Chapter 608 Cheng Gongying's Tricks Again
Cheng Gongying immediately remembered that Beigong Jiyu and Beigong Boyu had a deep brother-and-law relationship, and because he had no children under his knees, he loved Beigong Hu, Beigong Hong and Beigong Jiyue, as if he were his own child.
At present, three relatives and children were killed on the battlefield. There is nothing worse in life than a white-haired man sending a black-haired man.
Cheng Gongying's eyes suddenly lit up and looked straight at Beigong Jiyu. Qiang people were brave and resourceless, and they had always been the last tool to use. At that time, Beigong Boyu was the best example!
"Ai, my condolences to the head of Beigong. To be honest, this article is extraordinary and talented, and the generals under his command are all famous and brave generals in the world. This time, 80,000 troops will be attacked to Liangzhou, which is bound to be won. This time, because he failed to obstruct Wen Bofan's march, with only 20,000 troops in Qingshui, it was impossible to resist Wen Buchong's 80,000 soldiers.
Once Qingshui falls into the extraordinary hands of Wen, he is a place where he has a basis in Liangzhou. He can attack and retreat. On the contrary, our situation is not stable, our troops and horses are not fully prepared, and we lost our fighters first. The current war situation is very unfavorable to us, and Cheng and General Ma have nothing to do about it!"
Cheng Gongying's words can be said to be true. He grows the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige. Ma Chao frowned and wanted to refute several times, but was blocked by Cheng Gongying's secret eyes.
"Irma's three nephews died at the hands of the extraordinary generals. If he can't repay his blood and hatred, how can he face Brother Irma under the nine springs!"
Beigong Jiyu's old body trembled when she heard it, and her face was full of sadness and hatred. Perhaps because it was difficult to avenge blood, Beigong Jiyu was even more crazy. Cheng Gongying looked at it, but she was secretly happy.
"Although Wen is a worldly evil tiger, he is not invincible. If the head of the North Palace wants to take revenge, it is not impossible. I'm afraid that the patriarch of Beigong dares not fight!"
Cheng Gongying squinted his eyes and suddenly turned his words. Beigong Jiyu seemed to catch a life-saving straw when drowning, and suddenly grabbed Cheng Gongying and asked urgently.
"If you can take revenge, even if you want Irma's life, Irma dares to fight!"
Looking at Beigong Jiyu falling into the trap he set step by step, Cheng Gongying's eyes flashed, his tone was slow and reasonable, and he was not in a hurry.
"The head of the North Palace clan is the head of the family. How can it be lost? If you want to take revenge, the head of the Beigong clan, why not devote yourself to the strength of the Xiqiang clan and join our army as the general trend. In this way, it is not impossible to defeat Wen Ifan, the evil tiger in the world.
"This!!"
As soon as Beigong Jiyu heard this, she immediately hesitated. Liangzhou has suffered a series of military disasters in the past ten years. At present, there are only more than 80,000 soldiers in Xiqiang, 20,000 were requisitioned by Cheng Gongying, and 20,000 were destroyed by Wen Han's soldiers and horses a few days ago. Therefore, Xiqiang has only 40,000 troops left to guard the tribe.
If these 40,000 soldiers and horses are requisitioned again, less than half of them can be retained after the war. How can such a weak force protect the safety of the Xiqiang tribe?
What's more, for the Han people, the Qiang people are an alien after all. No matter how good the superficial relationship is, you should be more guarded secretly. Otherwise, you will face the great disaster of extermination at any time!
Beigong Jiyu was hesitating, and Cheng Gongying opened his mouth to persuade again.
"North Palace patriarch, Wen Bifan has always hated the Qiang people very much, and his name of champion is killed by the Qiang people! If Liangzhou falls into the hands of this person, Xiqiang will never have a day to come out. The people of Xiqiang are worried all day long, afraid that one day they will be killed by Wen Bofan. It can be said that life is better than death! In this case, why does the patriarch of Beigong hesitate!?"
Cheng Gongying's words were like a huge hammer, striking fiercely on the heart of Beigong Jiyu. Beigong Jiyu's old body trembled, and an old face changed rapidly.
Beigong Jiyu's heart is in turmoil and is making a final determination. Cheng Gongying suddenly closed his mouth at this time. That's enough. If there are more, it will make Beigong Jiyu suspicious.
Ma Chao's heart moved when he saw it and secretly clapped his hands. Cheng Gongying deserves to be a peerless talent, and he can take advantage of his immediate defeat to fight for greater benefits for the army.
After about half a column of incense, Beigong Jiyu suddenly gritted his teeth, and his eyes were full of crazy hatred.
