Angel:
Finally, he was done. He sent a chapter with 6000 points as two chapters. This way, you won't have to flip the pages when you read it.
In addition, this week's essence was shot clean. It seems that those brothers who want the essence will have to wait until next week. Haha! Let's not talk nonsense. I've made everyone wait for so long. Hurry up and send the main text.
*************************************************************
Xue Bing and Fa Zheng looked down from the mountain as the flames soared into the sky. The screams mixed in with the flames sent chills down their spines. Fa Zheng observed this scene and said to Xue Bing,"General, did you plan to use fire from the beginning?”"Yes!" Xue Bing replied. There was no joy on his face as he thought to himself,"This technique is too cruel. If I don't treat my enemies cruelly, how can I win?”
The two of them observed for a moment, during which Xue Bing ordered the stone cart to throw fuel bombs at the enemy soldiers and ignited them with rockets. In addition, it was winter and the weather was dry. The entire mountain path turned into a sea of fire in an instant.
The fire burned for half a day. Xue Bing watched from the top of the mountain for a while, occasionally ordering the ballistae to shoot upwards. When the fire at the foot of the mountain gradually dimmed, Xue Bing ordered his men,"Pass on my order, withdraw the troops and return to the pass!" "General, aren't you going to clean up the battlefield?" Wei Yan asked.”"Leave that to Ma Chao!" Xue Bing said.”Wei Yan didn't say anything.
Xue Bing had led the army back to Jiameng Pass, and Ma Chao had received a report from the central army that Ma Dai had been ambushed by the enemy and his ten thousand troops had been burned to ashes. Ma Dai's life and death were unknown. Ma Chao was alarmed by the news and hurried to Ma Dai's ambush.
Ma Chao led the army and rushed for a day before arriving. There were charred corpses everywhere, be it horse corpses or human corpses. There was a smell of roasted meat and charred meat all around. These smells mixed together and made people who smelled it feel nauseous. Ma Chao did not care about this. When he saw this scene, his heart was burning with anxiety. He shouted to the people beside him,""Hurry up! Quickly find Ma Dai! If he's alive, I want to see him. If he's dead, I want to see his corpse!" The left and right received the order and left in a hurry.
When a small school saw Ma Chao like this, they advised," General, the fire is so terrible, I think General Ma Dai is also…" Before he could finish his sentence, Ma Chao asked softly,""Do you know who the general guarding Jiameng Pass is?" The small officer did not react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment before saying,"I heard that Liu Bei sent Meng Da and Huo Jun to guard the pass.”"Humph," said Ma Chao,"those two won't come up with such a plan. Who else is there in Guanzhong?”"There's no one else in Guanzhong," said the colonel. However, the day before yesterday, a spy found out that Liu Bei had sent his general Xue Bing to Jiameng Pass. Could it be that he's already here?" "It must be him!" Ma Chao said angrily.”The silver teeth in her mouth were actually gnashing.
At that moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over and said to Ma Chao,""We've found General Ma Dai!" "Is he still alive?" Ma Chao asked.”"We found General Ma Dai under a big rock in front of us," the soldier replied. General Ma Dai was not injured. He had only fainted from the smoke.”"Bring me to him quickly!" Ma Chao was overjoyed.”The soldier hurriedly led Ma Chao to the large rock in front of him.
Ma Chao jumped down from his horse and ran to the rock, only to see Ma Dai coughing as he woke up. When Ma Chao saw this, he hurriedly squatted down and asked,""Brother, are you injured?" Ma Dai had just woken up, and his head was dizzy from the smoke earlier. When he saw Ma Chao, he still did not know what was going on. This made Ma Chao extremely anxious. Seeing that he did not speak, Ma Chao asked a few more questions,""Where is little brother injured?" He looked at his entire body but did not see any injuries.
After a moment, Ma Dai had already sobered up a little. When he saw Ma Chao, he said,"Brother!" However, he felt his throat was very uncomfortable, as if it had been burned by fire, and he could no longer speak. When Ma Chao heard Ma Dai call him, he hurriedly replied,""I'm here! What are you trying to say?" Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Ma Dai opened his mouth a few times but did not spit out a single word.
