"Lord, there is no movement from Ma Chao. It seems that he is not aware of this matter." Cheng Gongying from Jincheng, Han Mansion came to Han Sui's side and bowed.
"Inform Cheng Yin and Cheng Yi to mobilize troops and horses from all departments and secretly advance to Longxi. In addition, Ma Chao must not let up. Once the troops and horses are mobilized, they will stop the action immediately. Even if they give up this opportunity, they will never take risks." Han
So he nodded, although he felt that with Ma Chao's behavior, since he didn't take any action, he probably didn't notice it, but the risk of this matter was too great, and if it failed, it would be a devastating disaster for Han Sui.
Ma Chao is the only soldier Chu Nan can mobilize in Xiliang, and his movements must be controlled in his hands.
"This land in Xiliang is vast and sparsely populated, so our military spies dare not approach it, but it is said that Chu Nan has frequently visited the Qiang people these days." Cheng Gongying said worriedly: "It seems that Chu Nan really wants to seize the foundation of the Lord."
If they want to completely conquer Xiliang, the Qiang people from all over the country have an insurmountable obstacle. Chu Nan's moves are very accurate. Once he convinces the Qiang to agree with him, Han Sui will no longer be able to fight against him.
"There's no need to worry about this matter." Han Sui didn't care much about this. The Qiang people's problem didn't last a day or two for the Han Dynasty. If it could be solved, it would have been solved long ago. How could it be delayed until now?
Even if Ma Chao can intimidate the Qiang, it is impossible to integrate the Qiang. The Qiang will fear him and respect him, but it is impossible for the Qiang to completely surrender.
Since Liu Xiu, the Han Dynasty has not been able to solve the problem for two hundred years. Chu Nan won the support of the Qiang as soon as he came. He was afraid that Liu Xiu would not dare to say this, so Han Sui was not worried about Chu Nan convincing the Qiang to go against him.
Besides, the real power of the Qiang people is not here. Even if he convinces a few tribes, it will be of little use to the overall situation of Xiliang.
"I'll leave soon." Han Sui stood up and said, "Go and ask Yan Ming to come over."
"How are you going to persuade Ma Chao to send troops?" Cheng Gongying asked.
Han Sui smiled and said: "We can't persuade him about this matter. It would be too deliberate. It would make Ma Chao wary and let him go by himself. As long as he meets Chu Nan, this plan will be done! It's a matter of hiding his whereabouts.
You still need to take action, otherwise it will be easy for Ma Chao to see the clues."
Cheng Gongying has earth magic power, which is not very powerful, but it can effectively eliminate the marks of the marching army. Otherwise, if Ma Chao is aware of their movement, it will inevitably cause trouble.
"Lord, don't worry!" Cheng Gongying nodded, got up and went to call Yan Xing. As the number one general under Han Sui's account, naturally he cannot be left out in this matter.
Three days later, Ma Chao received news that a local wealthy family in Longsang City had gathered to resist the new policy and led troops to seize the government office.
Longsang City, like Suoxi City, is a small town near Lintao. Qiang and Han people live together, the terrain is remote, and Qiang people are the mainstay.
"This is where it is." Yao Manshu wrote: "Gu will arrive at Longsang tomorrow. General Meng Qi will lead two thousand elites to join him here?"
"Since the prime minister knew that Han Sui was coming, why didn't he let the general bring more troops?" Ma Chao asked.
He is the captain of the Qiang Guard, and now has three thousand regular troops under his command. In addition, he can also mobilize a large number of Qiang people to help fight.
"The local wealthy families are in trouble. If Meng Qi brings too many soldiers and horses, it will arouse suspicion. What's more, if you bring too many soldiers and horses, Han Sui may not dare to take action. Two thousand is just right." Yao Manshu wrote.
When Ma Chao saw the words, he couldn't help but puff up his chest. This was true. Old Gou Han was as afraid of him as a tiger now.
Although I know that this is mostly pretending, the other party is definitely afraid of me.
"I have ordered five thousand Qiang troops to gather here. In addition, Han Sui's army also includes our troops. This Longsang City is where Han Sui died."
Five thousand Qiang troops?
Ma Chao looked at Yao Mantis in astonishment. If he remembered correctly, Chu Nan had just arrived in Xiliang not long ago, right? How could he mobilize five thousand Qiang troops so quickly?
This matter made Ma Chao find it a little difficult to understand.
"Remember, act angry. If nothing else happens, Meng Qi should have Han Sui at his side!" Yao Mantis wrote again.
Careful work?
Ma Chao frowned and thought, countless suspicious figures flashed through his mind.
"Don't worry about these things. If the enemy's details are used well, things can be accomplished."
"The general has received the order and will send out troops now!" Ma Chao said, cupping his fists.
Then, he saw Yao Mantis looking at him quietly, and he knew that Chu Nan's thoughts had retreated.
To be able to communicate so easily even though we are hundreds of miles apart, the Prime Minister's prodigy is truly remarkable.
But compared to these, he was more curious about who was Chu Nan's spy next to Han Sui and when was he placed?
With these thoughts in mind, Ma Chao ordered his younger brother Ma Dai to guard his home as he usually did when suppressing rebellion, and led two thousand soldiers and horses directly to Longsang City.
"My plan has worked!" Han Sui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that Ma Chao had led his troops to suppress the rebellion. The plan had reached the final step. He already knew that Chu Nan had entered Longsang City. As soon as Ma Chao entered Longsang City, he would
He immediately mobilized all his troops and completely surrounded Longsang City. By then, Chunan and Ma Chao would completely become history. He could not control the Central Plains, but in this land of Xiliang, no matter who wins the world in the future, they will have to rely on him.
