Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight Ma Teng's appeasement
Chapter 668: Ma Teng’s Comfort
"Brother Shoucheng, if this bandit army is really Yuan Shu's army, then maybe we can't stay here."
Liang Xing stood up suddenly and directly expressed his thoughts.
"Brother Zhengxu, why do you say this?"
Hearing Liang Xing's words, Ma Teng didn't have much expression, because his face could no longer see the expression. He just slowly picked up the wine cup in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses are beyond our comparison. He can now send a bandit army to clean up Fanhe and Rile. I'm sure there will be another army that has already gone to where we are stationed.
Even if there are no other troops, will this bandit army sweep away Zile and Fanhe and then move to another place to fight again? We cannot allow our base to be wiped out by Yuan Shu just to fight Yuan Shu here."
Liang Xing spoke very straightforwardly. He couldn't risk his home being raided by helping you Ma Shoucheng and continue fighting. Otherwise, even if they agreed, the soldiers under his command would not agree.
"That's right."
"Indeed."
"I think so too."
As soon as Liang Xing said this, the other four people all agreed. After all, people's hearts are full of flesh, and it is impossible to really abandon their family and children to become a hero.
"Generals, how about you listen to me?"
After glancing at the five generals in front of him, Ma Teng took his time and drank the fine wine in his palace again.
"Brother Shoucheng, if you have anything to say, please speak up."
After hearing Ma Teng's words, several people also sat down temporarily and stared at Ma Teng, who was in the first place.
"Generals, if you are a bandit army, where will you send troops next after sweeping away Fanhe and Rile?
Is it Xuanwei, Wuwei or Zhangye?"
As soon as Ma Teng said these words, everyone's eyes flashed with thoughts. Indeed, if he were a bandit army, after the Qiang land was cleared and the troops of the Qiang tribe were transferred back, where would they set their sights next?
?
"Since no one has a clear answer, let me tell you my opinion."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ma Teng spoke again.
"If I were a bandit army, after clearing out Fanhe and Rile, I would definitely point my sword at Guzang and capture my Ma Teng's family first. In this case, as long as I am not hard-hearted, I would definitely return to Bingguzang immediately.
, in this way our coalition will inevitably break up, and he will be able to take us down without any effort, does what I say make sense?"
After Ma Teng finished speaking, he drank another sip of wine, but there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes. As he said, if the Dang Kou Army really left Fanhe and Rile, the most likely next target would be the residence of his wife, children, and children.
,Gu Zang.
"Then what does Brother Shoucheng think?"
After hearing Ma Teng's words, everyone calmed down again, because what Ma Teng said was indeed correct, and it was also the most likely situation.
"Now that everything has been said, I am here to make a promise to everyone, no matter what happens to Gu Zang?
Whether we are besieged by the enemy or not, as long as the battle of Cangsong is not over, I will not return to rescue. Ma Teng will bear the brunt of the destruction of his homeland."
After Ma Teng finished speaking, a trace of unbearability flashed in Ma Chao's eyes. If it was true as his father said, Guzang was surrounded but could not rescue him, then the most likely possibility is that his two brothers and mother all
Captured by Yuan Shu.
"Brother Shoucheng's courage really makes me admire him. You also said that his most likely direction of attack is Guzang. But what if Yuan Shu doesn't follow common sense and let Guzang go, but instead sends troops to invade other places?
?”
Although what Ma Teng said is correct, it is nothing more than a guess. Yuan Shu is an extraordinary person. It is not impossible for his bandits to abandon Guzang and attack their own base.
"There is no other way. If this is the case, if you want to leave, I, Ma Teng, will definitely not stop you and let you leave.
But one thing must be clear to everyone, that is, even if we join forces to face Yuan Shu, we are still weak. If everyone really leaves, then the army facing Yuan Shu will just hit an egg against a stone and be defeated one by one, and the ending will not be the same.
It speaks for itself.”
Now Ma Teng really can't say anything. Even if he can abandon his family and son and fight Yuan Shu firmly, he can't ask others to do the same as him, because this is simply unrealistic.
Besides, if he really wants to stop him, he must be able to stop him. He only has so many soldiers and horses now. He may be able to overwhelm one family, but he can't do it when facing a combination of five families.
Rather than being like this, it's better to be more open-minded and let those who have to leave go. It's better than rebelling and causing internal strife.
"Brother Shoucheng, the situation is very clear now. Facing Yuan Shu's army, it will be difficult for us to resist. Instead of fighting here, would it be better to surrender?"
The candidate glanced at Ma Teng and suddenly said this.
"Haha, brother Ziyuan, if you want to surrender before the war starts, you can, but now we have united together and fought with Yuan Shu. Now we are one and the same. In Yuan Shu's eyes, you and I have nothing to do with Ma Teng.
No, do you think he will accept it?
Besides, it is not impossible for us to win. Didn't I say that Li Jue and Guo Si have already left Chang'an, so why not capture Jincheng? When the time comes, Yuan Shu will definitely send some of his troops back to the army for rescue. Then we will attack with all our strength.
It’s not certain who will win this battle.”
When faced with the candidates, Ma Teng was both angry and funny. Now that you're surrendering, you really don't know what's in your head. It's probably not that your brain is just a pile of dung.
"Hehe, hehe."
The candidate was a little embarrassed when facing Ma Teng, so he could only smile twice to hide his expression.
"Okay, now that everything is said and done, everyone can drink."
Having said all that needs to be said, the five generals' faces have also improved. The situation on the verge of collapse seems to have stabilized for the time being.
"I won't drink anymore. We have to go back to the military camp to appease the soldiers. Now everyone is worried. I'm afraid that if we go back too late, they will blow up the camp."
The words had already been spoken. Ma Wan and others looked at each other and did not choose to have a drink here. Ma Teng said that they had to think things over. After all, this was a matter that concerned everyone. It would be difficult for them to continue fighting if they did not consider it carefully.
,
Besides, even if we really want to continue fighting with Ma Teng, our soldiers and horses still need to be appeased, otherwise we really don’t know what problems will arise, and it is not impossible to blow up the camp.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work. After everyone has made arrangements, we will have a banquet and have a good drink."
Ma Wan and others did not give a positive answer now. Ma Teng knew that they must still be hesitant in their hearts, but he could not force these things. He hoped that they would choose to stay and continue fighting with him.
"Okay, then we'll go back."
Ma Wan and others got up directly, left Ma Teng's mansion, and headed towards their military camp.
