Chapter 382 Ma Chao, Yan Xing surrendered to Nanyang, Zhang Fei, Shi Huanshi scolded Yuan Wei!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao were fighting outside Hangu Pass for more than twenty rounds, but it was still indistinguishable, and it was even more difficult to determine who was superior.
Zhang Fei swung his Zhangba spear and aimed at Ma Chao's heart, suddenly stabbing him in the heart. Ma Chao was so familiar with this move that he immediately dodged sideways and drew his spear back to intercept him.
Chi Leng Leng!
The Zhangba spear slid some distance away from the barrel of the gun, flashing out thousands of sparks and whizzing by from the side of Ma Chao's cheek, against his helmet, without causing any damage.
Even Zhang Fei himself couldn't help but be surprised: "What a good boy, he has only been promoted to this level for only a few days. He can compete with me back then."
"whispering sound!"
Ma Chao snorted disdainfully and looked at Zhang Fei: "If you are really as powerful as me, why are you still unable to defeat me? Is there any point in talking big?"
"Can't take you?"
The strength in Zhang Fei's arms suddenly suppressed, causing Ma Chao's silver spear to sink a little lower: "If it weren't for my eldest brother, who admires your martial arts skills and ordered me not to hurt you, you would have died a hundred years ago.
All over."
"Bullshit!"
Ma Chao exploded all his strength to the extreme, gritted his steel teeth, and gradually raised Zhang Fei's spear shaft: "Why don't you kill me to see?"
The weapons of both sides were stuck in mid-air, sometimes leaning towards Zhang Fei, and sometimes pressing against Ma Chao. The competition between the two men made the troops on both sides exclaim in surprise:
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Hoho—!
The golden drums on the top of the city sounded one after another, and the situation on the battlefield quickly reached a climax, as if the winner would be decided soon.
pity......
After all, Ma Chao was still slightly inferior in strength because of his young age, so he had no choice but to try his best to knock off Zhang Fei's weapons and enter the stage of technical duel.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Two horses, one black and one white, were fighting from left to right, and from right to left on the battlefield. The two sides were entangled together, like black and white hurricanes, constantly colliding with each other.
Even Liu Bei, who was fighting outside the city, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment: "Damn it, why didn't Yide use his move? If this continues, I'm afraid Yide will be at a disadvantage."
"It's not that General Yide doesn't use it, it's that he has no chance at all."
Shi Huan, who was proficient in marksmanship, stared at the battlefield with wide eyes and raised his hand to point at Ma Chao: "Master Xuande, look, Ma Chao is always changing and always avoids himself entering that state."
"General Yide's attack seems to be at a disadvantage, but in fact, it is inducing Ma Chao into a dislocation, creating opportunities for the next attack."
"so......"
Shi Huan was full of emotions and admiration: "General Yide did not lose, and the opponent also did not gain the upper hand. The two sides are now constantly testing and forcing each other. This battle is truly rare in the ages!"
"I see!"
Liu Bei's eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had been enlightened. He nodded slowly, completely relieved, and asked: "Gong Liu, how many rounds have they fought?"
Shi Huan replied: "It has been more than sixty rounds."
Liu Bei was astonished: "What a great Ma Chao. He is really powerful."
Shi Huan nodded: "Ma Chao is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, he is still too young. He is the same age as Sun Ce of Wolf Cavalry. If he were two years older, General Yide might not be his match."
"but......"
Speaking of this, Shi Huan said confidently: "General Yide understands the strength of General Yide. Although Ma Chao has made great progress now, it will be difficult to win, but if General Yide seizes the opportunity, he will definitely be defeated."
"So Mr. Xuande, you don't have to worry. As far as the final general is concerned, as long as Yan Xing abides by the etiquette of fighting generals and does not join the battle at will, General Yide will never be defeated!"
"Um."
Liu Bei nodded and secretly ordered: "If Yan Xing joins the battle, you will immediately go out and entangle him, and then protect Yide and slowly withdraw from the battle."
Shi Huan cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, Mr. Xuande, we have been waiting for you for a long time, and we will not delay the important event."
Liu Bei said "Okay", then turned his eyes back to the battlefield and continued to watch the battle.
