In fact, the behavior of fighting generals was extremely powerful on some battlefields in the late Han Dynasty.
However, in the eyes of military strategists, this kind of "heroic" behavior is just the courage of an ordinary man.
The real art of war lies in surprise, in using the sword and deflecting the attack to win by surprise.
It lies in calculating with intention and without intending to use more to bully the few and to use the strong to bully the weak.
In the midst of thousands of troops, no matter how strong an individual's force is, it is only for self-protection and will hardly play any big role.
But what I have to admit is that this kind of behavior is indeed very awe-inspiring at this time.
Of course, it is definitely not as bad as in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where they would challenge each other in battle.
When the enemy challenges them, for the sake of the honor of the soldiers, they will usually respond. .
Therefore, after hearing the news, Zhang Xiu did his part and was the first to stand up and said: "The general is willing to go."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Hu Chi'er behind Niu Fu also stepped forward and said: "The villain is also willing to go."
"Go to war" Looking back and forth between the two men, Ma Chao remained silent: This time, Lu Bu was obviously going to crush Niu Fujun.
Everyone knows that Lu Bu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world.
Although he defeated Lu Bu in Qiaowu, his victory was in battle tactics, not in battle.
If Lu Bu takes action, no one in Niu Fu's army can defeat him.
And because he was blatantly involved in the war that captured Chang'an, he was naturally unable to fight.
But the battle between generals is also crucial to the morale of the army, and it is not something that Zhang Xiu and Hu Chi'er can resist.
What's more, Hu Chi'er probably didn't go to war just because of his passion.
"My lord, soldiers are not afraid of deceit.
Lu Bu asked the general to make a plan.
It must be just to damage the morale of our army.
But if our army attacks Lu Bu's grain road, the plan of the general will be defeated without attacking."
Jia Xu, the old fox, looked at Ma Chao in confusion.
The way he spoke, he naturally understood Ma Chao's worries and suggested.
In fact, Ma Chao was waiting for Jia Xu's words.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, he would naturally not say such a plan personally.
It is most appropriate for Jia Xu, a man of great status and resourcefulness, to speak out.
"What the military advisor said is reasonable.
Fighting a general is just a show of bravery.
Compared with defeating Lu Bu, it is really a trivial matter."
Li Jue saw that Ma Chao had never greeted him warmly, and he couldn't help but drop the book again. bag.
These words just spoke to Ma Chao's heart.
Ma Chao couldn't help but look at Li Jue with admiration, which made Li Jue feel a little uneasy.
"Yes, what the military advisor and General Li said makes sense.
Once the food route is lost, Lu Bu will definitely lead his army to protect it personally.
At that time, someone will ambush on both sides and use the crowd to overwhelm the few and attack them unprepared.
Then the morale of Lu Bu's army will be completely lost and they will be unable to recover.
Ma Chao clapped his hands and said with a smile, but then he glanced around at his subordinates and continued: "However, we have to take up the matter of fighting generals.
Winning is good, but losing is just a way to delay the attack."
"My lord, you are so clever and clever, I admire you so much."
Li Jue, Guo Bang, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji had never seen such a scheme before.
After a moment of surprise, they fell to the ground and said.
Zhu Jun, on the other hand, frowned in pain, deeply heartbroken that the Han Dynasty had provoked the evil star Ma Chao.
"In this case, General Niu is familiar with the terrain of Hongnong and can send his men to prepare for the attack on the grain road.
The other generals should choose the best men in the army to go out of the stronghold to fight with Lu Bu."
Ma Chao waved his hand, showing great pride.

All the generals with orders retired and left, while the others waited in the main tent for news.
When Niu Fu left, Ma Chao took a special look, but when he saw Hu Chier leaving with Niu Fu, he couldn't help but smile strangely.
After a while, drums were beating loudly outside the tent and the shouting kept going.
But Ma Chao and the others were sitting in the big tent, seemingly doing nothing.
Disturbed, Ma Chao took out chess and played with Jia Xu.
Guo Jia was in Fufeng and had already learned the rules of chess.
He stood behind Ma Chao and gave instructions from time to time.
At first, Ma Chao was beaten to a pulp by Jia Xu, but later, after Ma Chao stole a few tricks from Guo Jia from time to time, he gradually began to be on par with Jia Xu.
