Chapter 21 Do You Dare to Come Up?
on the top of the mountain.

Seeing Wei Jun's large troops gradually approaching, tens of thousands of horses marched, and the queue spread far away, with no end in sight.The noisy sound of the army came from far and near, almost piercing into the ears, and the sound waves tossed back and forth in this mountain.

Ma Su lay motionless on the ground, his eyes staring straight down, as if he had seen the prey of a hunter, his eyes were shining brightly.

He pointed at Wei Jun who was coming slowly, and ordered in a low voice: "When Wei Bing enters Calabash Valley, you should look at my eyes and act, and don't act rashly."

Xu Shen replied in a low voice: "General, we have killed all the scout cavalry of the Wei army who came to patrol the mountain, will you scare the snake away?"

"Probably not!" Ma Di shook his head: "There is a proverb in my hometown: When the army returns to the country, the person returns to the country, and the thoughts are agitated and there is no defense. Presumably Wei Bing is not aware of this at the moment."

As soon as the words fell, a soldier beside him interrupted: "General, I am also from Xiangyang, why haven't I heard this proverb?"

"..." Ma Di waved his hand: "That's not important! What's important is that we must amaze this era today!"

Someone next to him interrupted: "Not necessarily!"

Ma Di turned his head angrily, followed his reputation, and saw that it was Li Sheng, who was about to lose his temper, when he suddenly saw Li Sheng pointing down the mountain:

"Look, general, they stopped."

……

Cao Zhen instinctively stopped the castration of the army, quickly started a brainstorm, and deduced the situation.

Three days ago, he ordered Hao Zhao, who was good at defense, to go to Chen Cang, and together with Wang Sheng, he built a city and garrisoned the fortress.

Considering the fact that Zhuge Liang would not let it go after his defeat in Longxi, Cao Zhen expected that Zhuge Liang would attack Chencang soon, and his personnel arrangement could provide an insurance policy at the gate of the western front of the Wei Dynasty, so as to obtain a response within ten and a half months. time.

According to military practice, Chencangyuan guard Wang Sheng needs to report the progress of the city's construction to him, the governor, every day.

But after three days, there was no news from Chen Cang's side, and the sentry cavalry he sent to explore the road ahead also disappeared without a trace and never returned.

This is somewhat abnormal.

Cao Zhen, who has an extremely keen military sense, immediately realized that the situation may have deviated from his own imagination.

Chen Cangcheng is probably lost.

No, [-]%!
Now that Chen Cang is lost, Chen Cang Road is no longer safe at this moment, and the road ahead is bound to be full of crises.

Before urging the army to come south, Cao Zhen paid attention to the terrain all the way, and knew that there was a gourd valley with a large middle and narrow ends in front of him, which could be said to be an excellent place to ambush.

If the army goes in recklessly, the other side only needs to block the exit and set fire to the mountain...

hiss--

Cao Zhen took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it anymore, before he could be horrified, three questions popped up in his mind.

Who attacked Chencang?Where did this person come from?How many people did you bring?
We must figure this out, otherwise Wei Jun will be too passive.

Cao Zhen immediately synthesized the known information and reviewed the overall situation again, hoping to find clues in it.

Soon, all the clues point to a truth.

Shu general Ma Di!
Cao Zhen's eyes lit up.

The person who attacked Chen Cang was most likely Ma Di, the general of Shu who retreated to Shanggu City before!
That is to say, after Ma Di's army withdrew from Jieting, they did not retreat back to Hanzhong honestly. Instead, they divided their troops into two groups and left half of their troops in Shangyu City to contain Zhang Yun. Thousands of miles away, before the Wei army withdrew from Chencang Road, Chencangcheng was captured.

Moreover, it is very likely that Ma Su has already set up an ambush in Calabash Valley in front of him at this moment.

The result of such a deduction made Cao Zhen a little unbelievable, but the first thing he thought of was:
Is Ma Su crazy?How dare a single army attack the rear of Wei State thousands of miles away.

Is he really not afraid of death?

It is easy to lead an army to sneak attack, but it is not so easy to go back!

The soldiers of the Great Wei are not charitable soldiers, and they will not sit back and watch the enemy's recklessness and not fight back.

However, the most important thing right now is to prevent Zhuge Liang from chasing after him from the rear, strangling the mountain road, and attacking the Wei army back and forth with Ma Di.

If so, the army is in danger, and the entire army may be wiped out!

