"General Pang was unstoppable all the way and chased the defeated army for 500 miles overnight.
However, when he attacked the city of Wuwei, he fell into the trap of Gai Xun, the prefect of Wuwei.
He was trapped under the city of Wuwei by Gai Xun and Cheng Yi, and was in danger."
Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and everyone was also in disbelief.
Although Pang De's previous plan was not too subtle, it was still unexpected, and the strategy of taking the lead overnight was a good opportunity to pursue the victory.
But the situation of the war suddenly deteriorated, which was extremely shocking.
This time Pang De sent out troops.
Although there were only more than 25,000 troops, the soldiers were not as good as Ma Chao.
But it is also equipped with well-equipped Ma family cavalry and infantry who have fought a hundred battles.
Even if they encounter Han Sui's 50,000 elite Liangzhou army, they are still capable of fighting.
However, they were defeated so quickly overnight, Ma Chao couldn't help but think of a possibility: the enemy was defeated deliberately to lure Pang De into the enemy alone.
After a moment of reaction, Ma Chao calmed down.
The more he was in this situation, the calmer he became and asked: "You just said that Gai Xun, the prefect of Wuwei, defeated Pang De" "Yes, it's this person."
After the scout knelt down and said, he saw Ma Chao's increasingly indifferent look and couldn't help but beg: "My lord, General Pang is in danger, you must send troops to rescue him."
"Of course we have to save him," Ma Chao comforted this loyal man first, and then said: "Tell me carefully how Pang De fell into Gai Xun's plan.
Why does this name sound so familiar to me?
" Before the scout could speak, Xun You on the side had already answered: "My lord, of course he sounds familiar, because this person has sent a letter of surrender to the Ma family before and even sent troops to fight Cheng Yi.
I think General Pang must also know about this."
That's why I easily fell into Gai Xun's plan."
"Gaixun" Ma Chao murmured this person's name, and naturally recalled this person's history and life in his mind.
Gai Xun, courtesy name Yuan Gu, was born in Guangzhi County, Dunhuang County.
He was born into a family of officials for generations and was a well-known upright official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
In ancient times, when people were determined to achieve their goals, most of them focused on personal conduct.
Therefore, the deeds that remain in history are only a few words.
The most numerous are his deeds of doing good to his parents and paying attention to his own integrity and moral cultivation.
Among them, he ignored personal grievances and refused to take the opportunity to harm the Liangzhou governor to engage in Su Zheng's affairs, which was specially written down.
But Ma Chao knew that this person was definitely not just an upright official, but also a man of both civil and military skills.
As early as the period of Emperor Ling, he led the army to rescue Xia Yu, the then captain of the Qiang Guard.
Later, he held a post under Huangfu Song.
When Sun Jian persuaded Huangfu Song to kill Dong Zhuo, Gai Xun supported him with his advice.
It can be seen from this that Gai Xun is by no means an ordinary person.
"When our army attacked Wuwei, Gai Xun pretended to surrender.
The situation was much worse along the way.
General Pang also knew that Gai Xun had secretly communicated with the Ma family and attacked Cheng Yi earlier, so he didn't care about it.
But when he entered the city, , General Pang accidentally discovered that there was an ambush hidden at the top of the city, and Gai Xun At this time, he shouted for meritorious service by killing the thieves.
Suddenly, all the troops in ambush at the top of the city came out.
When General Pang hurriedly ordered the troops to retreat, he was hit by two arrows in the chest.
Fortunately, the chain armor stopped him and the wounds were not serious.
Yi's defeated army came out from behind again, and our army did not dare to stay, so we had to retreat."
With a bang, Ma Chao ignored the pain in his left arm and smashed the table next to him with one palm, and said angrily: "What on earth are Fa Xiaozhi, Xu Yuanzhi, and Hua Ziyu doing?
The enemy is planning this step by step.
Are the three of them just the same?"
Didn’t notice anything strange at all” Seeing that Ma Chao was furious, the scout fell to the ground in fear.
Later, as if he thought of something, he heard Xun You ask again: "How many casualties have our troops had and where are they currently stationed?"
"Now General Pang is on the right side of Bingtun Long.

He is surrounded by a heavy siege.
He has less than five thousand soldiers and many wounded.
Because General Pang is injured, he dare not break out of the city and only waits for reinforcements from the lord."
The scout replied, presumably to those who Pao Ze, who died in vain, also held a lot of resentment.
"One battle, just one battle."
After hearing this, Ma Chao's face turned gloomy with anger, and the wound on his left arm was soaked with blood due to the previous exertion: "In one battle, more than 20,000 horsemen of the Ma family were destroyed.
