Some time ago, Ma Chao and Gan Ning had one or two conflicts, and if Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were not pulling on the side, I was afraid that they would have already fought. Since then, Gan Ning has been very hostile to Ma Chao and has been-for-tat everywhere. It's just that Ma Chao's personality is strong, and he is also young and vigorous, so he definitely can't stand Gan Ning's cynicism, so once the two meet, it's like meeting an enemy.

Not only that, Ma Chao also didn't get along well with Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wu Yi, Wen Ping and others, and even the temporary commander Zhang Liao felt a headache for Ma Chao.

Ma Chaoping is meritorious and arrogant, and the tens of thousands of elite Liangzhou soldiers he brought are only under his orders, so he has no fear.

Fortunately, Zhang Liao was smart, and on the second day after the army gathered in Dianchi, he divided the various troops into different areas, otherwise, they would have already fought themselves before Meng Shu and others attacked.

As Ma Chao's confidant, Pang De knows all the situations very well, Ma Chao has always been a loner, and he also goes his own way in Liangzhou, and has developed a stinky problem, plus he is strong in force, pretentious, and never puts anyone in his eyes, which also creates his unruly and unruly character.

This kind of character may not have any problem in the eyes of the Qiang people, and Ma Chao himself is also worshiped by the Qiang people, but in the eyes of the Han people, they will think that Ma Chao is an uneducated character and is not easy to be restrained.

If he is in front of Yanwang Zhang Yan, Ma Chao may be more restrained, but in front of others, Ma Chao will show his character to the fullest, as if he is the first in the world.

Pound did not get angry when he heard Gan Ning's questioning. In fact. Ma Chao did not get sick. Being sick is just an excuse, just a pretext, Ma Chao is not sick, but very healthy. It's just that Ma Chao didn't want to come to meet these people, these people were more hostile to him, and he didn't come because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear the kind of behavior that people looked down upon. I'm afraid that I won't be able to control myself and fight.

"General Gan, it is precisely because my general went out hunting yesterday and did not come back until after dark, that he was exposed to the cold and got the wind cold, and now he is still lying on the couch." Pound replied to Gan Ning's question very tactfully.

Gan Ning still wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but he didn't want Zhang Liao to take the lead and interrupt what he was about to say, only to hear Zhang Liao say: "Since General Ma is unwell, let's recuperate in the barracks." Wait until General Ma recovers from his illness. I have just received news that Meng Huo's army has moved. The vanguard of 50,000 troops is forcibly crossing the water. The enemy's goal is obvious, that is, to come to a decisive battle with our army, and at this time, I hope that all the officers and men can cheer up, forget the unpleasantness of the past, and cooperate sincerely. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Liao stopped his gaze on Pang De's body, and said slowly: "General Pang, since General Ma is sick, it seems that he can't lead the troops to battle, and at the time of crisis, I hope you can provoke the big beam and replace General Ma to lead all the Liangzhou soldiers into battle to kill the enemy!" ”

"Whoa!" Pound holds his fists.

Zhang Liao continued: "Meng Huo has gathered more than 300,000 troops in the area of Ailao Mountain, this is a force to be reckoned with, if we can't completely defeat Meng Huo's army, then Nanzhong will no longer be owned by the Han Dynasty in the future." Although the strength of our army is small, but it is excellent, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, I hope that after you go back, you will mobilize all the troops, and fight with Meng Huo, no matter what, you must win, otherwise, what face will we have to face the world? ”

After Zhang Liao's words were finished, everyone present was in high spirits, and they all shouted out bold words, which were bound to completely wipe out the rebel army led by Meng Shu.

The meeting did not last long, this meeting was only a mobilization meeting before the battle, and the most important thing was that Zhang Liao had not yet received the holy decree, and he could not give orders justifiably.

After Pang De went back, he told Ma Chao about today's meeting, and learned it to Ma Chao word by word.

Ma Chao held the wine glass alone, drank the stuffy wine, and after listening to what Pang De said, he directly slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "Gan Ning is too deceitful!" ”

"The general is angry!" Pound hurriedly persuaded.

Ma Chao said: "People have put their hands on my face, and they are about to beat me, how can you let me calm my anger?" And Zhang Liao, why does he command my army? I have made meritorious contributions to Pingshu and killed Zhang Fei, and I have a lot of credit, but I dare not issue the holy decree that can be rewarded, otherwise how can I be bullied by them? ”

Pang De comforted: "The general has a great credit, the regent must know it, but this is far away from Pengcheng, and it is snowing in the north, but the Shu Road is difficult to walk, in my guess, the holy decree must have been issued, but it has not arrived here, the general just needs to wait patiently." Nowadays, Zhang Liao's official position is still the largest, and it stands to reason that the general should still listen to his dispatch, so the general please be calm for a while, and when the holy decree arrives here, the general will no longer have to suffer from this kind of wretchedness. ”

