Chapter 424 Two people add up to eight hundred thoughts
"General! Suddenly a group of Shu troops crossed the Wei River and set up camp under Huayin City! One of the military commanders' flags was embroidered with the words "Han Chariots and Generals' Horses"!"
Huayin is located twenty miles west of Tongguan. It is the closest county town in Guanzhong to Tongguan. It is also located at the junction of the Wei River and the Fen River. After Xin Pi led his troops to Tongguan, he immediately sent vanguard troops to seize Huayin.
As a result, Pioneer Tribe suddenly sent someone back urgently to report that Ma Di had appeared in Huayin, which made Xin Pi's face suddenly change.
"What? Ma Su appeared outside Huayin City? Damn it, you fell into Ma Su's plan of attacking in the east and attacking in the west!"
Now Ma Di's reputation is well known to women and children in Guandong, and the entire Wei Dynasty knows this second military god who flooded the three armies. So when Xinpi heard that Ma Su had appeared in Huayin, his first reaction was that he had fallen into Ma Su's trick!
80% of the time the attack on Linjin was fake, and the sneak attack on Huayin was his real purpose!
"Wang Xiaowei, I will leave the defense of Tongguan to you for the time being. You must be on high alert! I must immediately lead troops to reinforce Huayin. I must not let Ma Di occupy the place, otherwise Zhongda will not be able to get out!" Xinpi quickly said After reacting, after a brief moment of panic, his expression suddenly became serious. He quickly turned to look at Wang Ji next to him, and ordered seriously,
"General Xin! Are you planning to personally rush to help Huayin? What if you are ambushed by Ma Su?" Wang Ji was a little stunned, and was even more shocked after hearing Xin Pi's deployment.
"And even if you are not ambushed, you will inevitably confront Ma Di when you enter Huayin. Ma Di is always good at slandering others, and his ability to spread rumors is unmatched. Are you not caring about your reputation?"
"What else can I do! For the sake of the safety of Wei Sheji and Guanzhong, I don't want to give up my posthumous reputation!" Xin Pi's face was full of righteousness, and his eyes were full of fearlessness of sacrifice. Wang Ji admired him endlessly.
"I don't care about my wealth and my life, what does my reputation mean after death!"
"And Lieutenant Wang must hold on to Tongguan and don't attack at will!"
"General Xin is really a loyal minister of the country! He is really a role model for me!" Wang Jigong cupped his hands and said with admiration.
"General, go with peace of mind! If there is any mistake at Tongguan, I will definitely die to apologize!"
"Okay! Let's say goodbye!" Xinpi nodded heavily, and the two of them felt sorry for each other for a while.
Then, Xinpi walked out of the military tent and immediately quietly called his own soldiers over.
"Go and get my order. Before dispatching the troops, all the general flags will be replaced by Wang Ji's. As soon as the army leaves Tongguan, all flags will be leveled with the flags of the West Colonel Wang Ji. Make sure there is no mistake!"
At the same time, Wang Ji, who was left behind in the military tent, also called his own soldiers and quickly issued the deployment.
"As soon as Xin Weiwei goes to Huayin, all the flags in Tongguan will be removed. All my flags will be replaced. The entire army will use Xinpi's flag, but anyone who flags my flag will be killed!"
Obviously, this pair of good friends have eight hundred minds combined.

At this moment, outside Huayin City, Ma Di appeared in front of the Wei army with thousands of elite soldiers. Then Ma Su seemed to have not seen the Wei army in the city, and he led his soldiers to set up camp.
Seeing how arrogant the Han army was, General Huayin's face turned red with anger and he felt insulted. He ordered on the spot to send troops to kill this group of Shu troops and let them know the price of arrogance.
When Ma Di's banner stood up and he changed into his iconic white robe, Guardsman Huayin's eyes suddenly became clearer.
It turned out that Ma Su was leading the team, so it's not surprising that the Shu army did this.
Subsequently, the Wei army garrison in Huayin not only quickly prepared to defend the city, but also urgently asked for help from Tongguan. He only has 5,000 men, but Ma Su on the other side has brought a full 1,000 soldiers and horses. If he attacks Huayin by force, he will definitely die.
Less than half a day after the request for help was sent out, the reinforcements from Tongguan arrived. More than 10,000 Wei troops marched quickly under the banner of Wang Ji, but when the guard saw who was coming, he was a little stunned.
"General Wei? Why are you using the banner of Captain Wang?"
"Stop talking nonsense, from now on I am Pingxi Colonel Wang Ji." Xinpi glanced at him and emphasized.
"But... obey!"
"Very good, where is Ma Su now? Has the Shu army begun to attack the city?" Xin Pi nodded, quickly led his troops into the city, and asked about Ma Su's movements.
"Reporting to Xin... to Captain Wang, the Shu army tried to attack the city, and the leader of the thieves, Ma Su, even attacked first in person. However, due to some heroic resistance, the Shu army failed..."
"Where is the Shu army now!" Xinpi didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, and suddenly said angrily with a dark face.
"Outside the west gate, we led a total of thousands of troops to camp on the road."
"How many people?" Upon hearing this number, Xinpi frowned.
"Only a thousand people? With just a few people, do you dare to camp on the road?"
"I don't know, I don't know." General Huayin shook his head and answered honestly.
"I gonna go see."
Xinpi was a little unsure about what kind of abacus Ma Su was selling in this gourd. But anyway, he was under the banner of Wang Ji, and he boldly went to the city in person, intending to see Ma Su's deployment in person.
Soon, Xinpi came to the top of the west gate of Huayin and saw the Han army's camp at a glance.
The Han army's camp was not large, with only a thousand people coming in total. Among the troops stood a handsome flag with the words "Han Chariot and Cavalry General Lueyang Township Houma" brightly embroidered on it.
It was such a camp, but it was only a few miles away from Huayin, and it was encamped on the road, blocking the way of the Wei army's westward advance.
It seems that this posture is to block the Wei army, but this is obviously unreasonable. In particular, the Shu army not only had few sentry posts, but also no antlers.
"Something's wrong! Something's very wrong!" Xin Pi frowned, and then looked at the forest not far behind the Shu army.
The jungle over there is dense, and in Xinpi's eyes, there seems to be a vague figure flickering between them. Even the plants and trees in the mountains in the distance looked to him like the movement of an ambush by the Shu army.
As we all know, Ma Su is the best at all kinds of surprise attacks. Although there were only a thousand soldiers and horses of the Han army crossing the river, Ma Di, Xin Pi would not believe this report so much.
If the scouts could detect so accurately, how could Ma Di have such a brilliant record?
Now Cao Wei's exercises are like Mr. Meyer's air force, which is unanimously considered unreliable by Cao Wei's generals.
Just when Xinpi was confused, he suddenly saw the gate of the Han army's camp suddenly opened. A general in white robes suddenly came out on horseback, leading more than a hundred infantrymen.
"It's broken! Ma Su is here! Put up my flag quickly!"
