Chapter six hundred and sixty-ninth five secret discussion
Chapter 669: Five people’s secret discussion
"Father."
When he saw several people leaving, Ma Chao called out to Ma Teng.
"Meng Qi, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Looking at Ma Chao, Ma Teng frowned.
"If the bandit soldiers surround Guzang, do we really want to sit back and watch our mother and two younger brothers?"
Ma Chao thought for a moment before expressing his doubts.
"What do you think?
You have also seen the current situation. If I had not said so, Ma Wan and the five men might have led their troops to leave immediately. By then, we would have perished without the enemy's bandit army coming to kill us. We are stronger than others.
Now Yuan Shu is continuing to use his powerful force to pressure us, and it is too difficult to turn the situation around."
Ma Teng glanced at Ma Chao, his eyes full of bitterness. Who could abandon his family?
But now that the situation has reached this point, if he doesn't become ruthless, he probably won't be able to defeat the invaders.
"But we can't really ignore them. Besides, even if we can really abandon our families, what about the soldiers under our command?
They will definitely not leave the family alone, and I'm afraid the camp will be blown up by then."
Hearing Ma Teng's words, Ma Chao's eyes showed a trace of anxiety. This anxiety was not only worried about his family, but also worried about the situation at hand.
"Now I can only take one step at a time. To be honest, what I'm afraid of now is not that the bandits will surround Guzang. After all, Guzang City has high walls and it's difficult for the enemy to conquer it in a short time. What I'm afraid of is that Yuan Shu will not act according to common sense.
, directly send troops to Xuanwei and other places, then Ma Wan and the others will definitely return their troops, and the coalition forces will be truly destroyed."
The situation of Yuan Shu's soldiers surrounding Guzang is still unknown, and it is beyond his ability to figure out. Now he can only take one step at a time and passively make moves. He is afraid that Yuan Shu's goal is not just himself, but the entire coalition. Once they send troops elsewhere,
The coalition forces were really dead, and it would be a joke to fight against Yuan Shu with just the few troops under his own command.
"Father, do you think Li Jue and Guo Si from Chang'an will really send troops to rescue?"
Since the whereabouts of the bandits are no longer something they can guess, they can just do the things in front of them. But will the reinforcements Ma Teng mentioned really appear?
"I don't know, but now the Han Emperor and the Han Court are in their hands. If Yuan Shu has great ambitions, he will never let go of the Han Emperor. After finishing us, his next target will definitely be Yongzhou.
It is simply impossible for Li Jue to defend Yongzhou by his own strength. The probability that he will send troops to rescue me is still very high.
That’s why I said originally that waiting is not useless, at least Yuan Shu’s waiting has seen results, and we can only wait any longer.”
Ma Teng's eyes were completely dark now, he could not see or hear anything. He had no idea what was going on in Chang'an. Now he could only deduce the following results based on common sense and the situation.
But what he didn't know was that in order to save themselves, Li Jue and others chose not to send troops to Liangzhou to fight against Yuan Shu, but decided to send the Han emperor out who might attract Yuan Shu's attention, so as to divert trouble to the east and ensure their own safety.
"My child understands."
After hearing Ma Teng's discussion, Ma Chao had nothing to say. Now it seemed that all they could do was wait.
"Well, during this period, we must first pay attention to Yuan Shu taking advantage of the situation to attack the city. The other thing is to calm down his soldiers and horses. They must not cause any problems. If Yuan Shu had not attacked and we had messed up first, then there would be no need to fight this battle.
"
Although Ma Chao already understood, Ma Teng still told Ma Chao some things. After all, this is an extraordinary period, and Yuan Shu may take advantage of the Qiang people's departure and his unstable military morale to directly attack the city.
"promise."
Ma Chao cupped his fists and saluted Ma Teng, then left the county office and ran towards the military camp. He had a lot to do, so he couldn't waste any time.
After the five Mawan people returned to the military camp, they gathered together again. The five-person group sat in a small room and looked at each other for a while, becoming speechless.
"Tell me what everyone thinks."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Ma Wan could only speak first.
"Ma Wan, first tell me what you think?"
Liang Xing glanced at Ma Wan, but there was a different light in his eyes. After all, they came here to confront Yuan Shu after listening to the deception of Ma Wan and others.
"It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what you think. Should this battle continue or do you have other ideas?"
To be honest, Ma Wan felt like he was having a headache. Damn it, Yuan Shu, you are an old bastard. When it comes to fighting, you just fight with your horse, your horse, your sword and your spear. A win is a win, and a defeat is a defeat.
You now have more soldiers and horses than me, but you still want to do something as small as a sneak attack. I'm really impressed.
"I feel that this battle is really unwinnable. Yuan Shu originally had many more troops than us, but now the Qiang people's 40,000 cavalry have also withdrawn. I'm afraid we really can't handle it."
The candidate glanced at Ma Wan and expressed his concerns directly.
"Well, this is indeed a big problem. What I'm afraid of now is not Cangsong. What I'm afraid of is that the bandit army will not attack Guzang directly, but will turn north to invade our base. Then it will be really over."
Cheng Yi also opened his mouth at the right time and expressed his worries.
Ma Wan and Zhang Heng couldn't help but frown when they heard what the two said, because what they were talking about was the situation they were facing now. This was something that was stated openly and there was no way to refute it.
"But Ma Teng also said today that if we unite as one and face Yuan Shu, we can barely sustain the situation. If we really break up, facing Yuan Shu alone, we will definitely be defeated and easily wiped out."
Zhang Heng glanced at Ma Wan, and then expressed his worries. This is also a matter of fact, and there is no way to refute it. So many people can't defeat Yuan Shu even together. If they really go their separate ways, I'm afraid they will directly face Yuan Shu.
That's it.
"To be honest, I am still inclined to surrender now. After all, we have a lot of troops together. If Yuan Shu really wants to surrender, whether it is for the sake of the progress of the war or the casualties of the soldiers, he should not refuse us.
"
The candidate glanced at Zhang Heng. I know that we are very weak. I also know that if we go our separate ways, we will be beaten into idiots. But after all, this is a battlefield. If I surrender, I believe Yuan Shu will definitely not refuse.
"We have a label, will Yuan Shu really accept us?
Even if we are accepted, where will our future be?"
Ma Wan also frowned and replied to the candidates. After all, they really have labels now. This situation is the same as when Ma Wan chose to help Ma Teng.
To be honest, labels don't matter in normal times, but now are extraordinary times, and labels are very important.
Even if Yuan Shu accepts them, what outcome will be waiting for them?
