Xu Shang hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, knocked Ma Yan out of the ambush, did not listen to Xu Huang's persuasion, and said about the camp alone.

All the generals also persuaded hard, and Cao Hong ordered someone to escort Xu Huang back, in fact, he didn't dare to behead Xu Huang without authorization, but his anger had nowhere to vent, and his face was so angry that his face turned pale.

He walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back before asking, "Ma Yan is in ambush, why don't you go to the rescue?" ”

Xu Huang said helplessly: "Liu Qi had already taken precautions, Zhang Fei came out of the camp again, the morale of the soldiers was low, and they had no intention of fighting, so they had to retreat." ”

Zhang Yi felt a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and pointed at Xu Huang and shouted: "Ma Yan saved you, but you watched him die, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Cao Hong snorted coldly and said: "Liu Qi won a big victory, I must think that I dare not enter the army, and you will go to rob the camp again tonight and atone for your sins, how about it?" ”

Xu Huang was shocked: "The general succeeded in robbing the camp last time, the enemy army must be prepared, if you go again, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"Xu Gongming, Fei Fei is so important to you!" Cao Hong interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "It was the last time I robbed the camp, Liu Qi must have thought that I didn't dare to go again, and if I did the opposite, I would definitely be able to kill him by surprise." This revenge will not be avenged, so how I will command the army in the future, I will go with you. ”

Xu Huang also felt guilty about Ma Yan's matter, so he accepted it and decided that even if he died on the battlefield tonight, he would never retreat half a step.

In the Peach Blossom Station camp, Ma Yan was escorted to the Chinese military tent, and Liu Qi asked with a smile: "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Ma Yan nodded and said: "In the past, my lord was forced by Cao Jun, cornered, and had no choice but to surrender, I am willing to follow the general to eradicate the traitors and avenge the lord." ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed, personally untied Ma Yan, ordered someone to watch the wine suppress the shock, and asked Cao Jun for information, and Ma Yanju told him truthfully.

At this time, he hoped that Cao Hong would return defeated, or even die on the battlefield, so that he would be more wise to surrender to the enemy.

"Eldest son, Xu Huang left ...... on the road"

As he was talking, Zhang Fei broke into the tent, saw Ma Yan present, covered his mouth suddenly, and his eyes were as bright as copper bells.

Ma Yan was shocked, Zhang Fei just went to chase and kill Xu Huang and returned to the camp to resume his life, could it be that they secretly communicated the news?

Liu Qi's face changed slightly, and he turned to a smile: "Yide doesn't need to panic, General Ma has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light to help me get rid of the Cao thief and avenge the Yuan family." ”

Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, wanted to say something but held back, and quit the account first.

Ma Yan looked at Liu Qi in disbelief: "In this way, General Xu is ...... He's already been? ”

Although he desperately wanted Xu Huang to join the enemy, he also knew that this possibility was extremely low, even if Zhang Fei said it just now, he still couldn't believe it.

Liu Qi raised his glass and smiled: "The general is already his own person, so there is no need to hide it, General Xu is also his own person." ”

"This ......" Ma Yan was dumbfounded.

Liu Qi said with a smile: "I don't know if the general still remembers that Cao Jun took Nanyang, and Xu Huang once led his troops to chase the enemy in Bowangpo, and was ambushed and defeated by Guan Yu?" ”

"I remember!" Ma Yan nodded and said: "At that time, the general retreated to Bowang City, leaving Zhang Fei to defend the city, and after the city was broken, Prime Minister Cao Cheng ...... No, Cao Thief ordered us to surround the city and divide the troops to chase after him, and it was Xu Huang who led the troops. In Xia and Cao Hong guarded the west gate of Bowang City, unexpectedly Xu Huang was defeated, Guan Yu killed back to respond, Zhang Fei killed from the city, Cao Xiu couldn't resist at the south gate, so he let the two escape. ”

Liu Qi said angrily: "In fact, Xu Huang was captured by Guan Yunchang and persuaded to surrender at that time, only because his family members were in Xuchang, he was afraid of being killed by Cao thieves, and he wanted to rescue Zhang Fei, so he made a temporary plan to let Xu Huang stay in Cao Ying for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to make contributions." ”

"Shhhh Ma Yan gasped and said in amazement: "No wonder the war in Wuguan is so unsmooth......

It has been nearly a year since the Battle of Nanyang, and this Xu Huang has been lurking in Cao's camp for so long, if it weren't for Cao Hong's troops, wouldn't he give Chang'an away?