At this moment, on the battlefield, even Zhang Fei himself sensed Ma Chao's strategy: "Hmph, don't you just think that if you force me not to use that move, you will be invincible?"
Ma Chao knocked away Zhang Fei's eight-foot spear with one shot, and then swung out a cold light with his backhand, hitting Zhang Fei's eight-foot spear coming back from the side with an outrageous accuracy:
"Isn't it?"
Ma Chao always paid attention to his positioning and the coordination of defensive and offensive moves. Sixty rounds passed, but Zhang Fei never got a chance to make a move.
"snort!"
However......
Zhang Fei snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "This is not a cracking move, but an escape move. I originally thought you could compete with me, but I never thought that you would make such a choice."
"I, Zhang Fei, misjudged you!"
Zhang Fei clamped the horse's belly hard, tightened the reins quickly, sat down, raised its head and neighed, leaped forward a distance: "Horse, take the move—!"
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment. He raised his eyes and looked up at the sky. A black shadow covered the sun, like a black hole. From his figure in the lake, he could only feel the opponent's movement of swinging a eight-foot-long spear and slamming it down.
"not good!"
Ma Chao secretly thought something was wrong, and while he hurriedly controlled his horse, his body suddenly sank, and he hit the falling snake spear head-on with the silver spear in his palm.
clang-!
There was a crisp explosion.
At this moment, Ma Chao felt an extremely strong force rushing in from his body like a wave. Even the gun barrel in his hand was curved in an arc visible to the naked eye at this moment.
"ah-!"
Ma Chao tried his best to hold up his body. At the same time, he tilted his body slightly, trying to pour out the opponent's power from the gun barrel to ensure that his arms would not be disabled.
But......
Just as Ma Chao turned the gun barrel in an arc, he suddenly discovered that Zhang Fei took the initiative to withdraw the weapon, the Zhangba spear in his palm started to rotate, and he actually used that move again!
"Damn it!"
Ma Chao was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out. If he were to withstand such a move at this time, even if he did not die, he would probably have to break two of his ribs.
Without any hesitation.
Ma Chao grabbed the reins with one hand and the stirrup with the other. His whole body flipped over on the horse, and then he hid his entire body on the side of the horse and hung in the air.
call-!
The zhangba spear whizzed past Ma Chao's eyes, shocking him into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided Zhang Fei's attack with this move that was close to collapse.
"oh?"
"It's interesting."
When the two horses passed by by mistake, Zhang Fei couldn't help but praise them secretly.
Although Ma Chao is in a bad situation now, he has to admit that this kid has quick reactions and super understanding ability. Given time, even he may not be able to win him.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
The horses of both sides ran a certain distance each.
When Ma Chao got on his horse and was about to rein in his horse and turn around, he was surprised to hear a cry from the top of the city:
"Report—!"
Ma Chao subconsciously turned his head and looked.
But I saw a man hurried up to the top of the city, went directly to Fu Qian, handed him a letter, and retreated, not knowing what he was plotting.
Is it possible...
Ma Chao's heart was shaken, and he allowed his horse to rush away for a short distance. He stared at the man with his eyes, but saw the man's slightly murderous gaze leisurely sweeping over his body.
At this moment, Fu Qian was holding the letter, his eyes were rolling up and down, and his expression suddenly changed. He couldn't believe that Taifu Yuan Wei would actually give such an order!
You know, Ma Chao and Yan Xing are the heroes. If they hadn't arrived at the beginning, how could they have forced Zhang Fei and others away and saved Shaanxi County.
Now, although the Battle of Hedong was defeated, Grand Tutor Yuan Kai should not have used such methods to deal with Ma Teng, Han Sui was the right one. If this happened, wouldn't it force Ma Chao and Yan Xing to defect to Nanyang?
"General Fu."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice: "This is the order of the Tutor. Ma Chao and Yan Xing must be eliminated, otherwise the situation in Guanzhong will be unstable and the stability of the imperial court may be affected."
"But......"
Fu Qian frowned tightly, suppressed his anger, and asked in a low voice: "These two are the heroes, not only for this battle, but also for the assassination of Dong not long ago!"
"Has Taifu considered the consequences of killing these two people?"
