"That Ma Chao is really amazing! Even General Yan Liang is not his opponent! A young soldier whispered to his colleague beside him, a hint of awe in his eyes.

"Not really! A single man rode up and down in my hundreds of thousands of troops, and picked out more than a dozen generals in a row! Alas! The soldier who answered shook his head with emotion.

The soldiers got together and chatted gossip, and the topics of the ten ** revolved around Ma Chao.

Early the next morning, Yuan Shao's army left the camp and lined up, and without saying any nonsense, they began to launch a fierce attack on Jiyin.

......

The terrifying roar hovered over Jiyin until dusk, and the people of Jiyin, who had been frightened for a day, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The war stopped for a while, and most of the soldiers of the Northern Army were lying on their heads in the city, but there were still many soldiers of the Northern Army who were busy, some of them treated the wounded, and some cleaned the battlefield and carried the corpses. There is a different scenery in these busy figures, some local people are helping the Northern Army to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield. This is a rare scene, since the Northern Army entered Yanzhou, the people have not welcomed the Northern Army!

Ma Chao marched among the wounded soldiers, carefully looking at the wounded soldiers with pride, and as long as the soldiers could still move, they would stand up straight and salute Ma Chao. No one spoke, but the feelings between the soldiers were all in this silence.

Approaching a soldier with a wounded arm, a thin civilian was carefully bandaging the soldier's wounds. Ma Chao glanced at it and was about to leave, when the man suddenly stood up and turned around.

The eyes of the two suddenly met. The two were stunned together, and Ma Chao couldn't help but think in his heart: This young man is really handsome!

In a moment, the young man suddenly came back to his senses, hung his head crimson, and twisted his hands together. Ma Chao couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Smiling and patting the young man's shoulder, Ma Chao left immediately.

It took a long time for the young man to come back to his senses, his eyes looked at the direction Ma Chao left, and he was reluctant to look away for a long time.

"That's it! People are no longer visible! A voice suddenly rang in the young man's ears.

The young man was shocked, turned his head and saw that it was his father, and his face turned even redder.

The middle-aged man sighed lightly, stroked the young man's head, and said, "He is a world-famous general, I'm afraid he won't look down on us!" The

young man's face changed, revealing a sad look, and his eyes showed a lovely expression. The young man at this time was very moving, and he didn't look like a man at all.

Yan Liang led the army to attack for three days, and the northern army suffered great losses, and if it continued, Jiyin would be lost sooner or later.

On the fourth day, just as Yuan Shao's army was rushing to attack Jiyin, a 30,000-strong army of the Northern Expedition suddenly came from the flank and caught Yuan Shao's army by surprise. The Northern Army broke through a gap and then entered the precarious city of Jiyin.

Ma Chao went to greet him in person, and found that the leading general turned out to be a general, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of surprise.

"General Zhangjaw, why are you here?" Ma Chao slapped his arm vigorously and said happily.

Zhang Jaw smiled slightly, "As soon as I learned that Meng Qi was besieged by Yuan Shao's army in Jiyin, I led 30,000 elites straight over. Is it time for me to come?

Ma Chao laughed and said, "It's too timely!" With General Zhang's 30,000 elites joining, Yan Liang didn't want to attack Jiyin! Let's go, let's go back to Taishou Mansion! The

two of them walked towards the Taishou Mansion with their arms, and the army naturally had a lieutenant general to settle down.

Coming to the hall of the Taishou Mansion, Ma Chaoyu retreated left and right, with a worried look on his face, and said: "With the current strength of our army, it is not a problem to hold Jiyin for several months!" But our army's food and grass are only enough for one day, and even if each meal is halved, it is only enough for two days!

Zhang Jaw frowned slightly, and said: "The food brought by our army is only enough for two days!"

"You have to find a way to get food!" Otherwise, we won't be able to hold out until the arrival of the Tiger Roar Camp!

Zhang Jaw nodded, and then asked, "How do I get grain?" Meng Qi already has an idea?

A cold light flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and he said in a low voice: "The people in Jiyin City have a lot of food in their hands!"

Zhang Jaw immediately understood what Ma Chao wanted to do, and immediately objected: "No! How can I do such a thing in the Northern Army?

Ma Chao glanced at his open jaw and said coldly: "So far, I can't take care of it so much!" "。 Ma Chao has not been in the Northern Army for a long time, so his thinking is still very little influenced by 'Mr.'.

Zhang Jaw frowned, there was a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, reason told him that he could only do what Ma Chao thought at present, but his long-ingrained thoughts strongly opposed this kind of behavior.

Ma Chao looked at Zhang Jaw, he hoped that Zhang Jaw would finally nod his head, but even if Zhang Jaw was still opposed, he would forcibly enforce it as the main general of the Jiyin garrison.

After a good moment, the open jaw nodded with difficulty.

"Good! Since General Junyi agrees, then I will immediately order it to be carried out!

"Wait, this measure cannot be implemented until it is absolutely necessary, and our army has not yet reached the last resort!"

Ma Chao frowned slightly and asked, "Then what do you mean...?"

"Our army has enough food for two days. Two days later, if reinforcements have not arrived, then do as Meng Qi wants. "Jaw Chang obviously doesn't want to do that.

