Ma Su returned to Majiahe and followed Confucian etiquette to worry.

Leaving the battlefield of swords and iron horses and away from the officialdom of intrigue, Ma Su was particularly peaceful. He studied and practiced martial arts every day and gained something. He was happy to tease his son Ma Guang in his spare time.

Ma Su is still a little guilty towards his son Ma Guang!

Not long after his son was born, Ma Su was going home to visit his wife and children, but because he was sent to Xiliang by Liu Bei, the delay lasted for several years.

When we met again, our son Ma Guang was over three years old and very sensible. When we met Ma Su, we called him father timidly, which made Ma Su feel mixed emotions.

He taught his son to read and read every day, and Ma Su was particularly attentive and even accompanied him to play everywhere.

But Ma Su is also a person who can't stay idle and is still very concerned about the situation in Xichuan.

Another group of his subordinates followed him to leave the army and secretly inquire about the news. Ma Su was also very familiar with Liu Bei's current situation.

He knew that Zhang He had been attacking Badong and the second counties of Baxi, but he did not intend to occupy it for a long time, but migrated the local people to Hanzhong.

Zhang He's actions stumped Huang Quan, who was defending the city, and also confused Liu Bei, who was unknown. He didn't know what Cao Cao wanted to do, so he was reluctant to take countermeasures.

Huang Quan was very passive, but he guarded several major cities, and these counties were not lost.

Although Ma Su can help, he cannot get involved.

He was hesitating whether to send someone to find Huang Quan and let the spies lurking in Zhang He's army convey information to him.

Once Zhang He has his action plan and with Huang Quan's ability and plan in advance, he will still be sure to defeat Zhang He.

But Ma Su and Huang Quan had no friendship, were not familiar with each other, and there was no need to talk about mutual trust.

These spies sent by Ma Su cost a lot of money, but they were not abandoned, but they had to use the idea.

If you risk exposure, you can pass on information to Huang Quan.

Huang Quan was skeptical, delayed the opportunity to fight and could not play his due role, and even brought inexplicable trouble to Ma Su. After weighing the pros and cons, Ma Su decided not to use these secret chess for the time being.

Ma Su had thought of handing over these lists of secret chess to Liu Bei directly.

But as a superior, Liu Bei must be very sensitive to the fact that his subordinates have spies. If he might do it well, he will backfire. Not only will he be useless, but he is also afraid of Liu Bei. If he wants to be reused in the future, it will be more difficult.

At this moment, news came that Liu Bei sent General Zhang Fei, the general of the expedition, to be the prefect of Baxi County, to fight against Zhang He.

Zhang Fei and Ma Su had an extraordinary relationship. The two had worked together forever, and he trusted Ma Su very much.

Before going to the war, Zhang Fei had already sent someone to Xiangyang to ask Ma Su for advice. Ma Su recommended Wu Deng, the centurion who Zhang Fei was very familiar with, to serve as the scout leader.

Zhang Fei looked reckless, but he knew it. He knew that Ma Su's move must have profound meaning, so he handed over the work of inquiring about military information to Wu Deng to be fully responsible.

The so-called "the name of a person, the shadow of a tree" was said to have led 10,000 elite troops to come, but Zhang He did not dare to be careless and his attack on Baxi County was temporarily suspended.

Zhang He did not want to lose the first move, but he occupied three dangerous passes, built a village and hoarded military supplies. He could attack and defend when he retreated.

Cao Cao left Zhang He with only 10,000 elite troops. Later, he incorporated thousands of Liu Xiongming's men, and selected some elite troops from Zhang Lu's defeated army. In addition to the strong men drawn from the immigrants, he formed an army of 30,000 people, and then launched a large attack.

Zhang He was cautious in using his troops. He stationed 10,000 troops in Dangqu Village, Mengtou Village and Dangshi Village. Every time he went to the expedition, he would divide his troops from three passes and half of them were left to guard the village. Huang Quan had no high martial arts skills and had no advantageous troops, so he had no way to do anything.

After Zhang Fei arrived, Zhang He personally stationed in Dangqu Village to prepare to welcome Zhang Fei's attack.

However, Zhang Fei did not send troops to attack Dangqu Village. He refused for more than fifty days. Zhang He felt that Zhang Fei seemed to be no different from Huang Quan and was also guarding the city.

