Chapter 40: The Four Heroes Meet Before the Two Formations

After listening to Zhang Ren's words, Ma Chao nodded, then waved his hand to everyone and said, "Okay, then let's go!" ”

It should be said that this time is definitely a very rare one, why do you say that, because this time Ma Chao means to take everyone to meet the enemy, then there will be no one to guard in Yi County.

Everyone was still a little puzzled, this time their lord didn't leave anyone behind in Yi County. However, there are still those who really know what their lord means, such as Guo Jia and others, who all understand.

In fact, what Ma Chao thinks is still very simple. You said that if you win, it is better than anything else. But if you really lose the enemy army, it seems that there are no people left in the county in the end, it seems that it is really useless, so instead of no one who loves being in the city, and it is quite offensive, it is better for everyone to go outside the city to meet the enemy, isn't this a great joy.

So let's go together, it's really nothing. Whoever is left behind is not good. Ma Chao, who is the lord, of course, can also think about his subordinates, but of course, in the final analysis, he is still for himself, which is also true-

So everyone went out of the city to reorganize the army, and the men and horses were not outside the east city gate and the north city gate before, so this time, of course, they had to pull people outside the east city gate and the north city gate, or they would not fight the enemy.

The army of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Bei finally arrived, but they were camped three miles away from Ma Chao's Liangzhou army camp. They are "masters of art and bold". The distance is not far, and I am not afraid of any moves by the Liangzhou army. It's not that they're arrogant, it's because they claim to be hundreds of thousands of troops. The Liangzhou army will definitely not come over like that in the daylight. Of course, there should be precautions, but they are still indispensable.

As for the night, it is even more strictly guarded, after all, this robbery camp at night, basically everyone has done this, and it is not ruled out that the Liangzhou army will have such an idea. Even if you have more than 100,000 people, nearly 200,000. But it's okay during the day, but at night, it's fine.

Tanma has already come to report. So Ma Chao also knew that Cao Cao and they had arrived, and they were now camping, but Ma Chao didn't have any idea about it.

If Cao Cao hadn't taken precautions at this time, he wouldn't believe it. And things can't be said the way you think. Go to the camp in broad daylight. If people are on guard, basically you will have no effect. Even if you send out elite soldiers, no matter how many you can deliver, it is impossible to send more than 100,000 people, so of the nearly 200,000 people, you can only kill others for nothing, so ......

Ma Chao did not gather everyone at this time, but just sent people to each tent to give orders. Sue them, tomorrow. Fight the enemy!

Naturally, Ma Chao sent an envoy to the camp of Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and the camp of Sun Liu's coalition army to write a war letter.

After the others came back, they told Ma Chao that Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei had already received the battle book, and it was just tomorrow that the two sides would fight! ――

Ma Chao patted the table and said in his heart, okay, just wait for tomorrow. But let's be honest, people are just waiting for tomorrow, aren't they?

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Ma Chao beat the drums and gathered the generals, and set off with everyone to order troops. After all, the camps of the two armies are separated by three miles, so they have to go a little further. Don't look at the fact that there are almost 300,000 people on both sides, but now this place is empty enough and big enough, so if they fight, it will not be a problem at all.

It's impossible for both sides to fight in a place where they can't fight, isn't that a joke? Almost at the same time, Cao Cao and the others also beat their own drums and gathered generals, and then set off.

To tell the truth, this is officially against Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, and sooner or later there will be this battle, so Cao Cao and they also attach great importance to it. However, what should have been said to their generals and soldiers had already been said, so they simply said a few words, set off with their troops, fought with all their might, and then led their troops away.

The two sides have already met, and the distance between them is not too far, it should be said that it is just the right distance.

On Cao Cao's side, he and Liu Bei both led 30,000 troops, and Sun Ce led 40,000 troops. And Ma Chao is the same, he directly pulled out 100,000 horses. Although the people on both sides are the same, it is not certain who will die in the end. After all, this is a war, and it cannot be judged from the number of people alone.

Even if Ma Chao thinks that his own combat power is the strongest, he doesn't dare to say for sure that he will win this time. Similarly, Cao Cao and Sun Ce were confident, but they didn't dare to be sure of anything.

