Chapter 568: Guanzhong Strategy (18)
When Ma Chao swept over, he only saw Li Dao and the others miserable chicken feathers. Ma Chao couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, so he asked: "Seventy thousand people rejected Liu Bei, why did they lose so quickly?" ”
This battle is fought, even if 70,000 pigs line up to stop Liu Bei, it should be longer than Li Dao and others to insist, right? Li Dao's face was full of shame and speechless. Li Kan finally escaped, he was frightened for a long time and was digesting the aftertaste, and was questioned by Ma Chao, a young man, and was immediately annoyed and angry, but he didn't dare to attack, so he replied: "Today's grain road has been lost, and the army has no fighting spirit, so there is this defeat." ”
Ma Chao thought about it, and then said to Li Wei: "In this case, General Li can lead the crowd back to Yangling." I defend myself against Liu Bei's people. ”
When Li Wei heard this, he knew that Ma Teng and Han Sui led the crowd to come later, so he didn't worry about Ma Chao, and knew that he was no longer able to fight, so he and Li Kan led the remnants to surround Yangling.
Ma Chao then led the army to garrison Baqiao, guarding the main road, waiting for the arrival of Liu Bei's army. After Liu Bei cleaned up here, he found that the troops were fighting more and more. Excluding the disabled and the old and weak, there were 20,000 more soldiers in the army. Liu Bei divided the people, and the generals instantly smiled. This battle is not a loss, and there are a few better opponents like Li Dao.
Since Li Dao was defeated and retreated, Liu Bei naturally would not let him go. It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name of the overlord. He was worried about Zhang Xiu in Yangling, so Liu Bei ordered the army to allocate camps and advance after a day's rest. Of course, in order to cross the Wei Bridge, you must defeat the obstacles in front of you. Liu Bei knew that the Ma and Han coalition forces had come. He was also prepared. After subduing these two old military leaders, Liangzhou will not be able to make any waves. If he can't defeat Ma Teng and Han Sui, Guanzhong is afraid that he will also be unstable.
will cross the Ba water, and the front sentry will come to report, saying that there is a general who will lead thousands of horsemen to occupy the side of the bridge. When Liu Bei heard this, he invited the future to see. Baqiao, in the east of Chang'an City, above the water. The Han people crossed the water to make a bridge, sent guests here, and folded willows to say goodbye. There are countless stories to tell here. Liu Bei and the generals arrived in front of the Baqiao, only to see that the water was clear, the mountains were stacked and green, the green pines on the left and right were bent, and the ancient cypress was gloomy. Good scenery in the heart. It's just that there is a bit of a bad scenery that there is a general at the end of the bridge, straddled the horse and held a gun, blocking the way.
Liu Bei looked at his banner, but it was a horse-shaped flag. The heart will be so young, could it be that Ma Chao has arrived? Ma Chao was over there, and he saw several people coming out of the battle, and he was the first one, surrounded by the generals, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly said, that person was Liu Bei. If I can induce him to come out and answer, and take advantage of his unpreparedness and capture him, my name will be visible in the world.
Although Ma Chao disagreed with his father, Ma Chao was actually deeply influenced by his father Ma Teng. If Ma Teng does not rebel, if he can become a marquis from a small official and become one of the actual controllers of Liangzhou today? So that's a very bad influence. And Liangzhou is generally this concept of the supremacy of courage, which makes Ma Chao's personality extremely belligerent. This time, he insisted on sending troops, in addition to wanting to maintain his semi-independent status in Liangzhou, more to make a name for himself in the world.
Liangzhou is too small, the Han Dynasty is so big, there are many heroes, if you can defeat Liu Bei in one battle. Wouldn't the name of his martial arts be spread all over the world? Young people always have dreams. I also have plenty of time and energy to dare to pursue my dreams. Ma Chao wanted to do this, and he did it.
