I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103 Hanhan Prefect: If you have the ability, come over!
Li Heng asked: "What's the problem?"

"Ma Yong, the governor of Longxi, tricked our people into killing them."

Li Heng's face immediately became serious, and Lu Zhi on the side also felt bad, secretly thinking: Why is this Ma Yong so reckless? I wonder if this will have serious consequences!

"Marquis Nanzheng calls you to come over quickly."

"I'll come as soon as I'm ready."

Li Heng got on his horse.

"How does Mr. Li plan to deal with Longxi County?"

"Deal with Longxi County just like Tianshui County."

"Ma Yong is a good person, but he is a bit stubborn." Lu Zhi quickly mounted his horse and followed Li Heng. "If you can persuade him to surrender, you will definitely do something good in the future."

"How to say?"

"He knows how to repay his kindness. When Prime Minister Zhuge came with his troops, all the counties in Longyou surrendered upon hearing the news. The governor of Longxi County You Chu gathered troops to defend. Ma Yong was the one who took the vanguard. He was most grateful to You Chu, so This time I definitely want to die in return!”

"Then do you know that by doing this, he will not only kill himself, but also many people?"

"I know that this better reflects his strong character. If you can convince him, it will be of great use in the future!"

When Lu Zhi said this, Li Heng felt that it made sense.

But Li Heng remained silent and refused to express his position in person. Ma Yong killed the Han envoy. If Ma Yong was not dealt with, how could he explain to the three armies?
Soon, Li Heng arrived at the Tianshui County Prefect's Mansion.

"I see you, General."

"Military advisor, do you know what happened?"

Li Heng said: "I already know."

"We kindly sent people to Xiangwu to persuade him to surrender, but this shameless Wei thief actually killed the envoy!" Wei Yan slammed the table angrily, "I will now lead the army to Xiangwu, defeat Xiangwu, and pass that guy on to the first three armies!"

Li Heng asked, "Where is the envoy's head?"

"The envoy's head is missing," Wei Chang replied.

"How can we determine that the envoy was killed if we don't see his head?"

"The people who came back said it themselves."

"Has anyone come back?"

"Yes."

"No need to say anything else, just get ready!"

Wei Yan was furious and immediately prepared three thousand soldiers and horses to set off from Ji County.

On the seventh day of the fifth lunar month, the Han army arrived at Bidao. Three thousand Han troops were already stationed in Bidao.

This place is only separated from Xiangwu by the Wei River.

On the ninth day of May, five thousand Han troops began to cross the river.

At this time, the Wei army in Xiangwu took the initiative to leave the city, and all three thousand soldiers and horses left the city.

Quickly form a formation on the west side of the Wei River, starting with archers to attack the Han army on the other side of the river.

The Han army was temporarily repelled, and cheers came from the Wei army town.

"Interesting, the morale of this Wei army is extremely strong." Li Heng squinted his eyes and looked ahead.

"That's because those who don't know are fearless." Wei Chang said, "I have heard about Ma Yong. During the Prime Minister's first Northern Expedition, he formed a formation to resist our army in Longxi County. Our army later retreated because of Ma Su's incident. He thought he was Brave."

At this time, Wei Yan had already begun to prepare to divide his troops.

Although it is taboo to divide troops, it depends on what kind of troops they are.

The Han army consisted of 1000 men in one group and 2000 men in another group.

The Wei army was also preparing to divide its forces to block the attack, but its mobility was obviously unable to keep up with the Han army. By the time another group arrived at the river, the Han army was already close to the river bank. A group of crossbow archers from the Han army launched an attack on the Wei army that had not yet formed their formation on the bank. .

Moreover, this Wei army was seriously lacking in armor and had almost no way to withstand crossbow arrows, and was quickly dispersed.

After a thousand Han troops landed, they quickly advanced over and covered another troop to complete the landing.

At this time, the Wei army formed a formation near the river, assuming a posture of fighting to the death with the Han army.

Seeing this, Wei Yan said: "If you dare to resist, you will be killed without mercy!"

"General, please be patient." Li Heng said.

"What's the problem with the military advisor?" "Those are all strong men. It would be a pity to kill them."

"Is there anyone who doesn't kill the enemy in a war?" Wei Yan said coldly.

"General, please listen to what I have to say." Li Heng said, "This place is an important place in Longyou. Going further northwest is Liangzhou. Liangzhou must also be the place where Cao Wei deploys troops. Ten thousand of our troops are marching in from the west. Now that he wants to capture the five counties of Longyou, will Cao Wei give up?"

"The military advisor intends to recruit these people to be used by us?"

"It's the right time to hire people." Li Hengyan said concisely and concisely, "With the recovery of Longyou, our defense line has also been greatly increased."

Wei Yan suddenly felt that it made sense, and his tone softened slightly, and asked: "Does the military advisor have any good strategies for recruiting and surrendering?"

"Ma Yong was in the Wei army's formation. He killed our envoys in order to get us to raise troops to attack. He was on the other side of the river waiting for work. But now he also sees that this is useless. Just tell him that surrendering can save the country. Just the lives of the entire city.”

"He killed the messenger, shall we punish him?"

Li Heng said: "I conclude that he did not kill the envoy, he just detained the envoy."

"how do I say this?"

"He just wants to provoke us and make us come quickly for a decisive battle. He wants to fight along the river. If he wins, it will be a great achievement. If he loses, he will hand over the envoy."

Wei Yan was doubtful and ordered the soldiers to shout.

The soldiers shouted loudly: "Surrender without killing, surrender without killing!"

The heaven and earth echoed with the mighty voice of the Han army.

After a while, a voice rang out from the Wei army: "My sons, we have failed. Tie me up and hand me over. I will spare your lives."

This voice belongs to Ma Yong.

But no one in the Wei army took action.

"If you don't do anything, I'll go out by myself!" Ma Yong continued to shout loudly. He walked to the front of the military formation with a serious face, looked at everyone and said, "We can't win. I don't want to see you die in vain. You were originally The ground is on standby!”

After saying that, Ma Yong walked towards the Han army's formation.

After walking a certain distance, Wei Jun also came over.

"The enemy is about to attack!" Wei Chang immediately became alert.

Li Heng said: "Wait a minute, this doesn't look like an attack."

When Ma Yong walked ten meters, he threw away his sword, took off his armor, and then said calmly: "I am Ma Yong, the governor of Longxi County. I surrender. You must execute me and don't embarrass others."

"Did you kill our envoy?" Li Heng asked.

"The messenger is not dead, he is in the military formation."

"Then why did you detain him?"

"Let you come over quickly and fight!"

Wei Yan and Wei Chang looked at each other, not understanding this logic.

But at the same time, I was also surprised that Li Heng got it right.

Li Heng actually made an inference based on the information provided by Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi spoke highly of Ma Yong, which showed that Ma Yong would never be stupid.

Killing an envoy is a big deal, it will anger the enemy and may lead to the death of many people.

"Do you think you can beat us now that we're here?"

"I thought I could!"

Li Heng asked again: "What now?"

"I can't win!"

This man is so honest!

"Hand over the messenger."

After a while, the envoy walked out of the Wei army and returned to the Han army.

"I, the King of the Han Dynasty, will never kill innocent people indiscriminately." Li Heng said, "If you are willing to surrender, it is naturally very good for you to abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

He looked at Ma Yong. Different from his impression, Ma Yong had a white and fat face. He didn't look like a prefect from the border area, but like a greasy second-generation official in Luoyang City.

At this time, he had already positioned Ma Yong's future use in his mind.
