Soon, Ma Chao was pushed to Ma Teng by the five flowers.

This time, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't argue, so when the soldiers came up to tie him up, he didn't resist and let the soldiers tie him up.

"Father, listen to my explanation, this is Liu Ping's little child in the pit, please father Mingjian," Ma Chao knelt in front of his father and argued.

"Liu Pingkeng, you?" Ma Teng sneered, "Then tell me, how did he cheat you?" ”

He ...... When he let his son come back, he left his back hand, deliberately dug a pit and waited for him to jump in again, but he didn't know for a while, and he fell for his trick by mistake. ”

"Oh? He let you come back, and you know that you can go back again? ”

Ma Teng was furious, waved his hand and said, "Besides, why didn't Liu Ping kill you, but put you back again and again, are you a fool to me?"

Is this just for you to borrow one of my soldiers to die?

Come on, drag it down, and cut this rebel off. ”

"Father, my son is wronged, father," in fact, Ma Chao didn't understand why Liu Ping would let him go three times and twice as a prisoner.

Seeing that after that guy ordered the killing of the 5,000 soldiers, in that place where the corpses were like mountains and blood was full of blood, he could still talk and laugh happily as usual, obviously he was not a soft-hearted person.

At this time, a personal soldier came over and pressed Ma Chao's shoulder, but his eyes looked at the surrounding generals.

Immediately afterwards, the generals around Ma Teng fell down, and it was Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and other brothers, as well as Pang De and Pang Yi and many other generals.

"Uncle, Brother Meng Qi is your son after all, everything he does must be helpless," Ma Dai first hugged his fists and said: "Now that my brother is back, why doesn't my uncle allow him to make meritorious contributions to atone for his previous mistakes?" ”

"Yes, my lord," Pang De also said beside him: "General Meng Qi has the courage of ten thousand people, it is my Xiliang Tiger, before our army conquered Tianshui, he killed the general, and the army was ominous, and I implore the lord to spare General Meng Qi for the time being." ”

In fact, although Ma Teng had many doubts about what Ma Chao had done, he still couldn't bear to kill his son.

After all, after many sons-in-law were killed, Ma Chao was already his most suitable heir.

Ma Teng snorted coldly, looked at Ma Chao who was kneeling on the ground and said, "If it weren't for the intercession of the generals, I would have killed you today."

For the time being, you are allowed to serve in front of the army and be incorporated into the Bozhan army as an ordinary soldier to see the after-effects. ”

"Thank you, father, thank you!" Ma Chao made a circle, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I will do my best to kill Liu Ping in the future, in order to prove my innocence." ”

Ma Teng looked at the sky, it was almost dawn, these things had been tossed all night, and people were already sleepy.

"Order, set up camp here, rest for a day tomorrow, and start the siege the day after tomorrow."

"No!"

The Ma family soldiers began to set up camp.

……

In Tianshui City, Liu Ping summoned all the generals over.

"Now that more than 60,000 troops and horses of Ma Teng have been stationed ten miles away, and we only have 20,000, how can we resist the enemy?" Liu Pingdao.

"20,000 versus 60,000, the difference is not big," Zhang Liao once defeated Guo Yuan's 20,000 army with 800, and he naturally had confidence in his heart, he first said: "Let the last general lead the cavalry to attack the opponent's formation, and the rest of the army will then cover up, and it is not impossible to defeat the invading enemy." ”

"Lao Zhang don't be impulsive," Liu Ping said: "The reason why you were able to defeat Guo Yuan's army in the first place is that no one under Guo Yuan can match your Lao Zhang."

Therefore, if Guo Yuan was killed, Yuan's army collapsed.

However, the Ma army is different, then Ma Chao Pang De can fight with your Lao Zhang, and then the two sides will fall into a tug-of-war, which will be unfavorable to our side. ”

Liu Ping said, glancing at Cheng Gongying.

Although Cheng Gongying has just joined, he is far above everyone in terms of resourcefulness, Cheng Gongying clasped his fists and added: "According to the last general, the lord probably doesn't want to fight hard with the Ma clan, so even if he wins, it will definitely be a miserable victory, and I don't know how many military horses will be lost by then." ”

Liu Ping nodded: "That makes sense, then what do you say should be done now?"

Is it just to be a turtle with a shrunken head and guard the sky and water? ”

Liu Ping knew that it would definitely not work to rely on defense alone, and most of the grain stocks shown to Ma Chao at the beginning were fake, in order to attract Ma Chao to come and sneak attack.

If Tianshui City is really besieged by Ma Teng, the food in the city will be supported for less than a month.

"Passive defense is not the best policy," Cheng Gongying said: "The so-called poison is better than starvation, why don't you take advantage of the fact that the horse army has not been encircled, send a group of soldiers out of the city, cruising in the rear of the enemy, in order to attack and disturb the enemy's grain route."

If you have the opportunity, you can achieve great things. ”

"Okay, robbing grain, General Chenggong's plan is very good," Liu Ping couldn't help but shoot the case, stroking his palms and laughing.

With Cheng Gongying here, it can indeed save him a lot of thoughts.

This move fascinated Zhang Liao and the others, and the plan to cut off the other party's grain route will be written in this military book, so what kind of trick is it?

You want to rob the grain road, could it be that Ma Teng has been in Xiliang for more than ten years, and he has fought countless battles large and small, and he doesn't know how to send troops to protect the grain road?

When everyone was suddenly, Liu Ping opened his mouth and said: "I ordered Daci and General Chenggong to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to rob grain."

As for how to arrange it, Daci has to listen to General Chenggong. ”

"Lord, this movement of grain robbery is a bit big, isn't it?"

Xu Huang next to him was also puzzled, there were only 20,000 people in the city, and Liu Ping actually sent a quarter of the soldiers and horses to rob the grain, and the leader of the grain robbery turned out to be the first combat force like Tai Shici.

This is to rob grain, obviously to rob grain.

"It's just to make the movement bigger to ensure that nothing goes wrong," Liu Ping smiled, and then nodded at Cheng Gongying.

Cheng Gongying didn't expect Liu Ping to trust him so much, he had just been here for a few days, and he asked him to command an army, and even Tai Shici obeyed his orders, and he couldn't help but be very moved.

And Tai Shici was arranged to listen to Cheng Gongying, a newcomer, and he seemed a little unconvinced, but he was glared at by Liu Ping, so he bowed his head and was silent, he was still very afraid of Liu Ping.

The two quickly ordered 5,000 elite Danyang soldiers and took all the dry food out of the city for a few days.

"General Chenggong, let's go out of the city this time, I'm afraid it's not as simple as robbing grain, right?"

Tai Shici is not a brave and unscrupulous person, and he can also see that Liu Ping and Cheng Gongying sing and harmonize, obviously have other plans.

"If it's just to rob the grain, it's more than enough to send me alone, and there is no need to bother General Chenggong with me."

"I can't hide anything from General Ziyi," Cheng Gongying hadn't been here long after all, and he didn't dare to let him override Tai Shici.

After all, I heard from the soldiers that this Tai Shi Ci is not only superior in force, but also Liu Ping's first confidant, and he does not dare to make a mistake.

"The lord does have other arrangements, but our current task is to rob the grain first."
