After Ma Chao finished shouting to open the door, he heard the noise in Yangping Pass, thinking that he was opening the door with himself, but after waiting for a long time, no one showed his face to look at him from the gate, let alone open the door.

Ma Chao couldn't help but be furious and roared:

"Lao Tzu Xiliang Jinma Chao is back, come and open the door with me!"

The shouts shook the heavens and the earth, the mountains shook, the clouds in the sky stagnated and fluttered, and Han Sui, Ma Dai, Cheng Gongying and others, who were still asleep, were suddenly woken up.

The sergeant of Yangping Guan poked his head out, saw that it was Ma Chao, and hurriedly asked everyone to throw a basket tied by a rope. Ma Chao entered the basket indignantly, and by the way, the president of Lao Tzu's army welcomed me into the customs without opening the gate and put a basket to pull me up.

Ma Chao entered the pass, hunger and heavy sleepiness were used in his heart, and immediately entered the kitchen, stuffed a few pieces of meat, drank a bowl of wine, and fell asleep on the table.

When he woke up, it was already noon, and the hot and warm sun shone on him, and his whole body was lazy, and he felt like he was about to be melted by the sun. The soldiers were sitting on the ground eating and laughing, and when they saw Ma Chao awake, one of the soldiers said:

"General Ma, you woke up, General Han Sui told you to wake up and go to the central camp to discuss matters."

"Okay." Ma Chao replied in confusion, then got up and walked towards the central camp.

In the central camp, Cheng Gongying, Yan Cheng, Yin Yang Qiu and other small princes of Xiliang quarreled together, and they bargained with the vegetable market, Han Sui looked at them with a slight smile, and Ma Daitie blushed.

"Meng Qi, you're here." Han Sui sat on the main seat and shouted to Ma Chao who walked into the door, his voice was cordial, like a father greeting his son.

"Hmm." Ma Chao replied, "Huh? Then he saw Han Sui sitting on the main seat, and suddenly he didn't know where he should sit, he glanced at everyone, and then stared at the main seat where Han Sui was sitting.

"That's right, Meng Qi, our uncles see that you are too young and have no experience in leading a war. This time, you led an army of 50,000 to attack Hanzhong City, and lost Pang De, a tiger general, and more than 20,000 Xiliang cavalry. Han Sui said slowly.

"So what?" Ma Chao asked impatiently.

"So there's no place for you here!" Yang Qiu on the side replied casually and arrogantly. Among the people in Xiliang, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others have read books and entered the officialdom, and they are more educated, but more generals are reckless characters like Yang Qiu, who are straightforward and fast-hearted.

"You!" Ma Chao glared at Yang Qiu angrily, his eyes were split, and Yang Qiu was so frightened that the wine glass he was holding fell to the ground.

"So, Meng Qi, for the sake of your young age, all the uncles will hold you accountable for the crime of losing the army and losing the general, but in line with everyone's intentions, I will temporarily be the president of the three armies." Han Sui said.

After listening to this, Ma Chao already knew what Han Sui meant, hey, isn't it just to take away my military power, what a big deal, but if you don't discuss it with me, it's your fault.

Ma Chao stood in the camp, without saying a word, quietly and coldly looking at Han Sui, and a burst of coercion from a high-ranking half-breed instantly covered the entire camp; Han Sui felt that he was not facing a high-level sky and wind hybrid stallion Ma Chao, but a new generation of the king of the sea and water, but a vast ice field, the ice field appeared in Ma Chao's eyes, the bright glaciers, the craggy icebergs, the endless cold not only hit Han Sui, but also enveloped everyone in the house, the cold and silent cold wind blew everyone mercilessly, Yang Qiu felt that he was about to be frozen.

"Report!" An intelligence officer appeared at the door and shouted.

"Say." Ma Chao replied coldly.

"There is an enemy army in the north of Yangping Pass! There are tens of thousands! The intelligence soldier replied breathlessly.

"Take me to see it." After hearing this, Ma Chao turned around and walked towards the north of Yangping Pass, and the cold aura immediately dissipated, Han Sui and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and also walked towards the north of Yangping Pass with the intelligence soldiers.

In the north of Yangping Pass, it was the 20,000 troops led by Zhao Yunfa Zheng who crossed Qishan and arrived in the north of Yangping Pass.

"Hyozhi, what do you think we should do next? Is it a direct siege, or is it something else? Zhao Yun asked Fa Zheng.

"According to the young master's meaning, our troops are in the rear of Yangping Pass, mainly to disrupt Ma Chao's army and share the pressure on the young master's side. How to break the horse super army, the young master Shiyuan, they should have another plan. In my opinion, we might as well disperse our forces in the woods outside Yangping Pass. In this way, you can attract enemy firepower, and at the same time, you are not afraid of the enemy's cavalry charging out of the pass. Fa Zheng said.

"Okay." Zhao Yun said.

On the Yangping Pass, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers under the pass, the vastness, the dust was filled, and there were soldiers everywhere in the open space and in the bushes.

Ma Chao was full of fighting spirit and shouted:

"Boys, get on the horse, follow me out of the customs and kill it!"

As soon as the soldiers were about to move, the princes from all walks of life waved their hands to stop their men, and only three or four thousand of the remaining more than 30,000 Xiliang soldiers in Guanzhong got on their horses.

"Eh, why don't you move!" Ma Chao asked the immobile soldier.

Han Sui stepped forward and put his hand on Ma Chao's shoulder and said: "I heard Zhonghua say that the enemy army is closed in Hanzhong and cannot be defeated without a fight, so it is better for us to close Yangping Pass and see how they attack the city." ”

"Shut up, it's a coward's doing, my Ma Chao disdains it, generals, pack up your armor, and follow me out of the city to kill!" Ma Chao shouted to the generals.

Cheng Gongying, Yang Qiu, Liang Yu and others were embarrassed, didn't I say that I wouldn't mess with you, why do you still call me.

Han Sui said embarrassedly:

"This, Meng Qi, just leave the matter of commanding the whole army to the uncles. Just concentrate on the charge! ”

Ma Chao didn't understand what Han Sui meant, Ma Dai stepped forward and whispered a few words, Ma Chao's face turned pale, threw the spear on the ground, and left with a "hum".

Everyone was silent for a while, and Han Sui spoke:

"Then thanks to your care, in the next few days, I Han Sui will serve as the president of the three armed forces."

"Okay." There was a chorus of echoes.

On that day, Zhao Yunfa was not attacking the city, Han Sui did not go out of the city, there was no war, Zhao Yunfa was concentrating on building an earthen city, and gradually stood outside Yangping Pass.

On the second day, there was no war, and Zhao Yun Fazheng's Tucheng was almost repaired.

On the third day, Han Sui and everyone saw that Zhao Yunjun outside the pass was not attacking the city, nor was he in a hurry, anyway, there was plenty of grain and grass in Yangping Pass, and there was a water source on the mountain, so he was not in a hurry, Han Sui and everyone drank in the house, Han Sui took a big sip and admonished:

"Although the war is not in a hurry now, after all, you are out on the expedition, so it is better for you to drink less."

"yes, yes." Just as everyone was responding, suddenly an intelligence soldier appeared at the door and shouted:

"Report!"

"Say." Han Sui was shocked, came to his senses, and replied.

"There's an army coming from the south!"

"South," Han Sui muttered, and said to the generals, "pack up your armor and follow me to the south of the pass to meet the enemy!" ”
