Chapter 66 Everything is ready
Since Ma Su arrived in Chencang, thousands of Shu troops have basically been waiting outside the city.
Hao Zhao had already predicted Ma Su's purpose, and he would definitely make people sick again and again. Opposite is probably the enemy-baiting troops sent by the Shu army, with the purpose of luring them out.
Ma Su led thousands of Shu troops to camp outside the city without paying any attention to the Wei troops inside the city.
Three poles high every day, Ma Su appeared outside the city with two thousand Qiang and Hu tribesmen. They neither persuaded them to surrender nor yelled, but kept shouting at the city with a large funnel-shaped object.
What he yelled was basically all about Hao Zhao personally, and occasionally he made up a few stories to ridicule Wei Jun for being a coward.
In just a few days, Ma Di made up at least ten stories about him, Hao Zhao. From timidity, to fear of the enemy, to disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unkindness.
Listening to Ma Su's words, it seems that the entire Eastern Han Dynasty's demise was his fault, Hao Zhao.
The key problem is that these stories compiled by Ma Su still have noses and eyes, and they sound just like the truth. There are many detailed rumors about his life that are basically impossible to prove at all, and we can only let him throw dirty water.
For example, on the third day after arriving in Chencang, Ma Di made up the story that Hao Zhao likes women's clothing and is as good as Long Yang. Not only did the soldiers look at him differently, but even the eyes of several of his confidants looked a little more complicated.
General, is he such a person?
This extremely despicable and shameless behavior made Hao Zhaoqi's liver hurt. He had no idea that Ma Su would be so shameless.
Haven't you heard that all the five members of the Ma family are gentlemen from Jingzhou? What is the difference between this shameless behavior and the hooligans in the market?
However, Hao Zhao's reason told him that he must not go to war out of anger.
After Zhang He was defeated and captured in Jieting, Cao Wei also explored the specific situation. In the end, it was discovered that although Ma Di was guarding the street pavilion, the place where Zhang He was finally defeated was Lueyang, and the person who defeated him was Zhuge Liang.
Therefore, Zhang He fell into the trap of the Shu army and attacked rashly because he did not understand the situation. So after seeing Ma Su leading the troops, Hao Zhao immediately concluded that this must be a trap by the Shu army, and dug a hole for him to jump.
So even though there were rumors in the army, Hao Zhao still couldn't hold on.
However, Hao Zhao did not do nothing. While he urged his soldiers to repair the city defenses quickly, he also sent scouts out of the city to find out the news.
With tens of thousands of troops ambushing here, it is impossible that there is no trace at all. As long as he finds their location, he can contact General Guo Huai and join forces with the Wei army in Yongzhou to deal with the Shu army.
If there really was no ambush outside the city and Ma Di was just bluffing, then Hao Zhao would never let him go.

Ma Su led the Shu army to the north of the city and began to provoke him outside the city every day, making up all kinds of jokes about Hao Zhao and bragging.
This kind of thing is not too simple for Ma Di, who was a professional Zaun in his previous life.
You can say that people in later generations are weak, or you can say that people in later generations are arrogant, but you cannot deny the offensive power of later generations.
Especially compared to the people of the Han Dynasty who pay attention to etiquette and face, giving a woman's clothes can make people popular to the point of cerebral thrombosis.
With Ma Su's provocations every day, the mood of the Wei soldiers in the city was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even four or five miles away, Ma Su could feel the gnawing eyes of the Wei soldiers on the top of the city.
"That's not true. Didn't you just make up some stories? Can't you hold on to this?" Ma Di was a little confused. It was Hao Zhao that I slandered, and I didn't throw dirty water on you. Are you so angry like this?
This quality of self-cultivation is still not up to standard.
"General, why don't you take two steps back? It's still too dangerous here." Shu Ji, who followed Ma Su, was not as relaxed as Ma Su. He had been highly vigilant about Chencang City.
"This place is only a few miles away from the city tower. If the Wei army suddenly rushes out of the city gate, you will be in great danger."
At this time, most of the Qiang and Hu soldiers following Ma Su jumped off their horses and lay on the ground leisurely. Even though the Wei Army Tower was not far away, no one had any intention of being afraid.
General Shenwei is so leisurely, so we have nothing to be nervous about.
"What are you afraid of? Hao Zhao won't dare to go out easily until he can find out our reality." Ma Su smiled and waved his hand and said lightly.
"What's more, don't you believe in the power of the Han Dynasty's flying army? As long as the Wei army dares to go out of the city to fight, they will never be able to go back."
Now Ma Su can't behave as he did before, and he is ready to cover up his current arrogance.
Meng Guo led two thousand Wudang flying troops in full uniform and lurked nearby, quietly waiting for the Wei army to come out. Once Hao Zhao really dares to leave the city, he will face a double strangulation by the Qiang Hu tribe and the Wudang Feijun.
It's a pity that Hao Zhao is very tolerant. Ma Su arranged for him to remain silent for so long.
Well, it's not that he said nothing, but he never scolded Ma Su.
"Although the provocations in the past few days have taken effect, most of the Wei people can no longer hold it in any longer." Ma Di pointed at Chencang City with a smile. It could be seen that the civilians who were repairing the city walls glanced at him from time to time, wishing they could live. Cut him.
Now that Hao Zhao is facing this group of people, he may have a headache.
"But we have to add fuel to the fire as soon as possible, otherwise Hao Zhao won't rush in easily after he finds out the truth. We have to make him angry, at least not too vigilant." Ma Su touched his chin and looked back at the camp. direction, suddenly asked.
"How is the arrangement at the camp?"
"Everything has been arranged." Shu Ji replied immediately, but he quickly reacted and looked around before continuing confidently.
"We started work quietly in the late night, and there were scouts nearby to investigate, so the Wei people would never notice it. Moreover, we only came here at three o'clock in the morning and retreated only after dark at night, so the Wei people could not detect it."
"Very good!" Ma Su was very satisfied and waved his hand gently.
"How's it going over there, Zijun? Are you ready with everything I want?"
"General Wang has sent someone to tell us. They will arrive soon. When the time comes, he will personally lead the troops and horses to escort him."
"But I heard that the prime minister has left and the new governor of Yongzhou has taken office."
"So fast? What's it called?"
"I heard he came from Jiangzhou."
"ah?"

When Ma Di was luring the enemy in Chencang City, the five counties of Longyou also ushered in the transfer of power.
After Zhuge Liang handed over power, he slowly withdrew to Hanzhong with 40,000 Shu troops.
As prime minister, he has been away for too long and must return to Chengdu to report on his duties. In the past six months without him, Shuzhong had accumulated too many official affairs that no one else could handle, and he needed to be responsible for them.
Another man led 20,000 Shu troops from Hanzhong to Tianshui, smoothly took over Zhuge Liang's power and became the governor of Yongzhou.
This person's name is Li Yan.
