Ma Chao has extraordinary strength. At a young age, he is already invincible in Xiliang. His father Ma Teng sent him to Luoyang, saying that he wanted him to be an official. In fact, Ma Chao knew that he wanted him to be a hostage.
of.
Ma Chao also recognized it.
Anyway, he is not taken seriously at home, after all, he is not a direct descendant.
After Ma Chao arrived in Luoyang, his martial arts skills were quickly discovered by Xun Yu. He was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu and was appreciated by Cao Cao. Cao Cao took him on expeditions and sometimes took him with him to meals. Such reliance and recognition made Ma Chao
He felt different emotions.
It seems like the long-lost father's love.
It seems to be recognition and respect.
In addition to Cao Cao's respect and recognition for him, Cao Ang also cared about him very much and treated him like a younger brother.
Ma Chao thinks this kind of environment is quite good.
Ma Chao didn't feel that he, the hostage, had any inferiority complex. He was under Cao Cao's command, but he felt at ease with Cao Cao. But in Ma Chao's heart, he was as proud and unruly as ever. He was actually called a horse by Xu Chu, and he immediately became angry.
With a flick of his spear, he galloped forward and charged forward.
In the blink of an eye, he was competing with Xu Chu.
With swords and guns clashing, the two fought evenly at first, with no clear winner. The two exchanged more than ten moves in a row, going back and forth, which was very intense.
When Cao Cao saw the fighting scene, his pupils shrank, showing a hint of surprise, and shouted: "Cao Ang!"
"Father!"
Cao Angce came immediately.
Cao Cao looked strange and said, "I remember that the personal guard beside Lu Xuan was a man named Zhou Tai. Is that correct?"
"No!"
Cao Ang answered firmly.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "This man named Xu was killed from Lu Xuan's side. At first glance, he was Lu Xuan's bodyguard. Where did Lu Xuan recruit such a tiger general? After a while, Lu Xuan
There are different methods."
Cao Ang also stared straight ahead.
There is expectation in his eyes.
Following his father's order, he came into contact with Ma Chao. After some contact, although Ma Chao had a colder personality, in fact, in Cao Ang's eyes, he was just a colder brother.
His treatment of Ma Chao was not much different from that of other people, except that he had more care in life.
After getting along for a long time, he felt that Ma Chao was very good.
Cao Ang saw that Xu Chu's sword was faster than the other. Ma Chao was evenly matched at the beginning, but gradually became unable to follow up. Cao Ang also became nervous and said quickly: "Father, the person Lu Xuan arranged is too powerful, I'm afraid Meng Qi will not be able to defeat him."
Cao Cao's expression became even more solemn.
He looked in Lu Xuan's direction and seemed to see Lu Xuan looking over.
For a moment, Cao Cao's face felt a little hot.
Shame on you!
This time, Lu Xuan was proud again.
Ma Chao, who was competing on the battlefield, was slowly suppressed by Xu Chu. After all, he was only in his early twenties, so he was not very old. Even if he tried hard to attack, he was still suppressed by Xu Chu.
"Ma, you are a young bird like you. You don't even have a few hairs. You still want to fight with the master. You are overestimating your own abilities."
The long knife spun in the air and struck down hard.
Ma Chao raised his gun to block.
clang!!
There was a deafening impact, and under the huge backlash force, Ma Chao's hand holding the spear was numb and painful, and the tiger's mouth felt like it was about to tear. He was unwilling to admit defeat, his eyes were split, and he fought back with the spear.
Even so, he is still invincible.
With the continuous battles, Ma Chao was increasingly at a disadvantage and was in danger of being defeated at any time.
"Dang! Dang!!"
Suddenly, the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops came from behind Ma Chao.
When Ma Chao heard the sound, he did not hesitate and fired a shot with all his strength, slightly forcing Xu Chu to fight back. He took advantage of this gap and quickly retreated.
Xu Chu never pursued him.
There was a proud look on his rough face, he pointed the knife in the direction of Cao Cao, and shouted loudly: "Cao Cao, Xu Chu is here, do you dare to fight?"
Cao Cao frowned when he heard the shouting.
He just saw that Ma Chao was defeated and gave the order to withdraw.
Ma Chao rode back and came to Cao Cao. With a look of shame on his face, he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "I am incompetent. I failed to defeat Xu Chu. Instead, I have lost my lord's face. Please punish me."
Cao Cao laughed instantly and said easily: "Meng Qi, you are only twenty years old and are just starting out. But the opponent looks like he is in his thirties and is in his prime. You are too young now, so it is normal for you to lose to the opponent."
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. If you lose, you will lose. It's no big deal."
"It's just a challenge."
"What you have to do is remember the feeling of failing this challenge and keep honing your martial arts skills. When you go to the battlefield again in a few years, see if Xu Chu can still beat you."
Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu and seemed to have a strange feeling.
It's just that he has no time to care about it and keeps appeasing Ma Chao. This is his future tiger general and he will definitely be a strong general carrying the flag in the future.
Cao Cao said in a deep voice: "Meng Qi, do you understand?"
"You will finally understand!"
Ma Chao clenched the barrel of his gun and replied stubbornly through gritted teeth. He turned around and glanced at Xu Chu bitterly, writing down Xu Chu's appearance.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said: "Get up."
"Thank you, Lord."
After Ma Chao stood up, he stood aside honestly. It was just his pride that made him very angry. He was determined to further strengthen his practice and never let such a thing happen again.
.
"My lord, the last general invites you to fight."
Dian Wei stood up and spoke loudly.
There was a strong fighting spirit in his eyes, and he was worried about the humiliation of his ministers. Now that Xu Chu was showing off his power, he stood up directly.
Cao Cao glanced at Lu Xuan's direction and then at Xu Chu. He was a little unwilling to lose and nodded: "Go ahead."
Dian Wei carried an iron halberd and rushed out on horseback, shouting loudly: "Xu Chu, Grandpa Dian is here."
After Dian Wei fought his way out, he soon fought with Xu Chu.
Both of them are tiger generals.
Moreover, they are all known for their strength.
The two men fought fiercely on horseback, going back and forth, and the fight was fierce. In a short period of time, it was impossible to determine the outcome.
Lu Xuan saw it in his eyes. It was difficult to judge the outcome of his fight against Dian Wei and Xu Chu for a while, because both of them were very powerful. In the novel, the two had a big battle in Gepo, and after a whole day of fighting, it was not easy to judge.
No victory or defeat in sight.
In order to determine the winner in such a fight, external factors need to intervene. Or, if Xu Chu uses the 'naked fighting move', when the adrenaline rushes, he may be able to suppress Dian Wei.
Lu Xuan thought about it in his mind and came up with a plan.
Lu Xuan never liked being passive. Since the contest between Xu Chu and Dian Wei could not be decided in a short time, he took the initiative to create opportunities so that Xu Chu could suppress Dian Wei and win the battle.
