Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2296 Ma Chao surrenders to Qin, five tigers win three

Chapter 2292: Ma Chao descends to Qin, five tigers get three

The intensity of the battle in Liangzhou was not inferior to that in Yongzhou.

After the end of the Hetao War, the three families of Yang, Ma and Han were all losers, but Yang Guang backstabbed his allies at this time, beheaded all of Ma Teng and Han Sui, and took this opportunity to send a large-scale army to unify Liangzhou.

The Ma and Han families lost their heads and fell into a leaderless situation. Naturally, it was difficult to resist the aggression of the Sui army. It was not until Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, and Yan Xing, the son-in-law of Han Sui, took over the power of the Ma and Han families. defeated the Sui army.

Just when the world thought that the battle in Liangzhou would be deadlocked and Yang Guang would be unable to unify Liangzhou, there was a problem within the Ma-Han Alliance.

Yang Guang sent troops several times but was blocked by Ma Yuan, so he tried to drive a wedge between Ma Chao and Ma Yuan.

Ma Chao was in power at the beginning, but his prestige was insufficient. Under Yang Guang's plan to alienate Xixia, he gradually began to distrust his clan uncle Ma Yuan, and finally forced him to leave.

Yang Guang himself was stunned when he learned that the separation plan was successful, so he repeated the old trick again to drive apart the relationship between Ma Chao and Yan Xing, but Ma Chao fell into the trap again.

Facing the powerful Sui army, even if the Ma and Han families joined forces, they would still be at a disadvantage. How could they be opponents if they fought independently?
Seeing that the situation in Liangzhou was about to completely fall to the Sui army, Wei Qing led [-] Qin cavalry into Liangzhou, which also made the situation in Liangzhou Debang even more chaotic.

After Wei Qing led his army into Liangzhou, the first thing he did was to repel Yang Su's men who were besieging the city and rescue Yan Xing who was in danger.

Yan Xing was not as ambitious as Ma Chao. After finally escaping the catastrophe, he felt more and more powerless about the current situation. He knew that he could not keep the power of the Han family with his own ability, so he persuaded his subordinates to surrender to Daqin , was finally named one of the 36 marquises of the founding of the country.

After Yan Xing surrendered to Qin, the Qin army had a base in Liangzhou, and its military strength was further expanded.

After Ma Chao learned of this, he also realized that he had done another stupid thing. He forcefully forced his allies to surrender to the Qin army, and now the Ma family has become the weakest force in Liangzhou.

Just when Ma Chao was worrying about gains and losses, Wei Qing sent an envoy to present his interests and asked the two families to join forces to resist the Sui army. Ma Chao was persuaded by him, and the Qin and Ma families formed an anti-Sui alliance.

Seeing Qin and Ma teaming up, Yang Guang also panicked, so he once again used the sure-fire strategy against Ma Chao, the tactic of alienation.

The same strategy, but with a different routine, but Ma Chao fell for it again.

Before the war, Wei Qing asked Ma Chao to send troops together, but when the war started, Ma Chao refused to send troops, so Wei Qing had to fight the Sui army with inferior forces.

If it weren't for Wei Qing's super command ability, almost relying on his own strength to turn the tide and turn defeat into victory, Qin Jun might also experience a defeat.

After this battle, Wei Qing no longer trusted Ma Chao, and the Qin-Ma Alliance existed in name only, while Yang Guang took this opportunity to prepare to eliminate Ma Chao in one fell swoop.

Ma Chao was defeated by Lien Zhan, and finally had no way to retreat. He was trapped to death in his own government by the Sui army, and he fell into regret again.

He regretted why he was so stupid, and fell into the same trick of Yang Guang one after another, so that everyone betrayed his relatives and friends, and his relatives and friends died in battle one by one, and he himself sent himself to a dead end.

The reason why Ma Chao has been caught repeatedly is that one is because of his very suspicious nature, the other is that he is eager to show off his lack of hope when he first took over the authority, and the third is that his ambition has not been extinguished, so he was caught by Yang Guang. Calculating to death.

Just when his life was about to come to an end, Ma Chao finally realized his incompetence and had to admit his incompetence.

It has always been just that he thinks highly of himself. He is not material for being a prince at all. Yang Guang alone has already rubbed him on the ground. How can he have the qualifications to compete with heroes such as Ying Hao and Liu Xiu?
Although Ma Chao realized this, it was already too late. He was trapped in the isolated city, with no fighting spirit inside and no reinforcements outside.

Looking at his elder brother who looked miserable and completely lost his charm, Ma Dai gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, please ask the Qin army for help."

"Yes, my lord, only Qin Jun can save us now." Pang De said in a deep voice.

