Seeing that Cheng Gongying left for no reason without saying hello, and ran in the direction of Ma Chao, Han Sui was taken aback, and instinctively thought that Cheng Gongying was sure to lose him, so he had to change the court. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Liangzhou, where wars are frequent, and there is no such thing as loyalty in Liangzhou. If it existed, how could Han Sui launch a mutiny overnight and kill his old master, Beigong Boyu? Han Sui knew this very well, and immediately called in a few sharpshooters, drew his bow and arrows, and aimed them at Cheng Gongying's back.

When the arrow was on the string, Han Sui suddenly hesitated again, thinking that Cheng Gongying had always been loyal to him and would never abandon him at this time, so he ordered the archer to put down the bow and arrow and see what Cheng Gongying was going to do.

To be honest, Ma Chao doesn't know what Cheng Gongying wants to do. He saw that a horse actually ran towards him, and saw that the person was the scribe beside Han Sui, and he was suspicious. The scribe looked calm, ran to Ma Chao and stopped at the horse, but he was not afraid when he saw Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was very suspicious and ordered the soldiers and horses to stop. Ma Chao looked at the scribe, he was not afraid. Ma Chao said: "Who is under the feet?" Why do you want to ride alone? ”

Cheng Gongying saluted on his horse and said, "Meet the general, I am a strategist under the account of the generals, and my surname is Cheng Gong's name Yingzi Boying." ”

Ma Chao immediately became interested, he had long known that Han Sui had a strategist named Cheng Gongying, who was extremely loyal to Han Sui in history, and Han Sui did not accept Cao Cao's solicitation after being destroyed by Cao Cao; He also assisted Zhang to defend Liangzhou, and defeated Lu Shui, Hu Yijian, concubine and Zhiyuan I, who invaded Liangzhou. I didn't want to meet such a wonderful person in this special situation today.

Ma Chao saw that the rebels behind Cheng Gongying were still in a panic, and he was not in a hurry, and said: "I am about to take the opportunity to put down the rebels, what do you want to do?" ”

Pang De scolded: "Do you want to rely on the power of one person to stop my tiger master?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled indifferently and said, "I have no power to restrain the chicken, how dare I?" ”

"In that case, get out of the way, or I'll be the first to cut you off!"

Ma Chao was silent, and Cheng Gongying said: "I'm here to save the general!" Cheng Gongying pointed at Ma Chao.

Ma Chao became interested, and he knew that these ancient lobbyists liked to be alarmist first when they were persuading. Ma Chao smiled: "Why did you say this? I have defeated Han Sui's old thief many times, and I must be able to see my feet in the captives after a while. What can I save? ”

Han Sui at this end saw that Cheng Gongying was talking to Ma Chao, Ma Chao's ministry stopped, and he understood that Cheng Gongying was confusing Ma Chao, dragging Ma Chao, and buying time for him to rectify the army. So he hurriedly asked the soldiers to speed up and enter the camp and repair the camp.

Ma Chao didn't know this yet. Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Is the general going to kill my lord Han Sui?" ”

Ma Chao said disdainfully: "Then what's not? ”

"Hahahaha! The sooner my lord dies, the sooner the general will die; As soon as my lord dies, the general's death is not far off. Cheng Gongying said with a smile.

Ma Chao smiled: "Your heart is sick. "Sick heart means neurotic. After this whole day of fierce battles, Ma Chao is now getting closer and closer to the goal of completely defeating Han Sui. As long as Han Sui is eliminated, Ma Chao has reached the first step of the strategy: to eliminate Han Sui and occupy a certain territory. When the time comes, Liangzhou, without Han Sui, will be subjugated under his iron hooves. Relying on his identity and appeal, Xiliang must be in his pocket. And now, Cheng Gongying persuaded him not to kill Han Sui, and Ma Chao naturally felt funny and angry.

Pang De also smiled and said: "You strategist is really ridiculous, Han Sui is close at hand, who will believe your nonsense?" ”

Cheng Gongying smiled: "Don't you believe it? ”

Ma Chao smiled and didn't answer, making it clear that he didn't believe it.

Cheng Gongying smiled and said: "At this time, my lord is still busy gathering soldiers and horses, can the general spare some time to listen to my shallow opinions?" ”

Ma Chao saw that Han Sui was really still integrating the trilogy, and his trilogy was still in a mess. So I put my mind at ease.

Duan Xuan glanced at Cheng Gongying vigilantly, knowing that this Cheng Gongying was Han Sui's right-hand man, and said to Ma Chao: "Lord, I think this Cheng Gongying wants to drag us so that Han Sui can hide in the camp." ”

"Yes, it's better to kill him directly after killing him, and care about him so much!" Pound said impatiently.

Cheng Gongying listened to the words of the two generals, and had no fear at all, and looked at Ma Chao's expression with a smile.

Ma Chao looked at Cheng Gongying's harmless smile, he couldn't see anything, and he couldn't guess whether he was delaying or really trying to persuade him. Seeing that most of Han Sui's troops were still outside the camp, he was a little relieved.

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay!" Tell me about it. ”

Cheng Gongying smiled: "General Xie." I see that the general is a young hero, with a strong soldier in his hand, brave and strategic, and full of heroic talent, and he must have other plans to march into this treacherous and dangerous Xiliang land. In other words, the general didn't come for the court and the Han family, right? ”

Ma Chao's heart chuckled, this Cheng Gongying was really in one sentence, and he guessed his true purpose. Ma Chao thought for a long time and said, "My world is blessed by the country..."

But before the words could be spoken, Cheng Gongying boldly interrupted: "The general should say these words to others!" The general's intentions, I can see it really! ”

Ma Chao was surprised, he knew that he couldn't hide this Cheng Gongying, and said, "How do you know?" ”

Cheng Gongying said with a smile: "Ling Zun is only a military Sima, and the general has no official military position. How can there be a military Sima with tens of thousands of troops in the world, and how can there be a young man who is in charge of the army alone? ”

Ma Chao understood. Cheng Gongying said again: "Our army is all traitors, but the general should take it for his own use; The generals under him are also commensurate with the lord, what is this not secretly resentful? ”

"It's true." Ma Chao said, "But even if I know my intentions, I can't save Han Sui." ”

"If you kill Han Sui, the court will kill the general!" Cheng Gongying changed his face and reprimanded.

Ma Chao was shocked by his change of color, and even more shocked by his words, and said, "Why do you say this?" ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Hmph! The general and Ling Zun supported the soldiers with self-respect, and the military Sima of the district had two counties in his hands, with tens of thousands of soldiers. If the court doesn't suspect it, isn't it that the court is full of people with bad hearts? Moreover, the unique background of the general's family is very appealing in the land of Xiliang, doesn't the imperial court know it? ”

Ma Chao agrees with this very much, he took this into account when he raised the army, but there is no turning back if he does this kind of thing, and Ma Chao can only hope that the court is afraid that Ma and Han Sui will merge.

Cheng Gongying said again: "Right now, it is my lord and general who are fighting for Liangzhou. Whoever wins, who is the overlord of Xiliang. The imperial court must know this, and the general, who is wise, must also know. ”
