Chapter 392 Zhao Zilong takes the praise
Ma Chao looked behind and thought to himself that Mi Fang had made great progress, which was a little better than before.
The Liangzhou army on Ma Chao's side was excited. As for Gao Pei, they were already dejected. When Mu Xin was killed, Gao Pei closed his eyes and thought to himself, it was over, it was all over. It seemed that he was careless, all of them were careless. He was captured by the enemy general's trick. He was really crazy!
But when he watched Mu Xin die, Gao Pei didn't dare to say anything. He put a few harsh words and didn't even dare to open the city gate to retrieve Mu Xin's body. Gao Pei hated himself for being incompetent, but what could he do? At this time, the Yizhou army or the Hanzhong army were all killed by Mu Xin's death, and their morale was indeed a big blow.
Gao Pei blamed himself fiercely, blaming himself for thinking that the enemy generals were too simple, but the result was not that bad. He was careless, but what if he regretted it at this time? Mu Xin has died, and he may not be able to avenge him. Now he doesn't dare to take back his body.
When Ma Chao saw that Mu Xin's body fell down, and Gao Pei didn't do anything, he understood everything, so he ordered the troops to withdraw.
He brought his horse forward and shouted to the top of the city: "Gao Pei, the two armies are fighting, the dead are the most important! After our army retreats, you can take away the body. We will never pursue it, don't worry!"
Gao Pei could only nodded. He also knew that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi were definitely keeping his word, and this was also considered a tacit understanding between the two sides of the war. Unless it was a deep hatred and a deep hatred in the sea of blood, otherwise the body of the deceased was taken back by the original party, and the other party would not damage it.
After Ma Chao retreated, Gao Pei ordered people to take back all Mu Xin's corpse, war horse weapons.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Ma Chao, even if the battle is about to win today, even if he is anxious, he also knows that even if the soldiers of Baozhong are under pressure today and attack with all their strength, they will not be able to break through the city defense today. Moreover, a general died in the Yizhou Army. Although their morale has declined, they hold a grudge against their own side, so both sides will never stop. Therefore, Ma Chao believes that it is not suitable for fighting again today, but only for rest and rest, and then talk about something else tomorrow.
Mi Fang killed an enemy general. He was in a good mood at this time. Although he was just a third-rate general, his efforts were not in vain. Besides, no matter how powerful he was, he might not be able to kill others, so this third-rate person is suitable for him to practice.
After retreating his troops and rushing back to the tent, Ma Chao said to Mi Fang: "Okay, I'll make a contribution today, and I'll reward you with the previous contributions!"
Mi Fang smiled. He didn't care about money, money, or anything else, but the lord's reward was a kind of honor for his subordinates, and it would be even better if he could promote himself.
Ma Chao summoned everyone to his central army tent. After everyone sat down, Ma Chao said, "Everyone, I haven't told you about anything in detail. That is the reliable news from Yizhou that Ren Qi and Jia Long's rebels have been defeated by the Yizhou army sent by Liu Junlang, so if what we expected is good, the main reinforcements of the Yizhou army will arrive in Hanzhong soon!"
When everyone heard this, they all had their own ideas. For Jia Xu, this was expected. If he delayed it for too long, it would not be his governor of Yizhou, Liu Yan and Liu Junlang. However, Jia Xu didn't say anything about this, because he had to make plans based on the specific generals sent by Liu Yan and the specific troops. He still didn't know the enemy, so it was difficult to take action.
But Zhang Fei was extremely excited. In his opinion, no matter how many people came, he would directly kill him in and out with a swing of his snake spear. Of course, he also knew that this was impossible, it was just an ideal proud idea. However, the more people he came, the more excited he was. He was still a little bit reluctant to see any powerful generals this time, so it would be even better if he could come with a few first-class martial arts generals, at least he would not be alone.
As for Zhao Yun, what he thought was that he had a place to use his skills and followed his lord to fight the world. Of course, he would go to fight against foreign races in the future. This is what he hoped most. Now that the Yizhou army has only 10,000 soldiers, it is still too few. Then there will be main reinforcements here in the future. That is really great. He also happened to want to meet the talents from Shu. I heard that one person, Zhang Ren, a famous general in Shu, also had the same name and surname as his senior brother. The teacher said that many of his senior brothers seemed to have arrived in Yizhou many years ago. I don’t know if Zhang Ren was his senior brother Zhang Ren.
Mi Fang thought it was simpler. Of course, there was a lot of pressure from reinforcements, but there would be many generals from Yizhou. If he had high martial arts skills, he would certainly not be an opponent, but he should have no problem dealing with a few third-rate martial arts skills, so he would inevitably make a lot of contributions.
If Ma Chao knew Mi Fang's thoughts, he would definitely sigh in his heart that Mi Fang was just like this. Look at his success, he could only bully the third-rate general.
Zhang Fei laughed at this time, "Lord, 'The soldiers come and the generals block the water comes and the soil comes and cover it." Our Liangzhou army has soldiers and generals, but we are afraid that the Yizhou army will be a bird!"
In Zhang Fei's opinion, his lord was just afraid of the reinforcements. How many people could come again? Liu Yan could still pull all the Yizhou army over? If he really came, that would be fine. Then he would also pull all the Liangzhou army over. Who is afraid of whom? Now he is worried that there is no place to rub his hands. Liu Yan's Yizhou army is coming to his door, hahaha!
