Since he destroyed Han Sui and monopolized Liangzhou, many people have come to join him. With these confidences, he has the ability to compete with the enemy.

After Ma Teng's gaze looked from top to bottom, the first person on the left, dressed in silver-white armor, with extraordinary momentum, and the handsome and handsome Ma Chao stood up in one step, "Father, please give an order, I want to see what this Dong thief and Liu Bei have to do, and dare to fight our Liangzhou idea." ”

"My lord, please give the order." The other generals also said in unison.

Looking at these many generals, none of them were afraid of war, but they were all excited, Ma Teng felt relieved. To be a general is to have such a momentum that is not afraid of everything.

"Okay." Ma Teng also knew that now that the enemy had been killed at the doorstep, he was afraid that there was no room for him to retreat, so he said in a loud voice: "Order, Pang De is the vanguard general, lead 100,000 troops to Jincheng, and order Ma Chao to be the general of the Chinese army, and lead 100,000 troops to follow." The others followed me as the rear army, leading 200,000 troops to fight the incoming enemy. ”

Obviously, in the face of the Liu Dong coalition army coming from the army, Ma Teng was determined to see the victory in a battle.

Jincheng, the gateway from Yongzhou to Liangzhou, is only a county with a population of about 50,000, but because of its important geographical location, the city wall has always been reinforced, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Placing the army here is enough to show that Ma Teng still has a certain strategic vision.

Jincheng was valued by Ma Teng, and it was also concerned by Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei's army, and they seemed to know that the war would start here, so Liu Dong's allied army of 700,000 horses set up camp twenty miles in front of Zhiyang City.

There are 700,000 people and horses, and from a distance, the tents are next to each other, which is quite imposing.

Among the military tents, there is one that is very conspicuous even if it is in it, the tent looks several times larger than the other tents, like a small palace, and there are heavy guards nearby, and this is where Dong Zhuo lives.

After Yuan Shao was killed by Zhang Chao, Dong Zhuo had a feeling that it was likely that the next time Zhang Chao was doing it, the target would be himself.

I don't think he will be the enemy of this person again, but he has not taken advantage of himself. And now, among the princes of several parties, his strength is not the strongest, so it is inevitable that he will have such thoughts.

Taking precautions is not only for some wise literati, but also for Dong Zhuo, who has been a master, knows the truth very well. So, there is the fact that he made a move to Liangzhou.

In this battle, from the bottom of my heart, Dong Zhuo did not fight each other. It's just for the sake of his own safety, he really had to do it, and even he turned out all the old bottoms and took out all the money, which made up an army of 500,000, of which except for leaving 100,000 behind him to prevent Zhang Chao from making any moves, the remaining 400,000 people were all brought over.

What Dong Zhuo didn't expect was that this time Liu Bei also invested a certain amount of money, and even sent 300,000 troops, so he felt more confident, and he was also confident that with these strengths, Ma Tengdang was not an opponent.

Originally, he didn't have any confidence, but since he saw the 300,000 troops sent by Liu Bei, he was overjoyed, and in the palace-like tent, he even sang a little song happily to entertain himself.

The vanguard general Duan Cheng noticed that Dong Zhuo was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Taishi, you can rest assured, tomorrow I will lead my troops to capture Zhiyang City, and then the army will go straight into Liangzhou." ”

Duan Ben does have some skills, but he is too proud. It's just that Dong Zhuo, who has no generals available now, really doesn't care about this, seeing that the vanguard general has such confidence, he nodded again and again. "There is General Duan out of the horse, I am naturally relieved, once Liangzhou is captured, it will be indispensable for your benefits. It's just that tomorrow will attack, and we need to be cautious, and there are some people we have to guard against. ”

When he said this, Dong Zhuo's face obviously had a trace of sadness.

This is also a matter of course, what Dong Zhuo needs to guard against is the 300,000 Liu Bei reinforcements on the side.

If Liu Bei sent fewer troops, he would be unhappy and think that the other party was perfunctory. But people sent more troops, he was also very worried, afraid that these people just wanted to pick up cheap, in order to wait for themselves to capture Liangzhou, they would do it to themselves behind their backs, if so, I am afraid that this time Liu Bei wants to get not the three counties of Jingzhao, but the entire Yongzhou and Liangzhou, if so, it will suddenly occupy the land of the four states, and its strength can be compared with Zhang Chao and Cao Cao.

Dong Zhuo has a short temper, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have scheming, at least he still has the heart to guard against others.

At the same time, in another barracks, a magnificent man wearing a python moon green robe and a long beard also occupied the first seat in the tent, and there were two people on his left and right, and two young men stood behind him.

The person in the first place, with a rebellious face, a pair of single eyes, is always used to squinting at people, but that is a gap, it is indeed full of murderous aura.

