Ma Chao's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Compared with Guan Yu who besieged him outside, Ma Chao hated Han Sui more. The person who stabbed him in the back was far more hateful than the enemy.
"Brother, why don't I go out to find Guan Yu and see what price it will take to let us retreat." Ma Dai thought for a while and said. He had a friendship with Liu Zhe because he had been guarding Liu Xin for a year, and he believed that this friendship would come in handy.
"it's useless!"
Ma Chao shook his head and disagreed with Ma Dai's opinion, saying: "If Guan Yu had the conditions, he would have put it forward long ago. Now he is just trapping us. He neither attacks the city nor fights. It is clear that he wants to trap us to death." , let us use up all our ammunition and food so that we can surrender to him."
After Ma Chao was trapped in Yunyang County, Guan Yu only besieged the city with a large army, but did not attack the city. When Ma Chao challenged the city to fight, Guan Yu ignored it and hung up the no-war card, leaving Ma Chao helpless.
"Humph, Guan Yu thought he could trap me to death, but little did he know that the food and grass in my hand was enough to feed our 40,000 troops for half a year. It has only been two months now, and there is still a lot of time."
Ma Chao had a lot of food and grass that he extorted from Han Sui, so he didn't have to worry about starving to death in a short time.
After hearing what Ma Chao said, Ma Dai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
However, his actions were discovered by Ma Chao, who asked: "Are you trying to persuade me to surrender?"
Ma Dai looked at Ma Chao in surprise. It was just a small move that Ma Chao noticed. Ma Chao would not have discovered this before. It seems that Ma Chao has changed a lot after being trapped in Yunyang County for more than two months.
"Brother, how did you know?"
Ma Dai does want to persuade Ma Chao to surrender. After all, he has such a friendship with Youzhou. If he surrenders, he believes that this friendship can make Ma Chao live a better life under Liu Zhe.
Otherwise, he can go to Liu Xin for help. As for Liu Xin, during one year of getting along, Ma Dai sincerely trusted her and knew that she would definitely help.
"How can you tell?"
Ma Chao laughed and said: "After you came back from Youzhou, you often mentioned things about Youzhou to me, and I already knew about it. What's more, in Qi County, Guan Yu's people saved you, I can completely understand. "
"Brother, what do you mean?" Since he was seen through, Ma Dai asked directly.
"Qixian County is occupied, and the army outside is besieging the city."
Ma Chao did not directly answer Ma Dai's question, but said to himself: "Although we seem to have enough food, sooner or later we will run out of food, and we will be defeated by then."
"Brother" Ma Dai felt a little excited after hearing Ma Chao's words. Is the eldest brother willing to surrender?
"It's a pity that I can't surrender." Ma Chao said this, which was completely contrary to Ma Dai's guess.
"Why?"
Ma Dai was anxious, he would just wait for death if he continued like this, and said: "Brother, if you surrender to the Taiwei, I believe that the Taiwei will not treat you badly. If nothing else works, I will go find the princess, and she will definitely help."
"you are wrong!"
Ma Chao put his hand on Ma Dai's shoulder and said to him: "It's not that I don't want to surrender, but I can't surrender. My father is still in Xudu. Once I surrender, my father's life will definitely be at risk."
Ma Dai then remembered that Ma Teng was still being held hostage by Cao Cao in Xudu.
"Damn Cao Cao." Ma Dai couldn't help but cursed. If it weren't for Cao Cao, Ma Chao wouldn't have to send troops and wouldn't be in this situation.
Ma Chao said to his cousin: "If you can't hold on anymore, you can surrender with your men. You have a friendship with Princess Ninghe. When the time comes, the lives of my men will depend on you to protect them."
Ma Dai disagreed and said excitedly: "Brother, I want to follow you. Wherever you go, I will go."
¡°I¡¯m going to die, do you want to follow me?¡±
Ma Chao¡¯s tone has improved a lot. He is a little angry. Ma Chao is not a good-tempered person. It¡¯s good to be able to say so much to Ma Dai.
"Yes." Ma Dai nodded seriously without any hesitation.
Ma Dai¡¯s serious expression made Ma Chao suddenly lose his temper.
"never mind!"
Ma Chao gave up and didn't want to talk about this issue anymore. He said, "It's still a long time anyway. Let's think of a way together and see if there is any way to escape."
"Unless Guan Yu withdraws his troops, it will be difficult for us to escape." Ma Dai said with a bitter smile. He understood the strength of Liu Zhe's army. They had an absolute advantage and there was no chance that Ma Chao could escape.
"Play it by ear. "
Ma Chao has no confidence now. Before sending troops, he was a hundred times more confident and thought he could defeat Guan Yu and Liu Zhe. But now it seems that he is just too arrogant.
"Little Lord!"
Suddenly, Pang De broke in from outside and said anxiously to Ma Chao: "Guan Yu's reinforcements are here."
"What?"
This news made Ma Chao's expression change. He couldn't defeat Guan Yu now, so reinforcements were coming? Isn't there no chance at all?
"Go out and have a look."
Ma Chao immediately got out of the tent and rushed to the city wall with Ma Dai Pang De.
Climbing the city wall, smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, flags were like a forest, and the black army was like a black line, extending to the end of the horizon.
"It's Liu Zhe." Ma Dai saw the battle flag and recognized it as Liu Zhe's battle flag.
