Chapter 879 [Danger]
"Shut up! It's rare for this king to encounter such a strong opponent, how can he let it go? The former met Zhao Yun of Yan State, but was run away by Zhao Yun, failed to fight a hearty fight, and today met the Tiger Idiot of Wei State, this king will definitely take off his head, as the first merit of entering the Central Plains! This king has already decided, you have to wait for Hugh to say again, and those who violate the order will be beheaded! Ma Chao clutched his chest, only to feel that there was still a little blood surging in his body, he also felt that Xu Chu was indeed a very strong opponent, but it was difficult to ride a tiger at present, if he couldn't kill Xu Chu in front of his subordinates, it would be the biggest shame, then his name as a mighty general would be ruined.
Zhang Xiu frowned, he had fought with Xu Chu and knew Xu Chu's strength very well. But when he saw Ma Chao giving the death order, he said slowly: "King, if you want to kill Xu Chu, your subordinates have a plan, which can not only satisfy the king's desire to fight, but also get rid of Xu Chu!" ”
Qian Hu hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, say it quickly......"
Ma Chao's face did not change, but he did not object, just sat there quietly, without saying a word.
Seeing Ma Chao like this, Zhang Xiu already knew that Ma Chao acquiesced, so he said slowly: "Xu Chu Xiaoyong is one of the two peers of the Wei State, if he is surrounded, how can the Wei army not save him?" As long as the Wei army is out of the pass, the last general will lead the iron cavalry to kill, when the king fights Xu Chu and drags Xu Chu, I and General Qian together lead the troops to knock on the pass, as long as you can seize the gate, conquer the tiger prison pass. ”
"Okay, although Han Hao and Shi Lian, the guards of the Tiger Prison Pass, are also brave people, but in terms of force, they are definitely inferior to the two of you. As soon as his father led the army to arrive, he could directly kill the Wei State, sweep the Central Plains, and recover the territory of the Han Dynasty occupied by those traitors and thieves! Ma Chao said.
Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu clasped their fists in unison and said, "No! ”
At this time, the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass was reopened, and Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Shi Jian led five hundred cavalry out of the pass. Xu Chu was shirtless, holding the Guyue knife in front of him, while Han Hao and Shi Jian were guarding behind Xu Chu with five hundred cavalry, pressing the formation for Xu Chu.
"King, Xu Chu is out!" Zhang Xiu reminded.
Ma Chao turned over and said to Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu: "I'll see the opportunity to act in a while!" ”
"No!" Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu replied at the same time.
Xu Chu rode his horse from the Tiger Prison Pass again, his face was a little more gloomy, and his upper body was bare, revealing the strong muscles of his upper body. The tiger's eyes were angry, his beard was upside down, and his eyes shot out of the Dao essence.
"General Xu, be careful in everything, if anything is wrong, please come back immediately, Shi Jian and I are here to suppress the battle for you. Of course, if you can beat Ma Chao. It's the best, then his subordinates will have scruples......" Han Hao reminded behind Xu Chu.
Xu Chu nodded. Without saying a word, he rode forward on his horse, holding the Guyue knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and immediately shouted: "Ma Chao Xiaoer!" Come and die quickly, you Grandpa Zhongkang ......"
"Dead fatty! You're going crazy! Watch me take your dog's head! Ma Chao rode out with a gun. directly interrupted Xu Chu's words.
The battle is on the verge of breaking out!
Ma Chao and Xu Chu raised swords and guns at the same time, and once they fought, they immediately became like fire and water, entangled with each other, and you came and went with each other.
Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu, Han Hao, Shi Jian and others saw it really. Seeing Ma Chao and Xu Chu's trembling, they were all stunned.
It's a big battle, I haven't seen it in a long time, and every round is thrilling, and every shot is a killing move.
Ma Chao and Xu Chu fought to twenty rounds without winning or losing, but the horse war consumed not only the human body, but also the body of the war horse, in contrast, the body of the war horse was more consumed, only twenty rounds, the war horse was already unbearable, tired and out of breath.
"Change horses and fight again!" Ma Chao raised his spear, pointed at Xu Chu from afar, and shouted loudly.
"Good!" Xu Chu roared, and changed horses with Ma Chao, and after the change, the two of them trembled together again.