"Stop the rear army, set up a position, divide the troops to find the way, and quickly go up the mountain to check!" Cao Zhen remained calm in the face of danger, and quickly issued several clear-cut military orders.

A group of soldiers led the way.

Seeing this, Ma Su, who had been "Voldemort" on the mountain for several days, secretly sighed, knowing that the ambush plan had failed, so he had to emerge from the mountain and laughed loudly:
"Cao Zhen! You are already surrounded by me. If you are sensible, get off your horse and surrender immediately, otherwise, you will be destroyed in a short time!"

Hearing this, Wei Bing, who was halfway up the mountain, subconsciously stopped, paused, and quickly retreated down the ridge.

Climb any higher and you'll die.

Seeing that there was indeed an ambush on the mountain, Cao Shuang immediately turned pale with fright, tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, and tightened the reins involuntarily.

The war horse stood up violently, neighing bursts.

The surrounding soldiers raised their weapons and shields in a panic, made a defensive posture, and looked around, as if they were facing an enemy.

"Father...Father." Cao Shuang quickly approached Cao Zhen and said in a trembling voice, "There is an ambush ahead, and there is no way to return to the teacher. What should I do?"

Looking at Cao Shuang's clumsy performance, Cao Zhen secretly sighed, and without thinking about feeling "Father Tiger gave birth to a dog", he exchanged glances with military advisor Du Xi.

Du Xilue murmured, and said: "Commander, I think there are only a few thousand ambush soldiers on this mountain, which is nothing to worry about. The governor can order Hao Zhao to lead troops to attack Chencang, and attack the Shu army on this road twice. Unexpectedly After ten days, our army can win a complete victory."

That's right, since Zhuge Liang and Ma Di wanted to flank the Dudu, then the Dudu would also give them a counterattack... Cao Zhen took it seriously, and quickly beckoned a team of soldiers, ordering him to find a mountain trail and bypass Ma Di The ambush soldiers, crossed the mountains and ridges to Chang'an to send orders.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the Qin Mountains were lush, the barren hills were lush, and everything was revived.But the people on both sides of the mountain and down the mountain have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery, and they are waiting in full battle, their swords drawn.

After arranging the funeral, Cao Zhenxin calmed down a little, looked up at the top of the mountain, and said loudly: "Ma Di! My Great Wei has a lot of soldiers and horses, so many that it can dig Chen Cangcheng three feet into the ground, and so many that you can kill your soldiers. The horse has been wiped out [-] times! If you are sensible, let go of the way, otherwise... Humph!"

In the words, the threat is clearly revealed.

Ma Di waved his hands calmly, and shouted to Cao Zhen with a smile on his face: "I don't have many soldiers under my command, it's only enough to wipe out one hundred thousand of your soldiers once."

Who wouldn't say harsh words?

Ma Di pulled back a city.

Cao Zhen looked around and changed the subject: "Ma Su! My Emperor Wei is a man who cherishes talents. If you are willing to come down the mountain, I would like to recommend you to be reused in front of His Majesty. At that time, fame, fortune, glory and wealth will be enjoyed. Endless!"

This treatment is a bit cautious... Ma Di was a little distracted when he heard the words, and didn't answer.

But Cao Zhen said again: "If you are stubborn again, you will die soon!"

As soon as the topic of surrender came up, Ma Di felt the coldness on his back began to loom again.

He didn't hesitate, and quickly said harshly: "Cao Zhen, don't use your tongue. We met today, and there was only one battle. Do you dare to go up the mountain and fight to the death with me?"

This arrogant tone, this familiar rhetoric reminded the Shu army on the mountain of the scolding battle in Jieting not long ago, and everyone immediately laughed knowingly.

The laughter echoed in the mountains, and the lingering sound continued.

Cao Shuang had now recovered from his panic and anxiety. Seeing that there were only a few thousand ambush soldiers on the mountain, and they could not threaten the Wei army, he immediately felt relieved.

Seeing Ma Su yelling at his father for being an idiot, he was furious and yelled up the mountain with his whip:
"Ma Su rat, do you dare to come down and fight to the death with me?"

Ma Di smiled slightly, and choked back, "Do you dare to come up!"

Not to be outdone, Cao Shuang said, "Do you dare to come down!"

Ma Di nodded: "I have few people, so I dare not come down. You have many people, do you dare to come up?"

"you you you……"

Cao Shuang was very angry, you waited for a long time, and finally choked out the second half of the sentence: "You are shameless!"

Ma Di nodded again: "Yes, I am shameless, I dare not go down. You are righteous, do you dare to come up?"
