The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 296
"arrogant!"

Ma Chao can't say anything about Wei Tao with words alone. After all, what Wei Tao said is true, and even he is irrefutable.

But with Ma Chao's arrogance, how can he be convinced, and he can't wait to fight Wei Tao again immediately.

But Wei Tao sneered at this time, then waved his hand and gave the order.

"Order the entire army to retreat thirty miles!"

As soon as the words fell, Wei Tao didn't wait for the order to reach the whole army, and then raised his hand to point.

"Since you want to fight with me, let's just fight this one. Our army retreats thirty miles and waits for your arrival. If you don't dare, then retreat thirty miles. I will definitely fight across the river, just the Weihe River." Mouth, why are you so obsessed with going to the inn?"

The Weihe River is indeed a favorable location, a place that military strategists must contend for, and the two armies use it to confront each other.

Strictly speaking, Wei Tao's retreat at this time is a good thing for Ma Teng and Han Sui. As long as they don't pursue them, no matter how many miles Wei Tao retreats, it has nothing to do with it.

But one or two days before, Ma Teng and Han Sui were preparing for the final battle with Wei Tao, and they even had the confidence to win. Wei Tao's actions naturally made them punch nothing.

"Your Majesty's wonderful words, the Xiliang army will definitely not dare to invade."

The same retreat, Wei Tao's suggestion is better than Chen Qun's suggestion, no wonder he couldn't help admiring at this time.

But Wei Tao just shook his head.

"Changwen, since I'm here, I never thought of retreating so easily. The so-called retreat is just to better defeat the Xiliang army."

Although he was a little disappointed with Chen Qun, Wei Tao also understood Chen Qun's thoughts. For people from such aristocratic families as Chen Qun, this kind of short-term dispute does not need to be taken too seriously. However, the disciples of the waiting family lacked that kind of momentum.

But Wei Tao is just like that, he has his strengths, and Wei Tao will not have any opinion on Chen Qun because of this.

And Chen Qun also had self-knowledge, knowing that this was not his forte, so he didn't ask too many questions at the moment, but passed on Wei Tao's order.

With Wei Tao ordering the entire army to retreat very quickly, they withdrew for thirty li in one fell swoop, giving way to the open space.

This time, Ma Teng and Han Sui were in a dilemma. If they pursued them, they would have to fight Wei Tao. If they did not pursue them, their morale would definitely be low.

At this time, neither Ma Teng nor Han Sui had the idea that everything would be fine as long as they kept Liangzhou. They all wanted to defeat Wei Tao in a single battle, so that Wei Tao could see how powerful Xiliang people are, and even thought about it. The idea of ​​counterattack.

This kind of idea is naturally not because they are suddenly arrogant, but because they have confirmed that Wei Tao's soldiers have died and injured a lot. It can be said that this time is indeed a time when Wei Tao is relatively weak.

And if there is a defeat at this time, unless Wei Tao no longer cares about foreign enemies such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei, it is impossible to transfer troops to the south, which gives Ma Teng and Han Sui a hopeful opportunity.

At this time, it was not just Ma Chao, even veterans like Ma Teng and Han Sui who were experienced, treacherous and cunning already had a feeling of being unable to restrain themselves.

Only Ma Dai, Ma Teng's son, felt that something was wrong, but he spoke to Ma Teng.

"Father, that Wei Tao is a treacherous man. He may have something to do at this time. The intention of our army is to use his hands to weaken the increasingly powerful Qiang people, and at the same time drive them out of Liangzhou, so that they will not dare to offend our land again. Now that the goal has been achieved, Wei Tao will naturally retreat when he has no way to deal with our army. So why fight with them? Just wait here."

Ma Dai's words are also considered good words, but in the current situation, as long as one of Ma Teng and Han Sui does not send troops, the other will also not send troops.

And after this battle, Ma Teng also felt that in Liangzhou, Han Sui was always a hindrance, which was too unfavorable for his Ma family, and Ma Teng also wanted to use this to suppress Han Sui's strength. mean.

After all, Yan Xing was the only one in Han Sui's army. In the confrontation with Wei Tao, the casualties were more serious, so Ma Teng's idea is not false.

It's just that even at this time, it is already an enemy with Han Sui, but it is really not a man's doing to calculate his allies in this way, and Ma Teng can't help but speak up.

"Where did so many tricks come from? There is a flat area in Liangzhou, and my Liangzhou iron cavalry is coming and going, and the number is superior. Are you afraid that Wei Tao will fail?"

Ma Chao's words immediately strengthened Ma Teng's confidence.

Compared with Ma Dai, Ma Chao has a more important position in Ma Teng's heart, and Ma Chao's words are more in line with Ma Teng's mind. Seeing this, Ma Dai has no choice but to suppress his thoughts and hope that things will not change Just like what I thought.

It is true that Wei Tao retreated for thirty miles, but he still sent people to investigate the situation in Xiliang, not only Wei Tao, but also the army of Xiliang. They sent sentries frequently, and the situation between the two sides was known to the other side. .

