The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 431 430 Liangzhou Rebellion (17)

(PS: I'm sorry for the late update. I've been busy with some things during the day for the past two days, so I delayed it. It will be stable after two days. Please forgive me. There is only one update today.)
After Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Han Cheng and others returned to Gaoping City, they immediately discussed how to eliminate Han Sui.

Only then did Han Cheng take out all of Han Sui's troop distribution maps, spread them out completely in front of Ma Chao and others, and then pointed to the marks he made on the map and said: "Han Sui has about 15 troops. However, the 15 troops are scattered in various counties. It is difficult to gather all of them in a hurry. Therefore, we must first break through the more than 3 soldiers deployed by Han Sui on the border with lightning speed. Then aim directly at Han Sui, and arrive at the city of Jicheng as quickly as possible, killing Han Sui by surprise, as long as Han Sui dies, those old minions of Han Sui will be leaderless, like a mess of scattered sand, and then it will be easy to defeat them one by one .”

After listening to Han Cheng's strategy, Ma Chao felt that what Han Cheng said was very reasonable. Han Sui had many soldiers. If he fought a protracted war with Han Sui, it would be impossible to eliminate Han Sui in a short time with Ma Chao's background. , and would cause serious damage to his army.

Ma Chao was originally an eclectic person, and Han Cheng's extremely risky suggestion just made Ma Chao a little ready to move.

However, Ma Chao didn't show it on his face, but glanced at Pang De who was beside him, and asked, "Ling Ming, what do you think of Han Junshi's strategy?"

"Han Junshi's strategy is very bold. If it succeeds, it will naturally eliminate Han Sui in one fell swoop. However, I think Han Junshi's strategy is also very risky. If we do this, it will be like going deep alone. Once Han Sui cannot be eliminated quickly , will inevitably attract Han Sui's subordinates to attack, and our army will be surrounded by enemies, and it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out." Pang De analyzed.

Han Chengdao: "Although this strategy is risky, it is the most direct and fastest way. If we confront Han Sui head-on, with our current strength, we will not be Han Sui's opponent at all. And we will not be able to fight Han Sui in a short time. It is impossible to recruit so many brave soldiers. Even if the same number can be recruited, it is just a piece of loose sand. As long as there is a battle, you will definitely be defeated. If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you will win the tiger’s cub. Brother Ma is a mighty and invincible general. Would you be worried?"

Ma Chao said: "I am not afraid, but cautious. After all, this action is related to the survival of our entire Ma family..."

Han Chengdao: "I understand what Brother Ma means, but at this moment, Brother Ma should abandon all worries and devote himself to the battle wholeheartedly. If you are afraid of wolves before and tigers later, then Brother Ma will not achieve any great things in your life!"

Ma Chao was irritated by Han Cheng's words, but he didn't resent Han Cheng, but himself. He was always decisive before, why did he become assertive today?

After thinking for a while, Ma Chao said loudly, "Okay, let's use Brother Han's plan..."

"My lord!" Pang De was stunned by the letter, and immediately called out, but was blocked by Ma Chao.

"Brother, you should think it over before making a decision?" Ma Dai said.

Ma Chao said: "I've thought it through very clearly. Brother Han is right. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. If everyone thinks this action is too risky, then the other party will definitely think that we dare not go into the tiger's den." Going deep alone, this will give us a good opportunity, maybe we can really kill a bloody road!"

"But, brother..." Ma Dai said.

"No need, it's settled like this. For this operation, I plan to bring only a thousand elite cavalry. Han Cheng and Pound will go with me, and Ma Dai will stay to guard Anding County."

Both Pang De and Ma Dai knew Ma Chao's temper, and they never regretted the things they had already decided, and they would never look back.Therefore, Pang De and Ma Dai did not persuade Ma Chao, but advised Ma Chao to bring more elite soldiers in case of emergencies.

Ma Chaoyi was a bold man, and felt that 1000 men were enough, but at Ma Dai's insistence, Ma Chao led another 1000 men to form a team of light cavalry, and then followed Han Cheng's plan to march one by one on the map. After a demonstration, Ma Chao knew what to do.

I have to say that Ma Chao admired Han Cheng's unique vision.Han Cheng is very familiar with everything about Han Sui's army, including the password, the time when the troops change defense, and the interval between patrols.

It is precisely because of this that Han Cheng was able to formulate such a bold strategy, and went deep alone, heading straight for Jicheng.

For this reason, Han Cheng specially asked Ma Chao to order [-] sets of military uniforms, which were camouflaged according to the establishment of Han Sui's army. Han Chenglai was the guide and general, and the banner was also the banner with the word "Han".

Han Cheng and Han Sui broke up, and only a very small number of people knew the news, and Han Sui specially blocked the news in order not to ruin his reputation.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Han Cheng is still Han Sui's son.Looking at the entire Liangzhou, Han Sui and Han Cheng are the only people who can play the banner of the word "Han".