"General, General Ma Dai's throat has been injured by the smoke. I think he can't speak."”When Ma Chao heard this, he came to his senses and said,""Little brother should rest well first. I will avenge you later!”Hearing this, Ma Dai kept his mouth shut. When Ma Chao saw this, he knew that Ma Dai was badly injured and needed rest, so he ordered people to take good care of him and slowly followed behind the army.
After Ma Dai was done with his arrangements, Ma Chao ordered his men to clean up the place. The corpses of those who had died in battle were all buried, and those who were still alive…Ma Chao searched for a long time but did not find a single person who was still alive. Those who were injured but could still move had probably fled the place, while those who were injured and unable to move had become charred corpses like the others. Thinking about it this way, Ma Dai's survival was a miracle. Ma Chao even thought to himself,""Could it be that the heavens are also blessing us?”……
Besides, Xue Bing had defeated Ma Chao's vanguard with an ambush and led his troops back to Jiameng Pass. As soon as he entered the pass, he saw a beautiful figure standing by the roadside looking at him. Xue Bing immediately sized her up carefully, but his heart could not help but become excited. The last time they had exchanged was a few months ago, when she was just pregnant. Now, her stomach was already bulging, and she no longer looked as naughty as before. Instead, it was replaced by a motherly glow.
"You've grown up!" Xue Bing stared at the figure by the roadside. "I'll wait for you!" The beautiful figure also sent this message with her eyes. Then, with her belly sticking out, she left with the help of the servant girl beside her.
Xue Bing watched as she gradually disappeared into the distance before retracting her gaze. He still needed to go to the residence to deal with some matters.
After recording the merits and assigning the guarding tasks, it was already midnight when Xue Bing was done with all these matters. Coming out of the residence, Xue Bing stretched lazily and thought to himself,"It's finally done. He didn't expect that after a small victory, there would be so many things to do. If it was a great battle, who knew what it would be like.”After thinking for a moment, he felt that this was not something he should be thinking about now, so he called the soldier beside him and ordered,"Go get my horse!" "It's already late at night. Where are you going instead of resting in the back hall?" the guards asked.”"I have my own residence here, so I won't rest here!" Xue Bing smiled.”Hearing this, the bodyguard did not say anything more and led Xue Bing's horse outside the door.
Xue Bing mounted his horse and galloped off. Not long after, he stopped outside a large residence. Someone was already there to welcome him. Seeing Xue Bing stop his horse, he quickly went forward and took the horse over. He said,"Madam has been waiting for a long time!" Xue Bing heard this and said,"Feed my horse some fodder!"”Then, he went straight into the residence.
This residence was arranged for him when he came to Jiameng Pass with Liu Bei. After he left with Liu Bei, Sun Shangxiang had been living here. Other than the two maids Xue Bing specially bought, there were only Xue Bing's personal guards. He was very familiar with Xue Bing. Along the way, no one dared to stop him.
When he arrived at the inner residence, he saw that the bedroom was still lit. Xue Bing knew that Sun Shangxiang was waiting for him. She subconsciously quickened her pace, wishing that she could reach the bedroom in the blink of an eye.
It was getting closer, getting closer. Xue Bing had already stepped into the house when a maidservant rushed out. Xue Bing was about to speak when he stopped her. Xue Bing saw that the servant girl understood what he meant and said softly,"Madam, you're not asleep yet?" He saw that she was holding the dishes in her hands, but the dishes had not been touched.
"Madame hasn't rested yet," said the maidservant.”Xue Bing looked at the dishes in his hands and said,"Furen ordered me to heat up these dishes again.”Xue Bing nodded upon hearing this and gestured for her to leave. Only then did the maidservant carry the dishes and wine away.
Xue Bing saw that the servant girl had gone far away, so he slowly walked in. Whenever he could not see Sun Shangxiang, he would always think about her. Now that he was about to see her, he was not in a hurry. Slowly walking into the bedroom, Xue Bing saw a familiar back. Sun Shangxiang was sitting on the couch with her back facing him, muttering something. Xue Bing walked over lightly and heard Sun Shangxiang say,""Son! You're about to see your father! I thought that your father wouldn't be by your side when you were born, and I felt quite regretful. But unexpectedly, Imperial Uncle Liu transferred your father to guard Jiameng Pass, which helped our family.”After a pause, she continued,"You've been restless all day long. Why are you so obedient today?"”
