There has always been a sneaky figure outside Didao City, always observing every move of the Yizhou Army.
This strange person is none other than Ma Teng's messenger Meng Da, who had just parted with Liu Zhang.
After Meng Da left, he did not leave directly. Instead, he found a hidden place to hide and kept observing the movements of Liu Zhang and others.
It was not until Liu Zhang and all his Yizhou troops entered Didao City that Meng Da showed a satisfied smile.
"Haha, Liu Zhang? Xun You? It seems like that's the case!"
After Mengda got up, he immediately got on his horse and then drove away again.
If Liu Zhang and others saw the direction in which Meng Da was riding, they would immediately know that Meng Da's goal was not to return to Wuwei County.
Mengda only ran less than ten miles before he turned the horse's head.
After running for less than half an hour, Meng Da made a large circle from the south of Didao and came directly to the north of Didao.
There are no roads to the north of Didao, and it is completely covered with high mountains.
However, Mengda didn't hesitate at all and rushed directly into the mountains. Judging from the speed at which he continued to travel, he must be familiar with the roads here.
It didn't take long for Mengda to bypass several mountains and arrive at a relatively flat mountain valley.
If Liu Zhang saw the scenery in Meng Da's eyes, he would definitely be shocked.
There is a dense army in the mountain col in front of us, no less than ten thousand people!
These soldiers did not panic when they saw Meng Da, but instead frequently bowed their hands and saluted. This is enough to show that Meng Da's status is not just a messenger.
Meng Da passed through the crowd and successfully reached the center of the team, directly entering the Chinese army's tent.
"Zidu, are you back?"
A young scribe with a happy face immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Meng Da nodded to the young man, then raised his hands and saluted the person in charge of the handsome tent.
"Greetings to the Governor!"
And the Han governor mentioned by Meng Da was the Liangzhou governor who Liu Zhang "thought about day and night", Han Sui!
"Zidu, thank you for your hard work! How was the result?"
Han Sui's eyes were full of expectation, and he placed all his hopes on the news brought back by Meng Da.
Enduring the severe pain, I abandoned three major counties and stayed in this deep mountain for more than a month!
Whether everything is worth it depends on the news Meng Da brings!
"Master Governor, everything is as expected by Xiaozhi. Now Liu Zhang is very satisfied. He not only led the entire army into Didao City, but also ordered to reward the three armies tonight!"
"I also met Liu Zhang's military advisors Xun You, Liu Ye and others. After seeing Ma Teng's letter, they were so happy that they forgot about it!"
"What a wise man or a mastermind, in my opinion, they are far inferior to being filial and upright!"
Meng Da looked at the young scribe who had just greeted him, the admiration in his eyes was very strong.
This young scholar was the Fufeng person whom Liu Zhang had always longed for. He was a man of filial piety and uprightness.
"Haha, Zidu won the prize, and it's all thanks to Governor Han!"
Fazheng had a faint look of pride on his face, but he downplayed the credit to Han Sui.
Han Sui smiled and nodded, thinking it was his contribution.
How much courage it takes to abandon Hanyang County, Anding County, and Longxi County one after another!
If it weren't for Han Sui's deep mind and wise mind, Han Sui wouldn't be able to act according to what Fazheng said!
If he is not careful, Han Sui may be becoming his own gravedigger.
But Han Sui took a gamble, and it turned out that he was right!
"Xiaozhi, without your strategy, how could Liu Zhang be fooled! If Liu Zhang can be captured and killed this time, you will be the first to succeed!"
Han Sui did not hesitate to reward him with words, but instead gave the credit to Fa Zheng.
"Thank you, Lord Governor!"
Fazheng quickly raised his hands in thanks, but there was disdain in his eyes.
After this period of getting along, Fazheng had completely labeled Han Sui as someone who was not a wise master.
This is also the reason why Fazheng and Mengda did not recognize Han Sui as their master.
Capricious, unfaithful, and opportunistic!
These are Fazheng's evaluations of Han Sui.
In Fazheng's view, Han Sui had only a small talent at best and would never be able to achieve great things!
Fazheng's primary target of surrender was actually Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang was too powerful and had countless talented people under his command. He defected to Yizhou at a young age. It was really difficult to get ahead!
At the time of crisis, news suddenly came that Liu Zhang intended to go north.
Fazheng hit it off with his good friend Meng Da, and the two immediately ran to Jincheng to join Han Sui.
Fazheng had outstanding literary talent and profound intelligence. After a conversation, he immediately convinced Han Sui.
However, Han Sui's performance was unsatisfactory. Finally, at Han Sui's plea, Fazheng decided to stay temporarily.
Of course, Fazheng also had his own reasons for agreeing to Han Sui's stay.
Just as Liu Zhang was preparing to send troops to Liangzhou, Fazheng also wanted to test his strategy.
They are all self-proclaimed smart people, and they all entered the official position at a young age. Fazheng has become competitive.
Compared with himself, who are the masterminds under Liu Zhang, the shepherd of Yizhou, who are stronger and weaker?
Fazheng thought hard for a long time before he devised such a strategy. He used the three counties of Liangzhou as bait and joined forces with Ma and Teng to advance!
Not to mention Liu Zhang, I am afraid that no one can bear this temptation!
"Lord Governor, what's going on with Ma Teng?"
If Fazheng doesn't take action, he will completely defeat Liu Zhang's Yizhou Army.
Han Sui attacked Liu Zhang's main force head-on, and Ma Teng led his army to attack Hanyang County, which Liu Zhang had just occupied, thus cutting off Liu Zhang's return route.
"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to convey the message. Tomorrow Ma Teng can go south from Zuli and lead his army to directly attack Ji County, completely cutting off Liu Zhang's return path!"
A fierce light appeared in Han Sui's eyes. He wanted to get back the shame of Yang Ping Pass from Liu Zhang in Didao at his own expense and with profit!
"Lord Governor, are the troops and horses arranged properly?"
"Tonight is not only the day to defeat the enemy, but also the moment to highlight the power of our Liangzhou army and focus the world's attention on Longxi!"
"After tonight, Didao's fire will cover up Guandu's edge!"
Meng Da looked at Han Sui excitedly, as if fire was reflected in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the demise of the Yizhou Army.
Han Sui had seen so much of the world, yet he was infected by Meng Da's passion, and his face was filled with excitement.
"Don't worry, Zidu! The 40,000-strong army is ready to go, and Liu Zhang will definitely take the lead tonight!"
All the generals in the tent were eager to try, but the calmest one was Fazheng who was making suggestions.
"Lord, remember to act according to orders and make sure there are no mistakes!"
The identity of the mastermind constantly warned Fazheng that he must not take it lightly until the last moment of victory.
Everything is currently under control, except for the final step.
Whether it can be successful and whether all the previous sacrifices can be rewarded all depends on this last step.
Han Sui immediately put away his proud smile and became serious.
"Don't worry Takanao, everything will go according to plan!"
