Once the prelude to the war was kicked off, the drama began to unfold.
In the Qin army's camp, Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng received the signal and looked at each other. They stood too far back and could not see the battle ahead.
"Brother Cheng, can we start taking action?" Zhang Heng turned to look at Cheng Yi beside him and asked.
"Wait a little longer, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, let us wait for a while for the frontline charge. The war has just begun, so there is no need to be in such a hurry," Cheng Yi said.
After saying that, Cheng Yi turned to Dianwu behind him and said, "Dianwu, are you ready?"
Dian Wu nodded expressionlessly and said, "We are ready. We are just waiting for the general's order."
Cheng Yi said: "Very good, Zhang Xiu will cooperate with us in a while, but don't be serious, just show it to the Yan army. Let them know that we really launched a rebellion on the battlefield, then they will be desperate
If they pounce on us, we can use our tactics to defeat the Yan army in one fell swoop."
"Brother Cheng, you are still smart. Instead of blaming us, His Highness the Crown Prince praised us. When we complete this matter, His Highness the Crown Prince will probably give us two promotions," Zhang Heng said happily.
"flute--"
A beep sounded again, and the faces of Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng showed great joy. They looked at each other and said, "This is the third beep, which means that His Highness the Crown Prince has asked us to take action.
"
Zhang Hengdao: "Then what are you waiting for?"
Cheng Yi nodded, turned around, and said to his subordinates: "Brothers, the opportunity to make meritorious deeds has come. Let's work together..."
"General Cheng!"
A loud roar interrupted Cheng Yi's words, and a strong man wearing a battle armor and a helmet rushed over from the front.
Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng looked back and saw that it was Ma Wan, so they said in a friendly voice: "General Ma, is there something wrong?"
Ma Wan smiled, came to Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng, and said: "General Cheng, General Zhang, the prince has given you a task. I heard it is very important, and you can be promoted to a higher rank, right?"
"
As soon as Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng heard Ma Wan speak like this, they immediately understood what Ma Wan wanted to do. They both said in unison: "It's true."
Ma Wan said: "Oh, it seems that the prince still values you very much. However, I don't think you two can do it well, so I want to come over and help you."
"Hmph! You want to come over and get a share of the pie, right? Our two army horses are more than enough." Cheng Yi is very disgusted with Ma Wan's greed, and Ma Wan's nose is very sharp. Except for Ma Chao, Suo Xu, and Wang Shuang, this matter
, only the two of them knew how Ma Wan knew.
"Well, we are all brothers and wear the same pair of pants all the year round. Why should General Cheng be so decisive when he speaks? Isn't it great that we can make money together and gain merit together?" Ma Wan said with a playful smile, "Besides, if you want to make a move,
To make it bigger, wouldn’t the addition of my troops give the Yan army more trust? Don’t you think so?”
Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng looked at each other, both secretly surprised, how did Ma Wanshi know about this?
Ma Wan stood there with a smile on his face. Fortunately, he went to see Ma Chao last night and happened to hear the conversation in the tent. He felt that this was a good opportunity to make a contribution, so he decided to have a showdown with Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng today.
Then take some of the credit from the two of them.
"How did you know?" Cheng Yi looked at Ma Wan suspiciously.
"Haha, don't worry about it. In short, I am the only one who knows about it now. Of course, there is also Zhang Xiu who will cooperate with you. If you don't agree, then I will inform several other generals about this matter. I think they will
They are all happy to share the burden for the two generals." Ma Wan had a smile on his face from beginning to end, as if he had the whole matter under control.
"You... are so despicable!" Zhang Heng pointed at Ma Wan and said.
"Oh, don't say that. I'm doing this for your sake. Think about it. The other generals don't know about it. If you really do it, they will definitely think that you are rebelling and attack you. When the time comes,
You will definitely lose your troops, and you may even lose your life. Don’t forget, candidate, Yang Qiu is very happy to see you two killed."
Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng thought about it and felt that what Ma Wan said made sense. They had also thought about this issue. Ma Chao originally said that he would inform other generals about the matter last night, but later they considered the authenticity and put it aside.
However, they didn't know that Ma Chao's motive for doing this was very impure. Firstly, he wanted the Yan army to be fooled. Secondly, he also wanted to borrow the hands of other generals to kill Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng. Who asked them to surrender to the Yan army?
Yes, he deserves to be killed.
At that time, the two of them only cared about how they could earn great achievements and didn't care too much. When they suddenly heard Ma Wan's words, they couldn't help but feel that they were in danger, which gave them a sense of crisis. They were really afraid that others would really regard them as rebels.
