The battlefield with tens of thousands of people suddenly became silent. The only sound was the sound of horse hooves, and the smoke from the horse hooves was approaching rapidly!
Huang Ze's hand has already been raised above his head, and is being stared at by tens of thousands of eyes. As soon as his hand falls down, countless arrows will fly out, completely blocking the space two hundred steps in front of the formation.
!
On the other side, Ma Dai also slowly raised his hand. Although he hoped for peace talks, if Ma Chao really planned to make a last ditch effort, he couldn't just watch.
Liang Xing's troops were farther away, so they definitely had no time to do anything. They could only hold their breath and wait.
Although they have made their choice, they still regard themselves as Xiliang people and are proud of Xiliang's heroes. If Ma Chao can get the opportunity to face off against the world-famous hussar general, even if he dies in battle, there will be no hope.
It was aggrieved. To be precise, this way of death was the most suitable for Ma Chao.
Facing the Ma Chao brothers and sisters, who were galloping one after another, Wang Yu looked extremely calm. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he held the reins in one hand and controlled the horse to keep moving forward at the same speed. He gently raised his other hand and spread his fingers.
open!
"Sister Lu, it's me, I'm Xiao Wu!" No matter how heartless Ma Yunluo was, when he saw this tense battle, he realized that he was in trouble, and hurriedly shouted loudly to show his identity and purpose, hoping to stop it.
This war.
But it seemed that her efforts were in vain. The moment she saw Wang Yu making the gesture, Ma Chao's muscles tightened, and his horse's speed suddenly increased, like a red lightning, which could not cover his ears at the speed of lightning.
With great momentum, rush towards Wang Yu!
Ma Dai's guess was correct. When Ma Chao made an appointment with Wang Yu, he had no definite plan. He just made a decision based on his instincts. What to do specifically, he could only act according to circumstances.
This is of course very dangerous, but in a fierce battle, life and death should be disregarded the moment you pick up a gun. When Wang Yu fought against Hu Zhen and Niu Fu at Hulao Pass, if he was also worried about the danger, all he could think about was how to retreat.
With similar things, can he still create the miracle of luring the enemy with a single rider and defeating the many with less?
In last night's incident, Ma Chao's biggest realization was not that he saw through the nature of the Qiang people, but that he accurately positioned himself and put himself in a weak position to consider the problem, instead of being entangled in the strong position not long ago and being unable to get rid of it.
Therefore, after discovering that something was wrong with his sister, he rushed forward without hesitation.
Although he himself knew that the road ahead would be a life of narrow escape, he would first have to pass through a barrier created by thousands of crossbows, and then have to fight to the death against three, but he still did it.
He hoped to use his sister's cry to cause Wang Yu to hesitate for a moment, and then take the opportunity to rush forward, causing the Qingzhou army to throw rat weapons, and the bows and crossbows would not have room to use.
It seemed that Wang Yu was indeed affected. His raised hand was open with no intention of making a fist or dropping it. Ma Chao was ecstatic. The distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was right in front of him!
He stared at the three people opposite him, his thoughts changing rapidly. He had never met these three people, but his identities could be analyzed from the intelligence.
The military commander on the right who is holding a long-handled axe and looks like a scribe should be Xu Huang, the commander of the Taishan Army. There are many generals who use axes, but the contrast is so big that only Xu Huang has the highest reputation.
The general on the left is wrapped in red iron armor, and even has a mask on his face. However, this is not a problem for Ma Chao. The Qingzhou Army's cavalry is dressed like this, not to mention that the opponent is holding a Fangtian in his hand.
Hua Ji, who else could it be besides Lu Qiling, the leader of the Fire Army?
Both of them were good at martial arts, but compared to Zhao Yun, who had fought several battles with him, Taishi Ci was still slightly inferior. If he was willing to risk his life, he might have a chance of success.
Analyzing in his mind, Ma Chao's body has started to move.
On the surface, it seemed that he was holding the reins in his left hand and the gun in his right hand, raising the speed of the war horse to the extreme. In fact, his left hand was only holding the reins, and under the cover of the war horse, his hand had already held a halberd.
