With the participation of 5,000 soldiers and horses from Ma Chao's headquarters, the battle situation became even more one-sided, and it was completely a massacre.

Ma Chao led the army to pursue nearly 100 miles, killed nearly 10,000 people, captured more than 3,000 people, and captured countless grains and grasses.

Ma Chao retreated, and the coalition army continued to retreat thirty miles, sending hundreds of scouts to prevent Ma Chao from making a comeback, so he carefully set up camp and gathered the remnants.

After the main village was built, the generals of the coalition army couldn't wait to gather together, ready to discuss what to do next.

Originally, they came to attack others with great momentum, but they didn't expect to be killed and fled, and the generals of the coalition army all looked extremely ugly.

Li Kan died in battle, and all the troops belonged to Cheng Yin, he was naturally happy, and he was even thinking of poisonous plans in his heart, wishing that all these people would die in battle, so that he could control the army alone.

Cheng Yin glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Everyone, we have promised Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and we have Prime Minister Cao Cheng's backup, this battle is only the first defeat, why are you so depressed?" ”

When the candidate heard this, he laughed at himself and said, "Prime Minister Cao? I knew that I didn't listen to Mao Jie's demagogy at the beginning, and in today's battle, our department lost thousands of soldiers and horses. ”

"That's right, Cao Cao just wants to borrow our strength to consume Ma Chao's troops, so that he can sit and collect the fisherman."

"That's right, this is a conspiracy, I would have thought that we should withdraw our troops at this time and return to their rule."

……

Hearing the constant sound in his ears, Cheng Yin said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet, since the prime minister has promised, then I can also ask him for help when I am defeated at this time, it is better than withdrawing now." ”

The First World War alliance collapsed, and the news would spread throughout Xiliang at that time, and at that time, their status would definitely be damaged in the minds of the soldiers under their command.

If it doesn't work, there will be a mutiny among his subordinates and a switch to Ma Chao, and Cheng Yin's suggestion at this time is the best for them.

The idea is good, but will Cao Cao agree?

The candidate said worriedly: "Ask Cao Cao for help at this time, will he send troops?" ”

Cheng Yin said: "If the prime minister does not send troops, I will disperse later, wouldn't it be more justified than now." ”

The army is newly defeated, so it is also a good choice to stop and stabilize the morale of the army, and then find an excuse to withdraw from the army.

This method has the best of both worlds, and the generals thought for a while, and then happily agreed, so they immediately sent messengers to Tongguan to ask for help.

A few days later, the allied envoys arrived at Tongguan to explain the situation of the request for help, and the guard general Zhong Xuan learned that he sent someone to send the news to Xuchang while continuing to inquire about the battle situation.

Knowing all the situation on the battlefield, Zhong Xuan had a plan in his heart, and decided to personally lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to secretly go to support.

The coalition forces here invited helpers, and Ma Chao also invited helpers on either side.

Outside the city of Wuwei County, at this time, the 30,000-strong army was building a camp, and the newly built Shuai tent, at this time, the heads of the two sides were already meeting.

After the previous big victory, Ma Chao didn't care much about Han Tunnel, but looked like he was on top.

But Han Tunnel is also scheming, so naturally he will not show his unhappiness on his face, and the two are still communicating very happily.

Han Tunnel glanced at Ma Chao and said slowly: "Lord Zhou Mu's victory in the first battle is really gratifying, it seems that it will come, and it is no longer of much use." ”

Although Ma Chao didn't care about Han Tunnel's expression, Pang De on the side could pay attention at any time, and when he saw that he was not speaking right, he hurriedly spoke to ease up.

"General Han has 30,000 soldiers and horses, but it rains in time, how can it be said that it has no effect, Lord Zhou Mu invited you to come here to discuss major matters."

Looking at Pound's gestured eyes, Ma Chao also changed his tone slightly. "Yes, General Han grew up watching the Honshu pastor, and if there is a good thing at this time, he naturally wants to share it with the general."

Although he knew that there were a lot of falsehoods in this statement, Han Tunnel still felt better in his heart. "Okay, when is the state priest going to send troops to exterminate those rebels."

There is too much gossip, and it is not interesting to say, since it is to come to the alliance to send troops, Han Tunnel is not willing to wait longer, and immediately asks when to send troops, so that he can go back as soon as possible.

And when to fight, naturally Ma Chao was also worried about something, and immediately said with a smile: "Okay, it's better to lead the army tomorrow." ”

Han Tunnel came from afar, and the army was in the dust all the way, and if it was hurriedly pulled out tomorrow, I was afraid that the combat strength would decline.

Han Tunnel thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow is too urgent, the headquarters has not yet recovered its strength, and I am afraid that there will not be much combat power by then." ”

Ma Chao said with an indifferent face: "General Han, don't worry, when the time comes, your troops will clean up the battlefield in the rear, and the Honzhou Mu will lead the army to rush and kill." ”

As soon as these words came out, Pang De looked anxious, and Han Tunnel laughed wildly in his heart, and hurriedly responded, promising to send troops tomorrow, for fear that Ma Chao would regret it.

You don't have to lead the army to rush to the front, just clean up the remnants in the back, which is a beautiful difference.

Seeing that Han Tunnel had agreed, Pang De couldn't say anything, after all, he had to defend Ma Chaozhou's right to speak to outsiders.

However, if he can recover some losses, Pound is still willing. "If this battle is won, how is General Han going to divide the spoils?"

Hearing Pang De's question, Han Tunnel was overjoyed, he wanted to take advantage of Ma Chao's loophole, but now that he was asked about it, he could only answer unhappily in his heart.

"Since it's a trophy, naturally the two families share it."

Pang De shook his head and said: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, after all, it was the state pastor who led the army to rush and kill, and he had more strength, so naturally he had to share more." ”

When it comes to his own interests, Han Tunnel is naturally unwilling to give in. "Since the two armies cooperate, how can we judge who has the most credit, of course, it will be divided equally, so that both sides can be convinced."

Seeing the mother-in-law of the two, Ma Chao said with disdain: "Don't say it, the trophies General Han is fourth, and Honshu Mu is sixth, so it's decided." ”

Giving up Yicheng is still acceptable to Han Tunnel, so he smiled and said, "Okay, since Lord Zhou Mu has already spoken, I will obey it." ”

Seeing that the agreement had been reached, Pound couldn't interfere, so he could only endure it.

When the time for sending troops was set, Ma Chao and Han Tunnel exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

Entering the city, Pang De finally couldn't help it, patted his horse to catch up with Ma Chao and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, I just agreed that I am afraid that Han Tunnel will take advantage of the loophole." ”

Ma Chao replied with a cold face: "Han Tunnel, Benzhou Mu can let him get as much as he wants, and when this battle is won, he can't help it." ”

Hearing the cold voice, Pang De was shocked, and hurriedly admonished: "Lord Zhou Mu, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Han Tunnel is quite scheming, I am afraid that he will have a backhand." ”

If Ma Chao's raid on the Han Tunnel fails, then it will inevitably fall into a bitter battle, and it will not end in a day or two.

The strength of the two sides is about the same as each other, one is known for his bravery, the other is scheming, and Pound's concern is not unreasonable.

Han Tunnel would rather set up camp outside the city than enter the city, and his precaution is obvious.