Sun Shangxiang was originally talking to the child in her stomach, but unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, someone behind her added,"I think the one in your stomach is a girl. She was unhappy when you called her son, so she ignored you!”Sun Shangxiang was shocked when she heard this. After she heard the voice clearly, she immediately turned around. Her large eyes were filled with tears of joy as she looked at Xue Bing for a long time before she said,"You're back!"
Xue Bing and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other for a long time. After listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, she said softly,"I'm back!" After Xue Bing finished reading, he opened his arms and opened his chest. Sun Shangxiang didn't reply and immediately rushed in. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they fell from her eyes, drenching Xue Bing's clothes.
The two of them hugged for a long time. Sun Shangxiang had already stopped crying. Although she was still in Xue Bing's arms, it was because they had not seen each other for a long time that she felt that it would be the most beautiful thing if they could keep hugging each other. Even when the servant girl brought the hot dishes in, she was reluctant to leave Xue Bing's arms.
"Aiyo!" The two of them were enjoying the warmth of this moment when Sun Shangxiang suddenly cried out in pain, scaring Xue Bing half to death. She quickly asked,"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Sun Shangxiang rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and said,"What else can I do? The little fellow was not obedient and kicked me just now!”
When Xue Bing heard this, he laughed foolishly for a long time. Then, he stared at Sun Shangxiang's stomach for a long time before he came to his senses and said,"You're pregnant now. Why don't you rest well?”He then pulled Sun Shangxiang to sit on the couch. However, Sun Shangxiang could only sit on General Xue's lap and could not be touched anywhere else.
Sun Shangxiang sat on Xue Bing's lap and leaned into his embrace. She said softly,"You've been gone for several months. Do you know how much I've missed you these days?”
"I've been gone for several months. Do you know how much I've missed you?" When I heard that Ma Chao was leading troops to attack Jiameng Pass, I was so scared that my soul flew out. Do you know how anxious I was at that time?”
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she felt as if her heart had eaten honey. She said,"At least you have a conscience!" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. His brows were tightly furrowed as if he was enduring something. However, she was in Xue Bing's embrace. The two of them were so close, how could Xue Bing not know if she was acting strangely? Seeing her like this, he hurriedly said,"What's wrong? What's wrong?" "I'm fine. The little guy kicked me again!" Perhaps this child was happy to know that her father was back!”
When Xue Bing heard this, he chuckled again and said,"Is this child so active? Kicking you all day?" "That's right!" It must be a boy. Otherwise, why was he so active?”When Xue Bing heard this, she lightly scratched Sun Shangxiang's nose, causing her to frown. Xue Bing looked at her and smiled."That's hard to say. Perhaps a girl has taken after your personality!”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Sun Shangxiang frown and say,"What if it's a girl?" Xue Bing was stunned when he heard that. Before he could react, he only said,"What's wrong with the girl?" When he saw Sun Shangxiang looking at him in panic, she asked,""Don't you want a boy to carry on the family line?”When Xue Bing heard this, he finally reacted and said with a smile,"Silly, it's not up to us to decide whether we have a boy or a girl!”Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was still frowning, he comforted her,""If it's a girl, just give birth! Besides, I like girls very much!" Sun Shangxiang only relaxed her tightly furrowed brows after hearing this. She asked,"Really?" "Of course!" Xue Bing replied.
Sun Shangxiang was relieved when she heard this. She had always thought that she was pregnant with a son. After chatting with Xue Bing today, she realized that if it was really as Xue Bing said and it was actually a girl, what should she do? Actually, this was not Sun Shangxiang's problem. At this time, the atmosphere is so, the idea of valuing men over women is very heavy. As a wife, if she could not give birth to a boy, her status would plummet. Sun Shangxiang was, after all, a person of this era. No matter how different she was, she could not avoid falling into the secular world.
