Chapter 100 The situation in the world (IV)
When Dong Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he agreed to follow Li Ru's plan! Li Ru got the order and suggested to Dong Zhuo: "The mountain is 200 miles west of Chang'an. The mountain road is steep and the throat leading to Chang'an. But Guo Si and Fan Chou each brought a 50,000 army here to defend it. The rest of the troops were all withdrawn, clearing all the food, leaving the horses empty, and the two generals Han. In addition, this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui and the others suddenly advanced, which was a bit strange. We should not know about Liu Bin's matter. I'm afraid there will be their inner support in Chang'an City! The Prime Minister must be careful!" Dong Zhuo was very happy, but he heard that there was an inner supporter, but he had a sinister face and told Li Ru to arrest these people to serve as a warning! Then he asked Guo Si and Fan Chou to follow Li Ru's plan to handle it!
At the beginning, Ma Teng and Han Sui slowed down. They took step-by-step strategies and slowly headed towards Chang'an! But slowly they felt a little overwhelmed! Just as Li Ru said, they were not Liu Bin, Xiliang was not Youzhou. They did not have as rich family background as Liu Bin, and Xiliang did not have as much money and food as Youzhou. They could gather 500,000 troops, but they could not afford to support so many people! You should know that the consumption of food from the army outside was incomparable to those stationed in the local area. This required a large number of porters to continuously pick up grain from their backs.
The food was transported. Along the way, the porters also needed to eat, and on the way back, they also needed some food rations. Therefore, the loss of military rations was sea. When sending troops, the loss of transportation of military rations was generally about 70% alone. If the journey was still far, the loss would be even greater. Especially now that Ma Teng and Han Sui had borrowed 150,000 troops from the Qiang people, the burden would be even heavier. Originally, they did not bring much food and grass, and they planned to strengthen some food and grass from Dong Zhuo, but now Dong Zhuo also had a plan to strengthen the walls and clear the fields with them, so they were a little crazy!
The two of them discussed that this would not be a solution! If they continued like this, before they could arrive in Chang'an, their food would be consumed, and then the 500,000 army would be defeated without attacking! That would be a waste of money Dong Zhuo! If they retreated, they would not be willing to accept it! If they finally seized a great opportunity and did not quickly destroy Dong Zhuo, they would be in trouble after Dong Zhuo fully reacted! Moreover, this time they sent troops to consume the food and grass they had reserved. If they didn't get a little from Dong Zhuo, even if they went back, their army would not be able to hold on! What's more, they borrowed a 150,000 army from the Qiang tribe. When they came, they had already promised to pay them how much food. If they retreated now, how could they take out these food and grass! If they didn't fulfill their promise, these Qiang tribes would not make a fuss! So retreating is absolutely impossible!
Since the retreat cannot be done, we can only grit our teeth and continue to attack! But we cannot erode step by step like now! We need to advance quickly and reach Chang'an as soon as possible! So Ma Teng and Han Sui's army advanced quickly and rushed towards Chang'an! At the beginning of the journey, there were no enemies, but when we were still hundreds of miles away, they encountered a group of people, with a small number of people, only 20,000. These people were originally retreating to the predetermined ambush place according to Dong Zhuo's order, but when they received the information, they had just set off, but they happened to be encountered by the coalition forces of Ma Teng and Han Sui! Are there any amazing people in these 20,000 troops? The number is much smaller than that of Ma Teng and others, so the busy army killed the 20,000 people with one charge!
After destroying the 20,000 Dong Zhuo's troops, Ma Teng and Han Sui were overjoyed! They thought Dong Zhuo had not discovered their actions yet! The reason why there was no Dong Zhuo's army in front was that Dong Zhuo transferred all his troops to Bingzhou to deal with Liu Bin's army! At the beginning, they received the news that Dong Zhuo had only arranged 100,000 troops on the Bingzhou border, which may have been because Dong Zhuo did this to confuse them! After thinking of this, the coalition forces accelerated their pace and rushed to Chang'an! They wanted to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and seize Chang'an as soon as possible, so that Dong Zhuo would not really find them, and that would be troublesome! So along the way, they were only concerned about rushing, and the scouts they sent at the beginning were too lazy to send!
As a result, after the order was passed, the army advanced rapidly for dozens of miles, and the troops arrived near Yuji Mountain. Han Sui saw the mountain of Yuji Mountain and took a breath. The mountain road was too rugged and narrow. If there were ambushing troops here, wouldn't it be a big loss for his troops to walk on the mountain road? However, Ma Teng comforted him and said that Dong Zhuo had not discovered their whereabouts yet, how could he set up an ambush here? What's more, even if they set up an ambush, they had 500,000 troops here, so what's wrong with Han Sui thinking about this? However, Han Sui still sent some soldiers and horses to visit him out of his nature. As a result, he didn't find any abnormal movement. Han Sui also asked the troops to advance with confidence.
