Chapter 1395 King Vs King Five

Amidst Mu Jing's voice, Ma Chao raised his head slightly, his eyes flickered strangely, twinkling and twinkling, especially bright under the night sky.

For a long time, he thought that Mujing valued him more because of his peerless force.

But Mu Jing's heartfelt words made him feel more recognition, not only the recognition of his force, but the recognition of his ability.

He is good on the battlefield, there is no doubt about that.

But no one has ever told him that he is the talent of a general, he will lead the army and charge forward, he will not be modest, but commanding tens of thousands of troops, dispatching in the middle, killing the enemy thousands of miles away, this ability, he Most of the time you are not confident.

"Don't doubt yourself!"

Mujing saw that he had doubts about him, and said in a calm voice: "I, Mujing, can't do many things well. Wen is not as good as the officials in the Zhengshitang, and I am not as good as the generals in the Privy Council. I can command them alone, that's because I know how to judge people, who is a talent and who is a mediocre, I understand very well in my heart!"

He paused and continued: "You, Ma Mengqi, were born in Xiliang. Xiliang and the Central Plains are desolate places. There are fierce generals out of poor mountains and bad waters. After all, they are competing for fame with the world. How can you not have a vicious spirit, and there are few Counselors are because there are not many people studying in Xiliang, and the inheritance of knowledge is insufficient. Naturally, there are few people who are good at strategy.

If it is said that in Xiliang, there are only two people who can agree with each other alone, and one is Dong Zhuo.

Everyone in the world regards Dong Zhongying as Gu's enemy, and Gu does not deny it.

However, Gu always believed that Dong Zhongying was the hero of Xiliang. Although the Xiliang army was strong, it was impossible to overthrow the Central Plains.

But Dong Zhongying forcibly made a way out. With his viciousness and ruthlessness, he led the heroes of Xiliang to advance from Xiliang to the Central Plains, and still occupied the imperial court. How incredible!

His defeat was not because of his defeat, but more because of the current situation. For example, people in the world cannot tolerate my father, a Xiangguo who was born as a bandit, and people in the world cannot tolerate him, a grand master Dong who was born in Xiliang. "

Mu Jing's words were not meant to comfort Ma Chao, nor did he have the intention to clear Dong Zhuo's name, he really thought so.

In Dong Zhuo's position.

He is the one who is really struggling every step of the way. Every step he takes is extremely dangerous. Whether it is betrayal or supporting Liu Xie, it can show Dong Zhuo's determination.

If it weren't for the fact that they were already in opposing positions at the beginning, sometimes Mu Jing would think that if their Mu family and Dong Zhuo joined forces, there might really be a chance to dominate this troubled world and suppress the ambitions of the princes of the world.

It's a pity that Dong Zhuo's ambitions are too big, and the Mu family can't tolerate Dong Zhuo. Sooner or later, they have to live together, but under the enemy's back and forth, Mu Shan missed a good opportunity, but lost his name because of a woman. Betrayed and defeated.

"And the second one!"

Mujing looked at Ma Chao: "It's you, Ma Chao. Xiliang has no shortage of strong generals, but none of them are handsome. Gu even sometimes thinks, if you, Ma Chao, were born a few years earlier and assisted Dong Zhuo, maybe your Xiliang could really become a contender." One of the world!"

"Your Majesty, what is the virtue and ability of the last general, to be so praised by Your Majesty!"

Ma Chao was somewhat flattered.

To be honest, he really didn't expect that in Mujing's heart, he would have such a high evaluation. He is handsome and talented, and it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. In the Ming army system, it seems that there is only one Zhang Wenyuan who has received Mujing's evaluation, so now Zhang Wenyuan's path has been so smooth, he has already broken away from the boundaries of commanding an army, and has even been recognized by many people in the army. In the future, he will succeed Huang Zhong and become the privy envoy of the Privy Council to command the entire Ming army.

Ma Chao never underestimated himself, but he didn't dare to overestimate himself. After all, there are so many talents in the world. In the Ming army alone, there are many people who can hang him.

In terms of martial arts, Huang Zhong can completely defeat him.

On top of the military strategy deduction, he often deduces with many people in the Privy Council, but he loses more and wins less.

He was never the best.

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

Mu Jing patted him on the shoulder and said: "Meng Qi, if you can give up what you are best at, you will have the opportunity to compete with Zhang Wenyuan, Gan Xingba and the others in the future!"

Both Zhang Liao and Gan Ning are good at commanding troops, and they are both the commanders appointed by Mujing in the future.

