Ma Su thought for a while, changed his angle, and replied cryptically: "Master Yadan, I wonder if you have ever heard of a Chinese saying: Since ancient times, evil cannot defeat good."
"I heard it!"
Imperial Master Yadan nodded, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "When I first heard this sentence, I was still very young. At that time, I only felt that Chinese culture was profound and profound, and that one sentence could tell the truth of the world. Now as I get older,
As I get older, I feel more and more that this sentence is so right."
"Because once evil defeats righteousness, it is no longer evil. The other party is evil and righteous."
"That's right!" Ma Di said with a smile: "Master, you have realized it!"
Imperial Master Yadan nodded his thanks, turned around, led thousands of Qiang people out of the city, and strode away.
Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng, who were following Ma Su to see him off, looked at each other, both confused.
They failed to understand the previous confusion between Ma Su and Imperial Master Yadan.
But that's not important.
The important thing is that the general is on his way!
Zhang Xiu raised his hands and said, "General, it's time to set off!"
Damn... Ma Su's heart trembled and he almost peed his pants.
To be honest, he had already formed a conditioned reflex to this sentence, and the frightening scene of "people waiting at a street pavilion, waiting to die" appeared in front of him involuntarily.
Fortunately, although the opponent is still Zhang He, this place is not a street pavilion, and he is not the timid Ma Su of the past.
This time he was well prepared.
Knowing that Zhang He would set up an ambush in front of him, if he couldn't defeat the opponent again, Ma Su thought that he could just buy a piece of tofu and kill him.
Going to Bencheng will definitely be in his pocket!
He wanted to defeat Zhang He head-on, rectify the name of the Shu Han army, and rectify his own name.
It proves that there is still one person in the Shu Han Dynasty below Prime Minister Zhuge who is not afraid of Zhang He.
This person is his Ma Di!
Looking at Ma Su, whose face was full of strong confidence, Li Sheng came closer and said with cupped hands: "General, that Zhang He is now the number one general in the Wei Kingdom. He is so famous that no one in the world knows about it. When will you become my great man...
…Who is Prime Minister Zhuge’s number one general?”
Ma Su laughed, endured it for a while, and finally said with great enthusiasm: "What time?"
"That must be today!"
"Set off!"
Ma Su thought about it and decided that this cup must be filled.
Not only does it feel good after pretending, it can also boost morale.
Like to fill cups, this is also a common problem among all generals in this era.
There is no way, this is what soldiers of this era do.
The more boastful the boss is, the more secure they will feel and the higher their morale will be.
Of course, this bragging is a technical job, and there is a certain range that must be followed. As long as it is within this range, the greater the bragging, the better the effect.
For example, Guan Yu's sentence: "I look at this person as if he was inserting a bid to sell Seoul!" The effect was very good, and he became famous all of a sudden.
The negative teaching material is Cao Cao's sentence: "Now that I have an army of millions, I can cut off the flow of a river by throwing a whip. I hope you will not make any mistakes. Come and join me quickly, and you will hunt in Jiangxia."
This sentence was so exaggerated that it made a joke.
Not to mention millions of soldiers and horses throwing whips to cut off the Yangtze River, even if tens of billions of soldiers and horses throw whips, they still can't cut off the Yangtze River.
Sun Quan was so frightened by these words that he laughed under the table and strengthened his determination to raise an army to resist Cao Cao.
It can be seen that bragging is a technical job.
If you blow well, the red buff will increase your body; if you blow badly, the debuff will kill you!
After leaving the city, Ma Su looked around and said in a deep voice: "Li Sheng listens to the order. I order you to lead a thousand men and horses, under my banner, and go west along Pandao Mountain. You can only travel ten miles every day. On the way, you see the Wei army killing people."
Come, return to the city immediately."
"Zhang Xiu, lead the rest of the troops and follow me northward!"
"Set off!"
Li Sheng received the order and immediately suppressed his position and moved slowly westward along the road.
As more than a thousand soldiers passed by, ants died everywhere on the ground, and their corpses were enough to circle Lueyang City three times.
Ma Di personally led 4,000 men and horses, racing against time and speed, passing through Weixian County and detouring to the outside of the city, and then divided his troops into two groups.
The whole group was led by Zhang Xiu and hid in the mountains and forests outside Xiabian City. He personally commanded the whole group and marched to the rear of Zhang He's ambush site. They first dug ditches and ravines on the road and built roadblocks, and then set up an ambush in the mountains.
