Chapter 375 Mid-count

"The defeated general An dares to speak bravely. Thank you for not killing General Guo Yan. I am willing to persuade Xu Rong to surrender. Please ask the general for approval." After listening to Guo Yan's words, Fan Chou's heart was moved. Although he defected to Wang Yun and soon surrendered to Guo Yu, the current situation forced him to decide, and how could he not bow his head under the eaves?

"Hahaha, General Fan Chou has this intention. Naturally, I can't ask for it. General Lao Fan Chou went to persuade General Xu Rong to surrender." With that, Guo Yan made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you, General. I'm going to persuade General Xu Rong to surrender." After saying that, the category turned to the gate, and the soldiers who had followed Fan Chou behind Fan Chou had thrown the sword on the ground and waited for the fate of being captured dejected one by one.

"Mr. Jia Xu, why do I have to persuade Fan Chou and Xu Rong to surrender? It's better to kill someone who strangles Miki with a knife. They can betray Wang Yun at this time. He may not betray us in the future. After watching Fan Chou go away, Guo Yan turned around and asked Jia Xu, who had never appeared behind him.

"What if we kill Fan Chou and Xu Rong today? The tens of thousands of elite soldiers under Ma Teng are what we should really worry about. However, as long as Fan Chou and Xu Rong surrender, it will be different. We can use these two people to kill Ma Teng unprepared. In this way, Chang'an's army is at your fingertips." Jia Xu said quietly and slowly.

"Hahaha, my husband is really calculating. I only saw the victory in front of me. I really didn't see what happened in the future. It really made me laugh." Guo Yan didn't expect that Jia Xu was calculating everywhere in this war. Not only did he divide the army into two ways to make Ma Teng's army unable to look at each other, but now he actually fantasized about recruiting Xu Rong and Fan Chou to fight inside and outside. In this way, even if Ma Teng has three heads and six arms, it is difficult to escape the fate of defeat. Thinking of this, Guo Yan valued Jia Xu more and more. It was difficult for Guo Yan to imagine what he would have done in this battle without Jia Xu's help.

While talking, I saw that Fan Chou had already taken Xu Rong and walked towards Guo Yan.

It turned out that when Fan Chou found Xu Rong, Xu Rong had been completely surrounded, and a group of soldiers were struggling to support in the encirclement, and they were about to be broken by Duan Wei. At this time, Fan Chou arrived in time. Naturally, he persuaded Xu Rong without much effort. It must be that Xu Rong and Fan Chou were originally Dong Zhuo's subordinates, but they had no choice but to go for a good future. At this time, it seemed that not only did they not have a good future, but they almost lost their lives.

"General Guo Yan has been disgraced by his mission and has persuaded General Xu Rong to surrender." When he came to Guo Wei's approach, Fan Chou first fell to the ground and said.

"I'm Xu Rong, I'd like to meet General Guo Wei." Vanity also fell to the ground. Although he still didn't do it in his heart, he was defeated like a mountain. If he wanted to live, he could only surrender. There was nothing to say.

"Hahaha, with the help of two generals, I, Guo Yan, am like a tiger." At this time, Guo Wei hurriedly greeted them and helped them up, and said with a smile. An expression of an old friend meeting.

"It's our honor to serve as a general." Seeing Guo Wei supporting each other, Fan Chou and Xu Rong said quickly.

"Ha ha, and the general is General Guo, so why be so polite? Now that everyone avenges the Prime Minister together, it is not a beautiful thing for the Qing Dynasty. When Wang Yun and Ma Teng and these thieves are ambushed, how will General Guo Yan treat you at a loss? At this time, Jia Xu also came out from behind. Xu Rong and Fan Chou just surrendered and wanted to make these two people work for themselves. Of course, they had to appease them, otherwise how could they feel at ease?

"Mr. Jia Xu is right. We are a family. Why should we be so polite?" Seeing that Jia Xu said so, Guo Yan also stretched out his hands cooperatively and took Fan Ju and Xu Rong one left and one right. The three of them hooked shoulders and looked like good brothers. At this time, I heard Guo Yan say to the soldiers behind him, "I'm going to hold a banquet tonight to treat my two good brothers who have been reunited after a long separation." With that, he pulled the two of them to the Taishou Mansion.