After a few games of chess, the sky gradually became dark.
After Ma Chao yawned, he asked: "What is the outcome of the battle between generals now?"
"Retribution is now thirteen wins and fifteen losses."
Upon hearing this, the scout immediately shouted retribution.
"It doesn't matter who wins or loses.
It seems that Lu Bu is also trying to slow down the attack."
Ma Chao picked up a piece, smiled proudly, and then asked: "How is the formation of Lu Bu's army?"
"Eighteen miles to the south, Hou Cheng is in charge of 5,000 troops and horses, facing General Li's 20,000 men; seventeen miles to the southeast, Wei Xu is in charge of 5,000 Bingzhou Langqi, facing General Guo's 20,000 men; southwest , Song Xian commanded five thousand troops and horses, and faced General Fan with all the above armies, all ready to go to war, only waiting for the Lord's order."
"Very good, so far, it seems that our army's formation has no flaws."
Ma Chao made the move with ease, and smiled even more heartily, and continued to ask: "How are Niu Fu's preparations?"
"It has been two hours since General Niu left.
A moment ago, there were scouts who sent orders, saying that they had found the place that must be passed by to sneak to Lu Bu's army food road.
Presumably, in another hour, someone will attack and intercept the food road.
The news is coming” After Ma Chao listened to the report, he waited for Jia Xu to walk for a while, then picked up a cart and said, "General."
After he raised his eyes and looked at Jia Xu, he said in a strange voice: "Old fox, you are already here."
It’s time to see each other again.”
"No."
Jia Xu didn't even raise his eyes.
He casually took his general a step away and said, "At this moment, according to the Lord, it's just the calm before the storm, and it's far from the time when Tu Qiu Ding sees him."
"Very good, then I understand."
After Ma Chao looked at Jia Xu, he looked up at Guo Jia.
Then, at Guo Jia's signal, he took a step forward, lowered his head and said, "Zhang Xiu."
"The end will be here" "I want to boost morale a little bit."
Zhang Xiu was stunned and understood immediately.
He cupped his fists and replied, "I will obey your orders."
But before leaving, Ma Chao weighed the importance and said again, "Be careful."
Zhang Xiu's figure stabilized, and then he saluted Ma Chao: "If I can't come back, when my uncle comes back, please tell him, my lord, that I have not embarrassed him."
Ma Chao's heart moved and he said calmly: "Don't worry, Lu Bu and I will not take action.
The so-called fighting generals are just deceiving each other."
Zhang Xiu was puzzled, but he didn't speak again and turned around to pay.
The gate of the village was opened, and Zhang Xiu rode out alone, shouting loudly: "This is Zhang Xiu, the captain of Wuwei School under Niu Fu's tent.
Who dares to fight with me?"
In an instant, listening to his voice, Ma Chao suddenly felt that Zhang Xiu was as majestic as if he were attacking Zhu Jun's camp late at night.
When he turned around, Zhu Jun looked shocked and understood the meaning in Ma Chao's eyes.
"I didn't know that this young general has such courage.
I just don't know how good his martial arts skills are," Zhu Jun said and couldn't help but ask.
"Can you bet, old general?"

Ma Chao smiled and was actually in the mood to joke with Zhu Jun.
"What does it mean" "After I bet for an hour, the morale of the Bingzhou army has dropped to the bottom, and no one dares to fight anymore.
If I lose, I will send someone to send the old general back to Chang'an and be loyal to the Han Dynasty; if I win, the old general will join the Ma family.
How good” "Not good."
Zhu Jun smiled and shook his head.
He didn't fall for Ma Chao's trap at all: "Anyone who can fight Ma Fuguo for thirty rounds without being defeated, and the whole army of Bingzhou, except Lu Bu, no one can beat him."
Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, because he thought that once, there were two generals in the Bingzhou Army, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who had extraordinary martial arts.
Unfortunately, he was poached by himself.
As a result, Zhu Jun had no choice but to nod in approval when he made such bold remarks.
However, this does not mean that he has to let Zhu Jun go.
After Ma Chao took a sip of wine, he said calmly: "If we add more, after another hour, I will defeat Lu Bujun."
