Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 712 Pre-War Planning
Mercedes-Benz for two days in a row, stretching as far as the eye can see, is full of yellow sand.

On this vast Gobi, apart from the yellow sand, there are severely weathered rocks, rugged and weird, whimpering in the wind and sand, like a ghost crying.

Ma Chao and the more than [-] cavalry behind him had passed through the hinterland of the desert between Tianshui and Jieting, heading straight for Longxi County.

Except for the occasional withered and yellow weeds by the small river, the rest of the place is as desolate as a ghost land.The sky is yellowish-grey, you can't see very far, and it looks even more depressing. Even if there is a light wind, it will bring a little wind and sand, swirling, spinning strangely, and going far at extreme speed, making people feel the horror of being in death.If it weren't for the fact that this army is on an iron-blooded journey and has gone through the cycle of life and death for a long time, otherwise this endless desert will be scared away.

No matter where you look in the southeast, northwest, you can't see the edge, everywhere is devastated and desolate.As Ma Chao was walking, he couldn't help asking Yang Fu: "Do we have to take this dead end?"

"My lord, this is the hometown of Fu. And Longxi County and the bandit army are in a confrontation. A certain class of soldiers will be able to defeat the invading bandit army in one fell swoop without knowing it or knowing it!" Yang Fu kicked his legs again. Pushing on the stirrups, he coordinated and stretched his tired body from the bumps, and turned back to Ma Chao.

"There should be no problem with Pound, right?" Ma Chao frowned, and then asked casually.

"There should be no problem." Yang Fu said, recalling the map, he said: "Pang Pingdong also has more than [-] horse cavalry. Chengyi's [-] army should be easily captured. What's more, Pang Pingdong has Fa Xiaozhi, Xu Yuanzhi, and Hua Ziyu to help him in this expedition, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Well," Ma Chao didn't say anything more, but just speeded up the whip, but the ominous premonition that had been faintly rising since the expedition became more and more intense: this expedition seems to be extremely normal, but is it true that the troops are divided into two groups? no problem?Although Liangzhou is caught in internal strife, there are no people with insight who can see the result of the Ma family's decision to send troops to help?
After walking for another half a day, Ma Chao saw Xiao Tian report that he had found a suitable place to camp, looked up at the sky, Ma Chao then stopped the elephant dragon, and ordered all the troops to set up camp.As for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Xun You, Yang Fu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, Yang Xiu and others, they followed Ma Chao into the Chinese military account.

"Before the march, everyone has a plan in mind, but the soldiers are dangerous and unpredictable, and you must be cautious." Ma Chao unfolded the marching map and laid it out among the desks.Then he looked at Yang Fu and said, "Let Yishan first talk about the situation in Liangzhou for your reference."

After finishing speaking, Ma Chao looked at Yang Fu, and after Yang Fu rationalized his thoughts, he took the lead in grasping the void with five fingers, and after covering the whole of Liangzhou, he said: "Since ancient times, Liangzhou has been in constant war. The five prefectures of Hu, Dunhuang, Wuwei, and Jincheng are all mixed places of Hu and Han. However, most of the Han people have the strategy of moving to the border, which makes the contradiction between Han and Hu very deep. Fortunately, the lord of the world, the Hu and Han family's ideas spread, so Han Sui, the leader of the Iron Qiang Alliance, also promoted this. Policy, let Liangzhou make a little decision."

Having said all this, Yang Fu pointed straight to the point, and continued: "Han Boyue is dead now, although there are signs that Cao thief did it, but Cheng Gongying led the army to attack Longxi, but it was a one-shot defeat!" , Yang Fu pointed to a county in Longxi and said: "Cheng Gongying took over Jincheng County's military force, and there are more than [-] soldiers. It seems that the army is menacing, but it doesn't have the essence of a military strategist."

"First, the civil strife is not settled." Speaking of this, Yang Fu pointed his finger at Jincheng County and said, "Jincheng has been run by Han Zhenxi for a long time, and its people's hearts are mostly for the Han family, and the lord is the son-in-law of the Han family, and he is satisfied with the people's wishes. Before Cheng Gongying could appease the people, he lured and killed my Ma family's Longxi prefect, and even sent troops to fight against the Ma family. This action has already made the people of Jincheng dissatisfied. This made the Han family's side branches secretly surrender to the Ma family."

