Chapter 46 Ma Liu's expedition
After three days of repair, the army continued to advance, crossed the Yellow River to the north, and came to the vicinity of Anyi, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is open, there are dangers to defend, there are water and grass available, it is one hundred and fifty miles away from Shangdang, and the cavalry can be reached in one day, which is the most suitable for making a base camp!
Half a month ago, Ma Liu led 30,000 horses, set up a large camp here, built a strong barrier, and requisitioned 50,000 young and strong men to transport ordnance, grain and grass from Chang'an to supply the front line.
"The last general will see the Great Sima - Kurama Lawton, and I will have a hard time all the way!"
"Huh! - Own brother, no need to be polite! ”
……………………
After the two sides met, Ma Liu led a group of subordinates, bowed down to greet him, Xiao Yi supported him with both hands, and gave a hug to see him, friends who have known each other for many years, have experienced life and death together, and naturally they are extremely close, and Da Niu also came out and hugged his brothers tightly!
Over the years, Ma Liu has been sitting in Chang'an, recruiting troops and horses, accumulating grass and grain, and operating 800 miles of Qinchuan, so Xiao Yicai has no worries, and he has no worries about the princes, and even fights with Cao Cao, giving birth to the heart of replacement!
Xiao Yi's overall plan is: to assist the Cao family, sweep away the princes, and then use this as a pedal to realize his ambitions, succeed in his place, and seek to gain thousands of miles of rivers and mountains; If it doesn't work out, you can also retreat to Guanzhong and establish yourself as a king, without losing the position of a prince!
In the same way, Ma Liu stuck to the fundamentals, worked hard, and rarely had the opportunity to go on the expedition, so that he was in Cao Ying, he has been obscure, and his promotion is difficult, and even Da Niu's official position and title are far more than him, for this matter, Xiao Yi feels guilty and wants to make up for it, this attack on Bingzhou is an opportunity!
"Drink well! - Win the drink! …… If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”
"Orchid jumps well, the little waist twists really waves...... Ha ha! ”
………………
When good brothers meet, they naturally want to celebrate, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, a sumptuous banquet is set up: barbecue lamb, steamed hump, rotten stewed beef tendon, Yellow River carp, Guanzhong spirits...... There are also beautiful bearded girls dancing to help the fun, and everyone drinks happily and tells about brotherhood!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xiao Yibing retreated from everyone, leaving only Ma Liu, Da Niu, Jia Xu, Feng Ji, and Cao Pi to discuss the offensive strategy together, Shangdang County is close at hand, how to fight this battle?
"Knowing that Xiao Lang commanded the army to the west, and the state was shocked three times a day, Gao Gan transferred 60,000 soldiers and horses, personally stationed in Shangdang City, ready to be condescending, take advantage of the favorable terrain, and fight to the death with our army!
The Great War of Hebei is about to start, the Huns are also ready to move, Liu Bao convened the chiefs of the various departments, day and night in the royal court to deliberate, I heard that he and the 'right school king' reached an agreement, ready to send troops south together, loot the Han city!
There is also Xiqiang's Zhelan, who also sent someone to spread the word, the two daughters miss their father very much, and hope to see each other, if the war arises, she is willing to lead Xiqiang Jian'er and help Sima a hand! ”
During Ma Liu's reign in Chang'an, he constantly sent spies, spies, and rangers, and he knew the situation of each department well!
"Huh! -Throwing stones into the water, startling countless big fish, it is really getting more and more lively, the senior cadres are brave and unscrupulous, and the state soldiers are exhausted, there is no need to worry, Yuan Shao is too busy to take care of himself, and he has no strength to pull his nephew!
The Huns are a trouble, I heard that the old right school king - Li Yun died of illness, and his grandson Wuwei succeeded to the throne and commanded the people and horses, this scum who forgot his ancestors, actually helped the Huns, bullied his own Han compatriots, I will clean up this bastard sooner or later!
Send someone to tell Zhelan, stay on the grassland obediently, take good care of the children, and send some war horses, cattle and sheep, and camels over, this is a war between the Han people, there is no need for the Qiang people to help, they dare to cross the line one step, the sword in my hand is ruthless, if you don't believe it, try it? ”
For this war, Xiao Yi has a unique opinion, although the senior cadres are hateful, they are Han compatriots, although Zhelan is close, he is a foreign chief, his own brothers fight, and he does not ask outsiders for help.
In fact, the Huns, the Xiqiang people, are coveting the land of the Han family, once they are let in, they will inevitably burn, kill and loot, do all kinds of evil, that is to lure the wolf into the house, as a Han general, must protect their compatriots, at the critical moment, rather negotiate peace with the high-level cadres, withdraw the army, than cheap foreigners!
"Xiao Lang has the world in mind, and the younger brother admires him very much, this time he sent troops to the state, and he had a reluctant request, hoping to serve as a vanguard general, charge into battle, and kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions!"
Ma Liu left his seat, knelt on one knee, and asked to go on the expedition, with tears hidden in his eyes, after years of obscurity, his hook and sickle longed for blood!
