Chapter 591 A blessing in disguise
"What's the situation? Does Wang Jun still have an ambush?"
After successfully breaking out of the fire, Ma Di and his large troops planned to retreat to the camp to rest. After this time, Ma Su has sounded the alarm. Sometimes it is better not to be too careless.
With this thought, Ma Di planned to return to the camp. But before returning to the camp, Ma Di saw his camp burning with fire!
This immediately raised alarm bells in Ma Su. Could it be that Wang Jun had a back-up plan?
No, if Wang Jun still has the ability to prepare a backup plan, he should arrange it near Yishui to give him a fatal blow. Now that someone suddenly comes to burn down his camp, there is a high probability that someone from outside the camp is involved.
Thinking of this, Ma Su's anger suddenly rose up due to his carelessness. He looked at the growing fire in his tent, his face darkened and he said,
"It's so funny. I was careless once. Why would anyone dare to fish in troubled waters... The whole army followed me to the battle. I wanted to see who was so unlucky, but now they met me!"

At the same time, in the Han army camp, Wang Kuang, the guard of Hulao Pass, was excitedly urging his troops to burn the Han camp.
"Quick, quick, quick, Ma Su has been trapped by the Fujun captain. Even if he doesn't die, he will lose half of his life. Take advantage of this moment to burn the Shu army camp clean. When the merits are rewarded, it will be a great achievement! "
This Wang Kuang was the one who immediately began to write a suicide note after meeting Ma Su.
Originally, with the courage of this guy, he would not dare to take the initiative to fight. But just now, Wang Jun wrote a letter telling him that Ma Di had been trapped, and asked him to quickly burn the Shu camp to disrupt the rear of the Shu army.
Wang Kuang was dubious about this, and he was so timid that he did not go out in the first wave by himself. Instead, he sent a deputy general with only 300 men.
As a result, the deputy general successfully broke into the unguarded Shu camp and set off a fire. When Wang Kuang saw Ma Di missing at the top of Hulao Pass, he immediately rushed out in person in a hurry.
After all, in this kind of battle to hunt down Ma Su, even if it only burns down a camp, it is a great achievement. Although he didn't have the courage to face Ma Su, he still had the courage to take advantage of Ma Su's absence to gain some credit.
"General, what if we... what if Ma Su comes back?" The guard next to him was a little nervous and said cautiously.
"So we have to move faster, finish the burning as soon as possible and return to Hulao Pass as soon as possible." Wang Kuang glanced at him and snorted softly.
"I have remembered it all. This time it was me, Wang Kuang, who led the team to burn down Ma Di's camp! Do you understand?"
"Understood." Several personal guards replied, not caring about the ugly faces of the generals next to them who had their credit taken away.
However, just as they were burning the camp in chaos, there was a sudden noise outside. And all the Wei soldiers who set fire to the Han army camp heard Ma Su's angry roar.
"Let me see where this little thief came from. He dares to burn down my camp! Come out quickly and die!"
"It's broken! Ma Su is back!" Wang Kuang was shocked and immediately panicked.
When he left the city, he thought about the possibility that Ma Di would come back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon!
I just came out of Hulao Prison, and I haven’t set two fires yet! It seems that the Fujun captain is not reliable at all. How long has Ma Di been trapped for so long?
"Stay behind Duan! Stop Ma Su!" Thinking of this, Wang Kuang abandoned his men again without saying a word. He looked at his lieutenants without hesitation and directly ordered them to stay behind.
However, the deputy general did not complain at all about this, but seemed to be very happy to accept it. Wang Kuang didn't pay any attention to this, and ran away with his bodyguard after giving instructions.
Wang Kuang ran really fast and disappeared in a flash. His lieutenant turned his head to collect the chaotic troops with an expressionless face, and then walked towards the camp gate without fear.
"I, the general guarding Hulao Pass, Wang Kuang's subordinate, I surrender! Let me go back, and I will capture Hulao Pass for the general!"
This sentence made Ma Su, who was holding back his anger and preparing to go into battle with injuries and kill, abruptly stopped what he was doing. Because he moved too fast, Ma Su almost dodged him.
"What did you say? Can you release Hulao Prison?"

In the end, this war started by Wang Jun and caused by Ma Su's carelessness finally ended. Wang Jun himself died in the fire he set, which made Ma Di sigh.
To be honest, he still wanted to recruit this guy. Like Jiang Wei, he was originally a talented person from a lower class background. It's a pity that due to the butterfly effect, such a talented person was eventually recruited away by Cao Weixian.
In addition to this, there are the defenders who came out of Hulao Pass to fish in troubled waters. Ma Su rushed back in time and almost wiped out their entire army. Only one deputy general of the troops in charge of the rear managed to escape with half his life, being scarred.
It is worth mentioning that in the ancient army, there was a very strong continuous sitting system. If a general dies, all his subordinates will be executed together.
Therefore, in the feudal army, many times the general actually escaped alone, and it was very common for his entire army to be annihilated.
Therefore, Wang Kuang did not have too much doubts about the deputy general's escape back alone. After a brief interrogation, he released the deputy general.
However, he would soon regret his carelessness.
Less than three days after returning to Hulao Pass, the lieutenant led his henchmen to launch an uprising. His leaders raised fire as a signal at the critical moment and quickly launched an attack on the unprepared Wei army.
Wang Kuang never expected that his repeated actions of stealing credit and betraying his subordinates would make the deputy general's hatred for him even outweigh his worries for his own relatives.
With internal support, the Han army took advantage of the darkness and launched a strong attack on the city head. The two sides fought fiercely for two hours, and Ma Di even fought to the front line despite being injured.
At dawn, the flag of the Han army was planted at the critical moment of Hulao Pass. Ma Su, the most dangerous pass in Guandong, was a blessing in disguise and successfully conquered it.
Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. Every time Ma Su committed suicide, he received compensation secretly. This may be a kind of free prostitution...
At the same time that Ma Di was successful in prostitution again, Liu Yin also welcomed an unexpected guest in the main military tent of the Han army under Luoyang City.
"Why are you here..." Liu Yin looked at the visitor with a stern face in astonishment and asked cautiously.
"Give me the Tiger Talisman!" The visitor did not answer Liu Yin's words, but said to Liu Yin with a serious face.
"Deliver military authority to me as soon as possible, and then I will be in charge of commanding the Han army until Youchang returns!"
