Chapter 676 Meng Qi said that the enemy general was under the city
The result is really the worst, what you are afraid of. Ma Yan thought that Ma Chao should not come to Jizhou, don't come, or come, and don't come to Jingcheng in Changshan, but Ma Chao still came, and he arrived at Jingcheng after he took the Liangzhou army to enter Changshan from Bingzhou.
Of course, as early as when Ma Chao's Liangzhou army fought Jinyang, Ma Yan had already made adequate preparations, just to deal with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army. However, looking at the appearance of the Liangzhou Army now, although Ma Yan is prepared, he is still a little bottomless. After all, the reputation of the Liangzhou Army is there, Jinyang has already been breached, and Ma Yan doesn't think that his Jingcheng City is more difficult to break than the high-ranking Jinyang.
Now that the war has not started, Mayan has little confidence and is afraid. In fact, he had to be afraid, after all, there were 100,000 troops of the Liangzhou Army outside the city, and all along, the Liangzhou Army was invincible, and the city they wanted to take was not broken until now, this is not wrong, so Ma Yan really has no confidence-
At this time, Ma Chao and everyone were in the big tent, and the day was not the same as peace, so he began to discuss the matter of entering the army with everyone today.
I only heard Ma Chao ask: "What do you think, what should our army do about this well now?" ”
As a result, there was no movement below, and Ma Chao smiled when he saw it, "Since there is nothing to say, then I will name it, Dian Wei, you can tell me your opinion first!" ”
When Dian Wei heard this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart, "Lord, you still don't know about me?" Let me say, what can I say? You told me to go hunt a tiger and tie up a wild boar. That's no problem, but I'm afraid the problem of this war is ......
But there is no way, since his lord has named his own name, if he doesn't say a few words, it won't make people look down, so at this time, Dian Wei opened his mouth, "Lord, this." This, the subordinates think, our army should naturally attack the city with all its might, and take the well in one go! ”
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this. The heart says that you really said it, and there is not much difference between saying it and not saying it.
"Okay, I wonder what else you have to say?"
At this time, Wu Yi's eyes rolled. He had some ideas. Then he said: "Lord, do your subordinates think that you can persuade Ma Yanqi to surrender?" ”
When everyone heard this, they became interested. Yes, "a soldier who surrenders without a fight" is the highest level of using soldiers. Attacking a city is a strategy in the art of war. That's when there is really no way to do it. But if there is any other means, it is better to lobby and persuade surrender than diplomacy. If the goal can be achieved, then who will go to the siege and fight? It's just that everyone doesn't know much about Ma Yanqi, so they ......
Ma Chao smiled, "What Ziyuan said is not unreasonable!" It's just Mayan, and we don't know much about him. However, when the princes were discussing Dong, I had met him a few times, and to be honest, I didn't think that he could be loyal to Yuan Benchu, so what Ziyuan said could indeed be considered! ”
Ma Chao actually agrees with this, after all, from the perspective of the state, except for one Lu Weihuang and one senior cadre, the others really don't have Yuan Shao's loyalty. And Lu Weihuang can't be regarded as a diehard loyalty to Yuan Shao, he is loyal to Gao Gan. As for Gao Gan, in fact, it can't be said that he is a diehard, he really has no choice, so he has to be like that. As for the others, anyway, Ma Chao really didn't see that he was a diehard loyal to Yuan Shao, so now Ma Yan, Ma Chao is also optimistic about him, of course not optimistic about him.
Although when the princes were begging for Dong, Yuan Shao used him to lead troops to attack the city, but this does not mean anything. At least it can't be because he led troops to attack the city, it means that he is loyal to Yuan Shao, there is no such statement, and there is no reason for this. As for Ma Yan, it's better to test it first and then make a decision.
Sure enough, at this time, I heard Guo Jia say: "Lord, can Ma Yan and his people be persuaded or not, this has to be tested." So it's up to the lord to go out in person first, and then it depends on the situation! ”
Ma Chao nodded, "Fengxiao's words are very true, and so do I mean!" If Ta Mayan can really be persuaded and can be used by our army, then it is best that our army does not have to fight hard with the other army in Jingcheng, then otherwise, then, hehe, it can only be a strong attack on Jingcheng! ”
After listening to what his lord said, Guo Jia said: "Lord, if Ma Yan can be persuaded by our army, our army will also show its true strength to make Ma Yan afraid, and then, everything will be much easier!" ”
Ma Chao smiled, yes, that's it, basically he has always done this. He can surrender, but he still has a fluke mentality, so let him see that his own strength is not something he can defeat, and it is naturally easy to persuade him to surrender. Although after Ma Yan saw the strength of his own side, he would not surrender the city directly. But under the persuasion of the last side, there should be no problem. At least Ma Chao thinks that Ma Yan is not a die-hard loyalist, and he should still be a person who knows the times better-
When Ma Chao was not ready to attack the city, he first led his horse forward, and when he got closer, after stopping his horse, he shouted to the city: "General Ma, don't come unharmed?" ”
Naturally, this was said to Ma Yan at the head of the city, and Ma Yan heard it clearly. Of course, he still remembers Ma Chao's appearance, although many years have passed, but Ma Chao's changes are not particularly big. And the horse is still the same horse, and the weapon is still the same weapon.
