The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 320 Why is Renda laughing?

Hearing the congratulations from Xu Shu beside him.

Sima De, who had always had a calm expression, couldn't help but smile.

But he still coughed and said, "Victory is victory."

“But it may not be a big victory!”

"The enemy has a strong force, rich experience in battle, and elite soldiers."

"I am afraid that I can break their army formation, but I cannot destroy their military power."

"Even if we can destroy their military might, it is difficult to destroy their morale."

"If we want to pacify these Xiliang bandits, we have to look to General Xiahou."

Xu Shu nodded slowly, although he had never been in a battle.

But he understood the other person's meaning very clearly.

The so-called breaking of the enemy's army refers to the current situation where Cao's army is advancing in a massive manner.

As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the cavalry of the Xiliang rebels was defeated by the cavalry of Cao's army.

The walls of the camp were also breached by Cao's infantry in one fell swoop.

The camp was no longer a place for the rebels to survive.

Unable to form an army to fight the enemy, Zi'e could only retreat from the battlefield.

The corresponding danger in Tongguan can naturally be resolved.

The so-called destruction of their military momentum.

The Cao army took advantage of the momentum of destroying the enemy's camp and gave the enemy a heavy blow!
It dealt a very effective blow to the rebels who were retreating.

At the very least, this battle made the enemy lose all their courage and their organization was in disarray.

Even if they retreated, they could not gain a foothold in Guanzhong and were forced to flee back to Liangzhou.
As for the meaning of destroying their military morale.

They took down a group of Xiliang bandit leaders led by Han Sui and Ma Chao in one fell swoop.

He even killed all the small Qiang and Han leaders under his command!
In this way, the Xiliang troops can be protected and will not be able to gain any influence within ten years.

However, to achieve this standard.

It is not necessary to capture or kill all of them.

If Cao's army had dealt a more direct and effective blow to the rebels on the battlefield.

Either a large number of grassroots soldiers were killed or a large number of enemy backbones were captured.

This caused the rebels to lose their organizational capabilities on a large scale.

Within a few years, the troops from Xiliang were no longer able to leave Liangzhou.

That can be considered as destroying their military morale in a sense.

After all, Liangzhou is not a good place now.

Not only were there no birds laying eggs, agriculture and sericulture could not be developed at all, and wars continued year after year.

Don’t let the military leaders of these warlords, big and small, come to cause trouble in Guanzhong.

This is already the best result.

However, for Xu Shu.

He could only see these relatively superficial truths.

Someone who has known the situation in Xiliang for many years.

For example, Jia Xu, who was originally from Xiliang.

Or Xun You and Lou Gui, who had had some interactions with people from Xiliang.

But I have already made a clearer judgment in my mind.

Just take the current situation as an example.

The victory of Cao's army in this battle was so great that perhaps it was more than just the destruction of the enemy's army.

However, it would be a bit arrogant to say that we can destroy their military morale.

Instead, it destroyed their military strength and forced the Xiliang rebels to flee back to Liangzhou in panic.

On the contrary, it is a very likely outcome.

This situation was something that we had never dared to imagine when we rushed into the battle before.

If the good news reaches Prime Minister Cao in the rear.

I guess the Prime Minister would be so happy that he would get better immediately.

He stood up on the spot and praised his son-in-law for his good decision-making!

However, the final outcome will depend on the final outcome of the battle.

At this time, Sima De looked around the fields.

He seemed to be waiting for someone to show up, and then said, "Pass my order."

"The central army will move forward a few steps to observe the battle situation."

Upon hearing this, Xu Shu also nodded in agreement.

Then he rode his horse forward hastily to deliver the message.

But soon after Cao's army moved its flags and carried the imaginary ceremonial umbrella forward.

Suddenly, several scouts came on horseback to report!

As soon as he got close to Sima De, he said in a panic, sweating profusely, "My Lord! Something terrible is happening!"

"A large group of cavalry appeared fifteen miles to the north!"

"There are about 10,000 people!"

"It must be that Ma Chao who fled north has turned back again!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the central army was shocked, and then they were all surprised!

It turned out that the main force of Cao's army had dispersed from the front.

The reason why the attack on the camp was so smooth.

The main reason was that they did not encounter the nearly 10,000 cavalrymen led by Ma Chao.

It's ridiculous that the people in Xiliang started scheming against each other from the very beginning.

Han Sui and the others were eager to let Ma Chao take the lead.

He led his troops forward to resist the vanguard of Cao's army.

They bear the greatest pressure from the front.

So that they can be adequately prepared to deal with Cao's army.

But I never thought that Ma Chao was no ordinary person!

Ma Chao, who looked like a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, became ruthless.

He might as well take his men north.

Otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Zhang.

How can the task be completed so quickly?

He rushed into the allied camp when Han Sui and others were caught off guard?
The people in the central army who had learned about this in the rear.

I thought that Ma Chao saw the situation was not good and abandoned the coalition forces and fled.

Who would have thought that this guy could bypass the main force of Cao's army.

Now it has struck back.

He rushed straight to the center of Cao’s army where Sima De was!

The sinister plot of Han Sui and others.

Instead, he made himself a bait, attracting most of Cao's troops for Ma Chao.

Currently, there are only a few hundred people left in Cao's central army.

Ma Chao's troops had nearly ten thousand cavalrymen.

If we were surrounded by Ma Chao, the consequences would be disastrous!
Although Cao Cao, the real commander at the moment, is not here at all.

But since everyone present was captured by Ma Chao, there is probably no way for them to survive!

If the central army's guard of honor was captured, the morale of the main force at the front would inevitably be shaken.

The originally good situation will be gone in an instant!
The great victory in front of you may turn into a great defeat!
Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

Xun You also shouted hurriedly at this time:
"Quick! Leave this place immediately! Don't stay!"

"Now we have no choice but to join the main force ahead!"

"Only then can we escape from Ma Chao's pursuit!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the central army nodded repeatedly and was about to set off.

But then I heard Sima De suddenly burst into laughter!

Everyone was also puzzled when they saw this!
Now, even Jia Xu, who was always calm in the face of adversity, moved to Bengbu!

I couldn't help but ask, "Why is Renda laughing?"

Sima De also laughed when he heard it:
"There are so many heroes in this world!"

"I laugh at the intrigues among the Xiliang thieves, and at Han Sui's cunning old trickster."

"In the end, I was tricked by Ma Chao."

"Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi are truly great and powerful generals of the Western Qiang!"

"It seems that this person is not a man of courage but no strategy."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this!
At this time, this kid still has time to admire Ma Chao's wisdom?

Don’t you know that now is the critical moment?

Could it be that Sima De had already anticipated this situation?

And do you have any backup plan?
However, just when everyone in the central army was confused and uncertain.

Ma Chao had already led his cavalry to attack several miles away.

And Ma Chao took his troops on a long journey.

At this time, he looked at the small number of Cao army guards in front of him.

I saw one of them wearing a bright red armor and cloak.

He was riding a very recognizable horse, but his features were hard to see clearly.

For a moment, Ma Chao was not sure whether this man was Cao Cao.

But now is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I can’t care about so many things!