Under such circumstances, once one party appears weak and flees, the other party will immediately charge forward.

Seeing this, Chen Qun had to admit that fortunately Wei Tao didn't withdraw his troops with lies, otherwise he must have been known by the other party.

"My lord, if our army has just arrived and the army is in full swing, we will naturally gain the upper hand in such a confrontation, but now, even with our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat."

Although this place is not flat, but the forests on both sides are sparse, even if there are ambushes, it is impossible to have many.

Up to now, the Xiliang army has already made some moves, but no one including Chen Qun and Tai Shici knows what they are doing.

"Hehe... Does the long article know the weakness of the Xiliang army?"

Perhaps it was because he heard that Xiliang Junguo came after him directly as he wished, Wei Tao immediately smiled when he heard Chen Qun's words, but he answered without waiting for Chen Qun's answer.

"Not to mention Xiliang's strength and tyranny, it has a large number of people, so although our army can confront it, it is inevitable that we will be at a disadvantage. For this reason, our army should make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses."

"What does my lord mean?"

"Although the Qiang people are helping Xiliang, they are not of the same heart after all. Although they obey Xiliang's orders now, one of them is for wealth, and the other is Ma Chao's bravery, so I will challenge Ma Chao first to let him The reputation is ruined. One can break the enemy's vigor, and the other can subdue his heart."

"So the lord is backing down to force him to fight?"

Only then did Chen Qun understand, but Chen Qun also knew that if it was just this, Wei Tao might not be able to defeat the Xiliang Army.

At this moment, Wei Tao said slowly again.

"These days, the Xiliang army is wasting money, food and supplies. How long can it last? So after breaking its vigor, I think it is the way to cut off food? As long as the supply of food and grass is not enough, Xiliang will be in chaos. , but sometimes it may even be to let the Qiang people retaliate, and I will reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"If my lord wants to do this, it will take time and time. My lord may not be able to do it with only one person's courage."

It has to be said that although Chen Qun's thinking was lacking, he was also very careful. Even after hearing Wei Tao's confident words, he did not forget that the Xiliang army had the upper hand at this time.

"Hehe...you can tell just by reading the long text."

Wei Tao had his own plan in mind, and Wei Tao also knew that such a plan was always risky, so there was no need to say too much at this time.

Seeing Wei Tao like this, Chen Qun also didn't ask any more questions.

The Xiliang army made up their minds, and the speed was not slow. They would soon cross the Weihe River, and after setting up camp, they would be forced to come by the leader.

However, Wei Tao had already prepared for this. When he saw the Xiliang army coming, he did not hesitate, and immediately led the army to fight.

"Ma Mengqi! Aren't you going to fight me? Now I am here, you come to fight!"

"Come on!"

After challenging Wei Tao several times without success, Ma Chao had accumulated a lot of anger in his heart. Seeing Wei Tao being more provocative, he immediately became angry and wanted to fight!
But at this moment, Wei Tao ignored Ma Chao who was furious. Instead, he looked to the left and right, and then shouted loudly.

"Where are the adopted son, Gongming, and Wenchang?"

"The end is here!"

Hearing Wei Tao's shout, Tai Shici, Xu Huang, and Wei Yanqi all responded,
"Besides, I am optimistic about the generals of the enemy camp. If anyone dares to interfere with me and kill Ma Mengqi, he will be killed without mercy!"

Wei Tao's words almost meant that he didn't pay attention to the other person, but Tai Shici, Xu Huang, and Wei Yan didn't dare to neglect the slightest after hearing it, and they all responded together.

"promise!"

"Wei Tao! How dare you look down on me so much! I'm so angry!"

Ma Chao's temper is inherently impatient, and he can control his temper in normal times, but when facing Wei Tao, who once beat him by a big margin, how can he control his temper?
His eyes glared angrily, wanting to devour people.

"Wei Tao! You're taking your life!"

With a shout, Ma Chao slammed his whip vigorously, slapped the horse hard, and then charged towards Wei Tao, pointing a silver gun in his hand, wishing to kill Wei Tao and hurry up.

Xiliang Brocade Ma Chao is famous far and wide.

At the beginning of such a charge, Ma Chao, who was originally full of anger, entered a strange state, as if there was nothing in the world that he could pay attention to except his own goal.

The power of this gun, even if viewed from a distance, felt a chill in my heart.

This is Ma Chao.

"Good come!"

Seeing Ma Chao like this, Wei Tao was immediately interested, and immediately shouted violently and hit the horse straight to meet him.

Ma Chao's extraordinary level of performance also aroused Wei Tao's ambition. The weapon in his hand was displayed early, and the whole person charged with the horse, and the same mighty power was revealed, which made people look like he was rising. The trend of worship of the stock direction makes people more convinced.

But at this time, neither Ma Chao nor Wei Tao cared about the situation around them. The two only saw that the other was approaching, and they raised their weapons without hesitation and attacked fiercely!
