After this day of scolding, the tension between the two armies was relieved to a certain extent. Cao Jun was even more relaxed. When the rear army led by Zhao Yun took their turn in the evening shift, they were still laughing happily. During the day, Xu Chu's fresh curse words
.But one thing that Cao Jun always insists on in his curses is that no matter what Han Sui's soldiers on the city say, Cao Jun below will classify them and Ma Teng's troops as allies, and from time to time add a few sentences saying that the people of Bingzhou don't talk about it.
Credit, temporary breach of contract, etc.
Han Sui's soldiers and horses did not understand the meaning of this accusation for the time being, but Cao Jun insisted and asked Han Sui's soldiers and horses to listen.
Compared with the Bingzhou Han army generals who defended the city, they seemed to be relaxed. But today they finally saw clearly the strength and military appearance of Cao's army's front, middle and rear armies. After nightfall, they had to figure out whether their small city could withstand it.
Several rounds of attacks by 30,000 troops outside the city. In fact, the top guard of Yinguang City at this time was Liu Bao, and Han Sui was not there at all. Han Sui was in Jinyang at this time, confronting Ma Teng who was stationed in the Shangdang, and the two families
This breakup was not a sudden act. In fact, after Ma Teng and Han Sui defeated Chang'an and returned to Bingzhou, it was because of the confusion that the troops were stationed too close together, and the eastern part of the governed area belongs to me, and the western part belongs to you.
, and there were frequent conflicts between Ma Teng's men and Han Sui's men. The two families were at odds and led their troops to attack each other. The main trigger was the agreement that Cao Zhi secretly signed with Ma Chao last time.
Ma Chao thought that he had done a beautiful thing and made a good deal without the supervision of his father. But when Ma Teng arrived with a large team of people, he wanted to slap his young and energetic son twice. It was not easy to catch so many big men.
Dude, how could you let it go like this? Especially this Lu Bu is the top priority. He is now
The most wanted criminal of the Chang'an government. If his head was sent to Chang'an, Li Jue and the others would not immediately recommend Ma Teng as the shepherd of Liangzhou, or even let him rule Bingzhou. Isn't that what Ma Teng lacks now?
An official position one level lower than that of Han Sui? This great opportunity for success and fame was wasted by Ma Chao.
So Ma Teng decided not to leave, and stayed to wait for Cao Zhi's next deal, but Ma Teng also knew that Lu Bu was unlikely to come again. If Lu Bu ran away, it would be good to catch Cao Zhi, the governor of Danyang.
After all, he is the younger brother of Cao Cao, the herdsman of Yanzhou. Although Cao Cao and others have not turned against them, it should be feasible to capture Cao Zhi and blackmail Cao Cao.
But Ma Teng thought well, but things did not go as smoothly as he expected. Under the mixed governance of Bingzhou, there was no secret in the small transaction between Ma Chao and Cao Zhi.
As soon as Han Sui got the news, he immediately drove out of Jinyang Prefecture and led his people straight to Yanmen. When he saw Ma Teng, he asked if he had done anything wrong to his brother. Of course, Ma Teng denied it. Han Sui refused to let him go and immediately ordered his personal guards.
He rushed into the hustler's warehouse and immediately found a large amount of gold and silver treasures. Han Sui also asked an undercover agent lurking in Yanmen to testify on the spot about the transaction between Ma Chao and Cao Zhi, the prefect of Danyang.
Being exposed on the spot for lying and having his warehouse in his territory forcibly searched, Ma Teng became furious on the spot and started fighting with Han Sui.
Han Sui brought few troops to Yanmen to investigate the crime, just a thousand-man personal guard camp. At the beginning of the fight, they were no match for Ma Teng and his son, so Ma Teng defeated Han Sui and drove him out of Yanmen. How could Han Sui
Can you just let it go?
, after returning, they immediately gathered some troops to attack Ma Teng, entered Yanmen, and finally captured Yin Guan City. Ma Teng was not as strong as Han Sui in Bingzhou, so when they broke through Yin Guan City, they fled in a hurry, and Ma Chao was on the way.
His wife Yang went missing and was captured by Han Sui. What a worry for Ma Chao. When Ma Teng returned to Liangzhou to urgently mobilize reinforcements, Ma Chao took over the party and fought several battles with Han Sui, with both sides winning or losing. But this time
The advantage still lies with Han Sui
Here, as the orthodox governor of Bingzhou, he is more capable than Ma Teng in giving orders to Bingzhou. At present, almost all counties and counties in Bingzhou are on Han Sui's side, and reinforcements are being dispatched from all over Bingzhou to Jinyang.
Just when Han Sui had great hopes of annihilating Ma Chao who was entrenched in Shangdang County, Yanmen Yinhui sent an urgent letter: Cao Zhishuai's army in Danyang was coming. In the letter, Yinhui guard Liu Bao confirmed that Cao Zhi and Ma Teng were together.
, they came to rescue Ma Teng and his son.
This unexpected situation caused Han Sui to have trouble sleeping and eating. He gave up the opportunity to advance the troops and horses, rushed to command 5,000 troops, and arrived at Yin Guan three days later after being surrounded by Yin Guan.
When Han Sui rushed to Yin Gui, he saw the intact south gate and the quiet city, and he was relieved. When he entered the city, he found that except for the depression left by the last time he and Ma Teng fought for this city, there was no new situation.
traces of the war.
Could it be that Cao Jun retreated?
As soon as he thought about it, Liu Bao hurried over to meet Han Sui and led him all the way to the north gate.
When Han Sui approached the North City, he heard the noise and noise. After climbing the wall of the North Gate, he realized that Cao's army was powerful. More than 30,000 troops and horses were paved under the Yinguan City, which was so spectacular.
