Han Shimou

Ma Chao didn't respond for a long time, and the lack of food made his army's morale shake. Whenever the soldiers of the civil army called to surrender, many Xiliang soldiers would unknowingly develop strange colors, and the number continued to increase.Pang De was around, seeing the soldiers like this, he was anxious, and hurriedly went to find Cheng Gongying.Cheng Gongying's face was extremely complicated, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked Pang De to accompany him to see Ma Chao.

The scolding sound like a huge wave outside the city is still coming from the sky.Ma Chao's lionized face kept twitching, and the anger accumulated all over his body made him look like a volcano.

Suddenly a soldier came to report that Cheng Gongying and Pound came to see him. Ma Chao's lion eyes burst into joy, thinking that Cheng Gongying had a plan to turn the tide, so he hurriedly sent them to see him.

After a while, Cheng Gongying and Pound walked in one after another. Cheng Gongying's expression was extremely dignified, frowning, which seemed to have a clever plan.Ma Chao's heart suddenly turned cold, but he suppressed his impatience and first asked Cheng Gongying how to solve the urgent situation in front of him.

"Wen Bufan no longer has to worry about annexing the state, and he already has Guangwei as his base in Liangzhou. In this way, he can continue to confront our army and remain invincible. On the contrary, our army has never had a strategy to defeat the enemy. And now the army is short of food, and the army is in a panic. I am afraid that if it is in a stalemate with the Wen army again, over time, there will be many changes, and our army will be destroyed without attacking!

General Ma, it is better to cede the land and ask for peace, and give it to a county in Guangwei.The two families will stop their troops and survive the winter. Don't make any plans until the next autumn harvest. "

Cheng Gongying arched his head, bowed his head straight down, and his words were filled with endless unwillingness.Ma Chao stared at the lion's eyes and yelled loudly.

"Cheng Gongying!!! Please make peace by ceding the land, what is the difference between that Wen Bufan's surrender!! He insulted me so much, I would rather die here than destroy the Wen thief!!!"

"General Ma!!"

"I've made up my mind, stop talking!!"

Ma Chao angrily shouted at Cheng Gongying, while Pang De hesitated, not knowing whether to persuade him or not.

"Ling Ming! The morale of the army is not stable at the moment, you lead a troop to patrol around, and anyone who hears the theory of surrender will be killed without mercy!!"

At this moment, Ma Chao suddenly turned to Pound. With Ma Chao's order, Pound dared to persuade him. After accepting the order obediently, he left the hall.

Wen Han scolded outside the city until dusk. Seeing the panic of the Xiliang army on the city, the eyes of the swords shone brightly, as if they could light up the whole night.Wen Han's actions today are based on the strategy of acting and aspiring talents.

Since the prosperity of Hedong, refugees from all over the world have flocked in, and many of them are from Xiliang.From the mouths of these refugees, Xi Zhi guessed after many inquiries and deliberations that there must not be much food in Xiliang at this time.Later, I learned from some new arrivals that Ma Chao was opening granaries in various places in Xiliang.Xi Zhicai immediately guessed that this must be Ma Chao's move to appease the people and stabilize the rear before the war.After Xi Zhicai thought it over, he decided that the Xiliang army was running out of food, and the reason why he still dared to fight Wen Han under such circumstances was because of the chaos and chaos in the northern Qiang that forced Wen Han to withdraw his troops and return. Take advantage of this momentum and attack.

But things went against their wishes, Ma Chao's wishful thinking was well planned, but the final result of Bingzhou ended with Gao Shun's side winning a big victory.Only then did Xi Zhi think of this, so he designed Jiao Wenhan to use the shortage of food and grass and the results of the Bingzhou battle to attack the Xiliang army at this time, and at the same time use the aggressive method to lure Ma Chao to attack.If Ma Chao really came to kill him in anger, he would have been defeated by Wen Han because of the disordered morale and low morale of his army at that time.

It's just a pity that Cheng Gongying saw through Wen Han's aggressive method and saved the Xiliang army from a catastrophe.However, Xizhi only makes plans, and they are always linked one by one, until they are counted to be wiped out.Wen Han's attack on the heart today is just a part of Xi Zhicai's grand plan!

At night, Wen Han led his army back. When he returned to the camp, Wen Han suddenly called Zhang Liao.

"Wen Yuan, the Xiliang army is in turmoil right now and can't take care of themselves. You can lead the army away!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Zhang Liao had already made preparations earlier.As soon as Wen Han's order came down, Zhang Liao stepped out of the tent after receiving the order, and summoned Hu Che'er who was accompanying him, and the two quickly led the army away from the camp in a secret place.

After that, Wenhan divided his troops day and night, shouting and yelling at Pingxiang City, Ma Chao couldn't bear it, but he didn't send troops, and just stood still.

Five or six days later, the soldiers and supplies in Pingxiang City were in short supply. In order to suppress the turmoil, Pound killed hundreds of deserters in a row, but the signs of deserters still did not decrease, and the number increased sharply every day.At this moment, a scout suddenly came to report.

Yan Wenhan has an army, which has set up camp in the south of the city.Ma Chao turned pale in shock, and quickly sent someone to call Cheng Gongying to discuss.

"Wen Bufan is cunning and treacherous!!! He even took advantage of Xu to send troops to the south of the city.

Wen Jun pressed on every step of the way, and coupled with the continuous urgency and chaos in the Zijun, Ma Chao's anger was long overshadowed by haste and panic.Ma Chao's handsome face was pale, with a frowning face, and he seemed about to be forced to collapse.

"A man can bend and stretch. In the past, Gaozu was persecuted by Xiang Ji repeatedly and suffered countless humiliations. He was able to bear it and swallow it hard, so he won the world. How can the general ignore the overall situation because of a momentary loss! If the general wants to avoid catastrophe, he must cede the land Please make peace. If it is not the case, how can our army have the power to recover from the current situation!"

