"It's time for the whole army to rest for one stick of incense," Ma Chao stopped Xianglong Xiaohei, patted Xianglong's strong and sweaty body, and said loudly.
After giving the order, the more than 5,000 horsemen's cavalry seemed to fall apart.
They turned over and dismounted extremely tiredly.
Not caring about anything else, they lay on the ground and gasped for air.
The other soldiers who still had some strength quickly took out the dry food from their backpacks and took a few bites to regain their strength.
But there was no river around, and the dry and hard pancakes made people choke and roll their eyes.
When Ma Chao saw this, he felt helpless.
At this time, his throat was on fire and his whole body was severely dehydrated.
However, after he dismounted, he still tried to stand up straight and waited for the single to come.
Before the single reached Ma Chao, he shouted loudly: "Lord, the news from Dashou City has come."
Ma Chao's face darkened again: It was just as he expected, I'm afraid Dashou City already belongs to Cao Cao at this time.
The traitors of the Three Kingdoms used their troops like gods, which really made people overwhelmed.
"The day before yesterday, Cao's army cut off the upper reaches of the Ju River with 5,000 troops.
Yuan Shu's army in Dashou City was frightened.
Yuan Shu was even more frightened.
He was at a loss and panicked.
As a result, within a day, he ordered the army to retreat.
Gaolingcheng stood firm, and after a while he ordered to return to Dashou City.
Yuan'er also ordered to take the initiative to attack and issued dozens of contradictory orders one after another.
The morale of Yuan's troops was not high, and they were even more confused after receiving such orders.
Rumors spread in the army, and people were panicked.
He himself was confused first. .
"The information detected by the single is very detailed.
At this time, Ma Chao seemed to be able to think of Yuan Shu's panic in Dashou City.
"Therefore, before Cao's army could send troops, Yuan Shu could not hold out for a few days and then retreated on his own initiative."
Ma Chao licked his dry lips and asked.
"That's right."
Shan Dan was also hungry and thirsty.
After licking his blistered lips like Ma Chao, he reluctantly continued: "Yuan Shu led his army to escape to Ningling City, which is on a higher ground.
However, Cao Jun still pressed on.
They are chasing Yuan Shu.
Presumably, Cao Jun is chasing Yuan Shu's army at this moment."
"Yes."
Ma Chao nodded and said with a frown: "Once in Dashou City, the main force of Cao's army will no longer have any worries, and the Yanzhou army will definitely move to the southwest.
Yuan Shu does not have the advantage of troops and horses at this moment, so he will naturally be defeated all the way.
In this way, Defeat to Cao Cao was nothing more than It took three or two days.
And looking at Cao Cao's posture this time, I'm afraid he won't give up until he drives Yuan Shu back to Yangzhou."
After sending troops to Hangu, Ma Chao was constantly thinking about the overall battle situation and deducing various changes.
This situation was already expected by him.
However, if you think carefully about Cao Cao's military use, he sent troops from Zhencheng to Ningling City, pursued Yuan Shu for 600 miles, fought from the beginning of summer to the end of summer, and defeated the leader of the southern faction of the Kwantung Army in such a panic, he really became this The most colorful event in the first year of Xingping shocked the entire Han Dynasty.
It can be seen that from the beginning of this war, Cao Cao basically did not set up a formation for a face-to-face confrontation.
If this was the case, Ma Chao felt that the outcome was really about 50-50.
However, Cao Cao did not give Yuan Shu this chance at all.
He started to advance with a small number of troops, forcing Yuan Shu to have no chance to think calmly, and forcing Yuan Shu to have no time to set up his formation and use psychological warfare to the extreme.
The purpose is not to destroy the opponent, but to force them to collapse.

Every time he was surrounded, he gave the opponent a way to retreat, which not only preserved his own strength, but also allowed the opponent to weaken during the escape.
Cao Cao's war talent was truly brought into full play.
In fact, Ma Chao felt that Cao Cao's use of troops this time had the shadow of the greatest military strategist in later generations.
His military agility and psychological warfare skills were truly at the pinnacle of this era.
Compared with his time with Lu Bu, he could be said to be a warrior.
