Liu Yin was a little embarrassed, he knew very well that one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, now take advantage of the victory to pursue, it is possible to completely eliminate Lu Shuihu and Ma Lanqiang, if they are relieved for a winter, breathe a sigh of relief, then it will be difficult to destroy them.

Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, Liu Yin knows that dealing with the Hu people is like weeding, if you use the method of cutting, it will definitely not work, only by cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, can you never suffer from future troubles, but the problem now is that the weather is cold and freezing, which is not conducive to combat, and Liu Yin has the heart to dig the roots.

What's more, there is still a tiger in the northwest - Qi Wannian, and now Qi Wannian wants to cross the Wei River ******** attack Chang'an, so it has not threatened Liu Yin's back road, but if Qi Wannian turns back, Liu Yin may be at risk of being attacked by the enemy, and only by solving Lu Shuihu and Ma Lanqiang can the situation turn around.

Just as Liu Yin was pondering, Deng Ai floated over, stroked his beard and said: "Seeing that the lord is worried, but is it for the sake of Qianghu's refusal to fight?" ”

Liu Yin nodded helplessly and said, "Not bad." ”

Deng Ai smiled slightly: "The lord is in a hurry, why is there nothing to do about this Lu Shuihu and Ma Qianglan?" ”

Liu Yin sighed lightly and said: "Peng Hu is a dangerous village, he can't stick to it, the time is not with him, the location is unfavorable, what if he can't do it?" ”

There is indeed no good way to deal with the turtle shrinkage defense that does not fight to the death, and the only way to attack is to use a strong attack. In fact, the Shu army did not have the means to break through the camp of Lu Shuihu and Ma Lanqiang, if it took firearms as the guide, forcibly tore a hole, and used the power of foot cavalry to forcibly attack, so that it might be possible to break through the camp of Qianghu, but it is obvious that such a strong attack will inevitably cause great casualties, which is naturally unbearable for Liu Yin.

Compared with Lushui Hu Ma Lanqiang, the Shu army does not occupy any advantage in terms of strength, not to mention that the casualties and losses of the attacker are greater than those of the defender, according to the ratio of one to one, the Shu army cannot afford to consume, even if it can really capture Jingyang Dazhai, the main force of the Shu army will fight hard, how to fight the next battle?

Therefore, Duan Liu Yin, who used a strong attack, vetoed it early on, but Peng Hu and Ma Gelong hugged each other and did not fight, and Liu Yin was really a little helpless.

Deng Ai chuckled and said: "Lu Shuihu and Ma Lanqiang, if they are together, they will be two strong, and if they are divided, they will be defeated. ”

Of course, Lu Shuihu and Ma Lanqiang are not an iron alliance, if it were not for the attack of the Shu army, the two would not be happy, it is precisely because of the arrival of the Shu army that they feel that they are in crisis, so they must not be united by donating their previous suspicions and hatred of the enemy, especially Ma Lanqiang's Ma Gelong, although he is a leader, but because the base area was destroyed, he had to lower his posture and form an alliance with Lu Shuihu as a vassal.

Such an alliance is obviously not strong, and those mutual enmities are deep-rooted, and they can not be easily resolved, and temporary alliances cannot alleviate long-standing feuds.

But the key is how to destroy their loose alliance, now that the enemy is present, neither Peng Hu nor Ma Gelong will give up this temporary alliance, because they also know the truth that if they win, they will lose, and between the Shu army has not retreated, it is very difficult to break up this alliance.

"Does Mr. Ai have a plan?" Liu Yin still admires Deng Ai's resourcefulness very much, since he said so, it means that Deng Ai is in the chest.

Deng Ai smiled calmly and said: "Why don't the lord follow Cao Cao's plan to divide Ma Chao and Han Sui back then, make the two of them resentful, and then break them apart." ”

When Ma Chao and Han then raised troops to fight for Guanzhong with Cao Cao, Ma Chao was brave, Cao Cao was invincible, Cao Cao listened to Jia Xu's suggestion, separated Ma and Han, Cao Cao deliberately wrote a vague letter, in addition to the urgency of the words, he smeared it and then sent the letter to Han Sui, and deliberately let Ma Chao know. Ma Chao is a straightforward person, knowing Cao Cao's letter, he went to ask for it, and saw that there were many smears in the letter, so he became suspicious.

Deng Ai's words gave Liu Yin a lot of inspiration, although Liu Yin may not use the same method of wiping books, but how to use this discordant strategy, Liu Yin has some considerations.

So Liu Yin wrote a letter and sent an envoy to the camp of Lushuihu.

Peng Hu heard the Shu army fighting every day, and did not pay attention to it, but ordered the battalions to hold out, and ignored the Shu army's provocations in every way. Hearing that the Shu army sent an envoy to come, he was slightly surprised, so he let the Shu army envoy into the camp.

The envoy entered the camp and presented the letter, and Peng Huzhi laughed: "Liu Yin is poor, you go back and tell him, these little tricks don't have to be taken out to embarrass people, and if you have the ability to break the camp of this king, this king should bow down and be a minister." ”

The messenger resigned and surrendered.

The left and right were very curious, and asked Peng Hudao: "What is written in the letter of the Shu people that caused the king to laugh so much?" ”

Peng Hu said: "Liu Yin wants to make peace with this king in his letter, he said that he has no hostility with me Lu Shuihu Ben, but he is a mortal enemy with the Ma Lanqiang people, as long as this king gets rid of Ma Gelong according to the permission, they can withdraw their troops and never commit Lu Shuihu again." ”

Both left and right said: "That's a good thing, we have a grudge with the Malanqiang people for generations, and we killed the Magelon Shu soldiers and retreated, why not?" ”

Peng Hu shook his head and said: "This is just Liu Yin's divisive plan, now we are relying on each other with Ma Gelong, sticking to no fight, Liu Yin is helpless, if you really want to get rid of Ma Gelong, how can Liu Yin keep his promise, I am afraid that Lu Shuihu is also difficult to protect." ”

At this moment, a sudden message was sent from outside the camp asking to see him.

It turned out that the camp of Ma Gelong and the camp of the Lu Shuihu people were not far apart, and the messenger of the Shu army swaggered to the Lu Shuihu camp, and the Ma Gelong side naturally knew that Ma Gelong sent people under the fence, and he was always in danger, and when he heard that the Shu people sent an envoy to contact Peng Hu, he suddenly became suspicious, and immediately came to the Lu Shuihu camp.

"I don't know why the Shu people sent messengers to come?" After entering the camp, Magron asked bluntly.

Peng Hu smiled and said: "It's nothing, the Shu army can't attack the village, it's just trying to make peace." ”

"Summation?" The suspicions in Ma Gelong's heart have not dissipated, the battle between the two sides is stalemate, there is no winner or loser, and the Shu army obviously has the upper hand, at this time it will actually propose peace, which is a bit unbelievable.

Seeing that Ma Gelong didn't believe it, Peng Hu took out Liu Yin's letter, handed it to him and said, "Liu Yin's letter is here, you can see it." (To be continued.) )
