Chapter 311 Xiliang Jinma Chao

Liangzhou is located in the northwest of Guanzhong, and counties and counties are distributed from south to north. Among them, Beidi, Anding, Tianshui, Longxi, and other counties are in the hands of Niu Fu.Ma Teng controls Wuwei and Jincheng, while Han Sui controls Dunhuang, Zhangye and other places in the west.

Compared with Guanzhong, which is located in the basin, Liangzhou is mostly desert, with insufficient water sources, and the fertility of the soil is far inferior to the land of Guanzhong.The land in Liangzhou is barren and borders with other ethnic groups.As the saying goes, one side of water and soil supports one side of people, and Xiliang's land is barren, making it even more difficult for its people to survive. This has created a unique folk custom in Liangzhou.Just like Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, the Xiliang soldiers under his command are like wolves and tigers, and the word sturdy is the most appropriate description.

The folk customs of Liangzhou are tough, and the Han nationality and the Qiang nationality live together. Even the well-known Ma Teng, his wife is also a Qiang woman.It can be seen that it has a deep assimilation with other ethnic groups. In such a place, its culture and customs are different from those of the Han people.

In Liangzhou, Liu Bian didn't plan to send troops to recover so early, because he was too troublesome, and now he was going to fight Liangzhou, but it was a hindrance.Therefore, Liu Bian's strategy is to attack Yuan Shu, who seems to be the most powerful today, attack Nanyang, and insert a nail in the Central Plains.

Don't you see that in history, after Cao Cao regained the Central Plains of Hebei, he didn't even attack Xiliang, but went south?This also explains to a certain extent how tricky Liangzhou is.Harvesting is hard to harvest, cure is hard to cure!

However, things backfired, even though Liu Bian didn't want to attack Xiliang so early.However, Guo Kan's deeds in the Western Regions made Cao Cao and others unable to sit still.

Obviously, Niu Fu and Han Sui took refuge in foreign tribes, and Guo Kan ruled the Western Regions in an instant.In addition to the time when Jin Yiwei was destroyed.From the time point of view, Cao Cao, Wang Meng and others could tell that during the Spring Festival, it was the time for their troops to attack Chang'an.At that time, when Chang'an fell into the joy of the New Year, the border guards would let foreign soldiers and horses enter the pass. In addition, the internal aristocratic family should cooperate with the outside, and Chang'an would surely fall.

Waiting for Han Sui and Niu Fu to join forces to destroy Ma Teng, and waiting for Guo Kan to unify the Western Regions and attack Chang'an. At that time, they will definitely defend passively.Cao Cao decided to rescue Ma Teng first, and then send troops to occupy some counties and counties in Liangzhou as a buffer against Guo Kan in the future.If there is no place to buffer and a battle is fought, wouldn't the people on the border of Guanzhong be in dire straits?
Zhao Yun's Bai Mayi attacked first, and Cao Cao led an army of [-] in the rear. Both of them were able to contain the enemy.As long as some counties and counties in Liangzhou are occupied, Cao Cao can move the people in the territory to Guanzhong, and fight against Guo Kan's soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

But Yan Xing was defeated by Zhao Yun in Huating, and his attempt to kill Pang De failed. Although Li Yuanfang went to pursue him, Yan Xing was finally allowed to escape back to Liangzhou.

After Yan Xing fled back to Xiliang, he rode straight to Guzang, Wuwei County.Guzang is the seat of Wuwei County, where Ma Teng's troops are stationed. Now the soldiers and horses of Niu Fu and Han Sui are indeed stationed outside Guzang City.

Guzang was Ma Teng's last city. If the city was destroyed, he would die if he didn't surrender. If he surrendered, he would be a traitor and tarnish the reputation of his ancestors.

Under Guzang City, Niu Fu Han Sui's army was surrounded in all directions. Now Ma Teng only has [-] soldiers left in the city, but Niu Fu Han Sui indeed dispatched [-] soldiers and horses, [-] per sect!The city of Guzang was completely surrounded.

Yan Xing rushed to Guzang without stopping, and two days later, he arrived at the east gate of Guzang, Niu Fu and Han Suiju were under the east gate.Because now Ma Teng has only one way to go, which is to break through the encirclement to the east and enter the Guanzhong. Therefore, Ma Teng has no way to go when he surrounds the east gate.

Yan Xing entered the camp to meet Han Sui and Niu Fu.

"Yanming, are you back? It's good to be back. Now that Ma Teng is huddled in Guzang City, he hasn't sent cavalry to break through the siege for several days. It's just that his son Ma Mengqi is extremely fierce. We can't break through Guzang with our army. You're back, just to deal with that kid!" Han Sui was Yan Xing's lord, and Han Sui was very pleasantly surprised when he saw Yan Xing come back.

A month ago, when Niu Fu and Han Sui attacked Ma Teng, Ma Teng was still powerful in the second county of Jincheng, so he sent many soldiers and horses to Guanzhong for help.Niu Fuhan was afraid that the news would leak out, so he sent Yan Xing to Huating to intercept and kill the soldiers and horses who asked for help.

Fortunately, Yan Xing was sent, and Ma Teng also sent Pang De for help.If Yan Xing hadn't gone, I'm afraid Chang'an would have known the news long ago.

In the past month, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses could not resist the joint attack of Niu Fu and Han Sui, so his territory became less and less.Afraid of being defeated one by one, Ma Teng simply hoarded his soldiers and horses in Guzang.But in this way, the people who sent out for help were stopped at the city.So counting the time, Yan Xing should come back.

But who knows, Yan Xing did not come back voluntarily, and the information he brought back was indeed leaked information.

"My lord, General Niu Fu, the news has leaked out, and Chang'an has already known our layout! I'm afraid we are ready to defend against the enemy at this moment!" Facing Han Sui's joyful face, Yan Xing said with a serious expression.