!He purely controls the horse with his feet, and the power of the horse is also reserved. It seems to be a straight line, but in fact it can accelerate or change direction at any time.
The distance of thirty steps passed by in an instant, and when he was about to enter the distance of hand-to-hand combat, the person opposite who was wearing black armor and looked like Wang Yu suddenly laughed!
The smile was abrupt and strange, and it was hard to describe the wonderfulness in words. In short, Ma Chao felt like he was naughty as a child, playing pranks on his elders, only to be found out.
No matter how clever the pranks of the naughty children are, they are just child's play to the elders. They can see through it at a glance, and it is not much of a hindrance. Most of them are tolerant and let go with a smile. The young man opposite who looks about the same age as himself showed this
, it is this kind of smile!
Only then did Ma Chao notice that when Wang Yu smiled, the tense Qingzhou army all put down their crossbows. The tense faces and murderous aura on their bodies disappeared. It was as if they suddenly discovered that they were riding on horseback.
The person who rushed over was not Ma Mengqi, the most powerful general in Xiliang, but a naughty boy who had not grown up.
Lu Qiling and Xu Huang, who were guarding Wang Yu on the left and right, made no new moves. They just watched Wang Yu approaching quickly, not caring at all about the danger contained in it.
Ma Chao felt very confused.
To be honest, he would rather face the attack of thousands of arrows and generals Lu and Xu than face such a scene. The former situation would make him excited and fight with all his strength. Now, it's just
It made him feel unsure and didn't know how to deal with it.
He didn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, but he had to say that Wang Yu's lack of movement brought back painful memories for him. In the battle a few days ago, he had not only mustered up his strength many times to rush and fight fiercely,
But every time, you fall into the trap set by the enemy, and end up being disgraced and embarrassed?
Should he continue to charge forward with all his strength, or should he check the situation first? Ma Chao was a little at a loss.
At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Although tens of thousands of people have gone to me, my dear brother Meng Qi is really brave. I admire him, I admire him!"
"Xu..."
As if he was shocked by Wang Yu, Ma Chao suddenly reined in his horse and stared at Wang Yu with a fierce look. After a long while, he sneered and said: "You can't take this seriously! The Cavalry General is clever and full of tricks.
, even Huo Qiaoqi back then could only lag behind and be beyond his reach."
Ma Chao was also frightened and had no idea what kind of medicine Wang Yu was selling in his gourd. Of course he would not have thought that Wang Yu might just be trying to hide the truth, but his martial arts and military skills were the most powerful. The thought in his heart was
Zaza, the momentum suddenly weakened, and even if he forced himself to charge forward, he would not be able to exert his strongest combat power, so he could only stop and wait and see.
"Brother Xian is so honored. Huo Piao and Yao are such heroes. How can Brother Fool be able to compare with his meager skills? Shame, shame." Ma Chao said that he didn't deserve it. He was not targeting Wang Yu's praise, but the title of that "virtue brother", but
Wang Yu, however, seemed to have suddenly become dull. He ignored all this and climbed up the pole.
"Wang Qiaoqi has the responsibility of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is taking care of everything. He will not just talk about these empty words, right?" Ma Chao did not intend to keep talking about Wang Yu. He had heard of Wang Yu's eloquence, and that was
Someone who can defeat Yuan Shao in person, how can he be his opponent?
"Well..." Wang Yu paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Ma Chao. His eyes were a little playful, but his tone was very innocent: "Brother Meng Qi's words are bad. Brother Yu is obviously here at the invitation. It should be that brother Xian has something to say to me.
That’s the right thing to say, right?”
"Uh..." Ma Chao was also stunned. Wang Yu was right. He was the one who invited him first, but he didn't expect this situation at all.
According to his expectation, Wang Yu would either be afraid of death and dare not come out. So even if he lost this battle, his momentum would win. As long as he could break out of the siege, it would not be difficult to make a comeback. If Wang Yu came out, he would definitely take action.