The pure battle between Cao Cao and Cao Cao fully embodies the essence of the soldier and the trick.
In Ma Chao's view, the wars in the Three Kingdoms era were actually divided.
In the era of war between heroes, such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and even himself when he first conquered outside the Great Wall, they relied on unparalleled force and bravery of soldiers to break through the enemy's blockade time and time again, relying on their keen sense of battlefield.
Use a very small advantage to achieve a comprehensive victory.
When the world was divided, as various wars matured, especially when military geniuses like Cao Cao, Kong Ming, and Sima appeared, they brought various military services and various tactics to their fullest.
At that time, fighting simply became an art, a dazzling spark produced by the collision of thoughts and thoughts, emitting various brilliance.
In this era, I still have something to learn.
Not to mention all kinds of military thoughts in the future, let's talk about the battle with Lu Bu that just happened.
If it weren't for the bloody battle and the low morale of Lu Bu's men, I might have been defeated.
Lu Bu's hand.
However, thinking of Lu Bu, Ma Chao then thought of his own treatment of Lu Bu.
Ma Chao's brows furrowed again as he thought about the changes that this decision would bring to this increasingly chaotic era.
"Lord, the time for burning incense has passed.
It's time to hit the road."
Zhang Xiu stood up angrily, shook off the fatigue on his body, and said to Ma Chao with clasped fists.
Ma Chao turned around and saw all the Ma's cavalry looking thirsty.
He couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After getting on his horse, he raised his gun and pointed: "Shadow Single has brought news.
There is a plum forest fifteen miles ahead.
This is the time when the plums are ripe.
Let's hurry up."
Get up, wait until Yangren County is captured, and then go have a feast of green plums."
When the Ma Jiajun soldiers heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
Thinking of the sweet, sour and juicy taste of plums, I couldn't help but salivate and my throat was lubricated.
It seemed that my whole body was full of strength again.
After a response, I struggled to get on the horse.
But although Shan Shan was also very greedy, he frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Lord, there is no Merlin fifteen miles ahead."
"Of course I know."
Ma Chao smiled and said with a hint of slyness: "Let me ask you, are you thirsty now?"
"I'm not thirsty anymore" was asked by Ma Chao.
Suddenly, he really felt that he was really not thirsty anymore just thinking about the taste of plums.
However, he still asked worriedly: "But what if the soldiers find out that you are lying to them, my lord?"
"After capturing Yangren County, are you still worried about not having water to drink?
How can we eat plums?"
Although Ma Chao whispered, he couldn't help but laugh after he finished speaking.
After that, regardless of the single, he took the lead and left.
The single song touched his head and then patted himself: "What's wrong with me?
My lord is right.
I conquered Yangren County and had no water to drink.
How did I get into the Shadow Camp in the first place?"

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was marching in the dense forest, looked at the soldiers who were jumping up and down, vying to squeeze the juice from the branches to quench their thirst.
He couldn't help but frown, and his scorched face was even darker from the sun.
"Ming Gong, soldiers are valuable and quick.
Now Yuan Shu's army is running for his life in a hurry.
We must move forward with all our strength."
Cao Ren looked at the listless look of his soldiers and really wanted to whip the soldiers a few times.
But after licking his chapped lips, he put down the whip dejectedly.
After Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Cao has been here before.
Ten miles ahead is a plum forest.
All the troops quickly follow Cao and have a feast of green plums."
When Cao Cao's army heard what Cao Cao said, they all looked shocked.
They couldn't help but swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and responded loudly.
Cao Cao seemed to be unable to wait for the soldiers and wanted to eat the plums as soon as possible, so he drove away without caring about the soldiers.
Later, Cao Jun still didn't know what happened.
After the news spread, everyone threw away the bitter and unpleasant branches in their hands and rushed forward like a mad dog that had broken free of its chain.
After traveling less than five miles, they saw Yuan Jun retreating in embarrassment. : An allusion, two princes, but they both won their battles with each other. s: Sorry, sorry, I'm even more confused.
I thought that five chapters had been updated, but I didn't expect that it was only four chapters.
I'm really sorry, but luckily it's not 0:00 yet:
