    Cheng Gongying looked calm, shook his head lightly and spoke.

    "General Ma, calm down. Beigong Jiyu is preparing troops and horses from the Xiqiang tribe. In order to deal with the war in Xiliang, Beigong Jiyu has strictly forbidden each tribe to leave the tribe without permission. Therefore, it can be seen that this can never be done by the Qiang people.  .

    " If Cheng's guess is correct, it is most likely that Wen Bufan ordered his soldiers and horses to disguise themselves as Qiang people, hurt King Hanyang, and then put the blame on the Qiang people.  The purpose is to make the Holy One express his anger towards us and to give up any thought of reconciliation.  In this way, Wen Bufan can start a war with us without any scruples.  "

    "What a vicious method! This Wen Bufan has always been honest and upright in his actions, but I didn't expect that he is also a cunning and cunning person!"

    Ma Chao reacted immediately to Cheng Gongying's reminder.  Cheng Gongying saw this and secretly thought that this Ma family lion is still too immature. It is the autumn of troubled times. If you want to survive, intrigues are inevitable, not to mention the battles between forces?

    "General Ma, it seems that it is impossible to rely on the imperial court to delay the war. But fortunately, Cheng made another plan earlier. Jiyu from Beigong sent someone to send an urgent report, saying that Ke Bo, the king of Beiqiang,  Wushui has promised to send troops to jointly carry out a great cause. Three days ago, a hundred thousand Northern Qiang troops set off from Beiqiang and marched towards Bingzhou, the hinterland of Wen Bufan. Wen Bufan was caught off guard by the chaos in Bingzhou. This was a great opportunity for our army to launch a large-scale attack.  opportunity!"

    As soon as Cheng Gongying finished speaking, Ma Chao's eyes widened, his aura suddenly increased, and he asked urgently.

    "Military advisor, the implication is that our Xiliang army is ready to march into Guangwei and fight Wen Bufan to the death!"

    Cheng Gongying's eyes shone brightly, and he spoke in a concentrated voice.

    "With our continuous policy support and the joint assistance of wealthy families in various counties, except for Wuwei and Zhangye counties, which are slightly unstable, the people of Tianshui, Nan'an, Longxi, and Jincheng counties have been determined, and in these four counties, major cities  The wealthy families have aroused the people's desire to resist the enemy, and because of General Ma's policies such as opening granaries to relieve the people and reducing taxes, their popularity has increased a lot. The current situation is the time to raise troops.

    " However, Wuwei and Zhangye counties have been the main areas for recruiting troops in recent years, so the public resentment is the highest. General Ma needs to be more careful about the people in these two counties before raising his troops. It is best to subsidize Wan Dan Shi to calm the people.  "

    Following Cheng Gongying¡¯s analysis, Ma Chao¡¯s face was overjoyed at first, then frowned.

    "Military advisor, the last time we opened the granary, the army has become cautious about the food and grass. If we draw Wandancao again, we may be able to maintain the war with Wen Bufan. Once there is a shortage of grass, the morale of the army will be messed up. This war will affect the entire Liangzhou."  , how can we divide food and grass again and become the root of defeat!"

    "General Ma, if Bingzhou is in chaos, with the Xiliang army currently numbering 160,000, within February, they will be able to defeat Wen Bufan's 80,000 troops and drive him out of Liangzhou. With the food currently in the army, even if it is divided again  Ten thousand Dan is enough to last more than three months. Wuwei and Zhangye counties are in the hinterland of Liangzhou. If there is a rebellion, and we are fighting Wen Bufan's army on the front line, how can we be invincible? "

    Cheng Gongying bowed his hands and chanted in a deep voice.  Ma Chao's expression kept changing. Didn't he know the truth behind Cheng Gongying's words? But he not only just wanted to knock Wen Han's army out of Liangzhou, but he also wanted to pursue the victory and capture the entire Yongzhou!

    Ma Chao remained silent. Cheng Gongying seemed to see what Ma Chao was thinking and tried to persuade him again.

    "If Bingzhou is in chaos, Wen Bufan will undoubtedly be defeated in Liangzhou. After suffering these two heavy losses, it will be impossible to restore the general situation within three years. General Ma has three years to conquer Yongzhou. General Ma, if you want to achieve great things,  Why rush?"

