Outside Pujia Pass, Wei Yan camped in the village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"General, General Ma Chao has been out of the customs a few times, and there is nothing to do, why is the military division so careful this time, not only sent General Zhang Ren, but also let us wait in the camp at any time, is it a mistake in the judgment of the military division? I see that the enemy is obviously scared by General Ma Chao these days, otherwise why didn't General Ma Chao go out of the customs two times ago, but the enemy didn't move? The deputy general next to Wei Yan said.

"Shut up, you know what." Wei Yan said with an angry face. "However, the military division's order this time is indeed a little incomprehensible, and we are waiting for the news of General Zhang Ren in the camp, if everything is as the military division said, otherwise I will definitely ask the military division to give an explanation."

Outside Pujia Pass, Zhang Ren camped in the village.

After Zhang Ren returned to the camp, he asked his soldiers to prepare in a hurry. This is the first time that General Zhang Ren personally led his troops to fight the enemy after he arrived under Liu Bei's account, Zhang Ren naturally knew how important this battle was, so Zhang Ren took up his three thousand elite soldiers and set off with Liu Bi and Deng Xian. After Zhang Ren surrendered to Liu Bei, Liu Bei, in order to show his benevolence and trust in Zhang Ren, did not separate the three generals Zhang Ren, Liu Bi, and Deng Xian, and the three were still together, Zhang Ren was the main general, and Liu Bi and Deng Xian were deputy generals.

Hanzhong Nanzheng, the hall of the council.

The next day, Cao Cao was discussing Hanzhong matters with the generals and advisers in the palace, when a general came to the outside of the hall, and after obtaining permission, he entered the hall and told Cao Cao that General Ma Chao had led about 2,000 soldiers out of the customs half an hour ago. When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed out loud and said happily:

"Zhongda's plan worked, and this time the horse will see how it runs. Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Jaw, the two generals, each of you immediately led 5,000 elite cavalry to capture Ma Chao. ”

Two days later, Shi Yuan was in the council hall when a guard came in to report that General Ma Chao had led his army back to Pujia Pass. Outside the conference hall, I saw Wei Yan and Zhang Ren standing together, whispering something, after seeing Shi Yuan come out, the two hurriedly came to Shi Yuan's side and whispered something to Shi Yuan, and after the two finished speaking, Shi Yuan nodded and said, "I know everything, the two generals are fortunate." The two generals were also asked to hurry to their respective camps to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy. ”

After the two generals left, Shi Yuan came to General Ma Chao's side, at this time Ma Chao was kneeling on the ground, his arm was still bleeding, Ma Dai also knelt next to him, looking at Ma Dai's expression should be to stop Ma Chao's bleeding, but he stayed there and didn't dare to move, it is estimated that Ma Chao didn't let him do it!

"Meng Qi, I know everything, the two generals just told me. Cao Cao sent more than 10,000 elite cavalry, which was also beyond my expectations, and this matter is not all your problem. Shi Yuan said.

Ma Chao, who was kneeling, looked up at Shi Yuan at this time, and said in a sad voice:

"Two thousand Xiliang disciples, and now dozens of people have returned, all blame me, I have to go out of the customs and don't listen to the admonition of the military advisor. I once promised them to lead them back to Xiliang and return to their hometown in a dignified manner, but now these people have no chance.

Thinking of me, Meng Qi, in the past, he did all the soldiers of Xiliang to avenge his father, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and in the end there were only 5,000 people left, but now I can't even keep 5,000 people, how can I be worthy of these Xiliang soldiers who are loyal to me. What is the meaning of living for such a person? ”

"Meng Qi, defeat is not terrible, and sacrifice is not terrible, but you want to make these soldiers loyal to you die worthwhile, and let these soldiers who died for you return to their hometown after death. I think you Meng Qi was a famous general in the world, but now you have been beaten by a defeat and bent over, have you ever been worthy of your dead father? Now are you still the Meng Qi who dared to fight Cao Cao's decisive battle, or the Meng Qi who once killed Cao Cao to cut off his beard and robe? Coward, you are a coward now. ”

"I'm not, I'm not, I'm not!" Ma Chao rubbed it, stood up, and said to Shi Yuan with a hideous face.

"No, it's ridiculous, look at the way you look now, the armor is scattered, the weapons are thrown aside, are you the appearance of a soldier? You say you're not a coward, okay, then you pick up the spear on the ground, and then get back on your feet and be a real Ma Mengqi. Shi Yuan also shouted angrily at this time, and then stared at Ma Chao directly, looking at each other, and the two of them had angry faces on their faces.

Shi Yuan knew that he couldn't afford to retreat at this time, otherwise he would lose all his previous efforts. The two of them looked at each other for about half an hour, only to see Ma Chao raise his head and yell at the sky, "Ahhh......h

"I, Ma Chao, swear here, if I can't lead the soldiers back to my hometown, I swear not to be a man! Ah......h

After Ma Chao finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out, walked a few steps, and then turned around and walked towards Shi Yuan, and after arriving in front of Shi Yuan, he bowed down deeply with his hand and said, "Thank you, military advisor." Then he turned and walked away. After Ma Dai saw it, he gestured to the military division, and then left with Ma Chao.

After Shi Yuan saw Ma Chao's actions, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is nearly December, since that day after Ma Chao went to the enemy to ambush, the two sides have been very calm in this half month, as if they have discussed it, and neither side has made any moves. On this day, Shi Yuan was studying with Guangyou in his residence, Huang Quan hurriedly walked in, and when he arrived at Shi Yuan's side, he said that the messenger of the Lord Gong had arrived at Pujia Pass and was now waiting in the council hall.

After Shi Yuan and Huang Quan came to the conference hall, they saw that there was a person sitting in the conference hall, Shi Yuan took a closer look, it was General Zhao Yun Zhao, Shi Yuan hurriedly walked to General Zhao Yun's side, and then said: "Zilong has been fortunate all the way. ”

After Zhao Yun saw Shi Yuan coming in, he also stood up in a hurry, and after hearing Shi Yuan's words, he also hurriedly said: "The military advisor is polite, this is what Zilong should do." After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Shi Yuan. Shi Yuan took the letter, hurriedly opened it and looked down, and after a while, Shi Yuan looked up and said happily,

"Okay."