Ma Chao marched out of the column and shouted: "Is the general Liu Junhou in front? Boy Ma Chao, please also ask Liu Junhou to answer. "Ma Chao is conceited, but not stupid. Some people in history say that after Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he called Liu Bei the word "Liu Bei", which made Guan Yu and Zhang Fei angry, and he stood upright in the army and wanted to kill Ma Chao. Ma Chao was afraid of Fang and changed his name to Lord Liu Bei. In fact, this is nonsense at all. When Ma Chao surrendered, Guan Yu was sitting in Jingzhou, and he couldn't move, so he wrote to Zhuge Liang to ask how he compared to Ma Chao. Then Zhuge Liang replied that he was not as good as the beauty of the man. This account speaks for itself.
Liu Bei heard that it was Ma Chao, so he went out of the queue and walked forward. Next to him, Liu Ke and Shamoke are inseparable. The two horses walked slowly, and when they got closer, Ma Chao saluted Liu Bei and said, "The kid is in Xizhou, and he has heard of the name of the prince for a long time. I Guan Liang generals, I have no grudges with the monarch and marquis, how can I cut them down now? ”
Liu Bei looked at Ma Chao with his eyes, and saw that his face was majestic, his ape arms and bee waist, and he was full of energy, so he couldn't help but praise it secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "Meng Qi's words are wrong. Guan and Liang are the places of the imperial court. I am in charge of the world to conquer, and I want to restore the story of Huan and the Year of the Spirit, but Li Zhiran and others refused to obey the order, so there is this battle. Now Meng Qi has come with a crowd, and he also wants to follow Li Zhiran? ”
To be reasonable, Ma Chao really can't talk about Liu Bei, not to mention that Liu Bei himself is reasonable. Could it be that Ma Chao said that I just want to be separated? Ma Chao listened and was speechless. was slightly annoyed in his heart, so he wanted to use his hands to catch Liu Bei. I also saw that Liu Bei was accompanied by two generals. I thought in my heart, these two will accompany the guards, but I am afraid that they are not ordinary people. After thinking about it, in the end, it was the adventurous mind that prevailed. Anyway, if you want to fight Liu Bei, it's better to have a surprise attack, even if you don't succeed, you can get out of the way.
Liu Bei was waiting here to see how Ma Chao would answer, and saw Ma Chao suddenly shouting, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse neighed, and hit him like the wind. Before Liu Bei could react, two loud shouts sounded at the same time. Liu Ke and Shamoke grabbed it at the same time and went to stop Ma Chao.
How powerful is Ma Chao? Later generations ranked the generals of the Three Kingdoms according to the romance and official history, and then no matter how they ranked, Ma Chao would basically be in the top five or top ten list. In other words, among the super-first-class generals.
Liu Ke and Shamoke were furious in their hearts. Ma Chao doesn't take them seriously. actually regarded them as nothing, and then brazenly shot at the lord! It's really looking for death!
The big gun flashed with cold light, and it went straight to Ma Chao's throat; The iron rod was clamped with a strange wind, and the horse was smashed by force. Good Ma Chao, seeing that the second future was vicious, he shook the big gun in his hand, first swung Liu Ke's blade, and then knocked it up, and opened the Shamoke iron rod. When the staggered saddle passed, Ma Chao looked at Liu Bei again, and Liu Bei had already returned to the camp. Liu Bei was taken aback by Ma Chao, he didn't expect this guy to be so stunned. At this time, Liu Bei's heart was beating, and the son of his daughter couldn't sit down. The Holy Lord does not take advantage of the danger and is lucky. The ancients did not deceive me.
After Liu Bei returned to the camp, the generals were furious and wanted to raise troops to attack. Liu Bei waved his hand to stop. I have heard of Ma Chao's reputation for a long time, and it is good to see his ability.
Looking at it, I saw the three generals fighting together, you come and go, so it's not lively. And Ma Chao is especially powerful. He lifted his spirits and fought two generals in a row without being afraid. After dozens of combinations, Pound was behind, and he was afraid that the horse would be lost, so he came to help. Here, Tai Shi Ci flew out again. Fight Pound in one place. Liu Bei watched it for a while, and then ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. and returned to the camp with the people.
