    "You little thief, please die!!!!"

    As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, the gentian silver spear flew out quickly. Yang Ren couldn't avoid it, and saw a blood flower suddenly explode on his neck. Ren gave a miserable scream and fell off his horse.

    Yang Ang led his troops from another route and arrived in a roundabout way. When he saw Zhao Yun killing Yang Ren, he was shocked. Just when he was panicking, Pang De suddenly led his troops to kill him from behind.

    "Evil thief, watch the knife!"

    Pound galloped forward, and the lion-headed machete suddenly flew up. Yang Ang was stopped by Pangde, and before he could react, the lion-headed machete flew to his neck.  There was a crisp sound, Yang Ang's head flew into the sky, and his body was separated.

    Pang De killed Yang Ang, and Yang Ang's troops fled in panic.

    Pang De led the army to kill Yang Ang's troops. At the same time, Zhao Yun had already killed Yang Ren's troops and rushed to Zhang Lu's stronghold.  When Ma Chao arrived with most of his troops, Zhao Yun and Pang De had already occupied the village gate.  Ma Chao was in a state of confusion when suddenly there was a loud shout from behind. Wen Han was leading a large army of soldiers and horses to attack from both sides.  The people under Ma Chao's command were in chaos. They fled in all directions, throwing away their helmets and armor.  Ma Chao could not stabilize the chaotic situation, and saw that the morale of the civilian army was like a rainbow, and they fought bravely to kill the enemy. Every soldier was as good as ten. He knew that the defeat was certain, and he wanted to break out.

    Ma Chao led a group of soldiers and horses to break through the encirclement somewhere and bumped into Pang De. As soon as De saw Ma Chao, he patted his horse and rushed to fight.  At the same time, Zhao Yun seemed to have noticed Ma Chao and was rushing towards him at full speed.  Ma Chao was very anxious when he saw this and shouted to Pang De quickly.

    "Pang Lingming, you are deeply favored by our Ma family! Are you really trying to kill me today!?"

    Pang De frowned, his mind wavered a little, and his figure suddenly slowed down.  Ma Chao took the opportunity to rein in his horse and ran away. When Pang De pursued him again, he was blocked by Ma Chao's horsemen.  For some reason, Pang De's sword swing was much slower than usual, and it took him a while to break through.

    At this time, Zhao Yun rushed over. Seeing Ma Chao fleeing away, his handsome face showed a hint of anger. After giving Pound a cold look, he chased after him. De felt guilty in his heart, and he chased and killed without losing his mind¡Ô  Yun chased him for a while, but because he was unfamiliar with the terrain, Ma Chao escaped.

    At this point, Wenhan captured Zhang Lu's army's strongholds. Taking advantage of the victory, he pursued them and led his troops to kill Xiangyang Wuguan, hoping to attack the pass in a frantic manner.

    It is said that Ma Chao led his defeated troops back to Yangping Pass and came to see Zhang Wei. When Wei learned that Ma Chao had lost his camp shed, he was in great panic and was at a loss what to do.  Suddenly, there was a huge dust storm outside the gate, and the shouts of killing shook the world.  The defenders at the gate were all frightened and panicked.

    Zhang Weigu could not ask Ma Chao why, so he quickly ordered Ma Chao to lead his troops to prepare for resistance.  Ma Chao got the order and went out to take command.  Unexpectedly, the soldiers in Guan Guan were in chaos, and there had been several waves of deserters.  Ma Chao looked ferocious, armed with a brocade and silver lion's tooth spear and a troop of soldiers and horses, and killed seventy or eighty deserters in a row, but still could not suppress the signs of deserters.  There were screams when the gate was closed. Zhang Wei heard the sound and rushed over. Seeing the signs of desertion, he was out of control. Seeing that Wenhan's army was about to kill him, the guard knew that he could not resist and could not hold Yangwuguan, so he quickly ordered his soldiers to abandon the pass and flee.  After receiving the order, the generals hurriedly led the troops out of the pass and left to see Nanzheng.

    Wenhan led troops from various ministries to attack, but Yangwuguan was empty. Wenhan easily captured Yangpingguan and merged with other villages.  Wen Han stopped when he saw the situation was good, and no longer asked the soldiers to pursue him. He first took a rest and recuperated to recuperate his energy.

    That night, Pang De suddenly asked to see him, and Wen Han called him in.

    "Please, my lord, punish me!"

