Although he was very eager to capture Yunwu City, Ma Chao didn't dare to really do it, he had already been warned by Liu Qi: "You must cherish this opportunity to conquer Han Sui, if you lose this time, we don't know when we will have such an opportunity again, so Meng Qi, every time there is a big event, you must be calm, you must be calm, until the arrival of the army, you must not act rashly." ”

Tong Guò followed Liu Qi's campaign for a period of time, he was completely convinced, and he really cherished this opportunity to conquer Han Sui, so he did not hesitate to implement Liu Qi's admonition, and he would never have half a point of resistance or disapproval.

Even if it is to repay the kindness of Duke Chu and not to harm Duke Chu's major affairs, he will definitely obey.

If he hadn't met a Ming lord like Duke Chu, he might not have this opportunity for revenge in another ten years, and even, he was afraid that he would not have such an opportunity for the rest of his life, although he believed that Liu Bei would definitely send troops to recruit Han Sui, but he also believed that Liu Bei would never be like Duke Chu, allowing himself to lead an elite cavalry of 20,000 people alone and personally recruit Han Sui to avenge the great revenge.

Once, when he was deprived of military power and was left with only a nominal general, he thought that he might never have any hope of avenging his family in this life. Fortunately, Zhang Fei later sympathized with himself and tried his best to protect himself as the deputy general of the Hanzhong campaign, which gave him the opportunity to lead the troops again, but he knew that even if he won Hanzhong, it would be difficult for him to have another chance to conquer Han Sui, and he knew that the army in his hand was only temporarily assigned to him by Zhang Fei, and it would be taken back immediately once the war was over.

Even if Zhang Fei doesn't agree, Liu Bei will never give himself such a chance.

Fortunately, he was bizarrely defeated in Hanzhong. Moreover, he took refuge in Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu, and even the Duke of Chu was very thoughtful for him, and even arranged for him to let go of Zhang Fei who was in trouble. returned his affection, so that he could fight with him with peace of mind in the future.

Besides. The Duke of Chu even reflected his generosity, directly giving himself the establishment of 20,000 cavalry, and spent a lot of materials in exchange for the war horses needed by the 20,000 cavalry, it can be said that without the support of the Duke of Chu, his 20,000 cavalry would definitely be difficult to establish.

"Hehe, Liu Bei used fraud to win the world, although he seems to be benevolent. Treat people with sincerity, but after all, it is hypocrisy, small family spirit, where is like Chu Gong, really treat people with sincerity, and have absolute trust in all the civil and military forces under his command, I would rather be responsible for me, I will never be responsible for people, General Pei Qian, the assassin of Jiaozhou, has tens of thousands of heavy troops in his hands and is in charge of a state alone. There are also General Huang Lao of the Assassin of Yizhou, General Xu of Yangzhou and General Wei of Xuzhou, which of them is not holding heavy troops? But Duke Chu never doubted them, and none of them ever had the idea of betrayal. Even when Cao Cao tempted him with heavy profits and his father's order, General Pei refused without the slightest melancholy, this is where Duke Chu won people. ”

A smile appeared in the corner of Ma Chao's eyes, and he continued to think: "Of course, with the combat power of the 20,000 personal soldiers under the command of Duke Chu and the strong prestige among the civil and military forces in the five states, what general has such the strength to betray?" If anyone has such an idea, it is estimated that all the civil and military forces under his command will never follow. ”

He knows that the only person in the world who can rest assured of him, and who dares to rest assured of him, is probably only Chu Gong.

That's when it happened. Ma Chao ignored the heavily guarded enemy troops at the head of the city, and retreated to the village ten miles away under their surprised gaze. Then every day was to strengthen the defense, waiting for the arrival of the army led by Liu Qi, the Duke of Chu.

The Xiliang army on Yunwu City saw that Ma Chao did not attack the city. They were also surprised in their hearts, they wanted to take the opportunity of Ma Chao's siege of the city to consume his strength, but they didn't expect this person to do this, but to build a camp carefully and steadily, waiting for the arrival of the main army, no matter how the defenders at the head of the city insulted, Quan Dang did not hear.

Today's Ma Chao is calm and terrifying, which makes all the soldiers feel worried, and even the reckless Ma Chao's personality has changed heavily, and the soldiers in Yunwu City are even more worried about their way out.

Of course, they were just worried, but they didn't dare to go out of the city to take the initiative to fight each other, because they knew that Ma Chao was powerful, and if he went out of the city to provoke his cavalry, it would be no different from looking for death.

Therefore, they can only wait helplessly, on the one hand, they hope that Han Sui's army will turn around quickly, and on the other hand, they hope that Ma Chao will be angered by their own side, so they will angrily lead the army to attack the city, although they know that with Ma Chao's current state, their latter hope is almost impossible.

Almost the next day, Liu Qi's army arrived, more than 80,000 people will be the entire Yunwu siege of the water impassable, and then, Liu Qi did not rush to attack the city, but ordered Huang Zhong to lead the Tuifeng battalion to suppress the defenders on the city, dense and sharp crossbow arrows forced the Xiliang defenders on the city to only shrink within the female wall, as long as the head is exposed, it will definitely be killed by their feather arrows.

