The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 584 Xiliang Army
"I hope Boyan and Ma Teng can break through Tongguan as soon as possible to help me fight back against Cao Cao." Li Yuan stared at the enemy as he spoke, as if he could see Cao Cao.

Ten days later, Lu Xun's army had arrived in Hanzhong, and Ma Teng's 11 Xiliang iron cavalry had also arrived. They were stationed [-] miles outside Chang'an City.The combined army of Lu Xun and Ma Teng already has [-] troops, which is far more than the troops stationed in Chang'an. However, the cavalry is only good at fighting on the plains and has almost no effect when attacking the city. Therefore, the main force of the siege is still the Lu Xun's soldiers and horses.

Lu Xun sent Xu Shu to Ma Teng's camp to invite Ma Teng to discuss how to attack Chang'an. After Xu Shu took the order, he immediately went to find Ma Teng. There are more than soldiers, and I can't help feeling that Xiliang is indeed a land of horses. It is very difficult for them to form a cavalry, but Ma Teng can produce more than [-] horses casually, and they can't compare with it.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Xu Shu walked into Ma Teng's camp. In addition to Ma Teng, there were Ma Chao, Ma Tie, Ma Xiu, Ma Dai, Pang De and Han Sui in the camp.

"Xu Shu met General Ma!" Xu Shu cupped his hands in salute. He looked up at Ma Teng, and saw that although Ma Teng was old, he was still majestic.

However, it was not Ma Teng who attracted Xu Shu's attention the most, but a general standing next to Ma Teng. This general looked like Ma Teng, but was younger and more powerful. He was even taller than Ma Teng. Teng slightly higher.Xu Shu thought to himself that this person must be Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng. Ma Chao's name is so powerful in Xiliang, even though he is far away in Xiangyang, he has heard of Ma Chao's reputation.

Ma Teng said boldly: "Mr. Xu, you don't need to be too polite. Wen Zhong and I are life-and-death friends. Today, I came here to help him break Chang'an. Wen Zhong is now stationed in Qiao County. Who is the general who led the army to attack Chang'an this time?"

Xu Shu replied: "Old General Ma, the commander-in-chief of this expedition to Chang'an is Lu Xun. General Lu asked me to come and invite General Ma to our army camp to discuss the matter of breaking the city."

"Lu Xun? Which General Lu is this?" Ma Teng had only heard that there were five tiger generals in Li Yuan's army, but none of the five tiger generals had the surname Lu.

"General Lu is leading troops for the first time, so General Ma may not have heard of his name." Xu Shu knows that Lu Xun is not well-known now, so Ma Teng must have never heard of him, but he believes that after this battle Lu Xun will surely be famous all over the world in the future.

"Hmph, Li Yuan looks down on us too much. He didn't send Five Tiger Generals to join forces with us, but only an unknown boy. Does he not value us so much?" Ma Chao originally wanted to meet the so-called Five Tiger Generals How powerful, but now that Lu Xun, who heard that the general of the commanding army is just unknown, suddenly became extremely disappointed, and at the same time felt that Li Yuan was belittling them.

"Meng Qi don't talk nonsense, Wen Zhong is not such a person." Ma Teng quickly stopped Ma Chao, he knew Ma Chao's impulsive personality, if he was allowed to continue talking, he might offend Xu Shu, and it would be bad if the two armies were at odds. up.

"Dare to ask this general Gao's name?" Xu Shu guessed that this person was Ma Chao, but in order to make sure that he guessed correctly, he asked the other person's name first.

"Xiliang Ma Chao." Ma Chao reported his name, but did not give Xu Shu a good look.

"Mr. Xu, don't mind. Quan'er's personality is like this. He didn't mean to target you." Ma Teng quickly explained that he was worried that Xu Shu would think that Ma Chao was targeting him.

"General Ma Chao's words are wrong. As Old General Ma said just now, my lord General Li and General Ma are life-and-death friends. How could he look down on you? Even better than the five tiger generals, that's why he was reused by my lord. He took Hanzhong back from Zhuge Liang in less than two months after he dispatched troops from Xiangyang, how can such a talented person be incompetent?" Xu Shu has seen it before A person with Lu Xun's ability, in his opinion, Zhuge Liang was already very powerful, but he was still defeated by Lu Xun, so he tried his best to defend Lu Xun.

Ma Chao said proudly: "So what, Zhuge Liang is also an unknown idiot, and I can easily defeat him."

Xu Shu shook his head helplessly, thinking that Ma Chao was as defiant as the rumors said, and he didn't take anyone seriously. This arrogance might kill him sooner or later.

"Meng Qi, don't be rude in front of Mr. Xu." Ma Teng turned to Xu Shu and said, "Mr. Xu, let's go see General Lu first." So Xu Shu took Ma Teng and others to the camp of the Chinese army.

All the important generals who participated in the battle have arrived. Lu Xun received Ma Teng and others very politely. When Ma Teng saw Lu Xun, he was very surprised because Lu Xun was so young and completely different from what he imagined. Although unknown, he should be a veteran in the battlefield, otherwise, how could he be entrusted with important tasks by Li Yuan, but after meeting, he found that Lu Xun was much younger than expected, and he had no killing spirit. If he took off his armor, he would be a scholar , I thought how such a person could lead the three armies to attack the city.

Before Ma Teng could speak, Ma Chao couldn't help but said, "You are that Lu Xun? How could Li Yuan use a scholar to lead the three armies?" When Ma Chao said this, Li Tong, Jiang Qin and Gao Shun all revealed their truth. Expression, no matter how young Lu Xun is, they shouldn't talk like that.

Lu Xun was not angry at all when he heard Ma Chao's words, but smiled and said: "This general is somewhat similar to old general Ma. He looks tall and mighty, so he must be Xiliang Jin Ma Chao."

"Fortunately, you have some vision, it's me." Ma Chao puffed out his chest proudly.

"Dare to ask General Ma Chao, who stipulated that the generals who command the army must be strong and strong in martial arts, and who stipulated that scholars cannot be generals?" Lu Xun asked Ma Chao with two questions in a row. He opened his mouth and couldn't answer for a long time, because no one stipulated that the general who commanded the army must be highly skilled in martial arts, and no one stipulated that scholars could not command the armed forces.

Ma Tie saw that his elder brother Ma Chao was deflated, so he stood up and retorted: "Hmph, if the general in charge of the army is not good at martial arts, how can he convince the soldiers and lead them to win the battle?"

"What is the name of this little general?" Lu Xun saw that Ma Tie was very young, probably a few years younger than him, although he called him a little general.

"I am Ma Tie, Ma Chao's third younger brother." Ma Tie reported his name and identity.

"So it's General Ma Chao's third younger brother," Lu Xun felt amused in his heart. It seems that the Ma family's reputation in Xiliang is too high. Ma Chao's brothers are all arrogant people, and he will take a good look at their prestige today. Otherwise, it would be bad for him to command the whole army. He walked up to Ma Tie, fixed his eyes on the opponent, and put pressure on him to a certain extent, "Dare to ask the little general, who is better in martial arts, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, or Han Xin, the soldier? "