    Pang De knelt on his knees, with a look of shame on his face, and lowered his head to sue. He thought that Zhao Yun would definitely tell Wen Han about his mistakes today.  Although Wenhan has never been called to trial.  But Pang De thought about it and came to apologize on his own.

    Wenhan was slightly startled, but he said doubtfully.

    "Why is this happening? I have never heard anyone say that you are wrong at all, and I am also on the battlefield today. You have not committed any crime, so what crime do you have?"

    Pang De was heartbroken and secretly said that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. It turned out that Zhao Yun never complained in front of Wen Han.  Even so, Pang De felt guilty and confessed.

    "I was deceived by Ma Mengqi today, so I let him escape! I know that my crime is unforgivable, so I came here to apologize!"

    "Oh? So it turns out that this is the case¡î Ming Kuai, please get up. People are not grass and trees, no one can be ruthless. You have been deeply favored by the Ma family since you were a child, and it is understandable that you were temporarily confused. However, it is absolutely impossible to make such mistakes clear  Don¡¯t do it again and again. Remember this lesson, and keep your heart when we meet again in the future.¡±

    Wenhan didn't seem to be angry at all, and he felt even more guilty after hearing this. On the contrary, he felt that Wenhan punished him severely, which made him feel better.

    Of course, this is Wen Han¡¯s way of governing people, and it is so subtle that I won¡¯t go into details yet.

    It is said that Zhang Wei and Ma Chao led the defeated army to see Zhang Lu and Lu heard that they had lost Yangwuguan. They were shocked and the guards were afraid that they would be killed. They said that Ma Chao had lost the pass villages and therefore guarded the pass.Lu was furious and wanted to kill Ma Chao.

    Ma Chao¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he quickly knelt down to escape the sin.

    "Lord, calm down. I once warned Yang Ren and Yang Ang that Wen Bufan is treacherous and changeable. If he retreats without a fight, he must be cheating. Don't pursue Wen Bing. Ren and Yang Ang are unwilling to listen. They are cheating on me.  The general who surrendered insisted on leading his troops to pursue him, so he was defeated. This is a lesson to my lord!"

    Yang Ren and Yang Ang are dead, and there is no evidence of their deaths. Ma Chao can justify his explanation. Lu's face darkened, and Ma Chao cast a secret look at Ma Dai behind him.  Although Ma Dai was not ashamed of such behavior, in order to save Ma Chao's life, he had no choice but to do it without conscience.

    "My lord, this actually has nothing to do with our brothers. Ren and Yang Ang have always been arrogant, arrogant, and despised the heroes of the world. This defeat is all because of these two!"

    After Zhang Lu heard this, he silently turned his eyes to Yan Pu. He seemed to be thinking about it, and glanced at Ma Chao coldly. Ma Chao felt chilled all over.  At this moment, his life depends on Yan Pu's thoughts.

    "My lord. From what I have seen, what the general said is not unfounded. Ren and Yang Ang are indeed somewhat unrestrained in their daily behavior. No one in Hanzhong, except the lord, will pay attention to these two people."  The general has just joined the army and his military power has not yet been established. It is indeed difficult to control Yang Ren and Yang Ang. "

    "Hmph! If you fail to succeed, you will fail! Yang Ren and Yang Ang deserve to die!"

    Zhang Lu immediately believed this and shouted coldly.  Ma Chao calmed down for a moment, then Yan Pu suddenly changed the topic and said again.

    "However, General Ma is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he is also responsible for today's defeat. If he is exempted from guilt, I am afraid that the generals in the army will say that the Lord's military laws are not strict!"

    When Zhang Lu heard this, his sinister eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked at Ma Chao.  Ma Chao gritted his teeth and quickly raised his hands in greeting.

    "I am willing to accept my crime and perform meritorious service. If I ask for an army to challenge again, I will definitely kill Wen Bufan! If I fail to win, I will be willing to accept military orders!"

    As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Ma Dai's expression changed drastically on the spot, and it was too late to stop him!  At first, Ma Chao had more than fifteen soldiers and horses under his command, and he was assisted by Pang De, Cheng Gongying and other powerful generals, but he still could not defeat Wen Han.  At this time, Ma Chao's general is no more than himself, he has no advisers, and his soldiers and horses are no more than other people's soldiers!  In Ma Dai's view, Ma Chao's act of issuing a military order was tantamount to seeking death!

    "Hahaha! Okay! Since Meng Qi is willing to issue a military order, it seems that we have a plan to defeat the thief! I can rest easy!"

