Three Kingdoms: Becoming Cao Cao's Chief Adviser at the Start

Now that the sky is bright, and in Chencang County, where Ma Chao is currently stationed, all the soldiers here are awakened.

The rumbling sound outside made the earth tremble, and the deep sound made it impossible to continue to sleep.

Some of the soldiers were already panicking.

"This is……"

"It's not an enemy attack!"

. . . "

These soldiers are all one of the 20,000 soldiers that Ma Chao borrowed from Zhang Lu.

And those soldiers in the Xiliang iron cavalry all showed a smile.

"Xiliang army, here we come!"

These roaring sounds were produced by countless horses trampling the earth.

Looking at the whole big man, who can have so many cavalry?

Only Xi Liang!

Half of the soldiers in Xiliang are cavalry, and all the soldiers in Xiliang are burning with a trace of fighting spirit, and now the army is so afraid that it will not be able to flatten Sizhou?

Ma Chao also showed an extremely excited look, afraid of being blocked by a river of Wei River?

He personally came outside the city to meet Ma Teng's arrival.

"Hahaha, father, you are finally here!"

Ma Teng nodded lightly and said in a slightly low voice.

"The supplies at Qiangdi were a little late, so it was delayed a lot!

Xiliang Ma Teng had a good relationship with Qiang Di in all dynasties, and even Ma Chao's mother was a Qiang.

Therefore, when Ma Teng said this word, he did not feel any strangeness.

Ma Teng looked at Sima Yi on the side and asked.

"Zhong Da, how is the situation in Sizhou now?

He naturally knew Sima Yi's talent, so he asked directly.

I saw Sima Yi bowing.

"My lord, now that Sizhou is bounded by the Wei River, Cao's army has withdrawn all its troops and people. 99

Hearing this, Ma Teng showed a contemplative look, but the corners of 10's mouth couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect that Cao Jun didn't have any troops in Sizhou now.

"Are you willing to give up all these counties?"

"God help me too!

At this moment, the 100,000 army behind him was heading towards Chen Cang. Among the 100,000 army, there were 80,000 cavalry and only 20,000 infantry.

Xiliang is also the only place where there are more cavalry than soldiers, just like most of the soldiers in Jiangdong are well versed in water.

Soldiers of Xiliang have learned equestrian skills since childhood, and even learned the fighting skills of Qiang because of their relationship with the Qiang people.

I saw Ma Teng said with a smile.

"Everyone rested immediately, and at noon they sent troops to the Wei River! 35

"Now Cao Cao's Sizhou emptiness is a rare opportunity!

Hearing that Ma Teng gave the order without even asking himself, Sima Yi unconsciously wanted to dissuade him.

Although this Sizhou was empty, he always felt suspicious, as if something went wrong.

But he couldn't say it at all, and Ma Teng could use the name of an opportunity to send troops.

He hesitated again and again and fell into contemplation. In his opinion, there was obviously something wrong with Sizhou, but he could not find the motive and reason for Cao Jun to do so.

Finally he sighed.

"That's all, I'm still too cautious."

Two hours later, it is now noon.

At this time, the Xiliang cavalry had been rectified, and it seemed that they were waiting for Ma Teng's order to go straight across the Wei River and take Chang'an.

Ma Teng looked at the 80,000 army behind him, showing a hint of pride, this is the first cavalry of the Han!

Xiliang Iron Rider!

With the support of the Qiang people and the Hu people, he expanded the size of the cavalry to 80,000 people, and these 80,000 people are not all dross that can get in.

All of them were elites who were good at riding. If they confronted each other head-on, Ma Teng was completely confident that he would be able to break through Chang'an.

Even today's Cao Jun cavalry is probably only 40,000 to 50,000 at most.

In contrast to when the world was in chaos, all the horses were requisitioned as war horses, and now the specifications are obviously stricter.

Today's cavalry cannot be compared with the cavalry of the past.

Ma Teng roared loudly, and his eyes showed a stern look.

"All commanders obey!

All the soldiers threw their spears heavily.