Heavy rain washed over the land, and the water on the ground did not flow in time, and soon a swamp was formed.
From morning to noon, Ma Chao and Xu Chu fought a total of 100 rounds, and the winner was still not decided.
"Zheng!"
A loud bang sounded in the wilderness, Ma Chao and Xu Chu separated again, the two of them were already out of breath on horseback, the clothes on their bodies had already been wet by the rain, and all the people standing in the rain were also wet.
"The tiger idiot really lives up to its reputation, I didn't expect it to be so powerful......" Ma Chao looked at Xu Chu opposite, and thought secretly in his heart.
Xu Chu gasped for breath, and the hand holding the Guyue knife began to tremble, trembling slightly, glaring at Ma Chao opposite, and secretly thought in his heart: "Ma Chao is brave, no less than Lu Bu back then, at a young age, it is really unbelievable that he has such ability......"
After resting for a while, Ma Chao and Xu Chu raised their swords and guns again, hedged against each other, and then fought together.
After less than ten rounds of fighting, Xu Chu, who had recovered his vitality, suddenly jumped up, the ancient moon knife in his hand danced wildly in the air, and slashed at Ma Chao eighteen times in a row, and one after another fierce breath forced towards Ma Chao, and the eighteen slashes of heaven and earth were unleashed again.
Ma Chao saw this scene, his heart was full, seeing that Xu Chu's knife technique was fast and powerful, a faint smile rose on the corner of his mouth, the bright silver spear was held in his hand, and his left hand slapped the saddle violently, the whole person rose into the air, and his feet tapped the head of the war horse, and his body rotated rapidly as if it were spiraling, forming a whole with the bright silver spear, like a spinning top, and stabbed towards Xu Chu quickly.
Xu Chu's eighteen slashes in heaven and earth opened and closed, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the eighteen swords on his face were like layers of huge waves, unstoppable. But when he suddenly saw Ma Chao's actions, he was taken aback, only to see Ma Chao stabbing towards his chest like a very small silver needle.
His Heaven and Earth Eighteen Slashes were intended to be overwhelmingly slammed, making the other party unable to resist, but this time was the weakest time for defense, he saw that Ma Chao was attacking at one point regardless of a single point, and without saying a word, he immediately withdrew the Guyue Knife, and the Heaven and Earth Eighteen Slashes had just slashed out the tenth slash, and it immediately stopped abruptly. Blocked in front of the chest.
"Zheng!"
With a loud bang, Ma Chao and Xu Chu rushed together, and the tip of the bright silver spear collided with the wide blade of the Guyue knife.
Xu Chu only felt a huge force pressing on him, and the knife face immediately pressed to his chest, and he saw that Ma Chao withdrew the bright silver spear and wanted to assassinate him, and a burst of horror appeared on his face. He hurriedly sank with his sword. A slash was slashed.
Seeing this, Ma Chao gave up the assassination and hurriedly went to resist Xu Chu's knife.
The two men separated again without danger, and at the same time landed on the rain-soaked ground, and at the same time turned to look at each other.
"Good marksmanship! In addition to Lu Bu, there are still people in the world who can use the Spiral Spike to such a realm, which is really admirable! Xu Chu had some admiration in his heart.
Ma Chao said: "What spiral spike?" This is my own Storm Soul Slayer! ”
"Whatever it is, I admire you very much. Your strength is amazing, but your strength is not good, and you lack a bit of strength to attack! Horses, next, I won't let you anymore! Xu Chu sneered.
Ma Chao already had a plan, and if he continued to entangle with Xu Chu like this, he would definitely lose his play, and his strength was indeed not as good as Xu Chu. It's so close to exhaustion, keep fighting. I'm afraid that I will suffer a big loss. He thought of Zhang Xiu's strategy and prepared to deceive and lure the enemy.
"Come on!" Ma Chao raised the silver gun horizontally and shouted loudly.
"The horses are rampant, today is your death!" Xu Chu regained his spirit a few times, grasped the Guyue Knife, and rushed towards Ma Chao quickly.
Jingle ......
Ma Chao and Xu Chu engaged in foot combat. After ten moves, Xu Chu only felt that Ma Chao's disadvantages were becoming more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After another ten moves, Xu Chu saw that Ma Chao's strength was secretly much weaker, and his heart was even more excited. secretly thought that if he could kill Ma Chao in front of the battle, he would definitely be able to force the Qin army to retreat.