She did not know that Xue Bing was not from this era. Moreover, Xue Bing did not care much about such things. She only felt that boys and girls were her own flesh and blood. What was the difference? Moreover, in Xue Bing's own opinion, even if he had a father who had transmigrated and a mother who was so advanced, how could this child be ordinary?
The two of them chatted for a long time, and Xue Bing finally managed to coax Sun Shangxiang to be happy again. In the end, she couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, and the two of them hugged each other to sleep…
The next day, Xue Bing got up early. After washing up, she looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, before turning around and leaving. The bodyguards had already prepared a horse, and Xue Bing mounted it and headed straight for the government office. Today, they still needed to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's attack.
When Xue Bing arrived at the residence, Wei Yan and the others had already arrived. When they saw Xue Bing, everyone stood up to greet him. After Xue Bing returned the greeting, he sat down and said,"Today, I summoned all of you here to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's army.”
Wei Yan took the lead and said,"We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"”
"Ma Chao is one of the fiercest generals in the world," Meng Da replied."He also has General Pang De under him, and his army is several times mine. It is better to rely on the pass to defend, I think Jiameng Pass is very strong, will make Ma Chao can not enter.”
"Meng Da's words are very reasonable." After all, the lord is focusing on how to take Xichuan, and I'm here. As long as I delay Ma Chao for a year and a half, it'll be considered a full achievement!”
Huo Jun also said," Mister Xiaozhi is right. Although Ma Chao has many soldiers, General has brought 15,000 soldiers with him. Adding on the soldiers in Guanzhong, it is not much less than Ma Chao. With the benefits of the city pass, even Ma Chao can't do anything to us.”
When Xue Bing saw that everyone had finished speaking, he said,"Everyone is right. At the moment, it was naturally the most important thing to defend this pass. But how can we sit quietly in Guanzhong and wait for the enemy to attack?”
Fa Zheng heard this and said,"According to General's meaning, should we attack instead of defending?"”"That's right!" Xue Bing smiled.
"Since General wants to go out to meet the enemy, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Wei Yan said.”Xue Bing looked at Wei Yan and smiled." Don't be anxious, Wen Chang. I never said I wanted to fight Ma Chao head-on!"”"General, didn't you say that you want to attack instead of defending?" Wei Yan asked curiously. If we don't send troops, how can we attack instead of defending?"
"Sending troops is sending troops, but it's not an attack!" Xue Bing said.”Fa Zheng listened and smiled,"General, do you have any brilliant ideas?"”Xue Bing looked at Fa Zheng and saw his confident face."This fellow must have a plan, but he didn't say it directly! Why were all these strategists like this?”"I don't have a plan," he said."I was just about to ask Mister Yu. Please teach me!"”
Fa Zheng looked at Xue Bing and saw his mischievous face. He knew that Xue Bing was joking with him, so he said,"General Xue, don't fool Yu Zheng!”Xue Bing heard this and smiled,"I'm just joking, Xiaozhi, please don't blame me!"”"I think Xiaozhi has also thought of my plan!" They are tired soldiers!"
Wei Yan and the others were confused. Only Fa Zheng smiled and said,""Ma Chao's army was originally tired and was ambushed by the general on the way. By the time they pass, they will definitely be tired!”
"If that's the case," said Wei Yan hurriedly,"we'll send elite troops to attack their camp.”"Ma Chao is not a boorish man. How could he not have expected that our army would take advantage of his fatigue to launch a sneak attack on his camp?" Fa Zheng asked. After setting up the camp, they must be on guard to guard against our sneak attacks.”Hearing this, Wei Yan asked again," That's what General Cai said about the tired soldiers. Could it be that we are continuing to harass their troops and make them unable to rest?"”
Fa Zheng was shocked when he heard this, but Xue Bing smiled and said,"Wen Chang is right. I'm making him even more tired, making him unable to sleep peacefully! How can Ma Chao attack us when the army is tired and the general is tired?”Then, he laughed out loud. "General Xue, this plan is indeed brilliant!" Meng Da hurriedly said when he heard this.”
