Chapter 230 Chen Zhi’s shock
Chen Zhi looked at the general in front of him with great gratitude.
Chen Zhi, the grandson of Xu Jing, the great Sima of the Shu Han Dynasty, is also a member of the Dongzhou faction. However, his parents died when he was young, and he had no political capital at all, and he was not even qualified to promote filial piety and integrity.
After being crowned at the age of twenty, he could only be appointed as Cao Lang, and his status was very low.
Originally, Chen Zhi felt that his future might not be very high. Being a county guard would be great.
However, a turning point came when the battle against Wu was over and officials were selected in the early spring of the Shu Han Dynasty. Chen Zhi was specially promoted by the officials of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was admitted to the Prime Minister's Mansion as an exception.
For Chen Zhi, this was like a big pie in the sky hitting him in the face. After entering the Prime Minister's Palace and serving as an official for several months, Chen Zhi found out that it was Ma Su, the general of the Shu Han auxiliary state, who recommended him.
How did Ma Su know his name, Chen Zhi, and how did he know that he was talented? All this is unclear, and Chen Zhi can only guess that Ma Di inspected it when he was the governor of Chengdu.
But one thing is certain, Ma Su is his successor, Chen Zhi, and to him it is like reinventing his parents. Zhuge Liang sent him to be Ma Su's supervisor, also considering that he would try not to conflict with Ma Su.
After all, everyone now knows that if someone whom Ma Di dislikes stays too close to him, something could easily happen.
Regarding this matter, Ma Su can only say that he is a little at a loss. The few words he said as a joke were actually sent to Prime Minister Zhuge.
And the Prime Minister actually dared to hire the group of people he recommended.
What to say?
The Prime Minister is wise!
"Very good! Since the supervisor is Fengzong, I'm relieved." Ma Di patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder and said cheerfully.
"In the future, I will not only be responsible for the affairs of the army, but you will also be needed. However, I must say it in advance. Soldiers need speed and the military situation is urgent. Sometimes I will take some radical measures."
"Don't make a fuss about Fengzong then."
"Don't worry, General Fu Guo. As long as it's not too outrageous, I won't dare to say anything!" Chen Zhi nodded solemnly and expressed his attitude to Ma Su.
Although the Prime Minister sent me to supervise the army, I, Chen Zhi, will never point fingers. If the general needs anything, I will definitely help him cover it up.
In Chen Zhi’s opinion, how risky can it be to take another risk? At most, it requires the general to defend and the general to take the initiative to attack. This is not a problem in the face of General Ma's ability.
So he dared to pat his chest and promise that he would definitely cover it up for Ma Su.
"Very good! With your words, I feel relieved." Ma Su was overjoyed and immediately grabbed Chen Zhi's hand and said with satisfaction.
"Come on, get on the horse with me, let's attack Chen Tai's camp!"
"Okay, let's...what?"
…………

Soon, Chen Zhi was dragged onto the horse by Ma Su, and when he set off with the army, Chen Zhi felt like he was on a pirate ship.
The number of troops under Ma Di's command was not even 2,000, but only more than 1,800 at full count. With just this few men and horses, they were ready to cross the Wei River and go north to attack Cao Wei's camp!
There are 20,000 troops guarding the opposite side. Is the dangerous move of the troops now so dangerous?
Seeing this situation, Chen Zhi was instantly unsure of his decision. When he first arrived, he was not sure how chaotic the Prime Minister's sentence "If Ma Di starts to act recklessly, stop him immediately."
Does this count?
Before Chen Zhi had figured it out, Ma Su and his troops had already begun to forcefully cross the Weishui River.
The Wei River is fast, but the river is not wide, so it is not difficult to cross the river by force. With the help of the auxiliary soldiers, Ma Di arrogantly led his troops to cross the river under the eyes of the Wei army.
Not only that, Ma Di also personally got on the vanguard boat and crossed the river first with only a hundred people accompanying him.
When the Wei army on the other side of the river saw this, they were frightened and quickly sent out troops to intercept them.
More than a thousand cavalry quickly surrounded them, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Chen Zhi was dumbfounded when he saw this situation. He quickly grabbed Ma Su and said,
"Why is General Ma so adventurous? What should we do now?"
"What are you afraid of? Let's see how I defeat the enemy." Ma Di supported Chen Zhi and shook his head gently.
"You are still too nervous. You can't do it now. Feng Zongzhen needs to learn the ability to remain unchanged even if the mountain collapses before him, in order to become a qualified talent!"
Look, this Chen Zhi is so arrogant. He is so anxious even though he is so little.
Chen Zhi looked around and found that all the soldiers except him had normal expressions. Everyone looked at Wei Jun as if they were looking at a plate of food, and no one took it seriously.
This incident made Chen Zhi even more confused and felt that he couldn't understand it.
Then I saw that the Wei army had surrounded them, and Ma Di was ready to start charging.
However, suddenly, someone in the Wei army formation saw Ma Su's face clearly, and his expression suddenly changed. He just screamed and ran away.
"He's a horse butcher! Run!"
This sentence instantly ignited the fire of all Wei troops, and all the more than a thousand cavalrymen retreated in fear.
"It's Ma Su!"
"He is the Horse Butcher of Western Shu! He cannot fight even if there are ghosts and gods helping him!"
"Run!"
In just a blink of an eye, the surrounding Wei troops dispersed in an instant. The cavalry captain in charge of leading the team ran the fastest. Before running, he threw away all his helmet, red robe and other status symbols.
After several battles, the entire Wei army in Guanzhong knew Ma Di's reputation. Once he targets you, it means that Lord Taishan wants to see you.
As a result, Ma Di, who was ready to fight with awe-inspiring fighting spirit, watched in stunned silence as the Wei army collapsed thousands of miles before they even took the battle.
What's happening here?
Okay, now Chen Zhi is not anxious anymore, it’s my turn to be anxious!
"Chase me! Come and surround us, we can't let them escape!" Ma Di took the lead in riding his war horse, and led his own cavalry in turn to chase the thousand cavalry.
A hundred people were chasing and beating a thousand people. This scene shocked the fledgling Chen Zhi to the point where his brain stopped responding.
brain.exe stopped responding…
Is it because I have been studying in Shuzhong for too long and I can no longer keep up with the times?
Our Han Heavenly Army is already so powerful that we can still scare the enemy out of fear if we fight ten of them?
If you are already so powerful, how difficult can it be to support the Han Dynasty? I'm afraid it won't be long before our Han army can drink from the Yellow River, right?
In the first small encounter, Ma Su's performance deeply shocked the newcomer.
In the end, Ma Su failed to catch up with the Wei army, leaving more than a thousand Wei army cavalry to escape back to the camp in embarrassment. Facing the rows of antlers, Ma Su couldn't rush in, so he could only come back cursing.
In this gap, the Shu army behind also successfully crossed the Wei River and climbed to the north bank.
"Let's go, let's try our luck in martial arts and attract the Prime Minister's attention. If possible, we might be able to go to Chang'an to investigate... Why are you standing there? Didn't I tell you that I'm more risky with troops? Well, just get used to it!"
It’s level 4 tomorrow. I need to prepare for tonight. I’ll take a chapter off.
