After a truce for nearly ten days, Lu Bu's army did not attack Dasanguan again, and everything seemed quiet, which made Ma Bin feel a little uneasy.

"Could it be that Lu Bu is really dead?" Ma Bin made a bold guess, but looking at the camp of Lu Bu's army that was still surrounding in front of the Dasan Pass, it didn't look like it.

After nearly ten days of recuperation, Wang Meng's body recovered quite quickly, and he and Ma Bin stood together on the Dasan Pass on this day. Ma Bin pointed to the army under the pass and said: "After ten days of recuperation, the combat strength of our army has almost recovered, this general plans to set off tomorrow to attack Zhang Liao with Pang De, this time we must take Zhang Liao, this big scattered pass will be handed over to you!" ”

Wang Meng nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, with Wang Meng here, I will definitely not let anything go wrong in Dasanguan!" It's just that I don't know how many soldiers and horses the lord plans to bring this time? ”

Ma Bin said: "Recently, although there are six or seven thousand recruits in Dasanguan, they have not yet undergone strict training, in order to avoid Lu Bu's army from attacking Dasanguan again, this time I will go, and it is enough for this general to bring three thousand men and horses!" ”

"Three thousand centaurs?" Wang Meng looked at Ma Bin incredulously, when Zhang Liao was ordered to block Pang De's attack, there were 15,000 men and horses under his command, although after this period of tug-of-war, Wang Meng estimated that there should be tens of thousands of men under Zhang Liao's command, after all, he and Pang De have always been small battles, but there has never been a big war. And Wang Meng also understood that Zhang Liao's task should be very simple, that is, as long as he blocked Pang De's further eastward advance.

Seeing Wang Meng so surprised, Ma Bin just smiled quite calmly: "What? General Wang doesn't believe in General Ben? ”

Wang Meng hurriedly said: "It's not, it's just that now although Pang De said that he is in alliance with us, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it would be better for the lord to bring more people to the lord!" Just in case! ”

Ma Bin said: "General Wang can wait for the good news of General Ben!" Everything is under the control of this general and military division, and there will be no accidents! ”

Wang Meng heard Ma Bin say this. It's not good to say anything, but he suddenly clasped his fists with both hands and said: "The last general wishes the lord a great victory in this battle!" ”

Ma Bin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "General Ben personally went out of the horse, that Zhang Liaoyan has the truth of being undefeated!" Rest assured! ”

After speaking, Ma Bin seemed to suddenly think of something, and he said to Wang Meng: "That Han Zhong is a malleable talent", during the period of General Ben's absence. You help General Ben supervise him well! Let the recruits take care of their training. ”

After Wang Meng nodded, Ma Bin went down to prepare.

The next day, Ma Bin took 3,000 cavalry to pass through Xiazhi, crossed Niutou Mountain, and rushed directly to the direction of Huining. It was quite hard to trek through mountains and rivers all the way, but Ma Bin paid attention to speed in battle, so the cavalry under his command naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In addition, there are hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry to set an example, and those cavalrymen also think that they can join the tiger and leopard cavalry one day, so they are all full of energy to rush forward.

It didn't take long. When Ma Bin led the army in a big circle and finally arrived at a place ten miles south of Huining, he was relieved.

On this road, he led the cavalry to march day and night, just to hide people's eyes, after all, the four counties of Longxi, Nan'an, Tianshui, and Guangwei are still in the hands of Lu Bu's army. However, to Ma Bin's delight, there were not many soldiers stationed in these four counties, perhaps because Lü Bu focused on Dasanguan and dealing with Pang De's army.

Although it is said that there is still a ten-mile road in Huining, the place where the camp is encamped, the terrain in this area is flat and open, and Ma Bin's command is full of cavalry. If you want to get to Huining, it's a matter of blink of an eye.

Zhang Liao and Pang De's army confronted each other thirty miles east of Huining, and Huining had already fallen into the hands of Pang De. Zhang Liao heard that Lu Bu had not dared to act rashly after the defeat at Dasanguan.

this day. Just as Zhang Liao was looking at the book of soldiers in the tent quite leisurely, a soldier hurriedly walked into the tent and whispered a few words in Zhang Liao's ear. Then he took the initiative to go out of the camp. After he saw Gao Shun, he immediately said, "General Lu is okay, right?" ”

Gao Shun was quite surprised when he saw Zhang Liao's red face, but he didn't say much at this time, just said: "Thanks to Prime Minister Dong's blessing." Although General Lu was seriously injured, after these days of recuperation, his health was almost better. ”

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "That's good!" That's good! ”

After that, Zhang Liao invited Gao Shun into the account, and after the soldiers brought good tea, Zhang Liao said: "I don't know what happened to General Gao's sudden visit?" Could it be that General Lu has something important to tell Zhang? ”

Gao Shun glanced up at Zhang Liao, there seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still forced a smile and said: "The situation is very unfavorable to us now!" At present, we have completely changed from active to passive, and General Lu and his military advisers are worried that if we continue to be passive like this, I am afraid that sooner or later the whole army will be wiped out! ”