Just then, a small school came to report that Ma Chao's army had reached the pass and camped ten miles away.
Xue Bing received the report and smiled." They're finally here. Generals, listen up!"”Everyone quickly stood up and listened to Xue Bing's orders. Xue Bing first looked around these people before saying,"Meng Da, Huo Jun, listen up." Meng Da and Huo Jun took a step forward and replied,""I'm here!" Xue Bing said," I order the two of you to lead three thousand troops each, and prepare a large number of weapons such as brass plucks and war drums. When it gets dark, Meng Da will lead his troops to the right side of Ma Chao's stronghold. The brass plucks will ring out, and the war drums will beat together. When Ma Chao leads his troops out, he will withdraw his troops and return to the pass.”Then he said to Huo Jun,"General Huo, wait quietly in Guanzhong. When the third watch comes, you will lead the army to the left side of Ma Chao's stronghold. Do the same as Meng Da!"”Then he said to the two of them,"Every two hours, you two will take turns to go outside Ma Chao's camp and beat them." The specific time could be changed appropriately. At dawn, they could withdraw their troops and return to the pass.”"Understood!" the two replied. Then he accepted the order and went to buy some things.
Seeing the two of them leave, Xue Bing said to Wei Yan,""Wen Chang, rest well today. When tomorrow morning comes, you will lead the troops out of seclusion and go to Ma Chao's stronghold to curse and challenge him. If Ma Chao doesn't come out, beat the drums. If you go out, Wen Chang can pretend to respond, and then return to the pass. When Ma Chao returns to the camp, we'll go and challenge him." "Yes!" Wei Yan also said. He also went down.
Xue Bing looked around and saw that only Fa Zheng and himself were left in the hall. The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Just as he was laughing, Xue Bing suddenly said,"Xiaozhi, you can come with me to watch this show in Guanzhong."”Fa Zheng heard this and hurriedly said,"Yes!"”After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
At night, the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and no light could be seen. Meng Da led three thousand soldiers and stealthily went to the right side of Ma Chao's camp. He then sent out a scout to report,""There is no movement in Ma Chao's stronghold. It seems to be resting!”Meng Da thought to himself,'They must be extremely tired. They're all resting.' If I lead the troops into the stronghold and defeat Ma Chao in one battle, it would be a great contribution.”After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that although this idea was tempting, the risk was too great. It was really not worth risking his life, so he followed Xue Bing's instructions and took out the blowing equipment. Then, he ordered the people around him,"Blow what you need to blow, fight what you need to fight! Use all your strength and make sure that the distinguished guests in the stronghold hear you clearly!”
With this order, the three thousand soldiers under Meng Da used all their strength to fiddle with the weapons in their hands. He blew, hit, and made as much noise as he could. It shook the surrounding valley and echoed.
While the three thousand soldiers were having fun, Ma Chao's stronghold suddenly lit up with torches and was filled with noise. In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the stronghold gate and came out. Meng Da received the scout's urgent report and thought to himself,""Looking at his reaction, he must have made preparations. Fortunately, he didn't recklessly lead his troops in. Otherwise, he would have lost his life!”"Retreat!" he ordered.”At the same time, he ordered,"Let those who can free up their hands come up a few times when they run! Wait until I give the order not to strike!”With a command, the 3,000 soldiers followed Meng Da and ran away in the blink of an eye. During this period, they would occasionally attack, allowing the troops chasing behind them to chase for a while longer.
Ma Chao led his troops to chase for a while. At first, he could still find the direction by the sound, but after a while, there was no sound. Moreover, there was no moonlight tonight, so he could not find where the troops went. He could only lead the soldiers back to the stronghold. He thought to himself, This must be someone sent by Xue Bing to investigate the situation in my camp. I have to be careful!”He did not take off his armor and sat quietly in his tent. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Xue Bing's soldiers still didn't arrive, only that Xue Bing saw that he was already prepared and wasn't prepared to attack the camp, so he ordered the troops to rest. He also took off his armor and lay down in the tent.
In the darkness, Huo Jun was leading a group of people towards Ma Chao's camp.
"Be gentle, don't make any noise!"
