Chapter 928 Sending troops to Hanzhong
Ma Chao read the military newspaper in his hand at a glance, and this military newspaper just exhausted a messenger and three war horses.

The letter stated that without any warning, Zhang Lu suddenly assembled an army of [-] troops, appeared on the border of Tianshui County, and divided into two groups to attack the two camps of Gan Ning and Zang Ba with all their strength. , Overnight, the Ma family's [-] troops were caught off guard and fled in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the generals chosen by the Ma family were worthy of first-class famous generals. After Gan Ning and Zang Ba gathered the defeated army, instead of retreating to Tianshui County, they boosted morale and turned their guns to fight back against Zhang Lu's army.Appearing in front of Zhang Lu's army camp that was celebrating his victory like a divine soldier descending from heaven, he severely set back the spirit of Zhang Lu's army and brought the battle back to a tie.

But even so, only [-] of the Ma family's [-] troops are left—that's just the Ma family's elite who can make one into five, or even ten!

Ma Chao looked at the report in the military newspaper—beheading more than 1 people, defeating more than [-] people, and confiscating countless materials from Zhang Lu—still couldn't help sighing in his heart: Lost, still defeated!On the surface, it seems that the losses of the two teams are similar, especially Gan Ning and Zang Ba have achieved such a record after a big defeat.But Ma Chao knew that the Ma family's army could not be counted the same as other princes.

Among all the princes of the Han Dynasty, only the Ma family's army is a complete professional soldier.They do not engage in production, do not bear corvee, and even enjoy absolute care in terms of taxes.The price for this is to get the Ma family's army to be so elite and mighty as to shake the world!
But at the same time, because of this, the number of Ma's army has always been the least among the Han princes.Up to now, when the Ma family has the largest territory in the country, it only has 15 Ma family troops - such a ratio is completely unbelievable.

Therefore, the Ma family lost 2 soldiers, and Zhang Lu lost [-] soldiers and horses, which is not a concept at all.Therefore, Ma Chao knew that the Ma family had lost this battle!
However, what was even worse was that Ma Chao had no idea why he lost!

The previous reports were all about the success of the people under Zhang Lu’s rule and their hearts to the Ma family. Even the reply from the Ministry of Rites a while ago said that Zhang Lu agreed to peace talks and discussed the plan of completely surrendering to the Ma family—before that, Zhang Lu had already proposed However, because the Ma family has not agreed to Zhang Lu's request to continue to govern Hanzhong, the peace talks have been at a stalemate.

And then, after a miserable New Year, Zhang Lu seemed to finally be unable to withstand the pressure of all counties and counties under the rule and the overwhelming pressure of the people. After he put forward the only request that he could continue to teach under the rule, The two finally began to prepare for the settlement of the peace talks.

For a long time, Ma Chao has been very reassuring about Hanzhong.And Zhang Lu's posture also made Ma Chao think that Zhang Lu was only reluctant to surrender to the Ma family because he couldn't let go of the five-dou rice religion that he had grown up with one hand. In fact, in Ma Chao's opinion, the Ma family's economic blockade outside There are Yang Song's slanderous offerings, the army has [-] fine cavalry troops from the Ma family, and Zhang Lusan rebelled against the Ma family as a knife tongue. In fact, instead of surrendering to the Ma family, Zhang Lu completely betrayed the Ma family again during the critical period when the Kanto storm was brewing!

Perhaps, it was Zhang Lu who discovered Ma Chao's frame later.

Perhaps, it was Zhang Lu who was really desperate to jump over the wall and fight to the death.

Or maybe it was Zhang Lu who had been pretending to obey, and finally fought back when the Ma family was most relaxed.

But in any case, under the background of Zhang Lu's betrayal of the Ma family twice without pain, he finally pulled out the stance of fighting the Ma family without any instigation from any major force and without completely defeating the Ma family!
"What should I do?" Ma Chao's first words were like this after he sat back in his seat, and his eyes immediately fell on Xun You and Li Ru.

Xun You glanced at Ma Chao's expression, and said directly: "My lord has already made a conclusion, so why ask you?" Walking to the sand table simulation map, Xun You said again: "The Ma family has developed for many years, and it is no longer controlled by Zhang Lu. The weak princes, now the grass grows and the horses are fat, it is the time when the Ma family's cavalry reappears, the lord only needs [-] cavalry rashly, and Hanzhong will be wiped out!"

