Ma Chao looked at the men and horses led by Ma Dai, and there were only 1,000 people, and hurriedly asked: "Didn't Wei Yan say that he allocated 4,000 men and horses to your command?" Why are we all left with our own people? ”

Ma Dai pouted: "I handed them all over to General Deng Zhi." The vertex update is the fastest, and I don't want Wei Yan to arrange my actions. I'm going to be with my big brother! We are all cavalry, and what Da Sima has given us is to move quickly, attack everywhere, and confuse the enemy. If you bring a few thousand foot soldiers, how can you move quickly? ”

said this reason, but Ma Chao still felt a little angry: "So far, I have sent a thousand cavalry to help him pick up people, but you don't want his men and horses, isn't it a big loss?" ”

Ma Dai was not interested in caring about whether he lost anything or not, so he was anxious to ask his eldest brother how he had been doing in the past few days.

"Tongguan has been taken down, I will leave Wei Yan in Tongguan and let him stay honest for a few days. He now has only more than 100 people left, plus more than 100 wounded soldiers, so he can only stay in Tongguan honestly and guard! As soon as Ma Chao said it, there was a feeling that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh?" Ma Dai couldn't bear it anymore, "Big brother, why did you let him only bring more than a hundred people to guard Tongguan, can he hold it?" ”

Ma Chao also felt that he had gone too far when he thought about it, but he still said: "Didn't I take the initiative to attack and defeat the reinforcements sent by the enemy to Tongguan, also to help him guard Tongguan?" ”

"This ......," Ma Dai didn't know what to say, "what if the enemy sends reinforcements from the direction of Luoyang?" ”

"Alright, alright." Ma Chao was impatient, "Since you are here, then you can lead a thousand men and horses, send five hundred first, and rush to Tongguan to help him guard Tongguan first, and send another five hundred horsemen to escort this captive team of nearly 1,000 people to Tongguan." ”

"Oh," Ma Dai agreed, and then asked, "Brother, didn't Wei Yan bring five hundred men and horses, why are there only more than a hundred people in Tongguan?" ”

"All dead!" Ma Chao scolded angrily, and then told Ma Dai about the attack on Tongguan and the pick-up and drop-off of Wei Yanhou's army.

Ma Dai frowned, he also felt that the two brothers were used by Wei Yan, and he was very unhappy, although he had to focus on the overall situation, he still had to help him, but he couldn't be too cheap That guy, he had to find a chance to tease him too.

"Brother, otherwise, let's capture this Zheng County too." Ma Dai looked at the county seat in front of him, and suddenly had such an idea.

"No, no, no!" Ma Chao's head shook like a rattle, this kind of thing is not for cavalry, especially since he just watched the siege performance of the Wudang army, and realized that the ruler is short and long.

"Forget it, don't worry about it so much. First, send someone to escort the captives to Tongguan, and by the way, go there to replenish food. Ma Chao felt that it was better to take advantage of the enemy's lack of reaction everywhere, and quickly give full play to the advantages of cavalry and kill the enemy more.

If it weren't for Wei Yanlai to fight Tongguan, he would have to leave a lot of people to guard at this time.

Speaking of merit, under Liu Bei, he is already a hussar general and a Liangzhou pastor, no matter how much he talks about his military exploits, his status has reached the top.

However, it is not possible to attack the city, if you can occupy a city without fighting like entering the upper city, you can give it a try.

Thinking of this, he whispered a few words to Ma Dai.

Ma Dai nodded repeatedly.

Ma Chao divided his men and horses to support Tongguan and escorted the prisoners away.

The two brothers led the crowd to surround Zheng County for two hours, and the enemy no longer dared to attack, so they immediately left Zheng County and rushed westward together.

In Chang'an City, Xiahou Ru sent Zhang Shun out for three days, and received the news that Deng Zhi had led nearly 10,000 troops to the vicinity of Huaili and was about to come to Chang'an.

At the beginning, he asked him to guard Chang'an and support all roads at any time, but he didn't expect that so many enemies would pour into this place at once, it would be good if he could protect Chang'an City, and also support all roads, what kind of support?

I don't know how Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, and Guo Huai fought, really.

Now, not only will he not care about other places, but this Chang'an City, he has already ordered the city gate to be closed, no matter who wants to enter Chang'an, he must wait for him to see it in person before he can be released.

The defenders of the city came to report that Zhang Shun, the general who had been sent out, had sent someone back and asked him to hurry over.

How did they come back so quickly? Xiahou Ru couldn't figure it out, so he hurried to the city to check.

Outside the city, hundreds of cavalrymen, dressed in the clothes of the Wei army and waving the banner of the Wei State, were neatly lined up there, shouting loudly to open the door quickly.

Xiahou Ru shouted at them: "Don't make noise! Which general's subordinate are you, and why did you get to Chang'an City? ”

The cavalry outside the city shouted in unison: "My lord, we are the subordinates of General Zhang Shun who were sent to support Tongguan a few days ago." We arrived at Tongguan, where the defenders had been reinforced. Ma Chao's troops were all light horses, and they couldn't attack by force, and they suffered heavy casualties and had fled. ”

Horse overrun? Xiahou Ru hurriedly asked, "Where did he run again?" ”

Outside the city, he replied: "My lord, he turned around and ran back, and we have been chasing him." Running and running, chasing him away. We were also worried that he would suddenly come here while he was not on guard in Chang'an City, so we hurried back first. My lord, open the gates of the city quickly, and let us go in and rest for a while. Now we, whether we are humans or horses, are tired and hungry. ”

"Who are you leading now?" That Zhang Shun's subordinates were originally Xiahou Ru's subordinates, but he looked at these people outside the city, all of them were very angry, Xiahou Ru said in his heart, I don't need you to remind me, I am very cautious in defense.

