As a local from Liangzhou, how could Jiang Wei, Ma Chao's prestige, not have heard of it?

When Ma Chao led the warlords of Xiliang to walk in Guanxi, it was the stage when Jiang Wei's mind gradually matured.

In Jiang Wei's impression, during that time, all parts of Liangzhou were abusing Ma Chao.

Of course, they are all people who are afraid of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao's prestige in Liangzhou is difficult to describe in words, so when you hear his name, it will make people change color and be afraid in your heart.

Even if Jiang Wei was as bold as a fighter, after hearing Ma Chao's arrival, his face also showed a solemn look.

Jiang Wei had been speculating before about what kind of tricks Mi Yang would come up with to deal with the Wei army's three-way combined attack strategy.

Now when he knew that Ma Chao appeared in Wudu County, he understood Mi Yang's intentions.

If the Wei army wants to attack Yinping smoothly, it is bound to take Wudu County.

And Wudu County is also a place where Qiang and Di live together, and the reason why Cao Zhen appointed Guo Huai as the chief general of the Western Route Army is not Guo Huai's prestige among the Qiang and Di aliens?

But when it comes to prestige in the Qiang, who in the world can compare to Jinma Chao?

As long as the news of Ma Chao's entry into Wudu County spreads, Guo Huai's prestige advantage in Wudu County will be wiped out, but it will definitely be greatly weakened.

Without the assistance of strong prestige, even if Guo Huai has tens of thousands of troops, how can he pacify Wudu County in a short period of time?

Although Mi Yang did not have the same military strength as the Wei army in his hands, it did not mean that he could not use other methods to make the Wei army and the Han army at the same level to some extent.

After thinking about all Mi Yang's intentions, Jiang Wei laughed.

It's him.

Jiang Wei praised not only Mi Yang's resourcefulness, but also Mi Yang's courage.

Mi Yang actually had the courage to grant Ma Chao the right to soldier.

A notorious person who brutalized his relatives and relatives, didn't Mi Yang worry that he would have any intention of disobeying after he got the military power?

Jiang Wei didn't know what Mi Yang thought, and he didn't know if Mi Yang had the means to restrain Ma Chao, but in any case, Mi Yang's courage in appointing Ma Chao as a general was enough to make Jiang Wei feel admired.

As the saying goes, heroes cherish heroes, although Jiang Wei thinks very highly of himself, he is not stingy with his appreciation of Mi Yang.

Qiang Duan saw that Jiang Wei could still laugh after learning about Ma Chao's arrival, and thought that he didn't know Ma Chao's prestige, so he thought about telling Jiang Wei a few words about Ma Chao's past.

It's just that before Qiang Duan could speak, Jiang Wei asked a key question:

"How many soldiers did Ma Chao bring into the military capital?"

After hearing Jiang Wei's inquiry, Qiang Duan was stunned.

After hearing the news of Ma Chao's entry into the martial capital just now, his first reaction was fear, and he didn't expect such a crucial thing.

After coming to his senses, Qiang Duan immediately looked at the cronie who came to report the news, and asked Jiang Wei's question in Di.

After hearing Qiangduan's inquiry, the Di man quickly answered Qiangduan in Di.

The man took a long time to answer, as he had told the strong end all the information he had discovered.

After getting the answer from the people, Qiangduan's face improved a lot.

He then informed Jiang Wei in Chinese of the information he had obtained: "According to the investigation of this king's son, Ma Chao led about 3,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them were infantry. ”

After saying that Ma Chao's soldiers were all infantry, Qiang Duan emphasized the tone of this sentence.

Ma Chao is difficult to deal with, and Ma Chao, who has cavalry, is not something that ordinary people can resist.

After learning that Ma Chao only led three thousand Liangzhou troops into the Wudu, Jiang Wei nodded thoughtfully.

This did not come as a surprise to him.

It is true that Mi Yang can come up with a clever trick, but it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The lack of military strength in his hands will always be the Achilles' heel of him, and even the entire rebel Han.

In the case of insufficient military strength in Hanzhong, it is not easy for Mi Yang to give Ma Chao 3,000 mobile troops.

Now that he knew the basic information of Ma Chao's army, Jiang Wei immediately began to think about a strategy to deal with Ma Chao.

Ma Chao is famous for his bravery, but his bravery does not mean that he is invincible, otherwise Ma Chao would not have been defeated by Emperor Wu back then.

And Emperor Wu defeated Ma Chao because of his resourcefulness.

When Jiang Wei was thinking about countermeasures, Qiang Duan saw that Jiang Wei was silent, and he was a little anxious.

Although Jiang Wei brought not many soldiers and horses, Jiang Wei stood behind Guo Huai's tens of thousands of troops, on the other hand, the strong end was not Jiang Wei's reinforcements, Jiang Wei was.