"Tiger Idiot...... Hero...... Let's fight again another day! Ma Chao suddenly flashed out of the battle circle, ran backwards with a bright silver gun, and turned over directly on the horse.
Seeing this, Xu Chu immediately shouted: "The horse is running away!" ”
Ma Chao saw that Xu Chu also rode a horse and chased after him, deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, and at the same time glanced at Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu immediately understood, and at the same time turned their horses' heads and shouted to the cavalry behind them: "Withdraw!" Evacuate! ”
With an order, the 30,000 Qin army iron horsemen turned their horses' heads and slowly retreated.
After Xu Chu saw it, his face was filled with great joy, and he laughed and said, "Don't go, don't go, watch me take your horse's head!" ”
Ma Chao picked up the bow and arrow hanging from the horse's neck and shot an arrow at Xu Chuxu.
Xu Chu waved his knife away from the flying arrow, and secretly shouted in his heart: "It seems that the horse is really tired, and even the arrows shot have no strength, God help me!" ”
With a loud shout of "driving", Xu Chu chased faster and faster, and soon followed Ma Chao.
Under the Tiger Prison, Han Hao and Shi Jian looked at each other when they saw such a scene.
Suddenly, Han Hao said, "Not good! General Xu has been tricked! ”
Shi Jian asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"Your posture when the Qin army retreated, the pace was the same, and it was unusually neat, if it was really defeated and retreated, how could it look like this? Don't you hear that the defeat is like a mountain, and the Qin army is very consistent even in retreating, it can be seen that it has already been arranged, this is luring the enemy to go deeper, hurry up with me and stop General Xu! Han Hao is also quite talented, and when he saw such a scene, he immediately discovered the clue.
When Shi Jian heard this, he didn't say a word, and immediately rode his horse to chase after him, and at the same time shouted loudly: "General Xu, beware of the enemy's tricks......"
Han Hao rode out and chased after Shi Jian with his five hundred cavalry, shouting loudly while chasing wildly.
The wind is roaring, and the rain is pouring down.
Xu Chu's eyes were only staring at Ma Chao alone, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, where could he take care of other things, and chased after Ma Chao like a fly.
After chasing less than five miles, Ma Chao suddenly stopped, turned the horse's head, and waited there, seeing Xu Chufei coming over, a smile also appeared on his face, and the bright silver gun was raised, and more than 100 fine horsemen immediately appeared on both sides of the road, Qian Hu on the left, Zhang Xiu on the right, the two of them became one, blocking Xu Chu's way, and the cavalry behind Ma Chao also stopped, turned the horse's head one after another, and rushed forward with Ma Chao.
When Xu Chu saw this, he was taken aback, only to know that he had been fooled and was about to turn around. But seeing that Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu were blocking the way, and Ma Chao was unstoppable and killed, he was not panicked, calm and calm, and his first thought was to kill back.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Xu Chu turned the horse's head and brandished the Guyue Knife. Killed Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and the others, and yelled loudly.
Zhang Xiu had been defeated for a while, and then he met Xu Chu in a narrow way, and he cheered up and rushed towards Xu Chu.
"How can you be greedy if you have merit?" Qian Hu suddenly jumped out from Zhang Xiu's side, and rushed towards Xu Chu with a scimitar, about to kill Xu Chu in front of Zhang Xiu.
Xu Chu saw that Qian Hu was in front, Zhang Xiu was behind, and there were more than 100 fine riders behind the two people. Without the slightest fear, at the moment of exchanging horses with Qian Hu, the Gu Yue Knife suddenly shot towards the door of Qian Hu's face.
Qian Hu was startled, and hurriedly raised his scimitar to defend, but Xu Chu jumped up from the horse and took off the air, kicking him off the horse with one kick.
Xu Chu snatched the Qian Tiger Seat and dismounted, stretched out his long arms to the ground to pick up the Guyue Knife, and leaned over the horse. turned the horse's head and rushed over to meet Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu showed no weakness. The silver snake spear in his hand stabbed out continuously, threatening to force Xu Chu to stop, but Xu Chu suddenly dismounted, walked synchronously with the horses, and under the cover of the horses, he actually swept past Zhang Xiu. When he left, he turned over his horse again, Gu Yue's knife rose, several human heads fell to the ground, and after killing several elite horsemen. Quickly rushed out of the encirclement.
