The Three Kingdoms

"Bochan!"

Ma Chao wolfed down the food, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at the young man's indifferent expression, and suddenly said, "Are you still blaming me in your heart?"

This man is Ma Chao's only cousin, Ma Dai.

At the beginning, Ma Dai was captured in Wudu. Finally, because Ma Chao surrendered in Jicheng, he was also forced to surrender to the Wei army. There was occasional contact, but it was discovered in the end. For Ma Chao's sake, he was just dismissed from military power and escorted back to Luoyang.

Later, Ma Chao played and asked him to come to his side. The court relied heavily on Ma Chao's combat effectiveness, so he agreed.

But Ma Dai has always been unwilling to take up a military position, and has been serving as an ordinary personal guard by Ma Chao's side, taking care of Ma Chao's daily life.

"Blame you? Can't talk about it!"

Ma Dai shook his head and said lightly: "At the beginning, you were the king of Liang, the lord of a country. You had your considerations. Under the pressure of the Wei army, maybe you had only this choice, but now it seems that it is obvious that you made the wrong choice." !"

"Success or failure for a while is nothing, don't you believe that the Great Wei Dynasty can turn around?"

Ma Chao's pupils changed color slightly.

"How to turn over?"

Ma Dai sneered: "Brother, in my opinion, even if you win this battle and take down Bashu, Cao Wei is also at the end of his battle. Under the general trend, the situation has already become clear. Sooner or later, you will be taken by Soochow." Next, it's just a matter of time, and I doubt even more, can you win this battle?"

"What do you suspect?"

When Ma Chao heard this, his expression became slightly serious.

He knew that his brother might not be an excellent general, but he was definitely an excellent military adviser. His mind was still very delicate, and he could see things that he couldn't see.

"Brother, at this point, don't you think this battle is going too smoothly?"

Ma Dai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "All of you are counting the sky and the earth, full of thinking that you can put Wu Jun into your trap, and you are so excited that you want to besiege and kill Wu Jun. But you don't feel it, Wu Jun seems to be waiting for you all the time!"

"Nope?"

Ma Chao frowned, and said, "Bo Zhan, speak clearly!"

"Take your retreat to Bingzhou as an example. Let me ask you, when you retreated, were there any pursuers behind?"

"no!"

"Why not?"

"At Yanmen Pass, my subordinates' suspicious array should confuse Wu Jun for a while, but they can't catch up, it's normal!"

"Okay, you've succeeded in Yanmen Pass, but you're only confused about Wu Jun. As far as I know, Wu Jun is in Shangdang, Taiyuan, and can drive straight from Jizhou to Bingzhou. Why didn't Wu Jun's soldiers and horses make any moves in this regard!"

"It's a little weird!"

Ma Chao narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised his eyebrows, and said, "However, the main force of the Wu army has always been in the north. They are eyeing our Yanmen County. Now that we have suddenly withdrawn our troops, they can't tell for a while. the past!"

"Too much has been said in the past, and it is already unreasonable!"

Ma Dai said: "Brother, if I were you, I'd better be careful in this battle. If Wu Jun is deliberately planning, then their target may be you!"

"I understand!"

Ma Chao nodded, and became extremely vigilant in his heart, but it is impossible for him to retreat now: "Now the arrow is on the string, and we have to fire!"

"We may have another way!"

Ma Dai suddenly said: "Brother, my younger sister is married to Zhao Yun, you know it!"

"I know!"

Ma Chao's face was gloomy, and he sighed silently: "This is her choice. She has always had a high vision. Being able to fall in love with Zhao Zilong can be regarded as a destination. I just hope that we will not have two armies facing each other in the future!"

"Brother, maybe this is also the way out for our Ma family!"

"Bo Zhan, don't say any more!" Ma Chao's face was firm: "I've made up my mind, how can I be double-faced!"

----------------

To the north of Gushe Mountain, a hundred miles away, there is a county called Sanshui.

Martial law suddenly came into force in this county, the city gates were closed, and the people in the city were not allowed to enter or leave. From the outside, the whole city looked very quiet.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city.

"Look, we are now in Sanshui County, only more than 100 miles away from the Wei Army in Gushe Mountain. If we speed up the march, we can arrive in one day. If we maintain our combat effectiveness and march, it will take at most two days!" In front of a detailed marching map , several sturdy Xianbei generals, surrounded by a strange-looking young man in a Confucian robe.

This army is naturally the Xianbei army that quietly went south from Lingzhou.

"Pang Tong, but we only have [-] soldiers and horses, I'm afraid we can't fight against Ma Chao's [-] elite!" Ke Bineng said.

"Don't worry, I won't let your eggs hit the rocks!"

Pang Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "We want to fight, but not at this time. We don't give them a fatal blow until they are fully engaged in the battlefield. I guess they will surprise the street pavilion first. This is the battlefield!"

Pointing to the location of the street pavilion, Pang Tong added: "There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of our army here. They want to eat the soldiers and horses here. The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind them. They are mantises, so we will be the oriole." , understand?" (To be continued.)

Hanyang County.

Jicheng.

In the camp of the commander-in-chief of the third military region in the city, a group of staff officers are deducing the upcoming battles one by one, calculating the most suitable deployment of troops and horses. Zhuge Liang is sitting at the top, looking at the battle sand table, and calculating the time in his heart.

"How long has it been since Chen Dao was besieged on Mount Baitu?" He suddenly looked at the position of Mount Baitu on the combat sand table and asked.

"It's been three days!"

Fazheng quickly stood up, answered Zhuge Liang's words, and begged with his hands clasped: "Commander Zhuge, let Commander Xu Sheng send troops, otherwise our commander can't last for a few days. As far as I know, they don't have enough food and grass. If this continues No need to fight, Sima Yi can surround them to death."

"Three days? Is there any movement in the north?"

"The Ninth Army of Jieting is very calm. Long County is stationed by Cao Zhang of the Wei Army. The situation is a little unfavorable, but there is no trace of the encirclement by the Wei Army for the time being!" A military staff officer hurriedly replied

"hold on!"

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was calm, and his heart was tense like a string: "Now we are not ready to send troops, and we are still a little bit late, so we can't startle the snake!"

"What's the fire?" Fazheng's eyes were a little cloudy: "Now we know that most of the main force of the Wei army has entered our trap. It is speculated that Ma Chao's Northern Wolf Guards have also gone south from Bingzhou. Why don't they send troops!"

"Conjecture is conjecture. Who can prove it? As long as Jieting does not fight, we will not be considered successful in luring the enemy!"

Zhuge Liang said mercilessly: "We have released the bait, we must catch big fish!"