At this time, a group of soldiers were confiscated of their weapons and detained, waiting for the final disposal.

"Come on, let's raise your glasses with me. Welcome back to the two brothers, Fan Chou and Xu Rong." At the banquet, Guo Wei first raised his glass and said to the generals. He was very happy that Fan Yu and Xu Rong had surrendered.

"Thank you, General, for your kindness. The general treats me like this. I will treat him as if he dies in battle." After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became stronger. Fan Chou stood up and raised his glass to Guo Yan.

"General Guo Yan treats the two of us like this, and we can only repay it with this fate. From now on, as long as the general's order, Xu Rong will never frown." Seeing that Fan Chou said something, Xu Rong also stood up to show his loyalty.

"There are two words, what can I ask for?" Seeing the loyalty of the two, Guo Yan also said happily.

"To be right, General Guo Yan, why didn't we see General Li Wei? This time, Ma Teng came to lead the army and asked the two generals to do it." From the beginning, he didn't see Li Yu, and Fan Chou was a little strange. Although Li and Guo Yan wanted to surrender, it was impossible that he was not prepared at all.

"Hahaha, to tell you two, in fact, Li Wei has led the troops to Chang'an. It is estimated that he can take Chang'an in a few days, and I am responsible for leading the troops to attract Ma Teng here." After saying that, Guo Yan burst into laughter.

As soon as Guo Yan said this, it made Fan Chou and Xu Rong's hearts suddenly. Only then did they know that Ma Teng and Wang Yun had been in charge of it from the beginning. They only thought that they were going to send troops to seize Fufeng and Tianshui. Unexpectedly, others were also thinking about Chang'an. Ma Teng led the attack this time, but Chang'an only had 20,000 soldiers to defend. This How long can a few soldiers and horses defend?

"In this way, I'm afraid it's true that the morale of Tianshui and Fufeng counties is low and the escape of soldiers and horses?" At this time, Xu Rong remembered another thing, so he asked. In today's World War I, Xu Rong has seen the situation of defense in Fufeng City. In addition, Guo Yan just said that Li Wei has led troops to Chang'an. In this way, the two counties of Fufeng in Tianshui should be enough soldiers, and there is no way for soldiers and horses to escape.

"Hahaha, there was indeed a situation where the soldiers and horses fled, but now with Mr. Jia Xu, the situation of soldiers and horses who fled has been solved for a long time." Speaking of this, Guo Yan looked at Jia Xu next to him and said with a smile.

At this time, Fan Chou and Xu Rong realized that they had been defeated in the original war for a long time. Thinking about Ma Teng, who was still coming, they couldn't help feeling a little funny. What could Ma Teng do even if he rushed to Fufeng now? Once Chang'an is lost, it is just a homeless dog.

"Speaking of which, Ma Teng is indeed a person, but it is difficult to deal with this time." At this moment, I suddenly heard Jia Xuyou sighing and saying. He seems to be a little afraid of Ma Teng.

"Well, I have been fighting with Ma Teng for many years. I know that this man's temper is unyielding, and his soldiers and horses are really my strong enemy." Hearing Jia Xu's words, Guo Wei also sighed and said with a serious face.

"Hahaha, General Guo Yan, Mr. Jia Xu, don't worry about you two. It's enough for us to break Ma Teng." Seeing that Guo Yan and Jia Xu were embarrassed, Fan Chou suddenly stood up and said with a smile. Now that he has surrendered, he has to say something. Fan Chou thought clearly. Although he has surrendered, Ma Teng does not know about it. The people who know it are now in Fufeng City. As long as you pay a little attention, the news can still be kept secret, and Fan Yu and Xu Rong can just take this opportunity to raid Ma Teng.

"General Fan Chou is right. I am also willing to help General Fan Chou to sneak into Ma Teng's army, and then make peace inside and outside. He will definitely be able to break Ma Teng's army." Seeing Fan Xu's idea, Xu Rong also stood up and said.

"Hahaha, with the help of two people, Ma Teng will definitely lose." Seeing Fan Chou and Xu Rong begging for war, Guo Yan said with a smile.

