Chapter 622 Zhang Liao vs Pound
Cheng Gongying's face was calm, and he shook his head and bowed his hand to speak.
"General Ma was furious. At present, Beigong Jiyu is preparing troops and horses for the Xiqiang tribe. In order to cope with the war in Xiliang, Beigong Jiyu has been strict with the tribes not to leave the tribe without permission. Therefore, it can be seen that this can never be done by Qiang people.
If Cheng's guess is correct, it is likely that Wen Buffan made his soldiers and horses disguised as Qiang people, hurt the king of Hanyang, and then blamed the Qiang people. The purpose is to make you become a saint and be angry with us, with the idea of absolute harmony. In this way, Wen Bfan can go to war with us without hesitation.
"What a poisonous means! This extraordinary behavior has always been aboveboard, and I didn't expect him to be a sinister and cunning person!"
Ma Chao immediately reacted to Cheng Gongying's reminder. Cheng Gongying saw it and secretly said that the Ma lion was still too immature. At present, it is the autumn of troubled times. If you want to keep your body, it is inevitable to have an intrigue, not to mention the struggle between forces?
General Ma, it seems impossible to rely on the court to delay the war. Fortunately, Cheng made another plan before. Yesterday, Beigong Jiyu sent someone to send an urgent report that Ke Pa Wushui, the king of Beiqiang, had promised to send troops to work together. Three days ago, 100,000 Beiqiang troops had set out from Beiqiang and marched to the extraordinary hinterland and the state. Bingzhou was in chaos, and Wen Fan was caught off guard. In this way, it was a good time for our army to attack!"
As soon as Cheng Gongying's voice fell, Ma Chao's lion's eyes suddenly widened, and his whole body suddenly increased and soared. He asked urgently.
"Military division, the implication is that our Xiliang army can march into Guangwei and fight to the death with Wen Bofan!"
Cheng Gongying's eyes were shining brightly, and he said with a restrained voice.
"With the help of a series of policies and other policies, and with the joint assistance of rich families in various counties, except for Wuwei and Zhangye, the two counties are slightly unstable. The hearts of the people of Tianshui, Nan'an, Longxi and Jincheng have been determined, and in these four counties, the major rich families have aroused the resistance of the people of their own hometown, and because General Ma opened the granary to help the people. The people's popularity has increased a lot with policies such as reducing taxes. The current situation is the time to raise troops.
However, the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye have been a major conscription in recent years, so the people's grievances are the highest. Before raising troops, General Ma needs to be more wary of the people of these two counties. It is better to subsidize tens of thousands of loads of food to calm the hearts of the people.
With Cheng Gongying's analysis, Ma Chao's face was first overjoyed, and then frowned.
"Military division, the grain warehouse has been opened in the past, and the grain and grass in the army has been very reserved. If you draw another ten thousand loads of grain and grass, I'm afraid it can maintain the battle with Wenfan. Once there is a shortage of food and fodder, the army will be in chaos. The present battle is related to the whole Liangzhou. How can we divide the grain and grass and fall to the root of defeat!"
"General Ma, Bingzhou is in chaos. With the current momentum of 160,000 troops in Xiliang, he will definitely be able to defeat 80,000 soldiers and horses in February and drive them out of Liangzhou. With the current grain reserves in the army, even if it is divided into ten thousand burdens, it can last for more than three months. The two counties, Wuwei and Zhangye, are the hinterland of Liangzhou. If there is a rebellion, we are fighting against the Wen Bufan army on the front line. How can we be invincible?
Cheng Gongying bowed his hand and meditated. Ma Chao's face kept changing. He didn't know the truth in Cheng Gongying's words, but he not only wanted to shoot Wen Han's army out of Liangzhou, but also wanted to take advantage of the victory and capture the whole Yongzhou!
Ma Chao was silent, and Cheng Gongying seemed to see Ma Chao's thoughts and persuaded him again.
"Bingzhou is in chaos, and there is no doubt that Wen Bofan will be defeated in Liangzhou. He has been severely damaged by these two times. Within three years, it is impossible to restore the general trend. General Ma wanted to map Yongzhou for three years. General Ma, if you want to achieve great achievements, why do you need to be in a hurry for a while?