.
"Congratulations, lord!" Cheng Gongying said with a smile.
"It's not done yet, so don't be careless!" Han Sui frowned. Everything was happening as he expected. It should have been a good thing, but everything seemed to be developing too smoothly, which made him feel unreal.
Is the matter solved so easily?
Chu Nan, who frightened all the princes and scholars in the world, fell into his own trap so easily?
But if you think carefully about the implementation and layout of the entire strategy, it can be said that it is watertight. Chu Nan's performance was completely unaware that someone was planning it, and he could not find any loopholes.
I just always feel a little unsure in my heart.
"My lord, Ma Chao has entered Longsang City!" Just when Han Sui was hesitating, he saw Cheng Yi coming over and saluted Han Sui: "When should we take action?"
At this point, the arrow is on the string and must be fired!
Han Sui suppressed all the emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Mount the troops immediately! Encircle Longsang City with troops!"
"Here!"
Following Han Sui's order, a wisp of smoke rose, and immediately after that, ambush troops were seen coming out from all over the mountains, encircling Longsang City as quickly as possible.
"Really here!?" In Longsang City, Ma Chao saw the smoke outside the city. Then he heard the commotion and quickly came to the tower. He couldn't help but sneered as he watched a large number of troops from all directions forming up and rushing to the city.
Chu Nan also followed him up to the city. He looked at the mighty Xiliang army in all directions and waved his hands to signal the soldiers to line up. He wanted to talk to Han Sui.
After a while, the army was in formation. Chu Nan exhaled and said: "I am the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Who are you and the generals who dare to gather people to cause chaos!?"
"What are you, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty? We don't know that there are bandits making trouble in Longsang City, and we are ordered to fight against the bandits!" In front of the formation of the three armies, a man who was famous and stood up with a sword said loudly.
Chu Nan lowered his head, looked down at the three armies, and said with a smile: "General Han Sui, since you are here, why bother to hide and imitate the behavior of that rat? You dare to show up and see him."
"There are many strange people around your Majesty. To be on the safe side, the last general has disappeared. If your Majesty really wants to see me, how about leaving the city and surrendering?" Han Sui's voice echoed around as the military formation increased.
He called Chu Nan your lord, firstly to show that he did not recognize him as the prime minister, and at the same time to prevent the soldiers from thinking of retreating if they knew it was Chu Nan.
"Yan Xing, do you dare to fight with me!?" Ma Chao saw Yan Xing, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted angrily.
"Ma Chao, you are still so clueless. When the two armies are fighting, who will fight with you?" Yan Xing sneered: "You have the courage to speak bravely even if you have defeated generals!?"
"You..." Ma Chao was furious and wanted to go down to the city to fight, but was stopped by Chu Nan.
"This is a way to inspire generals. Don't join the party, just defend the city." Chu Nan failed to find Han Sui's location and shook his head.
Ma Chao snorted and said no more.
Chu Nan ignored Yan Xing and continued: "General Han, if you stop now, I can treat it as if this never happened. Otherwise, what you did today is tantamount to rebellion."
"Your Majesty, neither you nor I are stupid. You should know that once I take action today, there will be no way back, so why say such lies!" Han Sui laughed and said this, but he said this for Cheng Yi and others to hear. Since I took action today,
, if Chu Nan is allowed to escape, they will not end well. As things stand now, only if they succeed will they be able to prosper.
"Very good." After Chu Nan finished speaking, he said no more and turned to look at Ma Chao: "I have heard for a long time that Meng Qi attacked Wushuang, but I don't know how good he is at defending the city?"
"It's just an old dog, don't worry about it." Ma Chao raised his head and said.
"Then let me guard it. You prepare your troops and wait for the rebel army to be in chaos and then rush out immediately!" Chu Nan nodded.
Ma Chao: "..."
As he spoke, Han Sui had already commanded all the troops to attack the city. This Longsang City was just a small city. The city wall was made of rammed earth. The city was only two feet high. With the quality of today's soldiers, even without siege equipment, a borrowed force would be enough.
You can jump up.
Chu Nan calmly unfolded the military formation. He was still familiar with the Fengzi secret. Nowadays, he could use most of the nine secrets of the imperial army, but the one he liked to use the most was still the Fengzi secret.
But he saw that under his command, more than a thousand soldiers on the city were running like flying, even afterimages appeared, and their attack speed was more than three times faster than usual. With only a thousand soldiers, they were able to block the fierce attack of 20,000 people.
What's even more perverted is that these more than a thousand people are under the command of Chu Nan, as if they can see the entire city. Wherever more soldiers and horses are needed, where one or two people can defend it, Chu Nan can do it without looking.
I noticed that the Xiliang army attacked fiercely for an hour, but they couldn't even get half a step up the city wall.
Not to mention anything else, just by using this military formation, Ma Chao felt that he was no longer being outdone by Chu Nan, but was watching him fly away.
Obviously he wasn't as good as he was when he was in Xinzheng.
An hour later, the offensive obviously slowed down. Chu Nan suddenly looked at Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, it's your turn. Let out the smoke, then lead a thousand cavalry out of the city and attack the center of the rebel army!"
"...Here!" Ma Chao woke up from the shock and took a strange look at the soldiers running like flying on the city wall. He was the one he brought with him.
Seeing Chu Nan's look, he quickly agreed, jumped down from the city tower, ordered people to set off the smoke, and then led the remaining thousands of troops to gather near the city gate...
