The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 222 Conversation
Seeing this, Ma Di was overjoyed, he didn't expect things to be so simple.

However, before he could smile, he saw that the soldier who got up to open the city gate was pulled down by another soldier.

Then, there was a murmur from above, and the horse flute couldn't hear what they were saying.

At this time, another shout came from above, "How do you prove that you are soldiers of our grain army?"

"Yes, how to prove it?"

With the sound of Ma Di, it is easy to tell that the first voice is not the soldier who talked to him at the beginning, but the second sentence is.

"Brother, do you need to prove this? Except for the Yan Army in Dongwuyang, there is no Yan Army in the north of Yangping. And the Yan Army in Dongwuyang is surrounded by our brothers. Do you think they can have wings?" Flying out of the city, come here?" Ma Di shouted loudly.

"That's right, you wait. I'll go down and open the door for you." The Liang army on the city wall was not used to it, or maybe they thought Ma Di would not do any harm to Yang Ping.

It was just a simple question, and seeing that Ma Di didn't answer any questions, he stopped interrogating, but walked down the city wall and opened the city gate to Ma Di.

When Ma Di saw the city gate opened, he was naturally overjoyed.But he didn't reveal his identity right away. Instead, he broke out suddenly when he entered the city gate and blocked the carriage.Kill the two grain army soldiers who opened the city gate.

Afterwards, the torch was lit to send a signal to Xue Zhongchang who was waiting in the distance.

After receiving the attack signal from the horse flute, Xue Zhongchang immediately launched an attack.And its swift action occupied the gate of Yangping, and then attacked the city.

With many generals on his own and few generals on the enemy side, and another surprise attack, Xue Zhongchang naturally had no possibility of failure, so on the first night of arriving in Yangping, Xue Zhongchang successfully took Yangping down without any effort.

After taking Yangping down, Xue Zhongchang didn't make too many changes to Yangping. Except that everyone was not allowed to go out, everything else was carried out according to what Liangjun had done before.

Even the military flag of the Liang Army is still planted on the Yangping City Wall.Even some common people don't know that Yangping has changed his master again.

Just like that, a few more days passed.That night, Xue Zhongchang had already rested.In the middle of the night, he was suddenly woken up by a servant, saying that it was General Ma Di who asked to see him.

Ma Di begged to see him in the middle of the night, naturally he had something important to report, so Xue Zhongchang did not neglect.After getting up from the bed, he simply put on a few warm clothes and summoned him to the room.

Ma Di walked into the room, bowed his hands to Xue Zhongchang and said, "I'm really ashamed to disturb the general in the middle of the night."

"It's okay, you want to see me now, but what's the matter?" Xue Zhongchang had just been woken up, his consciousness was still a little confused, and he didn't want to have a long conversation with Ma Di at this time, so he asked directly.

"Of course there is something urgent. Otherwise, Di Wan wouldn't dare to disturb the general late at night. Just now, a raging fire burst out from the direction of Dongwuyang, illuminating the north side like daytime."

"It should be that the general and the main force of the grain army started a war, but I don't know who started the fire, so I came to ask the general for instructions, what should we do, should we rush to support the general?"

When Ma Di said that there was a raging fire in the direction of Dongwuyang, Xue Zhongchang lost his sleepiness in an instant.After Ma Di finished speaking, Xue Zhongchang asked Ma Di while putting on his clothes: "Have any of the spies sent to Dongwuyang to inquire about the news come back?"

"He didn't come back, so we don't know the specific situation." Ma Di shook his head and said.

In order to be able to understand what happened in Dongwuyang faster, he sent dozens of people to the surroundings of Dongwuyang to pay attention to the fighting situation between the two armies on the second day after Yangping was captured.In order to prevent such emergencies from happening, he can get news faster.

Xue Zhongchang nodded, did not reply, put on his clothes and armor, and then walked out of the room with a flute, ordered his servants to lead out the horses, and rushed to the north gate.

After arriving at the north city gate, Xue Zhongchang stood on the city wall and looked at the red sky in the distance, as if a fiery red sun was about to rise.

Xue Zhongchang looked into the distance and was silent, thought for a while, and then said to the horse flute: "It doesn't matter if it's the fire over there, you go and gather the soldiers first, and come to the north gate to wait for the spies' news. "

"Obey." Ma Di bowed his hands and accepted the order, then turned and left.However, soon, he came back again.

Of course, he didn't need to go in person for things like calling soldiers.He is just a general who has been handed over to his subordinates by the general's order.

Ma Di walked to the edge of the city wall, looked at Xue Zhongchang, and asked: "General, who do you think set the fire?"

"Actually, who set the fire is not very important to us. If the fire was set by the Liang Army, then Dongwuyang has already been captured by the Liang Army at this time, then Yangping will be in a crisis next time." This is a very dangerous situation. It means that we will face the main force of the grain army. Therefore, the generals need to be ready to fight at all times."

"If the fire was set by the general, it means that the Liang army was defeated. Soon, the defeated army of the Liang army will rush to Yangping. So no matter which side the fire burns, we will soon have a battle."

"Then if the fire was set by the Liang army, Dongwuyang was breached by the Liang army. Isn't the general in a very dangerous situation. Shouldn't we send troops to support it?"

"The general still has tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. Even if Tobu Yang City is broken, there is no problem in escorting the general to escape. What we have to do is to hold Yangping well before the arrival of the general, and wait until the grain army When we came back, the Liang army was caught off guard, otherwise, compared with the Liang army, our chances of winning are too low."

"So, what we have to do now is to stop with silence. If we send troops to support the general, if we don't say we can't find the general, it will make the Liang army vigilant." Xue Zhongchang explained.

Ma Di nodded, thinking that what Xue Zhongchang said made sense, but he was still a little worried.

"General, if we don't send troops to rescue the general, will we blame the general after the general returns?"

Xue Zhongchang frowned slightly, then shook his head and said: "No, with the general's intelligence, we can definitely see the relationship. If Dongwuyang is really defeated by the Liang army, whether it is against the general or For us, the best way is to hold on to Yangping."

"The general can understand the relationship, but we have to guard against whether there will be villains who will speak ill of the general in front of the general?
