The words "clear grievances and ......" rolled in Ma's mind repeatedly. []

"Something is wrong!" Next to him, Deng Ai sensitively noticed the change in Ma's mood.

At this time, countless intermittent pictures flashed from Ma's mind, at the age of twelve on the battlefield, at the age of fourteen he led the troops to break the Qiang people, at the age of eighteen he was shocked by the Qiang people, and was known as the general of heaven, and then followed Ma Teng to fight in the north and south, helping Zhong Xuan to crusade against Pingyang's high cadres and Guo Yuan, several times during the Jian'an years, and then the soldiers entered Chang'an, the army went to Tongguan, and killed Cao Cao to cut his beard and abandon his robe, that was the most glorious moment of the horse, and then he was repeatedly defeated, his wife and son were mourned, Zhang Lu was lowered, and Liu Bei was returned......

"Hahahaha......" The horse suddenly laughed, but in the laughter, there was a desolate taste.

"I miss my horse, Rong Ma half my life, today I will end up like this!" The horse seemed to be mad, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.

"General Ma, what are you ......?" Deng Ai asked in surprise.

"Huh......" Ma took a deep breath and said, "General Deng Ai, let's stop the matter of setting up your own door!" ”

"General Ma, you have to think about it clearly, you can't miss the opportunity and never come again, if General Ma misses this opportunity, I'm afraid he will be harmed by Zhuge Liang!"

"I've made up my mind, you don't have to say more!" Ma said resolutely.

"General, don't joke with your life!"

"Life? Hum! When has my horse ever been afraid of death! ”

Deng Ai frowned, just at that moment, Ma. Obviously, he was tempted, but now, he regretted it.

"Dare to ask the general, why don't you want to set up your own door?" Deng Ai asked calmly.

"What's the use of being on your own? I am a mamma. There are five sons, two sons have died at the hands of Yang Fu in Jicheng, and two young sons are now in Hanzhong, only Ma Qiu is by my side. Now that even Qiu'er is ready to go to Chang'an to help His Majesty, what is the use of me saying that I am self-reliant! Even if I conquer Liangzhou, who will be able to inherit it?

Deng Ai, if it had been ten years ago, your words were indeed tempting, and I might have been. will stand on his own, but now that my horse is forty-six this year, I have seen through many things! Even if I had a few more sons, by the time they grew up, I would be in their prime, and I would not be able to say whether I would survive until then......

Qiu'er is right, although His Majesty is young today, he is superior to the beginning of the year. Emperor. Qiu'er wants to be His Majesty's Wang Ben Mengtian, so why don't I be Wang Jian and Mengwu once! ”

"Father!" Ma Qiu didn't expect Ma to say such a thing.

"Qiu'er, support you for your father! Even if Zhuge Liang wants to monopolize power, but. Your Majesty may not allow Zhuge Liang to do this! Since ancient times, there has been no good end for the ministers, if Zhuge Liang really does something rebellious, His Majesty will not let him go. ”

Next to it, Deng Ai is stupid. Standing in place, Deng Ai never expected that a Ma Qiu would destroy his entire plan halfway.

Seeing Ma's resolute eyes, Deng Ai knew that it was impossible to say that it was impossible to move the horse, so Deng Ai decided to implement the second set of plans.

I saw Deng Ai smile slightly, and said, "General Ma, since you have thought it through, then you will no longer force it." In fact, the purpose of coming here this time is to say that the general will set up his own door, and since the general has already made a decision, he will resign and return to Xudu! ”

Ma looked at Deng Ai with appreciation, Deng Ai dared to come to this Guzang City by himself, which was quite courageous, and just now Deng Ai was blunt about the purpose of his coming, which made Ma feel that this young man was quite simple.

"Well, General Deng, we will inevitably meet on the battlefield one day! There will be a period later! After Ma finished speaking, he said to Ma Dai: "Ma Dai, send Deng Ai out of the city!" ”

……

On the way out, Deng Ai kept chatting with Ma Dai, and at the same time slowly observed the surrounding situation. Especially near the city gate, Deng Ai said a long goodbye, delayed a lot of time, and at the same time observed the situation of the defenders of the city gate clearly, and then left Guzang City.

Qiang camp.

Since Deng Ai entered the city, Cherrigi has ordered people to monitor Guzang City and investigate Deng Ai's life and death.

After all, Deng Ai is the envoy of Wei, and his identity is extraordinary, if Deng Ai succeeds, it is fine, if Deng Ai fails and dies in Guzang, Cheriji also has to find Deng Ai's body.

"King, come out! It's out! ”

"What's coming out?" Cherrigi asked.

"General Deng Ai is out! Came out of Guzang City. ”

"Whew......" Cherrigi let out a slight breath: "It's good to come back alive, please come over to General Deng Ai." ”

It didn't take long for Deng Ai to be brought up.

"General Deng Ai, how are things going? Then Marco is willing to betray Shu Han and set up his own door? Cherrigi asked hurriedly.

