Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

The Chu army in Mei County has only half of its strength left, that is, an army of [-].Most of the rest were injured, and those who were not injured were also extremely tired.Kou Feng once surnamed Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, Chen Da and others with [-] troops stationed in big cities or passes.

It's really tight.It took Zhang Fei and the three of them more than half a day to select soldiers, reorganize them, and lead the troops to the east.

Afterwards, according to Kou Feng's order, Pang Tong first sent someone to notify Fazheng to assemble the army.Then, he ordered Xiang Chong, Ma Di, Xu Sheng and others under his tent to reorganize the army and start recuperating.

In this battle, except for defeating the tiger and leopard cavalry and allowing Ma Teng to escape, the Chu army basically had nothing to gain.Because Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others escaped, there were almost no prisoners.

However, he has mastered the situation of the entire world, which is an intangible and huge gain.

To the northwest, on the bank of the Yellow River, there is a small town called Changku, which is not very big, with a population of only a few thousand.But this city has now become the best shelter for Ma Teng's remnants.

At this moment, Ma Teng's army has all entered the city.

In the city, in the county magistrate's office.Ma Teng sat on the upper seat, and below them were Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Pang De.

None of the four people's faces were normal, they were all gloomy.Amidst the gloom, there is still anxiety about the future.

Even if the blood is as strong as Ma Chao and Yan Xing, these two are famous generals in the Northwest, and they are both champions of the three armies.Ma Chao was later a general of Shu.

But at this moment, he also felt fear.

Especially Ma Chao, he instigated Ma Teng to establish the country in the front, and asked to lead his troops to resist Chu.That is self-reliance on bravery, many soldiers and generals.But now, Qin's army was defeated twice by Kou Feng.

The Xiliang iron cavalry had already lost more than half of their infantry in the previous battle, and now they have consumed more than half of their infantry in the first battle.The cavalry also lost a lot, and what's even more rare is that they have no foreign aid.

Since the first battle, Wei Guo also lost Cao Hong, and the army lost a total of [-] troops including tiger and leopard cavalry, infantry, and ordinary cavalry.What is left in Wei State?

For the first time, Ma Chao felt a little fear for the action of fighting for world hegemony.

"Father, how should we take the next step?" To be honest, Ma Chao was hesitant to Ma Teng in the past, and he looked down on Ma Teng's aging situation, but now he is like a drowning man, catching This is the last straw, I hope Ma Teng can make a decision.

"Now, does Chao'er still want to compete with Kou Feng?" Ma Teng asked without answering immediately.

Ma Chao was taken aback when he heard the words, then immediately shook his head and said: "Even if the child is arrogant, he dare not say anything about leading the army to compete with Kou Feng at this moment."

But really a little timid.

"Okay. To be a general, you must have fear. You can't just show off your bravery. It's best to supplement it with wisdom. Only then can you be called a famous general. Now that Chao'er has fear in his heart, his future is boundless."

Ma Chao's loss of ambition not only did not disappoint Ma Teng, but was very happy.

This son has always been Ma Teng's pride, but he is also vaguely worried that the strong Ma Chao may not be able to defeat the powerful princes, such as Cao Cao, Kou Feng, etc., and that even Han Sui may be able to surpass Ma Chao in conspiracy and tricks .

If after his death, Ma Chao conquered the world relying on his bravery, the possible end would be the death of his family.Now, with fear, he is willing to admit defeat and lose to Kou Feng.

In this way, although the country is not preserved, their Ma family will be able to live in peace.

Ma Teng's joy also faintly penetrated some taste.That means Ma Teng has decided to surrender.Otherwise, it would be impossible to be happy with Ma Chao no longer relying on his bravery.

This made Pang De and Yan Xing think deeply.

Ma Teng also glanced at Pound, Yan Xing, Pound is okay, he is his general, and he is a loyal man, Pound will follow him no matter what he does.

But Yan Xing was Han Sui's son-in-law.Now Han Sui is outside Wuwei City, thousands of miles away, and inside the Qiang camp.

There is a very obvious gap between Yan Xing and Ma Tengjun.

"What do you mean it's not just General Yan?" Ma Teng asked tentatively.And the murderous intent flashed in his heart, if Yan Xing obeyed, it would be fine, if he didn't, he would be killed on the spot.

Although Yan Xing was Han Sui's son-in-law, he was relatively loyal.But when the current situation is all leading to Jingchu, it is impossible to become an enemy with Kou Feng.

After thinking for a while, he immediately said: "Surrender or resistance, it's up to Lord Qin to decide."

What Yan Xing said was clever and ambiguous, but he just asked Ma Teng to make the decision.What if he got it wrong?This is an early vaccination.

Ma Teng was very appreciative in his heart, nodded and said: "In today's world, Kou Feng's advantage is too obvious, Gu decided to go to the Guobao family."

"Master Qin is wise."

