At the celebration banquet, Zhang Fei and Chen Dadu drank very happily. Kou Feng also drank some drinks with him. But I was able to control the amount of alcohol. In the end, it was only slightly drunk.

Which county is too guarded in the house, in the study.

Kou Feng and the general of the Left Army Division, Pang Tong, Zhang Song, Lu Su, and Deng Ai, the general of Hengye, were seated.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the study room was completely different from the banquet in the hall just now. Not only is it not happy, but it is quite dull.

"Now, our army from the valley has met expectations, pulling out which county and defeating a group of cavalry from the north. The next step is the upper valley. ”

After Xu, Kou Feng smiled and said.

"At this moment, I'm afraid that Han Sui has already waved his army to save Jincheng. When the time comes, the two generals Zheng and Zhao Yun will be able to break Han Sui like Zhang Fei and Chen Da. In this way, it is equivalent to cutting off most of the cavalry in the north. Pang Tong smiled and said:

At the beginning, Kou Feng's troops were divided into two routes, in addition to the need to divide troops because Cao Hong participated in the war too early, there was another point, that is, he wanted to use the crossbow and the crossbow bed to carry out a second attack on the northern cavalry.

10,000 crossbowmen and 3,000 crossbow beds stacked together, you can only hit the cavalry once. When the second time, the cavalry knew that the Chu army had this and the magic weapon, and they would be cautious when they went.

The infantry of the Chu army, who did not dare to attack the formation anymore. In this way, the crossbows and crossbow beds of the Chu army can only achieve greater results in one battle.

That's a big loss.

Therefore, on the one hand, Kou Feng personally went out to the battlefield in which county to block the cavalry in the north. On the other hand, Kou Feng sent Zheng and Zhao Yun to attack Jincheng. Trick the other cavalry stationed in Xiangyang to come to the aid of the teaching, so that they can set up a position and attack the cavalry who rescue. This is Kou Feng's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

However, this requires close cooperation. For example, in which county did Kou Feng fight with horses. At this time, the news of Zhao Yun's attack on Jincheng must be known to Han Sui.

Han Sui hurriedly led his troops back to help without receiving the defeat of the horse and not knowing how the horse was defeated.

In this way, the whole plan can be carried out as usual, otherwise, it will not work.

It's a lot of thinking, but it's very difficult.

"Quan Xiao straightened up." Kou Fengdao, but he pinned all his hopes on Zheng.

In the north, in the city of Xianyang.

Since the expedition of horses, the whole city has been slightly loosened. Before the Chu army appeared, they were all nervous. After that, he sent 100,000 troops over, even if he couldn't defeat it, he could stop the Chu army.

This is what the upper echelons of Xianyang City are thinking.

Even Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Que and others are no exception. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. At this moment, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Zhen, Yan Xing and others were sitting in the hall of Qinhou Mansion, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

"If the journey goes smoothly, at this time, General Ma and General Cao may have already broken the vanguard of the Chu army." Yan Xing said with a smile.

"If it goes well." Ma Teng nodded and smiled when he heard this.

The courage of his son Ma is brave and good at fighting, and Ma Teng is certainly clear about Lao Tzu. And Cao Hong is also a brave and warlike lord who has been in Chengguan for many years, and Ma Teng has fought with him countless times, and he knows it.

The vanguard of the two fierce generals and 100,000 cavalry was not captured? Even if he encounters the army of the Chu State, he will be able to retreat with his whole body.

It's enviable: When Ma Teng and Yan Xing were talking, Han Sui's heart couldn't help but rise a little envy, although he had Yan Xing, a delicate person who could compete with Ma.

But after all, it's only half a son, unlike Ma who is Ma Teng's parent.

"Now is not the time to talk about it, after all, the news has not yet come. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it may not be without changes. Immediately, Ma Teng said again.

Although Ma Teng is like this, everyone comes out, and Ma Teng wants to cover it.

"That's right. Now the Qin State and the Liang State have been at war with the Chu army. I wonder if Duke Wei is interested in sending 100,000 troops to completely eat this Chu army? ”

Ma Teng turned his head to Zhong Harrier again.

"It's really an appetite to eat all of the Northern Expedition Da Bi Shoucheng." Han Sui exclaimed when he heard this, but it was undeniable that his heart moved.

There is a saying that there are only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent a thief. Now the Qin State and the Liang State are in the position of preventing thieves, and the Chu State is a thief. They did everything possible to establish a defense system to prevent a sudden attack by the Chu army.

However, the Chu army is a mountain, "it is dangerous to wait for work, and when you want to come out, you can come out when you want: if you don't hurt the Chu army, it is really difficult to feel at ease."

If you can continue to unite with Cao Cao to mobilize the army, you don't need to have an extra 50,000 tigers and leopards to ride. It is enough to wipe out all the Chu army.

