Xu Chu and Li Yan failed to encircle Jiang Wei, asked Xu Chu to go back to the tent to rest, and ordered the wounded doctor to treat Li Yan, and Fa Zheng sent scouts to pay attention to the battle situation on Ma Chao's side.

Ma Chao, like Xu Chu, led the army to the foot of Bashan Mountain.

Unlike Li Yan's fate, Zhang Wei led 2,000 people to climb up the cliff of the back mountain, except for two soldiers who fell by mistake, everyone else went up the mountain smoothly.

The battle began before dawn, and standing in the barracks, Fa Zheng could also hear the shouts of killing in the distance.

At noon that day, Ma Chao and Zhang Wei returned victoriously.

Ma Chao entered the barracks and shouted: "Hurry up, please Fagong, we are back!" ”

Fa Zheng, who had not slept for a long time, received a report and hurriedly went out to greet him.

Seeing Fa Zheng, Ma Chao dismounted and said: "According to Fa Gong's strategy, we broke through Bashan and captured Liao Hua alive!" ”

"Bring someone up." Hearing that Liao Hua was captured, Fa Zheng hurriedly ordered the guards.

Ma Chao turned around and shouted, "Bring it to someone!" ”

Immediately, two soldiers escorted Liao Hua up.

Liao Hua was covered in blood, and the armor on his body was also torn, which shows how tragic the night battle was.

was escorted to Fa Zheng, he turned his face to the side and snorted coldly.

Fa Zheng looked at him: "General Liao, what else do you have to say?" ”

"What can I say to you?" Liao Hua didn't look at it at it, and said in a very bad tone.

His face changed, and Fa Zheng ordered: "Take it down!" ”

The soldiers escorted Liao Hua away, and Fa Zheng looked at Zhang Wei: "General Zhang and Liao Hua should be more familiar?" ”

"It's familiar." Zhang Wei replied: "Stationed in Bashan, as his lieutenant general, I have more contact than before. ”

"Although Liao Hua is not General Ma's opponent, he can't be regarded as a mediocre talent." Fa Zheng said: "General Zhang can go and persuade him, if he is willing to surrender, I will spare his life." If he is stubborn, wait until I break through Langzhong and put him and Liu Bei to death together!" ”

"I can try." Zhang Wei received the military order.

Accompanied by Fa Zheng into the barracks, Ma Chao asked, "How was Zhongkang last night?" ”

"General Xu's side is not going very well." Fa Zheng said: "Jiang Wei saw through the deployment of our army and ambushed General Li Yan in the middle of the road. General Li Yan was seriously injured, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and General Xu is also very annoyed, and he should be resting in the tent. ”

"I'll go see him!" and Xu Chu sympathized, and heard that he was not too smooth, Ma Chao immediately said that he wanted to meet him.

Fa Zheng did not stop him, and accompanied Ma Chao to Xu Chu's tent.

Ma Chao said to him: "The Fa Gong is busy with military affairs, Zhong Kang and I are just chatting, so we won't delay the important matters of the Fa Gong." ”

"I'll take my leave!" Knowing that Ma Chao and Xu Chu had something to say, and they didn't want others to hear these words, Fa Zheng said goodbye and left.

Lifting the curtain of the tent, when Ma Chao walked into the tent, he saw Xu Chu lying there with his eyes closed.

His right leg was on top of his left leg, and although his eyes were closed, the position he was lying in was not very comfortable.

Ma Chao asked Xu Chu, "Is Zhong Kang really asleep?" ”

"Meng Qi thinks I can fall asleep?" His eyes were still closed, and Xu Chu replied angrily.

Sitting down beside him, Ma Chao asked, "I heard that Zhongkang didn't go well last night?" ”

"It seems that Meng Qi is smooth sailing." Xu Chu opened his eyes and sat up.

"Fortunately, Liao Hua was captured." Ma Chao said: "When our army went up the mountain, Liao Hua was completely defenseless, and fought all night, and all the Yizhou troops he brought were wiped out. ”

"I have to congratulate Meng Qi first." Xu Chu arched his hand, but from the tone of his voice, he couldn't hear the slightest hint of congratulations.

"What's going on over there with Zhong Kang?" Ma Chao asked.

"Come to see me early in the morning, is it just to taunt me?" Xu Chu said: "When I went up the mountain, General Li and the others had already been ambushed, and Jiang Wei had long since disappeared, so I had no chance to fight with them. ”

"How could I taunt Zhongkang." Ma Chao shook his head: "I made a bet with Zhongkang, and I was originally bargaining." ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Chu looked at him in astonishment: "What do you mean?" ”

"How can Jiang Wei and Liao Hua talk the same thing?" Ma Chao smiled indifferently: "Jiang Wei is like a ghost, and he has always been famous. It is not surprising that Zhongkang suffered a loss under him. Liao Hua is just a pioneer, he is okay to lead troops to fight, but it is much worse to expect him to strategize. Zhong Kang can imagine that you have not launched an attack yet, Jiang Wei has already seen the inappropriateness from the actions of the soldiers, and immediately made adjustments in deployment. But Liao Hua can't see what is wrong so easily. Since he couldn't see anything wrong, how could he possibly make adjustments? There was no strategy to deal with it at all, and our army went up the mountain, and he could only force the battle. With Liao Hua's ability, what will happen to him when he meets me? ”

Xu Chu suddenly realized that she had been seen through by Jiang Wei before she went up the mountain.

"So...... Jiang Wei is really hard to deal with......" Xu Chu frowned and said: "Although Bashan has been breached, our army is unable to break through Jianmen Mountain, once the army storms Langzhong, Jiang Wei can lead troops to attack and disturb ...... from behind."

"I don't think he had that chance." Ma Chao gently patted Xu Chu's shoulder: "Zhong Kang think about it, although Jiang Wei is a capable person, how can the Fa Gong be an idle person?" When the two met, it was just to see whose wisdom was more far-reaching. ”

Xu Chu nodded.

What Ma Chao said is really true.

Jiang Wei is good at using soldiers, and Fa Zheng is also good at using soldiers.

Everything that happened the night before can only be said to be a victory for Fa Zheng and Jiang Wei.

However, according to the analysis of the overall situation, Fa Zheng is a step above Jiang Wei.

The soldiers lost on Jianmen Mountain were only one or two hundred, and they were unable to completely annihilate them, so Jiang Wei could only sneak into the mountains and forests with the remnants of his soldiers.

In the first battle of Bashan, Ma Chao completely annihilated the Liaohua Division.

Without Liao Hua cooperating with each other in Bashan and Jianmen Mountain, even if Jiang Wei came back, the future war would be extremely unfavorable to him!

In fact, the two battles of the previous night were still more likely to be won by Fazheng.

"Zhong Kang figured it out?" Seeing that the expression on Xu Chu's face had changed a little, Ma Chao said: "Don't think about it so much, there is no more than one victory or defeat." What we have to see is who will win in the end! ”

"Meng got up to look at me, and I was grateful to be able to say this to me." Xu Chu said: "Jiang Wei made me suffer this time, and sooner or later I will let him pay it all back!" ”

"As long as Zhong Kang has such a mind, with Jiang Wei's little talent, it won't be a matter of time?" Ma Chao stood up: "I fought all night, I was also very tired, Zhongkang was also tired, we both had a good rest, and waited for a decisive battle with the enemy army later!" ”

"I'll send Meng Qi!" Xu Chu stood up and sent the horse beyond the tent. 2k reading web