Liu Qi smiled proudly: "The general doesn't need to be surprised, if Xu Huang doesn't lose at Wuguan, how can he ask Cao Hong to send troops?" In less than a month, a certain will kill Cao Hong and step into Chang'an! ”

Ma Yan was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Liu Qi had such a strategy, leaving Xu Huang to seek Chang'an, this line was long enough.

Shocked, he admired Liu Qi more and more, got up and hugged his fists and said: "The general is really clever to the sky, the defenders of Chang'an today are less than 5,000, and the available soldiers are only 3,000. ”

Liu Qi nodded and smiled: "The general is familiar with the situation in Chang'an, and he will definitely rely on you at that time." ”

Ma Yan was overjoyed, Liu Qi asked him to go down to rest first, and take those prisoners back to Wuguan early tomorrow morning to listen to the order.

As soon as it was dark, Liu Qi suddenly ordered a banquet to celebrate his success, invited Ma Yan to come, and saw that Pang Tong, Zhang Fei, Fu Wei and others were there.

Ma Yan was puzzled: "The war is tight, when the three armies are restrained to strictly abide by military discipline, and then celebrate the achievements after breaking through Chang'an, why is the general so slack?" It is necessary to know that the arrogant army will be defeated. ”

He has personally experienced this point in Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's army, and now Cao Hong also has this sign, so he naturally feels the deepest.

Liu Qi laughed and said: "Look, everyone, I will say that General Ma is loyal, and it is by no means perfunctory, please take a seat." ”

Ma Yan sat under Fu Wei's head, watching everyone laugh, and became more and more puzzled.

Pang Tong tugged at his beard and looked Ma Yan up and down, and said with a smile: "Just now I still doubted the general's sincerity, but when I heard this, I really returned to my heart." ”

Ma Yan was suddenly displeased, and said angrily: "In the next piece of sincerity, the general actually came to test it, which is chilling. ”

Liu Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "The banquet celebration is not just for testing the general, it is just to take advantage of the situation, in fact, there is another purpose." ”

Ma Yan was stunned: "I don't know what the general means?" ”

Liu Qi said: "Just now Xu Huang secretly sent someone to report that Cao Hong was coming to rob the camp tonight, and this was for Cao Jun to take a closer look." ”

"Ah, this ......" Although he had already returned to Liu Qi, Ma Yan was still surprised when he heard the news, and immediately asked, "What about the last time the camp was robbed?" ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "Last time, we were already prepared, and we retreated overnight, and there were not many casualties, but it was just to lure the enemy deeper." ”

Ma Yan recalled that when Cao Hong robbed the camp, although he got some baggage weapons, after Zhang Fei broke off, he didn't kill many enemy soldiers, and couldn't help nodding again and again: "I don't know what the general's arrangements are this time?" ”

Liu Qi was confident, as if everything was under control, and waved his big hand forward: "This time it must be called Cao Hong's coming and going, tonight's employment, the general doesn't have to go back to Wuguan first." ”

Ma Yan didn't expect that the opportunity for meritorious service would arrive so soon, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The last general will listen to the order." ”

Liu Qi looked at Pang Tong: "Just ask the military advisor to arrange people." ”

Pang Tong clenched his fists and commanded: "Yide obeys the order!" ”

"The last general!" Zhang Fei quickly drank the residual wine in the cup and got up to receive the order.

Pang Tongyan said: "There is a Crouching Tiger Gang ten miles away from Wuguan, and I ordered you to lead 5,000 troops to ambush here, if you see Cao Hong chasing after you, let go of the front part of it, and intercept it." ”

Zhang Fei took the order and left, and Pang Tong ordered Fu Wei and Ma Yan to guard the camp, wait for the Cao army to attack, pretend to resist for a while, then abandon the camp, retreat to Wohugang, and wait until the fire on the mountain, then turn back and kill back.

Pang Tong originally planned to let Liu Qi go first, but Liu Qi insisted on staying in the camp, advancing and retreating with the generals, luring the enemy in person, and letting Cao Hong chase with all his strength to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Ma Yan was also greatly infected, and he sighed in his heart, Liu Qi, a weak scholar, had such a spirit, no wonder the Jingzhou army worked together to beat Cao Jun to the head.

I thought that Yuan Shaozhan Gongsun and Cao Cao Shouguandu could come to the front to boost morale, but how did they change later?
