Xiaoguangong

Chapter 344 It's Not Too Late
During the Guanzhong Allied Forces before, Ma Chao and Han kept fighting each other, and the two sides suffered from classic illnesses many times, which eventually led to the defeat of the [-] troops.

Later, the two fled back to Xiliang, and under Cheng Gongying's plan, they joined forces for a short time, preparing to conspire for a big event, at least take down Ji County first.

But Ma Chao casually betrayed Han Sui because of his immediate interests, and decided to give up Han Sui completely. Han Sui was stunned for a while, and almost sent him away directly. No matter how much he fooled Chen Qun and the others, his resentment towards Ma Chao was absolutely true. All the generals under his command also hated the capricious Ma Chao, and now he actually talked about cooperation.

Hehe, if it was before the battle of Longshan, Cheng Gongying might have thought about it a little bit.

But Qu Yan's rebellion made Cheng Gongying completely give up this idea.

These people are enough for Lao Tzu.

If you can achieve great things, you will achieve great things. If you can't achieve great things, then let him go. You can't call friends and get a group of beasts who can't mobilize their own evil intentions. This is the way to death!
He flatly rejected Ma Chao. If he hadn't remembered some friendship in the past, he would have told Ma Chao that you were worthy too?

Even if it is completely considered from the military point of view, a Ma Chao who has taken refuge in Zhang Lu has lost all his blood, and there is a huge difference from the brave and invincible Jin Ma Chao before.When he joins Cheng Gongying, he might not be able to play any role at all. Instead, it will add trouble to Cheng Gongying. The cooperation is still unnecessary, and he can live his own life.

Ma Chao never expected Cheng Gongying to have such an attitude.

He was stunned for a long time, and seeing that Cheng Gongying's subordinates were all hungry, he said quickly:
"We have a lot of rations in our army, and I invite you to come in to show your relatives, and we will discuss it slowly."

It would be fine if Ma Chao didn't say this. He took the initiative to bring it up, not only Cheng Gongying, but even the hungry and pale soldiers under his command became nervous.

Ma Chao's reputation is worse than Han Sui's.

This person is capricious, greedy and easy to kill, he doesn't take his own life seriously, let alone the lives of others.

Cheng Gongying has already severely refuted Ma Chao's face. Instead of being angry, Ma Chao offered to provide Cheng Gongying with military rations. Is this possible?
This is impossible!
If Cheng Gongying believed in Ma Chao, he would have spent so long in a place like Liangzhou that cannibalize people.

After hesitating for a moment, he smiled slightly:
"Forget it, our army still has some savings, please Meng Qi make way, I have to go."

"Bo Hua! Why is this!" Ma Chao was angry and angry, and said with hatred: "I took out all the food and grass, it should work, right? You stay here, and I will send someone to send the army food, so that we How about letting your subordinates have a bite to eat, and then let you come and go?"

When Ma Chaoyue said so, Cheng Gongying felt something was wrong.

Look, is Ma Chao this kind of person?
He came from Hanzhong, and the road was difficult all the way. How much food and grass can he have?He didn't take down Ji County, even if he plundered freely, how much savings would he have?Don't have any ambush.

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said with a smile:
"I appreciate Meng Qi's kindness, but there are still big things to come, I dare not wait, so we are on our way.

If Meng Qi really has the heart, please block Chang Diao's pursuers for us, and thank Meng Qi for the generals. "

After finishing speaking, Cheng Gongying retreated slowly under the protection of his soldiers. The people did not dare to stay in Xianqin, they passed Ma Chao and headed west, leaving Ma Chao with a surprised face standing in the cold wind, unable to laugh or cry for a while.

In this year and year, there is food, but they still can't win the hearts of the people?
How is this possible?

Ma Chao was trembling all over. He rode his horse back to the city, roughly picked up a handful of golden wheat, and walked slowly to the army under Cheng Gongying's command.

He spread out his palms and looked at the passing soldiers with anticipation in his eyes.

He didn't believe that there would be no one willing to follow him if there was food around him!
But the soldiers under Cheng Gongying's command passed by his side with fear on their faces. They quickened their pace one after another, not daring to look at Ma Chao, or simply bowed their heads in silence and strode forward quickly.

Ma Chao stood in the wind, his back was extremely lonely, and an unspeakable grievance kept rising in his chest, which almost made him cry.

Cheng Gongying's soldiers were all loyal to Han Sui. Before Han Sui suffered a big loss from Ma Chao, his soldiers were also indignant, and everyone remained vigilant against Ma Chao.How could this capricious warrior who has been in Liangzhou for many years have any good intentions?No one wants to believe this kind of thing.

The pitiful appearance of Ma Chao holding a handful of wheat in the cold wind is even more contemptuous. Even if he is hungry, he is unwilling to be fooled by Ma Chao. The Liangzhou army hastened their pace, but no one followed Ma Chao much. Word.

Ma Chao was silent for a long time.

For the first time, he really felt broken.

He thought that even if he lost everything, the elders in Liangzhou would support him and stand with him.

