    In the battle of Wancheng, his 40,000 Xiliang cavalry were defeated by the Jingzhou army with less than 10,000 Yan Liang.

    That humiliating defeat is still fresh in Ma Chao¡¯s memory.

    Ma Chao also cannot forget the embarrassment of fighting Yan Liang and having to run away without deciding the outcome.

    After the defeat that year, Ma Chao once thought that Yan Liang's victory was just a fluke.

    But now, when Yan Liang has conquered several states and defeated powerful enemies in succession, and he himself has been defeated repeatedly, and after escaping from Guanzhong all the way to Yizhou, Ma Chao has to admit in his heart that Yan Liang is indeed a very powerful person.  opponent.

    "I wonder when General Meng Qi plans to send troops to attack the enemy camp in one fell swoop?" At this moment, Wu Yi was anxious to retreat from the enemy.

    Wu Yi¡¯s words interrupted Ma Chao¡¯s thoughts.

    Ma Chao returned in a daze, and snorted coldly: "Yan Liang is just a man, so why bother? It won't be too late to deal with the Yan thief after my Xiliang warriors have rested for a few days."

    Ma Chao¡¯s reasons were very good. Wu Yisui did not dare to say any more. He smiled and said, "General Meng Qi is right. The soldiers are tired from the journey and should take a good rest."

    At that moment, Wu Yisui stopped urging and went back to Fucheng, where he met with Zhang Ren and organized the people of Fucheng to bring wine and meat to work for Ma Chao's army.

    In order to show Liu Zhang's sincerity in surrendering, Ma Chao and his 10,000 Xiliang troops marched day and night without any hesitation.

    Ten thousand tired Xiliang sergeants can finally take a breather and enjoy the comfort of wine and meat.

    When night fell, rough Liangzhou folk songs sounded throughout the camp. The Xiliang soldiers gathered around the campfire, singing and dancing to express their relaxed mood at the moment.

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Ma Chao frowned and drank sullenly.

    After finishing the bowl of wine, Ma Chao sighed subconsciously. In that sigh, there was a hint of helplessness.

    The sound of footsteps sounded, and Ma Chao looked up, but it was his cousin Ma Dai who walked in.

    "Ziyue, you came just in time. Let me have a few bowls with my brother." Yi Chao waved to Ma Dai.

    Ma Chao poured a bowl for Ma Dai and drank it himself.

    Ma Dai sat down, but did not touch the bowl of wine in front of him. He frowned secretly, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated.

    Ma Chao seemed rough, but he was not rough in mind. After drinking heavily, he soon noticed something.

    "Ziyue, do you know what my eldest brother hates most about you? It's that bitch like you, who has something to say but doesn't dare to say it."

    Ma Chao did not save face for his younger brother, and directly exposed Ma Dai's thoughts.

    Ma Dai looked pregnant, and had no choice but to smile awkwardly.

    "If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hesitate and make people upset." Ma Chao drank another bowl of wine.

    Ma Dai sighed and had to say: "Brother, I just want to ask, brother, do you really plan to use the lives of our Xiliang Army soldiers to fight Yan Liang?"

    Ma Chao was slightly shaken and looked up at Ma Dai.

    "Why, Ziyue, are you still afraid of that man named Yan?" Ma Chao's tone was quite disapproving as he poured another bowl of wine.

    Ma Dai hurriedly said: "Who are the sons of our Ma family afraid of? Brother Yu is not afraid of the man named Yan. Brother Yu is just thinking that now we have more than 10,000 brothers left under our command. If one of them dies, one will be lost. With these brothers, we will lose one."  It doesn¡¯t seem worth it to fight for Liu Zhang¡¯s life.¡±

    These words made the half-drunk Ma Chao fall into deep thought.

    ??From Guanzhong to Xiliang, from Xiliang to Hanzhong, from Hanzhong to Xichuan, along the way, the Ma family's Xiliang regiment has become smaller and smaller.

    Now, not only are there only ten thousand Xiliang warriors under his command, but even his father Ma Teng, brother Ma Tie and other Ma family generals have all died in Zhang Lu's hands.

    Today's Ma Chao still has the reputation of a mighty general in Liu Zhang's eyes, and today's return is like providing help in the snow.

    But deep down in his heart, Ma Chao knew that he was desperate, like a bereaved dog, he just hoped to find a place to stay.

    At this point, the remaining 10,000 Xiliang troops were his last source of pride.

    does it worth?

    A huge question mark also flashed in Ma Chao's mind.

    After being at a loss for a moment, Ma Chao's face showed a hint of sneer.

    "If we don't go shopping with Yan Liang, how can we prove our value to Liu Zhang and prove that we are useful?"How can we gain a foothold in Yizhou?  Ziyue, as a general, you should not just look at the small profits in front of you, but also look at the long term.  "

    Ma Chao educated his cousin with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

    Ma Dai felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this. It felt as if he was just a thug at the mercy of others, even willing to sell the lives of his brothers in order to gain help from others.

    "However, it is well known to everyone that Liu Zhang is secretly weak. If we take refuge in such a person who is not even as good as Zhang Lu, can we have a way out in the future?"

    After taking refuge with Zhang Lu, his uncle Ma Teng and all the Ma family brothers were killed, and now they are still living in Xichuan.

    Liu Zhang was inferior to Zhang Lu, and Ma Dai really didn't have much hope for his future after joining Liu Zhang.

    There was a secretive sneer on Ma Chao's lips, and he said disdainfully: "Ziyue, I told you that you are still too young. Do you think that our brotherhood is willing to surrender to Liu Zhang?"

