Chapter 178: Take a plan

On February 10, 2018, the seventh year of Jian'an, Pang Tong, Lu Ji and his party went from Hanzhong to Wudu and Yinping to Jicheng, and met with Zhao Yun and Du Ji. The total number of Western Expedition forces composed of soldiers from the Qifeng Camp and military academy students reached more than 1,000. They will shoulder the important task of supporting the battle situation in the northwest.

But can they be competent for this sturdy task? Although Gao Chong sent two forces to Zhao Yun and Pang Tong one after another, he still had no idea.

At the same time, given the strong combat power shown in the Battle of Beiyuan, Ma Chao, who is famous for his courage, appreciates Zhao Yun's extraordinary ability shown in the battle. In Ma Chao's eyes, Zhao Yun is no longer only his future sister-in-law, but also his companion who will fight side by side in the future.

After capturing Jincheng, Ma Chao advised Ma Teng to organize Zhao Yun's army into the Ma family army. According to his idea, it would be best to expand the troops led by Zhao Yun into a powerful brigade that could echo him. However, Ma Teng, who was suspicious, did not agree in the end. For him, although Zhao Yun's sudden arrival caused a fundamental change in the entire battle situation, he had to be prepared for the purpose of Zhao Yun's journey.

The enemy before gaining benefits was Han Sui, and after gaining benefits, his companions might be competitors. Ma Teng, who felt that things went on repeatedly in the world, decided to keep a move.

After weighing the trade-offs, Zhao Yun and Pang Tongjun were assigned to Ma Chao's command. Although the desire to become an independent army was not realized, because Ma Chao had a considerable likes to Zhao Yun, and with Ma Yunlu's relationship, Zhao Yun's actions were still quite free.

The situation in Liangzhou eased slightly after Han Sui withdrew from Jincheng, but in this superficial calm, the torrent was brave in the dark.

Chen Cang stumbled the throat of Hanzhong's entry into Guanzhong. In the past, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang lived in Hanzhong and was rejected by Chu general Zhang Han. So Liu Bang adopted the strategy of general Han Xin and "built a plank road openly and crossed Chen Cang secretly", and successfully traumatized the King of Yong Zhang Han who surrendered to Xiang Yu. When Liu Bang's army suddenly appeared near Chen Cang, Zhang Han hurriedly led his soldiers to support, but was defeated by Liu Bang, thus opening the prelude to the dispute between Chu and Han.

More than four hundred years later, this fortress became the focus of military strategists. The rapid expansion of the Ma family's power made the separatist forces of all sizes panic. Han Sui's drastic changes from prosperity to decline forced Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Li Kan, Zhang Heng and other small princes to find a new backer.

Therefore, when the messengers sent by Wei Kang secretly contacted these forces, the answer they got was surprisingly the same. For these separatist forces, a powerful Ma family was something they very unwilling to see.

In mid-February of the seventh year of Jian'an, under the leadership of Zhong Yao, the commander of Sili, Jia Xu, the counselor of Yongzhou, and Wei Duan of Liangzhou, representatives of many forces including Yang Qiu, Didao Ling Li Kan, Pingxiang Ling Chengyi, a loose alliance each obtains the necessary one. The main purpose of this alliance is to defeat Ma Teng.

As we all know, the most capable general under Ma Teng's command is his son Ma Chao. In order to defeat Ma Teng, he must kill Ma Chao first. This is the unanimous idea of ​​all the princes attending the meeting. For this reason, Jia Xu planned a plan that can be said to be perfect. The key point of this plan is to successfully lure Ma Chao into the encirclement set up by the Allied Army. In order to make Ma Chao take the bait, Jia Xu specially prepared an irresistible bait - Yang Qiu's Anding City.

Stability should be the mouth of the mountain. According to the danger of Liupan, it is the northern passage for Longxi to drive to Chang'an. If Ma Teng wants to completely gain the dominance of Liangzhou, he must first defend Stability first, so as to eliminate the attacks from the enemies from Yongzhou. At this point, even if Ma Teng lacks strategic vision, he can see the key.

The bait was laid when Ma Teng was most glorious—.

The sand was rolling in endlessly. In the brown and yellow color, a cavalry was walking along the road from Jincheng to Anxing. At the head-on position, a big flag was like poplars standing in the desert, and the wind could not blow down.

On the flag, the embroidered and bordered word "horse" is dazzling.

Under the flag, Ma Chao was wearing brand new armor, and Gu Pan was full of energy. He was as proud as him, the soldiers under his command who also rode high-headed war horses. As the first to defeat Han Sui, they received a large number of seized spoils in addition to respect.

