Longxian, in the city.
Han Sui's general's house is still full of singing and dancing and enjoying himself. The Anti Japanese army is in Longguan, the front line of which is guarded by 30000 troops led by Ma Chao. With Ma Chao in Longguan, Han Sui thinks that even if Zhang Xiu raises 70000 troops, it is not easy to break the defense of Longguan.
What's more, Han Sui knows Ma Chao's hatred of Zhang Xiu.
There is a deep hatred between the two sides.
Under this premise, Ma Chao is unlikely to let Zhang Xiu enter.
This is the strength of Han Sui.
Han Sui looks at the dancing singer in the hall, and his heart is full of fierce anger. With a greedy look in his eyes, he immediately stood up and went to the singer. He reached for a singer and swam on her.
For a moment, the singer's body was soft, and her hand was around Han Sui's neck, as if hanging on Han Sui's body.
The singer is happy.
To be Han Sui's woman is to ascend to the sky.
"Step on it! Step on it
At this time, a rush of footsteps came.
But Zhuang Ze entered.
Zhuang Ze entered the hall with a serious look on his face and a wrinkled brow. As soon as he saw it, something big happened. When Han Sui was excited, he suddenly saw Zhuang Ze come in. When he saw Zhuang Ze again, he felt as if his pocket had been splashed with a basin of cold water.
He let go of the singer, waved his hand, and all the singers rushed away. Han then straightened his clothes, returned to the table and asked, "Sir, you look dignified. What happened?"
Zhuang Ze said: "I just got the news from the front line, but Longguan was lost."
"Ah
Han Sui hears speech exclaim.
Under his buttocks, as if he had been stabbed by a needle, he rubbed and stood up. With both hands on his back, he paced back and forth quickly. He said anxiously, "what's the matter? Longguan is easy to defend but hard to attack. What's the matter? How can it be broken suddenly?"
At this moment, Han Sui had no previous calmness.
Because it's a tough situation.
Longguan is the gateway of Liangzhou. If Longguan is in Liangzhou, Liangzhou is safe. Zhang Xiu can't easily enter Longguan. But now, Longguan lost, Zhang Xiu's army can drive straight in, directly to Longxian.
Zhuang Ze sighed and replied, "report back to my Lord. According to the information sent back by the sentinel, Zhang Xiu's army arrived outside Longguan. Ma Chao went out of the gate to fight with Zhang Xiu. He was beaten by Zhang Xiu. Even Ma Chao vomited blood as soon as he returned to the city."
"After Ma Chao's defeat, he took charge of Longguan."
"At that time, Zhang Xiu launched an attack. Less than an hour after the fighting, Ma Chao yelled and couldn't resist, so he took the army out. Now Ma Chao's army is rapidly withdrawing to Longxian county. "
Zhuang Ze said: "according to the Sentinel's estimation, in another three hours, Ma Chao's army will return to Longxian."
"Son of a bitch!"
When Han Sui heard this, he could not help clenching his fist and waving it in the air. He just felt that there was endless anger in his heart, which he could not suppress.
"Damn Ma Chao!"
"He only resisted one hour."
"Even if there are only 5000 elite soldiers, with the help of the geographical advantages of Longguan, Zhang Xiu can't break Longguan in one hour. Ma Chao, this is dereliction of duty, and he deliberately retreated. "
"Damn it, Ma Chao, damn it!"
Han then kept swearing, with a look of impatience.
He did so not only because his plan to weaken Ma Chao was broken, but also because he wanted to use Ma Chao's plan to weaken Zhang Xiu completely.
Zhang Xiu's 70000 troops passed through Longguan intact, which was extremely unfavorable to Han Sui.
Zhuang Ze continued: "judging from Ma Chao's action of directly retreating after an hour of fighting, Ma Chao must have seen through our intention of relying on strength. Of course, we can't blame Ma Chao, because Ma Chao went to Longguan and resisted Zhang Xiu. "
"If the Lord wants to question Ma Chao, he can say that he retreated because he couldn't stop it."
"Ma Chao will withdraw with the help of our strength and attack Zhang Xiu together. With the help of Ma Chao alone, Zhang Xiu's plan will definitely not work. "
Zhuang Ze said with emotion: "Ma Chao is very cunning."
Han Sui said: "but the strength of Zhang Xiu has not been weakened at all. Once Zhang Xiu's 70000 elite soldiers arrive in Longxian, it's not likely to win with the help of Longxian alone. "
Zhuang Ze replied: "during this period, there have been nearly two Qiang people who have come to serve the Lord. In addition to the Baima Qiang and shaodang Qiang, some other Qiang people from small tribes are scrambling to join in
"These people are afraid of being slaughtered by Zhang Xiu."
"Zhang Xiu was cruel to the Huns. He killed countless Xiongnu people constantly, which was very lethal. Under such circumstances, countless Qiang people believed that Zhang Xiu wanted to kill the Qiang people. "
Zhuang Ze said: "with the Qiang soldiers in, it's OK for us to guard Longxian county. If we want to win, we also have a certain chance."
"Good, good, good!"There was a smile on Han Sui's face, and finally there was some good news.
"Newspaper!"
Just then, a soldier came running in from outside the hall.
Han Sui said, "what's the matter?"
The soldier replied, "report back to the general, many Qiang soldiers in the army have left one after another."
Brush!
Han Sui's face changed greatly.
Just now, Han Sui was complacent about the gathering of Qiang people. In his heart, he thought that there were countless Qiang people under his command, and he had another fighting force. When the time came, he could use the Qiang people to weaken Zhang Xiu, and he would be able to benefit from it.
In the twinkling of an eye, the Qiang people left.
Han Sui clenched his teeth and asked urgently, "what's the matter?"
The soldier replied, "I don't know. When I came to report, I heard many Qiang people saying that Zhang Xiu didn't want to kill Qiang people. When Zhang Xiu arrived in Liangzhou, he wanted to be exempt from corvee and taxes, so that the Qiang people could have food and clothing. "
Han Sui's cheek puffed, and his face showed a dignified look.
Han Sui waved the soldiers back, looked at Zhuang Ze and said, "Sir, it's obvious that this is Zhang Xiu's trick. Zhang Xiu showed kindness to countless Qiang people, intending to win them over for their own use. At the worst, it can also destroy the fighting capacity of the Qiang people. Zhang Xiu is very cunning. How do you deal with it? "
Originally, Han Sui was ready to use Qiang people to deal with Zhang Xiu, but now it's different.
Zhuang Ze said: "since Zhang Xiu wants to compete with us, then we will fight each other. Zhang Xiu tempts Qiang people with interests, and we also incite them with interests. As long as the Qiang people help the Lord, they will be given the corresponding money. As long as there are enough interests, countless Qiang people will certainly come to help the Lord. "
"No!"
Han Sui shook his head and said categorically: "this case can't be opened!"
Zhuang Ze said, "why?"
Han Sui said: "if these Qiang people, like pigs and dogs, give them money now. With their greedy nature, they will certainly ask for more money and food. In such a situation, where can bear. For the time being, no matter who left. Use as many Qiang people as you have left behind. The rest, whatever. "
When Zhuang Ze heard the speech, he sighed in his heart. Han Sui said so, and he said no more.
Han Sui ordered: "you go and stare. As soon as Ma Chao comes back, he will report it immediately."
"Here it is
Zhuang Ze was ordered to step down.