"If Mr. Cheng hadn't reminded me, Irma hadn't woken up yet. Wen Bifan and Erma Qiang are as powerful as water and fire, and Erma can only be with them forever! Irma rushed back to the tribe, raised 40,000 soldiers and horses from the tribe, and rushed to Di Dao!"
"Hahaha! If so, our army has nearly 160,000 troops, and the extraordinary army is almost doubled! Why don't you avenge the growth of the Beigong clan!"
Ma Chao laughed loudly and quickly walked to hold the hand of Beigong Jiyu. After making some words to appease Beigong Jiyu, Cheng Gongying seemed to think of some arrangements again and abruptly asked Beigong Jiyu how he had a good relationship with Ke Pa Wushui, the lord of Beiqiang, Bingzhou.
Although Beiqiang's bloodline is not pure, it has the name of the Qiang people. Nowadays, the Han people are dominant in the world. Xiqiang and Beiqiang naturally have many friends, so as not to be swallowed by the Han people.
"The patriarch of Beigong, at present, Xiqiang is in danger. Xiqiang and Beiqiang are all a family. Why don't you write a letter to Na Ke and ask him to solve the difficulties of Xiqiang?"
Unconsciously, Cheng Gongying skillfully pulled the whole Xiqiang into his thief's boat. In fact, Wen Han's strategy to Liangzhou this time is under the banner of eliminating the traitor Ma Teng and the remnants of Han Sui. After all, the two men rebelled in Yongzhou. As a herdsman of Yongzhou, Wen Han naturally had reason to send troops. Xiqiang can be outside at all, but Beigong Jiyu had previously listened to Cheng Gongying's slander and thought that after Wen Han attacked Liangzhou, he would inevitably make things difficult for Xiqiang.
Unexpectedly, this muddy water is deeply trapped in it. At this point, it is difficult for Beigong Jiyu and even the whole Xiqiang to turn back.
"Ah! What Mr. Cheng reminds me is! Irma immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to pass it on to the hand of Ke Pa Wushui, the lord of Beiqiang. But how to write this letter?
Beigong Jiyu was in chaos, and he completely listened to Cheng Gongying's instructions. Cheng Gongying smiled. The more Beigong Jiyu relied on him, the more he represented that Xiqiang had become a puppet controlled by him at this time.
"Beiqiang has been recuperating for several years. At this time, Wen Bofan's army is fighting in Liangzhou, and there are only tens of thousands of troops in Bingzhou. Why don't the patriarch of Beigong persuade Nake to raise troops to rebel and take advantage of this to attack Bingzhou? Bingzhou is the hinterland of Wenfan's forces. Bingzhou is in chaos. Wenfan will definitely be in chaos and rush to rescue troops back to help Bingzhou. In this way, we and the army can take advantage of the situation to cover up and hit it hard!"
Cheng Gongying's plan came out, and Beigong Jiyu's eyes lit up and subconsciously praised him.
"Wonderful! Mr. Cheng is really a god!"
And Ma Chao was also happy to listen to it, and unconsciously valued Cheng Gongying. Later, after Cheng Gongying gave another detailed instructions to Beigong Jiyu, Beigong Jiyu wrote them down one by one, and then followed Cheng Gongying's instructions to write a letter.
The urgent matter is over for the time being. Ma Chao wants to host a banquet to Beigong Jiyu, but Beigong Jiyu is not in the mood for a banquet. After politely refusing, he said goodbye to Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying and rushed back to the Xiqiang tribe quickly.
Ma Chao looked at the back of Jiyu in Beigong. The lion's eyes couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous and joking. These Qiang people were simple-minded and simple-minded. They were used by others, but they didn't know it at all, and they were willingly foolish.
"The military division made great contributions to the recruitment of 40,000 Qiang soldiers for our army. Then he made a clever plan. If it is all as expected by the military division and the state is in chaos, there is no doubt that the article will be defeated. It's just that the granary has just opened, and the rich families in Liangzhou counties have also begun to take action and work with us to appease the people. I still need a lot of time to do the buffer!"
If it hadn't been for the instability in the rear, Ma Chao would have been able to leave the army as soon as possible and go to the front line, with a series of wonderful plans of Cheng Gongying. At this time, the battle situation will definitely be very good. Therefore, Ma Chao couldn't help sighing with some regret.
"General Ma, don't worry, but do you still remember Cheng's arrangement half a month ago? This arrangement is just in case. At present, it is very possible for the imperial court to send it out to the extraordinary camp.
Cheng Gongying smiled leisurely. He has always liked to do things with two hands. At the beginning, in order to hinder the progress of Wenhan's army, Cheng Gongying laid two chess pieces, one was the 20,000 Qiang soldiers of Xiqiang, and the other was the imperial court.
