That night, Su Chen held a grand dinner in Tongquetai, entertaining Xu You, the envoy of Wei, Xu You became the protagonist of the whole banquet, and his vanity was greatly satisfied. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu You only stayed in Yan Country for three days, and these three days of beautiful women, wine and food made Xu You so happy that he couldn't find the north, if it weren't for the military emergency, he definitely didn't want to leave, he hadn't had enough of such a good life.

Before leaving, Guo Jia once again gave Xu You ten beauties, ten jars of wine, and the rest of the gifts filled five carts, and Xu You returned to Yecheng with these things.

After returning to Yecheng, Xu You learned Su Chen's posture and tone vividly, which made Yuan Shaoxin believe that it was true, and immediately promised that all the grain, grass and ordnance of the Yan army would be provided by him, and he would give Yan an additional 500,000 quintals of grain.

Yuan Shao was really wealthy, Su Chen thought that he was a bastard if he was cheap, and immediately ordered Zhang Liao's Han Ying to accompany the army, but the condition was to remove all the iron armor, 50,000 cavalry, 150,000 infantry, Su Chen asked Zhang Liao, the governor of Qingzhou, Xu Chu, the governor of Youzhou, and Zhu Lingle, the deputy governor, to go out with the army.

At the same time, in order to deal with Lu Bu, the world's number one general, he specially asked Wang Yuedianwei to accompany the army, and as for the strategist, he only brought Guo Jiaxun and Cheng Yu.

Su Chen also asked the Military Aircraft Department to give an order to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce to strictly prevent Liu Biao from taking the opportunity to send troops to Yangzhou to support Lu Bu.

When Yuan Shao saw Su Chen's 200,000 soldiers with uneven armor, he really gasped, if it weren't for the fact that he and Su Chen were now princes and kings, he would have thought that the other party was specially here to fight the autumn wind.

Yuan Shao provided ordnance for the 200,000 army, which is a lot of wealth, almost a year's tax for the entire Jizhou, but this meat must be cut, in order to maintain his position as the overlord of the princes, these are things outside the body.

Yuan Shao sent 300,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry and 270,000 infantry, and these 30,000 cavalry were all gathered by Yuan Shao with great effort, he is not Su Chen's wealth, most of his war horses are purchased from the Wuyuan Chamber of Commerce, and the price is extremely high.

The two armies combined in one place, the 500,000 army set off from Wei County in an instant, and went straight to Luoyang, the first thing the coalition army had to deal with was Guan Yu who was entrenched in Xingyang, Su Chen suggested to Yuan Shao: "King Wei, now the biggest enemy of our coalition army is Lu Bu, if we send troops to attack Xingyang, then there will be one more enemy, once Guan Yu raids the rear of our army, it will be very unfavorable for our coalition army, I heard that Gao Shun does not completely buy Lu Bu's account, we might as well take the opportunity to win over Guan Yu, at least we can't let him make a bad deal behind our back, so that we can concentrate on dealing with Lu Bu, What does King Wei think? ”

"This plan is feasible, but to persuade Guan Yu to quit Xingyang, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing, King Yan is willing to give it a try?"

"It's my duty!" So Su Chen immediately sent Guo Jia to negotiate with Guo Huai stationed in Xingyang, and finally Guo Huai was instructed by Guan Yu to redeem Xingyang at the price of 50,000 loads of grain and grass, although the price was a bit high, but Yuan Shao still agreed.

After Guo Huai withdrew from Xingyang, Yuan Shao took the opportunity to occupy Xingyang, and finally took Wen Chou, a lone army.

The coalition soldiers were under the Tiger Prison, and Xu Rong, who had closed the pass, saw the mighty army and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so he hung up the war-free card, but not everyone was as cautious as Xu Rong, Ma Chao's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and the only one who could suppress him in the Xiliang Army was Lu Bu, and no one could surrender this fierce horse except Lu Bu.

Ma Chao raised his arms in the pass, and shouted to the cavalry under his command: "Brothers, the thief army is calling for war outside the city, we are invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry, can we endure this?" ”

"Can't!"

"Okay, brothers, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!" Ma Chao ignored Xu Rong's obstruction and led his troops out of the customs to meet the battle.

saw a cavalry suddenly rush out of the pass, the general led by him had a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a meteor, a tiger body and ape arms, and a wolf's waist; With a spear in his hand and a horse in his hand, he flew out of the array.

Yuan Shao looked at it, and felt like a mighty general, and couldn't help but ask left and right: "Do you know this person?" ”

"Back to the prince, this person should be Ma Chao, the eldest son of Ma Teng, who betrayed the lord and rebelled against the minister, his subordinates had heard Ma Teng talk about it, Ma Chao claimed to be an invincible opponent in the Xiliang army, except for Lu Bu, no one was convinced, I think it must be him."

"It turned out to be Ma Teng's son, which of you is going to fight him?" For Ma Teng, Yuan Shao was quite resentful, and he was not interested in this Ma supernatural.

"Lord Wang, the last general will ask for battle."

Yuan Shao fixed his eyes and saw that it was Meng Dai, the general under his command, who asked for the battle, and this Meng Dai was also an old man who followed him, and he could only rank second-rate under his command, Yuan Shao didn't believe how powerful this Ma Chao could be, so he nodded and agreed to him to fight.

"Phew!" Ma Chao stopped his horse, and the Xiliang cavalry behind him also stopped in an instant, and this step alone made Su Chen's eyes shine.

"It is rumored that there have been two masters under Lu Bu in recent years, one is Ma Chao, the other is Zhang Xiu, these two people are very outstanding in both martial arts and leading soldiers, and they have won the trust of Lu Bu, although this king has not seen Zhang Xiu, but just looking at Ma Chao's control of the cavalry, this king dares to conclude that this Ma Chao is definitely the first cavalry general in the Xiliang Army in addition to Lu Bu, and there are only a handful in the world.

Guo Jia knew that his lord never said big things, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be interested in this Ma Chao, but Xu Chu answered with some disapproval: "The prince also thinks too highly of him Ma Chao, although Ma Chao is good at controlling the cavalry, but if he is against the last general, his cavalry may not be able to beat the infantry under the last general." ”

"Zhong Kang must not underestimate Ma Chao, you have been guarding by the king's side all the year round, and you don't know as well as Wen Yuan about the strength of the cavalry, if you let Wen Yuan say a fair word, you will know that what this king said is true."

Sure enough, after Su Chen's voice fell, everyone looked at Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao is now the governor of the town guarding one side, his aura is very strong, and he is not afraid of the eyes of everyone, and replied bluntly: "The lord is right, but this Ma Chao has some strength, if it is the same equipment, the same number of soldiers, the two armies are close to each other, and the last general does not dare to say that he can defeat him, but ......"
