Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

As for the generals in Xiliang, because they were drunk last night, they are still sleeping soundly in their tents.

Near noon, Yi Tan rode into Dazhai on a Pegasus and went straight to the commander's tent.

But there was no one in the handsome account, and Tan Qi had to pass the news to Cheng Yin, who was in charge of intelligence.

The various departments in Xiliang have clearly defined jobs, some are in charge of setting up camps, some are in charge of investigating news, and some are in charge of food and grass, etc.

Cheng Yin was awakened in his sleep, with anger on his face, he called Tanqi in displeasedly.

After some inquiry, Cheng Yin learned that Han Sui and Ma Chao were allied, and Cheng Yin was so frightened that he lost all sleepiness, so he quickly sent people to find the generals of the various ministries, and went to look for Zhong Yao by himself.

But when he arrived at Zhong Yao's tent, he learned that he had gone out early in the morning, so Cheng Yin hurriedly sent someone to find him, while he went to the commander's tent first to discuss with everyone.

When they came to the handsome tent, seeing that everyone was already there, Cheng Yin rushed to his seat and sat down. Before he could catch his breath, he began to release all the news he had found.

Knowing that Han Sui's Machao alliance led an army of [-] to attack, everyone in the tent was speechless in shock.

Ma Chao only led 5000 people, and they were defeated. Now that he led 6 people, he knew what would happen without thinking about it.

The candidate stood up on the spot and said: "At this time, the battle situation is not good for us. I am afraid we are not opponents. We should retreat early, so as not to be annexed by Ma and Han."

"Yes, yes, if you don't leave now, I'm afraid that when the Ma-Korean coalition forces arrive, I won't be able to escape if I want to leave."

"This is justified. I should go to gather the army now and leave as soon as possible."

……

Looking at the people who retreated one after another, Cheng Yin said: "Whether to withdraw the army, should we wait for Lord Zhong to come back, or leave without saying goodbye, I'm afraid it will make him angry."

The candidate was displeased and said: "We are not his subordinates, why should we report to him, what a joke."

"As for General Cheng, have you benefited from Cao Cao? Why do you favor him in everything?"

"You...!" Cheng Yin stood up and pointed angrily: "This general is for the sake of the overall situation and our future. The land of Xiliang will be occupied by Cao Cao sooner or later. If we offend him, it may not be good in the future." where to go."

What he said made sense. Xiliang was sparsely populated and its products were scarce. If he wanted to fight Cao Cao, who occupied more than two prefectures, he might have no chance of winning.

Seeing the indecision on everyone's faces, Cheng Yin said, "Since I've been waiting for so many days, I'm not in a hurry, do you think so?"

Threats and truths are two-pronged, and everyone in the tent has begun to accept it, but no one speaks out.

Seeing this, Cheng Yin knew that they had been persuaded, so he deliberately sent out scouts one after another in front of everyone to find Zhong Yao and come back, which has reassured everyone.

Several hours passed, and as the atmosphere became more and more dull, Zhong Yao finally led his personal guards and appeared in front of everyone panting.

"Malaysian-Korean Allied Forces, how many people are there, and how far is it from here?" Zhong Yao asked impatiently as soon as he entered the tent.

Upon hearing the question, Cheng Yin hurriedly said: "There are 6 horses. According to the distance, if you don't need it in three days, it should come soon."

"Three days?" Zhong Yao calmed down a bit, thought for a while and said, "It's okay, a mere [-] soldiers are not invincible."

Seeing Zhong Yao, a Confucian, talking so loudly, the candidate couldn't bear it immediately, and said in a strange way: "I was waiting for 5 troops, but I was defeated by Ma Chao's [-] troops. Since General Zhong threatened to defeat [-], I don't know what to do. ?”

Zhong Yao didn't have a second meter at first, but after checking the terrain for a long time today, he already had inspiration in his heart. "Okay, let's talk about it then."

"Less than twenty miles away from our army's Dazhai, there is a small valley. After some confirmation, it can ambush nearly ten thousand people."