"Bang!" A sound of yellow sand raised the sky.

At this time he continued to shout.

"Target Weishui!

"Set off!"

Following his order, the 80,000 iron cavalry moved.

The huge rumbling sound was deafening. Today, Xiliang Ma Teng planned to take Chang'an in one fell swoop.

The news of Xiliang soon spread to Chang'an.

This morning, they had already received the news that Xiliang sent troops.

"My lord, the iron cavalry of Xiliang has launched an army at noon!"

A dark guard is reporting the news at the moment.

At this moment, all the civil and military people in Chang'an are gathered here.

Hearing the news, Guo Jia couldn't hold back his breath and said in surprise.

"Then Xiliang moved troops so quickly!"

"They just arrived in Chencang, and they dispatched troops in such a hurry in less than a day?"5

Zhuge Liang, on the other hand, glanced at Cao Yang, and then explained it seriously.

"Besides the Wei River, all the soldiers, horses, and people in the west of Sizhou have been evacuated. Although Ma Teng occupied such a large area, he did not get anything."

"In addition, the lord has created an illusion of insufficient troops for Sizhou, they are naturally eager, and now they can't wait to send troops.

Cao Yang nodded, showing a hint of indifference.

Although the 100,000-strong army of Xiliang has arrived now, it is not yet time for a head-to-head battle.

I saw him looking at the generals below and said.

"Hao Zhao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, the three of you obey!"

Hearing his name read, the three generals came out to the center.

Cao Yang continued.

"I order you to lead 20,000 troops to Huaili County near Chang'an to be stationed to welcome Ma Chao's army of 100,000!

"At least stick to me for more than six days!"

Hearing this news, everyone was shocked.

"What a joke, Lord, how can an army of 20,000 defend the offensive of an army of 100,000?"

Even the strategists and generals below showed shock, and Huang Zhong and Wei Yan also looked at Cao Yang a little puzzled.

Someone started to persuade.

"My lord, why should you let him go with only 20,000 troops, this is tantamount to sending him to death!"

"Although the enemy army hastily dispatched troops on this trip, please don't slack off and think twice before proceeding. 55

6695

Almost everyone did not understand Cao Yang's intentions, and they all showed a trace of doubt.

However, at this moment, the words of one person made everyone quiet.

"I don't think it's a problem! 35

This person's words were even more effective than Cao Yang's at this time.

Hao Zhao chuckled lightly, looked at Cao Yang, and looked around at the same time, looking at the quiet environment, he emphasized again.

"I don't think it's a problem!""

With Hao Zhao's words, countless people were stunned in place.

How is this going?

Crazy? Is it all crazy?

Just 20,000 people can confidently stop the 100,000 army?

"General Hao Zhao, this matter is no trivial matter, don't make a fool of yourself!"

However, Hao Zhao showed a hint of confidence.

"I'm good at defending the city, this time the Xiliang army is dominated by iron cavalry, if they want to attack the city hard, these soldiers must abandon their horses to attack the city,

"If the 20,000 soldiers in the city are missing, they are afraid of him!"

Following Hao Zhao's explanation, everyone hesitated slightly.

And Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others who had been silent all the time turned their attention to Cao Yang's face, all showing a hint of admiration.

I am afraid that only the lord can make the best use of people, and never let anyone go.

Cao Yang's indifferent expression seemed to have known this scene for a long time.

He looked at the hesitant crowd and said lightly.

"In Huaili, I built the Weng City as early as a month ago, and even the city defense facilities are extremely complete, you only need to lead your troops there.

"Also, Gao Shun, you can follow Hao Zhao, if there is a change, you can take the trap and take action!

In this way, Huaili County will be foolproof

After hearing these words from Cao Yang, Hao Zhao smiled and said loudly.

"If this is the case, as long as there is enough food and grass, I can keep it for several months! 99

Everyone looked at Hao Zhao with admiration.

After Hao Zhao and Huang Zhong left. Cao Yang once again looked at the generals below with a hint of edge.

"When the army of Xiliang arrives in Huaili and prepares to forcibly destroy the city, the army of 100,000 will bypass Ma Teng from the north and go straight to Qiangdi!"