    As soon as Cheng Gongying said something, Ma Chao immediately narrowed his eyes. This Cheng Gongying's eyes were really vicious. In front of him, Ma Chao seemed to have no place to hide in his thoughts.

    At the same time, Ma Teng¡¯s words from the past reappeared in Ma Chao¡¯s mind. Coincidentally, at that time, Ma Teng also advised Ma Chao not to rush for quick success and give Liangzhou time to recover. At that time, Ma Teng even suggested that Ma Chao wait for ten years!

    Ma Chao's mind was spinning, and it was best to decide to follow Cheng Gongying's advice first.

    "The advice of the military advisor is very reasonable. I will follow the military advisor and give another 10,000 pieces of grass to support Wuwei and Zhangye counties!"

    "General Ma understands the great righteousness, which is really a blessing to the people of Liangzhou!"

    Cheng Gongying bowed deeply and felt slightly comforted by Ma Chao's obedient attitude towards him.  Ma Chao is still young. It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Cheng Gongying was worried before. Ma Chao lacks experience, does not know the danger, and acts recklessly.  But now it seems that although Ma Chao is young, he has already shown his mastery.

    Cheng Gongying and Ma Chao discussed for a while and made decisions on the urgent matters at hand. After that, Cheng Gongying retreated and began to make arrangements.  In addition to Beigong Jiyu's 40,000 Qiang soldiers, the 140,000 army had assembled earlier than Didao, and preparations for baggage and armaments had also been completed.

      The matter of raising troops to Guangwei was finalized, and the Xiliang army immediately became turbulent. Ma Chao sent his general Pang De and his younger brother Ma Dai to lead an army of 60,000 as the vanguard. He also ordered the prefects of Nan'an and Tianshui to prepare food and grass for supply.  .

    Pang De and Ma Dai led an army of 60,000 troops and rushed all the way. Five days later, they rushed to Pingxiang, Guangwei. Pingxiang was guarded by Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao ordered his soldiers to fly to report to Wenhan, and at the same time led his troops to resist the enemy and set up formations in the field.  Ma Dai, the vanguard of Xiliang Prefecture, led an army of 15,000 in a mighty manner, coming from all over the mountains and plains.

    Ma Dai wielded a precious sword, rode his horse out of the formation, and ordered the generals in the formation to answer. Liao raised Fang Tian's painted halberd, rode his horse like the wind, and went out to answer the question.

    "Zhang Wenyuan is here, who are you? Please tell me your name quickly!"

    Zhang Liao waved Fang Tian's painted halberd, his whole body was domineering and powerful, and he was powerful to the soldiers of Xiliang.  When Ma Dai heard Zhang Liao's name, his heart skipped a beat. Zhang Liao fought in the north and shocked Xiliang.  The famous generals of Xiliang who died under him were all famous, including Yan Xing, the "first warrior of Xiliang".

    "This is the captain of Wuping under the command of Ma Zhengxi, Ma Dai, Ma Bozhan! Do you dare to fight Zhang Wenyuan?"

    Although Ma Dai was still frightened, how could he retreat from the battle in front of the army at this time.  Ma Dai took a step forward on his horse and shouted loudly. Liao Hu's eyes narrowed and he did not answer, but his mount quickly charged up.

    The peerless weapon Fang Tianhua halberd flew through the air, and Zhang Liao rushed to Ma Dai like a gust of wind and fire.  Ma Dai hurriedly raised his sword, made a violent sound, and his arms suddenly swelled.

    Zhang Liao looked slightly shocked. Although Ma Dai was young, his strength was astonishing. Any ordinary first-rate general would not be his enemy.  But what kind of person is Zhang Liao? Fang Tian pressed his halberd fiercely and immediately suppressed Ma Dai's sword.  Ma Dai quickly leaned over and avoided Fang Tian's painted halberd.

    Ma Dai narrowly avoided the attack and just stood up after sheathing his sword. Unexpectedly, Zhang Liao hurriedly grabbed the halberd, and the halberd came from behind. Ma Dai broke out in a cold sweat and raised his sword to block the loud noise. Ma Dai's tiger's mouth was shattered.  The sword in his hand was almost out of hand, Liao smiled coldly, Fang Tian danced his halberd continuously, and struck out five consecutive attacks in an instant.  Ma Dai resisted fiercely and was killed by Zhang Liao, unable to fight back.