As for negotiations, that's just the second brother's opinion. Even if there are negotiations, he shouldn't be the one to come forward.
He wanted to laugh three times and laugh at himself. This time, he was forced to be at a disadvantage again. From the moment the opponent came out of the formation, the initiative changed hands, and even accidents were perfectly exploited by the opponent. What else could be said?
Woolen cloth?
After thinking for a while, Ma Chao organized the words and said coldly: "I just want to ask, what are your plans for pursuing the three brothers and sisters?"
If it was not absolutely necessary, Ma Chao would definitely not speak like this, because it would be too much like showing weakness. But there is nothing he can do if he doesn't say this, he can't tell the truth, can he?
This question is not easy to answer. Wang Yu’s purpose is to conquer Ma Chao through negotiation. But Ma Chao refuses to give in. Now he is just blocked in momentum and cannot give it all. If this question is not answered well, it is likely to irritate
It inspired Ma Chao’s determination to fight to the death.
However, Wang Yu answered without thinking.
"What are your plans? It's very simple. I want the name of China to spread all over the world, and the power of the Han Dynasty will be like the sun in the sky, spreading its light to all places where the sun can shine. Such a grand and great undertaking, Brother Yu alone, is sure to do it.
It is impossible to accomplish, so we need to invite heroes from all over the world to participate in this grand event!"
"..." Ma Chao looked at Wang Yu intently, as if he saw Confucius, Mencius, and Mozi resurrected at the same time. He was stunned for a while, and then he asked happily: "Are you talking about that so-called
Ping Bei Ce, right? Are you serious?"
He was disapproving of Pingbei Ce. He had been in Xiliang for so long, and what he was looking forward to was to occupy a place in the Huahua River and Mountains in the Central Plains. How could he be willing to go to a place farther outside the territory? Thinking this in his heart, his tone naturally also contained
A bit disdainful, it sounds quite harsh.
"How can national affairs be trivial?" Wang Yu replied seriously, with a look of consternation on his face: "I think your dear brother is a hero, so I sincerely invite you. If your dear brother is also focused on Wang Ding of the Han family, then what will you say?
Just don’t tell me!” As he said that, he picked up the reins and seemed to turn around and leave.
"General Wang, wait a minute!" Ma Chao was shocked and shouted quickly. He thought that Wang Yu would be patient enough to give a long speech to persuade him if he took the risk to see him. Who would have thought that the other party's temper would be even more impatient than his own?
, they actually disagreed and turned around and left.
It’s not that Ma Chao doesn’t understand the current situation and knows that the initiative is in the hands of the other party. It is benevolent and righteous to persuade Wang Yu to surrender. If the persuasion fails, it means that his benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted. In the future, the world will only say that he does not know what is good and what is good, and he is very unkind to Corporal Wang Yulixian.
Add praise.
"What did General Ma say?" Wang Yu turned around slowly. The friendly expression just now was gone. There was no expression on his face, but he showed no anger or authority.
Just as Ma Chao was about to speak, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him becoming more and more rapid. He turned his head and glanced, and saw Ma Yunluo reining in his horse, sticking out his tongue, and making an apologetic face at him.
The deep love between brother and sister made Ma Chao feel a little warm in his heart. When he turned to Wang Yu again, his words were less sharp: "Wang Qiaoqi has a reputation for keeping promises and keeping his word. It's just that Chaoruo led his army to surrender, but...
There are a few obstacles, can you ask the general to clear up the doubts for me?"
"But it doesn't matter."
Ma Chao looked at Wang Yu with bright eyes and said slowly: "First of all, although my father and brother died at the hands of Han Sui, it might not have happened without the help of Xu Shu, the noble army... Father's hatred is not
If we live together, the general won't worry about Chao pretending to surrender and repeating it in the future? The general's intention seems to be to order Chao to conquer the countries in the Western Regions. When the success is achieved, Chao's soldiers in the Western Regions will fight back. Even if the general has the power to reach heaven, he will not be able to do it again.
