Chapter 169: The situation is bright and dark

It was raining heavily and the roads were muddy. Fortunately, it was moving on the flat road now, so although it was a bit muddy and difficult to walk, it was much better than being trapped in the valley.

Xue Bing hung the blood dragon halberd on the horse and wiped his face with his hand. The surface was already covered with rain, and even the armor on his body had already been wet.

I looked up at the sky and saw that the rain and water were connected into long lines and hang down from the sky, as if a curtain was hung in front, making it impossible for people to see clearly.

Wang Ping led the troops to run for a while in front of him, and finally had to slow down. After Xue Bing came up, he said, "General Xue, the rain is too heavy. Should I find a place to avoid it for a while?"

Xue Bing turned his head and looked at Wang Ping, then looked back at the soldiers who were marching hard in the heavy rain. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said to Wang Ping: "Not only can you stop, but you must also speed up your pace.

"After saying a few words, I felt a chill in my mouth, but it was rain that entered my mouth.

He paused, swallowed the cold rain, and then continued, "If it had rained heavily a few days earlier, we would have fallen into Ziwu Valley. Today, the heavy rain has fallen at this time, and it is the heaven that wants me to get Chang'an."

Wang Ping said: "How can the general explain this?"

Xue Bing wiped his face again, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The rain poured on his helmet and then turned into a water curtain in front of him. Most of them slid down his face.

Looking up at the sky, Xue Bing pointed at the dizzy sky with his fingers and said to Wang Ping: "It's raining heavily, and Cao's patrol team will inevitably hide from the rain everywhere. First, it will prevent our army from meeting Cao's patrol team on the road again.

Second, it can also make the other party know that a patrol unit was destroyed by our army. "

Wang Ping knew that Xue Bing was referring to the patrol team that was destroyed yesterday. Speaking of which, Xue Bing took the lead yesterday and rushed into Cao's army. Killing people was like cutting melons and cutting vegetables, and Zhao Yun rushed in after a while.

These two generals clashed in the Cao army formation, and no one could stop them. When the Cao soldiers saw their colleagues lying in front of the two men, they would never dare to resist and wanted to flee in all directions.

However, the troops led by Xue Bing and Zhao Yun had already surrounded him at this time, but the result was that no one of the two hundred Cao soldiers had been let go. Moreover, according to Xue Bing's intention, no one of them was left to live, and all of them were killed on the spot.

Then, Xue Bing commanded the soldiers to bury the two hundred Cao soldiers on the spot. Although this would delay some time, this would reduce the chance of these corpses being discovered a little. At the same time, Xue Bing also wanted to prevent plague.

Plagues were rampant at the end of the Han Dynasty because after the war, the bodies of those who died in battle were exposed to the wilderness for a long time, and bacteria were produced, which were then spread through the air or human body, resulting in large-scale plagues.

Although Xue Bing is not a saint, he still lets such things happen even though he knows it. He really can't do it.

Although he cannot influence the general trend of the world, he is still happy to do something within his ability.

After burying the body, Xue Bingfu led his troops to Chang'an and rushed to the middle of the night. Suddenly it started to rain. It was just a drizzle at the beginning, but after the morning, the rain gradually became heavier, and by this time it was already raining heavily.

As he was walking, a rider suddenly ran back. Xue Bing hurriedly lifted the Blood Dragon Sphur from behind the saddle and squinted his eyes forward and looked forward carefully. Soon, the rider ran to a distance, quickly slowed down his horse, and then slowly ran towards Xue Bing.

Xue Bing also saw clearly that the man was the exploring horse sent by him. He waved his arm and signaled the entire army to move slowly. Then, without waiting for the exploring horse to come to his head, he immediately asked, "But what was found in front of him?"

The explorer hurriedly said, "When he returned to the general, he found a small group of Cao soldiers ahead, who were sheltering from the woods not far ahead."

Upon hearing this, Xue Bing turned around and looked at Wang Ping. Wang Ping said to the horse: "Cao Bing can find you?"

The explorer replied, "The rain is too heavy, and my subordinates can only vaguely see a bunch of figures shaking in the woods ahead. I think the enemy did not find my subordinates."

After hearing this, Wang Ping turned to Xue Bing and said, "Will the Cao army block the road beside this Cao army first? Then continue to move forward?"

Xue Bing didn't answer. She just sat on the horse and thought for a while, then said to the siege: "Where is the forest?"

The horse tent replied, "Travel ten miles north from here. The woods are convenient to the west of the road."

Xue Bing asked again: "If I pass by the road, can people in the woods see me?"

Tanma replied: "I also deviated from the road and saw the forest. With this rain, it is difficult to see the situation on the road from the forest."

After hearing this, Xue Bing nodded, and then ordered: "The whole army is forbidden to make noise, and walk by quickly on the road!" Then he smiled and said to Wang Ping: "We quietly walked past Cao Bingdi."

Wang Ping said: "Why didn't the general destroy this enemy?"

Xue Bing replied with a smile: "We are getting closer and closer to Chang'an, and the patrol soldiers will alternate more frequently. Now, fighting now makes it very easy to expose our whereabouts.

If we pass quietly within their investigation scope, it will be easier for the other party to not know that we have arrived."

