Chapter 592 The Decisive Battle Is Imminent

With the complete loss of Hulao Pass, the connection between Luoyang and Guandong was completely cut off.

Before this, the Luoyang front had always relied on the material support of Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Xuzhou.

There were hundreds of thousands of troops fighting on the front line, and the daily consumption of materials was huge, so Luoyang could not supply them. So after a while, Guandong had to transport a large amount of supplies to the front line.

But all this ended with the change of flags on Hulao Pass. Luoyang completely became an isolated city, and Jiang Ji could not leave even if he wanted to.

But at the moment, Ma Su's defense of Hulao Pass was not reliable. On the night when he controlled Hulao Pass, Cao Wei's reinforcements from Hebei arrived at the pass.

If Ma Su was a little later, the Cao Wei reinforcements from Hebei would probably rush into the Luoyang Basin.

However, although the main force of the Wei army was successfully blocked outside the pass. But with the arrival of follow-up troops, the pressure also came to Ma Su.

Obviously, Cao Wei respected Ma Su very much, and the troops coming to Luoyang to assist this time were also huge. The total strength of this Hebei army was about 80,000, led by old acquaintance Fei Yao and Cao Wei's Situ Gao Rou.

"Tsk... This pseudo-Wei really gave me face." Ma Su looked at the mighty Wei army outside Hulao Pass and couldn't help but sighed in amazement.

He brought a total of more than 100,000 troops on this eastern expedition. As a result, Cao Wei not only deployed 150,000 troops in Luoyang, but also transferred about 100,000 reinforcements from Guandong.

The entire Guandong successively raised 250,000 troops, just because of his reputation, Ma Su, and it must be said that this pomp was really big.

"General, the enemy is so powerful, and it is probably difficult for us to defend Hulao Pass with only this little force. I hope the general will think twice..." Ma Su's personal guards stepped forward at this time and reported to Ma Su carefully.

As subordinates who have followed Ma Su for many years, they know very well how reckless their general is. At present, the enemy army is huge in number, but the quality of their troops is not strong.

So they are really afraid that Ma Su, who is still seriously injured, will rush down with such a small number of people. Even if they win, it will be very stressful.

Fortunately, this time Ma Su has learned his lesson and has no intention of taking risks. Facing the advice of his subordinates, Ma Su just waved his hand and smiled,

"Don't worry, although I am reckless, I am not stupid. In this case, I will not rush up by myself."

"Now Jiang Wei has led his troops to capture Dagu Pass and blocked all the passes in the south of Luoyang. I have written a letter and ordered him to lead his troops as soon as possible to guard Hulao Pass with me."

In fact, taking Hulao Pass is equivalent to conquering Luoyang Yin. However, Jiang Ji is a diehard of Cao Wei after all, and he may not surrender after he has no hope.

So the next step is to block the road to the Luoyang Basin and slowly wear Jiang Ji to death.

Ma Su is waiting for follow-up reinforcements, and Fei Yao did not dare to send troops after knowing that Ma Su was guarding Hulao Pass in person. The two sides were deadlocked here and confronted each other for several days.

Soon, Ma Su's request for help was responded to. Jiang Wei, who was responsible for the attack on the south, quickly led his troops to come. However, what surprised Ma Su was that there was another person who came to help at the same time as Jiang Wei.

"Xiu Ran? Didn't I ask you to be in charge of Luoyang? Why did you come to Hulao Pass?" Ma Su looked at Liu Yin who came uninvited and frowned and asked.

"General, someone took over the siege of Luoyang. Deng Ai and Zhang Yi surrounded Luoyang together with him. I was sent here for nothing." Liu Yin spread his hands and explained to Ma Su.

"Someone took over? Who dares to snatch the military power of my people?" Ma Su could not sit still, and he slammed the table and said angrily.

"It's the Shangshu Ling, Mr. Huang Gongheng." Liu Yin replied without changing his face.

"Oh, it's okay then." Ma Su then sat down again, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

Huang Quan is not only one of us, but also has a long history. The most important thing is that he represents Zhuge Liang's opinion.

Besides, Huang Quan himself is not a person who likes to fight for power. He came in person, which means... a certain Han Prime Minister is worried about his death.

"By the way, Envoy Huang asked me to give you a warning. If you don't want Prime Minister Zhuge to come and beat you in person, be honest and don't joke with your life..." Liu Yin's mouth twitched, and he looked like he was having a hard time holding back his laughter.

All Han people know that the General of the Cavalry is fearless and invincible. But Prime Minister Zhuge can easily suppress him with just one Kongming Zen.

There is no such thing as invincibility, it's just that one thing subdues another.

"Fuck, Gongheng is not decent, he only knows how to tell tales..." Ma Su rolled his eyes and was very dissatisfied with Huang Quan's complaint.

"By the way, General, I brought all the cavalry here. And your old Longwu Yicong has also been brought here. They miss you very much." Liu Yin continued. With Liu Yin's reminder, Ma Su remembered his old subordinates.

In the previous Guanzhong War, a large number of Han soldiers transformed into elite divisions under the leadership of Ma Su. Among them, Ma Su's headquarters, Longwu Yicong, became the most glorious professional armored cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty.

In those days, it was with their following that Ma Su could fight various difficult operations in Guanzhong.

However, after the Eastern Expedition began, Ma Su did not bring them with him for the sake of his own death. He left this group of killer maces to Liu Yin and others, but he did not expect that Liu Yin would bring this group of elites back to Ma Su.

In this regard, Ma Su hesitated for a while and still took back his old subordinates.

After all, they have encountered the main force of the enemy, and it is not appropriate to continue to rush. For the crucial decisive battle, Ma Su thought it would be better to be serious.

"Speaking of which, what is the reaction of the Wei army?" Ma Su turned around and asked the guards, intending to seriously think about the strategy of defeating the enemy.

"They camped outside Hulao Pass and sent scouts. They have already made sufficient preparations." The guards replied,

"The enemy general Fei Yao is an old opponent. He obviously knows your battle ideas very well."

"Really?" Ma Su shrugged and sneered at this.

It's useless to know clearly. If Guo Huai could win just by understanding his tactics, he wouldn't have to be beaten so many times.

"Go and challenge Fei Yao. It's been so long, and it's time for a decisive battle." Ma Su stretched his body, relaxed his muscles and bones, and ordered

"General, your injury..."

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. I was seriously injured by Wang Shuang in Weinan, but I was still able to defeat Guo Huai. This injury is nothing." Ma Su didn't care at all. After only an incense stick of time, he threw Huang Quan's warning to the back of his mind.

"Pull out all the Han cavalry. Now that we are in Guandong, we should let the other side feel how powerless they are without cavalry!"