And Li Ru didn't wait for Ma Chao to ask, he also walked up to the map and pointed to Jiang Shan: "The time is right, the Kanto is surging, and the Ma family showed a low profile last year, and the heroes will not provoke the Ma family; , Looking south at Qishan Mountain, there are more shadows to find out the road to Hanzhong, and they can advance and retreat freely; Renhe, Gan Ning, and Zang Ba were defeated, but they turned the tide and their morale increased instead of diminishing. Military exploits. With the great righteousness of the Ma family in hand, and the hearts of the people in Hanzhong. With such a favorable time, place, and harmony among people, the lord’s reputation spread far and wide, and he personally led the expedition, Zhang Lu’s army will surely flee, and the battle will be won!"

Hearing what the two military staff officers said, Ma Chao's face was not very happy, but showed a bit of hesitation, hesitantly said: "As you two expected, the number of victories between the Ma family and Zhang Lu can be between seven and three?"

"The war is dangerous and fierce, and the outcome is unpredictable, but comparing the two, the Ma family has an [-]% chance of winning." Xun You lowered his head, stretched out a finger, and said, "If you can't win by a single point, Zhang Lu is a mourner. Not only is it a battle between the two factions, but it is also a life-and-death battle for Hanzhong Wudoumi. Therefore, those ghost soldiers who have been brainwashed by Zhang Lu will definitely fight with all their strength and never die."

After saying this, Xun You backed away without saying a word.

But Ma Chao couldn't help asking: "There is still a chance of success or failure, so why didn't Gongda say anything?"

"Soldiers are deceitful. There has never been a saying that they will win. The remaining [-]% is an unpredictable variable. I have not studied heaven and man, so I dare not make a judgment."

Ma Chao nodded, and couldn't help but secretly admire Xun You's caution.However, he had something on his mind after all, and under the judgment of Xun You and Li Ru, he still hadn't made up his mind.

It wasn't that Ma Chao doubted whether he could defeat Zhang Lu, but that he didn't want to really transfer the Ma family's troops to Hanzhong at this time, so as to stay away from the flames of war outside the Kanto.Even though Hanzhong at this time is like a delicious meal exuding a tempting fragrance, and there is no one who can stop the progress of the Ma family.Ma Chao also didn't want to watch the land of Kanto, the most economically prosperous and most densely populated place in the Han Dynasty, drain the vitality of the Han people in the blood flowing into rivers again and again!
He originally thought that after a grand meeting, he only needed to select some candidates from the Ma family in the city of Chang'an, and bring the Ma family's new policies and ideas of governing the people to take over Hanzhong.But now that things have developed into such a situation, his plan has been completely disrupted - he originally planned to have a showdown with the Ma family when the Ma family completely regained Hanzhong and the Kanto was in chaos!
Because at that time, Ma Chao knew that as long as he mentioned the hidden dangers of the "Five Disorders of China", the foxes of the Ma family would definitely change their tactics and easily find the weaknesses of the Kanto princes, and then send troops to the Kanto, advance slowly, and protect them step by step. The foundation of the Han nationality, unremitting efforts to unify the world!

However, Zhang Lu called at this time.Although he really didn't have any influence to support him this time, he came at a very bad time!Moreover, he also forced the Ma family to take up the challenge—if the Ma family were indifferent to Hanzhong's provocation, then what about the Ma family's momentum and dominance of the world? !

"My lord, don't worry too much. Although I don't know what my lord is worried about, I do know..." Guo Jia paused deliberately when he said this, and after seeing Ma Chao's eyes turned to him, he showed Fengshen smiled calmly: "The sooner the battle in Hanzhong ends, the more time we will have to deal with future events!"

"it is good!"

One word awakened the dreamer, and Ma Chao, who was just waking up from a dream, glanced at Guo Jia gratefully, and continued: "According to Gongda and Wenyou's words, I will personally control the army and calm down Hanzhong! Tomorrow, I will be in court In the hall, seeing the plan that has been passed, I want an army of [-] to be ready to take over Hanzhong!"

"I want this time, to completely put down the hidden dangers in Hanzhong, and there will be no more incidents of Zhang Lu's 'four rebellions' and Ma's family!"
