Not long after, when Cao Zhen was called out of the barracks, Xiahou Yu was a little relieved, and the two of them were still old acquaintances.

At that time, Xiahou Yu was a subordinate in Cao Zhen's camp, but it was because Cao Zhen was transferred to the southern expedition, so he stayed in Xudu and was promoted to lieutenant.

It can be said that it was the little brother brought up by Cao Zhen, this little brother is now in charge of himself, he can transport grain, and among the many young generals in the family, he is also a relatively outstanding person.

"Boxian."

Cao Zhen came in a thick cotton suit, with more than a dozen guards behind him, but the equipment on his body was obviously inferior to Dian Wei, and after arriving, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately dismounted, walked in front of Xiahou Yu, and put his hands on his shoulders.

There was a little nostalgia on his face, a year and a half ago, the two of them were still drinking and talking in the barracks, at that time, they thought that the merit was very simple, and they only needed to follow the clan elders to continue to fight and make meritorious contributions.

Who knows that now the world is on different sides, and it has been a year and a half to see each other, which is somewhat exciting.

"Brother Zidan! This, this Dianwei Junhou is unreasonable! We brought these baggage, which were sent to Xiliang Ma Chao, these are his rewards, but he wants to snatch them!

”

"What to rob!" Cao Zhen glanced at Dian Wei on the side, the corners of his mouth twitched for a while, and he suddenly shouted softly: "The Qianghu in front is invading, and there are soldiers and horses in the rear, you stay here, go back to your life first, and when we repel the Qianghu soldiers and horses, how about I personally send these baggage to Ma Chao for you?!" ”

"This!?"

Xiahou Yu was stunned for a moment, this is impossible!

Brother Zidan!

It's not you!

You weren't like this before!

If there were Qianghu soldiers and horses in front of me, I would have eaten all the wooden frames of the 200,000 grain trucks on the spot!

Why are you on their side and starting to harm your own people!

This is clearly to rob the grain and grass!

"Brother, what you said is true?!"

"Presumptuous!" Cao Zhen was directly anxious, "How can the order given by the chariot ride himself be wrong?!" I've seen Qianghu a long time ago, and it's useless for me to tell you! Do you really want Xu Cheqi to come in person and beg you to go back?! ”

"If you don't leave, I'm going to drive people out!"

Cao Zhen took out the ring head knife from his waist, aimed the tip of the knife at Xiahou Yu, and snorted coldly and laughed: "It's okay if you don't leave, then stay here and go back when the war is over!" ”

"Someone, tied up!"

"Don't, don't!"

Xiahou Yu is really afraid, there is actually no benefit for him to stay here, and he may be captured as a soldier and horse in the lead.

Then maybe there will be no people in a big war.

"I'll go, I'll go!"

Xiahou Yu glanced at Cao Zhen in despair, the relationship between the upper and lower levels that he had cultivated over the years, to be honest, he was still afraid.

I didn't dare to fight against Cao Zhen, but I didn't understand why this brother hadn't seen him for a year, and his current attitude was very different from before.

He is too loyal to Xu Zhen, right?

What the hell happened in the meantime?!

Some time ago, I did hear that Cao Zhen was transferred to Youzhou, and followed the chariot to the position of captain, with about 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, but I probably could also find out that it was because he made a mistake, so he was secretly degraded, and was directly handed over to the chariot rider by the prime minister, and let it be disposed of.

They thought that their brother would rather die than give in, and even if they led the troops, they would be ready to find out information for Xu Du at any time and spy on Xu Zhen.

Today, something is wrong.

I'm afraid I'm not ready to die at any time.

"I'll go back! Please give all these burdens to Xiliang Ma Chao when the time comes! And this edict! ”

"Good!"

Dian Wei had been waiting impatiently for a long time, adhering to kindness and benevolence, so he didn't take the initiative to kill people, and asked Cao Zhen to persuade this kid to go back.

The young man is really tenacious, and he has to see Cao Zhen to feel at ease, but there is no good result when he sees it, and Cao Zhen has already sincerely attached himself.

At this moment, I am preparing to fight the alien race and make meritorious service, although I don't know if it is true or false.

After sending Xiahou Yu away, Dian Wei immediately sent all the baggage into the camp.

At this time, Xu Zhen and Zhang Liao also happened to be here, and Xu Zhen asked him to count the grain.

After Zhang Liao smiled and brought people to collect it, Dian Wei and Xu Zhen entered the tent, and at this time, of course he saw that something was wrong.

This is clearly a task.

There must have been some secret order to entrust Zhang Liao to do it, and he didn't tell him.

"Prince? Bike riding? Brother?! ”

Dian Wei stretched his neck and approached and asked, "There is a good thing, don't you call me?" ”

"It's all for Wen Yuan to make meritorious contributions, right? Are you preparing to attack Ma Chao at night?! Although I'm old, my martial arts haven't diminished at all, and I've long wanted to meet Ma Chao in person, you know......"

"You can't let me go."