"Ma Chao's previous battle was already a great victory. Now that there are more soldiers and horses, he will definitely be underestimated. At that time, our army will first feign defeat and welcome him into the ambush valley. What do everyone think of this plan?"

The method is good, but everyone has different opinions, and everyone is worried that they will be selected as bait to stay.

The first candidate said impatiently: "This method is very fast, but who will lead the army and stay as bait?"

One general stood up and said, "General Hou's troops are all elites, so it's best to keep them as bait."

Hearing this, the other general quickly stood up and echoed, saying, "Yes, General Hou has unstoppable courage. If you take this position, you will surely make great achievements."

The dead poor is not a poor monk, under the leadership of the two, everyone in the tent flattered the candidate one after another, and praised him to the sky.

Chapter 480 Attack

But the candidates are not fools. They naturally know what these people think, and immediately politely reject their kindness and pass the matter on to others.

Seeing that everyone in the tent was unwilling to stay as a bait, Zhong Yao also looked helpless, but he was not good at giving orders, for fear of arousing their resentment.

Inadvertently, Zhong Yao glanced at Cheng Yin, saw him smiling and beckoning to him, a sudden inspiration came to his heart.

Blinking his eyes slightly, Zhong Yao signaled Cheng Yin to take the lead in speaking, and he could stay as a bait.

Cheng Yan got the signal, thought about it for a moment, and said slowly: "Everyone, this plan was proposed by Mr. Zhong, and it must have been arranged. Why don't I listen to his opinion."

Hearing this, several people who were praising each other turned their heads to look at Zhong Yao, wanting to see who he would choose to stay.

Seeing everyone's opinion, Zhong Yao said slowly: "You mean that you all stay. After all, only in this way can Ma Chao not be suspicious."

"Why!" The candidate stood up and said, "I'm waiting here as a bait, and you are indeed leading the headquarters to watch the show later. Do you want me to wait for both sides to suffer, and then sit back and catch the fisherman?"

"Yes, no..."

"It's, it's..."

……

Looking at the people who spoke against each other one after another, Zhong Yao said in a louder voice: "That's enough, you ask me, who of you is sure to intercept the Ma-Korean coalition forces in the valley?"

Hearing this question, the passionate crowd fell silent and looked at each other.

Seeing that no one dared to answer, Zhong Yao continued, "You can see that if the Ma-Korean coalition forces cannot be stopped, then this plan will fail, and then the false defeat will become a real defeat. Who will bear the consequences? "

Zhong Yao's words are not unreasonable. All conspiracies and tricks must be completed with the cooperation of equal strength. If there is a mistake in one link, I am afraid it will be a different situation.

As for Cheng Yin and the others, it would be most appropriate for them to stay and pretend to be defeated, as long as they don't need someone to teach them, they will act in their true colors to ensure that Ma Han will not see any flaws.

But even though Zhong Yao was right, everyone still dared not speak up, for fear that if they were not careful, they would become scapegoats.

Seeing this, Cheng Yin took the lead in expressing his opinion: "Master Zhong is right. Our soldiers are already afraid of Ma Chengchao. I am afraid that it will be counterproductive to ambush the valley to intercept him."

"Cheng is not talented, and he is willing to lead the headquarters and obey the arrangements of General Zhong."

Under Cheng Yin's leadership, everyone's hearts were vacillating. Zhong Yao looked into his eyes and said gently, "Don't worry, everyone. Since they are all staying, isn't it just a matter of taking care of each other?"

They all stayed, and there were more than [-] people in the coalition army. If they were shared equally, each department would lose a little bit. Everyone thought about it and agreed one after another.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhong Yao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with a smile on his face, "Don't worry, everyone, before you came, you have sent someone to inform the prime minister that the reinforcements should be on the way."

"I just need to win a battle with the Ma-Korean coalition first, and then choose the key places to defend to the death, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive. At that time, the prime minister will reward you for your merits."

If you want to win the hearts of these people, it is necessary to give some sweetness. If they flee, it may cause an irreparable situation.
