"Lingju is a small town close to Wuwei and even Jiuquan. It is completely opposite to the direction to Jincheng. Once we choose this road, Ying Zheng's pursuers will never expect that they will be able to catch up with us!"
Having said this, Han Sui looked at everyone with a confident face, gave them a moment to think, and then continued, "At the same time, we also have a lot of troops stationed over there. As long as we can rest somewhere, we can find an opportunity to return."
Jincheng, both in terms of safety and efficiency, is much greater than returning to Jincheng rashly, do you understand?!"
"Your lord is wise!" After hearing Han Sui's explanation, Zhang Heng nodded in agreement on the surface with sincerity, but in his heart he felt a little strange about Han Sui's decision. "Lingju?! Where do we have a large number of troops stationed? That's weird.
, why do I always feel that something is not right with this old guy Han Sui these days.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I am the boss and I have accepted someone else as my lord, so I’d better be at peace. Otherwise, this old yin and that cold-faced man Cheng Gongying think I’m restless and try to tease me!”
Although Zhang Heng noticed something strange at this time, he never imagined that even though Jincheng had 30,000 elites and was led by Cheng Gongying, Han Sui's first counselor, it would still be defeated by the combination of Meng Tian and Jia Xu.
He took it down easily, and everything Han Sui said was just to temporarily stabilize them.
He thought deeply and continued, "Lord, although we cannot return directly to Jincheng for the time being, we feel that we can first send a dozen brothers to disperse to Jincheng.
One is to send a message to Gong Ying, asking him to be on guard against Ying Zheng's army, and the other is to let him know our situation so that he can be prepared to respond to us.
And the brothers are all traveling alone, so as long as they be careful and find more trails, even if Ying Zheng sends an army to follow and kill them, the chance of catching all the brothers is probably not high, what do you think?"
"Yeah! You look at the arrangements!" Han Sui nodded. At this time, Han Sui didn't care about this. As long as Zhang Heng and the others didn't suspect anything else, they could obey orders obediently and follow him to his residence with peace of mind.
After he used his remaining prestige in Lingju to reassemble a large army, what he would do next would not all depend on his own will. Even if Zhang Heng and others knew the true situation and were dissatisfied by then,
So what. In the end, he had to obey his orders obediently and follow him to Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties in order to make a comeback.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Just when Ying Zige and Han Sui were fighting, in Han Sui's camp a hundred miles away, Ma Chao also led tens of thousands of troops to carry out a second brutal and inhumane attack on Han Sui's defeated generals who had just been devastated by the flood.
Damage. Countless Qiang Han soldiers who survived by chance had no time to rejoice before they fell into the terror created by Ma Chao's army again.
"Have you found Old Thief Han?" Ma Chao asked Pang De and Meng Wu with a stern look on an assault boat.
"No." The two said to Ma Chaoyi with their hands raised.
"Did the old thief die in the flood at night?" Ma Chao couldn't help but be a little confused. Since the flood calmed down, Ma Chao followed Meng Wu's suggestion and organized tens of thousands of troops into groups of assault boats, traveling in threes and threes.
It can be said that the entire Han Sui camp, including a radius of more than a thousand meters, has been swept seven or eight times.
However, in addition to killing many remnants of the Qiang soldiers and taking in many prisoners, the highest-ranking one was a second-rate general who called himself Yang Qiu and was captured on a high ground above the water. There were also several Qiang tribesmen.
Handsome. Not to mention that Han Sui himself was not found at all, and even the personal guards around Han Sui who were always with him were not found.
"A guy like Yang Qiu can survive. With Old Thief Han's cunningness, he can't just die like this. Keep searching for me!" Ma Chao said in a solemn tone after pondering for a while and looking at the gradually brightening sky in front of him.
.
"No!" Pang De and Meng Wu looked at each other and nodded. Knowing that Ma Chao was not in a good mood at this time, the two of them did not rush to persuade him. Anyway, there were indeed some places on the battlefield that had not been cleaned up, so
Let’s search again and wait until Ma Chao calms down.
With this in mind, the two men immediately dispersed their troops and continued to sweep away Han Sui's camp and all the surrounding places where there might be remnants of soldiers. Of course, Han Sui's figure was nowhere to be found, but they took the opportunity to gather together many soldiers.
Fewer prisoners and supplies.
"Major General, my brothers have swept this area no less than ten times, but except for Yang Qiu and a few Qiang Qushuai, most of them are just some lucky soldiers and crab generals who survived.
Instead of continuing to search for a needle in a haystack in this turbid water, the general thought that it would be better to return to the camp to report to the lord, and at the same time seal the place, and wait until the water recedes before searching again, which would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"
Time passed, and more than half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. The sky had basically brightened up, and a red sun was gradually rising in the eastern sky. Pang De returned to Ma Chao and said with a fist in his arms.
To be honest, Ma Chao can be said to have grown up with Pang De, and Pang De, who is several years older than Ma Chao, has always regarded Ma Chao as his biological brother.
He has also seen Ma Chao's changes and efforts during this period. It can be said that since Ma Teng's death, Ma Chao has changed day by day, especially after joining Ying Zige's command, his changes have become faster.
.
Now Pang De can say that Ma Chao is top-notch in terms of his own strength, ability, courage, and even his control of his emotions. He has already left his peers far behind. Compared with some ancient famous generals, he is already at the top.
Not to mention giving in too much.
Therefore, when Pound talks to Ma Chao now, he rarely puts himself in a high position and treats him with an instructive attitude and tone, but more often puts Ma Chao first. Because Pound believes
, Ma Chao can already make the most appropriate and appropriate decision.
"Old thief Han!" Ma Chao stood at the front of the assault boat, looking at the sparkling water in front of him under the red sun. He was silent. His whole body was like an ice sculpture, exuding a cold air.
good
Jiufang finally raised his head again, looked at Pang De and said, "Ling Ming, my lord said before he came that he would be waiting for us to return home in honor in the camp. Now, although Han Sui has been defeated, he has not been able to take his head to the lord. Is it really possible?"
Is this considered an honorable return?"
"Young General" Pound bowed and wanted to speak.
"Okay, let's do as you say!" Waving his hand, Ma Chao stopped Pang De who was about to speak, "Whether Old Thief Han is dead in the water or not, unless he runs away in advance, his tail will show up sooner or later.
, I can afford to wait.”
"Okay, go give the order! Don't keep the lord waiting too long!" Ma Chao said calmly.
