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

Chapter 272 Fight to the death, vow not to retreat

At this moment, Sima Yi who was outside also heard the sound, stopped the scout who was scrambling and fleeing, pointed to the inside and asked, "What's wrong with the lord inside?"

The scout was still in shock, and tremblingly said: "Cao Jun passed through the canyon safe and sound, and I am afraid that he will cross the South Mountain soon."

Hearing this, Sima Yi's expression also changed drastically.

He stood there with a gloomy expression, and finally waved at the scouts.

"You go back."

The scouts bowed and ran away as if they were about to receive an amnesty.

"Thank you Sergeant."

Sima Yi didn't go in even outside, and he was extremely shocked at the moment.

He had never been continuously affected by this in his life, and his heart was extremely shocked. In this dangerous place in Hanzhong, how did Cao Jun escape these more than 20 ambushes safely?

There is only one way to come, and there is no reason to avoid these ambushes.

After thinking about it, there is no suitable reason to convince myself, because once Cao Jun passes through Nanshan safely, a big battle will break out.

"No way!"

Sima Yi couldn't convince himself of this fact!
Then Sima Yi walked in, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Cao Jun is coming, what we should be thinking about now is how to fight against the enemy!"

Now they don't have any time to investigate how Cao Jun escaped the more than 20 ambushes unscathed.

Moreover, there is no news of the soldiers ambushing on the mountain now, and they have no way of knowing.

In front of the enemy, Ma Chao's expression softened a little, and he said lightly: "Yes, Zhongda, tell me how to fight against the enemy?"

All the ambushes in more than 20 places have disappeared, which means that he has lost nearly [-] troops.

The remaining soldiers in the city are no more than [-] people. Hanzhong is protected by natural dangers, and the city defense has never been paid much attention to, and it is useless.

Although it can be persisted, it is not a long-term solution.

Now they are like catching a turtle in a urn, it is impossible to escape.

Sima Yi was taken aback by Ma Chao's indifferent tone, obviously he was greatly disappointed in himself, Xiliang had never experienced a real victory here.

Cao Jun saw through all the strategies of his military adviser, and Xiliang is now a trapped beast.

Thinking of this, Ma Chao was not surprised that he was disappointed, then looked at Ma Chao and sighed, "It's not that there is no way to break the situation now."

Only then did Ma Chao turn his gaze to Sima Yi, his eyes were full of brilliance, he looked at Sima Yi, and chuckled.

"I want to hear how to break the situation!"

Sima Yi looked to the north and was not in a hurry, even though Cao Jun would arrive here in a few hours.

He calmly took out a topographical map of Bashu from the side and said: "This plan is the way to go all out. If you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred!"

"We can directly cross Micang Mountain and head to Bashu on the bus."

After speaking, Sima Yi withdrew his hand pointing at the map and stared at Ma Chao seriously.

Ma Chao gave Sima Yi a cold look and said, "Hmph, I thought there was some good strategy, but it turned out that it was just a matter of choosing a path without haste."

"I want to know, how did the 6 of us climb these two mountains with our luggage?"

Hearing Ma Chao's rhetorical question, Sima Yi was not annoyed, and asked, "I wonder if my lord has ever heard of the Yellow Turban Army?"

Hearing this, Ma Chao said indifferently: "Of course I have heard of it. What does this have to do with the Yellow Turban Army?"

"Nowadays, the Yellow Turban Army has long been destroyed, and it belongs to Cao Jun."

Sima Yi remained calm and composed, then put the map aside, and said aggressively, "Of course it's related!"

"If we, like the Yellow Turban Army, abandon all our luggage and only bring appropriate food and grass, we will go directly from Bashu and Shu County to hit Huanglong!"

As soon as this remark came out, Ma Chao was stunned, with incomparable astonishment in his eyes.

If this is the case, all 6 people will be able to climb the mountain in the south if they all travel lightly.

But Ma Chao had nothing to say for a while, and couldn't make up his mind.

It's just that although this strategy avoided the front of Cao Jun, it was still a dangerous choice.

Sima Yi didn't avoid looking at Ma Chao and said calmly: "It's all about death, it depends on how the lord chooses. If we confront each other head-on, we will definitely die!"

"Avoid the front and flee towards Bashu. Although it is shameful, it can leave a glimmer of life."

There is really no choice now, and there are only two choices before Ma Chao.

Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi indifferently, and made a choice that even surprised Sima Yi.

"I, Ma Chao, can escape for a while, but absolutely cannot escape forever!"

"In the future, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao will be able to frighten the foreign races in the frontier and make the surrounding foreign races tremble. Today, he can also kill the Cao army on the battlefield."

"Sorry, I reject your proposal. Although I can live on in this world, how can I, Ma Chao, live on mediocrity!"

"A real man should stand between heaven and earth, and must not live with his tail between his legs."

Hearing Ma Chao's words, Sima Yi was slightly moved.

"But, my lord"

Before he could finish speaking, Ma Chao directly interrupted him.

"Enough is enough. If you want to live on in the world, then you can leave. I will never stop you. I, Ma Chao, can retreat for a while, but I will never be a coward for the rest of my life."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Sima Yi and heard Ma Chao shout, "Where are the generals of the three armies?"

This sound spread throughout the mansion.

In the mansion at this time, all the soldiers had long been blinded, waiting for Cao Jun's trial.

But Ma Chao's cry woke them up in an instant, and their slack eyes stared at them.

All the soldiers looked towards the center of the mansion, and their eyes gradually showed joy. The former General Shenweitian had returned.

I saw Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, Ma Dai and others rushing towards the administration.

"Brother!"

These people shouted in unison: "What are your orders?"

Looking at Ma Chao today, they could clearly feel a slight change in him.

I saw Ma Chao said loudly: "Immediately rectify the army, and prepare to fight Cao Jun outside the city."

Although there are only [-] troops now, there is no fear in Ma Chao's eyes.

Hearing this, Ma Tie and others couldn't help but feel excited.

"Yes, brother."

Several people bowed and left one after another.

Ma Chao has made a choice to fight Cao Jun to the death. Although their strength is at a disadvantage, they will not run away again.

Seeing this scene, Sima Yi couldn't help being moved by the game, and sighed casually. Now he has no choice, and then he saluted Ma Chao and said.

"Sima Yi is willing to follow the Xiliang army as an accompanying military adviser, and lead the army for the lord."

Ma Chao turned around to look at Sima Yi, and said with a smile, "Okay, if we don't defeat Cao's army today, we promise not to retreat!"

Sima Yi also nodded and said, "I promise not to retreat!"

Now Ma Chao looks at the north without any fear, but has some expectations. The feeling of selflessness on the battlefield has returned.

Only such a Ma Chao can be called Jin Ma Chao, right?
