"Report to the lord, the Yanzhou army has been camped outside the city at this time, and there is no action for the time being!" The Liangzhou sergeant came to report.

"Okay, Zhilu Dao! Observe the enemy's movements, and report any movements of the enemy in time! Let's go down! ”

Ma Chao waved his hand and let the soldier go down, and the soldier replied: "No! Subordinates retire! ”

After the soldiers retreated, Li Hui, who was still in the house, said to Ma Chao: "Lord, it seems that the Yanzhou army should not make any moves tonight!" ”

Ma Chao sighed lightly, and then said, "Maybe, but I still have to guard against it!" ”

Then he turned his head to Wu Ban on the other side and said, "Yuanxiong is going to be more tired tonight!" ”

"No! Please rest assured! ”

Wu Ban promised, he naturally knew what his lord meant. It is impossible for his lord and Mr. De'ang to guard the head of Huaixian County, so they can only go and see it by themselves. But for me, this matter is nothing more than a trivial matter, there is no problem at all, or I have to strengthen the guard tonight. And if he Yanzhou Army doesn't come, if he dares to come, hehe, they will definitely be called to go and not return!

It's not that Wu Ban doesn't pay attention to the Yanzhou soldiers, but he has great confidence in his own Liangzhou soldiers. Don't think that the soldiers of the Liangzhou army can only attack, in fact, defending the city is also very strong, but the people in the world don't have much opportunity to learn. However, Wu Ban, as the general of the Liangzhou Army, although the time he joined the Liangzhou Army was not too long, he did know more about his soldiers, so he still knew these things.

And when Ma Chao saw Wu Ban's expression, he roughly knew what he was thinking, so he said: "Everything is up to Yuanxiong, but the Yanzhou army is not to be underestimated, especially if they are all soldiers this time, then it is likely to be Cao Mengde's 'Qingzhou soldiers'!" ”

If you want to talk about Ma Chao, he is really right. This time, Cao Cao sent the 'Qingzhou soldiers', yes. Of the 50,000 horses he brought from Yanzhou, more than 30,000 were Qingzhou soldiers, and the rest were old Yanzhou soldiers. So no matter which one it is, it's distressing for him to lose a little. After all, the soldiers of the Yanzhou army are the foundation of his foothold in Yanzhou, and the Qingzhou soldiers are strong in combat and are even more loyal to him.

After all, when they had nothing to eat and were about to starve to death, it was not Cao Cao who rescued them, and even took them in with their families, so the 'Qingzhou soldiers' were indeed grateful to Cao Cao, the lord. But it doesn't matter if it's an old Yanzhou sergeant. is still the 'Qingzhou Soldiers' after that, and now they are all Yanzhou Army, which is not wrong.

Wu Ban said: "What the lord said, his subordinates must take it to heart!" ”

Ma Chao nodded,——

And the first night of the Yanzhou army coming to the city. And so it passed. Although the Liangzhou Army was still very cautious, the Yanzhou Army did not make any moves. After all, Cao Ren was really not ready to go to war with the Liangzhou army. And Ma Chao, although they also feel this way. But there is no lack of due caution. So the two sides spent the night in this atmosphere.

The night passed, and the morning came, but in the morning, Cao Ren was not in a hurry to deploy, because he was not ready to attack the city at all. That is not in line with the original intention of his lord at all, so how can he do that.

At this time, he was in the big tent, and he had already gathered everyone, even Sima Yi and Wang Yi were also present. He invited him.

Cao Ren, who was in the middle of the big tent, said to everyone: "Everyone, today is the first battle of our army, my original intention was to have Yun Chang and Gongming go to the city to call the battle, everyone follow me to watch the battle, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

As soon as everyone heard this, they all knew that Cao Ren had already made up his mind at this time and was not ready to attack the city, otherwise could he still say so. But this can be said to be expected by everyone, even if it was the later Wang Yi, he also thought of this. Although he also wanted Cao Ren to let the Yanzhou soldiers attack the city and even take Huaixian and defeat the Liangzhou army, but it was still the same sentence, why should people be like this, so he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

And Xu Huang said at this time: "Everything is according to the orders of the handsome!" ”

Guan Yu also said the same, after all, Cao Ren is the commander of the army, and he is also a veteran, and he is just a newcomer to the Yanzhou army, although he also has some other ideas, but he can only obey his Cao Zixiao's arrangement. What's more, I really want to see the bravery of the generals of the Liangzhou Army, I heard that Cui Fuda, Zhang Yide and others are all brave champions of the three armies.

Seeing that the two of them had no opinions, Cao Ren ordered to send troops, as for Cao Chun, of course Cao Ren knew his personality and usually didn't talk much, so when he basically didn't speak, he actually agreed, not to mention that his brother almost never refuted himself-

Cao Ren and the others led the troops to the city of Huaixian, while Xu Huang stepped forward to call for battle. In fact, in Cao Ren's opinion, it is estimated that the ordinary guards will not come out and fight their own generals alone, but the Liangzhou army is really hard to say. It's just that I heard that the generals in the Liangzhou Army, Cui An, Cui Fuda, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yide are not here, so at this time, the Liangzhou Army seems to have no available generals, so whether they can come to fight or not, this is not necessarily.

However, they forgot that although the general of the Liangzhou Army was indeed no one here, their main male Ma Chao was here. Ma Chao doesn't seem to have fought alone on the battlefield over the years, so he has slowly made the world forget his martial arts of Ma Mengqi. But his martial arts have never fallen, but they have improved, maybe today is the time for him to strike again-

And Ma Chao's side had already come to report that the Yanzhou army had gone to the city to scold the battle.

