The situation of the Dagan Dynasty was getting better and better, but Ma Yuan, who was trapped in Guangxi, had become more and more difficult and even a little tormented.

Now he has been trapped for more than a month. Even though he is still gritting his teeth and persevering, he knows that the chances of Annan people entering are very slim.

As time went by, Cao Wenkai led the Shenji Camp back to the army and surrounded Chongzuo County to death, Ma Yuan realized that the situation was hopeless.

In the county town, Sun Changbo found Ma Yuan and said bitterly: "Sir, tens of thousands of troops of the imperial court returned, which means the end of the war in Annan. We..."

Speaking of this, Sun Changbo was not speaking, but the meaning was very obvious.

After all, the small Chongzuo County was besieged by an army of 70,000 to 80,000, and could not escape.

"The situation is hopeless, the situation is hopeless!"

Ma Yuan looked a little dull because he never dreamed that the Annan people would be over so soon, and the court sent an army of 70,000 to 80,000 to wipe him out.

In this way, his previous thoughts would not work.

After all, there are not many rebels and even fewer elite troops. There is almost no hope of breaking out in front of so many soldiers.

"Sir, just surrender and let it be done!"

Sun Changbo carefully made suggestions, because there was no hope of breaking through, the food and grass in Chongzuo County had been consumed, and if he did not surrender, there would be a dead end.

"no!"

Ma Yuan refused without hesitation. He knew that if he surrendered, he would definitely not be active.

"But the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted, and we have no ability to break through..."

Sun Changbo wanted to persuade him, but Ma Yuan's face turned cold and he said hatefully: "I have a way to break through!"

He paused: "Please the people in the city onto the walls, send letters to the officials and soldiers outside the city, telling them to make way and let us go, otherwise I will massacre the people in the city."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Changbo suddenly changed his color, and he looked at Ma Yuan's gaze and showed some disbelief.

This method of using the people to threaten them often occurs, but this situation occurs in hostile countries.

Although they are rebels, they are natives. If they do so, their reputation will definitely be inaudible.

"Sir, if you do this, you will destroy yourself!"

To threaten the people, even if they escape for a while, it will only delay the time of destruction.

After all, when the news spread, everyone must be beating Ma Yuan and others.

"The brows are burning, let's take a look at the front of you first!"

Ma Yuan no longer cared about the future, and he would be grateful to have escaped this disaster.

"grown ups!"

Sun Changbo was still trying to persuade him, but Ma Yuan was unwilling to listen and said coldly: "Do what I said."

"promise!"

Although he spoke up, Sun Changbo's eyes were a little cold.

An hour later, a large number of people were pushed to the city wall and shivered under the swords of the rebels.

But the situation is a bit subtle, because most of the rebels are from Guangxi, and some are from locals, and they are very dissatisfied with this approach.

If Ma Yuan hadn't been stupid, he would have caused a mutiny if he hadn't moved his relatives and friends of the rebels.

Outside the city, looking at the large number of people being taken to the city wall and the letters sent by Ma Yuan, Cao Wenkai's face was covered with ashen color.

It was because of the concerns about casualties, and the victory was decided and the court had sufficient food and supplies, so Cao Wenkai surrounded Chongzuo County without attacking it.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yuan actually used this method, which put him in a dilemma.

“It’s really inhuman.”

Chen Fu, who was beside him, cursing, his tone full of anger.

"General Chen Shen, how should you deal with this?"

It is definitely a great sin to let Ma Yuan go, after all, this person is on He Yuansheng's blacklist.

But the life and death of tens of thousands of people cannot be ignored, otherwise they will have failed.

So Cao Wenkai was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

This is because he has too much thoughts and has just surrendered for a while, and he is worried that something will happen and he will lose all his power.

"Ten thousand people cannot give up for nothing!"

Compared with Cao Wenkai, Chen Fu has less scruples and has made a direct statement.

After all, as a direct descendant, he is not afraid of making mistakes, as long as it is not an unforgivable crime.

"Then do you have to agree to Ma Yuan's conditions?"

