For this reason, Ma Dai tried his best to persuade Ma Teng, stating that it was not shameful for Ma Teng to lead his troops to ask Li Li to surrender, but it was a wise move to assess the situation.Now the Xiliang army under Li Li's command is strong and majestic, and with the emperor's edict in hand, it occupies an absolutely favorable active advantage.Under such circumstances, Ma Teng led his troops to surrender, which can not only show that Ma's army is loyal to the Han court, but also take advantage of the steps given by the emperor's edict to step down. This will not damage Ma Teng's great reputation in Liangzhou.

Such a great opportunity to take advantage of the donkey down the slope, the Ma family must not miss it, otherwise the Ma family army will be completely finished!

Ma Dai stated the pros and cons with good intentions, hoping that Ma Teng would know his way back, make a decisive decision, and take the initiative to surrender to Li Li's army.It's a pity that Ma Teng couldn't listen to a word of his heartfelt words. Instead, he became suspicious, thinking that Ma Dai had different intentions.So Ma Teng wanted to take back the military power in Ma Dai's hands and set him aside to avoid chaos within the Ma family army.

However, when Ma Teng took over Ma Dai's military power, he suddenly found that he had no generals under his command.And Ma Dai's prestige in the army is quite high, second only to Ma Teng, and far above Ma Tie and Ma Xiu.Leaving Ma Dai idle means that the internal morale of the Ma family army is unstable, the people are panicked, and there is a faint tendency to split.

At this time, Youfufeng County fell, and Ma Yunluo followed Ma Chao and led his troops to surrender to Li Li.This move is undoubtedly worse for the Ma family army stationed in Jicheng. The house leaked and it rained overnight. Misfortunes never come singly.As a result, the Ma's army, which was already somewhat unstable, finally made the conflict public.

Ma Dai and Ma Tie strongly advocated surrender, and mobilized dozens of lieutenant generals to jointly remonstrate that Ma Xiu was still young and soft-spoken, so he did not participate in it.Faced with Ma Dai and others' coercion and remonstrance, even Ma Tie's own son got mixed up with Ma Dai and others, and Ma Teng became a loner instead.Frustrated and angry, Ma Teng insisted on going his own way, and immediately dismissed Ma Dai, Ma Tie and other more than a dozen generals from the military power, insisted on defending Jicheng, and fought with Li Li's army with all his strength.Fortunately, the Ma Family Army was established by Ma Teng after all, and most of the generals in the army were promoted by him. Therefore, after Ma Dai, Ma Tie and others were dismissed, there was no civil strife in the Ma Family Army, at least for now.

At this moment, Ma Teng looked down at Li Li's army under the city with a solemn face, but he couldn't help worrying about gains and losses.

It is true that before Li Li's army arrived, the Ma family's army was relatively stable, and no general stood up against Ma Teng openly.However, at this time, the Xiliang army was approaching the city, and the army surrounded the city of Jicheng.At this time of crisis, will the lieutenant generals have any dissatisfaction, will some people take advantage of the Xiliang army's siege and defect, open the city gate without authorization, or passively resist, and do not work hard?

Ma Chao served under Li Li's command, Ma Yunluo also surrendered, and now Ma Dai and Ma Tie also advocate Kaicheng to surrender.These people are all Ma Teng's children and nephews, and they are all willing to surrender to Li Li. Is there no general in the army who asks for surrender?

Thinking of this, Ma Teng, standing at the head of the city, felt inexplicably miserable.Until now, he has finally realized what it means to be "betrayed by others" and what it is to be "loose hearts", and now he himself is a veritable loner.

In the face of internal and external difficulties, can you really hold Jicheng by yourself?

In this regard, Ma Teng had no idea and had no chance of winning.The saddest thing is, it's a pity that he doesn't even have a confidant general to discuss the war, and he can only handle everything by himself, and decide with one word.

With the war imminent, Ma Teng shouldered unspeakable tremendous pressure, exhausted physically and mentally, and felt desolate in his heart.

"Da da da!"

"Where is Ma Shoucheng? Do you dare to go down to the city and talk to this general?" Outside the east gate of Jicheng, Li Li drove the Jinyu Beast King slowly to the moat, raised his eyes to look at Ma Teng on the top of the city, and shouted.

"Li Li, Mr. Ma is here. If you have something to say, why bother to be hypocritical?" Ma Teng waved his hand to signal the left and right soldiers to retreat, and shouted with a gloomy face.

