Zhu Ling looked like a "loyal protector", if it had been placed a few days ago, it would definitely arouse the disgust of several Wei generals present.

But at this moment, none of the Wei generals felt that Zhu Ling's criticism was wrong.

Even the Wei general, who consciously said the wrong thing, couldn't help but give himself a slap under Zhu Ling's reprimanding tone.

The applause was loud and crisp, making Zhu Ling and the other Wei generals have a satisfied look on their faces.

It's not that Zhu Ling and the other Wei generals really feel that Mi Yang would have expected everything that happened in the camp today.

But Mi Yang didn't expect it, it doesn't mean that the few Wei generals in today's account will not tell Mi Yang for the sake of glory and wealth in the future.

Attacking each other, thus stepping on the corpses of former colleagues to climb to a high position, this kind of thing Zhu Ling has seen too much in Cao Wei for decades.

Since they are all planning to surrender to the Han army, it is better to be cautious in all behaviors.

It's just that Zhu Ling also knows that the words of that Wei general will inevitably cause some suspicion in the hearts of others.

After all, the oath that Mi Yang made in Weishui before was too widespread, which once made many Wei generals panic.

In order to help Mi Yang, and even more so to help himself, Zhu Ling couldn't help but look at the "fellow Daoists" present and said:

"In the Weishui Oath, the general only made it clear to the people of the world that he would not forgive any general who had participated in the massacre.

But none of you and I in today's account have participated in the Xuzhou massacre in the past.

With the heart and mind of a general, with the status of a general, how could he be indiscriminate?

Don't forget, after hearing that Guo Huai and Wang Shuang were captured, the generals have always treated them very favorably. ”

Zhu Ling's explanation made the last scruples in the hearts of several Wei generals quietly disappear.

No matter how much suspicion there is, in the face of iron-clad facts, it will eventually disappear.

Seeing that the eyes of several Wei generals gradually calmed down, Zhu Ling went straight to the point:

"Today, we have a secret discussion, and we will lose both glory and loss.

If anyone still has a heart that does not want to hesitate, he can leave on his own.

I will not stand in the way. ”

Zhu Ling's words were frank, but his hand unconsciously pressed on the saber on his waist.

Can a person with an open heart make a secret decision to surrender to the Han army?

Zhu Ling's movements naturally couldn't escape the eyes of several Wei generals present, but even if they didn't see this, they would not waver in their hearts to surrender to the Han army.

If he was unwilling to surrender, he would not have been instigated by Zhu Ling to come here tonight.

What's more, the Wei army's military law was strict, especially for generals with foreign surnames.

Even if they leave tonight and don't participate in Zhu Ling's actions, if Zhu Ling fails, then their participation in the secret discussion tonight is a capital offense in itself.

Even if they reported to Xiahouba after leaving, with the logic of Cao Wei's military law, if they were really loyal to Great Wei, why not report it before the secret discussion began?

Since both horizontal and vertical are capital crimes, and they are indeed not optimistic that Xiahou Ba can defend Tongguan, why not give it a go?

After a while, all the Wei generals present bowed their hands to Zhu Lingyan and said, "We are like-minded, and we are willing to listen to your dispatch." ”

On how to surrender unharmed, Zhu Ling is professional.

After hearing the words of the Wei generals, a smile appeared on Zhu Ling's face.

He has professional ability in the matter of surrendering, and he has long had a careful plan in his heart about how to surrender to the Han army.

Zhu Ling first looked at one of the several Wei generals and said:

"Captain Chen, most of the soldiers defending the city are your henchmen, and our next priority is to report our intentions to the hussar general as soon as possible.

It's up to you to help with this. ”

Zhu Ling's words made this Captain Chen feel angry.

Although Xiahou Ba is now the main general in Tongguan, Xiahou Ba has served in the Central Plains before, and not long ago, Cao Rong sent Xiahou Ba to Tongguan because he was worried about the safety of Tongguan.

In this case, on the surface, Xiahou Ba can decide all the affairs in Tongguan, but in fact, Xiahou Ba's control over Tongguan is not so strong.

Otherwise, these Wei generals would not have gotten together tonight.

It's just that after Ying Wei, Captain Chen has a concern in his heart.

"We are determined tonight, but how can we make the hussar generals believe in our will?"

As soon as Captain Chen's words came out, even Zhu Ling didn't answer.

Since ancient times, surrender has not been uncommon.

But the reason why there are not many records in the history books is that many of these things have failed.

The most critical factor in failure is often how to convince the opposing host of his heart.

After all, there is a word closely related to surrender called surrender.

And since Mi Yang took charge of the army, the word fraud has almost been played by him.

In this case, Zhu Ling couldn't think of any good way for a while to make Ma Chao believe in their sincerity.

Since you can't think of it, then you can only move the camera first.