This person is Guan Yu, the second master of Guan who has the respect of martial saints in later generations.

Guan Yu, the word cloud chief, is the second brother of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, and he is also the general who united Dong Zhuo to conquer Ma Teng's 300,000 troops.

The person under Guan Yu's left seat has a confident expression on his face, and his expression is unremarkable, but the first feeling is indeed exuding infinite charm, as if this person is omnipotent. And this person is Mr. Fazheng, the military advisor of the army this time.

On the opposite side of Fa Zheng, that is, on Guan Yu's right hand, there was a general with thick eyebrows, wearing a suitable armor on his body, which made his body exude a kind of evil aura. This person is Wei Yan, who is written in the history books as a person with a backbone. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is true that the personal strength is indeed very strong, if it is just a heads-up, I am afraid that the number of people who can beat him will not exceed twenty at that time.

Compared to the heavy evil aura on Wei Yan's body, the two generals standing behind Guan Yu were much kinder.

Of course, this kindness is only on the surface, in fact, they also have some abilities, which can be seen from their names, one is called Guan Ping, and the other is called Guan Xing.

Both of them are Guan Yu's sons, and the three of them appeared together, which is in response to the old saying, the tiger father has no dog.

"Mr. Xiaozhi, I don't know what plan to break the enemy in the face of Jincheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack?" Guan Yu's eyes narrowed at Fa Zheng, if he just looked at it, I am afraid that no one would know what he was thinking.

"Huh." Hearing Guan Yu's question, Fa Zheng smiled, so he took out a white bag from his body, and then opened it in front of everyone, and took out a piece of silk cloth that had been written a long time ago.

There was not much handwriting on the silk cloth, Fa Zheng quickly browsed it, and then the corners of his mouth raised a slight arc, which sent it to Guan Yu and said: "Second General, this is the plan written by Zhuge Military Division when he came, and he asked us to act accordingly." ”

Hearing what Zhuge Liang meant, Guan Yu, who originally had a proud face, reached out to take it, and the expression on his face became much more solemn. Obviously, he still has a lot of respect for Zhuge Liang.

There was not much handwriting on the silk cloth, and Guan Yu quickly read it, and then quietly handed it to General Wei Yan on the side, and at the same time said: "Even if this is the intention of the military division, then I won't show up tomorrow, and I will trouble Xiaozhi and General Wei to go to suppress the formation." ”

Wei Yan also stretched out his hand to take the silk cloth and read it carefully, and then said with some incomprehension, "The military advisor actually asked us to stand still?" ”

"Not bad." Fa Zheng on the other side nodded slightly.

For Zhuge Liang's meaning, others may not be able to fully understand, but as a wise man, the law is correct very clearly, this is not to watch Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng consume each other, but really because the military advisor is worried that Zhang Chao behind him will interfere. If the reinforcements sent by the general cannot be repulsed, then even if Ma Teng is defeated, he may not be able to grab the fruits of victory. Even if that's the case, it's better not to do it.

Zhuge Liang has never underestimated Zhang Chao.

This time, he immediately agreed that Dong Zhuo would jointly send troops to deal with Ma Teng, so he had to think clearly about all possible problems. Naturally, there was only one thing he was worried about, that is, whether Zhang Chao would send reinforcements to support Ma Teng.

From the perspective of the overall situation, Zhang Chao and Ma Teng do not have a too close relationship, and of course they have never had a bad relationship, it seems that all this does not explain anything. But Zhuge Liang knew very well in his heart that Zhang Chao was like a wise man in his hands, and this time the Liu and Dong families joined forces to deal with Ma Teng, which was clearly to prepare for Zhang Chao in the future, even so, how could he sit back and wait for him to do it himself?

According to Zhuge Liang's opinion, it was only a matter of time before Zhang Chao sent reinforcements. Whether these reinforcements can be repelled is the most critical point of whether or not Ma Teng can be defeated.

Only by defeating Zhang Chao can we defeat Ma Teng and have the right to share the fruits of that victory. On the contrary, if they didn't block the reinforcements sent by Zhang Chao, then even if they defeated Ma Teng, they were afraid that Liangzhou would be so big, and they would not be able to eat it in a short time, which might be cheaper for others.

Zhuge Liang, who saw this result, asked Guan Yu that they could only watch from the sidelines first, and everything was up to him to make a decision after he could stop the army sent by Zhang Chao. At the same time, not revealing all their strength is also to show Ma Teng and make them feel light on the enemy, so that even if Zhang Chao does not send troops to come, they can better capture Jincheng.

And guarding against Zhang Chao is the main reason, for example, Zhuge Liang did not appear in Liangzhou this time, precisely because he took General Zhang San and others to guard in Yongzhou, guarding the only way for Zhang Chao to send reinforcements, obviously he was going to fight Zhang Jun in a real way.