So, Han Cheng decided to use the fake as the real one, and let himself be in command, leading an army of [-] people disguised by Ma Chao and others, and headed towards Jicheng swaggeringly, justifiably.

Ma Chao, Han Cheng, Pang De and others came to the junction of Anding County and Hanyang County, took the troop distribution map, easily avoided the rangers of Han Sui's army, and directly entered Hanyang County.

However, Han Cheng did not walk in a straight line, but avoided the most important ones, avoiding the areas heavily defended by Han Sui's army, and specifically chose places where the troops were relatively weak.

However, they did not launch any attacks on Han Sui's army, and they kept a consistent pace. Even when they met some of Han Sui's subordinates, they were arrogant. On the contrary, those troops thought of Ma Chao, Han Cheng, Pound and others. I voted for the attention ceremony.

"Brother Han, this plan of yours is really remarkable, it can be used to deceive the world." Ma Chao said from the side.

Han Cheng smiled and said: "If I didn't know Han Sui's army very well, I wouldn't dare to go to Jicheng with such a big fanfare. Even if Han Sui's army found out, they would come forward one after another when they saw that it was me. Come here to flatter. Brother Ma, it’s getting late today, we’ve been driving for a day, I think it’s better to find a place nearby to rest.”

In order to avoid the more important and the less important, Ma Chao and the others did not take the shortcut of Long County, but crossed Liupan Mountain, passed through the three counties of Ayang, Chengji, and Xianqin, and then crossed the Weishui River to directly reach the city of Jicheng.

Although this road is a bit longer, it is relatively safe. The troops along the way are relatively weak and there are no heavy troops. Even if there is any trouble, with the combat power of Ma Chao's army, I believe it can be solved quickly.

Ma Chao and the others have been walking for two days in a row, and have already passed Ayang County. They are now at the junction of Ayang County and Chengji County. I chose a forest nearby and rested in the woods. I didn't set up a camp. I just found a random place to sleep for the night.

However, Han Cheng was not used to this kind of military life. He was used to being pampered. Sleeping in this kind of open-air place made him feel uncomfortable all over his body, and he still couldn't take off his armor, which made him breathless.However, for the sake of revenge, he still endured it, endured hardships, and became a master. The closer he was to Jicheng, the more excited he was. After the soldiers approached the city, he first killed Han Sui, and then went to kill Hou Xuan , the revenge is avenged, and he can start his plan.

Everyone ate dry food and drank the wine they carried with them. After eating and drinking enough, they fell asleep.

It was almost midnight, and the tired people all fell asleep. Han Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and he quietly left the woods where everyone was, and walked towards the edge of the woods.

There was a cold moon in the sky, and the pale moonlight reflected on the ground. Han Cheng cautiously came to the edge of the woods, looked around, and blew a crisp whistle with ventriloquist. , which is very clear.

Not long after the whistle sounded, the same sound came from a stream not far from the woods, and Han Cheng walked towards the stream. He appeared from behind a rock on the road, wearing a black strong suit, covering his face, so he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his deep eyes showed a cold light.

After the two met, Han Cheng immediately whispered, "How are you getting ready?"

The man in black said: "Everything is ready, just wait for the young master's order."

Han Chengdao: "Very well, everything here is going smoothly, everything is going according to the original plan, there must be no mistakes."

The man in black said "here" and stopped talking.

Han Cheng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, do everything carefully, and don't startle the snake. In addition, send someone to inform General Yang, General Zhang, General Liang, and General Cheng to lead their troops to the city of Jicheng in three days. They come with a praying mantis catching cicadas and an oriole behind."

"Here!"

"Go!"

The man in black received the order, turned around and left the creek, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Han Cheng then unbuttoned his trouser belt, took off his trousers, and immediately urinated into the creek, while his face was filled with an incomparable smile.

"Who were you talking to just now?"

Suddenly a voice came from behind, and Han Cheng was startled. The voice belonged to Ma Chao.He hurriedly pulled up his pants, trying to hide the panic in his heart. When he turned his face, he saw Ma Chao walking towards him in a hazy sleepiness. Before he could speak, Ma Chao had already untied his belt and stood beside him. Beside him, he urinated into the creek.

"Why are you here?" Han Cheng pretended to be calm.

"I woke up suffocated by urination. I came out to look for you because you were not here. I was afraid that you would encounter some trouble. I really wanted to hear who you were talking to just now..."

Han Cheng immediately interrupted Ma Chao, and hurriedly said, "Who is there? I'm just talking to myself."

"Oh, I thought you met a ghost!"

"You're so foolish. It's still some time before dawn. Let's go back and sleep for a while. There is still a long way to go."

Ma Chao put on his pants, nodded, and walked side by side with Han Cheng to the habitat in the woods, but his eyes always glanced at Han Cheng inadvertently, and he began to worry in his heart, asking himself: "I just saw it with my own eyes. Seeing Han Cheng talking to a man in black, he actually refused to admit it. That's fine, let me just take a look at what medicine you sell in your gourd!"