"Huh! - This time the troops are at stake, and the position of the vanguard officer has been arranged! ”
"Xiao Lang! -I have been dormant for years, looking forward to it day and night...... Whining! ”
"Don't be disappointed, the pioneer officer arranged for others, but the position of the main general belongs to you!"
Xiao Yi picked up his brother, put it next to Ma Liu's ear, and whispered softly, the latter suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and after saluting again, he went down to transfer people!
In the early morning of the next day, Da Niu was the vanguard officer, Ma Liu was the main general, Song Xian and Wei Xu were the deputy generals, commanding 50,000 horses.
As for Xiao Yi, he sat in the camp of Anyi, ate, drank and had fun every day, flew eagles and horses, lived a comfortable life, and also convened officials from all over the world, Haoqiang, and held several banquets, so that the world knew that he did not go on the expedition!
…………………………………………………………………………
"Has the city wall been reinforced, a few trenches have been dug, how are the soldiers and horses recruited, and the messenger sent to Yecheng has not heard back?"
"Lord Qiyu Assassin Shi, the Shangdang city wall has been increased by one zhang and six feet thicker, and three trenches have been dug, and the soldiers are being recruited, but the soldiers have been fighting for many years, and the source of soldiers has dried up, and the messenger has sent out six, and it will take time for the general to send additional men and horses!"
"The knives are all on the neck, we must go all out to survive in the death, the city wall continues to be strengthened, the trenches are dug three more times, the men of Shangdang County, over the age of fourteen and under the age of sixty, all carry swords and guns, and the messenger will send ten more to quickly send reinforcements!"
………………………………
In Shangdang City-General's Mansion, Gao Gan gathered a group of subordinates to discuss the major affairs of the military aircraft, and recently, this Lord Assassin Shi had difficulty sleeping and eating, his mouth was full of big bubbles, and he was much haggard, especially when he heard the words 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', he would tremble, foam at the mouth, and run away with his legs!
Gao Gan was born in a scholar family, he didn't have any big ambitions in his life, he relied on his uncle's power, became the assassin of the state, and he was already satisfied, he just wanted to buy a mansion, gather money, and take a few more beautiful concubines, as for the hegemony of the world, he was not interested!
It's a pity, this dream can't go on, Cao Jun sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and went straight to Bingzhou, what is even more terrifying is that the commander of the army is 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', a man who is invincible and invincible, how many heroic characters, all defeated in his hands, how many brave generals, become 'skeletons', let people play and watch!
Gao Gan is quite brave, and his eyes are above the top, but no matter how arrogant he is, he doesn't dare to compare with Xiao Lang, that's the 'God of Killing' Linfan, in recent days, he has always had nightmares, either five horses split the corpse, random arrows pierced the heart, or turned into a 'skeleton cup', which was collected into a small black house, and then met Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang......
Then again, the chicken is still fluttering a few times when he is dying, Gao Gan is in charge of a state, with tens of thousands of horses, how can he sit still and wait for death, he recruits men and horses, defends the city, and sends messengers to ask his uncle for help!
Even so, Gao Gan was still weak-hearted, secretly prepared dozens of good horses, all of which traveled hundreds of miles a day, and asked the concubines to pack up the gold and silver, once the situation was not good, they were ready to run away, find a peaceful place, and continue to be a rich man!
"Qi Yu assassinated Lord Shi, Cao Jun has rushed over, fifteen miles away from the city, and is building equipment to prepare for the siege!"
"The ghost-faced Xiao Lang is here, the soldiers go to the city to set up defenses, and they must defend it to the death!"
Hearing that the enemy was pressing the border, Gao Gan trembled with fright, but at this point, it was useless to be afraid, so he could only lead a group of subordinates to the top of the city to watch......
Sure enough, fifteen miles south of the city, there was a camp, the walls were strict, the layout was neat, it was estimated from the scale, there were about 50,000 horses, what was surprising was that the camp did not see the golden wolf's head, but there was a "horse" word flag, in other words, the person who came was not Xiao Yi!
It wasn't the killing god who came, Gao Gan let out a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, Xiao Yi used his troops to deceive, if he hid in the army secretly, this matter must be guarded against, and immediately sent people to carefully investigate the military situation!
A day later, the situation was investigated clearly, Xiao Yi was still in the camp in Anyi, eating, drinking and having fun, the general who came was called Ma Ning, who belonged to an unknown generation, and had never had any military exploits!
"My subordinates heard that Ma Ning is Xiao Yi's friend, he has always been known as a brother, he is not an ordinary person, the general still sticks to the city, and it is good to wait and see what happens, and when the Jizhou reinforcements arrive, he will not be afraid of Cao Jun!"
The master book stepped forward to advise, although he didn't know the depth of Ma Ning, but he believed in a sentence, there is no good kind of neighbor with a tiger and wolf, and the good brother of Xiao Lang with a ghost face is by no means a character to be messed with!
"It makes sense, let's stick to the city and swear not to fight, see what they can do, can they still fly into the city?"
