Chapter 357: Take Xiliang!
Everything came too fast, so that Pang De, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others had no way to prepare.
The slightest cold wind blew on the faces of all the soldiers, some of them looked wooden, some sighed, and some just nodded silently.
When he set out on the expedition, Ma Bin specially told Wang Meng not to hurt Ma Chao and Ma Dai until he had to.
At the moment, although Wang Meng has not forgotten Ma Bin's advice, if Pang De, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others continue to resist, he can only kill them all!
The battlefield has always been cold.
This is a time when the winner is king, and it doesn't take much pity and sympathy.
Perhaps the only thing Wang Meng could do afterwards was to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land and bury the enemy he still respected.
Pound, who had been silent for a long time, clenched his fists and slowly stood up.
His face was hideous, as if he was going to devour the army of 10,000 around him.
Looking at his expression, Wang Meng could see that Pang De wanted him to take his army to make a desperate bet in order to die in battle and bury Ma Teng.
"Hey, it's a rare member of the fierce general, it's a pity!"
After Wang Meng sighed secretly in his heart, he was just about to let his soldiers prepare to move, but Ma Chao suddenly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with great perseverance: "Surrender!" ”
"Major General!"
After Pound heard these two words, he knelt directly on the ground with a plop, his face full of pleading.
When will Xiliang's army have a reason to surrender! In Pound's view, Ma Chao did this to undoubtedly make his father die!
"Surrender!"
Ma Chao roared, and Pound's body trembled slightly, this is obviously not Ma Chao's style!
Ma Chao is a jealous and hateful person, and now that his father has been killed, he should fight back. Revenge on his father.
Now he wants to make the army surrender, which is incredible!
"Everyone, if you still recognize me as a major general, hurry up and put down the weapons in your hands!"
"Major General!"
Almost all the Xiliang soldiers knelt down! Although there is only one way to die in the war, how can they ever suffer such a shame now.
At that time, Li Dao and Guo Yan led their troops to the west of Dunhuang, and they never surrendered.
Today, though, it is surrounded by heavy armies. But they believe that as long as Pang De, Ma Chao, and Ma Dai are willing to take them to fight, they may still have hope of breaking through.
Taking the initiative to give up now undoubtedly chills many soldiers.
And surrender does not mean that they can return to Wuwei alive, in case Wang Meng orders them all to be slaughtered, it will not be a big joke.
"Do you still recognize me as a major general!"
There were tears in the corners of Ma Chao's eyes, but his expression was extremely hideous. He jerked out the saber from his waist and placed it around his neck.
Wang Meng and Yan Yan were also shocked when they saw this scene.
The soldiers of Xiliang were also stunned when they saw this scene! After Pang De glanced at Ma Chao thoughtfully, he took the lead in dropping the big knife in his hand.
When the others saw it, they also put down their weapons one after another.
"General Wang, now we have surrendered! If you want to kill, you have to scrape and listen to the honor! ”
Although this ending surprised Wang Meng. But it is what Wang Meng wants to see, after all, Ma Chao's approach allows him to avoid falling into a dilemma.
He was really curious about what Ma Teng said to Ma Chao when he was dying, but since they had surrendered, Wang Meng didn't speculate, and the rest of the matter depended on his lord's handling.
"General Ben never kills a soldier who has surrendered! Now Wuwei has been taken down by us! Now that you have surrendered, if you want to go home and farm, General Ben can arrange for you to go to Wudu County! ”
"Why can't you stay in Xiliang!"
I don't know which soldier suddenly shouted, and the other Xiliang soldiers immediately shouted.
Pang De glanced at Ma Chao, who had already stood up, and said, "It's not that General Ben doesn't trust you. Xiliang has gone through the war and wants to restore the previous situation. I'm afraid it's going to be a long time coming! If you go to Wudu, the government will distribute seeds and arrange fields, so you can suffer less! ”
Although this is a bit high-sounding, Wang Meng can only explain it this way for the time being.
"We're not going to Wudu! We're going to stay in Xiliang! ”
All the Xiliang soldiers were shouting loudly, and Wang Meng shook his head helplessly. If they continue like this, won't they force him to kill?
"Presumptuous!"
Pound shouted and said, "The young general didn't speak, where are you picking!" ”
Being reprimanded by Pang De like this, the soldiers of Xiliang suddenly quieted down.
Ma Chao said loudly: "General Ben will only be the head of General Ma in the future, if you want to live a stable life, General Ben will not be forced to stay, but you must do it according to General Wang's arrangement!" Of course. If you are willing to join the Hanzhong Army, General Ben is always welcome! ”
After being silent for a while, Youxi Liangbing said directly: "Wherever the major general goes, we will go!" ”
"Yes, where the major general goes, we will go!"
Ma Chao nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wang Meng and said, "Now they are willing to join the Hanzhong Army, as for how to arrange it, it will bother General Wang!" ”
Wang Meng smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then you will be our brothers from now on!" But you will be divided into different armies! Do you have any objections? ”
"We're going to follow the Major General!" Xiliang soldiers shouted loudly.
