Two hundred and sixty people are not afraid of death

"Shut your mouth and wait quietly!" Ma Zhong didn't blink, "When will you miss your lord's information? Look, when will the Wei army messenger arrives, it will be the time for us to make contributions!"

The young Tang Bing looked a little unbelievable: "I have been going to Daliang for a few waves, but I didn't see a ghost. General, are we really not waiting for the wrong place?"

Ma Zhong raised his head and was about to teach this endless bastard a lesson, but suddenly his ears erected, and a hurried sound of horse hooves came a hundred steps away.

"Here you come!" Ma Zhong quickly fell down again. Tang Bing's eyes lit up, and he closed his mouth and looked over without blinking.

Soon, three light-handed cavalrymen appeared in everyone's sight. Ma Zhong waited quietly, and when the three men entered the range of the tripod horse rope, they suddenly whistled.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded from the bushes on both sides. The three Wei soldiers were startled and hurriedly tied the reins, but it was too late. The Tang soldiers who had been ambushing on both sides for a long time suddenly pulled the rope head, and the tripping rope buried in the soil was suddenly tightened. The three horses bent their front hooves and instantly dropped the owner on their backs off.

Ma Zhong whistled, and five hundred Tang soldiers rushed forward. It was a pity that the three Wei soldiers were already dead in the chaos before they had time to draw out their weapons.

Waving his hand, everyone asked everyone to clean up the battlefield, Ma Zhong squatted down and touched the three Wei soldiers, and indeed found a stack of white paper full of words.

Even the white paper was used, and it seemed that Weis was very anxious.

Ma Zhong opened the paper and looked carefully. It was indeed the news that Wei Liao ordered his troops to split his troops to rescue him. He couldn't help but feel happy: "Good guy, the lord's information is indeed correct. We have stopped the right person!"

The commander dragged three bodies into the bushes, and a soldier from the Tang army came to ask for instructions: "General, should you send someone to inform the lord about the situation here?"

"No, Wei Liao surrounded Xingyang City so that even birds could not enter, let alone sending letters." Ma Zhong shook his head, "The lord knows it, let's concentrate on stopping people here."

Once he made up his mind, Zhao Yong's actions were indeed as decisive as his men. The army on the Zhao-Qi border could not move, so he transferred 20,000 cavalry from the Zhao-Jin border, asking Guo Xin to lead him to a formation on the Zhao-Wei border, and acted as if he would invade the Wei Kingdom tomorrow.

Although there were only 20,000, the Zhao cavalry was brave and good at fighting, and even the barbarians on the grassland were hard to match. Wei Si was so scared that he summoned Wei Wuji overnight to discuss countermeasures.

Wei Wuji had Fazheng's promise first, and decided that the Zhao army was just pretending and would not really invade. He persuaded Weis to withdraw his troops from the Tang State to concentrate his forces to guard against the Zhao army as agreed before.

Weiss is no longer as determined as before, but seeing the fat piece of Xingyang City that he had obtained was reluctant to let go, Wei Wuji still hesitated after repeated persuasion.

Seeing this, Fa Zheng gave Wei Wuji an idea, and there was no need to withdraw all of them, just withdraw half of them. Anyway, the Tang army and Jin army were restrained, and most of the troops in Yanzhou had already gone to Pinglu. It would take only one month for the army to get from Pinglu to Xingyang. Wei Liao left 30,000 troops enough.

Weis thought, this is the reason! Looking at the 20,000 Zhao troops on the border, they became more and more afraid of them as they looked at them. They quickly sent a messenger of 800 miles to send messages to Wei Liao day and night.

In addition to mobilizing troops, Weiss also had his own little thoughts - the Tang Dynasty's rulers and ministers were on the front line and Wei Liao was on the way. Although Weiss did not suspect that Wei Liao was rebellious, he finally had a knot in his heart.

Taking this opportunity to transfer Wei Liao back and put it under your nose, Wei Si was relieved. Xingyang City had an empty army and Wei Liao surrounded him for so long. It would be the same if he changed his general!

After making up his mind, Weiss waited in the palace day and night for news that Wei Liao led his troops back to the rescue.

I waited for five days and didn’t reply. It might be that something went wrong with the messenger’s journey; then I’ll send another group!

There was no reply, maybe Wei Liao had any other plans, so he sent another group to make the wording stern!

After twenty days, no news has been heard back. The Zhao army on the border was about to come in.

Weis was a little panicked and summoned Wei Wuji to discuss countermeasures. A bad word appeared in the minds of both of them at the same time - they were all outside, and they were not allowed to accept military orders!

Wei Wuji persuaded Wei Si not to draw a conclusion first, and then send a group of messengers to try it out, and describe the crisis encountered in the country in detail to Wei Liao. Wei Liao was the general. As long as he understood the lord's meaning, he would definitely send troops back to help. Wei Si listened.

The third group of messengers died again under Ma Zhong's sword without any suspense. Wei Liao had been besieging Xingyang for nearly a month and was even more confident.

Wei Wuji was a little weak now, and began to explore Fa Zheng's words openly and secretly, trying to test whether Wei Liao had really reached a tacit understanding with Tang State.

Fa Zheng naturally denied it and advised Wei Wuji not to think too much. Wei Liao was a talented man who led the army. He must have some of his own ideas and was inconvenient to explain them clearly, so he chose to remain silent.

After hearing Fa Zheng's words, Weiss not only did not eliminate his suspicion of Wei Liao, but instead felt that there was something wrong with the Xingyang front line.

It is reported that the defenders in Xingyang City are less than 10,000. Even if reinforcements later entered the city, the total amount of the battle is less than 20,000, right? They are all tired troops who have experienced the battle against Jin. Why has Wei Liao fought for a month and not made any move?

The last straw that broke the camel's back was news from the Jin State's attack on the Shaoliang front.

"What did you say? The Jin army was defeated?!" Weiss held the silk script and trembled uncontrollably, "This is impossible. He was not confident when he sent troops? Why was he suddenly defeated!"

Wei Wuji lowered his head, and was filled with bitterness: "Duke Jin said that he thought Xingyang was surrounded, and no matter how far Cao Cao was, he would definitely send troops to aid. Shaoliang must be empty. But he didn't expect that Cao Cao was a madman and he would not even save his lord!"

"In Shaoliang City, there are as many as 60,000 Yuanqing's original defenders, and only more than 30,000 Jin army. Generals such as Xian Zhen Biwan were all on the front line of Yanzhao and were divided and surrounded by the Tang army..."

"That fool!" Weis slapped the table with his palm, his eyes red, "He thought, how could he think so? Attacking Shaoliang, what a big deal. I think even if he doesn't summon heavy troops, he has to call Xian Zhen Biwan back? He is so weird..."

"Lord, it's useless to blame Duke Jin now." Wei Wuji interrupted Wei Si's venting, his mouth full of bitterness. "This is news from half a month ago. Now Cao Cao's Tang army may have invaded Jin again. The most urgent task is to quickly let General Wei Liao's army return to the aid..."

"I think!" Weiss was so angry that he was smoking. "You watched. I sent a messenger several times? Did he respond to Wei Liao?!"

Wei Wuji sighed: "It's different from the past. Lord, please advise General Wei Liao."