The rules of the rivers and lakes, at this time, everyone in charge has to step forward to chat a few words. Of course, this is certainly not the kind of small talk, but it is just a few simple words, cheering up your own side, damaging the morale of the other party, and that's pretty much it. Of course, yes, they know each other very well, but they haven't seen each other, or to be precise, they haven't seen each other for a long time, so they just met and exchanged a few words.

Therefore, several people were unanimous, without any words of action, and went directly between the two armies.

Of course, both sides have to bring their own protective generals, such as Cao Cao, needless to say, followed by Xu Chu. And Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the two are followed by Zhang Liao and Wen Chou respectively. Even if Sun Ce believed that he was superb in martial arts, he didn't say that he wouldn't take someone with him. Didn't you see that Ma Chao also brought one, everyone still knows, isn't that Cui An Cui Fuda, who is known as the God of Killing.

It's really a "human name." The shadow of the tree", seeing that this uncle was following Ma Chao, it was impossible for Cao Cao not to pay attention to it. If this is really a move, Cao Cao said in his heart, he will suffer a loss.

After several people met, they couldn't help but laugh, as for what they laughed for. It's different. But no matter what, this meeting and talking must still be indispensable.

Cao Cao is a relatively cheerful person. So he was the first to speak, and at this time, I heard him say to Ma Chao: "Brother Meng Qixian, don't come to harm?" ”

It should be said that among the people here, only he and Ma Chao should be said to be the most familiar. Although Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Ma Chao have known each other for many years. But compared to Cao Cao, it's still a lot worse-

How to say that when Ma Chao was nothing, Cao Cao knew him, and several people knew that Cao Cao helped Ma Chao a lot, and over the years, you can see who Cao Cao has helped. Of course, in terms of Cao Cao's current status. Who else could he help, and how many people could beg him?

So look at it this way. The friendship that Ma Chao and Cao Cao only saw at the beginning was really, it can be said to be very valuable. With the continuous improvement of status and status, it can be said that there can only be fewer and fewer real friends, or why does the emperor claim to be called a widow, this is not unreasonable, but the fact exists.

Now if you ask Cao Cao, how many friends does he have, at least Sun Ce and Liu Bei, they are definitely not friends, and the enemy will definitely not be able to escape. As for Ma Chao, he used to be a friend, but now he can't be said to be a pure friend. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were also friends before, but later, weren't they too......

Seeing Cao Cao take the initiative to greet him, Ma Chao was also embarrassed in his heart, how many years have this been-

When I first met Cao Cao, Cao Cao was only a teenager before he reached the age of establishment. But now, Cao Cao is almost at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he is also past the age of standing.

Twenty years have passed, and Cao Cao has aged a lot. Indeed, at least at that time, in Ma Chao's impression, Cao Cao didn't have much gray hair, yes, but if you don't look carefully, you can't see anything. But now, if you look at it again, there are a lot of gray and yellow hair. So in this regard, can Ma Chao not be emotional.

Similarly, when he saw Liu Bei, it was actually the same. When I first met Liu Bei, I was still a prince begging for Dong, and from that time to now, ten years have passed, and Liu Bei is a lot older. At that time, I was in my thirties, and now I am in my forties.

That is, Sun Ce, he is indeed not old compared to the two. yes, he's younger than himself, so there's no need to say more.

Ma Chao bowed his hand to Cao Cao and said, "Okay, very good!" Hahaha! Brother Meng De, Xuande Gong, Bo Fu, super polite! ”

Even if Ma Chao and the three of them are hostile, they should be courteous. Besides, apart from being enemies with the three of them, it seems that there really is no mortal enmity. Fighting a war is definitely indispensable, so I don't need to say much about this.

These people, even Sun Ce and Ma Chaona, have known each other for several years, and the relationship with these people is indeed rather chaotic.

and Cao Cao used to be very good friends, the relationship is very good, Cao Cao has helped him a lot, of course, he has also helped him.

As for Liu Bei, it's not that he hasn't been in contact with him before, but he doesn't have a deep friendship.

As for the last Sun Ce, let alone this, there are fewer people who help him? The heirloom jade seal was not given to him by himself.

But no matter what, the only thing that can't be changed is the relationship between several people now. They are all enemies in any way, but this one is not wrong at all. What was the past, it can only be the past. Now that the two sides are going to fight, then just put aside those things in the past and fight, it can be said that several people think so.