    Zhang Lu laughed loudly and hurriedly ordered someone to take the military order.  Ma Chao took the petition and left immediately.  The next day, Ma Chao mounted his horse and led ten thousand troops to leave Nanzheng and go down to the stronghold.  But he said that Wen Hanti's army was about to advance. He ordered Xu Huang to lead five thousand troops and sent out sentries on Nanzheng Road. They were facing Ma Chao's army and horses, and the two armies spread out.  Ma Chao sent Ma Dai to ride out, and Xu Huang rode out to meet him. The two fought for twenty or thirty rounds without deciding the outcome.  Ma Chao thought that Xu Huang was Wenhan's sworn brother. If he could capture him, he would be worth ten thousand troops.  So Ma Chao picked up his bow secretly, while Xu Huang was fighting fiercely with Ma Dai, and the fight was fierce.  Unexpectedly, Ma Chao suddenly fired an arrow and made a sneak attack. Xu Huang was shot in the right shoulder and retreated in pain.  Ma Dai came to chase him, but Xu Huang suddenly turned around and struck out with an axe. Ma Dai was not prepared for this and hurriedly evaded, losing his momentum and falling off his horse. When Huang was about to kill Ma Dai, Ma Chao fired three more arrows, almost killing him.  Zhongxu Huanghuang didn't dare to entrust him, so he galloped back to the formation.  Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the army to cover up and kill Xu Huang. Xu Huang was injured. He also knew that Ma Chao was powerful and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to retreat.  Ma Chao fought for a while, killing nearly a thousand soldiers of the civil army, and then returned to the stronghold.

    That night, Wenhan's army arrived and heard that Xu Huang had been injured by an arrow and was defeated for a while.  Wenhan was shocked and came to visit quickly.  Fortunately, Xu Huang's injury was not serious. As long as he rested for some time, the arrow wound on his shoulder would be healed.

    Ma Chao is like a ghost who has been entangled for a long time.  This man's martial arts are extraordinary. If he is not careful, he will be defeated and will die.  Wenhan regarded it as a thorn in his side and wanted to get rid of it.

    At night, Wen Han gathered his subordinates Wen Wu under the tent to discuss.

    "The hatred between Ma Mengqi and me is inextricable, and they are incompatible with each other. Fortunately today, Gongming did not hurt any vital parts, otherwise I would regret it! I want to eradicate him, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

    Wenhan¡¯s face was dark and Xu Huang was injured, which sounded the alarm for him.  The desire to get rid of Ma Chao is particularly urgent now!  Cheng Gongying pondered for a while and went to pay his respects.

    "Don't worry, my lord. Ma Mengqi is no better than a common man. Someone has a plan and may be able to capture this man!"

    "Oh? Ji Cong'an comes out, Gongying, tell me quickly!"

    Wenhan looked happy and asked.

    "Ma Mengqi is arrogant by nature and thinks he is invincible. My lord can have all the generals in his tent fight with Ma Mengqi to make him weak, and then order a peerless tiger general to capture him!"

    Cheng Gongying¡¯s eyes flickered, and Wen Han nodded slightly after hearing this.

    "This is a very clever plan, you should give it a try."

    So, the next day Wen Han led his army to set up a formation, and the generals lined up.  Ma Chao heard that Wen Han's soldiers and horses were coming, so he led his troops out of the stronghold to line up to attack the enemy.?Immediately under the gate flag.  Wen Han glanced at Zhou Cang first, and Zhou Cang understood it in his mind. He rode out first, shouted loudly, came to Ma Chao's formation to challenge him, and bluntly said that Ma Chao was coming to fight.

    Ma Chao looked down on Zhou Cang, and when he scolded him like that, he immediately flew out in anger.  Zhou Cang rushed over with his sword and fought with Ma Chao for several times. The clash of swords and guns was fierce, and suddenly Zhou Cang reined in his horse and retreated.  When Ma Chao saw that Zhao Yun and Pang De were present in Wenhan's formation, he did not dare to pursue him rashly and immediately shouted.  Wen Han then turned his attention to Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao raised Fang Tian's painted halberd and rushed out on horseback.  When Ma Chao saw Zhang Liao rushing towards him, his face hardened. Zhang Liao was famous for his sharp edge and was famous all over the world. Ma Chao did not dare to underestimate his enemy. After Liao came to kill him, Ma Chao fought cautiously. Fang Tian's painted halberd and brocade silver lion tooth spear were flying like thunder and strong wind.  There were dozens of rounds of fierce fighting, and the soldiers on both sides exclaimed in surprise, secretly believing that the two generals had extraordinary martial arts skills.
