Ma Chao and Pang De staged a picture of a gentleman and a minister in the big tent, whether it was Ma Chao or Pang De, as if they were suddenly ambitious. Even Ma Dai, who saw Ma Chao again, felt that Ma Chao seemed to have been reborn, not only did he regain his former heroism, but also became much more stable.

To be honest, Ma Chao's depressed state a few days ago really worried Ma Dai. After all, Ma Chao has been on the battlefield all these years, and he has almost no defeats, and there are no people who can be Ma Chao's opponents in various departments of Qiangdi. After so many years of smooth sailing, it is normal for people to be depressed and unbelievable. But Ma Dai was still worried that Ma Chao would collapse because of this and be lost.

But now it seems that Ma Chao is worthy of being the descendant of General Fubo, although he was defeated by Gao Ye, the growth that followed is also obvious. Besides, Gao Ye's fame has shocked the world for 20 years, and Ma Chao is only in his early twenties this year, even if he loses to Gao Ye, what is there to be ashamed of? Ma Dai knows this truth, in fact, Ma Chao also understands it in his heart, but he has always been invincible, but now he has suddenly suffered a big defeat, and it is difficult to accept it for a while. Now not only has Pang De returned safely, Ma Chao himself has also heard Gao Ye's praise for himself and his analysis of his defeat from Pang De's mouth. The former made him feel a little happy in his heart, while the latter aroused his desire to win.

What's more, Ma Chao finally knew where he lost in this battle, and also understood the gap between himself and Gao Ye in grasping the overall situation. In Ma Chao's view, it is not terrible to have a gap, as long as you catch up, there will always be a time to catch up. I'm afraid that I don't know how far behind I am, and I don't know what my ability is. Originally, I always thought that I was the first in Xiliang, but I didn't expect that Yan Xing, martial arts are not much different from myself, this ability to use tricks, I really can't beat the horse.

Compared with Ma Chao's calmness, Ma Dai can be regarded as angry and abnormal for Yan Xing's tricks. After all, this battle, with so many brothers killed, made Ma Dai very sad. Especially now that I know that the culprit of all this is actually Yan Xing, who has been comforting everyone and putting on a good old man's appearance. This kind of anger that has suffered great damage and deceived has made Ma Dai's whole person irritable. The big tent was even more scolding, threatening to kill Yan Xing's old thief and avenge everyone.

However, Pang De on the side rarely did not agree with Ma Dai, but instead shook his hand, looked at Ma Dai and said: "Yan Xing's old thief has harmed countless of my soldiers, and it is only a matter of time before the young general kills him, but not now!" Although Yan Xing is hateful, he is excellent in martial arts and has a strategy, and we are now facing the attack of Gao Ye, and we must not cause chaos within the coalition army. When I returned, I saw that Yan Xing was arranging the city defenses, and Bu Dugen had already sent soldiers and horses to harass Gao Ye. At the moment of the great enemy, I think we should put aside our grievances for the time being and retreat from the enemy together. When this battle is over, with the ability of the young general, it is easy to kill Yan Xing, why rush at this time? ”

Although Ma Dai didn't reply when he heard this, the anger on his face couldn't be concealed no matter what, but his eyes looked at Ma Chao above. Ma Chao heard Pang De's words, and he was also very unhappy, after all, he had suffered such a big loss, if he didn't get it back, he really couldn't get over it. But after thinking about it, what Pang De said made sense, now that the enemy is present, if he starts an internal conflict with Yan Xing again, there will be no need to fight this battle. What Pang De said is reasonable, it is easy to kill Yan Xing, and there is no need to rush at this time.

Therefore, Ma Chao nodded slowly, and said with a long sigh in Ma Dai's surprised gaze: "Deshan, I think what Ling Ming said is reasonable, this is not the time to settle accounts with Yan Xing." Saying that, Ma Chao stood up, gently pressed Ma Dai's body that wanted to stand up and theorize, looked at Ma Dai and said fiercely: "That Yan Xing's old thief harmed my soldiers, and I, Ma Mengqi, will not rest with him!" But my father and they are still fighting with Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses in martial arts, if we are in chaos here and are defeated by Gao Ye, my father will be in danger. When Ma Dai heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, nodded reluctantly, and only heard Ma Chao say again: "So we don't have to rush at this time." However, this Yan Xing should still be beaten, lest he think that General Ben is easy to bully. ”

Ma Chao's approach made Pang De feel a little relieved and happy, after all, if Ma Chao's temper was in the past, he would have taken his soldiers to fight with Yan Xing at this time. But now Ma Chao can actually think of focusing on the overall situation, which is a huge progress. It seems that this defeat was not in vain, and those dead comrades-in-arms were not sacrificed in vain. At least today's Ma Chao is more like a qualified general than a child.

