Although he has never regarded the Descendant Army as his own, when it is obvious that he has been betrayed, Ma Wei still feels anger and heartache, "Don't he know that he is next?" ”

Ma Wei did everything possible to organize tens of thousands of old and weak women and children into a team, but it was to no avail, and when the time came for the battle, the crowd scattered and fled in the wilderness.

In any case, this situation was all expected by Ma Wei.

Officers and men like this kind of fighting, chasing people everywhere, whether the other party is a man or a woman, fleeing or staying, resisting or pleading, catching up is a knife, this is a ready-made military feat, the chaotic people all over the mountains and wilderness, in the eyes of the officers and men are like a string of copper coins with long legs, whoever catches it first belongs to whomever it is.

So the officers and soldiers were also in chaos.

Ma Wei ordered his soldiers to wave flags and gongs to the rear of the descending army, telling the descending king that the time was ripe to send a large army to join the battle.

Several teams entered the battlefield one after another, and the banners and orders of the descending army were not fine, so no one could command the army, and each team was as small as three or five hundred people, and as many as two or three thousand, and if there were more, the soldiers would not be able to find the main general.

Ma Wei soon found that although the team entering the battlefield was endless, the number of people was not as large as he expected, which was by no means a good sign, the biggest advantage of the army was the large number of soldiers, but now they refused to rush in, but fought short and long, how could they win?

From a distance, the scattered officers and soldiers began to regroup to meet the descending army, which was about to collapse at the first touch, and it was only by the compulsion of the follow-up team that they barely stayed on the battlefield.

It didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to approach step by step, Ma Wei changed his opinion and decided to follow his inner instincts, rather than waiting until the situation was clear.

He's going to run.

"I will personally go to see the descending king, ask him to send more soldiers, you stay and lead the troops......" Ma Wei instructed his lieutenant general, he had turned the horse's head, and suddenly he was a little reluctant, he finally got an army, although the number is not much, but two or three hundred of them were originally from the Liang country, and they were more loyal to him, without these people, he would become the king of Liang again.

"Pan Kai! Call a few people to protect me. Ma Wei decided to take one of the Liang generals he admired the most, and as for the others, in order not to arouse suspicion, he could only stay in the dangerous place.

The horses were basically given to Ning Baoguan, Ma Wei rode slowly alone, and Pan Kai led six or seven soldiers on foot and then walked back against the descending army.

The Descendant Army gathered in a large depression to hide its strength so as not to be seen by the officers and soldiers in advance.

Ma Wei glanced at the high place from a distance, and said to Pan Kai and the others: "The incarnation king is in the city, let's go there to find him." ”

The road was full of soldiers heading to the battlefield, and the Descendant Army did not have a clear banner, Ma Wei said that the Descendant King was not in the ranks, and Pan Kai and the others naturally did not doubt it.

The way back to the city was not smooth, and several times he was stopped, and a certain king stopped in front of Ma Weima with two knives in his hand, and shouted: "Where are you going?" Want to escape? ”

Ma Wei slowed down slightly, but continued to rush forward, and said eagerly: "Get out of the way!" Emergency! ”

Without waiting for the "Double Sword King" to understand, Ma Wei had already rushed over closely, and this person did not chase him, cursing in his mouth, and led his soldiers to the battlefield.

The orders of the Descending Army were not in order, and Ma Wei took less than ten people, and he was frightened along the way, and he actually returned to the big city of Mengjin.

Pan Kai and the others had already vaguely guessed King Liang's intentions, and no one objected, and they followed more closely behind them.

There was no one in the city, Ma Wei had the last glimmer of hope, climbed the tower and looked at the battlefield, except for the smoke and dust that covered the sky, he couldn't see anything, he looked at the descendant army, most of the troops had not yet participated in the battle, a team seemed to be running towards the city, as for Ning Baoguan, who was a strange soldier, there was no trace.