Ma Chao nodded, "It's okay, just do what you want!"

Zhang Jaw suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "If we really do this, I'm afraid that not only will it be useless, but it will be too much!"

Ma Chao frowned, he didn't understand what Zhang Jaw meant, but he didn't ask Zhang Jaw.

The armies of the two sides fought for two more days, and the corpses piled up on and off the city. The food of the northern army has been exhausted, but there is still no sign of reinforcements. Ma Chao had to prepare to issue the previously formulated food plan.

At this moment, suddenly some people asked to see Ma Chao.

Ma Chao glanced at each other with his open jaw, and he was a little surprised. Ma Chao asked his own soldiers to bring the other party in.

The old man was about forty years old, with a fair complexion, a long beard under his chin, and a well-dressed man, obviously not an ordinary person; The younger one is about twenty years old, with a thin build, but very tall, and very handsome in appearance.

When Ma Chao saw the young man, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then remembered, isn't this young man the same young man who bandaged the wounded before?

"Is that you?" Ma Chao couldn't help but say. The young man's eyes flashed with joy, and he nodded, but did not speak.

At this time, the middle-aged man stepped forward and hugged his fists towards Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw and said, "Grass people Lin Xiong has seen two generals!" The young man behind him immediately bowed and said, "I've seen two generals!" "The sound is very crisp.

Ma Chao motioned for the two to stand up as usual, but the careful open jaw noticed something unusual, carefully looked at the young man's eyes, and finally stopped on the other party's smooth ears. Zhang Jaw was suddenly stunned for a moment, and when he saw the other party's eyes with hidden affection, he couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Lin Xiong said to the two: "The villain found that in the past two days, the soldiers in the army have eaten much less than before. The villain dared to ask the two generals if there was a shortage of food in the army?

Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw's brows furrowed at the same time.

Seeing this, Lin Xiong hurriedly said: "The villain is a merchant in the city, and he is willing to take out the food at home for the army in an emergency, and call on his peers to support the army!" The

two were stunned for a moment, and Ma Chao asked urgently, "How much grain can you take?"

"The villain has a thousand loads of grain, and the villain is willing to give it all to the army; In addition, the merchants in the city were able to give up about 5,000 loads of grain in total! Lin Xiong replied respectfully.

If this Lin Xiong's words were true, then at least 5,000 quintals of grain could be raised, which was enough for the army in the city to eat for more than ten days.

"If this is the case, then Boss Lin and the merchants in the city will be rewarded by our northern army. But when will the grain be delivered to the barracks? Jaw asked.

Lin Xiong said with a smile: "The villain's 1,000 loads of grain have been transported to the barracks. As for the grain from other merchants, it will also be brought into the barracks tomorrow at the latest.

Ma Chao and Zhang Jaw exchanged a look, Ma Chao stood up and laughed: "Boss Lin is so generous, I will thank you on behalf of the Northern Army!" When the war here is over, I will definitely report to the lord about Boss Lin's righteous deeds!

Lin Xiong was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

When Jiyin's offensive and defensive battle entered the seventh day, the Tiger Roar Battalion of the Northern Army finally arrived.

Zhang Fei led 40,000 tiger roaring battalion iron cavalry to suddenly launch a surprise attack after Yan Liang's flank, and set foot on the seven camps of Yuan Shao's army in one fell swoop. Zhang Fei took the lead and cut off Yan Liang's Chinese army commander's flag.

Yan Liang led the rout army to retreat dozens of miles in panic.

At this point, the siege of Jiyin was lifted.

The news of Yan Liang's defeat quickly reached Yuan Shao's ears, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but be annoyed.

"Chen Chu is really too deceitful! first raided my Wei County, and now they have taken my Liang County and Jiyin Liang County in a row! Does he really think that I, Yuan Shao, am a bully? Yuan Shao roared angrily.

The judge immediately came out and said: "The Northern Army is a tiger and a wolf, and our army must no longer be involved with the Northern Army, otherwise today's events will be repeated!"

Yuan Shao frowned, did not speak, and his expression changed.

Xu You saluted Yuan Shao, and then retorted, "It's not right to judge you!" The lord was all deceived by you to temporarily break the covenant of the Northern Army, and now our army is in an embarrassment, but you are pushing the responsibility elsewhere, don't you know the word 'shame'?

"Xu You, don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense?!" Xu You smiled coldly and asked, "You are the one who offered advice to the lord to accept Cao Jun's request for peace?" The

judge frowned, unable to refute, and did not speak.

Xu You continued: "If our army adheres to the alliance with the Northern Army, then even if Yanzhou is defeated by the Northern Army today, we have reason to ask the Northern Army to hand over Yanzhou to us, because the holy decree clearly states that the governance of Yanzhou will be handed over to the lord; And now, our army has reneged on the covenant first, which is tantamount to violating the holy decree, how can we justifiably ask the Northern Army to hand over Yanzhou to us? Even if you start an army, it is not justified! Hearing

Xu Yu say this, the trial was angry, but things have developed to the point where they are now, and he can't argue at all. trembling his fingers pointed at Xu You, who was talking eloquently, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
