But although they would not value Cheng Pu too much, Huang Zhong and Ma Dai would not underestimate the enemy.

At this moment, in Huang Zhong's central army tent, he and Ma Dai were talking about Linxiang City.

At this time, Huang Zhong said to Ma Dai: "Bozhan, if what you expected is good, then Han will be Duke Han Yi, and he should be in Linxiang City at this time!"

Ma Dai smiled when he heard this. In his opinion, it was the case. At least they didn't think Han Dang went to another place directly. For example, Guiyang, this was basically impossible. Not only was he and Cheng Pu both from the Jiangdong Army, but they were friends for many years and had a close relationship. He could not have come to Linxiang. So at the speed of his own march, Han Dang would still be in Linxiang and not leave. Besides, if Han Dang didn't take the initiative, would Cheng Pu drive him away?

Ma Dai said at this time: "Brother Han Sheng's words are good, but unfortunately Yide did not come. Otherwise, he could go after Han Yigong again!"

When no one else was there, Ma Dai still called Huang Zhongbiao, and Huang Zhong didn't care about this, or he actually hoped that. After Ma Dai finished speaking, he and Huang Zhong looked at each other and laughed.

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

In Ma Dai's opinion, he could still seize Linxiang, just like he was capturing Luo County. But Zhang Fei was not here, otherwise he could pursue Han Dang again like before. However, whether he could succeed was basically impossible. After all, the last time he was in Luo County, Zhang Fei failed to pursue Han Dang alone. This time he had to face Cheng Pu and Han Dang. Although he might have to chase Han Dang, the difficulty was still greater than the last time.

After resting outside Linxiang City for a day, Huang Zhong ordered Ma Dai to lead the army to attack Linxiang City.

Seeing Ma Dai attacking with Liangzhou soldiers, Cheng Pu gritted his teeth at this time. That's true. Why is this true? It's because the two of them used to be like this, but not in Changsha, but in Jiangxia. As a result, the city guarded by Cheng Pu was finally defeated by Ma Dai. From that day on, wasn't this a forging? So from that time on, Cheng Pu made up his mind to avenge his previous shame in the future, until now.

But the result was beyond his expectations. After all, he did not expect that he would face the Liangzhou army again so soon, and it was still Ma Dai who led his troops to attack the city he defended. If there was any change, it was nothing more than that Ma Chao and his subordinates were not here, and this place was not Jiangxia but Changsha. There was nothing different about the others.

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

While ordering the soldiers to shoot arrows, Cheng Yu shouted to Ma Dai who was attacking the city: "Ma Bozhan, haha, today I will let you know the power of our army! Brothers, let me go!"

After hearing Cheng Pu's shouting, Ma Dai sneered disdainfully, and then shouted to him: "Cheng Demou, have you forgotten the war in Jiangxia? When you were defeated by our army, you will still repeat the same mistakes. If you know each other, open the city and surrender early. Or leave, otherwise, hehe, it looks good to you!"

Originally, the two of them didn't mean to take advantage of themselves, but because they were old opponents, they really didn't like each other, whether it was Cheng Pu or Ma Dai.

So when Cheng Pu talked about Ma Dai, Ma Dai could not show weakness. In the end, he would naturally reject it. Otherwise, he would be at a disadvantage. And if he had the advantage, he decided to damage his morale, so this is indeed unsuccessful.

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

When Cheng Pu heard Ma Dai's words, he was furious. To be honest, he was the most taboo for others to mention the Jiangxia war in front of him. Although he could not forget it, he would not always remember it. After all, it was a shame, as long as he did not forget it. But Ma Dai directly did not give any face at all, so he talked about the Jiangxia war, so what could Cheng Pu do?

He shouted at this time: "Hmph! Ma Bozhan, don't show off your verbal benefits, let's see the truth!"

At this time, Ma Dai had already brought the soldiers of Liangzhou to Linxiang City. After hearing Cheng Pu's words, he thought to himself, "Is it okay that Cheng Demou took the initiative to provoke me?" If you don't talk nonsense, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Don't you understand this matter?

So he said disdainfully: "It's right, Cheng Demou, let's fight again with real swords and guns, better than anything else. Brothers, attack the city!"

"kill!"

"Go up, rush!"

...

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

With Ma Dai's order, the Liangzhou army launched a fierce attack on Linxiang City.

Cheng Pu shouted: "Good come, brothers, keep it for me!"

"promise!"

Although the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army were busy defending the city, they still shouted loudly at the top of the city. They said that their festival with the Liangzhou Army had indeed started since Jiangxia. Now the Liangzhou Army has occupied Jiangxia and has begun to invade Changsha again. Therefore, they also want to avenge their own revenge and cannot let the Liangzhou Army think that these people are soft persimmons, and they can pinch them as they want. Speaking of which, "The clay man has three parts of earthiness", so...

