Nothing happened overnight.

At dawn, Ma Chao, Han Cheng, Pang De and others continued to rush forward, and Ma Chao did not mention anything about what happened last night, as if it had never happened.

But in fact, Ma Chao began to be wary of Han Cheng in his heart and instructed Pang De to secretly observe Han Cheng's every move.

Han Cheng was still unaware of this subtle change, but in his heart, he continued to calculate his original plan and was very much looking forward to the results he was about to come.

Ma Chao and others still galloped in Hanyang County. After entering Chengji County, the official road became wider. Under Han Cheng's leadership, everyone rushed towards Jicheng and headed for their destination.

That evening, everyone came to the edge of the Wei River. Ma Chao sent someone to find a boat and secretly crossed the Wei River in the dusk.

When he arrived on the other side of the Wei River, it was already dark, so Ma Chao asked the army to rest by the Wei River to accumulate strength.

Jicheng is less than fifty miles away from the Weihe River. The army set out in the morning and arrived in less than noon. Moreover, everyone is dressed in disguise, and even if they are discovered, it will be fine.

Everyone was sitting in the woods by the river eating the dry food they brought and drinking wine. Ma Chao sat next to Han Cheng and asked, "We are very close to Jicheng. What should we do tomorrow?"

Han Cheng said: "Soldiers are very fast. We will lead our troops to set out tomorrow morning and go straight to the city of Jicheng. We were wearing Han Sui's uniforms and I led our team personally. The army in Jicheng would never have expected that the enemy would attack, so we smuggled into the city first, headed straight to the government office, and killed Han Sui directly."

"What about after killing Han Sui?" Ma Chao asked.

"After that? I will come forward and summon the generals in the city with Han Sui's orders, and then capture them all in one go. Then no matter how many soldiers Han Sui has, they will be just a mess and will not be a match for Brother Ma. We will take this opportunity to control Jicheng and then send a funeral to the outside world. Just say that Han Sui is dead. Then Han Sui's generals will definitely come to pay their respects after hearing this. In this way, we can arrest all Han Sui's old subordinates and kill anyone who is unwilling to surrender! In this way, we can completely dismantle Han Sui's power without any effort." Han Cheng said.

After hearing this, Ma Chao felt that what Han Cheng said seemed to be very simple. If it weren't for what happened last night, Ma Chao would probably believe it, so he naturally obeyed Han Cheng's words. However, last night Ma Chao discovered Han Cheng's suspicious behavior and talked with an unknown man in black by the stream for a moment. Although he did not hear the content of the conversation, he also felt that Han Cheng was not as simple as he saw.

Han Sui's scam, and Han Cheng was not much better. If that person came to help Han Cheng, why did Han Cheng not recommend him to Ma Chao but he had to sneak up on it. Therefore, although Ma Chao felt that what Han Cheng said made sense, he did not dare to take risks easily.

And until this time, Ma Chao even felt that he had been in the conspiracy planned by Han Cheng, with the purpose of leading him here, let him go deeper alone, and then surrounded him with a large army, so that he could die without a burial place.

"Okay, then follow Brother Han's plan." Although Ma Chao had doubts about Han Cheng in his heart, he still boldly agreed to Han Cheng's plan.

Afterwards, Ma Chao patrols with Pang De and leaves with him, staying away from Han Cheng.

"Lord, I can't figure it out. You know that Han Cheng has a problem, why do you still agree to Han Cheng's plan? What if this is Han Cheng's annihilation plan?" Pang De asked in confusion.

Ma Chao said: "Our army is in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and our army is alone and deep. If we start to alert the snake too early, we may get nothing. If we don't enter the tiger's den, how can we get a tiger? I want to know the truth of the matter and how will things develop. Since it is coming, I will take a risk. I want to see what Han Cheng wants to take us to do!"

"But if it is really an annihilation plan, our army has only two thousand people and is in the heart of the enemy. Once it is surrounded by the enemy, it will be difficult for our army to break out again!" Pang De said worriedly.

"This time I led elite troops, and I was all in one way. Even if I was surrounded by thousands of troops, with the bravery of the soldiers, under my leadership, I thought it would be no problem to break through. The reason why I asked you to come out is to tell you that you secretly tell the soldiers to be careful and always be careful to deal with any situation. We must respond to changes in the same way, do you understand?" Ma Chao said.

Pound nodded and said, "I understand."

"Very good. Follow me for a while and we will go back to regain our energy. At night, let the soldiers take turns patrolling the night and strengthen their prevention at night!"

"Here!"

Ma Chao and Pang De wandered around the army and arranged orders to the Sima of the army, so that they could always be highly vigilant so as not to be caught off guard when attacked by the enemy.

When he returned to Han Cheng again, Ma Chao ordered to strengthen night defense in front of Han Cheng, and formed a total of eight patrol teams, taking turns to vigil at night.

Seeing that Ma Chao was so nervous, Han Cheng smiled and said, "Brother Ma, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is. Han Sui's army would never dream of us appearing here. Isn't it too nervous if you make such arrangements?"

"Haha, it's better to be careful when sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship. After all, it's not far from Jicheng, so I don't want any problems here."

"Don't worry, even if there is any problem, I will still be able to solve any problem as soon as I come forward."

Ma Chao and Han Cheng looked at each other and laughed, but they each had their own thoughts in their hearts. The two people with their own ulterior motives did not continue to talk, but were prepared to rest like many soldiers.

After a long time, Ma Chao held a wine bag in one hand and handed one of the wine bags to Han Cheng, and said to Han Cheng: "That's the point of drinking, we two brothers are half of each."

