Han Shimou

() At this time, Ma Chao still doesn't know that the current situation is so bad.Let's say that Cheriji escaped unharmed and fled to Nan'an together with Yueji and Yadan.Now that Ma Chao has finished reorganizing his troops, he is about to take advantage of the emptiness in Longxi to attack.Suddenly someone came to report, and several Qiang people came to ask for an interview, saying that they had something important to report.Hearing this, Ma Chao frowned, thinking that his Ma clan had always had a deep friendship with the Qiang people, and these Qiang people must have come to consort.When Ma Chao was in need of someone, he called him in.Cheriji brought Yueji, Yadan, Wen and Wu into the palace to pay a visit. Ma Chao saw that although the three of them were disheveled and embarrassed, they each had their own demeanor.Seeing the three of them, Ma Chao felt a little joy in his heart, and asked in a deep voice. ..

"Three heroes, I don't know what to do here!?"

Cherage's expression changed, and he suddenly knelt down and prayed.

"General, please avenge my brothers who died in vain!!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his expression was shocked, and he cast his eyes on Kuai Liang.Kuai Liang understood, so he asked Cherigi what he said.Cheriji then told the past one by one.Hearing this, Ma Chao's face changed drastically, and his whole body felt shuddering, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.Wen Han predicts things like a god, as if he has predicted his every move in advance.At present, Wen Han stabilized the chaotic situation in Longxi with lightning speed, so it would be difficult for Ma Chao's original plan to come true.Surprised and angry, Ma Chao hurriedly asked Kuai Liang.

"Wen Bufan has already arrived in Longxi. If our army wants to attack again, it will undoubtedly be difficult. What should we do now!?"

Kuai Liang's face was calm, his eyes were shining brightly, he thought for a while, then he cupped his hands and said. ..

"General Ma, don't be impatient. The situation is critical now. If we mess up our own positions, we will be in danger. Since Longxi is difficult to obtain, in my opinion, we should withdraw the army quickly and rush back to Tianshui, and then attack the rear with surprise troops. The [-] soldiers and horses of my wife echoed each other. Tianshui can be broken. At that time, we stationed troops in Tianshui and gradually entangled with the Tang thieves. When the military division quelled Xichuan, we must send troops quickly to attack Dongchuan, so that the Tang thieves could not look after each other. So As soon as it comes, our army will have an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Kuai Liang remained calm in the face of danger, and made another plan.Ma Chao was elated and laughed out loud.Cheriji, who was in His Highness's presence, was also thrilled to hear it, and was very impressed by Kuai Liang's wisdom.Only Yadan had a calm expression, as if he was thinking of himself.

Ma Chao then ordered the generals to go to Tianshui to kill them early the next morning.At the same time, he also sent Cheriji as the captain, Yueji as the Yamen general, and Yadan as the horse archer.

At night, Cheriji, Yueji, Yadan and others went back to the station to rest together.Suddenly, Yadan whispered to Cheriji and Yueji with a calm face.

"My lord, you can't stay here. Otherwise, you will be killed!"

When Cherridge heard this, his complexion suddenly changed.Yadan has never lied and acted cautiously, if he hadn't been sure, he would not have said such words.Yueji was also terrified, and seemed unable to react for a while.Today, I clearly heard the Han man named Kuai Liang come up with a clever plan. If it is as he said, will there be a disaster of killing him?At this moment, Cherage stared at him and asked hastily.

"Yadan, how do you say that!?"

Yadan squinted his eyes, leaned over and whispered in their ears.

