Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Several years later, Ma Chao took advantage of Meng Huo's troops to invade Yizhou. In order to realize his ambition, he did not hesitate to use a beauty trick to seduce Mrs. Zhu Rong and murder Meng Huo.  Then Ma Chao turned away from the Southern Barbarians and cut through the chaos with a sharp sword, becoming the king of the Southern Barbarians.  After nearly ten years, Ma Chao finally gained power. The Southern Barbarians had a vast territory and a huge population.  Ma Chao worked hard and with the help of the Zhurong tribe, he not only won the support of all the cave masters of the Southern Barbarians, but also defeated Ugo, with nearly 200,000 troops.  Ma Chao was ambitious, and although he had already gained momentum, he deliberately used Liu Bei to defend against the troops in the northwest, hoping that both sides would suffer losses and reap the benefits.  Therefore, Ma Chao was still nominally a minister under Liu Bei.  At that time, the war in Xichuan broke out again. Wen Han raised 200,000 troops and went to Jiameng Pass.  Ma Chao was recruited by Liu Bei and led his troops to the front line.  However, he met Guan Yu, the current 'Martial Saint', and was burned by tens of thousands of his troops.  After that, "Feng Chu" Pang Tong became an official in the Western Tang Dynasty.  Because Ma Chao and Liu Bei were suspicious of each other, Pang Tong succeeded and flooded three villages.  Ma Chao suffered heavy casualties, and feared that Liu Bei would blame him, so he fled back to the southern barbarians.  Later, Ma Chao saw the fierce battle between the Northwest Army and the Sichuan Army and quickly regrouped.  At this time, Zhuge Liang sent a military order to instruct Ma Chao to attack Xiliang.  This just fulfilled Ma Chao's wish.  So Ma Chao immediately raised his troops, taking advantage of the emptiness of Xiliang, and made great progress all the way to Tianshui, but was blocked by Li You again.  Ma Chao did not have any wise counselors under his command. When he was hesitating, Kuai Liang came to help him.  At the same time, his lifelong "old enemy" Zhao Yun arrived with reinforcements. Seeing that Tianshui was difficult to attack, Ma Chao followed Kuai Liang's plan and marched dangerously to attack Nan'an.  Liang Xing, the prefect of Nan'an, fell into Kuai Liang's plan of false surrender and lost his only son, and was later angered to death by Kuai Liang.  Ma Chao easily captured Nan'an and shocked Xiliang.  Ma Chao immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue the attack and responded to the remnants of the Ma family in Longxi.  At this time, once Longxi is lost, Ma Chao can drive straight into the hinterland of Xiliang, and then unite the remaining counties and Xiqiang to build a foundation.  At that time, according to Zhuge Liang's plan, the Sichuan soldiers will march forward bravely and kill Dongchuan, making it impossible for the northwest army to look at each other.  In this way, Xiliang became Ma Chao's target.  Ma Chao can then separate Xiliang and use the power of the southern barbarians to form a separate force to compete with the four kingdoms of Tang, Shu, Wei and Wu for the world.  This is the opportunity that Ma Chao has closest to his ambition in his life.  Unexpectedly, Feng Chu's "Pang Tong" knew things well and taught Wen Han to recruit reinforcements and rush to Longxi to stabilize the chaotic situation with lightning speed.  Longxi was certain, and Ma Chao was in a dilemma.  At the same time, Zhao Yun and Li You defeated their powerful soldiers and horses. Ma Chao's original advantage suddenly disappeared, and his power collapsed instantly.  Ma Chao led his remaining soldiers to defeat, and after a narrow escape, he fled to the Ugo Pass. Unexpectedly, Kuai Liang suddenly betrayed him, and Ugo defected to Shu.  Ma Chao was cornered and seriously injured, and a powerful enemy attacked later. It could be said that it was the end of a hero.

    The scenes of a lifetime pass by in an instant like light and shadow.  Ma Chao felt endless sadness and unwillingness, but had nowhere to express his feelings.

    Within the potential space, the snake-tailed white lion suddenly let out a mournful cry, as if most of its strength had been drained away, showing its decline.  The silver dragon screamed loudly, its body wandered, its mouth opened wide, thunder rolled in its mouth, and it bit the snake-tailed white lion's neck, tearing off its head.

    The sound of ¡®boom¡¯ was like a sudden collapse of the sky, and wind and dust surged into the sky.  The brocade and silver lion tooth gun in Ma Chao's hand suddenly flew away and fell to the ground.

    In the dust, Zhao Yun straightened up his gentian silver spear and struck it suddenly, stabbing Ma Chao in the throat.  Zhao Yun glared fiercely, shouted to avoid it, and even tried his best to stop it!  Ma Chao's face was covered with blood. He looked at the gentian silver spear thrust by Zhao Yun. He could clearly avoid it, but he remained motionless, with a smile of relief on his lips.