"Secondly, external aggression is unstable." When he said this, Yang Fu moved his finger to Xiping County again, and continued: "Qi Yan, the governor of Xiping County, maintains a neutral attitude in this internal strife. But the general of the Han family Ma Wan However, he supported the Ma family and led [-] Han Sui's old troops to attack Jincheng in the south of Xiping County. Although Cheng Gongying has the upper hand in Longxi County, Jincheng's defense is weak, which is its weakness."

"Thirdly, there is not enough rear strength, and there is no help." Yang Fu no longer looked at the map, but looked at the people and said: "Cheng Gongying only has [-] troops, but behind him in Liangzhou, he is killing the people inside." Fighting is a land of endless chaos, and there is no backup to support it. The lone army expedition to Longxi, even if the army is like fire, it will burn out at some point, and the lord sending troops at this moment is like pouring a ladle of cold water, breaking the morale of the enemy! What's more , What I did after a certain time was..."

"Riding the camp and attacking the food!" Zhang Liao saw the light in Yang Fu's eyes, and instantly thought of Yang Fu's thoughts, and said, "Since Cheng Gongying has no reinforcements, the supply of food and grass must be the most important thing. Wait for this trip." If you cut off Cheng Gongying's supply line first, greatly lowering the morale of the enemy army, and then engage in a pincer attack with the soldiers of Longxi County, Cheng Gongying will definitely be defeated at the first touch!"

"That's right," Li Ru stroked his whiskers, and said with a cold glint in his eyes, "Although this plan is clever, it's not poisonous enough..."

Hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help becoming interested in this poisonous snake, and asked, "If Wen You has a poisonous plan, just tell it, and don't let your reputation of 'poisoner' live up to you!"

Li Ru's face turned dark when he heard this, and he couldn't tell whether Ma Chao was praising him or belittling him.But after a while, he resumed his gloomy behavior before, pointing to the middle road from Jincheng to Longxi, and said: "Cheng Gongying is unpopular with the people, so he must grab grain from Jincheng County and transport it to the front line. If a certain party only intercepts the grain road, It would be a waste of such an opportunity.”

As he said that, the gloomy light in Li Ru's eyes became more erratic, like a poisonous snake staring at a mouse and spit out a letter: "The law of using troops is to encircle them with ten, to attack with five, to fight with multiples, and to divide the enemy." If you are small, you can escape, and if you are not, you can avoid it. At the moment, Cheng Gongying is fighting fiercely with Longxi. If he suddenly hears that the grain road has been intercepted, he will definitely return with all his strength. Although our army is only [-], but The combat strength is no less than a hundred thousand troops. Wouldn't it be better if we surrounded the grain road and set up an ambush, waiting for Cheng Gongying to come back to help?"

"Fighting for help? It's really a clever plan!" After hearing Li Ru's plan, Xu Huang couldn't help clapping his hands, but thinking about this plan, it was two steps at a time, and it even had a plan. He was immediately overwhelmed by the viciousness of it, and changed his words: But a clever trick is even a poisonous trick!"

And Ma Chao looked around and saw that everyone was thinking in this way.But the situation on the front line seems to be relatively optimistic at present, so he couldn't help saying: "Since that's the case, after strengthening your vigilance today, you should rest earlier and rush to Jincheng tomorrow, so we will follow this plan!"

"The humble (subordinate) obey!" Hearing this, everyone retreated one after another.But Guo Jia, who was at the end, deliberately took a step behind and stayed in Ma Chao's account.

But Ma Chao was still immersed in the map, Guo Jia's shadow was illuminated by the candle, and after blocking the map, Ma Chao realized that Guo Jia had returned to the front of the map.But when he looked up, he saw that Guo Jia's usual free and easy face was covered with a slight layer of doubt.

"Brother, do you think this battle is very strange?" Ma Chao said, directly expressing his opinion.

"Yeah, everything seems too simple..." Guo Jia replied, muttering to himself, "Cheng Gongying, an unknown man, was able to capture about [-] of Han Bo's army, and even deceived him." Among the three heroes and one hero, Jiang Jiong was appointed as the head... It seems that this move is beyond the capabilities of ordinary unknown generals."

Ma Chao also nodded, but at the moment he has no idea at all, so he could only open his mouth and say, "Li Ru's plan is watertight. Even if Cheng Gongying sees it through, I can run away with one blow... Everything will be done after the trick tomorrow night." Go ahead."

Guo Jia was speechless. Obviously, the inside story of the upheaval in Liangzhou was too strong.Even though their sharp eyes saw through the core, they didn't see through everything.