Facing Captain Chen's doubts, Zhu Ling finally said in a leisurely tone:

"If the Mandate of Heaven is in Han, the Hussar General will believe it."

After setting the first steps to take, Captain Chen returned to the Tongguan city wall in the middle of the night.

Keeping in mind Zhu Ling's instructions, Captain Chen used his authority to send a pro-credit hanging basket to the city as soon as possible.

In the darkness of the sky, this incident was not noticed.

Even Captain Chen, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't clearly see the movements of his cronies after he landed.

Captain Chen could only choose to look at the Han army camp not far away, and at this moment, Captain Chen prayed silently in his heart:

Hope all the best!

In the brightly lit Han army camp, Ma Chao was lying on his couch.

Ma Dai sat on his knees, wiping the blood on his body for Ma Chaoxiao.

Looking at the re-cracked wound on Ma Chao's body, Ma Dai's eyes were full of unbearability.

Looking at the water in the basin on the side, which was gradually stained red by blood, Ma Dai finally couldn't hold back crying.

Today, Ma Chao is very brave in front of the world, but the price of this courage is very great.

If it was in his heyday, Ma Chao would not have had a big deal to do today's actions.

But was Ma Chao in his heyday?

No matter how powerful Ma Chao is, he is essentially just a mortal in the flesh.

Compared to Ma Dai's sadness, even though the physical pain kept coming, Ma Chao's eyes were still shining.

To this moment, he is still reminiscing about what happened today.

"Rejoice! It's so exciting! ”

After recalling, the emotional Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh.

Similar to a happy emotion, Ma Chao hasn't felt it for many years.

Even if he was assigned by Mi Yang to guard Yinping last year, the strength of the Han army in that battle was far weaker than that of the Wei army, and the tactics adopted by Ma Chao were mainly based on defense.

blindly defended passively, and Ma Chao was very aggrieved in that war.

But today is different.

Today's Ma Chao only has a hearty feeling.

After today, presumably, the prestige of General Shenweitian will soon spread all over the world again.

It can be said that half of Ma Chao's long-cherished wish has been completed, and whether the remaining half can be completed depends on whether he can win Tongguan.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help urging Ma Dai next to him:

"Hurry up and give me the medicine.

After the arrival of the follow-up army, while the morale of our army is high, I will personally lead the army to attack the city! ”

After hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Dai immediately had the idea of dissuasion.

When Ma Chao entered the account in the afternoon, the whole person was almost unstable.

This shows that Ma Chao's injury has reached a very serious point.

If he goes to do the first thing again, Ma Dai is really worried about whether Ma Chao will be able to see the day when Tongguan is recovered.

But before Ma Dai could say anything to dissuade him, the voice of the guards outside the tent came in:

"General, there are thieves asking to see you!"

The guard's voice not only made Ma Dai unsuccessful in dissuading him, but also made Ma Chaodeng sit up from the couch.

It was so late, and Wei Jun came out of Tongguan to ask for a meeting, which made Ma Chao have to be cautious.

After pondering for a moment, Ma Chao motioned for Ma Dai to dress him with his eyes, and at the same time responded loudly to the guards outside the tent:

"Hang him for a while!"

After saying this, Ma Chao hurriedly got up and got dressed under Ma Dai's service.

After all, the fact that he was injured must not be known by Wei Jun.

After putting on his clothes and realizing that outsiders could not see anything abnormal, Ma Chao walked towards the outer tent.

It's just that after coming to the outer tent, Ma Chao did not summon the Wei army for the first time, he commanded Ma Dai:

"Go and get Boyo here."

Ma Chao has been liking Jiang Wei more and more recently.

If Jiang Wei hadn't made a timely judgment before, he might not have been able to kill Xu Chu today.

After hearing Ma Chao's command, Ma Dai walked out.

After Ma Dai left the tent, Ma Chao asked his guards to bring in the Wei army who had come to visit late at night.

The Wei army trembled and followed behind the guards and entered the big tent.

The temperature emitted by the stove in the big tent made Wei Jun's body feel warm, which was almost paralyzed by the cold.

But the warmth of his body did not warm the heart of this secret envoy of the Wei army.

After seeing Ma Chao sitting on the main seat, the secret envoy of Wei Jun knelt directly in front of Ma Chao due to the fear in his heart.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't have wanted to see Ma Chao tonight.

The frightened actions of the Wei army's secret envoy made Ma Chao let out a sneer with disdain.

After sneering, Ma Chao did not anxiously ask about the intention of the secret envoy of the Wei army.

Ma Chao's silence made Wei Junmi's body tremble even more.

He didn't know that Ma Chao was waiting for Jiang Wei, and he thought that Ma Chao was thinking about where he would be able to drink!

It was only after the body of the secret envoy of the Wei army trembled for a while that Jiang Wei finally came to the tent under the leadership of Ma Dai.

