Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 181 This young man is not good at martial arts
Xu Miao is a capable and important minister in the political circle of Wei State.

Among the many capable ministers who governed the world with Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhang Ji, etc. have long since passed away, and Zhong Yao also passed away this year. Only him and Chen Qun are the old capable ministers who are still active in the court. people.

This qualification is unmatched in the court of Wei Guo.Xu Miao himself knew it well, but besides being proud, he was also somewhat hesitant on weekdays.

Feeling that life is impermanent.

Seven years ago, after Zhang Ji, the former governor of Liangzhou, died of illness, Xu Miao was appointed governor of Liangzhou not long after. Since then, he has taken root in the Northwest and has never returned to the Central Plains.

At that time, when Liu Bei defeated Yiling and died, the territory of Shu Han shrank sharply from 23 counties to 13 counties.

Considering that the Shu Han was no longer a concern, Wei's strategic center of gravity moved eastward accordingly.

Xu Miao also thought so at the time.

I feel that this will be the case in this life, serving as an official, benefiting one side, serving as the governor of Liangzhou, working steadily until he retires, paving a bright road for future generations.

But never expected that Zhuge Liang would bring Shu Han back from the brink of death in just seven years.

Not only did it pull back, it was even better than before.

Xu Miao was filled with helplessness when he thought that he was nearly sixty years old and would face another battle on the battlefield and the thunderous offensive launched by the Shu Han.

Reluctant to helpless, as a member of the party, Xu Miao would not let negative emotions affect his responsibilities. After learning that Zhang He was defeated, he immediately opened the treasury and equipped the soldiers.Then all the people who stayed outside the city were moved into the city, and all the trees and houses outside the city were destroyed.

Strong walls and clear fields did not give the Shu army any usable materials.

Xu Miao deeply realized that the situation was different.

Leaving aside the [-] soldiers deployed by Wei State in Longyou and Guanzhong, the Wei State is now at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the military strength of Liangzhou.

Ma Su's troops in the Qiang area numbered [-], of which [-] were elite cavalry, and another [-] were ordinary Qiang soldiers. Moreover, as long as these [-] ordinary Qiang soldiers were equipped with equipment, they would immediately become good at fighting. cavalry.

And how many soldiers and horses does Wei Guo have in Liangzhou?

Only nine thousand!

It is also distributed in three cities.

With a ratio of one to ten troops, Xu Miao couldn't feel at ease no matter what.

He didn't expect Sima Yi to come to his aid.

Sima Yi did not dare to leave Longyou easily.

Because the Kingdom of Shu still has an ultimate ultimate move that has not been used.

After Zhuge Liang withdrew from Wuzhangyuan, he gathered more than [-] troops in Xixian County.

Its meaning is self-explanatory.

Wait for the opportunity to go out of Qishan and attack the five counties of Longyou.

If you count the soldiers and horses under Ma Su's command, the Shu Han has assembled more than 20 soldiers and horses on the western front of Wei State!
In such a severe situation, Sima Yi didn't dare to move lightly, all Xu Miao could do was to do his best and obey the destiny.

In addition, Xu Miao was not only troubled by these, but also by the weather.

The ghost weather in the northwest is much drier than that in the Central Plains, and the wind and sand are particularly strong. Every day, a lot of sand and dust will be unconsciously eaten in the mouth.Her lips are often dry and chapped, and her cheeks have been sunburned red and purple over the years.

When he was governor of Liangzhou, some people always regarded him as an old farmer.It's dumbfounding.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Miao rubbed his eyes that were sore by the wind, looked away, and sighed.

Keeping is unstoppable.

Unless His Majesty dispatches more soldiers and horses.

But the problem now is that although the Great Wei has many soldiers and horses, it is surrounded by enemies. There is Kebineng in the north, Gongsun Yuan in the northeast, Sun Quan in the southeast, Shu Han in the southwest, and Ma Di in the northwest.

None of these opponents is a fuel-efficient lamp.

While he was worried, the scouts rushed to report that Ma Su's soldiers and horses had set up camp [-] miles north of the city.

"Keep an eye on their every move, but if there is something abnormal, please report to me!"

The scout bowed and took his orders.

……

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Xu Miao, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a loud noise.

"My lord, it's not good, the Shu army has attacked the city!"

"What?!" Xu Miao got up from the bed, his face full of disbelief.

In his heart, he had already concluded that Ma Di would not dare to attack the city.

With [-] soldiers and horses against [-] soldiers and horses, what will Ma Di use to attack the city?
You don't even have a ladder!

Xu Miao hurriedly put on his armor, came to the top of the city, and looked intently.

Just look at the word 'horse' written on the big banner waving in the wind below.A group of cavalry got off their horses, held up their wooden shields, and approached the north gate with shouts.

They didn't have ladders, and they didn't rush cars.

Just rushed over like that swaggeringly.

Then I made a few gestures under the city, and found that I couldn't climb up, so I retreated back in despair.

Xu Miao narrowed his eyes, leaned forward involuntarily, resting his elbows on the female wall, and quickly analyzed in his mind.

What is the Shu army doing?Siege?impossible!How can you attack a city without ladders and cars?fly up?
Is it to laugh at the old man to death so that he can inherit the old man's family property?
This absurd guess flashed through Xu Miao's mind and was quickly denied.