Cheng Gongying said, and Ma Chao squinted at the lion in an instant. Cheng Gongying's eyes were really poisonous. In front of him, Ma Chao seemed to have no place to hide.
At the same time, Ma Teng's words of the past rose in Ma Chao's mind again. Coincidentally, Ma Teng also advised Ma Chao not to rush for quick success and soon, and gave Liangzhou time to recover. Even at that time, Ma Teng suggested that Ma Chao would be ten years!
Ma Chao's brain is electric, and it's better to decide to follow Cheng Gongying's advice first.
"The advice of the military division is very reasonable. According to the military division, another 10,000 taels of grain and grass will be given to subsidize the two counties of Wuwei and Zhangye!"
"General Ma is deeply aware of justice, which is really a blessing for the people of Liangzhou!"
Cheng Gongying bowed deeply and was slightly comforted by Ma Chao's obedient attitude towards him. Ma Chao is still young. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Cheng Gongying was quite worried before. Ma Chao lacked experience, did not know the danger, and did things recklessly. However, at present, although Ma Chao is young, he has been the wind of the Lord several times.
After discussing for a while, Cheng Gongying and Ma Chao decided on the urgent matters at present. After that, Cheng Gongying retreated and began to make arrangements. In addition to the 40,000 Qiang soldiers of Jiyu in Beigong, the 140,000 troops were assembled earlier than Didao, and the heavy and armaments had already been prepared.
The matter of raising troops in Guangwei was finalized, and the Xiliang army immediately became turbulent. Ma Chao sent his general Pang De, from his brother Ma Dai to lead 60,000 as the vanguard, and also ordered Nan'an and Tianshui Taishou to prepare food and fodder for supply.
Pang De and Ma Dai led their army 60,000 all the way. Five days later, they rushed to Guangwei Pingxiang. Pingxiang was guarded by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao ordered the soldiers to fly to Wenhan, while leading the army to reject the enemy and array in the wild. Ma Dai, the pioneer of the front of Xiliangzhou, led an army of 15,000, which was vast and full of mountains and fields.
Ma Dai used a treasure knife, rode the horse out of the battle, and ordered the general to answer. Zhang Liao mentioned the square sky painting halberd, the horse was like the wind, and he answered.
"Zhang Wenyuan is here. What kind of Xiaoxiao are you? Hurry up and report your name!"
Zhang Liao waved the square sky painting halberd, and his body was domineering. He was a sergeant Weihexi Liang. As soon as Ma Dai heard Zhang Liao's name, his heart jumped secretly. Zhang Liao fought in the north and shocked Xi Liang. The famous generals of Xiliang who died under him were all famous, including Yan Xing, the first warrior of Xiliang.
"Someone is Lieutenant Wuping under the command of Ma Zhengxi, Ma Dai, Ma Bozhan! Zhang Wenyuan dares to fight!"
Although Ma Dai had a lingering palpit, how could he retreat in front of the army at this time? Ma Dai took a step forward and shouted loudly. Zhang Liaohu's eyes condensed and did not answer, but his mount rushed up.
The peerless weapon Fang Tianhua halberd, cut into the air and flew, and Zhang Liao suddenly killed Ma Dai like a wind and fire. Ma Dai hurriedly picked up the treasure knife, and with a violent sound, his arms suddenly soared.
Zhang Liao was slightly surprised. Although Ma Dai was young, his strength was amazing. If he was an ordinary first-class general, he would not be the enemy of this son. However, what kind of character Zhang Liao is? Fang Tianhua's halberd suddenly pressed him and immediately pressed Ma Daibao's knife. Ma Dai quickly tilted his body and avoided the square sky painting halberd.
Ma Dai narrowly avoided it. As soon as he collected the knife and got up, he didn't know that Zhang Liao was anxious to draw a halberd, and the painting halberd swept from behind. Ma Dai broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly raised the knife to block it. With a bang, Ma Daihu's mouth cracked, and the treasure knife in his hand almost got rid of his hand. Zhang Liao smiled coldly, and Fang Tian's painting halberd kept dancing, killing five consecutive strikes in an instant. Ma Dai resisted and was killed by Zhang Liao with no power to fight back.