During this period, Xu Shen followed Zhuge Liang's military orders and caught up with the army, but before he could speak, he was tied up, gagged, and thrown on horseback to follow the army.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In Xiabian City, Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, was sitting in his mansion, reading a book. Suddenly, he saw a soldier with blood on his face coming to report that General Zhang He's army was trapped in the narrow road of Beishan and could not advance or retreat.
Send troops to rescue.
It's too late, I'm afraid the body will have to be collected by General Zhang.
After hearing the news, Xu Miao was shocked and walked around the hall, confused.
After waiting for a long time, they finally mobilized all three thousand soldiers and horses in the city and rushed towards Lueyang to rescue Zhang He.
…
At the same time, Zhang He waited on Beishan Mountain and saw no Shu army coming. He waited on the left but still did not see the Shu army coming. He was extremely puzzled. He raised his hand to call the scouts and asked with a face:
"Are you looking carefully? Ma Di's army is heading here?"
"General, please take a closer look. Ma Su left Lueyang Tucheng three days ago. He only walked ten miles a day before setting up camp. Now he is still more than seventy miles away from our army."
"Only ten miles a day...hiss!" Zhang He muttered to himself, and suddenly took a breath of cold air: "No, I fell into the trap!"
"Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops!"
"Return to Benjo Castle quickly!"
When You Chu, the governor of Longxi who was accompanying him, heard this, he quickly raised his hands and advised: "Don't worry, general. I have three thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and Liangzhou Governor Xu Miao is in charge. Although Xu Governor is not good at attacking, he is extremely good at defending. I am here to tell you."
There will be no loss in identifying the city."
"Moreover, the horses and soldiers are few, and the number available will not exceed 5,000. The one we are worried about now is to cut off our army's return path."
Zhang He was startled, then suddenly realized, but he still said worriedly: "Although this is the case, I have to return to the army immediately!"
"Could it be that Governor You didn't see the loss of Chencang in the previous episode?"
"That Ma Su is scheming and accustomed to cheating. I'm afraid that Governor Xu is no match for him. Besides, Xiqiang still has tens of thousands of powerful troops, and they are always capricious. They robbed me of thousands of stones of food last time..."
"If he joins forces with Ma Su, how can Governor Xu resist him?"
Chencang...You Chu chewed these two words silently, but in his mind, he remembered the scene of how Ma Di pretended to be a Wei army and opened the city gate in a false way.
Then he sighed and remained silent.
The location of Shimoben Castle is too critical to be missed.
If the Shu army had this city, they would immediately have the initiative to fight against the Wei Dynasty.
From then on, it was convenient for Shu to go out to attack Wudu and even Longyou, but when the Wei Dynasty wanted to attack Hanzhong and even Sichuan, there was no way.
If the Wei army has this city, it will directly choke the Shu army's northward march. From now on, no matter where Zhuge Liang sends troops for the northern expedition, he must consider whether the Wei army in Xiabian City will cut off his retreat and lead Hanzhong.
Therefore, even if he knew that returning to the army would be a mistake, he had no choice but to go back.
Thinking of this, You Chu suddenly felt admiration.
General Zhang still sees things thoroughly!
So this is why I can only be a prefect.
Learned, learned.
Seeing that You Chu had been persuaded, Zhang He stood up boldly, urged the army down the mountain, and went straight to Xiabian City.
The soldiers were eager to return home, and they descended the mountain, running very fast along the way.
The team quickly became disjointed.
It was late summer and early autumn, and the soldiers had been feeding mosquitoes for four or five days on the mountain. They were all eager to return to the city and apply some herbs to relieve the itching.
Seeing this, Zhang He divided the army into three parts: the front, middle and back, taking care of each other and marching according to the mountains.
Not long after walking, I saw fires blazing in the mountain road ahead, and the sound of crying was loud.
A group of soldiers and horses under the banner of the Wei army were trapped in the sea of fire and could not escape.
The entire army was about to be annihilated.
No enemy troops could be seen on the nearby mountains.
Zhang He's heart sank, and he hurriedly urged his troops forward, ordered his soldiers to dig out the soil to put out the fire, and rescued Xu Miao, the governor of Liangzhou, who was burned to ashes, and a few soldiers.
The two of them looked at each other and knew that they had fallen into the trap. They immediately joined forces and rushed down to Benjo Castle in great annoyance.