Ma Chao listened to Pang De's persuasion, but his heart was much better, and he simply stopped asking. But this time against Meng Huo's war, he didn't want to participate, and said to Pang De: "Since the battle in Shu, the 100,000 troops I brought have been split up, and now there are only 30,000 troops in my hands, and 25,000 of these 30,000 people are Qiang people, all of whom are carefully selected by me, and they are also the elite of the elite, I wanted to take this opportunity to establish a greater feat, but now it seems that I am afraid that there is no such opportunity." Since outsiders know that I am sick, then you will fight in my place, but I will only give you 5,000 men, and I will only be responsible for cooperating with them in battle, but you can't kill thieves desperately, and when the war is over, how many people I will give you, how many people will you bring back! Do you understand? ”

Pound has followed Ma Chao for many years, what Ma Chao thinks psychologically, he knows very well, after listening to Ma Chao say this, Pound immediately asked: "General, isn't this good?" ”

"You know what? I'm preserving my strength! Sooner or later, I will have to return to Liangzhou, and if I have no soldiers under my command, who will be afraid of me? What's more, the Qiang people have followed me on an expedition, and so far they have not gained any benefits, in case so many people have died in the battle. After returning to Liangzhou. It's no wonder they don't complain! How can the Qiang people be willing to fight for me in the future? Wait until I return to Liangzhou. Don't let anyone try to spread wild on my head! Ma Chao said.

Pound De didn't say much, he had already deeply felt Ma Chao's innermost thoughts, but he couldn't dissuade him, because he knew Ma Chao, once he decided something, even ten cows couldn't pull it back. Now, he can only take one step at a time to see what the future will look like. He can't predict it now. But he has an ominous premonition in his heart, Ma Chao continues to do his own thing, but he is afraid that in the near future, there will be no place for him in the world.

……

On the bank of the Fushui River, countless Yi people landed on the shore one after another in boats, Meng You rode a horse and stood on a high place to look at the entire Fushui, on both sides of the river bank were his subordinates, dense, and could not see the edge at a glance.

This is an army of 50,000 people, mainly Yi people. There were also a small number of Southern Barbarians, and Meng You was the commander of this army. Now he is on a secret mission given to him by his brother Meng Shu.

As early as ten days ago, Meng Shu had already assembled all the troops, and also sent scouts to Dianchi to inquire about intelligence, and when he learned that there were 130,000 troops stationed in Dianchi County, Meng Huo also lamented the speed of the Han army's assembly. Not only that, but the scouts returned, the Han army was well-equipped, led by Zhang Liao, the general of the Han chariot cavalry, and his subordinates also included Ma Chao, Gan Ning, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Pang De, Wen Ping, Wu Yi and other fierce generals, which can be described as elite generals.

These news surprised Meng Shu, who did not expect the Han army's army to be so sophisticated. In addition, Meng Shu also unexpectedly obtained the news that Zhang Fei, who occupied Yizhou, had been killed, his forces had all collapsed, and Yizhou was once again under the rule of the Han army.

For this reason, Meng Shu gathered his generals and discussed together how to deal with this situation, and the army had been assembled, just like the bow and arrow had been wound, and it had reached the point where it had to be sent. If Meng Huo is disbanded, then he will lose face in Nanzhong in the future, and he will no longer have any prestige at all.

After some heated discussions, Meng finally decided to fight another big battle with the Han army. However, this time the big battle was different from the last time, he learned from the defeat of the last war, although the number of Han troops was small, but it was very sophisticated, although his own troops were large, but they were all a group of rabble, the most people who could really fight for him were 100,000 people, and the rest were all made up.

Meng Shu is the most aware of his strength, so he changed the strategy of the war this time, because the Yi people are not good at attacking the city, and the Han people are curled up in the city and do not come out, so he decided to lure the snake out of the hole, lure the Han army to the wilderness to fight, and then lure the enemy deeper, set up an ambush, and use the local terrain to ambush the Han army.

Meng You was sent by Meng Huo to carry out this kind of task, and the army he led said that there were 50,000 people, but they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the purpose was to lure the enemy out of the city for a decisive battle.

Along with Meng You to carry out this mission, there is also Meng You's confidant Wu Zhu Gu, no matter how Meng You is also Meng Shu's own brother, Meng You can't bear to let this younger brother have any mistakes, so he sent Wu Tu Gu to lead five hundred barbarians to defend to ensure that Meng You can safely evacuate the battlefield.

Meng You saw that the army crossing the river was so slow, sighed heavily, and said to himself: "Even if you lure the enemy army and give me such a soldier, it is too conspicuous, right, the Han army is not a fool, can you not see it?" ”

After hearing this, the vulture on the side said comfortingly: "Three generals, the king must have a reason for arranging it like this." You can rest assured that as long as I accompany you, you can be sure that you are safe and sound. ”

After Meng You heard the words of the vulture bone, he put some heart upside down in his heart, this time the vulture bone brought the most powerful five hundred brute soldiers in his tribe, and they were also wearing the most famous rattan armor in the Ugo tribe, which was invulnerable. This time, Meng You was also fortunate to get a rattan armor, which he wore on his body, covered with clothes, and did not see any clues at all, with the protection of the vulture bone and the rattan armor, what else was Meng You afraid of.

"The order goes down, and after an hour, all of them must be landed, otherwise, they will be killed!" Seeing such a slow speed, Meng You finally couldn't help it in his heart, so he roared out. (To be continued.) )
