Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 509
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Chen Gong received a letter from Ma Teng's allied forces for help. They were ambushed, and it was six days ago.

The process was not complicated. Ma Teng and the others went to Xihe County, which is basically where Hu people live.

The goal of Ma Teng and others is Taiyuan County.

Bingzhou has been poor and weak since ancient times, but not all places are poor. Where Taiyuan County is located, developed water systems such as Fenshui and Jinshui all flow through here, and it is located on a rare large plain in Bingzhou. The soil is fertile and the population is also in Bingzhou. The largest county, if they can win here, they will make a lot of money on this trip.

So Ma Teng and the others did not choose to go all the way with Chen Gong, but went to Xihe County by themselves to capture Taiyuan County in one fell swoop.

As for whether to help the imperial court after the capture, it depends on the sincerity of the imperial court or Chu Nan, and if Chen Gong wants to use Bingzhou as a springboard to attack Youzhou, the grain road will be in their hands.

Of course, the premise of all this is to be able to conquer Taiyuan County.

Zhang Heng voted for Yuan Shao secretly, and revealed the marching route to Simpi. From Xiliang to Xihe County, the army had to cross Xiaopingjin, Shouyang Mountain, Gaonu and other places, separated by thousands of miles. Even with the support of the army, it would take at least five years. It was not until the day arrived, and after Xinpi persuaded Zhang Heng to obtain the marching route, he rushed back to Bingzhou without stopping, and made a plan with Gao Gan to build a dam on the upper reaches of the river, and open the gate when the Xiliang coalition forces crossed the river. Turn on the water.

Most of the [-] Xiliang army disappeared overnight. Gao Gan, Guo Yuan, and Huchuquan soldiers and horses took advantage of the situation to attack. The Xiliang army was in chaos. Ma Teng and others fought for a lifetime. The battle was so inexplicably lost. Because Zhang Heng had received a warning from Simpi in advance, he led his troops to go at the end. He was defeated and fled.

Even if there are powerful generals such as Ma Chao, Yan Xing, Ma Teng, and Pound, but without soldiers and horses, they can only break through the siege of thousands of troops, and finally they are driven all the way to Tongtian Mountain by Xin Pi. Get out of trouble, and send people to Chen Gong to find rescue.

"How did the public platform know about that piece of rebellion?" Lu Bu asked the messenger to go to rest, and looked at Chen Gong curiously. Until now, he couldn't figure out why Chen Gong gave up the [-] troops and let them be plotted against.
This is an army of [-]. If it can be handled well, all the military power will be taken down like here, and the troops here alone will be enough to pose a threat to Yuan Shaojun.

"Whether it's Zhang Heng or not is not important. At the beginning, Gong thought that the people sent by Yuan Shao would seek Han Sui's cooperation. After all, Zhang Heng...is still not good enough." Chen Gong laughed.

Compared to Zhang Heng, Han Sui is undoubtedly the one who can control the overall situation of Xiliang, and Han Sui is inherently repetitive. As long as the interests make sense, Han Sui will never hesitate to backstab Ma Teng.

But now Zhang Heng is chosen. Although he is also one of the warlords lingering in Xiliang, compared to Han Sui, Zhang Heng is not enough to control Xiliang regardless of his ability or prestige.

"It seems that apart from repelling our army, Yuan Shao's advisers also want to get their hands on Xiliang and even Guanzhong!"

The reason is very simple, Zhang Heng obviously does not have enough ability to control Xiliang, let alone Guanzhong, but the opponent chose Zhang Heng as a partner, firstly, it will make Xiliang unable to send troops in a short time, and secondly, if this If the Yuan family wins the battle, the major forces in Guanzhong will basically be wiped out. At that time, they will be able to take Xiliang and even the entire Guanzhong into their pockets.

Zhang Heng, who lacks prestige, can't stop the Yuan family who is coming with great victories.

In fact, Chen Gong also had this idea. After winning this battle, Chu Nan will not only gain Qingyou and the four prefectures of Hebei, but Sanfu and Xiliang will also be in Chu Nan's pocket.

Now with the death of Liang Xing and others, the land of Sanfu is actually in Chu Nan's hands.

It's a pity that the other party came too late. If they were smart enough and wanted to turn defeat into victory at this time, they should not choose to severely injure the Xiliang army, but cooperate to persuade Han Sui to turn against him, count Ma Teng, and then lead the Xiliang army to join forces to deal with Chen Gong .

It may also be due to time, there was no time to find Han Sui, so Zhang Heng was chosen, but no matter what, the Xiliang Army suffered heavy losses after this battle.

The population of Xiliang is no longer enough for them to recruit a similar elite team. In this battle about the fate of the world, by this time, Xiliang can actually withdraw, and they will no longer be able to participate in this competition The game of the world.

Whether Chen Gong or Xin Pi, the purpose of coming here this time is actually to clear the field, to clear these small princes and warlords from the chessboard first.

As for who can get the land in the final pass, it depends on their own hands.

"If it's a rescue, wouldn't these soldiers be of use to me?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, and persistently asked a question that hadn't been answered yesterday.

"Marquis Wen, do you remember when the princes begged for Dong?" Chen Gong asked without answering.

"Of course I remember." Lu Bu nodded. When the prison was locked up, the heroes he suppressed alone in the camp did not dare to stand out. Looking at Lu Bu's entire life, that battle was also his highlight moment.