When Ma Chao saw Xu Chu rushing out, he immediately said angrily: "Catch up, don't let Xu Chu run away!" ”
Zhang Xiu led a hundred elite cavalry to chase after Xu Chu, chasing less than two miles, but saw Han Hao and Shi Jian leading five hundred cavalry to arrive.
"Han Hao, Shi Lian, save me!" Xu Chu saw Han Hao and Shi Jian coming with troops, and immediately shouted.
Han Hao and Shi Jian hurriedly reined in their horses, prepared for battle, and shouted at Xu Chu: "General Xu, hurry up, we will resist the pursuing soldiers." ”
Xu Chu galloped wildly, and drove through the road let by Han Hao, Shi Jian and others as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
Zhang Xiu saw that Xu Chu had run away, Han Hao and Shi Jian blocked the way, shouted, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”
Where were Han Hao and Shi Jian willing to give in, the second general led his troops to meet the hundred cavalry led by Zhang Xiu, and the scuffle broke out.
Zhang Xiu made meritorious contributions, and didn't let Han Hao and Shi Jian pay attention, and at that moment the hundred birds used the phoenix spear, a gun, a horse, and a person, directly picked off the two weapons of Han Hao and Shi Lian, and killed them from the place where the two of them were blocked, and then raised the gun in hand, stabbed to death more than a dozen Wei cavalry one after another, and chased Xu Chu alone.
Zhang Xiu just rushed over here, and Ma Chao led the army to kill, Han Hao and Shi Jian couldn't resist it, so they immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Ma Chao and Qian Hu covered up and killed on the road, and 30,000 iron horsemen rolled away, unstoppable, chasing Han Hao and Shi Jian straight to the Tiger Prison.
Xu Chu snatched Qian Hu's horse, and the horse was carrying the heavyweight Xu Chu, and he ran fast under his feet, and soon arrived at the Tiger Prison.
The soldiers on the Tiger Prison Gate saw that Xu Chu was chased back by Zhang Xiu, and immediately opened the city gate, and after Xu Chu entered the Tiger Prison Pass, he closed the city gate again.
Zhang Xiu chased to the Tiger Prison Pass, and when he saw the arrows put down on the gate, he used the silver snake gun to cover it, and then retreated out of the range of the arrows. When he turned around, he saw Han Hao and Shi Jian running over with more than 400 horsemen, and Ma Chao was chasing after him, and immediately turned the horse's head and pointed the finger at Han Hao and Shi Lian.
After Xu Chu entered the city, he saw Han Hao and Shi Jian being chased by Ma Chao through the gap in the city gate, and immediately shouted to the captain guarding the gate: "Assemble the whole army, kill me together, and rescue Han Hao and Shi Lian!" ”
With an order, the gate of the Tiger Prison opened again, and Xu Chu took the lead, rushing out with more than 1,000 horse infantry behind him, and killed Ma Chao's army.
Zhang Xiuzheng was killing, and killed several Wei soldiers in a row, suddenly heard the movement behind him, and looked back to see Xu Chu galloping with his troops, he hurriedly killed the edge, and tried to be with Ma Chao and Qian Hu.
"Kill them all, not a single one will be left!" Ma Chao saw that the Wei army was out of the customs to face the battle, with a trace of joy on his face, this was exactly the effect he wanted, and he shouted out loudly when he was happy.
When the soldiers of the Qin army heard Ma Chao's shout, everyone seemed to be in good spirits, and every cavalryman pounced directly on the Wei army's camp like a fierce wolf.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the cavalry of the Qin army and the cavalry of the Wei army collided together, and the cavalry of the two sides who rushed to the front immediately turned on their backs.
The melee was about to break out, and at this time there was no personal bravery, and in the pouring rain, only the cavalry was seen one after another. The stagnant water on the ground soon turned red, the horses fell to the ground, the men fell from their horses, and soon a swamp of blood was formed under the tiger prison.
Ma Chao was fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and he approached Xu Chu not far away step by step, where the spear went. Everyone is down, and blood is like an infusion.
