Chapter Four Hundred and Two?
Before this, Ma Teng had actually realized this problem. But now it has been pointed out by Yang Fu.
He was so dignified that Ma Teng, General Fubo and Ma Yuan, had been circulating in Qiang and Hu for many years. Finally, he reached this point.
Or please surrender or escape.
This is not a good choice. Surrender is to rely on others' roofs. How can one live a happy life?
Escape, where can he escape now? Just enter the Western Regions west and go north to Xianbei. They are all bitter and cold places, and they are all territory of foreign races. They are even more dependent on others, and they live according to their faces.
Ma Teng hesitated for a long time, looked up and asked Yang Fu, "Yishan. How about I go north to Wuwei and continue to lead troops to fight against Zhang Xiu?"
Among the counties in Hexi, Zhang Xiu's hometown, Wuwei County, is farther away from Guanzhong, and is more able to [rely rely on the distance and not accept it]. From a military perspective, it is also possible to go there to struggle dyingly.
Yang Fu sighed and said sincerely to Ma Teng: "As Zhang Xiu, you will definitely not sit and watch the general make a comeback. You will chase you to the ends of the world. If you escape to the Wuwei area, you will only last longer. Why bother?"
Yang Fu's words have made it clear. Now the situation is settled, so it's better to surrender.
But Ma Teng hesitated, sighed lightly, and said, "Let me think about it."
Yang Fu knew that it was not easy to make this decision, so he sighed slightly, stood up and shook his head, turned around and left.
What should come, it will come after all.
Zhang Xiu personally led a large army from Qiang to the east and reached outside Jincheng.
Pang De led a large army from south to north to reach Jincheng, and the two sides met.
Zhang Xiu and Pang De did not meet, but each set up camp outside the city. Zhang Xiu was in the west of the city and Pang De was in the south of the city.
However, Zhang Xiu's great counselors all left Pang De and returned to Zhang Xiu's side.
In the central army tent, Zhang Xiu sat on the commander's seat with a big horse with a golden sword, and the civil and military officials sat separately. The military generals included Zhao Yun, Hu Cheer, and Hua Xiong.
The civil officials include Xun Yu, Ju Su and Fa Zheng, the three military advisors, as well as the chief clerk Cai Mao, and Zhuge Jin.
It seems that the number of people is a bit scarce, but they are all concentrated essences.
Zhang Xiu looked around everyone and smiled and said, "First rituals and then troops are the ancient method. Now I have troops at the city, and the army has gathered hundreds of thousands of hedgehogs. Ma Teng and Han Sui have lost consecutive battles and are extremely weak. At this time, we can send people to persuade them to surrender. Everyone, who dares to go?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Xiu's eyes scanned the civil servant group.
The chief clerk Cai Mao stepped forward and bowed down and said, "Mr. Ming, I am willing to lobby Ma Teng with my perfect tongue, and Han surrendered."
Zhang Xiu opened his mouth and then looked at the other civil servants. The civil servants are all smart people. They not only do not offend Cai Mao, but they get along well.
After all, Cai Mao is Zhang Xiu's brother-in-law and a relative.
The civil servants assumed that they did not see Zhang Xiu's eyes, and each looked at his nose and his heart.
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to say to Cai Mao: "Okay. Degui is gone. If he can convince Ma Teng, Han will surrender. I submit to the court and pardon you as a marquis."
"Thank you, Mr. Ming." Cai Mao was overjoyed, thanked him, walked out of the tent with his head held high, and asked his personal soldiers to prepare horses with great courage. He only took two followers to gallop out of the camp and head towards Jincheng.
Zhang Xiu glared at the civil servants with a rare chance and complained: "Degui has no talent. I don't know if it's good or bad when he goes this time, so don't you make any noise?"
The civil servants took a look at Zhang Xiu together, and then remained silent.
.............
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiu looked down on his brother-in-law a little.
Although Cai Mao has no talent, he has been involved in the aristocratic circle since he was a child and has some eloquence. Now he has tied his thighs.
Behind him is Zhang Xiu and Zhang Xiu’s hundreds of thousands of troops support him, so he is naturally extremely brave.
After some negotiations, Cai Mao entered the city from the west of the city and was then greeted by an official and entered the lobby of Han Sui's mansion.
There is no one else in such a huge place, only Ma Teng, Han Sui and Yang Fu.
Cai Mao didn't recognize who these three people were, but he could probably guess.
"This must be Changshi Yang." Cai Mao first bowed to Yang Fu, and then praised: "Chief can be capable, he is a senator from Liangzhou. The Grand Sima often bothered him. [I have all the treacherous heroes, but I will not be able to get Yang Fuxie]. It is a great honor to see Changshi Yang today."
Yang Fu had to admit that Cai Mao was very good at speaking. And he was a little happy inside. Zhang Xiu actually valued me so much?
But Yang Fu then remembered his own experience and couldn't help but feel completely happy. He bowed his hand in shame and said, "Mr. Cai is so serious. I am a horse and the two generals of Han, but I have been defeated repeatedly, and I am incompetent. What is the [Senior of Liangzhou]."
Cai Mao smiled and said, "You don't have to be ashamed of Yang Changshi. The Changshi is [Supervisor of Liangzhou]. There is no doubt that it is just who it is compared with. With the Changshi alone, he confronts me, Sima Zhang and the great strategists of Weiwei, and naturally has poor wisdom. It is not that the Changshi is incompetent."
