"General Ma's martial arts are not weak." Zhao Yun replied, only admitting the fact that his marksmanship was higher than that of Ma Chao in words.

"I'll ask General Zhao for marksmanship in the future." Ma Chao finished his words and led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry back to the city.

The defenders in the city were slightly surprised when they saw that Ma Chao failed to win, and their eyes at Zhao Yun were even more afraid, Ma Chao's martial arts were strong They had seen it with their own eyes, but they didn't expect that the fair-looking Zhao Yun had such a terrible side, and the general who made fun of Zhao Yun on the city wall was even more hiding.

"Congratulations to the Marquis of Jin for his victory!" Han Sui arched his hand.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Zilong is out of the horse, if he can't defeat Ma Chao, it will be a strange thing." ”

Dian Wei muttered in a low voice: "At the beginning, I Lao Dian also defeated Ma Chao, and I didn't fight for a long time, it seems that Ma Chao left my Lao Dian behind." ”

Although Dian Wei's voice was very low, it was still heard by Han Sui, and the shock in his heart could be imagined, and then he thought that the person in front of him was also one of the five tiger generals under Lu Bu.

Suddenly, Han Sui had a sad feeling that the eight fierce generals under his command killed three people for Ma Chao.

After returning to the army, Lu Bu immediately invited Han Sui, Zhao Yang, Li Ru and others to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss the attack on the barrier county, and the victory in the battle on the battlefield could not change the fact that the enemy was defending the city, unless Ma Chao could be killed on the battlefield.

The strength has reached the point of Ma Chao, and if you want to kill him on the battlefield, you can only rely on your strong strength to complete it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the number of our army has reached 30,000, although the defenders in the city are less than 8,000 people, the combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated, and the main general in the city is a fierce general like Ma Chao, what are your good plans, although you say it bluntly." Lu Budao.

Han Sui saw that no one answered, got up and said: "Marquis of Jin, I think that I can secretly contact the family in the city, thinking that it should be internal, as long as the city gate is opened, our army will rush in, why worry about not being able to break through the barrier county, and then Ma Chao will lose his troops and generals, even if he retreats to Di Dao, it is difficult to make a big difference." ”

Lu Budao: "When Ben Hou broke through Xia Zhi, he secretly united the families in the city, with Ma Chao's shrewdness, how could there be no precautions?" ”

"Lord, although there are 8,000 defenders in the city, but the elite soldiers and horses under Ma Chao's command are only 3,000 at most, with the advantage of our army, we can use thunderbolts and bed crossbows to completely suppress the defenders in the city, as long as the defenders in the city are afraid, it is naturally not a problem to break through the barrier county." Frustrated.

After discussing with everyone about attacking the city, Han Sui and the others got up to leave, while Li Ru and Zhao Yang stayed, and the reason why Zhao Yang was allowed to participate in the deliberations was just to reassure Han Sui, he believed that Han Sui had some guesses about the identities of Zhao Yang and Li Ru, and Han Sui would still have some hope until the matter was really revealed.

Lu Bu set his eyes on Zhao Yang and said, "Zhao Taishou guards Anding County and Beidi County, but it is not a little hard. ”

"This is a matter within the subordinate's responsibility, fortunately there is a military advisor from the side, otherwise, there would not be the current situation." Zhao Yang replied respectfully.

Lu Bu nodded secretly, the people selected by Li Ru are still self-aware, but the Zhao family has not benefited from it over the years, and Beidi County and Anding County will definitely not dare to blatantly follow the set of merging states, and they will also have a lot of attraction for the family.

Seeing that Lu Bu just nodded and didn't say anything else, Zhao Yang understood and said goodbye.

After Zhao Yang left, Li Ru saluted respectfully and said, "Lord." ”

"Wen You has a great contribution to Ben Hou in Anding County, and after this war is understood, Wen You can go to Jinyang with Ben Hou."

"Whoa." Li Ru's expression was full of excitement, he never thought that one day, he would be able to be reused.

"I wonder what Wen You thinks of the current situation in Liangzhou?" Lu Bu asked, after capturing Chang'an, although he did not plan to seize Liangzhou, he had a certain understanding of the situation in Liangzhou, and it would be of great help to the next step.

"The lord, and now the nine counties of Liangzhou, the lord occupies three of the counties, after the capture of Longxi, it is the land of the four counties, Han Sui has Jincheng, Wuwei, Hanyang three counties, Liangzhou and now the biggest scourge is the disaster of the Qiang people, the Qiang people are brave and good at fighting, compared to the Xianbei people on the grassland is not weak, the Han family is in the battlefield of Liangzhou lost a lot of soldiers and horses, the Qiang people are mainly active in Beidi County, Wudu County, Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Dunhuang County, now the Qiang people of Zhangye County are the most powerful, if Liangzhou is completely stabilized, The disaster of the Qiang people must be lifted, otherwise even if it is to get Liangzhou, it will be difficult to settle down, like Ma Teng and Han Sui were able to have such achievements in Liangzhou before, and the friendship with the Qiang people is not a small reason. ”

Lu Bu's eyes flashed a fierce color, about the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, he was naturally clear, especially the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, the influence of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion has been getting weaker and weaker over the years, and the aliens have coveted the Han Dynasty for a long time, and even the small countries that were previously dependent on the Han Dynasty such as the Western Regions Changshi Mansion dared to openly disobey the orders of the Changshi Mansion, and the Western Regions Changshi Mansion has now become an ornament, and it can be seen from the information from the Western Regions Changshi Mansion that the place where these aliens are very likely to make a move next is Liangzhou.

In the eyes of the Han people, Liangzhou at this time was a barren land, but in the eyes of foreign people, as long as it was governed by the Han Dynasty, it was rich.

In addition to the Changshi Mansion in the Western Regions, there is also the Kushan Empire, that is, the Dayue clan in the Han population, although the Kushan Empire is gradually weakening, its strength is still not to be underestimated.

However, the situation of these Western Regions Changshi Mansion is not something that Lu Bu can influence at this time, and the princes of the Central Plains are extremely troublesome, and only after occupying Yizhou, eliminating Yuan Shao, and calmly developing the forces under his command, is the best time to occupy Liangzhou.

The princes had the first joint attack and annexed the state, and there would be a second time, and Lü Bu was not arrogant enough to defeat the princes' coalition army one after another.

"Lord, Ma Chao's martial arts are strong and strategic, and they should not be underestimated." Li Ru reminded that in the process of attacking Han Sui, Ma Chao's strategy was not weak, which made Han Sui suffer a lot of losses, and the generals in Han Sui's army mentioned that Ma Chao gritted his teeth while being in awe of him.

Li Ru also did not expect that the Chang'an army, which had just been formed, would be able to defeat Ma Chao on the battlefield and seize the Wudu by chance.

"Ma Chao is not worried, there are only thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, once the county is broken, Ma Chao will have no place in Liangzhou, and Han Sui will not allow Ma Chao to continue in Liangzhou for a long time." Lu Budao.
