Since Huang Zhong is so powerful, Ma Chao is thinking, is it possible to recruit him? If Huang Zhong is recruited, it will be a great help for the current Xiliang Army! The Xiliang Army currently lacks both civil servants and famous generals, except for Pang De, there is no talent who can stand alone! But then, Ma Chao gave up his idea...

The real Eastern Han Dynasty was the world of the scholars, and now Ma Chao not only can't exude the spirit of hegemony like the protagonists in the novels he saw in his previous life, so that all kinds of generals and strategists have come to vote, but because of the problem of origin, it has greatly affected the attitude of the scholars, and Ma Chao is far more difficult to recruit a talent than Liu Bei, Liu Bei's brand of the Han clan is really easy to use!

Ma Chao is a native of Fufeng Maoling, Han nationality, the descendant of Ma Yuan, the general of Han Fubo, and the ancestor Ma Yuan is a famous military strategist from the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, one of the founding heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo is a clear example, although he occupied the Jingshi with strong force, he was not tolerated by the scholars, so he was quickly wiped out by the alliance of many scholars.

Ma Chao's background is naturally better than Dong Zhuo's, and it is not easy to arouse the hatred of the scholars, but it is also difficult to recruit famous ministers and generals; Huang Zhong in front of him, and Liu Bei in history have spent a lot of effort to successfully recruit him, and the current Ma Chao has no possibility of success at all.

After all, the novel is fictional, in the novel of the previous life, the protagonist can easily subdue a large number of civil and military generals, but Ma Chao is far from having this ability, Ma Chao can only sigh bitterly: Everyone is crossing, why is the gap so big!

Since Huang Zhong could not be recruited, he must be defeated in order to relieve the siege of Hanzhong. If Liu Zhang from the west also comes to join in the fun, it will not be the enemy on the back of the abdomen, but the siege of Hanzhong on three sides!

Ma Chao thought about asking his father Ma Teng for help and transferring troops from Tianshui to help, but Tianshui had already supplied Ma Chao with 15,000 cavalry, and it was still reluctant to protect himself, and it was difficult to support Hanzhong; And Uncle Han Sui's Wuwei City is too far away, and Wuwei's army still needs to defend Li Wei's Anding City and stabilize the hearts of the Qiang people.

How to defeat the enemy? Ma Chao racked his brains... Ma Chao once again found that he urgently needed a strategist with an intelligence of more than 90, even if it was worth paying any price! Otherwise, whenever this time came, no one would discuss tactics with Ma Chao, and Ma Chao could only call Yan Pu again:

"Brother Zimao, I called you here this time to discuss how to deal with the Huang Zhongjun in front of you, and Brother Zimao can break the enemy's strategy?"

"Back to the lord, as far as the garden knows, Liu Biaojun in Jingzhou is good at water warfare, and land warfare is not Liu Biaojun's forte, and Huang Zhong is not a famous general, so the lord does not need to be afraid of it; The garden thought that with the bravery of the lord, when the city was opened, with the invincible combat power of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with the might of the defeated Li Dao army, he would be able to break the Huang Zhong army and relieve the siege of the south! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he sighed secretly, the world didn't know Huang Zhong's bravery, and Ma Chao, who had crossed over, naturally knew that if he really underestimated Huang Zhong like Yan Pu, he would definitely suffer a big defeat! However, Huang Zhong had not yet emerged at this time, the world did not know him, and it was understandable that Yan Pu did not know, so he said:

"Brother Zimao doesn't know that Huang Hansheng is a fierce general in the world, and his force is no less than mine, even if I fight with him, I have no certainty of victory! According to the situation reported by Tanma, the place where Huang Zhong's army was stationed was not conducive to cavalry assault, Huang Zhong had 5,000 spearmen and 8,000 crossbowmen, and with the cooperation of the two, they could cause huge damage to our cavalry. ”

Yan Pu secretly sighed that he underestimated Ma Chao again, Ma Chao actually knew so much about Liu Biao's army! Before the world praised the young Ma Chao's martial arts, but he also had a lot of criticism for his arrogance, now it seems that the arrogant is himself, and he is also pleased to meet such a master, Ma Chao can win not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged, and will be able to become a great weapon in the future, Zhang Lu is really unjust! When he met such a master, Yan Pu should have done his best, and then he died, so Yan Pu said:

"The saint of the lord is not as good as the garden! I don't know what the lord has to do, I wish to listen! ”

"This battle cannot be defeated, it can only be outwitted. I have made the commander of the Pingdong Army, Pang De, lead the army back to Hanzhong, and when Pang De returns, I should design a surprise attack on the crossbowmen of Huang Zhong's army, and finish his work in one battle! ”

"I want to hear about it!"

Ma Chao also wanted to tell his plan, let Yan Pu see if there were any loopholes and deficiencies, and then scrutinize and supplement, although Yan Pu was not good at strategy, it was more than enough to check and fill in the gaps, so he said:

"Huang Zhong is the fierce general of the world, but he has not been reused by Liu Biao before, his ambition has not been rewarded, and he has no opportunity to show himself, this attack, he must want to perform well, and defeating me to show Huang Zhong's personal martial arts is the best way to show his ability and improve his prestige, Huang Zhong will definitely not refuse! I want to fight a few more battles with it, with the force of me and Huang Zhong, it will not be able to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, the first few games, Huang Zhong will definitely be careful to take precautions, and after a few more battles, first, the time is delayed, our army can recover its combat strength, Pang De can also rush back to Hanzhong in time, and secondly, after a long time, Huang Zhong is also easier to relax his vigilance, our army should look for fighters at that time, assault Huang Zhong's crossbowmen, and complete his work in one battle! ”

"The lord's plan is very good, but the lord is the commander of our army, and he is a daughter, and the lord also said that he is not sure to defeat Huang Zhong, and the lord is in danger and puts his own safety at risk, is it too risky?"

"Brother Zimao, rest assured, although Chao is not sure of defeating Huang Zhongzhi, but Chao has practiced martial arts for many years, and it is more than enough to protect himself!"

"If the lord himself is not in danger, this plan should be feasible!"

"Okay, then I'll meet Huang Hansheng in Hanzhong City for a while! There is no general stationed in Yangping Pass, Brother Zimao can help me, go to Yangping Pass to defend Li Daojun, Brother Zimao remember to be cautious, Li Daojun is strong, and there is a military advisor Jia Xu to give advice to it, not to be underestimated, Yangping Pass is thick with high walls, Brother Zimao can hold on to the pass, must not go out of the pass to face the battle, after our army defeated Huang Zhongjun, since he and Pang Dechi to help Yangping Pass! ”

"Obey the orders of the lord!"

So Ma Chao ordered Yan Pu to bring a large number of city defense equipment from Hanzhong City and go to Yangping Pass to defend it. With Yan Pu stationed in Yangping Pass, Ren Jia Xu has countless schemes, and he doesn't want to capture Yangping Pass in a short time, Ma Chao has no worries, and he can concentrate on dealing with Huang Zhong!
