All the plans were perfect, and the defeat was due to the small details. First of all, they killed Han Sui but kept Han Sui's daughter and became a princess; secondly, they took away Yan Xing's military power, but did not deal with Yan Xing.
Cheng Yin and others, who seemed to be in harmony with each other but were separated from each other, took action; third, Yan Xing took advantage of the lust, but did not expect to be so lustful; fourth, Cheng Yin and others attacked the palace but did not want to stand on their own; fifth, although he had Yan Xing's talisman,
But he didn't gain the trust of the soldiers. Generally speaking, he was a little impatient, but Long Fei's army arrived in an instant, and he had no time to repair these loopholes.
Sima Yi fell short. Under the protection of Hei Bing, he rushed out of the soldiers and ran away! Cheng Yin and others held a banquet in the palace that night to celebrate their return to the core of Xiliang. However, Xiliang
Liang cannot be without a master for a day. Yan Xing is dead, Han Sui's son is young, and the Han family is a female generation. There is no decent lord in Xiliang.
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. First of all, Liang Xing stood up and said, "I now have 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is the most among all of us. If you don't mind, how about I become the King of Xiliang?"
"
Everyone sneered and said nothing. Zhang Heng rolled his eyes: "Just you? Can you beat Long Fei? Or can you beat us?"
Liang Xingdao: "You look down on me? Believe it or not, I will gather people right now to destroy you!"
"Pah!" Cheng Yin slapped a few cases with his palm: "In front of a powerful enemy, you are actually fighting in a nest. If you have the ability to go to Jincheng to stop Long Fei!" It's not that Cheng Yin has high prestige, but that there is one among these eight generals.
According to the unwritten rules, in terms of ranking, the candidates used to be at the top, but now it is Cheng Yin. Then Cheng Yin has the fewest troops and cannot compete with anyone. But he also has the desire to compete for the throne.
Ma Wan said: "Everyone, I have a good idea! You see, there are eight counties around Wuwei City, five of which are the main routes to the west. Five of us and I will draw lots to decide. No one will defend one place. As long as
If he can stop Long Fei's attack, how about electing him as the King of Xiliang?"
Li Kan thought for a while: "Long Fei's soldiers and horses are brave. We had no chance of winning in the first place. Now it may not be appropriate to divide our troops!"
Liang Xing sneered and said: "I think it's good. If you have the ability, you can stop Long Fei. If he is destroyed by others, it's because he has no ability. Why should he be the King of Xiliang if he doesn't have the ability? Anyone who quits should raise his hand now!"
Several people had their own evil intentions, they were all afraid but they all wanted to be the king of Xiliang. No one raised their hands, so Ma Wan found a piece of paper, tore it into five pieces, and wrote Gulang, Minqin, Tianzhu, Longyou, Jincheng, respectively.
He balled it up and threw it into the pen holder, shook it twice vigorously, put it on several desks, and motioned for everyone to take action. But no one moved, and Ma playfully said: "It's all the same, maybe it will be worse later on, I'll do it first
Come!" He reached out and grabbed one and stood aside.
The second one was Cheng Yin. He hesitated, gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed one, and held it tightly in his hand. Li Kan and Zhang Heng also grabbed one. Liang Xing was the last one. Looking at the only one inside, Liang
When Xing Zhang saw it, it turned out to be Longyou, and he began to murmur in his heart. Both Longyou and Jincheng are strategic points, and they are places that Long Fei must attack. Although it is better than Jincheng, it is also a dead place.
After scanning the crowd, Liang Xing approached Ma Wan and said, "Brother, how about we switch? When I become the king of Xiliang, how about I make you a general?"
Ma Wan smiled and said: "I didn't even look at it. Yours is already Longyou. Calculating it this way, I still have a 60% chance that it is a good place. I'm afraid this general is not enough to trade with me!"
"Tell me, what do you want? As long as I have it, I'll give it to you!"
Ma Wan looked at the sword in Liang Xing's waist and said, "Let's do it! Give me your ancestral sword, give me ten bloody horses, and add a thousand gold pieces to it."
"You!" Liang Xing was about to curse, but after thinking about it, he endured it and gritted his teeth: "Forget it! Change it!" He quickly took off his sword, put it in front of Ma Wan, and reached out for the paper lot in Ma Wan's hand. Ma Wan hurriedly
He turned away, looked at Liang Xing and said: "General Liang, we have agreed that I may have Jincheng in my hand. If it is Jincheng after the exchange, do you want it back?"
Liang Xing was stunned, yes! It's not impossible. If it was really Jincheng, wouldn't he have suffered a big loss? Looking at the horse playing, Liang Xing began to hesitate again. The other three people looked at these two people and all remained silent.
The paper lot was drawn by a group, and no one knew what the others were getting, except for Liang Xing's Longyou. The people who took it from the other three counties would naturally not make any noise, and those who took Jincheng hoped that Liang Xing could exchange it with him.
After a long time, Liang Xing gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! No matter where it is, our transaction will count, so bring it!"
Ma Wan looked at Cheng Yin and others: "Everyone, please bear witness to me. No matter which city I hold, General Liang Xing owes me ten bloody horses and a thousand gold! If he violates the rules, the sky will strike with thunder.
!" He reached out and handed the paper ball in his hand to Liang Xing.