Deng Ai shook his head and said, "King, don't talk about this yet, go and prepare pen and ink for me." ”

"Oh, come on, go get the pen and ink." Cherrigi shouted, and then asked, "General Deng, what do you want to do with pen and ink?" ”

"My lord, I'll show you a good thing later." As he spoke, the attendant had already handed over pen and ink.

Deng Ai took the pen and began to draw seriously on the paper, Cherrigi had to stand quietly and watch, and after more than half an hour, Deng Ai slowly stopped writing.

Deng Ai put down the brush in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "King, look at this. ”

Cherrigi looked carefully at the drawing in his hand that had not yet dried the ink, and said, "This ...... This seems to be a city defense map! ”

"Yes, this is the blueprint of the city defense."

"Could it be that this is the city defense distribution map of Guzang City?" Cherrigi's voice was already a little shaky.

"Hahaha, the king has good eyesight, this is exactly the distribution of Guzang City's city defense." Deng Ai said with a smile.

"Oh my God, General Deng Ai, how did you get this thing?"

"King, this diagram may not be completely accurate, but most of the situation should be like this, I think that the diagram I drew is at least eight points reliable."

"Okay, with the distribution of this city defense, we can attack the city in a targeted manner, I will go and gather men and horses, and attack the city in a few days." Cherrigi said with a happy face.

"Wait, King!" Deng Ai stopped Cherrigi and said, "King, the siege of the city should be done sooner rather than later, I thought it would be a siege tonight." ”

"Siege at night?" Cherrigi hesitated.

Anyone who has read the art of war knows that a night siege is extremely disadvantageous for the besieging side. The besieging side needs to climb the city wall, and the visibility is not good at night, so it is much more difficult to climb the city wall. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the besieging side will not choose to attack the city at night.

"King, I also know that night is not conducive to attacking the city, but now that we have just obtained the defense status of Guzang City, we should take this opportunity to capture Guzang as soon as possible. Besides, when I went out of the city, I told Ma that I was going back to Xudu, and Ma would definitely let his guard down at this time, so tonight was the best time to attack the city. ”

Cherrigi nodded slightly, but still not persuaded by Deng Ai, Cherrigi continued: "I'm still a little worried, that horse is heroic, over the past year or so, I have attacked the city many times, but I have not taken Guzang, and I am worried that I may not be able to consolidate Guzang tonight." ”

"The king doesn't have to worry, I'm going to Guzang, although I didn't say that I moved the horse, but the discord plan was also a success, and now the horse must hate Zhuge Liang extremely in his heart. If my expectations are correct, the horse knows that the reinforcements will not come, and it will not be long before the siege will break through, if the king can trust him, as long as he follows the plan below, he will definitely be able to capture Guzang, and maybe he will be able to capture the horse. ”

Cherrigie thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll listen to General Deng." ”

……

During the day, Deng Ai's words hit Ma very hard, and Ma also knew that the reinforcements he was looking forward to were no longer possible.

Now there is only one way in front of the horse, that is, to give up Guzang and break through to Yongzhou.

According to what Deng Ai said, Ma's official position and reputation are there, so he only has to borrow the hands of the Qiang people to kill the horse, once the horse returns to Yongzhou, then at least Zhuge Liang will not be able to get rid of the horse on his face. In Ma's opinion, as long as he can see Adou, he can temporarily thwart Zhuge Liang's plan.

The horse didn't know that although Zhuge Liang was afraid of the horse, he didn't mean to get rid of the horse. According to Zhuge Liang's plan, as long as Adou sits firmly on the country, he will immediately send someone to help Gu Zang's horse, but Adou has just ascended the throne, and Cao Zhen has killed him, so Zhuge Liang has not had a chance to send reinforcements.

From this point of view, although Deng Ai did not say that he would move the horse to rebel, it was a success, at least provoking the discord between Ma and Zhuge Liang.

In fact, Ma is not afraid of Zhuge Liang at all. Ma has lived in Liangzhou since he was a child, and Liangzhou is a typical place where the weak eat the strong. Therefore, in the mind of the horse, as long as there are soldiers in hand, others dare not do anything to themselves. Although there are not many soldiers under Ma now, there are 3,000 elite Ma family troops, and the combat power of these 3,000 Ma family troops is at least about the same as that of the Baier elite soldiers, as long as these 3,000 Ma family troops can be preserved, Zhuge Liang does not dare to do anything with himself.

So at this time, Ma Man was thinking about how to successfully break through from Guzang City, and at the same time preserve his strength as the capital to fight against Zhuge Liang in the future.

The Ma family army under the command of Ma is mainly cavalry, but the Qiang people are also cavalry, so Ma can expect that if he is intercepted by the Qiang people when he breaks through, he will inevitably fall into a vicious battle. In the pursuit of cavalry, the pursuing side has an advantage, and there are many Qiang people, and the side that suffers must be the horse.

"If there is something to distract the Qiang, it would be nice......" Ma muttered
