About fifteen miles west of Dingyuan City, the light of dawn did not shine here for the time being, and it was still pitch black all around, only the campfire emitted an inconspicuous light.

In the main tent, Li Ru looked angry, pointed to a middle-aged general sitting on a tiger skin chair, and asked, "Why are you reluctant to send troops?!" ”

The middle-aged general had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, double eyelids, and he knew at a glance that he was not a pure-blooded Han Chinese, and the wind and frost of the years had left thousands of wrinkles and scars on his face, but it still could not hide a touch of brilliance in his eyes.

The middle-aged general smiled slightly and said, "Don't be angry, it's not that I don't want to send troops, but the time is not right, even if I go, what role can I play?" ”

Li Ru paced forward, walked to a table, pressed his hands heavily on the table, and said, "What is the role?" Do you know that just now, Chen Yan almost died! ”

"Hmph...... Chen Yan? Chen Yan is just a lucky little hairy boy, do you really think that Chang'an City will surrender without Chen Yan? The middle-aged general said unhurriedly.

"Ma Teng!" Li Ru hissed and roared, "Don't think I don't know what medicine you sell in your gourd!" Chen Yan is a very ghostly kid, and he is not a master who can be settled by relying on Han Sui alone. Dong Zhuo planted it in his hands, Li Dao planted it in his hands, and even Lu Bu planted it in his hands, if you don't make a move, Han Sui alone will definitely not be his opponent! ”

The middle-aged general is naturally Ma Teng, a handsome old man of mixed race, Ma Teng slowly wiped the sword in his hand, and seemed not interested in Li Ru's topic. Even now, Li Ru pointed at his nose hysterically and yelled at himself, Ma Teng still had no intention of returning the favor.

On the contrary, a tall and mighty young man with a square face and a big beard stood up and said, "Li Ru, now that you live here, don't forget your identity." ”

Li Ru looked back, and saw that although the man with a square face was young, the word Laocheng was written on his face, especially a beard, which was not much better than the beard on Ma Teng's face, which made people really doubt his age. But his vigor makes people dare not underestimate his ability, such a man, no matter where he is, will make people pay more attention.

"Pound." Li Ru seemed to be a little frightened, and said in a low voice: "It's not that I said, the situation last night was very good, if General Ma Teng sent someone to go, we might have arrived at Chang'an City at this time." ”

"Hasn't that guy Yan Xing already arrived at Chang'an City? It's been a few days, why hasn't Chang'an City been broken? Another young general interjected. This young general is very tall, with snow-white skin, and his face is six points similar to Ma Teng, which is Ma Chao.

Li Ru saw Ma Chao and Pang De clamping themselves tightly on the left and right, knowing that if he was a little rude to Ma Teng, the two would immediately tear themselves in half, thinking of this, Li Ru had no choice but to sigh and say: "That's it, Chen Yan, this kid has suffered a loss, and he will not be fooled again." Although Cheng Gongying is cunning and cunning, Chen Yan's kid is not a vegetarian...... Yesterday's opportunity, I'm afraid it will never be again. ”

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Ru, and asked, "Li Ru, to tell the truth, Chen Yan is really that powerful?" ”

Li Ru nodded and said, "It's really so powerful." ”

Pang De shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, no matter how powerful it is, can it be better than our Jinma Chao?" ”

Ma Chao heard Pang De praise himself, but he was not polite, and immediately said: "I have never suffered defeat, what about him?" ”

Li Ru suddenly smiled and said, "It's strange to say, this kid Chen Yan often loses battles......

Ma Chao seemed to be very disdainful and sneered.

But I only heard Li Ru continue: "It's just that if the two of you go into battle...... I think Chen Yan has a better chance of winning. ”

Speaking of which, Li Ru didn't leave a chance for Ma Chao to return the favor, found a gap, and slipped away.

Ma Chao looked at Li Ru's back and said viciously: "This guy is clearly talking nonsense!" ”

Pang De patted Ma Chao's shoulder and said, "Meng Qi, don't care, he's just agitating the general." ”

Ma Chao was not obedient, without saying a word, and immediately went to the camp gate. Only Pound was left alone in the camp to accompany Ma Teng.

Ma Teng looked at these coldly and did not speak, Pang De had to speak: "Lord, look at this ......"

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "Forget it, let him go, that kid has had this temper since he was a child, Li Ru is a smart person and knows the weaknesses against Meng Qi." ”

……

In Chang'an City, Chen Yan finally fled back with the remnants of the defeated army, and just after entering the city, he saw Guo Jia and Xu Rong coming up.

Guo Jia had an expected expression on his face and said, "How, lord, have you ever tested their strength?" ”

Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "The temptation has come out, and it is certain that Ma Teng is indeed not nearby, but Li Ru is very close to Cheng Gongying. The two of them are the main thinkers of Han Suijun, and it seems that it is not easy to lure them into the bait. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Han Sui has no other interests other than Yan Xing, right?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for not, thank you for not having ...... If I had, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back today. ”

Guo Jia hurriedly expressed condolences to Chen Yan's injuries and the death and injury of the brothers. Although this battle was originally fought with the intention of defeat, causing such a large casualty was something that Guo Jia and Jia Xu did not expect.

Chen Yan was not in the mood to meet the little emperor, so he packed his equipment, appeased his subordinates, and hurried to his house. As for the dead and wounded brothers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, they did not even have a family member, and even if these poor brothers died, they had no relatives and friends to mourn them, only the rest of the comrades-in-arms occasionally remembered and shed a few tears.

I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled world. That's a good thing to say.

When Chen Yan thought of this, it was no wonder that his walking steps were much slower. The impact of the Xiliang cavalry really gave him too much shock, although Zhang Xiu's Hanfeng battalion was in full swing of drills, but Chen Yan was really not sure that this small Hanfeng battalion would be able to destroy the mighty Xiliang cavalry.

After all, their lineup is too neat and too disciplined.

Suddenly, the roar of a tiger in his house came, thinking that the two beasts were hungry again. When Dong Zhuo was alive, he fed these two tigers with human flesh, but now that Dong Zhuo is dead, the tigers can only eat some pork and mutton, and the grade has been lowered a lot, and Chen Yan has never treated them badly, so these two beasts are now very strong.

Chen Yan heard the tiger's roar, and suddenly his heart moved, as if he had a plan.
