Nothing happened overnight.

At dawn, Ma Chao, Han Cheng, Pang De and others continued to hurry, and Ma Chao didn't say a word about what happened last night, as if it hadn't happened.

But in fact, Ma Chao began to be wary of Han Cheng in his heart, and asked Pang De to secretly observe Han Cheng's every move.

Han Cheng was still unaware of this subtle change, and in his heart, he continued to think about his original plan, and was very much looking forward to the results he was about to come.

Ma Chao and others were still galloping in Hanyang County, and after entering Chengji County, the official road became wider, and under the leadership of Han Cheng, everyone rushed to Jicheng and went to the destination.

In the evening of the same day, everyone came to the edge of the Wei River, and Ma Chao sent people to find a boat, and secretly crossed the Wei River in the twilight.

When they arrived on the other side of the Wei River, it was already dark, so Ma Chao asked the army to rest by the Wei River and recuperate.

Jicheng is less than fifty miles away from the Weihe River, the army sets off in the morning, and arrives before noon, not to mention that everyone is dressed in disguise, even if it is discovered, there is no big problem.

Everyone sat in the woods by the river, eating the dry food they brought and drinking a little wine, while Ma Chao sat next to Han Cheng and asked, "We are already very close to Jicheng, what should we do tomorrow?" ”

Han Cheng said: "The soldiers are fast, tomorrow morning with the troops to set off, straight to the city of Jicheng, we are wearing the military uniform of Han Suijun, and I personally led the team, the army in Jicheng will never think that the enemy is coming, we will first mix into the city, go straight to the palace, and kill Han Sui directly." ”

"What about after killing Han Sui?" Ma Chao asked.

"After that? After that, I'll step in. Gather the generals in the city on the orders of Han Sui. Then catch them all. So even if Han Sui has more soldiers, they are just a plate of scattered sand, and they will not be Brother Ma's opponent at all, so we will take this opportunity to control Jicheng, and then mourn externally, just say that Han Sui is dead, then Han Sui's generals will definitely come to mourn after hearing it. In this way, we can arrest all of Han Sui's old subordinates and kill anyone who is unwilling to surrender! In this way, we can completely disintegrate Han Sui's power without much effort. Han Chengdao.

After Ma Chao heard it, he felt that what Han Cheng said seemed to be very simple, if it wasn't for the incident last night, Ma Chao would probably believe it, so he naturally obeyed Han Cheng's words. However, last night, Ma Chao discovered Han Cheng's suspicious behavior. And he talked for a moment with an unknown man in black by the stream, although he didn't hear the conversation. But he also felt that Han Cheng was not as simple as he saw.

Han Sui is treacherous, and Han Cheng is no better, if that person is here to help Han Cheng, why didn't Han Cheng introduce him to Ma Chao, but he had to be sneaky. Therefore, although Ma Chao felt that what Han Cheng said was very reasonable, he did not dare to take risks lightly.

And until this time, Ma Chao even felt that he had been in the conspiracy planned by Han Cheng, the purpose was to lure him here, let him go deep alone, and then surround him with a large army, so that he would die without a place to be buried.

"Okay, then follow Brother Han's strategy." Although Ma Chao had doubts about Han Cheng in his heart, he still had the courage to agree to Han Cheng's plan.

After that, Ma Chao took the excuse of patrolling and left with Pang De, away from Han Cheng.

"Lord, the last general can't figure it out, you obviously know that Han Cheng has a problem, why do you still agree to Han Cheng's plan, what if this is Han Cheng's treacherous plan?" Pound asked, puzzled.

Ma Chao said: "Our army is in the open, the enemy army is in the dark, and our army is alone in the depths, if we fight too early, it is very likely that we will not get anything." If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger. I want to know the truth of the matter, I want to know how things will develop, since I am here, I will take a risk, I want to see what Han Cheng wants to take us to do! ”

"However, in case it is really a treacherous scheme, our army only has 2,000 people, and it is in the heart of the enemy's army, once it is surrounded by the enemy, it will be difficult for our army to break through again!" Pound said worriedly.

"I am leading elite divisions this time, all of them are ten with one, even if they are surrounded by ten thousand armies, with the bravery of the soldiers, under my leadership, I want to break through it is not a problem. The reason why I let you come out is to sue you, you secretly tell the soldiers, always be on guard and be on guard against any situation. We're going to keep things the same, you know? Ma Chao said.

Pound nodded and said, "Understood." ”

"Very good, you follow me for another turn, and we will go back, recuperate, and at night, let the soldiers take turns to patrol the night and strengthen the precautions at night!"

"Whoa!"

Ma Chao and Pang De walked around the army, and arranged orders for the military Sima to keep them on high vigilance at all times, so as not to be caught off guard when they encounter an enemy attack.

When he returned to Han Cheng's side again, Ma Chao ordered to strengthen night precautions in front of Han Cheng, and a total of eight patrol teams were formed to take turns to keep vigil at night.

Han Cheng saw that Ma Chao was so nervous, so he smiled and said: "Brother Ma, the more dangerous the place, the safer, Han Sui's army, never dreamed that we would appear here, are you too nervous to arrange it like this?" ”

"Hehe, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, it's better to be cautious, after all, it's not far from Jicheng, I don't want any problems here."

"Don't worry, even if something goes wrong, there is still me, as long as I come forward, what problem will be solved."

Ma Chao and Han Cheng looked at each other and smiled, but the two of them had their own thoughts in their hearts, and the two people who had their own ghosts did not continue to talk, but like many soldiers, they were ready to rest.

