Ma Chaojun, who attacked the camp, had already run away, but Han Sui still stared at the direction of Ma Chaojun's retreat. Ma Chaojun came and went quickly, like a tide. When the tide goes out, there is always a lot of trash left on the beach. After Ma Chaojun retreated, it was left with Han Sui's army in disarray. The stove was poured into pieces, and the half-cooked food in it was also sprinkled all over the floor, and the air was filled with the aroma of food in addition to the smell of blood. It's a pity that Han Suijun can't take care of the wasted food, and the soldiers consciously carry the corpses in the middle of the operation, and dig a pit to bury the corpses behind the camp; Splash water and sand to clean up the blood stains all over the ground.

Cheng Gongying, Yan Xing and the others walked behind Han Sui and stayed quietly. Han Sui didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what he was still thinking about. Just when everyone thought that Han Sui would not speak again, Han Sui asked coldly: "How much did you lose in this battle?" ”

Yan Xing, Cheng Gongying and the others all looked at Cheng Yin and asked him to answer this question, after all, it was he who opposed Yan Xing's proposal in the first place.

"Four... Four thousand. Cheng Yin said humbly.

After listening to this, Han Sui did not answer immediately. Everyone looked at Han Sui's back, thinking that Han Sui was already furious, and they were very worried. Unexpectedly, Han Sui immediately replied calmly: "Well, it's okay." ”

Everyone was stunned, in the face of another fiasco, Han Sui could still say such a thing. Cheng Gongying said: "Lord? ”

Han Sui knew that his subordinates were more desperate than him, and he was terrified of Ma Chao, who had won the battle, but he was the commander of the three armies, and he must not show the timidity in his heart. As long as he is not afraid, his subordinates are not afraid, and the soldiers below are not afraid of the generals, so they will naturally not be afraid, so as to achieve the effect of restoring morale.

Therefore, Han Sui turned around and said lightly: "It's only four thousand er, and the old man still has 110,000 steps to ride." In addition, the soldiers from all over Liangzhou and Qiangzhong are being gathered, and they will soon come to serve in front of the old man's tent, and the old man can still gather 200,000 people who control the strings without much effort. With only 4,000 casualties, what is it for the old man? ”

Yan Xing quietly glanced at Han Sui, feeling extremely ridiculous in his heart. Yan Xing knew that Han Sui was a dead duck with a hard mouth, and if he was defeated, he would be defeated, so why should he pretend not to be distressed? Recalling Fang Cai's vacillation, Yan Xing didn't think so. Judging from Han Sui's attitude towards him, Yan Xing knew that perhaps Han Sui was not worthy of being his lord.

The generals were easily frightened by Han Sui's calmness, and they all said: "The lord really has the style of Zhou Yafu!" ”

Han Sui smiled again and said: "If you feel frightened and lose your fighting spirit for the loss of only 4,000 men and horses, then wouldn't Han Gaozu have to cry several times a day?" ”

"Hahaha!" The generals laughed, everyone knew that in front of the siege of Xiaxia, Liu Bang was more defeated than Xiang Yu.

Han Sui also laughed, thinking that ordinary people are simple-minded, and they are really easy to deceive.

Han Sui waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down and tidy up the camp, and tomorrow we will have a life-and-death battle with Ma Chao." As long as the old man is still in the day, he will fight with Ma Chao for a day. ”

"Yes!" The generals roared and went down. Cheng Gongying watched the generals walk away from him one by one, and he slowly walked to Han Sui's side, and looked at the backs of the generals in the distance with Han Sui.

Han Sui smiled and said, "Bo Ying, do you know why the old man can always hold this army firmly in his hands? ”

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said, "My subordinates are just the lord's advisers, and they are not in the position of the lord, how can I understand the way to control the army?" ”

Han Sui still stared at the backs of the generals who walked out of the big tent, he stretched out his hand to flex his cuffs, stroked his goatee, and said confidently: "It's actually very simple!" As long as the old man controls these generals, and then let the lieutenant general manage the captain, the lieutenant in charge of the military marquis, the military marquis in charge of the centurion, the centurion in charge of the tun chief, the tun chief in charge of the ten commanders, the ten captains in charge of the five commanders, and the five commanders in charge of the pawns, the entire army can naturally be commanded like an arm. ”

"Subordinates understood."

Han Sui still smiled and said, "If the generals are in charge, the old man doesn't have to do anything." Fortunately, all the generals are mediocre, and the old man only needs a few words, which is enough to make them willingly work for the old man! ”

Cheng Gongying said: "My lord, General Yan Xing is not a mediocre talent, his general's talent, except for Ma Chao in the land of Xiliang, is comparable to Pang De and Ma Dai, and he is a rare good general." Just now, Duan Xuan and Zhang Xiu rushed in, if it wasn't for Yan Xing leading the army to intercept it, our army would be suspended. The lord should be more kind to him. ”

Han Sui nodded and said, "This is naturally known." However, Yan Xing is still the old man's general after all, and it was the old man who promoted him from the army to the present. It is expected that he will never betray the old man. ”

Cheng Gongying remembered that when Ma Chaojun came in to sneak attack just now, Yan Xing was nowhere to be seen, who knows if Yan Xing deliberately hid and couldn't come out? He raised his vigilance and said, "Not necessarily." The lord forgot that people always change. ”

Han Sui pondered for a long time and said, "Well, you're right. Later, he will be given 500,000 yuan, and three young women will be sent to serve him. ”

Cheng Gongying thought that this was already excellent treatment, so he didn't say anything more.

Han Sui sat down and said, "Didn't Bo Ying say that there is any clever plan to defeat Ma Chao?" ”

Cheng Gongying said: "Exactly. The subordinate plan is a plan to avoid the real and attack the false. ”

Han Sui became interested and said, "What do you mean by this? ”

"Now Ma Chao has defeated our army in fifteen or sixteen battles in a row, and the battle will be won, the edge is exposed, and the army's morale is greatly boosted. Ma Chao has the courage of ten thousand people, has the strategy of winning a thousand miles, and there are good generals such as Pang De, Ma Dai, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, etc., which cannot be competed with. Cheng Gongying wandered back and forth in the tent with his hands in his hands, and talked eloquently.

Han Sui nodded thoughtfully, thinking that since this month, he had suffered enough from Ma Chao.

And the lord's rival is not only Ma Chao, but also Ma Teng, the father of Ma Chao. According to the report of the spies, Ma Teng wantonly collected the remnants of the good families of the six counties in Anding County, and his power was also thriving, not losing to Ma Chao. Compared with Ma Chao, Ma Teng's wisdom is far inferior, his bravery is far inferior, and his soldiers and horses are far less than Ma Chao's army, which is more suitable for the opponent of the lord. ”

Han Sui understood that Cheng Gongying was going to attack Ma Teng. Cheng Gongying said: "The spies reported that Ma Teng is now stationed in Ayang City and will soon join Ma Chao. Once the Fufeng Ma clan joins forces in one place, it will be extremely unfavorable to the lord. Therefore, it is necessary to attack and defeat Ma Teng before their father and son join forces, so as to ensure that the lord is invincible and cut off one of Ma Chao's arms. ”
