The two nodded, Zhang He gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "No wonder Pound's life was exchanged for injuries before, it turned out that he was quenched on the knife, and when we besieged Pound, more or less, he was replaced with some injuries." ”

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "Hurry up and let the military doctor see how the injury is!" ”

The two took off their battle armor, only to see that Guo Huai had a knife wound on his shoulder and back, and the wound was not serious, but it was a toxic attack, and the wound was red and swollen, with red and black blood.

As for Zhang He, he had a knife wound on his left arm, and the situation was similar to Guo Huai and Cao Zhen.

The doctor was treating Xiahou, looked back at the wounds of the three people, shook his head and said: "It's all aconitum poison, fortunately, the three of you are not seriously injured, and when you besieged Pang De, Pang De fought for a while, and the venom of the knife wound was much lighter." It's just that you still need to recuperate, don't move, otherwise there is still a risk of deterioration, but a few of you, you should only need to recuperate for seven or eight days, and there will be no big problem. ”

Zhang He, Cao Zhen and others were relieved when they heard this, and it was not unacceptable to recuperate for seven or eight days.

"That being the case, we can only postpone the attack on Yangping Pass." Xiahou Yuan sighed and said: "You and the others are all Wei Gong humerus, if the injury worsens because of the siege, once it is damaged, even if Yangping Pass is captured, it will be more than worth the loss, and the army's morale will be unstable." ”

The generals nodded and said, "That's all!" ”

Xiahou Cheng, who was lying on the bed, gritted his teeth and said: "Pang Depiff, I swear to kill you!" ”

When everyone heard this, a trace of helplessness flashed in their eyes, like a ruthless person like Pound to be their enemy, but it was too terrifying.

is not afraid of death, and his style of acting is vicious, which is too tricky.

"That's right!" Cao Zhen seemed to remember something, and arched his hand: "Before sending troops, I suggested that the general lead his troops to occupy the Guancheng Road, so as not to prevent Liu Bei from sending troops out of Yangping Pass, but the general did not allow it, but I didn't expect Liu Bei to send troops out of Yangping Pass."

Now Ma Chao is here, but I don't know if he has any follow-up soldiers and horses, even if he doesn't, there must be a team to escort grain and grass baggage, and now he should send a team of soldiers and horses to occupy the valley mouth and go down to the village to intercept Ma Chao's baggage team. ”

"I regret not listening to Zidan's plan!" Xiahou Yuan slapped his thigh when he heard this, his eyes were full of remorse, and when he set out on the expedition, Cao Zhen suggested that he lead his troops to isolate the Guancheng Road to avoid Liu Bei sending troops out of Yangping Pass. But he swore that Liu Bei would not send troops, but now that Ma Chao came, he slapped him in the face.

If he had followed Cao Zhen's advice from the beginning, then Ma Chao would not have been able to pass Yangping Pass, and Pang De must have been killed at this moment, and the army might also have entered Yangping Pass.

However, it is not too late to make amends, Xiahou Yuan sighed and ordered: "Xiahou Ba, now all the generals need to recuperate, tomorrow you will lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to the mountain pass, and go down to the village." ”

"No!" Xiahou Ba gave up his hand.

Soon, a new day arrived.

At the head of Yangping Pass, the defenders in the city were in strict formation, Ma Chao and Ma Dai stood on the head of the city, condescending, looking at the Cao army camp in the distance.

Although Pang De said that he quenched poison on the knife, and the generals of the Cao army would be poisoned and could not lead the troops to attack, Ma Chao still couldn't rest assured, he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if the generals of the Cao army still led their troops to attack regardless of the injury, and Yangping Pass did not take precautions, it would be very bad.

However, Ma Chao and Ma Dai waited until the third pole of the sun, and there was no movement of Cao Jun's camp to attack Yangping Pass.

Seeing that the sun had risen, Ma Chao ordered Ma Dai: "Send a scout to inquire about the situation!" ”

"No!" Ma Dai gave up his command.

Ma Dai was about to send out scouts, but he heard a person in the city say: "Coming, coming, sending troops!" ”

Ma Dai hurriedly returned to the edge of Guancheng, only to see a team of soldiers and horses coming out of Cao's military camp.

When the generals of the Hanzhong army saw Cao Jun sending troops, they were all nervous, and they all ordered: "Prepare for defense quickly!" ”

Ma Chao looked at it for a while, shook his head and said: "No, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses, and there are heavy trucks, so they are not here to attack the city!" ”

Sure enough, I saw that the soldiers and horses were not rushing to the side of Yangping Pass, but towards the mountain pass east of Yangping Pass.

"Are you going to intercept General Zhang San?" Ma Dai frowned when he saw this.

"They wouldn't have thought that our army would have thrown thousands of miles into the north, and its purpose should be to intercept our army's heavy grain and grass." Ma Chao shook his head, and then said with a solemn face: "But they made a mistake." ”

"So what now?" Ma Dai said with a solemn face: "It seems that they have 5,000 soldiers and horses, if they are allowed to occupy the mountain pass, it will be difficult for the three generals to come over." ”

Ma Chao nodded, and then ordered: "Go and see who the leading general is!" In addition, let's take a look at the movements of Cao's military camp. ”

However, after a while, the scout returned and ordered Ma Chao: "Cao's military camp is as usual, and there is no intention of sending troops, and the soldiers and horses going to the mountain pass are led by Xiahou Ba. ”

"Xiahouba?" Ma Dai wondered, "Who is this person?" ”

The scout replied, "It's the second son of Xiahou Yuan!" ”

Ma Chao groaned: "Listening to Ling Ming, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou said, Guo Huai, Zhang He, Cao Zhen and other generals have all suffered some losses from him, and they must have been poisoned, these people need to recuperate, and they can't move lightly." As for Cao Chun, he is a cavalry general, so Xiahou Yuan can only send this Xiahou Ba out to set up camp.

In this way, there is a way, Xiahou Ba is just a hairy boy, and they don't necessarily know that Yide is leading his troops to come. Therefore, we only need to take the initiative to attack and harass the main camp of the Cao army.

There are no generals available in Cao's main camp at present, and as soon as Xiahou Ba sees our army attacking, he is worried about his father, and his eyes will definitely be attracted to our side, so that he will relax his reconnaissance on the side of Guancheng Road, and Yide's side will be easy to succeed. ”

As for Xiahou Ba's camp, Ma Chao naturally couldn't attack, once he went, not only Xiahou Ba, but even Xiahou Yuan Zhang He, would think that there were heavy troops coming in his rear, maybe he would send additional troops and horses to the camp, and even set up an ambush to deal with Zhang Fei.

Ma Dai was embarrassed: "We only have this little person, how can we take the initiative to attack?" ”

"It's not really going to fight!" Ma Chao smiled faintly and said: "The way of the art of war, virtual and real, virtual is real, real is virtual, we just need to make enough momentum so that Xiahou Ba does not dare to distract him." Today, I will personally go to challenge, and at noon, you will lead 300 cavalry out of the pass, tie the tail of the horse to a bush, and ride your horse in front of Cao's camp. ”

Ma Dai shook his head and said: "In this way, the first or two times can attract Xiahou Ba's attention, but if you use it too much, Xiahou Ba will not pay attention to it."

Ma Chao said with a smile: "The real is false, the virtual is real, and it will really be there when the time comes, so you can also take the opportunity to kill the morale of Cao Jun." ”
