The moonlight sprinkled on the ground, a few wisps of green smoke rose, and the Xiliang soldiers sat around the fire, and a cool breeze blew, and there were a few traces of desolation. Han Sui was dressed in a big hat, looking at the scene outside the tent, full of worry.
The wind blew into the tent, and the candles of the oil lamps kept beating. Yan Xing hurriedly walked into the big tent, and as soon as the tent door opened, the oil lamp was almost blown out by the wind that came in.
Han Sui knew Yan Xing's temperament, and seeing that Yan Xing was in such a hurry, he knew that there must be a big event to release him. But he never imagined that this incident would lead to the failure of his entire plan to go south.
"Yanming, why are you so alarmed?" Han then tightened the big squeal on his body and sat back on the bed.
"My lord, something is wrong. Xianyang was attacked, and grain and grass were burned. When Yan Xing spoke, he trembled a little, and his voice became lower and lower.
"What? Is the message accurate? Han then got up and came to Yan Xing's side, ignoring Da Yu, who had slipped to the ground.
Yan Xing nodded with difficulty, his expression at the moment was extremely heavy. Han Sui only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and his head became heavier and heavier. Yan Xingyan quickly grabbed Han Sui and helped him to the bed.
After a long time, Han Sui came to his senses, his hands kept trembling, "Block this news, don't leak a little rumor." ”
"I'm afraid I can't hide this." Yan Xing said very hesitantly, Xianyang was attacked, and the grain and grass were burned could not be concealed at all. At the beginning, in order to show fairness, the soldiers stationed in Xianyang were drawn from various departments, and when they returned, then this matter would spread throughout the army, and at that time, the morale of the entire Xiliang coalition army would definitely be affected.
Han Sui's eyes suddenly became ruthless, and his right hand clenched his fist and pounded the bed hard, "Xianyang was attacked, and 20,000 soldiers were not survived, which is really heart-wrenching." ”
Yan Xing looked at Han Sui in front of him in surprise, his eyelids jumping. In order to preserve the morale of the coalition army, Han Sui actually wanted to kill all the soldiers who fled back from Xianyang. Although Yan Xing was ruthless, he was still taken aback. If others knew that they had killed their allies, the consequences would be devastating.
"Lord, we can't do this." Yan Xing's tone was slightly urgent, if it was exposed, the others would join forces to kill them first.
"What then? Is it a withdrawal? Han Sui was already a little crazy at this time, and his eyes were a little red.
Yan Xing nodded helplessly, although he was reluctant, but there was no other way at this time, "Unless we can break through Chang'an as soon as possible, we can only withdraw our troops." ”
"Let's wait and see." Han Sui was unwilling to withdraw his troops like this, the 350,000 army was approaching Chang'an with great momentum, in their opinion, Chang'an was just a quick fat in their eyes, but now they are going to withdraw to Xiliang in a gloomy manner, and it is a trivial matter to lose face, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity in the future.
In the end, Han Sui still gave up the plan to kill the soldiers who fled from Xianyang, and Yan Xing asked the attendants to take care of Han Sui, and then withdrew from the big tent.
At this time, Liang Xing, Li Kan, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin and others came to Han Sui's camp to see Han Sui. was stopped by Yan Xing, "I don't know what happened to the generals, so anxious to see my lord?" ”
"Could it be that General Yan still doesn't know about Xianyang?" Liang Xing's voice was a little hoarse, and there was anger in his eyes mixed with a hint of fear.
"I already know about this, but at this time, my lord has already rested, so you should come tomorrow, right?" Yan Xing smiled apologetically and hugged his fists towards everyone.
Cheng Yin took a step forward and said mysteriously, "The attack on Xianyang is still a trivial matter, but it's just a matter behind this, I'm afraid that Han Gong is still in the dark?" ”
"Oh~ What's going on behind this?" Yan Xing asked.
"I wonder if General Yan can call the shots?" Cheng Yin continued to sell Guan Zi and did not say anything.
Yan Xing smiled slightly, "My lord is overly worried about the matter of Xianyang, and his body is a little unwell. If you have something to do, you can discuss it with the bank first, and I will tell my lord tomorrow. ”
"That's fine, but it's not the place to talk." Cheng Yin glanced around and glanced at Yan Xing again.
"The weather is slightly cool, so a few people still come to my tent to drink some hot wine to warm up." How could Yan Xing not understand what Cheng Yin meant, and led everyone towards his tent.
Yan Xinghe withdrew the attendants in the tent and picked up the wine, "If there is anything, please ask a few more people, but it doesn't hurt." ”
"General Yan, didn't you notice that the attack on Xianyang had something to do with Ma Chao?" Cheng Yin took a sip of wine and took the lead in speaking.
Yan Xing didn't speak, just quietly listened to Cheng Yin and Liang Xing. It turned out that Cheng Yin and the others thought that Ma Chao ignored the right flank of the coalition army and rushed to the official road from Chang'an to Xianyang to intercept and kill the Yin family's caravan, so that the Cao army sneaked into the rear of the coalition army and lost most of the grain and grass. Later, he made an appointment with Cao Cao, and the two sped for nearly an hour, and then Xianyang was attacked, all of this could not be just a coincidence. Cheng Yin's words are impressive, and with the addition of Liang Xing and Li Kan, Ma Chao has already taken refuge in Cao Cao, which makes people not believe it.
"But Ma Chao's father was caught by Cao Cao, he shouldn't help Cao Cao, it won't do him any good." Yan Xing remembered that Ma Teng was still in Cao Cao's hands, and his life and death were unknown.
"This is one of the reasons why Ma Chao defected to Cao Cao." Cheng Yin said with certainty.
Yan Xing had dealt with Ma Chao before, and he knew that Ma Chao was very ruthless and would not be held hostage. But he was still surprised and said, "Won't it?" ”
"How could it not, Ma Teng may have really descended to Cao Cao from the beginning, in order to seek more benefits for the Ma family in Liangzhou." Seeing that Yan Xing didn't believe it, Cheng Yin continued, "Ma Chao's fight against Chang'an is probably to consume our strength, so as to pave the way for Cao Cao's attack on Xiliang. ”
"Is there any evidence?" Yan Xing shook his head, he still didn't believe Cheng Yin, this was all their speculation, and it was impossible to directly prove that Ma Chao was a spy within the Xiliang Alliance.
Liang Xing was very anxious and interjected, "Isn't this an obvious thing, how did Ma Chao know that Xu Huang wanted to sneak attack Xianyang, this is not a bitter plan set up by Cao Cao and Ma Chao." ”
"Yes, we still killed Ma Chao first, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Li Kan made a movement to wipe his neck and said very ruthlessly.
Yan Xing's fingers moved slightly, and he poured another sip of wine, "This matter is very important, I think it is better to wait until tomorrow after I report to my lord, and then make a decision." ”
Cheng Yin and the others couldn't resist Yan Xing, so they could only accept Yan Xing's suggestion. For the time being, he kept restraint and just closely monitored Ma Chao.
Sending Cheng Yin away and the others, Yan Xing sat in the big tent and drank a little wine, looking at the brazier in front of him, thinking about something.
