Chapter 224: Surrender
"Report! Xiping Pass Emergency! ”
An urgent herald appeared in the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion, and the soldiers hurried from the door to the hall with letters in hand.
Ran to the hall, knelt on one knee, presented the letter with both hands, and the soldier gasped: "Governor Yudu, Xipingguan is urgent, Ma Chao personally led 30,000 people to the north, and only 1,000 people and horses were left in Xipingguan!" ”
Wu Yi, the governor of Guanzhong, narrowed his eyes slightly, snatched the letter from the soldier's hand, and said confusedly: "What the hell is Ma Chao doing, he can't guard his Xiping Pass well, what are you going to do in the north?" Could it be that he wants to recapture Xiliang? ”
Ma Chao wanted to return to Xiliang's heart, and many of the senior generals of Shu knew about it, so it was no wonder that Wu Yi would guess so much.
"Brother, this may not be the case, Ma Chao may also rebel against Han and surrender to Wei!" Wu Ban thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but remind.
Hearing this, Wu Yi turned around sharply, betraying the Han is a big deal, once so, then Hanzhong can be dangerous, you know, although Ma Chao is only guarding a small pass in Xiping, but since he recruited 20,000 Qiang soldiers, its soldiers and horses have reached the current number of 30,000, and Hanzhong soldiers and horses are only more than 10,000, most of them are new soldiers, although the Yangping Pass defenders are experienced and good at fighting, but there are less than 5,000 people, Ma Chao is opposed, Hanzhong is in danger.
But after thinking about it, Wu Yi waved his hand again: "Impossible!" Ma Chao and Cao Cao have a grudge against killing their father and brother, how can they surrender to Wei? ”
"Brother, that's also Cao Cao, now that Wei is Cao Pi is in power, maybe Ma Chao's hatred for Cao Wei has weakened a lot, and even if he doesn't descend to Wei, he can't help but want to support the army and stand on his own! Wei Ting is now difficult to use troops to Xiliang, Ma Chao has 30,000 horses, it may not be impossible to take Liangzhou, Ma Chao has been looking forward to Liangzhou for a long time! ”
"If that's the case, you and I can't interfere! Ordered the soldiers, strictly guard the city, fortunately, I have a royal pigeon in Shu, quickly send a letter to the prime minister, Ma Chao led the troops to the north, please make a decision! "For things that can't be paid attention to, Wu Yi can only let Zhuge Liang decide.
At this time, Yunnan City, the Shu army has surrounded Yunnan for seven days, not only the news that the four cities of Yizhou were captured by Ma Dai spread to the city, Li Hui and Ma Dai met in Dianchi, and the troops were divided into two ways to clean up the remnants of Meng Huo, Li Hui successively won Jianlian, Shengxiu, and Ma Dai also captured Yu Yuan again.
In the city, in the hall of the government, Meng was full of sadness, seven days, he had learned the news of his hometown, and he was remorseful but helpless, after all, he concentrated the army in Yunnan, trying to block the Shu army, but the Shu army actually took a detour to steal his hometown, the total strength of the Yizhou barbarians was only three or four thousand, and they were divided into several cities, and they had to be broken by the Shu army one by one, and the loss of the city was not the most important thing, what mattered was what he left the 30,000 horses to eat!
In the past few days, people have come every day to report the consumption of grain and grass, and now the food and grass in the city is less than ten days' needs, and he has nothing to do, and his mood is becoming more and more irritable.
"Aren't you usually very good at talking, but now why are you all dumb?" Seeing the people who didn't say a word, Meng Shu had no reason to scold.
It's just that Meng was scolded and scolded, but everyone in the audience didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied, and still pretended to be dumb and deaf.
It was Meng You, his eyes rolled, he didn't know what idea he came up with, the sadness on his face was gradually replaced by joy, he stepped out sideways, and said, "Big brother, there is a way for my brother!" ”
Meng You had already pitted Meng Shu once, and the time interval was not long, so Meng You didn't give him a good look, and said coldly: "Say it!" Let's hear it! ”
Regarding Meng Huo's attitude, Meng You has also thought of it, after all, he still knows Meng Huo well: "Big brother, at present, Zhuge Liang has won Yizhou, and the momentum is like a rainbow, and our army will never be defeated by the Shu army in a normal confrontation, so we can only use Qi!" ”
After being fooled a few times, Meng Shu seemed to have made some progress, and he didn't show too much enthusiasm, but sneered: "What kind of strange method do you say?"
"Big brother, the current situation of our army, presumably the Shu army also knows, because of this, they can calm down and not attack, but just besiege but not attack, the purpose is to trap us! So we are desperate at this time and choose to surrender, which is reasonable, and the Shu army is very likely to believe it! ”
Meng Shu pondered: "You mean deception?? ”
"That's right! The younger brother sent a letter to Zhuge Liang, the book said that our army was besieged for several days, the army was in turmoil, a certain in order to survive had to betray his brother, led the army to Shu, but unexpectedly was noticed by the brother, a certain invincible, helpless to escape from Yunnan City, into the Shu camp, hibernated, just waiting for the opportunity to come, my brother and I should join forces inside, lead the army to cover up, and jointly break the enemy! ”
Because of the previous mistakes, it is difficult for Meng Yu to have a good face for Meng You, but after thinking about Meng You's strategy, he faintly felt a little reliable in his heart, and looked directly at Meng You: "Are you sure this plan can be successful?" ”
"Brother, so far, there is no other way, face to head, we are by no means the opponent of the Shu army, this is the only way to try in a short time!"
With his head lowered slightly, Meng Shu gasped in his snort, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, this was really his last chance, if he didn't succeed, he really didn't know what to do.
But because of this, it was difficult for him to make a conclusion, but after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't think of a better way, so Meng Shu could only acquiesce.
"Meng You, how about giving you 5,000 soldiers?"
Five thousand soldiers is not much, but it is enough, Meng You arched his hand, and calmly took it.
......
Shu Army, the big tent of the Chinese army.
After reading the letter in his hand, Liu Chan immediately handed it to Zhuge Liang, and after Zhuge Liang quickly scanned it, he asked, "What does Your Majesty think?" ”
If you don't know about the Three Kingdoms, then you may have to think about it, but for Liu Chan himself, he can be 100% convinced that this is absolutely fake, if it is true, then he can't imagine why Zhuge Liang delayed so long to pacify Meng Huo, and the seven captures of Meng Huo may be fake, but Zhuge Liang definitely put a lot of effort into it at that time.
So even waving his hand, Liu Chan said very decisively: "Fake, this is probably Meng Shu's trick, it is estimated that he wants to find an opportunity by deception, and then reverse the current situation!" ”
Although he knew that Liu Chan had some talents, Kong Ming was still a little surprised to see Liu Chan make a judgment so quickly.
"And what is Your Majesty going to do?"
Since he came to Nanzhong, seeing that Zhuge Liang asked himself about everything first, Liu Chan couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, the meaning of this school examination is inevitably too obvious.
"If Meng is defrauded, there is no reason for anything else, and the plan will be calculated!"
Picking up Meng You's letter, Liu Chan smiled and said, "Didn't they want to create a rebellion and take the opportunity to defect to us?" Then we just take the opportunity to take Yunnan City! Lure out the army of Meng Huo as much as possible, and then encircle and suppress to capture Yunnan City! As long as he goes out of the city, how can Meng Huo compete with our army, he couldn't before, but now that he has lost the marshal of the three caves, Meng Huo's army is even more vulnerable! ”