Ma Chao's lion's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately remembered that Cheng Gongying advised him to write a letter half a month ago and passed it on to the court. He made an explanation for Ma Teng and Han Sui's rebellion, and then showed his loyalty to the court and hoped that the court would send people to make peace.
At that time, Ma Chao was very puzzled. After all, the Prime Minister Cao Cao took power in the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, Han Sui tried to incite Ma Teng to raise troops together to rebel. The reason was that Cao Cao and Wen Han joined hands to usurp the court. If so, Cao Cao and Wen Han are the same. How can Cao Cao prevent Wen Han from attacking Liangzhou?
Cheng Gongying, as Han Sui's confidant, could he not guess Han Sui's scheming at that time? He just smiled indifferently about Ma Chao's doubts, did not make an analysis, and let Ma Chao act according to his plan. Ma Chao admired the wisdom of Cheng Gongying very much. He knew that Cheng Gongying's move must have a deep meaning, so he did not ask much and did as he ordered.
"Military division, do you mean that Cao Mengde will really send someone to make peace?"
Cheng Gongying suddenly mentioned this matter. Ma Chao just remembered that his former doubts rose again.
"Although Cheng doesn't dare to conclude, he is at least 80% sure!"
"This?!"
Ma Chaoying frowned, and Cheng Gongying looked confident, which made Ma Chao even more puzzled. Cheng Gongying took a look at the change of Ma Chao's expression and knew that it was time to analyze Ma Chao. As a counselor, if you pretend to be mysterious again, you will be too arrogant.
"General Ma is doubtful why Cao Mengde will obstruct Wen's extraordinary strategy in Liangzhou?"
"Exact. Uncle Han used to say that these two people, a nest of snakes and rats, were both jackals and wolves. At present, Cao Mengde is fighting with Yuan Benchu in Hebei. If Cao Mengde can win, half of the country will fall. At the same time, Wen is extraordinary and can also attack Liangzhou. Together with the two, they have almost 70% of the land in the world. If there is no accident, the world will fall into the hands of the two people within five years. In such a good situation, why did Cao Mengde secretly interfere?
"Hehe. General Ma, people's hearts are hard to measure. How do you know that Cao Mengde was not on the slightest guard against the extraordinary. Wen Butfan is a hero of the world. There are many fierce generals under his command, and they are also supplemented by the wisdom of drama talent. In recent years, the new counselor Li Zhongwen showed his edge, so he defeated General Zhengxi. This person is resourceful and is no less than that of Cheng. In addition, the land under the jurisdiction is rich, and it is full of money and grain, and it has won the hearts of the people in the jurisdiction. These heroes, even if Cao Mengde's heart is as broad as the sea, can never be compatible. And that is extraordinary and not a saint, how can he be willing to give his life's painstaking efforts to others? Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the two. Wen Bfan has already won Yongzhou at this time, and the grandeur of his power has made Cao Mengde afraid. Therefore, Cao Mengde will not allow the extraordinary power to expand again!"
Cheng Gongying smiled and talked. An analysis made Ma Chao say that he was a mess. Ma Chao heard it very reasonable and nod repeatedly, as if it were true.
Ma Chao immediately understood his doubts, and then began to discuss with Cheng Gongying about the arrangement of the war in Liangzhou.
Wenhan has obtained clear water in Liangzhou and has a grounded place. At present, most of the Xiliang army is concentrated in Di Dao. The terrain of Liangzhou is steep, and there are plateau hillsides everywhere. Every march must be cautious and choose a good route, otherwise it is very easy to cause unnecessary fatigue for soldiers. Therefore, the place of the decisive battle between the two armies is particularly important. Ma Chao and Cheng Gongying are analyzing where the Xiliang army is with Wen Han's army in order to get the advantage of geographical advantage.
This is a big deal. At present, the rear of Liangzhou is not stable, and Ma Chao will not make a big move for a while. As for Wen Han, he did not dare to act rashly without knowing the movement of Xiliang's army.
At the same time, in Qingshui City.
A team of scouts rushed into the city. On the way, they met Li You. When Li You saw that the scouts were in an emergency, he inquired. The scout general told Li You that ten miles away, there was a team of well-armored soldiers guarding a golden and brilliant carriage rushing to the clear water, and the flag in the team said exactly Liu Geng, the king of Hanyang!
As soon as Li You heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were glowing. Liu Geng, the king of Hanyang, is the uncle of the Han Dynasty. Although he has no power, he is a relative of the Han Dynasty after all, and his status is extremely noble. Even Cao Cao wants to sell his face.