Are you going to have a headache for a while?"
"If you say you are not worried at all, you must be lying." Wang Yu replied calmly: "The Western Region may seem desolate, but it is actually a very prosperous place. There are probably no more than a hundred countries, and the population is even larger.
If someone unites all the countries in the Western Region and invades from the east, it will definitely be very difficult. Who is willing to go on an expedition? But..."
"but?"
"Just like the wise brother's way of using troops, if you want to succeed, you must see the target and rush forward without hesitation, instead of being suspicious and looking forward and backward. If you want to achieve that grand goal, you will definitely not be able to achieve it with ordinary means. You can only
Doing extraordinary things and taking risks is worth it!"
Ma Chao diligently observed Wang Yu's expression, hoping to find something abnormal. Wang Yu's words were powerful and powerful. If they came from the bottom of his heart, then Ma Chao could only admit that he was infected.
I'm almost convinced.
But is this possible? There are hundreds of countries in the Western Region, and it is no problem to integrate hundreds of thousands of troops. If you let someone like yourself, whose loyalty is very questionable, let him go, isn't it like letting a tiger enter the mountain? Is there really such a kind of selflessness in this world?
person?
He really didn't believe it.
However, no matter how he observed it, there was no hint of hypocrisy on that resolute face.
"Actually, you don't need to be suspicious, brother Xian. The reason why brother Yu dares to do this is because he knows that brother Xian is not a person who neglects public affairs for personal reasons."
"How do you say this?" Ma Chao was slightly startled.
"You have to ask yourself, brother Xian." Wang Yu looked at Ma Chao with a meaningful look, "Brother Xian, ask yourself, is it really necessary to avenge this father's hatred?"
Wang Yu's words were shocking. Not to mention Ma Chao's brother and sister, even Lu Qiling and Xu Huang were shocked. They couldn't figure out if Wang Yu was going to fall out with Ma Chao, otherwise why would he say such incomprehensible but extremely hurtful words?
Ma Chao stared at Wang Yu, his eyes becoming extremely complex, fierce, angry, surprised, and with a hint of doubt.
Ma Yunluo was extremely nervous, fearing that her brother would suddenly explode. She really didn't want to continue fighting. Too many people around her died, and the enemy opposite was someone she couldn't hate.
In the tense atmosphere, the passage of time seemed to slow down. I don’t know how long it took, but Ma Chao suddenly laughed.
"Brother, you..." Ma Yunluo has never heard her brother laugh like this. In her memory, her brother is a domineering and cheerful person who laughs loudly and has great arrogance. When he is so domineering, it is impossible.
It makes this terrifying sound like a night owl, which is eerie and makes people's hair stand on end.
Amidst the miserable laughter, Ma Chao said cheerfully: "Wang Pengju is indeed Wang Pengju. His ability to see into people's hearts alone is beyond the reach of Chao."
Wang Yu did not answer, but looked at Ma Chao quietly.
This smile lasted almost as long as a stick of incense. When Ma Chao stopped laughing, he suddenly turned to his sister and asked: "Xiao Wu, how do you think my father treats me?"
"...Very good." Ma Yunluo's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to recover. When he answered blankly, he still didn't understand the purpose of his brother's question.
"What's so good about it?"
"Well..." Ma Yunluo held her forehead and thought hard. She was stopped by the question.
"My mother passed away early, and my father took in several wives one after another. The second mother was a Qiang girl who gave birth to Xu Zhihe Jinyu, and the fourth mother was a Qiuci woman... Although I am older, my father has always regarded me as a
The legitimate son, the eldest son? He often made it his ambition to go to court and worship the prime minister, but he refused to teach me how to read. Instead, he invited many famous people to teach me about Xu Zhi and Jin Yuchun. Who do you think he is closer to?"
Ma Yunluo blinked, his expression looked aggrieved, but his eyes looked very sad.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there are also many bad blood between the Ma family brothers and their sons.
