"Lord, there is new news. Ma Chao has abandoned Pingxiang and led his troops directly to Ji County. General Ziyi took a detour to Nan'an." Xu Shu rubbed his hands and handed the newly arrived bamboo slip to Chen Mo: "This person is Ma Chao.

, but in his prime, General Ziyi failed to capture it, so it seems that he does have some ability."

"Not everyone can win the title of the most powerful general in Xiliang." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this. He was not surprised that Ma Chao could compete with Taishi Ci without losing.

In terms of bravery or commanding troops to fight, anyone who can be called the most powerful general in Xiliang will not be too bad. In other words, in this land, anyone who can rule the roost has enough military skills.

Hua Xiong, Lu Bu, and Gongsun Zan were all like this, so Chen Mo was not surprised that Ma Chao was able to kill Zhao Cen and draw with Tai Shi Ci.

"However, the vanguard army is slower than the main force. Ma Chao's prestige among the Ma Chao and Korean coalition forces may be damaged this time." Xu Shu said with a smile.

This is also the result Chen Mo wants. If not, how can he provoke a fight within the Maldives-Korean coalition? Do you really think that all of his 20,000 people can defeat ten? When Chen Mo dared to use 20,000 people to fight against the Maldives-Korean coalition, he was right.

They seem to be in harmony internally, but they can divide and disintegrate.

"Inform Cui Geng that if Ma Chao comes, he only needs to guard the city and protect the grain roads. Don't come into contact with him easily." Chen Mo looked at the map and said in a deep voice.

No matter what, Ma Chao cannot be underestimated. If he cuts off his retreat while his army is outside, then there will be no need to fight this battle.

"According to the information from all parties, Han Sui moved his family from Jincheng to Lingju at the beginning of the year. At the same time, he also relaxed his efforts to attract and control the candidates, Cheng Yi and other generals with heavy troops. My lord,

Han Sui seems to be preparing a way out for himself." Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo and asked, "Could it be that he would rather retreat to the Western Regions than surrender to the imperial court?"

"It's not that we don't want to surrender." Chen Mo looked at the map. Although Lingju is also in Xiliang, and there are even Zhangye and Dunhuang further to the west, these places are actually no longer under the control of the Han Dynasty.

: "Han Sui, known as Han Jiuqu, is fickle and fickle. Those who ally with him seem to have no good end. Such a person will not trust anyone. He knows that even if he surrenders, I will not trust him."

, so he has to prepare a way out for himself. If he loses this battle, Han Sui will choose to surrender to the court, but he will not surrender. The same goes for Ma Teng. The benefit we can get is that all the land in Longxi belongs to me."

"Then..." Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo. This should not be what Chen Mo wanted. Even if the two of them surrendered to the court, as long as they still have military power in their hands, they don't even need military power. As long as these two people are still here, they can be reborn.

The incident made Chen Mo's rear unstable.

Whether it is the Ma family or Han Sui, they have been operating in this area for more than ten years and have a high influence among the Qiang people. As long as they stay here, it will be difficult for Chen Mo to really calm down in the rear.

.

Chen Mo came to Hebei County in person this time, obviously not just for the sake of Longxi, but to completely eliminate future troubles.

"So Ma Teng may be allowed to stay, but Han Jiuqu..." Chen Mo shook his head. The other party had already begun to prepare a retreat before the war started. They even secretly sent people to make peace with Chen Mo. He didn't say anything, but he sent a lot of gifts.

It was a precious gift, but it was precisely because of this that Chen Mo felt that Han Sui could not keep it.

There are smart people in the court who are on the opposite side of Chen Mo, even smarter than Han Sui, but these people at least have some bottom line in doing things, but Han Sui's bottom line is currently only one that Chen Mo sees, and that is his own interests. As long as

It is beneficial to him. He will not care if everyone in the world dies. Even if such a person is brought back to Chang'an, Chen Mo will find it hard to rest assured.

"This man is as cunning as a fox. It is difficult to kill him." Chen Mo did not finish his words, but Xu Shu understood that a person who is resourceful enough but has no moral integrity or bottom line is the most terrifying person, but such a person should be wary

He is very sexual and leaves himself with escape routes everywhere. It is not easy to kill him.

"Let's win this battle first and then see!" Chen Mo nodded. At present, he had no way to get rid of Han Sui, but now this battle must be won.

The curtain was opened, and Dian Wei walked in with a chill. He saluted Chen Mo and said, "My lord, Ma Teng is leading his army to fight outside the camp!"

"Oh?" Chen Mo was a little surprised when he heard this, nodded and said: "Let's go and have a look."

The Malayan-Korean coalition forces have set up camp since they arrived at Luomen. They seem to be waiting for the army to gather and have no intention of taking action. I wonder why they suddenly came to challenge them today?

At that moment, the three of them left the camp and went straight to the camp gate. They saw a group of Qiang soldiers forming up and shouting outside the camp.

"It should be a test!" Xu Shu looked at the formation of the Qiang army. There were not many, more than two thousand people. The formation of the Qiang soldiers was chaotic. It was difficult to count the number of people at a glance like the Han army. Only a burly man was seen.

He stood alone in front of the formation, talking to the camp in Qiang language.

"What did he say?" Chen Mo turned his head and looked at Yang Ding and Liang Xing.

"Back to my lord, that man is inviting a fight." Liang Xing bowed.

