Besides, Zhao Yun and Wen Chou led 30,000 troops and horses to set off first, and encountered the Xiliang army at the border of Chencang, less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an.
I originally thought there would be an encounter. But for some unknown reason, Xiliang troops did not come out to fight. They just set up camp and saw Xiliang troops arriving one after another.
Although Zhao Yun didn't know that the other party had no intention of doing this, it was a good thing and would help our army seize the advantage.
So, Wen Chou was asked to supervise the army's camp in Xiliang and the camp directly opposite. And he personally led a team of people and watched the movements on the opposite side. If there was a situation, he would solve it himself.
The division of labor was decided, and the two acted independently. Set up camp and wait for the arrival of the lord.
Three days later, Yuan Shao arrived with his army, Dian Wei and Guo Jia. Zhao Yun and the others caught them and reported the situation here in detail.
After listening to Zhao Yun's report, Yuan Shao and Guo Jia looked at each other and understood. There is something fishy about the other side. Although I don’t know what it is, the situation is favorable to our army.
I'm planning to find out the other party's truth and falsehoods tomorrow morning. Yuan Shao thought so and gave the order. Challenge tomorrow morning, nothing will happen tonight.
The next day, Yuan Shao ordered the drums to be beaten to gather the generals. As soon as the drums were beaten, all the generals arrived, and the 80,000-strong army was also assembled.
Yuan Shao saw that the crowd was excited and morale was high, so he didn't talk nonsense. The one who rode out first and headed straight for the enemy camp. Dian Wei followed closely behind him, and Zhao Yun followed behind with an army of 20,000 men. It was agreed upon yesterday that Guo Jia and Wen Chou would be left behind with the remaining soldiers and horses to guard the camp.
As soon as Yuan Shao and his party arrived at the gate of the Xiliang camp, they stopped their horses and saw the Xiliang army and horses rushing out to form a formation. Ma Teng and Han Sui came together. Although they were a little distracted, they still had to work hard on the scene.
Seeing that his old acquaintance Ma Teng was there, Yuan Shao rushed out of the military formation. Standing ten feet in front of the Xiliang formation, he stationed his horse with a whip, pointed the whip at Ma Teng and said, "Prime Minister Yuan Shao of the Han Dynasty, please ask General Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, to come out and answer."
Ma Teng heard the alliance leader calling him and rode out of the formation. Ignoring Han Sui's suspicious eyes, he kept a little distance from Yuan Shao. He bowed on his horse and said politely.
"I, Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang, have met the prime minister."
Seeing that Ma Teng was so knowledgeable, Yuan Shao was very satisfied and said, "Haha, General Ma doesn't need to be polite. We didn't see him during the last alliance meeting. Shao felt sorry for it. He didn't want to meet him today. It's really gratifying." Congratulations."
Ma Teng was also a little happy and said, "I have long wanted to see the leader of the alliance, and I didn't want to see him only today. It really comforts my longing for seeing him."
"Hahahahahahaha", after saying this, the two of them laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
We talked about it before we knew it, and it felt like we were friends we hadn't seen for many years. He also ignored matters on the battlefield and didn't mention anything about the military situation. Those who only talk about romance, not state affairs.
Han Sui looked very dissatisfied. We didn’t come all the way here just to chat with you. It's for the benefit. Ma Teng, where do you put the Xiliang army and where do you put my face?
Han Sui was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, he suddenly saw Ma Chao, Ma Teng's son, staring at the enemy general opposite, his eyes shining golden, and a sense of war arose spontaneously.
Seeing this, Han Sui's eyes lit up and he thought he had a solution. So he called his confidant over and told him to do this. The confidants followed the order and came to the impatient Ma Chao according to the plan. They didn't know what he said to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao was very excited and screamed a little excitedly. So he galloped out with a gun and his horse, shouting at the other side.
"I am Xiliang Ma Chao, Zhao Yun dares to come out and fight."
This loud shout instantly broke the calm atmosphere just now. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Seeing Ma Chao holding a spear and pointing it at Zhao Yun, he looked very arrogant and asked him to come out for a fight.
Dian Wei couldn't bear it anymore and whipped his horse hard, causing it to rush out from behind his lord and go straight towards Ma Chao.
The war horse was in pain and quickly ran to Ma Chao. Dian Wei didn't answer, but held out his halberd and greeted Ma Chao.
Ma Chao saw an ugly man rushing out from the opposite side, looking very powerful. I just wanted to make the other party famous, but I didn't know that the other party didn't follow common sense and didn't play according to the routine, and he became entangled with me.
Ma Chao's hands had been itchy for a long time, and when he saw the enemy general coming up, he didn't hesitate. A little excited, he held his gun and rode up to meet him.
After a while, the two were fighting together. By the time Yuan Shao and Ma Teng realized what they were doing, they had already fought for thirty rounds, and the outcome was still undecided.
When Ma Teng saw that his son was disobedient, he killed him before he could give his orders and fought with the generals of the imperial court.
I really love and hate him in my heart. Seeing that he was very interested in killing, I didn't stop him. It just happened to let the court see my Xiliang style. He fisted his fist at Yuan Shao to express his apology.
Regarding Ma Teng's little thoughts, Yuan Shao looked at it very funny and said it didn't matter. He just wanted to see how the famous Jin Ma Chao in the Three Kingdoms was doing in martial arts now.
Yuan Shao looked up and saw that Ma Chao was only seventeen years old now. He was still a young general, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like shooting stars, a tiger body and ape arms, a belly and a wolf waist. Holding a spear and riding a horse, he looks a bit heroic and invincible.
Unfortunately, what he met was Dian Wei, who was known as the Ancient Evil. He was the top military general of the Three Kingdoms on par with Lu Bu and Zhao Yun. The only thing lacking is probably martial arts skills, as for strength. Dian Wei said that I have a lot of things and will not be short of them.
As for the current Ma Chao, I really can’t get enough of it. After another twenty rounds of fighting, Ma Chao gradually felt that his strength was a little weak. This ugly man was very skilled in martial arts, so he might not be his opponent.
But Ma Chao is a bit stubborn in refusing to admit defeat, which can also be said to be childish. After all, the hero is still young. He just refuses to retreat and is still struggling, hoping that if the enemy general makes a mistake, he can defeat him.
Dian Wei doesn't care about these things and never pays attention to them. It's rare to encounter an enemy general with fairly good martial arts skills, how could he not have a good fight? Dian Wei hasn't had a good fight since his last fight with Zhao Yun. Now that we have met, we must have a hearty battle.
I saw that Dian Wei Zhan was very excited and howling. He didn't notice that he was speeding up his attacks and increasing the power of his attacks. Dian Wei was very happy like this, but Ma Chao was miserable.
I couldn't hold on anymore, and now I can't stand it even more. I didn't expect this ugly man to be so powerful. Now he is showing his true strength, and he is indeed no match for him.
