Chapter 721 Pre-war Planning

Two days in a row of Mercedes-Benz, endless, full of yellow sand.

On this vast Gobi, except for the yellow sand, it is a heavily weathered rock, which is strange, sobbing in the wind and sand, like a ghost crying.

Ma Chao and more than 25,000 iron riders behind him have passed through the desert hinterland between Tianshui and the street pavilion and drove straight to Longxi County.

Except for occasionally seeing a little yellow weeds by the river, the rest of the place is as desolate as a ghostland. The sky is yellow and gray, which can't be seen far away, and it is even more depressing. Even if it is light windy, it will bring some sand, whirlling strangely, extremely fast and far away, making people feel the horror of death. If this army hadn't been an iron-blooded journey and a long cycle of life and death, it would have scared off this endless desert.

No matter where you look in the southeast and northwest, you can't see the edges. Everywhere is devastated and desolate. During Ma Chao's journey, he couldn't help asking Yang Fu, "Do we have to take this desperate road?"

"Lord, this is the hometown of Fu. In the middle of the confrontation between Longxi County and the thief army, a certain soldier and other soldiers can defeat the invading thief army in one fell swoop without knowing it!" Yang Fu pedaled his staves again, coordinated to stretch his body, and opened his mouth to return to Ma Chao.

"There should be no problem on Pound's side, right?" Ma Chao frowned and then asked casually.

"There should be no problem." Yang Fu said, after recalling the map, he opened his mouth and said, "Pang Pingdong also has more than 25,000 horse horses. Although he is not as good as the master, he should be able to deal with the 40,000 troops of Chengyi, which only attacked Guangwei County. What's more, Pang Pingdong also has the help of Fa Xiaozhi, Xu Yuanzhi and Hua Ziyu on this expedition, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Well," Ma Chao did not say anything more, but just accelerated the whip, but the ominous premonition that has risen faintly since the expedition has become stronger and stronger: this expedition seems to be extremely normal, but is it really no problem to divide the two ways? Although Liangzhou is trapped in internal war, there are no knowledgeable people. Can you see the result of the Ma family sending troops to help?

After another half day, Ma Chao saw Xiao Tian report that he had found a suitable place to camp. Looking up at the sky again, Ma Chao stopped the elephant dragon and ordered the troops to camp. As for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Xu Huang, Xun You, Yang Fu, Li Ru, Guo Jia, Yang Xiu and others, they followed Ma Chao into the Chinese military account.

"Before the march, you have a big stalk in your heart, but the soldiers are in danger and unpredictable, so you have to be cautious again and again." Ma Chao launched the march map and laid it in the middle of the case. Then he looked at Yang Fu and said, "Let Yishan talk about the situation in Liangzhou first for your reference."

After saying that, Ma Chao looked at Yang Fu. After Yang Fu straightened out his thoughts, he took the lead in holding his five fingers in the void. After covering Liangzhou, he opened his mouth and said, "Since ancient times, Liangzhou has been in constant war. The five counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Wuwei and Jincheng are all Hu Han miscellaneous places. However, most of the Han people have a strategy to move to the border, which makes Hanhu have a deep conflict. Fortunately, the Hu Han family's thoughts were spread, so Han Sui, the leader of the Iron Qiang League, also implemented this policy, which made Liangzhou decide for a while.

After saying this, Yang Fu pointed to the point and continued: "Today, Han Boyo has died. Although there are signs that it was done by Cao thieves, Cheng Gongying led his troops to attack Longxi, but it was a defeat!" With that, Yang Fu pointed to a county in Longxi and said, "Cheng Gongying took over the army of Jincheng County. There are more than 50,000 people. It seems that the soldiers are fierce, but they have not won the essence of the soldiers."

"One, the internal chaos has not been calmed." Speaking of this, Yang Fu pointed to Jincheng County and said, "Jincheng has been operating for Han Zhenxi for a long time. His people's hearts are mostly to the Han family, and the lord is the son-in-law of the Han family, which is expected by the people. Cheng Gongying did not soothe the hearts of the people, so he lured and killed the Longxi county guard of the Ma family and sent troops to fight against the Ma family, which made the people of Jincheng dissatisfied. As a result, the clan next to the Han family has secretly surrendered to the Ma family.

