Cao Xiu led the troops back to the camp and saw that Sima Yi was directing the soldiers to repair the camp, because of the rain, only one part of the camp was burned to the east, and the rest was intact.

The Han army retreated in a hurry, leaving countless armor and weapons, the Wei army put out the fire in time, and obtained a lot of grain and grass baggage, and immediately swept away Zhang Ren's regrets, and ordered the three armies to be rewarded, and the whole army celebrated.

Sima Yi blamed himself: "It's a pity that I couldn't keep Ma Chao and let him save Zhang Ren, and the general can't redeem people." ”

Cao Xiu sighed: "This is not a bad plan of the military advisor, but that there are no generals in the army, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" ”

Sima Yi said: "Will be plotting but not brave!" Ma Chao is brave and unscrupulous, impatient and aggressive, so there is nothing to worry about. This setback, there will be another decisive battle, I want to use the trick to get rid of it, to snow my hatred! ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

After months of hard work, he finally ushered in a big victory, although he failed to kill the enemy general as he wished, but it was enough to boost morale, and Cao Xiu also trusted Sima Yi more.

Sima Yi replied: "The Xiliang army is very sharp, there are a lot of men and horses, and it cannot be eliminated, so it needs to be planned slowly." I ordered people to repair the camp, wait for Ma Chao to come, first frustrate its sharpness, and then break the Xiliang army, and behead this horseman! ”

Cao Xiu said worriedly: "It's just that there are no generals in the army, and it is difficult to match Ma Chao, and it may be difficult to hold for a long time, so what can I do?" ”

Sima Yi sneered: "Don't worry, general, although the Xiliang army is brave, they are all cavalry, and they are not good at foot combat, I have ordered people to lay countless pits around the camp, so that he does not dare to attack easily." Youzhou reinforcements have arrived in Wei County, and they will arrive in a few days, and it will be Ma Chao's death at that time! ”

Cao Xiu frowned and said: "The reinforcements in Youzhou are only three or five thousand, and it is difficult to match the Xiliang army, why is the military division so determined?" ”

Sima Yi's eyes were slightly cold, and he said slowly: "Ma Chao is making a comeback, with the intention of killing me, not on the general!" After a few days, I should be defeated and retreat, and the general can retreat to Xiuwu to hold on, but I flee outside the city. Ma Chao must lead the troops to chase and kill, but let the reinforcements ambush in the mountains, I will introduce this thief into the Jedi, set up an ambush on ten sides, forgive him for his wings and cannot escape. ”

"I see!" Cao Xiu was overjoyed, and said: "But the horse is super brave, Xiliang is extremely fast, and the military advisor personally lures the enemy, so be careful." ”

Sima Yi said: "I have my own preparations, but the general guards the city, and I can't be careless!" Just hold on for one day, and when I get rid of Ma Chao, I will lead reinforcements to help in the battle. At that time, I led the crowd to attack it, and the general came out of the city to respond, and he was invincible, and he could be broken with one drum. ”

Cao Xiu's confidence increased greatly, and he laughed and said: "As long as Ma Chao is eliminated, the rest of the generals in Xiliang will be regarded as dogs and sheep's ears!" ”

was discussing the deployment of troops, and suddenly probed Ma Fei's report: "Ma Chao really reorganized his troops and horses to take revenge, with Pang De as the vanguard, carried a coffin in front of the army, and threatened to fight to the death with Sima Junshi, and he had reached ten miles outside the camp. ”

When Sima Yi heard this, his face sank, and he touched the mustache on his lips and said coldly: "I want to break Ma Chao's corpse into ten thousand pieces, crush the bones and scatter ashes, and dare to use a coffin?" ”

Cao Xiu changed color, slapped the case, and said angrily: "If Ma Chao is close, it's just a matter of talking wildly!" Pound's nameless man also dares to shout, so despised me, he should behead this thief first to boost the army's prestige. ”

Sima Yi persuaded: "The general is the most important in Hanoi and guards Hebei, so why should he be as knowledgeable as a reckless general?" Cao Xiu said angrily: "If you don't go to war, won't you laugh at the Xiliang army and there is no one in my camp?" ”

Sima Yi said: "Why don't you send the general to the enemy, see what the strength of this thief is, if the enemy is not defeated, it is not too late for the general to fight again." ”

"That's right!" Cao Xiu had just taken over Cao Ren's post as the general of the chariot and cavalry, and he also believed in his identity, so he ordered the three armies to form a formation to meet the enemy.