    As soon as the five consecutive attacks passed, Ma Dai knew that he was not Zhang Liao's enemy and wanted to escape.  But how could Zhang Liao fulfill Ma Dai's wish? Fang Tian drew his halberd and attacked continuously. Ma Dai resisted while paying attention to the opportunity. When he saw Zhang Liao was about to strike with a halberd, Ma Dai flicked the horse's head, raised his sword to block it, and took advantage of the opportunity to escape.  .

    "Little Ma, those who run away are not heroes!"

    Zhang Liao laughed and cursed from behind, but Ma Dai just tried to save his life and fled into the formation. Seeing this, Liao hurriedly ordered his soldiers to attack. The Xiliang army was in chaos and fled in a hurry. Liao led his army to pursue and kill Ma Dai's army five miles away  Outside, numerous soldiers and horses were captured, and the troops were temporarily withdrawn.

    Ma Dai was defeated for a while and lost three thousand soldiers and horses. The front army was blocked by Zhang Liao.  When Ma Dai was impatient and restless, soldiers came to report, and Pang De led an army of 45,000 to arrive.  Ma Dai rushed to meet Pang De, and when he heard about his defeat, Ma Dai realized that his opponent was Zhang Wenyuan, and his eyes trembled with fighting spirit.

    It can be seen that among Ma Teng's soldiers, Ma Dai's martial arts skills are only inferior to Ma Chao and Pang De.  Ma Dai also entered the ranks of super warriors half a year ago and realized the ultimate move of phase.  However, Ma Dai is still young, and his own potential is not as impressive as Ma Chao, so how can he be Zhang Liao's opponent in killing Yan Xing.

    "Don't worry, Bo Zhan. Let's fight with me tomorrow. If I can defeat Zhang Wenyuan, you can stay aside. If I can only be on an equal footing with him, you can come to my aid at the right time. Join hands with me and we will defeat this man!"  "

    For Zhang Liao, Pang De did not dare to trust him. After giving instructions to Ma Dai, he prepared for the battle tomorrow.  Tomorrow at noon, Pang De and Ma Dai led nearly 60,000 troops to press in front of Zhang Liao's stronghold. Zhang Liao was not afraid after hearing this, so he led 10,000 troops to attack and resist the enemy.

    Pang De slapped his horse and flew out of the formation. He raised his lion-headed machete and pointed at Zhang Liao who was wearing rotten silver armor in the formation, and shouted loudly.

    "I am Pang Lingming, the general of Yiwu Zhonglang under the command of General Zhengxi! Zhang Wenyuan, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

    When Zhang Liao saw Pang De's red face and beautiful beard, his muscular back and waist, and his majesty, he was quite similar to Guan Gong. He immediately thought of Pang Lingming, the heroic general who desperately rescued Ma Teng in the dragnet set by Xinping Yu Li You.

    When Pang De finished his words and Zhang Liao learned that it was this person, his eyes flashed with thunder, and his fighting spirit surged. He immediately rode out into battle and shouted in response.

    "Why don't you dare! Pang Lingming, let me, Zhang Wenyuan, take your head!"

    Zhang Liao whipped his horse and raised his halberd and went straight towards Pound to kill him. Pound also galloped forward with his horse and waved his sword to meet him.  At the same time, Ma Dai rushed out of the battle and stood not far behind Pang De.

    In the midst of the lightning and fire, Fang Tian's painted halberd and the lion's head machete collided with each other. V Liao's face changed in shock, secretly thinking that it was so powerful. Deyi frowned, shocked and fierce.

    Fang Tian drew his painted halberd and lion-headed machete almost at the same time, as if turned into a lightning movie, colliding with each other rapidly, violent sparks splashed out, Zhang Liao and Pang De both danced their weapons tightly, and fought for nearly twenty rounds in an instant.

    Zhang Liao's tiger's eyes were constantly focused, as if he was fighting extremely happily. His moves were getting faster and faster, and they were more fierce. The same was true for De. His fighting spirit was astonishing, and he used all his strength to overwhelm Zhang Liao's people.  Onlookers at the scene were all amazed by the two men's martial arts skills.

    It¡¯s twenty again.

    Suddenly, Zhang Liao's momentum exploded, and a strong bloody aura seemed to burst out from his whole body, as if people saw a bloody field full of corpses.  Two years ago, he arrived on the battlefield where he fought against the 'Unparalleled General' Lu Fengxian.