Of course, Qiangduan knew how much Ma Chao hated him, and under the fear of Ma Chao in his heart, Qiangduan was now only worried that Jiang Wei would abandon him.

After all, no one in the Wei army had expected that Mi Yang would suddenly use Ma Chao to lead the army into Wudu County, and with Ma Chao's prestige in the world, Jiang Wei would not be punished in the face of his temporary retreat.

Uneasy in his heart, Qiang Duan took the initiative to find a topic to ask the silent Jiang Weidao: "Where does the general think Ma Chao will lead the army after entering the Wudu?" ”

Qiangduan detected that Ma Chao had entered Wudu County a few days ago.

The current strong end really doesn't know where Ma Chao's army is.

The strong end of the inquiry pulled Jiang Wei out of his thoughts.

"It must be an argument."

Jiang Wei's answer was affirmative.

Seeing Jiang Wei so sure, Qiang Duan couldn't help but be a little surprised, Wudu County said that it was not big, and it was not small, how could Jiang Wei be sure that Ma Chao would definitely go down to argue?

You must know that Xiabi City, as the seat of Wudu County, is the strongest city in Wudu County, and it is impossible for Ma Chao to think of using 3,000 infantry troops without siege equipment to go and take down Xiabian.

Sensing the puzzled look on Qiang Duan's face, Jiang Wei saw that he still had a place to use him next, so he explained his assertion.

"Xiabi is located in the center of Wudu County, and it is the hub of all the main roads in Wudu County, and if you want to control Wudu County, you must control Xiabian.

Since our army can find out the intelligence of the thief army, Ma Chao must also know that I have led the army into Wudu County at this time.

Ma Chao is a veteran general, and of course he can guess what the purpose of my army into Wudu County is.

Since he has anticipated the enemy's first opportunity, how can Ma Chao not strike first?

Although it is not easy for the 3,000 infantry army to attack the city, if Ma Chao occupies the main road to garrison, our army will not be able to defeat the enemy army at all with the same strength.

Ma Chao knew that General Zheng Shu would lead a large army into Wudu County in a few days, no matter how good Ma Chao was, it would be difficult for him to use 3,000 infantry troops to defeat my tens of thousands of troops head-on.

So his target must be me.

If my prediction is correct, Ma Chao will lead his men to march to the outside of Xiabi City, looking for a key way to stop our army. ”

Under Jiang Wei's explanation, Qiangduan couldn't help but be convinced of Jiang Wei's judgment.

But after knowing Ma Chao's purpose, new worries appeared in Qiang Duan's heart, and he tried to persuade Jiang Wei:

"Now that we know the purpose of the enemy's army, it is better for the general to lead the army and garrison outside Hechi County, wait for the arrival of General Zhengshu's army, and then plot the next step."

Qiangduan has this suggestion, not only for Jiang Wei, but also for his own consideration.

However, after listening to Qiang Duan's suggestion, Jiang Wei laughed disdainfully:

"He has three thousand soldiers, and I don't have one?

Besides, now that I have 5,000 of your men joining me, our army is far superior to him in terms of strength.

Is there a reason in the world that there are many soldiers who are afraid of those who have few soldiers and dare not advance?

If General Zhengshu learns that you and I are acting like this, I am afraid that on the day when his army arrives, he will behead you and me to sacrifice the flag to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Ordinary people are afraid of Ma Chao, but judging from Jiang Wei's various actions in history, he is really not afraid of Ma Chao.

Ma Chao has not been defeated.

Jiang Wei's words made Qiang Duan even more scared.

He was afraid of Ma Chao's prestige, but he was even more afraid of Guo Huai's punishment in the future.

Seeing that Qiangduan was already scared because of his words, Jiang Wei continued:

"You don't have to worry too much, Hanzhong is far away from Wudu, no matter how quickly Ma Chao marches, it will be difficult for him to stop our army from the next defense before our army arrives.

As long as Ma Chao does not occupy the geographical advantage, what are you and I afraid of joining forces?

Now we need to fight fast and compete with the enemy for the first opportunity! ”

Under Jiang Wei's analysis, the strong end, who had lost his assertiveness, couldn't help but nodded.

Seeing that Qiangduan had already been moved by his own words, Jiang Wei continued to persuade: "Since there is still something to be done in the attack of the combined army, and if you sit and wait for reinforcements, you will die, so why do you hesitate?" ”

I have to say that Jiang Wei does have a set of agitators, no wonder the bell in history will be deceived by him.

Under the encouragement of Jiang Wei's words, Qiang Duan seemed to feel that he had no way out.

Although he could lead the army to make a detour to Yinping, if he lost the support from Cao Wei, how could he resist the Han army in the future?

Since there is no way out, you can only do what Jiang Wei said.

