The oath is common in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

At that time, in order to consolidate internal unity, the princes and ministers of various countries in the world wanted to fight against hostile forces, so a restrictive etiquette was held, which was the oath.

It was only during the Han Dynasty that the high-five oath appeared.

Such an oath is only a verbal agreement, and there is no covenant, and it is not like the later generations who will make contracts and other formalities. Maybe it is not legally binding, but in ancient times, the oath was a very serious matter, and the so-called word is difficult to chase, which is the truth, once the oath cannot be easily reversed.

Wang Can and Ma Teng high-fived the oath, which means that both sides must carry it out and must not be faked.

In this way, Wang Can took Chang'an without much effort and without spending a single soldier.

He thought that he had detained Ma Chao and Pang De, and he felt a little proud in his heart. Although this practice is despicable, the two armies are fighting, each has its own plans, and it does not matter what means are used, the most important thing is the result.

Historically, Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo, Zhou Yu burned Chibi, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, Lu Xun burned Yiling, the result of these battles were countless casualties, countless soldiers were buried in the fire and sea disaster, its strategy can be called vicious, smack-smacking, Wang Can detained Ma Chao, in order to threaten Ma Teng, although the means can be called despicable, but it is also the most direct, and it did not cost a soldier.

Wang Can picked up the wine bottle and saluted Ma Teng: "General Ma, I'm waiting for good news!" ”

Ma Teng stared at Wang Can, snorted twice, poured a sip of wine, and clenched his fists: "Farewell!" ”

Although Ma Teng agreed to Wang Can's request, it did not mean that Ma Teng was willing, especially for the sake of Ma Chao's safety, Ma Teng actually gave away the fierce generals under his command, which made Ma Teng very uncomfortable. On the surface, he recognized Wang Can's words, as if Pang De had really surrendered, but in his bones, Ma Teng could not be persuaded by Wang Can in a few words.

Because Wang Can's words are half-truths and half-truths, they can't be taken seriously.

However, all this was caused by Ma Chao.

If it weren't for Ma Chao thinking about meeting Wang Can for a while, there would be no today's situation.

Ma Teng got up to leave, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he wanted to behead that impulsive and arrogant son, or ignore Ma Chao's safety. However, Ma Chao is his most important son and cannot be abandoned, it can be said that Ma Chao has all the hopes of Ma Teng, which will make Ma Teng so regressive and forbearable.

He returned to his protective squire, turned on his horse, and walked back. When Ma Teng led the troops back to the camp, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

On the other side, Wang Can also ordered the soldiers to pack up their things and ride their horses back.

After Wang Can returned to the camp, he first went to Ma Chao's camp and told the news that Ma Chao was going to go back. Later, he went to the camp where Pound lived and told Pound that he had promised to send his wife and children. After Pang De learned the news, he was silent, Wang Can has already reached this point, what else can he do?

There is no alternative but silence.

……

The Western Liang Army, the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Ma Teng returned to the camp, the generals of the army came to the big tent to meet Ma Teng. They all want to know the final result, and want to find out how Ma Teng has done things?

Ma Teng glanced at the generals standing in the big tent, noticed that all the generals had expectant expressions, and said with a smile: "I have agreed to Wang Can's request to withdraw troops immediately and withdraw from Chang'an." Wang Can detained Pound and asked me to send Pound's wife and children to meet Pound, and I agreed. ”

When the words fell, the big tent immediately became a mess.

The generals' faces were as earth-colored as they were, with incredible expressions in their eyes.

It was too hasty to promise Wang Can like this, and it was too disregarded for the morale of the army. Once the news of Ma Teng's promise to Wang Can spreads, the soldiers under his command may immediately mutiny, because what Ma Teng did made the Xiliang Army lose face, but Ma Teng retreated again and again for Ma Chao, and also sent Pang De's family to Wang Can's camp, which is unacceptable.

Not only that, Ma Teng also smiled, which made the generals in the army feel low.

