Black clouds rolled in the west, and suddenly a gust of wind blew the flags on the city walls. The wind was mixed with the smell www.biquge.info of blood, and the undried blood stains on the city walls seemed to tell the survivors how cruel the battle was.

"It's only a matter of time before the Xiliang Army withdraws, and the siege of Chang'an has been lifted." Zhong Xuan pulled the cloak on his body and rubbed his astringent eyes. At such an old age, he tossed with Cao Shuang and them all night, and it was really difficult for him.

Cao Shuang lay on the lookout and looked at the city, only Ma Chao's camp rose wisps of green smoke, "The grain and grass are gone, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days." ”

"Childe, it's time for you to go back and change your dressing." The medical officer followed behind Cao Shuang and whispered.

After being rescued by Xiahou Yuan last night, Cao Shuang only suffered some minor injuries on his arm, and his arm was wrapped with a thick white cloth, but the tiger guard who protected him did not survive. Thinking of this, Cao Shuang was a little sad. After saying goodbye to Zhong Xuan and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Shuang returned to his residence.

When Cao Shuang was changing the dressing, the bad man Yu Bin asked to see him.

"Childe, I conducted a careful investigation of the scene of the assassination last night and found that there were two groups of people who had stayed at the scene." Yu Bin wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the top of his head was still steaming.

Cao Shuang asked people to serve tea, very puzzled, "Two groups of people? ”

"Yes, it's two groups. But when they were traced, no trace of them was found. Yu Bin took a sip of tea, a little ashamed, as the head of the big spy in Chang'an City, he couldn't find a clue, and his face was inevitably unbearable.

The teacup kept turning in Cao Shuang's hand, and his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes loose. After a long time, the teacup was put down by Cao Shuang, "Don't give up the investigation of them by the bad guys, and you must also closely monitor the city." Cao Shuang never figured out what the identities of these people were, and he was helpless.

Yu Bin said, saluted and wanted to withdraw, but when he just turned around, he was stopped by Cao Shuang's words, "Early warning army, Cao Shuang came to Chang'an this time, just to see the world with his uncle Xiahou Yuan." I have never been involved in anything in Chang'an, and I hope the general will remember it. Cao Shuang cleaned himself up, Yu Bin didn't understand Cao Shuang's intentions, in addition to awe, there was a trace of gratitude. Cao Shuang stayed out of the matter, and his kung fu of choosing a clean was somewhat similar to Jia Xu.

After Yang Qiu, Li Kan, Cheng Yi and other Xiliang departments repaired slightly, the main generals were invited by Liang Xing into the big tent that had just been built. There was only simple hot water and wild fruits on the table in the tent, which was far from the original wine and delicacies, and in the hearts of everyone, these were also extravagant when there was no food and grass.

"There are thousands of people left behind in the battalions of the Xiliang Army, but he Ma Chao left less than 100 people, but he is safe and sound. I don't know if we're incompetent, or if he's super capable. I'm afraid it's not us who have descended to Cao, but that he has already returned to Cao. The more Liang Xing spoke, the more angry he became, slamming the table hard, the wounds on his body cracked, and the blood soaked through his clothes, making him gasp in pain.

"Now there is no food and grass, and it is very difficult to even withdraw from the army." Cheng Yi's face was full of melancholy, and only he knew his suffering.

"Only Ma Chao's military camp has not been burned, why not ask him to borrow some food. Then we withdrew our troops and returned to Xiliang. Li Kan leaned forward, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Cheng Yin didn't stop him when he saw the situation, even if he did, he couldn't stop it, and besides, it was not bad for him to say that this was public or private. Cheng Yin cleared his throat and said, "Borrowing grain is the only way now, what if Ma Chao doesn't borrow it?" ”

"yes, what can I do?" Everyone below whispered, only to hear Liang Xing slap the table heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't borrow it, you will rob it!" ”

Hearing this, everyone echoed loudly, and then got up and went back to gather soldiers and horses to borrow food, and no one noticed the smile on Cheng Yin's face.

"It's not good to have a big deal out there. The soldiers of the other battalions were outside, borrowing food from us. Ma Dai hurriedly broke into Ma's oversized tent with a look on his face, and said breathlessly.

Ma Chao slowly raised his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, with a hint of redness on his face, obviously drinking too much. Listening to Ma Dai's words, the wine vessel in Ma Chao's hand slammed on the ground, "It's against them, go out with me to have a look." ”

There was still some distance from Yuanmen, and Ma Chao heard shouts begging for food from Yuanmen. I saw Yang Qiu and Li Kan rushing in front, and Liang Xing's body was wrapped with white cloth, and his face was very unkind.

"I don't know what a few people want to come over to set up such a big battle?" Across the camp gate, Ma Chao arched his hand, which was regarded as a greeting, his waist was straight, and he didn't take everyone in his eyes at all.

Cheng Yi, Li Kan and others were separated from Ma Chao's guards at this time, and the two sides were clearly distinguished.

These people used to be afraid of Ma Chao, but now they are not so afraid when they are united. Li Kan said disdainfully, "We are here to borrow grain from General Ma." ”

"Why borrow from us?" Ma Dai asked rhetorically in an unkind tone.

"Only your general Ma's camp has not been destroyed, and he will not borrow food from you." Liang Xing's tone was heavy and full of gunpowder. Today's grain, you have to borrow it, you have to borrow it, and you have to borrow it if you don't borrow it.

Cheng Yi sneered all over his face, "It's a shame to say that there are a lot of people left behind in our camp, but we still can't hold it." I don't know how General Ma trained his soldiers, less than 100 people made Cao Haijun tremble, and he would definitely ask for a few tricks in the future, and I hope that General Ma will not hesitate to give advice. ”

At this time, Ma Chao's eyes were red, and the right hand holding the hilt of the sword was white because of excessive force, and his body kept shaking, Ma Chao was like an angry beast, with hair standing on end. Seeing that he was about to explode, a wide and thick palm gently patted Ma Chao's shoulder, and before Ma Chao's anger dropped to freezing point in an instant, the person who came was Kansai Pang De, Pang Lingming.

"Once we start a war, we can only cheapen the Cao army in Chang'an City, and return to Liangzhou first." Pound didn't have any expression on his face, but he got to the point. If there is a war in Liangzhou now, Ma Chao is sure that he will destroy the rest of the people, but this will allow Cao Jun to take advantage. It's better to endure it first, and then clean them up one by one when you return to Liangzhou.

Thinking about the joints, Ma Chao let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and showed a smile on his face that was harmless to humans and animals, and even brought some flattery, "Everyone, wait a minute, immediately let people prepare food and send it to your camp." ”

Ma Chao's sudden change surprised everyone. was about to use force, but I didn't expect Ma Chao, who had always been hard, to suddenly soften. Liang Xing couldn't say anything, so they all obediently returned to the camp to wait for Ma Chao's food. Pound saw all this in his eyes, although his face was expressionless, but his eyes were full of smiles, "Old master, young master has grown up!" ”

Knowing that Ma Chao did not fight with the Xiliang Ministry, he sighed in disappointment. Xiahou Yuan also asked the assembled troops to return to the camp to rest.