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Don't make noise. Those who violate the order should be killed immediately!" The army got the order and moved forward again. But this time the entire army quietly made no sound.

And the footsteps and horse hooves were all covered by the heavy rain...

Huang Zhong stood in the tent, holding the map in his hand, dazed intently.

There was still a person standing in the tent at that time, which was Lei Tong. Seeing that Huang Zhong had been standing with the map for a while, Lei Tong asked, "Has the old general ever come up with a solution?"

When Huang Zhong heard this, he sighed and shook his head and said, "I never thought that General Ma Chao was defeated in Xijun.

"After saying that, he went to look at the map again, and then said, "Where are so many soldiers and horses from the West County?" Then he said to the general in front of him, "General Ma Chao can see clearly, there are indeed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?"

The general was Ma Dai. When he heard Huang Zhong ask, he hurriedly replied: "My brother also thought it was the enemy general's suspicious plan, so he drove his troops straight forward. When he didn't want to lead his troops to the west county, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city came out together, and there were also soldiers and horses on both sides.

My elder brother was surrounded by three groups of people, and finally broke out of the siege and returned to the camp. My elder brother was surrounded by tens of thousands of troops and could not escape. Several powerful cavalrymen broke out to seek advice. Only one person broke out of the siege and rushed to the old general's camp for help.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he stroked his gray beard. He patted his forehead and said, "I understand!"

Seeing Huang Zhong like this, Lei Tong and Ma Dai said that Huang Zhong had come up with a solution, so they said, "Has the old general come up with a countermeasure?"

Huang Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not because he came up with a countermeasure, but because I finally know where there are so many soldiers from Liangzhou."

Ma Dai asked, "But where are the soldiers?"

Huang Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "We are all in the plan of the Liangzhou garrison! First, I and General Ma drove the troops straight forward, and they walked along the way. Cao's soldiers fled when they heard the news. We had never fought a battle, so we captured several places. At first, we only said that there were few soldiers in Liangzhou, so we dared not resist.

But I fell into the other party's plan."

After pausing, Lei Tong and Ma Dai looked puzzled, he said, "This enemy general's plan to lure the enemy is to make our army underestimate the enemy. At the same time, the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou pretend to flee and gather in the western county.

But I made up my mind to gather all my troops and horses, and wait for General Ma to arrive. A good battle will be decided!"

After hearing this, the two of them looked dazed. But after a moment, Lei Tong said, "It's just that the old general and General Ma were separated. Although they were not trapped by General Cao, they now confronted Cao Hong's troops and could not escape. What should we do?"

Huang Zhong did not speak, but just looked at the map and finally said, "It's okay. I'll fight with Cao Hong for a while to be suspicious of his heart. Until the evening, while the night is covered, we abandoned the village and left to rescue General Ma Chao.

"After saying that, he ordered his left and right to take a knife and prepare a horse, and prepare to go out of the village to fight Cao Hong for a while. At the same time, he secretly ordered. Get ready to pack up everything and wait until it gets dark. Even if he gets off...

Besides, King Liu Bei of Hanzhong personally took charge of Tianshui County and led the army to confront Xu Huang for more than a month. On this day, Liu Bei was discussing matters with Pang Tong in the hall.

Liu Bei said: "It's nearly a month since Meng Qi and Han Sheng have passed away, and I don't know how the battle is going."

Pang Tong said: "Ma, Huang Zhiyong, there are few rivals in the world. If they had not met a wise man, there would be no danger to the two of them. The king would be at ease."

Just as the truth was spoken, the military intelligence of Xiliang suddenly arrived. Liu Bei hurriedly called him in, took the military information documents, and watched it with Pang Tong.

But I saw that the journey was smooth, and the magistrates and soldiers along the way fled to the wind. Now the army is heading straight to the west county, Wuwei and other places in the north.

After seeing this, Liu Bei frowned. Pang Tong was even more shocked and hurriedly said, "The two generals are in danger. The king should send the general to rescue him." Liu Bei asked quickly after hearing this, "Why did the military advisor say this?"

Pang Tong said anxiously: "Why can there be those who will not fight and take all the lands without fighting? Now the enemy is not not fighting, but is luring two generals to advance lightly. And the so-called fleeing enemy should be disguised as defeat and gathering.

"As he said, his fingers slid back and forth on the map, and then said at his mouth: "The two generals are driving their troops straight forward and taking several places in a row. The follow-up corps cannot keep up and there is no time to take over these places.

In this way, the two generals had to divide their troops to guard these cities. In this way, the two generals had one less force, while the enemy's army had one more force, and they also drove straight in, and they turned out to be exhausted.

I am afraid that when the two generals arrive under the Wuwei, they will cause the tired army to face the soldiers of a state."

Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly said, "I am writing a book now and I'm not sure if it's feasible?"

Pang Tong said: "I'm afraid it's too late, so the king will quickly send a general to lead troops to rescue him!"

Liu Bei followed him and hurriedly asked someone to call Zhang Fei to come.

Not long after, Zhang Fei arrived, and Liu Bei said to him: "The two generals of Ma and Huang mistakenly attacked the enemy's generals and went deep into the dangerous ground. Yide should lead the elite troops to rescue them quickly. The required amount is required, even if the call is made and arranged properly, there is no need to report it. Just lead the troops away by yourself.