Ma Chao's biological mother is a Han woman, but Ma Teng has always regarded himself as a Qiang. In his mind, even Ma Yunluo, who has Qiuchi blood, is more considerate than his eldest son Ma Chao, not to mention Ma Tie and Ma Teng, who have strong Qiang blood.
Take a break.
If nothing else goes wrong, Ma Teng will definitely pass on the family business to one of these two sons in the future, and the eldest son Ma Chao will only be regarded as a family general with high loyalty and strong martial arts.
Although Ma Yunluo is young, she is very smart, and she usually sees these things. But she always thought that the bold eldest brother would not care about these things, but she didn't expect to be exposed by Wang Yu here.
"General Wang, I don't know how you can see through this matter, but I am an upright man. Since you are right, how about letting this matter go?"
"Very good." Wang Yu nodded and responded.
In fact, this matter is not difficult to guess at all. Ma Teng was a man without great ambitions. In history, he joined forces with Cao Cao. After making great achievements, he abandoned Xiliang's foundation and took his family of more than 100 people to Yecheng.
He left Ma Chao alone in Xiliang.
And Ma Chao was not polite later. Knowing that his whole family was no different than hostages in Yecheng, he brazenly raised troops to rebel against Cao Cao in the 16th year of Jian'an, and defeated Cao Cao's main force in Tongguan, making the latter angry. In the 17th year of Jian'an,
Kill Ma Teng's whole family.
It can be seen from this that Ma Chao probably does not take his father and younger brother seriously.
On the other hand, the reason why Ma Teng left Ma Chao in Xiliang and took the rest of his sons to Yecheng was because he didn't take his son seriously. He went to Yecheng to be an official and enjoy the blessings, not
He went to be a hostage. At that time, he and Han Sui turned against each other and felt that Xiliang was dangerous. Ma Chao was left behind to help Cao Cao control the situation in Xiliang. This was a very dangerous job.
With foresight and actual contact, Wang Yu effortlessly guessed the reason and successfully aroused Ma Chao's concerns.
"Another doubt that Chao has is that if General Wang wants to achieve such a grand plan, he must at least unify the Central Plains, right? Even now, Chao has not been shy about saying that before Chao led the army to attack Bingzhou, Cao Cao used Xun You as his envoy. He once hinted to Yu that under General
During this period of time when he is restrained by Chao, he will carry out a very bold strategy in the Central Plains..."
Ma Chao gave up for a moment and observed Wang Yu's expression before continuing: "General Wang should know Cao Cao's strategy. He is also very confident in this strategy. Look at the time, maybe it is almost done.
...Does General Wang still have the confidence to win?"
Ma Chao didn't finish what he said, and the subtext was obviously that it was still unclear who would win, and Wang Yu's reasons for persuading him to surrender were not sufficient.
"Hahahaha..." Wang Yu burst out laughing, and it took him a while to stop laughing. He waved his hand and said, "Since Brother Xian has such worries, how about this? Brother Xian can leave on his own today and return to Xiliang.
I will order people to provide supplies to you, and ask your wise brother to help you on the way."
"My dear brother, you can wait and see in Xiliang for a few months. If our army wins, we will act according to Brother Yu's plan. If our army is unfortunately defeated or there is a stalemate, my dear brother, just pretend that you have not heard these words today, how about you do what you want?"
"This..." Ma Chao hesitated for a moment, frowned and asked, "General, is he really determined to win?"
"Cao Cao's trivial strategy is nothing more than making an attack in the east and fishing in troubled waters, so why bother? My dear brother, just return to Xiliang and watch me defeat the enemy!"
Ma Chao didn't know Cao Cao's specific plan, but he knew that this matter would be beneficial and harmless. At the same time, he was shocked by Wang Yu's courage. He thought about it and said: "In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful. Today Chao swears an oath."
Here, if the general really wins, Chao will be willing to bow down to the general and regard the general as his brother from now on. He will never go back on his word, otherwise he will die under the arrows!"
"Very good!" Wang Yu was very happy to achieve his goal.
Ma Chao turned to look at his sister, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Besides, Chao has something to discuss with the general..." (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated.
