As the sound came in, the soldiers also ran in quickly.
The soldier looked anxious. One look at the expression on his face and he knew that something big had happened. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked like his dead father. After the soldier ran into the hall, he knelt on the ground with a bang, clasped his fists and said: "
General, Xinping County urgently reports that Xinping County has been captured by Wang Can."
Xinping County is located to the north of Huaili County and belongs to Ma Teng's sphere of influence.
Now that Xinping has fallen, the soldiers are also a little worried.
After Ma Teng heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
He suppressed his restless thoughts and asked carefully about the situation in Xinping County before letting the soldiers leave. Ma Teng watched the soldiers leave, took a deep breath, and said to Han Sui who was sitting next to him: "Wen Yue, Xinping County
If it is captured, it depends on how Wang Can uses his troops next. Whether he is planning to attack the east and west, or whether he is planning to besiege Huaili, the answer will soon be available."
Han Sui nodded and said: "Brother, what you said makes sense, we are just waiting for the news."
At this time, Ma Chao stood up and said loudly: "Uncle, my nephew has other opinions."
Han Sui asked, "What is Meng Qi's clever plan? Just tell me and listen."
As he spoke, Han Sui looked at Ma Teng again and said: "As long as it is a feasible plan, your father and I will fully support you. You are my Xiliang Junyan. If you can defeat Wang Can, you will become famous."
The world is over."
After Ma Chao heard this, his breathing became a little faster.
Defeating Wang Can, what an exciting thing!
Ma Chao stabilized his mood and said loudly: "My nephew suggested that Wang Can might adopt the strategy of attacking from the east and attack the west, while General Yan Xing suggested that Wang Can might divide his troops to attack various counties and finally besiege Huaili. No matter which strategy it is, Wang Can's
The troops will continue to advance and will take the newly occupied Xinping County as a foothold. Therefore, we can wait for Wang Can to lead his troops to leave Xinping County, and seize Xinping County without surprise, cutting off Wang Can's retreat."
After Ma Teng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Han Sui was also thinking carefully, his deep eyes flashing with brilliance.
At this time, Yan Xing stood up.
Yan Xing took the initiative to stand up, and Han Sui raised his eyebrows with a smile on his face. He asked with a smile: "Yan Ming, what else have you come up with?"
Yan Xing bowed to Han Sui and Ma Teng, and then bowed his hands to Ma Chao.
He said slowly: "General Xiaoma said that Wang Can would lead the troops forward, so the general thought of a way."
Ma Teng hurriedly asked: "What can I do?"
Ma Chao also said in a neutral tone: "General Yan Xing, what's your clever plan?"
When Han Sui saw Ma Teng and his son taking turns questioning each other, Han Sui's relaxed brows furrowed again, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his face. The two men's repeated questioning seemed to be interrogating the prisoner, not Corporal Li Xian's questioning.
Yan Xing smiled calmly and said: "Since Wang Can will continue to advance, why don't we send an order to the magistrate of Hanxing County and let him pretend to surrender to Wang Can when Wang Can attacks. After our leading army arrives, they will act as
What about internal response? In this way, not only can the loss of the county be avoided, but it can also make Wang Can more arrogant and make Wang Can take it lightly."
After hearing this, Ma Teng said: "In this case, wouldn't we take the initiative to surround Wang Can?"
Ma Chao said: "Father, General Yan Xing's plan is feasible."
Ma Teng asked: "Meng Qi, is it really possible?"
This sentence made both Han Sui and Yan Xing frown. Yan Xing just had a long conversation about feelings, and Ma Teng didn't think it was feasible. Or is it your son's?
However, neither Han Sui nor Yan Xing showed it.
Ma Chao said with a smile: "General Yan Xing's opinion is in line with the child's strategy of taking the initiative."
After a pause, Ma Chao continued: "Wang Can continued to divide his troops to occupy cities. From Xianyang City, Wugong County, Xinping County, Hanxing County, every city needs soldiers to guard it. In the end, whether it is to attack the east and west, or to catch the turtle in the jar.
, will all come to attack Huaili, this is what Wang Can must do."
