Ma Chao looked at Lu Xun at this time, and he said in his heart, this matter will not be ......

So he asked, "Bo Yan, this matter won't have anything to do with you, right?" As soon as Fuda's front foot left, your back foot arrived. ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he said in his heart, where is this, I can do this, my lord, I am on your side.

But who Lu Xun is, he doesn't know if his lord is joking, so he just smiled, "Lord, if that's the case, his subordinates won't be used, won't they?" ”

Ma Chao smiled: "I don't know what you mean?" What did you come to me for? ”

"Lord, my subordinates still want to talk about Meng Huo."

"Bo Yan has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"No!" ――

"My lord, when our army marches, they will retreat. Obviously, Meng Huo didn't want to fight with our army at this time! ”

Ma Chao nodded, this is indeed the case, so he is also holding his troops at this time to see when he will dare to fight again.

Of course, Ma Chao would not be afraid of Meng Huonan's barbarian army, but in the same way, the soldiers of his own Liangzhou army, shouldn't they rest. So he has been fighting for several days, and Ma Chao knows in his heart that it is time to let his soldiers rest. If it weren't for the morale of his own soldiers and their full spirits, Ma Chao would have led his troops to kill him a long time ago, so what if he waited for Meng Shu?

The key is that Ma Chao governs the army, which is actually very humane. This is in the art of war written by his ancestors. It has been written that Ma Yuan means that you are the main general who leads the troops. If you can't think about the soldiers, do you still expect the soldiers to die for you?

Therefore, you need someone who can think about the soldiers, such a commander, and if you can do this, then you are considered qualified.

Ma Chao has always felt that what his ancestors wrote was good, and it was also in line with his own concept of governing the army, so Ma Chao was not the kind of combat power that particularly exploited the soldiers. Someone who doesn't think about the soldiers at all.

In the past, among the princes of the world, Yuan Shao was almost such a person. He doesn't value his own soldiers, and Yuan Shao's thoughts are simple. "Be a soldier and be a soldier", since I have given you food, you should die for me.

is worthy of being a person from a big family. Even the idea is like this. Rich, powerful, and food, these are Yuan Shao's confidence. Therefore, Yuan Shao was able to recruit so many people in Hebei, and he thought that his strength was the first in the world.

But in the end, he was not destroyed by himself and Cao Cao, this is Yuan Shao's fate. If the combat power of so many men and horses in his Jizhou army is really brought into play, he and Cao Cao may not necessarily be the opponents of his Yuan Benchu Jizhou army. can look at how many people are really working for him Yuan Shao, after all, they are a minority. More of a rabble, seeing that their lives are in danger. Just spread the girl away, and it doesn't matter what kind of food or not, anyway, the little life is the most important.

Ma Chao looked at Lu Xun at this time, "Bo Yan, go on!" ”

"Then our army is now taking advantage of this opportunity to rest, but his subordinates think that Meng Huo may have sent someone back to move the troops!"

When Ma Chao heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Bo Yan thinks so?" How so? You must know that Mrs. Zhurong is not so in favor of using troops, and Meng Shu is very afraid of his wife! Hahaha! ”

Lu Xun also smiled and shook his head, "Lord, this is not bad, but if Meng Huo really listened to his wife's words, why didn't he return to Nanban now, but still confronted our army in Yutong Mountain?" ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but nod after hearing this, but what Lu Xun said was not wrong at all, at least in this matter, Meng Shu seemed to be very insistent on his own ideas, and it was indeed not something that Mrs. Zhurong could change if she wanted to.

Even Ma Chao himself didn't know Meng Shu's intentions, after all, what Meng Shu was here for, he really didn't know very well-

In Ma Chao's view, what is this Meng Shu leading troops to confront him, in order to rob money, food, things, and people? Or something else, in Ma Chao's opinion, it seems that these are true, but it doesn't feel like it. After all, their southern barbarians are different from the nomads in the north, so their purpose is also different.

But he hadn't asked Meng Huo before what he was here for. Do you say that you are not good to you, you think you are okay, and I give you a lot of things every year. Yes, the real essence of the things will not be given to you, but you are not satisfied?

I didn't send troops to attack you, but now that you're a rebel, that's not right.

Besides, what can't be solved, and it has to be solved by force? I was in Jingzhou when I was fighting with Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei to the most critical time, but I couldn't take care of coming to Jingzhou, so I could only come to Yizhou, and then it was now.

