After the Xiliang Army also arranged the three armies, Ma Chao immediately stepped in front of the military formation. Under the banner, a group of personal soldiers embraced Ma Chao and looked at the official and military formation on the opposite side, where there were groups of people and horses, and guns and spears were like a forest. Ma Chao first looked back at the military formation that had just been arranged, and estimated that it would take half an hour no matter how long it dragged on. Ma Chao was a little happy at first, but when he thought that he would have to hold Huangfu Song for an hour and a half, he was a little surprised. If you can't succeed in holding Huang Fu Song back for more than an hour and a half, you will miss the opportunity and lose the battle.

But thinking that Yang Fu could delay Huangfu Song for more than ten days, Ma Chao still mustered up the courage and was ready to play his tricks.

Ma Chao looked at the battle formation of the official army several miles away, and at first glance, he saw that at the front of the Chinese army of the official army, that is, in front of the Wugang car, there were more than a dozen horsemen holding one horse. The middle army, the left flank, the right flank, from time to time, a few horses will rush to that horse, and then leave. Ma Chao knew that those cavalry who came and went must be the heralds of each army. The heralds are responsible for delivering military orders and dispatching the whole army, and where they are concentrated, the commander-in-chief will inevitably be there. That ride, Ma Chao didn't have to think about it, he knew that it must be Huangfu Song.

At this time, Cherrigi, who was already equipped with horses, came over on horseback.

Cherrigi approached Ma Chao and said in a low voice, "Young Master." ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Well, the grease I asked you to prepare, but it's all collected and sorted?" ”

Cherrigi smiled: "Cherrigi has always dared not be undedicated. Cherrigi had ordered his soldiers to fill 1,200 large clay pots with grease, an average of three clay pots per man. ”

Ma Chaofang had the confidence to think that the chances of winning this battle would be greater.

Ma Chao saw that Cherrigi had already put on his armor now, and said: "There is still an hour and a half before the fighter plane appears and the war officially begins. The armor is so heavy, and if it is worn for a long time, not to mention the knights, they will be exhausted, and the horses will not be able to bear it. Tell the armor to be armoured, and now rest first, and after an hour and a half, put on the armor. ”

Cherry Ji lowered his head and said ashamedly: "It's Cherrigi who didn't think it through, Cherrigi will go and order the soldiers to unload their armor and rest." ”

Ma Chao nodded, and when Cherrigi left, Ma Chao explained to Pang De, Yan Xing, Ma Dai and others, and the priests and soldiers took off their armor and rested first. Then he ordered a dozen of his own soldiers and followed him to gallop towards the official army.

It wasn't until he reached the midpoint of the battlefield that Ma Chao stopped. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were in some commotion because of this, Ma Chao sent a cavalry to the front of the officers and soldiers.

Here, Huangfu Song also saw Ma Chao running to the center of the battlefield, and he must have wanted to talk to him in front of the battle. Sure enough, soon the cavalry sent by Ma Chao arrived.

Huangfu Song had long wanted to meet this young man known as "Shenweitian General" for a while, so he ignored the cavalry sent by Ma Chao, led more than a dozen horsemen, and rushed to Ma Chao.

When Huangfu Song rushed to Ma Chao, Ma Chao's personal soldiers had already laid out the carpet and erected an umbrella cover for Ma Chao. Under the umbrella cover, tables and chairs are prepared, and wine and food are placed on the tables and chairs. Ma Chao took the lead in sitting in his place, sitting and watching Huangfu Song come step by step.

Huangfu Song dismounted at a dozen paces, handed over the reins to his soldiers, walked under the umbrella, and the two looked at each other.

Ma Chao only saw Huang Fu Song really at this time, this Huang Fu Song is tall, and under the background of the golden fish scale armor and red cloak, he shows his body even more straight; The face that has been ravaged by wind and frost and time is covered with age spots and wrinkles, but it still stubbornly has a resolute look; The cloudy eyes are also bright; Beneath the helmet, white sideburns swayed in the wind; Around the pursed lips and under the wide chin, the silver threads are also blowing in the wind.

Ma Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this old man is really a group of spirits; The demeanor of a general on his body almost made him breathless.

Just as Ma Chao was looking at Huangfu Song, Huangfu Song spoke: "The general of the left chariot is coming, and General Shenwei doesn't get up to salute?" Why? ”

Looking at Huangfu Song's cold expression, Ma Chao didn't get up, sat cross-legged on the chair with a big grin, and said with a smile: "In the eyes of the foot, I am just a thief, not a Shenwei general who was rewarded by the Son of Heaven. If he is a thief, how can he bow to his feet? ”

Huangfu Song snorted coldly and said, "The old man still wants to be a righteous general, and he is quite self-aware if he doesn't want to do it." ”

As he spoke, Huangfu Song sat down and poured himself wine.

Ma Chao said: "I didn't invite you to take a seat. ”

Huangfu Song took a sip of wine and said, "Good wine!" Please or not, it's the same. ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "The old general is really open-minded. ”

Who knows, after hearing this, Huangfu Song actually slapped the table heavily, making the small tripod and ear cup on the table almost overturn.

Ma Chao deliberately showed a frightened expression and looked at Huangfu Song dumbfounded.

Huangfu Song said coldly: "The old man is always old, but it is still effortless to clean up your stinky child." ”

Ma Chao tilted his head to look at Huangfu Song, with a smile of amusement and mockery.

Huangfu Song quickly understood what Ma Chao meant, and said: "Ma'er, don't think that if you win the last battle, you can always win. ”

Ma Chao smiled: "I still remember that in the last war, I once told the truth that I was Jin Ma Chao." Who knew that you, the old general, were indifferent to my unspoken advice. Hahaha! ”

Huangfu Song was extremely angry, looked at Ma Chao coldly, and said, "Humiliate the old man? This is the purpose of this conversation with the old man? ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said, "How dare you." When you were famous all over the world, I had not yet led the troops, how could I dare to be disrespectful. The reason why I made an appointment to meet the old general and talk before the battle was because I admired the old general's prestige and intended to see the old general's demeanor. I saw that the old general didn't even pay attention to the personal soldiers I sent, so he rushed straight here, presumably he also wanted to meet me for a while. ”

Huangfu Song said: "No." Whether you see it or not, the old man doesn't care. The old man came to persuade him not to resist stubbornly. ”

Ma Chao heard this, and was not too surprised, and said: "What if I live up to my stubborn resistance?" ”

Huangfu Song looked at Ma Chao directly, and said word by word: "If you lead the neck, you will be killed, and your body will be destroyed." ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he looked back and laughed. After a long time, Ma Chao stopped laughing and said, "The old general is so upright, I admire it very much." But has the old general ever thought that just by virtue of the old general, you, the general of the defeated army, are also worthy of persuading me to surrender and die? ”

Huangfu Song was silent.

Ma Chao said disdainfully: "Yes, the old general has great achievements and is invincible, I admit it." But that was once upon a time. What did you defeat in the past, old general? Yellow Turbans? Zhang Liang? Zhang Bao? It is not an exaggeration to say that a group of hastily armed landless peasants, untrained and lacking long-term strategy. The old general defeated them, is it also worth boasting about? ”

Huangfu Song was still silent.
