When Shang Tai Ling got the news that Ma Chao was back, he hurriedly sent someone to report to Jicheng, and at the same time sent someone to Guanzhong to report to the emergency, asking the imperial court to send troops to rescue.
Ma Chao led the army to quickly rush to the outside of the city, surrounded on all sides, and shouted loudly for the city officials to answer.
Shang Tai ordered that he was in the city, and when he saw the large number of Ma Chaojun, he complained again and again in his heart.
Alas, this land of Liangzhou, how can it not be peaceful for a moment, two years ago when Liu Bei entered the army in Chencang, many people from all over Liangzhou took the opportunity to rebel in response, fortunately Liu Bei withdrew, after Zhang He, Zhang Ji and others led the army to go around, it was just calmed down not long ago, and now this Ma Chao is coming again, I don't know how many people will take the opportunity to make trouble.
Ma Chao shouted under the city: "The defenders in the city listen, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and became self-reliant, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, and now the Han hussar general, Liangzhou Mu Ma Chao, is ordered by the Han Emperor to come to recover Liangzhou!" Put righteousness first and present your city to obedience! ”
Not to be outdone, Shang Tai Ling scolded loudly in the city: "You guy who doesn't know whether you live or die, relying on your brute strength, has repeatedly harassed our Yongliang, causing the people to live in peace, and what righteousness is claimed here. What Emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Han has already emulated the righteousness of Yao Shun and ceded the world's Zen to Emperor Wei, if you are unified today, it is you traitors who are making trouble everywhere! I advise you to recognize the situation clearly, dismount here, tie yourself up, and go to Emperor Wei to ask for death for your sins! ”
Ma Chao was angry and scolded angrily: "You guy who doesn't know whether you live or die, you dare to speak wildly, when I break through the city, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces!" ”
Shang Ling immediately replied: "You guy who killed his father and son and brother should have broken his body to pieces a long time ago, how can you still have the face to live in this world?" If it were you, I would have fallen off my horse and killed myself! ”
Ma Dai saw that Ma Chao was about to blush with anger and his neck was thick, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, what are you talking about with these people who play lip service, let's hurry up and collect the wheat." ”
Ma Chao listened, held his breath tightly, and slowly spit it out for a long time, and said to Ma Dai: "Then, you come to shout." ”
Ma Dai raised his throat and shouted towards the city: "Listen to the defenders in the city, now, our Han army has come out in all directions, and has taken Chencang, Yixian, Wugong, and Guanzhong, Chang'an has become a lonely city. Your Zhenxi general, Cao Zhen, has already been beheaded by us in the Bao Chuan Road! Stop dreaming that an army will come to your aid! I advise you to stop making unnecessary resistance and surrender as soon as possible! ”
Ma Chao was taken aback, he didn't expect Ma Dai to coax people like this.
"You, what are you talking about?" Before the enemy in the city could reply, Ma Chao asked about Ma Dai first.
Ma Dai's words were all taught by Xu Shu, and he even learned the reason, and said to Ma Chao at the moment: "Brother, if you quarrel with these people, you will definitely not be able to fight them, it is better to scare them to death directly, let them stop thinking early, and maybe Kaicheng will surrender." ”
Ma Chaozhi shook his head: "This is too suspenseful, right?" ”
Before Ma Dai could answer, the city commander hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense here!" Just rely on you thieves who are cowering in the mountain nest in Yizhou, and you still want to take Guanzhong? ”
Ma Dai didn't have the heart to argue with them here, so he just shouted: "Believe it or not!" Soldiers in the city, don't send them to death in vain! Now, I'll give you three days! In three days, we will not attack the city. Wait and see if anyone will come to your rescue! In three days, if you don't open the door and surrender, we will break through the city, and then we will not be blamed for the merciless swords and guns! ”
Although the Shu army knew that this was a lie, they were also happy to coax, and shouted: "If you don't surrender for three days, you won't have the life to see your father!" "If you don't surrender for three days, you won't be able to see your father and mother!"
Ma Chao shook his head, what is this!
Ma Dai said to Ma Chao: "Brother, then, you led half of the sergeants to besiege the city here, and I will take people to grab wheat?" ”
Ma Chao laughed out loud and nodded, "Well, let's go." ”
It turned out that Ge Liang had already calculated that sending troops at this time could save a lot of military rations according to the records in the book.
At this time, when the wheat in Longshang was about to ripen, Ma Chao was not in a hurry to attack Shangtai, but just asked Ma Dai to lead the sergeants to hurry up and strive to harvest all the thousands of hectares of wheat fields.
When Shang Tai Ling heard Ma Dai shouting that he would not attack the city for three days, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he just took advantage of this time to strengthen the city defense.
Three days, three days, it was enough for the army near Chencang to rush over and relieve the siege.
What do you say that Chencang, Yixian, Wugong and other places have been occupied by them, and the ghost believes it!
At that moment, he gathered all the officials together: "Don't believe Ma Chao's nonsense, if they can still take down so many cities in Guanzhong, where would they be interested in running to Tianshui, they would have gathered a large army to besiege Chang'an." You have to believe that the imperial court will soon send a large army to the rescue, don't mess with the morale of the army! ”
He will not forget that when Ma Chao rebelled in the early years, Yan Wen was stationed in Shangqi, because some of his subordinates responded to Ma Chao, Yan Wen couldn't stop it, and had no choice but to abandon the city and run to Jicheng, he must not let this kind of thing happen again.
But why did Ma Chao give them three days? It stands to reason that when they came from afar, they must rush to capture a city first, seize the grain, grass and ordnance in the city, and then find a way to defeat the reinforcements and continue to attack other places?
By the next day, he would know the answer.
The county Gongcao rushed to report: "My lord, my lord, Ma Chao and them, it seems that they are grabbing wheat outside the city!" ”
The county order suddenly made a big mistake, no wonder it said that it would take three days, it turned out that it was here to grab food, it really sounded!
"The wheat is not ripe yet! Is this a gang of animals? Why don't they gnaw on the wheat seedlings? He shouted angrily.
"My lord, although it is not fully ripe, but after cutting, it can barely be eaten, the key is, they have cut all the wheat now, what will we eat then?" Gong Cao said it well and practically.
The county magistrate is still scolding: "Ma Mengqi, who has no children and grandchildren, has actually done this business of stealing chickens and touching dogs!" ”
Is this kind of thing a common occurrence in war? In the past, Xiahou conquered the west and pacified the northwest, didn't he grab grain everywhere? Gong Cao didn't have the heart to scold, he was only worried that he would have no food to eat, so he hurriedly asked for the county order: "My lord, do you want to take advantage of the fact that their soldiers and horses are scattered to grab food, and we rush out and drive them away?" ”
"You're hungry! Knock them away? With the more than 1,000 county soldiers in our city, do you want to beat Ma Chao away? You go, you go! The prefectural order spat on the ground angrily. (To be continued.) )
