Thirty miles south of Pusaka Pass.

On the flat avenue of the Guanzhong Plain, more than 100,000 Wei troops have been marching south.

Su Zhe sat on the red rabbit, admiring the scenery of the Guanzhong Plain, full of spirit and majesty.

He has the real-time picture of the meteorological satellite, and can monitor the picture of Puban Pass in real time, so he naturally knows the news of the victory nearly two days earlier than Liu Bei, so he can also lead the army north in advance.

A day ago, he led 100,000 troops to Pubancheng first, and after meeting Xu Huang and Deng Ai, the two armies met, and nearly 18 armies went south first.

Su Zhe knew that Liu Bei would never tolerate the loss of Puban Pass, and would soon lead his army to fight for it, and he had to push the battle line to the south as much as possible to win enough space for the rear.

When it was nearly dusk, the scouts in front came with news that Liu Bei had led more than 40,000 cavalry and was rushing forward.

Su Zhe immediately ordered the whole army to stop advancing, camp on the spot, and prepare to engage the enemy.

The camp has been completed, and the Chinese army is in the imperial tent.

"40,000 cavalry, a lot of them, it seems that Liu Bei is the cavalry family who took care of him, and this time he took them all out." Su Zhe sneered and sarcastically.

"What about the cavalry, Your Majesty, we have hook and sickle spearmen, specializing in breaking cavalry, since Liu Bei sent them to the door, we just annihilated them in one go!" Yan Liang shouted excitedly.

The generals responded one after another, all of them were full of victory, and with the experience of stepping forward, they no longer seemed to take the enemy cavalry seriously.

Su Zhe was not so impulsive, and said lightly: "Don't be too arrogant, I can tell you that Gao Boping's hook and sickle spearmen are specially made to restrain the Xiqiang iron-locked heavy armored cavalry, and they are not so restrained by other cavalry." ”

The generals' fierce self-confidence suddenly cooled down.

Wen Chou said: "Even if the hook and sickle soldiers are not very useful, we ourselves have more than 20,000 cavalry, plus more than 100,000 infantry troops, and I am afraid that he will not be able to achieve 40,000 cavalry." ”

The generals were excited again, and an aura of contempt for their opponents circulated in the tent.

At this time, Zhang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this point, Liu Bei will definitely use his last killer Ma family army, and we must not underestimate it." ”

The Ma Family Legion?

The crowd will be quiet and look at Zhang Xiu with curious eyes.

"The Ma Family Legion, could it be the cavalry of the Ma clan?" Su Zhe asked.

"Exactly." Zhang Xiu nodded.

Yan Liang said: "Isn't it the team of the Ma clan who surrendered to Liu Bei, what's the big deal." ”

Zhang Xiu said: "General Yan doesn't know, the Ma clan once ran Wuwei County, and Wuwei County is the only way to the Western Regions, the Ma family once subdued an exiled army from the Western Regions, this group of people are all blue-eyed and white-skinned, claiming to have fled from the far west, and their best skills are to use shields and javelins. ”

"So, Ma Teng and his son took this exiled army for their own use, and then absorbed and used their exotic tactics to create a unique set of cavalry tactics.

"The minister thinks that Liu Bei will only rely on the Ma family cavalry to reverse the situation at this time, and Ma Chao will definitely use the unique tactics of his Ma family army, if we are not fully prepared, I am afraid that we will be caught off guard."

Zhang Xiu's words, the audience will all show novelty, as if they are listening to a story.

Su Zhe's heart was also shaken, and from Zhang Xiu's words, he seemed to hear some doorways.

Blue-eyed and white-skinned, far western......

Su Zhe looked to the west, he knew that in the far west of the Western Regions, there were still many powerful exotic empires, such as the Kushan Empire, the Rest Empire, and the overlord of the European continent, the Roman Empire, which was so strong that it could be called the Eastern and Western Empire on a par with the former Han Empire.

Could it be that the exiled legion that the Ma family ambushed was the Roman legion that fled from the distant Roman Empire to the East?

Su Zhe couldn't imagine what kind of motivation prompted those Roman soldiers to go into exile to Wuwei County far from home.

He didn't have time to think about it, and the most important thing for him was how to defeat this Ma family army with unique tactics.

"Zhang Xiu, tell me in detail about the unique tactics of the Ma family."

At that moment, Zhang Xiu explained the tactics of the Ma family army in detail.