Yang Fu shook his head slightly, but once again bowed to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao first greeted Yang Fu for a while before greeting Ma Teng and Han Sui. Ma Teng and Han Sui did not make things difficult for Cai Mao, so he asked Cai Mao to sit down.
"Now the two armies are facing each other, and the fight is the next moment. Mr. enters the city, don't know what it means?" Han Sui was actually very clear about Cai Mao's purpose, but pretended not to know.
"He came for [Martial Arts]." Cai Mao said with a smile.
"What's this mean?" Han Sui frowned, a little confused.
"Stop the sword and serve as a martial arts." Cai Mao raised his head and raised his chest, with a divine light between his eyebrows and eyes, and bowed and said, "Now the army of both sides gathered together, hundreds of thousands of people, and the fight was only the next moment. I heard that Ma Dama was generous and treated the people well. Ma Dama Dama also made great contributions to protecting the territory and protecting the people. At this time, why not pity the people, put down the spear and sword, and shake hands with the court to make peace?"
Cai Mao was very eloquent. At this time, he did not talk about persuading surrender, nor did he talk about how powerful Zhang Xiu's army was, how weak Han Sui and Ma Teng were. He only said that he shook hands and made peace, which gave Ma Teng and Han Sui a very proud face.
Ma Teng was not good at eloquence, and Yang Fu was already discouraged. Han Sui stood up and said, "Since he was stopping the sword and was thinking about the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Why should the Grand Marshal be aggressive? The court and us commanded the Qin and Liang states separately, and were in harmony with each other. Wouldn't there be a lot of trouble?"
Ma Teng then answered and nodded and said, "If Sima Zhang can report to my brother as the governor of Liangzhou, general of Pingbei, and conferred marquis, we must be respectful and polite to the court and make contributions on time."
This is nothing to talk about.
If you can’t do literary things, then come to martial arts.
Cai Mao slightly corrected his sitting posture, and a sharp look appeared between his eyebrows and eyes, as if he had the bonus of Zhang Xiu, and his spirit was unparalleled.
He said in a deep voice: "The world is unified, and the general trend is the trend. Zhang Dasima immediately served the emperor, and attacked the emperor, and was angry with the emperor. Now he has hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers and thousands of good generals under his command. And the two great generals are poor in power and wisdom. How could the Grand Sima let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Speaking of this, Cai Mao raised his head and looked at Han Sui and said, "Mr. He is known as [Famous Scholars in the Country]." Then he turned to look at Ma Teng and said, "General is the descendant of General Fubo, Ma Yuan, and he was a Han minister in the world. Both of them have their own reputations."
"If the two can surrender to the court with hundreds of thousands of people. If the Grand Sima is arrogant, they will definitely submit to the court and make the two marquises a nobleman, and be rich and glorious. Wouldn't it be beautiful? If the two insist on competing with the royal army of the court, they will probably lose their lives after the city is broken."
At the end, Cai Mao was both harsh.
At this moment, he seemed to be invincible in the world. The Zhang Xiu behind him, the great strategists under Zhang Xiu, the powerful generals who were fighting against him, and hundreds of thousands of troops gave him extremely courage.
Even if he was in the enemy's lair, he dared to speak like this.
Whether literary or martial, smiling, or sensual, and easy to be at ease.
Han Sui and Ma Teng were immediately angry, but they endured it and did not get angry. Let’s not talk about Ma Teng for the time being, Han Sui actually had the option of surrendering.
And if you become the envoy of Cai Mao, then this option will be applied.
He can't kill Cai Mao.
But Han Sui was not weakened and sneered, "That's all I have said. I have been in Jincheng for many years, and there are many food and supplies in the city. There are still 300,000 elite soldiers, and they can be managed for three years. Since Sima Zhang wants to unify the world, let him lead the troops to take them personally."
At this moment, Cai Mao had no choice. This article is not good, and the martial one is not good. Han Sui is so stupid that he plans to strait in the turtle shell of Jincheng to compete with Zhang Xiu's spear and sword.
It is difficult to persuade Han Sui to surrender by relying on language.
However, Cai Mao still struggled for a while, and his words stimulated Ma Teng and Han Sui, hoping that these two people would change their minds.
But in the end, it was not successful. However, although Han Sui and Ma Teng were angry, they also sent him out of the city politely.
This fast horse entered the enemy's lair and spoke so happily among hundreds of thousands of troops.
Although Cai Mao did not complete the task, he thought about it carefully and felt that it was not a loss and was very happy.
This is diplomatic relations.
A great power.
If it were another person who talked to Ma Teng and Han Sui, he would probably not be enough to cut his head.
Cai Mao's performance made Ma Teng, Han Sui and Yang Fu misjudged it.
After seeing Cai Mao off, Yang Fu sighed softly and said, "There are so many talented people under Zhang Xiu's command. It is rumored that Cai Mao is a person who has no talent and is good at flattery. But when he sees him today, he is also stunning. It can be seen that the rumors are not credible. Zhang Xiu is also wise and keeps Cai Mao in the tent."
"Yishan is right. Cai Mao was born in a famous family, and he is another outstanding talent and courageous. In the future, he will definitely be an important official under Zhang Xiu and a famous figure in history." Ma Teng nodded and praised Cai Mao's courage.
Han Sui didn't say anything, but his eyes agreed with the two.
Cai Mao is really brave enough to say something about "after the city slope, life will be lost."
