Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 532
"Sir, where is this land? Why is it so desolate?" On the shore of Pingcheng Lake, the surface of the lake was sparkling in the breeze, as if there were countless fish swimming. Ma Chao squatted by the lake and drank his water. The grass is lush and the vegetation is lush, but no one can say that the large plain in front of me, and it is adjacent to the lake, is an excellent land for farming, but in a radius of hundreds of miles, except for two deserted cities, there is nothing to see. Not a bit crowded.

Even though it was midsummer, Ma Chao felt a bit chilly for no reason.

"This is Pingcheng, which belongs to Yanmen County. The mountain in front is Baideng Mountain. The emperor of Han Dynasty was besieged here by the Huns. After passing Baideng Mountain, it is Dai County, which is the boundary of Youzhou. " Lu Bu and Zhao Yun got off their horses and let their horses drink water. Lu Bu looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "More than ten years ago, a certain person came here. At that time, there were still some people here, but later the princes came together. Most of the land is left unattended, and the Xianbei people go south to plunder every year, and it is not surprising that it has become like this!"

In the words, Ma Chao could feel the murderous aura escaping from Lu Bu and Zhao Yun!
He wanted to drink two more sips, but when he looked to the left, Chitu was leaning over to drink water, his front hooves were directly submerged in the water, and when he looked to the right, Zhao Yun's Zhaoye Lion Jade was also drinking water, and suddenly lost his appetite, stand up.

Although Xiliang is also facing foreign aggression, the boundary between Qiang and Han is not so clear, it is very blurred. Many people have gone to become Qiang people to avoid taxes or corvee. When there is a shortage of people in the government office, they will open up With the policy of benefiting the people, many Qiang people came back.

There are constant battles between the two sides, but because most of the Qiang people are mainly farming, and the land in the northwest is thin, so unless there is some deep hatred, they generally will not slaughter farmers.

As for the Huns, they generally would not go to Xiliang to plunder. One is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and nothing can be robbed. The other is that the Qiang and Han in Xiliang have been fighting all the year round. In the early years, Huangfusong and Dong Zhuo all started here, and because of the distance, they didn’t have many opportunities to fight the Huns, so they didn’t realize that Lu Bu and Zhao Yun were almost engraved in their bones against the Huns and Xianbei. hatred.

"Then when shall I mobilize troops?" Ma Chao coughed lightly, stepped back a few steps, and didn't want to stand between these two people, always feeling that his aura was suppressed by them.

That's all for Lu Bu, Ma Chao has an inexplicable sense of fear towards Lu Bu, and he can't get mad in front of him, but for Zhao Yun, although Ma Chao admits that Zhao Yun was indeed better than himself before, but the other party is also older than himself, The gap between the two sides is not that desperate, so Ma Chao is not very convinced of Zhao Yun, but he was born a few years earlier than himself.

"So, a war is about to start?" Ma Chao looked at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, and then turned his gaze to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, now that we have borrowed food and grass, when shall we launch troops?"

After Baideng Mountain is the border of Youzhou, if there are no other problems, it's time to go to war.

Chen Gong nodded and said: "According to the news from the scouts, although this place is close to Dai Commandery, there are counties like Gaoliu, Beipingyi, Dongyang, Sanggan, Daoren and so on. Now there is not much population and no soldiers. Stationed, the nearest is Macheng, which is close to Qiushui, and is the territory of the Xianbei people. There are heavy troops stationed here. In addition, there are Guangning, Ning County and Macheng on the line. The population here is not bad. Quite a few, Macheng is the gateway, and the first battle we wait for is to go down to Macheng first, this is not only the gateway of Daijun, but also the gateway of Youzhou, and only after we leave this city can our army formally enter Youzhou."

"This Gaoliu is the prefecture of Daijun, why is there no one there?" Ma Chao asked puzzled.

"This is a strategy to fortify the walls and clear the country. Although Gaoliu is a county government and there are mountains and rivers in the west, there are no dangerous places to defend. It is a wise move to abandon Gaoliu and defend Macheng. If you gather heavy troops in Gaoliu, Gaoliu will be destroyed. For an isolated city!" Chen Gong smiled and explained geography to the illiterate.

"In war, you need to know the terrain first. How did Meng Qi fight before?" Chen Gong was curious. Ma Chao is also a Xiliang warrior. He has experienced a lot of battles, so he doesn't have any military knowledge at all.

"The only one in Xiliang who can condense the youthful spirit of defending the city is the old dog Han. If he is going to break the city, it is usually not too difficult. Sometimes he can jump up to the city by riding a horse. Ordinary generals are no match for me even if they form an formation! " Ma Chao recalled.

In the past, it was so easy to break the city, but it is not as good as it is now. The green spirit of protecting the city is rare in Xiliang. The formation comes to defend, and the effect is the same.

Chen Gong nodded clearly.

"No wonder." Lu Bu looked at him and said with a smile, "If you want to do this in the Central Plains, you're not that good at it."

Ma Chao's anger rose from his heart, and he looked at Lu Bu, and his anger slowly receded.

