Ma Chao summoned the three brothers Ma Dai and Liu Bei together to hold a pre-war meeting.

In front of them was a map of the city defense of Xining, which outlined the approximate deployment of Lu Bu's military strength.

"The target of our sneak attack this time is the Lu Bu camp outside Xining City, according to the detailed report, there are thousands of wolf horsemen and 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Lu Bu army in this camp, and the person guarding the camp is a man named Zhang Liao!"

"Lu Bu led 10,000 horses to garrison Xining City, so we must act quickly in this sneak attack, and we can't give Lu Bu a chance to react and support, and if we succeed in the blow, we will withdraw immediately!"

A strong self-confidence erupted in Ma Chao's body, and his eyes were like electricity, sweeping over the four people.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei heard Ma Chao talking to them in a commanding tone, and they were very unhappy in their hearts, but Liu Bei looked indifferent.

Zhang Fei wanted to open his mouth several times, but seeing that Liu Bei kept giving him a look, he had to give up.

Ma Dai is Ma Chao's most loyal supporter, hearing Ma Chao's words, he nodded in agreement, he pointed to the camp outside Xining City and said: "Lu Bu is not in the camp, this is a good opportunity for us!" This time I must teach Lu Bu a lesson! ”

Indeed, Lu Bu was stationed in Xining City, then Dian Wei must also be in Xining City, and the big camp outside the city was garrisoned by Zhang Liao.

For Ma Chao, without Lu Bu and Dian Wei, with him and his Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he will definitely be able to break through Zhang Liao's camp.

Liu Bei didn't speak until Ma Dai finished speaking: "Lu Bu is cunning and changeable, his large battalion defense must be impermeable, and it is very difficult for us to successfully launch a surprise attack!" ”

Ma Chao glanced at Liu Bei with disdain, and said, "How can Uncle Liu Huang grow up with other people's ambition to destroy his own prestige!" A mere Zhang Liao, I don't care about it yet. ”

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu nodded lightly, they were only afraid of Lu Bu and Dian Wei, if Lu Bu and Dian Wei were stationed in the camp, then this sneak attack would be to send them to death, but it was Zhang Liao who was guarding the camp, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Zhang Liao's current fame is not very big, no one knows Lu Dao at all, in history, Zhang Liao also followed Lu Bu to the Kanto, only to be famous as a famous general, and later surrendered to Cao Cao, before officially stepping into the ranks of famous generals.

Before that, Zhang Liao was not known at all, and he didn't care, and no one knew that Zhang Liao was actually a general.

This is mainly because Lu Bu's edge is too exposed, covering up Zhang Liao.

Liu Bei saw that Ma Chao was so confident, and he didn't say much, so he could only pray that this sneak attack would be smooth and that he would not cause any trouble.

Ma Chao was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's cowardice, and after glancing at Liu Bei coldly, he pointed to the map and said: "Lu Bu's army, except for Lu Bu and that Dian Wei, the rest of the people are all wine bags and rice bags, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

In this battle, we led five hundred iron cavalry, each of whom commanded a team, and entered the camp of Zhang Liao in five ways, because Xining City was very close to the camp, so God gave us not much time for a sneak attack.

Half an hour, we only fought for half an hour, and then immediately retreated, don't forget. ”

Liu Bei nodded, only killing for half an hour, for him, the risk was much smaller.

Ma Dai, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are naturally undoubted.

"Alright, let's rest for a day and leave early tomorrow morning." Ma Chao said.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hugged Ma Chao with a fist, then turned around and retreated, a long-distance attack was the most exhausting physical strength, and they had to nourish their spirits.

After Ma Dai waited for Liu Bei's three brothers to retreat, he looked at Ma Chao and said, "Cousin, in this battle, we still have to be careful!" ”

"I understand." Ma Chao nodded.

Ma Dai glanced at Ma Chao, and for some reason, he suddenly let out a light sigh, he knew that Ma Chao was arrogant and would not admit defeat easily.

In the past, when he was in Xiliang, he had always defeated others and never tasted defeat, but when he entered the customs and met Lu Bu and Dian Wei, Ma Chao was like meeting the nemesis of his life, and he was defeated again and again.

This kind of taste is certainly not pleasant for a proud person.

It's like a person standing at the pinnacle, and when he is scornful and contemptuous, he is suddenly kicked down.

Ma Chao suffered the loss of Lu Bu and Dian Wei, so he was naturally unwilling to admit defeat like this, he must take revenge and find back his pride and glory.

After Ma Dai retreated, two fierce rays of light suddenly burst out from Ma Chao's eyes, and his originally calm face became extremely hideous.

"Lu Bu! Dian Wei! I'm going to tear you apart! ”

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said.

······

······

Lu Bu didn't know about Ma Chao's upcoming sneak attack, if he knew about it, Lu Bu would definitely laugh.

Today's inside and outside Xining City, the defense is impermeable, and there are secret sentry scouts everywhere, and the battalion where Zhang Liao is stationed seems to be strictly guarded by an iron bucket.

Thirty miles outside the city were guarded with scouts and patrols.

Ma Chao is conceited, he can follow Lu Bu's example, and also make a big sneak attack, turning the Lu Bu army camp upside down and suppressing the morale of Lu Bu's army.

Ma Teng and Han Sui also failed to see the situation clearly and dissuaded Ma Chao from sneaking attack.

In addition to Zhang Liao's garrison, there were also generals Pang De and Hou Cheng in the camp outside the city.