And Ma Chao has now joined this list.

This made Ma Chao a little excited.

He had listened to Mu Jing's words, and gave up what he was best at, that is to say, let himself not think about his powerful martial arts on the battlefield, put aside these factors, and win a battle.

"The last general must be cautious in the future, think twice before doing anything on the battlefield, and live up to the weight of the king!"

Ma Chao took a deep breath, and the low-pressure mood of facing Lu Bu without fighting was released at once, and his whole body grew soaring.

Mu Jing smiled, very satisfied with Ma Chao's attitude.

Ma Chao, the buried talent in history.

Bearing the name of a five-tiger general.

But it seems to be hidden in the snow, unlike Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's trust in Liu Bei, and also different from Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, who admire Liu Bei. His background and joining the Kingdom of Shu have already determined that there will be no chance of development.

Not so today.

Although Ma Chao has ambitions, Mu Jing clearly sees this. He has his own ambitions, but it may not necessarily be a good thing to pursue such ambitions.

Mujing has absolute confidence that Ma Chao can be held steady, and people can change. Ma Chao may be wild, but he is not invincible.

This is a sword.

A sharp sword.

Mujing doesn't want him to hide it, but hopes to show his talents and make more contributions to calm this troubled world.

……

The night became darker and darker.

The lights in the headquarters are bright, and the pace of coming in and out is very dense. The statistics after the war are the most heart-wrenching thing. At this time, Mu Jing dare not rest, and has to wait for the battle damage data.

"My lord, the casualties and war damage are coming out!"

It was almost dawn, and Zhuge Xuan walked in, clasped his hands and said.

Yan Yan was injured and now needs to recuperate. Zhuge Xuan is in charge of Nanzhou's affairs, and he is also responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. After all, after the war, all armies are exhausted.

The Divine Guard needs to rest and reorganize, and the soldiers and horses under Zhang Ren's command have suffered countless casualties.

He personally selected the soldiers and the six-door arresters, and together they cleaned up the battlefield outside.

"Say!"

Mu Jing took a deep breath, his eyes burning.

For this battle, he has already prepared for the worst.

"Our army suffered [-] casualties, of which [-] were captured by the six gates. Zhang Ren was under the command of General Zhonglang. Of the [-] soldiers, only [-] remained, and [-] were damaged in battle. The loss is nearly five hundred sons!"

Zhuge Xuan said in a low voice: "Although the casualties are heavy, it is not without results. Our army's victories are brilliant, which is rarely seen!"

"Results?"

There was no emotion on Mujing's face, he squinted his eyes: "Tell me!"

"In the west city, the guard army defeated three thousand Wei troops, beheaded most of them, and captured the rest. Less than three hundred sons escaped. On the battlefield at the North City Gate, our army defeated tens of thousands of Wei troops and killed more than one hundred Wei troops. Fifty thousand soldiers of the Wei army!"

Mu Jing was silent.

Zhuge Xuan was also silent, looking at Mujing, he couldn't understand what Mujing was thinking, but he didn't dare to act recklessly.

"This is considered a victory!"

Mujing came to a conclusion.

Judging from the mode of defending the city, this is indeed a victory, but it cannot be said to be a glorious one. After all, if the guards hadn't rushed out suddenly, Wancheng might have lost this battle.

"Soldiers who died in battle, their corpses must be pulverized, their names registered, and their ashes packed in clay pots. This is to be brought back. My soldier, who died in battle, must also go home!"

Mu Jing said in a low voice.

War means the withering of life, and death in battle is inevitable. As long as there is a battle together, regardless of victory or defeat, there will always be damage.

He's used to it.

But it is still unacceptable. Every casualty is still like a sharp knife piercing his chest, making him even have the illusion that he sent these people to the cruel battlefield to die.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will personally supervise this matter, and will never allow our soldiers to die and have no peace!" Zhuge Xuan had been Mu Jing's master book at the beginning, and he knew Mu Jing very well. Naturally, Mu Jing would not be disappointed.

"How is the movement outside the city?"

What Mu Jing asked was Ma Chao.

"The scouts have already cleared a twenty-mile radius. The Wei army has withdrawn from the attack range and is building a camp to recuperate. In a short time, there is probably no hope of attacking!"

Ma Chao said: "However, when Lu Bu went south, there was news from Jing Wusi that the army was about to enter the country!"

"As expected!"

Mujing was not surprised by this.