Lightning in the sky pierced the sky from time to time, thunder rumbled, rolling into the ears, shouts of killing mixed in this thunder, deafening.
"Xu Chu!" Ma Chao saw Xu Chu hacking several of his subordinates to death in a row, and immediately roared angrily.
"Humph!" Xu Chu saw that Ma Chao was not far from him, with more than a dozen people in between, so he sneered. Looking around, he saw that the Wei army was getting fewer and fewer, and the cavalry of the Qin army was becoming more and more courageous, he knew the strength of the Qin army, so he immediately shouted: "The whole army retreats and retreats to the pass." ”
Han Hao and Shi Jian were trembling with Zhang Xiu, and for more than a dozen rounds, they couldn't resist Zhang Xiu. Seeing that Zhang Xiu was fighting more and more fiercely, after hearing Xu Chu's shout. He also retreated, leaving Zhang Xiu behind and going straight to the Tiger Prison.
The retreat of the Wei army did not matter, it was in the arms of the Qin army, and the Qin army, under the leadership of Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, and Qian Hu, was unstoppably rushing to kill. As soon as the Wei army retreated, the Qin army immediately pounced, not giving the Wei army a chance to breathe, and followed closely behind the retreating Wei army, so that the Wei army had no time to close the city gate for a while.
Ma Chao took the lead. The first one galloped into the city gate of the Tiger Prison, and behind him, Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and other cavalry all killed him in an endless stream.
"Shoot the arrows!" After Xu Chu entered the Tiger Prison Pass, he saw that Ma Chao was also following, and immediately shouted at the archers standing on the city tower.
"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”
Arrows flew down in the air, but in this heavy rainy weather, the strength of the arrows was greatly affected, and as soon as they shot out, they were sunk by the raindrops.
"Rush! Rush in, kill them all, and leave not a single one behind! Ma Chao brandished a bright silver spear and shouted at his subordinates behind him.
Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu immediately led a group of people, jumped on the city wall, and killed all the archers guarding the city wall.
There was chaos in the Tiger Prison Pass, Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Shi Jian fought and retreated, seeing that they could not resist the offensive of the Qin army, they had no choice but to withdraw from the Tiger Prison Pass, and ran in the direction of Chen Liu.
Ma Chao led the troops to chase for a while, but did not catch up with Xu Chu and others, and finally retreated, cleaned up the mess in the Tiger Prison Pass, cut down all the banners with the word "Wei", and replaced them with the banners of the Qin army.
Strange as it may seem, as soon as the battle was over here, the heavy rain gradually ceased there, and after a short time the sun squeezed out of the dark clouds again, and continued to shine its sun on the earth, and a rainbow appeared in the distant sky.
In the evening, the stagnant water on the ground was basically gone, but inside and outside the Tiger Prison Pass were corpses into pushes, and on a mountain outside the Tiger Prison Pass, hundreds of corpses were piled up, and the soldiers of the Qin army were holding torches and burning them all.
The raging fire began to spread, and after the battle, there was a cloud of smoke in the sky above the Tiger Prison Pass, because the battle was carried out in the rain, so there was no blood stain on the walls of the Tiger Prison Pass, and even the blood swamp on the ground disappeared without a trace, except for the faint smell of blood, it was fresh after the rain.
At this time, a group of soldiers rolled in from the western road, also carrying the banner of the Qin army, but compared with the previous cavalry, the equipment and the strength of the soldiers were slightly weaker.
A middle-aged man in a robe was riding on a war horse, his eyes were looking at Yi Qi Qi in front of him, and behind him was a group of soldiers dressed in gorgeous clothes and holding halberds, the soldiers were scattered on both sides of a large carriage covered with a canopy, sixteen maroon war horses were pulling the canopy carriage, slowly moving forward, and on the carriage sat a white young man wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown on his head.
"Wang Situ, is there a tiger prison in front of you?" The white young man in a dragon robe and a dragon crown on his head lifted the curtain and shouted to the middle-aged man on horseback walking at the front of the vehicle.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has conquered the Tiger Prison Pass and is currently preparing a dormitory for His Majesty." Situ Wang Yun, with a blue beard and a burly figure, stopped the advancing horses and replied respectfully.
The young man sitting in the canopy cart is the son of heaven of today's Han Dynasty - Liu Bian.
