The atmosphere in the hall was depressing and deadly silent.

"Report!" A shout suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

Han Sui, who was engrossed in looking at the map, heard this, but suddenly his eyes widened, and his cloudy eyes were full of light. He quickly turned, his hands behind his back. Cheng Gongying also turned to the main entrance of the hall; The generals also moved, turning their heads to look out the door.

Han Sui was a little dizzy and had to squint his eyes to look out the door. Finally, he saw a vague figure, running briskly towards the main hall gate. When the figure ran closer, Han Sui finally saw that the figure was a scout.

The scout ran into the hall and saw that all the adults in the hall were staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened. Han Sui said coldly, "What's the matter? ”

The scout looked up from the bottom and saw Han Sui's face with black lines, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva, so frightened that he didn't know what to say.

Yan Xing shouted violently: "Don't say it quickly! ”

The scout trembled with fright, and stammered, "My lord, ...... again."

"How?" Li Xiangru also scolded dissatisfied.

"Again... Defeated again! The scout was terrified.

Han Sui's eyes narrowed again, and the dark bags on his face trembled slightly.

When Cheng Gongying and the others heard this, they glanced at Han Sui nervously. He asked the scout again: "In detail, how can Ma Chao win?" ”

"Yes. The strange soldiers of our army originally strictly followed the orders of the lord and cautiously avoided the direction of Ma Chao's march. However, when the army marched to the territory of Wangxian County, he unfortunately ran into three scouts sent by Ma Chao's department. ”

Yang Qiu said: "Didn't you avoid Ma Chao's department?" How did you run into his scouts again? ”

Scout said, "That's how it was. But after the last group went to intercept Ma Chao's troops, and was easily defeated by Ma Chao, hundreds of people fled north. Ma Chao liked to make a forced landing, so he sent troops to chase after him. Only then did the 8,000 cavalry sent by our army reveal their whereabouts. ”

When Han Sui heard this, it turned out that the reason for his failure was so accidental, he closed his eyes and pursed his lips with hatred.

The scout said: "Although our army shot two of the Ma Chaojun scouts, they also shot the last scout in the shoulder. But the wounded scout fled back to Ma Chao's army. ”

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said disdainfully: "It's just stupid!" To prevent the scouts from escaping, they should shoot their horses. Once the horse is dead, how can the scouts escape? ”

The scout said, "That's what Changshi said. Ma Chao led the army to cover and kill our army, and when our army saw that its whereabouts were exposed, it was like a frightened bird; Ma Chao is also known as a prestige in our army. Therefore, as soon as Ma Chao led the troops to fight, our army collapsed without a fight, and thousands of horsemen fled. Ma Chao led the army to chase after him, intercepted our army at the junction of Liangzhou and Sanfu, and surrendered our army. ”

Han Sui finally opened his eyes at this time, and asked in a deep voice, "Did that Qu Shuai lead the crowd to surrender?" ”

The scout didn't dare to look at Han Sui's fierce eyes, lowered his head and said: "Back to the lord, Qu Shuai is unwilling to surrender, and Ma Chao is the head." After Qu Shuai's death, the whole army surrendered. ”

"Hmph, that's good." Han Sui sneered.

Although he died, he also saved the lives of his family, and he was a smart man. I just like smart people. Han Sui's eyes stared at everyone, and his tone was yin and yang. And all the people were as pale as earth.

Han Sui said with a smile: "Order: Give his family 1,000 gold, 10,000 grains, 100 silks, and 100 horses; Let his family inherit his tribes, and raise five hundred horsemen for me as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa."

Cheng Gongying said: "My lord, after this defeat, our army has been unable to prevent Jinma Chao from entering the territory of Liangzhou, endangering the safety of our army." ”

The kingdom was friendly with Han Sui and was also very prestigious in Liangzhou. Wang Guodao: "Wen Yue, give me 20,000 rides, I will definitely be able to drive Ma Chao back to Sanfu!" ”

Han Sui sat down slowly and said, "No." Marr has the courage of ten thousand people, and all the troops are willing to fight to the death. In addition, the horse has prestige among the people of Xizhou. Six volleys, in vain let the horse take nearly 20,000 horses from the old man, and achieved his fame. You are brave, but you are no match for horses. This time, he sent soldiers and horses to Ma Chao. ”

Wang Kingdom said anxiously, "What can I do then?" If you don't lead the troops to stop him, do you want to give Liangzhou to others? ”

Han Sui glanced at the impatient kingdom and did not speak; He turned his head to look at the strategist Cheng Gongying and asked, "Cheng Gongying, what do you think?" ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Now Ma Chao led his troops into Liangzhou, and his father Ma Teng has gone down to Gaoping. If his father and son join forces, they will have tens of thousands of victorious soldiers, which is extremely unfavorable to our army. Therefore, it is necessary to repel Ma Chao first, and then concentrate the main force to attack the weaker Ma Tengbu. And the horse is super brave, if I only attack with tens of thousands of horses, it will be a sheep into the mouth of the tiger. For today's plan, we can only use the 180,000 cavalry of the whole army to defeat Ma Chao. Our army has the advantage of being outnumbered, and Ma Chao only has more than 20,000 horses, how can he go further? ”

"But our army has besieged the city for ten days, and the men and horses are tired, and it will take several days to rest. It is not advisable to engage Ma Chao. Yan Xingdao.

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said, "Now only by exhausting the whole army can the horses be stopped outside Liangzhou." Otherwise, if Ma Chao enters Liangzhou, our army will lose the advantage of fighting at home. ”

Han Sui thought for a while and said, "Okay, just do what Cheng Gongying said!" Tomorrow... No! Immediately mobilize the whole army and crusade against Ma Chao! ”

"Yes!" Everyone said.

Cheng Gongying said: "Lord, the Street Spring Pavilion is a place where soldiers must fight, and there must be no loss." You can send a general to the vanguard and occupy the street pavilion first. ”

Wang Guo said: "I am willing to go!" ”

Han Sui looked at the kingdom and said, "I'm afraid you are not Ma Chao's opponent." ”

Wang Guo said unconvinced: "Wen Yue Xiu has underestimated me!" When my kingdom became famous in Xiliang, Ma Chao had not yet been born! As long as I stick to the street pavilion, I can firmly lock the gate of Liangzhou, and let thousands of troops fly by. Although Ma Chao is brave, how can he win? ”

Han Sui thought for a while and said, "Okay! You can go for 10,000 rides. ”

The kingdom smiled happily.

Han Sui said again: "But you must remember, you must stick to the help, and you must not go out of the camp to fight with Ma Chaoye." Otherwise, Ma Chao will surrender our army again, and it will be in vain. ”

Wang Kingdom patted his chest and said with a smile: "Wen Yue rest assured! Shall I not know such truths? ”

The kingdom said goodbye to Han Sui, and went to transfer troops with a smile.

Han Sui fell into deep thought again, not knowing what he was thinking. Yan Xing was Han Sui's closest general, and he came to Han Sui and asked, "Lord, the kingdom has already gone to transfer troops, and today we can build a camp under the street pavilion." As long as his camp is strong enough, Ma Chao can't move forward. Why is the lord still worried? ”

Han Sui rubbed his eyes and said in annoyance: "Although the kingdom is a famous person in my Xiliang, he is also quite knowledgeable and courageous. But it's far inferior to Ma Chao. ”

Yan Xingdao: "Ma Chao? It's just a brave man, and he shouldn't be an opponent of the kingdom. ”
