Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Faced with Shu Ji's words, Deng Fan didn't say anything and remained silent. Shu Ji didn't say anything further, and gently patted Deng Fan on the shoulder.

"This time, you will be in charge of the battle. The general has recognized your ability, and I will not raise any objections."

After saying that, Shu Ji turned around to gather the cavalry troops, leaving Deng Fan alone looking at the Yellow River in the cold wind.

Shu Ji's guess was not wrong. In fact, this time it was not Deng Fan trying to figure out Ma Di's intentions. It was Deng Fan who used Ma Di's banner to defraud him of his military power.

Because his plan was a bit too risky, not even much more conservative than Ma Su's own plan. In addition, a lot of the basis for his plan was based on his own investigation, so it is likely that it will not be accepted by Zhang He and others.

But Deng Fan had no other choice. Otherwise, he would still have to serve as a general and follow Zhang He and other generals in direct combat. And his own force value is not high. He can neither capture the flag first like Ma Su nor charge head-on like Jiang Wei.

So if he stays on the front side, he will definitely not be able to accomplish any great feats, and he can only make achievements in the dark. This is unacceptable to Deng Fan. He also wants to make great contributions and advance his official position further!

Of course, there is also the reason why Jiang Wei, who was also from the bottom of Cao Wei, has been promoted to the rank of permanent captain, and was appointed by Ma Di to lead the army alone in the northern border.

So, Deng Fan thought carefully this time and deceived his military power to complete his plan.

Shu Ji's acquiescence gave Deng Fan a little confidence. At least his risky move was recognized by someone. In this case, there was no need for him to hide it, he just boldly gave it a go.

Deng Fan, Shu Ji and his two men, along with four thousand men on foot and cavalry, were stationed on the banks of the Yellow River, slowly waiting for the weather changes predicted by Deng Fan.

From the north of the Hetao Plain, the north-south section of the Yellow River from Yinshan to Tongguan is the area with the fastest speed in the entire Yellow River. The reefs here are densely packed and the water flow is mixed with a lot of sediment. Most places are not suitable for ships to travel.

There are only three ferries available for this thousand-mile stretch of river. They are Pubanjin and Fenglingdu in the south and Longmendu in the north.

However, the two ferries in the south were heavily guarded by Wei troops, while the Longmen ferry in the north was thousands of miles away. Therefore, judging from the ferry alone, it is basically impossible for the Han army to sneak across the Yellow River.

Because of this, the Wei army basically did not set up defenses north of Pubanjin.

But Deng Fan, who had been working as a military town and farming in Beidi County for two years, already knew the climate in the north relatively well. It is now approaching November, and the temperature in the north is about to drop significantly. In this case, there is a high probability that the river will freeze over, giving everyone the possibility of crossing on the ice.

It was risky, but Deng Fan decided to take a gamble.

Deng Fan led his troops to camp by the river and waited for more than ten days. As expected by Deng Fan, the temperature began to drop rapidly, and heavy snow began to fall on the tenth day.

Finally, on the thirteenth day of Deng Fan's waiting, the Yellow River quickly froze. At this time, both sides of the Yellow River were gradually covered by heavy snow, and the time was ripe for the soldiers to cross the ice.

In response, Deng Fan made a prompt decision. The entire army wore white robes and quickly crossed the ice. The Han soldiers, including a thousand cavalry, quickly packed up their gear and began to venture across the Yellow River.

The specific process was not much simpler than sneaking into Yinping. Some unlucky soldiers fell directly into the water along the way. In the end, thanks to the great fortune and great fortune, four thousand Han soldiers crossed the Yellow River in an extremely dangerous manner.

But crossing the Yellow River secretly does not mean it is over. Deng Fan quickly deployed Shu Ji and a thousand cavalrymen, and quickly went south along the river with great fanfare, heading straight for Pubanjin.

There is no need to gain meritorious service, just to attract Wei Jun's attention. Deng Fan himself led three thousand infantry, wearing white robes and taking detours. He marched directly across Zhongtiao Mountain and attacked the empty Pubanjin.

The whole plan is extremely risky. If you are not careful, the entire army will die on the east bank of the Yellow River. From this point, Shuji was even more certain that this was definitely not what General Shenwei meant.

If Ma Su knew about such a risky move, would it be Deng Fan's turn to lead the army? He would definitely come by himself and lead the troops to take such a risk.

…………

At the same time, Ma Su outside Huayin City shuddered violently, and just like Liu Yin and Fei Yi, he felt a huge aversion to cold.

It felt like something important had been taken away from me. It was very uncomfortable, but I still had no idea what was being robbed.

No, right? Is there any riskier move than a thousand people blocking two to thirty thousand people?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

In November, the defenders of Puban County, Hedong County were preparing to start a day of fishing. Theoretically, although this place is less than a hundred miles away from the front line, with the Yellow River in front of it, Han troops will not appear no matter what.

But when they were about to open the city gate and start taking up their posts, the defenders on top of the city suddenly noticed smoke, dust and snow rising in the distance, and a group of soldiers and horses came running from a distance.

At first, the Wei army didn't take it seriously and just thought it was reinforcements coming from Bingzhou. But when the distance was a little closer, Wei's soldiers saw clearly that this group of soldiers and horses turned out to be a red flag!

"It's the Shu Army!"

"How is that possible! Why did the Shu army come from the north?"

"Has Bingzhou fallen? We are going to be doomed!"

For a time, Puban County was in chaos. A group of soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate, and everyone climbed to the top of the city to guard.

I saw the Han army stopped a few miles away, and a general with a white horse and white robes rode up and shouted to the top of the city,

"I am Shu Jiye, the captain of the Changshui School of the Han Dynasty. I am coming with the cavalry general on the eastward expedition. Please open the door and surrender as soon as possible! If you persist in your persistence, after the city is broken, all the bureaucrats who participated in the resistance will die!"

"What? Ma Su is here too?" The guard of Puban County was shocked when he heard this. He looked at the snow and mist flying in the distance, and it looked like a large army was coming. So without saying a word, he urgently asked for help from the rear and sent people to see the wealthy people living in the city.

Ma Su's reputation is very great. Now I heard that many wealthy families in Guanzhong are happy to welcome Master Wang. Although his place is not within the Guanzhong area, he knows what these wealthy people are thinking.

It's better to be vigilant.

Shujidaibuqu appeared on the front line of Puban, which quickly aroused high vigilance in Pubanjin in the south.

The guard of Pubanjin was a close associate of Chen Tai, and he also participated in the defeat of Wuzhangyuan. So when I heard that the Shu army was found in Puban County, and it was said that Ma Di was also there, I quickly became stressed.

"Huayin is fake. Ma Su's real purpose is to attack the east and attack the west. Their real plan is to surround General Chen in Linjin!"

"We can't let them succeed! Now everyone who can move should give me support to Putan County!"

At the same time, Deng Fan also led three thousand soldiers wearing white cloth and winter clothes, risking their lives and entered Zhongtiao Mountain, and began his huge gamble!
