The Chu army in Mei County only had half of its troops, that is, a large army of 60,000. Most of the remaining ones were injured, and those who were not injured were extremely tired. Kou Feng asked Zhang Fei, Deng Ai, Chen Da and others to lead 20,000 troops to guard the city or pass at one time.

It was really tighter. It took Zhang Fei and the other two to select the soldiers, reorganize them, and lead their troops eastward.

Afterwards, Pang Tong first sent someone to inform Fa Zheng to assemble the army according to Kou Feng's order. Then, he ordered Xiang Chong, Ma Su, Xu Sheng and others under the tent to reorganize the army and start recuperation.

In this battle, the Chu army basically had no gains except for defeating the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and letting Ma Teng escape. Because Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Yan Xing and others escaped, there were almost no prisoners.

However, he has mastered the situation of the whole world, which is an invisible and huge gain.

To the northwest, on the edge of the Yellow River, there is a small city called Changku, which is not big, with only a few thousand people. However, this city has now become the best place for Ma Teng's remaining soldiers.

At this moment, Ma Teng's army had all entered the city.

In the city, Ma Teng, the county magistrate's government official, sat on the upper seat, and below were Ma Chao, Yan Xing and Pang De.

None of the four people's faces were normal, they were all very gloomy. In the gloomy, there was also anxiety about the future.

Even though he was as strong as Ma Chao and Yan Xing, these two were famous generals in the northwest, and they were both bravest and the army. Ma Chao was even the later general of Shu.

But at this moment, I also felt fear.

Especially Ma Chao, who instigated Ma Teng to establish the country in front and asked to lead troops to resist Chu. He was self-reliant and had many soldiers and generals. But now, the Qin army was defeated twice by Kou Ban.

The Western Liang Iron Cavalry had already lost more than half of the previous war, and now their infantry consumed more than half of the time. The cavalry suffered a lot of losses, and what is even more rare is that they had no foreign aid.

Since then, the Wei State also lost Cao Hong, and the army suffered a total of 80,000 troops of tiger, leopard cavalry, infantry, and ordinary cavalry. What is left in the Wei State?

Ma Chao felt a little afraid of the battle for the world for the first time.

"Father, how should we go next?" To be honest, in the past, Ma Chao hesitated about Ma Teng and gradually grew old, he looked down on him, but now he is like a drowning person, grabbing the last straw, hoping that Ma Teng can make a decision.

"Now, Chao'er still wants to compete with Kou Feng for power?" Ma Teng did not answer immediately, but asked.

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, then immediately shook his head and said, "No matter how arrogant the child is, he will not dare to lead his troops to compete with Kou Feng at this time."

But I'm really a little timid.

"Okay. Those who are generals must be afraid. They cannot just show off their courage. It is best to supplement them with wisdom. Only in this way can they be truly called a famous general. Now Chao'er has fear in her heart and her future is unlimited."

Ma Chao's loss of ambition not only did not disappoint Ma Teng, but he said happily.

This son has always been Ma Teng's pride, but he was also vaguely worried in his heart that the strong Ma Chao might not be able to defeat the powerful princes, such as Cao Cao, Kou Feng and others, and even Han Sui could defeat Ma Chao in conspiracy.

If Ma Chao relied on his bravery to conquer the world after his death, the ending might be that he died and his clan was destroyed. Now, he is afraid and willing to admit his failure and fail to defeat Kou Feng.

In this way, although the country cannot be preserved, their Ma family should be able to be healthy.

Ma Teng's happiness also faintly exuded some smell. That is, Ma Teng is determined to surrender. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to be happy that Ma Chao no longer relies on his courage.

This made Pang De and Yan Xing think deeply.

Ma Teng also looked at Pang De. Yan Xing, Pang De was fine. He was his family and a loyal person. Pang De would follow whatever he did.

But Yan Xing was Han Sui's son-in-law. Now Han Sui is outside Wuwei City, thousands of miles away, within the Qiang camp.

Yan Xing and Ma Tengjun had a very obvious gap.

"What does it mean more than General Yan?" Ma Teng tentatively said, and murderous intent flashed in his heart. If Yan Xing followed, it would be fine. If he did not follow, he would be killed on the spot.

Although Yan Xing was Han Sui's son-in-law and was quite loyal, he would not be able to become an enemy of Kou Feng when the situation was all directed to Jingchu.

After thinking for a while, he immediately said, "It is up to the Lord of Qin to surrender and resist, it is up to the Lord of Qin."

Yan Xing was quite clever and ambiguous, but he just asked Ma Teng to make the decision. What if he was wrong? This is an early injection.

Ma Teng was very appreciative and nodded and said, "Today, Kou Feng's advantage is too obvious, so I decided to go to **'s house."

"The Qin Lord is wise."

Seeing that Ma Teng clearly expressed his desire to surrender, Yan Xing felt relieved and said in his consent.