"Fighting general?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. There are still people using this ancient fighting method?

"My lord, I don't know. The Qiang people are the most powerful warriors. When two armies confront each other, fighting between generals is a common occurrence among the Qiang tribes. If there are brave people here, even the enemy will be greatly punished.

Respectfully." Liang Xing smiled.

Why does Ma Chao have such great prestige among the Qiang people? Not only does Ma Chao fight bravely, but also because he has never been defeated in battles with the Qiang people.

"The courage of an ordinary man!" Xu Shu shook his head and said. In the Central Plains, this kind of thing can be traced back to hundreds of thousands of years ago. Nowadays, more emphasis is placed on combat methods and military formations. This kind of one-on-one battle between generals determines the two armies.

The matter of victory or defeat seemed to Xu Shu to be a child's play. If it were placed in the Central Plains, people would laugh to death.

"Dian Wei, go and teach him how to be a good man!" Chen Mo looked at the Qiang warrior showing off his power and turned to look at Dian Wei.

"Here!" Dian Wei agreed excitedly after hearing this. He felt that the customs of the Qiang people were really good, and a general like Dian Wei could be most useful here.

"Remember, if the opponent is fighting here, then fight them. But if the opponent leaves, don't chase them. Just come back." Chen Mo was still worried that Ma Teng was cheating. After all, fighting with generals is not a good thing.

It feels a bit stupid, but Ma Teng is not a stupid person: "Also, try if you can inspire the horse to fight."

If Ma Teng could be captured alive or killed, half of the battle would have been won before it even started.

"Don't worry, my lord!" Dian Wei patted his chest and said, "The last general is the most stable! Just let the last general go."

"Go quickly!" Chen Mo waved his hand, saying nothing.

"Here!" Dian Wei responded again, led a group of soldiers and horses out of the camp, and jumped out directly. Seeing the Qiang general approaching with an arrogant look and waving a sword, Dian Wei took out a sword from his pocket.

The small halberd was thrown directly at the opponent. The opponent had no time to react and was pierced through the neck by the small halberd. He looked at Dian Wei in shock.

"Get down!" Dian Weice immediately stepped forward, slapped the opponent on the head and pushed him off his horse. He rode his horse to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly at the enemy formation: "Ma Teng, since we want to fight generals,

What's the point of calling these losers here? Do you dare to fight in person!?"

There was a commotion in the Qiang army array opposite. Dian Wei's use of concealed weapons was somewhat irregular, which made the Qiang people quite unhappy. As he was talking, two Qiang generals rushed out howling, one wielding a spear and the other wielding a stick, and they rushed towards

Dian Wei comes.

"Get lost!" Although Dian Wei didn't recognize Ma Teng, these two strange-looking things were obviously not him. It was said that Ma Teng looked majestic and had magnificent weapons, but these two Qiang people who were covered in lumps couldn't compare.

, suddenly sprang out, with two iron halberds hanging in the wind, making two clanging sounds, knocking the two people's weapons away, and then before the two men could recover, two more halberds chopped off the heads of the two people.

Behind Dian Wei, a group of Guanzhong generals cheered loudly and excitedly. Although this fighting general was a little unwise, if he won, it would indeed be a strong boost to morale.

But among the generals of the three armies, who would go to fight against generals without any trouble? Not all generals who can lead an army are as brave as Dian Wei. Looking at the world, there are probably not many generals who can lead an army in battle and kill generals in front of the battle.

.

Dian Wei killed three generals in a row. He was excited and circled in front of the two armies. At the same time, he shouted: "Ma Teng, since you are here to fight the generals, why let these losers die? You come to fight in person and ask me to see Fubo."

How incompetent is the general!"

In the Qiang army formation, Ma Teng's face turned black. This man's mouth really made people want to rush up, chop off his head and smash his mouth.

"I have to say that Ma Fubo is also a hero, but he can't have a son, and the further he goes, the more useless he becomes. Maybe... your ancestors have someone else!" Seeing that no one came forward, Dian Wei ran to the formation of the two armies.

He laughed loudly, his voice was very harsh.

At the camp gate, Chen Mo rubbed his head, looked at Xu Shu who was holding his forehead next to him and said, "Quick, gather your troops and prepare to rescue people!"

This insult to the ancestors was too much even for the enemy. Even if Ma Teng was a traitor general, Ma Fubo was a famous general of the Han Dynasty after all. To bury him like this...

"What a bully!" As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Ma Teng couldn't bear it anymore. He roared angrily and ordered the army to charge forward. Even if these two thousand men and horses were left here today, he would still kill this barbarian.

His mouth was torn to pieces!

"Well done! Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Dian Wei saw this but was not afraid at all. Seeing the enemy's men and horses rushing towards him, he directly greeted him, regardless of the fact that he only brought 500 men out of the camp, carrying a pair of iron halberds.

Then he rushed towards the enemy's formation, and the pair of iron halberds turned like wheels. Everywhere they passed, they would die if they touched each other. The soldiers in the rear, led by Dian Wei, also had high morale and howled.

Then he followed Dian Wei and rushed in, unstoppable.

Chen Mo's supporting troops have not yet left the camp, but Dian Wei has already led his troops to kill the opponent. The two thousand Qiang people were even more scared by Dian Wei and were chased by Dian Wei.
Chapter completed!