After five consecutive strikes, Ma Dai knew that he was not Zhang Liao's enemy and wanted to escape. However, Zhang Liao will not do as Ma Dai's wish. Fang Tian painted the halberd continued to attack. Ma Dai resisted and paid attention to the timing. Seeing that Zhang Liao was splitting a halberd, Ma Dai played the horse's head, hurriedly picked up a knife and took advantage of the opportunity to escape.
"Little horse, it's not a good man who escaped!"
Zhang Liao laughed and scolded later, and Ma Dai just saved his life and fled into the battle. Seeing this, Zhang Liao urgently ordered the soldiers to attack. Xiliang's army was in chaos and fled in a hurry. Zhang Liao led the army to chase and kill the Ma Dai army five miles away, captured countless armor and horses, and temporarily withdrew the army.
Ma Dai was defeated for a while, broke three thousand soldiers and horses, and the front army was blocked by Zhang Liao. Ma Dai was impatient at the time when soldiers came to report, and Pound led 45,000 troops to arrive. Ma Dai hurriedly greeted Pang De and said that he would be defeated in the first day. As soon as Pound heard it, Ma Dai's opponent was Zhang Wenyuan, and his eyes trembled.
It can be seen that Ma Dai's martial arts skills are only as high as those of Ma Chao and Pound De among the generals under Ma Teng's command. Half a year ago, Ma Dai also stepped into the ranks of super martial artists and realized the power killing move. However, Ma Dai is still young, and his potential is not as amazing as Ma Chao. How can he be Zhang Liao's opponent who kills Yan Xing?
"Don't worry, let's fight with me tomorrow. If I can win Zhang Wenyuan, you are at ease. If I can only be equal to him, you can help at the right time. If you and I join hands, we will be able to defeat this man!"
For Zhang Liao, Pound did not dare to ask for it. After ordering with Ma Dai, he was preparing for tomorrow's battle. Tomorrow afternoon, Pang De and Ma Dai led nearly 60,000 troops to Zhang Liaozhai. Zhang Liao knew that he was not afraid, so he led tens of thousands of people to attack and resist the enemy.
Before Pound patted the horse and flew out of the battle, the lion's head machete was raised, pointing to Zhang Liao, who was wearing rotten silver armor, and shouted loudly.
"I am under the command of General Zhengxi, and Pang Lingming is the general of Yiwu! Zhang Wenyuan dare to fight or not!"
Zhang Liao saw Pang De's red face and beautiful bead, tiger's back and bear's waist, which was quite similar to Guan Gong. He immediately thought of Pang Lingming, the heroic general who tried to save Ma Teng from Ma Teng in the net laid by Li You in Xinping.
And when Pang De's voice fell, and Zhang Liao learned that it was this person, the tiger's eyes burst into anger and his fighting spirit rose violently. At that moment, he went out and shouted.
"Why don't you dare! Pang Lingming, look at me, Zhang Wenyuan, take your head!"
Zhang Liao's horse halberd went straight to Pound, and Pound also rode a horse to fly and danced a knife to greet him. At the same time, Ma Dai rushed out and was not far behind Pound.
Between the electric light and fire, the square halberd and the lion-headed machete collided with each other. Zhang Liao's face changed, and he said with great strength. Pang Deyi frowned and was shocked.
Fang Tian's halberd and the lion's head machete almost twitched at the same time, as if it turned into a thunderous movie, hitting each other quickly, and violent sparks splashed up one after another. Zhang Liao and Pound danced their weapons closely and played nearly 20 rounds in an instant.
Zhang Liaohu's eyes gathered light, as if he was playing extremely happily. The faster the move, the more fierce the move. Pang De was the same. His fighting spirit was shocking, and he tried his best to suppress Zhang Liao. The two killed each other, and all the spectators at the place marveled at their high martial arts skills.
It's twenty years old again.
Suddenly, Zhang Liao's momentum was violent, and his whole body seemed to burst out a strong bloody atmosphere, as if people could see a bloody place full of corpses. Pang De's face changed, and Zhang Liao's momentum broke out, making him feel as if he had returned to the battlefield where he fought with Lv Fengxian, the 'unparalleled general', two years ago.
