Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 335 An Liang County Rescues Ma Chao

After Ma Chao left Anding County, Xue Rengui led his troops to Anding County, because according to the previous agreement, after Ma Chao sent troops to Guanzhong, Anding County would belong to Zhang Yi.

Xue Rengui led his troops from Ayang in Hanyang County to Anding County, attacking Wushi, Chaona, and Gaoping, divided Yanyan into the north to attack Sanshui, and then entered Beidi County to attack Fuping, Lingzhou, and Lian County.Because Fuping is the seat of Beidi County, Xu Shu and Yan Yan went north, while Han Song and Xue Rengui went south.

Xue Rengui went south to Linjing, Pengyang, Yinpan, and Quailgu. After handing over the political affairs to Han Song, he went east to attack Yiju and Niyang, and then stationed troops here.

In June, when Ma Chao was besieged in Huaili, Xue Rengui immediately went south into Fufeng County and stationed in Qi County to observe the situation.

Wei Rui, who was in Shangbei, also began to raise troops to station in Mei County, took over the defense of Chen Cang and Mei County, and spied on Wugong and Huaili.

When Ma Chao was surrounded in Huai Li, he had already asked Ji County for help.Ma Chao didn't realize that his dependence on Li Hongzhang was already very strong now, and whenever he got a little frustrated, he thought of Li Hongzhang.That's why Wei Rui's soldiers and horses appeared in Mei County.However, Wei Rui didn't get too close to Huaili because he didn't have many soldiers, only a few thousand.Most of the troops were taken away by Xue Rengui, and he needed to wait for the troops from Hanzhong in Mei County.

Wei Yan of Hanzhong supported many soldiers to Mei County through Baoxie Road, and then stationed troops in Mei County with Wei Rui.

Wei Yan has a reckless personality and is somewhat dissatisfied with being under Wei Rui's command.But in terms of qualifications and combat achievements, he is not as good as Wei Rui.However, Wei Yan has always thought highly of himself, and he doesn't think he is inferior to Wei Rui, but Zhang Yi's military discipline is strict, and Wei Yan dare not violate military discipline easily.He had no choice but to go to Wei Rui and said to him: "General Wei, now that we have a strong army and sufficient food and grass, we can fully support Huaili, why should we stay here?"

Wei Rui shook his head and said, "The time has not yet come."

"What does it mean that the time has not come?" Wei Yan asked puzzledly: "Now that Cao Cao has surrounded Huaili, Ma Mengqi is helpless. If he does not go to rescue, he will only be defeated."

"If he keeps too many troops, what should we do with him?" Wei Rui asked.

Wei Yan was taken aback for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.Although they are allies with Ma Chao, who knows that this ally is just an exchange of interests.

Ma Chao wanted the land of Guanzhong, so Zhang Yi naturally wanted it too.Before helping Ma Chao send his soldiers to Guanzhong, it was just to exchange the land of Liangzhou. Li Hongzhang not only agreed to Ma Chao’s recruitment of soldiers, but also food for food, and weapons for weapons. It cost more than Xue Rengui needed to pacify Liangzhou. .

Li Hongzhang can be said to have done his utmost to Ma Chao, which is the main reason why Ma Chao wanted to ask Li Hongzhang for help whenever he suffered a setback.

But after all, Ma Chao is not his own, and there are conflicts of interests between the two parties. Naturally, Li Hongzhang and others will not be picky, and they will turn to Ma Chao in everything.

After Wei Yan figured this out, he stopped talking immediately, but went back to mobilize his troops, ready to go to war at any time. With Ma Chao's current strength, he shouldn't last long.

Ma Chao was besieged in Huai Li, and only [-] of the [-] army had long been left.When he attacked Chang'an, he lost thousands of people. When Cao Cao came, he even suffered a defeat and lost thousands of people. Those Qiang people who were afraid also fled thousands of people in private.