"How is it possible? Does Li Ru dare to go to the border to investigate in person?" As soon as Yan Xing said this, a middle-aged scholar in the camp asked in surprise. The comparison was Jia Xu, who is now Niu Fu's military adviser.

Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Jinyiwei was destroyed, you blocked the news in Huating, the Chang'an family was in chaos, Cao Cao controlled the military power, Wang Meng controlled the political power, Li Ru wanted to keep an eye on the family, the three of them couldn't leave at all. Except for these three people , No one has the ability to go to the border to check the news! Aren’t the three of them afraid of chaos in Chang’an, so they went to check the news in person?”

"It was the newly appointed Yongzhou Biejia, who was protected by Zhao Yun! Du Ming wanted to kill people to silence him, but unfortunately he lost to Biejia's men. I was dragged by Zhao Yun, and I could do nothing!" Yan Xing explained with his head bowed.

"He's from Luoyang?" Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and murmured with a chuckle, "Li Wenyou, after what happened to Dong Zhuo, you have also learned to protect yourself wisely. You would rather invite people from Luoyang than let people look down upon you." , and don’t want to risk yourself? Is it my honor to make you so afraid of me?”

Niu Fu's face darkened, and he said doubtfully, "Since Du Ming is dead and you have escaped again, most of Du Ming's subordinates are dead men from aristocratic families, and they won't leak the news. How can you be sure that our plan will not be released?" Did the people in Chang'an know about it?"

A trace of helplessness flashed across Yan Xing's face, he sighed and cupped his hands and said: "I intercepted Pang De that day, and I couldn't bear to kill him. I wanted to subdue him to serve us, so I put him in prison. Later, when Zhao Yun came, I thought Go kill Pang De, but it's too late! Please punish the general!"

"Hmph!" Niu Fu's face was full of anger, but Yan Xing was not his subordinate after all, so he suppressed his anger and said to Han Sui: "Look at your subordinates, they have ruined our great event!"

Han Sui's strength was inferior to Niu Fu's, and Niu Fu was the main one. Now that Yan Xing made a mistake, his face was dull, and he said in embarrassment: "I also ask the general to make amends and give him a chance!"

"Hmph!" Niu Fu turned his head away, ignoring the two of them.

Han Sui turned his head in embarrassment, and said to Yan Xing in a deep voice: "How can you feel compassion at this time? Remember you first, now that Ma Teng is trapped in Guzang, Ma Chao'er is very brave, and can't attack for a long time, you Go and behead Ma Chao for me, and pay for my crime!"

"Wait!" Jia Xu, who was silent for a long time, came out suddenly, and said to Niu Fu, "General, at this time, we should retreat quickly and return to the county!"

"What did you say?" Niu Fu turned his head in surprise and said, "Going back to defend the county? Who will attack me? General Guo's unification of the Western Regions is imminent, and he will soon be able to join us to attack Guanzhong. If they don't hurry up and deploy their defenses, why? Still have the guts to attack Liangzhou?"

This is what most people think. Guo Kan will soon be able to assemble an army of 10,000+ to attack Chang'an. If Chang'an does not strengthen its defenses at this time and send more troops to defend, will it be impossible to attack Liangzhou?
Jia Xu explained in a deep voice: "The best defense is to attack. Now the general is attacking Ma Teng in Wuwei, and the rear is empty. If Cao Cao and others take advantage of the gap and take down some counties, they will use these places to fight us in the future. , is the best defense!"

"Is Wenhe worrying too much? There are still [-] troops in the rear, and the Guanzhong border is unstable. How can they dare to attack casually? Right now we are about to take down Ma Teng. If we retreat at this time, won't we return empty-handed? What's more, if we don't immediately Some credits, destroying Ma Teng as a capital to join Temujin's promotion, let Guo Kan come and destroy Ma Teng at that time. How can we hold our heads up?" Han Sui said solemnly with narrowed eyes.

Hearing this sentence, Niu Fu looked certain, nodded deeply and said: "Wenhe don't have to worry, I still have [-] troops behind me, don't say that Chang'an soldiers and horses will not attack, even if they attack, I can attack first." Kill Ma Teng, and then go back and kill them!"

"General~" Jia Xu twitched, but he didn't try to persuade him after all.

Niu Fu was looking at Yan Xing, and gave an order gloomyly: "Yan Xing, I promise you to pay off your merits. Ma Chao is brave and prevented our army from breaking through the city. I heard that you fought with Ma Chao two years ago and almost stabbed him to death with a spear." ? Presumably your bravery is still higher than his?"

Yan Xing cupped his hands and said: "There is such a thing!"

Niu Fu nodded and said: "In that case, go to the city and call for battle. Be sure to kill Ma Chao and pay off the crime!"

"The last general takes orders!" Yan Xing stared darkly, folded his hands and accepted the orders, strode out of the tent, took a spear, put on a good Xiliang horse on his hips, and came to the gate of the east city to call Ma Chao.

"Ma Chao, come out and fight to the death with me!" Yan Xing went straight to the bottom of the city, immediately raised his spear, and shouted at the city gate.

The defenders of the Ma family army on the city wall heard this, and hurriedly went to report to Ma Teng.

"My lord, Yan Xing is calling for battle outside, naming names and surnames, and wants to fight to the death with the eldest son!" The soldiers reported to Ma Tengbing.

The eldest son is Ma Chao, Ma Chao is Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu are under him, and Ma Dai is Ma Chao's younger brother.

Ma Teng's face darkened: "Yan Xing is back? Isn't that Pang De?"

"Father, don't worry about it anymore, let's watch the boy go and kill Yan Xing to avenge brother Pang Pang!" His Highness, a heroic voice sounded.
