Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 543 Han Sui's Mind

Ma Chao's allied forces attacked all the way to the east, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Except for Chang'an, in just half a month, Ma Chao's allied forces swept through Guanzhong and forced Xia Houyuan's army to retreat to Hedong.

In mid-July, Ma Chao's army arrived at Tongguan. At the same time, Cao Ren also led [-] troops to build a camp outside Tongguan to defend the Ma Chao coalition forces from continuing to advance eastward, while Xia Houyuan's army built a city at Puban, forming a corner with Cao Ren's army.

Time gradually passed for nearly a month. At the beginning of August, Cao Cao led an army of [-] to Tongguan, facing Ma Chao's army across Tongguan. However, they secretly sent Xu Huang and Yu Jin to lead [-] troops across the river from Puban in Hedong County in the north, and seized Pujin Pass on the other side of the Yellow River.

One early morning in mid-August, Ma Chao accidentally got the news that Cao Cao's army outside Tongguan was crossing the north. This news surprised Ma Chao, and hurriedly found Han Sui, who was also in Tongguan. At this time, Han Sui was having breakfast in the tent when he was startled by a commotion.

"What's the matter?" Han Sui put down his chopsticks and asked in displeasure.

"Reporting to the governor, it is General Ma who has come and said there is something urgent!"

As soon as the soldiers finished speaking, Ma Chao rushed in with a sword, "Han Gong and I are like father and son, so you don't need to report!"

Han Sui felt a little displeased. Although Ma Chao kept saying that he was his father, he didn't respect him. He didn't discuss many things with him, especially when making decisions about Chang'an. Consolidate the occupation of Guanzhong, but Ma Chao was unwilling to attack the city, and focused on annihilating the main force of Cao's army. In the end, Han Sui had to follow his advice and gave up attacking Chang'an.

When he arrived at Tongguan, Han Sui proposed that he lead his headquarters to be stationed in Shangjun, while Ma Chao led the other eight coalition forces to station in Guanzhong, meaning that he wanted to divide the spoils. [

Ma Chao, on the grounds that the overall situation was uncertain, forbade him to lead his army northward, but let Yang Qiu, who was close to him, lead his army to station in Shangjun. This made Han Sui a little annoyed.

At this time, Ma Chao politely broke into his big tent, which made Han Sui very unhappy, but Han Sui didn't show it on his face, he got up and walked to the tent with a smile, "Meng got up early! Get up and have breakfast!"

Ma Chao clasped his fists in salute and said, "Report to Shishu, Ma Chao has something urgent to discuss."

"Then please tell me!"

Han Sui invited Ma Chao into the big tent and ordered people to remove the breakfast. Then he asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

"Uncle Shi, I just got the news that Cao Jun has started to cross the Yellow River and go north."

Han Sui was also taken aback. He quickly took out the map and spread it out. He looked at the map carefully and said to Ma Chao, "Cao Jun's intention is obvious. He must go to Puban to cross the river and enter the pass."

"Damn Cao thief!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and cursed: "How dare you fake a siege engine to deceive me, you must chop him into pieces!"

Han Sui said worriedly: "Cao Cao's crossing to the north must have captured Pujin Pass, and he will move his army when he is sure. I am worried that Liang Xing will lose. I want to lead the headquarters to the north to support. What does Meng Qi think?"

This time Ma Chao didn't object, nodded and said, "Uncle, please go ahead and join Uncle immediately after I defeat Cao Jun in Tongguan!"

At present, Ma Chao's allied forces divided into two groups. Han Sui led his [-] troops north to Fengyi County to support Pujin Pass, while Ma Chao led [-] cavalry out of Tongguan to attack Cao Jun's camp, accurately annihilating Cao Jun's tail army that had not yet crossed the river.

Tongguan is located on the south bank of the bend of the Yellow River, surrounded by steep mountains. There is only one road to Tongguan in the middle of the pass. Enter another entrance in Guanzhong.

At this time, Xu Huang and Yu Jin had occupied Pujin Pass, and Cao Cao immediately ordered the army to cross the river. One hundred thousand troops had crossed the river for two days and two nights, and only a few thousand logistics troops remained on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Cao Cao had not yet crossed the river. At this moment, a soldier in the distance shouted: "Ma Chaojun is here!"

Cao Cao was startled, and turned his head to look west, only to see the dust flying in the west, the banner waving, and a cavalry rushing towards the pier, the leader general was faintly visible, wearing a golden crown on his head and silver armor on his body , holding a spear in his hand, the horse is like a dragon, rushing like flying clouds and fog, it is the general Ma Chao. [

Cao Cao laughed, and said to the guards on the left and right: "People praise Ma Chao as beautiful, that's really true, he deserves to be the reincarnation of Lu Bu, in terms of martial arts, only Zhao Yun can match him in the world, even Liu Jingzhou is inferior. "

Everyone was in a panic, they didn't listen to Cao Cao's comments, and shouted together: "Prime Minister, get on the boat!"

Cao Cao stood up and smiled, "Don't panic, he can't kill the truth."

Captain Huben Xu Chu was even more anxious. He ordered Cao Cao's war horse to be sent across the river first, and he himself escorted Cao Cao into another boat. Seeing that the lord had boarded the boat, the guards fled eastward one after another. At this time, Ma Chao led hundreds of forwards to the pier. Seeing that Cao Cao's boat had left the shore, he was so angry that he cursed: "Tie Cao, leave the head to me!"

Cao Cao held his fan and laughed, "Can horses swim?"

