"Candidates, Liang Xing, Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu, four despicable villains, actually betrayed me! I'm going to kill four of them! As soon as Han Sui heard the news of the rebellion of the four people, his face changed greatly, and he roared and overturned the desk in front of him.

"Brother Wen Yue, calm down!" Ma Teng immediately stepped forward and pressed the roaring Han Sui.

"Father-in-law, please calm your anger, the rebellion of the four will definitely kill the four people, and now our army is facing a crisis, please also ask my father-in-law to calm down and discuss the crisis of our army together." Ma Chao arched his hand and dissuaded Han Sui.

"Whew!" Han Sui took a deep breath and calmed down. Han Sui thought carefully about the situation of the Western Liang Army, and the Western Liang Army was basically in a desperate situation. Anding and Beidi were controlled by Cao Cao, Chang'an was also lost, and the grain route of the Western Liang army was completely cut off.

"Meng Qi, our army's grain road has been cut off now, and the military rations are less than three months, if we are still trapped in Weishui, we will sit and wait for the Cao army to come and collect our corpses!" Han Sui slapped his thigh and sighed.

"White Rider, what do you think?" Ma Chao turned around and glanced at Zhang Baiqi.

"Two generals, major generals, according to Bai Cai's humble opinion, our army can only retreat to Jincheng and Tianshui." Zhang Baiqi knew in his heart that there was no military rations, so he had to retreat, retreat to Jincheng and Tianshui, and still have a chance for the final decisive battle.

"Bai Qi, is there really no way?" Ma Teng looked at the map and asked Zhang Baiqi, since Zhang Baiqi was the military division, the Xiliang Army did not dare to say that there were many victories and fewer defeats, but at least there was no fiasco in the battle.

"General Ma, if we are trapped here again, I'm afraid we will have to be slaughtered."

"White riding? Even if we want to retreat, how can the 70,000 army retreat to Jincheng and Tianshui? Han Sui looked at the map and wanted to retreat to Xiliang. There is only one passage in Chencang.

What kind of place is Chencang. Han Sui understands very well. The terrain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, thousands of people can resist 100,000 troops as long as they are properly guarded, in order to block Cao's army from advancing westward, Chen Cang has laid a defense, and tens of thousands of troops want to retreat from Chen Cang to Xiliang, it is a very difficult thing.

"General Han's words are reasonable, Bai Qi didn't want all the 70,000 troops to withdraw at all. As long as the elite cavalry of our army is guaranteed to withdraw to Xiliang. ”

"What! White Horse, do you mean that we are going to give up most of the army? Han Sui was stunned, the elite of the Xiliang army is the javelin cavalry and the big shield infantry, but these people are 30,000 people, and the rest are the troops of the Hu people, that is, mercenaries, Zhang Baiqi means to sacrifice the mercenaries and protect the elite of Xiliang.

"Bai Cai, if we sacrifice the armies of the Hu and Qiang people and return to Xiliang, how can we gain a foothold?" Ma Teng was also stunned. The biggest reason why Han Sui and Ma Teng were able to divide Xiliang for a long time was that they were trustworthy and benevolent and subdued the hearts of the Qiang people and the Hu people. But if the mercenaries of Xiliang were sacrificed this time, how would Ma Teng and Han Sui gain a foothold in Xiliang?

"Is there any clever plan for the white horseman?" Ma Chao knew Zhang Baiqi, what he was not sure of, Zhang Baiqi would not do, and according to Zhang Baiqi's resourcefulness, he would not put Ma Teng and Han Sui in a disadvantageous situation.

"Two generals, young generals, the white cavalry will not let you lose your trust in the Qiang people."

"What do you mean by white riding?"

"Borrow a knife to kill!" Zhang Baiqi made a killing gesture.

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

"Yes, three generals, the Qiang and Hu people in the Xiliang army were not sent by us to send them to death, but warriors who died in battle with the Cao army, and the three generals can also take advantage of this matter to return to Xiliang and continue to recruit foreign warriors to serve our army."

"Oh? Bai Qi carefully said, what are your plans? ”

"No!"

