Chapter 836: Masked Man
Ma Teng and Han Sui stayed in Xinping County for two days, and then divided their troops and left.
Ma Teng led Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai and the 60,000 troops under his command to leave Xinping County and rush in the direction of Wang Can's army. However, Ma Teng left, and Xinping County also left a little force to prevent abnormalities in Xinping County. At the same time, Han Sui also took Yan Xing and the 30,000 troops under his command to kill Wugong County behind.
The two were ostensibly fighting separately, but the two sides had been completely separated and fought separately.
Alliances, too, have cracked.
When Han Sui led the troops to leave, the speed of the journey also slowed down, and the speed was very slow. Although Ma Teng learned that the army led by Han Sui was in a hurry, he thought in his heart that Han Sui had let the soldiers rest and recuperate, so he didn't ask. Ma Teng's mind was all about how to defeat Wang Can, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Han Sui.
After the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, Ma Teng no longer paid attention to Han Sui.
At this time, Ma Teng's blood was already boiling and he was ready to be ashamed.
β¦β¦
After Wang Can got the news from Lu Meng, he quickly led the army to rush back.
Guo Jia was also riding a horse, he rode a horse next to Wang Can, and said in a low voice: "My lord, I have carefully considered the matter about Ma Teng. The news from the little general said that Ma Teng had led his troops to Xinping County to kill, and led **10,000 soldiers, such a strong force must be able to take Xinping County without much effort. However, when Ma Teng won the victory, would Ma Teng be willing to stay in Tan Binh County? β
Wang Can didn't think about it, and said, "Of course not!" β
After speaking, Wang Can's eyes lit up and said, "Fengxiao, you mean that Ma Teng will lead troops to kill us." β
Guo Jia nodded solemnly and said, "The lord is wise, and he thinks that Ma Teng will definitely leave Xinping County and kill our army." At that time, if the soldiers sent by the little general went directly to Xinping County, wouldn't they have gone to the wrong place and would not be able to encircle and suppress Ma Teng's army. Therefore, the humble suggestion was to let the little general change the direction of the march, directly bypass Xinping County, and lead the army to kill from behind Ma Teng, and attack Ma Teng on both sides. β
Wang Can hummed and said, "This method is good, in this way, it can cut off Ma Teng's back road." β
The corners of Guo Jia's mouth went up, and a smile appeared on his face.
The two continued to discuss the matter of encircling and suppressing Ma Teng, and when they talked about the subtleties, they both laughed loudly and were very happy. At this time, a guard came to report that the county commander of Xinping County had sent a confidant soldier to deliver the message.
Wang Can immediately ordered the guards to bring people over and prepare to meet the soldiers sent by Hou Fang.
However, when the soldier approached, he was only two feet away.
Not only that, but the soldiers must also be carefully searched by the guards under Dian Wei to make sure that the soldiers do not have murder weapons on them and will not pose a threat to Wang Can before they are allowed to meet Wang Can.
When the soldiers left Xinping County to chase Wang Can, they used two horses to hurry, riding a horse and bringing another horse with them. When the horse was too tired to walk, the soldier switched to another horse and continued his journey. After such a continuous rush, the soldiers caught up with Wang Can in a short time.
The soldier held the letter in his hand and handed it to the guard, who then handed it to Wang Can.
Wang Can opened the envelope and carefully read the contents of the letter.
After reading it, Wang Can sneered twice.
The content of the letter was discussed between Hou Fang and his staff, saying that Hou Fang was forced to surrender Ma Teng in order to keep his useful life. However, Hou Fang was loyal to Wang Can and waited for Wang Can to kill him back.
Wang Can handed the letter to Guo Jia, and then instructed the soldiers: "You go back and tell Hou Fang, just say that this king understands his helplessness, and is also glad that he can be loyal to this king, and let him serve as the county magistrate of Xinping County well, so as not to be discovered by Ma Teng." After finishing speaking, Wang Can asked the soldiers to go down to rest, and when they were rested, they returned to Xinping County.