Although I don't know where the 4000 soldiers under Ma Di's command went, it is obvious that Ma Di does have only [-] to [-] troops at present.So... why did the Shu army do this?

After thinking back and forth for a long time, I couldn't think of any other possibility except cheating.

In the past few years, Wei Guo has been relatively slack in intelligence work on the Shu Han. His understanding of Ma Di is really limited. Only from the previous short confrontations, he came to the conclusion that "Ma Di is good at deceiving".

But in any case, it is an iron fact that the Shu army has an absolute advantage.Then Xu Miao had to stay in the city, no matter how provocative Ma Di was, he would stay the same and respond to all changes, just ignore it.

Thinking of this, Xu Miao raised his head, looked around at the two generals on the left and right, waved to them and said, "You guard the city carefully, and as soon as the enemy army approaches the city, you will shoot with bows and arrows."

The two generals quickly replied: "Follow the order."

"Also, every half an hour, you need to report to me the movements of the Shu soldiers under the city."

"Yes, yes, I will obey the order."

After explaining all this, Xu Miao nodded in satisfaction and planned to return home.

Suddenly he heard a shout from the side: "General, look!"

Xu Miao quickly turned around and looked in the direction of his finger.

The formation of the Shu army outside the city was scattered, and the soldiers rolled up their flags and drew their knives, drooping their heads listlessly.

Ma Di was crossing his hips, holding a riding whip in his hand, and while beating a lieutenant severely, he yelled loudly, his loud voice could be heard clearly half a mile away.

Snapped--

"The general ordered you to attack the city, how dare you disobey his orders?"

"Ah—forgive me, general, there is nothing the general can do without ladders and carts..."

"Then I don't care, I order you to attack the city immediately. If you can't take the city within three days, I will take your head for questioning!"

Snapped--

"Ah, please forgive me, General..."

Snapped--

"Ah, take it easy, General..."

clap clap

"..."

On the city, the two generals looked at it for a long time, and said hesitantly: "My lord, the Shu army is scattered and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. If our army attacks at this moment, even if we can't capture Ma Su alive, we can still win a big victory!"

The corner of Xu Miao's mouth twitched, his face full of disdain: "Small tricks, don't try to hide it from me!"

That being said, Xu Miao was also muttering in his heart.

It stands to reason that Ma Di shouldn't have only this level, and used the clumsy tricks used by the reckless Zhang Fei to fool him.

Even a martial artist like Yan Yan can't fool this kind of trick to deceive children, so he wants to deceive Xu Miao?

What a mess!

Xu Miao was too lazy to watch this clumsy performance, and turned around to leave.

The two generals suddenly widened their eyes and shouted, "Look, my lord!"

What happened again?
Xu Miao quickly turned around again.

From the rear of the Shu army formation, seven or eight soldiers were divided into four or five directions from the rear of the Shu army formation, dragging their weapons backwards, and disappeared into the wilderness.

Only the soldiers in the back row knew about the whole process, but they didn't make a sound.

Ma Di, who was in the front row, did not know.

deserter?

Xu Miao frowned and asked, "Left and right, do you know where these soldiers come from?"

The left and right generals looked at each other, and one of them replied: "My lord. The last general looks at their armor, weapons, and mounts, like the troops of Wuwei Youjia and Jincheng Qujia."

The other general echoed: "That's right, look, my lord, the horses of the Qu family are all painted with red paint on their necks; while the helmets of Youjia usually don't have cherry blossoms on their heads."

Xu Miao took a closer look, and as the two generals said, all the characteristics were correct.

In other words, this team was actually put together by Ma Di temporarily in the local area?
hiss~!

This person is too courageous!

Since there is such a soldier under his command, it is not surprising that there are deserters.

After thinking about it, dozens of soldiers in the back row quietly left the army and ran away.

Xu Miao suddenly became interested.

I want to see how many soldiers under Ma Di's command will run away in one day.

Even, a bold idea sprouted in his head, which became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

Rush out of the city and capture Ma Di alive!
But this operation is very risky, because Ma Su and veteran Zhao Yun are inseparable.If Zhao Yun was here, not to mention capturing Ma Di alive, rushing down would be making him unhappy.

Zhao Yun is very good at fighting.

Back then, Chang Banpo...cough cough, that was too long ago, let’s just talk about the Battle of Hanzhong 11 years ago, Zhao Yun staged a scene where he rushed into thousands of troops and rescued the veteran Huang Zhong by himself.

Therefore, the prerequisite for this plan to go out of the city is: Zhao Yun is not here!
Xu Miao hurriedly beckoned the two generals to approach, and asked in a low voice, "Look quickly, is there Zhao Yun in the formation below?"

The two widened their eyes, searched carefully like a searchlight, and shook their heads in unison.

"My lord, there are only the rebels Dai Ling and Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu is being beaten... at the moment, he is covered in blood, and he has almost half his life left."

Xu Miao nodded, staring at Ma Di who was constantly showing off his whip skills under the city, without saying a word.

He felt that things went too smoothly, and there was a taste of conspiracy.

In addition, Ma Su, a young man, has never talked about martial arts ethics. If he seizes the opportunity, regardless of his age, he will really kill him.

He deeply remembers the last time he was tricked by Ma Di to get out of Xiabian City and was almost burned to death.

So, don't worry, let's see it first!