"Second, external problems are unstable." When he said this, Yang Fu's finger moved to Xiping County again and continued to say, "The governor of Xiping County maintains a neutral attitude in this internal struggle. However, Ma Wan, a general of the Han family, supported the Ma family and led 30,000 Han to attack Jincheng in the south of Xiping County. Although Cheng Gongying has the upper hand in Longxi County, the emptiness of Jincheng's defense is his weakness.

"Third, the backpower is insufficient, isolated and helpless." Yang Fu said this and no longer looked at the map, but looked at the crowd and said, "Congying only has 50,000 troops, but Liangzhou behind him is killing internal strife, divided into chaos, and there is no support. And the lonely army's expedition to Longxi, even if the army is like fire, there is also a time when it burns out, and the lord sent troops at this moment, just like pouring down a ladle of cold water, greatly breaking the morale of the enemy! What's more, what he did after that..."

"Rob the camp and attack the grain!" Zhang Liao looked at the light in Yang Fu's eyes and instantly thought of Yang Fu's mind and said, "Cong Gongying has no reinforcements, so the supply of grain and fodder must be the top priority. On this trip, if Cheng Gongying's grain road is cut off first, the morale of the enemy army is greatly down, and then attack with the soldiers of Longxi County, Cheng Gongying will be defeated at a touch!"

"That's right," Li Ru brushed the mouse's beard, with a cold light in his eyes, and suddenly said, "This plan is wonderful, but it's not poisonous enough..."

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be interested in this poisonous snake and asked, "If Wenyou is a poisonous trick, just say it, don't live up to your 'poisoner' reputation!"

When Li Ru heard the words, his face turned black, and he couldn't see whether Ma Chao praised him or degraded him. But after a while, he returned to his previous gloomy virtue and pointed to the middle road from Jincheng to Longxi and said, "Cheng Gongying is not popular with the people and must grab grain from Jincheng County to the front line. And if someone only intercepts the grain channel, it will be a waste of such a good opportunity.

With that, the cold light in Li Ru's eyes floated even more, like a poisonous snake staring at a white mouse and spitting out a letter and saying, "With the method of warfare, ten will besiege it, five will attack it, double it will fight, the enemy can be divided, and a few can escape. If not, it can be avoided. At this time, Cheng Gongying is fighting with Longxi. If he suddenly hears that the grain road is cut off, he will definitely try his best to help. Although our army is only more than 25,000, its combat strength is no less than 100,000 troops. Wouldn't it be better to surround the grain road and set up an ambush and wait for Cheng Gongying's return to help?

"Around the tip to help? It's really a clever plan!" After listening to Li Ru's plan, Xu Huang couldn't help clapping his hands, but thinking about this plan step by step, and even there was a plan. He was immediately convinced by the poisonous poison in it and said, "It's not only a trick, but also a poisonous trick!"

And Ma Chao looked left and right and saw that everyone was thinking like this. At present, the situation on the front line seems to be relatively optimistic. I can't help saying, "In this case, after strengthening your vigilance today, you will rest early, rush to Jincheng tomorrow, and follow this plan!"

"bei zhi (subordinate) obey!" When everyone heard the words, they retreated one after another. But Guo Jia, who fell at the end, deliberately slowed down and stayed in Ma Chao's account.

And Ma Chao was still immersed in the map and was illuminated by the candlelight. After blocking the map, Ma Chao found that Guo Jia had returned to the map. Looking up, Guo Jia's always free and comfortable face was actually a little confused.

"Brother, do you think this battle is very strange?" Ma Chao opened his mouth and said his opinion directly.

"Yes, everything looks too simple..." Guo Jia replied and muttered to himself, "Cheng Gongying, an unknown person, could win about 50,000 troops from Han Bo, and even deceived Jiang Qian, who was one of the three heroes and one Ying... It seems that this move can't be done by ordinary unknown generals.

Ma Chao also nodded, but at present he has no idea at all, so he has to say, "Li Ru's plan is watertight. Even if it is recognized by Cheng Gongying, someone can escape with one blow... Let's make plans after tomorrow night.

Guo Jia is speechless. Obviously, the inside story of this dramatic change in Liangzhou is too strong. Even though their eyes were as bright as torches and peeped through the core, they did not see through all of them.