And Ma Chao and Li Hui had already come to the city at this time, and as for Wu Ban, he was here early.

A few people looked down at the city, isn't it, a general under the city. There is a big axe in his hand, and he is calling for battle.

At this time, I heard Xu Huang say: "I am Xu Huang and Xu Gongming in Hedong, who in the Liangzhou army dares to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Ma Chao saw it like this and heard it, so he said to Li Hui and Wu Ban: "This person is the number one general under the original Yang Feng's account, a native of Yang County, Hedong, Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, but now this person is already working under Cao Mengde's account!" ”

Obviously, Li Hui and Wu Ban have both heard of Xu Huang's name. After all, the previous battles between Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and the White Wave Thief were clear. And Yang Feng is not a nobody, he has some reputation in Sili.

Ma Chao smiled and said, "Xu Huang Xu Gongming, you don't serve under Yang Feng's account, what are you doing today?" ”

Ma Chao's words are a bit ironic, and he almost said it clearly. You Xu Huang took refuge in the enemy. After all, although Yang Feng was not killed by the Yanzhou army, he was attacked by Dong Cheng in the battle where the Yanzhou army ambushed them. So in the eyes of outsiders. How Yang Feng died was related to the Yanzhou army. So of course, some people think that Xu Huang is surrendering to the enemy.

As soon as Xu Huang heard what Ma Chao said, although he didn't know Ma Chao, he almost knew the Tao from a distance. At this time, he was indeed a little embarrassed, so he changed the topic and shouted to Ma Chao: "Is the city a Liangzhou pastor?" ”

Ma Chaoda smiled: "Hahaha! Yes, too. Xu Gongming, what do you want? ”

Xu Huang shouted: "There is no him, but I ask for a battle!" I have heard for a long time that there are many generals in Liangzhou, and there are many generals, so please come out to fight! ”

Ma Chao listened. He also felt that Xu Huang was indeed very warlike. It's a pity, Cui An and Zhang Fei's two series of boys are not here, or they still use it here to talk nonsense, just let them go. Xu Huang's martial arts are good, but he is not the opponent of the two of them. It's just that now on his side, whether it is Li Hui or Wu Ban, he is not anyone's opponent.

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't say anything, Xu Huang smiled and laughed, "Isn't Zhou Mu afraid?"

Ma Chao looked up to the sky and smiled, "Hahaha!" Haha ”

Xu Huang asked puzzledly, "Why is the state pastor like this?" ”

"Xu Gongming, although your method of agitation is ridiculous, but I have to admit it today, you have succeeded, Benzhou Mu will personally come to meet you for a while today to see how your martial arts are?"

Xu Huang said: "The state pastor can't break his word! ”

"Never break your word! Get my gun! ”

After speaking, a soldier brought Ma Chao's spear to him.

Li Hui also wanted to persuade his lord, and said in his heart that at this time, how could anyone go to fight with the generals in person? But as soon as he wanted to say something, he was stopped by Ma Chao with a wave of his hand, Ma Chao said: "I know that Mr. De'ang wants to persuade Yu Chao, but today Chao has to go out of the city to fight!"

First, Mr. doesn't have to worry about Chaozhi's safety, just rely on them, it's still far away!

Second, if no one in our army goes out of the city to fight with the enemy, then the morale will be weakened, and I wonder when my Liangzhou army has been so cowardly, no, so I have to go!

Third, everyone in the world knows that my Liangzhou army has Fuda and Yide, but they forgot about me Ma Mengqi, so I just used him Xu Gongming to let the world see that my Ma Mengqi's spear has not rusted yet! ”

As soon as Li Hui heard what his lord said, he was busy swallowing back the words he was about to blurt out. I have to say that everything my lord said makes sense, think about it, it's really like this.

Worried about the danger of the main security, in fact, it is not so dangerous. The martial arts of the first lord are still clear to him, as long as Lu Bu and Lu Feng are not there first, then unless there are many first-class generals besieging together, or his lord should not suffer. As for the other party's Yanzhou army, the whole army should be pressed against their own lord. Don't say that he, Cao Ren, won't do this, because they don't want to go to war. Even if he really did this, would the soldiers of his own Liangzhou Army sit back and wait to die?

If this is the case for the Yanzhou army, then there is only one consequence, that is, they will bear the wrath of all the Liangzhou troops in the city. It's not that I underestimate them, they only came with 20,000 horses, even if they are the "Qingzhou soldiers" with strong combat power, but such a head-to-head confrontation is definitely unable to resist the anger of the nearly 30,000 Liangzhou soldiers in the city.

When he saw that his lord (state pastor) was at a loss, then as soon as the city gate opened, the Liangzhou soldiers rushed out, and the unlucky ones were their Yanzhou army.

As for saying that the city is calling for battle, and your own side does not fight, then the morale will definitely decrease. More importantly, let the people of the world say that their Liangzhou army is afraid of their Yanzhou army. Li Hui knows that although his lord is not a particularly good-looking person, he absolutely cares about the reputation of the Liangzhou army, unless he is forced to do so, there is really no way not to fight, or under normal circumstances, the other party calls for battle, and his lord knows that he will still go.

As for the most reluctant, what his lord said, the people of the world have forgotten his Ma Mengqi's martial arts. This is indeed true, if my lord didn't mention it, he would have forgotten about it. His lord is superb in martial arts, but he hasn't fought with anyone in these years, but he can't leave his lord's martial arts behind because of this. (To be continued......)