Since Liu Wei became the emperor, he was first at the mercy of He Jin, and then threatened by Dong Zhuo, and later fortunately Ma Chao killed Dong Zhuo at Hangu Pass, and with the help of Ma Teng's father and son, he settled in Chang'an. After being his emperor in Chang'an and pampering him for a while, he suddenly remembered the old capital, so he ordered Ma Chao to lead his troops eastward and occupy Sili.
Coincidentally, Ma Chao also wanted to enter the Central Plains, so he didn't say a word. At the moment, he agreed, personally led 30,000 iron cavalry in front, and let Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chen Qun and other ministers lead the infantry behind, escorting grain and grass on the one hand, and guarding Liu Wei on the other.
"King Qin is brave, I know that he will not live up to my high hopes for him. It's just that the old capital of Luoyang is dilapidated, and there is no way to get ......"
Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty." Sili has suffered from continuous wars, the people have been displaced, and they have already migrated to other states and counties, and now His Majesty Xià has come to Sili, if he wants to restore the old capital, I am afraid that it will take several years, and the King of Qin means to take His Majesty Xià to Changyi in Wei State. I heard that the city of Changyi is as big as the old capital ......"
"Hmm. I also want to go to Changyi to see, I have lived in Chang'an for too long, and this is the first time I have come out and walked. If Cao Cao, who has established himself as king, hears that I am gone, I don't know how to feel......"
Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the King of Qin means that the Son of Heaven patrols and crusades against Cao Cao at the same time. In this way, those who set themselves up as kings will have no truth, and if they dare to disobey, they will rebel, and His Majesty can issue an edict ordering all the kings of the world to crusade together. ”
"Wonderful. King Qin really thinks far-reaching, go quickly, I want to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to see King Qin. ”
"No!"
Wang Yun agreed, and ordered to continue walking, on the one hand, sending scouts to the Tiger Prison Pass to inform Ma Chao. He rode on the back of the horse leisurely, and thought to himself: "The Qin army is advancing eastward, and the king of Qin has the Son of Heaven in his hand, who dares to disobey the order?" The day of the down payment in the Central Plains is just around the corner. What's more, King Liang led 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry has been stationed in Guanzhong, and the day of arrival in the Central Plains is not far away, when those kings who have established themselves as kings, which dare not obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, is to rebel, with the order of the Son of Heaven, to be killed, it is really a good policy......"
Liu Wei sat in the canopy car, his heart was full of expectations for the Central Plains, he had been the emperor for several years, and every time he heard Ma Chao talk about which person in the Kanto region had established himself as the king again, his heart was very uncomfortable. At this time, he led a mighty army into the Central Plains, and he would inevitably be able to eradicate those who established themselves as kings, and then restore the unity of the Han Dynasty......
In their hearts, the Son of Heaven is unattainable, and it is very difficult to see the Son of Heaven at ordinary times. Therefore, when the Son of Heaven slowly drove into the Tiger Prison Pass in a carriage, the soldiers rushed to look around.
Liu Wei walked to the edge of the carriage and saw that all the soldiers were saluting him, which made him even more delicate.
"Chen Ma Chao, I've seen Your Majesty." In front of the city gate of Tiger Prison, Ma Chao led Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and other dozens of generals to line up there, and when he saw Liu Bian's frame coming, Ma Chao rode forward and stopped Liu Bian's advance.
The group stopped in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Wei stood on the carriage, pointed to the Tiger Prison Pass, and said loudly: "The King of Qin is brave, no one dares to resist wherever he passes, and I have the King of Qin as the pioneer, which is really a blessing for me." ”
"Your Majesty has won the prize......" Ma Chao was still wearing armor, holding a weapon in his hand, riding on a tall horse, without the slightest intention of getting off the horse to greet him, and the same was true of Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and others behind him.
