After hearing Lu Xun's words, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others on the side frowned, and they never thought that Lu Xun would say these words this time.And Ma Chao was silent about this, and seemed to completely remember Lu Xun's words in his heart and think about something, but Ma Yunlu on the side couldn't help but mourn to Lu Xun: "Lu Xun, how can you be like this, although my brother is brave and fearless, but you must know that Hanzhong is an important place to enter Yizhou, and it is a place where the Shu army is heavily guarded."
This time, you only gave your brother 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can you fight against the enemy army in Hanzhong, you are simply harming your brother in danger. ”In the face of Ma Yunlu's accusation, Lu Xun didn't react at all, and always looked expressionless, just staring at Ma Chao like that.And Ma Chao was silent about Ma Yunlu's words about himself, and after a while, he stared at Lu Xun with a smile, and then only listened to Ma Chao say word by word: "This time to capture Hanzhong, why do you need 10,000 soldiers and horses, Ma Chao only needs 3,000 iron horsemen." ”"What" As soon as Ma Chao opened his mouth, everyone was shocked, you must know that this matter is by no means child's play, no matter how brave Ma Chao is, if he wants to lead three thousand iron horsemen to attack the land of Hanzhong, it is also a fantasy.But when seeing Ma Chao's calm and calm appearance, and the corners of his mouth were raised, everyone knew that the eldest brother Ma Chao was definitely not joking, but very serious and confident.When Lu Xun heard Ma Chao's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, then retracted his surprised expression, looked at Ma Chao and smiled slightly: "General Ma Chao is so confident, it is really gratifying." ”After speaking, Lu Xun looked at Ma Chao again and said: "Okay, since the general opened his mouth this time and gave 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hanzhong, then Lu Xun didn't say much, 3,000 is 3,000, and these 3,000 iron cavalry will be personally selected by General Ma Chao."
Remember that only victory is allowed, not defeat, if it fails, Lu Xun will definitely punish the general by military law. ”Who knows, Ma Chao is not worried at all, but said confidently: "Don't worry, Ma Chao will definitely not be defeated, and he will definitely come back with a big victory." ”After hearing Ma Chao's words, everyone couldn't help but be shocked again, you must know that the three thousand attack on Hanzhong is simply a moth to the fire.But Ma Chao is so calm, this not only requires a certain amount of martial arts, but also requires a lot of self-confidence, after all, not everyone can do it.Seeing Ma Chao's expression of such conviction, everyone also knew Ma Chao's character, and no matter how much persuasion was useless, they could only let Ma Chao do it.That night, Ma Chao came to Guo Jia's mansion alone, and when he saw Guo Jia, Ma Chao smiled and said: "Okay, you Lu Xun, you actually commanded my army like this morning, wanting to provoke me to lead the troops to victory, and didn't give me the steps at all." ”After hearing Ma Chao's words, Lu Xun hurriedly replied with a smile: "Brother's words are wrong, I am just creating an opportunity for my brother at the right time, imagine that if the soldiers in the army heard that the brother really led the three thousand soldiers to defeat the Hanzhong army, their morale would be greatly boosted."
In the future, if His Majesty leads the army to come, he will definitely be excited by the whole army, and he will add a lot of fighting spirit to the next attack on Han Zhongjun. ”When there was no one, Lu Xun's address to Ma Chao was to follow Ma Yunlu's title, and his brother was more cordial.After all, in front of everyone, there is only an official position and no family affection.Seeing Lu Xun's expression, Ma Chao looked at it and didn't speak, and then Ma Chao took a deep breath and said: "Could it be that Lu Xun, you really have confidence in me, I believe that I can defeat the enemy army in Hanzhong with three thousand iron cavalry this time" Hearing Ma Chao's words, Lu Xun said without hesitation: "This is natural, Lu Xun has no doubts about his brother's bravery."
