- At that moment, Ma Chao led an army of 50,000 to 60,000 to surround Tianshui. How could Huang An miss this great opportunity? However, Li You was afraid that the families in the city would rebel, so he sent soldiers to guard outside the houses of each family as a precaution. Huang An always acted cautiously, so he gathered his old subordinates first that night to discuss in private. It is not advisable for everyone to speak late, lest they have long nights and many dreams, they should act quickly. So Huang An decided to wait until the third day of the night to rush out of the house, set fire to the city, and take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate to meet Ma Chao's troops. After the discussion was concluded, everyone dispersed and made preparations. In Huang'an's old tribe, there was a man named Chen Kai. This person is a detail arranged by Li You. Since Xiliang fell into Wenhan's hands, Wenhan had not been wary of the remnants of the Ma family and had secretly sent Li You and Zhong Yao to investigate. Li You knew Huang An's identity clearly. However, at that time, Li You wanted to stabilize people's hearts but was afraid of ruthless attacks, forcing the remaining Ma family members to join forces to rebel. So they just sent people to monitor secretly. Huang An never expected that among his trusted subordinates, some of them would become the secretaries of the Western Tang Dynasty. Chen Kai learned about Huang An's plan and came to report to Li You. When Li You heard this, his eyes shone with a cold light and he sneered, so he taught Chen Kai to do this. Chen Kai accepted the order, received a heavy reward, and left happily.
On the night of the next day, Huang An was about to have an attack, and suddenly there was a fire in the house. The rebels in the mansion were shocked, and suddenly a group of soldiers rushed into the Huang Mansion. Huang An's expression suddenly changed when he saw it, he looked back at the people behind him and shouted.
"Who is it?! Who has taken refuge in the Tang thief!!!"
Before Huang An finished speaking, Chen Kai suddenly had a violent attack beside him. He pulled out a dagger from his arms, held Huang An's body down with one hand, and grabbed the dagger with the other hand and stabbed Huang An in the stomach. Blood flew out, Huang An opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief, shock and anger. It can be seen that Chen Kai is regarded as his right-hand brother, and the two of them are like brothers. Huang An never expected that Chen Kai would betray him and deal him a cruel blow! !
Huang An grasped Chen Kai's shoulders tightly with both hands, his mouth was full of blood, and he murmured but could not utter a word, but the desolate look in his eyes said everything. Chen Kai's face was cold, as if the person who died in front of him was just an important ant. Chen Kai pushed with both hands and Huang An's body fell to the ground. Only then did everyone react, and they all became furious and swarmed towards Chen Kai, shouting and cursing at the same time.
But Chen Kai was very nimble, his steps flashed, and he retreated violently. Li Feng saw this and led his troops to kill him. The Tang soldiers who rushed from all sides were like tigers, wolves and evil beasts, killing the remaining Huang An soldiers without the ability to fight back. The screams were endless, and the Huang Mansion Hall became a purgatory on earth. Hundreds of remnants survived. From then on, the Huang Mansion became the Chen Mansion. Chen Kai got what he wanted and took Huang An's concubine as his wife and took away the family property in his house. Of course, this is all for later.
The world is in decline, and people are indifferent. There are martyrs who are loyal to the Lord, and there are also those who turn their backs on the Lord. The smart thing about Chen Kai is that he chose the right master, and thus got wealth and the woman he wanted. Li You did not report the truth about Huang An's death. He only said that Huang's mansion unfortunately caught fire and Huang An died in the fire. Now that Tianshui City is in danger, Huang An's death is naturally not that simple. There were many sophisticated people in the city, and they could tell at a glance that Li You was responsible for the murder. But no one expected that Chen Kai would betray Huang An. The deadline agreed by Ma Chao has now come. After this day, Ma Chao will attack the city gate tomorrow.
On that day, Chen Kai and several of his confidants pretended to be scouts for the Tang soldiers, but they secretly sneaked out of the city. The barbarian troops were all within a radius of ten miles outside the city. Chen Kai was soon captured by the barbarian scouts. Chen Kai hurriedly told the barbarians that he was an old friend of the barbarian king. He sneaked out of the city this time to report important matters. The barbarians heard this and quickly took Chen Kai and others to see Ma Chao without daring to miss the mark. Ma Chao felt very impatient when he saw that there was no movement in the city for three days in a row. At this moment, the scout escorted Chen Kai to see him. Ma Chao had a vague impression of Chen Kai and remembered that he was a subordinate of Huang An, his general. Ma Chao's face lit up and he quickly taught the sergeant to untie Chen Kai. Chen Kai knelt on the ground, kowtowed and cried, telling Ma Chao that Huang An wanted to rebel and echoed the general. Unexpectedly, he acted carelessly and the news leaked out. Huang An was killed by Li You last night. He and others pretended to be in agreement and saved their lives. Fortunately, he has an acquaintance in the army. He pretended to be out of the city today and came here to tell him about this. At the same time, he told Ma Chao that Huang An's death had made people in the city angry and resentful. He had gathered more than a thousand people in the city and agreed that on the third day of the night, they would rise up in groups, set fire to the city, and take advantage of the chaos to seize the city gate as a Internal response!
When Ma Chao heard this, his lion eyes opened and he suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, but he suppressed it tightly, pretending to be sad and talking to Chen Kai.
"Huang Gong treats me like a son and is loyal. Being killed by a thief this time really hurts me!! This is an irreconcilable hatred, and I will definitely avenge it!! You should be careful to go back. I will prepare troops tonight." Ma, if you see a fire in the city, lead your troops in immediately! If you can capture Li Zhongwen, you will cut off his head to sacrifice the spirit of Mr. Huang!"
Ma Chao gritted his teeth as he spoke, as if he was in pain of losing his father. Chen Kai also cried while acting, and both of their scenes were extremely realistic. Ma Chao then appeased Chen Kai and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold and another hundred taels of gold.Chen Kai went back to clear things up. Chen Kai knelt down and thanked him, then left the stronghold and returned. As soon as Chen Kai left, Mrs. Zhu Rong, who had been watching from the sidelines, frowned and said coldly.
"I think this person has a sinister look on his face and doesn't look like a good person! Your Majesty, please be careful and don't fall for the villain's tricks!!"
When Ma Chao heard this, he was not happy and shouted with a straight face.
"Chen Kai once fought with me through life and death, and he is my old Ma clan. Now I am leading the army to recapture Liangzhou, and I need the help of my old army. If I am on guard at all times, how can Xiliang be cleared at all times!!?"
Seeing that Ma Chao was really angry, Mrs. Zhu Rong opened her mouth, but she still held it back. Even though Mrs. Zhu Rong is as tough as a tiger, she is as well-behaved as a rabbit when facing Ma Chao. As the saying goes, one thing can defeat another, and it can be seen from now on. Ma Chao doesn't listen to good advice, but he has deep faith in Chen Kai, the sycophant in his relationship. It's really a pity that things in the world are normal.
Yelvzong narrowed his eyes and seemed to be suspicious of Chen Kaisheng, but he didn't dare to tell him directly, so he raised his hands and said.
"Li Zhongwen has always been cheating and treacherous. Your Majesty, you must be careful tonight."
Hearing this, Ma Chao sneered, his lion eyes shone brightly, he raised his big hand and shouted in a deep voice.
"Hmph! You need to worry more. A certain army has ten times the number of soldiers and horses of the other army. The soldiers and civilians in the city have been frightened for a long time. Chen Kai and more than a thousand people are responding internally. Tonight, when they see a fire, they raise their troops and rush in. , Even if Li Zhongwen has the wisdom of heaven and earth, it is difficult to fly!"
Ma Chao¡¯s decision has been made and the generals will say no more. At the same time, after Chen Kai returned to Tianshui City, he rushed to report to Li You, saying that Ma Chao believed it and everything was settled! Li You was overjoyed and taught Chen Kai to act according to his plan, and then mobilized his troops to make preparations.
