Outside Chang'an City, Xiliangtun camp, Ma Chaozhong's army commander's tent.

"Humph!" In the middle of the night, the moon and stars are scarce, but Ma Chao seems to be not sleepy at all, he is wearing armor and robes, as if he is ready to send troops at any time to enter Chang'an City, he smashed a wine cup with his right hand, and his handsome face is particularly hideous because of anger, but seeing him biting his lip, his eyes are tight, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Yuan thief is cunning, he sticks to Chang'an and does not come out, but he just retreats in it, which is really the behavior of the rats!" Tomorrow, I will organize soldiers and horses and equipment to storm Chang'an City, I vow to break through the resignation, and Yuan Shang will not be able to stay in the city all the time! If he can hide for a while, can he live another life? ”

Under Ma Chao's command, there was Ma Dai frowning, and persuaded Ma Chao bitterly: "Brother, Yuan Shang is cunning, the world knows, now he deliberately sticks to Chang'an, just to lure us to attack the city, in order to reduce our troops, the siege of the city, has always been ten times the enemy, our soldiers and horses may not be more than Yuan Shang, plus Chang'an City is strong and tall, insurmountable, because of the attack on this city for several days, the morale of the soldiers of the three armies has fallen to the bottom, and they are all tired, if they continue to attack like this, I'm afraid that I don't need Yuan Shang to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us, the consumption alone is enough to give our army a fatal blow, and the strong attack is already an undesirable strategy, and my brother needs to think of another strategy, so as not to exhaust the soldiers and horses. ”

Ma Chao's eyes widened, he gritted his teeth tightly, and he wanted to crush the steel teeth, his fists were clenched tightly, and the joints made a creaking sound in the silent tent, so he was silent for a while, but saw Ma Chao turn his head to look at Ma Daiyan and said: "You said that you don't want to attack, then let me ask you, in addition to attacking, what other way can defeat Yuan Shang and capture Chang'an?" ”

"This ........." Ma Dai hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said tentatively: "Brother." To tell the truth, in fact, on the first day we arrived in Chang'an, Yuan Shang had a conversation with his brother in the city, he said that his uncle's death had nothing to do with him, and showed several reasons, although the younger brother was stupid, but after careful consideration, Yuan Shang was a smart and cunning person, and killing his uncle was only a hundred disadvantages and no benefits! There is something strange about this matter, so it is better for us to withdraw to Huaili for the time being. It is really unwise to find out the truth carefully, not to fall into the tricks of others, and to be willing to become a pawn......"

"Cousin, you are so confused! Yuan Shang boy, when he was in Bingzhou, he had a grudge with our army, and killing his father was a move to vent his anger, and now he shirks his responsibility in a few words, do you believe him? So simple. How can we gain a foothold in this troubled world! Ma Chao frowned, criticizing Ma Dai with a serious face.

"This ......" Ma Dai seemed to want to explain to Ma Chao, but after looking at Ma Chao's more serious look, Ma Dai's mind changed. still gave up this idea, and said in a different way: "Even so, but brother, the current situation of our army. It's really not appropriate to spend more troops on Chang'an City! What's more, our army is not good at attacking fortifications in the first place, and if it drags on like this, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"I'm afraid that it will cost me many years of family money." A crisp and indifferent voice came in from outside the camp. fell into the ears of Ma Chao and Ma Dai, but it made their expressions wake up suddenly.

Turning his head to look, he saw a female general wearing a pink robe, wrapped in soft armor, and dressed in a strong suit, slowly walking into the handsome tent, silky smooth and bright long hair, ice muscles and jade bones, and clear cherry lips, as if the heroic posture and soft and delicate grace between heaven and earth were all displayed alone, and suddenly brought a wave of infinite poetry and vitality into the military.

"Cousin!" Ma Dai exclaimed, as if he couldn't believe the girl's arrival.

Ma Chao was obviously a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, he frowned, stood up, and said to the woman: "Little sister, you don't lead the troops to defend the city in Huaili, how can you come to Chang'an City on the front line without permission?" ”

The pink-robed female general chuckled lightly and said with a shallow smile: "The little sister is in Huaili, and I heard that the war on my brother's side is quite unsatisfactory, so I personally escorted the grain and grass, and came to share the worries of the brother in front of the three armies, hoping that the brother will not be blamed." Although her voice was curious, there seemed to be a trace of tactfulness hidden in it, which was very pleasant and comfortable.

Ma Chao opened his mouth, wanting to say something reprimanding, but when the words came to his mouth, looking at the girl's coquettish smile, it seemed that it was difficult to look at it, and then he sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said: "That's it, it's all here, it's useless to say." ”

The female general smiled slightly, with a somewhat apologetic look in her smile, and seemed to be a little grateful, and said: "Brother, the little sister is invisible, it seems that I just heard the words of the elder brother and cousin outside the tent, and I probably know the current situation, but the elder brother must not worry, in the opinion of the little sister, it is not difficult to lure Yuan Shang out of the city." ”

When Ma Dai heard this, he seemed to be shocked, but Ma Chao glanced at the woman with disdain and said, "Yunlu, your words are a bit big, right?" ”

This woman is Ma Teng's daughter, Ma Chao's sister, and Ma Yunlu, the daughter of Jiangmen after General Fubo.