    At the same time, Mrs. Zhu Rong woke up unexpectedly and was riding a fast horse flying over.  Mrs. Zhu Rong had already discovered Ma Chao's will to die, and her tears were streaming down her face. Her shrill screams were heartbreaking to hear.

    "Ma Lang, don't abandon me! I will be with you life and death!"

    How can it not be heartbreaking when a beautiful woman calls.  But Ma Chao was determined to die, but still made no move.  Time suddenly became extremely slow, and Zhao Yun suddenly stopped his gun without caring about the heavy damage.  At the critical moment, Gentian's bright silver spear stopped in Ma Chao's throat for a fraction of a second.  Ma Chao's eyes dimmed and he let out a long sigh, as if he was sighing at the changes in the world.  If Ma Chao launches an attack at this moment, Zhao Yun will undoubtedly die.  But Ma Chao didn't do that. He stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the handle of the gentian silver gun, and stabbed it in.  That tiny distance passed by in an instant, and blood burst out.  The sharp tip of the gentian silver gun went straight through Ma Chao's neck.  Zhao Yun stared fiercely, his face full of disbelief, and there was a hint of unspeakable pain in his eyes.  The moment of shock made Zhao Yun lose his mind and loosen his grip.  Gendan's bright silver gun flew away from his hand, and Ma Chao's body fell with it.

    ¡°Ma Lang!!!¡±

    Soon after, Mrs. Zhu Rong rushed over on horseback and stretched out her jade hands. Miraculously, she was able to catch Ma Chao's fallen body at this moment.  It was freezing cold, but Ma Chao's body was extremely hot, and the blood that was constantly overflowing was dripping from the seams of Mrs. Zhu Rong's hands.  The horses were still galloping, the thunder from the sky and the earth gradually became weaker, and the rain also weakened.  SuddenlyZhao Yun screamed and vomited blood.  In the confrontation just now, although he defeated Ma Chao, he also suffered serious internal injuries, and then he forced his gun back, which immediately made the injury more severe.  When Zhao Yun came to his senses, Mrs. Zhu Rong had taken Ma Chao's body and disappeared without a trace.  Several members of the Tang army saw this and quickly chased after him.  Zhao Yun heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and suddenly shouted angrily.

    "Whoever dares to pursue and attack without my general orders will be dealt with by military orders!!"

    As soon as Zhao Yun said this, the Tang generals immediately tightened their reins and stopped the horses.  A gust of wind and dust suddenly rose, and then there was another loud noise.

    "Long live the Barbarian King!! His spirit is immortal!! I will follow you!!"

    After the explosion, the barbarian soldiers raised their sharp weapons and killed themselves.  When Zhao Yun was about to stop him, he saw corpses piled up and down, with countless blood staining the white snow red.  The showers gradually stopped, coming and going suddenly.  Zhao Yun suppressed his injuries and moved in the direction where Mrs. Zhu Rong was leaving. He sighed deeply and then instructed the sergeants to bury the barbarian martyrs and then retreated.

    Ten days later, Zhao Yun rushed to Shicheng to report the past.  When Wen Han heard that Ma Chao was so heroic, he closed his eyes tightly, not knowing whether he was sighing or helpless.  Suddenly, Zhao Yun's pale face changed and he vomited blood.  It turned out that Zhao Yun had little rest along the way, which worsened his injuries.  When Wen Han saw this, he became panicked and quickly ordered doctors to come and treat him.  After a while, the doctor arrived. After diagnosing Zhao Yun, he applied gold wound medicine and warned: Zhao Yun's internal organs were damaged and he had to rest for a hundred days before he would be safe.  For a hundred days, be sure not to act rashly, otherwise the injury will recur and the consequences will be endless.  Zhao Yun is Wenhan's favorite general. He is like his right and left arm, and there is no room for failure.  Wenhan quickly ordered Zhao Yun to rest in Shicheng until his injuries recovered before he could fight again.  Zhao Yun knew that the war was tense and wanted to go out with the army with his injuries, but was severely scolded by Wen Han.  Deep love, deep responsibility.  Zhao Yun felt grateful and obeyed his order.

    That night, in the government office.  Wen Han was discussing with Pang Tong, Li You and others.  Li You sighed deeply and talked to Wen Han.

    "Ma Mengqi's life was capricious, and he was betrayed by others in the end. He brought this fate on his own, and he cannot blame others. According to Tong's expectation, Zhuge Kongming must have secretly persuaded Wu Tugu, the leader of Wugo Kingdom, and found him agreeable.  . Now that Xichuan has gained the support of the Southern Barbarians, if we work together, it will undoubtedly be difficult to defeat them. The Lord must not delay and lead troops to Dongchuan immediately to prepare for the opportunity for Shu troops to invade!"

