Chapter 486 takes advantage of the victory in Lintong Pass
The smart veterans had quickly moved away from the crowd in the battle circle at this time and fled to the side, while those stunned youths, some of whom had no hope of turning back to fight, and some of them fled together in piles.
The consequences can be imagined, what awaits them is to be caught up and lose their lives, or become prisoners.
Cheng Yin and the others were chased from side to west, and Zhong Xuan was also attacked by Yan Xing's 10,000 army at this time.
Fortunately, Zhong Xuan Dazhai was built mainly for defense, so there is no crisis yet.
But since Yan Xing led the army to arrive, Zhong Xuan knew that the news of Ma Chao's death was a conspiracy, but the soldiers he sent couldn't rush out at all.
If the news can't reach Cheng Yin and others, then the result can be imagined, but Zhong Xuan still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, so he will stick to it here.
Yan Xing attacked for several hours, suffered heavy casualties, and did not make any actual breakthrough, so he could only besiege but not attack, send the news back, and wait for Han Sui's order.
At this time, Han Sui was leading his troops to intercept Cheng Yin and other retreating routs, but there were many routs and they were facing a way out.
After less than an hour of fierce fighting, looking at the soldiers of the headquarters who kept falling, Han Sui reluctantly let go of the gap and let them leave.
Although there was a gap, the injuries of Cheng Yin and other coalition troops were aggravated a lot, and less than 5,000 soldiers and horses escaped, and even some generals became prisoners.
These defeated troops who fled back, when they saw that Dazhai was besieged, immediately turned around in fright and left, leaving Zhong Miao alone to lead the army to hold on.
Seeing the remnants of the fleeing army leaving, Zhong Miao knew that the general trend had gone, so he immediately left 500 dead soldiers behind, and led the rest of the army to quickly withdraw to Tongguan.
This war horse and Han coalition defeated Cheng Yin and other small princes of Xiliang, and in one fell swoop, the many forces of Xiliang became the direction of the two giants.
After the battlefield was cleaned up, Ma Chao and Han Sui collected their troops and returned to the village, and after some counting, more than 8,000 people were captured, and countless weapons were heavy, but there was very little food and grass.
After the big victory, the distribution of benefits was naturally indispensable, and Ma Chao personally went to Han Sui's military camp, ready to ask for his due.
In the handsome tent, Ma Chao didn't wait for Han Sui to speak, he found a place to sit down, and said: "General Han, Benzhou Mu is here to get his share back." ”
Han Sui rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Mazhou Mu is not in a hurry, the enemy army is fleeing now, it is when I am waiting to send troops to subdue Xiliang, how can I make small profits for these small profits at this time, regardless of the overall situation." ”
Subduing Xiliang, Ma Chao's heart moved, and he said slowly: "Oh, what does General Han mean, you can say it clearly." ”
Han Sui said: "Ma Zhou Mu, Sui means, I am willing to take the territory of these small forces with the Zhou Mu, and do not want a city or a pool, but these captive materials must be returned to Sui." ”
If there are people in the city, there will naturally be a source of food and soldiers, Ma Chao said with a happy face: "General Han's words, but is it true?" ”
Han Sui nodded and said, "It's true, if Lord Zhou Mu doesn't believe it, he can make a note." ”
In order to avoid Han Sui's repentance, of course Ma Chao agreed, so Han Sui ordered someone to take pen and ink, immediately wrote a promise, and handed it to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao put it away and looked at it carefully, confirmed that there was no source, and then put it away in his arms. "General Han is really generous, but I don't know, when will I send troops?"
Han Sui thought for a while and said: "The sooner the better, so I mean, after a day of rest, I will lead the army to see if I can take the opportunity to occupy Tongguan?" ”
Tongguan is under Cao Cao's rule, Ma Chao has to be cautious, if he is not careful, Xuchang's family will be in a different place.
Family life and dreams, how to choose, everyone has a different answer, Ma Chao thought for a long time, and finally chose the latter.
Ma Chao opened his mouth and said: "If you attack Tongguan, is General Han willing to contribute?" ”
Seeing that Ma Chao was as expected, Han Sui smiled and said: "This is natural, now you and I are all the way, if Cao Cao's army is overwhelmed, we can only save it if we work together." ”
There is a reason why Han Sui agreed to such a thankless thing.
Cheng Yin and other small forces are close to Tongguan, and giving it to Ma Chao is also quite allowing him to face Cao Cao directly.
And Han Sui was in the rear when he arrived, doing a tiger fight, Ma Chao had an advantage, he helped Cao Cao, Cao Cao had an advantage, he helped Ma Chao.
In this way, he can get the benefits sent by both parties, and he can also save and strengthen himself.
And the simple-minded Ma Chao naturally didn't think of this, and excitedly thought that it was Han Sui who was afraid of himself, so he would make concessions.
But Ma Chao doesn't know, it doesn't mean that no one knows.
After Ma Chao went back, he told him about it, and Pound thought for a while, and he understood the deep meaning, and immediately stood up excitedly to persuade.
can be Ma Chao's character, in a few words, how can he make sense, Pound has no choice but to turn to the second.
Pang De said: "Lord Governor, since this is the case, it is better to send people to persuade all forces to surrender, in this way, Han Sui will not be able to take much advantage." ”
The persuasion method is good, but Ma Chao's character, he prefers to conquer by force. "Ling Ming, if you can win a battle, why waste time?"
Seeing that Ma Chao was a little reluctant, Pang De analyzed and said: "If Lord Zhou Mu wants to capture Tongguan, then there must be enough soldiers and horses, and those small forces are just right to be used?" ”
It is also a good choice to use these surrendered troops to consume the vitality of Cao's army.
Although Ma Chao is belligerent, he still attaches great importance to the lives of his soldiers.
After thinking for a while, Ma Chao said: "Okay, you will arrange this matter, but the premise is that when our army arrives, if they don't surrender, don't blame Benzhou Mu for being ruthless." ”
Pang De nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, those small forces in this battle have become frightened birds, just send someone to go, and they will definitely agree." ”
Pound was right, after the first battle, the forces of the small forces were seriously damaged, and there was no chance at all, and they could make effective resistance under the joint forces of Malaysia and South Korea.
When the envoys sent by Pang De arrived, they agreed that they were willing to lead the army to surrender and help Ma Chao capture Tongguan.
After less than a month, the Maldivian and Korean coalition forces gathered nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses and arrived at Tongguan to set up camp.
As early as on the way back, Zhong Miao met Cao Hong, who led the army to support, and the two discussed, and led the army back to Tongguan to defend it.
Now that the soldiers are approaching the city, Zhong Xuan and Cao Hong are also anxious to get together to discuss.
In the face of an army of nearly four times, Zhong Xuan's face became extremely solemn, Cao Hong only led 20,000 soldiers and horses to arrive, plus seven and eight fights, it was less than 40,000.
Cao Cao has just subdued Wancheng, and there is no hope for him to continue to ask for help if he recovers from last year's war.