Seeing that Ma Teng clearly stated that he wanted to surrender, Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down.

"What is wise, it's just knowing the current affairs." Ma Teng smiled wryly and waved his hand.

"Father, since you surrendered, why do you have to lead your troops to defend yourself?" Ma Chao asked a little puzzled.

"If the defeated army surrenders, we will be in a state of embarrassment, and the credit will be small. At this moment, we are struggling to rein in our soldiers, and we still have the strength to fight again. If we surrender at this time, the credit will be much greater. Now the family and the country can no longer be preserved. The old man should also think about Ma Shi."

Ma Teng calculated wisely that he didn't even want to call himself Gu, but instead called himself old man.

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing suddenly realized that this was the case, and they admired Ma Teng's scheming in their hearts.

"Anyway, that's it. You go down to rest and organize your soldiers first. Even if you surrender, don't be confused." Ma Teng said.

"What about the food problem?" Ma Chao asked.When they came out, they were in a state of distress. They only brought back soldiers and lost all their belongings.

"Let's recruit the people in the city first, but please speak nicely. Let me say that the Chu State has come here. I intend to surrender. I just wait for the opportunity. I ask them to provide food. Afterwards, Kou Feng, the emperor of Chu, will return it."

Now that things are going on, Ma Teng also values ​​peace. If it was usual, he would ignore these things and forcibly recruit food.

"promise."

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing made a promise, and immediately turned around and went down to work.

"Going to Guobao's house, how can you know it's not a blessing." After the three left, Ma Teng paused for a long time, and finally smiled slightly.

At the beginning, he also gradually felt that he was old and his ambition was gone.He didn't have the intention of raising troops to fight for hegemony, but Ma Chao was brave and energetic, so he joined his son's army.

Later, his own ambitions swelled. Even though Ma Chao was defeated, he still joined forces with Cao Hong to attack Mei County. When he was in Mei County, he still wanted to capture Kou Feng alive, occupy Liangzhou, and expand the power of Qin.

It can be said to be blind and arrogant, but now all sanity has returned.

Ma Teng knew that he lost his rights and status, but kept his family and the Ma family, which was considered a blessing.

Therefore, at this moment, Ma Teng's heart is more relaxed than the bitterness of failure.

"Father, the army has re-stated, and there are more than 100 soldiers including the wounded." Soon after, Ma Chao came back and reported.

"Sixty-eight thousand and one hundred people."

After hearing this number, Ma Teng gasped and said.

They retreated in a disciplined manner, and there were very few soldiers who scattered and fled without knowing their destination.In other words, when they set off, there were 18 troops, and more than 11 died outside the city of Mei County, plus the losses of the Chu army.

Nearly 20 people were buried at once. Except for a fierce general like Bai Qi, anyone who heard this number would gasp.

"Divide it into three parts, and hand them over to the three of you. When the Chu army goes north, we will surrender." Ma Teng calmed down a little, and ordered.

"No." Ma Chao promised, turned around and walked out again.

"How long will it be?" Ma Teng faced forward and thought to himself.Relying on the intuition of a veteran, Ma Teng dared to conclude that Kou Feng would solve his worries, that is, the Qiang people would rise up to fight Cao Cao.

This is not an unsubstantiated guess, but a judgment based on Kou Feng's own ruthlessness towards alien races.

That person Kou Feng would not allow the Qiang people to occupy Xiliang.

Mei County.

After ten days of rest, most of Chu's army has recovered.After all, they are all strong soldiers, and their recovery ability is still very strong in the absence of war.

The rest are seriously wounded, or have broken hands, arms, or wounds.

In the prefect's mansion, Kou Fenggao sat on the throne, and under him were Pang Tong, Xu Sheng, Xiang Chong, Ma Su and others.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of [-] soldiers in Mei County who can move with the army." Pang Tong reported to Kou Feng.

"Thirty-eight thousand people."

Although he was prepared in his heart, after hearing this number, Kou Feng still sighed. Although this battle was won, more than half of the 12 army was buried outside the city.

After all, he is also experienced in hundreds of battles and has seen countless lives and deaths.Kou Feng quickly put away the sigh in his heart, nodded and said: "For the time being, this army will be handed over to you as the commander. Tomorrow, the army will go north and go to Xiliang."

"No." Pang Tong promised and said.

The problem itself is almost the same. After all, the Chu army is strong, and some follow-up supplies and food issues are very abundant.

Next, of course, is the external problem.

Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, and Chen Da's [-] elite soldiers headed east. At this time, Chen Da had already captured Chang'an.Deng Ai and Zhang Fei have led their troops through Tongguan to Sili.

It is estimated that Zhang Fei's [-] elite soldiers are already stationed at Hulao Pass, just waiting for the news to come.

In other words, now there is only one Ma Teng problem left.Sitting in constant pain, recharge your batteries.This is worth looking into.

Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and he had some guesses in his mind.

old fox.