Seeing Jiang Wei coming, the cold color on Ma Chao's face instantly dissipated.

Ma Chao said kindly to Jiang Wei: "Sit down and listen carefully." ”

After saying this, Ma Chao looked at the secret envoy of the Wei army:

"Who are you sent?

Why did you come late at night? ”

Ma Chao's cold voice sounded in the big tent, and with Ma Chao's voice, Jiang Wei also looked at the secret envoy of the Wei army who was kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that Ma Chao finally asked him, the secret envoy of the Wei army, who felt that he would not be eaten, hurriedly told him his intention to come tonight like garlic.

When Ma Chao listened to other content, there was no discoloration on his face.

After all, he already had a similar guess in his mind just now.

But after hearing that tonight's events were dominated by Zhu Ling, Ma Chao's face was moved.

Zhu Ling, Ma Chao knows.

During the Battle of Weinan that year, Xu Huang and Zhu Lingzeng led their troops to cross the Yellow River together, thus breaking the scorching situation of the war in one fell swoop.

I have to say that Zhu Ling is a very talented general.

It was precisely because he felt that Zhu Ling was different from ordinary people that Ma Chao began to be surprised, with Zhu Ling's status in Cao Wei, why did he do such a thing?

When the doubts in his heart were asked, Ma Chao quickly got the answer he wanted.

Seeing that Zhu Ling was persecuted by Cao Wei to this point, at least on the surface, Zhu Ling's move to surrender was quite reasonable.

Is this just a matter of being credible?

Ma Chao was tricked by Cao Wei's tricks.

Ma Chao's eyes gradually became cold when he looked at the secret envoy of the Wei army, in his opinion, after he recovered from his injuries, he might not be able to storm Tongguan.

There's really no need to believe in surrender anymore.

And Jiang Wei has been watching Ma Chao's expression after listening to the words of the secret envoy of the Wei army, and when he saw that there was a murderous intent in Ma Chao's eyes, he quickly stood up and said to Ma Chao:

"General, can you take a step to speak?"

Jiang Wei's request made Ma Chao look at him.

Jiang Wei's request, how could Ma Chao not agree?

Ma Chao got up and walked behind the screen with Jiang Wei.

After seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Wei said to Ma Chaojin:

"Zhu Ling's surrender, it's better to believe it last time."

Jiang Wei expressed his attitude clearly.

After hearing Jiang Wei's words, Ma Chao was quite surprised.

Jiang Wei has been by Mi Yang's side for a long time, and under this experience, shouldn't he believe in surrender more than himself?

After seeing Ma Chao's surprised gaze, Jiang Wei expressed his opinion:

"At present, the morale of our army is high, and if Tongguan is stormed, it may not be impossible to take it.

But does the general know why Tongguan is so urgent, but the general doesn't personally lead his troops to attack? ”

Jiang Wei's words made Ma Chao ponder.

In the past, he was only focused on Tongguan, but he never paid attention to this.

Not only did Mi Yang not plan to attack Tongguan in person, but he didn't even have a letter to inquire about the war recently.

Mi Yang seemed to be stumped by something.

Jiang Wei didn't let Ma Chao doubt for too long, and then he expressed his opinion:

"Recently, the general has been stepping up preparations for the relocation of the capital.

Not only the matter of moving the capital, but also many government affairs have recently been handled by the general.

Therefore, the general has never come to Tongguan in person. ”

After hearing Jiang Wei's revelations, Ma Chao immediately understood why Jiang Wei would let him choose to believe in Zhu Ling's surrender.

The reason is that after taking Chang'an, the focus of the Han Dynasty is slowly shifting to politics.

Chang'an's political significance to the Han Dynasty is too great to be regarded as an ordinary big city.

After taking Chang'an, in order to show legitimacy to the world, the Han Dynasty will definitely appropriately suspend the pace of foreign attacks, so as to shift the focus to politics.

For example, the relocation of the capital to Chang'an.

The Han Dynasty, whose capital is Chengdu, and the Han Dynasty, whose capital is Chang'an, have different status in the hearts of the world.

Before, Ma Chao thought that Mi Yang no longer had a new battle plan, mainly because the Han army had been fighting for a long time and was already sleepy and lacking horses.

But the above can only be regarded as part of the reason.

After knowing the focus of Mi Yang at the moment, Zhu Ling's surrender will naturally be taken on a special political significance.

You must know that before this, the Wei army had never taken the initiative to surrender to the Han!

If this example could appear for the first time in his hands, it would be of great benefit to the Han in demonstrating his legitimacy to the world.

A Tongguan is very important, but compared to re-establishing the legitimacy of the Han Dynasty in the hearts of the world, the importance is still insufficient.

Today's Han already has the capital to make people look down on the wind and go against the odds.

This is destiny!

Today's chapter, everyone.