Wang Yun was in front of Liu Wei's frame, and when he saw that Ma Chao and his subordinates were like this, he couldn't help frowning, and secretly shouted in his heart: "The horse has grown up, and his arrogance has become even more arrogant, but I am afraid that His Majesty's eastern tour is just a chess piece of the horse, and it is in the name of the Son of Heaven's eastern tour to pave the way for him to seek the Central Plains." As a Situ of the current dynasty, I am sandwiched between the King of Qin and His Majesty, where should I go? ”
Ma Chao squinted at Wang Yun, who was silent, ignored it, rode his horse to Liu Bian's side, and said to Liu Bian: "Your Majesty, the city gate of the Tiger Prison Pass is narrow, and the canopy cart of the Tiger Prison Pass is too large, please get off the car and ride a horse, and enter the customs with the ministers, this canopy cart can be left outside the pass, and then build a canopy cart outside the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, and pull His Majesty Xià all the way to the east. ”
"King Qin's words are reasonable, I will do what King Qin says." Liu Wei didn't think about it, so he jumped out of the car directly, and his spotless dragon boots were immediately stained with mud on the ground, and his feet sank into them, making his entire ankle covered in mud.
After Ma Chao saw it, he sneered in his heart, turned to his subordinates and said, "Prepare a horse for Your Majesty!" ”
Wang Yun saw that Liu Bi was getting back from the mud, so he hurriedly jumped off the horse, supported Liu Bi, and said to Ma Chao: "Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand gold. How can you suffer such a sin? His Royal Highness the King of Qin ......"
"What? His Majesty said that he was going to ride into the city, didn't Wang Situ hear it, and he couldn't resist the decree? Ma Chao directly interrupted Wang Yun's words.
Wang Yun stopped talking, but he was very unhappy in his heart, surrounded by Ma Chao's henchmen, and he was alone. I can only endure it.
"Wang Situ, what King Qin said is right, this is what I mean, although I am a body of ten thousand gold, do I even need someone to help me walk on the ground? Besides, King Qin is also exercising my physical fitness, riding horses and archery are all taught to me by King Qin, and in the past two years, I have rarely ridden horses. Now it is okay to ride into the city on horseback. Liu Wei has a lot of trust in Ma Chao, in the past few years, he has been "protected" by Ma Chao, no matter what he does, it is arranged by Ma Chao in advance, which makes him lose some of the joy of life.
"The minister is terrified......," Wang Yun leaned over and bowed.
Liu argued: "It's okay, Lord Situ is also for my sake......
Between words. Ma Chao's subordinates brought a war horse and came to Ma Chao's side. Bowed to Ma Chao and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin......"
"Well, give the war horse to His Majesty and stand back!" Ma Chaodao.
"No."
Liu Wei hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and when he was in the palace in Chang'an, he rode in and out on foot, and he basically didn't use his legs except for walking in his room. At this time, when I saw the war horse, my heart was full of joy.
He walked straight to the side of the war horse, and just stretched out his hand to touch the back of the war horse, but saw that the war horse was suddenly frightened and let out a long neigh. The two front hooves were raised high.
Liu Wei was taken aback, and fell backwards in fright, but fortunately, Wang Yun supported him in time, so that Liu Wei would not be allowed to sit in the mud and save the dignity of the Son of Heaven.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, how can you let His Majesty ride such a stubborn horse? If there are three long and two short things in your majesty, how do you explain them to the people of the world? Wang Yun hugged Liu Wei, glared at Ma Chao, and scolded loudly.
Ma Chao sneered, rode his horse to Wang Yun and Liu Wei's side, and stabbed the spear in his hand directly at Wang Yun.
Wang Yun was taken aback, but his face did not change, and his body did not dodge, just looked straight at Ma Chao, in his opinion, although Ma Chao covered the sky with one hand, he did not dare to kill the minister casually in front of Liu Wei.
Seeing that Wang Yun was not hiding, Ma Chao retracted his strength in time, and the tip of the bright silver spear was only a little distance from Wang Yun's throat. He glared at Wang Yun angrily and roared: "Wang Situ, please let go of Your Majesty, this king is for the good of Your Majesty." ”
Wang Yun retorted: "For the sake of His Majesty? You let His Majesty ride such a stubborn war horse, in case you break Your Majesty, what should you do? 陛xià is the body of ten thousand gold, in case ......"