When Jia Xu heard this, he shook his head secretly. He thought that this was not a question of whether he was afraid or not, but a matter of the overall plan to seize Hanzhong and the overall situation. So the lord had to be careful about this. However, Zhang Yide actually didn't understand this, but he didn't like to think too much, and now he is just thinking about how to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
Zhao Yunze said, "Lord, the most urgent task now is how to break Baozhong City in the shortest time. I don't know what Yun said is correct?"
Ma Chao nodded slowly, "That's right, is it that Zilong has any tricks?"
In Ma Chao's impression, Zhao Yun was a brave and a little brave, and he was a relatively strategic general. Maybe he might not have any good countermeasures.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "Yun really has some ideas at this time, but what exactly is it? Please take a look at the lord, sir and everyone!"
Jia Xu smiled and nodded at Zhao Yun. Did he know that Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong in Changshan are not only skilled in martial arts, but also very humble, and are highly valued by the lord. Although Zhao Yun came late, he got along well with other generals, at least he had no holidays. Moreover, he was upright and very standardized, and he was indeed a character.
"I said, Zilong, if you have something to say, don't hide it there, it's worrying, right?"
When he heard this tone, Zhang Fei said, and Zhang Fei could only talk to Zhao Yun like this.
Zhao Yun smiled still, so he slowly said: "Lord, now Gao Pei is guarding Baozhong, and the place is very close to Nanzheng, so can we... like this... and then..."
After hearing what Zhao Yun said, Ma Chao nodded slowly. He actually agreed with this. However, Jia Xu didn't say anything, because in his opinion, Zhao Yun's plan was half and half. But if he met Gao Pei, this method would probably be exposed. But if he met his subordinate Wu Kun, he might succeed in an instant. After all, whether a plan could be successful does require many factors, that's the case.
Ma Chao asked Jia Xu at this time, "I wonder what sir thinks Zilong said?"
Jia Xu looked at Zhao Yun, then looked at Ma Chao again, and then said, "Lord, what General Zilong said, Xu thought it was pretty good. Xu wanted to say that if it succeeds, our troops will advance to Baozhong. If they are defeated, they will just lose a little! I wonder what the lord thinks?" After that, Jia Xu smiled and looked at Ma Chao.
Ma Chao thoughtfully said, "I didn't expect to win, and I expected to lose first." It would be best if I succeed. If I win the prize, everyone will be happy. If things fail, if I lose, I will lose some money, but there is no big loss, it's just a drop in the bucket.
Ma Chao had made up his mind and said to Zhao Yun: "Okay, please Zilong for that! However, Zilong still needs to be careful!"
Zhao Yun quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Yun Ding will live up to the entrusted responsibility of the main attacker, and he will do his best! Please rest assured that lord, that's right, Yun will definitely pay attention to this matter!"
Ma Chao said happily: "That's great! Okay, since that's the case, then everyone will take a rest for a while and let's go!"
Everyone understood, so after a while, the army set off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this time, Gao Pei was holding Mu Xin's stick and was thinking about something, so he heard from the soldiers of the Yizhou Army report, "Report to the general, the Liangzhou Army is now withdrawing its camp!"
Gao Pei suddenly came back to his senses and asked, "What? Say it again!"
"No! Report to the general that the Liangzhou army is withdrawing at this time. Look at its direction, it should be heading towards Nanzheng!"
When Gao Pei heard this, he thought to himself. The Liangzhou army was preparing to withdraw its troops, but now they have the advantage. If they say that the troops were withdrawn, they would withdraw their troops? What was Ma Mengqi and the others thinking? Are they really going to attack Nanzheng and ignore Baozhong?
In Gao Pei's impression, Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are not such a person. When did Liancheng go to the army before they attacked, they directly asked the army to withdraw. What was the song?
When Gao Pei climbed up to the north gate of Baozhong again, he saw that it was not the case that the soldiers of Liangzhou were retreating.
The soldiers next to him said, "General, why don't we go to Kaicheng to pursue him!"
Gao Pei glared at him, "Why are you chasing? How could you know this is not the enemy's plan? We are here to make money and we left the city. As a result, they have already been ambushed there and waiting for us to take the bait!"
Although Gao Pei also told himself that the Liangzhou army was withdrawing. But no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was too weird. Ma Chao and Meng Qi had the advantage, why did he withdraw his troops at this time? If there was no problem here, Gao Pei would not believe it first. However, he couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that no matter what the situation was, as long as he led his troops to pursue and kill the Liangzhou army, he would definitely be killed and retreated.
Although they are retreating, it is impossible to be at all unprepared. Maybe Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi and others are waiting for themselves to take the bait. This is not impossible, so they must not pursue or go.
For Gao Pei, now it is enough to "not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes". He only hopes to wait until his lord sends the main reinforcements of the Yizhou Army to Hanzhong. As for Ma Chao who really goes to attack Nanzheng, if he can send troops, he will naturally send troops to harass him. If it doesn't work, he will bring these 20,000 soldiers and stay in Baozhong City, and love it. (To be continued.)
