"How to retreat?" Zhang Fei glared at Yan Rou and shouted: "If we retreat, won't we give up the natural danger of Tongguan? If they come after us, won't we be seeking death?!"

Zhang Fei just didn't understand. Why retreat if you don't need good natural protection?! You must know that if Han Sui and others bite the tail of this retreat, wouldn't it be doomed?

Yan Rou stood there and looked at Tian Yu with a wry smile. When Tian Yu saw this, he chuckled and said, "Yide doesn't need to worry about this matter. I guarantee that Han Sui and Ma Teng will not be able to pursue you!"

"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me, Lao Zhang?" Zhang Fei's temper was also rising at this moment. He stared at Tian Yu with a pair of bull's eyes, as if he would jump up and start a fight if he disagreed with him.

Tian Yu also knew about Zhang Fei's temper. Seeing Zhang Fei's appearance, he knew that if he didn't tell the matter, the reckless man would not give up easily. After some hesitation, he motioned for Zhang Fei to come over and said softly:

"Empty city..."

...

On the second day, inside Ma Teng’s camp outside Tongguan.

Han Sui hurriedly walked into Ma Teng's camp, looked at Ma Teng who was still lying on the bed, holding a book and reading, and said anxiously: "Can Shoucheng still lie down on the bed?!"

"What do you mean by Wen Yue?!" Ma Teng heard this and was stunned for a moment. Then he put down the book in his hand and asked, "But something happened?!"

"It's a big deal!" Han Suichang let out a long breath, sat on a table near the bed, thought for a while, and said with great shock: "This morning, a scout saw that Tongguan was closed and there was no one guarding it inside or outside.

, it’s like a death trap!”

"There is such a thing, why don't you take the opportunity to win?" Ma Teng was stunned for a moment, and then he looked anxious and wanted to get up, but Han Sui held him down and scolded:

"This matter has not yet been decided! With your reckless temper, you will suffer consequences sooner or later!"

After being scolded by Han Sui, Ma Teng's face turned red and he retreated to the bed sternly: "Then from Wenyue's perspective, could there be some secret to this matter?!"

"Exactly." Han Sui said: "Wu Zhaohou and his generals have always been full of tricks. They have been fighting for it in Tongguan for more than ten days. However, the guards at Tongguan have not been defeated. Today they suddenly opened and closed the door. The situation is so strange.

I’m afraid it’s a scam!”

When Ma Teng heard this, he suddenly lost his voice and said: "What Wen Yue said is very possible!"

"That's why I came to discuss with you for my brother's sake!" Han Sui patted Ma Teng's hand with a worried expression: "Marquis Wu Zhao is not as easy to deal with as those Xiliang Qiang barbarians! You can't be careless, even if you are careless,

It is possible to follow in the footsteps of Han Fu and others!"

Ma Teng took a deep breath, his expression gradually returned to normal, and he said in a solemn voice: "Yun Ye is from a humble background. He is cunning and ruthless by nature. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. His generals are also very capable.

Feng, it is said that Yan Rou was kidnapped by the barbarians when he was young and used as a slave, but later he became a guest of the barbarians. This shows that this person has a deep mind! He is guarding Tongguan, so he has to be careful!"

Han Sui nodded in agreement and said, "Brother, I think so too!"

"If not, let's first send a few soldiers into the city to investigate. What do you think, brother?" Ma Teng unknowingly changed his title to Han Sui.

"Sent!" Han Sui's face darkened and he said: "We sent more than a dozen scouts in succession, but no news came out. It's as if everything has disappeared. Brother Yiwei seems to have already suffered a catastrophe.

!”

Ma Teng's face lit up when he heard this, and he pawed his hands excitedly and analyzed: "Soldiers, this is a trick! If there is no one in the city, I'm afraid Yan Rou used the empty city strategy to ambush the soldiers and horses in a more secret place.

They want to deceive us into entering the city, but now there are people in the city, which proves that I am afraid that Yan Rou has really withdrawn his troops!"

"No, no!"

As soon as Ma Teng finished speaking, a rebuttal voice suddenly came. Yan Zhong suddenly walked in, looked at Ma Teng, shook his head and said, "General, what you said is wrong! Since generals know that, soldiers are also deceitful.

, how could he not know that Yan Rou has been a treacherous person since he was a child? According to my subordinates, I am afraid that there is really an ambush in the city!"

After saying that, he looked at Han Sui and clasped his fists: "I wonder what General Han Sui thinks of what Yan Zhong and his family are saying?"