At this point, Fu Qian was already furious and seemed to want to resist this order: "How will the people of Chang'an and the people of the world view the imperial court and your majesty!"
"That's not something you have to think about."
The man became even more angry and retorted without hesitation: "You only need to obey the Taifu's order. Since the Taifu dares to do this, he must have his countermeasures. Just follow it with confidence."
"Quickly call for gold and withdraw your troops. Let Ma Chao and Yan Xing come back. Then place swordsmen and axemen at the door to kill these two people. Otherwise, if they defect to Nanyang, you will be punished by death!"
"you......"
Fu Qian wanted to get angry, but had no choice.
After all, I am just a general leading the army, while the other party is the Grand Duke and Tutor, and he serves as the Minister of Records to assist the government. To put it bluntly, his orders represent the emperor's orders, how can I disobey him!
"You are going to make a mistake!"
After all, Fu Qian still retaliated angrily, but expressed his anger in this way: "Without Ma Chao and Yan Xing, how could Hangu Pass be defended?"
The man was full of reasons: "You have more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in your hands, and the wall of Hangu Pass has been reinforced. Even the ballistae can't destroy it. How can you not defend a small Hangu Pass?"
"General Fu!"
The man lowered his voice and reminded secretly: "You are Fu Xie's son and a hero promoted by General Huangfu Song himself. Can't you do this?"
"Furthermore, if there is no Taifu, you and Huangfu Song don't know what they are doing now. Now that I have ordered you to do this, are you still thinking of refusing?"
"I......"
Fu Gan frowned and sighed.
indeed.
I have been greatly favored by Huangfu Song and Yuan Wei, so I should indeed respond to my requests.
It's just that Fu Qian himself is sad about this.
Because he knew very well the importance of Ma Teng and Han Sui to Guanzhong, and the importance of Ma Chao and Yan Xing to Hangu Pass. If he killed them like this, every next step would be very difficult.
"good!"
He pondered for a long time.
Fu Qian finally couldn't stand it anymore, and nodded in agreement: "I will send the gold to withdraw the troops now, and let Ma Chao and Yan Xing come back. Sir, you can send elite soldiers to ambush in the city gate cave, ready to take action at any time."
The man raised his head and said softly: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
At that moment, Fu Qian raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Chao on the battlefield, and his heart skipped a beat: "Come here, please withdraw your troops with gold."
Jingle bell—!
When the golden sound sounds.
Ma Chao, who was on the battlefield, felt his heart suddenly turn cold.
After all, this is the wrong time to withdraw the troops. According to common sense, if you can't hold on any longer, or if it takes more than a hundred rounds, you will withdraw the troops and take a short rest.
But this time...
Fu Qian suddenly called for gold and retreated his troops, which made it clear that it was related to the man at the top of the city.
He suddenly recalled the words of Wang Mu last night, and thought of Zhang Fei's advice this morning. At this moment, Ma Chao already believed 80% of it.
clang-!
Ma Chao knocked Zhang Fei's zhangba spear away with one shot, reined in his horse and turned around to leave.
Zhang Fei naturally did not pursue him, but just snorted coldly, as expected, what was supposed to come came.
That being the case, all we have to do next is watch the show silently. This is Ma Chao and Yan Xing's own choice.
But see...
Ma Chao hurriedly reined in his horse and turned around, appearing below the city. Even though the city gates were opened, he did not enter the city. Instead, he gave Yan Xing a wink, then looked up at the top of the city, opened his mouth and asked:
"General, today I suddenly asked for money to withdraw my troops. Could it be that something happened?"
"this......"
Before Fu Qian could answer, the man beside him bowed his head and interrupted: "Good news has come from the direction of Chang'an. Generals Ma Teng and Han Sui have accepted the appointment of the imperial court and will attend the ceremony tomorrow."
"Your Majesty is thinking about the great favor of the two generals for their survival, so he specially sent me here to take you two generals back to Chang'an and prepare to participate in tomorrow's ceremony together. You two generals, please enter the city quickly."
Have to admit it.
This reason is somewhat interesting, and indeed makes people feel more excited.
It's a pity that Ma Chao is now suspicious and naturally won't believe the lies of the strange man above.