Ma Chao said loudly again: "Since you have surrendered, General Wang's order is a military order!" If you don't listen, you will be dealt with according to military law! ”
As soon as Ma Chao said this, they were suddenly silent.
"That's it! Now that you have surrendered, you must obey the military orders! Those who obey military orders are good brothers! Those who disobey are still enemies! ”
Wang Meng said categorically word by word, and when Wang Meng said this, the soldiers of Xiliang had no choice but to obey the arrangement.
After the soldiers of Xiliang were assigned to different armies, Wang Meng called Yan Yan aside and said: "They surrendered too suddenly, they must be a little tired, originally the lord asked General Ben to go back to Beiyuan as soon as possible after destroying Wuwei, but now it seems that there is only General Yan!" ”
Yan Yan smiled and said, "The old man thinks so too!" After all, now that a large area of territory is owned by the lord, there must be no chaos! It must be safe to have a general guarding here! But we can't let Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De be together, we have to take one away! ”
Wang Meng nodded and said, "Who does the old general think he should take away?" ”
Yan Yan said: "Although Ma Chao is a young general, he is young after all, and Pang De's prestige in Xiliang is very high, General Wang should have seen it just now, so according to the old man's opinion, it is better to let Pang De go to Beiyuan with General Ben!" ”
Wang Meng thought for a while and said, "Okay! Then do as General Yan said! The old general can take 10,000 horses back first! Even if Pound has different intentions, but there are 10,000 horses here, he doesn't dare to do anything, but the old general must beware of Pound secretly making trouble! ”
After Yan Yan nodded, Wang Meng continued: "Zhu Sheng and Zhao Tao will stay here, let the two of them guard Wuwei and Yuzhong, this is a long-term plan, otherwise if Qianghu suddenly goes south, these cities that we have worked so hard to build will also be defeated!" ”
Yan Yan stroked his beard, nodded and said, "General Wang is thoughtful!" Then do it! ”
After the discussion, Wang Meng and Yan Yan came to Pang De, Ma Chao and Ma Dai.
Wang Meng said: "General Ben will transport Hou Ye's body back to Wuwei for burial with the young general, but General Pang needs to go to Beiyuan with General Yan, I don't know if the major general and General Pang are willing!" ”
When Pang De heard this, he was immediately furious, but Ma Chao hurriedly said: "Since we have surrendered to General Ma and become the men and horses under General Ma, we will naturally obey General Wang's command!" Whatever General Wang says is what it is! ”
"Excellent! The young general is really wise, and he will definitely have a bright future under the command of the lord! In addition, when this general broke through Wuwei, Miss Yunluo was safe and sound, and she is still in Wuwei, so you don't have to worry! ”
"Thank you, General Wang!"
Ma Chao and Ma Dai both clenched their fists suddenly, and Pang De also thanked him after hesitating slightly.
Before Yan Yan led an army of 10,000 to the east, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Pang De muttered for a while, and Wang Meng couldn't interfere with this, so he could only let them.
After Pang De followed Yan Yan to the east, Wang Meng took Ma Chao and Ma Dai to carry Ma Teng's body to Wuwei.
And Zhu Sheng temporarily stayed in Yuzhong with 3,000 men and horses.
Wang Meng and Yan Yan won Wuwei in Xiliang with the help of Zhu Sheng's clever plan, and killed Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai and others led the army to surrender The news has already been whipped up and sent to Beiyuan day and night.
Ma Bin, who was originally sad, was still happy when he heard the news.
However, he quickly calmed down and said to Guo Jia: "According to the report of the spies, Zhang Yang and Gao Shun have already arrived at Luogu with more than 10,000 men and horses in a few days, and the 3,500 horsemen we sent to Meridian Valley can really be able to defeat his 10,000 horses?" ”
Guo Jia said: "They threaten Nanzheng, we threaten Chang'an, and now there are 5,000 men and horses sent by General Han to respond!" Then Lu Bu wants to destroy us in one fell swoop, and it is still very difficult to take Nanzheng! And as long as we can hold out for a while, the 10,000 horses brought by General Yan will arrive here, so the lord doesn't need to panic, everything is under our control! ”
After Ma Bin took a sip of tea, Guo Jia said: "According to the letter, Ma Chao surrendered with Pang De, Ma Dai and others, which seems to be greasy, I don't know what the lord thinks?" ”
Ma Bin laughed and said: "That Ma Teng hates General Ben to the core, and although General Ben, Ma Chao and Ma Dai have the name of master and apprentice before, they have already existed in name only in the competition between General Ben and Hou Ye!" Those two little guys also hate General Ben to the core! So from this point of view, Ma Teng must have said something to Ma Chao before he died, otherwise according to Ma Chao's bull temper, he would not surrender no matter what! (To be continued......)
