The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 714 713 Farce
Seeing that Zhang Fei was angry, Huang Quan hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, we have endured so much until now, and we are only a little short of success. Don't give up all your previous efforts. If you can't bear it, you will mess up big plans. Besides, this time Originally, I wanted to kill Xu Huang and Pang Tong for Ma Chao, only in this way can Ma Chao solve his worries and truly cooperate with the lord to deal with Zhang Yan."

Hearing Huang Quan's words, Zhang Fei felt that Huang Quan's words were reasonable. He had finally endured it until now, so he must not mess up his position because of some trivial matters.What's more, Jiamengguan is full of his subordinates, even if Ma Chao brings Xu Huang and Pang Tong in, there is no need to be afraid at all. If there is any abnormal behavior, as long as he gives an order, Ma Chao and others will be disrupted. Arrow shot to death.

It's just that Zhang Fei felt that the other party's request was a little too much. At first, he only said that Jiameng Pass should be disguised, and he didn't mention the matter of entering the city. anger.

Under Huang Quan's persuasion, Zhang Fei finally agreed to let Ma Chao take Xu Huang and Pang Tong into the city, but the accompanying people should not exceed a hundred people.

Huang Quan hurried out of the city to discuss with Ma Chao. Ma Chao was obviously not satisfied with Zhang Fei's arrangement, there were no more than a hundred people, so if he entered the city, if Zhang Fei suddenly made trouble, wouldn't he be dead without a place to die? Yet.

Ma Chao was unwilling, saying that he would bring at least 1000 people into the customs.

Huang Quan looked a little embarrassed, and said to Ma Chao: "1000 people, isn't it too many?"

"I don't think 1000 people are too few. I must ensure my safety. If Zhang Fei really makes a sudden attack and he closes the city gate, I won't be able to escape even if I want to. I will definitely die. Except for 1000 people who come into the city with me. In addition, the closed gate must be wide open, and my subordinates will be responsible for guarding the city gate, lest I have no way out." Ma Chao said.

Huang Quan frowned, and said to Ma Chao: "Then I can only try it. As for agreeing or not, I can't decide!"

Ma Chao nodded.

Huang Quan returned to Jiameng Pass again and reported Ma Chao's request to Zhang Fei. After Zhang Fei heard this, he told Huang Quan firmly: "Go back and tell Ma Chao that I will not perform this play. He can do whatever he likes." How about it!"

"My lord, do you want to think about it again?"

"What are you thinking about? Jiameng Pass is not big in the first place, and the pass can only accommodate thousands of people. He wants to enter 1000 people and occupy the city gate. This is undoubtedly equivalent to opening the main road leading to Jiameng Pass. In case of Ma Chao's sudden attack, Jiameng Pass will be completely over. If he controls the city gate, his subordinates can continuously pour into the city, and then Jiameng Pass will lose its defensive meaning. Go and tell him , or he will come in with 100 people, or he will not come in!" Zhang Fei said angrily.

Huang Quan said: "But my lord, if this happens, won't the cooperation with Ma Chao be ruined?"

"If it's a mess, it's a mess. I'd rather be a mess than take a risk. You can tell him that I can guarantee his safety. If he doesn't even have the minimum trust, then don't talk about any cooperation. At that time, maybe it will still happen." They will turn against each other."

Huang Quan sighed heavily. He wanted to say something else, but found that Zhang Fei was impatient. In desperation, he had no choice but to go out again on his horse to tell Ma Chao about Zhang Fei's tough attitude.

After Ma Chao listened to Huang Quan's words, he snorted coldly and said to Huang Quan: "I thought you were quite sure, but I didn't expect that your plan was just a farce, which wasted so much of my time, otherwise , My reinforcements have already arrived, why do you still need to grind your mouth here? Huang Canjun, since you don't really want to submit to Zhang Fei, why don't you come to me directly, don't go back, and serve the court, the court will naturally not will treat you badly."

Huang Quan shook his head and said: "General Ma's kindness is appreciated, but my family and clan are all in Yizhou. If I openly defect, Zhang Fei will definitely not let my family and clan go. Big. This time it was my fault. I was not fully sure, so that this embarrassing situation appeared, and I did not expect Zhang Fei to be so cautious. But please rest assured, General Ma, I will not work for Zhang Fei, and After I go back this time, I will unite more Yizhou people to rebel against Zhang Fei and ignite the flames of rebellion from within. In this way, I will be inside, General Ma will be outside, and we will attack from inside and outside. flying rebellion."

"In this case, let's join the army with Huang, and let's stop this farce. The reinforcements are already on the way, not far from here, and they will arrive in the afternoon. If there are no accidents, tomorrow I will When launching a general attack on Jiameng Pass, I hope that Huang Canjun will not be in the city by then, otherwise, the sword has no eyes, and I am afraid that Huang Canjun will be hurt, then it will be bad."

"I appreciate General Ma's kindness. I will find a reason to go back to Chengdu when I get back soon!"