He's been waiting for so long, isn't that the moment he's been waiting for!

This time, the Xiliang army came out in full force, and the rear of Xiliang was empty. As long as Qiangdi was defeated, Xiliang would not only lose resources, but even morale would be greatly affected.

In Huaili, Hao Zhao has already led the soldiers to defend here.

Countless city defenses in the city have been fully prepared, and it seems that they have long expected that this day will come.

As the anointing oil of Huoyin, there is actually a lot of reserves.

Most of Dahan as kerosene generally refers to anointing oil, most of which are extracted from the fat of fish.

This made Hao Zhao couldn't help but feel happy. Although kerosene was a regular stock in the army, such an amount had obviously exceeded his expectations.

At this moment, the countless rolling woods, wolf-tooth rackets and other city defense equipment on the city defense have been prepared.

The remaining food and grass in the city was enough for them to use for a month, which undoubtedly made him feel a lot more at ease, and more importantly, there were still many people in this city.

However, this had no effect on He Zhao, who was defending the city defense.

The existence of the common people confuses the enemy even more, making them affirm the fact that Sizhou has no soldiers.

Now, it is only waiting for Ma Chao to lead his troops. According to the news, Ma Chao's army will definitely arrive outside the city before dawn within an hour.

However, Hao Zhao didn't need any news at this time, because he looked far to the west and could already see a black mass coming towards Huaili.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, a low-pitched sound could be heard from the ground.

Looking at these 80,000 cavalry, even He Zhao was a little shocked. I had never seen this scene before.

Although it was shocking, he did not panic at all.

927 saw Hao Zhao staring straight ahead, watching the army of 100,000, quietly waiting for their arrival.

He said lightly.

"The gates are sealed, and they can only climb up from the walls. 35

For this battle, Hao Zhao obviously made the most absolute way, since the city gate has been sealed.

That meant that once the enemy army broke through the line of defense and climbed up the ladder, they would not be able to evacuate even if there was a trap camp.

"These Xiliang soldiers also want to break my city?

The 100,000 army came to the front, and the person at the forefront was not Ma Teng but Ma Chao. He rode his horse in front of the formation and watched Huaili City.

Looking at He Zhao at the top, there was a glint in his eyes, and he laughed.

"I was beaten a few days ago and fled away from the city, throwing away my armor and armor, how can you still dare to wait here today?"

Ma Chao looked at Hao Zhao with a hint of contempt.

"However, even a defeated general still dares to defend the city?

"If it wasn't for Zhao Yun leading the tiger and leopard to ride here, you would have been killed by me!"

Compared with the last time, there was a 100,000-strong army behind him. How could he resist the general who was beaten by me with 20,000 troops and fled the city?

However, since Hao Zhao is good at city defense, these trash talk obviously have no effect on him.

He said with a smile.

"Last time it was just that there was a shortage of food and grass in the city, so I gave you an edge."

Then his tone suddenly became sharp, looking at the army of 100,000 people without the slightest fear.

"Today, you can come and try, can you break my city defense!

The tone of this momentary change made Ma Chao's face change slightly.

The He Zhao in front of him was very different from what he had seen a few days ago. Facing an army of 100,000 people, he did not have any panic, and was even extremely calm.

Is this really the same person as the general who abandoned the city and fled that day?

Ma Chao looked up coldly.

"Can you dare to go out to fight?"

He just smiled heartily and shouted loudly.

"All officers and men, follow me to guard Huaili!

"As long as the reinforcements arrive, a mere 100,000 Xiliang troops are nothing!

The soldiers on the city defense shouted loudly, and all the soldiers showed an extremely firm look.

"Stay in Huaili!

This tone made Ma Chao frown slightly, and it seemed that he was going to forcibly break the city again today.

He looked up and shouted angrily.

"Then don't blame me for breaking through this Huaili City today!"

And Sima Yi, who came with him, breathed a sigh of relief. Hao Zhao's words were undoubtedly not proof that there was no army or ambush in Sizhou!