It's a pity that Ma Chao didn't ask Meng Yu anything before, but he also knew that even if he asked, it would be useless -

Unless it was him Meng Shu who took the initiative to say it, otherwise, it was really difficult for him to hear the truest thoughts in his heart.

However, Ma Chao had already made up his mind, and he must ask him well. It's not that he hasn't thought that Meng Shu is for those good things among the Han people, but Ma Chao can't be very sure about this, after all, it's now. Meng Shu didn't say anything to himself. As for the previous saying that he wanted this and that, very many things and materials, it was purely his lion's mouth. Can you believe it?

At this time, after listening to Lu Xun's words, Ma Chao asked: "So according to Boyan, this Meng Huo has already sent someone to ask for reinforcements?" Maybe in the near future, it's coming? ”

Lu Xun nodded, "Lord, it's true!" ”

"Then when will our army have a decisive battle with Meng Shu?"

"Of course, the sooner the better, after all, when their reinforcements arrive. Coupled with today's more than 30,000 horses, it is definitely a threat to our army! ”――

Ma Chao couldn't help nodding, if it was really like what Lu Xun said. Then he is really going to have a decisive battle with Meng Huo right away.

As for what the other party thinks, it doesn't matter, what matters. I have to fight them in a decisive battle. If you don't do it to your own Liangzhou army, it is indeed no good.

After a while, Ma Chao said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, you see that our army will rest for two more days tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow, we will fight to the death with Meng Huonan's barbarian army, what do you think?" ”

"Great goodness! So much better. In this way, our army will be able to fight the enemy as soon as possible, before its reinforcements arrive. That's it. And didn't the lord also agree to Fuda, so of course it's best to do it as soon as possible! ”

Ma Chao smiled, "Yes, it is estimated that Fuda is the happiest when he hears this!" ”

"If that's the case, my lord, if the subordinate is Fuda, it will definitely be so!" ――

Ma Chao nodded with a smile, and then finally said to Lu Xun: "Then since it has been decided, I will order the whole army, the day after tomorrow, to fight a decisive battle with the Southern Barbarian Army!" ”

"No!"

Lu Xun came to his lord's big tent, but he wanted to tell his lord what he thought. He hadn't thought about it so much before, but after he went back, the more Lu Xun thought about it, the more he felt like this, so he couldn't wait any longer, at least not forever. If this is the case, it is estimated that what is waiting for is not a great opportunity, but the reinforcements of the Southern Barbarian Army.

After coming to Yutong Mountain, it can be said that Lu Xun also knew a little about Nanban, all of which he knew from insiders. So he knew that Nanban was not his Meng Shou alone, so there were other people, but it was quite far away from Meng Shou, so why couldn't he borrow troops to deal with himself, isn't this right?

So Lu Xun felt that this thing was not possible, and it was likely that the other party did this at this time, so he came right away-

And Ma Chao listened to Lu Xun's words, and he did find a problem that he had been ignoring.

Indeed, it is not that Meng Huo is likely to move troops, but that he will definitely move troops. As for whether it is this time, there should be a good chance. After all, if he really waited until his entire army was wiped out, it would not necessarily be when, Meng Shu was definitely not a person with a chronic character, but a person with a quick temper.

As long as he could think of it, or someone reminded him to do so, then he would be like it. Since he can't bet that he will not be like this at this time, then he should continue to march the army on the day after tomorrow and fight to the death with the Southern Barbarian Army!

This can be regarded as an explanation to his own soldiers, especially Cui An. If he kept asking himself, wouldn't he have a headache every time?

So I'd rather go into the army the day after tomorrow and go to a decisive battle with Meng Huo, rather than pestering Cui An to ask when he was going to send troops when he was fine, in that case, it is estimated that he will go crazy after a few times-

So Ma Chao directly asked Lu Xun to pass on his orders, of course, Lu Xun sent orders to various generals, as for other soldiers, there were also heralds.

Lu Xun and Ma Chao said goodbye, and Ma Chao still personally sent him a big tent, which has become his habit. He felt that if he didn't do it, he would be too embarrassed.