After Han Sui and the servant She Zhong Yao who came with him looked at each other, they knew that it would not be easy to send Cao Zhi away.
At this time, a new round of defense adjustments and scoldings began again under the city. Han Sui had just arrived, and he did not understand what was going on. He also said that the enemy was preparing to attack the city. Just when he called the generals on the left and right to prepare, Liu Bao explained in time: "This is
This is harassment from the enemy. They have been doing this for the past three days. Don’t worry, my lord, they are just changing their defenses, and they will be yelling at each other later!"
"Swearing at each other?" Han Sui looked at Liu Bao in confusion.
After a while, I heard that a black-faced general came out of the city and started shouting.
Because he was far away, Han Sui couldn't see the enemy general's face for a while, but he could clearly hear the opponent's angry voice.
"You Bingzhou dogs who have gone back on their word, we have traveled thousands of miles to transport things to you, but you have closed the door and refused to accept them. You are worse than pigs and dogs, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
"What's going back on your word? What's the transported thing? What's that piece of black coal talking about?" Han Sui, who really didn't understand what Xu Chu was cursing, turned angrily and asked Liu Bao who was standing aside.
Liu Bao quickly explained: "The last few days have also made it clearer. It seems that the purpose of Cao Zhi's coming here is not to invade the underworld, but that he had previously made an agreement with Ma Teng's eldest son, Ma Chao, saying that Cao Zhi brought the goods to Ma Chao.
some ordnance weapons,
Ma Chao offered war horses in exchange. Now that Cao Zhi has delivered the goods, he sees that we have closed the city, so he is very angry. My lord, it seems that Cao Zhi is here to do business, and he doesn’t seem to know that we have already made a deal with the horses.
The matter of losing peace!"
"Fart! Do you need to bring 30,000 soldiers and horses to do business? The Cao family brothers are not good people. I think they are just here to plot my Bingzhou. They are pretending to be confused. We are making trouble with Ma Teng.
It's so big, even Cao Zhi could have heard it casually along the way, how could he not know about it?"
Han Sui scolded Liu Bao with a fierce glare in his eyes. Liu Bao responded obediently. At this time, the servant of the minister who came with Han Sui Zhong Yao spoke, "Mr. Han, this Cao Cao, Cao Zhi heard that he is now in
Yan, the two states of Yang are quite powerful. I heard that Cao Zhi has captured Ye City this time. The attackers are powerful. Han Gong is currently fighting with Ma Taishou. Most of the enemies think it is inappropriate. I think Han Gong should think twice!
"
After hearing the words of the middle-aged man named Zhong Yao, Han Sui immediately changed his fierce look and nodded to Zhong Yao.
Next to him, Liu Bao and other generals who defended the city did not recognize Zhong Yao, who looked quite elegant and had a three-inch beard. He thought to himself, how could his lord be so respectful to this person? Who is this person?
Speaking of this, Zhong Yao is an extraordinary person. He is a supervisory imperial envoy sent by the central government, or the emperor. This kind of imperial envoy to supervise local areas has existed in all dynasties, but this is the Eastern Han Dynasty government in name only. This reason The functions of overseas imperial envoys directly appointed and appointed by the emperor have almost disappeared, and some only come to win over local governments and be loyal to the emperor's orders.
This Zhong Yao was born into a prominent family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his ancestors were known for their virtues for several generations. His great-grandfather Zhong Hao was "gentle and prudent, knowledgeable in poetry and rhythm, and taught more than a thousand students."
Zhong Yao was recommended as Xiaolian by Yin Xiu, the prefect of Yingchuan, and became Shangshu Lang, and served as county magistrate in Yangling (today's Gaoling, Shaanxi Province). Zhong Yao also served in the palace as Tingweizheng and Huangmen Shilang, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty After succeeding to the throne, he became an attendant of Emperor Xian. When Chang'an was occupied by various warlords and held Emperor Xian Liu Xie hostage, Zhong Yao and a group of loyal ministers spared no effort to persuade Emperor Xian to escape from Chang'an. This time Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was able to escape successfully. Li Jue and Guo Si's clutches, I heard that Zhong Yao had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Along the way, Zhong Yao was worshiped by Emperor Xian as the Censor Zhongcheng, and later moved to the imperial service until he became the Minister of Public Affairs.
Official Zhong Yao did a great job, but how could he go to Bingzhou and be with Han Sui again?
Let’s start with the flight of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty from Chang’an. In the spring of the second year of Xingping, when heroes from all walks of life in the Central Plains were busy fighting for each other, something happened in Chang’an between several Liangzhou generals who controlled the government. The fight was really lively.
The generals fighting in these dens were mainly Li Jue and Guo Si. How they came to fight is unclear. Anyway, these people just had enough to eat and had nothing to do. They were fighting each other fiercely. ah!
They just fought, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was in trouble. Let's say that the emperor was in Chang'an. Li Jue and Guo Si had a falling out. They each gathered tens of thousands of troops to fight under the city of Chang'an, causing great harm to the people of the capital. Fortunately, The people of Chang'an are used to it anyway. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was only fifteen years old, was also frightened by Dong Zhuo. In the few years since he ascended the throne as emperor, he also suffered various disasters and became more courageous. Anyway, today I am shooting. When an arrow entered the palace, tomorrow someone would kick him into the palace with open fire, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty would act as if nothing was wrong.
During that period, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty lived in Li Jue's military camp today. Guo Si lost sight of the emperor tomorrow and would come to snatch him away. Anyway, both sides claimed to save the emperor, and within a few days the two groups came to fight. He went there and burned the Chang'an Palace to the ground.
