Chapter 698 Conflict
In fact, Matthew was fine. He just fainted because he was too nervous before and suddenly relaxed now, plus the security guard was injured and lost blood.

When Ma Chao comforted Ma Xiu and turned around to meet the reinforcements, Diao Yue'e, Xue Jinlian, Li Yan and others had already entered the city.

"Haha, Zhengfang, and these two sisters, I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with, so I'm late, I hope you'll forgive me for being late." Seeing Diao Yue'e and Xue Jinlian looking a little cold, Ma Chao laughed, haha said.

Li Yan hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute, then pointed at Diao Yue'e with a face of shame and said: "This is Diao Yue'e, the chief general of our army, and this is Xue Jinlian, who is the supervisor of the army. How dare a lieutenant general be placed in front of the two top peaks?"

Ma Chao asked strangely: "Brother, what's the matter with you? Don't you usually act as the pioneer? Why did you become a lieutenant general today, and the opponent is still..."

"Is it still a woman?" Diao Yue'e glanced at Ma Chao and said with some dissatisfaction: "It's because I'm a woman that you deliberately didn't come to welcome me? That's right, you are the dignified governor of the Anxi Metropolitan Government. Commander, even today's prime ministers have to bow and salute when they meet, naturally I, a small fourth-rank military officer, won't be seen by your Governor Ma."

Diao Yue'e didn't know Ma Chao before, so naturally there was no grievance. Just now when she saw Ma Chao's extraordinary martial arts skills on the battlefield, even she might not be able to beat her. One, such martial arts are indeed qualified."

However, just as Diao Yuee was about to say something of admiration when Ma Chao greeted her, unexpectedly Ma Chao ignored him and returned directly to the city. discriminate against yourself.

"Even though you, Ma Chao, are much higher in rank than I, Diao Yue'e, after all, I, Diao Yue'e, represent the emperor's order, and I helped you out of the siege as soon as I made a move. No matter what, I should greet you in person, but you not only refused to greet me, but also said After saying something like that, no matter how good-tempered I am, Diao Yue'e, I absolutely cannot tolerate such contempt from others, let alone my temper has always been bad."

It was precisely because of this that Diao Yue'e said such words indifferently. This was the result of her best efforts to restrain herself. If she had done it before, she might not have walked away.

Ma Chao didn't expect that the other party was just a fourth-rank Zhechong Commander-in-Chief of Zhongfu, who was one level lower than Li Yan in terms of official position. He actually spoke to him in such a tone. He immediately said displeasedly: "General Diao, Ma said It's just a fact. Brother Li Yan has always been the vanguard in the past. This time for some reason, he became the deputy general. I just asked, as a high-ranking general in this town, can I continue to do so? Don't you have the qualifications to ask? As for you saying that I am not welcome to greet you, this is also a misunderstanding. I am too lazy to explain to you. In fact, with your official status, I don't have to come to greet you. The reason why now I came here just for Brother Li Yan’s sake.”

"So that's how it is, the governor of Ma Dadu is so powerful!" Diao Yue'e sneered and said loudly: "Although the last general is a woman, he also went to battle to kill the enemy, not much worse than you men, just ask Li Yan, Why would he be willing to be our lieutenant general? He was defeated by the last general because he couldn’t make it three times. That’s why His Majesty asked him to give up the position of vanguard officer to the last general and become the lieutenant himself. However, since Governor Ma You are not welcome, and there is no need for the general to live in your city with a faceless face, the general will lead his troops and horses to station outside the city."

After speaking, Diao Yue'e immediately ordered that the whole army leave the city immediately and set up camp outside the city.

At this time, Xue Jinlian and Li Yan saw that the matter was getting serious, and they tried to persuade each other, but Diao Yue'e couldn't bear Ma Chao's domineering, and Ma Chao was very angry at Diao Yue'e's behavior of so boldly contradicting the superior, and did not accept their persuasion.

"Brother Zhengfang, you came at the right time. Don't leave tonight. Let's catch up with me. Let's stay in the camp tonight without getting drunk." Seeing that Diao Yue'e was about to leave, Ma Chao didn't care at all, but pulled Li Yan's hand. Hand, said with a smile: "I really wronged you, you actually want to cheat to lose to a woman, you have to tell me, whose relationship is this? It makes you feel scared."

Ma Chao's meaning is obvious, saying that Diao Yue'e did not win Li Yan with real skills, but only relied on the relationship of others to suppress Li Yan, so that Li Yan did not dare to do anything, so he could only let the water go.

Diao Yue'e couldn't understand Ma Chao's meaning, and snorted immediately: "Li Yan, you are a lieutenant general in our army. If you dare to disobey orders and stay out at night, I wonder if the general will punish you by military law?"

This remark made Ma Chao even more annoyed, and he said loudly: "Zhengfang, I am the supreme military commander here, and I have the final say here. If I tell you to stay, you will stay. Let's see who dares to touch a single hair of your hair?"

But Li Yan smiled wryly, and said to Ma Chao: "Thank you, Governor Ma, for your kindness, but the last general belongs to General Diao, and he dare not leave his post without permission. , the last general must make a good apology to General Ma. In addition, so that the governor of Ma knew that the last general was not a fraudulent defeat, but General Diao did have such martial arts, and just before the two armies, General Diao only Killed a general under Li Yuanhao's command with one move, according to the general, that person's martial arts is not inferior to the general."

"Okay, since you don't give me face like this, I have nothing to say." Seeing Li Yan's refusal, Ma Chao knew that he couldn't make things difficult for Diao Yue'e, so he couldn't let out a sigh of relief, and said with a gloomy face: "General Diao, this is a big deal." You don't want to enter the city, it's not that I won't let you in, when your majesty asks, don't make a small report, hmph, even if you do, I'm not afraid, your majesty is my brother-in-law, what can you do to me?"

Diao Yue'e ignored him, but led the army out of the city, secretly deciding in her heart that she must fight a good battle, so that the arrogant and domineering Ma Chao would look at her with admiration.

And that night, in Li Yuanhao's camp, a literati named Xue Yuanli said to Li Yuanhao: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord."

Li Yuanhao frowned and said: "On the battlefield today, our army lost two generals, and nearly 3000 people died under his command. How happy is it?"

Xue Yuanli chuckled and said, "For this news, the loss of two generals and 3000 casualties is nothing, because the king can have the opportunity to capture and kill Ma Chao and make a great contribution!"

"Oh? Let's hear it?" Li Yuanhao's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked hastily.

"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't know something. After our army withdrew today, in Cangsong City, Ma Chao and the generals of the Han army who came to support him had a conflict. Tomorrow, we only need to do this to defeat Ma Chao. Ma Chao is gone. , how can we defend Cangsong City with just two female generals?"

Next, Xue Yuanli said something in Li Yuanhao's ear. Li Yuanhao laughed loudly and said to Xue Yuanli: "Yuanli, this is really a good idea. If this plan is sold, I will definitely reward him heavily." !”
