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's hand also slowly raised. Although he prefers peace talks, if Ma Chao really intends to make a last-ditch effort, he cannot just watch.
Liang Xing¡¯s troops were further 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. Feeling aggrieved. To be precise, this way of death is the most suitable for Ma Chao.
Facing the Ma Chao brother and sister 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!
"Sister Lu, it's me, I'm Xiaowu!" No matter how heartless Ma Yunluo was, when he saw the tense battle, he realized that he was in trouble, and hurriedly shouted loudly to indicate his identity and purpose, hoping to stop it. This fight.
But it seemed that her efforts were in vain. The moment she saw Wang Yu make the gesture, Ma Chao's muscles tensed up, and his horse's speed suddenly increased, like a red lightning bolt that could cover his ears at lightning speed. With the 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 an instinctive decision. What to do specifically, he could only act according to circumstances.
Of course it is very dangerous to do so, but the war is fierce and dangerous, and the moment you pick up a gun and go into battle, life and death should be ignored. When Wang Yu fought against Hu Zhen and Niu Fu at Hulao Pass, if he had been worried about the danger and had been thinking about retreats, could he still have created the miracle of seducing the enemy by riding alone and defeating the many with less?
In last night¡¯s chaos, Ma Chao¡¯s greatest 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 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 the barrier created by thousands of crossbows, and then have to fight to the death with one against three, but he still did it.
He hoped that he could use his sister's cry to cause Wang Yu to hesitate for a moment, and then take the opportunity to rush forward and let the Qingzhou army throw rat weapons, so that the bows and crossbows would not have room to use.
It seems that Wang Yu was indeed affected. His raised hand was open with no intention of making a fist or lowering 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 has never met these three people, but his identities can be analyzed from the intelligence.
The general on the right who is holding a long-handled ax 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 was wrapped in red armor, and even his face was wearing a mask. But this is not a problem for Ma Chao. The cavalry of the Qingzhou Army are dressed like this, not to mention that the opponent is holding a Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand. Who else can he be besides the leader of the Fire Army, Lu Qiling?
Both of them are good at martial arts, but they are still slightly inferior to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici who have fought several battles with him. If he is willing to risk his life, he may have a chance of success.
Analyzing in his mind, Ma Chao's body has started to move.
On the surface, it seems that he is 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. With the cover of the war horse, his hand had already held a halberd! He purely controls the horse with his two 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 is very abrupt and strange, and it¡¯s hard to describe the wonderfulness in words. In short, Ma Chao feels 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 laugh away. The one opposite looks like me?The young man of about the same age showed exactly this kind of smile!
Ma Chao then noticed that when Wang Yu smiled, the tense Qingzhou army all lowered their crossbows, and the tense face and murderous aura on their bodies disappeared. It was as if he suddenly discovered that the person who was riding towards him 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 a volley of thousands of arrows and a flanking attack by Generals Lu and Xu than face such a scene. The former situation would make him excited and fight with all his strength. The current situation just 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 inaction brought back painful memories. In the battle a few days ago, didn't he summon up his strength many times to charge and fight fiercely, but each time he fell into the trap set by the enemy, and was eventually left disgraced and embarrassed?
Should we continue to rush forward and fight with all our strength, or should we wait and see what the situation is like 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 worthy brother Meng Qi is indeed brave and brave. I admire you, I admire you!"
"Hello"
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: "I don't dare to take this seriously! The Hussar General is so clever and full of tricks. Even the Huo Husband back then could only lag behind and couldn't catch up."
Ma Chao was also scared 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. When the thoughts in his mind were mixed, his momentum suddenly weakened. Even if he forced himself to charge forward, he would not be able to exert his strongest power. The combat power is coming, so I can only stop and wait and see.
"Brother Xian is so honored. Huo Piao and Yao are such heroes, but Brother Yu can't 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 How could someone who could defeat Yuan Shao in person face to face be his opponent?
"Well" Wang Yu paused slightly and raised his eyes to look at Ma Chao. His eyes were a little playful, but his tone was very innocent: "Brother Meng Qi, these words are bad. Brother Yu is obviously here on 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. It was indeed him 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 encirclement, it would not be difficult to make a comeback. If Wang Yu came out, he would definitely take action. As for negotiations, that is just the second brother's opinion. Even if there is a negotiation, he should not be the one to do it.