Li Li stopped by the moat, as if he was too far away to hear Ma Teng's words, and answered the question in a loud voice: "It is said that Ma Shoucheng is a hero of Xiliang, who has been in Xiliang for more than ten years, and has a great reputation. Ma Teng of Xiliang is really a rat with a false name and fame, not only is he not a hero, but a bear with a shy head! Right now, the city of Jicheng is tall and strong, with [-] iron armor inside and a moat several feet wide outside, but you, Ma Shoucheng, dare not leave the city Talk to General Ben. Such a cowardly person, you are also worthy to occupy the strong city of Jixian County and confront our Xiliang army?"

Chapter 351 The Battle of Hanyang ([-])

During the shouting, Li Li's tone paused for a moment, and then he clicked his mouth and said loudly with disdain on his face: "Tsk tsk tsk! You, Ma Shoucheng, an imposing eight-foot man, is willing to be a rat, only dare to hide in the city and speak wild words, but dare not go down!" Cheng replied. Li felt that the Ma family army was worthless, and how unfortunate it would be for tens of thousands of Ma family soldiers to have such a shrunken general like you!"

After finishing speaking, Li Li held the reins in his hand, pretended to turn his mount, and sighed, shaking his head, "Hey! It's a pity, it's a pity, tens of thousands of Xiliang men were buried in your hands like this, Ma Shoucheng, you will die with regret!"

"Boom! I'm so angry!"

Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city around him showed strange expressions after hearing Li Li's words, and there were many soldiers whispering among each other in the distance, Ma Teng was so angry that his eyes burst into flames, and he punched the female wall furiously. , angrily glared at Li Li, who was riding his horse and was about to leave, and shouted sharply: "Wait a minute! Li Li, wait a moment, why should Ma be afraid, and I will meet you when I come out of the city!"

"Eh?" Li Li let out a cry of astonishment, reined in the reins immediately, and stopped by the moat in a leisurely manner, watching Ma Teng quickly walk down the tower.

In front of the Xiliang Central Army, Dian Wei murmured to himself: "Now our army has surrounded Jicheng, and tens of thousands of troops are approaching the city. It only takes a single order from the Lord, and the city can be captured within half a day. Why bother?" I specially invited Ma Teng out of the city to answer questions, wouldn't this raise Ma Teng's status, increase the morale of the enemy army, and destroy his own prestige?"

After military advisor Jia Xu heard the words, he shook his head with a smile and said, "General Dian's words are wrong. My lord has gone through hundreds of battles and has never been defeated. How can there be no reason for his words and deeds?

Now, the lord invites Ma Teng out of the city to answer a question. On the surface, it seems that he has given Ma Teng enough face, but in fact it has a lot of meaning!

This time we led an army of 2 to attack Xiliang, of which there were nearly [-] cavalry and only [-] infantry.Now our army is going to attack Jicheng.War cavalry is not suitable for storming cities, and has to rely on infantry to attack cities.If Ma Teng made up his mind to defend the city and let people block the city gate in advance, then our army's siege soldiers would not be able to break through the city gate except for climbing the city wall, and there would be heavy casualties after the battle.

For now, however, we can breathe a sigh of relief.As long as Ma Teng comes out of the city, it means that the city gate is not blocked, then when we attack the city, we can focus on hitting the city gate and break through Jicheng with the least casualties! "

"Hey hey!" Dian Wei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.But he touched the hard and cold helmet, and said with a simple smile: "Thank you for your advice, I really didn't expect that there are so many skills in a simple shout before the battle! My lord said earlier that I still lack the ability to lead the army, and it is a little bit reluctant to be alone. I still don't accept it. Now it seems that the lord is right. Dian does have a lot to learn. Otherwise, sooner or later he will suffer a lot!

Just like the city of Ji in front of us, if I, Dian Wei, were ordered to attack this city, I'm afraid I would have already led the army to attack it by now.If Ma Teng really blocked the city gate from the inside, then the casualties of the soldiers in this battle may be great. Unless they climbed to the top of the city or knocked down the city wall, it would be difficult to capture the city.well.Compared with the ability of the lord to lead the army, Dianmou is not as good as the horse, the distance is more than a thousand miles, the gap is too big! "

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback.He turned his head and smiled approvingly: "General Dian, don't be self-effacing, you are too demanding of yourself. My lord is thoughtful, far-sighted, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away. This is a matter of course, because our lord He is a rare generation of heroes in this world! It is right for General Dian to learn the art of war from the lord, but there is no need to belittle yourself. The general only needs to guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and use troops cautiously. You don’t have to imitate the lord everywhere. There are no ready-made battle examples to borrow from. But there is one thing that the general must keep in mind. As a leading general, you must know yourself and the enemy in every battle, so that you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

