Ma Chao immediately ordered the soldiers to pour in and seized Wenhan's fence. Ma Chao heard the report from the soldiers again, and there was a lot of grain and grass in the village. Ma is super happy, so there is no doubt. At the same time, he sent someone to declare Zhang Lu, and held a banquet in the village to celebrate.

After the second watch that night, suddenly the three roads caught fire. The three-way soldiers and horses quickly fought out, with Zhang Liao in the middle, Zhao Yun on the left, and Pang De on the right. The three-way military horses came together to rob the village. Ma Chao didn't have time to prepare, so he had to get on the horse and rush out, and was about to withdraw to Zizhai. I didn't know that I met Ma Dai who was guarding the village halfway, and I was disgraced and led a remnant army to throw in. It turned out that at the time of the first watch, Wen Han personally led a large army to rob the village, because Ma Chao brought most of the soldiers and horses, and Ma Dai did not have many troops, so he couldn't resist it, so he had to abandon the village and flee. When Ma Chao heard this, he was shocked, that is, he joined the army with Ma Dai, looked at the south of Zhengcheng and left. Behind him, the soldiers and horses of the three-way Wen army chased after him closely. Ma Chao fled all the way, rushed to the city of Nanzheng, urgently called to open the city gate, and led the troops to rush in.

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Pang De saw Ma Chao retreating into Nanzheng, and the three of them looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths all turned up a smile, so they led their troops and horses back to the camp.

At this time, the Wen army had already mixed into the city and went to Yang Song's Mansion to meet him. That Wen Jun is a person who can speak well, and Yang Song listens to people in the mansion say that he is extraordinary, so he meets him in private.

"Wen Champion has heard of Yang Gongshengde for a long time, and the special envoy sent Jin Jia as a letter. There is also a secret book to be submitted. Wen Jun bowed carefully, and Yang Song saw that the golden armor was dazzling, and he knew that it was worth a lot of money at a glance, and his heart was overjoyed. Moreover, Yang Song lost the Yangwu Pass because of Yang Ang and Yang Ren's rashness earlier, and Yang Song was reprimanded by Zhang Lu, saying that he was not strict in discipline and indulged Yang Ang and Yang Ren, so it was a big deal. Yang Song knew what Yang Ang and Yang Ren were like, and later investigated in the army and found that there were great grievances, and since then he has held a grudge against Ma Chao and has been looking for an opportunity to take revenge. Now that he has not only fulfilled his wish, but also has a lot of money to obtain, Yang Song made a choice without hesitation.

I saw Yang Song take the golden armor with one hand, his eyes were full of greed, and after accepting the golden armor very carefully, he then took the secret letter from Wen Jun and opened it to see.

Yang Song's eyes showed a dark light, and after quickly reading the words in the secret book, he thought for a while, and then said to Wen Jun.

"You reply to the marquis, but don't worry. A good solution has its own way to deal with it. ”

Yang Song then sent Wen Jun to go back first, and then found his brother Yang Bai, as well as the generals of the Yang family to discuss secretly, and after agreeing. Yang Song then went to see Zhang Lu overnight, saying that Ma Chao had returned from defeat and had made a military order earlier, and because he was punished, he was secretly buying people's hearts and wanted to rebel.

Zhang Lu didn't believe it, Yang Song immediately taught Zhang Lu to call Yang Bai, and the generals of the Yang family came to confront him. Yang Song has long had instructions to the people of the Yang family, and naturally they have said that Ma Chao is not a good one. Zhang Lu believed a little bit at this time, and his military advisor Yan Pu was beside him. Zhang Lu thought about it again and again, and then called Ma Chao to see him again.

Ma Chao lost the shed, returned from defeat, and was worried in his heart, when he suddenly heard that Zhang Lu had summoned him, and he was immediately in chaos. Ma Dai advised Ma Chao that at this time, the Wenhan army was pressing the city, and Zhang Lu still needed him to be the guarantee of Hanzhong, so he would never harm him at this time. When Ma Chao heard this, he settled a little in his heart, and then entered the county palace to see Zhang Lu.

"Ma Mengqi! Do you remember what you set up earlier! ”

As soon as Ma Chao walked into the hall, Zhang Lu shouted. Ma Chao didn't dare to make a mistake, so he quickly knelt down.

"The Lord is angry! Ma Chao's sin is as light as death! But at present, the great enemy is at stake, Nan Zheng is in danger, and he is willing to live and die with Nan Zheng and fight to the death with the thief! ”

Zhang Lu's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly.

"Hmph, I'm afraid that some people will change their hearts and want to rebel in secret!"

As soon as Zhang Lu's voice fell, Ma Chao's face changed drastically, and he bowed again.

"Chao is loyal to the lord and has no two hearts. If you violate this statement, you are willing to be hit by five thunders and die without a place to be buried! ”

Zhang Lu saw Ma Chao swear a poisonous oath, and the color of the gloomy owl on his face faded a little, and he said coldly.

"You have made such a poisonous oath, and I will believe you again. You come to the sun to fight, and if you don't win, you will be killed! ”

"Whoa!"

Ma Chao lowered his head and gave his hand to receive the order, his face was gloomy and hideous, he forgot to die for Zhang Lushe, but Zhang Lu was suspicious of him and avoided him to death. How could Ma Chao not hate in his heart. After that, after Zhang Lu sneered and appeased Ma Chao, Ma Chao was respectful on the surface, but he retreated with hatred inside.

At present, Ma Chao has been cornered, depressed and worried, and rushed back to the house in despair. Ma Dai waited for a long time, and when he saw Ma Chao as if he had lost his soul and was in a state like a walking corpse, he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked about the past. Ma Chao's face was gloomy and lonely, so he told everything he had done. When Ma Dai heard this, his expression was also gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he said so.

"The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us, Wen Bufan has countless fierce generals around him, although his brother is strong, but his two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and the morale of the soldiers is low at the moment, the morale of his army is like a rainbow, it is undoubtedly difficult to defeat Wen Bufan. Zhang Lu's move is to force his brother into a dead end! Zhang Lu is not benevolent, why should my brother pay with righteousness! Yizhou Liu Jiyu is weak and incompetent, but there are 41 states of Xichuan as the foundation, and Xichuan is steep, even if there is a million troops are difficult to capture, Liu Jiyu has been in Yizhou for a long time, no one in the world can cut down, why don't my brother join this person's command, raise light and obscurity, secretly accumulate forces, in order to make a comeback, and seek a great cause!? ”

Ma Dai's words suddenly made Ma Chao seem to see a glimmer of light in the endless darkness, and the lion's eyes burst into brilliance, and his jaw responded.

"What Bo Zhan said is extremely true! How can we escape now? ”

"Tomorrow to fight, my brother will first send the front army to attack to resist the other army, and when the two sides fight fiercely, we will take advantage of the chaos to escape!"

Ma Dai thought about it for a while, and then he thought of a plan and offered a plan. Ma Chao's face sank, he had been repeatedly frustrated at Wen Han's hands, how dare he be careless.

"Wen Bufan is treacherous and insidious, just now I saw Yang Song's greedy villain in the palace, Zhang Lu was suspicious of me, it must be this person who accepted Wen Bufan's benefits and instigated him in secret. Such an extraordinary writer would have expected that we would turn our backs on Zhang Lu and set up an ambush as soon as possible. We'll have to be cautious tomorrow. Otherwise, we will be doomed! ”

"What my brother said is very true. It is better to wait for the two fine generals to put on our armor when we leave the army tomorrow, so we say that there is something important to entrust, but we are really asking them to explore the wind and let them lead the first army to go first. We will hide in the army, lead the henchmen and soldiers, and see what the situation is, and then act. What does my brother think? ”

"Bozhan this plan, foolproof, should be followed!"

Ma Dai made another plan, Ma Chao thought for a while, and felt that he could act like this, which was to agree with his head. After Ma Chao and Ma Dai discussed, the two made their own arrangements in secret.

The next day, Wen Han received information from Yang Song and learned of Ma Chao's situation, so he sent Zhang Liao to ambush Yu Lu, and then personally led a large army to attack the city. Ma Chao and Ma Dai acted according to the plan, exchanged armor with the two fine generals, and when they heard that Wenhan's army was coming, they led their troops to rush out. Wen Han ordered Zhao Yun and Pang De to lead two troops and horses to rush and kill. Zhao Yun and Pang De each danced weapons, flew on horseback, and entered the Zhang Lu army's soldiers' formation, as if entering a no-man's land, killing Zhang Lu's army in a big chaos. The soldiers and horses under the command of Zhao Yun and Pang De took advantage of the situation to attack, all of them were like hungry wolves, and they pounced and killed, and Zhang Lujun gradually couldn't resist. At this moment, the two generals wearing Ma Chao and Ma Dai armor suddenly led an army to retreat all the way, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai followed closely after mixing with their armies.

Wen Han mistook the two generals wearing Ma Chao and Ma Dai armor for them, smiled coldly, and secretly paid Ma Mengqi that he would definitely die this time.

The two generals wearing Ma Chao and Ma Dai armor ran wildly all the way to a hillside. Suddenly, there was a shout, and the sky collapsed, and the two generals, men and horses, as well as hundreds of soldiers, fell into the pit. The four walls of hooks stepped forward together and captured them all alive.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai saw that there was indeed an ambush, and immediately dispersed with the rebel army to flee for their lives. And Zhang Liao cared about catching Ma Chao and Ma Dai, but he didn't chase these deserters.

The soldiers of Zhang Lu, who fell into the pit, all went uphill. Zhang Liao quickly got off the horse and rushed over to take a look, but saw that the two people wearing Ma Chao and Ma Dai armor were not Ma Chao and Ma Dai at all!

"Damn!! fell into the plan of Ma Mengqi golden cicada to get out of the shell!! Pass my order, quickly look around, and be sure to capture Ma Mengqi!!! ”

Wen Han is scheming so far, if he is escaped by Ma Chao again, Zhang Liao really can't explain! Zhang Liao felt quite guilty in his heart, and hurriedly got on the horse to find Ma Chao. At this time, Ma Chao and Ma Dai had already led nearly a thousand henchmen and soldiers to flee into a mountain forest, and looked at Xichuan and rushed away.