Cao Wenkai's tone was a bit tempting because he wanted to pull Chen Fu and take responsibility together.

If he hadn't been the general of Shenji Camp, he would have pushed the matter directly to Chen Fu in the war here.

"Promise him, and then we follow him and chase him, and we may not be able to catch him!"

Chen Fu didn't think much about it and quickly gave his own opinions.

Because Chen Fu felt that even if Ma Yuan was asked to leave, he would not go far, and the official army could arrange it in advance and then close the net.

"Just do as General Chen Shen wants!"

No matter how you do this, you will make mistakes, so Cao Wenkai will follow Chen Fu's advice, because of this, the two of them are tied together.

Chen Fu is not old and has less experience. He didn't guess Cao Wenkai's thoughts and immediately spoke: "General Cao, then we have to make arrangements in advance!"

Cao Wenkai nodded immediately, and after some discussion, he sent more than 10,000 troops to block all roads within a radius of thirty miles.

Just as he was ready, Ma Yuan appeared on the top of the city wall and whispered loudly: "Cao Wenkai, what are you thinking? Should you give way?"

Ma Yuan knew Cao Wenkai, after all, they were both generals of the same province and had met several years ago.

"If you let the innocent people go, I will let you go!"

Cao Wenkai rushed forward and responded.

"Hahaha……"

Ma Yuan laughed for a long time and shouted again: "Let your people retreat ten miles. As long as we leave, we will not touch the people at all."

Cao Wenkai did not say much, but returned to the formation and ordered the army to retreat slowly.

But before the official army could retreat, riots broke out in the city.

I saw Sun Changbo attacking Ma Yuan and his direct lineage with his troops.

"Sun Changbo, what are you going to do?"

Ma Yuan was furious and did not expect Sun Changbo to betray him.

"The innocent people are already pressing each other, Sun is ashamed of you!"

After saying that, he continued to attack and shouted loudly: "Ma Yuan did a rebellious manner, and he was connected with foreign enemies, but he also killed innocent people. He was worse than beasts. All the soldiers, join me to resist him..."

When the imperial army besieged the city, most people understood that the situation was hopeless, and using the people as hostages made Ma Yuan lose the hearts of the people, so many people directly rebelled and joined Sun Changbo's team.

However, there are more than a thousand direct descendants around Ma Yuan, and Sun Changbo cannot solve these people in a short time.

When the two sides were fighting, Cao Wenkai under the city had seized the opportunity and ordered the army to attack the city.

After all, at this time, I no longer care about the other person.

Chongzuo County is just a small county town, and now it is in internal struggle, so the imperial army, with just one charge, broke through the city.

The army entered the city and the situation was quickly calmed down. In just one hour, Ma Yuan knelt in front of Cao Wenkai.

"General Ma, you've caught you!"

Cao Wenkai spoke, and the expression on his face was also a bit cold.

Because of this incident, Cao Wenkai was very angry and naturally he had to settle the score with the culprit.

"Hmph, if you want to kill and cut, you will be all right!"

At this time, Ma Yuan knew that he was finished, so he did not beg for mercy.

"You are the chief criminal chosen by Changning Hou. How dare I kill you?"

Then the topic changed: "I will not only not kill you, but will also take good care of you."

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered his personal soldiers: "Take General Ma down and serve him well, but don't let him die."

These meaningful words were obviously malicious, and Ma Yuan was immediately angry: "The surname is Cao, and the scholar can be killed, but not humiliated, you..."

But no one paid attention to his shouting. Several personal soldiers quickly pulled him down, locked him up in a small dark room, and began to torture him.

Outsiders don’t know what the situation is inside, but only those screams represent Ma Yuan’s situation, which must be very difficult.

After dealing with Ma Yuan, Cao Wenkai focused his attention on Sun Changbo.

"It is also a merit to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but you have to follow Ma Yuan to rebel, and you have to decide what to do about it!"

These words made Sun Changbo feel relieved. Although he could not stand Ma Yuan's actions when he did this, he also had the idea of ​​seeking vitality.