After a short time, the Xiliang army arrived in a mighty way, Cao Xiu took his sword and got on his horse, leading the crowd to welcome Pang De in the future, and Sima Yi was guarding at the camp gate, just in case.

I saw Pang De wearing fish scale armor, holding a big knife, straddle a white horse, with a white cloth hanging on his bronze helmet, and five hundred Xiliang troops behind him, all of whom removed their helmets and hung white cloths, apparently for the dead soldiers to wear filial piety.

The two formations were in circles, and several soldiers painted ink on their faces, drawing runes of the sun and the moon, carrying a coffin on their shoulders, swaying in front of the formation.

When the Wei army saw such a strange scene, there was a commotion, and the coffin was prepared before going into battle, which was also too unlucky and unheard of.

Pang De pointed to the coffin and scolded: "Sima dog thief, are you still afraid? If you and I have one today, one will lie in the coffin. ”

Cao Xiu saw that Pang De actually ignored him, and he rushed up angrily and scolded: "Pang De thief, you kill innocents indiscriminately, you deserve it, and you dare to shout here?" ”

Pang De immediately crossed his sword, and when he didn't see Sima Yi come out of the battle, he squinted at Cao Xiu and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Cao Xiu's face flushed with anger, and he pointed to the banner behind him and shouted: "Xiliang dog thief is illiterate? A certain is the general of the car cavalry, Cao Xiu is also! ”

Pang De shouted: "I came here to take revenge, to take Sima Yi's head." The account of the Cao family, not counted for the time being, quickly called the shrunken turtle to come out and die. ”

Cao Xiu was furious, and looked back at the generals and shouted: "Who will kill this thief with me? ”

"The last will go!" As soon as the words fell, the deputy general Zhang Pu rode his horse and raised his gun to fetch Pound.

Zhang Pu and Xue Qiao are generals promoted from the army when Cao Xiu returned to Yecheng to transfer troops, and a big victory has greatly increased their confidence.

Pang De stepped forward on the horse, parried with a horizontal knife, and the two of them fought in a circle, and in less than five times, they were cut down by Pang De under the horse, and the Wei army was shocked.

Cao Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this stout man again, and when he looked at Pang De again, he felt that this person had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his momentum was calm, and he actually had the posture of a general.

was in shock, but saw Pound shouting with a knife: "Who else?" ”

Cao Xiu remembered that he had said big things in front of Sima Yi before, and at this time he was watching the battle in the camp, and if he retreated, he would laugh at him, so he fought on horseback.

Cao Xiu can be praised by Cao Cao as a thousand-mile horse, and naturally he also has advantages, and he has fought with Pang De for more than 20 times, regardless of victory or defeat, but he knows that he is not this person's opponent, so he retreats with a false move.

"If you don't hand over Sima Yi, no one will want to leave!" Pound refused to give up and took advantage of the situation to lead his troops to rush and kill.

The Wei army retreated into the camp in a hurry, only to see both sides of the camp gate, suddenly random arrows were fired, and more than a dozen cavalrymen in front of them fell to the ground, so they had to turn their horses to the side, and returned to the front of the formation in a circle, and the camp gate had already been closed.

Pang De immediately saw Sima Yi at the camp gate and shouted: "Sima dog thief, I see how long you can hide!" ”

Sima Yi took a deep look at Pang De, did not answer, and ordered the soldiers to guard the camp carefully, and go back to the Chinese army tent with Cao Xiu first.

In the evening, Ma Chao led the army to arrive, and the two shouted and cursed outside the camp for a while, and the Wei army did not dare to fight, and they could not defend the camp.

Ma Chao and Pang De each led an army and wanted to attack the camp directly, but the Wei army had already dug a trench in front of the camp, the front army fell, and the rear army was repelled by random arrows, and hundreds of people were broken.

The two of them were furious, but they had no choice but to retreat for several miles and set up camp, waiting for Ma Dai's reinforcements to arrive, and then discuss the plan to break the enemy.
