Outside the county, with the support of Zhao Yun and the tiger and leopard cavalry who came, they successfully retreated.

Seeing countless Cao Jun evacuating safely, Ma Chao snorted coldly.

"Zhao Yun!"

He was a little shocked in his heart, and he didn't expect that the gap between himself and Zhao Yun would be so big.

More importantly, he used three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to keep Cao Jun alone, and Zhao Yun, the general of Cao Jun, dragged him down with just a few random moves.

"General!"

The soldier on the side came forward.

"Are we still chasing?

Ma Chao gave him a cold look and said sarcastically.

"Chase?"

"What's the use of chasing the past now, eating Cao Jun's ass? 39

"Useless things, everyone withdraws to the county!

Although he won the city of Xian County, he did not feel any joy in his heart, instead he felt a little ugly.

In the short confrontation with Cao Jun, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had an advantage, it did not get any advantage.

He just watched Cao Jun slip away in front of him, how could this make him feel good.

When Ma Chao brought the crowd back to Xian County, there was already someone outside the city waiting for him.

"General!"

Seeing Ma Chao coming, he bowed respectfully and shouted.

He raised his head lightly, without revealing any emotion in his eyes, which was extremely profound.

"I wonder if the general can detect anything in this pursuit?"

Ma Chao shook his hand viciously and said with a hint of anger.

"I wanted to pursue that Hezhao, but the army led the army to the front, and I was less than fifty paces away from Hezhao "Nine Two Seven"""

"Have you ever expected to kill a thousand tigers and leopards halfway through, and the leader of the army is still Zhao Yun!"

"He doesn't fight with me, he just wants to dodge. In this pursuit, no one was killed!"

"Zhongda, tell me what the hell did this King Wei plan to do!

Until now, Ma Chao still had an unhappy expression, obviously he had no experience of the previous battle.

Sima Yi smiled slightly.

"The general doesn't need to be annoyed, at least our army has discovered the truth of the Sizhou border."

He glanced at Sima Yi lightly, and asked lightly.

"What falsehood?"

Because he was deflated in Zhao Yun's hand just now, he is not in a good mood now.

He, Ma Chao, has never suffered such a loss in the competition among the Qiangdi and even the Hu people in Xiliang.

When talking with Sima Yi, he kept thinking about Zhao Yun's last shot before leaving.

This shot made his hands go numb, how he could not remember how he was eager to attack at that time, revealing such a flaw.

But the people who can hit the flaws with one shot in such a short time are all people with extraordinary martial arts.

Sima Yi didn't speak in a hurry when he saw Ma Chao's restless appearance, but waited for a while.

It wasn't until Ma Chao's eyes turned to Sima Yi again that he said with a light smile.

"At least the defenses of the counties around Cao Weisi Prefecture are empty."

"This is the truth of Sizhou, and now they don't have any defenders in Sizhou! 39

Ma Chao nodded, showing a trace of indifference.

Obviously he didn't understand the meaning, what he wanted more was to fight that Zhao Yun again to prove his strength.

Sima Yi continued.

"At least, we won't encounter any resistance before we attack Chang'an.

"According to the strength of Cao Wei in Sizhou, we cannot stop our army.

He looked at Ma Chao on the side and continued to laugh.

"We can even occupy all the previous counties based on Weishui!"

After hearing this, Ma Chao's expression finally changed, showing a hint of surprise.

Then he smiled lightly.

"That's fine. I just fought against the Cao army's elite tiger and leopard cavalry, and found that the combat power is only the same, and it is a little inferior in front of my Xiliang iron cavalry."

"I would like to see how capable Cao Jun, whom everyone avoids, is capable of."

Just occupying a few cities is not the slightest temptation for him, Sizhou is his goal.

Looking at the county in his hands now, his eyes once again revealed a hint of ambition.

"Very good, we will send troops again tomorrow!"

Sima Yi on the side frowned slightly.

"General, I'm afraid it's not very good, it's not good if you are ambushed by the enemy.

"How about waiting for the army to come and think about it?

Facing Sima Yi's words, Ma Chao raised a hand indifferently.

"Don't wait for them!"

"Since Sizhou has no troops now, it should take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

"Just a thousand tigers and leopards is no match for my Xiliang iron cavalry!

His eyes showed incomparable confidence, how could he be called "General Shenweitian" among the Qiang Di Hu people in Xiliang, how could he not have any ability.

Sima Yi on the side was trying to dissuade him, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Ma Chao's words were also very reasonable.

If you wait for two days, the reinforcements from Sizhou may have arrived.

It would be better to seize the time of these two days and pursue the victory.

As a result, he did not continue to dissuade him. Zuo Yi nodded and watched Ma Chao enter the city.

At this time, he looked at Si Zhou with a wicked look.

In the past, when he was still in Xudu, Cao Cao personally wanted to invite him to be an official, but he did not want to accept it.

All this was rejected by a person beside Cao Cao, and that person seemed to have a trace of killing intent towards him.

That person is the current King of Wei, Cao Yang!

Just seeing him, Sima Yi felt a little chill in his heart, as if everything about him was seen through by Cao Yang.

He was so frightened at the time that he left Xudu and even all the areas under the jurisdiction of Cao Cao overnight, and went directly to Ma Teng in Xiliang.

I didn't expect that there would be such a day when he led troops and horses to attack Cao Yang.

Then he shook his head and left these old things behind, looking at Sizhou in front of him.

Today's Cao Jun is so strong, he should not be afraid of the Xiliang army, and there is no reason to face the retreat of the Xiliang army.

Therefore, Sima Yi almost concluded that Sizhou must have no troops in the rear defense.

Cao Jun will abandon the city and flee after defending the city to no avail.