Besides, I believe that when Lu Xun said that he could not give his brother too many troops, my brother still insisted on sending troops to attack Hanzhong, and I knew that my brother had a way. ”After speaking, Lu Xun didn't allow Ma Chao to speak, and then said: "Maybe my brother is puzzled about why Lu Xun only let his brother send a few soldiers and horses to fight this time, but in fact, Lu Xun also has a hard time for all this." ”"When I received a letter from His Majesty leading the troops and horses to personally recruit him, there was an explanation from Lord Guo Sima, saying that let our army confuse the enemy army here, so as to prevent the enemy army from knowing the news of His Majesty's army prematurely.For this problem, Lu Xun thought for a long time, wanting to confuse the enemy, if he kept standing still, it was indeed not a way, only by constantly fighting with the enemy, the two sides were deadlocked, so that the enemy army could be in a state of paralysis. ”Just as Lu Xun was about to inform his brother of this idea, he didn't expect that his brother had already taken the lead in speaking.When Lu Xun heard the news that his brother was going to attack Hanzhong, he was also very excited, if he could take Hanzhong in one fell swoop when our army came, it would really lay a good opportunity for attacking Yizhou in the future.But Lu Xun also thought of a problem, that is, the Yizhou Shu army heard that Lu Xun and his brother led the army to defend here, so they also arranged for many generals to lead the army to guard in Hanzhong, just to resist the attack of our army. ”"From their point of view, with the generals and soldiers and horses of Hanzhong, they will definitely be able to resist the offensive of our army.Therefore, during this period of time in Hanzhong, dozens of small friction battles have been fought with our army, and not many men and horses were dispatched in each battle, ranging from more than 1,000 people to 10,000 people.If the elder brother suddenly leads a large group of men and horses to attack Hanzhong this time, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the enemy army in Hanzhong, and the defense line will be strengthened to resist the elder brother's offensive at that time. ”"It doesn't hurt if the enemy feels that the elder brother has a lot of men, a strong attack, and a lot of pressure.If we send someone to inform Yizhou and ask for reinforcements, then the garrison strength in Hanzhong will inevitably increase a lot, and when our army comes, it will be much more passive when we attack Hanzhong.Therefore, this time my brother's 3,000 iron cavalry attacked Hanzhong, which was actually a battle to harass and paralyze the enemy army, and the purpose was to take advantage of the arrival of His Majesty's army, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, to break the enemy army in one fell swoop and take the entire Hanzhong. ”After hearing Lu Xun's words, Ma Chao immediately said: "Can't we take the lead in capturing the entire Hanzhong when His Majesty's army arrives, even if the enemy army in Hanzhong launches a request for help from Yizhou, but with our strength, no matter how many reinforcements come from Yizhou, we will definitely be able to block their attack in one fell swoop."
As long as we defend with all our strength at that time, we will definitely be able to wait for His Majesty's army to come, and it is not impossible to counterattack. ”Lu Xun immediately shook his head and responded: "I know that my brother is invincible, and with the soldiers of our army, he will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, but it is really difficult to capture the entire Hanzhong in a short period of time." ”After Ma Chao heard Lu Xun's words, he said quite unwillingly: "Could it be that with my Ma Chao's martial arts and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, with Lu Xun's advice, I can't quickly win the entire Hanzhong" Lu Xun replied without hesitation: "Brother is too high to think of Lu Xun's ability, even if Lu Xun has a certain amount of intelligence, but you must know that the advisor who guards Hanzhong is the military advisor Fa Zheng who has ghost plots in Shu State."
This person is especially good at making suggestions, especially good at scheming, and has successively offered a lot of tricks for Shu and Liu Bei.In addition, under his command, he also has a lot of generals and the same number of troops, so it can be said that our two armies are evenly matched.Small wars can be won by opportunistic means, and major wars must be carefully planned and prepared for many days before they have a chance to start a war. ”I didn't expect Lu Xun to rely on the enemy's military division so highly, and Ma Chao naturally knew Lu Xun's ability.Although he was born as a military general, after the battle with Cao Cao led to the destruction of the entire Ma family, Ma Chao also knew that the battle between the enemy and us could not be solved by force alone.It is necessary to have capable people to give advice and advice, so as to reduce unnecessary casualties in the war, and to make decisions on the march and deployment of the whole army.However, after hearing Lu Xun's words this time, Ma Chao suddenly had an idea, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "What Lu Xun said just now is nothing more than that the Fazheng ability is not under you, so you don't act rashly, so as not to fall for the Fazheng's scheme, right?"
Lu Xun said: "That's right, Lu Xun is fighting with the army, and he has fought a few battles, so he must have understood that Fazheng."
If Lu Xun easily commands and sits in the town, it is very likely that he will easily fall for the plan of the Fazheng, as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”After confirming Lu Xun's words this time, Ma Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "If Lu Xun is so vigilant about that Fazheng, presumably that Fazheng is also afraid of you Lu Xun." ”As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lu Xun's puzzled look, and Ma Chao continued: "If Fa Zheng knows and is familiar with your tactics very well, he will definitely crack it at all costs, but since we have been guarding Liangzhou, except for fighting with the small forces of the Shu army, we have never seen the strength of the Shu army.This shows a truth, that Fa Zheng has never personally led the troops to attack, and the reason why he didn't attack is because the other party is also afraid of you Lu Xun. ”"If that's the case, then this time I, Ma Chao, can use the psychology of the other party to launch a strong attack in one fell swoop and attack one of its stations.Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, take one of his garrisons first, presumably with the strength of our army, it is still very simple to launch a sneak attack and win a battle.It's just that once we take one of your enemy positions, it will inevitably arouse the alarm of other enemy troops, and maybe someone will come to help.At that time, you need Lu Xun to send someone to support and join forces with me to break the enemy. ”After Lu Xun heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, I really didn't expect that my brother would actually know the art of war and tactics in such a short period of time."
This is paired with his brother's martial arts, it is simply both civil and military, if Cao Cao is still alive, knowing that his brother is like this, he will definitely have a headache day and night, and it will be difficult to sleep peacefully. ”:
