Cheng Gongying's face was calm, and he shook his head lightly.

General Ma was furious. At present, Beigong Jiyu is preparing soldiers and horses in the Xiqiang tribe, in order to deal with the war in Xiliang, Beigong Jiyu has strictly forbidden each tribe to leave the tribe without permission for half a step. Therefore, it can be seen that this could never be done by the Qiang people.

If Cheng's guess is correct, it is likely that Wen Bufan made his soldiers and horses disguise themselves as Qiang people, and then blamed the Qiang people for his painful hand on the king of Hanyang. In order to be holy, to be angry with us and others, to eliminate the idea of reconciliation. In this way, Wen Bufan can start a war with us without any scruples. ”

"What a vicious method! This extraordinary man has always acted above board, but I didn't expect him to be a sinister and cunning person! ”

Cheng Gongying's reminder, Ma Chao reacted immediately. Cheng Gongying saw it in his eyes, and secretly said that this Ma's lion is still too immature, and now it is the autumn of troubled times, if you want to save your body, intrigue is inevitable, not to mention the battle between forces?

"General Ma, it seems that it is impossible to rely on the imperial court to delay the war at present. But fortunately, Cheng Mou had another plan before. Yesterday, Jiyu of Beigong sent someone to send an urgent report, saying that Ke Paowushui, the king of Beiqiang, had promised to send troops to carry out a great cause, and three days ago, 100,000 Beiqiang troops had set off from Beiqiang and marched to the hinterland of Wen Bufan and the state. The state was in chaos, and Wen Bufan was caught off guard, so it was a good time for our army to attack on a large scale! ”

As soon as Cheng Gongying's voice fell, Ma Chao's eyes widened, and his momentum increased sharply, and he asked urgently.

"Military advisor, the implication is that my Xiliang army can enter Guangwei and fight to the death with Wen Bufan!"

Cheng Gongying's eyes shone brightly, and he said in a condensed voice.

"Under our successive policy charity, as well as the joint assistance of the wealthy families in various counties, in addition to Wuwei and Zhangye counties, the two counties are slightly unstable, and the people of Tianshui, Nan'an, Longxi, and Jincheng have been decided, and in these four counties, the major wealthy families have aroused the hearts of the people in their own villages to resist the enemy, and because of General Ma's policies such as opening the granary to relieve the people and reducing taxes, the people's popularity has increased a lot. The current situation is the right time to raise troops.

However, the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye are important places for conscription in recent years, so the people's grievances are the highest. ”

With Cheng Gongying's analysis, Ma Chao's face was first overjoyed, and then frowned.

"Military advisor, the granary was opened even a few times ago, and the grain and grass in the army have been restrained, if you draw another 10,000 loads of grain and grass, I am afraid that you can maintain the war with Wen Bufan. Once there is a shortage of grain and grass, the morale of the army will be chaotic. The current battle is related to the entire Liangzhou family, how can we divide the grain and grass again, and fall to the root of defeat! ”

"General Ma, with the current situation of 160,000 troops in the Western Liang, within February, he will be able to defeat Wen Bufan's 80,000 soldiers and horses and drive him out of Liangzhou. With the current stock of food in the army, even if it is shared with 10,000 quintals, it will be enough to last more than three months. The two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye are the hinterland of the rear of Liangzhou, if there is a rebellion, our front line is fighting against Wen Bufan's army, and the enemy is on the back, how can there be any reason to be undefeated? ”

Cheng Gongying bowed his hand and groaned in a deep voice. Ma Chao's face kept changing, he didn't know the truth of Cheng Gongying's words, but he didn't just want to knock Wen Han's army out of Liangzhou and give up, he also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture the entire Yongzhou!

Ma Chao was silent, Cheng Gongying seemed to see Ma Chao's thoughts, and persuaded again.

"Merge the state in chaos, Wen Bufan will undoubtedly be defeated in Liangzhou, suffered two heavy blows, within three years, it is impossible to restore the general trend. General Ma wanted to Tuyongzhou for three years. General Ma, if you want to achieve great things, why do you need to be in a hurry? ”

Cheng Gongying said as soon as he spoke, Ma Chao instantly narrowed his lion eyes, this Cheng Gongying's eyes were really vicious, in front of him, Ma Chao seemed to have no place to hide every thought.

At the same time, Ma Teng's words in the past rose in Ma Chao's mind again, coincidentally, at that time, Ma Teng also advised Ma Chao not to rush for quick success and give Liangzhou time to recover. Even at that time, Ma Teng suggested that Ma Chao wait for ten years!

Ma Chao's brain is turning, and it is best to decide to follow Cheng Gongying's advice first.

"The advice of the military advisor is very reasonable. According to the military division, another 10,000 loads of grain and grass will be given to subsidize the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye! ”

"General Ma is well aware of righteousness, which is really the luck of the people of Liangzhou!"

Cheng Gongying bowed deeply, and was slightly comforted by Ma Chao's obedient attitude towards him. Ma Chao is still young, the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Cheng Gongying was quite worried before, Ma Chao acted inexperienced, did not know the danger, and acted recklessly. However, at the moment, although Ma Chao is young, he has already had a few bright styles.

After Cheng Gongying and Ma Chao discussed for a while, they made resolutions on the most important matters at the moment, and then Cheng Gongying retreated and began to arrange. In addition to the 40,000 Qiang soldiers of Beigong Jiyu, the 140,000 army was assembled earlier than Di Dao, and the baggage and armament preparations had already been completed.

Ma Chao sent his general Pang De to lead 60,000 troops from his younger brother Ma Dai as the vanguard, and ordered Nan'an and Tianshui to guard and prepare grain and grass for supply.

Pang De and Ma Dai led an army of 60,000 all the way to catch up, and after five days, they rushed to Pingxiang, Guangwei, which was guarded by Zhang Liao, who ordered the soldiers to fly to Wenhan on the one hand, and led the army to resist the enemy on the other hand, and set up a formation in the field. Ma Dai, the pioneer of the front of Xiliangzhou, led an army of 15,000, which was vast and mighty, and came all over the mountains.

Ma Dai made a treasure knife, rode his horse out of battle, and ordered the general in the formation to answer. Zhang Liao mentioned Fang Tian's halberd, rode like the wind, and went out to answer.

"Zhang Wenyuan is here, where are you Xiaoxiao, report your name quickly!"

Zhang Liao waved Fang Tian's halberd, and he was domineering, Sergeant Wei Hexiliang. When Ma Dai heard Zhang Liao's name, his heart jumped secretly, Zhang Liao fought in the north and shocked Xiliang. The famous generals of Xiliang who died under him were all famous, and among them was Yan Xing, the 'first warrior of Xiliang'.

"A certain is Captain Wuping under Ma Zhengxi, Ma Dai, Ma Bozhan! Zhang Wenyuan dares to fight! ”

Although Ma Dai had palpitations, at this time, in front of the army, how could he retreat from battle. Ma Dai took a step forward and shouted. Zhang Liaohu stared at him and did not answer, but his mount rushed up.

The peerless weapon Fang Tian painted a halberd, cut through the air and flew, and Zhang Liao was like a wind and fire in front of Ma Dai. Ma Dai hurriedly lifted the treasure knife, and with a violent sound, his arms suddenly swelled.

Zhang Liao was slightly surprised, although this Ma Dai is young, but his strength is amazing, if it is an ordinary first-class general, he is afraid that he will not be the enemy of this son. But what kind of character Zhang Liao was, Fang Tian's halberd pressed suddenly, and immediately pressed the Ma Daibao knife over. Ma Dai hurriedly leaned down and avoided Fang Tian's halberd.

Ma Dai narrowly avoided it, just put away the knife and got up, but Zhang Liao hurriedly drew the halberd, and the halberd swept from behind, Ma Dai was shocked into a cold sweat and hurriedly raised the knife to block. With a violent snap, Ma Dai's mouth cracked, and the treasure knife in his hand almost fell off. Zhang Liao smiled coldly, Fang Tian's halberd danced non-stop, and he struck five combos in an instant. Ma Dai resisted to the death, and was killed by Zhang Liao without any power to fight back.

As soon as the five combos passed, Ma Dai knew that he was not Zhang Liao's enemy and wanted to escape. However, how could Zhang Liao do Ma Dai's wish, Fang Tian's halberd continued to attack, and Ma Dai kept an eye on the timing while resisting. Seeing that Zhang Liao was splitting a halberd, Ma Dai flicked the horse's head, hurriedly raised his knife to block it, and took advantage of the situation to escape.

"Little pony, it's not a good man who escapes!"

Zhang Liao scolded with a smile in the back, Ma Dai only managed to save his life and fled into the battle. Seeing this, Zhang Liao hurriedly ordered the soldiers to attack, and the Xiliang army was in chaos and fled in a hurry. Zhang Liao led the army to chase and kill behind, killed the Ma Dai army five miles away, captured countless armor and horses, and temporarily collected the army and retreated.

Ma Dai was defeated for a while, and lost 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the front army was blocked by Zhang Liao. Ma Dai was in a hurry when a soldier came to report, and Pang De arrived with an army of 45,000. Ma Dai hurriedly greeted Pang De and said that he would be defeated the previous day. When Pang De heard that Ma Dai's opponent was that Zhang Wenyuan, his eyes trembled.

It can be seen that among the soldiers under Ma Teng, Ma Dai's martial arts are only inferior to Ma Chao and Pang De. Half a year ago, Ma Dai also stepped into the ranks of super martial artists and comprehended the killing moves. However, Ma Dai is still young, and his own potential is not as demonic as Ma Chao's, how can he be Zhang Liao's opponent who kills Yan Xing.

"Don't worry, don't worry, tomorrow you will fight beside me. If I can defeat Zhang Wenyuan, you will be on the side, if I can only be on par with him, you will come to help at the right time, you and I will work together, we will be able to defeat this person! ”

For Zhang Liao, Pang De didn't dare to hold it up, and after giving orders with Ma Dai, he was preparing for tomorrow's battle. At noon tomorrow, Pang De and Ma Dai led nearly 60,000 troops to press Zhang Liaozhai, Zhang Liao heard about it, and was not afraid, so he led 10,000 troops to attack and resist the enemy.

Before Pang De slapped his horse and flew out of the formation, the lion-headed machete was raised, pointing at Zhang Liao, who was wearing rotten silver armor in the array, and shouted loudly.

"I am under the command of General Zhengxi, General Pang Lingming of Yiwu Zhonglang! Can Zhang Wenyuan dare to fight! ”

Zhang Liao saw Pang De's bare-faced and beautiful beard, tiger's back and bear's waist, and his majestic style, which was quite similar to Guan Gong, and immediately thought of Pang Lingming, the heroic general who desperately rescued Ma Teng in the net of heaven and earth under Xinping and Li Youbu.

And when Pang De's voice fell, Zhang Liao learned that it was this person, the tiger's eyes burst into thunder, and the fighting spirit soared.

"Why don't you dare! Pang Lingming, look at me Zhang Wenyuan to take your head! ”

Zhang Liao snapped his horse and carried his halberd to Pound and killed him directly, and Pound also rode his horse and flew away, dancing with a knife to meet him. At the same time, Ma Dai rushed out of the horse and stood not far behind Pound.

Between the lightning and fire, Fang Tian's halberd and the lion's head machete collided with each other. Zhang Liao's face changed in shock, and he secretly said with great strength. Pang De also frowned, shocked and fierce.

Fang Tian's halberd and the lion's head machete were pumped almost at the same time, as if they had turned into a thunderbolt movie, collided and collided rapidly, and violent sparks splashed one after another, Zhang Liao and Pang De both danced their weapons impenetrable, and they fought for nearly twenty rounds in an instant.

Zhang Liao's tiger eyes focused again and again, as if he was fighting extremely happily, and his moves were getting faster and faster, and he was getting more and more fierce. Pang De is the same, his fighting spirit is shocking, and he tries his best to suppress Zhang Liao. The two killed each other, and the spectators at the venue were all amazed by the strength of the two martial arts.

Another twenty times have passed.

Suddenly, Zhang Liao's momentum exploded, and his whole body seemed to burst out with a strong bloody breath, as if people could see a bloody field covered with corpses. Pang De's face changed, and Zhang Liao's momentum exploded, making him feel like he was back on the battlefield two years ago, when he fought with the 'Peerless General' Lu Fengxian.
