The first year of Jian'an, on New Year's Eve.

In the county town and the military camps outside the city, the atmosphere of the New Year is quite strong, and every household becomes extremely festive, either sticking door couplets, sticking pictures, or hanging red lanterns. The most funny thing is that someone actually pasted the rough paintings of two generals Zhang Fei and Xu Chu on the door panel to drive away disasters and evil spirits.

The dark clouds of war seemed to suddenly dissipate at this moment. Many soldiers sang and danced with the local city people with the permission of Liu Xie, especially some ethnic minorities in Xiliang. Among their tribes, there were many strange dances, such as Yang Pu, a Di tribe who had just defected to Liu Xie.

Of course, the Chinese New Year is over, and the public security work must be done well, especially when these soldiers stayed outside for a month or two, they might treat the sow as a beauty when they met. Therefore, Liu Xie still needs to defend himself in this regard. At the same time, he also has to try to solve the troubles of the soldiers.

Compared with the old Tao, Chen Cang's festive atmosphere is not so strong.

Ma Wan and Yang Qiu were leading their generals to wait for news in Chen Cangya Office. Liu Xie and the others were drinking and having fun, but they didn't have the leisure time at all. In fact, the closer the year is, the more their nerves are, and they are about to collapse.

"Report..."

At this moment, a long shout suddenly came from outside the lobby. Immediately afterwards, a soldier ran in, knelt on one knee, and said with fists: "Report to the general, there is nothing abnormal about the Gudao County and the military camp outside the city, everyone is in a carnival...even..."

"Even what?" Yang Qiu glared. He was in his thirties and looked much older at this time. But his power was still there. As a bandit, they were born as a bandit, the pure natural and pollution-free bandit aura on them could not be easily changed by being a general for a few days.

"Even in Gudao County, many soldiers and the city residents were singing and dancing together, and there was no sign of sending troops."

Yang Qiu and Ma Wan and the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they felt like they were slapped in the face. It seemed that Liu Xie didn't take them seriously at all! Aren't he afraid that they would be angry and rushed forward and catch them off guard?

But this is just thinking about it. Who knows whether Liu Xie did this? Is it just to show them and just wait for them to fall into the trap?

It is precisely because there are too many capable people around Liu Xie that their feelings of worrying about gains and losses become stronger.

"Okay, everyone will leave! The New Year is coming. I believe they won't take advantage of this time to sneak up. But just in case, the patrol team will work harder tonight and double the patrol!" Yang Qiu glanced at Ma and said, "General Ma, why not stay and get drunk with someone?"

Ma Wan looked at Yang Qiu, nodded, turned to order her subordinates, and said, "Go as General Yang ordered! Although it is the New Year, I also think that if they want to send troops, tonight may be the best opportunity!"

"Here!"

After several generals left, Yang Qiu sat down, sighed slightly, and looked at Ma Wan.

Both of them are about the same age. They look in their thirties and have been in chaos. They are finally incorporated by the pseudo court represented by Li Guo of Chang'an, become generals, become marquis, and live a happy life of a sling or a tall, rich and handsome man who turns into super powerful people.

If they had been let go before, they would have been the land emperor of Youfufeng, and even Li and Guo could hardly be dispatched. But now, when they really came over, they realized that their seemingly powerful power was actually really weak.

If Liu Xie hadn't beat Ma Chao up to a point of failure as soon as he came, they would have felt more at ease. But, the general Shenweitian, who was famous in Xiliang, was actually defeated by someone in a battle, so why didn't they make them frightened?

"Brother Ma, there is no one here, Yang asked the truth. Do you think we can stop the attack of Emperor Xiaoxian?" Yang Qiu narrowed his eyes and stared at Ma Wan's face. As long as Ma Wan's face showed any change in expression, he could not escape his observation.

Ma Wan's expression did not change much, but she looked up at Yang Qiu and said, "Brother Yang, please say something bluntly. We are grasshoppers on the same rope. Moreover, Emperor Xiaoxian has another army, which came straight from Baoxi Road and pointed directly at Meixian County. We can defend today, but we can't defend tomorrow... That army can completely restrain the two kings of Li and Guo, and we will definitely not be able to draw troops to support us. As for the others, the far water cannot save the near fire..."

When Yang Qiu heard Ma Wan's words, he felt relieved because he knew very well that he would not even think about it if he wanted Li and Guo to send troops to help them. Chen Dao pointed straight at Meixian County, threatening Xianyang, Chang'an, and how could Li and Guo send troops to support them again?

The other small princes in Guanzhong are fine, but looking at their expressions, they just want to treat them as pawns.

Simply put, several other Guanzhong generals wanted Yang Qiu to play the vanguard with Ma and be cannon fodder. When the two sides fought almost the same, they would collect the corpse and pick up the bargain. This idea cannot be said to be wrong. Nowadays, who will still talk to you about morality! Killing others and fattening yourself is the king.

Otherwise, Liu Xiebing threatened Chen Cang for so long, the generals from several other counties should have sent troops to support him.

"I just asked Brother Ma, can we stop that Emperor Xiaoxian?" Yang Qiu asked seriously.

Ma Wan pondered for a while, finally shook her head, but said, "Although it doesn't work, it's not that easy for that person to take us down!"

"But I can't hold on like this!" Yang Qiu said with a slightly curled lips.

"What should I do according to Brother Yang's opinion?"

"You said, if I am willing to offer the city, what benefits can that person give us?"

"Maybe it is OK to maintain the current title, but it is not that simple to make a name for himself!" Ma Wan had a very good understanding of the generals around Liu Xie. Therefore, he knew very well that it was not easy to do things under Liu Xie's hands and fight against those fierce people.

"It's better than being beaten!"

Ma Wan thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Maybe, we can try this, maybe we can let that person have a good drink!"

"Brother Ma, this is..."

"Brother Yang, to be honest, Ma is unwilling to surrender. He is not as free as I am now when I am now! But if I don't fight him back, the good days I'll wait for will come to an end. Instead of doing this, it's better to fight! If I can get the head of that person, this king or something will be fine!"

"Does Brother Ma want to come out and say 'please fall into the trap'?"

"That's true! Brother Yang thinks this plan?"

Yang Qiu narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "You can try it!" (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