Hope was dashed, and Xue Liujia hated his hands and wanted to use this battle to get rid of useless rebels and a group of disobedient generals.

Ma Wei suddenly realized, no wonder most of the leaders he met along the way just now were those who had asked for the title of king before, Xue Liujia was not to send people out to expand the territory at all, but to see who was too ambitious and refused to stay by his side honestly.

"Stupid, doesn't he know that he is next?" Ma Wei hurriedly went downstairs, disappointed in the incarnation king, and when he went to the street, he said to Pan Kai and others: "The incarnation king will not lead troops to participate in the war, he wants to betray all the people who are kings, you want to go back, I will not stop you, but I want to go, go to the Jinyang army, and the people who follow me will be the founding ministers in the future." ”

"Swear to follow the king!" Pan Kai and the others said in unison, no one wants to die anymore, and as for the relatives and friends who stayed on the battlefield, they had to leave it behind.

Ma Wei led the people across the big city, the bridge and the small city, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, and when he arrived at the north shore and saw the camp not far away, he suddenly had a bold idea.

There were still a lot of people left in the camp on the north bank, mostly the families of the leaders of the army, who did not have to venture to the battlefield, and remained in a relatively safe place, protected by thousands of soldiers.

"The Descending Army is defeated! Officers and soldiers are about to cross the river! Pan Kai rode King Liang's horse and rushed into the barracks, shouting loudly.

The camp immediately fell into chaos, crying and shouting, Pan Kai was instructed, regardless of his family, and only said to the soldiers: "King Liang has fought a bloody road, crossed the river, and wants to go to Yingcheng to borrow troops from the Shen family, I wish you will follow me!" ”

Pan Kai went around and rode out of the camp on horseback, not giving anyone a chance to ask.

The leader of the battalion could not hold back the bullets at all, and a large number of young and strong soldiers chased them out of the camp, and many family members also ran out, crying and screaming incessantly.

Pan Kai returned the horse to the king of Liang, and Ma Wei praised: "The characters of the Liang Dynasty, the general is the first, and the country will be restored in the future, and it will be ruled with the general." ”

The more people he brings, the slower the speed will naturally be, Ma Wei is willing to pay this price, he can't just take a few people to join the Shen family.

Half a day later, Ma Wei counted the number of soldiers, there were about four or five hundred soldiers who followed, and the useless family members had been left behind, which made him very satisfied, reorganized the team, set up a general colonel, and promised to make Pan Kai the general of the former army of Liang State in public - the official cannot be achieved overnight, and there is always room for the future sealing.

The team walked in a hurry, without food and grass, after nightfall, Ma Wei drew his knife, personally slaughtered the mount, made a fire and cooked it and distributed it to the people, there were too many people and too little meat, it could only be used to win people's hearts.

Worried that the officers and soldiers or the descendant army would chase from behind, Ma Wei led the army to rush all night, and when he arrived at Yingcheng, the whole army was hungry, only about 300 people remained, and the other soldiers ran away halfway.

Ma Wei was relieved that there were no pursuers in the rear.

To his great disappointment, the Shen family was not in Yingcheng, and the Jinyang soldiers were also taken away, it is said that they went to Mengjin to participate in the war, but Ma Wei did not meet him on the road.

For Ma Wei, survival is more important than anything else at this moment, and when he heard that Shen Zhi's father and son were not in the city, Ma Wei immediately claimed that he had rushed from Mengjin to meet the generals who defended the city and convey Shen Mushou's secret order.

The first time the Jinyang army went south to participate in the war, the vigilance was not high enough, Ma Wei did not say the name of the general defending the city, and they did not suspect it.

Zhou Yuanbin, the son-in-law of the Shen family, heard that there was a secret order from his father-in-law, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and came out to greet him in person.