A few days later, Liu Qi made dozens of thunderbolt cars under the city, only to see Liu Qi's order, countless stones were thrown to the city, for the destruction of the city wall is secondary, but the huge stones made the defenders in the city have a huge panic.

And panic, like the plague, is easily contagious!

Originally, the strength of Liu Qi's army had left a deep imprint in the Xiliang army, and those Xiliang troops who had experienced the Battle of Aquarius and the Battle of Di Dao brought their fear of the Chu army to the army after fleeing back to Yunwu, although Han Sui's son Han Fang killed a few sergeants who preached how strong the Chu army was, but the panic not only did not decrease, but became bigger and bigger.

The defenders in the city were already afraid of the Chu army, and the Chu army was numerous and violent, and now they began to attack the city with thunderbolts.

At this time, Han Sui, who was in Wuwei, had already heard the news of the loss of Longxi and the crisis in Jincheng, and he had finally killed Zhang Meng, the former Wuwei Taishou, and captured the entire Wuwei County, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to use this as an excuse to say that he was killing the court officials in vain, so he commanded an army of 50,000 to attack Wuwei, and he led the army to defend Wuwei, and held on to it for many days, seeing that he could drag Liu Bei out of food and retreat, but he didn't expect that his lair was in danger.

"This, how is this possible? This damn Liu Qi, I, Han Sui, have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, why do you want to lead the army to occupy my territory? Also, is that bastard Chengyi a pig? The 20,000 elite cavalry repeatedly lost their divisions and lost ground, and they were chased by Liu Qi's infantry, which really deserved to be killed. ”

Han Sui's expression changed from confusion to anger, his face was pale, and he shouted.

"My lord, it's too late to say anything now, for the sake of today, let's go back to Jincheng as soon as possible, we and the families of the soldiers are still in Jincheng, if Yunwu is obtained by Liu Qi, our foundation will be lost, it will be like a tree without roots, water without a source, and we will no longer be able to fight for the world." The general Ma Yu sighed and persuaded Han Sui.

Han Sui nodded when he heard this, and just as he was about to give the order, he heard the military advisor Cheng Gongying say: "General, Liu Qi has always been scheming, and he will inevitably set up ambushes along the way to wait for us, his troops are already large, and he has won many victories, and the momentum is flourishing, if we encounter the system, I am afraid that not only can we not win, but even we may not be able to keep ourselves, so the last general will not build General Yì to return to Jincheng." ”

After hearing this, Han Sui suddenly felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but hesitate.

At this time, Ma Yu shouted loudly: "Cheng Gongying, how can you persuade the general to do such an unrighteous act?" Now that our small street is in Jincheng, everyone thinks of returning, our whole army is united, and we will return to Jincheng with a mortal heart, and the morale of the army is strong, and we will be able to defeat Liu Qi under the city of Yunwu, but you persuade the general to refuse to come back, what is the intention? ”

As soon as Ma Yu said this, Zhang Heng also nodded, and said in deep agreement: "Brother Ma's words are reasonable, just in line with everyone's wishes, now that Jincheng is in crisis, our family is looking forward to returning, the general just conforms to the will of the army, returns to Jincheng, and breaks Liu Qi together, so why hesitate?" Cheng Gongying is an unrighteous person, regardless of his little wife, and wants to trap the general in injustice, and the general must not listen to his nonsense. ”

Han Sui had tears in his eyes, and sighed slowly: "You don't know, Liu Qi has always been scheming, since he led a large army to besiege Jincheng, he will inevitably guard against us and others to lead the army back to help, so as long as we dare to go back, he will definitely set up an ambush to deal with us, Yunwu will not have many soldiers defending the city, and there are defeated soldiers who fled back, and they will definitely exaggerate the bravery of Sergeant Liu Qi. I'm afraid that if Liu Qi uses us to coerce us, I am afraid that Liu Qi will not need to do it at that time, even if we and other soldiers will definitely capture us and hand them over to Liu Qi. Therefore, Gongying is very reasonable. ”

"What does the general mean?" Ma Yu was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

But Han Sui, who listened, was silent for a moment, and sighed slowly: "It's better for me not to wait to return to Jincheng, but to take refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Qi will kill the family in the city under his anger, so that the soldiers of the three armies will be the same enemy, and we will use Liu Bei's power to defeat Liu Qi and recover Jincheng and Longxi, so that although the family is lost, our lives can be saved, otherwise, we will die in vain, but it is useless, and after thousands of years, we will be laughed at as unwise." ”

"Huh? What the? What about our small family? Was it just a sacrifice in vain? Ma Play and Zhang Heng couldn't help but say in surprise when they heard this.

"Alas, those who do big things are not informal, if we take care of the small family, even we will lose our lives, but if we do what Han wants, although the family is still not saved, but we can be preserved, and we can restore the old business, which of the two roads is cost-effective, think about it yourself."

"This ......" Ma Yu couldn't help but move in his heart after hearing about it, and didn't say anything more.

But Zhang Heng said sharply: "I sacrificed my family to fulfill myself, I don't take it, I'd rather be on the way back to help, and never do such unrighteous things, General Han, take your leave." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Heng snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued)