Ma Teng listened to his son's analysis and felt it was very reasonable.
Han Sui was smiling and could not see any change.
Seeing Ma Teng's agreement, Ma Chao continued, "Wang Can divided his troops to attack everywhere, and we concentrated our forces to attack one place. Wang Can first arrived in Xiliang, and even if he occupied Xinping County, the people's sentiment would definitely be unstable. This is our opportunity."
Ma Chao showed a proud expression and said: "We will lead our troops back and attack Xinping County first to cut off Wang Can's retreat. Then we will divide our troops into two groups and attack Wugong County along the way. We will continue to pursue Wang Can one by one.
Destroy Wang Can's troops. In the end, Wang Can became a bare general and could not fly out even if he had wings."
Ma Teng asked again: "Meng Qi, do you mean to abandon Huaili and attack the place occupied by Wang Can?"
Ma Chao said: "Father, this is exactly the reason."
Ma Teng looked at Han Sui and asked, "Wen Yue, what do you think?"
Han Suixiao said: "My nephew's opinion is very good. I also agree to abandon Huaili, concentrate our forces to attack Xinping County, and then eliminate Wang Can's power one by one. However, Huaili County is the foothold of the Ma family after all, so we still have to stay
A trustworthy person should be stationed there. Besides, Huaili County has been run by my brother for so many years. The city is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, so someone should be left to guard it."
After Ma Teng heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Han Sui looked at Ma Chao with a smile on his lips.
After he heard Yan Xing say that Wang Can wanted to catch a turtle in an urn, he felt something bad in his heart.
Once Wang Can really catches a turtle in the urn, he won't be able to escape, and he won't even be able to go back to Longxi. However, Ma Chao said that taking the initiative to attack was playing into Han Sui's plans. Regardless of whether he could defeat Wang Can, he was able to get rid of Wang Can's trap.
Even if he was defeated, Han Sui could escape.
Han Sui didn't care whether Huaili could be defended. As long as he could defeat Wang Can or find a way out, that was what he considered.
Yan Xing listened to Ma Chao's suggestion and did not refute it.
Han Sui's eyes kept rolling, and he suddenly asked: "Brother, we take the initiative to attack Xinfeng County, we must hide our whereabouts and not let Wang Can know our movements. Therefore, the march must be done at night, although the speed is slow.
, But in this case, Wang Can will definitely leave Xinfeng County, and when we lead the army to Xinfeng County, we will catch the defenders stationed in Xinfeng County by surprise."
After hearing this, Ma Teng said: "Wen Yue's words make sense!"
After a pause, Ma Teng asked again: "Wen Yue, who do you think should be the vanguard to attack Xinfeng County?"
Han Sui didn't think twice and said immediately: "My nephew is famous in Xiliang and has a high prestige. Using my nephew as the vanguard can enhance the morale of the army. As for Yan Xing? Let him be my nephew's deputy."
Bar."
When Ma Teng heard this, he felt even more happy.
Immediately, Ma Teng and Han Sui finalized the personnel arrangements for sending troops.
However, the date for dispatching troops has not yet been determined.
Because after some discussion, a group of people decided to wait until Wang Can left Xinfeng County before taking the initiative to send troops to attack Xinfeng County. This also overturned Han Sui's idea of sending troops immediately, but Han Sui had other plans.
The only thing he wanted was to get out of the siege, so Han Sui agreed.
Han Sui and Ma Teng's armies have begun to prepare.
…
After Wang Can led his soldiers to capture Xinfeng County, they stationed themselves there.
In fact, Yan Xing did guess the next movement of Wang Can's army.
Because after Wang Can led the army to occupy Xinfeng County, he had already discussed with his civil and military officers to attack Xingping County. However, what Wang Can will choose has not been determined yet. Because the army can march straight in and directly attack Xiliang; or choose
Make a sound in the east and attack in the west, and attack Huaili; or choose to catch turtles in a jar and besiege Huaili.
None of this has been shown, and it is impossible to speculate, because Wang Can has only confirmed the plan to continue to advance troops, and has not launched an attack.