Sima Yi smiled lightly and shook his head, even if the soldiers came, he could just break through the city gate and take it.

Now that the Xiliang soldiers are strong and fierce, if there is a war, he will not be afraid.

A place in Chang'an City.

Several dark guards came to deliver the news.

"My lord, Ma Chao has now led more than 20,000 people to occupy the county, including 3,000 Xiliang cavalry."

Zhuge Liang on the side said with a smile.

"Everything is going according to what the lord expected, it seems that Xiliang is completely unaware of our intentions.

Guo Jia also nodded, looking at Cao Yang and said.

"Now the other counties outside the Weishui River have all been evacuated, and the cities outside the Weishui River have become empty cities."

Hearing this, Cao Yang nodded, and there was a strange look in his eyes, and he looked towards the dark guard.

"Has there been any movement in Qiang Di recently?"

Obviously, Qiang Di is the most important thing for Cao Yang these days.

The dark guard shook his head and said.

“Changdi has not made any other moves recently. 35

After speaking, Cao Yang waved his hand with a thoughtful expression.

"Continue to investigate the news!"

The two on one side showed curiosity and looked at each other. Although they knew what Cao Yang's intentions were, they couldn't guess what Cao Yang was thinking.

At this time, Zhuge Liang asked.

"My lord, is there any other arrangement?"

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment and looked at his two military advisors.

Now that he has transformed into the King of Wei, the position of military advisor is naturally handed over to them.

"Arrangements, what more arrangements are there?

Guo Jia nodded and asked.

"Now that Ma Chao occupies a city, he will definitely rise up tomorrow to attack and occupy other counties. Does the lord have no other arrangements?"

From their point of view, a wily talent like Cao Yang will make incomparably mysterious moves every step of the way.

However, Cao Yang was a little puzzled, looked at the two of them lightly and said.

"Isn't the arrangement already made today?"

"Since the soldiers and even the people of other counties and counties have withdrawn to the other side of the Wei River, let him occupy the remaining cities."

"We don't have to ignore them.35

Looking at the two, Cao Yang continued.

"There is nothing worth discussing these days. Let's wait until Ma Teng's army comes to think about it."5

"Staying still is the best strategy right now!

"Now is not the best time to wait. 0"

"You two don't need to think too much."

After speaking, Cao Yang got up and left the study.

Today's Cao Cao has completely handed over power to Cao Yang, but he is just doing nothing and enjoying himself quietly.

This made Cao Yang very surprised. Originally, he thought that at most his power was the same as Cao Cao.

However, Cao Cao took the initiative to let down all these powers. Although he was still in the position of the prime minister, he did not interfere in everything.

This is Cao Cao's attitude now, it seems that he has really handed over all the power to Cao Yang.

He let out a slight sigh and glanced at Cao Cao who was training calligraphy in the courtyard. He did not disturb him and left quietly.

the next day.

Ma Chao led the army to attack the surrounding counties one by one, and all the cities fell into the hands of Ma Chao.

Until the fourth county was attacked, he couldn't help but directly stationed in the same place.

At this moment, Ma Chao's expression was extremely ugly. The cities he captured were without exception, and they were all empty cities.

There are not many people even living in it, and it seems that they fled to the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an overnight.

All these counties have their gates open, the streets are empty, and Ma Chao has no desire to continue to capture.

Originally, he just thought that the surrounding troops were a little empty, but he didn't expect that there was no troops at all.

Cao Jun even gave up all these cities, which made Ma Chao's fists clenched into the air with great difficulty.

"Everyone, stay where you are! 99

"You go and inform Sima Yi that he will come here with the rest of the soldiers, food and grass to be stationed here!"

"Also, come with 10,000 troops to search the surrounding counties and counties."

There was a trace of boredom in Ma Chao's eyes. For him, Cao Jun's giving him these empty cities was no different from humiliation.

It was also because of the short confrontation with Cao Jun that he held back his breath and did not get to vent.

After that, Sima Yi quickly came here first.

"General!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ma Chao sighed slightly and looked at him and asked.

"When will Father's army arrive?"

Sima Yi thought a little and said.

"Probably today and tomorrow.

And Ma Chao asked with sharp eyes.

"perhaps?"

Looking at Ma Chao's expression, Sima Yi was obviously used to it.

He said calmly and calmly.

"The march of the 100,000-strong army will naturally be slower. If there is a landslide or heavy rain on the road, 1.3 may be delayed for two days.

"But no scout pioneer came to report, this is my personal guess."

Looking at Ma Chao in front of him, he can already fully guess that Ma Chao can't wait to lead the army to fight against Cao Jun.

As for Ma Chao's temper, Sima Yi already knew all about it, and persuaded softly. .

"The general need not be in a hurry.

"Then Cao's army relies on the danger of Wei River to defend, even if a large army arrives for a while, it will not be able to cross the water and fight.

"Today's Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and generals must not be impulsive."

Ma Chao glanced at Sima Yi and showed a smile.

"Zhongda, you still understand what I mean. 55

He casually threw the scroll in his hand to one side and walked towards the school grounds.

At this time, Sima Yi carefully read the scroll in his hand, and then laughed lightly.

For him, Xiliang is the best choice, Ma Teng and Ma Chao are not resourceful people, and the soldiers here are strong.

There are no other advisors under Xiliang, only Sima Zhongda!

Although he does not have a prominent position in Xiliang now, after he has obtained the complete trust of Ma Teng and Ma Chao.

At that time, it is only necessary to make a small calculation to let Ma Chao and Ma make some small accidents.

The surname of the lord of Xiliang is Ma or Sima.

Sima Yi neatly placed the scroll in his hand to one side, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
