Hum! Han Sui snorted coldly and replied: "It doesn't mean anything, the old man is here to be in the alliance, not to be angry." ”

"Moreover, the Western Liangmu, it is not Cao Cao who is sealed, it will work, and it must be recognized by the various forces in the Western Liang before it can become the real Western Liangmu."

Han Sui's meaning is very simple, that is, to tell Ma Chao not to think that he has won the position of pastor of a state, so he will give orders to them.

Ma Chao, who had already stood up, trembled with anger when he heard this, and wanted to draw his sword out, but fortunately, Pang De on the side stopped him in time.

Pang De pulled Ma Chao and said softly: "Lord Zhou Mu, this is the time for cooperation between the two sides, and we must not cause contradictions, otherwise I am afraid that Zhong Xuan will find an opportunity." ”

Hearing Pang De's words, Ma Chao's eyes rolled slightly, the hand holding the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, sat down and said, "Okay, the enemy is now, and the state pastor will not be entangled in these." ”

"But the headquarters lost 5,000 soldiers and horses in today's battle, and the rest will be handed over to you, don't pretend to tackle key problems, otherwise when Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, there will be only retreat."

Han Sui shook his head and said: "Just rely on me to wait, it will definitely not work, Mazhou Mu will recuperate for three days, and then put into the attack sequence, what does Mazhou Mu think?" ”

Judging from the casualties of Han Sui and others, the number of casualties in three days is the same as that of Ma Chao in one day.

And Ma Chao also knew this, and said slowly: "General Han, Benzhou Mu has watched you for three days, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go up to Guanlou." ”

Ma Chao's ridicule made the faces of the generals present slightly hot, but for Han Sui, it had no effect at all.

Han Sui said disapprovingly: "The danger of Cao Jun occupying Tongguan, whether he can climb the tower is indeed difficult to guarantee, after all, not everyone is as brave as Mazhou Mu. ”

A compliment made Ma Chao's anger decrease slightly, and his face became better-looking. "General Han is self-aware, so according to you, when will this Tongguan be captured?"

Han Sui smiled and said: "It's hard to say, but I thought that no matter whether or not Tongguan was taken, the premise was to keep the army from suffering too many losses, otherwise even if it was taken, it would not be able to defend it." ”

Ma Chao said: "This is natural, but the loss that should be there cannot be avoided, and Cao Jun will not give up Tongguan by himself, instead of attacking slowly, it is better to increase the intensity of the attack and take it as soon as possible." ”

One has to be taken quickly, and the other has to be drawn slowly, the thoughts of the two, not to mention whether they are sincere or not, but on the surface they are completely inconsistent.

According to the rhetoric of the two, I am afraid that after talking for a few hours, they will not reach a consensus, in order to avoid the two from quarreling, Pang De can only gently persuade Ma Chao to make him temporarily retreat.

After being persuaded by Pang De, Ma Chao was also angry and helpless, stood up indignantly on the spot, glanced at everyone, and walked away.

Ma Chao left, so naturally Han Sui took over the overall situation, and Han Sui arranged it to let everyone go back to rest earlier.

The generals of Xiliang, who had been tired all day, returned to their respective tents and began to unload their armor, ready to relax.

Cheng Yin took off his armor, sat on the dark table in the tent, ordered someone to fetch the wine, and was drinking alone, but the comfortable time was not half an hour, and suddenly a soldier ran into the tent and whispered a few words in his ear, so that he did not drink Yaxing on the spot.

Cheng Yin looked at the soldier in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Can the identity of the person who came be confirmed, does anyone else know?" ”

The soldier replied: "General Hui, there is a letter from Zhong Xuan's own handwriting, the person who came is wearing our army uniform, and his accent is also Xiliang, so he should not have attracted attention." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Yin nodded and said, "Okay, go and bring him, remember not to let people find out." ”

The soldier arched his hand and said, "Don't worry, the villain knows how to do it." ”

The soldier bowed his eyebrows and quickly left the tent.

Looking at the back of leaving, Cheng Yin's face showed a hint of contemplation, Zhong Xuan sent someone here at this time, he must have wanted to convince himself to surrender on the spot.

Zhong Xuan is the disadvantaged party at this time, he must be extremely important to him, and he should try his best to meet the conditions.

Ma Chao and Han Sui were at odds again, if Cao Cao eased up, they would not be opponents, and surrendering to Cao Cao was the only wise choice.

Just when Cheng Yin was thinking nonsense, the previous soldier brought a person into the tent.

As soon as the man saw Cheng Yin, he saluted respectfully and said, "The villain sees General Cheng." ”

Cheng Yin waved his hand to let the leading soldier out, and then said, "Get up, Lord Zhong asked you to come, I don't know what is important?" ”

The man stood up and said, "Lord Zhong's intention is to let the general lead his troops to surrender tomorrow." ”

Seeing that it was as he thought, Cheng Yin opened his mouth and said, "Oh, I don't know what conditions Lord Zhong is driving? ”

The man replied: "Lord Zhong said, the general's request should be met as much as possible, and it is inevitable that he will be waiting for the position. ”

As long as you surrender, you can wait, Cheng Yin said with a little heart: "Well, this general is also familiar with Lord Zhong at first sight, but there are some things, it is more appropriate to make it clear first." ”

"If you want the general to surrender, you can, but the general's headquarters will be returned to his own command, and after the war, he must stay in Tongguan and not be transferred elsewhere."

Cheng Yan's method is that he is afraid that he will surrender, and then he will be transferred to another place, and the soldiers and horses will be taken away, and he will really become a waste of people at that time.

For this is not an excessive request, that person naturally won't say anything, before he came, he had to explain to Zhong Xuan and try his best to meet Cheng Yin.

The man smiled and said, "General Cheng, rest assured, this request, the villain can call the shots, I don't know when the general is going to do it?" ”

Cheng Yin thought for a while and said: "Of course, the sooner the better, once this matter is too long, people will definitely see through it." ”

"In this way, you go back and tell Lord Zhong that when the day comes, Ben will lead the army to attack the fortifications, and then ask him to open the gate and let the soldiers and horses of the headquarters enter."

"Hmm." Cheng Yin's method made that person fall into a temporary silence, in case Cheng Yin had his heart, then Tongguan would face the possibility of losing it.

In order to minimize the danger, the man thought for a while and said: "Yes, but when the generals and horses enter the attack range of Tongguan, they should face the ground with their weapons and discard the flags." ”

Hearing the request, Cheng Yin thought for a while and agreed, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people, and Zhong Miao has fewer soldiers and horses at this time, so it is understandable that he has such a move.

Reaching a consensus, the man was polite, and immediately left the tent and brought the news back.

And Cheng Yin also gathered his henchmen after the man left, and began to secretly discuss the surrender.

Regarding the surrender of Cao Cao, these people naturally agreed in their hearts, after all, in this place of Xiliang, there is no decisive force, and it is not respected.

And by surrendering to Cao Cao, they can be promoted, and they don't have to worry about that wheel as cannon fodder, and they don't have to worry about being swallowed up by others.
