However, Yao Chong did not agree with Ma Chao's approach, "The two countries are at war, if you don't kill the envoys, what to decide, please think twice about the king, as for Sima Yi, just let him go back and resume his life!" ”

Ma Teng waved his hand, "Your envoy should go back first, as for whether you want to form an alliance, King Rong Ben will think about it again!" ”

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Sima Yi's face was overjoyed, he knew that Ma Teng said this, nine times out of ten, it would be done.

After Sima Yi left, Yao Chong also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ma Teng: "Is the king already interested in reuniting Wei to fight against Zhou?" If so, who should be sent to discuss the matter? ”

Ma Teng sneered and said, "How could this king say that he would cooperate with him Liu Bei again?" This king hates being threatened the most in his life, although it seems that it is indeed more beneficial to cooperate with Liu Bei now, but if he wants this king to be a person who goes back on his word, this king is unwilling! ”

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Ma Chao was very happy, stepped forward, and shouted: "Father is wise!" ”

"Then why did the king say think about it? It's better to reject it outright. Yao Chong really didn't expect that Ma Teng finally made this decision.

"Don't you know, sir? The soldier is treacherous! When this king said this, he wanted Liu Bei to relax his vigilance, and at the same time, General Gao's army would not have much impact. Come on, quickly send the order, let General Gao march quickly, and don't give Liu Bei's army the slightest respite! At the same time, he sent a message to Wu Ming, asking him why Liu Bei's heavy troops suddenly appeared in Bingzhou. ”

Ma Teng's resolute decisions and instructions made Yao Chong stunned for a while, he really didn't expect that Ma Teng still had this kind of courage now, which made him look at Ma Teng again.

"The king is wise!"

At least Ma Teng's response can temporarily reduce some pressure on the Xiliang army, and Ma Teng is unwilling to cooperate with Liu Bei again, which means that no matter what conditions Liu Bei offers, he will not agree - unless Liu Bei surrenders.

Ma Teng made such a decision, which was indeed determined by his own personality - if he was Liu Bei, he would definitely accept Sima Yi's proposal. It's just that Ma Teng's character is destined to never become a big thing. Yao Chong knew very well in his heart, so he didn't have any hope for Ma Teng's future.

The next day, Ma Teng asked a person to prepare to return to Yecheng with Sima Yi to discuss the alliance and the matter of ceding and annexing the state, but he asked Sima Yi to send someone back first, and asked Liu Bei to order no more battles with the Xiliang army.

War is constantly going on in the midst of such comings and goings.

After Li Jing rested for more than half a month, he decisively launched an attack on Hukou Pass, attacked for more than ten days or so, and suddenly found that the defense of Guanzhong suddenly became much weaker, although Li Jing did not know what was going on, but he could not let go of this opportunity, and immediately decided, directly took Hukou Pass, and at the same time continued to advance northward, Shangdang County did not have Liu Xiu at this time, and could no longer stop the footsteps of Li Jing's army, in just one month, Li Jing took almost all the counties and counties of Shangdang County.

After Sima Yi returned to Yecheng, he said what Ma Teng meant, and when Liu Bei was about to negotiate with the envoy about Xianzhou, he heard news from the front line, Gao Xianzhi suddenly launched an attack, resulting in a great defeat of Guan Yu's army in Lishi County.

This news immediately made Liu Bei very angry, and he roared: "Ma Teng'er bullied me too much!" Someone, kill the Xiliang envoy for me! ”

Even Sima Yi didn't expect that Ma Teng would play such a hand, and when he was in Xiliang, he didn't expect that this Ma Teng's acting could be so realistic.

"King Wei, his subordinates are incompetent!"

Sima Yi was very disappointed and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei, he had always thought that Ma Teng was a horseman, but he didn't expect to be played by Ma Teng this time.

"It's none of your business, since Ma Teng is determined to help Wu Ming, then the king has to let him know what the consequences of doing this are!"

Liu Bei didn't have any patience anymore, he knew that there was no room anymore.

Liu Bowen hurriedly asked, "What does King Wei want!" ”

"Let Liu Feng and Guan Zhang's second general fight back with all their might, and the Xiliang army must suffer heavy losses, and the other costs, this king will not hesitate!"

Hearing Liu Bei's desperate and crazy approach, Liu Bowen hurriedly persuaded: "King Wei can't!" If this is the case, wouldn't it really let Wu Ming reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

"What if not? Even if this king is willing to give up the state, then Ma Teng Xiaoer is still not satisfied, what can this king do? If he didn't let him know that it hurt, he would never think that he had done something wrong. ”

Liu Bowen was already at a loss at this time, even if he had made several clever plans before, which caused Wu Liren to suffer a lot of losses, but every time Wu Liren's army was extremely unfavorable, he was still able to find a glimmer of life, and even in other battlefields, Wu Liren gained greater benefits. Liu Bowen had a great sense of frustration, he didn't expect that he would wholeheartedly assist Liu Bei, a descendant of the Han family, but he was still defeated repeatedly, and under Wu Liren, it seemed that it was difficult for him to achieve a complete victory.

"Could it be that this Wu Ming is the real true son?"

In this way, Liu Bowen didn't dare to say it in front of people, but his heart became more and more intense about this thought.

"King Wei, the news that Guan Zhang Er will leave Yecheng must have spread, if the Zhou army comes to attack on a large scale at this time, who can stop it? With Yuanba's son, it is not enough to resist Wu Ming's several armies! ”

Now among Wu Liren's several soldiers and horses, although Guo Kan and Ran Min have suffered losses, they are not enough to break their muscles and bones; Xue Rengui did suffer heavy losses along the way, reducing more than half of his troops, and he was unable to launch an effective attack for the time being. However, Li Jing and Wu Liren had little impact on these two ways, and they could still launch powerful attacks. And Gao Xianzhi's army, although it suffered a defeat at this time, still had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, which was enough to pose a great threat to Liu Xiu and Guan Zhang in Bingzhou. If Liu Bei does not increase his troops at this time, then under the siege of Li Jing and Gao Xianzhi, Bingzhou will inevitably be lost, and when these armies besiege Jizhou together, Liu Bei will still have no way out.

Liu Bei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "With the intention of the military advisor, what should this king do now?" Wu Ming's army is pressing, this king is already difficult to protect himself, so Ma Teng Pifu is still so ignorant of advancing and retreating, what can this king do? ”

At this time, Liu Bei could only scold wildly in his heart: What can I do if I encounter such a pig teammate?

The scene was suddenly quiet, no one expressed their opinions, and at this time, it seemed to be a dead end.

At this moment, Yao Guangxiao, who had not spoken, walked out, "King Wei, instead of letting the Xiliang army capture Bingzhou, it is better to send it to him directly, even if he does not agree to the alliance, let him realize the sincerity of King Wei." After Ma Teng takes the annexed state, he will know the benefits and risks, and he may be able to redeem the defeat. ”