When Zhang Liao heard Gao Shun's words, he laughed and said, "How come! Although we have lost several battles, our main force is still there! In the previous battle of Dasanguan, I heard that Ma Bin was also seriously injured! As long as we and him consume it, he will definitely be overwhelmed! ”

Gao Shun shook his head and said: "It seems that General Zhang has not seen the current situation clearly, it is not that Gao is alarmist, and the morale of our army has fallen to the bottom!" The longer we drag, the worse it will be for us! ”

After Zhang Liao nodded slightly, Gao Shun continued: "General Zhang should know why General Lu has not taken the initiative to attack Dasanguan since the big battle more than ten days ago, in fact, it is to wait for the general to destroy the Pang De's army in one fell swoop!" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he felt that Gao Shun was completely here to ask the master for sin, and his face suddenly changed greatly. And Gao Shun saw this scene in his eyes, and he said: "General Lu knows that General Zhang has a way of using soldiers and has his own plans, but if we continue to confront Pang De like this, it will not be good for us!" ”

Zhang Liao said coldly: "Since Pang De took the initiative to retreat, Ma Teng has continuously sent him troops, and at present, the number of men and horses under his command has reached more than 30,000, and the soldiers under Zhang Mou have only 10,000. Zhang has already sent someone to tell General Lu and the military advisor that it is not easy for this man to stop him from moving further! Zhang didn't want to destroy the Pang De's army in one fell swoop, but he couldn't rush at this time, and Zhang was also waiting for the opportunity! ”

Gao Shun said: "General Lu and the military division don't understand General Zhang's current situation, but they are in a hurry!" So this time, Gao also brought 5,000 men to help General Zhang! ”

"Where's the centaurs?"

Seeing that Lu Bu and Jia Xu were dissatisfied with him, he was quite annoyed.

Gao Shun said: "Twenty miles here. ”

"Why don't you bring the two armies together?" Zhang Liao really couldn't understand it at this time. When reinforcements came and let him camp alone, could it be that Lu Bu and Jia Xu suspected that he had a disobedient heart and deliberately guarded against him?

Gao Shun saw that Zhang Liao's face was full of clouds, and hurriedly said: "This is the strategy of the military advisor. He didn't want to see us use troops in many places, so this time he asked Gao to come with a good plan, and strive to destroy the Pang De's army with General Zhang in one fell swoop! ”

"Fifteen thousand against thirty thousand?"

Zhang Liao really feels that this is a bit of a fool's dream, although he has never fought with Pang De, but the small battles are continuous, and he knows that Pang De still has some ability, and although Ma Chao and Ma Dai are still young, their ability to kill people on horses is definitely incomparable to ordinary generals!

What's even worse is that the supply of grain and grass for the army under Zhang Liao's command has been in trouble recently, and people have been sent to urge it several times, but the imperial court has been fighting for years and the harvest is not harvested every year, so the turnover of grain and grass is quite difficult. However, according to Zhang Liao's private understanding, the grain and grass of Lu Bu's army surrounded by Dasanguan were very sufficient. So since he learned about this matter, he was also quite dissatisfied in his heart. Lu Bu clearly put the siege of Dasanguan in the first place, but he wanted Zhang Liao to destroy Pang De as soon as possible, so that he could concentrate all his forces to deal with Ma Bin, but how could there be such a good thing in the world.

However, when Gao Shun said Jia Xu's "clever plan" like this, Zhang Liao had to act according to the plan, after all, Lu Bu and Jia Xu were already quite dissatisfied with him, if he didn't take the initiative to cooperate, I am afraid it would not be as simple as just letting Gao Shun "supervise" with words.

It is said that when Pang De knew that Ma Bin had arrived seventy or eighty miles south of Huining with 3,000 men and horses, he found Ma Chao and Ma Dai, and Ma Dai took the lead and said: "The famous Ma Taishou only brought 3,000 men and horses, which is too insincere!" General Pang, we still don't want to ally with him, without him, we can also destroy that Zhang Liao! ”

Pang De laughed and said: "The two armies jointly sent troops to attack Zhang Liao is the result of Hou Ye's careful consideration, after all, Ma Bin at this time is already the one who raised horses in Xiliang. Recently, when Hou Ye summed up why he was defeated by Guo Yan and Li Dao before, and even almost lost his life, he realized that in this troubled era, if you want to stand on your feet, you must have a strong ally, otherwise it will be difficult to gain a foothold! Although it is said that Hou Ye and Ma Bin had a deep hatred before, it is better to settle the grievance than to settle it, and now Mrs. and Miss are still in Hanzhong, so Hou Ye has so many because of the situation. ”

Ma Dai nodded as if he didn't understand, maybe it was because Ma Bin's betrayal of Ma Teng hit him too hard before, so so far, he has almost no good impression of Ma Bin.

And Ma Chao, who was standing aside and listening to the discussion between Pound and Ma Dai, seemed to be preoccupied. Seeing this, Pang De hurriedly said, "I don't know what the young general thinks about this matter?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Although I want to eat and skin Ma Bin alive, but since it is my father's intention, then everything will be done according to my father's will." ”

After hearing this, Pang De smiled and said, "Why don't you have Major General Lao to go to Ma Bin's camp?" ”

After Ma Chao heard this, he was directly speechless...... (To be continued...) )