Cheng Gongying's face was serious and serious, and he spoke every word, as if he had completely forgotten Ma Chao's violent and violent attitude that day, and brought up the matter of cession of land for peace.

Perhaps Ma Chao was really forced to be helpless, he pondered for a while, and asked quickly.

"Wen Bufan has so many advantages right now, I'm afraid he won't let it go!"

"Don't panic, general. Even if Wen Bufan has more advantages, there are still [-] Xiliang troops in Pingxiang City. If he really pushes us into desperation, the [-] soldiers all have the heart to burn everything, and fight with their backs. Wen Bufan To be able to win is also a tragic victory, and the remaining troops are less than [-]. In this way, how can he attack the remaining counties in Liangzhou.

In addition, Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu ​​had been fighting for nearly a year, once the winner was decided.In order to take care of the rear and guard against the winner of the two, Wen Bufan must reserve a large number of troops.From the above, it can be seen that Wen Bufan is likely to accept the proposal of cession of land and peace! "

Cheng Gongying counted and analyzed, and Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. At this moment, Ma Chao, the world-renowned Xiliang Brocade, does not have the arrogance that he usually despises the heroes of the world.

Even so, but the so-called eat a fall, gain a wisdom.Because of this desperation, Ma Chao lost a lot of his arrogance. At this time, he was not as irritable as usual. He only hoped that he could solve the current crisis, and then, as Cheng Gongying said before, endure for a while for a while, and then start again!Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the ambition to make a comeback.

"What the military adviser said is right. For the time being, let's cede the land first and seek peace with Wen Bufan. When the harvest is sufficient next autumn, we will regain the lost land and attack the Wen thieves!"

When Ma Chao made the decision to cede the land and ask for peace, the bleakness in the lion's eyes faded a lot, and a new brilliance reappeared, and the whole person looked much calmer than before.Cheng Gongying secretly praised, as long as more time is given for this strong lion cub to grow, in time he will surely grow into a lion capable of competing for the world!

So Ma Chao sent his younger brother Ma Dai as an envoy to Wenzhai to write a letter, saying that he would cut off the land and ask for peace.Wen Han seemed to have expected it a long time ago, with a slight smile, he led the generals out of the camp to meet him, and he was especially enthusiastic towards Ma Dai, without any hostility at all.Ma Dai is very reserved, and his posture is a little humble.After everyone narrated the ceremony, Wen Han asked Ma Dai to enter the account.Ma Dai knew that he had a heavy responsibility and dared not be negligent, so he quickly raised the matter of cede land and ask for peace.

Ma Chao wants to give up a county in Guangwei, hoping to temporarily extinguish the flames of war.When Wen Han heard this, he laughed, as if he was just talking about everyday matters with Ma Dai, he said with a smile.

"Haha. This is not urgent. You go back to Pingxiang first, and I will come to Japan to make people pay back."

Ma Dai frowned, Wen Han's attitude made it difficult for him to guess, and Cheng Gongying also ordered before, Wen Han is the best at attacking the heart, when talking with him, you must not get entangled with him deeply, otherwise it will be very easy to mess up.

Thinking of this, Ma Dai didn't bother too much, and after giving a respectful salute, he resigned.

Just as Ma Dai left, Li You's eyes were shining, and he looked at Wen Han and asked.

"My lord seems to have anticipated the matter of Ma Chao's request for peace, so it must have been mentioned in the letter from the military division."

"Haha, Zhicai Shenzhi, how could it be unexpected?"

"Military divisions are as good as gods, and they are not as good as they are!"

Li You's face twitched again and again, Xi Long's terrifying calculation power, even Li You, the peerless adviser who had helped Dong Zhuo win half of the world, had to bow down.I understand even more in my heart why Xilong left such a serious root cause of the disease before, and it is unimaginable to deliberate the matter step by step with such precision and consume so much mental energy.If it is like this all year round, no matter how resourceful and resourceful it is against the sky, it will definitely shorten your life!

Calculating that Ma Chao will be forced to make peace is also a part of Xilong's grand plan. Wen Han's heart attack in Pingxiang earlier was a foreshadowing for this link.

"My lord, what should the next step for the military division be?"

Li You stared at Wen Han with slightly soft eyes, and asked Wen Han again.Wen Han smiled provocatively and asked back.

"Hehe, what did Zhongwen see?"

Li You's expression sank, his thoughts turned, and his whole body was full of wisdom.After a while, Li You replied.

"Soldiers never tire of deceit. What Youzhi sees can be falsely promised, and then use countermeasures to make Ma and Cheng doubt. After all, Cheng Gongying is Han Sui's old army, and half of Xiliang's army is Han Sui's soldiers in the past. If two people If you turn against each other, you can break it with one blow!"

Wen Han clapped his palms and was overjoyed, Li Youzhi's scheme and Xilong's plan coincided with each other, he said with a loud smile.

"Haha! The world has great opinions, and there are many coincidences. The strategy of loyalty is exactly the strategy that the military division believes in!"

Xi Long and Li You, two great talents with astonishing wisdom, think of a plan at the same time, how can it be impossible?Wen Han was determined, so he sent someone to write back.

In the notice.

"When I retreat slowly, and when all the soldiers have retreated, I hope I can keep my word and give it to a county in Guangwei."

After the letter was passed on, Wen Han taught him to dismantle the shed, expressing his intention to retire from the army.Although Ma Chao got the book, he was very happy but had some doubts in his heart, so he quickly searched for Cheng Gongying to discuss it.

"Although Wen Bufan is Xu He, his tricks are treacherous and treacherous, and his deceit is unpredictable. If you are not prepared, you will be controlled by him. How should we guard against it?"