Ma Yan hugged Ma Chao's fist: "Thanks to the general's concern, everything is fine." ”
In fact, Ma Yan slandered in his heart, if you Ma Mengqi don't come to attack my Jingcheng City, then it will be better for you. But he didn't dare to say this, he didn't dare to say half a word, and he couldn't.
Ma Chao nodded slightly when he heard this, "I think that back then, when the princes were discussing Dong, the general led the Jizhou army to fight the enemy under the Bishui Pass, but the scene of that year is still vivid in my mind." The general's courage is indeed unforgettable! ”
Ma Chao praised Ma Yan to the sky, what a brave man, back then, in Bishui Pass, the princes' coalition army took turns to fight, and no one got any bargain under Bishui Pass, including his Yuan Shao's Jizhou army. Speaking of which, everyone is the same, as for Ma Yan, he is just an ordinary general, and what else. If it weren't for Ma Chao's strong memory, he wouldn't have remembered such a person.
But to be honest, Ma Yan knew that Ma Chao was praising him, but he also liked to listen. After all, one thing is right, that is, Ma Mengqi, who is now a hussar general of the Han Dynasty, can still remember himself, a small general in the Jizhou army. This inevitably made Ma Yan a little proud in his heart, you see, although he has no reputation, even now, he is not famous, but when he led the Jizhou army to tackle the key problems under the Bishui Pass, it was remembered by the original Liangzhou herding horse Meng Qi.
I have to say that Mayan can really think about it. The key is that he is really happy, and he is so proud in his heart. Look, there were so many generals at the beginning, and others didn't know what to do, but they were remembered by Ma Mengqi. Anyway, this one is absolutely true, there is no fake.
And Ma Yan was a little embarrassed at this time, "Ha Luha, I didn't expect that the general still remembers the original incident so clearly!" ”
This Ma Yan's words, in fact, indirectly accepted all the words that Ma Chao praised him, what kind of bravery, he did not refuse to come.
Ma Chao nodded, "This is natural, in fact, I have been thinking at the beginning, if the Liangzhou army is full of talents like generals, then our army will be more invincible and not afraid of anyone in the world!" ”
Ma Chao said everything outside, his face was neither red nor white, as if he was telling the truth. However, Ma Yan was still a little self-aware after all, and when he heard it, he hurriedly waved his hand, and then said to Ma Chao: "The general is falsely praised, it is really too prestigious, too prestigious." I really don't dare to be in the next place, I don't dare to be it! The general should not say this again, how can he be like this! ”
Ma Yan is not so popular with Ma Chao that he doesn't know the east, west, north and south, so it's not bad. If he is replaced by an ordinary, arrogant and arrogant person, maybe at this time, he really can't find the north, it's not impossible, isn't it-
Ma Chaozhi said that it was time for him to be serious at this time, so as soon as the conversation changed, he said to Ma Yan at the head of the city: "General Ma, I thought back then, if General Ma can join the Liangzhou army, then it will really be a great blessing for our army." It's a pity that there is no chance, but now that I meet General Ma again, I think, could it be that God has allowed our army to get General Ma's help? I wonder what General Lu Daoma thinks of this? ”
When Ma Yan heard this, he said in his heart that Ma Mengqi did speak twice, but himself, can he really surrender to the enemy? Now that there is no battle, there are more than 10,000 guards in his own Jingcheng City. Even if the combat strength is indeed inferior to the Liangzhou army, and the number is not as good as others, but there is always no problem in defending it for two or three days. Then run away on your own......
When he thinks of running, Mayan is a spirit. The heart said that he was defeated and fled, and after his lord knew the way, could he still let himself go? If you let your lord know the truth about this, then you will really be unable to escape death. Don't say it's yourself, it's a general who your lord trusts again, when you are fighting, you abandon the city and run away, then there will definitely be no good end after that.
As soon as he thought of this, Ma Yan was discouraged, could it be that he could only be a way to surrender? At this time, Ma Yan never thought that he could hold the city and resist the attack of Ma Chaoliangzhou's army. He really didn't have much confidence in this, so if he thought about it, it was all difficult for him. (To be continued......)