Zhao Yun and Pang Dewei were unstoppable, and their subordinates were even braver, Zhang Lujun was killed and retreated, and there was no one to command the army, and the soldiers in the rear saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly rushed to the city to open the door. The guards of the city also saw that the defeat was decided, and hurriedly asked people to open the city gates, and the soldiers under the city rushed to enter. Zhao Yun and Pang De took advantage of the situation to rush to kill, and the two of them killed under the city together, and just ran to the suspension bridge, the arrows on the city were like rain, and Zhao Yun and Pang De had to retreat in a roundabout way.

And this time, Wen Han was determined to ambush Ma Chao, and when he saw that it was good, he accepted it, so he ordered the horn of collecting troops left and right. Zhao Yun and Pang De led the troops and retreated to the camp. Zhang Lujun in the city was killed in a frightened manner, and he did not dare to pursue.

After Wen Han returned to the village, he waited anxiously for Zhang Liao to come back and report it. When he was young, Zhang Liao sent people back to report that Ma Chao had a plan to get rid of the golden cicada, and it was very likely that he escaped by mixing in the deserting army!

"Bastard!! I cast a net, but the ponies escaped again!! ”

When Wen Han heard the news, his eyes widened, his anger surged, and he roared like thunder. All the generals under his command did not dare to speak. Wen Han forcibly suppressed his anger and shouted coldly.

"Search! Either way, I'm going to catch the pony this time!! ”

"Whoa!!"

Zhao Yun and Pang Dezhu generals gave up their orders and were about to get on the horse. At this time, Tian Feng said with a calm face.

"Slow! Lord! Our army came from a long distance and was not familiar with the terrain. In addition, the terrain from Hanzhong to Xichuan is intricate, and it is easy to get lost. Our army is now in front of the big war, how can we have the spare strength to take care of Ma Mengqi alone! I also hope that the Lord will calm his anger and not ignore the overall situation because of the momentary anger! ”

Wen Han frowned, his sword eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Tian Feng. Tian Feng's face was frank and fearless, and he looked directly at Wen Han. At this time, Cheng Gongying condensed and persuaded beside him.

"My lord, what the military advisor said is reasonable. At present, Nan Zhengcheng has lost the guarantee of Ma Chao, and it is easy to get it. As long as our army attacks Nanzheng, there will be a base in Hanzhong, where the front can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended. The land of Hanzhong is within easy reach. The Lord should take this as the priority! ”

Wen Han let out a big breath, then closed his eyes, as if his whole body was still covered with flames. Wen Han almost killed Ma Chao three or four times, but he escaped repeatedly. It is understandable that Wen Han would be so angry.

But fortunately, Wen Han has always been able to listen to advice and often use reason to suppress emotions. After a while, Wen Han slowly opened his eyes and bowed to Tian Feng and Cheng Gongying.

"What Yuan Hao and Gongying said is extremely true. If it weren't for your words, I would have almost mistaken out of anger, and I really shouldn't! In the future, I will need to rely on you and the other two of you! Come, pass on my orders, and the soldiers of all departments will rest tightly. I will take this Nanzheng City within three days! ”

Hearing Wen Han's words, Tian Feng and Cheng Gongying both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, looked at each other and smiled, and bowed together.

"The lord understands the righteousness and respects him!"

After that, the armies rested and recuperated according to the order, drank and fed enough, and prepared for the fierce battle tomorrow. As for in Nanzheng City, Zhang Lu heard that the soldiers came to report, and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and more than 1,000 Xiliang soldiers who came with him to vote, Zhang Luyi believed that Yang Song's words were true. Yang Song even took the opportunity to admonish.

"Right now, it seems that Ma Mengqi really has evil intentions. Fortunately, the lord had already prepared, so that he could not rebel in the city, and a catastrophe was avoided! ”

"Humph! Ma Mengqi holds a bit of martial arts, arrogant and indulgent, although he is respectful to my lord on weekdays, but I don't know that he has been secretly winning people's hearts, secretly accumulating strength, and wants to borrow my momentum to make a comeback! It's a pity that I didn't make up my mind yesterday and chop him into meat sauce! ”

Zhang Lu's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, Yang Song was secretly happy in his heart, but Yan Pu, who was on the side, was shaking his head and sighing, his face full of worry and bitterness.

"My lord, although Ma Mengqi has a rebellious heart, his martial arts are extraordinary, and he can protect our army against the enemy. Now that Ma Mengqi has turned his back and left, our army has no generals to stop Wen Bufan, and Nanzheng City is in danger, how should this be good!? ”

"Shut up!! Hugh wants to grow others' ambition and destroy his own prestige!! Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and if our army loses a little, how can we lose our ambition! Tomorrow, I will lead my troops and horses to defend the city, and I will definitely be able to shake the hearts of the army and repel the evil thief Wen Bufan!! ”