He said with a sneer: "Cao Mengde already has the strength to enter the country, but he is ready to wait. He has to wait for Gu to appear before he dares to enter the country with the main force. He is nothing more than worrying whether Gu will put him in an ambush!"

He is quite clear about Cao Cao's concerns.

Cao Cao's suspicion is very serious.

Moreover, there were examples of Mujing deceiving people, so it was normal for him to be wary of Mujing, and now that Mujing had shown up, he naturally couldn't wait any longer.

It is inevitable for the main force to enter the country and fight to the death.

Mu Jing also waited for a long time.

In this battle, it is said that the princes of the world are fighting against the Ming Dynasty, but the most important thing is Wei Wang Cao Cao, who is in charge of it. Defeating him is tantamount to breaking the alliance.

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "Zhang Ren's Yanyan is injured and needs to rest for a while. In Wancheng, the defense is handed over to Meng Qi. The soldiers of Zhang Ren's second army and the guards are out of the army. Outside the Shenwei battalion, all the soldiers are at your disposal, and all matters in the city are entrusted to Commander Zhuge, and the arrests of the six gates are also entrusted to you. At the juncture of the war, people must be bright and bright. Don't let the city be in turmoil and ruin us. defense!"

"promise!"

The two surrendered.

..............................

The sky is getting brighter, and a round of red sun is in the eyes of everyone, jumping out of the sea level, shining on the earth.

Mu Jing just squinted for a while.

As soon as the sun shines, he wakes up.

On the battlefield, he really didn't have much sleepiness. Even if he was sleepy sometimes, he could recharge his energy and store up his energy by squinting for a while. This was due to his vigilance.

The battlefield is always full of dangers. He dare not relax even a little bit, and he doesn't even dare to trust anyone around him absolutely, even if it is the Divine Guard.

This may be a common problem of those in power, who always remain suspicious of one thing, and always leave a backup for themselves.

He washed it, and with the help of several personal guards, he put the battle armor back on.

Although he also felt that it was very uncomfortable to wear dozens of catties on his body, he had to be careful when he was on the battlefield. Don't think that he was safe in the city. If something went wrong, he would be broken into the city in minutes. There was no time to react.

"My lord, the Second Violent Bear Army has appeared on the outskirts of Dongcheng and is marching towards Wancheng!"

Ma Chao came to report in person early in the morning.

"The Second Violent Bear Army is here?"

Mu Jing was a little puzzled: "The pressure on the Eastern Front is huge, Wenpin was able to get away, are you sure it's the Second Army?"

"Can't be wrong!"

Ma Chao said: "Jing Wusi reported the news first, and our army's scouts have checked it carefully, and it is confirmed that it is the Second Violent Bear Army!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "Whether it's the second army or not, let them station outside the city first, and the Lord will enter the city!"

Not allowing them to enter the city at this time is a precaution and a suspicion.

But Wancheng is very important.

Any doubts are worth it.

........................

Two days later.

To the north, Bowang County.

Cao Cao's main army passed by in a mighty manner, pressing down on Bowang County, horseshoes swaying, and fighting spirit neighing, overlooking Wancheng from the north.

"Mulongtu is really bold!"

Cao Cao had already received news from Wancheng at this time.

He was not angry about Cao Ren's defeat.

More for granted.

He didn't expect Cao Ren to win Wancheng, but now that Cao Ren has forced Mu Jing out, the task has already been completed ahead of schedule.

Say something that doesn't sound good.

If Cao Ren could not force Mujing out, he might not dare to enter Nanyang from Yuzhou now.

His fear of Mu Jing has reached a very serious level.

After all, he and Mu Jing have fought so many battles over the years, and they always lose more than they win. This does not make him fear this young man more than his father, Mu Shan.

However, Mu Jing dared to enter Wancheng with such a small force, which was beyond his expectation.

"Isn't he afraid that I will suddenly go south regardless of everything and kill him by surprise?"

Cao Cao sneered.

"My lord, Mulongtu has always been a risk taker. It's not the first time that he won by taking risks!" Guo Jia stood beside Cao Cao with a calm expression and said calmly.

"Humph!"

Cao Cao sneered: "Don't give Gu a chance, or Gu will make him regret it!"

Adventure is easy.

But if you often walk by the river, there is no reason not to get your shoes wet.

"Now we'd better take it step by step!" Guo Jia reminded: "Wancheng is not so easy to capture, I suggest, eat Xi'e first!"

"Sioux?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

Some are not reconciled.

He wanted to go directly to Wancheng and eat Mujing in one go.

But this is not realistic.
