On the eastern horizon, a ray of light pulled out, and light quickly poured into the heavenly dome and began to occupy the territory of the night.

"Drive!"

There were a few neighings, and hundreds of people in strange clothes rode horses, looking anxious and flustered, as if they were in a hurry.

When he ran past, he saw a large number of men and horses in the rear, and they were wearing armor, and there were more than a thousand people, and they were also galloping behind.

The people of the two sides ran all night like this, one after the other, and even the horses under their crotches were a little overwhelmed and panting.

"Brother, if you chase it again, you will be out of Wudu County!" In the team of thousands of people, Ma Dai, who was also a little tired, reminded.

"Phew!" As soon as he pulled the reins in his hand, the white figure in front gradually stopped, glanced at the people behind him, everyone was exhausted, and couldn't help sighing, this Kebi can not catch up, its 40,000 soldiers and horses are about to converge with it, and then chase for fear of danger.

Suddenly thinking of something, I saw Ma Chao reach into his arms, and after starting to grope for a while, he took out a small but delicate bag.

"Brother, what is this?" Looking at the things in Ma Chao's hand, Ma Dai asked curiously.

Also a little curious, Ma Chao said lightly: "I don't know, this is given by the prime minister when he saved me, tell me if Xiping wins a big victory, I will open it and read it, if there is no opportunity, I can burn it." ”

"This time, the elder brother was defeated by Ke Bineng, so that he fled in a hurry, and killed more than 10,000 enemies, although there is still a Xianbei army on the back road, it is also a big victory! It's better to take it apart and see what the prime minister said. Ma Dai suggested.

"It's good!"

With both hands torn, Ma Chao took out a brocade handkerchief, only to see the handwriting on it, and then couldn't help but look at it carefully.

As time went on, I saw that Ma Chao's face became more and more heavy, and after the heaviness was a thick jealousy.

immediately sighed: "What a terrible Prime Minister Zhuge is! ”

Hearing this, Ma Dai was still confused, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what did the prime minister say on Jinpa?" ”

Taking a deep breath and calming down the shock in his heart, Ma Chao slowly spoke: "I am waiting for this big victory, the prime minister has already expected that the reason why I have to open the bag when I have a big victory is really a plan in the bag, and it can only be implemented after a big victory!" ”

In the words, Ma Chao's eyes were sharp, looking directly at the southern land, as if he saw Zhuge Kongming, who was thousands of miles away and strategizing in the middle of the curtain, and after looking at it for a while, he slowly retracted his gaze and sighed again, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart.

Although Ma Chao praised Zhuge Kongming, he did not say the details of the plan in the bag, which made Ma Dai annoyed, and his curiosity was great, so he urged again: "Brother, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell Brother Yu!" ”

"Haha, my brother don't worry, the prime minister has already informed our army of the next plan in the letter." Ma Chao smiled: "The whole army is moving forward!" Fifteen miles away, divide into two teams to go up the mountain! ”

"Huh? Still chasing? Brother, although our army has won a great victory, it still does not have much advantage, and if we pursue it rashly, we may be in danger! Ma Dai's face was anxious, obviously disagreeing with Ma Chao's decision.

"My brother rest assured, this is the prime minister's strategy, the prime minister has calculated everything, and after learning of a small victory, he will continue to pursue, and the pursuit distance is probably not less than a hundred miles, and a certain meritorious plan is specially awarded."

Without waiting for Ma Dai to speak, Ma Chao continued: "You and I have lived in Hanzhong for several years, when we know that the terrain of Hanzhong is low in the middle and high all around, and there are many high mountains around, and the path to Xiping needs to pass through a mountain stream, this mountain stream is rarely known, for many ways to attack Shu, so that our side ignores the head and tail, Kebi Neng only marched from this stream to attack Xiping, the prime minister's order is to make our army occupy the mountain area on both sides of the mountain stream, cut down trees on the spot, lay stones, and prevent the retreat of the 30,000 Qiang soldiers trapped in Hanzhong!" ”

"That's 30,000 people! Just a thousand of us? It's a little too unrealistic. Although there is some truth in this plan, Ma Dai can't help but be a little skeptical after comparing the numbers of the two sides.

