"You are Ma Chao." Fei Yao drew his sword in panic and held it in front of his chest, with several guards protecting him behind him.
Ma Chao pressed the bridle and held his gun, looked at Fei Yao and said with a smile: "Since you know my name, why don't you dismount and accept my surrender?"
Fei Yao didn't answer Ma Chao's words, but shouted angrily at Liang Qian diagonally in front of him: "Liang Qian, you are deeply favored by the country, why would you become a thief?"
Liang Qian snorted: "Cao Pi is a treacherous traitor who usurped the Han Dynasty and established himself. He is the thief of Yanhan. The King of Hanzhong is the royal family. Sooner or later, he will reshape the artifact and take over the Central Plains. General Fei might as well surrender, which can be regarded as abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side. Maybe I can get the merit of following the dragon."
"The traitor has such a sharp tongue that he lures me into his trap every day. Isn't he afraid of harming the Tianshui Liang family?" Fei Yao continued to fight.
The moment he saw Ma Chao, Fei Yao knew that he would not be able to fly today. He could only try his best to explain the pros and cons to Liang Qian, hoping that Liang Qian would "repent" for the sake of his people, and maybe there was still hope of escape, because Fei Yao did not dare to surrender.
During Cao Cao's time, the Wei State implemented a "staggered service system" in the military, which meant that soldiers and their families would not be in the same area. If a soldier on the frontline defected before the battle, his family members in the rear would soon be implicated. This was especially strict in border areas.
Fei Yao and his soldiers were mostly from the Central Plains and Hebei. They would rather become prisoners if defeated than surrender to the enemy and harm their families.
There are many Qiang, Di and other Hu tribes in the Liangzhou area, and governance is much more difficult than in the Central Plains where the ethnic groups are more pure. The Wei State has not yet been able to fully control it, and has not had time to move the families of Liangzhou officials to the Central Plains, so Liang Qian Jiang Wei had so few scruples about surrendering.
Liang Qian smiled: "How did Ma Chao know that you, Liang Qian, had surrendered? It was clearly General Fei and the enemy General Zhang who led the army to surrender. You were just too forced to do so."
"His vicious plan." The more Jiang Wei thought about it, the more he became afraid. As I spoke, I turned my horse's head and urged the guards to follow and break through the city gate.
Just as Jiang Wei ran out two or eight feet away, a young general with a spear immediately blocked his way. He looked closely and saw that it was Tianshui Qilin'er.
"Jiang Wei, stop struggling, get on your horse and be bound." Zhang Fei shouted with a gun.
"Ling Hua, it turns out you are mortal." Jiang Wei saw the other person's eyes widening, heard the slow sound of horse hooves in front of him, and instantly understood the rumor from last year.
Pang Tong went to Liangzhou to avenge Chen Cang? Taking Ling Hua abducted and giving it to Ling Hua to kill his enemies? It's all nonsense, everything is Pang Tong's conspiracy.
"It's helpful to speak less. Anyone who stands in your way will die." Chen Cang rode alone, his silver spear continuously piercing the armor of Ling Hua's guard.
Jiang Wei raised his sword to block Chen Cang, but due to the short length of the sword, I couldn't even get close, so Ling Hua used the back of his gun to hit my shoulder.
"Aye." The moment Ling Hua felt pain in his shoulder, he suddenly felt a tightness in his front waist, and was directly pulled up from the horse by Chen Cang.
Jiang Wei fell heavily to the ground. Just as he was about to struggle, he found a cold light on his neck. He saw Chen Cang sitting under the horse and looking down at him, "I'll tie you up."
Chen Cang captured the general Jiang Wei in Xiaguang City. In Xiaguang City, Cao Zhen asked Pang Tong to set up an ambush and suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Wei army brought by Ling Hua.
The Wei soldiers in the city were in a hurry and had a leader. Faced with the sudden battle, they could only deal with it in panic, but Ling Hua came unprepared.
The Wei army was like a sheep retreating from a pack of wolves, and collapsed at the first contact, and then surged towards the west like a tide. Pang Tong led his troops to chase them seventy miles away, beheading the first eight thousand soldiers, and then returned to Xiagui.
