Cheng Yu sent troops to provoke Ma Chao.
That night.
Dian Wei's plan to send troops was in progress step by step. Cheng Yu counted the time and when the time was right, he led the remaining 1,500 people to provoke Ma Chao's camp.
As long as Dian Wei can lure Wei Yan and Li Tongjun out, he will be 100% sure to lure Ma Chao out.
The next night, Cheng Yu led his army to Ma Chao's camp and lurked ten miles away. The distance between Wei Yan and Li Tong's army was a little further than that of Ma Chao. Calculated in time, both sides entered the bunker at almost the same time. Now they only need to wait for Wei Yan and the others to send troops.
Wei Yan and Li Tong chose to send troops.
Since entering Xiliang, the two of them have almost lost Sujiashan without making any merits. They have already written a petition to plead guilty, and will plead guilty after the battle is over, but before petitioning for guilt, they want to make meritorious deeds.
Dian Wei is Cao Cao's favorite general.
As long as Dian Wei is captured alive or beheaded, they can be punished and make meritorious service.
That night.
The two organized each battalion to have 10,000 troops. When the crowd was quiet late at night, the lights in Dianwei's army were extinguished, and the soldiers rested, they led the army to fight out from the bunker. The two places were only five miles apart, and the enemy had not yet reacted. At that time, they fought outside the camp.
It was just as they expected.
The enemy camp was defenseless.
The soldiers wrapped themselves in clothes and slept. After Wei Yan and Li Tong entered the enemy camp, everyone was still immersed in sleep. The two were overjoyed and rushed toward Dian Wei's Chinese army tent.
Suddenly, there were screams inside and outside the Dianwei army camp, flames shot into the sky, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled throughout the valley.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside, Dian Wei raised the corners of his lips in a naive and cold manner and smiled.
He had been waiting for them for a long time.
Cheng Yu's plan is advancing steadily and there are no omissions left. After the other party entered the military stronghold, he immediately pretended to be panicked, hung his armor sideways, carried his two swords, and fled out of the tent.
When Wei Yan and Li Tong saw Dian Wei running out in embarrassment, their eyes shone like hungry wolves seeing their prey, and they immediately rode to kill him.
Dian Wei hurriedly mounted his horse and fled towards the fortress behind with his three hundred guards. How could Wei Yan and Li Tong miss such a great opportunity? Leading the army followed closely.
the other side.
After Cheng Yu learned the exact news that Wei Yan and Li Tong were sending troops, he was overjoyed and breathed a long sigh of relief. He immediately ordered his soldiers to hold up torches and kill towards Ma Chao's camp, shouting loudly all the way, lest Ma Chao didn't know.
Sure enough, when he heard that the enemy was attacking the camp, Ma Chao hurriedly stood up, put on his armor, and led his army to fight out. The two armies were a hundred steps apart and looked at each other. Both sides raised torches and lit up the valley.
Cheng Yu knew how to anger Ma Chao quickly and effectively, so he stepped forward and said, "Ma Chao, son, do you recognize me, Cheng Yu?"
Ma Chao glared at Cheng Yu in the light of the fire and pointed with his whip: "Are you Cheng Yu?"
Cheng Yu sneered: "How is your father?"
"ah--!"
Ma Chao shouted angrily: "Cheng Yu, you bullied me too much. My Ma family has never treated you badly. I didn't expect you to repay kindness with hatred. You ruthless and unjust beast, I will kill you!"
Then he roared angrily: "All soldiers in the army, follow me to kill the enemy!"
Then, he rushed over at the head of the pack, intent on killing him. Cheng Yu saw Ma Chao coming to kill him, how dare he fight against him? He immediately turned his horse's head and fled towards the bunker.
Ma Chao chased after him: "Cheng Yu, don't leave, I will shoot you!"
Pound, Matthew and others will follow.
Soon, Cheng Yu led his troops and fled back to the bunker. The door of the bunker was wide open, showing that it was too late to close the door. At this time, Dian Wei on the opposite side also fled back in a hurry, without closing the bunker door.
Wei Yan and Li Tong led the army and rushed into the bunker almost at the same time as Ma Chao. Except for the faint light of fire, nothing else could be seen in the bunker. Only individual figures could be seen vaguely, and the local generals could not be seen clearly.
After Cheng Yu and Dian Wei entered the bunker, they immediately escaped through a small door that had been opened long ago, leaving the battlefield to them.