    "Brother, what you mean is" Ma Dai looked stunned, with a look of confusion on his face.

    "As long as we can defeat Yan Liang, we will not only win Liu Zhang's trust and gain a foothold in Yizhou, but also gain great prestige and make the Shu people grateful to us. At that time, we will have to deal with a weak Liu Zhang, and  How difficult.¡±

    Ma Chao revealed his thoughts with a sneer, his tone and expression showing no trace of sinister indifference.

    At this time, Ma Dai couldn't help but suddenly realized that his brother actually had such a conspiracy.

    After Ma Dai reacted, a chill ran down his back.

    "Brother, although Liu Zhang is weak, he has taken us in. If we usurp his inheritance, wouldn't we be laughed at as ungrateful and resentful?" Ma Dai didn't seem to agree with Ma Chao's approach.

    Ma Chao, however, had a sarcastic look on his face and said disapprovingly: "So what if we take away his inheritance? That fellow named Yan just took away the foundation of Liu Biao and Sun Quan. As long as the territory is big enough and the fist is strong enough, no one dares to laugh."

    Ma Chao waved his fist, his expression becoming more and more proud.

    "But brother, don't forget, whether it is Jingzhou or Yangzhou, Yan Liang took it directly and forcefully. He never took refuge in Liu Biao or Sun Quan. But now you and I are taking refuge in Liu Zhang, but in turn want to take it.  For its foundation, Yudi thinks that this is really not fair enough."

    Ma Chao turned around suddenly and glared at Ma Dai. His cousin's words hurt him deeply.

    That sentence "just and aboveboard" seemed to be directly accusing him of despicable methods, which made Ma Chao's ears extremely harsh.

    Ma Chao is on fire.

    He waved his hand fiercely and said sternly: "Ziyue, don't forget, we are Yan Liang, a common man from Hebei who came from a humble background after General Fubo Ma Yuan. If you compare him with us, it is simply an insult to our Ma family!  "

    Ma Dai was choked and couldn't speak out anymore in the face of his angry brother.

    The angry Ma Chao said proudly: "I have decided, taking advantage of the Battle of Fucheng, to avenge the shame of the past, you will immediately issue a challenge to the dog thief named Yan. I, Ma Chao, will follow.  He fights to the death!"

    Ma Dai had no choice but to nod and agree.

    ¡­¡­

    On the same day, a letter of war came out of the Xiliang military camp and went straight to the Yan military camp in the southwest.

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yan Liang, who was neither angry nor happy, as calm as water, soon saw Ma Chao's letter of challenge.

    All the generals had gathered, and Zhang Song read out Ma Chao's letter of war in front of all the generals.

    In his letter of war, Ma Chao satirized Yan Liang's background, denounced Yan Liang's "despicable" behavior, and said that Ma Chao wanted to "do justice for heaven" and get rid of the "big devil" Yan Liang for the people of the world.

    ¡°In short, it was an extremely arrogant and insulting letter of defiance, using as many unpleasant words as possible.

    After Zhang Song finished reciting, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he looked at Yan Liang anxiously, thinking that Yan Liang would be furious.

    On the contrary, instead of being angry, Yan Liang had a playful sneer on his face.

    Yan Liang¡¯s disdainful attitude was like the disdain an adult would have when facing a child calmly but unable to beat him, when he could only use his words to express his disdain.

    The generals in the tent were not as calm as Yan Liang. Each of these passionate men seemed to be exploding, and they all worked hard.

    From Huang Zhong on down, all the generals present were furious and shouted loudly, declaring that they would fight Ma Chao to the death.

    Huan looked at the generals who were full of fighting spirit, and a hint of coldness flashed at the corner of Yan Liang's mouth.

    Anger the generals, ignite their fighting spirit, and make themFighting bravely with anger is exactly what Yan Liang wants.

    "Military advisor, Ma Chao is going to fight Guju to the death. Do you think Guju should accept this challenge?" Yan Liang turned his attention to Pang Tong.

    Pang Tong stroked his beard and said: "Ma Chao has 10,000 soldiers, and he has two generals, Pang De and Ma Dai. Zhang Ren in Fucheng has 20,000 Shu troops. According to the report, there are another 10,000 soldiers and horses, who are coming from  If we come from Chengdu, we will reach Fucheng tomorrow at the latest. This means that the number of enemies in Fucheng who can fight us will reach 40,000. "

    "The Xiliang army is far more elite than the Shu army. Now that Ma Chao has joined, the combat power of these 40,000 Shu army should be far better than the 40,000 Shu army last time." Zhang Song added.

    Finally, Fazheng said: "Even so, Liu Zhang and the Shu people now regard Ma Chao as their savior, and their originally low morale has revived. The more this happens, the more we must defeat Ma Chao and severely damage the Shu people."  Morale, let them recognize the reality and understand that no one can save Liu Zhang from being destroyed. We should fight this battle!"

    Pang Tong and Zhang Song nodded slightly, and the three counselors unanimously agreed to a battle.

    The generals are in high spirits, and the counselors are unanimous in their opinions. At this time, Yan Liang, who already had a fighting spirit, has even more doubts.

    As soon as his eyes were focused, murderous intent suddenly emerged.

    Yan Liang jumped up and shouted: "Although Ma Chao is brave, he can only defeat his generals, so there is nothing to fear. Reply to Ma Chao, if he wants to fight, I will fight!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature for more novel updates.  Good to update faster!)