Liang Xing unfolded the paper ball with great expectation, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his whole body collapsed to the ground. The two neat words "Jincheng" completely pulled Liang Xing into the abyss of the cliff. Not only was Jincheng not as good as his Longyou,
He also equipped himself with the ancestral sword, ten bloody horses and a thousand gold.
Others also saw the word "Jincheng" and said nothing, but they gave people a feeling of gloating. Ma Wan said: "General Liang, when will our debt be paid off?"
"You're playing tricks on me!" Liang Xing reached out and touched his waist, but didn't touch anything. Then he remembered that the sword had been given to Ma Wan. Ma Wan choked and pulled out Liang Xing's ancestral sword: "You're playing tricks on you again.
How about it? The situation in Xiliang is over. We have already discussed it and are ready to surrender! But you still covet the King of Xiliang. In this case, you go to Jincheng to test Long Fei's strength!"
Seeing Ma playing with the sword in his hand, the cold blade pointed at his throat, Liang Xing took two steps back: "What do you want to do? I..."
"You have 30,000 soldiers and horses, right? Haha!" Ma Wan smiled: "We have a total of 60,000 soldiers and horses. To tell you the truth, your soldiers are now surrounded by us. As long as you dare to do anything,
Any other ideas will make you lose everything immediately! Tell me, are you still prepared to go against us?"
Liang Xing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, since the generals have made the decision, we are all brothers, so naturally we have to advance and retreat together. Everything is up to you!"
Cheng Yin chuckled: "Okay! In that case, General Ma, you should set off for Tianshui immediately, General Ma Chao! We are ready here, and we hope Long Fei can take us in."
Ma Chao was very likely to kill Wu Wei immediately, but Long Fei strictly ordered that all soldiers and horses should not move until they found out who Yan Xing's subordinate was. When Long Fei came with news, Wu Wei also came with news. Cheng Yin and others
He actually wanted to surrender, which made Ma Chao, who was preparing for a big fight, suddenly feel that he was unable to use his strength. Ma Dai and Pang De quickly persuaded Ma Chao, and then Ma Chao suppressed his anger and agreed to talk to representatives of Cheng Yin and others.
.
Although Ma Wan also has the surname Ma, he has nothing to do with Ma Chao. When he met Ma Chao, Ma Wan was very polite and said that several of his people wanted to surrender. Ma Chao laughed: "Hahaha, you guys are all
You are just a loser. He first turned against Yan Xing, and now that Yan Xing is dying, he wants to take refuge with us again. Do you think the King of Chu will take you in if you are such a repetitive villain?"
Ma Wan chuckled: "The general is wrong, we are not surrendering to the King of Chu, but to the general!"
These words made Ma Chao's laughter stop suddenly. Ma Dai immediately yelled: "Asshole! We are the generals of the King of Chu. Without the order of the King of Chu, you are still rebels!"
Ma joked: "This Xiliang originally belonged to the general, but was robbed by Han Sui. Now that Han Sui is dead, the general led the tiger and wolf troops to pacify Xiliang. Under the leadership of the general, we still have a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, so
How can we not be able to defend Xiliang with our battle array? Xiliang is Xiliang to us Xiliang people. As long as the general raises his arms, the whole world will welcome him. Being the king of Xiliang is much better than being a general, right?"
Ma Chao seemed to be persuaded by Ma Wan and looked at Ma Wan without saying a word. Ma Dai was particularly anxious. This was a critical moment. Long Fei trusted Ma Chao and asked Ma Chao to lead his troops to attack Xiliang. If Ma Chao occupied Xiliang and established himself as king, Long Fei would
His temper will never give up. It goes without saying that the Dragon Army is compared with the Xiliang soldiers. If they are defeated again, no one knows what will happen to the Ma family and the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiliang.
Ma Wan continued: "The leaderless army in Xiliang allowed Long Fei to take advantage. If the general is willing to lead us Xiliang people to defend Xiliang, we will swear our loyalty to the death."
"Shut up! Come on! Take this man down!" Ma Dai couldn't stand it anymore and immediately ordered someone to take Ma Wan away. Seeing Ma Chao's hesitation, Ma Dai understood that Ma Chao was tempted. As the saying goes
, I would rather have a head than a phoenix tail. If this matter turns out to be a prince, Ma Chao will naturally hope to achieve great achievements.
"Brother! You must not make the wrong move!" Ma Dai knelt down and said, "Who is Long Fei? Cao Cao rules the six states, and has many talents and millions of troops under his command. They are all played by Long Fei in the palm of his hand. Xiliang
It's a dead land, and the people have been suffering from continuous wars for twenty years. If the elder brother listens to Ma Wan's words, he will be on the road of no return!"
Pang De also said: "This matter is of great importance. The general must think twice. If the general insists on his own way, not only a few of us will die, but tens of thousands of soldiers and people will be buried with him. There is also a young general who has just been born. Is it possible that the general will die?"
Don’t you think about him?”
Children are always a weapon used to impress people. Pang De's words hit the nail on the head and pulled Ma Chao back, who was about to go into darkness. Ma Chao took a long breath and smiled faintly: "Get up, you two! You are right.
, you can’t harm the entire people of Xiliang for your own selfish desires, come on! Escort that Ma Wan to Chang’an and hand it over to the King of Chu, and gather the troops and horses to prepare to attack Liangzhou!”