He glanced inside the city gate, and vaguely could see a figure floating around. It was obvious that there were soldiers and horses ambushing near the inner wall of the city, which further confirmed the opponent's conspiracy.
"snort!"
Ma Chao was furious, but he was not polite, and immediately retorted: "Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, I, the general, have no time to attend any ceremony. Please go back and report to Your Majesty. If Zhang Fei cannot be killed, I, Ma Chao, will never return to Chang'an.
"
"That's right."
Yan Xing also noticed something was wrong and echoed: "This is the same for me, General."
The man at the top of the city was furious and raised his hand to point at the two of them: "How dare you two, do you want to resist the decree? His Majesty thinks highly of you, so he gave you the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the saint, but you are so ignorant?"
"snort!"
Ma Chao snorted coldly.
He became more and more certain that the man in front of him must have evil intentions: "You are a dog-like thing. You killed my father and uncle, and now you want to use conspiracy to kill us. It is simply unreasonable."
"Brother Yan!"
Ma Chao greeted: "Fuck him to death!"
Yan Xing had already put his hand on the bow and arrow. He took it out without hesitation, twisted the bow and set the arrow, clamped the end of the arrow between his two fingers, pulled it back hard, and aimed at the man at the top of the city.
"Quickly, shoot it..."
Before the word "kill" could be uttered, Yan Xing loosened his finger on the bow string, and with a whoosh, the arrow missed like a silver moon, and with a thunderous momentum, it hit the man's face.
puff!
While the man stared and fell down, Yan Xing turned around and walked away.
At this moment, the soldiers and horses at the top of the city all bent their bows and set arrows, aiming at Ma Chao and Yan Xing, whoosh, whoosh, and a hail of arrows struck and killed them.
But it is a pity that Ma Chao was well prepared. The silver gun in his palm was flicking left and right quickly, blocking all the arrows falling from the sky. At the same time, he turned his horse around and was about to escape:
"Mr. Xuande, we are willing to surrender to Nanyang, and we hope to accept you."
"Mr. Xuande..."
"..."
Wow—!
Wuyangyang's soldiers and horses fought out of Hanguguan City.
When Zhang Fei saw this, he was ecstatic. He immediately rode out on his horse, swung his eight-foot-long spear, and pierced the oncoming enemy with a spear. The snake spears stabbed one after another, either in the heart, throat, or
All the vital points in the chest can be killed with one move.
Liu Bei even ordered without hesitation: "Hurry, meet them."
At that moment, Shi Huan and Li Tong attacked from left and right, and the vast army of soldiers and horses covered them like a tide. The thick shouts of killing were overwhelming and drowned their opponents.
"Mr. Xuande!"
"No need to be polite, let's go quickly."
When Ma Chao and Yan Xing were about to salute, Liu Bei waved his hand and motioned for them to follow: "Youyi De, Gong Liu, and Wen Da are the queen, there will definitely be no problem, don't worry."
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Jin Ming exploded and sparks burst out.
Fu Qian stared at Ma Chao and Yan Xing going away, with great hatred in his heart: "Damn it! How did Ma Chao and Yan Xing know about it? It's over this time. We have two more opponents for nothing."
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops!"
Fu Qian was furious, but now that the opportunity was gone, there was no need to waste troops and horses.
Jingle bell—!
The sound of ringing gold sounded, and the vast army of soldiers and horses returned to Hangu Pass.
A wave of arrows attacked and blocked the formation, causing Zhang Fei to retreat.
However, Zhang Fei was in high spirits at this moment, staring up at Fu Gan, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Grand Tutor Yuan Wei is a wise man, and he is in control of Chang'an, so he can be at ease. However, Nanyang used a clever plan, and after losing the river east, he was defeated and fled!"
"The poisonous hand reaches out to the Liangzhou soldiers with the intention of murdering and assassinating Dong Ying; the traitor to Yuan Taifu is no less than a traitor to Dong Ying!"
Zhang Fei roared like a killing wolf, and Li Tong, Shi Huan and others followed in unison and shouted:
"Grand Tutor Yuan Wei is a master of strategy, and he is at ease in Chang'an..."
"The poisonous hand reaches out to Liangzhou soldiers..."
"..."
Over and over again, it kept ringing outside Hangu Pass.