Ma Chao said with a wry smile: "But before I violated the covenant and did not send troops as agreed, Wei Qing no longer trusts me, will he send troops to rescue?"

"Success or failure must be tried, and if you sit and wait for death, you will surely die." Ma Dai said seriously.

Ma Chao took a deep breath, and began to write a letter for help, and sincerely apologized to Wei Qing in the letter, in order to let Wei Qing send troops, he was willing to put down his dignity.

After Ma Chao violated the covenant, although the connection between Qin and Ma was severed, there were still a few pigeons left, so they were barely able to send out the letter for help.

After dark, after Ma Chao released the pigeons, he waited quietly for the Qin army to come to help him with anxiety.

Three days, five days, ten days...

The defense materials in the city are getting less and less, and the resistance is getting weaker and weaker. Seeing that it was broken by the Sui army, the reinforcements from the Qin army still haven't arrived.

"Brother Dai, take your brother's head and surrender to Yang Guang."

"What? No, brother."

Ma Dai was very anxious when he heard the words, but Ma Chao said calmly: "Only in this way can we save your lives and keep the Ma family from being wiped out."

"Big brother."

Ma Dai burst into tears in grief and indignation, teardrops kept falling down, and he clutched Ma Chao's robe tightly and refused to let go.

Ma Chao was very calm, as if looking away.

"Brother Dai, I have committed too many wrong things, I don't want to commit one more before I die."

After saying that, Ma Chao drew out the sword at his waist, put it across his neck, raised his head and said, "Now is the time to pay for my stupidity."

Ma Dai was sobbing, but he didn't stop it, because it was his brother's choice, and his brother had the consciousness to sacrifice for the whole family, so he couldn't stop his brother himself.

Just then, 'nail'...

An arrow shot and knocked away the sword in Ma Chao's hand, and then Pound rushed up and hugged Ma Chao, shouting: "My lord, the reinforcements are here, you don't have to kill yourself."

Ma Chao struggled and said, "Ling Ming, you don't have to lie to me anymore, Wei Qing won't come, he won't trust me anymore."

"It's true, my lord, if you don't believe me, listen to it yourself."

Ma Chao was startled, then closed his eyes and listened, and actually heard a lot of shouts for killing, so he broke away from Pound suddenly, and gave the order: "Send the order, the whole army will leave the city to support the Qin army."

"promise."

Yang Guang felt that in the previous battle, because of Ma Chao's breach of contract, Wei Qing no longer trusted Ma Chao, so he decided that Wei Qing would never come to rescue Ma Chao, but the reality was that Wei Qing actually came, which also caught Yang Guang by surprise. out of reach.

Under the sudden attack of Wei Qing and Ma Chao's army in the city, the Sui army lost more than [-] troops and was defeated, and Ma Chao also escaped.

After repelling the Sui army, when the leaders of the two armies met, Ma Chao grabbed Wei Qing's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, General Wei, for coming to the rescue regardless of past suspicions."

Wei Qing pulled out his hand, and said calmly: "The reason why I sent troops was not to save people, but to save myself."

Ma Chao was immediately embarrassed on the spot, but he also laughed at himself in his heart.

Yes, self-help, such a simple truth, why didn't I understand it before.

After repeated setbacks, Ma Chao already knew what he was up to, and decided to give up that unrealistic ambition, so he said to Wei Qing with a serious face:

"General Wei Qing, it's not too late for Ma Chao to surrender to Qin."

Wei Qing couldn't help being taken aback, he never thought that the rebellious and ambitious Jin Ma Chao would propose surrendering to Qin before he was completely cornered?There's no conspiracy in this, is there?

Wei Qing suddenly fell silent, he was scared by Ma Chao, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should accept Ma Chao's surrender or not.

After thinking for a while, Wei Qing arched his hands to the west, and said: "Your Majesty once said: the sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great. So it's never too late for you, General Ma Chao, to submit to you, but after submitting, you can't let your temper go, otherwise The consequences...you understand."

"Understand."

After saying that, Ma Chao turned around and glanced at the generals behind him, and said in a deep voice: "I, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, have decided to submit to the Great Qin. Are you willing to follow me to serve the Great Qin? If you don't want to, I, Ma Chao, will never force you."

"I would like to serve the Great Qin with the general." Ma Dai Pound and other Liangzhou generals shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Wei Qing nodded in satisfaction.

After being tossed and tossed by Ma Chao so many times, although the foundation of the Ma family has been exhausted, the remaining strength is still a powerful boost.

