Ma Teng laughed and walked over to Fu Gan, "Hahaha, Yancai is really a talent, and he got three thousand stones of grain and grass in a few days, not bad, thanks to you this time!" ”

"The general has won the award, this is what should be done!" Fu Gan arched his hand.

Ma Teng invited Fu Gan into the inner hall to discuss matters, and there were several of his generals and officials in the inner hall.

After everyone was in place, Ma Teng asked Fu Gan: "Yan Cai, although I don't want to admit it, but the combat power of the Flame Army is far above our army, and in a head-on battle, our army has little chance of winning, especially in the current situation of lack of cavalry, I don't know what good strategy Yan Cai has?" ”

Fu Gan thought for a moment and said: "Although the general was defeated in this battle, he did not suffer much loss, and his strength is still there, in my opinion, it is better to continue to retreat to the west to Huangcheng to further lengthen the supply line of the Flame Army, so that it is more convenient for Liangzhou Wei to send troops to reinforce the general!" ”

"Besides, we still have to think of ways to solve the cavalry under Qin Feng, I have heard the soldiers talk about the strength of this cavalry under Qin Feng, if you want to win against Qin Feng, you must first solve this cavalry!"

Ma Teng immediately asked, "I don't know what good plan Yan Cai has?" ”

Fu Gan said: "Thinking about it, the only way to do it at the moment is to set a trap and introduce it into it!" ”

"How do you set traps, bait?"

"At this time, I haven't thought about it properly, and I will give advice to the general when I have a clue!" Fu Gan said.

Ma Teng could only nod helplessly.

The next day, at noon.

A fast horse galloped to the west city gate and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, I have an urgent military report!" ”

The gates of the city were soon opened, and the messenger galloped all the way to the county office.

When Ma Teng heard that the messenger sent back to Jincheng had returned, he hurriedly called for someone to bring it in.

"See the general!"

Ma Teng immediately said, "Get up, have you ever seen a certain brother?" When will the grain and grass arrive? ”

The messenger said eagerly: "General, something is wrong, when the villain rushed back to Jincheng, Han Sui is leading the troops to attack Jincheng, day and night, the villain can see clearly, and he doesn't dare to get too close and quickly return to report to the general!" ”

"What?" The toilet bowl was shocked, "Han Sui is leading the troops to attack Jincheng?" You read that right? ”

"Exactly, the villain is absolutely not mistaken, Han Sui's Daxu is erected among the enemy troops attacking the city outside the city!"

At this time, Pang De said: "General, my subordinates understand why Han Sui didn't lead the army to join forces to attack the Flame Army as agreed, he must have planned it a long time ago, and he led the army to capture the city just when the general left with the army. ”

"Also, maybe that kid Fu Gan has something to do with him!"

Ma Teng was anxious when he heard the news that Jincheng was being attacked by Han Sui's troops, Jincheng only had 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, and the eldest brother Ma Yi did not have much military talent, and Han Sui also had at least 50,000 soldiers and horses, if Han Sui brought the other eight strong generals over, he was afraid that he would be able to make up an army of 70,000 or 80,000, and he didn't know how long Ma Yi could hold it.

Ma Teng immediately sent someone to call Ma Chao, Ma Dai and other brothers over to discuss.

When Ma Chao heard this, he exploded on the spot, "Father, quickly order the gathering of soldiers and horses to return to Jincheng, this time we must kill Han Sui, the old boy, without leaving a piece of armor!" It's such a bastard, this person actually took advantage of our attack on Qin Feng to sneak attack our army's lair, he really deserves death! ”

Ma Dai said worriedly: "My brother wants to lead the army back to help, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!" ”

"Why?" Ma Chao's eyes widened.

Ma Dai said: "Don't forget that there are still Qin Feng's 20,000 Flame Army twenty miles outside the city, how can the Flame Army scouts not notice when we wait for the army to leave the city?" It is unknown whether you will be able to go at that time, and if you want to return safely, you have to make peace with Qin Feng! ”

Now I am distressed, the war was provoked by Ma Teng, and now he wants to make peace, how can Qin Feng be resigned? Who doesn't have a little temper?

Ma Teng quickly made a decision, and said with a firm face: "Send someone to make peace with Qin Feng, no matter what conditions he offers, as long as it is not too excessive!" ”

Soon, a civil official was called.

"I wonder what the general's orders are?" A middle-aged official asked after saluting.

Ma Teng said: "Mr. Liang, now that Jincheng is being attacked by Han Sui's army, we must lead the army back as soon as possible, but if we don't make peace with the Flame Army, we can't leave, so Ma wants to ask Mr. to go to the Flame Army camp to meet Qin Feng and discuss with him about the truce and reconciliation and alliance!" ”

Liang Kang thought for a while and said, "The general wants to make peace and form an alliance with the Flame Army, but I'm afraid that he will have to show enough sincerity before he can meet Qin Feng next!" ”

Ma Teng asked, "How can Ma show enough sincerity?" ”

"Send the provocateur Fu Gan letter to Qin Feng!"

Ma Teng agreed without hesitation: "It was this kid who bewitched him, and he raised troops to attack Qin Feng, and now he wants to calm Qin Feng's anger, but I am afraid that there is nothing else to replace except his head!" Pang De, you go and tie up Fu Gan and accompany Mr. to see Qin Feng! ”

"No!" Pound took the order and left.

When Liang Kang packed up and prepared to go to the Flame Army camp, Pang De had already walked over with a few sergeants escorting Fu Gan.

Fu Gan looked flustered at this time, "General Pang, where are you going to take the others?" ”

"You'll find out when you go! Come on, shut his mouth, so as not to make noise along the way! ”

Under Pound's order, a sergeant brought a stinky rag and stuffed it into Fu Gan's mouth, and Fu Gan tried desperately to come out but couldn't do it anyway.

It wasn't until Pang De led someone to escort him to the Flame Military Camp that he realized that he was only afraid that he would be more auspicious on this trip, what happened to cause Ma Teng to turn his face?

"Who's coming?" The sergeant on the camp stretched out his bow and aimed at Pang De and his party.

Liang Kang immediately said: "I am a small official under General An Qiang, and I was ordered to come and ask to see General Qin!" ”

The captain of the camp gate shouted, "What are you waiting for? ”

"Commanded to come for peace!"

The soldiers of the Flame Army on the camp looked at each other and begged for peace? Is there a mistake, now the two sides are fighting to the death, and you say that you are coming to sue for peace?

The captain of the camp did not dare to call the shots, and immediately said: "You wait and wait, wait for me to report to the general!" ”

Qin Feng and others are discussing how to break the deadlock in the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Teng has the advantage of troops, but he hides in the city and does not come out, while Qin Feng's side has a slightly stronger combat power, but the troops are small, and it is a stupid act to attack the city, so now both sides are riding tigers.

"Report - Lord Qiqi, there is a messenger sent by Ma Teng outside the camp gate, saying that he has come to ask for peace!"

The report of the captain of the camp gate made Qin Feng and all the generals stunned.

Qin Feng reacted quickly, he guessed that something was either going on Ma Teng's side, or he was trying to play some trick, after thinking about it, he said, "Go and bring someone over!" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, a middle-aged scribe walked in with fluttering sleeves and saluted Qin Feng, who was sitting on the main seat: "Liang Kang has seen General Qin!" ”
