Chapter 372
After Ma Dai led the remnants back to the camp, he did not go to the marshal account to hand over the order, but directly returned to his own camp tent.
Today's siege of the city, he was very unhappy in his heart. Whether it was the death of the soldiers on his side or the death of the Han army, he felt heartache.
He has persuaded his eldest brother Ma Chao twice, it can be said that he knows the reason, moves with affection, and Ma Chao's ambition has finally begun to loosen.
This chasing the deer in the Central Plains and competing for domination of the world is indeed not something that Ma Chao can do. Lü Bu was so brave at that time, and the wolf trail of the state, invincible in the world, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other eight Jian generals are also famous generals in the world, and Chen Gong is resourceful, but isn't it also defeated? And the other princes were not powerful at that time.
But now, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and King Han, which one is weak? Ma Chao's command did not have a single general available at all except him and Pound. There are only 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers, and there is no city, how to dominate the world? The only thing that relied on was the reputation of the Fubo general Ma Yuan, which was Ma Chao's little prestige among the people of Western Liang. But these, in the face of strong strength, are worthless at all.
However, he really could not have imagined that today Ma Chao would force him and Pound to attack the city. The city of Chengdu was solid, and this strong attack was only a vain loss of soldiers' lives. Both of them persuaded Ma Chao bitterly, but Ma Chao was extremely stubborn, and as a result, nearly 5,000 soldiers were killed and injured, and their morale plummeted.
"General, General Pound asks for a meeting!" Just when Ma Dai was extremely bored, the soldier reported.
"Let General Pang in!"
"No!"
Pound came in and looked at Ma Dai, did not speak, but sat aside.
"Ling Ming, is there something wrong?" Ma Dai asked.
"Bo Zhan, you didn't go to the handsome tent, worried that something would happen to you, I'll come and take a look!"
"Ling Ming, you said that the eldest brother knew that attacking the city was just a loss of soldiers' lives in vain, but why did he have to do this?" Ma Dai's full anger finally erupted like a volcano, "That's five thousand soldiers, how many soldiers do we have left now?" Is it really like Nanwang Meng Yu, who will fight all the soldiers and then let others slaughter them?
"Bo Zhan, did you blame the general for today?" Pound listened to Ma Dai's words and said calmly.
"What, blame him?" Ma Dai sneered a few times, "Could it be that I was wrong? Is he all right?
"Bo Zhan, the general's ambition is to recapture Western Liang, but if he wants to recapture Western Liang, how can he not have soldiers and horses? We only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, how can we withstand such a toss? Such a simple truth, can it be said that the general does not understand?
"This..." Ma Dai listened to what Pound said, and after thinking about it, it did make sense. And since Ma Chao arrived here, he has always preserved his strength, and has never taken the initiative to fight, in the final analysis, their foundation is too thin to withstand the toss.
"Didn't you see Zhang Fei and Guan Yu next to the general?" Pound continued, "The two of them were never here to help us, but the overseers sent by Liu Bei. There was also that vulture bone, he also had bad intentions, and his three thousand vine armor army was gathered not far away. If we don't storm today, the consequences could be quite serious. Ma
Dai completely calmed down at this time, he thought about it, and this was indeed the case at that time. He originally thought that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were here to help attack the city.
"Bo Zhan, are you secretly in contact with King Han?"
"Yes, I have told my eldest brother, I just want to leave us a way back!" Ma Dai was going to tell Pound, but had not yet found a suitable opportunity.
"What did the general say?"
"He said think again!" Ma Dai did not intend to hide it from Pound, "What is Ling Ming's opinion on this matter?"
"King Han is the lord of the world and a royal clan relative, and his identity is more correct than Liu Bei. Coupled with his young age, he is very likely to dominate the world in the future. Therefore, surrendering to the King of Han is our only way out! Pound had actually been thinking about this for a long time, "It's just that the general can't forget to dominate the world!"
"Ling Ming, we can't watch our eldest brother go his own way and go to a dead end!"
"What does Bojan mean?"
"We force the eldest brother to surrender to the King of Han!"
"Maybe we have Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops behind us, and there are three thousand vine armor troops next to us with vulture bones, if we start an incident, we will soon be surrounded. I'm afraid that before the Han army goes out of the city to meet us, we will be hanged!"
"Ling Ming is right, so we must have a thorough plan and not act rashly!" Ma Dai had long thought about this problem, "We have to persuade the eldest brother while gradually mastering the army, and then surround and annihilate the three thousand vine armor army of the vulture bone with lightning speed!" At the same time, he got in touch with the Han army in the city, and merged inside and outside, breaking Liu Bei's joint camp.
"Okay, then let's persuade the general first!" Pound nodded, "However, this matter must be kept secret, Liu Bei has always distrusted us, so there may be spies in our army." "
I'll be careful!"
So, Pound and Ma Dai discussed again, and began to act separately.
That night, Ma Dai came to Ma Chao's handsome tent again.
"Bo Zhan, are you coming to persuade me to surrender again?" Ma Chao saw Ma Dai and asked directly.
"Big brother, are there any other options?" Ma Dai also said bluntly, "Since the eldest brother rejected Liu Bei's marriage, Liu Bei no longer believed in the eldest brother.
"Actually, Liu Bei has never believed me, even if he doesn't even marry." I also didn't believe Liu Bei, we just cooperated, or just used each other! Ma Chao smiled and said.
"The usable value is getting smaller and smaller, if like Meng Yu, the soldiers and horses are all damaged, I am afraid that Liu Bei will not be willing to keep us!"
"Bo Zhan, what does Liu Bei want to do, I naturally know that today's siege of the city, I am also forced to helpless, the three thousand vine armor army of the vulture bone is very powerful, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's 10,000 soldiers and horses are also looking at the tiger. But even if you want to join the King of Han now, I'm afraid it won't be easy!
"Big brother, as long as you are willing to defect to King Han, we will always have a way!" Hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Dai suddenly became happy.
"So Bo Zhan has long been in contact with King Han?" Ma Chao suddenly stared into Ma Dai's eyes and asked.
"Yes, I do have a connection with King Han!" Ma Dai's face was very calm, and he appeared very calm, "Everything I do is for our Ma family, and I will never exchange the interests of our Ma family." "
Ha..." Ma Chao suddenly laughed a few times, "Why did Bo Zhan say this, how can I not believe you?" We are brothers!
"What does that big brother mean?"
"You and King Han continue to liaise with each other, and we have to have a careful plan. Since you want to defect to the King of Han, you must break Liu Bei's joint camp, otherwise you will be looked down upon by the generals of the Han army, do you understand?
"Okay, big brother, I will definitely do as you are told!" Ma Dai said excitedly.
