"General, you're welcome. Why do we have a common enemy in Yang Ling?"
Qubei laughed and said.
"You are right, Yang Ling is our common enemy!"
Han Sui nodded, then seemed to think of something and said with some confusion,
"By the way, why don't you see Huchuquan Shanyu?"
There was something strange in Qubei's eyes, but on the surface he smiled calmly,
"The great Chanyu doll is feeling cold and has been feeling unwell recently, so he was unable to come."
"But don't worry, general. Lord Shanyu ordered me to bring 30,000 clan members to help in the battle. Everything will be obeyed by the general!"
Hearing this, Han Sui immediately laughed from ear to ear.
It's useless no matter how much nonsense you talk, the Huns' army is the real deal!
Even though Han Sui had an army of 120,000, only the troops of Liangzhou warlords such as him and Song Jian could be considered elite.
Tribes such as the Qiang and Di, although they are fierce and aggressive, are still in the state of clan tribes and have low productivity.
It's okay to fight with the wind going smoothly, but once you encounter a tough situation, you can't count on them.
The Huns were different.
They are a people who grew up on horses. They are skilled in bow and horse and have amazing fighting power.
With them coming to help, Han Sui was a little more confident about defeating Yang Ling!
Thinking of this, Han Sui smiled enthusiastically and said,
"King Youxian, please take a seat quickly. I have to rely on you to face Yang Ling this time!"
"That's easy to say!"
Go humble and sit down with a smile!
As the Huns joined in, the rebel leaders in the hall gained a little more confidence.
"In your opinion, how should we deal with Yang Ling next?"
Han Sui looked around at everyone present and asked slowly.
"Yang Ling has always been full of tricks. We should stick to Ji County to resist his troops."
Cheng Gongying said.
"The military advisor's words are wrong!"
Cheng Yin on the side shook his head,
"Youdao means defeating ten groups with one force. We have an army of 150,000 people. No matter how smart he is, he will never be our opponent head-on."
"Having said that, in the previous battles, we also had the advantage in strength. What was the result?"
Cheng Gongying retorted.
Listening to the debate between the two, Han Sui looked a little hesitant.
Qubei caught his expression in his eyes, his heart moved, and he smiled and said,
"General, I have something to say."
"King Youxian just says so."
"Although Ji County is the seat of government, the city is not large and cannot accommodate an army of 150,000."
Go humble and say slowly,
"And if we hold on to the city, our Huns cavalry will not be able to take advantage."
Han Sui nodded slightly, expressing his agreement with Qubei's words.
Liangzhou's administrative seat was not originally located in Hebei County. It was only settled here a few years ago, so the city is not very tall.
If they really defended the city, Han Sui's army would not be able to spread out at all, and the Huns' cavalry would be useless.
"Yangling only has 40,000 to 50,000 people. If we stick to Ji County, wouldn't it mean that the world would laugh at our cowardice and be frightened by Yang Ling?"
Qubei deliberately used aggressive tactics to provoke Han Sui and others.
You must know that everyone present was born in Liangzhou, a place with strong folk customs, and they are inherently aggressive by nature.
After hearing what he said, everyone suddenly became angry.
"King Youxian is right, we can't hide in the city!"
"General, we have the advantage in strength, why should we be afraid of Yang Ling?"
Han Sui seemed to have made up his mind, nodded heavily and said,
"What King Youxian said makes sense, let's go out of the city to fight Yang Ling!"
Everyone roared in response.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Gongying sighed helplessly, with a wry smile on his face.
Yan Xing on the side comforted him,
"Military advisor, don't worry. Our troops and horses are several times that of Yang Ling, so why should we be afraid?"
Cheng Gongying originally wanted to use Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others as examples to Yan Xing to prove Yang Ling's terror.
But then he thought, now that Han Sui had made up his mind, why should he waste more words to shake the morale of the army?
Perhaps as Yan Xing said, our side has an absolute advantage in military strength, so there is no need to worry so much!
…
Although he had strong soldiers and horses, Han Sui was not careless.
He led the army to leave Ji County in advance and came to a plain.
This plain is flat and empty, without any obstacles.
Han Sui chose this place as the battlefield to avoid Yang Ling's conspiracy.
In addition, this place is only ten miles away from Ji County.
If something unexpected happens, we can evacuate to Hebei County in time.
What a genius I am!
Han Sui couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
At this moment, Cheng Yin said,
"General, Cao Jun is here!"
Han Sui and others felt trembling and looked up.
I saw at the end of the plain ahead, a group of soldiers and horses holding high the battle flag with the word "Cao", heading this way rapidly!
When they were about five hundred steps away, they quickly stopped and began to form a formation!
In just a cup of tea, Cao Jun had already taken up his stance.
Looking at Cao's army with clear flags, guns and knives, and order and authority on the opposite side, Han Sui couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.
This Cao army is so elite, no wonder Yang Ling is able to do everything against him!
He turned his head and glanced at the soldiers and horses behind him, which were several times the size of Cao's army, and then he calmed down again.
After both sides set up their positions, as usual, they should have yelled and cursed for a while.
Han Sui winked at Yan Xing and motioned for him to step forward and call for formation.
Yan Xing nodded knowingly, rode forward and left.
Seeing this, Yang Ling nodded towards Ma Chao.
Ma Chao also pinched the horse's belly and rushed out of the formation.
Yan Xing was immediately happy when he saw Ma Chao, an old acquaintance who was almost killed by him back then.
"I didn't expect you would dare to come to see me, Ma'er, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Ma Chao just glanced at him and said nothing.
"Why, are you afraid of me and don't dare to speak?"
Yan Xing sneered.
"Have you ever seen anyone talk to a dead body?"
Ma Chao sneered.
Yan Xing was stunned for a moment and realized instantly that Ma Chao was mocking him.
"I didn't expect you to become so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued after you went to the Central Plains. I just don't know if your skills have improved!"
Yan Xing didn't waste any time, raised his spear and stabbed Ma Chao!
Ma Chao held up his spear and leaped on his horse, fighting Yan Xing to the same place!
When the two of them fought, Ma Chao was still young and his martial arts had not yet reached its peak.
After so many years of training, plus the fact that he and Yang Ling often competed with Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others, his martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds!
But after a few rounds, Yan Xing was already at a disadvantage!
I haven’t seen him for a few years, but this guy’s martial arts is so superb!
Yan Xing was secretly terrified!
He knew that he was no match for Ma Chao. If he continued to fight, he would probably die at the hands of Ma Chao!
At this moment, the spear in Ma Chao's hand suddenly swept sideways!
Yan Xing was shocked and hurriedly ducked.
