713 farce
Huang Quan saw that Zhang Fei was angry, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, we have finally endured it until now, and we are only a little bit away from success. Besides, this time it was originally going to kill Xu Huang and Pang Tong for Ma Chao, only in this way can Ma Chao solve his worries, and he can really cooperate with the lord to deal with Zhang Yan together. ”
When Zhang Fei heard Huang Quan say this, he felt that what Huang Quan said was also reasonable, he finally endured it until now, and he must not mess up for some trivial things. What's more, Jia Mengguan is full of his subordinates, even if Ma Chao comes in with Xu Huang and Pang Tong, there is no need to be afraid at all, if there is any abnormal behavior, as long as he gives an order, including Ma Chao, he will be killed by random arrows.
It's just that Zhang Fei felt that the other party's request was a bit excessive, at first he just said that he would let Jia Mengguan disguise, and did not mention the matter of entering the city, but at this time he suddenly proposed to enter the city to inspect, which would inevitably make Zhang Fei feel a little angry.
Under the persuasion of Huang Quan, Zhang Fei finally agreed to let Ma Chao take Xu Huang and Pang Tong into the city, but the accompanying people should not exceed 100 people.
Huang Quan hurriedly went out of the city to discuss with Ma Chao, Ma Chao was obviously not very satisfied with Zhang Fei's arrangement, no more than a hundred people, so if he entered the city, in case Zhang Fei suddenly became difficult, wouldn't he be equal to death without a place to be buried.
Ma Chao was reluctant and said that he would bring at least 1,000 people into the customs.
Huang Quan's face was a little embarrassed, and he said to Ma Chao: "A thousand people, it's too much, right?" ”
"I'm too little for a thousand, I have to ensure my safety, in case a fly really suddenly happens. He shut the gates. I just can't escape. Surely he will die. Except for a thousand men who followed me into the city, the gates had to be kept wide open, and my men were responsible for guarding the gates, lest I have no way out. Ma Chao said.
Huang Quan frowned and said to Ma Chao: "Then I can only try, as for agreeing or disagreeing, I can't be the master!" ”
Ma Chao nodded.
Huang Quan returned to Jiameng Pass again and told Zhang Fei about Ma Chao's request. After Zhang Fei heard this, he resolutely told Huang Quan: "You go back and sue Ma Chao, I won't act in this play, he can do whatever he likes!" ”
"My lord, this ...... Do you want to think about it again? ”
"What else to consider? Jiameng Pass is not big, the pass can only accommodate thousands of people, he wants to come in a thousand people, but also occupy the city gate, which is undoubtedly equivalent to opening the main road to Jiameng Pass. In case he Ma Chao suddenly makes a difficulty, Jia Meng Pass will be completely over. He took control of the city gates, and his men could pour into the city in a steady stream. Then Jia Meng Pass will lose the meaning of defense. You go and sue him, either he comes in with a hundred men, or he doesn't come in! Zhang Fei said angrily.
Huang Quan said: "But my lord, in this way, wouldn't the cooperation between him and Ma Chao be in vain?" ”
"I'd rather take a dip in the soup than take a risk. You can sue him, I can guarantee his safety, if he doesn't even have the least trust, then don't talk about any cooperation, and when the time comes, maybe he will turn against him. ”
Huang Quan sighed heavily, he still wanted to say something, but found that Zhang Fei was already impatient, and in desperation, he had to go out again on a horse to sue Ma Chao for Zhang Fei's tough attitude.
After Ma Chao listened to Huang Quan's words, he snorted coldly and said to Huang Quan: "I thought you were completely sure, I really didn't expect that your strategy was just a farce, wasting so much of my time, otherwise, my reinforcements would have already come, and you would still be grinding your tongue here?" Huang Senjun, since you don't really follow Zhang Fei, it's better to come to me directly, don't go back, serve the court, and the court will naturally not treat you badly. ”
Huang Quan shook his head and said: "General Ma's kindness is understood, but the family and clan are in Yizhou, if I openly defect, Zhang Fei will definitely not let go of my family and clan, I can't lose a big one because of a small one." This time it was my fault, I was not completely sure, so that the current embarrassing situation appeared, and I did not expect Zhang Fei to be so cautious. But General Ma, please rest assured, I will not serve Zhang Fei, and after I go back this time, I will connect more Yizhou people to jointly rebel against Zhang Fei and ignite the flames of rebellion from within. ”
"In that case, let's join the army with Huang, then this farce will end here, the reinforcements are already on the way, not far from here, and they will arrive in the afternoon. If there is no accident, tomorrow I will launch a general attack on Jiameng Pass, and I hope that Huang Senjun will already be out of the city, otherwise, the sword has no eyes, and I am afraid of hurting Huang Senjun, which will not be good. ”
"I understand General Ma's kindness, and I will find a reason to go back to Chengdu when I go back in a while!"
The two of them bowed hands to each other, each turned to leave, and Ma Chao began to retreat with his subordinates.