In the sky, an eagle stared at the army beneath it was hovering. Maybe it was very hungry, hoping that there would be dead dead bodies left in the marching team. Maybe it was alert to something abnormal ahead and was in its way to warn soldiers who were heading towards danger step by step.

Ma Chao was ordered by Ma Teng to go to Anding to accept Yang Qiu's surrender. In the face of the Ma family's offensive that was like thunder, it was not only Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, and Li Kan who all sent envoys to discuss the surrender with Ma Teng.

Before Ma Chao set out, he rushed to the military tent stationed outside Jincheng City to express his respects. Both Pang Tong and Zhao Yun felt that the arrangements for Ma Teng this time were too dangerous, but Ma Chao did not agree with it.

"Zilong and Mr. Pang are too worried. Yang Qiu is just a reckless man. Under the powerful offensive of our army, if he does not surrender, he will be wiped out sooner or later. Now Yang Qiu does not surrender. When Chengyi, Li Kan and Zhang Heng surrender first, it will be better than him." Ma Chao is so arrogant about the future.

Watching Ma Chao leave, Pang Tong and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and their eyes showed worries. After pondering for a while, Pang Tong said: "Yang Qiu is the third largest force in Liangzhou after Han Ma. He has never been tame. The Anding soldiers under his command are quite fierce and brave. Now they are asked to surrender before the battle, which seems not in line with Yang Qiu's temperament!"

Zhao Yun frowned and said, "As Ma Chao said just now, Cheng Yi, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng also intend to surrender. This result is too fast. After all, the Ma family army does not have the ability to easily deal with all separatist forces?"

Pang Tong pondered for a moment and tapped the case a few times: "On the way to Xiliang, I received an urgent report from the coach, saying that Jia Xu, the newly appointed counselor of Yongzhou, had arrived in Chang'an. Jia Xu is from Wuwei and comes from the Western Liang army. It can be said that he is quite familiar with the situation in Liangzhou. Moreover, this person is resourceful. He designed to defeat Cao Cao in Wancheng in the past, so it is very likely that Jia Wen and Xilai are the purpose of dealing with the matters in Liangzhou. You and I must not be careless!"

After the defeat in Jiaozhou, Pang Tong was undoubtedly much more mature than when he was just taking advantage of the high-pet. Now his consideration of the problem is no longer limited to analysis at the battlefield level. He has set his sights on everyone who may be involved in this battle.

"Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Li Kan, and Zhang Heng asked to surrender almost at the same time. Is this a coincidence?" Zhao Yun said to himself.

"Military advisor means stability may be a trap?" Du Ji's face changed drastically.

"Well, it's very likely that this is the case. Unfortunately, all we said is just a guess. We can't come up with evidence to prove that all this is true. Now Ma Chao is determined to go to peace. All we can do is to use a plan!" Pang Tong said.

"How to use a general to make a plan?" Zhao Yun and Du Ji asked in unison.

Pang Tong said solemnly: "Now we can only mobilize all the power we can control and follow Ma Chao secretly. When the enemy moves abnormally, we will cooperate with each other inside and outside, and take the opportunity to capture all the enemies that are in chaos."

"But we can only mobilize this thousand soldiers. Even if we reach the end of stability, we may not be able to help Ma Chao. If the battle starts too much, wouldn't we have the earnest instructions of the coach before leaving!" Zhao Yun said forth.

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Why did Zilong forget that Pang De and Ma Dai, who were stationed in Jincheng City, are both friends that Ma Chao trusts. As long as we talk about the powerful and patiently, I believe they will send troops together."

Zhao Yunxi said: "Pang Lingming and Ma Jinzhi are both loyal tiger generals, so I will prepare this lobbyist!"

Anding City.

Under the dispatch of Wei Kang in Liangzhou, more than ten separatist forces including Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, Li Kan gathered together to settle down, waiting for the arrival of Ma Chao, the big fish.

As before, after Jia Xu made plans, he returned to Chang'an with Zhong Yao. No matter whether the success or failure of this roundup plan was successful or harmless, because the more lively the forces in Xiliang fought, the more they were more enjoyable they were.

On March 2nd, the seventh year of Jian'an, Yiyou, at night.

At dusk, Ma Chao's soldiers who had finally arrived in Anding City were trapped. After briefly discussing with the officials who were greeting the city, Ma Chao ordered the soldiers to set up camp to rest at a designated military field. Because it was dark and could not see clearly the surrounding situation, Ma Chao suddenly remembered what Zhao Yun warned when he said goodbye, so he became conscious and fell asleep in the tent of the next soldiers.

He did not expect that it was this temporary decision that saved him.

"Kill the horse!" In the deep sleep, Ma Chao's military camp suddenly shouted and shouted to kill.