However, just as Ma Teng and Han Sui's vanguard were about to pass the mountain road, a force suddenly flashed out, and shot arrows at Ma Teng and Han Sui's vanguard. Then, a huge army blocked the entire road. At the same time, there were ambushing soldiers on the top of Mount Yushan. A large number of rolling wood, stones, gray bottles and other objects were desperately smashing down the mountain like they didn't want money. Ma Teng and Han Suizhong ambushed. Dong Zhuo's army suddenly emerged from the mountain!
But as Ma Teng said, they had an army of 500,000. Even if Dong Zhuo and the others were ambushed, they could not destroy them all in one go! Without Ma Teng, Han Sui lost much vitality. He just made Ma Teng, and the tens of thousands of people who entered the valley could not be returned. However, the losses of more than tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were not much more, but it was enough to make Ma Teng, Han Sui furious.
!But they also knew that this was not the time to shirk responsibility from each other. Since Dong Zhuo set up an ambush here, it means that Chang'an's troops are indeed insufficient now. Otherwise, with Dong Zhuo's personality, they would not be able to fight with them! Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui's confidence was even more complete. They tried their best to send troops to attack Yushan. Unfortunately, Yushan has a steep road and a narrow road. One man is at the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it!
And who is Li Ru? That is a vicious person comparable to the poisonous man Jia Xu! Since he already knew the news of Ma Teng and Han Sui and his army, he set up an ambush, it is natural that there is no way to only have such a little means! It is impossible to kill and kill the Ma Teng coalition tens of thousands of people and end! He must have a backup plan! Ma Teng and Han Suikong have many soldiers, but they have no way to fight all these troops. Guo Si and Fan Chou only need to send a team of troops to block the mountain road of Yushan, so that Ma Teng and Han Suikong can't get out. Moreover, on the open ground outside the mountain road, Guo Si and Fan Chou also arranged a large number of archers as support, and the peaks on both sides were all occupied by Guo Si and Fan Chou. How many soldiers were sent to attack Ma Teng and Han Sui, and how many soldiers would die in a bad life.
During this period, Ma Teng and Han Sui also thought of many ways to conquer Yuxi Mountain. However, loudly scolded and challenged them. They just thought they were singing and ignored them. They walked around Yuxi Mountain. Yuxi Mountain had a long mountain and no problem to go across. If you want to go around, it was simply a dream. Moreover, even if you go around, Dong Zhuo's army stationed in Yuxi Mountain would always threaten their transportation routes and hometown. That would never work.
As for not walking on the mountain road, secretly going up the mountain and breaking through Guo Si and Fan Chou's military camps, Ma Teng and Han Sui just thought about it and just forgot it. Not to mention Ma Teng, Han Sui's subordinates are all grassland soldiers and are not good at climbing mountains and ridges. Even if they can climb over mountains and ridges one by one, they will have a large number of soldiers guarding it from such a steep mountain. That will be a life-and-death life, and there will be no return. After losing more than 100,000 troops and Han Sui had to stop the attack and remained there.
However, due to the large reduction of troops in Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops, he unexpectedly sent Ma Teng and Han Sui to support the military rations for more than half a month. However, this means that Ma Teng and Han Sui could not support the military rations. Half a month later, Ma Teng and Han Sui could no longer support the military rations. He had to accept the fact that the trip failed and set up the camp and retreat. When retreating, Han Sui also learned from the past lessons. He was afraid that Dong Zhuo's army would pursue him later, so he arranged for Ma Chao to lead a 50,000 army to cut off the rear.
But will Li Ru's plan be over? Of course not! If there is only such a little preparation, then Li Ru is not Li Ru! Not long after Ma Teng and his friends retreated, they received letters from ministers who were insiders in Chang'an City! The letter said that after Dong Zhuo saw that they retreated, in order to speed up the attack on Bingzhou, the army was heading towards Bingzhou! Now Chang'an City is very empty! Let them seize this great opportunity! This is a letter they risked their lives to send out! There will be no such opportunity in the future! Moreover, the letter also said that when Ma Teng and Han Sui arrived in Chang'an, when they attacked Chang'an, they would cooperate with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others, turn against Chang'an, open the city gate, welcome Ma Teng, Han Sui and the others into the city.