"It seems to me that Ma Mengqi has no plans for stubbornness, and obeys Kuai Liang's words. But that Han man named Kuai Liang is just a vain man! If you go to Longxi, he will attack sooner or later. If we wait Abandoning Nan'an, Wen Bufan would have expected our army to attack Nan'an, and would naturally cover up the attack. If our army could break through Tianshui City quickly with Tianshui's troops and defend the city, it might be able to resist Wen Bufan's [-] troops But if our army falls into a stalemate and Wen Bufan attacks from behind, our army will be destroyed! What's more, I heard that Zhao Zilong, the dragon general of the Tang army, has rushed to Tianshui, and Tianshui is even guarded by Li You. I'm afraid that before this In the meantime, the Tianshui Tang army has noticed the clues and broke through the soldiers and horses left by Ma Mengqi in Tianshui! If this is the case, our army will become a turtle in a urn! In my opinion, there are many dangers here, and it is unwise for us to invest in it lift!"

Cherridge's face changed suddenly when he heard it, and he immediately murmured with a gloomy expression.Cheriji is not an ignorant person, Yadan's analysis shows that he has seen through the hidden crisis at present.Yue Ji, who was at the side, suddenly broke out when he heard the words, and shouted angrily.

"It's so, I'll tell General Ma immediately!"

When Yadan heard this, he quickly made a silent gesture and shouted in panic.

"You bastard, why are you so reckless! Ma Mengqi has always had his eyes high above his head, and he is arrogant and stubborn. How can he listen to our words when we speak lightly? What if we are punished for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army? Is good!?"

When Yueji heard the words, he opened his giant eyes wide, just as he was about to speak to refute.Cherage waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"What Yadan said is very true. I don't think this Ma Mengqi is a Mingjun. Why should I wait for him to die? When we march tomorrow, I will wait and see the situation and just run away."

When Cherrigi spoke like this, Yueji immediately stopped talking.So after the three of them discussed and decided, they each went to rest and fled tomorrow.

In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose.Ma Chao gave an order to lead his troops out of the city, and Wang Tianshui quickly killed them.Not long after Ma Chao left, Wen Han happened to lead his troops to Nan'an City just before noon.Wen Han saw that there was no barbarian army in the city. He expected that Ma Chao had already jumped away.

But he said that the horse had crossed the border of Nan'an and was about to go to Tianshui County, where it was surrounded by mountains and rivers to rest its troops.Ma Chao was resting in his tent, when suddenly a soldier rushed to report that Mrs. Zhurong was not far away, and she was rushing to the camp together with the army scouts.When Ma Chao heard this, his expression changed immediately. He didn't care to think about why his wife came here, so he rushed out of the tent to look.At this time, Mrs. Zhu Rong also happened to see Ma Chao, and she cried to tell the story.Ma Chao heard that Li You and Zhao Yun had destroyed [-] soldiers from their own army, and the [-] soldiers and horses were all destroyed, only his wife escaped, Li You let her go on purpose and asked her to report the news.Ma Chao was so angry that he let out a hysterical growl, and then fainted in anger.All of a sudden, exclamations and urgent yells erupted one after another, and the barbarian generals from all over came to visit, causing chaos in the village.

Mrs. Zhu Rong was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she quickly asked the soldiers to help her into the bed in the tent.After a while, Ma Chao woke up leisurely.But it was also heard that Cherrigi and the others fled away in a panic just now.When Kuai Liang heard this, his complexion changed drastically. He thought Cheriji was a spy of the Tang Army, so he said hastily.

"Not good! Those three Qiang people must be meticulous workers. If they are allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles!! The general can quickly send people to pursue them, and they must be captured!!"