Zhang He couldn't hold back any more and decided to send troops to test Zhang Fei.

According to the old rules, Zhang He still sent 5,000 people from each of the three camps to prepare to go to Baxi County to plunder the population.

With Wu Deng's information, Zhang Fei had already known his plan before Zhang He sent troops and quickly discussed with his deputy general Lei Tong.

Lei Tong is an old general of Liu Zhang, a fellow villager with Huang Quan, and a native of Langzhong County, Baxi County. He is very familiar with the local terrain, and his martial arts skills are not bad, and he is also very steady. He was recommended by Fa Zheng to Zhang Fei as a deputy general.

Before Zhang He's troops were dispatched, Zhang Fei expected Zhang He's movements. Lei Tong was secretly surprised, of course he was a little confused, but he still offered his advice:

"Langzhong is dangerous and can be ambushed. The general can lead troops to fight head-on. I lead troops to ambush and ambush, and then send surprise troops to help. Zhang He will be defeated."

This time Zhang Fei came to fight Zhang He, but there were not many people, only 10,000 troops, but they were all elite.

With the five thousand troops left by Huang Quan, the troops were only half of Zhang He's.

Zhang Fei originally wanted to take the initiative to attack, but was persuaded by Lei Tong, so he fought with Zhang He.

After hearing Lei Tong's plan, Zhang Fei thought it was feasible, so he sent five thousand elite troops to Lei Tong to ambush. He led five thousand troops to fight Zhang He himself.

After leaving Langzhong City and walking less than fifty miles, Zhang Fei and Zhang He met the two armies.

The two armies set up their formation. When Zhang Fei saw that his troops were at a disadvantage, he was very confident in his martial arts, so he adopted the method of fighting generals and took the opportunity to defeat Zhang He alone.

Zhang He is also famous for his courage and his defensive ability is particularly outstanding, so he naturally does not want to be outdone and fights Zhang Fei with his gun and horse.

After more than twenty rounds of battle, Zhang He was a little timid and knew that there was no possibility of victory. He was about to issue a melee order to give full play to his military advantage and defeat Zhang Fei.

Suddenly, a riot came from Zhang He's rear army. The soldiers saw Shu soldiers flags behind the mountain, which were the Thunder Tong Wei's army.

When Zhang He saw that he was not good at fighting, he was attacked from the front and back, so he dared not fight and drove back and prepared to retreat.

Zhang Fei finally met an opponent, so he naturally would not let Zhang He retreat calmly and his army blocked his troops from behind.

Lei Tong led his troops down the mountain, and he was above his height, with great momentum. He attacked with two attacks and Zhang He's army was defeated.

Zhang He led the defeated army to retreat to Dangqu Village. Zhang Fei and Lei Tong chased after him overnight and rushed to the foot of Dangqu Mountain.

Zhang He lost more than a thousand men and knew that Zhang Fei was powerful, so he still divided his troops to defend the three camps, set up more wooden cannon stones, and insisted on not fighting.

Zhang Fei set up a camp ten miles away from Dangqu Village and prepared to attack Zhang He's camp.

Zhang Fei was warlike. He fought with Zhang He for dozens of rounds yesterday, but was not satisfied. Early the next morning, he personally led his troops to the foot of the mountain and defeated Zhang He alone.

Zhang He knew that Zhang Fei would not win, so he naturally would not fight him one-on-one again. He wanted to use a trick to stimulate Zhang Fei to attack the camp. He used the rolling stone wood to consume his troops, and might even hurt Zhang Fei.

So, Zhang He did not go down the mountain to fight, but instead brags on the mountain, holds a banquet and drinks, and makes the soldiers yell at Zhang Fei in every possible way.

Zhang Fei was also angry, but he was very rational. His troops were at a disadvantage. He did not want to attack Zhanzhai and lose a large amount of troops, so he ordered the soldiers to curse Zhang He's soldiers on the mountain.

When Zhang He saw that Zhang Fei did not attack the mountain village, he still kept his door and did not dare to fight. The sergeants who were scolding were always lacking confidence and were gradually suppressed by Zhang Fei's soldiers.

The morale of Zhang He's army dropped a lot, but Zhang He felt that he had no chance of winning, so he still couldn't stand it.