Ma Chao gave a few people a salute, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei couldn't slack off-

Don't look at the fact that several people are princes of the world, but if you compare the two of you with Ma Chaoyi. That's really not good, and the strength is not enough. And the others spoke first, of course the two of them couldn't be lazy.

So Sun Ce and Liu Bei hurriedly returned the salute. "I've seen the hussar general!"

Although Liu Bei and Ma Chao have also met, they have no deep friendship, so it is not easy to call him a cousin. As for Sun Ce, and Ma Chao once helped him, he couldn't call Meng Qi directly. After all, these two are still incomparable with Cao Cao, whether it is their status or their relationship with Ma Chao. So Cao Cao can call Meng Qixian brother, and they can't even call him a cousin.

Of course, it can also be said that Cao Cao is for the people he values. are more or less close, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei are relatively distant from Ma Chao, which is inevitable.

Ma Chao smiled at Sun Ce and Liu Bei and nodded. To say that he may owe Cao Cao. But I don't owe them anything, that's right. And what do the two of them call themselves, they naturally don't think about this, but Cao Cao, after so many years, many things, but they still haven't changed much-

Yes, so many years have passed. Being old is being old, and it is impossible for nothing to remain the same. But that character, that temper, has not changed. That's true, after all, it's almost something that can't be changed, isn't it?

Cao Cao smiled at Ma Chao at this time, "Hahaha!" Meng Qi, goodbye now, but in such a situation! ”

Isn't it, I have also seen Cao Cao in Jizhou before, but at that time, there were some places where I cooperated. But now goodbye, it's a real hostility.

Ma Chao shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Brother Meng De should know, but this is doomed and cannot be changed!" ”

Originally, unless you go to dominate the world, but even so, will each other definitely let each other go? This, hehe, who knows, it's hard to say, anyway, it's all possible.

Cao Cao didn't say much when he heard this, he just laughed, "Hahaha! Hahahaha! ”――

As for Sun Ce and Liu Bei at this time, they all knew the friendship between Cao Cao and Ma Chao, plus Cao Cao was a more nostalgic person, so they all understood that the two of them had to say a few words. If it were the two of them, it would definitely not be as much as Cao Cao had to say.

Originally, I didn't have much friendship with Ma Chao, and I couldn't compare with Cao Cao.

After the two exchanged a few words of greetings with each other, it was Sun Ce's turn and Liu Bei to speak to Ma Chao, Liu Bei didn't have anything to say, it was, the two didn't have any friendship at all, so they just nodded to each other, and that's it.

As for Sun Ce, he had something to say to Ma Chao, so he saw that he gave up his hand to Ma Chao and said: "The original thing was thanks to the general's help, but this policy is not forgotten!" ”

Ma Chao shook his head in his heart, to be honest, he didn't listen to Sun Ce to thank him, it was useless for him.

But from the perspective of being a person, Ma Chao still appreciates Sun Ce, and the husband should have clear grievances, which is good-

But now the two are enemies after all, so everything else is put aside, and they will fight when they should fight, which is stronger than anything else.

So before Sun Ce could say anything, Ma Chao just smiled, and then waved his hand at Sun Ce, and heard him say: "Bo Fu, there is no need to mention the previous things, to be honest, everything I did was just for myself!" Now that you and I are hostile, we should put aside the past and fight with all our might, so much better! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled bitterly, "It's okay, but no matter what, Ce can't forget it after all!" ”

didn't say much, Sun Ce gave up his hand to Ma Chao again, and then stopped talking. In fact, I said to Ma Chao, it was before, then now is now, I thank Ma Chao for it, but I still have so many subordinates, and there are so many Jiangdong soldiers, so it is impossible not to fight with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, which must be indispensable.

Ma Chao nodded to Sun Ce, and didn't say much. And Cao Cao listened to the conversation between the two, and said in his heart that there is something he doesn't know, it seems that there is still a hidden secret, and of course he can't know everything. Let's just say who makes Sun Bofu and Ma Mengqi, I don't know if I don't know-

Anyway, the war is still the battle, and the past can only represent the past, even if it can't be forgotten, but it doesn't affect what is not.

Now that he is an enemy, how to treat the enemy, he knows, Liu Xuande knows, and he Sun Bofu knows.

Not to mention, what Cao Cao and Ma Chao think is basically the same, the same. It's not that the two have the same personalities or anything, it's just that they are the same in terms of dealing with this issue. (To be continued......)
