Speaking of which, Guan Yu and Fa Zheng are both wise men, and they quickly figured out the joints, but Wei Yan's mind didn't turn so fast for a while. It's just that I saw that even the second general didn't object, he just needed to obey the military order.

Without Guan Yu's support, it is obviously impossible for Dong Zhuo to capture Jincheng in a short period of time, which is destined to make a victory or defeat in the western battlefield in a short period of time.

Guan Yu obeyed Zhuge Liang's arrangement, not to mention Fa Zheng and Wei Yan and others, after reading the content on the silk cloth, they had already decided to stand still. It's just that Dong Zhuo didn't know about all this.

Dong Zhuo was very worried that Zhang Chao would do something to him, so he was as fast as he could deal with Ma Teng, and he didn't dare to delay.

In this way, early in the morning of the second day of the camp of the army, Dong Zhuo arranged for the vanguard general Duan Cheng to go to call for the competition, in order to encourage the soldiers for the army.

Duan Cheng also had this in mind, put on his armor in the morning, and took the initiative to call out.

In Jincheng, the 100,000 vanguard army sent by Ma Teng had already arrived, and the vanguard general Pang De saw that someone was actually calling for a battle, so he naturally rushed out without fear and fought with that Duan Cheng.

Pound's strength is extraordinary, and he will not have any fear of war in the face of Duan Chengzi, who has never heard of it.

It was not easy for Duan Cheng to get a chance, and he was trying to perform well, and he did his best in the face of Pang Dezi.

Both sides wanted to use force to intimidate each other, and this fight was done with all their might. But twenty rounds later, Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops.

Duan Cheng, who was enjoying the fight, heard the sound of the troops, and didn't dare to be careless, so he rushed back with a gun. When he came to Dong Zhuo, he said with a puzzled face: "Lord, I'm about to behead that Pound, why do you want to collect your troops?" ”

"Humph! Didn't you see that Guan Yu didn't show up today? They just don't want to do it, so let's wait and see. Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, his eyes turned to the direction where Wei Yan's army was, casting a trace of hatred.

Because he was on guard, Dong Zhuo had been paying attention to Liu Beijun's movements, and when he saw that Guan Yu hadn't even appeared in the morning, he was afraid that the other party would want to see his jokes, so when General Duan Cheng fought for twenty rounds, he withdrew his troops.

Wei Yan naturally saw Dong Zhuo's eyes, but he didn't care. Seeing that the other party withdrew first, he was not polite at the moment, and returned to the camp with his soldiers.

Pound under the golden city witnessed all this, some doubts flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to the city with a heavy face. As soon as he entered the city, he wrote a letter himself, making a report to Ma Teng about the situation here, and at the same time saying that the other party seemed to have some conspiracy, but he could not know about it.

After Ma Teng, who was in Guzang, received Pang De's letter, he was also confused, obviously he didn't think that Dong Zhuo would be at odds with Guan Yu as soon as he first fought. He was also wondering if the other party had some conspiracy?

The gloomy look on Ma Teng's face was seen by his nephew Ma Dai, who was originally a general with both civil and military skills. After stepping forward to ask what happened, he hesitated for a moment and then said: "King Xiliang, I think that no matter whether the other party has any conspiracy or not, it is not a wise man for us to deal with Liu and Dong Lianjun on our own now, just in case, should we ask for help from the general?" After all, if something happened to Xiliang, it wouldn't be what he wanted to see. ”

Ma Dai will say this, also because of long-term worries. No one dares to say who wins or loses in a war. Especially the current situation in Liangzhou, it can't afford to lose, if so, I'm afraid that Ma's will be finished.

For the sake of the long term and security, even if there are reinforcements, why not invite them? At least it can greatly reduce the losses of the Xiliang army.

To say that Ma Dai said this for the sake of safety, but he still underestimated Ma Teng in the end. Although the other party is menacing, as the king of Xiliang, he is not a person who is afraid of things. If you ask for foreign help for something, don't you have to be laughed at?

How can I say that Ma Teng is also the existence of a prince, just ask for foreign aid as soon as there is a war, and Ma Teng will not respond. I saw him shake his head and said: "Forget it, the situation is still unclear now, General Pang De also defended the land of Jincheng, and he didn't need help from others first." ”

Although it was said lightly, Ma Teng's refusal to send reinforcements was very clear. Seeing this, Ma Dai was not good at saying something, so he had to retreat as promised.

Ma Teng didn't want to find reinforcements, and the enemy in front of him needed him to deal with it himself.

And if Zhang Chao doesn't come, Zhuge Liang's deployment in the Chang'an area will not play a real role. And in the case of not being able to repel this powerful reinforcement, he naturally will not be reassured. In this way, the confrontation between the two armies was only half a month, and a new order was reissued to the hands of the former Fa Zheng, that is, no matter what, the Jincheng must be taken first, and the pressure on Zu Ma Teng must be given.

