Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After arranging everything, Ma Su led his troops northward from Xinye again in November and returned to the Kunyang front line.

At this moment, Cao Wei's Guandong Army gathered in Yingchuan County, with more than 100,000 troops, and Cao Rui personally marched to the front line of Xudu.

As for the Shu Han side, 20,000 troops have just been mobilized from Wancheng to assist, and the total number of troops on the front line is only 30,000. Wang Ping led his own troops to garrison Kunyang and stationed the main force in Ye County, thus forming a horned force.

The Wei army and the Shu army faced off across the Jishui River in a tense confrontation, but no one launched an attack.

One hundred thousand Wei troops and thirty thousand Shu troops began a sit-down battle. What was supposed to be a bloody fight now turned into a glaring spectacle.

By the time Ma Di came to Kunyang in person, Wang Ping had been fighting against the Wei army for more than a month. The atmosphere between the two sides has become less tense for the time being.

"General Ma is so powerful! He destroyed the 70,000-strong army of the puppet Wei in one battle, making everyone in the puppet Wei fearful!" When Wang Ping saw Ma Di arriving, he immediately came up with a smile and congratulated Ma Di.

"If the general hadn't defeated the Wei army in Runan, the Wei army on the opposite side should have reached Ye County by now."

"Wei Jun has been on the other side of Jishui River and hasn't come here yet?" Ma Su looked at the outside of Kunyang City in surprise. The calmness here made Ma Su a little unbelievable.

It stands to reason that the Wei army has a hundred thousand people, so they have to test it no matter what, right? Now looking at the Wei army on the opposite side with deep trenches and high bases, it seems as if they are afraid that they will attack them.

"It's always been on the other side. They didn't dare to come over." Wang Ping smiled, looking more relaxed.

"Two months ago, when the Wei army's offensive was at its most intense, 50,000 to 60,000 people took turns attacking the city and besieged Kunyang for three days and three nights. At that time, a certain person led his personal guards to fight at the top of the city for two nights, and in the end he almost defeated the Wei army. Rushed up."

"But now, with the general's deterrence in Kunyang, even if the Wei army is several times larger than mine, we will never dare to attack rashly."

"What's more, it is heard that the puppet emperor Cao Rui will arrive in Xudu in the near future to lead a personal expedition. The entire Yingchuan Wei army is on high alert. At least for a month or two, the Wei army will never dare to cross the Jishui River to invade."

"It is said that as soon as the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty see the flag of General Ma, they are so frightened that they almost want to leave first. There is also a nursery rhyme spread in Yingchuan, which is called "Famous teachers and generals should not keep themselves in prison, and they can avoid thousands of arrows. "White robe" to describe the general.

"So I'm so scary?" The corners of Ma Di's mouth twitched slightly, feeling like he had become famous this time.

In the past, Ma Su had many achievements in which thousands of cavalry defeated tens of thousands. The most conspicuous one was that thousands of cavalry defeated Guanqiu Jian's 30,000 troops.

However, most of them were against the Wei army's second-line troops, and the real elite Ma Di was rarely encountered. Even during the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou, it was Prime Minister Zhuge who really defeated the elite of Sima Yi's headquarters, and he had little to do with Ma Su.

Therefore, Ma Su's reputation was not that scary at that time. At most, he only had a Shu general who could defeat him.

However, in the battle in Runan, Ma Di was a bit fierce. Not only did he destroy all the elite troops of Cao Wei and Huainan, he also wiped out tens of thousands of elite troops in Hebei.

Those are the elites of Huainan, and those are the strong soldiers of Hebei! The 30,000 people led by Wang Ling alone had just driven Sun Quan home to look after his children under Man Chong's command a year ago.

As a result, few people can survive against Ma Su.

Because of this, one hundred thousand Wei troops huddled in Yingchuan, not to mention Kunyang, and even Runan did not dare to enter. The generals of the Wei army were afraid that when they were leading their troops, a big white mouse suddenly jumped out from the side and wiped out their troops.

Ma Su was not very clear about all this, and it was not until Wang Ping explained it to him in detail that he gradually understood it. Now Cao Wei is falling into Ma Su's panic, and everyone is scared to death under the intimidation.

After everything was understood, a very bold idea suddenly appeared in Ma Su's mind.

"So general, we just need to hold on to the Kunyang Pass and not conflict with the Wei army. At least under your deterrence..."

"Zijun, what do you think we take the initiative to attack the Wei army now?" Before Wang Ping could finish his words, Ma Di suddenly spoke, and Wang Ping almost fell out of his seat with one sentence.

"What? General, you just said...take the initiative to attack?" Wang Ping looked at Ma Di in disbelief, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

"That's right, take the initiative to attack." Ma Su nodded slightly, pointed at Yingchuan and said seriously.

"This is the farming area of ​​the Puppet Wei Dynasty, the place where Cao Cao started. Until now, there are still more than 100,000 farming residents in Yingchuan, and there are a large number of farming villages directly under the government."

"These are all blood transfusions for the puppet Wei, allowing them to maintain a large number of troops and horses to fight a protracted war."

"Our family has a small financial base, and we are short of troops and food. If we really start a war of attrition, we are no match. So if possible, we should find a way to invade Yingchuan and destroy their farm as much as possible."

Wang Ping fell into a deep silence when he saw his general talking shamelessly about how to destroy the enemy's base by attacking Yingchuan.

Why is General Zhengbei so confident? Doesn’t he know that we only have 30,000 people at most, so it’s already pretty good to be able to defend? If we take the initiative to attack and let Wei Jun see through our reality, how can we fight this battle?

However, Ma Su didn't give Wang Ping much chance to react. His greatest advantage was his absolute decisiveness. After making a judgment and having an idea, you will quickly make a decision.

Since the Wei army won't come to fight us, there's nothing we can do. Let's cross the river and beat them!

"Xiuren, pass my order. The entire army will rest for a few days and gather in Kunyang in seven days. At that time, the entire army will cross the river and march to Yingchuan. We will go to the other side of the river to fight the Wei army!"

"Wei!" Liu Yin quickly responded without any hesitation.

"Don't worry, general, all the troops will be assembled within seven days."

Wang Ping felt bad about this. He found that General Ma had not changed at all after so many years.

You can basically achieve your goal by fighting step by step honestly. As a result, General Youchang had to step up the difficulty on his own to take on difficult challenges.

Hmm... But it seems like he hasn't lost a challenge yet.

"That's all, let's wait for the Prime Minister to decide on all this."

Ma Di then rested in Kunyang for a few days. After seven days, Liu Yin and Wang Ping gathered more than 30,000 Han troops in Kunyang.

Ma Di directly left 10,000 troops to continue to defend Kunyang, and led 25,000 Han troops. In front of the Wei army, he began to build bridges and forcibly cross the Jishui River.

To take the initiative to attack an army of 100,000 people with 25,000 people, I have to say that this requires courage and confidence. Obviously, Ma Su does not lack these two things, especially after shocking China, Ma Su doesn't even know what to be afraid of.

The Yingchuan War is about to begin.