Ma Chao pointed at the spear, "Fire me an arrow!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen unfurled their bows and shot arrows at the boat like a rainstorm. The boatman was unable to dodge, and was shot in the back of the heart by an arrow, and fell into the river with a scream. The shield shielded Cao Cao from the arrows, and he swung the oar with one hand, but Cao Cao remained calm, chatting and laughing happily, and the boat gradually moved away.

Ma Chao saw that he had missed Cao Cao alive by a hair, and felt extremely remorseful. He turned around and shouted, "I will kill all Cao's soldiers who have not crossed the river!"

But an accident happened. I saw cattle and sheep rushing out of the hillside overwhelmingly, filling the mountain road. His army was in chaos. Seeing that the situation was critical, Ding Fei, the lieutenant of the rear military academy, ordered tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to be released in order to cover the retreat of the logistics soldiers.

Ma Chao's cavalry are mostly Qiang and Hu people, and their military discipline is loose. They regard cattle and sheep as life, and suddenly there are cattle and sheep all over the mountains and plains in front of them. Watching Cao Jun escape

A few days later, Ma Chao received information that Pujin Pass had been captured by Cao Jun. Liang Xing's troops were defeated and retreated southward. Tens of thousands of Cao Jun's forwards had entered Fengyi County. , urgently asked Ma Chao for help, Ma Chao had to abandon Tongguan and lead the army northward.

In Cao Jun's camp, Xu Huang and Yu Jin hurried into Xia Houyuan's big tent. In the big tent, Xia Houyuan was talking with Xun You. , let's discuss it!"

Xu Huang and Yu Jin sat down, Xia Houyuan took out an order and said to them, "I just received an order from the prime minister, ordering us to temporarily station in Weibei, so we don't need to attack Han Sui's army?"

Xu Huang was a little puzzled, and asked, "Han Sui's army has less than [-] troops, and Liang Xing's army has only a few thousand. Why didn't he seize this opportunity?"

Xun You stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is actually my suggestion. Be sure to wipe out all ten Guanlong tribes in Guanzhong, but there is no need for a hard attack. You can use their weaknesses to defeat them one by one."

Yu Jin asked, "I don't know what weakness you found in them?"

Xun You said with a smile: "Their weakness is actually very obvious. At the beginning, they coordinated and sent troops together, but after occupying Guanzhong, there was a problem of how to distribute the benefits. Yang Qiu was Ma Chao's closest subordinate. He went to Shangjun, what do other people think? Especially Han Sui, he came to rescue Liang Xing, he was obviously not sincere, and he refused to send troops so that most of Liang Xing's army was lost. How can Liang Xing not be resentful, then our chance has come. "

Xun You said a few words to the crowd in a low voice, and they clapped their hands together. Xia Houyuan praised: "This plan is enough to make Ma Chao's army kill each other."

Han Sui's army was stationed on the south bank of the Weishui River. Han Sui was really anxious these days. Cao Jun used the strategy of attacking east and west to pretend to attack Tongguan, but succeeded in advancing westward at Pubandu River. , obviously already lost in the strategy.

From the strategic response of the two sides, it can be seen that Ma Chaozhi and Cao Cao's strategy of going north to cross the river is already obvious, but Ma Chao did not lead his army into Fengyi County to meet the battle, but led his army out of Tongguan to fight Cao Cao's tail The army, showing the bravery of ordinary people, delayed the opportunity to fight, so that Cao Jun broke into Guanzhong.

Han Sui sighed a long time, Cao Jun's rules are well-organized, but Ma Chao is at a loss. This battle, I'm afraid they will be more or less fortunate. Only then did Han Sui understand why Liu Jing refused to send troops north to Guanzhong, because he knew they would be defeated. ’ to eradicate these Guanlong warlords and lay the foundation for him to take over Guanlong in the future. It has to be said that this is a far-sighted strategy. In comparison, Ma Chao seems too wise.

At this time, there was a report from the soldiers outside the tent, "I want to report to the governor, someone outside asked to see me, saying that it is the emissary of Prime Minister Cao."

Han Sui was startled, and he hurried to the tent door, only to see a military official standing outside the tent door, "Are you..." Han Sui asked suspiciously.

The military officer cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhang, and I am the prime minister's personal guard. I have sent a letter to the general by the prime minister's order."

"Please enter the account!"

Han Sui hurriedly invited the general into the big tent, and the officer took out a letter and handed it to him, "The prime minister said that Dudu Han is his old friend, and I hope this letter can give Dudu Han a bright future."

"Then I have to see what is written?"

Han Sui laughed dryly to hide the tension in his heart. He opened the letter and looked at it impatiently. The letter said that when the conditions are ripe in the future, he can be named King of Xiliang, and his family is allowed to rule Liangzhou for 30 years. The premise is that he will stop following Ma Chao to rebel and withdraw from Guanzhong as soon as possible.

Han Sui was a little hesitant. He didn't believe that Cao Cao would give him such a favorable condition. The king of Xiliang for 30 years made him a little unbelievable, and the letter said that the condition was only given when it was mature. What is a condition? Mature?That's a little far off.

However, Cao Cao sent military officials to look for him. This incident itself was an opportunity for Han Sui. He no longer wanted to hang out with Ma Chao and kill himself.

"The prime minister said that if Dudu Han feels that the conditions in the letter are not enough, and he has any other requirements, he can consider them even if they are put forward."

Han Sui sighed in his heart, if he could be the king of Xiliang for 30 years, of course he dreamed of it, but he was eager to know, what does it mean when the conditions are ripe?
