The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 253 The Insidious Sima Yi
The next day.

Ma Chao led the army to attack the surrounding counties one by one with a devastating momentum, and all the cities fell into Ma Chao's hands.

Until the attack on the fourth county, I couldn't bear it and stationed directly in place.

At this moment, Ma Chao looked extremely ugly. Without exception, all the cities he captured were empty cities.

There were not even a few people living there, and it looked like they had fled to the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an overnight.

These counties and counties all opened their doors, the streets were empty, and Ma Chao had no desire to capture them.

Originally, he just thought that the troops around here were a little empty, but he didn't expect that there were no troops at all.

Cao Jun actually gave up all these cities, which made Ma Chao finally hit the air with his clenched fist.

"Everyone, stay where you are!"

"Go and inform Sima Yi, and ask him to take the remaining soldiers, food and supplies to station here."

"In addition, send [-] troops to search the surrounding counties."

There was a hint of boredom in Ma Chao's eyes. For him, Cao Jun gave him these empty cities, which was tantamount to humiliating him.

It was because of the short confrontation with Cao Jun before that he was suffocated and did not get vented.

After that, Sima Yi came here very quickly.

"General."

Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Chao let out a little breath, looked at him and asked, "When will father and their army arrive?"

Sima Yi pondered for a while and said, "Probably today and tomorrow."

Ma Chao asked sharply, "Probably?"

Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Sima Yi had already gotten used to it, and then said calmly: "Naturally, a [-]-strong army marches slowly. If there is a road collapse or heavy rain, it may be delayed for two days."

"But no scouts came to report, this is my personal guess."

Looking at Ma Chao in front of him, he could already guess that Ma Chao couldn't wait to lead the army to fight Cao Jun.

As for Ma Chao's temper, Sima Yi already knew it like the palm of his hand, and softly persuaded him: "General, don't be in a hurry. Cao's army relies on the danger of the Wei River to defend. Even if the army comes here for a while, it will not be able to cross the water and fight."

"The current Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the general must not be impulsive."

Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi and said with a smile, "Zhongda, you still understand what I mean."

Then he threw the scroll in his hand aside and walked towards the school field.

At this time, Sima Yi took the scroll in his hand and read it carefully, then smiled lightly.

For him, Xiliang is the best choice, Ma Teng and Ma Chao are not resourceful people, and this place has strong troops.

There were no other counselors under Xiliang, only Sima Zhongda was the only one.

Although he doesn't have any prominent status in Xiliang now, after he has gained the complete trust of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, he can make Ma Teng and Ma Chao a little bit of a surprise as long as he does a little trick at that time.

It is uncertain whether the lord of Xiliang is surnamed Ma or Sima.

Sima Yi neatly placed the scrolls in his hands aside, with a smile on his lips.

At night, when it was just dawn, all the soldiers in Chencang County, where Ma Chao was now stationed, were awakened.

The sound coming back from outside caused the earth to vibrate, and the deep sound made it impossible to fall asleep at all.

Some soldiers even panicked.

"This is."

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

These soldiers were all [-] soldiers borrowed by Ma Chao from Zhang Lu, and all the soldiers among the Xiliang iron cavalry showed a smile.

"The Xiliang army has arrived."

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

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

Only Xiliang!

Most of the soldiers in Xiliang are cavalry, and all the Xiliang soldiers show a trace of fighting spirit. The army has already arrived. Are you afraid that you can't conquer Sizhou?
Ma Chao also showed a look of excitement, is the [-] army still afraid of the small Weishui?

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

"Haha, father, you are finally here."

Ma Teng nodded lightly, and said in a slightly deep voice: "The supplies from the Qiang people are a little late, and this has delayed a lot of time."

Ma Teng in Xiliang had good relations with the Qiang people in the past dynasties, and even Ma Chao's mother was a Qiang.

So when I heard Ma Teng talk about it, I didn't notice anything strange.

Ma Teng looked at Sima Yi who was at the side and asked, "Zhongda, what's the situation in Sizhou now?"

Ma Teng naturally knew about Sima Yi's talent, so he asked directly.

Sima Yi bowed and said, "My lord, Sizhou is now bounded by the Weishui River, and Cao Jun has withdrawn all its troops and people."

Hearing this, Ma Teng showed a pensive look, but the corner of his mouth could not stop smiling.

"I didn't expect that Cao Jun didn't have any troops in Sizhou, and he was willing to give up all these counties and counties. God help me!"

At this moment, the [-] army behind him was stationed towards Chen Cang, of which [-] were cavalry, and only [-] soldiers were there.

Xiliang is also the only prince with more cavalry than infantry, just like most of Jiangdong's soldiers are well versed in water skills.

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

Ma Teng said with a smile, "Everyone rest immediately, and send troops to Weishui at noon."

"Now Cao Cao's Sizhou is empty, now is a rare opportunity."

Hearing that Ma Teng gave the order directly regardless of himself, Sima Yi unconsciously wanted to dissuade him.

Although this Sizhou was empty, he always felt that there were many doubts, as if there was something wrong somewhere.

But he couldn't say it at all, and Ma Teng even sent troops in the name of an opportunity.

After hesitating again and again, he fell into deep thought. In his opinion, there must be something wrong with Sizhou, but he couldn't find the problem.

In the end, he sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm still too cautious."

Two hours later, the cavalry in Xiliang had been reorganized, and it seemed that as long as Ma Teng gave an order, they could directly cross the Wei River and go straight to Chang'an.

Ma Teng looked at the [-] army behind him, showing a look of pride, this is the number one cavalry of the big man, Xiliang iron cavalry!
With the support of the Qiang people and the Hu people, he expanded the size of the cavalry to 8 people, and these 8 people are not something that can be mixed in.

They are all elites who are good at riding skills. If they confront each other head-on, Ma Teng is fully confident that he can break through Chang'an.

Even now, Cao Bing's cavalry is probably only [-] to [-] at most.

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

Today's cavalry cannot be said on the same day as the original cavalry.

Ma Teng let out a loud roar, his eyes showed sternness: "All officers and men obey orders!"

All the soldiers raised their spears high, and then put them down heavily.

With a "bang", the yellow sand all over the sky was raised.