After Ma Chao rushed into the bunker, he rushed towards the innermost part of the bunker. Sure enough, he saw a group of people rushing from the opposite side. At this moment, Ma Chao's hatred was ignited, and he led his troops to kill them with a roar.
Wei Yan and Li Tong were eager to achieve their goals and entered the enemy's fortress. How could they leave easily? The two men charged in with their horses and swords.
In an instant, the two sides fought together.
The sound of killing resounded throughout the entire bunker, and the generals on both sides killed bravely and passionately. The tents and dry firewood in the bunker were all set alight, with flames reaching into the sky and thick smoke filling the air.
Half an hour after the battle.
Wei Yan first felt something was wrong. Why didn't he see Dian Wei after fighting for a long time? Li Tong also realized something was wrong and immediately ordered his men to stop fighting.
But Ma Chao went crazy and his eyes were red.
He roared angrily: "Kill me! Tonight I will kill Cheng Yu to avenge Aweng!"
Ma Chao's voice woke up Wei Yan and Li Tong. This voice was very familiar to them. Who could it be if it wasn't Ma Chao, the leader of Huben Camp?
Wei Yan shouted: "Are the horses from the Huben Camp and the Chao Ma Qiying Camp on the other side?"
Ma Chao was stunned. This voice was a bit familiar to him, and he immediately asked: "Who are you?"
When Wei Yan and Li Tong heard this, they were shocked and shouted: "Stop fighting and gather all the troops from all sides. I am Wei Yan of the Qinglong Cavalry Camp."
Ma Chao was also shocked and immediately ordered his men to stop fighting. Soldiers from both sides raised their torches to illuminate the bunker and recognized each other. They were indeed one of their own.
Wei Yan shouted angrily: "We have fallen into Cheng Yu's plan again! Alas! This time I have lost my troops and generals, how can I face the Lord?"
Li Tong also lowered his head in shame.
Ma Chao blamed himself and said: "Two generals, I felt hatred because of Aweng's death, but was exploited by the old thief Cheng Yu, so I suffered this loss. Chao is willing to bear all the responsibilities."
Li Tong said: "The Maqi camp does not have to be like this. Wei Qiying and I were also eager to make contributions, which led to this defeat. We should rectify our troops and horses now to prevent Cheng Yu from sneak attacks. Maqi camp, we will join forces to defend Sujiashan." The west city has been destroyed, the Lord is transporting grain and grass, we still need to hold on here."
Ma Chao nodded, organized his troops, and evacuated the bunker.
On the top of a certain mountain.
Cheng Yu and Dian Wei stood on the top of the mountain and looked down.
Dian Wei said with some pity: "It's too bad that Han Sui ran too fast. If a large army were to kill him now, Zhang Xiu's army would be killed and they would lose their helmets and armor and be defeated thousands of miles away."
Cheng Yu smiled with relief: "Don't expect too much from him. If he has such a vision, he won't be able to curl up in Xiliang for the rest of his life."
The cold wind is biting.
Dian Wei grinned and asked: "Sir, you are sure that Zhang Xiu has taken away all the grain and grass in the west city. After the spring plowing, is it possible for Han Sui to leave Guanzhong eastward?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "It's up to me, not him, to send troops. As long as there are enough benefits, he can't help but send troops. Now Xiliang is Han Sui's world. The prime minister lacks war horses, and Xiliang's big horses are the best." With a good sales outlet, Zhang Xiu now faces not only Han Sui, but also the Huns in the north. He must find a way to make the Huns move and make Zhang Xiu busy."
Dian Wei said: "It's midwinter now, the northern grasslands are frozen, and the Huns may go south."
"Zhang Xiu has just eaten. The Huns are probably jealous. Let's go, instead of going to Jincheng, we will go to the Xiongnu tribe."
"Sir, are you going to the Hetao Plain?"
Cheng Yu nodded.
Today's Xiongnu are no longer as good as those of the past. After the Han Dynasty's strong suppression of the Xiongnu's westward migration, the remaining Xiongnu were later divided into northern and southern Xiongnu. The southern Xiongnu were the Xiongnu living in the Hetao area, with 50,000 households. There are hundreds of thousands of people and horses.
The current Xiongnu Chan is Huchuquan, the younger brother of Yurov.
Cheng Yu was ready to find him.