Ma Han sent a large number of scouts to Lu Bu to reconnoiter and monitor, and similarly, Lu Bu also sent a large number of scouts to monitor Ma Han's movements.

But because Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others set off when the sky was slightly bright, Lu Bu's meticulous work was not discovered in time.

Han Sui said that the four-way army attacked Xining, because it was necessary to boost the morale of the army, and did not deliberately conceal it, so the day's work spread throughout the army.

When he heard the news, he was shocked, and immediately sneaked out of the camp, hurried back to Xining, and reported to Lu Bu.

So before Ma Chao's iron horse set off, Lu Bu's meticulous work had already taken precedence.

Xining Wenhou Mansion.

"Someone will reward him with 100 gold!"

Lu Bu listened to the words of the fine work, asked some details carefully, and after ordering someone to reward him, he let him retreat.

The four-way army attacked Xining! Han Sui's thoughts are really vicious!

Ma Han has an army of 150,000, and tribes such as Qiang Di also have 100,000 combat power, as for Su Heng, although he is a small character, he also has tens of thousands of horses under his hands.

Zhang Lu, who has been in Hanzhong for more than 20 years, is deeply rooted and has a strong strength, not to mention 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he has all the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, 200,000 horses are more than enough.

At this time, Hanzhong was relatively rich and had a large population under the governance of Zhang Lu, but later Cao Cao and Liu Bei came in successively.

It seriously undermined the stability of Hanzhong, and when Cao Cao was defeated, he took away the rich families and a large number of people in Hanzhong.

Even after the establishment of the Shu Kingdom, Hanzhong failed to recover its current situation, but became more and more barren because of repeated wars.

Han Sui said that the four-way army attacked Xining, and the other two, Lu Bu believed that it would come over, but this Zhang Lu, Lu Bu absolutely did not believe it.

There are many unenterprising princes in the history of the Three Kingdoms, such as Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Zhang Lu just wanted to stay in Hanzhong in peace and promote his Five Dou Mi Sect, and he didn't want to fight with others at all.

If there is one of the most dedicated missionaries in Chinese history, it is Zhang Lu.

Cao Cao invaded Hanzhong, beat Zhang Lu to the ground, he was defeated and fled, because the government was closed, the money and grain were saved, Cao Cao remembered that he still had some "conscience", so he let Zhang Lu go and allowed him to surrender.

After Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao, he had no enterprising spirit, and took some old subordinates to wander in the north, spreading propaganda about the Wudou Rice Sect everywhere, and became his sect leader with peace of mind until the end of his life.

When Lu Bu heard that he was going to join forces with Zhang Lu and attack Xining from the east, he immediately felt angry and funny.

Does Zhang Lu dare to call?

Lu Bu smiled disdainfully, not taking it to heart at all, but this Qiang and other tribes was a headache.

If you want to dominate Guanzhong and gain a firm foothold in this place, there are two issues that have to be considered.

One is the threat of Ma Han, which is nothing, people have now come to the door, and the battle that determines survival is just around the corner.

The second is a small number of tribes such as Qiangyi, who are active in Longyou, often invade the hinterland of Longxi and even Guanzhong, burning, killing and looting Han people and their property, which is a major trouble for the Han people.

But now that the Han family is weakened, there is no way to take them, that is, in the heyday, it is only on paper to completely eliminate them, after all, Qiang Di and other tribes can't beat you, he can run, run to a place you can't chase, recuperate for a while, and then kill back.

Therefore, historically, the Han people have always adopted a policy of gentleness against these ethnic minorities active on the border, and they will not go to war as a last resort.

In his previous life, Lu Bu had also seen some stories of the Three Kingdoms, and he knew that Ma Chao enjoyed a high status among ethnic minorities such as Qiang.

After Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao at Tongguan, he wanted to carry out a pursuit and completely eliminate Ma Chao, because he knew that Ma Chao had the influence to call on Qiang and other tribes, but at that time, someone suddenly rebelled in the rear, forcing Cao Cao to withdraw his troops.

"Send someone to ask for a military advisor!" Lu Bu thought hard for a while, and then ordered someone to invite Jia Xu.

He knew very little about this Qiang in his mind, only that when he was in chaos, there seemed to be such two ethnic minorities.

"Lord, Wen He is here, you are looking for me, is there something big happening?"

Jia Xu staggered in, his face flushed, and he smelled of wine.

"Wenhe, why are you drinking again, it's still broad daylight! This has to be seen by the soldiers, how much it affects morale! ”

Lu Bu's face was warm and angry, he was really defeated by these people now, one Dian Wei, one Jia Xu, and two big drunkards!

However, this Jia Xu is really a little inconsistent with history, and it is too far away!

The ancients loved wine and were crazy!

Jia Xu's drunken appearance can completely compete with that ghost Guo Jiayou.

"Alas, my lord, you don't know what to do! The evil guy said that he was lonely in the army alone, and he had to pull me to drink, and you also knew that he was a brother, so it was hard to refuse! Besides, my thighs are not as thick as his arms, so I can't beat him! ”

Jia Xu said helplessly, and as he spoke, he burped and almost smoked Lu Bu to death.

With a black line on his head, Lu Bu said: "Wenhe, we may be in a desperate situation, Ma Han will attack us from the north, and they will also repair the book for the Qiang and other tribes, so that they can raise troops to attack from the west."

Su Heng of Jiuquan led his troops to attack from the south, and even that Zhang Lu seemed to be going to attack us from the east! ”

When Jia Xu, who was full of drunkenness, heard this, he suddenly shook his spirit, swept away the drunkenness, and his eyes became solemn.