"Why are you knocking? You'll be in trouble later!"
A moment later, the sound of knocking once again shook the sky, echoing back and forth in the mountains.

Her large eyes were filled with tears of joy as she looked at Xue Bing for a long time before she said,"You're back!"
Xue Bing and Sun Shangxiang looked at each other for a long time. After listening to Sun Shangxiang's words, she said softly,"I'm back!" After Xue Bing finished reading, he opened his arms and opened his chest. Sun Shangxiang didn't reply and immediately rushed in. She couldn't hold back her tears anymore and they fell from her eyes, drenching Xue Bing's clothes.
The two of them hugged for a long time. Sun Shangxiang had already stopped crying. Although she was still in Xue Bing's arms, it was because they had not seen each other for a long time that she felt that it would be the most beautiful thing if they could keep hugging each other. Even when the servant girl brought the hot dishes in, she was reluctant to leave Xue Bing's arms.
"Aiyo!" The two of them were enjoying the warmth of this moment when Sun Shangxiang suddenly cried out in pain, scaring Xue Bing half to death. She quickly asked,"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Sun Shangxiang rolled her eyes at him, then smiled and said,"What else can I do? The little fellow was not obedient and kicked me just now!”
When Xue Bing heard this, he laughed foolishly for a long time. Then, he stared at Sun Shangxiang's stomach for a long time before he came to his senses and said,"You're pregnant now. Why don't you rest well?”He then pulled Sun Shangxiang to sit on the couch. However, Sun Shangxiang could only sit on General Xue's lap and could not be touched anywhere else.
Sun Shangxiang sat on Xue Bing's lap and leaned into his embrace. She said softly,"You've been gone for several months. Do you know how much I've missed you these days?”
"I've been gone for several months. Do you know how much I've missed you?" When I heard that Ma Chao was leading troops to attack Jiameng Pass, I was so scared that my soul flew out. Do you know how anxious I was at that time?”
When Sun Shangxiang heard this, she felt as if her heart had eaten honey. She said,"At least you have a conscience!" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped. His brows were tightly furrowed as if he was enduring something. However, she was in Xue Bing's embrace. The two of them were so close, how could Xue Bing not know if she was acting strangely? Seeing her like this, he hurriedly said,"What's wrong? What's wrong?" "I'm fine. The little guy kicked me again!" Perhaps this child was happy to know that her father was back!”
When Xue Bing heard this, he chuckled again and said,"Is this child so active? Kicking you all day?" "That's right!" It must be a boy. Otherwise, why was he so active?”When Xue Bing heard this, she lightly scratched Sun Shangxiang's nose, causing her to frown. Xue Bing looked at her and smiled."That's hard to say. Perhaps a girl has taken after your personality!”
Unexpectedly, this sentence made Sun Shangxiang frown and say,"What if it's a girl?" Xue Bing was stunned when he heard that. Before he could react, he only said,"What's wrong with the girl?" When he saw Sun Shangxiang looking at him in panic, she asked,""Don't you want a boy to carry on the family line?”When Xue Bing heard this, he finally reacted and said with a smile,"Silly, it's not up to us to decide whether we have a boy or a girl!”Seeing that Sun Shangxiang was still frowning, he comforted her,""If it's a girl, just give birth! Besides, I like girls very much!" Sun Shangxiang only relaxed her tightly furrowed brows after hearing this. She asked,"Really?" "Of course!" Xue Bing replied.
Sun Shangxiang was relieved when she heard this. She had always thought that she was pregnant with a son. After chatting with Xue Bing today, she realized that if it was really as Xue Bing said and it was actually a girl, what should she do? Actually, this was not Sun Shangxiang's problem. At this time, the atmosphere is so, the idea of valuing men over women is very heavy. As a wife, if she could not give birth to a boy, her status would plummet. Sun Shangxiang was, after all, a person of this era. No matter how different she was, she could not avoid falling into the secular world.
She did not know that Xue Bing was not from this era. Moreover, Xue Bing did not care much about such things. She only felt that boys and girls were her own flesh and blood. What was the difference? Moreover, in Xue Bing's own opinion, even if he had a father who had transmigrated and a mother who was so advanced, how could this child be ordinary?