Ma Yunlu didn't get angry when he heard this, he just shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Brother, what is the real purpose of Yuan Shang's coming to Guanzhong?" ”

Ma Chao was silent when he heard this, but Ma Dai was quite good at giving people down the stairs, and immediately said: "Yuan Shang is going south in three ways this time, and the goal is naturally to conquer Cao Cao, unify the land of Henan, and settle in the Central Plains to avenge Yuan Shao's revenge, and also want to conquer the world!"

Ma Yunlu nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, Yuan Shang's real purpose here is to conquer the city and expand the territory, his sword is pointed directly at the world, and he is not specifically here to defend the city, defending Chang'an is just his temporary strategy, and his real purpose is still to conquer, only according to this point to lure the appropriate introduction, it is not difficult for him to lead the troops out of Chang'an City." ”

This time, Ma Yunlu's words were to the point, and finally made Ma Chao look right, he hurriedly turned his head, looked at Ma Yunlu with expectation, and said: "Sister, then in your opinion, how should we let Yuan Shang out of the city?" ”

Ma Yunlu smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "Little sister has two steps, as long as the eldest brother does what I say, it is not difficult to let Yuan Shang lead the troops out of the city, before the little sister came to Chang'an, I heard that Cao Cao had arrived on the shore of Weishui, and was sending a messenger to say that the princes of Guanzhong would be sent to help, thinking that the first thing we should do is to spread the news out of the city, so that Yuan Jun, no, it should be said that Yuan Shang knows about it!" ”

Although Ma Chao was reckless, he was not too stupid, and after hearing this, he knew the intention of Ma Yunlu's move, and then said: "If this method is to be obtained, in addition, what is the second thing that needs to be done?" ”

Ma Yunlu smiled slightly, and said: "Organize soldiers and horses tomorrow, attack Chang'an City again, and then withdraw the troops."

“……………”

***********************

Chang'an City is too guarded, and Yuan Shang is temporary.

"Nearly half of the princes in Guanzhong have already submitted to Cao Cao?" Yuan Shang frowned, listening to the general Wang Men report the news to him one by one, his brows couldn't help but furrow deeply, and the wrinkles between his eyes showed that he was quite anxious at the moment.

Wang Men nodded: "Exactly!" ”

"Where did the news come from?"

"It's from the people, but the last general also specially sent secret agents to investigate because of this matter, and found that Cao Jun's actions are indeed as rumored by the people, Cao Cao's old thief intends to take advantage of the opportunity of our army and Ma Chao to take advantage of all the advantages, and then defeat our army in one fell swoop!"

Yuan Shang's eyes rolled, he sighed, shook his head and said: "Cao Cao, the level of education is still the same as it was back then, this move is good, it is wonderful!" All of my previous deployments and advantages will be disrupted and rearranged all at once, no...... I must find a way to rush out of Chang'an as soon as possible, otherwise if the old thief Cao Cao continues to toss like this, the situation in Guanzhong will inevitably collapse sooner or later......... What about Hao Zhao? Hurry up and call him over to me! ”

Hearing this, Wang Men quickly retreated, and after a while, he came to Yuan Shang with Hao Zhao, the current general of the city guard, Yuan Shang didn't say anything superfluous, went straight to the point, and asked: "Hao Zhao, has the offensive of Ma Chao's army been fierce in the past few days?" ”

Hao Zhao shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Back to the lord, Ma Chao's siege in the past few days is obviously not as good as before, and it is becoming more and more difficult to continue day by day, obviously the edge is lost, and his subordinates have found that in the past few days, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses have only feinted and not fought hard, and the main camp has moved back and forth more frequently, which seems to have the intention of retreating." ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Ma Chaoyi retreats? ”

Hao Zhao nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Yuan Shang wiped his chin and pondered, but Wang Men said excitedly: "Lord, this matter is also reasonable, Ma Chao has repeatedly attacked Chang'an, lost his troops and lost his generals, and his momentum is not continuous, if he continues to attack hard, sooner or later he will leave Ma Teng to his family to clean up!" Even if there is a great grudge, I have to let go of it this time...... If Ma Chao withdraws, we can fight Cao Cao as soon as possible! ”

Yuan Shang thought for a while and said, "Don't rush to a conclusion first, so let's go and invite Mr. Tian Feng here, I want to talk to him." ”

When Tian Feng came, Yuan Shang told the stubborn old man everything and asked for his opinion.

After Tian Feng listened, he touched his beard and didn't say anything, Yuan Shangrong thought for a while, and then asked: "Tian Gong, now that Cao Cao is moving quickly, it is not good for our army, and Ma Chao has also led the troops to retreat, are we observing for a while, or quickly leading the troops out of the city to deal with Cao Cao?" Yuan hesitated, and hoped that Mr. would decide for me! ”

Tian Feng opened his eyes and said coldly: "Get out of the city!" Of course, we are out of the city, but we are not going to fight Cao Cao, but to go out of the city to pursue Ma Chao! (To be continued.) )
