After some incompetent rage, Sima Zhao finally gave the order for the remaining 2,000 cavalry to return to Zhiyang.

He has already lost 3,000 cavalry, and if he loses any more, he will become a bare-bones commander. But when it's time to complete the task, it's not certain whether he Sima Zhao can escape back to Wuwei safely.

The speed at which Sima Zhao gave the order was quite timely, but if he slowed down, the cavalry would not be able to retreat.

The remaining 2,000 Wei cavalry and Ma Jian arrived at Zhiyang on their front and back feet. When he was several miles away from Ma Tan, he fled into the city, and Ma Jian finally failed to completely annihilate this group of Wei cavalry.

However, Ma Tan's mission has been completed, and the remaining 2,000 cavalry are no longer capable of continuing to wreak havoc. They didn't even dare to leave the city, and as soon as they left the city, they would be eaten by the main force of Ma Tanju.

"Hahaha...... At this point, the three-legged cat kung fu dares to be mixed? You better go home as soon as possible and pick up your wife and children! ”

Seeing that the Wei army hid in the city in embarrassment, facing a group of 3,000 Han cavalry, Ma Tan smiled very happily. personally led the troops to the city, and pointed at the Wei army at the head of the city and mocked.

If Cao Wei was such a general, without Ma Tan, the prime minister himself would have been able to succeed in the Northern Expedition.

In the final analysis, it was because Sima Zhao was pulled into the battlefield that did not belong to his rank.

If Sima Zhao is allowed to go to the Eastern Front to face Dongwu, there is a high probability that he will not only be fine, but will also have some gains. But this is the battlefield of the Western Front, where fierce men are like clouds, and it is the main battlefield of bigwigs like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi.

Even his brother Sima Shi here can only be regarded as a low-level player, let alone Sima Zhao.

So, Sima Zhao's first battle met the big demon king Ma Yan, and he was bullied very badly.

However, Sima Zhao was not very convinced, and he was angry in the face of Ma Yan's ridicule.

"Ma Tan Xiao'er dares to insult me! I don't share the sky with him! Sima Zhao walked back and forth in the house angrily, scolding angrily as he walked.

He knew that he must not go up to the city wall to confront Ma Yan, otherwise he would definitely be the one who would be angry to death. But he still couldn't stand it, he really wanted to teach Ma Jian a lesson.

At least a powerful riposte to let Ma Jian know that he is not easy to mess with.

Just when Sima Zhao was walking back and forth, unable to think of a way, one of his generals walked up.

"Doesn't the general want to counterattack the Shu army once and make that Ma Jian suffer a big loss?"

Hearing this general's inquiry, Sima Zhao was slightly stunned and shocked.

"How do you know?"

General: "......"

Just now you were scolding and angry back and forth, as long as you weren't blind, you should be able to see it, right?

Why is your own general so unreliable?

"Ahem...... This doesn't matter, there is a plan, not only can the Shu army suffer a big loss, but also have a chance to kill Ma Yan! The general cautiously reported.

"Oh? Tell me about it? Sima Zhao suddenly became interested, stopped and asked.

"There is Weng City in Zhiyang County, and the area is very narrow, which is very suitable for ambushes. The general can ambush hundreds of crossbowmen in Wengcheng, send troops out of the city to meet the battle, and introduce the Shu army into Wengcheng by defeat! ”

This general arched his hand and offered a strategy to Sima Zhao.

"Ma Tan relied on this process to attack Xiangyang in Xiangyang in the past, so he must not take precautions in the face of the same situation. And I heard that the Shu general Ma Tan has always liked to rush into battle first, so the pursuit must personally lead the team! ”

"If the ambush is done properly, even if Ma Jian can't be killed, he will have to make his cavalry suffer heavy losses. At that time, the general will be the first to defeat Ma Yan, and Sima Envoy Jun will definitely be impressed with you! ”

"Good!" Sima Zhao was immediately overjoyed, and instantly felt that this strategy was very good. However, there was some caution in his small mind, and he asked another question.

"But...... Ma Jian is brave, what if he turns the deception into a real defeat and takes advantage of the situation to enter the city? ”

"Then prepare in advance, and ride in Weng City to prepare for emergencies. If he takes advantage of the situation to enter the city, he can fight him in the inner city! The general said categorically, with a very clear attitude.

"He's not a man of God! Can you not be afraid of arrows, knives and guns? ”

"General! It's dangerous, but it's very rewarding! ”

The persuasion of the subordinate made Sima Zhao hesitate for a long time, and finally nodded firmly.

"In that case, let's take a gamble!"

Since he was a child, he has been inferior to his eldest brother, and he has always been the background board of being a Sima Shi. Although he had a very good relationship with Sima Shi, Sima Zhao still wanted to build a little prestige on his own.

At least let others see him, isn't the first reaction to be "This is Sima Shi's younger brother?" ”

So under the trend of desire, Sima Zhao began his bold plan.

…………

…………

…………

In the next few days, Ma Tan repeatedly shouted under the city, and arranged more than ten crimes of the Sima family. From Sima Yi to Sima Shi to Sima Zhao, they were all scolded by Ma Jian all over again.

If it weren't for the fact that Sima Yan hadn't been born at this time, it is estimated that he would have to be scolded by Ma Yan.

Sima Zhao obviously couldn't do it, and finally angrily went up to the city wall to scold Ma Yan.

It's good now, Ma Jian instantly made his goal clear, and the half-immortal said the famous sentence "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by" on the spot.

"Sima Zhao, Sima Zhao, you are really a birth! You are Wei Chen, and more than ten years later, you would have instructed your subordinates to kill Cao Pi's grandson......"

"Ma Yan! How dare you spew blood! Sima Zhao's face turned red, and he pointed at Ma Jian and said angrily.

"Today I will kill you!"

"Send me troops out of the city and kill Ma Yan!"

"Huh?" Ma Jian was a little surprised, this was the first time he had succeeded in scolding.

In the past, it was useless to scold, and all the guards were like turtles with shrunken heads, forcing Ma Jian to turn to the offensive of public opinion. I didn't expect that now there was a person who was scolded and anxious, and he really dared to go out of the city.

If you have a good feeling, how can you not eat the dishes that are sent to your door?

Ma Jian immediately led his troops to retreat a few miles, giving the Wei army space to leave the city, so as to strengthen the Wei army's determination to go out of the city.

Then Ma Tan saw the gate of Zhiyang County slowly open, and a large number of Wei soldiers rushed out of the city.

"Sima Zhao is not bad, at least he is more courageous than his brother! The fear of death and defeat is lower than that of other Wei generals. ”

"It's just not suitable to be a general, how can you hide behind when you fight for a general?"

"Come, let's go up and talk to him in a while, and teach him what to call a general!"

Ma Tan nodded and waved his hand with a smile, and Ma Tan's subordinates immediately understood and quickly prepared.

"Prepare your sabers and javelins, and get ready to go into the city and fight later!"

"March! Catch me with the horses and the horses!! Sima Zhao stood at the head of the city, seemingly hysterical roaring, and the Wei army took the initiative to attack the Shu army.