A horse from outside the city stepped forward from the ranks: "My lord, I am General Zhang Shun's general Wang Bi." Open the gates of the city, and let us go in and rest. ”

This one is recognized, it is indeed called Wang Bi, but that guy has always led the infantry army, how could he suddenly lead hundreds of cavalry back, and what did he say about chasing Ma Chao?

After a closer inspection, he faintly felt that this king would come out of battle, and there was no smug of winning the battle to pursue the fleeing enemy, but the horsemen behind him seemed to be staring at him viciously, spying on him.

"Wang Bi, I think you became a prisoner of the enemy, surrendered to the enemy, and wanted to lure me into letting the enemy into the city!" Xiahou Ru thought for a moment, and suddenly asked loudly.

Although it is not certain, there can be no more mistakes in this time of crisis.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the king would panic all of a sudden, and immediately looked back at the cavalry behind him.

Xiahou Ru strengthened his opinion, and immediately shouted again: "Say!" Who the hell are you? ”

Isn't this nonsense? Suddenly, another rider from the city stepped forward and shouted at Xiahou Ru: "I didn't expect you guys to be quite cunning." Listen, I'm the younger brother of the Han hussar general Ma Chao, and the Han hussar general Ma Dai is also! ”

It's over, it's really Ma Chao's people, it seems that Zhang Shun's 3,000 men and horses must have been killed, Xiahou Ru is remorseful and angry, regretting that he shouldn't listen to Zhang Shun's persuasion, and he has to let him support Tongguan.

However, if I really ignore Tongguan, then Tongguan is lost, and I can't afford it!

The angry thing is that Zhang Shun, you were defeated too quickly, and you were defeated, so you didn't even leave anyone to come to Chang'an to report to me, but let a traitor Wang Bi lead the enemy army to come first.

"Wang Bi, you betray and surrender to the enemy, and you deserve death!" Now Xiahou Ru can only scold and scold people to get angry.

"Hahaha!" Ma Dai replied for Wang Bi, "Don't be poor here, you better think about yourself!" ”

Then his face sank, and he shouted: "The defenders of the city listen! Just yesterday, Tongguan has been taken by our army! The reinforcements you sent out have also been wiped out! In the face of the torrent of our Ma family's iron horses, any resistance will be in vain! All of you must recognize the situation, this world will definitely return to the rule of my Han Emperor, the world will be one, and the surname of the Son of Heaven is Liu! Those who know affairs, tie up Xiahou Ru to me as soon as possible, go out of the city and surrender, and still be loyal to my Han loyal subjects and obedient people, and our Han Emperor His Majesty will definitely reward you for your merits and deeds to ensure your wealth and glory! ”

"Whew!" Xiahou Ru, who was cautious by nature, and even Xiahou Ru, who was considered a little cowardly, couldn't help but scold, "Just because you, the brothers of the Ma family who have no father and no king, dare to make a big deal of nonsense here?" At the beginning, as soon as Emperor Wei Wu arrived in Guanzhong, he beat you and fled, and later Xiahou conquered the west and drove you out of Liangzhou. You fled in embarrassment, killed your father, brother, wife and children, and couldn't even save your own family, and you still have the face to shout here to protect glory and wealth? ”

"Do you think that if you take refuge in Liu Bei now, you will be able to fake the tiger? Wasn't Liu Bei beaten around by Emperor Wei Wu in his life, sending people everywhere and stealing his life? You are really a raccoon dog, the smell is the same, a nest of snakes and rats, embarrassed and treacherous......" Xiahou Ru's kung fu is not ordinary.

Ma Dai was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he scolded back: "You ......! But after only saying one word, he couldn't think of words, as if all the words had been used by Xiahou Ru first.

Xiahou Ru is still chattering in the city: "Now that my Great Wei is allowed by Han Chan, the world is ...... heart."

After scolding for a long time, he was still angry, and waved again, commanding the defenders to shoot arrows in chaos.

Ma Dai couldn't scold, and he couldn't forcibly attack the city, so after staying for a while, he had to lead the army to leave and go to see Ma Chao, who was still hiding in the distance.

"Big brother......" He was about to cry, feeling that he had embarrassed the Ma family today.

Ma Chao was very frustrated, but he didn't expect that the idea of letting his brother pretend to be a sneak attack again would be the result.

Fortunately, after many failures that year, he still saw through some of them, and he, who had always been short-tempered, turned to comfort Ma Dai: "Okay, okay, that Xiahou Ru knows that he has a great responsibility to protect Chang'an, and he is cautious by nature, so it is normal that he has not been able to deceive him." ”

"However, brother ......" Ma Dai was so unwilling, he wanted to build a great achievement, but he was angry.

Ma Chao sighed and said: "Forget it, in terms of tricks, we are really not as good as them." Let's quickly gather our men and horses and go against the enemy army that has retreated from Longyou. (To be continued.) )