Zhuge Liang still underestimated Ma Teng's ambition, and originally thought that he and Dong Zhuo's army would force the other party to ask for help, but now it seems that this is not the case. That's it, just put enough pressure on the other party to see what you can hold onto.

Fa Zheng read the new military order sent by Zhuge Liang, and immediately reported to General Guan Yu.

When Guan Yu heard that he was finally going to capture Jincheng, he couldn't help but put his beard on his hands and said, "Okay, so it's going to be troublesome for Xiaozhi to plan." ”

"It should." Fa Zheng said very modestly.

The ability to correct the law is very strong, and it is also quite influential in Yizhou. It is difficult for an idle person to make him surrender like this, but Guan Yu is indeed not among them, he is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and he is the most relied on military minister, such a person is far from something he can afford to offend.

After having the orders of Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, Fa Zheng went to Dong Zhuo's army tent, that is, he was going to attack the city, so naturally it was impossible for him to use troops alone.

Dong Zhuo was depressed in the tent.

I thought that with Liu Bei's 300,000 army complementing each other, the army's attack on Xiliang should be overwhelming, invincible and unfavorable. But now half a month has passed, and this ally has not moved at all, what do they mean, do they really want to sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman?

Unable to figure out the movements of Guan Yu's side, Dong Zhuo naturally would not send troops casually, in the past few days, he has let the army retreat, and he has not even called the city.

Just when Dong Zhuo was still thinking about what Guan Yu's army meant, a personal soldier came to report outside the door, saying that Fazheng had arrived.

As soon as he heard that Fa Zheng was coming, Dong Zhuo was first startled, and then with a smile on his face, it seemed that not only was he anxious, but some people were anxious. That's fine, as long as the other party is in a hurry, he can go and negotiate some conditions with him. "Please." Dong Zhuo, who waved a gesture to his own soldiers, said with a smile.

After a while, Fa Zheng, dressed in a robe and dressed as a literati, entered Dong Zhuo's military tent.

"Haha, it's Mr. Xiaozhi here, please take a seat." As soon as Fa Zheng entered the big tent, Dong Zhuo laughed out loud, and people who didn't know thought they knew each other.

Regarding Dong Zhuo's politeness, Fa Zheng naturally smiled and said, "King Xie Yong gives the throne." So he found a chair and sat down.

It was this sentence of King Xie Yong's gift of the throne that made the smile on Dong Zhuo's face even stronger. Because this seems to prove that the other party recognizes his identity as the king of Yongzhou, how can it be disliked.

With the early death of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, all the princes established themselves as kings. It's just that in the final analysis, it's just self-reliance, not officially recognized, such an identity, it's okay to mention it in front of your own family, but if you want others to admit it, it's much more difficult.

But now, Fa Zheng called out this title, isn't it equivalent to saying that Liu Bei has recognized his identity as the king? If so, that's a good thing.

Dong Zhuo laughed happily, and Fa Zheng also had a smile on his face, such a title was naturally a way for him to do things with others. Knowing that Dong Zhuo wants face, then just give him face, anyway, his words do not represent the entire Liu Bei Group.

Because of this title, the relationship between the two seemed to be much more friendly in an instant, which would naturally play an excellent role in promoting the business that Fa Zheng was talking about next.

"King Yong, this time I am coming, I really have some things to explain to you." Fa Zheng said with a very modest look.

"Haha, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it bluntly." is still smiling, but Dong Zhuo himself has already guessed something, it seems that his troops are not moving, and the other party is also anxious. That's right, I knew what it was, why bother in the first place? I have long had such an understanding, and everyone worked together to attack the city, I am afraid that Jincheng would have been taken down a long time ago.

Fa Zheng didn't care whether Dong Zhuo was really smiling or fake, so he hugged his fists and said: "King Yong, my army didn't use force against Jincheng before, and there were really a lot of considerations, which was also the meaning of Zhuge Junshi, and some people he had to guard against." ”

As he spoke, Fa Zheng also pointed to the north intentionally.

Who this north represents, Dong Zhuo is naturally very clear. Immediately, his face became much more serious, after all, when it comes to business, it is still a military matter, so he can't keep laughing.

"Well, what Zhuge Junshi is worried about is exactly that. I have also been thinking about whether this Ma Teng will ask Zhang Chao for help, so I have also arranged 100,000 soldiers and horses in Xinfeng, just so that if something happens, it can be stopped. Dong Zhuo nodded heavily, obviously he had also considered this matter.

Dong Zhuo is also a person who has been a prince, and when he was brilliant at the beginning, even the abolition of the emperor was determined by him. If such a person has no brains at all, then others can't believe it.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo also had such worries, Fa Zheng deliberately looked at the other party with an admiring look, which also made the former very useful.