The defenders of Yingcheng were scarce, but more than 100 people, Ma Wei led the troops to rush in, first asking for wine and meat, and then dividing the troops to take over the city gate, and then said to Zhou Yuanbin: "Mengjin is defeated, and the descending army and the Jinyang army are afraid that they have been destroyed." ”

Zhou Yuanbin was shocked, vaguely feeling that he had been deceived, Ma Wei did not give anyone a chance to question, claiming that he was ordered by the king of the world and Shen Mushou to take over Yingcheng and act cheaply.

In only one night and half a day, Ma Wei recruited all the men in the city who could hold weapons, gathered more than 1,000 soldiers, and finally felt a little relieved and sent people out of the city to find out the news.

At the beginning, the news received was consistent with Ma Wei's statement, and the officers and soldiers of the Battle of Mengjin won a great victory, but instead of taking advantage of the victory to attack the two cities, they stopped on the south bank and invited the descending army to fight.

The king of the incarnation retreated to the two cities, the whereabouts of the king of Wuyue were unknown, and the Jinyang army did not appear in Mengjin at all, apparently crossing the river from elsewhere, and attacking the back road of the officers and soldiers.

Ma Wei was glad that he escaped ahead of time, the Jinyang army took the bait from the descending army, and the descending army used the Liang soldiers and the people as bait, no matter who wins or loses in the end, the bait will be swallowed in one bite, and he will definitely die.

Zhou Yuanbin was sure that he was really fooled, and he regretted it, but he couldn't help himself, and became a pawn in the hands of King Liang, and he was powerless to fight back.

On the third day of occupying Yingcheng, the king of the world sent someone to reprimand the king of Liang for his unkindness, Ma Wei listened with a smile, and said to the messenger of the king of the world: "Please tell the king of the ancestors, I am not treacherous, but to abide by the promise of the king, to seize the hometown of the Liang Dynasty, and after I have done it, I should go to the military camp in person to worship the king of the ancestors and ask for merit." ”

The messengers dialed one after another, and their words became more and more polite, and finally they even called Ma Wei the king's brother.

The Shen family said that the good soldiers have not appeared for a long time, and the king of the incarnation cannot help but be nervous, once he loses Meng Jin, he will have nowhere to go, and he must arrange a retreat for himself first.

Ma Wei was more and more glad that he had escaped early, and he had a plan in his heart that he could accept the incarnation king into the city in the future, but he must firmly control it, seize military power, and then go north to occupy Jinyang, have a foothold, and then confront the officers and soldiers.

This was a reliable plan, and Ma Wei hoped that Meng Jin's officers and soldiers would attack quickly and that the descending army would soon disperse.

After waiting for several days on the south bank, they finally saw their own flag erected on the north bank, which meant that the other line of officers and soldiers had crossed the river to surround the descending army.

The officers and men launched an offensive and paid a lot of price, but it only took half a day to capture the big city, and it was more difficult to fight for the bridge, and they fell into a state of seesaw.

The fighting spirit shown by the descending army surprised the officers and soldiers, and also surprised Ma Wei, who was far away in Yingcheng, he kept sending spies, but did not see the figures of officers and soldiers on the north bank, only saw the descending army stubbornly defending the small city and the bridge, and did not retreat.

On the morning of that day, the most surprising news finally came, after several days of strong attack, the officers and soldiers were frightened for no reason, and by coincidence, the Jinyang army, which had rounded the south bank, appeared in time, took advantage of the chaos to attack, and defeated the officers and men.

Ma Wei, who occupied Yingcheng and waited to receive the rebels, was suddenly in a difficult situation, and he offended the two rebel armies that had won.

At this time, Shen Cong and Guo Shifeng rushed from Yecheng to the city in the starry night, after hearing the news, they were even more surprised than Ma Wei, they were supposed to come back with Jizhou soldiers, but now they returned in vain, which will make Shen Bingzhou angry.

Guo Shifeng saw the opportunity the fastest, took out the letter written by Ma Wei to him, and said excitedly: "A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the revival of Liang, maybe at this time, if King Liang does not dislike it, I am willing to come up with a strange plan to help King Liang!" ”