"Generals, I think it's not too late. If you want to raid Ma Teng, you have to leave early. If it's late, you will change." It is naturally impossible for Ma Teng to know about the surrender of Xu Rong and Fan Chou now, but the longer it takes, the more likely it is for Ma Teng to know. Of course, Jia Xu hopes to solve Ma Teng as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll leave tonight. Even if Ma Teng is cunning, he didn't expect that we had surrendered to the general." Seeing that Jia Xu's words were reasonable, the category was also said immediately.

"It's so good. Let Duan Bion lead 10,000 soldiers to go with you and help you." Although Guo Yan's words are euphemistic, the meaning of his words is very clear. That is, the captured soldiers will not be released tonight, and of course, the soldiers and horses led by Fan Chou, Xu Rong and Duan Wei can only be Duan's tens of thousands of horses, which is equivalent to depriving Xu Rong and Fan Chou of their military power, and Xu Rong and Fan Chou can only play a role in defrauding Ma Teng's trust.

"General Guo Yan, don't worry, there are two generals, Fan Chou and Xu Rong, leading the team. This trip must be safe." Hearing the meaning of Guo Yan's words, Duan Wei quickly stood up and said.

"General Guo Yan, don't worry, we will do our best to assist General Duan Wei." Seeing Guo Yan's intention, Fan Chou also said. At this time, Guo Yan's distrust, Fan Chou was unable to resist, and he did not have his own soldiers and horses. Even if he fled back to Ma Teng, he was afraid that Ma Teng would find an opportunity to kill him. As for escaping back to Chang'an, did they still use Ma Teng? At this point, whether it is Fan Chou or Xu Rong, he can only follow Guo Yan.

"Hahaha, I will definitely not forget you after it's done." With that, Guo Yan picked up the glass and drank it all.

That night, Duan Wen selected 10,000 elites to change into clothes pulled from the surrendered soldiers, dressed up as a successful and defeated army, and fled all the way in the direction of Ma Teng's army. Early the next morning, Guo Yanjun packed up his clothes and followed the marks left by Duan Wei all the way.

In the barracks outside Xianyang City, Ma Teng is holding a banquet for the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang. These days, the communication with Liu Guan and Zhang's three brothers made Ma Teng know that Liu Bei is brave and resourceful, and Zhang Feiguan Yu is brave and extraordinary, so he valued Liu Bei more. At the same time, he is also very jealous of Liu Bei's good luck. Speaking of which, Ma Teng feels that he is more prestigious and powerful than this little Liu Bei, but why is Liu Bei? He could get a good general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and if he hadn't had a son like Ma Chao, he would have been a little embarrassed in the face of Liu Bei.

"Come on, Liu Bei, let's have a good chat today." The war is approaching, and the wine Ma Teng can only be tasted, but this does not affect Ma Teng's mood to eat meat.

"Thank you, General, for your hospitality. I really have caused trouble to the general these days." Seeing that Ma Teng was kind and difficult, Liu Bei was a little cynic, and it was not easy to accept Ma Teng's kindness.

"Haha, Brother Liu Xian, you and I are the same as before. Why do you say these words? Your business will be mine in the future." Ma Teng laughed, and the intention of attracting Liu Bei was obvious, but how could Liu Bei be the kind of person who was willing to rely on others?

"General, General Fan Chou and General Xu Rong have been sending troops for a long time. I don't know when General Ma Teng will drive his troops to Fufeng?" Since he came to Xianyang, Ma Teng has slowed down the pace of the march. It seems that he doesn't care much about the battle of the striker, which makes Liu Bei very confused and has a bad feeling.

"Ha ha, the virtuous brother is a royal clan. Naturally, you don't have to hide these things from the virtuous brother. Fan Chou and Xu Rong are the remnants of Dong's thieves. I intend to let them fight with the rebels, and then collect the benefits of the fisherman." Ma Teng smiled and said his thoughts without hesitation.

After listening to Ma Teng's words, Liu Bei shook his head secretly. Although the result was similar to Liu Bei's guess, Ma Teng's behavior was tantamount to destroying the Great Wall. Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but fight.