The civil servants and generals in the city were all shocked.
Although this poem is relatively rubbish, it clearly describes the entire incident.
If the Battle of Hedong ended with Chang'an's defeat, then Yuan Wei might indeed take action against the Liangzhou soldiers. After all, there were only 20,000 to 30,000 people left in Guanzhong, and he might not be able to stop the elite troops from Nanyang.
Of course, this is just an objective factor. The most important thing is that the Battle of Hedong ended with Chang'an's defeat. Ma Teng and Han Sui, who had been waiting for a chance to sell at a good price, would definitely choose Nanyang.
At this time, Yuan Wei chose to attack Ma Teng and Han Sui, which was reasonable. However, his method was indeed a bit ridiculous. He actually wanted to murder the hero who assassinated Dong. This really chilled the hearts of civil servants and generals.
Fu Qian was furious, but he had no choice.
After all, the mouth is on other people's faces, and the ears of his own soldiers are also on other people's heads. If Fu Qian can control himself whether he speaks or listens, is it possible that he can control others?
He really didn't expect that Zhang Fei outside the city would still retain such a skill. This was clearly challenging the limits of Hanguguan's military morale, and he actually accused Yuan Wei of being a loyal traitor and a traitor, even worse than Dong Zhuo.
and hat.
Depend on!
It's so insidious.
Fu Qian stared at Zhang Fei who kept shouting outside the city, his teeth itching with hatred.
Who would have thought that Zhang Fei pointed the snake spear at him angrily, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha! This general likes you now. I can't stand my general, but I can't get rid of my general's expression."
"Brothers!"
Zhang Fei waved his hand and felt very happy: "Keep shouting!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
"Grand Tutor Yuan Wei is a master of strategy, and he is at ease in Chang'an..."
"The poisonous hand reaches out to Liangzhou soldiers..."
"..."
At this moment, Ma Chao reined in his horse and turned around. He couldn't help but be curious: "Mr. Xuande, I have a question at the end of the day. Can you answer it?"
Liu Bei pinched a wisp of beard under his chin and nodded: "Of course! General, you can ask whatever you want, and I will tell you everything you know."
"good."
Ma Chao nodded and said softly: "The information about Chang'an just came from Luoyang. How come you can know it in advance? It's so much faster than Chang'an."
"That's right."
Yan Xing on the side also had this doubt: "According to common sense, if Yuan Wei delivers information as soon as possible, no one will be faster than him. This is common sense, unless Nanyang has..."
At this moment, Yan Xing seemed to realize something.
"Report—!"
Just when Yan Xing and Ma Chao were confused.
Suddenly, a long report sounded not far away.
Liu Bei turned around and looked.
But I saw Yin Ji coming on Pegasus from behind: "Xuan De Gong, the flying pigeon from the direction of Chang'an is delivering a message."
Liu Bei took a small wooden tube and showed it to Ma Chao. Yan Xing said, "See, it's this. If you rely on war horses in the direction of Chang'an, you will inevitably be hindered by the terrain, but if you rely on flying pigeons in Nanyang, a day's journey can only take half a day."
arrival."
Ma Chao and Yan Xing were surprised: "No wonder."
Liu Bei took out the information from the small wooden tube, started browsing it, smiled indifferently, and immediately handed it to Ma Chao and Yan Xing: "Two generals, this is the information Chang'an gave you."
"For us?"
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment and reached out to take the information.
"Um."
Liu Bei nodded: "Generals Han Sui and Ma Teng have returned to Long County safely, you can rest assured."
Ma Chao was completely relieved, with tears in his eyes: "It's great, it's really great! Fortunately, the brothers from Nanyang are here, otherwise my Ma family will definitely face a disaster."
Yan Xing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's too dangerous. Old man Yuan Wei is simply bullying people too much. Don't worry, Mr. Xuande. If we follow Nanyang Hanting, we will definitely fight Chang'an until death."
Ma Chao nodded: "Yes, we will fight Chang'an until death!"
Liu Bei smiled indifferently and said softly: "Don't worry, generals, Chang'an will definitely be defeated sooner or later. Nanyang is the orthodox way of heaven, and it will definitely be revived. It is the right choice for you to abandon the secret and turn to the light!"