The thief was killed.
They were all recruited by Ma Teng from all over Liangzhou and had good relations with Qiang and Hu people. Among them, Hou Xuan and Yang Qiu were the most powerful. In addition, the two of them had some quarrels with Hou Xuan and Yang Qiu, so
Both sides disliked each other, and over time, they secretly untied Liang Zi.
After careful consideration, Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng decided to agree with Ma Wan and asked together: "But even if you join, the other generals will still pose a threat to us without knowing..."
"Don't worry about this. You two just do what the prince wants. My soldiers and horses are right next to you two. If they want to come over, they have to pass through me. As long as I stop them with my soldiers and horses, you will be fine."
Ma Wan said.
"Okay, General Ma, that's it."
"flute--"
The fourth whistle sounded at this time. Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng knew that this was a signal urging them to act quickly. So, without saying a word, the two men immediately turned their horses' heads and started with their men.
Go towards Zhang Xiu and kill him.
Zhang Xiu waited anxiously in his camp. When he saw Cheng Yi in front, Zhang Heng had not taken any action, and the ringing sound had already sounded for the fourth time, so he couldn't help laughing and cursed: "Damn Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng,
What are you doing and why haven’t you taken action yet?”
"Kill--"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Heng immediately launched a "rebellion". A smile appeared on his face and he said: "Soldiers, proceed according to the original plan..."
However, before he could finish his words, Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng's two troops quickly came over to kill him. What surprised him was that all the cavalrymen with sabers took off their coats.
, revealing his torso wearing black armor, and once he rushed into his camp, he raised his knife and dropped it, and hundreds of heads fell to the ground.
"Damn it! What are you doing? Are you really making a fake show?" Zhang Xiu was surprised and couldn't help but cursed.
At this moment, Dian Wu brandished his saber that was still dripping with blood and charged toward Zhang Xiu menacingly.
Zhang Xiu immediately felt something unusual, wielding a gun with both hands, and yelled: "What are you doing? Didn't you agree..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw a hint of murderous intent flashing in Dian Wu's eyes. The sword flashed and the cold blade struck him quickly.
He was shocked. He had never expected to encounter such a thing, and he couldn't figure out what happened. In desperation, he instinctively used the silver snake spear to fight Dianwu's saber. However, Dianwu's saber was very strange.
, just about to collide with his silver snake gun, the blade suddenly changed and slashed diagonally towards his hand holding the silver snake gun.
He suddenly panicked, and hurriedly took his hands away from the silver snake gun. The silver snake gun fell directly to the ground, and at the same time he drew out the sword from his waist.
He had just raised the sword halfway when Dianwu's saber changed direction again and struck him on the head. In desperation, he hurriedly turned sideways and suddenly felt a chill and coldness on his shoulders.
The piercing blade cut through his shoulder, followed by severe pain and blood spurting out.
"Zheng!"
Zhang Xiu finally pushed away Dianwu's saber. From the corner of his eye, he saw that most of the soldiers around him were killed in the battle. He was almost surrounded. In addition, he was injured. Without thinking, he hurriedly used his sword in a flurry.
stabbing, avoiding Dian Wu, then turning the horse's head and running towards the back.
When he left, he didn't forget to look back at Dian Wu and engraved that face deeply in his mind. At the same time, when he saw Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng's cavalry massacring his unprepared subordinates, he thought
Said: "It seems that they are really rebelling..."
Things went beyond Cheng Yi's expectation. They had obviously told their subordinates that this was a show, but why did his subordinates still fake it and kill many of their own people? The two of them hurriedly
At the same time, he shouted: "What are you doing? This is a show. Stop it!"
After watching it, Ma Wan's eyes almost fell down. He opened his mouth wide and said to himself: "This acting is too realistic, isn't it? What does His Highness the Prince want to do?"
The commotion, screams, horses neighing, and shouting immediately spread in all directions from the rear of the Qin army's camp, immediately attracting the attention of several generals in front.
The candidate was wearing chain mail, a cooked copper helmet on his head, and holding a spear in his hand. He was waiting for Ma Chao's order to launch an army charge, but he didn't expect a commotion behind him. He hurriedly looked back and saw that it was coming.
Yi, Zhang Heng's men were chasing Zhang Xiu's men, but Ma Wan had the entire army spread out, but stood there and watched.
"drive!"
Without saying a word, the candidate shouted loudly, turned the horse's head, and ran quickly to the back. After passing through some people, he arrived at Ma Wan and asked hurriedly: "Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng rebelled, why did you stand still?