The flames soared into the sky. Against the backdrop of the red curtains, Ma Chao soldiers who had no time to put on their armor were wrapped in the burning curtains and screamed and fell into the fire.

The Central Army Commander's Battalion was even more in a sea of ​​fire. The siege and killing troops who had already planned to come from multiple routes toward Ma Chao's central army. Their only purpose was to kill Ma Chao.

Unfortunately, this time they made great calculations, but they still missed a little. Ma Chao did not sleep in the central army tent.

After hearing the thunderous shouts of killing around him, Ma Chao, who knew something was wrong, got up in armor, grabbed the spear that was placed aside, rushed out of the tent. With the help of the guards, he quickly jumped onto the war horse and intercepted the hostile killing.

"Ma Chao is here!" Opposite, a tall enemy general came towards him holding a spear.

"Yang Qiu!" Ma Chao snorted low, got rid of the enemy soldiers who were entangled with him, and rushed towards the enemy general.

Under the attack of Ma Chao's mad tiger, Yang Qiu was defeated without a three-game. Since Ma Chao did not capture quickly, he had to win with more people. After gaining a huge advantage in numbers, he would obviously be an unnecessary move to fight Ma Chao's unwise battle.

"Around the horse thief, don't let him run away!" Yang Qiu ordered with a hatred. After just three-combination, he felt a surge of blood and blood surging, and his internal organs seemed to be injured.

Arrows flew, and the sharp arrows of ignition were projected into the uncovered military tent like meteors. Mars fell on the ground covered with firewood, triggering even larger flames. The fire broke out on all sides, leaving Ma Chao's soldiers with no way to escape.

At this critical moment, the sound of horse hooves gradually approaching in the dark night like thunder, and the "dongdongdongdongdong" hit the ground, making people feel shockingly panic.

"Meng Qi, don't panic, I'll save you!" A loud shout rang out.

"It's Zilong!" Ma Chao said happily when he twisted his gun and stopped his horse.

"Brother, young master, where are you?" Ma Dai and Pang De were shouting in distress from afar.

"Jinzhi, Ling Ming--!" Ma Chao was surprised. He never expected that in addition to Zhao Yun, Ma Dai and Pang De would also come.

Zhao Yun, Ma Dai, and Pang De were like three sharp arrows, entering the enemy formation from the left, middle and right directions, only caring about the anti-Ma Alliance soldiers surrounding and killing inside, but there was no expectation that there would be enemy soldiers behind them. Without any defense, the formation was suddenly scattered and divided. Yang Qiu and others' commands were originally based on pre-set lines and directions to confirm. Now that the whole thing is messy, it is impossible to distinguish between each other's enemy soldiers and friendly forces.

During the chaotic battle, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers will be fully utilized. The change in the momentum and the speed and slow reaction will affect whether the enemy dies or our lives. This is really an unfortunate situation for Yang Qiu and others.

By accidental killing——Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng killed each other in the dark for a long time, and finally realized that the other party was a friendly army.

Li Kan, who was in charge of the periphery guard, was the most unfortunate. He first met Zhao Yun who rushed into the formation. He was not sure that he was so powerful that he rushed forward, but in Zhao Yun's eyes, his shooting skills were really showing off.

With just one round, Zhao Yun shouted loudly, and the wind and snow gun hit the stunned Li Kan with one shot.

"Kill in!" Zhao Yun broke his horse and stepped over Li Kan's chaos army. Seeing that the defeated soldiers who died before the main general had joined the army, they abandoned their weapons and turned around and ran backwards.

In front of Li Kan's team was Zhang Heng's Four Thousand Pingxiang tribe. Zhang Heng, who was commanding the detour to encircle Ma Chao, almost fell off the horse by the defeated soldiers behind him. When he calmed down and looked around, most of the Four Thousand tribes were missing. When the sky was about to dawn, Zhao Yun finally met with Ma Chao. The two armies joined forces and fought out together. At this time, Yang Qiu, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi and other troops who had killed each other in the middle of the night also saw the other clearly through the sky.

"Zilong, how about we kill him?" Ma Chao was so angry that he stabbed a deputy general Yang Qiujun with one shot and said with a laugh.

Zhao Yun was also stained with blood in the robe. He continued: "Meng Qi's bold words, Zilong is just thinking this!"

The two of them had a hard time in the surrounding enemy soldiers. When they saw Zhao and Ma killing out of the army, the soldiers who were about to breathe a sigh of relief turned their heads and saw the two killing each other, they had to abandon the weapons they had just put down and run away with water. Yang Qiu was so angry that he supervised the formation behind and cursed.