"Wen Hou thinks, what is the combat strength of the coalition forces?"

"Native chicken and tile dog, vulnerable!" Lu Bu raised his head unconsciously.

"Eighteen princes, don't they have one that can enter Marquis Wen's eyes?" Chen Gong continued to ask.

"That's true. The troops led by Sun Jian and Gongsun Zan were all strong troops. If they were head-to-head, the Xiliang army might not be able to win the favor. There are a few other troops that are not bad," Lu Bu recalled.

Now that I think about it, the coalition forces are really not empty.

"Then why there is such a strong army, yet Marquis Wen says they are local chickens and dogs?" Chen Gong laughed.

"The hearts of the people are not in harmony, and those people have schemes against each other." This is what Li Ru said back then. If the coalition forces attacked by dividing, Luoyang would be difficult to defend. Although they gave up Luoyang in the end, it was Dong Zhuo who gave up on his own initiative. , and killed one, almost killing Cao Cao who was chasing him.

Lu Bu suddenly understood, and looked at Chen Gong: "Gongtai is saying that the Xiliang coalition army is also like this?"

Chen Gong nodded, not too stupid, and sighed: "The more people the better, the war is not. It is a pity that the Xiliang coalition army lost, but it is a good thing for our army, otherwise these people will be bright If they obey our army's dispatch, I'm afraid it's a positive obedience and a negative one. They will attack if there is a benefit, but if they encounter a tough battle, they will never lose their strength. Moreover, after our army captures Bingzhou, it will march towards Youzhou. At that time, the Xiliang army will be very difficult. Instead, it will threaten the rear of our army."

"Wen Hou needs to know that they can fight for our army because of the benefits I promised, and they can also attack our army for the benefits Yuan Shao promised, helping our army attract the main force of the enemy army, so that we can successfully defeat the four generals of Liang Xing. Complete annexation, their usefulness has been exhausted." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and smiled.

"Otherwise, the food and grass of the [-] army alone will make our army unable to plot Youzhou! Not to mention that after I annex Liang Xing and others, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others will definitely be vigilant, let alone defend our army. In combat, once the supply of food and grass is insufficient, they may even directly attack our army. This is the best ending. I will give them a hand at this time, and they will even be grateful to me and take everything for me in the future Let’s make some preparations.”

Lu Bu now fully understood that the Xiliang army was only an ally after all, and they were the kind that could turn against each other at any time. With this kind of soldiers and horses in battle, they would not only face Yuan Shao, but also guard against the turnaround of their allies at any time.

In this way, the defeat of the Xiliang coalition forces was actually due to Chen Gong's contribution.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong strangely, almost wiped out his entire army, and finally made people feel grateful?
As if he understood Lu Bu's meaning, Chen Gong said calmly: "The ones who ambushed the Xiliang army were under Yuan Shao's command, and those who plotted among them were all Yuan Shao's people. In addition to promoting the alliance of the Xiliang army and inviting them to fight against the country's thieves, He didn't do anything more, this time Xiliang was defeated, he can't blame me, Marquis Wen don't need to look at me like this."

Huh~
The corner of Lu Bu's mouth twitched, he was speechless, Chen Gong did not do anything to plot against the Xiliang Army, but it gave Lu Bu the feeling that the whole thing was within Chen Gong's plot.

Thinking carefully about the whole incident in his mind, after a while, Lu Bu suddenly realized, looked at Chen Gong and blurted out: "The Zhen family's caravan was sent by you!"

These words were a bit off-putting, but Chen Gong understood what Lu Bu meant.

Back then, Chen Gong borrowed the help of Zhen's family to send grain and grass from Jizhou to Xiliang, and then used coins to ask Xiliang's heavy army to buy grain from Zhen Yao. It is impossible for Yuan Shao to be unaware of such a big movement.

Afterwards, it was logical that the strategy was used to instigate the Xiliang army, but Chen Gong took the lead. When the Zhenjialiang team arrived, the Xiliang army was already preparing to send troops. The people sent by Yuan Shao had no time to do more deployments, so they could only try Get rid of this Xiliang army.

It's not that he lacks resourcefulness and can't see the reason, but that Chen Gong didn't give people enough time at all, so he could only bury this Xiliang army.

But Chen Gong did not expect this Xiliang army to be used by him at the beginning when he recruited the Xiliang army. To put it bluntly, the purpose was to stabilize Guanzhong and weaken the Xiliang army.

But judging from the current results, Chen Gong's plan was obviously successful.

Naturally, Lu Bu couldn't think of such a complicated thing, but he was keenly aware that the Zhen family might be the key to Chen Gong's entire plan for Xiliang, and all of this might be related to Chen Gong's original deal with the Zhen family.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu with some surprise, you say he is smart, many things can't be turned around, but if he is not smart, the most critical point in his plan can be seen through by Lu Bu at a glance, even if others know Chen Gong The layout may not be able to sort out the context and find the most critical point in such a short period of time.

"No matter what, this plan has come to fruition. Since Ma Teng's envoy for help has arrived, it's time for us to send troops." Chen Gong said with a smile.

"Rescue?" Lu Bu nodded.

"No, it's fine for Zilong to go. We'll lead our troops to ambush, and if we just annihilate the main force of the enemy army, we can take Bingzhou easily!" Chen Gong shook his head, rescue is secondary.

Lu Bu: "..."