At this moment, Ma Teng also looked at Han Sui thoughtfully.

Han Sui is a legend in Xiliang. He was famous in Xizhou when he was a child. He was kidnapped by the Qiang and Hu rebels and elected as their leader. In the name of killing the eunuchs, he raised an army to rebel. He gathered a hundred thousand people and defeated Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and other famous generals.

, Therefore, Yan Zhong, a famous scholar here, would consult Han Sui on all his tricks.

Han Sui looked at the two people looking at each other, his brows furrowed inadvertently, he put his hand on the table and tapped it gently. After a long while, he said:

"I also feel that Yan Zhong's words are 70 to 80% likely! After all, it is impossible for Yan Rou to not know the deceitfulness of soldiers and leave such a big flaw! Moreover, in the current battle situation, the opponent has no

Reasons to retreat!"

"That's...that's right!" A look of disappointment flashed across Ma Teng's face and he nodded.

Seeing this scene, Han Sui stood up and patted his sleeves, saying: "In that case, we will not take the initiative to march for the time being. Wait for him for five days. If there is no movement in the pass after five days, we will enter the pass!"

In five days, with so many people, even if they can hide, food, water, etc. are unlikely to be needed. If nothing happens within five days, then it is a real retreat!

Ma Teng and Yan Zhong also understood this truth and nodded without any objection.

...

On the official road from Tongguan to Dayang

Six or seven thousand men and horses dragged a large amount of baggage slowly on the official road. At the front, a flag "Yan" was erected high without any cover.

At this moment, Zhang Fei was lying on a stretcher, holding a piece of rice cake in his mouth, looking around and saying in confusion: "Let me tell you, Yan Rou, you are running away, not moving, why do you carry so much luggage?

If Han Sui and others suddenly catch up, wouldn’t we all die here?!”

"I can't even stop a mouth like yours!" Yan Rou reined up his horse beside Zhang Fei, glanced at Zhang Fei, and said softly: "At least for three days, Han Sui will never come after him! They will enter again after three days.

Tongguan, it is no longer possible to pursue! We are three days ahead, as long as they do not pursue, how can they suffer?!"

"What Yan Rou said is true!" Tian Yu echoed from the side: "Who is Han Sui? People who defeated Huangfu Song in the past are cautious by nature. This empty city strategy is useless against those who are making dangerous moves.

People like Han Sui are the most useful, so you can rest assured!"

"You scribes! You have been scheming and scheming all day long. I feel tired just looking at it. Forget it, let's not talk anymore!" Zhang Fei babbled, shook his sticky hands, and closed his eyes.

Falling asleep!

Upon seeing this, Yan Rou and Tian Yu had a look of helplessness in their eyes. They looked at each other, and Yan Rou spoke as if in a murmur: "I don't know, what's going on over there, my lord!"

Tian Yu turned his head and glanced at Yan Rou, and said: "My lord is not an ordinary person. With Fengxiao, Wenhe and two people beside him, he will be able to go smoothly! Don't worry so much!"

As soon as Tian Yu finished speaking, a scout suddenly rode up from a distance, reined in his horse, turned over, clasped his fists and said, "General, urgent report from the west!"

"Report quickly!" Yan Rou's expression lit up.

"Five days ago, my lord, I led the troops to lure the snake out of its hole. When crossing the Weishui River in the middle of the night, I led the army to defeat the 12,000 defenders of Xinping City. General Yan Xing beheaded the defender Guo Guo. Xia Houyuan, Mao Jie and others escaped.

In the early morning of the next day, he rushed to Wugong without stopping. In order to deceive the city, Wang Zhong shot and killed Wugong guard Cheng Yi at the city gate. The lord led his army to take the opportunity to break through Wugong City. Unexpectedly, Pang De and others escaped and are currently pursuing them.

middle!"

The scout almost finished speaking in one breath, then his head felt dizzy and he fainted. Yan Rou's expression changed unconsciously. She saw that the scout had fainted from exhaustion, so she breathed a sigh of relief and ordered

Said: "Send a doctor to take care of you quickly!"

After saying that, he looked at Tian Yu with a joyful expression: "My lord, this is really unexpected!"

The expedition to two cities in three days was indeed unexpected. Tian Yu had to admit that, just as he was about to speak, he saw a strange smile appear on Yan Rou's expression: "However, in this way, we can't fall too far behind."

Far away! I need to give a big gift to Han Sui and others!"

"you mean?"