Just like in today's battle, Jicheng Ma Teng is a veteran on the battlefield. He has been famous for a long time.When fighting against such a veteran, one must be cautious, not to have the slightest mistake, not to be negligent, and not to underestimate the enemy.Once our army makes a slight mistake, it will leave an opportunity for Ma Teng to take advantage of, and then he will be unable to attack and fall into a stalemate.If this battle is delayed for a long time, our army will definitely not be able to last long, so we have no choice but to withdraw our troops and make calculations later.However, if our army can't attack Jicheng, then Han Sui of Jincheng must be confident and follow Ma Teng's example to defend the city and resist to the end.In this way, it will be difficult for the lord to realize his plan to wipe out Ma Teng and Han Sui within a month, and it will affect the situation in Xiliang as a whole, disrupting the lord's subsequent plans and strategies, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

On the contrary, right now Ma Teng only needs to go out of the city to answer his lord, regardless of whether he blocked the city gate beforehand, but now that he is out of the city, it means that the obstacles at the city gate have been cleared.Later, the lord will order the siege immediately, and the key point of the siege is the city gate.As long as our army pushes down the three well fences to fill the moat, we can forcibly put up planks and take the city gate directly.As long as our army is close to the city gate, there will be no threat from the moat. After cutting off the hanging rope, our army's siege equipment can reach directly below the city and attack the city aggressively.In this way, no matter how Ma Teng defends the city, he can't stand our army attacking and harassing the city day and night. Within ten days, the city will be destroyed! "

Hearing Jia Xu's eloquent talk, Dian Wei kept nodding, feeling that he had benefited a lot.

Dian Wei was not the only general who heard Jia Xu's words. Guo Si, Huang Zhong, Teng Yu, Duan Wei and other generals gathered in front of the Chinese army at this time, listening to Jia Xu thoughtfully. Explain the gains and losses of soldiers in this battle and coping strategies.

The reason why Jia Xu described today's battle in such detail is also to implement Li Li's long-term plan and deepen the generals' awe of the lord Li Li.This time, Li Li's [-]-strong army marched westward, not only for the purpose of destroying the two thieves Ma Teng and Han Sui, but also for a deeper purpose.Otherwise, he would not need to bring [-] Xiliang iron cavalry to go out at all, but should bring more infantry, so as to facilitate the progress of the war.

As for Li Li's real intentions, Jia Xu can guess some, but he doesn't know the details.However, as a military adviser, what he has to do is to plan ahead, share the Lord's worries, and make preparations in advance to avoid panic when the time comes.

In addition, the current Xiliang Army is considered to have a great family and business, and its soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger. There are thousands of generals in the army.At that time, it would be impossible for Li Li to do everything himself in every battle.It is necessary to lower the military power and let the commanders of each battalion be on their own.In this way, the burden on Jia Xu, a military adviser, will increase.For this reason, it is necessary for him to increase his weight and influence in the hearts of the generals of the battalions in advance, so that these generals will not take him seriously in the future, and make their own opinions and do their own things under the guise of not accepting military orders abroad.

Under the city of Ji County.

"Heck!" As the city gate slowly opened, Ma Teng, dressed in black armor, galloped out of the city with a whip, and walked to the opposite side of Li Li.

One is more than three feet wide.A moat about two feet deep runs between the two of them, and the two sides stand facing the river, facing each other from afar.

"Little Li Li, Mr. Ma has been invited out of the city, what else do you have to say?" Reining in the horse, he stopped on the west bank of the moat.Ma Teng glared at Li Li with his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hehehe!" Li Liwei laughed first.He smiled calmly and said, "General Shoucheng is here all right?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Mr. Ma is not here to listen to your greetings!" Ma Teng ignored Li Li's polite words and reprimanded him sternly.

Li Li turned a blind eye to Ma Teng's angry expression, and still said with a smile: "General Shoucheng, don't worry. The general is old. As a junior, Li must not be rude to others, otherwise it would be a joke for the soldiers to see! But General Shoucheng Since he doesn't appreciate it, then Li doesn't need to be courteous. Let me tell you bluntly."

"Hmph!" Seeing Li Li's hypocritical and complacent look, Ma Teng wanted to slap him twice, but unfortunately he couldn't reach him now, and his face was livid with anger.He snorted heavily to vent his anger.