"Besides, if Kebi can lead the troops back to the rescue, won't we be attacked on both sides? After all, Nakebi still has 50,000 people in his hands! ”

"Kebi can not know whether he is alive or dead, dare to lead an army of 100,000 to travel a long distance to attack my Hanzhong, in order not to delay time, to respond to the offensive of other four directions, he has not many materials and equipment, and now he has been attacked by our side, and he has no time to withdraw from the baggage, and there is not much in his hands, especially food." After sneering, Ma Chao couldn't help palpitating a little at the prime minister who was counted as a good thing.

"Unless Kebi can be sure of victory, he will not come back, after all, once he chooses to come back, he can't win quickly, and he will be caught in a protracted war with our army, and his food will inevitably be insufficient, and even the way back will be a problem."

"This ......" Listening to Ma Chao's exposition of Kong Ming's analysis, Ma Dai gradually felt that there was some truth, indeed, the lack of grain and grass, and the large number of people would not only be an advantage, but would become a disadvantage.

"Brother, Kebi can unify his tribe, and he will eventually be a generation of male masters, how can he give up easily, after all, he still has more than 30,000 people on the right wing who have not withdrawn! And he is known for being kind to his subordinates, will he give up on them? Ma Dai reconfirmed.

In Ma Chao's view, this war is undoubtedly won, so he is in a good mood, and he will always answer Ma Dai's questions.

"It is precisely because Kebi Neng is a generation of male lords that he knows how to make trade-offs, and uses 50,000 people to win the chance of 30,000 people to live, not to mention that this opportunity is not big, this is really unwise, Kebi Neng categorically will not do so, and this time he only brings 100,000 Qiang soldiers, not the soldiers of his Xianbei royal court, and it doesn't hurt to abandon them."

A hundred miles away in the rear of Xipingguan, Gao Xiang sat upright, his face was serious, his eyes were blank and he didn't know where to look, and he didn't know what to think in his mind, only to see a bamboo slip covered with handwriting lying quietly on the front case, which was sent from the CD early this morning, and the cover said that General Gao Xiang personally opened it, and the payment was made by the Prime Minister.

Gao Xiang did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for this prime minister's order, although he felt that it was a little too risky, he still had to unswervingly carry it out.

"Come on, send a thousand people out of the pass to the northwest, pay close attention to the Qiang soldiers who are blocked in Hanzhong, you can harass, but remember not to fight!" Taking out a military order, Gao Xiang ordered.

"No!"

"Send 1,000 people to organize a generation of people around Xiping to withdraw into Xiping one after another, leaving nothing to eat, and implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, so that the enemy army has no food to use! As for the wheat that has not yet been harvested, burn it on the spot, and do not leave it behind for the enemy! "Take another military order, Gao Xiang ordered.

"No!"

"There are 1,000 people left to guard Xiping Pass to prevent the enemy from attacking!" After giving the order, facing the remaining generals in the hall, Gao Xiang ordered solemnly.

"No!"

In this careful plan, time passed day by day, everything was as expected by the Shu army, after a great defeat, Kebi Neng who lost his troops and lost his generals did not fall ill on the way to escape, although he was heartbroken for the 30,000 horses who were still trapped in Wudu County in Hanzhong, but he was helpless, so he had to accumulate grievances, and his body was not getting worse day by day.

It's not that they don't save it, but they can't save it, the Chinese army fled in disarray, basically didn't bring out much rations, the left-wing army only brought out a small part, and the three days of holding on have been exhausted.

There is a grain and so, how long can the right-wing army without food last, they have already killed horses and hunger for two days, many of them have organized several times, in a vain attempt to rush across the mountain stream, but they have been blocked back, runes are all over the sky, flying stones, rolling wood whistling down, like a solid barrier, completely blocking their way back, during which there is a Shu army harassment, unorganized back attack Xiping and unsuccessful, back and forth, loss of more than 10,000 people, there are only more than 20,000 people left, and the combat power is not as good as before.

On this day, Ma Chao, dressed in white and covered in a light white mist, stood at the intersection of the mountain stream alone, his eyes domineering, looking directly at the loose army of 20,000 in front of him!

At this time, the Qiang soldiers had no intention of fighting, especially for this white-clothed god general who had long been afraid of his heart, he didn't even dare to make a move, after some entanglement, "Bang! "The weapon was thrown on the ground, and the sound was noisy.

Fall! They surrendered!