"General, even if General Xu Rong and General Fan Chou were once Dong Zhuo's subordinates, they have now abandoned the secret and become a general of the imperial court. If the general ignores them in this way, won't it make the heart of the imperial court feel cold? Moreover, Guo Yan of the State of Li is not a general person. The general should unite his friendly forces to eliminate traitors such as Li Wei and Guo Yan in one fell swoop. Although Liu Bei knew that this sounded bad, he also said resolutely that the current court must be weak and could not withstand the toss. Liu Bei could see this. Could it be that Ma Teng could not see it?

"Report, the general is not good. General Xu Rong and General Fan Chou were defeated outside Fufeng City. Now some defeated soldiers have fled back." At this time, a soldier suddenly broke in and reported to Ma Teng. It turned out that when Li Meng and Hu Yu attacked the camp, some soldiers escaped, so it was time to report to Ma Teng early.

"These two bastards were defeated so quickly?" Although Ma Teng was not kind to Xu Rong and Fan Chou, he was still surprised to hear that Xu Rong and Fan Chou were defeated so quickly.

"Hey hey, if I had known this, we three brothers should have been the vanguard. Xu Rong and Fan Chou are not here. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses are defeated so quickly. It's really incompetent." Hearing the news, Zhang Fei, standing beside Liu Bei, said heartlessly.

"What's going on with Fan Zou and Xu Rong? Is it dead or alive? After listening to Zhang Fei's words, Ma Teng couldn't help blushing. After all, Ma Teng was also responsible for the defeat of Xu Rong and Fan Chou, so Ma Teng licked his lips and asked the soldier about Xu Rong and Fan Chou.

"The soldiers who fled back just said that when the two generals Ye Fan Chou and Xu Rong attacked Fufeng City at night, they didn't know anything else?" The soldier thought about it before saying.

"Didn't none of the soldiers who attacked Fufeng City with the two generals that night escaped back?" Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly sensed something and asked the soldier.

"This? The villain doesn't know." When the soldier saw Liu Bei asking, he could only answer truthfully.

"Report, there is a defeated brigade outside the camp. It seems that General Fan Chou and General Xu Rong have come back." At this time, another soldier came to report.

Although Fan Chou and Xu Rong took Duan Wei and their soldiers and horses on their way overnight, they were also a step late. Other soldiers fled back to Ma Teng before them, but these soldiers didn't know it, but it didn't matter.

"Humph, are the two idiots Xu Rong and Fan Chou still alive? Bring them to see me." Hearing Fan Chou and Xu Rong rushing back, Ma Teng only felt a stream of anger and roared at the soldiers.

Not long after, I saw the soldiers come in with two tattered and blood-dressed generals. At first glance, it was Fan Chou and Xu Rong. The scars on their bodies were real. After all, they had really experienced a hard battle, but this was not fake, but the blood stains on their bodies were not the original. , but it was only wiped up after leaving Fufeng City.

"The defeated general Xu Rong and Fan Chou see the general." As soon as they came to Ma Teng, Xu Rong and Fan Chou knelt on the ground with shame on their faces and said.

"Well, you two, as the vanguard of our army, were defeated by the enemy, which humiliated our army. The crime was unforgivable. I was pulled down and killed by someone." Since Xu Rong and Fan Chou lost the battle, Ma Teng naturally did not need to save any more face for the two, so he directly ordered the killing. In this way, Ma Teng could naturally swallow the remaining soldiers and horses of the two. With such a plan, Ma Teng naturally showed no mercy.

"The general showed mercy. Since the two generals struggled to escape back, why didn't the general give them a chance? At least it's not too late to listen to why they defeated the battle and decide how to deal with them." Seeing that Ma Teng was going to kill Xu Rong and Fan Chou, Liu Bei stood up to stop him. This is not because Liu Bei wants to save the two, but Liu Bei instinctively feels that Fan Chou and Xu Rong's failure is not so simple.

"General, the two of us lost the battle. It's not a pity to die. Even if the general didn't kill us, we didn't come back to meet the general. It's just that we inadvertently came to the important military situation. My subordinates knew that this matter was a big deal, so they tried their best to get out of the siege, just to report to the general. It's not too late for the general to kill us after listening to it. At this time, Xu Rong suddenly smiled sadly, and then raised his head and said to Ma Teng.
