In the end, this war, military strategy is actually a deception art. As a general, the battle formations are actually the most basic. An excellent general tests the grasp of the enemy's mentality when fighting.

Jiang Wei was just starting out and defeated Guan Xing as soon as he made a move. He was at the age of showing his sharpness. Ma Chao came from this age, and he was excellent at that time. He naturally had a correct understanding of Jiang Wei's mentality. So from the beginning, he deliberately loosened the formation, which made Jiang Wei feel disdainful and was more likely to be deceived out of the city.

Once he leaves the city, the West City will be broken. Now Ma Chao wants to see Jiang Wei's ability.

Ma Chao, who is over 50 years old, does not look old. Apart from the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, if you don't look closely, you will look like a man in his forties, giving people a strong sense of aggression between his eyebrows.

When I heard rumors about Ma Chao in the early years, I almost always said that he was brave but not resourceful, but at this moment, Jiang Wei, who was easily deceived out of the city by Ma Chao, felt a little ashamed. He knew very well that the reason he left the city was not because of Ma Dai's previous words. The real reason was because the Han army was slack, and he had the idea of ​​using Ma Chao as a stepping stone in his heart, and wanted to defeat Ma Chao in one fell swoop.

But the facts have proved that in this era, how could a person who can make such a great reputation be simple? Jiang Wei didn't know what the person who gave Ma Chao a comment at the beginning thought? Just a formation, would the person who easily tricked himself out of the city be brave but not a resourceful? Or would he be too stupid?

At this moment, looking at Ma Chao's extremely aggressive smile, Jiang Wei was a little suspicious of life.

But at this moment, he could not tolerate any more thinking. He took a deep breath, slowly raised the silver spear in his hand, pointed at Ma Chao and said, "Please!"

"Okay!" Ma Chao laughed loudly and rode out, and Jiang Wei rushed towards Ma Chao at the same time.

The two riders approached quickly on the battlefield, but Ma Chao's two-meter-meter-long spear was not mainly stabbed like an ordinary spear. The moment he approached, he had already swung it and smashed it down at Jiang Wei, so Jiang Wei had to raise his gun to pat him.

"Bang~"

With the violent clash, Jiang Wei took Ma Chao's shot, but his arms were a little numb. After all, he was not the kind of power-type general, and Ma Chao was not. However, in this pure power competition, Jiang Wei was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. Not just strength, but Ma Chao had taken the lead and took the initiative from the beginning. He could only passively fight at Ma Chao's rhythm. This head-on fight was not just a comparison of strength. Ma Chao had accumulated enough strength to smash it, but Jiang Wei had to change his moves in the middle. In addition, his strength was a little less than Ma Chao, and he was completely suppressed by Ma Chao from all aspects.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Ma Chao took the initiative without realizing it.

"Huh~" The moment the horse passed by, the wind sounded loudly behind him. Jiang Wei felt something was wrong and quickly lay on the back of the horse. The strong wind sounded over his head made him tinnitus, and his helmet was swept away by this shot, and his hair was fluttering in the wind.

Jiang Wei quickly took advantage of the situation to jump away from the horse and adjust his mentality, looking at Ma Chao who also turned his head with a serious face. The opponent was very strong, but it was not just martial arts, but also the mentality of being invincible to me, momentum, and even the grasp of the timing and control of the enemy's mentality.

It's a terrible enemy!

Jiang Wei had a clear understanding of Ma Chao in his heart, and did not dare to underestimate him at all. He cheered up and abandoned the fear in his heart, shouted loudly, and took the initiative to face Ma Chao.

The two of them fought back and forth for more than 30 rounds, but Jiang Wei became more and more brave. The feeling of fear in his heart gradually dissipated as the two continued to fight, and replaced by a courage transformed from fear. Although he was defeated, he no longer feared Ma Chao in terms of momentum, and even felt eager to try it out.

"Interesting!" Ma Chao naturally noticed Jiang Wei's condition. This kid actually used himself as a whetstone! It's a craftsman!

He was now leaping with his gun and jumping into the horse, and his spear was wide open and closed. Although he had passed his peak period, he had been honing his martial arts in the school ground built by Liu Yi over the years. Not only did he not regress, but he even had a vague trend of going up to the next level. After another 50 rounds, Jiang Wei gradually lost to the enemy, and his moves gradually became messy. Ma Chao withdrew some strength and asked loudly: "The heavenly soldiers have arrived, and you have no luck, why not surrender early!?"

"Don't think about it!" Jiang Wei gritted his teeth, knowing that he was defeated and dared not fight. After forcing Ma Chao back with all his might, he turned his head and ran around the city.

"Little guy, it's interesting!" Ma Chao did not pursue, and directly ordered the soldiers to step forward and defeat the troops led by Jiang Wei and captured them. As for Jiang Wei, where can he escape?

Ma Chao ordered people to report to Pang Tong, hoping that Pang Tong could try to surrender this person. It would be a pity if such a young talent died on the battlefield!

...