The two of them chatted for a long time, and Xue Bing finally managed to coax Sun Shangxiang to be happy again. In the end, she couldn't bear the fatigue anymore, and the two of them hugged each other to sleep…
The next day, Xue Bing got up early. After washing up, she looked at Sun Shangxiang, who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, before turning around and leaving. The bodyguards had already prepared a horse, and Xue Bing mounted it and headed straight for the government office. Today, they still needed to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's attack.
When Xue Bing arrived at the residence, Wei Yan and the others had already arrived. When they saw Xue Bing, everyone stood up to greet him. After Xue Bing returned the greeting, he sat down and said,"Today, I summoned all of you here to discuss how to deal with Ma Chao's army.”
Wei Yan took the lead and said,"We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"”
"Ma Chao is one of the fiercest generals in the world," Meng Da replied."He also has General Pang De under him, and his army is several times mine. It is better to rely on the pass to defend, I think Jiameng Pass is very strong, will make Ma Chao can not enter.”
"Meng Da's words are very reasonable." After all, the lord is focusing on how to take Xichuan, and I'm here. As long as I delay Ma Chao for a year and a half, it'll be considered a full achievement!”
Huo Jun also said," Mister Xiaozhi is right. Although Ma Chao has many soldiers, General has brought 15,000 soldiers with him. Adding on the soldiers in Guanzhong, it is not much less than Ma Chao. With the benefits of the city pass, even Ma Chao can't do anything to us.”
When Xue Bing saw that everyone had finished speaking, he said,"Everyone is right. At the moment, it was naturally the most important thing to defend this pass. But how can we sit quietly in Guanzhong and wait for the enemy to attack?”
Fa Zheng heard this and said,"According to General's meaning, should we attack instead of defending?"”"That's right!" Xue Bing smiled.
"Since General wants to go out to meet the enemy, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Wei Yan said.”Xue Bing looked at Wei Yan and smiled." Don't be anxious, Wen Chang. I never said I wanted to fight Ma Chao head-on!"”"General, didn't you say that you want to attack instead of defending?" Wei Yan asked curiously. If we don't send troops, how can we attack instead of defending?"
"Sending troops is sending troops, but it's not an attack!" Xue Bing said.”Fa Zheng listened and smiled,"General, do you have any brilliant ideas?"”Xue Bing looked at Fa Zheng and saw his confident face."This fellow must have a plan, but he didn't say it directly! Why were all these strategists like this?”"I don't have a plan," he said."I was just about to ask Mister Yu. Please teach me!"”
Fa Zheng looked at Xue Bing and saw his mischievous face. He knew that Xue Bing was joking with him, so he said,"General Xue, don't fool Yu Zheng!”Xue Bing heard this and smiled,"I'm just joking, Xiaozhi, please don't blame me!"”"I think Xiaozhi has also thought of my plan!" They are tired soldiers!"
Wei Yan and the others were confused. Only Fa Zheng smiled and said,""Ma Chao's army was originally tired and was ambushed by the general on the way. By the time they pass, they will definitely be tired!”
"If that's the case," said Wei Yan hurriedly,"we'll send elite troops to attack their camp.”"Ma Chao is not a boorish man. How could he not have expected that our army would take advantage of his fatigue to launch a sneak attack on his camp?" Fa Zheng asked. After setting up the camp, they must be on guard to guard against our sneak attacks.”Hearing this, Wei Yan asked again," That's what General Cai said about the tired soldiers. Could it be that we are continuing to harass their troops and make them unable to rest?"”
Fa Zheng was shocked when he heard this, but Xue Bing smiled and said,"Wen Chang is right. I'm making him even more tired, making him unable to sleep peacefully! How can Ma Chao attack us when the army is tired and the general is tired?”Then, he laughed out loud. "General Xue, this plan is indeed brilliant!" Meng Da hurriedly said when he heard this.”
Just then, a small school came to report that Ma Chao's army had reached the pass and camped ten miles away.