Xu Zhen's face turned pale, and he suddenly disliked, "You are everywhere!" Can you not go to war?! I have an invincible general like you, do you still want to hide in the boudoir and be raised as a beauty? ”

"Hehe, that's not enough, it's okay for you to praise me Junsheng, forget about the beauty, when will you go to the battle?"

"I don't know," Xu Zhen's face became a little serious, it is indeed a good thing to get this kind of armament in the snow, but it is still unknown whether Zhang Liao can really successfully cross the land of Qianghu.

This plan was already told to Jia Xu last night.

Jia Xu didn't comment, he thought it was too risky, if Qiang Hu had really cooperated with Ma Chao, he would definitely suffer from the enemy when he entered it, and I was afraid that Zhang Liao's entire army would not be able to get out.

This is the worst-case scenario, although it may not necessarily happen.

But there is still this hidden danger, once the army is defeated, not only will it be difficult to break through the two counties of Fufeng and Jingzhao, but more importantly, the morale of the army will be damaged, and the morale will be difficult to mention.

Of course, Xu Zhen knew that as long as he was in the army, his morale would not collapse, so he had this confidence.

"What the hell is the secret order? Tell me about it! ”

Dian Wei urged, his heart was itching, he saw Xu Zhen's solemn face, and immediately understood that this was probably still a big deal, otherwise with the mentality of riding a car, there would generally not be any waves.

"Tsk," Xu Zhen glanced at him, beckoned him to take him to the main seat, and spread out a whole large map spliced together by many maps, although the drawing was simple and rough, but it could be understood that it was the terrain of Qianghu, near Hukou Waterfall, there was a waterway that could pass through a large area of alien land and enter Xiliang.

But it was not a hinterland, it happened to be on the side of Ma Chaotun's army, and coming out of the mountains, there was not much defense there, and he only needed to attack at the same time, so that he could be difficult to reach in front and behind.

"Oh, this ......" Dian Wei touched his chin and asked a very crucial question, "If Wen Yuan successfully crossed, and when he went to attack, we didn't attack the city, what if it was good?" ”

After all, after crossing, the location of the exit should be between Fufeng County and Jingzhao County, which is still very dangerous, if the soldiers and horses are a little slower, they will be attacked on their backs.

How many soldiers can Zhang Liao bring over?

It's almost 20,000 or 30,000, how long can it last?!

Xu Zhen smiled confidently, "You really got to the point, do you remember the strategy we used when we broke through Shouchun." ”

Dian Wei clapped his hands, "Oh, yes! ”

"Kong Ming lantern, right?"

This thing, I haven't used it for a long time, use a large Kong Ming lantern as a signal, as long as you put it over, Wenyuan will definitely be able to see it, but you must choose a windy time.

A large number of them were released, waiting for a large number of Kong Ming lanterns to fly up the city, the place where Wenyuan was really only ten miles away from the battlefield, and a large amount of light could be seen when he looked up.

"Oops, that's great!"

"You don't seem to be worried about him at all?"

Xu Zhen looked at Dian Weidao strangely.

"Then you definitely don't have to worry," Dian Wei's eyes widened as a matter of course, "Wen Yuan originally came from a nomadic herding on horseback, and he knew the Qiang people very well when he was in Wuyuan, so since he understood their habits, of course he dared to take this path." ”

"Over the years, no one has gone to the mountain range, and the Qiang people will definitely not set up an ambush in the mountain range, and even if they find that a large army has entered the mountain range, they are afraid of being ambushed and dare not come in, and at the same time they are not attacking the Qiang Hu, we are just passing by, what are they doing with this? Do you want to make friends in the future? ”

"General Shenweitian, they are afraid, you send someone to Qianghu to ask, are they afraid of these three words Xu Bowen! Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, you defeated Yuan Shao, and you destroyed Wuhuan and took away the white wolf, who is not afraid of your prestige. ”

"That's it!" Xu Zhen was praised like a fairy, and almost lost himself in Dian Wei's nonsense praise, and by the way, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Your reputation for killing gods in Wancheng is not small." ”

"you!"

Dian Wei shook his shoulders unhappily.

Which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, in this life only in Wancheng almost lost his life, if it weren't for the car to save him, now it may really be the soul of Zhang Xiu's gun.

It has become a stepping stone to fame for others.

"However, you are reasonable this time, Wen Yuan dares to come down, naturally he is sure......"

Xu Zhen pondered solemnly for a moment, and was actually a little calmer by Dian Wei's words, and remembered Wen Yuan's temperament, he was not a presumptuous person, and he would never affect the overall situation for the sake of merit, he must have been very confident in crossing it.

"I will definitely be able to pass, you don't always have the burden on your shoulders, I believe that Wen Yuan is, there are still Zhongkang and Zilong's soldiers and horses in the front, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

Three days later.

Before the news of Ma Teng's death reached Tongguan first, Xu Zhen estimated that Ma Chao might also receive it.

He immediately called Jia Xu.

Obviously, Jia Xu also knew the news.

I was especially happy when I first arrived.

"Zi Yu is worthy of being a student taught by Che Qi himself."