On the other hand, Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang each led 5,000 troops and horses to capture Shangji and Ji County. When Ma Zunde heard the news, he was shocked. Now there are only two thousand troops left in Shangji County. How to defend? He hurriedly ordered people to inform Jiang Wei of returning to the army. The news of Jiang Wei's victory gave them some confidence, but now the Han army immediately sent troops to attack, which made them feel a little panicked.

It is naturally impossible for the news of the fall of Xicheng to come immediately, and they still put their hope on Jiang Wei.

"The west city is seventy miles away. It takes two days to arrive when you come and go. The emperor of the palace can first avoid the enemy's edge and retreat to Ji County. He asks the wealthy families in the city to send troops to help, and at the same time, he orders Bo to make an appointment to return to help quickly!" Yin Shang looked at Ma Zun and bowed.

"Okay, okay!" Ma Zun had no idea at this moment. He had only two thousand soldiers and horses in his hand. Even if he borrowed some from the rich, he could only barely gather 3,000 people. He dared not fight with the Han army. At that time, he took everyone and took away the men and horses that Shangji could take away and went to Ji County.

Shangqi City was taken down by Zhang Bao's soldiers without bloodshed, and Zhang Bao immediately ordered someone to pass on a letter to Zhang Fei to report the victory.

...

"Notify Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang to postpone the siege!" After seizing two cities in a row, Pang Tong immediately ordered someone to send an order after receiving the news from Ma Chao and Zhang Bao.

"Shi Yuan, why is this?" Zhang Fei looked at Pang Tong in confusion.

"General, let's take a look." Pang Tong handed Ma Chao's letter to Zhang Fei and said with a smile.

Zhang Fei received a letter, looked carefully, and then looked at Pang Tong for a long time and said, "This Jiang Wei is really so powerful?"

Zhang Fei knew about Ma Chao's martial arts. The two of them had often played over the years. Zhang Fei is now over 60 years old. No matter how hard he doesn't accept his old age, he knows his own health. Now, if he really fights with Ma Chao, he will probably not be able to fight. Jiang Wei can fight Ma Chao for 180 times, and this kid's martial arts skills are a bit high!

"It's probably not weak, otherwise with General Meng Qi's arrogance, he wouldn't have a love for talent!" Pang Tong nodded with a smile.

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "But he is a general of Wei, who is willing to surrender?"

Pang Tong smiled and said, "Let me ask someone to spread the news. Yan Xicheng has been presented to our army by Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei has surrendered. Leave the rest to Ma Zun!"

Zhang Fei thought about it, looked at Pang Tong, shook his head and said, "This is a bit too disgraceful."

"Will the general do it?" Pang Tong asked back.

"Do, why not?" Zhang Fei stood up and said, "You will do this."

"Here!" Pang Tong smiled slightly and went to send a message, asking Zhao Guang and Zhang Bao to temporarily postpone the siege, and asked Ma Chao to send a few Wei soldiers from his family in Xi County, and put them back to Ji County to deliver the message.

Then after waiting for another three days, Zhang Bao and Zhao Guang were ordered to go to Ji County to encircle.

...

"Bang!" Ma Zun was so angry that he slapped the table and cursed: "I don't expect Jiang Wei to be such a villain! I misjudged him!"

Because Jiang Wei went to Shangqi first but was entangled by Zhang Bao, he was unable to arrive in Ji County before these defeated troops, so Ma Zun received news about the defeated troops in Xicheng.

Yin Shang frowned and said, "Is there any deception in this? Boyue is open-minded by nature, not such a villain!"

Ma Zun was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he felt that Jiang Wei's mother was in Ji County and it was unlikely that she would surrender. However, Jiang Wei turned against him at the moment.

"Mr. I will never lie, otherwise the West City will be defeated, and Jiang Wei should have come back before I wait, so why should I come back first?" A defeated army who came back quickly said.

Ma Zun nodded after hearing this, narrowed his eyes and said, "No matter what, report this matter to the court first, and the court will make a decision!"

Yin Shang sighed, but Liang Qian, who was standing beside him, looked at Ma Zun and said, "Mr. Now the Han army is coming, with its momentum. Our army is only 3,000 troops. Whether Jiang Wei surrenders or not, it is difficult for us to defend Tianshui. Besides, we are originally ministers of the Han Dynasty. Because Cao's thief is powerful, we have to commit ourselves to the thief! Now that the Han army is coming, why should we fight for Cao's thief to death?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Zun was a little moved and turned his head to look at Liang Xu and Yin Shang: "What do you think?"

Liang Xu touched his beard and thought, "If this is the case, why not let Jiang Wei make the decision?"

"What does this mean?" Ma Zun said in confusion.

"If Jiang Wei surrendered to the Han army first, we would have to surrender only by coercion. The victory or defeat of the Han and Wei battles is unpredictable. If we surrender and the Han army is defeated, we will also have an explanation to Cao in the future. If the Han army wins, we will naturally have no worries. But if the Wei army wins in the end, it will be Jiang Wei surrender, and we will be in control!" Liang Xu said with a smile.

Anyway, no matter which side wins in the end, they will be fine. The Han army wins, they surrender, the Han army loses, and Cao Wei fights back. That is Jiang Wei's fault. They are just forced to do anything to them. Cao Wei can't do anything to them because of this.