When Cheng Pu heard this, he laughed in his heart, saying, "The morale of the army is available, for a moment, what can your Liangzhou army do to me?"

"Ma Bozhan, let the horse come over, see if our army is afraid of you?"

Ma Dai, who was waiting for the ladder, snorted and shouted: "Cheng Demou, stop talking nonsense, fight!"

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

Cheng Pu shouted to the Jiangdong Army soldiers on the top of the city: "Brothers, greet me hard and smash it!"

Rolling wooden stones and rocks ran towards Ma Dai. Ma Dai thought to himself, it was a pain. As a result, he could dodge it once or twice. After that, he couldn't dodge it anymore and could only jump off the ladder truck.

For Ma Dai, he jumped off the ladder car countless times, which was already familiar with the road. However, it was obvious that Cheng Pu and the Jiangdong soldiers on the top of the city would not let him go so easily. So even if he was already on the ground, there were still rolling wood and stones hitting Ma Dai.

Ma Dai dodged a few more times. He said in his heart, "Good you Cheng Demou, you have gained skills, but now you are much better than last time." But you can't hit me while waiting for the ladder truck. Now you are already on the ground, can you still hit me?"

So Ma Dai pointed at Cheng Pu with a ring-headed knife, and then sneered at him: "Cheng Demou, your uncle Ma is standing here. Even if you are putting horses over, are you afraid of you? Hahaha!"

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

Cheng Pu shouted to Ma Dai contemptuously: "Ma Bozhan, don't be rampant, if you have the will of you, you can climb to the top of the city and fight with our army!"

Ma Dai laughed at the sound of the words: "Okay, I'm just thinking about it, look at me coming up!"

Cheng Pu waved his hand at his soldiers at the top of the city and shouted: "Hurry up, smash it for me! There are rewards for killing and wounding!"

Although Cheng Pu also knew that it was still difficult to get a leader who led his troops to attack the city to die or be injured, but he still asked his soldiers to greet Ma Dai. After all, he didn't want Ma Dai to climb the city directly. If the Liangzhou Army attacked the city on the first day and let the leader climb the city, then his side would be really inferior. If Cheng Pu was still confident and confident, at least he knew that Ma Dai would not come up today with his side's strict defense.

His Liangzhou Army has good combat power, but he is not a vegetarian. Besides, the city defenses that he has prepared are just right for use?

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

In Ma Dai's opinion, although Cheng Pu has made great progress, or the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army have become more powerful, these are obviously not something that he can pay special attention to. At least under the iron hoofs of tens of thousands of troops on his side, he did not think that Cheng Pu could defend Linxiang for many days, but was just a trapped beast to fight.

Huang Zhong, who was watching the battle behind, also a surging formation, saw his side's attack on the city. Overall, he was satisfied. He could hear Ma Dai and Cheng Pu's words, but he didn't care about it at all, and he knew in his heart that if Cheng Pu hadn't taken the initiative to provoke, Ma Dai would never have talked too much to the enemy.

Anyone who knows Ma Dai knows that he is not so talkative, but he is a smiling tiger. This is absolutely true. If you want to say who is the most insidious one among the Liangzhou army in his own country, the first recommendation is Ma Dai and Ma Bozhan. If he ranks second, no one will dare to rank first.

For this, even though Huang Zhong had just joined Ma Chao and joined the Liangzhou Army, he knew about this.

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

Not to mention the excessive number, Ma Dai still led his soldiers to attack Linxiang City at this time, while Cheng Pu still led his Jiangdong soldiers to defend and resist at the top of the city.

Cheng Pu still remembered the war in Jiangxia at that time. At that time, he thought he could perform well, but the result was actually quite disappointing. At least it was still quite different from his expectations.

Now, I think I can give the Liangzhou army some strength, so that they can also see that they are not easy to mess with or vegetarian. But I think I have made progress, but the Liangzhou army has not been on the same track. Depending on the situation, they seem to be more powerful than before.

Of course, Cheng Pu would not think that this was his own illusion. With his years of experience, this matter is indeed like this. So at this time, he had to sigh in his heart that you are making progress, and others have not regressed, but they have also made progress. If this situation continues to develop, he may not be able to avenge his shame.

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

"It is important for people to have self-knowledge." When Han Dang came to find Cheng Pu, Cheng Pu knew that the Liangzhou army was coming to attack Linxiang, he really didn't think that his side would definitely be defeated.