"I'll forget it, I'll drink it with Brother Ma!" Han Cheng shirked.

"Brother Han, I will go to the battlefield tomorrow. There will be many fighting at that time. I will not be able to take care of you so much. Tonight, you and my brothers will drink together here, as a wish for us to succeed tomorrow!"

After hearing this, Han Cheng said, "Okay, I must drink this wine that I wish you success!"

So Ma Chao first pulled the lid of the wine bag and started drinking. Seeing that Ma Chao was drinking happily, Han Cheng was not willing to be outdone and started drinking.

The two of them quickly finished the wine. After only a moment, Han Cheng felt a little dizzy, and a heavy shadow appeared in Ma Chao in front of him. Then his eyes turned dark and he fell down without waking up.

"Brother Han! Brother Han! Brother Han..." Ma Chao shouted, shaking Han Cheng's body with his hands, but Han Cheng had no reaction at all, like a dead pig.

At this time, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth. He threw the wine bag in his hand, stood up, and said to Pang De not far away: "How much sweating pill did you add in it? This guy is no different from a dead pig now."

Pang De quickly walked towards here and said to Ma Chao: "Not much, I have mixed everything I have with him, enough for him to sleep for a day and a night. Fortunately, I brought some sweat medicine when I left, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deal with this guy. Lord, what should Han Cheng do?"

"Save his surname first. After we kill Han Sui and occupy Jicheng, the raw rice has been cooked. When Han Cheng wakes up, I will see what he has to say to me!" Ma Chao said.

Pang De said: "Then leave two people to look at Han Cheng?"

"No, take it away directly, Han Cheng's face is useful!"

"Here!"

Then, Ma Chao asked the soldiers to rest for two hours. When they were ugly, they began to assemble. All the soldiers prepared everything, and they were all in high spirits. After Ma Chao's order, they rushed to Jicheng at night.

Han Cheng was on the back of a horse and followed Ma Chao to Jicheng.

Jicheng is located on the Weihe Plain. The roads here are all flat and open roads. Ma Chao and others are still driving on the official road under the banner of "Korean" and heading towards Jicheng in a vast way.

One advantage of marching at night is that you can basically not meet anyone, and this is the heart of Han Sui's forces. Han Sui's military deployment is tight outside and loose inside. When you get here, you will basically not encounter any night patrol teams.

Therefore, it took Ma Chao and others only one hour to arrive at the city of Jicheng.

This is the darkest time period before dawn, and it is also the time when people sleep the deadliest. Even if there are soldiers watching the night's guard on the walls of Ji City, at this time, they are still yawning, sleepy, and drowsy.

On the walls of Ji City, the soldiers watching the night watch were all sleeping against the battlements of the city wall with their weapons. Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse hooves came from outside the city, and the sound was getting closer and closer, like rolling thunder, awakening the soldiers watching the night watch.

Although Jicheng is the county town of Hanyang County, there is no moat. When these night watchmen woke up, they opened their eyes and saw groups of cavalry standing under the city wall.

With the dim lights, they could vaguely see that the cavalry were wearing the same military uniform as them, and their nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

At this time, a man dressed in a military Sima walked out of the city and shouted to the city tower: "Hurry to open the city gate and let us enter the city."

Although the defenders on the city tower relaxed their vigilance, they still followed the official duties and said: "It is hard to tell the night. Please stay outside the city overnight. Tomorrow morning, when you open the city gate, it will not be too late to let you enter the city!"

"We are General Yang's subordinates. At the order of General Yang, we will send the young master back. Please open the city gate and let us in. It will delay the important matter. Can you take responsibility?"

Although Han Cheng was missing, Han Sui tried his best to keep it secret, he still couldn't rest assured that his son was not satisfied. So in the name of Han Cheng being playful, he asked the people to find Han Cheng's traces. Once Han Cheng was discovered, he would immediately bring Han Cheng to Jicheng to meet Han Sui. This matter is already well known. Ma Chao had a detailed work in Jicheng. When he asked Pang De to patrol, he learned about the news and then formulated such a plan to use Han Cheng to earn the money to open the city gate.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone took Han Cheng out. Han Cheng lay on the horse's back and fell asleep. He was straightened by the soldiers, revealing his face.

The soldiers guarding the city did not know Han Cheng, and when they saw that it was Han Cheng, they were ready to open the city gate and let them in. However, seeing Han Cheng looking sleepy, they still asked. The people under the city said that Han Cheng was drunk. General Yang got him drunk and sent them back. Moreover, they had been traveling for a day and a night, and were tired and sleepy. They asked to go into the city to send Han Cheng to the government office, and then a group of people went to rest.

The soldiers on the city tower believed it, and Han Sui had given some advice before, no matter who sent Han Cheng, no matter when he was, he had to let him enter the city immediately and then send him to the government office.

So the soldiers opened the city gate and sent Ma Chao, Pang De and others into the city directly.

As soon as the city gate opened, Ma Chao, Pang De and others guarded Han Cheng to the government office, and the last thousand people who entered the city suddenly launched an attack on the soldiers guarding the city. The sudden attack left these soldiers who were guarding the night watch without any defense and were all killed in an instant.

Ma Chao's army immediately swept the battlefield, then took over the city gate, leaving 250 soldiers to guard here, and the other 750 soldiers were divided into three groups to capture the other three gates of Ji City. Ma Chao, Pang De and others took a thousand soldiers and headed straight to the government office... (To be continued.)