It was about the beginning of the day and the moonlight was not yet up. The cool breeze blew, giving people a chilling feeling. Tianshui stood between heaven and earth like a giant beast. The city was eerily quiet and eerie. Ma Chao had early ordered all his troops to eat and rest, and waited for the fire to start, so he swarmed in and charged into Tianshui City. The barbarian soldiers from all tribes are gearing up and waiting to fight. Gradually, the night became darker, the moonlight in the sky was faint, and the world became groggy. Suddenly, just after three o'clock, Tianshui City, which was originally silent, was shaken by an overwhelming cry of killing. From time to time, the originally dark night was illuminated by streaks of sky-wide firelight, shining as brightly as day. Ma Chao looked overjoyed when he saw the fire raging in the city and it was all red. With an order, more than 50,000 barbarians rushed to Tianshui City. Ma Chao was the first to bear the brunt, leading a group of soldiers and horses to charge towards the west gate. I saw shouts and chaos on the city, torches burning on the gates, and hundreds of strong men fighting on the city. Ma Chao hurried over and shouted to open the door. Amidst the fierce fighting sounds, the city gate suddenly opened, and then with a loud bang, the suspension bridge lowered. Ma Chao suddenly became ecstatic and raced in first, while the barbarians behind him quickly moved forward and filed in. Ma Chao galloped on his horse and went straight to the state government to kill. Along the way, he only thought about how to capture Li You and the fierce man Wang Shuang, but he didn't know that there was no one on the road. There were flames all around. Suddenly, Ma Chao finally realized it and reined in his horse suddenly. He saw people around him. Ma Chao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately guessed that he had been tricked. He quickly turned his horse back and shouted.
"Retreat!!!"
Unexpectedly, just as Ma Chao spoke, a cannon rang out in the state government office. Suddenly, an unknown number of soldiers and horses rushed out from the four gates in the southeast and northwest, and seized the city gates. They unleashed fierce fire and raging flames rose into the sky. The golden drums sounded together, and the shouts were like a river boiling over the sea. Many of the barbarian soldiers who entered the city were unable to rescue them. Seeing that the city gate behind them was covered with fire, how could they come out of conflict? ? The barbarian soldiers outside the city saw the fire inside the door was as fierce as a tiger, how could they dare to surrender and risked their lives to fight with each other? The four gates of raging fire were like a chasm, blocking the barbarian soldiers inside and outside the city, preventing them from responding to each other. At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses came out of the east alley, and a group of soldiers and horses came out of the west alley, and they all came to attack and kill them. The barbarian soldiers were panicked and were caught off guard. In an instant, they were defeated like a mountain. Arrows fell like arrows on every street. The barbarian soldiers did not know where the ambush was and fled randomly. However, the Tang soldiers took advantage of it and killed everyone. In the prefecture and county, the arrows were as dense as a violent storm. Ma Chao drew his gun to block them, only to hear someone shouting from upstairs.
"Ma Mengqi, you fell into the trap. Now the city gates are sealed by the fire. You are already a turtle in the urn and a tiger in the trap. Why don't you quickly dismount and surrender? I will plead with the King of Tang and forgive you for your martial arts. If you are sincere If you like each other, you can also be crowned king!"
The person who shouted was naturally Li You, but Ma Chao didn't believe it. Wenhan hated him so much that he couldn't tolerate him. On the contrary, Ma Chao also wished he was angry with Wen Han, and would never be sincere to him. Ma Chao knew that he was at odds with the Western Tang Dynasty, so he turned around and left without listening to Li You's lies. Tang soldiers swarmed out of the county government office, and Li Feng led his troops to kill them. Ma Chao turned to the north gate, and a group of men and horses came out from the road to stop and fight. When life and death were at stake, Ma Chao also showed terrifying bravery. He suddenly charged wildly and killed them all. He turned sharply and took the south gate, when another Tang soldier blocked the way.
Ma Chao glared angrily and gritted his teeth, with a ferocious face, roared loudly, and suddenly ran wildly. That one on Ma Chao¡¯s handThe brocade and silver lion tooth spears turned into streaks of silver light, and kept flying so fast that it was difficult to catch them with the naked eye. Between the lightning and flint, Ma Chao broke through in a bright bloody light. Even so, there were many wounds all over his body, and his shirt was stained with blood. Ma Chao broke into two formations in a row, and the fighting was so fierce and terrible that it was impossible to describe it in words at the moment. It can only be said that Ma Chao felt like he had broken through a dragon's pond and a tiger's den this time.