Seeing Ma Teng's pale face, the smile on Li Li's face became more intense, and he said with a smile: "A few days ago, Li was lucky enough to see your aunt's peerless beauty, and he was so yearning for it that he couldn't sleep at night. Don’t think about it. Today coincides with the battle between your two armies, Li has a flash of inspiration and thinks of a way to make peace with General Shoucheng. Li wants to marry Ling Ai as his concubine. From then on, our two families will never Forge the friendship between Qin and Jin, turn hostility into friendship, and hope that the general will complete it,,,,,, "

"Ah!" Before Li Li finished speaking, Ma Teng blushed and exclaimed, pointing at Li Li angrily, and yelling: "Shut up! My son bullied me too much! I am Ma Teng's daughter." How can I marry you, a bastard with a yellow mouth? You,,,,,,"

"Stop!" This time, Li Li didn't wait for Ma Teng to finish his sentence, but interrupted: "General Shoucheng is unwilling! Could it be that the general thinks Ling Ai is too wronged to be a concubine, and wants Li to marry her as his concubine? Alas, this is difficult! Li already has six wives, and not long ago he took in another concubine. Now, in order for the two armies to settle their suspicions, eliminate military disasters, and avoid unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifices, they are reluctant to marry. The general's daughter is a concubine. In this regard, Li is sincerely proposing to you, the general. If you don't want to, you don't have to speak harshly to each other. Don't take Li's good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs, it will make people feel chilling!"

Li Li looked disappointed, and then changed the subject and said in a clear and serious voice: "General Shoucheng, there is a saying since ancient times: It is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. God has the virtue of good life, Li I don't want to see my warriors from Xiliang fight bloody battles without unnecessary casualties, so I marry the general. This move, Li will be worthy of the sky, and he will be worthy of the tens of thousands of soldiers standing on the top of the city. If the general agrees to this Marriage is a great merit of benefiting others and self, which will benefit the whole life; if the general refuses to agree, then he will not take my Xiliang man's life seriously, and is willing to lead the city for his own selfish desires and coveting high officials and rich salary. Tens of thousands of soldiers were buried for you! I, Li Li, feel ashamed of such a heartless and ungrateful person, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Jicheng feel worthless!

I, Li Li, was born in a reckless country, and my parents died when I was young. I know the hardships of the people in Xiliang and the hardships of the facts.A year ago, I was ordered to take office in Wuwei County. You, Ma Shoucheng and Han Sui, led troops to attack our Wuwei County many times, trying to put Li to death several times.It's a pity that Li is the man of destiny, how could you wait for Xiao Xiaoneng to murder him?Now Li has 40 soldiers in his hands, and can wipe out everyone with a wave of his hand; but I, Li Li, are kind by nature, and I can't bear my Xiliang warriors to kill each other and do stupid things that make relatives hurt enemies and enemies!Now that the world is chaotic and wars are raging everywhere, our Xiliang soldiers should work together to create a great cause. This is a great righteousness.Compared with righteousness, what is a little grudge?

All the soldiers in the city listen to me, I, Li Li, will put my words here today!From today onwards, all the soldiers who are willing to surrender to me, all the previous grievances between us will be wiped out, and they will all be soldiers under my command, Li Li, and they will be treated equally. From now on, we will be like a family of brothers!If all the soldiers stick to their defenses and refuse to surrender, after the city is broken, you will all be criminals, and their families and children will all be sent to exile in the Western Regions!If you are threatened by Ma Shoucheng, you can also serve as our army's internal response when the city is attacked. I, Li Li, still regard you as my Xiliang soldiers, let the past go, and reorganize into an army!This order is limited to today, and will not wait until it is outdated! "

"Son Li Li, you are so vicious!" After being robbed by Li Li, Ma Teng's face turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot with anger, and his lips were bitten.So much so that he stared at Li Li with wide eyes, gritted his teeth loudly, but insisted on speaking, and finally he could only tighten his back molars and squeeze out a pale and weak sentence.

"Hmph! If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die! Ma Shoucheng, please do it yourself!"

Li Li gave Ma Teng a stern look, and said something sharply.

Immediately, he was driving the Golden Beast King and turned around suddenly, facing the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers under his command, he pulled out his sword brazenly, and shouted: "All soldiers obey the order, let's go to war! Siege the city!"

"Son of Li Li, I, Ma Teng, swear against you!" Seeing Li Li suddenly ordering to attack the city, Ma Teng's expression changed suddenly, and he roared angrily.
