Volume Three Chapter 2 The Jushui River Valley
Ma Teng's forces are southeast of Xiliang, including Wudu, Tianshui and other counties.
It is somewhat different from history, because in history, Ma Teng has not been crowned king, and his relationship with Li and Guo is also sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Now that Ma Teng has been named King of Tianshui, his sphere of influence has been discussed with the two thieves of Li Guo and Han Sui, he will naturally not invade others at any time. Of course, if Liu Xie is still as cowardly as Liu Zhang, Ma Han and Han have already started a big battle.
Unfortunately, Liu Xie put too much pressure on them. As Li and Guo said, Liu Xie was waiting for them to fight!
Now, if they can't fight, he will send troops by himself!
Liu Xie had no choice but to do this. He really hoped that Ma Teng and Han Sui would fight to the death, and then he ran out and ended with a perfect ending.
However, these two guys didn't give him a chance! Since that was the case, he naturally didn't wait. He was fighting Ma Teng and Han Sui, on the one hand, was training troops, and on the other hand, he didn't want his "cavalry advantage" and the secret weapons he prepared to be discovered by Xiliang.
There are too many spies who want to sneak into the general camp. Every day, many people are secretly arrested and killed. Some are certain, while others are just suspicious. Of course, even if they are suspicious, Liu Xie would rather kill the wrong one than let it go, as long as his identity is not very important.
Faced with such pressure, he naturally did not want to wait any longer. If he waited any longer, who would know what kind of demon moth would appear?
And this is also an opportunity that is not an opportunity, because Ma Han just turned against him. Even if he cooperated because of him, he would never be as close as before in a short period of time. And this is Liu Xie's opportunity.
While going to the war, Liu Xie sent a spy to send a letter to Han Sui. Of course, this letter was destined to be intercepted by Ma Teng. In this way, although Ma Teng cooperated with Han Sui, he did not dare to believe in Han Sui. It is true and false, and people cannot grasp the truth. This is Liu Xie's purpose.
The Chencang Road starts from Mianyang, Hanzhong, passes through the Jushui Road, and reaches Hechi. Then to the ancient road, to Sanguan, and then to Chencang.
Of course, Liu Xie's eyes were not Chen Cang, but Jushui, and then went to Hechi, and then directly occupied Xiabian.
There are seven counties in Wudu County, and the county is in Xiabian. The seven counties are Xiabian, Hechi, Gudao, Juxian, Shanglu, Wuduo, and Qiangdao.
Into Wudu County was equivalent to tearing open the gateway to southern Xiliang, which was quite important to Liu Xie.
Liu Xie sent troops this time. The troops of the three armies were almost the same. Anyone would think that Liu Xie's target was Xiliang, Ma and Han. Who told him to directly overwhelm the 50,000 army on these two people! Of course, compared with the tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu cavalry in Xiliang, Liu Xie's military strength was a little too different.
But even though the troops were quite different, Ma Han and Han did not dare to underestimate the young emperor Liu Xie. Because Pang and Zhao underestimate him, they were killed by him in less than half a month. Zhang Lu from Hanzhong underestimated him and now he can only squat on Mount Emei to preach.
When Liu Xie led his army from Chengdu and then went out of Mianyang, the war was already spreading over Wudu County.
Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, led 30,000 cavalry to camp in Jushui River Valley, waiting for Liu Xie's arrival. In other words, Ma Chao was preparing to give Liu Xie a head-on blow in Jushui River Valley, so that Liu Xie could feel the power of the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry.
Liu Xie could naturally imagine how much Ma Tengjun wanted to teach Liu Xie a painful lesson. Therefore...
...
Jushui, known as Jishui in ancient times, was the birthplace of Yanhuang culture.
The scout replied, "Your Majesty, the Xiliang Ma Teng Army set up a military camp in the middle of the Jushui River Valley. It blocked our army's way, less than thirty miles away! The Xiliang army had nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, the main general was Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and the deputy general was Ma Dai, the nephew of Ma Teng. In addition, the Pang De whom Your Majesty asked us to pay attention to was also in the army..."
"Good guy, it seems that Ma Teng is really ready to fight his best!" Liu Xie laughed and said, "Fengxiao, what do you think?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "The horse is sexually manic. Your Majesty can send Zhang Sanheizi to pick the formation and lure him to attack him!"
Indeed, Ma Chao's personality was a bit impulsive and warlike, but with the 30,000 cavalry he led, if he fought against the Han army head-on and defeated the Han army, it could almost be said to be a waste of power. This is also the reason why Ma Chao dared to set up a military camp in the valley. I believe that there were also Xiliang troops ambushing on the mountains on both sides of the valley.
Although the river valley is wide, it does not require 30,000 troops to be stationed at all. Then half of these 30,000 troops will definitely be buried in the mountains and wait for Liu Xiejun to fall into the trap. This can be guessed without any brains. Although Ma Chao is impulsive, he will definitely not be stupid.
Moreover, Ma Chao also has stable personality Pang De and Ma Dai! Although Ma Dai is younger than Ma Chao and not as strong as Ma Chao, his personality is much better than Ma Chao, and he is definitely a good candidate to defend the city.