Even if De, Fazheng, Xu Shu, and Hua Xin rescue you, I will never spare you lightly."
"No, that's not true."
The scout listened to Ma Chao's words.
Even though he was suppressed by Ma Chao's momentum and did not dare to speak loudly, he still mustered up the courage to argue: "My Lord, we did not lose more than 20,000 cavalry, but we were scattered by thousands of cavalry. .
Presumably, after learning about General Pang's garrison in Longyou, one or two thousand people will come back."
"Yeah" Ma Chao was stunned.
He didn't understand the meaning of the scout's mouth at all.
The scout also realized that he had misunderstood Ma Chao, and quickly explained: "General Pang pursued all the way, but also felt that this matter was too strange.
Military advisors Xu and Military Advisor Hua also repeatedly reminded the general not to be careless, so the general had 10,000 infantrymen to hand over.
Led by General Wei, General Li, General Ma, and General Zhang, Military Advisor Xu and Military Advisor Hua were ordered to serve as staff.
At this time, they should be on the way to rescue General Pang."
"That is to say, when Pound was chasing after him, he was all Ma's cavalry for speed."
Ma Chao understood now, but at the same time, he looked even more annoyed.
Because he thought that it was not Gai Xun and Cheng Yi who caused this fiasco, but Fazheng.
Fazheng was young and energetic, and seeing how many talented people there were in the Ma family, he couldn't help but get motivated to win.
Therefore, he had previously set up a plan to confuse the enemy.
When the enemy was defeated, he was greedy for great achievements and encouraged Pound's Qingqi to advance rashly.
This made Pound fall into the enemy's plan and was defeated at the gate of Wuwei City.
Is the factional war showing its signs at this time?
In other words, Fa Zheng, a competitive person, is destined to be a cancer that will cause internal conflicts.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Ma Chao couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth several times.
At this time, Guo Jia, Xun You, Yang Fu, and Yang Xiu had all guessed why Ma Chao was angry.
Seeing that the three of them were still hesitating about how to persuade him, Guo Jia took a step forward and said, "There is no need to worry about Meng Qi.
He is filial, upright, resourceful, and has a strong personality.
In addition, he is only seventeen years old.
After this defeat, he will surely achieve more in the future."
Extraordinary.
The important thing at this time is how to solve the defeat in Liangzhou."
As soon as Guo Jia said this, Ma Chao's mood eased slightly.
After calmly sitting down again, he set his sights on the map of the army, pointed at Longyou, and said: "Although Pang De was defeated, the main force is still there, and more With good generals and counselors as backup, we can have some relief now.
The most important thing now is to find out the inside story of the dramatic changes in Liangzhou, turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop, and capture Liangzhou completely."
At that moment, Ma Chao told everyone what Lao Zhang said about Liang Dao.
After the four people heard this, their expressions were all downcast.
Apparently, they also saw that there were many inside stories about the drastic changes in Liangzhou that they didn't know.
After a long time, Guo Jia stepped forward, first asked the scout to step back, and then said: "It is both bright and dark, this is the time to test the Ma family.
And some premonitions earlier, I never thought, have come true today, Jia.
Now I am more interested in the person behind the scenes.”
"Brother, if you have any good ideas, just speak up."

After hearing Guo Jia's words, Ma Chao obviously felt that Guo Jia had a plan in mind, so he couldn't help but ask.
"We don't have to guess who the man behind the scenes is.
We just need to know his purpose for doing all this."
When Guo Jia said this, he looked at Ma Chao with gleaming eyes, and finally raised his finger and said: " Just to plot against the master."
Ma Chao's eyes flashed, and he followed Guo Jia's guidance in his mind.
He began to think and said tentatively: "Pang De is trapped in Longyou, but the enemy army only surrounds him without quickly swallowing him up.
It must be to lure me to the bait for rescue.
And if our army leaves lightly, Longxi County will definitely not be protected.
If we lose sight of one thing and lose the other, the enemy will be able to slaughter me calmly."
"Since we know the enemy's intentions, why not do the opposite?"
Xun You also saw the key.
He looked at Ma Chao and said, "My lord, can you go into danger alone this time?"
At this time, Ma Chao had already figured out everyone's tricks, and couldn't help laughing and said: "Being born in troubled times, princes are always in danger.
Using yourself as a bait is exactly what Chao wants.
I want to see what's going on behind the scenes.
Who is the person who made the arrangements at all levels?"
s: To answer what Li Gang just said, three of my friends are getting married in Laba in the next two days, and Yinqiu is going to help.