But now, when he really fought with the Liangzhou army, he realized that he was still a little too presumptuous. In this case, his side would not have any advantage. Isn’t that? In this situation, how do you tell yourself and how to do it? You have tried your best, but you can’t do anything to others. And it seems that they are just tentative attacks.

Just when both sides were attacking and defending fiercely, Huang Zhong had already ordered his soldiers to withdraw the troops. It was almost the same as the situation, so he naturally no longer had a fight. At this time, it was better to retreat, and the rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. Anyway, no matter how much attacks today, he still cannot take down Linxiang City.

Hearing the sound of gold, Cheng Pu was relieved, thinking that the Liangzhou army had finally retreated, and the pressure on his side would be increased.

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

Although Ma Dai was still a little unsatisfied, as the chief general, he had to obey the orders. The general had already let the soldiers sing gold, so he naturally could not fight, but retreated with his soldiers. However, before retreating, he still did not forget to shout to the city wall at the top of the city: "Cheng Demou, let you go for now, let us fight again tomorrow!"

Cheng Pu sneered when he heard this: "I will accompany you to the end!"

"Okay, that's fine, I'm afraid you won't dare!"

"What's the point!"

Speaking of this, the two of them ended up saying nothing. Ma Dai led his troops back to his side, while Cheng Pu watched Huang Zhong and the others withdraw back to the Liangzhou Army Camp.

He smashed the battlement of the city wall with his fist. Cheng Pu said to his soldiers: "Defense strictly and no mistakes are allowed!"

"promise!"

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

After finally seeing the Liangzhou Army Camp, Cheng Pu got off the city and returned home.

Cheng Pu brought his personal guards back to the prefect's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Han Dang coming towards him.

Han Dang saw Cheng Pu's expression and had known each other for many years, of course he knew Cheng Pu's thoughts. At this time, he heard him ask: "Demou, is this war unfavorable?"

Don’t look at what I said before, I would give the Liangzhou army some strength and say they would suffer any loss, but in Han Dang’s eyes, his real idea may not be his opponent. In fact, even if he was a lesson from the past, just say that, Cheng Pu’s ability must be better than him, so he did not defend the city, but it does not mean that he could not defend it either, so Han Dang never said anything discouraged, but now when he saw Cheng Pu’s expression, he felt like a mirror in his heart, which was a loss.

When Cheng Pu heard this, he sighed slightly, and then said to Han Dang: "Yi Gong, let's talk in the living room!"

After hearing this, Han Dang nodded, "Okay, go!"

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

The two of them came to the living room. After sitting down, Han Dang asked again: "Demou, I don't know what the war is going on today?"

Cheng Pu naturally did not hide it, and directly told Han Dang about the siege with the Liangzhou Army today. When Han Dang heard it, he sighed in his heart, saying that his side was still inferior to the Liangzhou Army.

This is not Han Dang's "growing others' ambitions and destroying his own prestige", but the fact is that. Cheng Pu said that he thought he had made progress, so he could fight with the Liangzhou army. But the result was that others also made progress, so they had made progress, but they had not made progress, so they still had such a big gap with others.

As for what Cheng Pu said, it was normal in Han Dang's opinion. He had not expressed his opinions much before, but he did not blindly believe in Cheng Pu. After all, he had really fought with the Liangzhou army brought by Huang Zhong this time, so he naturally knew some of their affairs. So if there were some things he was not easy to say in front of Cheng Pu. Then at this time, he could say it, at least in Han Dang's thoughts, that's what happened.

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

After Cheng Pu finished speaking, he said some of his own thoughts. Then he saw that Han Dang seemed to be thinking about everything at this time. After a while, he asked, "I don't know what the Yi Gong is thinking about?"

When Han Dang heard this, he smiled at Cheng Pu, "These are a few more words, don't you think it should be said or not?"

When Cheng Pu heard this, he frowned slightly and said bluntly: "Yi Gong said what he said. You and I have been intimately familiar with each other for nearly twenty years. We have a deep friendship, but why are we hesitant now? Could it be that we have looked down on me, Cheng Demou? "

After hearing Cheng Pu's words, Han Dang waved his hands repeatedly, then shook his head, and smiled: "What is Demou's saying? How could I do this?"

Cheng Pu said, "Then what does Yi Gong have to say but cannot say. What do you and me have to say clearly in person? Could it be that Yi Gong has any concerns?"

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

"Yi Gong has something to say, but it's okay to say it, but I don't know what I can't say?"

When Han Dang was told this by Cheng Pu, he knew that if there was, he would definitely not hide it. After all, the relationship between the two was good. If this happened again, the consequences would definitely affect the friendship between the two. And this was definitely not what Han Dang wanted to see.