    Hearing this, Wenhan frowned, pondered for a while, and said with deep concern.

    "Our army has been traveling long distances, and the soldiers are all working hard. How can such a tired army resist the enemy's attack?"

    When Li You heard this, his brows furrowed deeply and he pondered.  Wenhan turned his attention to Pang Tong.  Pang Tong was also seen with a calm expression.  Not long ago, the shooting star Mala came to report.  Wen Han, Pang Tong and others knew about the fall of Brazil.  After everyone discussed it, they expected that Zhuge Liang would lead his army back quickly. Taking advantage of the chaos in Xiliang and the difficulty of rescuing his own army, he launched a vigorous counterattack.  Not long ago, Pan Feng was beheaded by Guan Yu, and the soldiers of Shu became in a state of mourning. As the saying goes, the mourning soldiers will win.  Now there is really no need to delay.  However, our army fought fiercely one after another and traveled back and forth from Xiliang and Xichuan. The soldiers were exhausted.  Even though Pang Tong had the wisdom of heaven and earth, it was difficult for him to come up with a plan for a while.  Wenhan saw that Pang Tong and Li You were both deep in thought, so he didn't bother them, and he himself was also deep in thought.

    I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but Pang Tong¡¯s face hardened and he suddenly held up his hands.

    "The only plan now is to first send General Zhang to guard Shankou Pass to counteract the power of the Shu army. At the same time, we will transfer a general to guard Dongchuan to delay the time. Let our army recharge its batteries and gain momentum.  The best strategy is to march forward.¡±

    When Wenhan heard this, he pondered for a while, then he realized it was reasonable and asked quickly.

    "Who can go?"

    "We have three generals, Shenlong, in the Western Tang Dynasty. Guan, Zhao, and Huang all have reached the pinnacle of martial arts. Now, Generals Guan Gong and Zhao have been severely injured and it is difficult to march. Now only General Huang can take on this important task!!"

    Pang Tong said sharply and harshly.  When Li You heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly advised.

    "It is absolutely forbidden that Huang Zhong was originally a general in Jingzhou and was once a minister under Liu Bei's tent. He had no choice but to surrender to the Tang Dynasty in the past. Now Tang and Shu are at war, so having him sit in Dongchuan as a general is really pouring oil to put out the fire. I hope your lord will think twice.  , don¡¯t go with someone else?¡±

    Hearing this, Pang Tong's expression darkened. He had just joined Wenhan's staff and had never met Huang Zhong. Although he knew that he was a loyal and righteous man, he was not sure what kind of person Huang Zhong was.  At this time, Wenhan's eyes sank, he shook his head and said.

    "Zhongwen's words are wrong. General Huang has surrendered himself to Gu, strictly abides by the law, and must do all his duties personally. What's more, General Huang knows about Liu Qi's tragic death and hates Liu Bei extremely. Furthermore, Gu is a national scholar.  If you treat each other with courtesy, General Huang will definitely reciprocate with loyalty, how can he have different aspirations?"

    As soon as Wenhan said these words, Pang Tong's eyes suddenly shone with light, and he sighed in his heart.  Don¡¯t doubt the people you employ, don¡¯t doubt the people you use.use.  How can such a wise king teach others to follow his example without risking death?  Li You also had a strange look. He recalled that back then, he was despised by everyone in the world, but Wen Han ignored his past grudges and recruited him as an important minister under his command, and he even obeyed his words.  Li You changed his name to Zhongwen, which means he will be loyal to the Wen family throughout his life.

    Unconsciously, Li You burst into tears and bowed his hands.

    "Your Majesty is so benevolent and virtuous, how can someone be inferior to you!"

    The decision has been made.  Therefore, Wenhan followed Pang Tong's advice and sent people to Shankou Pass to report to Zhang Liao, while he also sent people to transfer Huang Zhong to Dongchuan to guard.  At the same time, the troops were organized to rest in preparation for war.

    But it was said that Zhang Liao led his troops to defeat Wutugu's 10,000 troops and occupied Shankou Pass.  Zhang Liao followed Xu Shu's plan and did not take advantage of the situation to pursue him. Instead, he guarded the pass and waited for Wenhan's reinforcements to arrive.  Ten days later, the scouts came to report that Zhuge Liang had led an army of 30,000 men to rush in from dozens of miles away from the northwest.

    When Zhang Liao heard this, he urgently summoned Xu Shu to discuss the matter.  Xu Shu's expression darkened and he spoke attentively.

    "The Shu army was in mourning because of Pan Wushuang's death. If our army fought head-on with him, we would definitely lose more and win less. Fortunately, the enemy's army came from a long distance to attack, and they would be exhausted and would not dare to attack rashly.  . In my opinion, the pass can be tightly guarded to resist the enemy's army."
