At the celebration banquet, Zhang Fei and Chen Da both drank happily. Kou Feng also drank some wine with him, but he managed to control the amount of alcohol.Finally just slightly drunk.

Taishou Mansion of Mei County, inside the study.

Kou Feng, General Pang Tong of the Left Army Division, Zhang Song, Lu Su, and Deng Ai, General Yokoye, were seated.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the study is completely different from the celebration banquet in the hall just now.Not only is there no joy, but it is rather dull.

"Now, our army from Xiegu Road has met our expectations. We took down Mei County and wiped out a group of cavalry in the north. The next step is to look at the upper valley."

After a long time, Kou Feng smiled and said.

"At this moment, I am afraid that Han Sui has sent his army to save Jincheng. At that time, Generals Fazheng and Zhao Yun will be able to defeat Han Sui like Generals Zhang Fei and Chen Da. In this way, it is equivalent to It cut off most of the cavalry in the north." Pang Tong said with a smile.

At the beginning, Kou Feng's troops were divided into two groups, except for the fact that Cao Hong joined the war too early and needed to divide his troops.Another point is that I want to use the continuous crossbow and the continuous crossbow bed to carry out a second attack on the northern cavalry.

Ten thousand continuous crossbowmen and three thousand continuous crossbow beds piled up together can only hit the cavalry once.For the second time, the cavalry knew that there was such a weapon in the Chu army, so they would be cautious.

I dare not attack the Chu army's infantry who are in formation.In this way, the Liannu and Liannu beds of the Chu army can only achieve greater results in one fight.

This is a big loss.

Therefore, on the one hand, Kou Feng went out in person to block the northern cavalry in Mei County.On the other hand, Kou Feng dispatched Fazheng and Zhao Yun to attack Jincheng.

Encourage the other cavalry stationed in Xiangyang to rescue, so that Fazheng can lay down his position and attack the rescue cavalry.

This is Kou Feng's plan to kill two birds with one stone.

However, this requires a very close cooperation.For example, Kou Feng fought Ma Chao in Mei County.At this time, the news of Zhao Yun's attack on Jincheng had to be known to Han Sui.

Han Sui hurriedly led his troops back to aid without receiving Ma Chao's defeat and not knowing how Ma Chao was defeated.

In this way, the whole plan can be carried out as usual, otherwise, it will not work.

Good idea, but difficult.

"The whole view is filial piety and straightness." Kou Feng said, but he pinned all his hopes on Fazheng.

…………… North, inside Xianyang city.

Since Ma Chao's expedition, the security of the whole city has been slightly relaxed.Before they found Chu Jun, they were tense.After discovering it, and dispatched a hundred thousand troops, even if they couldn't overcome it, they could stop the Chu army.

This is what the upper-class people in Xianyang City think.

Even Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Yao and others are no exception.

At this moment, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Zhong Yao, Yan Xing and others were sitting in the hall of the Marquis of Qin Mansion, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

"If it goes well, General Ma and General Cao may have defeated the vanguard of the Chu army by this time." Yan Xing said with a smile.

"If it goes well." Ma Teng nodded and smiled when he heard the words.

The courage of his son Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, and Ma Teng, as Lao Tzu, knows it well.And Cao Hong is also a brave and good fighter. He has been in Tongguan for many years, and Ma Teng has fought countless times with him, so he knows it well.

Two great generals, plus one hundred thousand cavalry.Isn't it easy to deal with small pioneers?Even if they encounter the main army of Chu State, they will be able to retreat unscathed.

It's enviable.When Ma Teng was talking to Yan Xing, Han Sui couldn't help feeling a little envious.Although he has Yan Xing as his son-in-law, he can compete with Ma Chao.

But after all, he is only half a son, unlike Ma Chao who is Ma Teng's biological son.

"Now is not the time to talk about this matter, after all, the news has not yet come. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there may not be no changes." Immediately, Ma Teng said again.

Although Ma Teng said so, everyone could see that Ma Teng was trying to cover up.

"That's right. Qin State and Liang State are already at war with the Chu army. I don't know if Wei Gong is interested in sending [-] troops to completely eat up this Chu army?"

Ma Teng turned to Zhong Yao again and said.

"Eat all the Northern Expeditionary Army? Shoucheng really has a good appetite." Han Sui exclaimed when he heard the words, but it is undeniable that his heart was moved.

There is a saying that only a thousand days can be a thief, but there is no one who can guard against a thief for a thousand days.

Now Qin State and Liang State are in the position of guarding against thieves, while Chu State is the thieves.They built various defense systems in every possible way to guard against sudden attacks by the Chu army.

However, the Chu army is in danger of waiting for work with ease, and they can come out whenever they want.If you don't hurt Chu Jun, it's really hard to feel at ease.

If you can continue to unite with Cao Cao to mobilize the army, you don't need much.Fifty thousand tigers and leopards are enough to ride.Enough to wipe out all the Chu army.

"To deal with an ambitious person like Kou Feng, you can't have a big appetite." Ma Teng took it for granted when he heard the words, and then turned his head to ask Zhong Yao: "Sir, I don't know what's going on with Wei Gong?"