"Three generals, the terrain of Chencang is treacherous, from the Chencang Pass to the Liangzhou Plain in the west, there is an official road of about twenty miles is located in a narrow valley, and only two sergeants and two war horses can pass here at the same time, which is also the main reason why our army cannot return to Xiliang in a short time."

"Yes, Bai Qi, if it is an ordinary pass, without this narrow valley road, my army will only need to pass through in one day, I originally wanted to use this place to block the Cao army, but I don't want to become an obstacle to our army now!" Ma Chao shook his head, his plan was good, but there were four traitors, one was wrong, and everything was lost!

"Three generals, if our elite and important people completely pass through Chen Cang, it is estimated that it will take about a month for the white cavalry. Bai Qi has ordered Bozhan to build a pontoon bridge on the west bank of Weishui, and our Weibei army can retreat to Chencang at any time. ”

"Bai Qi suggested building a deep ditch on the plain east of Chencang to build a defensive line against Cao's army."

"Defend against Cao's army?"

"Bai Cai, Cao's army has a large number of heavy siege weapons on the front line of Chang'an, if our army holds on here?"

"What the young general said is very true, Bai Qi didn't think that he could stop the Cao army with the eastern plain, it just bought time for the elite of our army to return to Xiliang."

"I see, the white rider is smart! At that time, the Qiang and Hu people who died in the area of Chencang will not be the substitutes for our army, but the heroes who resisted the Cao army's attack on Xiliang! ”

"Yes, when the three generals return to Xiliang, they can also re-call the Qiang people and the Hu people of the Western Regions to join our army, and then our army will only lose some mercenaries of foreign races."

"Hahahaha! Bai Qi is really a man with far-reaching wisdom, and such an ingenious plan to kill people with a knife has also been thought up by Bai Qi. Han Sui and Ma Teng immediately understood Zhang Baiqi's plan, and it was really a clever plan, borrowing a knife to kill people, so that they could retain the elite without being infamy.

On the Taishou Mansion of Chang'an City, Cao Cao received a secret report from Lu Rui.

"Hahahaha! Bufan really did not live up to my expectations, and the stability and northland have returned to the hands of our army, and the four candidates have also returned to our army. After speaking, Cao Cao handed the information to Guo Jia and Xun You.

"Fengxiao, Gongda, the grain road of the Xiliang army has been cut off by our army, and the Xiliang army will inevitably be in chaos, it is estimated that the Xiliang army has a plan to retreat from Chencang, what do you think?"

"Lord, the grain road of the Xiliang Army has been cut off, if the grain is transported from Chencang, it will inevitably be intercepted by our army, in order to preserve the strength of the Xiliang Army, the best way is to return to Liangzhou from Chencang, Xu Tu will plan later." Guo Jia arched his hand and returned to Cao Cao.

"What Feng Xiao said is reasonable, according to Feng Xiao's plan, how should our army respond?"

"Lord, if Ma Chao sticks to Weishui, within a few months, the Xiliang army will be defeated!"

"Well, if Ma Chao retreats to Chencang, how should our army respond?"

"Lord, if the Xiliang army retreats to Chencang, it must pass through the west bank of Weishui, and our army should immediately send troops to control the west bank of Weishui now to prevent the Xiliang army from returning to Chencang."

"Well, what Fengxiao said is very true, so do what Fengxiao wants."

"Subordinates, see the lord!"

"What's the matter with Zhongkang?" Seeing Xu Chu coming in a hurry, Cao Cao glanced at Xu Chu suspiciously.

"Back to the lord, there has been turmoil in the Qiang army outside the city, and Sima has gone to appease the army, so let me report to the lord."

"Got it, Zhong Kang will go down first!"

"No!"

"Fengxiao, Gongda, what do you think the Qiang people should do?" Cao Cao touched his temple, this group of Qiang people is really difficult to deal with, it is now the relationship between the allies, but there will be conflicts with Cao Jun from time to time.

"Lord, I have offered a plan to kill people with a knife, and Jia thinks it's the right time to use it now!" Guo Jia smiled slightly, and suddenly thought of a clever plan. (To be continued......)