Zhang Xiu's tone was palpitating, it seemed that when he fought with the Ma Family Legion back then, he seemed to have suffered a lot of losses, and he was quite afraid of the Ma Family Legion.

The generals present listened and listened, the original fierce confidence in their eyes gradually fell silent, and their brows became deeper and deeper, and a look of jealousy gradually emerged.

After a while, Zhang Xiu finally finished speaking, and Xu Huang said: "If it is really as Zicong said, this Ma family army is really a hard bone, and it is not easy to deal with." ”

The atmosphere in the tent gradually calmed down.

Su Zhe took a sip of wine, his thoughts raced, he was silent, pondering the means to deal with it.

Suddenly, a playful glint flashed in his eyes, and he already had an idea.

At that moment, Su Zhe picked up the pen, repaired a book, and gave it to Hu Che'er, "Che'er, you quickly give me a trip back to Luoyang, and hand over this letter to Ma Jun immediately." ”

"No!" Hu Che'er took the letter and disappeared into the tent like a gust of wind.

All the generals were curious, thinking about what the Son of Heaven said in his letter to Ma Jun.

"Your Majesty, could it be that Ma Jun can invent any magic weapon to restrain the Ma family legion?" Deng Ai saw the clue and couldn't help asking.

Su Zhe smiled, but he didn't say anything, he only raised his glass: "You don't need to ask more, you will know for a long time, now, let's just drink." ”

On the same day, Su Zhe ordered the army to stop advancing, set up camp on the spot, and temporarily stand still.

At the same time, he also divided the cavalry corps to protect the smooth grain route from Puban Pass to Daying to ensure that it would not be robbed by the Han army.

A day later, the 40,000 Han and Qiang iron cavalry led by Liu Bei also arrived at the camp and joined the camp, and the two armies camped five miles apart.

On the day of the camp, Liu Bei led 40,000 iron cavalry out of the camp to show off his might to Su Zhe, wanting to lure Su Zhe into battle.

According to the detailed report, Liu Bei did bring the Ma family army to this trip, which made Su Zhe even more sure that Liu Bei planned to rely on the unique tactics of the Ma family army to fight him.

Even so, Su Zhe would not be fooled, and in the face of Liu Bei's provocation, he only hung up the exemption card, and the army did not move.

With the passage of time, more than 50,000 soldiers and horses also crossed the Yellow River west one after another and rushed to the camp to rendezvous.

At this time, Su Zhe's soldiers and horses entering the Guanzhong Plain had reached 230,000.

In terms of troops, the Wei army had the upper hand, which was nearly five times that of the Han army.

It's just that he was afraid of the unpredictable combat effectiveness of the Ma family army, Su Zhe didn't fight arrogantly with a large number of soldiers, and still ordered to strictly guard the camp and continue to wait.

Su Zhe can consume it, but Liu Bei can't consume it.

Originally, the Wei State attacked the Han Dynasty on a large scale, and Liu Bei was defeated in successive battles, which had caused the Han people's hearts to fluctuate and their morale was low.

Now Su Zhe was surprised, the army suddenly captured Puban Pass, and the troops entered the Guanzhong Plain, which made the people of the Han Kingdom panic.

Although Su Zhe's soldiers were still some distance away from Chang'an City, the situation in Chang'an was already turbulent, and many people had begun to move their families.

In addition, the Sanfu counties where Chang'an is located are also fluctuating, and the people have fled their homes and fled to Liangzhou further west.

In order to suppress the hearts of the turbulent people, Liu Bei had to give an order to Guan Yu and the local officials to close the city gates and prevent the soldiers from fleeing.

Relying on this tough measure, Liu Bei barely stabilized the hearts of the people in the rear.

Liu Bei knew very well that the people's hearts were only temporarily suppressed by him, and if he couldn't drive the Wei army out of the Guanzhong Plain as soon as possible, sooner or later the people's hearts would collapse.

So, Liu Bei was so anxious that he kept provoking Su Zhe day and night, and sent people to the door of Wei Ying every day to scold, trying to excite Su Zhe and induce Su Zhe to fight.

Su Zhe was not fooled, drank a little wine every day, read the military books, and regarded the scolding of the Han army outside the camp as a deaf ear, and was unmoved.

Unknowingly, this confrontation lasted for nearly 20 days.

On this day, he was finally insulted by the Han army, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to the imperial tent and asked Su Zhe to send troops.
