It's just that I didn't expect that Yan Rou couldn't hold it anymore?

"Didn't Duke Wei send [-] troops to the north?"

Cao Chun couldn't help but wondered.

The scout sighed and said:

"That's true, but the Xiongnu changed their offensive strategy this time."

"They led an army of more than [-] people. They joined forces with the remnants of the previous Huchuquan soldiers, plus the coalition forces of the wise kings of the left and right and the Qiang people."

"Our army has less than 20 people, and when they attacked, the soldiers and horses guarding Xudu hadn't arrived yet."

"The city was lost again and again, and Wei Gong was not even informed of this matter in the future."

"Now that the situation has stabilized a bit, General Yan sent me to split up with the other scouts."

"I came to ask the general for help, and the other scouts went to report to Duke Wei."

"But the situation is not optimistic. I am afraid that Youzhou is still in dire straits!"

Bai Chuan immediately narrowed his eyes slightly.

How did the situation become like this?

Chapter 188 Don't Conflict With It Again

But if you think about it carefully, Youzhou may indeed face this crisis.

Previously, Bai Chuan brought almost all the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to guard Xudu, and it took almost a month to come to Xudu.

In addition to going back, at least it will take a month and a half.

During this period of time, it is impossible for the Xiongnu to have not acted, not to mention that Huchuquan was attacked and killed by Yan Rou, and the Xiongnu became even more angry.

Moreover, Bai Chuan never expected that the Xiongnu would unite an army of 40 troops!

40 troops, what is the concept?

Bai Chuan vaguely remembered that the Xiongnu used to have an army of no more than 20 at most, and it was under the situation that the whole people were fighting.

Now that it has doubled in size, I'm afraid it's not just the alliance of the Qiang people.

Behind this, there must be many other alien races!

The fact that he came to attack Xiliang has probably been leaked, that's why they are so unscrupulous.

In addition, Cao Cao still needed troops to go to Jingzhou to garrison the remaining cities.

There are actually not many soldiers left for the northern border.

It is no wonder that the current situation has arisen.

Cao Cao now has no spare troops to spare to help Youzhou.

That's why Yan Rou sent someone to ask for help.

After all, I am afraid that the only ones who can move are their 30 troops.

"You go and report to General Yan first. After Xiliang is captured, I will go to the north to help."

"We must defend the northern border and try our best to rescue the people who have been destroyed."

"Up to three days, I will lead the army to go, no matter how you say it, it will take a week."

"Wait for me to go back, and then attack."

Bai Chuan spoke almost without thinking.

Help, must help!

The northern border of Youzhou must not be lost!

Although the offensive power of these alien races is very terrifying, the 20 army can at least resist for a while.

Moreover, Youzhou is still rich in food and grass.

The situation in Youzhou is not as dire as imagined.

At least, a week should last.

Xiliang must not give up so easily, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

"Here!"

The scout hurriedly ordered, without even taking a break, he hurried out of the tent.

"Unexpectedly, the Xiongnu actually engaged in such moths again!"

"They really know each other!"

Cao Chun punched the wooden pillar beside him, and shouted loudly.

Cao Zhang was also full of indignation, and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, we can't just let them do whatever they want!"

But although the two hated the Xiongnu very much, they also knew that they could not send troops now.

Now that this situation has been reached, if the matter on Xiliang is not resolved, there is no way to march to the northern border of Youzhou.

"Sir, we can't just wait like this forever?"

Cao Chun couldn't help asking.

Bai Chuan nodded, and said in a deep voice:

"hold on."

"Besides, Duke Wei hasn't responded yet. The situation in Youzhou may not be as bad as we thought."

Think about it carefully, it is true.

There are 10,000+ soldiers in Youzhou, plus the 10,000 soldiers who made up for it, and [-]+ soldiers and horses guarding the city. Youzhou will not be lost in a while.

You must go to the northern border of Youzhou.

But at least wait until the matter on Xiliang's side is resolved.

……

At the same time, in the direction of Xiliang.

All the soldiers gathered together and looked at Ma Chao one after another.

But it was only the second day that Ma Chao actually summoned everyone?

What does this mean?

It shows that Ma Chao has made a decision now.

All Xiliang soldiers have different expressions on their faces.

No one knows what decision Ma Chao will make in the end.

But one thing, they are very clear.

Even the current situation in the military is not optimistic.

The food and grass were cut off, and there were still 30 troops of Cao Jun outside Tongguan Pass.

The morale of the soldiers is low, and if this battle is really fought, there is no chance of winning at all.

"Everyone."

At this moment, Ma Chao spoke slowly, his inner thoughts could not be seen at all from his expression:

"Today I am suffering in Xiliang, and the people are suffering."

"There are strong enemies outside, but there are worries inside."

"Xiliang, there must be no more wars."

"I'm going to see Bai Chuan."

Hearing these words, everyone was shocked.

Ma Chao's meaning is very clear, he wants to surrender!

In fact, this result is already like a bright mirror in many people's minds.

It's just that they didn't expect Ma Chao to say such a thing.

This was completely different from Ma Chao, the supernatural general in their impression that he would only fight bloody battles on the battlefield, but would be stupefied when he got off the battlefield.

"Brother, have you really made up your mind?"

Ma Dai's heart tightened, and he said solemnly:

"With this surrender, there is no turning back for me in Xiliang."

Ma Chao sighed quietly, and said:

"I've already thought about it."

"Although my father's hatred has not been avenged, how can I sacrifice the whole of Xiliang because of my own selfish desires?"

"You all know in your hearts what will happen if I, Xiliang, and Bai Chuan fight to the death at this time."

Seeing the eyes of everyone after hearing this sentence, Ma Chao already understood their answers.

Must die!

There is no chance of winning at all, it will only be unilateral crushing and massacre.

"He, Bai Chuan, said so much, all he wanted was for me to surrender myself."

"I am Ma Mengqi, what are you afraid of?"

Ma Chao's words sounded a bit bleak.

If he went to see Bai Chuan and surrendered, then Ma Chao might be the sinner of Xiliang.

But if you don't do this sinner, Xiliang will perish.

Don't talk about avenging his father, whether he can save his life is even a matter of opinion.

Ma Chao is not afraid of death.

But Ma Chao was afraid that his death would be too unwise, and he would take the whole of Xiliang to be buried with him.

If the father is in the spirit of heaven, he will definitely make this choice.

"Okay! Since the elder brother made the decision, I will definitely support it."

Ma Dai gritted his teeth and said:

"Brother, I'll go with you!"

Hearing this, Ma Tie also echoed:

"Brother, I'm going too!"

Seeing this, other Xiliang soldiers raised their arms and shouted that they would go to see Bai Chuan with Ma Chao.

However, Ma Chao waved his hand to signal silence, and whispered:

"You all stay in Tongguan, I can go alone."

"Then Bai Chuan wants to see my sincerity, so I'll show it to him."

"He wants Xiliang to return to his heart, not just talking about it."

"This time, we need hostages."

Hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened.

hostage?

If so, then Ma Chao chose to go alone, isn't it just to take himself as a hostage and stay in Cao Ying?

"Brother, no!"

"Father is dead, Xiliang still needs someone to take charge of the overall situation."

"Xiliang, you can't do without big brother!"
