Zhao Yun a letter of engagement. We will fight."

"Fighter, hehe, this boy Meng Qi was forced to do nothing." Zhao Yun opened the contract and said, "Everyone knows that our Northern Border Army is best at defensive counterattacks, so when they see After my 20 troops set up camp and prepared for war, they did not dare to act rashly. The Xianbei, Huns, Wuhuan, Qiang, etc. have used blood and tears time and time again to prove the strength of our northern camps and city walls. Therefore, Meng Qi never planned to take the initiative to attack our army camp from the beginning.

Han Sui is not a mediocre person, so he naturally understands this. Now our army is not much different from the enemy's strength, and our army's food and grass transportation is more convenient than the enemy's. Generally speaking, the enemy is at a disadvantage. According to Yue, the [-]th army in Xiliang will be defeated without a fight, but we don't have that much time.

He wants to fight generals, hehe, let him wait, we can't be in a hurry, at least not more than them, if not, Han Sui will definitely find out the flaws in our army, now we are going to do the ninety-level lord's order , as long as Yan Liang can solve the matter of the Youxiongnu, our army can counterattack. "

"Looking at the 20 troops in Xiliang, there are only a few people who dare to fight bravely." Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "These days, I can see that apart from Ma Chao, Pang De, and Ma Dai, Xiliang No one in the army can stop twenty rounds. Han Sui's number one general, Yan Xing, is now serving in Liaodong, who else can he send to fight.

Marshal, what's so scary about the Xiliang Army? The last general invited Ma Chao to fight in Yuezhan. This guy is also very angry now. He thought that he would be a big deal after going to the Western Regions for a few years. Now it's time to suppress his temper. "

"Yide, you are still so aggressive." Zhao Yun shook his head and replied: "Wait first, we don't need to fight for generals. If we win the fight, we won't attack for the time being. If we lose the fight, our army's morale will suffer instead. Under such circumstances, do you think it is necessary for us to take action? Wait, the lord is now ordering the garrisons in various places to send more troops to defeat the Right Huns. We must wait for the order from the lord. In the situation of multi-line combat, if we do not deal with it carefully, we are very likely to suffer great losses."

"Isn't there still 10,000+ troops on the grassland?" Zhang Fei asked: "Yan Liang is also true. My lord said that he had sent more troops to the north. Why did he only bring tens of thousands of people? What are you afraid of now that Xu Rong is in Hetao? It’s enough to solve the problem of the soldiers and horses of the Right Huns.”

"These 10,000+ troops are used to guard against the southern princes." Zhao Yun scolded: "In Jizhou, Yunchang only has 5 soldiers and horses. How can 1 people be enough for such a long defense line? What is the intention of the army to stay in Jizhou? Also, Zhang Jai has only [-] troops under his command, but he has to guard the large area in Hedong, and at the same time, he has to beware of Yanzhou, Chang'an, Sili and other places. If Cao Cao was not suspicious, these I am afraid that wars have already broken out everywhere, you,,,,,,"

"Report,,,,,," Xia Houlan opened the curtain and walked in and said, "Marshal, urgent report."

After finishing speaking, Xia Houlan took out two wax pills from her bosom. There was still blood on the wax pills, which should be the superstition just taken out of the body of the messenger.

"Ghost image?" Zhao Yun said to himself after taking wax pills: "It must be the ghost image that has news, it must be..."

After reading the news in the two wax pills, Zhao Yun squinted his eyes and said: "Cao Cao, you used a good method, but this time, you made a mistake. Send me an order to prepare for the general..."

"Ah, so fast." Zhang Fei asked curiously, "Why do you have to fight again now?"

"Ghost Shadow Guard has rescued Ma Teng and his two sons." Zhao Yun said with a smile, "Zhang Jai also sent people to support them and retreat to the east of the river. Now, Ma Teng and the others are rushing towards us under the protection of three thousand cavalry. , It will arrive in two days at most, and it is not impossible to recruit Ma Chao by then. Now, hehe, it is just about to attack the Xiliang Army. You have to win for me, otherwise, the military law is ruthless."

"promise,,,,,,"

The ghost guards in Yanzhou successfully rescued Ma Teng, but the ghost guards in Xiliang were not so lucky. According to the original plan, they had actually rescued Ma Chao's family, but who knew that Han Sui had also arranged a trick. .After getting rid of Cao Jun's pursuit at this moment, the Ghost Shadow Guard fell into the pursuit of Han Sui's subordinates. Fortunately, the Ghost Shadow Guard was smart enough, and the leader of the team, Captain Ghost Shadow, immediately ordered all the troops to retreat westward. It is enough to open the enemy's eyes and ears, even if you flee to the Western Regions to hide for a few years, it will be fine. When the war in northern Xinjiang is over, people will naturally look for them, and the second wax pill Zhao Yun received conveyed this news. It was also the reason why Zhao Yun was eager to find Ma Chao to fight for the general. He had to win Ma Chao over now.

The battle here in Hetao is about to start, and on the southern border of Jizhou, Cao Jun has launched a fierce attack. Guan Yu commanded the army to fight calmly. At this time, Cao Cao has commanded an army of 3 and is about to reach the front line.

After Xu Rong received the news, he had to order the last 10,000+ troops in the grassland to immediately go south to support Jizhou. As for the matter in the grassland in the north, we could only postpone it for the time being. After Gongsun Zan's reinforcements from the east came, maybe the situation would be better.

Xiliang, Zhangye, the only [-] remaining defenders in the dilapidated city are trembling now. At noon yesterday, [-] elite cavalry in the city chased the enemy army, but they never returned. After dawn, a [-] army appeared outside the city , and the enemy's reinforcements are still marching here, the defenders in the city are not thinking about resistance, but how to surrender to avoid being killed.
