Fazheng smiled slightly and shook his head: "No, our move is to cooperate with the lord to take Longguan quickly and eliminate the remaining forces in Xiliang."

"If Ma Chao is not eliminated, Xiliang will not be able to truly calm down for a day."

"After all, although Ma Chao has lost the hearts of the people in Liangzhou, he still has great influence among the Qianghu tribe."

"Besides, the terrain of Longguan is complicated. If we want to notify the Lord, we have to go around the mountain. It takes at least five or six days to go back and forth. This method is not advisable."

"Don't worry, everyone. I expect that after our army's move, it will definitely have an impact in Longguan. There should be civil strife in Longguan tonight. We just need to wait patiently."

Hearing what Fazheng said, Zhang Ren didn't say anything more, and continued to wait patiently.

Zhang Ren and others still admire Fazheng.

However, when Hua Yu had just won Yizhou and handed over the power to Fazheng, the civil and military people in Yizhou didn't think much of Fazheng, and even believed that Huayu employed nepotism.

However, Fazheng has been in charge of Yizhou for more than half a year, and the various abilities he has shown have gradually won the admiration of Yizhou civil and military personnel.

In particular, Fa is dealing with the conflict between the gentry and the poor. His ingenious technique and his sophistication have amazed many treacherous and cunning people.

Under the governance of Fazheng, Yizhou quickly entered the right track.

Sure enough, everyone waited patiently for another half an hour, and some changes really happened in Longguan.

At the beginning, there was the sound of fighting.

The voice was not loud, but it could be heard by Fazheng and others.

After a while, the shouts of killing became louder and louder, and some soldiers appeared on the top of the city, holding up torches, and kept shaking them towards Fazheng.

Then, the gate of Longguan was opened from the inside, and some soldiers ran to the gate, holding up torches and shaking them incessantly.

Yan Yan was overjoyed and said: "Lord Fa, Longguan has really changed, let's enter the pass now."

But Fazheng smiled faintly and shook his head lightly: "Wait a minute."

Wait first?
Zhang Ren and the others were immediately puzzled by Fazheng's words.

There are changes in Longguan, and the rebels will close the gate and open it. It is a good time to take the opportunity to enter the pass. Why wait?

Leng Bao couldn't help asking: "Lord Fa, what's the reason?"

Fazheng said with a smile: "With my lord's ability, the news of Liangzhou's fall must have been conveyed to Longguan long ago."

"Even, the lord will use a combination of kindness and power to destroy the psychology of these defenders."

"So, our army shoots rockets and promises a heavy reward. How can the soldiers of Longguan not be moved?"

"The Longguan soldiers had long wanted to betray Ma Chao, but they just missed a chance."

"Now, this opportunity has come, and the act of rebellion must be done with lightning speed in order to succeed."

"At least, if it were me, I would immediately gather my followers and attack Ximen."

"My lord's army is at the east gate of Longguan, so Ma Chao's attention is naturally also at the east gate, and the west gate must be neglected to defend."

"The rebels suddenly attacked Ximen, and they will definitely be able to take Ximen easily."

"Otherwise, once our army's plan is known to Ma Chao, it will inevitably strengthen the defense of Ximen, and at the same time stabilize the three armies through coercion or appeasement."

"You have all seen it too. We waited for a full hour before there was a change in Longguan."

"This means that the current Longguan incident is a fake, a trap."

"Once our army enters Longguan, it will also enter Ma Chao's ambush circle, and it will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

"I have heard for a long time that Ma Teng's second son, Ma Xiu, is very resourceful. This must be his plan."

After hearing Fazheng's explanation, all the generals suddenly realized and felt ashamed secretly.

If it wasn't Fazheng leading the army, if it was any one of them, I'm afraid that the army would be mobilized to enter the customs right now.

However, sudden enlightenment is sudden enlightenment, but the generals are still not completely convinced by Fazheng's explanation.

Fazheng could see what the general was thinking, and smiled lightly, without further explanation.

After shaking the torches for a while, the soldiers at the city head and the city gate saw that there was no movement from the Yizhou army, so they stopped shaking and closed the gate again.

Now, Zhang Ren and others still don't understand that the city gate was opened just now, it was Ma Chao who was cheating.

Zhang Ren and others sighed in admiration: "Master Fa's strategy is unparalleled in the world."

Fazheng laughed loudly and said, "How can Zhengzheng be able to bear the four words "Dangshiwushuang?"

"My lord, Shi Yuan, Wen You, Wen He, Gong Da, Yuan Zhi and others all have strategies above mine."

"Not to mention, Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei, Zhou Yu under Sun Ce, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu under Cao Cao, Tian Feng and Jushou under Yuan Shao, all of them are rare wise men in the world."

Zhang Ren and the others felt their scalps go numb for a while, they didn't expect that there are so many top counselors in the world.

Fortunately, most of them are under Hua Yu's command, otherwise they must be extremely careful when marching and fighting in the future.

Deng Xian asked: "Master Fa, Ma Chao has ordered people to close the gate of the city, what should our army do?"

Fazheng smiled slightly: "Keep waiting."

Keep waiting?
Fazheng nodded: "Yes, continue to wait, the opportunity will come soon."

The four of them, Zhang and Ren, were already stunned by Fazheng: "I'd like to ask Mr. Fa to explain one or two things, I really don't understand."

Fazheng smiled and said, "It's actually very simple."

"This Longguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since Ma Chao knows that we have defeated our army's plan, he will naturally not waste too much energy on Ximen."

"After all, once our army forcibly sieges the city, Ma Chao will know it soon and can send troops to help."

"And if you are careless, accidents will happen."

"Ma Chao overlooked one point, that is, the morale of the army has been lost."

"Once Ma Chao's attention is diverted, those who intend to rebel will have an opportunity."

"If I'm not wrong, the closed door will be opened again soon."

"And this time, it's no longer Ma Xiu's plan, but the Longguan rebels' move."

As soon as the words fell, everyone suddenly heard that there was indeed another shout of killing in Longguan.

Not long after, the closed door was opened again, and the torch was still shaking.

Fazheng no longer had any doubts, and shouted: "All officers and men listen to the order. This is a great opportunity for us to make contributions. We must fight with all our might. If we win Longguan, the lord will reward us generously."

Following Fazheng's order, the Yizhou army rushed towards Longguan with loud shouts.

Only Fazheng and his one hundred guards did not move. He is a civil servant, and it is not his duty to charge into battle.

Ximen's accident had happened. When Ma Chao heard the news and led his army to Ximen, it was already too late. Of the [-] soldiers and horses in Yizhou, more than [-] had rushed in.

The rest of the Yizhou army is still rushing into Guanzhong.

At this time, Zhang Ren's generals were also able to show their talents: "General Yan, you lead a team of troops and rush to the east gate to welcome the lord to enter the pass. On the way, in the name of the emperor, order the Longguan defenders to surrender."