When others said this, he just slapped him up, and Zhao Yun couldn't do it either, but Lu Bu said that... He had nothing to say. When he attacked Yanmen before, he couldn't break the green energy, but Lu Bu could break it, and he rushed directly. As soon as he went up, he cut people off. He felt that there was still a little distance between himself and Lu Bu, and he could not compete with him.

"Sir, at the end of this battle, I would like to be the vanguard." Ma Chao automatically turned his head to Chen Gong, and said to Chen Gong.

"It's about 250 miles to Macheng. Meng Qi will go first, and he will arrive today. It would be best if he can break the city. If he can't, he will set up camp and think about how to break the city when the army arrives." Chen Gong nodded and smiled. road.

In this expedition, among others, the three generals, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Lu Bu, were fiercer than each other. Even Chen Gong was fighting this kind of battle for the first time.

Looking at the whole world, there are not many generals who can command this kind of generals in one battle. Even Chu Nan's generals at the moment may not be as good as these three in terms of quality.

"Here!" Ma Chao agreed, pulled the horse, turned on his back, and followed Chen Gong's instructions with his own troops, heading straight for Macheng.

Seeing Ma Chao leave, Lu Bu took out a map from his pocket to look at it. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but recall in his mind that when he simulated the battlefield, his son-in-law and Guo Jia seemed to ambush him in Ma Cheng's generation.

After thinking about it, Chen Gong said: "Gongtai, look at the terrain of Macheng. If you pass Macheng, it will be a small plain. If the enemy knows that our army is coming, they will set up an ambush here in advance with elites. The plain is a trap, let Kaima City let our army enter this plain first, and then encircle the army, isn't it dangerous?"

Chen Gong looked at the map, then looked at Lu Bu, and smiled with some relief: "It's quite rare for Marquis Wen to think of this place, but I'm not too worried about it here."

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong, "What do you mean by that?"

"To do this, Yuan Shao must send out an elite army, and they need to know this first. Although this place is suitable for ambushes, even if Yuan Shao got the news and rushed here, it is impossible to make a move in such a short time. To respond seamlessly, if they want to do this, they must know the deployment of our army in advance, and start preparations when our army enters Bingzhou, otherwise it will not be easy to trap Marquis Wen."

When Chu Nan and Guo Jia simulated the battlefield, they guessed from various signs that Lu Bu would go according to their deployment plan, so they arranged in Macheng in advance, and then waited for Lu Bu to kill him, while sending people to harass the grain road from behind, and at the same time Trapped Lu Bu on this plain, then continued to shrink, and finally trapped Lu Bu to death here.

But for this matter, Chu Nan prepared for two full months, and Guo Jia also prepared for more than a month in the simulated battle, so even if Yuan Shao noticed their marching route, and this place was indeed suitable for ambushes, he couldn't do it. Even if he has arrived in Macheng now.

"And I really hope that Yuan Shao can come!" Chen Gong laughed.

"Why?" Lu Bu asked puzzled.

"In this way, Jizhou must be empty, and Ziyan can take advantage of the situation to attack Jizhou." Chen Gong laughed.

"This..." Lu Bu frowned and said, "Then Yuan Shao can't shrink the line of defense, abandon Yecheng, and shrink his troops to the area around Jobfield Mountain and Hejian. To deal with Ziyan?"

"Uh..." Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu in astonishment, nodded after thinking for a moment, "This method does have a chance of winning, and it's also Yuan Shao's odds of winning, but... from the looks of it, Yuan Shao probably won't abandon Yecheng. "

A simulated battlefield is a simulation after all, there is no need to consider many practical issues, as long as you can win, but in reality, who has such courage?

Yuan Shao was in the middle of the game, and he relied on his strength. How could he give up half of Jizhou to trade space for time, defeat Lu Bu first, and then attack Chunan?
To be honest, if Yuan Shao had the courage, he wouldn't wait until Chu Nan made the first move.

In this battle, Yuan Shao initiated the call to arms, but it was Chu Nan who made the first move.

Seeing Lu Bu's bewildered face, Chen Gong was a little puzzled. Since Lu Bu could think of this, how could he not have thought of the practical problem? Hou Keyuan?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned and said, "Our army is strong and strong, why should we give up the entire Yanyu Prefecture? Just fight."

"Yuan Shao probably thinks the same way?" Chen Gong sighed, "Although this method can indeed gain life, it requires a strong man to sever his wrists, and with the current situation, it is not so easy to retreat. If it is defeated, it will be destroyed sooner, so this plan seems feasible, but if there is no sufficient preparation, it will be difficult!"

Chu Nan and Guo Jia dared to take this step because they were only simulating the battlefield. If they lost, they could start over and they would not suffer any losses. But in reality, let alone Yuan Shao didn’t think he was defeated. It is also very difficult to make this determination. It is impossible to use this strategy until the end of the mountain and the water, and if the end of the mountain is reached, he will not be able to use it.

Lu Bu seemed to understand something when he heard the words, he was teased by his son-in-law and Guo Jia!
