"What? What did you say?" Han Sui stood up from his seat and asked in surprise and angrily. At this moment, his usual calmness had disappeared, and his elegant face was even a bit hideous and distorted.

Cheng Yi, Li Kan and other generals of Xiliang also looked shocked, and they focused their eyes on the soldier kneeling in the hall.

"Qi reported to the lord, Ma Dai sneaked back to Xiliang and colluded with the Qiang tribe to cause rebellion.

Cheng Taishou ordered the villain to arrive in Yuzhou and report this matter to the lord..." The soldiers of Chuanxin, covered in dust and looked tired, took out a personal collection of treasures from their arms and raised them high, "This is the emergency document of Cheng Taishou, please check it out!"

Han Sui walked to the hall a few steps, took the brocade bag, took out the silk book in his inner place, and quickly browsed it. In a moment, his face had already turned ashen.

Perhaps because time is too urgent, Cheng Gongying's urgent book only has a few hundred words, but the content is enough to make Han Sui feel as cold as ice.

In the letter, Cheng Gongying told Han Sui with great certainty that Ma Dai had returned to Xiliang and used the Qiang people to form a cavalry with a size of no less than 10,000 people.

The Qiang tribe in Western Xinjiang is now extremely unstable, and Cheng Gongying even suspected that he had a marriage relationship with Han Sui had turned against him.

Because Ma Dai used Han Su to open the gate of Jincheng. The day before, Han Su happened to be sent to the Gray Yacht Tribe in the name of "capturing Ma Dai". All this was too coincidental!

At the end of the letter, Cheng Gongying said pessimistically that he could no longer defend Jincheng, and advised Han Sui that he must return as soon as possible, otherwise Xiliang would be out of protection.

Ma Dai sneaked back to Xiliang——Ma Dai has won the support of the Qiang people and has pulled up a large army——Han Su may have fallen into Ma Dai’s hands————Jincheng may have been lost!

No matter which of the things mentioned in Cheng Gongying’s letter is enough to be shocking, let alone together.

With Han Sui's scheming like a fox and wolf, he could not accept these shocking news that could only be described as horrifying.

"Lord. Lord..." Cheng Yi and others saw Han Sui's face full of dust and asked with concern, "How is Xiliang?"

Although he knew that the contents of the emergency document would likely cause chaos in the military, Han Sui was already in a difficult situation. If no one else was present, Han Sui could still conceal the truth and only revealed some information that would not shake the military morale too much. However, unfortunately, there were more than ten generals present.

If you deliberately hide something now, it will easily lead to suspicion and thus cause greater shaking and chaos.

After silently handing the silk book to Cheng Yi, Han Suiqiang calmed himself and his mind quickly turned.

The Xiliang generals who gathered together quickly read the silk book. Without exception, everyone's expression became extremely shocked.

"How could Ma Dai sneak into Xiliang? A month and a half ago, this bastard was still in Runan.

From Runan to Xiliang, there were thousands of miles apart, and the road was all under the control of Cao Cao. How could he take people through Sili and Yongzhou? Could it be that he could fly over?" Cheng Yin couldn't accept such a fact and questioned loudly.

"Impossible, impossible! It must be that this document is fake..."

After saying that, Cheng Yin strode to the soldier and grabbed his lichen collar. He asked sternly: "Say, is that bastard Zhang Fei asking you to make trouble..."

"Boji, let him go..." Han Sui frowned, waved his hand, and signaled Cheng Yin to calm down, "This letter was written by Shichu (Cheng Gongying)..."

Cheng Yin helplessly let go of the other party's clothes and slowly returned to his position.

"Master, what should I do?" Li Kan said to Han Sui anxiously. Although these Xiliang generals were brave in fighting, they were not very good at thinking about things. At this moment, everyone was anxious and panicked, but they couldn't think of any countermeasures.

Han Sui himself was also unable to decide. He was worried about his only son who had no idea of ​​good fortune (Han Sui always had two sons, his eldest son had died in battle, and only his second son Han Su was left), and he was also puzzled how Ma Dai sneaked back to Xiliang.

And in such a short time, such a big storm was caused. At this moment, Han Sui's regret of going south to assist Cao Cao added countless points to the 30,000 cavalry that went south to the south were only one-third more.

Now even the foundation is almost cut off.

The more anxious he felt in his heart, the more chaotic his thoughts became. In desperation, Han Sui asked Cheng Yi, who had the most calm personality, and said, "Wen Feng, what do you think?"

"Lord, I'm thinking..." Cheng Yi frowned, "Was Ma Dai really still in Runan during the battle of Wu Fang?"