Zhong Yao was also moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "It is already the limit to let General Cao Hong go out. After all, Chu State still has Huang Zhong in Yangzhou, and Xu Shu in Wancheng. They are not easy to provoke. Without the help of the cavalry, Xu Shu will definitely send troops to attack Xu Du, if so, it will be difficult."

This is the current state of Wei's helplessness, the initiative is in the hands of Kou Feng.There is no internal pressure, disputes, strong military power, and even stronger economic power.

It is too easy to send troops.

"Alas." Ma Teng and Han Suiben's hearts were burning, and when they heard the words, it was like being poured with cold water, and all the fires were extinguished, and they sighed.

"Report, Jincheng urgent report."

At this moment, the guard outside the door shouted.

"Golden City?"

The complexions of Han Sui, Ma Teng, and Zhong Yao all changed, among which Han Sui was the most ugly.

Could it be that Jincheng also had a problem.Han Sui was shocked and terrified.

Jincheng is his lair.

"Come in." Han Sui said loudly without any delay.

"No." The guard outside the door promised, and immediately walked in, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand.

Han Sui got up and walked over, took it from the guard's hand, opened it, and his expression changed wildly.

"What's the matter?" Zhong Yao was shocked and asked quickly.

"A large army is haunting Jincheng." Han Sui said with a grim expression.

"what?"

Zhong Yao and Ma Teng lost their voices together.

Obviously the news is that Kou Feng personally led the army to Hanzhong, so how could there be an army to attack Jincheng?

"Divide the troops?" Zhong Yao hesitated, this is a bit unlikely.Because when the cavalry has no advantage, it is very disadvantageous for the Chu army to divide its troops.

Easily broken individually.

But judging from Jincheng's urgent report, it is very possible to divide the troops.

"How many people are there?" Zhong Yao asked immediately.

"No less than one hundred thousand." Han Sui said sadly.His Jincheng defenders are only more than [-], and none of them are elite.Facing an army of one hundred thousand.I feel shivering just thinking about it.

"The general returns to help immediately." Zhong Yao said decisively.This time, Ma Teng had no objection, nodded and said: "Come back and keep in touch."

"Take care." The lair was breached, and there was nothing left.At this moment, Han Sui was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, without being pretentious at all, he nodded and left immediately.

Soon after, Han Sui left Yan Xing to command [-] infantry, and he ordered [-] cavalry himself.Went back to help Jincheng.

At the same time, the Yellow River area in the south of Xianyang.Ma Chao and Cao Hong rest here.Their spies covered a radius of about fifty miles.

It is quite safe, so Ma Chao ordered to rest.

It's impossible not to rest. After the battle not long ago, the morale of the army was extremely low, and the physical strength was almost exhausted.Anyway, those who had to wait for the ferry, just sat down to eat some dry food and drink some water, so that the soldiers could recover a little strength.

Ma Chao and Cao Hong sat next to each other under a big tree.

Ma Chao's armor, which had been slashed twice, was removed, and the wound was bandaged.His face looked a little pale.Cao Hong's armor didn't follow, but his thigh was also bandaged.

Because there was no armor protection, the wound on the thigh was relatively deep.There was still some blood oozing from the bandaged place.To walk, had to limp.

Two high-spirited generals, one injured and one lame.Of the [-] troops, only [-] to [-] remain, and most of them are terrified.

It was as miserable as it really was.In Ma Chao's heart, it's not a good feeling either.

Leaning against the big tree, he said to Cao Hong, "It's all thanks to the general that I can barely retreat this time." Ma Chao raised his fist to show respect.

This is entirely from the heart.Cao Hong's act of stepping forward just now made him believe in Wei Guo even more.It also made the Qin and Wei countries more trustful.

They lost this war.This is the only catch.Ma Chao believes that as long as the two countries can cooperate more closely, it will not be difficult to make a comeback and defeat Chu.

"The three families form an alliance and become brothers to each other. That's what it should be." Cao Hong shook his head when he heard the words. Immediately, Cao Hong didn't want to fuss about this topic, let alone show any expression of saving Ma Chao's life.

That will damage the relationship between both parties.

Cao Hong smiled wryly, and said, "We failed this time, and I don't know how to explain to the two lords and Mr. Zhong."

"Oh, the cavalry who are three or four times the size of the infantry was defeated by the infantry. It's shameful." Ma Chao also sighed when he heard this, his face was hot.

"However, it's not without a little gain." Immediately, Ma Chao said again.

"Oh?" Cao Hong was a little surprised when he heard this.

"The Chu army has such a magical weapon, we didn't know it. But now we know it, and we will never give the Chu army such a chance next time. This is also a kind of harvest, although the price paid is a bit higher " Ma Chao said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this is also a harvest." Cao Hong was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded in agreement.

In fact, this is not a blessing in disguise.It was a real loss, but getting a little information was also a psychological comfort.

The two disabled generals can only enjoy themselves while suffering.