Qiang Duan bowed to Jiang Wei and said, "Everything is based on the general's orders." ”

Another reason why the strong end chose to listen to Jiang Wei's words is that this is the Three Kingdoms period, the Three Kingdoms inherited the afterglow of the Han Dynasty, and the strength of the force is unusual and alien can resist.

Don't look at Qiang Duan's self-proclaimed king, he also knows that the self-proclaimed king is nothing in the eyes of ordinary Han lieutenants.

After successfully saying that the strong end was moved, Jiang Wei immediately ordered the whole army to pull out the camp.

And when Jiang Wei's order spread throughout the army, the 3,000 Wei army, who did not know the inside story, could only act honestly according to Jiang Wei's order.

Jiang Wei was right, after Ma Chao entered Wudu County, he led three thousand Liangzhou troops to rush towards Xiabiancheng.

He had to get ahead of the Wei army and set up a camp on the main road of Xiabi City to stop the Wei army.

After several days of continuous high-intensity marching, Ma Chao, who was sitting on his horse, could already see the head of the city.

When he saw the head of the city, Ma Chao's face showed joy, and he urged the soldiers behind him to move faster.

It seems that Jiang Wei is also incompetent, if Guo Huai is here, he will definitely guess his intentions and quickly move towards Xia Wei City.

With the military strength of the two armies equal, the side that occupies the geographical advantage in advance is almost invincible.

This is the essence of the speed of soldiers.

It's just that what Ma Chao didn't know was that when he was leading the army towards Xiabiancheng, there was also a large army in the north of Xiabiancheng that was rapidly advancing towards Xiabiancheng.

This army is the 8,000 soldiers led by Jiang Wei and Qiangduan.

If you look down from the perspective of the sky, you will find that at this moment, on the north and south sides of the city, there is a large army advancing rapidly towards the other party.

They are for tat enemies.

However, due to the obstruction of Xia Wei City, Ma Chao and Jiang Wei did not know at this moment that they were about to meet.

However, as the two armies continued to approach the city, the sentinels sent by the two armies soon discovered each other's presence.

So almost at the same time, the two sentinels each turned back to the headquarters army at the fastest speed, and reported the news to their respective commanders.

When Ma Chao heard the news, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

According to the report of the sentinels, the number of enemy troops who suddenly appeared was nearly 10,000, far above their own.

However, a large part of the nearly 10,000 enemy troops were aliens.

After learning this, Ma Chao's heart instantly had a judgment.

The enemy army that was about to meet was the vanguard of the Wei army.

And the reason why the vanguard army of the Wei army was so many more people than reported in the intelligence was that the Wei army had merged with a part of the Qiang alien race in advance.

This was something that Ma Chao hadn't expected before, but this was not enough to make Ma Chao panic.

Ma Chao originally wanted to rush to a key road north of Xiabi City to block the Wei army, but now it seems that this idea is no longer possible.

Coupled with the fact that the enemy is much more numerous than our own army, it is not appropriate to continue the rapid march at this time.

Ma Chao immediately issued an order for the whole army to stop marching.

Then he commanded the 3,000-strong army behind him to begin to form a formation.

According to the sentinel cavalry report, there are some light cavalry in the enemy army, and in the case of cavalry, they cannot lead the 3,000 Liangzhou army to retreat.

On flat ground, the infantry must not expose their backs to the cavalry.

At present, the best way to deal with the Liangzhou army is to form a formation to protect itself.

Just when Ma Chao was methodically commanding the Liangzhou army to form a formation, Jiang Wei also listened to the report of the sentry horseman.

Compared with Ma Chao's surprise, Jiang Wei was delighted after hearing that Ma Chao's army was not far away.

There are three thousand people, all of them are infantry troops, and there is flat ground outside the city, all kinds of favorable conditions for themselves are stimulating Jiang Wei's heart.

Jiang Wei issued an order for the whole army to speed up the march almost without thinking.

At Jiang Wei's urging, the 8,000 Wei army quickly bypassed Xiabiancheng and was directly exposed to the eyes of the 3,000 Liangzhou army.

Jiang Wei rode on top of the war horse and saw that the three thousand Liangzhou army had already completed the formation, but this did not make him change his mind.

The horn of the Wei army sounded high on the desolate land, representing the order of Jiang Wei, the main general, to attack.

The vanguard army must be elite, although the rapid march of the Wei army has consumed a lot of physical strength, but after the horn sounded, they did not complain, but instinctively followed the guidance of the Lingqi, and rushed towards the 3,000 enemy troops that suddenly appeared in front.

Argument, argument again!

During the Battle of Hanzhong that year, the combined forces of Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were defeated by the Wei army commanded by Cao Xiu outside the city of Xiabian.

Today, after the Second Hanzhong War began, as if it was a fateful arrangement, two armies that were mortal enemies met again outside the city of Xiabian.

And who will win this time!

Chapter 2!

I'll see if I'm free today, and if I'm free, I'll continue to watch two more.