After a while, a tall and thin general stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general will have a word, and he will not vomit or be unhappy." ”

Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Say it, I will listen to you." ”

The general looked indignant, with an excited look on his face, and said: "The lord disregards the morale of the three armies and the face of the Xiliang army, and the lord agrees to Wang Can's request, which is the shame of my Xiliang army, and the general will be ashamed." Speaking of this, the general knelt on the ground with a plop, hugged his fists and said: "Please send troops to attack Wang Can, the last general is willing to be the vanguard, even if it is a battlefield that dies in battle, the last general has no regrets, if he retreats without a fight, it will be a shame for my Xiliang army!" ”

In the end, the general's eyes were slightly red, and his face was full of grief and indignation.

Immediately afterwards, another lieutenant stood up, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, although the life of the eldest prince is important, if the eldest prince knows that the eldest prince ignores the face of the Xiliang Army and constantly retreats, I am afraid that after the eldest prince knows, he will also be ashamed and indignant, and will not support the lord's idea, so please give the lord an order to attack Wang Can." ”

At this time, the generals in the big tent were all indignant and embarrassed.

Ma Teng saw everyone's expressions and said lightly: "Who else wants to speak, let's talk about it together!" ”

"Plop! Plop ......"

In the big tent, all the generals knelt on one knee on the ground, clasped their fists and said: "Please give the order of the lord to attack Wang Can!" "All the generals are out of the way, and they want to fight Wang Can to the death.

The so-called punishment does not blame the public, they all knelt down to petition, and Ma Teng could not punish at will.

It is normal for a soldier in the army to be shrouded in a horse leather and die on the battlefield.

However, retreating without a fight, he was still coerced by Wang Can everywhere, and he also sent Pang De's wife and children to Wang Can's camp, what kind of reason is this? has already lost the face of the Xiliang army, so the generals in the army disregarded their own safety, and asked Ma Teng for his life, wanting to go to war and lead the troops to attack Wang Can.

Ma Teng saw all the generals kneeling on the ground, raised their hands in vain, and said: "Stand up, listen to me, when I am finished, you think you should fight again, then lead the troops to fight, and the generals will never stop you." ”

"No!"

After hearing this, the generals all stood up, looked at Ma Teng, and waited for Ma Teng to explain.

Ma Teng said in a deep voice: "I can understand and understand your feelings. However, I led a large army to fight against Wang Can, and it is unknown whether I can defeat Wang Can? You are thinking about the morale of the army, and I am not only thinking about whether I can win this war, but also about Meng Qi's safety, so I will swallow my anger and agree to Wang Can's request. ”

"However, Wang Can is only arrogant for the time being, and he will definitely get back all his face."

"Although Wang Can is majestic for a while, he will never turn over."

"That's right! I did agree to Wang Can's withdrawal from Chang'an, but I didn't say that I would return to Xiliang. Wang Can wants to enter Chang'an, that's good, let's let him enter Chang'an, and when Wang Can relaxes his vigilance and leads the troops into Chang'an, we will unite Yang Feng in Chang'an City, attack inside and outside, encircle the two armies, and then kill Wang Can. ”

Ma Teng waved his fist heavily, and said impassionedly: "First agree to Wang Can's request, and then pretend to withdraw from Chang'an, so that Meng Qi can be rescued." When Wang Can led the troops into Chang'an, Yang Feng suddenly killed from the city, and then we suddenly killed back the carbine, so that Wang Can could be caught off guard and let him bury his bones in Chang'an. ”

His eyes burned, he looked at the generals below and asked, "What do you think of my plan?" Ma Teng stared at the generals in the big tent, his eyes flashing with a hint of killing intent.

"The lord is wise!"

I don't know who shouted first, and the rest of the generals also shouted.

Obviously, all the generals borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, agreed with Ma Teng's strategy, first led the troops to pretend to retreat, and then lured Wang Can into Chang'an, and finally killed back and killed Wang Can.