But now, it was obvious that the Liangzhou people had given up on him.

That's right, who would unconditionally continue to support a capricious person who has nothing but force but can't bring them benefits.

Liangzhou people were able to plunder with Ma Teng and Han Sui before, but Ma Chao didn't bring them any favors, so of course they didn't bother to care about Ma Chao.

Even the locals in Liangzhou don't trust me anymore, so what should I do in the future?
I have really changed this time, and I really want to work together with you to do something big, you guys trust me again, trust me again!

Ma Chao kept roaring in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound.Now he can understand that once some things are lost, they can't be retrieved by just saying a few words. He finally understands why Chen Qun and others cherish their reputation so much, and damaging their reputation is like damaging their own lives.

"Too much deceit, brother, I'm going to kill him now!"

"Who did you kill?" Ma Chao looked dull.

"Behead Cheng Gongying!"

Ma Chao shook his head slowly, and said with difficulty: "Forget it, don't do this kind of thing."

Ma Dai looked at his cousin in fear, and couldn't help crying.

When Ma Chao was in Hanzhong, he was even more decadent than he is now. He thought that he would boost his fighting spirit when he returned to battle, but it can be seen that Cheng Gongying has taken away all his fighting spirit, and Ma Chao has almost fallen into boundless despair.

"Next, what should we do?"

"Go and join Ling Ming, let's... see if we can take down Ji County.

If not, go back to Hanzhong! "

As Ma Chao said, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but he walked slowly to the side of the Weishui River. Looking at the crystal waves splashed by the rushing water in front of him, a last small flame seemed to grow in Ma Chao's heart. .

"No, I'm not leaving."

"Just now, didn't Cheng Gongbohua say that someone was chasing them?"

"That's right, it's Cao Jun's Chang Diao!"

"It's Chang Diao again!" Ma Chao recalled the previous experience in Huayin.

If he had been braver and more courageous back then, how could he be so rampant now.

"If you block Chang Diao, you are showing your relatives. Block Chang Diao! For the friendly army... cut off the queen!"

If Cheng Gongying knew what Ma Chao was thinking, everything would definitely be different.

But who has known Ma Chao for a long time, who would dare to believe this capricious martial artist who even betrayed his own father?

After experiencing the Quyan Rebellion, Cheng Gongying didn't believe it even more, and retreated to Jincheng as if flying.

·
On the other hand, Guan Pingjun's progress is also very smooth.

Before Han Sui and Ma Chao mobilized a large number of soldiers, Longxi County had a small number of people. Guan Ping showed Han Sui's banner and asked Yan Xing to lead the way. Sure enough, the military rations in Longxi were recruited very smoothly before the food and grass were exhausted.

The soldiers in Guanzhong were very excited about all this. Guan Ping repeatedly emphasized military discipline. They were very polite and gentle to the people who came to deliver food, trying to make them feel a little bit of their own kindness.But the local people all looked fearful towards them, but they had a very good attitude towards Yan Xing, which made Shen Dan jump up and down in anger.

"Why, why?" Shen Dan said dissatisfiedly, "Why do everyone who sees me feel like they have seen a ghost? The people under Yan Ming's subordinates are so kind? Don't we all look alike?"

Yang Qiu let out a hey, looked at Shen Dan, who was five big and three rough, and laughed:
"With the appearance of Yiju, there are not many people who dare to approach."

"Nonsense! Before the handsome young men in our army were gone, they were still frightening. It's normal for them to be bored with expropriating food and grass. Why are they only afraid of me? It's so weird!"

Yan Xing smiled triumphantly and said:
"You don't understand this. I'm looking for young people here. They all want General Han. If you are waiting, you have to go find the old man."

"Why?" Shen Dan asked in surprise.

Guan Ping's face darkened, and he sighed slightly:
"That's right. When those old people were young, they still missed the big man. When they saw you, they were naturally rejoiced and couldn't wait for the big man to return.

But the young and strong here... When they were born, Liangzhou was already in chaos, and the lands in Xiliang were no longer owned by the big Han. The people who can control the overall situation here are either people who rely on the Qianghu like Han Sui, or the local wealthy families. I don't put the big man in my eyes, and think that I can stand on my own as a king in this way, and I don't need to communicate with the big man.

I heard that the ancestors of the Xiongnu and the great Han also have the same origin, and the ancestors of Lu Shuihu even followed King Wu to defeat Zhou.

But they haven't heard of kingship for many years, these people... hey, fortunately we didn't come too late. "

Shen Dan and Yang Qiu looked at each other with complicated expressions.

They also occupied one side, knowing that if time goes by, the people will only know that one side is powerful, and they don't bother to care about what the emperor is.

The big man was gradually shaken because of this, and fell apart for a while.

There was an unspeakable sense of mission in everyone's hearts.

What I said before was all lies, and the war was not for military merit and rewards, but this time everyone really felt a heavy sense of depression.

"Fortunately, we have time. This time... we must take back the homeland for the big man, and we can't delay any longer!"
