In a field of wormwood six miles north of Xiaowu Fort.
Ying Zige and his three hundred cavalrymen extinguished their torches and stood quietly, like ghosts in the dark, waiting for their prey to ambush.
"Meng Tian, who among Ziyu, Zicheng and Ling will make the first decision?"
In the silence, Ying Zige looked at the flames rising from the fortress in the distance and dyed half of the world red and asked lightly.
"Your Majesty, I will not dare to speak nonsense."
"You just say what you are told, why do you dare not?"
"Nuo! From what Yimo knows about Ziyu and the other three, he must be General Mengwu."
"Oh, why?"
"Your Majesty, Ziyu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Although he is very undisciplined, in terms of talent, he has a talent that is only seen in a hundred years. Your Majesty first deliberately left various clues in this battle, and then..."
"Then I asked Meng Jin to give them hints unknowingly without him knowing it. As for the rest of the people, even Xiaohu, I just gave them orders quietly when they set off. In this case, according to the
Due to the temperaments of the three of them, without my specific orders, Meng Jin must seek stability and stay put. Although Xiao Feng is strong in ability, he lacks prestige. Only Xiao Wu has all three, so it can only be him, and it must be him.
.”
Hearing Meng Tian's slow and hesitant answer, Ying Zige interrupted directly and said decisively.
"No! Your Majesty is wise."
"hehe!"
Ying Zige smiled faintly, and then ended the topic. When talking to smart people, sometimes it is not necessary to speak too clearly, but there is no doubt that Meng Tian is a smart person.
In fact, Ying Zige was not sure. With the strength of his generals, it was not difficult to capture Beiyuan. However, the reason why he waited repeatedly this time was because of many mysterious designs.
In addition to considering the involvement of forces other than Beiyuan, on the premise of maximizing his own benefits, he also wanted to hide his power as much as possible. At the same time, he also wanted to use the Beiyuan incident as an opportunity to fully
Exercise the power of direct relatives under your hands.
After all, in Ying Zige's memory, why was Cao Cao able to achieve great things during the Three Kingdoms and be able to stand out among the heroes in this troubled era?
First of all, there is no need to doubt Cao Cao's own ability.
Secondly, he believed that Cao Cao's eclectic approach to recruiting and employing talents was also the key to his great success.
After all, whether he is dealing with his direct subordinates or the cronies who surrendered to the enemy, he can always be meritocratic, put these people in the right position, make the best use of them, make the best use of their talents, and win over people's hearts at the same time
.
But in addition to these, Ying Zige believed that the most important reason why Cao Cao was able to achieve success was the support of his own clans, the Cao family and the Xiahou family.
Throughout Cao Cao's military life, it can be said that the Cao and Xiahou families provided absolute support.
Whether it was when Cao Cao raised his troops in the early days and received the support of generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan, or in the later stages of Cao Zhen and Cao Chun, they were all talented generals who could stand alone.
Cao Cao had such a large number of talented people from the beginning. Even in the subsequent struggle for hegemony, the entire Cao family was able to prosper and establish the huge Wei State.
And now that Ying Zige is sitting on the legacy of the Qin Dynasty, of course he must follow Cao Cao's example and vigorously cultivate his own clan power. After all, his loyalty is absolutely trustworthy no matter what.
Let's stop talking. Besides, after Ying Zige finished laughing, he fell silent again, looking at the fortress in the distance, making secret plans in his heart.
"Tap tap tap!"
After waiting for half an hour, everyone heard the sound of rapid horse hooves coming from a distance.
"Coming!"
The corner of Ying Zige's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and then he said hello to the left and right indifferently.
"Let's go, remember not to do anything without someone's order."
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
Meng Tian agreed, and then waved his hand, and the three hundred cavalry behind him became energetic and quietly waited for the arrival of the voice.
"呲呲! TUlurulu!"
Ma Chao and his dozens of cavalry had just escaped all the way, and in the blink of an eye they arrived in front of the meadow where Ying Zige ambushed his troops.
Suddenly, Ma Chao, who was riding his horse at a gallop, grabbed the reins. His burly body was full of energy and his handsome face was solemn.
Meng Jin, who was rushing behind him with his head covered, realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward and asked: "Major General, what's wrong?"
"Hmph, where is the little thief? I've already noticed him and he hasn't shown up yet."
Ma Chao glanced at Meng Jin coldly, and then shouted loudly.
"Haha, Major General, put aside your anger for now!"
When Ying Zige heard Ma Chao's roar, he couldn't help but smile, then he opened his mouth and rode out.
After Ma Chao yelled, his slightly sweaty hands tightened the golden gun in his hand, secretly concentrating, ready to charge at any time.
But suddenly I heard a warm voice coming from the meadow in front of me, and as the voice came out, the meadow in front of me suddenly lit up with countless torches, and it seemed like daylight in an instant.
In the meadow, two men stood solemnly with three hundred elite cavalry. The leading man held a spear in his hand and wore silver armor. There was a smile on his face as beautiful as jade, and he was looking at him with great energy.
"Who are you?"
Ma Chao looked at the three hundred cavalry arrayed in front of him. He couldn't help but secretly compare it with his own Ma family elites. He was secretly frightened, but he insisted on asking.
"Haha, the young general was defeated in this battle, but I don't know how to go back and explain to your father, the commander-in-chief?" Ying Zige heard Ma Chao's inquiry and ignored it. Instead, he continued to ask with a look of concern.
"Huh, victory or defeat is unpredictable. If you win this battle with a night attack, or if you lose with a night attack, a certain family will give an explanation to the commander-in-chief and the soldiers of the Ma family. What does it have to do with you!"
"Haha, the young general knows it well." Ying Zige looked at the arrogant young man in brocade clothes in front of him and admired secretly in his heart.
He is worthy of being the mighty general who cut off his beard and discarded his robes when Cao Cao was killed. Xiliang Jin Ma Chao was so outstanding in his youth, not bad!
Thinking of this, Ying Zige couldn't help but become more urgent about the plan in his heart. He ignored Ma Chao's golden spear that was about to stab out, and said to himself: "This battle in Beiyuan was settled. The Ma Jiajun, under the leadership of the Major General, with seven hundred
They first defeated the 4,000 Qiang-Korean coalition forces, and then cleverly planned a night attack to defeat the 3,000 elite troops of the Mima tribe with evil intentions. Finally, 600 elite troops made a long-distance attack on Xiaowu's stronghold, which had once again gathered thousands of troops.
Show off your grace and be worthy of being a champion.”
"What do you mean?"
Ma Chao listened to the murmur of the jade-like man in front of him, and the golden gun energy that was about to explode couldn't help but stagnate slightly, and asked with a trace of doubt on his handsome face.
Ying Zige ignored it and continued to mutter to himself: "The Major General rushed to Xiaowu Fort and left seeds for the Shaodang Qiang people out of benevolence. However, the Qiang people were ungrateful and colluded with outsiders to rebel at night. The Major General did not investigate for a while.
Under this situation, I can only lead my men alone to fight a bloody road and lead three hundred elites to return to martial power."
"What on earth do you mean?"
Ma Chao felt like a mess in his heart at this time. What is the nature of a young man? Besides, he was not a very wise person to begin with, so he asked directly.
