In fact, Matthew didn't have anything to do, but because he was too nervous before, and now he suddenly relaxed, coupled with the blood loss caused by the security injury, he fainted.

By the time Ma Chao pacified Ma Xiu and turned around to meet the main general of reinforcements, Diao Yue'e, Xue Jinlian, Li Yan and others had already entered the city.

"Haha, Zhengfang, and these two sisters, I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with, so it's too late, and I hope to forgive my sins." Seeing that Diao Yue'e and Xue Jinlian's expressions were a little cold, Ma Chao snorted and said with a smile.

Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, and then pointed at Diao Yue'e with a look of shame and said: "This name is Diao Yue'e, the chief general of our army, and this name is Xue Jinlian, who is the superintendent of the army. ”

Ma Chao asked strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Aren't you usually the pioneer? Why did he become a lieutenant today, and the other party was still ......"

"Still a woman, huh?" Diao Yue'e glanced at Ma Chao and said with some dissatisfaction: "You deliberately didn't come to greet you because I am a woman, right?" Also, you are the dignified Governor of Anxi, a member of the second-rank Governor, even if the current prime minister sees him, he has to bow and salute, and I, a small fourth-rank military attaché, will naturally not be looked at by you. ”

Diao Yue'e didn't know Ma Chao before, so naturally she didn't have any grievances, she just saw Ma Chao's extraordinary martial arts on the battlefield, even if she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to win, she secretly admired it in her heart, and silently praised: "No wonder it is known as one of the top generals of the Han Dynasty, such martial arts are indeed qualified." ”

However, when Diao Yue'e was about to say something of admiration when Ma Chao greeted him, he didn't expect Ma Chao to ignore welcoming him and returned directly to the city.

"Even though your Ma Chao is much higher than me Diao Yue'e in terms of level, but after all, my Diao Yue'e represents the emperor's order, and I helped you out of the siege as soon as I made a move, no matter what, I should greet you in person, but not only did you not greet you, but you also said such a thing, even if I Diao Yue'e has a good temper, I can't tolerate others to despise me like this, not to mention that my temper has always been bad."

It is precisely because of this that Diao Yue'e said so coldly, this is the result of her best efforts to restrain herself, if she had changed before, she might not have just brushed her sleeves away.

Ma Chao didn't expect that the other party was only a lieutenant of the Zhongfu Zhichong under the fourth grade, and he was one level younger than Li Yan in terms of official position, so he spoke to himself in such a tone, and suddenly said unhappily: "General Diao, what Ma said is just a fact, it has always been the Li Yan brothers who were pioneers before, this time I don't know why I became a deputy general, and the general is just asking, as a high-ranking general in this town, is this general not even qualified to ask?" As for you saying that Ben Jiang is not bad at greeting, this is also a misunderstanding, and Ben Jiang is too lazy to explain to you, in fact, with your official character, Ben Jiang didn't have to come to greet you at all, and the reason why you came now is just for the sake of Li Yan's brother's face. ”

"I see, Ma Dadu is a big official!" Diao Yue'e smiled coldly when she heard this, and said loudly: "Although the last general is a woman, he also goes into battle to kill the enemy, and he is not much worse than you men, you ask Li Yan, why is he willing to be our deputy general?" He was defeated under the last general, so His Majesty asked him to give up the position of vanguard officer to the last general, and he became the deputy general, but since the governor of Ma Dadu is not welcome, there is no need for the last general to live in your city, and the last general will lead the soldiers and horses to be stationed outside the city. ”

After finishing speaking, Diao Yue'e immediately ordered the whole army to leave the city immediately and set up camp outside the city.

At this time, Xue Jinlian and Li Yan saw that the matter was getting bigger, and they persuaded each other, but Diao Yue'e could not bear Ma Chao's domineering, and Ma Chao was very angry at Diao Yue'e's behavior of confronting the official so boldly, and did not accept their persuasion.

"Brother Zhengfang, you came just in time, don't leave tonight, catch up with me, let's have a good time in the camp tonight." Seeing that Diao Yue'e was leaving, Ma Chao didn't care at all, but took Li Yan's hand and said with a smile: "I really wronged you, I want to cheat and defeat a woman, you have to tell me well, whose relationship is this?" It scared you......"

Ma Chao's meaning is obvious, saying that Diao Yue'e did not rely on Li Yan to win with real skills, but only relied on other people's relationships to suppress Li Yan, so that Li Yan did not dare to do anything, so he could only obediently release the water.

Ma Chao's meaning Diao Yue'e couldn't hear it, and suddenly snorted: "Li Yan, you are the deputy general in our army, if you dare not obey the order and don't return at night, will you be dealt with by military law?" ”

This made Ma Chao even more annoyed, and said loudly: "Zhengfang, I am the supreme military commander here, and I have the final say here, I say that if you want to stay, you will stay, see who dares to touch a single hair of you?" ”

But seeing Li Yan smiled bitterly, he said to Ma Chao: "Thank you Governor Ma Dadu for your hospitality, it's just that the last general belongs to General Diao, and he doesn't dare to leave his post without permission, and I also ask Governor Ma Dadu to forgive his sins, and after this battle is over, the last general will definitely make amends to General Ma." In addition, it is so that Ma Dadu Governor knows that the last general was not a deception, but that General Diao did have such martial arts, and just in front of the two armies, General Diao killed a general under Li Yuanhao with only one combination, according to the last general, that person's martial arts are not under the last general......"

"Okay, since you don't give Ben Jiang face like this, Ben Jiang has nothing to say." Seeing Li Yan's refusal, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't embarrass Diao Yue'e, and it was difficult to breathe out of his heart, and he said with a gloomy face: "General Diao, this is because you refuse to enter the city, but it's not that I won't let you in, when Your Majesty asks, don't make a small report, hum, even if you fight, I'm not afraid, Your Majesty is my brother-in-law, what can you do to me?" ”

Diao Yue'e ignored him, just led the army out of the city, and secretly decided in her heart that she must fight a beautiful battle to impress the arrogant and domineering Ma Chao.

And that night, in Li Yuanhao's camp, a literati named Xue Yuanli said to Li Yuanhao: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." ”

Li Yuanhao frowned and said: "On the battlefield today, our army has lost two generals, and nearly 3,000 people have died under his command, how can you be happy?" ”

Xue Yuanli said with a smile: "For this news, the loss of two generals and the death and injury of 3,000 people is nothing, because the king can have the opportunity to capture and kill Ma Chao and make a great contribution!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? Li Yuanhao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, the king doesn't know, after our army withdrew today, in Cangsong City, Ma Chao and the Han generals who rushed to support had a conflict, tomorrow we only need to do this, we can break Ma Chao, Ma Chao is gone, just with two female generals, how can we defend Cangsong City?"

Next, Xue Yuanli said something in Li Yuanhao's ear, and Li Yuanhao, who spoke directly, laughed and said to Xue Yuanli: "Yuanli, this is really a good idea, if this plan is sold, this king will definitely reward him heavily!" ”