However, if Gao Ye knew that Ma Chao had made this decision, it was estimated that his intestines would be repentant. Pang De, a general, has been thinking about Ma Chao since Gao Ye knew that Ma Chao was here. When he learned that Pound was captured, Gao Ye wanted to sing a song if he didn't care about the face of the commander-in-chief of the Western Front. After all, as a later generation, Pound's battle against Guan Yu is also a story that makes people's blood boil. If it weren't for Gao Ye in order to turn Ma Chao and Yan Xing against each other and let the enemy army mess up, Gao Ye would never have let Pang De go. But now Ma Chao wants to focus on the overall situation, and this wave of operations in the high night really lost his wife and soldiers.

Of course, if Sima Yi's side had brought the battle report of the defeat of Ma Teng and Han Sui to the desk two days earlier, Gao Ye would not have let Pang De go. Even if Pang De surrendered himself not far away, it would be okay to imprison him, so why send him back to increase the combat power of Ma Chaojun in vain. It's a pity that things are so wrong, in the end, Gao Ye still gave the cooked duck back in order to buy more time for Xiahou Yuan's side.

Therefore, after Gao Ye received Sima Yi's battle report, he sighed even more, shook his head and sighed to Gao Shun in the big tent: "You said this news, if I had known about it two days earlier, why would I send Pang De back to Ma Chao!" ”

However, for this kind of thing, Gao Shun has always been not very talkative. For him, it is enough to train a good soldier and fight a good battle. But maybe there is one more now, that is, to kill Ma Chao and avenge Han De. After all, Han De was captured by Gao Shun from Luoyang back then, and since then, he has been in the trap camp as his deputy general. It's been almost ten years now. Such feelings made Gao Shun rarely show signs of emotional collapse when he learned that Han De had died in battle, and he prepared ordnance and materials with all his life and trained the soldiers who were trapped in the camp. After Gao Ye ordered the troops, the whole person was in a murderous state, as if he would not destroy Ma Chao and swear not to be a man.

This state was not alleviated until Ma Chao was defeated. Now hearing Gao Ye's words, Gao Shun did not say a word, but said: "General Xiahou has already won a big victory, as long as you take a little rest, you can come to support." Lord, when will we march into Yaxian County and completely exterminate Ma Chao and that Budugen? ”

Gao Ye shook his head when he heard this: "It's easy to beat them away, but it's hard for you to kill them." Our troops are already insufficient, even if we transfer all the soldiers and horses of the entire division, we can't completely wipe out Budugen. These days, when the Xianbei people come to harass, you also feel it, we have few cavalry, and we can win against the Xianbei people, and we can't catch up, forget it this time, there will be an opportunity in the future, go north and completely kill these aliens! Now, let's set up camp here first and see when Ma Chao and Yan Xing will turn against each other. As soon as the two of them fight among themselves, it will be much easier to break the enemy, and they will not be in a hurry. By the way, is there any news from Hanoi? ”

Gao Shun shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Not yet." ”

Gao Ye sighed lightly and said, "This Xu Shu, how did you do it, I have made so many arrangements in Bingzhou, why hasn't he helped Feng to enter Bingzhou first?" This Guo Yuan is so powerful, can he actually stop Feng Xian and Yuan Zhi from joining forces? Hiss...... Isn't it that Feng Xian is stubborn and self-serving, and doesn't listen to people? ”

In the face of Gao Ye's self-talk, Gao Shun also had nothing to say, after all, this is 108,000 miles away from Hanoi, who knows what the situation in Hanoi is now. The military report didn't come, maybe he was just on the road, spitting and complaining at night, it was just his unconscious behavior, at this time, just stay quiet without saying anything.

As for Lu Bu and Xu Shu, who were thinking about Gao Ye at this time, they were already standing in Gaodu City at this moment. Seeing the towering walls of the high capital city, Lu Bu admired Xu Shu even more in his heart at this moment. After all, if it weren't for Xu Shu's repeated tricks, what kind of smile he hid the knife, and what kind of tricks he had to hide from the world, he would not have been able to take the high capital city garrisoned by Guo Yuan only at the cost of more than 500 casualties.

This time, he was ordered to attack and merge with the state, which can be said to be the first time since Xuzhou returned to Shun, he led his troops to fight as the main general of the road. After holding it for so long, Lu Bu has long been itching, and how much he looks forward to returning to the scenery of the past pilots, maybe only Lu Bu himself knows. Now this first battle is so brilliant, Lu Bu simply wants to pull Xu Shu to get drunk and rest. Speaking of which, Lu Bu was embarrassed to say that when he received Gao Ye's military order for him to take the state, he got drunk in the room alone that night.

It's just that the proposal to drink has just come out, and Xu Shu, who was dealing with the official documents, shook his head like a rattle, and said in embarrassment: "Wen Hou, we still have the whole merger to fight next, can we drink this wine after we take the merger?" Seeing that Lu Bu's face was a little unkind, Xu Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Even if we drink it, let's stop it, otherwise let Situ know, and we have to pull out my skin." Seeing that Lu Bu's face was stunned and nodded, Xu Shu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, handed the document in his hand to Lu Bu and said: "Wen Hou, come and see, this is my military report to Situ, if Wen Hou thinks it's okay, sign it and send it out as soon as possible." ”