"What kind of wisdom is just to know the current affairs." Ma Teng smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Father, why do you have to lead your troops to defend yourself? "Ma Chao asked with some confusion.

"If we surrender in the defeated army, we will be in a mess and have a little contribution. At this moment, we will be struggling with soldiers and rest our soldiers, and we will still have the power to fight again. If we surrender at this time, we will be much more successful. Now that the family and country are no longer preserved, I must also consider the Ma family."

Ma Teng thought ingeniously that he didn't even want Gu to claim that he was, so he changed himself to claim that he was old.

Ma Chao, Pang De and Yan Xing suddenly realized that this was the case, and admired Ma Teng's crafty and in his heart.

"Anyway, that's it. You guys go down and rest the soldiers and organize them. Even if you surrender, you can't be confused." Ma Teng said.

"What about the food problem?" Ma Chao asked. When they came out, they were in a mess and only brought their soldiers back, leaving their supplies lost.

"Let's call the people in the city first, but you have to speak kindly, just say that the State of Chu has come to this point. I am willing to surrender, just waiting for the opportunity to ask them to provide some food. The Emperor Chu of Emperor Kou Fenghui will return it later."

At this point, Ma Teng also takes peace as a priority. If he had not cared about these things in the past, he would have forced the recruitment of food.

"promise."

Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing agreed and immediately turned around and went to do things.

"It's no wonder that going to **'s house is a blessing." After the three of them left, Ma Teng was stunned for a long time, and finally smiled slightly and said.

At the beginning, he gradually felt that he was old and his ambition was gone. He did not have the intention to raise an army to fight for hegemony. It was just that Ma Chao was brave and energetic that he resigned from his son.

Later, his ambitions grew. Even if Ma Chao was defeated, he still raised an army with Cao Hong to attack Mei County. When he was in Mei County, he still wanted to capture Kou Feng alive, occupy Liangzhou, and expand the power of Qin.

It can be said that he is blind and arrogant, but now all reason has returned.

Ma Teng knew that he had lost his power and status, but he had saved his whole family and the Ma family, which was also a blessing.

Therefore, Ma Teng's heart was more relaxed than the bitterness of failure at this moment.

"Father, the army has re-counted, and there are more than 68,100 wounded soldiers." Not long after, Ma Chao came back and reported.

"Sixty-eight thousand one hundred people."

After hearing this number, Ma Teng took a breath and said.

They retreated with discipline, and there were very few soldiers who had scattered and fled without knowing where to go. In other words, when they set out, the army of 180,000 died outside the town of Mei County, and the losses of the Chu army were more than 110,000.

Nearly 200,000 were buried in one go. Except for a powerful general like Bai Qi, anyone who hears this number will take a breath of air conditioning.

"Divid it into three divisions and leave it to you three to take charge. When the Chu army heads north, we will surrender again." Ma Teng calmed down a little in his heart and ordered.

"No." Ma Chao responded to the promise, turned around and walked out again.

"How long will it take?" Ma Teng looked forward and said in his heart. With the intuition of a veteran, Ma Teng dared to conclude that Kou Feng would solve his worries, that is, the Qiang tribe would raise an army to fight Cao Cao.

This is not a speculation without credentials, but a judgment based on Kou Feng's own coldness about the alien race.

That person, Kou Feng, would not allow the Qiang people to occupy Xiliang.

Mei County.

After ten days of rest, most of the Chu army had recovered. After all, they were all strong soldiers, and their recovery ability was still very strong without war.

The rest are seriously injured, either broken hands, broken arms, or wound lesions.

In the prefect's mansion, Kou Fenggao sat on the imperial throne, and below were Pang Tong, Xu Sheng, Xiang Chong, Ma Su and others.

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 38,000 soldiers in the town of Ji County who can follow the army." Pang Tong reported to Kou Feng.

"Thirty-eight thousand people."

Although he was prepared in his heart, Kou Feng still sighed after hearing this number. Although he won this battle, more than half of the 120,000 troops were buried outside the city.

After all, he has experienced many battles and has seen countless lives and deaths. Kou Feng quickly put away the sigh in his heart and nodded, "This army will be given to the sergeant for the time being. The army will go north to Xiliang tomorrow."

"No." Pang Tong responded to the promise and said.

The problems themselves are almost done. After all, the Chu army is strong, and some subsequent supplies and food problems are abundant.

Next, it is naturally an external problem.

Zhang Fei, Deng Ai and Chen Da went east with 20,000 elite troops. At this time, Chen Da had already captured Chang'an. Deng Ai and Zhang Fei had led their troops through Tongguan and went to Sili.

It is estimated that Zhang Fei's ten thousand elite soldiers are now stationed in Hulao Pass, just waiting for the news to come.

In other words, now there is only one problem with Ma Teng. We are always suffering and we are replenishing our energy. This is worth exploring.

Kou Feng's eyes flashed, and he had some speculation in his heart.

Old fox.