On the city wall of Jiameng Pass, Zhang Fei saw Ma Chao suddenly lead the crowd away, his brows furrowed, and when Huang Quan came back, he stepped forward to ask, only then did he know that Ma Chao was gone.
Zhang Fei was annoyed and ashamed, and immediately ordered someone to tear off the flag of the Han army and take off the military uniform of the Han army, thinking that this was a complete farce, and there was a trace of anger in Huang Quan's eyes.
Huang Quan's face was also embarrassed, he wanted Ma Chao to kill Zhang Fei, but he knew that it would become like this, he could only say that he didn't know enough about Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei didn't trust him very much.
So, Huang Quan felt that his face was gloomy, and he betrayed Zhang Fei's trust, so he casually found an excuse to leave Jiamengguan and go back to Chengdu.
Zhang Fei did not stop him, and directly agreed to Huang Quan's request and let Huang Quan leave.
When Huang Quan left, Zhang Fei looked at the Han army flags and uniforms in one place, and suddenly had an idea, and actually came up with a plan. So, he immediately asked Peng Tuo and Liu Xian to come over and give them some instructions.
After Liu Xian heard this, he looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously and said, "This strategy is too risky, right?" What if it doesn't work out? ”
Zhang Fei said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." If you want to repel Ma Chao's army, the only way is to use this method. Having said that, although Huang Quan made a farce this time, he got these things by mistake, and it can't be regarded as incompetent. Just go down and prepare, and start doing your work after dark. ”
……
In Ma Chao's camp, Ma Chao was sullen and drunk, and Huang Quan's arrival gave him a glimmer of hope, but who knows, although Huang Quan's plan is good, it is more difficult to implement, so that today's farce was made.
However, Ma Chao was not idle, he had already asked people to call for reinforcements, and at this moment, Xu Huang and Pang Tong's troops should be about to arrive. As soon as they arrived, he could use the siege weapons they brought with him to launch a strong attack on Jiameng Pass.
He didn't believe that an army of more than 100,000 would not be able to take a small Jiameng Pass.
In the evening, Pang Tong and Xu Huang led two hundred elite horsemen to Ma Chao's station, and Ma Chao personally greeted him, and after greeting Pang Tong and Xu Huang for a while, he entered the big tent.
Pang Tong asked Ma Chao about the situation in the last few days, and Ma Chao told him about the situation here, and when Pang Tong heard that Ma Chao gave Huang Quan 500 sets of military uniforms of the Han army and more than a dozen banners, he immediately became nervous.
"General Ma, you are confused!" Pang Tong sighed heavily, "How can you give such an important thing to the enemy?" In the unlikely event that the enemy borrows these things to pretend to be our army and sneaks up in the middle of the night, can you tell whether it is the enemy or our own army? ”
Pang Tong's words made Ma Chao suddenly wake up, and hurriedly asked, "What can I do about this?" ”
Pang Tong thought for a moment and said to Ma Chao: "Fortunately, General Xu and I came first, otherwise, you will regret it at night." Now the remedy is urgent......"
……
After nightfall, the gate of Jia Meng Pass secretly opened a gap, and groups of black shadow fish ran out of the city, everyone had a piece of cloth on their mouths, and the four hooves of the war horse were also wrapped in cloth, so as not to make too much movement, and it was a cavalry team of five hundred people who went out of the city.
Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, this team moved forward cautiously, and as soon as they left the city gate, the city gate was closed.
The group came to a forest not far from Ma Chaoda's military camp, and after Zhang Fei's order, everyone collectively took off their military uniforms and changed into the Han army uniforms that had just arrived today.
Then, Zhang Fei waited in place, looking at the enemy camp from a distance in this forest.
This time, Zhang Fei brought carefully selected elite soldiers, Peng Tuo and Zhang Wei followed him, and the hundred personal soldiers around him were all skilled in archers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers were also able to fight and pick one in a hundred.
This night attack was Zhang Fei's whim, just using the military uniform of the Han army to attack Ma Chao's camp when he was in his son, so that the other party mistakenly thought that there was a rebellion in the army, and then took advantage of the situation to set fire to the camp and burn down the camp, so that Ma Chao's army could not be guarded. Then Zhang Fei led this cavalry again and took advantage of the chaos to kill Ma Chao.
Time passed little by little, Zhang Fei and his subordinates were quietly in the forest, they noticed that even at night, the defense of the Han army's camp did not weaken, and groups of patrols interspersed with each other, which seemed to be very well defended.
Seeing that the time was coming, there was no slack in the enemy camp, which made Zhang Fei a little annoyed, and his heart began to be anxious, and his subordinates were even more nervous, everyone was gearing up, but everyone's faces couldn't hide the worried looks.
After Zhang Fei saw it, he persuaded: "Don't worry, you will succeed tonight!" ”
When he arrived, Ma Chao's camp suddenly changed guards, but there were many fewer patrols, and only sporadic people were guarding.
Zhang Fei didn't think much about it when he saw such a scene, but felt that this was a godsend, so he turned over and said to his subordinates: "The whole army is on the horse and ready to fight!" (To be continued......)