Liu Xie is sure that when Zhang Fei goes to provoke, Ma Chao will definitely go out to fight and will definitely lead the army to pursue, but Ma Dai and Pang De may not be sure.
"Yide, how about it? Let you go and defeat!" Liu Xie looked at Zhang Fei and said with a smile.
Zhang Fei had a dark face, and although he looked reluctant, he still agreed. But at this time, Taishi Ci said: "Your Majesty, this seems inappropriate. It is no problem to let Zhang Heizi challenge Ma Chao, but everyone knows Zhang Heizi's personality. How could he be willing to admit defeat in Ma'er?"
Guo Jia put away the folding fan (the weather is so cold, and he even pretended to be/pillow), knocked on the forehead, "It was Jia who was not very thoughtful, but he didn't expect to make such common sense mistakes. It's really unforgivable! In this way, Your Majesty, the most suitable candidate for this person should be General Han Sheng!"
Liu Xie smiled and looked at Guo Jia, and understood in his heart that Guo Jia actually underestimated Ma Chao, because there was no military advisor who could show off. Ma Tengjun's combat style has always been head-on, and he did not have many strategies like Liu Xie and the others.
In fact, the combat style of cavalry is basically fast and slow, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and it does not require too many strategies.
"Your Majesty, I will go there!" A bright light shot out from Huang Zhong's eyes.
Huang Zhong also heard about how powerful Ma Chao is. He had fought with Zhang Fei and knew that Zhang Fei was stronger than him in cavalry battles. Of course, this is because Zhang Fei's black guy is too powerful, and the two of them are equal in strength. He has no way to fight head-on, if he doesn't use a bow and arrow.
How could Huang Zhong not want to meet Zhang Fei if he can compete with him?
Liu Xie nodded and said, "That's good, it's time for Feiyu Army's cavalry and shooting camp to take it out to see the world. Ziyi, let's go with General Han Sheng! You should also know how to play cavalry and shooting! Also, if something goes wrong, remember to take it back the saddle and kickstick!"
"The last general understands! Your Majesty, then the last general will go!"
The saddle and the stirrup were one of the secret weapons that Liu Xie had prepared to deal with the Qiang and Hu Iron Cavalry. If this thing was transmitted to Xiliang now, it would be a disaster for him. But now that he was thinking about Kaizhou with Xiliang, this thing had to be used.
Seeing Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong leading two thousand archers and two thousand archers set off, Liu Xie looked at Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, it depends on you next!"
Guo Jia shook the folding fan, seemed to feel a little cold, and put it away again, knocked on his hands and said, "Don't worry, your Majesty, Jia will not underestimate any opponent again!"
The little mistake just now made Guo Jia feel a little ashamed, but he did not blame Taishi Ci, because what Taishi Ci said was not unreasonable. Zhang Fei is not wrong with being a warlike guy, but because he is wary, how could he take the initiative to admit defeat?
"This is the best!" Liu Xie chuckled, turned around and looked at Jiang Li, who was following behind him, cold and expressionless.
Yes, this woman who is probably Mrs. Zhurong in history also went on a war.
...
Jushui River Valley, Ma Chao’s military camp.
Ma Chao was sitting in the camp drinking a little wine, and Ma Dai and Pang De were also sitting with him, but the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
On weekdays, this kind of atmosphere rarely appears because before Liu Xie, Ma Chao had never encountered such a tough opponent. He was able to gain a great reputation in Xiliang and was called General Shentianwei by many Qiang people because of his impressive record.
Even if there was a Yan Xing in Han Sui's army who could compete with him, he still could not stop his reputation.
But before his battle with Zhang Fei in Hanzhong made him realize that Liu Xie had many capable people. Although Liu Xie's army did not have many cavalry, this does not mean that they could not deal with the cavalry. Therefore, Ma Chao was much more cautious this time than last time.
Ma Chao was silent, Ma Dai and Pang De didn't say anything. In fact, they were not very optimistic about being an enemy with Liu Xie. However, since Ma Teng and Li Guo formed an alliance, this hostile relationship had long been doomed.
"Okay! Let's cheer up! Although Emperor Xiaoxian has many capable people, our cavalry is not a vegetarian! It's good if he doesn't come. If he really dares to stroke our tiger beards, then we will let him never come back!" Ma Chao took a sip of wine and said loudly. I don't know whether to cheer him up or cheer him up the two people next to him.
Pang De glanced at Ma Chao and said, "Then Emperor Xiaoxian knew that our cavalry was powerful and would definitely not face us head-on. In this way, we need to be careful of their tricks. The strength of the young army leader, De is not worried. What De is worried about is that the young army leader is in aroused..."
Ma Chao glanced at Pang De and wanted to ask him, is it so easy for me to fall into other people's tricks? Do you think I am a fool?
Ma Dai coughed and said, "Die Dai knows the eldest brother's temperament very well. I believe that he understands it too. Therefore, Dai is a little worried. Once the eldest brother becomes impulsive, he will ignore it! I believe that the other party also knows the eldest brother's personality, and will definitely target this point and use tricks on the eldest brother!"
Ma Chao nodded. He could hear some of Ma Dai's words.
At this moment, drums suddenly came from outside, and at the same time, a soldier rushed in, "Young Army Master, the enemy came to call the enemy, and asked the Young Army Master to fight!"
