The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

The arrival of Ma Zun's soldiers and horses also made Xia Houyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally, he had gathered another [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and when the opponent came to kill him at this moment, he finally had the power to protect himself.

At this time, a scout rushed over to report the military situation.

"General, after the two armies of Ma Chao and Huang Zhong joined forces, they immediately began to repair the plank road, and it has already been repaired by one-third."

Xia Houyuan's face changed greatly when he heard this.

He didn't expect the opponent's speed to be so fast, and he had already cultivated so long in just a few days.

In fact, on the one hand, Ma Chao brought a lot of skilled craftsmen into his army. At the same time, although the wooden plank road was destroyed, the traces left in the stone are still there.

As long as the wooden piles are driven in again, and the wooden boards are covered on them, the passage can continue.

After all, during the war, as long as there is enough, it will do.There is no need to build rainproof trestles and guardrails as before.

Xia Houyuan was deeply worried about the opponent's progress, because the other reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Although he can guarantee undefeated, it is still far from his desire to win.

Therefore, Xia Houyuan understood that it was necessary to stop the other party's construction progress and buy time for the reinforcements.

Xia Houyuan looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Who dares to go to the plank road to resist the enemy?"

After experiencing the previous losing streak, the generals naturally hesitated.

While hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared: "The next official is willing to go!"

Seeing someone volunteering, Xia Houyuan immediately looked in surprise.

But seeing that the person who came out was a person he had never seen before, he couldn't help asking: "Who are you?"

"Return to the general, the next officer, Jiang Wei, is under Ma Taishou's account and is currently serving in the army."

"Well, it really is a hero born a boy, I didn't expect Ma Taishou to have such a hero!"

Xia Houyuan said, looking at Ma Zun on the left.

Ma Zun quickly replied: "General Xiahou, Jiang Wei is young and impulsive, so he doesn't know anything about military affairs.

I'm afraid I'll miss a major event, please be careful, general.Jiang Wei, why don't you hurry up and apologize? "

Ma Zun's timidity and fear of getting into trouble are fully displayed at this moment.

In fact, he was not really worried about Jiang Wei's safety, or military success or failure.

It's because Jiang Wei is still his subordinate at the moment, and if this trip is unfavorable, he will also be jointly and severally responsible.

One of Ma Zun's beliefs is that one thing more is worse than one thing less. He does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

At this moment, Jiang Wei took the initiative to show off and implicated himself, which of course made him feel uncomfortable.

In fact, there is another more important reason.

That is, Jiang Wei's talent is far superior to his own.

When he was in Ji County, Ma Zun could still use his power to suppress and limit his growth.

But here he is a little bit useless.

If Jiang Wei is really allowed to kill the general and make meritorious service, he will definitely be promoted to a noble.

Maybe one day, it will even climb onto its own head.

Ma Zun, who was always jealous in his heart, couldn't accept this no matter what.

Because he is afraid, afraid that the other party will recall his previous suppression and deal with him in turn.

But what Ma Zun didn't understand was that only a person with a sinister heart would think that everyone in the world is as sinister as him.

Therefore, all kinds of calculations in his heart made Ma Zun rush out to stop him.

But Xia Houyuan did not waver.

After all, at this moment, he has seen all the performances of the generals fearing the enemy.

Finally, someone who volunteered to come forward, how can I suppress the enthusiasm of the other party?

Wouldn't there be no one volunteering by then?

So Xia Houyuan glanced at Ma Zun and didn't speak.

Instead, he looked at Jiang Wei with a pleasing expression, and said kindly, "Bo Yue, what is your plan to defeat the enemy?"

Now that Jiang Wei has stepped forward, he naturally doesn't care about Ma Zun's obstruction.

Besides, when he saw Ma Zun being so active when he sent troops, he thought that the other party was just worried about him.

Facing Xia Houyuan's words, he quickly replied respectfully: "Report to General, the reason why the enemy army is advancing so fast.

It's entirely because our army didn't stop it, so the subordinate officials thought that they should take the initiative to destroy it on the plank road.

If the enemy builds one foot, our army will destroy two feet, breaking the opponent's plan in one fell swoop. "

"Oh? But the plank road has been destroyed and twists and turns, how will you stop it?" Xia Houyuan continued to ask.

"Xiaguan has lived in the county for a long time and is familiar with the terrain. Although the plank road is on the cliff, the mountain on the side of Shangyu is gentle.