After a long while, Ma Chao held a wine bag in one hand, handed one of the wine bags to Han Cheng, and said to Han Cheng: "Just order wine, half of our brothers." ”

"I'll forget it, let's drink it Brother Ma!" Han Cheng excused himself.

"Brother Han, I will go to the battlefield tomorrow, and there will be a lot of fighting at that time, and I won't be able to take care of you so much at that time. Tonight, you and my brother are drinking together, and we wish us success tomorrow! ”

After Han Cheng heard this, he said, "Okay." This is a blessing for success. I have to drink! ”

Thereupon. Ma Chao first pulled out the lid of the wine bag and drank it with a bang. Han Cheng saw that Ma Chao was drinking happily, and he was not to be outdone, and began to drink.

The two of them quickly drank all the wine, and after only a moment, Han Cheng felt a little dizzy, and Ma Chao in front of him also had a ghost, and then his eyes went black. And he fell unconscious.

"Brother Han! Brother Han! Brother Han ......" Ma Chao shouted while gently shaking Han Cheng's body with his hand, but Han Cheng didn't react at all, like a dead pig.

At this time, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth, he threw the wine bag in his hand, stood up directly, and said to Pang De not far away: "How much sweat medicine have you mixed in it, this guy is no different from a dead pig now." ”

Pang De quickly walked over here and said to Ma Chao: "It's not much. Anyway, everything he was carrying was mixed in, enough for him to sleep for a day and a night. Luckily, I left with a little sweat medicine. Otherwise, there's really no way to clean up this guy. Lord, what should Han Cheng do? ”

"Keep his life first, after we kill Han Sui and occupy Jicheng, the raw rice will have been cooked, and when Han Cheng wakes up, I'll see what he has to say to me!" Ma Chaodao.

Pang De said: "Then leave two people to look at Han Cheng?" ”

"No, take it away, Han Cheng's face is still useful!"

"Whoa!"

Subsequently, Ma Chao let the soldiers rest for two hours, and when it was ugly, they began to assemble the team, and all the soldiers were ready, all of them were in good spirits, and after Ma Chao's order, they rushed to Jicheng in the starry night.

Han Cheng, on the other hand, was hunched on horseback and followed Ma Chao to Jicheng.

Jicheng is located on the Weihe Plain, the roads here are all a flat road, Ma Chao and others are still driving on the official road under the banner of the word "Han", and they are heading towards Jicheng.

There is an advantage of marching at night, that is, basically you can't meet anyone, and this belongs to the hinterland of Han Sui's forces, Han Sui's troop deployment is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and when you arrive here, you will basically not encounter any night patrol teams.

Therefore, it only took one hour for Ma Chao and others to come to the city of Jicheng.

At this time, it is the darkest time period before dawn, and it is also the deadliest time for people to sleep, even if there are soldiers on the wall of Jicheng who are keeping vigil, at this time, they are yawning again and again, sleepy eyes are hazy, and their will is drowsy.

On the city wall of Jicheng, the soldiers who kept vigil at night fell asleep with their weapons against the battlements of the city wall, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the city, and the sound was getting closer and closer, like rolling thunder, which woke up these soldiers who were on the night vigil.

Although Jicheng is the county seat of Hanyang County, there is no moat, and when these soldiers who were keeping vigil woke up, they opened their eyes and saw groups of cavalry standing under the city wall.

In the dim light, they could vaguely see that these cavalrymen were wearing the same military uniforms as them, and their nervousness suddenly relaxed.

At this time, a man dressed as a military commander came out of the city and shouted to the city tower: "Quickly open the city gate and let us enter the city." ”

Although the defenders on the tower of the city relaxed their vigilance, they still said in a businesslike manner: "The night is difficult to distinguish, please spend the night outside the city, and tomorrow morning, when the city gate is opened, it is not too late to let you into the city!" ”

"We are General Yang's subordinates, on the orders of General Yang, send Gongzi back, please open the city gate and let us in, delay the business, can you take responsibility!"

Han Cheng disappeared, although Han Sui tried his best to keep it secret, but he still couldn't rest assured of his son, so in the name of Han Cheng's playfulness, let all places look for Han Cheng's traces, once Han Cheng was found, immediately bring Han Cheng to Jicheng to see Han Sui. This matter is already a well-known thing. Ma Chao planted a detailed work in Jicheng, and when he asked Pang De to go on patrol, he learned the news, so he formulated such a plan, ready to use Han Cheng to earn the city gate.

As soon as the words fell, someone brought Han Cheng out, Han Cheng lay on the back of the horse, as if he was asleep, and was straightened by the soldiers, revealing one of his faces.

The soldiers who defended the city did not know Han Cheng, and when they saw that it was indeed Han Cheng, they were ready to open the city gate and let them in, but when they saw Han Cheng sleepy, they still inquired, and the people in the city said that Han Cheng was drunk, and General Yang got him drunk so he sent them back, and they rushed for a day and a night, and they were already tired and sleepy, and asked to go into the city to send Han Cheng to the mansion, and then a group of people went to rest and rest.

The soldiers on the city tower believed it, and Han Sui had explained before, no matter who sent Han Cheng here, no matter what time it was, he must be let into the city immediately, and then sent to the government office.

So, the soldiers opened the city gate and directly sent Ma Chao, Pang De and others into the city.

As soon as the city gate opened, Ma Chao, Pang De and others escorted Han Cheng to the palace, and the last 1,000 people who entered the city suddenly launched an attack on the soldiers guarding the city.

Ma Chao's army immediately cleared the battlefield, and then took over the city gate, leaving 250 soldiers to guard here, and the other 750 soldiers divided into three ways to capture the other three gates of Jicheng, while Ma Chao, Pang De and others took 1,000 soldiers and went straight to the palace......
