"Dingjun Mountain and that high mountain, where is it more difficult to defend?" Liu He said in a deep voice.

Ma Chao said without hesitation: "Of course it's this Dingjun Mountain, otherwise there is no need to occupy other highlands, the terrain here is still lower than the surrounding peaks, but it is relatively flat, which is more suitable for garrisons." ”

Liu He immediately decided: "Okay, you take your own soldiers to that high mountain, and our Tianji Battalion will guard this Dingjun Mountain." ”

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged his fists, "How can Mr. be in danger in person, or I will be stationed here, and Mr. will take the Tianji Camp to camp on that high mountain." ”

There was no one to chat with him along the way, and Chen Mo, who had been suffocating for a long time, turned over and dismounted, unloaded the things he had set up camp with his own horse, and began to prepare.

"General Ma, I advise you not to waste your spittle, hurry up and take people up the mountain, our head is like a stubborn donkey, what he said, he will not change it if he is killed, it is not too early this day, it will be difficult to camp later, you better take people and leave quickly."

Liu He didn't say a word, turned over and dismounted, and stepped forward with a kick.

Chen Mo rubbed his aching buttocks and said aggrievedly: "I praised you and helped you speak, why are you still kicking me?" ”

Liu He said angrily: "Is there anyone who praises people for managing people and calling them stubborn donkeys?" Would you like to hear me praise you like this? ”

Chen Mo blinked his eyes and said with a hippie smile: "It's a little unpleasant, yes, count me wrong, I'm talking nonsense, okay?" ”

Liu He reluctantly said: "What does it mean that you are wrong, that is, you are wrong!" ”

Chen Mo pulled his face, "Hey, you're not done yet, are you?" Isn't it just saying the wrong thing, what's the big deal! ”

……

Watching the two quarrel like scoundrels in the market, Ma Chao and Ma Dai looked at each other, not even having a chance to interject, and the Xiliang men behind him, who were used to talking little on weekdays, widened their eyes in surprise after seeing the chattering and quarreling of these two big men.

Wei Xiao listened carefully to the content of the quarrel between the two beside him, it was all inconsequential words, he pondered for a while, rolled his eyes, and walked towards Ma Chao.

"General Ma, the two of them are like this, as soon as they quarrel, it will be endless, and we will not be surprised for a long time. It's just that if they talk to each other, then it will be dark, and I don't think it's too early, so you should hurry up and take your men and camp on the opposite mountain. ”

Ma Chao looked at Wei Xiao, who had a calm expression, and then looked at Liu He, who was still arguing with Chen Mo not far away, and smiled knowingly, he saluted Wei Xiao with a fist, and then turned the horse away.

After not taking a few steps, Ma Chao suddenly stopped, turned his head to Ma Dailang and said, "I will take people up the mountain myself, you stay here and wait for Mr. Tianji's dispatch." ”

Ma Dai agreed, and then turned his head to Liu He, who was still arguing, and shouted: "Sir, I'll go up the mountain first to take a look at the terrain, and I'll come down in a while." ”

Seeing that Liu He still had no intention of stopping, Ma Dai pursed his lips and followed Ma Chao towards the mountain.

When the two brothers Ma Chao took people away, Liu He, who seemed to be arguing with him, suddenly stopped, his expression became calm, and he looked at the direction where the two left, silent.

The little black fat man walked over and came to Liu He's side, looking like he had already seen through everything, "Hey, little chicken, what do you want?" ”

Liu He smiled faintly and shook his head, "It's nothing, I just think that the Ma Chao I saw with my own eyes seems to be a little different from the rumored Ma Chao." ”

The little black fat man smiled knowingly and didn't make a sound.

Chen Mo, who had just been red-faced by Liu He, rushed up and said reluctantly: "You say, you go on, aren't you quite reasonable just now, why don't you say it!" ”

Liu He and the little black fat man glanced at each other, and tacitly looked at Chen Mo together, but they laughed.

Although Hanzhong is close to Yizhou, it already belongs to the north, and the climate is not as mild as Yizhou, especially in the mountains, at night, the cold wind hits, making it difficult to sleep.

Since they couldn't sleep, Liu He and the others simply gathered around the bonfire, and you and I chatted one by one, these people from the army got together, and of course the most talked about topic was war and fighting.

Although Ma Dai is young, he is very talkative, and he talks about the past of his hometown Xiliang, which is even more vivid and interesting, plus Chen Mo and Little Black Fat Man, two guys who never think it is a big deal to see the excitement, and the bonfire becomes lively all of a sudden.

They listened to Ma Dai tell a lot of things about Xiliang, learned many unknown secrets of Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and also knew the rules in the Xiliang army that were very different from those in the Central Plains.

However, what shocked them the most was a past incident that Ma Dai inadvertently brought up.

As early as when Lu Bu was still under Ding Yuan's account, he had an experience with Ma Chao.

Hearing that these two figures, who were also on the list of generals, had a confrontation, everyone was immediately interested, especially Chen Mo, urging Ma Dai to talk about the process carefully.

"It was when I was nine years old, and a group of horse thieves appeared in my uncle's territory. The most inseparable thing for us Xiliang people is horses, so we have always hated these horse thieves. If this kind of thing happened in the territory, of course my uncle had to take care of it, so he asked my brother to take troops to exterminate these horse thieves. ”

"You're nine years old?" Chen Mo waved his fingers and counted for a long time, showing a look of surprise, "You said that your brother was four years older than you, so wasn't he only thirteen years old at that time?" ”

Ma Dai thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, my brother was almost that age back then, but don't look at him as only thirteen years old, at that time, he was already a head taller than my uncle, and in our place, he has the most strength." ”

When the little black fat man heard this, his face was even more puzzled, "That's even more wrong, if he was thirteen years old that year, wouldn't Lu Bu already be twenty-eight?" That's the year of fighting, can your brother be Lu Bu's opponent? ”

Liu He glared at the two of them, and said angrily: "Listen to the little general, or listen to the two of you?" Don't you know all about it when you let the little general finish? ”

Chen Mo and the little black fat man pouted their lips in unison and didn't say anything more.

Of course they don't know, don't look at Liu He who seems to be sitting on the side all the time, in fact, among all of them, the person who wants to know the whole thing the most is Liu He.

The ranking of military generals in China has always been based on the one Lu Er, Zhao Sandianwei, four passes, five horses and six Zhang Fei, and as described in the official history, the Three Kingdoms period can really be called to crush others with an absolute advantage, in fact, there are only two people, Lu Bu and Ma Chao.