After arriving in Huaili, Liang Xing led his troops to surrender because he was afraid of Cao Cao.Because of Liang Xing's surrender, the camp outside the city was breached and was besieged by Cao Cao's army. If Pang De came out with some soldiers, he would not even have 1 soldiers.

Ma Chao became impatient after being besieged for more than a month, "Why hasn't Li Shijun's troops arrived yet?"

Pang De said: "Is my lord still looking forward to Li Hongzhang? They have sent troops to Guanzhong, but they are staying in Mei County. If they want rescue, they will arrive sooner or later."

Ma Chao's face was uncertain, and he asked with some puzzlement: "Emissary Li took me very well, why?"

Pang De said: "Even though Li Shijun treats the lord well, he is not the lord. Zhang Zhengdong has long intended to annex the world, how can he turn a blind eye to Guanzhong? Guanzhong is the place where the Han Dynasty thrives. If there is a chance, Zhang Zhengdong will naturally It will be included in the bag, the reason why the previous party agreed to the lord to enter Guanzhong is because he valued the lord's bravery, which can reduce Cao Cao's troops, and the lord will not be Cao Cao's opponent, and when the lord is desperate, he will definitely go to the past."

After Ma Chao listened, he suddenly realized!He became anxious again: "What should I do?"

Pang De said: "With the current strategy, the lord has absolutely no possibility of self-protection. Either vote for Zhang or Cao."

"It's impossible to vote for Cao Cao!" Ma Chao waved his big hand, "Cao thief killed my father, and he can't avenge my father. Chao is already against ethics. If he voted for Cao Cao again, wouldn't he be cast aside by the people of the world?"

Pang De said: "It is precisely this that Mr. Li valued so that he has more eyes on the lord! Han Wenyue may have seen it long ago, so he stayed in Jincheng and did not care about world affairs. He probably knew that he could not keep the soldiers and horses, so That's why I recruited Li Shanchang as my son-in-law, and made early plans for the Han family."

Ma Chao pondered for a while, and said to Pang De: "Ling Ming, you break out and go to Mei County, take my seal and ribbon, and tell them that as long as they come to rescue, I, Ma Mengqi, will serve Zhang Zhengdong as the master."

Pang De immediately took the order, took Ma Chao's seal and ribbon, and led the cavalry to fight out of Huaili.Xia Houyuan and Zhang He led troops to block them, but they did not stop them, and Pang De broke out.

After Pang De arrived in Mei County, he immediately expressed his attitude to Wei Rui. Wei Rui saw Ma Chao's seal and ribbon, and immediately ordered soldiers and horses to fight for martial arts. At the same time, he sent a letter to Xue Rengui, asking him to go to Chang'an from Qi County to encircle Wei and save Zhao Zhi. Policy.

When Wei Rui arrived at Wugong, he ruled out Pang De and Wei Yan to harass Huaili.

Cao Cao had already made up his mind, and he had decided to take down Ma Chao in one battle to avoid future troubles.

But he didn't expect Zhang Yi's soldiers and horses to get involved again, which made him very angry.In addition to being angry, he could only slow down the siege. Zhang Yi's elite army made him dare not act rashly.

Cao Cao sent Xia Houyuan and Zhang Yun to confront Pang De and Wei Yan.While shooting a letter of persuasion to the city, many Ma Chao soldiers fell out of the wall and surrendered to Cao Cao.

However, ten days later, Cao Cao suddenly received a letter from Chang'an asking for help, and Xue Rengui suddenly sent troops to Chang'an.After Cao Cao received the request for help, he immediately fainted from a sharp pain in his head.

The doctor checked and found that Cao Cao had a headache recurrence because of his rush.After a long time, Cao Cao woke up, and Cao Cao immediately ordered to return to Chang'an.

There are only two to 3000 soldiers in Chang'an. With Zhang Yi's siege ability, it only takes four or five days for Chang'an to be defeated.Fortunately, Huaili is not far from Chang'an, and it takes only two days to arrive.