As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, there were bursts of earth-shattering shouts of killing outside the village.I saw that behind the barbarian army stronghold, a group of Tang soldiers came all over the mountains and plains to slaughter them.The sound of beating drums made the earth tremble, Tang soldiers' murderous aura was raging, like tigers descending from the mountain, an unknown number of people rushed towards the camp of the barbarians.Manzhai was established as a grassroots village with sheds and antlers.Tang soldiers came to fight bravely, the barbarians were flustered because Ma Chao fainted earlier, and now seeing so many Tang soldiers coming, they were frightened and panicked, and ran away with their heads in their hands.Ma Chao ran out of the camp in a hurry, and saw that countless Tang soldiers had rushed into the camp, killing all around, and the soldiers and horses were in disorder, like a landslide.With a loud shout, Ma Chao mounted his horse with his gun sharpened, and charged forward to defend against foreign enemies.Tang Bing fought bravely, seeing the barbarians retreating steadily, suddenly a general rushed out from the crowd, a man with silver armor and spear, handsome and majestic, like a wild lion, it was Ma Chao.Ma Chao slammed his spear fiercely, and there was a sudden conflict. Tang Bing was killed for a while and was caught off guard.At this time, outside the stronghold, a group of men and horses came, and the general who led the army was Wen Han.It turned out that Pang Tong had remonstrated earlier, saying that Ma Chao would not be far away, and his troops were precious, so he immediately pursued them.So Wen Han urged the three armies to advance quickly, and drove in the starry night until several miles away from the barbarian Dazhai. Later, he heard that the scouts came to report that the barbarian Dazhai was lax in defense.Wen Han made a prompt decision, so he taught the three armies to charge and attack the Manzhai.

Now Wen Han saw that Ma Chao was fighting bravely. Although he had one man and one rider, he had the power of thousands of troops and horses, and he was invincible.Wen Han's face turned cold, and his sword eyes flickered.Pang Tong beside him had a slight smile on his extremely ugly face, but his bright eyes made his ugly face even more colorful.Just listen to Pang Tong talking to Wen Han calmly.

"The horse thief is brave, and there is no general in our army to stop him right now. My lord is so good."

When Wen Han heard this, his saber eyes narrowed, and he nodded slightly.All of a sudden, Wen Han galloped his horse, and Tayunwuzhao rushed out like a hurricane, rushing to the gate of the village more than ten feet away.

"Ma Mengqi!! But I still know Gu Ye!!"

Wen Han shouted loudly like a thunderbolt.Ma Chao, who was rushing to kill, suddenly heard this shout, his expression changed abruptly, his face was full of sinister and ferocious, a pair of lion eyes bursting with anger and hatred, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Wen Han.Why didn't Ma Chao recognize this person? It was he who led the army to invade Xiliang, causing the Ma family to be ruined, their power collapsed, and they became bereaved dogs.The person Ma Chao hated the most in his life was this person! !

"Aooooooooow!!! Wen! No!! Fan!!! Take my life!!!"

For a moment, Ma Chao seemed to have lost his mind, and charged straight at Wen Han with his horse and gun raised.Ma Chao was furious and fierce, like a rampaging lion, killing all the people on their backs, no one could stop him.Wen Han was fearless, seeing Ma Chao rushing towards him, he reined in his horse and left.Ma Chao rushed forward suddenly, and there was no future, he would not kill Wen Han, but kill the enemy with his hands, and he would never give up!

Fortunately, Wen Han was fast and rushed back into the formation.Ma Chao followed closely.At this moment, Pang Tongtong issued an order, and the crossbowmen on both wings shot arrows suddenly. Ma Chao's heart was all on Wen Han. Unexpectedly, arrows rained wildly.Ma Chao hurriedly dialed the brocade silver lion tooth gun to resist the random arrows.When a round of arrows shot down, Pang Tong smiled even more, and issued another military order. The swordsmen and spearmen in the center of the front shouted in unison and rushed towards him.Ma Chao was caught off guard and tried his best to fight, but he couldn't break through, and was killed so that he retreated steadily.Wen Han returned to the formation and looked at Pang Tong.Wen Han understood and shouted loudly.

"Ma Mengqi, you have overestimated your own strength and repeatedly assumed your dignity. Now that you have become a tiger in a trap, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly, for the sake of Ma Gong, you can survive in this world!!"

Ma Chao respected Ma Teng the most in his life, and when he heard it, his murderous aura immediately surged, and his handsome face was as ferocious as a ghost.