"Wen Feng means that Ma Dai had left Runan before the Battle of Wufang and sneaked to Xiliang?" After hearing Cheng Yi's words, Han Sui's mind suddenly flashed. When Cao, Han and Zhang were fighting fiercely in Wufang that day, because the battle situation was quite chaotic, no one paid attention to whether Ma Dai participated in the war. Han Sui himself did not personally experience the front line, so naturally he would not have thought of this.

"It's very likely!" Cheng Yi nodded heavily, "Just as Bo Ji said, from Runan to Xiliang, the places you have to pass through are mostly under Cao Cao's control.

Ma Dai could not walk the avenue, so he could only walk some small roads with few people and mountain roads, and it would take at least 20 days to reach Xiliang. In addition, it would take time to win over the Qiang people, design the young master, and seek Jincheng. If Wu Fang had set out after the battle, it would definitely be too late.

”

Han Sui gradually regained some peace and his thoughts became active: "In this way, Ma Dai would definitely not bring many people when he sneaked back to Xiliang. Then his more than 10,000 cavalry could only be pulled up after he arrived in Xiliang."

After slamming the table, Han Sui said angrily: "Those hateful Qiang dogs!"

Until now, Han Sui discovered the root cause of his hatred and fear of the Ma family - the Qiang people who were concerned about the stability of Xiliang were closely related to the Ma family. If Xiliang changes, the Qiang people most likely chose to support the Ma family.

After driving the Ma family's forces out of Xiliang, Han Sui spent more than six years to win over the Qiang people and thought that the effect was good. However, as soon as Ma Dai returned to Xiliang, he completely destroyed Han Sui's six years of efforts.

"Lord, the matter is urgent. We can't stay in the Central Plains any longer. If there is no lord in charge, the overall situation in Xiliang will be in danger!" Cheng Yi said anxiously.

"Transfer an order to rectify the army immediately and prepare to return!" Han Sui also knew that he could not delay, so he immediately ordered and then warned the generals coldly, "The content of the discussion here must not be spread. For the soldiers below, the war in the Central Plains is just said.

If I find that the news is leaked, I will definitely be punished strictly!”

"No!" More than a dozen generals stood up at the same time to agree.

"Wenfeng, you immediately rushed to Xuchang with my letter and told Cao Cao about the matter of Xiliang in Ming and our army's return!" The other generals left the hall one after another, and Han then left Cheng Yi alone, and delivered a letter to him as quickly as possible, and ordered carefully, "As soon as you enter Xuchang.

Just ask to see Cao Cao directly. This matter must not be publicized to the outside world.”

"promise!"

After Cheng Yi left, Han Sui shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Come here, I will spread my local words and invite Lord Jia Xu to come to the mansion to discuss matters!"

.

Xu Chang

After hearing the news about Xun Yu’s incident about the Western Liang, even Cao Cao was stunned.

"Wen Ruo. How credible is this matter?" After thinking for a while, Cao Cao said in contemplation.

"It should be true!" Xun Yu said in a deep voice, "If it is fabricated, Yu would admire Han Sui's excuse. Since the Prime Minister had agreed to his request to return, Han Sui had no reason to lie again.

Moreover, I just got the news from Linying that the Xiliang Army has begun to reorganize the army!"

"Take off the firewood from the cauldron!!!" Cao Cao said with a complicated look and sighed, "Zhang Fei, this guy, dares to take such a risky strategy.

He was so sure that Ma Dai could sneak back to Xiliang without knowing it? He believed that Ma Dai would not betray Liu Bei and become independent? He believed that Ma Dai could take Xiliang?"

"This plan is indeed extremely risky, but judging from the current situation, Zhang Fei still succeeded!" Xun Yu nodded slowly and said.

The plan to remove firewood from the cauldron that sent Ma Dai back to Xiliang is successful. The effect is quite amazing: first, it will cut off Han Sui's retreat, then break Cao Cao's strong support all the way, and make the originally safe Western Xinjiang a huge threat to Cao Cao's land again.

What's even more, when the Jingzhou army had captured Nanyang, Ma Dai occupied Xiliang again, as if he had inserted two sharp knives into Cao Cao's waist.

As long as the conditions are ripe, Liu Bei can send troops from Xiliang and Nanyang at the same time to form a joint attack on Yong and Si prefectures. Once the two troops successfully meet.

The prefectures and counties under Cao Cao will be cut into two parts—One side is Ji, You, Yu, Yan, Qingzhou, and the other side is Yong and Si prefectures plus Hanzhong. The divided Yong and Si prefectures and Hanzhong are simply impossible to withstand the encroachment of Liu Bei's army.

