Chapter 278 The acting skills of veteran actors
When they heard that Ma Su had led troops to fight back again, Chen Tai and Sima Yi's expressions changed.
Especially Sima Yi, he was sure that Ma Su was gone before he spoke. As a result, after he said the harsh words, Ma Su came back with his men to kill him.
This is embarrassing. With Ma Su's per capita combat power, what if he could find a way to be in such an awkward situation...
"General Sima, Ma Di led his troops to fight back, I'm afraid the attacker is not good." Chen Tai glanced at Sima Yi and said solemnly.
"Ma Su has always been good at using less to defeat more, and he likes to play the trick of using cavalry to break up infantry formations. Now we have only 30,000 soldiers and only a few thousand cavalry. I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with them."
"General, does he have any good strategy to defeat the enemy?"
Maybe Wuzhangyuan was so tricked by Ma Su that Chen Tai was no longer the passionate young man he was before. Not only Chen Tai, the name Ma Di is enough to make the eyes of all the famous generals in the northwest of Cao Wei instantly clear.
This man has a reputation for being evil!
So Chen Tai thought for a while and chose to seek advice from Sima Yi.
"Ahem... It doesn't matter. Ma Su's son already has a way to kill himself. He just came back to die." Sima Yi's face was as calm as water, as if he was not the one who was hunted and killed last night. Not only did he not show panic, but he looked like he was sure of victory.
"General, does he really have a good plan?" Chen Tai was a little surprised. He thought it was just Sima Yi who was being harsh.
"That's natural. Ma Di'er has fallen into my trap." Sima Yi smiled, pointed at the Shu army camp getting closer and closer in the distance, and said with a smile.
"This place is on the side of Guanzhong, hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou. When Ma Su led the cavalry to attack, he must have gone deep alone, and there will be no food and fodder to follow."
"We only need to set up camp with our backs and stabilize the camp so that the Shu army cannot engage in battle. In just a few days, Ma Su will inevitably run out of food and his morale will be low. By then..."
"We can break it in one fell swoop then?" Chen Tai subconsciously continued.
Sima Yi glanced at him inexplicably and said leisurely.
"At that time... Ma Su will leave on his own."
Chen Tai: "..."

When Sima Yi said harsh words, Ma Di also led thousands of cavalry to fight back.
Although Sima Yi's good strategy seems to be timid, in fact it is the best method in theory.
He could be sure that Ma Di was not chasing him from Yongzhou, because then Chen Tai would be the first to be attacked. Since he is not from Yongzhou, Ma Di can only chase him from the Qiang and Hu border in the north and feed on the Hu along the way.
As a result, Ma Su definitely didn't carry much food and grass. Ten days of food and grass would be a big deal. Chen Tai and others only need to stand with their backs to the Yellow River, defend to the death, and leave naturally when Ma Su runs out of food.
No matter how good you are at fighting, how can you not eat?
Of course this is the theory, but it would be really frustrating if it were implemented.
Especially when Ma Su appeared in front of the Wei army with five thousand cavalry, Chen Tai couldn't hold back his anger as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Isn't this General Chen, General Hao Zhao's Duanxiu brother? Are you coming here today to avenge your brother?"
Ma Su's words made Chen Tai's face darken instantly.
You've done so much harm to Hao Zhao, you still want to hurt me, right?
The angry Chen Tai subconsciously wanted to touch the sword, but was immediately restrained by Sima Yi.
"Uncle Xuan, calm down." Sima Yi said calmly.
"Ma Su is good at irritating others in his life, but you can't fall into the trap. At worst, you just think this kid is calling a dog."
"Hmm...huh?" Chen Tai gritted his teeth and nodded, feeling that what Sima Yi said made sense. But suddenly he felt that something was wrong with what Sima Yi said.
"Isn't this the man who likes women's clothing the most in Hanoi, Sima Zhongda? I have admired his name for a long time, but it's a pity that I was in a hurry today and haven't brought the Shu brocade with me yet. Otherwise, I will give Mr. Zhongda a set of Shu brocade women's clothing!"
When Ma Su saw Chen Tai being held down by Sima Yi, he immediately knew that the provocation would be in vain. However, adhering to the spirit of coming and going, Ma Di still planned to provoke Sima Yi.
"You fart! Who the hell likes women's clothing! Your whole family likes women's clothing!" However, what surprised Ma Su was that Sima Yi suddenly became furious and his roar echoed through the sky.
"You kid, how dare you slander me! I will kill you today to clear my name!"
With that said, Sima Yi made a gesture to draw his sword, and then said angrily while pulling Chen Tai.
"Uncle Xuan, why are you pulling me here! Ma Su's son has provoked me in my face. If I don't kill him, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our family?"
"Let me go, Uncle Xuan! I will kill Ma Su's son with my own hands!"
Then Chen Tai looked confused and was forced to hold Sima Yi to prevent him from coming forward.
Sima Yi's voice was very loud, and basically everyone in the Wei army who heard Ma Di's voice also heard Sima Yi's voice. For a time, the officers and soldiers of the Wei army were angry and angry at Ma Di's rumors.
"Tsk... Sima Yi is a good old man. His acting skills are almost catching up with You Chu's." Ma Di was a little surprised. Apparently Sima Yi was the first to avoid risks correctly after being slandered for so long.
Although this pretense is indeed quite hypocritical, you have to admit that Sima Yi's acting does work.
After some posturing, Sima Yi slipped away from the front army, giving Ma Di no chance to continue spreading rumors. By the time Chen Tai came to his senses, he was the only one left in the former army to face Ma Di.
"Holy shit! This old man can run so damn fast!" Chen Tai's face turned dark as he secretly cursed Sima Yi for his cunning, then took a deep breath and looked at Ma Di.
"Ma Youchang, if you want to anger me, you'd better save your time. We have 30,000 elite soldiers from the Wei Dynasty here. If you don't want to die, get out quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to protect your head!"
"Okay, who can't say cruel words? You fake Wei are all like this, all of them are paper tigers who only know how to brag." Ma Su rolled his eyes and sarcastically said directly to Chen Tai.
"I'm standing right here. If you have the ability, come over!"
"If you don't dare, I won't make it difficult for you. You can lose half of it. Hand over half of your troops as my captives, keep all the baggage and everything else, and go back to Guanzhong!"
Ma Di's arrogant attitude is true, right? Chen Tai was so angry that his hands began to tremble.
To be honest, if Ma Su didn't have that mouth, his record would be enough to make the generals in the northwest of Cao Wei admire him. After all, they are all veterans who have crawled over the dead, and I admire the most brave people.
It's a pity that such a fierce general has a mouth that needs to be pumped.
Seeing Chen Tai's gloomy face but still refusing to give the order to attack, Ma Su basically understood that this guy was really afraid of being beaten. He could only shake his head gently and said leisurely,
"Forget it, since you don't want to, then I'll go get my loot myself!"
Before Ma Di finished speaking, Chen Tai suddenly heard a commotion from his own rear army, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Wait a minute, the Shu army still has an ambush?"