The two hand over each other, each turned to leave, and Ma Chao led his men to retreat.

On the city wall of Jiameng Pass, Zhang Fei frowned when he saw Ma Chao leading the crowd away suddenly. When Huang Quan came back, he went up to inquire, and only then did he know that Ma Chao was quitting.

Zhang Fei became furious, and immediately ordered someone to tear down the Han army's flag and take off the Han army's uniform, thinking that this was a complete farce, and there was a trace of anger in Huang Quan's eyes.

Embarrassment also appeared on Huang Quan's face. He wanted Ma Chao to kill Zhang Fei, but he didn't know it would turn out like this. It can only be said that he didn't know Zhang Fei well enough, and Zhang Fei didn't trust him too much.

Therefore, Huang Quan felt that his face was dull and he had failed Zhang Fei's trust, so he found an excuse to leave Jiameng Pass and go back to Chengdu.

Zhang Fei didn't stop him, he directly agreed to Huang Quan's request and let Huang Quan leave.

After Huang Quan left, Zhang Fei looked at the Han army flags and uniforms all over the place, and suddenly had an idea and came up with a plan.So, he immediately had someone call Peng Tuo and Liu Xian over, and gave them some instructions.

After hearing this, Liu Xian looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously, and said, "Isn't this strategy too risky? What if it doesn't work?"

Zhang Fei said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch tiger cubs. This is the only way to repel Ma Chao's army. Having said that, although Huang Quan made a farce this time, he got it by accident. You can’t be considered incompetent if you don’t have these things. You just go down and prepare, and start to act after dark.”

……

In Ma Chao's camp, Ma Chao was drinking sullenly. At first, Huang Quan's arrival gave him a glimmer of hope, but who knew that although Huang Quan's strategy was good, it was difficult to implement, so that today's This farce.

However, Ma Chao wasn't idle either. He had already sent someone to call for reinforcements. At this moment, the troops of Xu Huang and Pang Tong should have arrived soon.As soon as they arrive, he can use the siege weapons they brought to launch a strong attack on Jiameng Pass.

He didn't believe that an army of 10,000+ would not be able to take down a small Jiameng Pass.

Later in the evening, Pang Tong and Xu Huang led two hundred fine riders to Ma Chao's residence. Ma Chao went out to meet him in person, exchanged pleasantries with Pang Tong and Xu Huang, and then entered the tent.

Pang Tong asked about Ma Chao's situation in the past few days, and Ma Chao told the situation here in detail. When Pang Tong heard that Ma Chao had given Huang Quan five hundred sets of Han army uniforms and a dozen large flags, Immediately became tense.

"General Ma, you are so confused!" Pang Tong sighed heavily, "How can you give such important things to the enemy? In case the enemy borrows these things to pretend to be our army and sneak attack in the middle of the night, you can tell that it is the enemy." Or our own army?"

Pang Tong's words made Ma Chao come to his senses, and asked hastily, "What should we do?"

Pang Tong thought for a while, and said to Ma Chao: "It's a good thing that General Xu and I came first, otherwise, you will regret it tonight. Now the remedy is urgent..."

……

After nightfall, a gap was secretly opened in the closed door of Jiameng Pass, and groups of black shadows filed out of the city, everyone covered their mouths with a piece of cloth, and the four hooves of the war horses were also wrapped in cloth, so as not to make too much noise. When the news came, it was a cavalry team of 500 people who came out of the city.

Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, this team moved forward cautiously. As soon as they left the city gate, the city gate was closed.

A group of people came to a forest not far from Ma Chaoda's military camp. After Zhang Fei's order, everyone took off their military uniforms and put on the Han army uniforms they just got today.

Then, Zhang Fei waited in place, looking at the enemy camp from a distance in the forest.

This time, what Zhang Fei brought with him were all carefully selected elite soldiers. Those who are used to fighting are one in a million.

This night attack was a whim of Zhang Fei. He happened to use the uniform of the Han army to attack Ma Chao's camp at Zishi, making the other party mistakenly think that there was a rebellion in the army, and then took advantage of the situation to set fire to the camp and let Ma Chao. The army is hard to defend against.Then Zhang Fei led the cavalry to kill Ma Chao in chaos.

Time passed bit by bit, Zhang Fei and his subordinates were quietly in the forest. They noticed that even at night, the defense of the Han army camp had not weakened. It looks very heavily defended.

Seeing that the time is approaching, but there is no slack in the enemy camp, this makes Zhang Fei a little annoyed, and he begins to worry in his heart. His subordinates are all nervous, everyone is gearing up, but everyone He couldn't hide the worried look on his face.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he persuaded: "Don't worry, it will be a success tonight!"

At midnight, Ma Chao's camp suddenly changed defenses, but there were fewer patrols, and only sporadic people were standing guard.

When Zhang Fei saw this scene, he didn't think much about it. Instead, he thought it was a god-given opportunity, so he got on his horse and said to his subordinates, "Get on the horse and prepare to fight!"