It can be said that this strategy to remove firewood from the cauldron is not only a plan to attack Han Sui's family, but also a disaster for Cao Cao's side.

However, the risk of this plan is extremely high, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"The soldiers have no constant momentum, and the water has no constant shape. Those who can win due to the changes of the enemy are called gods!" After reading a passage from "The Art of War. The Void and Real Chapter", Cao Cao sighed softly, "The soldiers have no constant momentum, and they are sometimes stable and sometimes strange. Zhang Fei is deeply aware of the magic of using troops.

I thought he was just playing the trick of fighting the world between Yingchuan and Liangjun, but who would have thought that he had used the trick of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot?

If there is such an arm to help me work together, even if Liu Bei has a million soldiers, how can he be afraid?"

With a long sigh, Cao Cao closed his eyes slightly, his face full of regret.

"The soldiers are inconsistent... the winner is called the god..." After savoring these words from Cao Cao, Xun Yu subconsciously said, "The God of War..."

"Military God?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and whispered.

"Prime Minister, how should Han Sui answer his request for return?" Hearing Cao Cao's remarks, Xun Yu immediately came to his senses and changed the topic.

"Xiliang cannot make any mistakes. Even if Han Sui and Ma Dai make Xiliang a ruin, it is better than Ma Dai to monopolize it." Cao Cao said in a deep voice, "Let Han Sui go back, and the faster the better."

"Na Yu will make arrangements now!"

"Wen Ruo, arrange a detailed plan to speed up the investigation into the situation in Xiliang!"

"Yu understands!"

After Xun Yu left, Cao Cao sat leaning against the couch, looking up at the roof, his eyes stagnated for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "What is the God of War..."

…………………………………………………………….

Jingzhou, Wuling County, west of Yuanshui

The camp of the barbarian army in the south

"I was actually blocked by a mere Yuanshui for ten days. Are you worthy of being the descendants of the God of Heaven (the god believed by the barbarians)?" Meng Huo, the great leader of the Southern Central Barbarian tribe, scolded the leaders of the caves in the mainland with a stern voice and expression.

Meng Huo has a leopard head and a tiger's eyes, and is extremely burly and has a unique and attractive power.

When the young Meng Huo was scolded like this, the leaders of the cave were blushed and their heads were drooping. Although no one dared to refute in person, they felt a lot of resentment in their hearts.

In fact, a considerable number of the leaders of the cave had no intention of attacking Jingnan, but were forced to send troops under the pressure of Meng Huo. They were not interested in establishing a "barbarian country".

Unlike Meng Huo, they only hope to be their leader on their own acres of land.

Although the other part of the cave leaders agreed with Meng Huo's ambition to establish a country and sent troops to plunder the Han people in Jingzhou, their ideas also changed when the attack was severely blocked and thousands of warriors became the souls of the Yuanshui River.

Perhaps Lu Xun's troops were far inferior to those of the Southern Central Barbarians, but this did not include the navy.

Although among the four giants of the Jinfan Navy, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and Ding Feng were all in Qing and Xu battlefields, Ling Cao had been killed, the Jinfan Navy led by Zhang De, the captain of the Jishui Shui, is definitely not comparable to the barbarian army.

The plum rain three months ago (the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River was around April) caused a surge in the river, but it has not completely receded yet, creating good conditions for the Jinfan Navy to block the enemy.

The attack in the front was unfavorable, but the rear was harassed by Lu Meng like a maggot attached to the bone, which made Meng Huo's temper become increasingly irritable.

Meng Huo was unable to vent his anger on the enemy, so the leaders of the caves of each tribe became victims, and three leaders were killed by Meng Huo because they raised objections.

On the surface, Meng Huo seemed to have calmed down the situation, but dissatisfaction and contradictions within the barbarian army in the South Central China were constantly brewing.

.

"This is a coalition, not a single army of Meng Huo. The success of the coalition is either due to deterrence or temptation. If the war is smooth, it will be fine; if the war is not smooth, chaos will inevitably arise within the coalition.

At that time, as long as there is a little external force, it may collapse completely! This is the biggest weakness of the Southern Barbarian Army!" Faced with a confusing inquiry by the captain Lang Wu, Lu Xun replied with a faint smile, "The navy blocks the enemy and the surprise attacks the side and rear of the enemy, in order to intensify its internal conflicts.

Now that the time is ripe, our army is just here to act as the external force that prompted the collapse of the barbarian army.

As for why the barbarian army was attacking the Yuanshui River, the reason was very simple———”

Still with that gentle smile, Lu Xun looked into the distance and said softly: "I want to use this battle to make the Southern Central Barbarians unable to raise their heads for ten years."
