On the school grounds.

The Xiliang knight with a serious expression and a glued gaze in his hand is full of indifference and even murderous desire!

This sergeant was the Xiliang war cavalry that followed Ma Chao across the cool land, since Ma Chao entered Shu, due to the terrain of the mountains and rivers in Shu, the knight naturally lost his usefulness.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which once shocked Xiliang and once made Cao Cao extremely jealous, also fell silent.

Ma Chao thought that he would not have a chance to come back in his life, but the reality was ......

Forcibly pressed to endure the excitement in his heart, Ma Chao wore silver armor, a brocade belt on his waist, a silver helmet on his head, and strode onto the general platform with a sword in his waist, and shouted loudly: "Minister Ma Chao sees the King of Han, the cavalry under his command has been assembled, and it is still waiting for the order of the King of Han!" ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, stood up resolutely, looked down at the four directions, and waved his hand and shouted: "The soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Cao Thief is treacherous, in order to eliminate the forces that are lonely and painstakingly operating the revival of the Han Dynasty, he actually conspired with the tiger and seduced Hu Kou to attack my Xichuan land, causing the boundless war to lead to Hanba, so that hundreds of people are displaced, their families are ruined, and they are deeply tired of Hu Thief. ”

"Now, in order to save the people, I decided to discuss with the monarchs and take the left general Ma Chao as the general to lead the soldiers to the north to become generals, drive away the thieves and protect the people."

A roar that seemed to be shaking for nine days also made Liu Bei, an old man who was about sixty years old, look very excited again, clenched his fists and roared: "All the soldiers, once they were all cool land athletes, and they once killed Cao thieves and fled. ”

"Now that you dare to fight with the Qiang thieves, can you fight with the future of the Han Dynasty and protect the people of the Han Dynasty?"

"Dare to fight, dare to fight!"

With a loud shout, the five thousand Xiliang warriors who formed a formation below the school field did not hesitate at all, and they all raised their sabers in their hands and shouted loudly.

Morale is instantly high and inspired!

In the next second, Ma Chao's face was serious, and he also drew his sword out of the sheath and waved it high at the school field, roaring: "Fighting, fighting, we used to be like tigers descending from the mountain, although we have been silent for several years at this moment, we are still fierce tigers full of fangs, and a tiger roar can shatter the enemy's courage." ”

"Slaughter the Qiang thieves, protect the people of the Han Dynasty, and resist the Cao thieves."

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

With a high shout, the shouts around the school field can be described as unprecedented, and the roar is moving.

"Meng Qi, lead the army to the battle, and the lone general will wait for your good news to come back in Chengdu."

"No!"

"King Han rest assured, the minister will never disappoint your high expectations."

With a shout, Ma Chao ran off the platform and jumped on top of the divine horse, holding the divine soldier dragoon and ordering in a sharp voice: "The whole army listens to the order and sets off!" ”

The order was handed down, and a group of Xiliang knights marched out in formation, riding their horses on the plain, leaving only layers of dust in the air.

Just waiting for the sergeants to leave, Liu Bei stood on the platform for a long time, looking at the already imperceptible layers of backs in front of him, showing a worried face, and sighed deeply: "Alas, send Yong'er to the army, I really don't know if it's right or wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Fa Zheng from the side chuckled lightly and gently comforted: "The lord can rest assured, you have always taken Kuangjun as your own responsibility to assist the country and restore the Han Dynasty, and your life's long-cherished wish is to send troops to destroy Cao thieves, support the world and return to the old capital." ”

"It can be said that there is an indissoluble hatred with the Cao thief, and it just so happens that General Meng Qi and him are also burdened with a grudge against the whole family.

"If Meng Qi is familiar with current affairs, he will focus on the overall situation, and the second son is guarded by hundreds of white-eared elite soldiers led by Uncle Chen, so it must be fine!"

With the guidance of Fa Zheng's words, Liu Bei's mood gradually calmed down a lot.

……

East of Hanzhong, Akasaka.

Just north of Akasaka Town, a quiet, narrow, and steep mountain road looms.

"Huh, it's light?"

"It's the light, it's the light, we're finally out."

I don't know how long later, a team of about ten people appeared outside the mountain road first, and after a moment of stunnedness, they all shouted loudly, and tears seemed to be surging in their eyes.

Immediately, after a few moments, the number of sergeants pouring out of the mountain road increased, and the number of soldiers on a slightly wide flat ground on the outskirts of the mountain road also multiplied!

The sight of this army is unimaginable.

The torn armor, messy sideburns, declining mental state, and even hungry eyes among the sergeants......

After a long time, a middle-aged strong man in his forties with his hair gradually messy and his armor still relatively intact stepped out of the mountain road with a sword in his hand and stepped into the land of Hanzhong.

This general is Zhang He, the general stationed in Guanzhong.

As soon as he stepped on the land of Hanzhong, Zhang He sighed with palpitations: "This journey is really dangerous!" ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but think about it.

Since he led Cao's army to the Meridian Valley, in the past nearly a month, the cliffs on both sides of the road have begun to be extremely steep since the Meridian Valley reached the middle section, and the road in the middle of the road was also a solid stone bulge, making it difficult to pass.

What's more critical is that the weather has changed abruptly, the roads have been washed away by heavy rains, most of the marching baggage has been submerged, and there are many fierce gods and vicious beasts such as jackals and poisonous snakes hidden in the green dense forest.

"This road is extremely dangerous according to the locals, and it really lives up to its name along the way."

Muttering about it, Zhang He's complexion couldn't help but change drastically every time he thought of this, and he was a little worried.

"Suo Xing, I still came out......"

"General, don't worry!"

"Although this road is dangerous, our army still has a thrilling breakthrough and successfully entered the territory of Hanzhong.

"Next, our army will definitely be able to capture Hanzhong in one fell swoop in response to General Anxi of the Tun army Chencang."

Seeing that the main general Zhang He was a little worried, at this time, the eight-foot-long young man on the side couldn't help but smile, and shouted loudly, boosting the morale of the whole army.

"yes!"

"You're right, but I'm going to be too worried!"

After saying this, Zhang He also reacted instantly, and immediately stopped thinking about it, but immediately said in a deep voice: "Where is the scout?" ”

"General, the villain is here!"

A shout, several scouts with bows and crossbows rushed together and replied.

"Okay, our army has just come out of the meridian, and we don't know much about the surrounding situation, so you and a few others scattered around to investigate first, and the rest of the generals led the soldiers under their command to rest in place and replenish their strength."

"No!"

In just one order, Zhang He decisively gave the order.

As the various units of the Cao army rested according to the order, Zhang He on the side also couldn't take a break, and sent someone to summon the quartermaster to come and ask in a deep voice: "How much is the reduction of our army this time?" ”

When the words fell, the quartermaster replied: "General Qiyu, according to the time when our army left Chang'an and entered the meridian, the total number of soldiers in the whole army was more than 3,080, but according to the villain, when the number of people was just counted, there were only more than 2,800 soldiers. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zhang He was surprised, stroked his head as if he had a headache, and muttered, "This ...... This is just out of the meridian, and before the battle with the Han army, it has lost nearly 300 people, alas! ”

With a deep sigh, he also felt helpless inexplicably.

Killing oneself before the fierce battle will be a great blow to the morale of the army!

Zhang He is naturally able to understand this path.

So at this moment, his eyes are also closely wandering on the map, weighing the pros and cons and thinking about countermeasures.