When these defeated soldiers fled, they vaguely heard that the general Jiang Wei had rebelled and Xiagui had fallen, so we were ambushed. Everything seemed so reasonable.
"It's so uncomfortable. I've been waiting for that battle for a long time." Pang Tong returned to Xiagui and happily shared his victory with everyone.
"What should we do next?" Chen Cang asked Cao Zhen for advice.
Cao Zhen stroked his beard and replied: "Of course we use Xiagui as a stronghold. The soldiers and horses blocking Ma Chao can retreat eastward, allowing Xiao Wang to attack Fei Yao without any scruples."
"Defending the city is generally interesting. The military counselor said that it would tie up our hands and feet. I thought we should keep the old way and continue to deceive the Liangzhou defenders to come to Xiagui. We will set up an ambush around there." Pang Tong suggested with a smile on his face. White teeth.
Cao Zhen shook his head: "At this moment, at that moment, Xiao Wang's main force has arrived at Feiyao, and our true intention has been exposed. Ma Chao should have received Zhang He's request for help, so you are just playing tricks with Ma Chao. You only need to defend Xiagui and Weishui Road, just stop Ma Chao and send reinforcements."
"Since the next battle is to defend the city, do we need so few troops outside? If the military advisor and Meng Qi stay in Xiagui to command, I will bring 10,000 people to Linghua to support?" Pang Tong came up hurriedly.
"Ma Chao doesn't have a hundred thousand people, and the city of Xia Gui is as strong as Fei Yao. If Ma Chao attacks at a cost, 20,000 people may not be able to withstand it. Yide might as well stay here. Meng Qi, if you want to continue hiding, It may be of no use at a critical moment." Ling Hua waved his hand in denial.
Pang Tong spread his hands and said, "There is a way. My brother gave me strict orders after the war. If there is no disagreement, just listen to the military advisor."
Chen Cang comforted him: "Zhang He will definitely hold firm in Fei Yao. The eight generals went here to attack the city, and the fighting may not be uncomfortable. If we stay in Xiagui, there may not be a small battle."
"Based on Meng Qi's words, when we retreat from Ji County before, I will help him find fewer enemies." As Pang Tong spoke, he noticed that Zhang Fei and Liang Qian had the right eyes, so he immediately added: "Both of them have They are good people, just because they are worried about Meng Qi killing them indiscriminately."
"Uh, General Zhang, military advisor, Xiagui County is located on the east side of Qishan Road. If the difficulty of dividing the troops to defend is defeated individually, and if all the troops are gathered around the county, Qishan Grain Road will fall into Ma Chao's hands." Zhang Fei Showing concern.
"Bo Yue's words are unreasonable. Doesn't the military advisor have the best solution?" Ling Hua asked slowly.
Ling Hua shook his head and replied: "There is a huge disparity in strength between you and Ma Chao. Qishan Road and Xiagui can only choose one of them. You have just sent people to Qishan and ordered the forward supply team to change their route to Xiaosanguan. We and Xiao Wang share a food Just say it.”
"If Ling Hua makes a desperate move and leads his soldiers to retreat from Qishan Road into Wudu, what can he do? The troops in Yizhou have been exhausted, who will defend that army?" Zhang Fei asked.
Cao Zhen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The people of Wudu were moved to ten houses and four empty houses by Cao Cao. If Ma Chao dares to lead one hundred thousand troops to enter from the Qishan Road, he will completely lose food and grass supplies. This is an act of committing suicide, even if there are not a large number of troops around him." Fei Yaodao said before, this is the end of the past and the end of the weak crossbow."
"Well, you are just assuming. If you put aside the facts, can Ma Chao bring those 100,000 people to Shu?" Zhang Fei put forward a hypothesis.
"It is absolutely possible that if Ling Hua makes a desperate move and changes his family, I will probably attack all of Longzuo. I will definitely still cry behind Yangping Pass. Even if I am lucky enough to break through Yangping Pass, how many living people will I have left? From now on? Wujian Pavilion on the south side of Jinniu Road blocks the way. If we retreat to Hanzhong to recuperate, we will probably be wiped out by Mianyang farmers." Pang Tong shook his head and smiled.