Jia Xu hurriedly walked in, praised loudly, did not hesitate to praise his words, bowed down in front of Xu Zhen, and continued: "Now, although Xu Du has solved Ma Teng, there is still chaos, I am afraid that the scholars who visited Ma Teng after arriving in Xu Du before will slowly spread the news and rumors." ”

"We can take advantage of this time to capture Xiliang as a territory and defeat the soldiers and horses of Ma and Han."

"This period of time must be the best time to do it!" Jia Xu was in high spirits, and when he mentioned Zhang Liao's surprise attack through the land of Qianghu, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "The car ride is really a stroke of genius, once this plan can be achieved, Ma Chao must be defenseless, and he can succeed!" ”

"When Ma Chao receives the news, he will be furious! The soldiers and horses under his command are all mourning soldiers! He will definitely take the initiative! And once the battle is messed up, the rear will definitely be empty, and after the emptiness, once General Wen Yuan crosses the land of Qianghu, he will definitely be able to make great achievements! ”

"Let's go! Let General Wenyuan, set off immediately! ”

Xu Zhen was stunned, "You were still ...... yesterday"

"The benefits outweigh the risks, and they don't affect the big picture! You taught me! Jia Xu stared at Xu Zhen firmly, his eyes were extremely sincere, in his opinion, now is indeed the best time to send troops.

Moreover, the frontal army can also begin to prepare equipment to attack the city, and first test the military spirit and defense strength of the Jingzhao defenders.

They were originally born in iron cavalry, and they were mostly field battles in Xiliang, so they were definitely not good at defending the city, even if they were large in number and occupied a favorable location, they would never suffer too much damage.

"So, go and give the order?"

Xu Zhen said a little messily, his eyes became dull.

You're too ...... mentality You're a person, right!?

"Then I'll go!"

Jia Xu turned around and left, so excited that his little hands were secretly making some small movements, and his steps were extremely light.

It seems that it is true that it has been concluded that it is impossible to lose.

……

Fufu-gun.

Ma Chao, who was in charge of the Chinese army, received the news, and immediately cried all night, and the army was full of mourning soldiers, receiving his emotional infection, anger bursting out, and he almost couldn't suppress the indignation in his heart.

Ma Teng's prestige in Xiliang was very great, and all the officers and soldiers in the army were subdued, but this time he went to Xu Du to die, as if he had no family.

On the same day, Ma Chao, in accordance with what his father said before, arranged for Ma Dai to start counting soldiers and preparing food for soldiers while laying down the mourning hall to mourn.

It is necessary to raid Xu Zhen's camp and force them into Tongguan first.

Taking advantage of the night raid, Xu Jun must not have imagined.

Outside the mourning hall of the main camp, Ma Dai came dressed in linen and filial piety, and the armor he wore was plain white, and after hurriedly approaching, he lowered his voice and said: "Outside Tongguan, there are two large camps, one is on a high mountain, close to Fenshui. ”

"The Lord will be Huang Zhong, looking at each other from afar, it should be a side response."

"The other place is in front of Tongguan, that is Xu Chu guarding the town, if you want to march, I am afraid it is inevitable to fight with these two people, how many ambushes are still in Tongguan, I have not found out."

Ma Chao thought for a while, and there was a ruthless look in his eyes, "The whole army is dispatched, take advantage of the momentum to immediately attack and start a battle, and you will definitely be able to go down the city first!" ”

"Tongguan, take this opportunity to take it back! Although the generals under Xu Zhen are brave, how can they withstand the fact that our iron cavalry is full of mourning soldiers, and their anger is concentric, just for revenge. ”

"Okay, follow my brother's lead!"

Ma Dai clenched his fists and left.

The second night.

Ma Teng's mourning hall is still open, and his family is mourning, Han Sui has quietly led the troops to arrive, and Ma Chao joined forces with him, and approached the vicinity of Tongguan Fenshui at night.

After finding out that Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses were on duty at night on the high slope, they divided their horses and horses to prevent him from coming to support, and directly attacked Xu Chu's camp with Han Sui's army.

"Raise the fire!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, a torch was raised, illuminating the night sky, Ma Chao's eyes were bloodshot, his heart was burning with anger, and he raised his gun and ordered to charge.

At this moment, tens of thousands of iron horsemen charged from everywhere and headed towards the camp, and Xu Chu's patrol stationed several miles away found it early, and within a few breaths, countless arrows rained down from both sides of the air.

Ma Chao and other generals looked up and immediately shouted: "Raise the shield!" Montmamm! ”

"The enemy army is on guard, don't mess up the formation!"

"Whoa!"

"Kill!

！ ”

The monstrous shouts of killing spread, and they rushed into the range of the arrow rain, but Ma Chaochong's iron cavalry in front of him was extremely well armed, and he raised his shield to block a large number of arrow rain, so that the enemy's defense was not very effective.

But soon, a tall and mighty figure came into view.

Ma Chao saw the general's personal guards appear on the side road in the camp and knew that it was where Xu Chu was.

He pointed to the slightly higher ground, "I'll go to Xu Chu, you rush to the main camp, you must let them get out of Tongguan, and fight happily today!" ”

"Whoa!"