After the soldiers left, Wang Can looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, what do you think?" β
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, this person doesn't keep his hands, it's not easy to master, and he welcomes him on both sides, it's not easy to use!" However, being in the position of the county commander of Xinping County is not embarrassing, and it is indeed difficult for the Hou Fang. β
Wang Can nodded and said, "This person can be used, but not greatly!" β
Regarding Wang Can's comments, Guo Jia did not take them to heart.
These things were not his responsibility, and when he heard about them, he immediately forgot about them.
Guo Jia continued: "Since Hou Fang is loyal to the lord, the lord can send someone to inform the little general and ask him to send a small group of soldiers to Xinping County. However, there must be Ma Teng's soldiers in the county, and this must be noted. It is hoped that the little general can take Xinping County on the one hand, and on the other hand, lead his troops to intercept and kill Ma Teng, so that Ma Teng's retreat can be blocked. β
After Wang Can heard this, he immediately adopted the suggestion.
He called the scout who delivered the message and asked the scout to convey the order to LΓΌ Meng.
The army was still on the way, but Wang Can and Ma Teng led the troops in the opposite direction. Although more than a month has passed, the distance between the two sides is very long, but it will not take long to rush like this.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a scout came running quickly, then rolled over and dismounted, falling to one knee on the ground.
Wang Can asked, "What's the matter?" β
The scout said loudly: "Great King, more than 1,000 Hu people have been found fifteen miles away from the rear of the army, and they are rushing towards our army. β
The expression on Wang Can's face did not change, but there was something strange in his heart. Last time, Wang Can led his troops to slaughter thousands of Hu people, and now more than 1,000 Hu people are coming, don't you know that he has tens of thousands of troops?
More than 1,000 Hu people, are they looking for death?
Wang Can waved his hand to let the scout retreat, thought about it for a moment, and ordered: "Fengxiao, you take Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren, and lead all the infantry to continue on the road." The broken military camp led by Zilong stayed, and I want to see how bold these more than 1,000 Hu people are. A thousand people dare to kill blatantly, bold! β
Guo Jia nodded in response, and then conveyed the order.
Suddenly, the infantry and the cavalry of the broken barracks were separated. Chen Zhi and Zhang Ren led the troops to continue to advance, and Wang Can, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei led the broken army camp to stay, waiting for the Hu people to arrive.
Time passed, and the scout came again to report that the Hu people were already five miles away.
Five miles!
This was already a very short distance, and Wang Can rode his horse and whipped up his horse and led the army back for a distance.
It didn't take long for the two sides to meet on a wide road. Wang Can rode on his horse and looked around, only to see more than 1,000 people sparsely on the vast road opposite. Among these Hu people, it turned out to be a Han Chinese as the leader. After Wang Can saw the Han people, his pupils shrank, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Because the Han man was riding on a horse, he actually had a ghost face made of sandalwood on his face, which was very scary.
Although he couldn't see this person's face clearly, he was wearing Han clothes, and his figure was long and thin, which was not the same as other Hu people, so Wang Can preconceived that this person was Han.
"Da! Da! β
The Han man wearing Hanfu and a mask shook the reins of his horse, rode his horse forward and took about ten steps, stood in the center of the battlefield, and then looked up at Wang Can.
That action, it seems to say that Wang Can dares to come out?
Wang Can's gaze swept over the more than 1,000 Hu people opposite, and then stared at this masked man, his heart full of doubts. This man can boldly ride a horse to the center of the battlefield, and he has the courage to do so. At least, this is not the style of the Hu people, if the Hu people lead the troops to kill, it will definitely be a direct fight of swarms, and it is impossible to stop.
"Drive!"
Wang Can let out a low snort, rode a black horse, and slowly walked forward about ten steps. He stopped and looked at the masked man, but Wang Can didn't speak, and waited quietly.
Suddenly, the masked man laughed loudly and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the king of Shu, you have the courage, admire!" β
His voice is beautiful, with a characteristic gentleness, which is very comfortable.
Wang Can sneered: "Your Excellency won't deliberately take Hu Ren out for a walk, it's okay to find trouble, right?" If that's the case, I'm afraid you'll have to think about whether you've found the right person. β
The man with the mask stared at Wang Can, and his body suddenly straightened.
At this moment, that person was like a peerless sword, with a sharp edge, which made Wang Can cautious.
Obviously, this person is a master.
