Di Dao's existence made Han Sui feel as if she had eaten a dead fly.
The army headed east? March into Sanfu, Guanzhong?
Regardless of Ma Feng's words, Di Dao had an army of 30,000 men and could cause trouble behind Han Sui's back at any time.
Beat Di Dao? He couldn't get it down, so it was really uncomfortable.
During the confrontation between the two sides, one person couldn't sit still anymore. This person was Gai Xun.
November 184.
Gai Xun recruited tens of thousands of troops in Long County.
They sent troops from Long County and took down Hanyang County, which had 8,000 soldiers, in one day and one night.
Ji County was the largest city in Hanyang County. It was the main route for Han Sui to advance eastward, and its strategic location was extremely important.
Moreover, Ji County was not too far from Di Dao.
They formed a resonance with Di Dao and attacked from the front and back.
Even Han Sui would be tired of dealing with it, not to mention advancing to the east. It was impossible.
Han Sui panicked.
He immediately sent his army to Ji County, wanting to take back Ji County before Gai Xun could gain a stable footing.
Gai Xun was originally Zuo Chang's main clerk.
When Zuo Chang led his army to attack Jin City, he left Gai Xun to take care of the affairs in Long County.
Who knew that Zuo Chang would be defeated so quickly?
Gai Xun had no choice but to take on the task of recruiting troops to resist Han Sui's attack on Long County before Luoyang sent a new governor.
After stabilizing their position in Long County and gaining the support of the large clans, they sent troops to Ji County.
Gai Xun was originally from Liangzhou. After becoming a noble, he had quite a reputation in Liangzhou.
After taking down Ji County, many large clans responded and quickly expanded their forces.
When Han Sui arrived at Ji County, Gai Xun had already recruited nearly twenty thousand people.
After Han Sui's army set out, Ma Feng immediately sent people out of the city to investigate the situation.
Ma Feng knew that Gai Xun had taken over Ji County a few days later than Han Sui.
After discussing with Ma Yi and Pang De, Ma Feng decided to send troops to help Gai Xun.
Now that he finally had an ally to relieve Di Dao's pressure, Ma Feng naturally could not let Gai Xun lose too quickly.
However, sending troops to help in battle also required a strategy.
The tens of thousands of people under Ma Feng were all his precious babies. He could not bear to part with any of them.
Therefore, Ma Feng sent out 5,000 cavalry.
Moreover, it was a light cavalry with one person and two riders. What they wanted was mobility.
These were all the cavalrymen under Ma Feng's command: 3,000 Qiang cavalrymen, 1,000 'Back Wei Camp' cavalrymen, and 1,000 cavalrymen who had been selected.
Di Dao only had 10,000 warhorses in total, and every death meant one less warhorse. Ma Feng was a treasure.
Ma Feng personally led the army, leaving Second Uncle Ma Yi and Pang De to guard Di Dao.
He led the troops out of Di Dao and stationed them in Zhang County, which was not far from Ji County, giving Han Sui a pincer attack.
Han Sui naturally had scouts as well, and he received the news after Ma Feng left the city.
After learning that Ma Feng was stationed in Zhang County, Han Sui felt a headache.
It seemed that 5,000 cavalry was not a lot.
However, if Ma Feng suddenly came to kick Han Sui's butt at the critical moment of attacking Ji County, it would be enough to make Han Sui suffer.
Han Sui immediately decided to lead 7,000 cavalrymen to hold off Ma Feng while the rest of the army continued to attack Ji County day and night.
Han Sui was truly determined to take down Ji County and Gai Xun no matter how many casualties there were.
After Ma Feng learned that Han Sui had come personally, he did not fight Han Sui head-on. Instead, he led Han Sui around in circles.
From Zhang County to the main road.
From the mansion road to the west county of Hanyang County.
From West County to Wangheng County.
They kept circling around Ji County, not far from it, using this method to put pressure on Han Sui's army.
Ma Feng pushed the mobility of the cavalry to the extreme.
Han Sui had been eating dust behind Ma Feng since he was riding two light cavalry.
Han Sui gritted his teeth in anger.
On the second day after Ma Feng was stationed in Wangheng County, the scouts he sent reported that Ji County had been breached.
This shocked Ma Feng.
Ji County had 20,000 people, and the city walls were tall and sturdy. If it was just a simple defense, it should not be a problem for a few months.
How many days had it been? They attacked?
Gai Xun even had the urge to kill, not because he didn't defend well.
It was because there was a traitor in his army.
The biggest clan in Ji County had sponsored five thousand people when Gai Xun arrived.
In the end, Han Sui turned against him and secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night.
That night, Ji County was in chaos.
The sounds of battle resounded throughout Ji County. Gai Xun fought for the entire night.
However, Han Sui's army was simply too large.
Gai Xun led the remaining three thousand men out of Ji County and headed east, wanting to retreat to Long County.
But would Han Sui give him the chance?
After Ji County fell, Han Sui stopped chasing Ma Feng and joined forces with the army.
He led the army to pursue Gai Xun.
Gai Xun fought and ran along the way. In just half a day, nearly a thousand people died.
Ma Feng, who was in Wangheng County, was very conflicted after hearing the news.
Han Sui had at least tens of thousands of troops. His five thousand cavalry were going to rescue them?
Not to mention whether they could save Gai Xun, at least many people would die.
But if he didn't go and save Gai Xun, he would be the only one left in Liangzhou to fend off Han Sui.
If Han Sui occupied Long County, the gateway to Liangzhou, then it would be like closing the door and beating a dog.
Long Pass was one of the four passes in Guanzhong, and its strategic position was extremely important.
You can send troops to the three auxiliary areas.
if we retreat, we can occupy Longguan.
Once the barrier was in place, ten thousand people would not be able to open it.