Wei Qing's troops and horses, together with Yan Xing and Ma Chao's surrendered troops, have reached a total of [-] troops, and they are united as one. It is more than enough to protect themselves in Liangzhou, and there is no need to worry about being easily swallowed by the Sui army.

However, when he thought that he had worked so hard to open up the situation in Liangzhou, and the governor of Liangzhou fell on Meng Tian's head, even Wei Qing couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

But who told him to be a surrendered general, and he was a surrendered general who had just surrendered not long ago. It would be good to have the opportunity to lead the army alone. It is absolutely impossible for Jiang to take up such an important position as the governor of a state in the short term.

Wei Qing couldn't, and neither could Han Xin.

At this time, Wei Qing didn't realize at all that he was forced to serve Qin because of Wei Zifu's mother and son, but before he knew it, his heart had completely turned to Da Qin, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly Plan for Daqin.

What changed him was not someone or something, but the Great Qin established by Ying Hao, which made Wei Qing feel that this is a country full of hope, and all sincere hopes will contribute to this country.

After returning to the barracks, Wei Qing immediately announced Ma Chao’s surrender in public, and this caused a stir among the generals. Many people even did not believe that Ma Chao would surrender, until Wei Qing said that the Qin army had entered its headquarters and reorganized its forces Only then did the generals believe it.

"Ma Chao has surrendered, and Liangzhou will be severely separated from Qin and Sui Dynasty in the future. Send this news back to Luoyang and inform His Majesty and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the dynasty." Wei Qing ordered with a light smile.

"promise."

After the guards took the order to leave, a black-armored general stood up, and he was the fierce general who shined in the Liangzhou battle, Jiao Moxiang.

Jiao Moxiang was a general that Wei Qing had borrowed from Longqie. The time Ma Chao cheated Wei Qing was when Jiao Moxiang showed his might and led his cavalry to pierce through the Sui army's phalanx and hit the Sui army general Gao Gaozai. This gave Wei Qing a chance to turn defeat into victory.

After this battle, Jiao Mo became famous in the first battle, and after Ying Hao proclaimed himself emperor, he was promoted to General Zhonglang. This also made him very grateful to Wei Qing who discovered and reused him.

"I, Daqin, can have this situation in Liangzhou, thanks to General Wei Qing, and now General Wei Qing is about to be transferred from Liangzhou, but our Qin army in Liangzhou cannot do without General Wei Qing.

I propose that we jointly write to the imperial court, begging His Majesty to keep General Wei Qing in Liangzhou, what do you think? "

Jiao Mo began to agitate, and the generals agreed one after another. First, they really agreed with Wei Qing, and second, they were afraid that the situation in Liangzhou would collapse if Wei Qing left.

"Nonsense, the scheduling of the major officials is arranged by His Majesty, how can you and others interfere at will?"

Wei Qing reprimanded with a straight face, but was extremely moved in his heart, but he had to leave.

Wei Qing naturally didn't want to leave Liangzhou, but if he didn't leave, with the prestige he had accumulated in the army, the new governor would definitely be hindered after taking office, which he didn't want to see.

But when he thought that the imperial court appointed him the post of Nanyang prefect, Wei Qing couldn't help but feel a little bit bitter. Although the position is high and powerful, Nanyang has no battles to fight, so how can he accumulate military exploits.

What Wei Qing didn't know was that Meng Tian took the initiative to ask Ying Hao for orders before taking office, hoping to keep Wei Qing as his lieutenant general, and Ying Hao had already agreed, but the imperial edict had not yet been issued, so Wei Qing didn't have to go to Nanyang to take up the post.

In Luoyang, after receiving Wei Qing's summons, Ying Hao was naturally overjoyed, and announced the news in public.

"My lord, Ma Chao took the initiative to surrender as a prince, and Wang Meng thinks that he can be rewarded heavily, so that he can set an example for the princes of the world."

"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhang Liang, Han Fei, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others said in unison.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will seal Ma Chao as Marquis of Xinxi, General Fubo." Ying Hao ordered.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Ma Chao surrendered, and Ying Hao won the third of the Five Tiger Generals, leaving only Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Of the Five Tiger Generals, Ying Hao naturally wanted to join forces. After all, four of the Five Tiger Generals teamed up, even if they were as strong as Xiang Yu, they were not opponents.

With the passage of time, the strength of the five tiger generals has become stronger and stronger. Even the youngest Ma Chao has reached the level of God of War, and Zhao Yun and Guan Yu even have fusion skills.

Now if the five generals of the five tigers join forces and cooperate with combo skills, it may be said bluntly that there may be no opponents in this world at all.

"By the way, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are locked in prison, how are they thinking now? Are you willing to work for me, Daqin?" Ying Hao asked Jia Xu.