After Lu Xun left, Ma Chaoxin said. Fortunately, Lu Xun reminded him in time, otherwise there would be more family members by then, if he didn't know. Wouldn't that be a loss? Winning or losing is a trivial matter, and the key is that there are basically not many people in the first place, so it is really, really unable to withstand too much failure. If that's the case, I can only transfer troops from Chengdu again, but that's it, I don't necessarily have enough people now.

So Ma Chao is the first to pass the order. Let Tanma tighten the monitoring of the camp of the Southern Barbarian Army, and then the second, it is a letter written by him. Let people send them to Chengdu, let Zhang Song and the others, and make up another 50,000 people, so that they can have more people-

Wait until that's all done. Ma Chao can be regarded as temporarily relieved.

In his opinion. I've done almost everything by myself, so there shouldn't be any problem. As a result, as soon as I thought of this, Uncle Cui An came again, but compared to the previous frustration, this time he was smiling. Ma Chao saw it, and said in his heart, it seems that Lu Xun has already sued this uncle, and this uncle knows his plan. Even if it's temporary, I'm relieved and satisfied.

Really. Cui Anlai was talking to his lord about the war in the day after tomorrow, but Ma Chao could only listen to his vernacular, and he just listened with a smile.

Cui An said simply, it was nothing more than not to let Meng Shu run away, and see how he caught this guy when the time came.

And Ma Chao echoed a few words, and said in his heart that Cui An had a deep grudge about whether he could catch Meng Huo. I don't know how they formed such a big feud? It stands to reason that there is no such thing between them, but Ma Chao really doesn't understand it a little bit-

In fact, if you really talk about this matter, of course it has something to do with Meng Shu, but it is not the biggest relationship. In the final analysis, it's because of Mrs. Zhurong.

It's because of Mrs. Zhurong that Cui An is like this. But he also thought about it, and if he was a girl, he would lose his identity as a manly husband.

Because he was injured in Mrs. Zhurong's hands before, Cui An has always been angry about this. Don't look at him not telling others, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care, but in his heart, he has never forgotten it.

But because Mrs. Zhurong is a female general, Cui An is not good to deal with her, so Cui An also knows that he is not worried about a girl, but not with Meng Huo. After all, isn't that girl Meng Huo's wife, so catching Meng Huo naturally makes that girl have no choice. This is Cui An's consideration, in his opinion, this is the same as catching Meng Shu, so at this time, his focus has become Meng Shu again-

And this was something Ma Chao didn't expect, at least at this time, he didn't expect this.

But Cui An's thoughts are so. So after he didn't catch Zhu Rong before, he changed his goal and thought about how to catch Meng Yu.

You can only fight them on your own, but since then, there hasn't been any, so he's in a hurry. If this side does not fight, will it still have a chance to take revenge? So before he came to his lord's tent and asked Ma Chao when he would be able to enter the army. turned out to disappoint him, and his lord said that he would wait for the opportunity.

However, after he returned to the big tent, not long after, Mr. Boyan came to him and told him about his lord's plan to send troops, and he finally waited, so didn't he come to Ma Chao again and give Ma Chao a look forward to his arrest of Meng Shu.

Ma Chaoxin said okay, Meng Huo, you just pray, don't let Cui An touch you, or you will be unlucky. Cui An has been injured by Zhu Rong's flying knife in the past 20 years, except for losing to Lu Bu, carelessly, and at other times, he has really never been defeated-

You're certainly no match for him, and you've learned this before.

And now you are unlucky, and you are unfortunately remembered by this uncle, you can only be, ask for more blessings. I don't have anything to say, if your fate is good, you won't be caught by Uncle Cui An. But on the other hand, if you're unlucky, then you just wait to be caught by him.

Ma Chao seemed to have seen Cui An capture Meng Shu at this time, and then brought him to his Chinese army tent.

At this time, he said in his heart, if you Meng Shu are captured for the second time, I will see what else you can say, one, two, three, four, five, six, you are a scoundrel, I know, but I want to take a good look at how long you can be a scoundrel.

In the end, Cui An finally finished talking in the vernacular, and Ma Chao was also finished, and he said to Cui An: "Okay, when the time comes, it will all depend on Fuda!" ”

"Don't worry, lord!" ――

Ma Chao nodded, "Yes, Fuda does things, I don't worry!" ”

Cui An touched the back of his head with his right hand and smirked, "Hey, hey, hey......" (To be continued......)