Xue Bing received the report and smiled." They're finally here. Generals, listen up!"”Everyone quickly stood up and listened to Xue Bing's orders. Xue Bing first looked around these people before saying,"Meng Da, Huo Jun, listen up." Meng Da and Huo Jun took a step forward and replied,""I'm here!" Xue Bing said," I order the two of you to lead three thousand troops each, and prepare a large number of weapons such as brass plucks and war drums. When it gets dark, Meng Da will lead his troops to the right side of Ma Chao's stronghold. The brass plucks will ring out, and the war drums will beat together. When Ma Chao leads his troops out, he will withdraw his troops and return to the pass.”Then he said to Huo Jun,"General Huo, wait quietly in Guanzhong. When the third watch comes, you will lead the army to the left side of Ma Chao's stronghold. Do the same as Meng Da!"”Then he said to the two of them,"Every two hours, you two will take turns to go outside Ma Chao's camp and beat them." The specific time could be changed appropriately. At dawn, they could withdraw their troops and return to the pass.”"Understood!" the two replied. Then he accepted the order and went to buy some things.
Seeing the two of them leave, Xue Bing said to Wei Yan,""Wen Chang, rest well today. When tomorrow morning comes, you will lead the troops out of seclusion and go to Ma Chao's stronghold to curse and challenge him. If Ma Chao doesn't come out, beat the drums. If you go out, Wen Chang can pretend to respond, and then return to the pass. When Ma Chao returns to the camp, we'll go and challenge him." "Yes!" Wei Yan also said. He also went down.
Xue Bing looked around and saw that only Fa Zheng and himself were left in the hall. The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Just as he was laughing, Xue Bing suddenly said,"Xiaozhi, you can come with me to watch this show in Guanzhong."”Fa Zheng heard this and hurriedly said,"Yes!"”After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
At night, the moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and no light could be seen. Meng Da led three thousand soldiers and stealthily went to the right side of Ma Chao's camp. He then sent out a scout to report,""There is no movement in Ma Chao's stronghold. It seems to be resting!”Meng Da thought to himself,'They must be extremely tired. They're all resting.' If I lead the troops into the stronghold and defeat Ma Chao in one battle, it would be a great contribution.”After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that although this idea was tempting, the risk was too great. It was really not worth risking his life, so he followed Xue Bing's instructions and took out the blowing equipment. Then, he ordered the people around him,"Blow what you need to blow, fight what you need to fight! Use all your strength and make sure that the distinguished guests in the stronghold hear you clearly!”
With this order, the three thousand soldiers under Meng Da used all their strength to fiddle with the weapons in their hands. He blew, hit, and made as much noise as he could. It shook the surrounding valley and echoed.
While the three thousand soldiers were having fun, Ma Chao's stronghold suddenly lit up with torches and was filled with noise. In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the stronghold gate and came out. Meng Da received the scout's urgent report and thought to himself,""Looking at his reaction, he must have made preparations. Fortunately, he didn't recklessly lead his troops in. Otherwise, he would have lost his life!”"Retreat!" he ordered.”At the same time, he ordered,"Let those who can free up their hands come up a few times when they run! Wait until I give the order not to strike!”With a command, the 3,000 soldiers followed Meng Da and ran away in the blink of an eye. During this period, they would occasionally attack, allowing the troops chasing behind them to chase for a while longer.
Ma Chao led his troops to chase for a while. At first, he could still find the direction by the sound, but after a while, there was no sound. Moreover, there was no moonlight tonight, so he could not find where the troops went. He could only lead the soldiers back to the stronghold. He thought to himself, This must be someone sent by Xue Bing to investigate the situation in my camp. I have to be careful!”He did not take off his armor and sat quietly in his tent. Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Xue Bing's soldiers still didn't arrive, only that Xue Bing saw that he was already prepared and wasn't prepared to attack the camp, so he ordered the troops to rest. He also took off his armor and lay down in the tent.
In the darkness, Huo Jun was leading a group of people towards Ma Chao's camp.
"Be gentle, don't make any noise!"
"Why are you knocking? You'll be in trouble later!"
A moment later, the sound of knocking once again shook the sky, echoing back and forth in the mountains.