"It's not good to deal with Kou Feng and people with great ambitions, if you don't have a big appetite." Ma Teng said as a matter of course when he heard this, and then turned his head and asked Zhong Zhen, "First." I don't know how Wei Gong is doing? Zhong Yi was also a little moved, but in the end he shook his head and said, "It's already the limit to let General Cao Hong go out." After all, Chu still has Huang Zhong in Yangzhou, and Xu Shu in Wancheng, both of which are not characters to provoke. If there is no cavalry help, Xu Shu will definitely send troops to attack Xu Du, if so, it will be difficult to do.

This is the helplessness of the Wei State at present, and the initiative is in the hands of Kou Feng. There is no internal pressure, strife, strong military power, and even stronger economic power.

It's too easy to send troops.

Teng, Han Sui's heart was hot, and when he heard this, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and any fire was extinguished, and he sighed.

"Report, Jincheng urgent."

At that moment, the guard outside the door shouted.

"Golden City?"

Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Zhong waited for the faces of the three of them to change together, and Han Sui was the most difficult.

Could it be that there was something wrong with Jincheng: Han Sui's heart was shocked and panicked.

Jincheng is his old nest.

"Come in:" Han Sui Yiwei didn't want to delay, and said loudly.

The outer guard said yes, and immediately walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Han Sui got up and walked over, took the ride from the guard's hand, and after opening it, his expression changed wildly. "What's wrong?" Zhong Zhi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked:

"There is a large army in Jincheng:" Han Sui's face is pale.

"What?"

Zhong Que and Ma Tengqi lost their voices.

Obviously, the news is that Kou Feng personally led the army to Hanzhong, how could there be an army attacking Jincheng?

"Division?" Zhong Zhong hesitated, this is a bit unlikely. Because in the case that the cavalry has no advantage, the division of the Chu army is very disadvantaged.

Jiyi was broken by each one: but from the current Jincheng's urgent report, it is extremely likely that the division of troops will be carried out.

"How many are there?" Zhong La then asked.

"No less than 100,000." Could it be that Han Sui only has more than 10,000 defenders in Jincheng, and none of them are elite. Facing an army of 100,000. It's trembling to think about.

"The general will come back at once." Zhong finally said decisively. This time, Ma Teng didn't have an opinion, nodded and said, "Come back and keep in touch." ”

"Take care." The nest was breached, and there was nothing: At this time, Han Sui was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, without any hypocrisy, nodded, and immediately said goodbye and left.

After that, Han Sui left Yan Xing to command 30,000 foot soldiers, and he himself ordered 70,000 cavalry. I went back to Jincheng to help. At the same time, the area of the Yellow River in the south of Xianyang. Ma, Cao Hong rests here. Their spies covered a radius of about fifty miles.

It was quite safe, so the horse was ordered to rest.

It's not okay to not rest, after a stagnant battle, the morale of the army is extremely low, and the physical strength is almost exhausted. Anyway, they had to wait for the ferry, so the state sat down to eat dry food, drink some water, and let the soldiers recover a little strength.

Ma and Cao Hong sat next to each other, under a big tree.

The horse's armor, which had been slashed twice, was unwounded, and the wound was bandaged. The face is a little pale. Cao Hong's armor didn't follow, but his thigh was also bandaged.

Because there is no armor to protect it, the wound on the thigh is still relatively deep. Where the bandage was bandaged, some blood was still oozing. When I walked, I had to limp.

Two high-spirited generals, one wounded and the other lame. Of the 100,000 troops, only 50,000 or 60,000 remained, and most of them were terrified.

If it's really as miserable as it is, it's as miserable as it gets. In the heart of a horse, it's not a taste.

He leaned against the big tree and said to Cao Hong: "I was able to reluctantly retreat this time, thanks to the general." The horse raised his fist in respect.

It's completely out of the heart. The action of Cao Hong, a state talent, to come forward made him believe in Wei even more, and also made Qin and Wei more trusting.

This war, they lost. This is the only gain, Ma believes that as long as the two countries can cooperate more closely, it will not be difficult to make a comeback and defeat the Chu State.

"The three families are in an alliance and are brothers to each other, this is how it should be" Cao Hong shook his head when he heard this, and then, Cao Hong didn't want to worry more about this catty, the topic, and it didn't look like he had saved his horse's life.

That would damage the relationship between the two parties.

Cao Hong smiled bitterly and said, "We failed this time, and I don't know how to explain to the two marquis lords and Zhong Xian." ”

"Alas, the cavalry, which is three or four times the size of the foot soldiers, was defeated by the foot soldiers, and it is a shame." Ma Wenyan also sighed, his face was hot.

"However, it is not without a little gain. , , immediately, the horse said.

"Oh?" Cao Hong was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"The Chu army has such a divine weapon, we don't know. But now that he knows, he will definitely not give Chu Jun such a chance next time. This is also a and harvest, although the price paid is a little bigger. Ma said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, that's the reward." Cao Hong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement.

In fact, it's not that Seon lost his horse and didn't know whether he was blessed or not: but the real loss was great, but he gained a little information, and it was also a psychological comfort.

The two disabled generals can only have fun in their misery.