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 entered the battle, the initiative changed hands. Even accidents were taken advantage of by the opponent. What else can be said?
After thinking for a while, Ma Chao organized his 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's nothing he can do if he doesn't say that. 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 refused to give in. Now his momentum was blocked and he couldn't fight with all his strength. If he couldn't answer this question well, it would probably arouse Ma Chao's desire 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 Beice, right? Are you serious?"
?He didn¡¯t take Pingbei Ce seriously. After being in Xiliang for so long, what he was looking forward to was to occupy a place in the Huahua River and Mountains of the Central Plains. How could he be willing to go to places further outside the territory? With this thought in mind, there was naturally a bit of disdain in his tone, which sounded quite harsh.
"How can important national affairs be treated like child's play?" Wang Yu replied seriously, with a look of dismay on his face: "I think your dear brother is a hero, so I invite you sincerely. 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!" Ma Chao was shocked and shouted quickly. I thought that if Wang Yu took the risk to come to see him, he would be patient and give a long speech to persuade him. Who would have thought that the other party's temper would be even more irritable than his own, and he would turn around and leave after a disagreement.
It¡¯s not that Ma Chao doesn¡¯t understand the current situation. He knows that the initiative is originally in the hands of the opponent. It is benevolent and righteous to persuade him to surrender. If he fails to persuade him, his benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted. In the future, people in the world will only say that they do not know what is good and what is good, and they will praise Wang Yu's courtesy and virtue as a corporal.
"What did General Ma have to 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.
Ma Chao was about to speak, but 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. I can trust him. It's just that Chaoruo led his army to surrender, but There are a few obstacles, can you ask the general to clear up my doubts?"
"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 troops 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 quite prosperous. There are probably no more than a hundred countries, big and small, 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 spend time 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 unusual. Wang Yu's words were powerful and powerful. If they were coming from the bottom of his heart, then Ma Chao could only admit that he was infected and was about to be convinced.
But could this be true? It is no problem to integrate hundreds of thousands of troops from hundreds of countries in the Western Region. If you let someone like yourself, whose loyalty is questionable, go, isn't that like letting a tiger enter the mountain? Are there really such selfless people in this world?
He really didn¡¯t believe it.
However, no matter how he looked, there was no trace of hypocrisy on that resolute face.
"Actually, you don't need to be suspicious, Brother Yu. 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 me, my dear brother." Wang Yu looked at Ma Chao with a meaningful look, "My dear brother, 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. She was afraid 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 happily: "Wang Pengju is indeed Wang Pengju."To put it simply, this ability to see into people's hearts 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 often 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 Yunluan 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 Qiuci blood, is more considerate than his eldest son Ma Chao, not to mention Ma Tie and Ma Teng, who have strong Qiang blood. Retired.
If nothing else happens, 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 Yunluan is young, he is very smart, and he usually sees these things. It's just that she always thought that the bold eldest brother wouldn't care about these things, but she didn't expect that Wang Yu exposed it here.
"General Wang, I don't know how you can see through this, but I am an upright man. Since you are right, how about letting this matter go?"
"Very good." Wang Yu nodded.
This matter is actually not difficult to guess at all. Ma Teng was a man without great ambitions. In history, he had 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, leaving Ma Chao alone in Xiliang.
And Ma Chao was not polite later. Knowing that his whole family was just like 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.
Looking at it 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 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 here to help Cao Cao control the situation in Xiliang, which was a very dangerous job.
With foresight and actual contact, Wang Yu effortlessly guessed the reason and successfully aroused Ma Chao's thoughts.
"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 the 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. Depending on the time, it may be 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 suddenly burst out laughing. He stopped laughing after a while, 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 unfortunately loses or is in a stalemate, my dear brother, just pretend that you have never heard these words today and 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 it 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. Chao today swears an oath." At this point, if the general really wins, Chao will be at the mercy of the enemy from now on., consider the general as your brother, and never regret it, otherwise you will die under random 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. He 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 more updated. quick!)
