"Wen Ze, tell me your reasons?"

Han Sui said excitedly.

Accompanied by Han Sui's words.

Liang Xing and the other two also turned their gazes towards the candidate.

The candidate said faintly:

"My reason is very simple. If we don't even see Cao Zhi's army, we should surrender immediately!"

"This will certainly prevent us from clashing with Cao Zhi, which is a great joy for Cao Zhi, but it will be a huge loss for us!"

"If we surrender without a fight, they will think we are not strong enough. Without strength, we will definitely not be taken seriously by Cao Cao and his son!"

"How much benefit can a person who is not valued get from Cao Cao?"

"My lord, you are at most a General of Si'an. As for the four of us, I'm afraid we can't even get the rank of General of Siping. You've sent us away with just a miscellaneous general!"

"Everyone, we started our army in Liang Province and conquered all the way. We have shed so much blood and sweat to reach our current position. Are you really willing to be a General of Si'an and a General of Miscellaneous Title?"

The candidate's voice is not loud.

But his voice is thought-provoking.

Upon hearing this, Han Sui and the others fell silent.

"I'm not willing to accept it, so what?"

"With our current strength, we are no match for Cao Zhi!"

"You are not my opponent, but you force yourself to be my enemy. Isn't that courting death?"

After a moment, Liang Xing roared.

At this point, he no longer cared about Han Sui's face.

After all, what the candidate says at this moment is related to the vital interests of everyone in the room.

Although Liang Xing's words were unpleasant to hear.

But it reminded Han Sui and others.

The ambitions that had just risen up in Han Sui and his companions shrank back in an instant.

"Yeah, so what if you're unwilling! Can you beat Cao Zhi? It's better to live in humiliation than to die in cowardice. At least this humiliation can buy you food and clothing for the rest of your life!" Everyone thought to themselves.

As soon as they thought of this, everyone's eyes turned to the candidate again.

"When did I say we were going to fight Cao Zhi to the death?"

The candidate spread his hands.

"What I mean is, we should first demonstrate our full strength to fight against Cao Zhi. It would be best if we could completely defeat Cao Zhi's army. After he sees how powerful we are, we can then surrender to him. This way, we can both demonstrate our skills and give Cao Zhi enough face!"

"At that time, if they wanted to surrender us, the price would not be the same as it is now!"

"If nothing else, the lord is at least a General of the Four Expeditions, and you and I are at least Generals of the Four Levels. If there's a chance, we can even be granted the rank of Marquis!"

The candidate laughed.

"Four Generals of the Expedition, Four Generals of the Peace, Marquises!!!"

As soon as the candidate said this.

The eyes of everyone in the room lit up instantly.

Although no one spoke.

But heavy breathing.

But it exposed everyone's true inner thoughts.

"Wen Ze, how confident are you about this?"

Han Sui said in a trembling voice.

"At least 80%!"

Candidate Road.

"Eighty percent, damn it, done!"

Han Sui said loudly.

After saying this, Han Sui turned his gaze towards Liang Xing and the other two and said coldly:

"what about you?"

Han Sui promised that if any one of the three dared to say no, he would kill that person with his own hands.

"As long as the Lord gives the order, we dare to do anything!"

Liang Xing and the other two said excitedly.

Only a fool would not want fame, wealth and power that come right to his door!

"Okay, okay, okay, if this works out, the five of us will be rich and prosperous together in the future!"

Han Sui laughed.

"In the future, the five of us will share wealth and glory!"

The candidate also said in unison.

I see that everyone has reached a consensus.

Next, Han Sui asked Hou Xuan for advice on how to fight against Cao Zhi's army.

After all, it’s just like Liang Xing said before.

Although Han Sui had a large army under his command, he was still unsure about facing Cao Zhi.

"My plan is to recruit soldiers from Liang Province!" Hou Xuan said seriously:

"Although we annexed Ma Teng's soldiers, Cao Zhi's army's breakthroughs through Hangu Pass and Tong Pass, and the capture of Weinan, have caused us to suffer heavy casualties!"

"I just calculated that we only have 48,000 soldiers left, including 23,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry.

Excluding the troops stationed in other places, we now have only 20,000 cavalry and 18,000 infantry in Chang'an City.

How can such a small number of people resist the attack of Cao Zhi's army, even if Chang'an City is second only to Luoyang in the past!"

"If that's the case, why don't we recruit soldiers from Guanzhong, but instead go to Liangzhou instead!"

Zhang Heng raised his own questions.

"Yes, there are 300,000 civilians in Guanzhong. Even if Fengyi County is taken away, we still have at least 200,000 civilians. Why not recruit soldiers from them?"

After Zhang Heng, Cheng Yin added.

As soon as Cheng Yin finished speaking, Han Sui said coldly:

"If we recruit even one out of every ten people from the 200,000 civilians, we can only recruit 20,000 soldiers at most. And that's 20,000 infantrymen. 20,000 infantrymen is still too few for us!"

"Moreover, these 200,000 people are not only our foundation, but also the foundation of the Guanzhong nobles. Those nobles are already indecisive. If you do this, won't you force them to side with Cao Zhi?"

As soon as Han Sui said this.

Liang Xing and the other two were stunned at first, and then fell silent.

Only at this moment did they finally understand.

What a disadvantage we are at when facing Cao Zhi!

"My Lord has already told everyone the reason, so I say, we must go to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers as soon as possible!"

"Going to Liang Province to recruit soldiers also has its advantages. First, we can guarantee that those soldiers are loyal to us. Second, we can use Guanzhong as bait to lure those Qiang people into our service..."

Hou Xuan listed many advantages of recruiting soldiers from Liangzhou in one breath.

See the candidate say this.

Everyone no longer had any doubts.

So they decided that before the army from Liang Province arrived, they would defend the city and ensure that Chang'an would not be captured by Cao Zhi.

And after the Liangzhou army arrived.

He and others joined forces with the Liangzhou army.

Guaranteed to leave a deep impression on Cao Zhi!!!

The more they talked, the more excited and happy they became.

It’s as if a beautiful life is waving to me.

The atmosphere has become so heated.

Han Sui immediately proposed that he and the four candidates become sworn brothers.

Everyone agreed with this.

It was already late at night after the whole process.

Considering that Cao Zhi's army is about to arrive.

Han Sui did not hold a banquet to celebrate.

Among the crowd, Liang Xing was entrusted with an important task by Han Sui and went to Liangzhou to recruit soldiers.

He left Chang'an City that night.

As for Hou Xuan, Cheng Yinzi and Zhang Heng.

Then they each returned to their own homes.

They need to have a good rest.

When you wake up the next day, you must work hard for a happy future for yourself and others!

……

4:00 AM, Chou time.

Just half an hour after Hou Xuan returned from Han Sui's mansion.

A black figure.

Quietly left the Marquisate.

After one stick of incense.

This figure came to the outside of Ma Teng's mansion.

With flexible movement and familiarity with the soldiers' patrol routes.

This person quickly jumped over the courtyard wall into Ma Teng's mansion.

It won’t take long.

Then he arrived outside Ma Teng's study.

“Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang!”

The man tapped on the window gently and regularly.

After a few breaths.

The study window was opened.

The figure jumped in quickly.

"You finally came!"

As soon as this figure came in.

A voice sounded behind him.

At the same time, a sharp sword was already placed on this person's shoulder!