"Wang Situ! This king clearly remembers that this king told you when he left Chang'an, His Majesty is the Majesty of the people of the world, not your Wang Yun's Majesty, you don't have to make up your mind for your Majesty in everything, right? Ma Chao interrupted Wang Yun's words.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin still has few ideas for His Majesty? The old man really can't figure it out, is the surname Liu or the surname Ma in this world? ”
Ma Chao put away the bright silver gun in his hand, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have the surname Liu or the surname Ma, in short, no matter how it turns, it will not be the turn of the surname Wang." ”
"You...... What do you mean by that? Do you have the intention of rebelling? ”
Ma Chao ignored Wang Yun, hugged his fist at Liu Wei on horseback and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also for the good of His Majesty, the minister is loyal to His Majesty, I want the minister to sword Dong Zhuo back then, and rescued His Majesty from the clutches of Dong Zhuo's old thief, and took His Majesty to Chang'an all the way, and worked with His Royal Highness King Liang to help His Majesty re-establish the prestige of the imperial court, and has been here for several years. ”
After hearing this, Liu Wei nodded and said: "I have never had any doubts about King Qin, King Qin is a bloody man, and he will naturally be very enthusiastic in doing things, today's matter, King Qin and Situ should not worry about it anymore, besides, I am not injured......"
"Your Majesty can understand the hard work of the minister, and the minister will have no regrets even if he dies. In fact, the minister did this for the good of His Majesty. If you can't even tame a fierce horse, how can you tame the people of the world and be loyal to your majesty? The minister's painstaking efforts, please forgive your majesty. ”
Liu argued: "King Qin, what do you do to me, I understand in my heart, and I will ask King Qin not to say anything similar in the future." I will use the method taught to me by the King of Qin to tame this fiery horse now, if I can't even tame this fiery horse, then how can I be the Son of Heaven? ”
A smile appeared on Ma Chao's face and said, "Your Majesty is reasonable, and I am very impressed. ”
Liu Wei didn't say a word, pushed Wang Yun away, and ordered: "Get out of the way for me, I want to ride on the back of this war horse myself, so that everyone in the world can see, I am the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, how can the Son of Heaven have horses that cannot be tamed?" ”
Wang Yun said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is very inappropriate, it is better to ......"
"Lord Situ has said a lot, and I have made up my mind." Liu Wei rolled up his wide sleeves, straightened the crown on his head, and began to tame the war horse.
Ma Chao didn't even look at it, turned the horse's head, and said to the person behind him: "Come on, pull down the person who doesn't have long eyes and cut it down for me, and dare to hurt His Majesty with such a stubborn war horse, this king sees that he is tired of life!" ”
At the sound of the order, the two samurai immediately arrested the soldier who was leading the horse just now.
"The king, the little one is wronged, I beg the king to spare my life, the small one is not intentional, I beg the king to spare the small one......" The soldier was frightened, he did what Ma Chao wanted, but in the end, he had to face the realm of the head falling to the ground, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart, so he shouted loudly.
"You can go with confidence, I will take care of your family tenfold." Ma Chao interrupted the soldier's words without a hitch.
After hearing this, the soldier immediately stopped shouting, he understood the meaning of Ma Chao's words, stopped calling, and bowed to Ma Chao: "King, the little one has gone." ”
Liu Wei saw that Ma Chao wanted to kill someone, so he hurriedly shouted: "King Qin, now is the time to employ people, this person is in good health, and he is the personal guard of King Qin, it is a pity to kill him, it is better to let him make meritorious service on the battlefield, kill a few more enemies on the battlefield, and make up for his merits." ”
Ma Chao immediately frowned when he heard Liu Bian's words, but he didn't say anything about Liu Bian's words, just shook his hand and signaled for release.
"I just left Chang'an for two months, and His Majesty seems to be a different person, is it really Wang Yun who is behind his back? Wang Yun has no power and no power in Chang'an, and the position of Situ has long been vacated by me, even Yang Biao is the same, and there are few ministers who are interested in the Liu family's royal family, if it weren't for their reputation, I would have eliminated them all. Chen Qun is right, this is an undercurrent, and I must regain control of my majesty. Ma Chao had a gloomy face and thought secretly.
The war horse is not stubborn, but it was just the soldier who pricked the horse's ass with a needle when he was leaving, which frightened the war horse, and there was the one in front.
Liu Wei used the riding skills taught to him by Ma Chao, and he rode on the back of the war horse without much effort, and he was so happy that he was upset.
After Ma Chao saw it, he also smiled and argued to Liu: "Your Majesty is invincible and admired. Now that His Majesty has tamed the war horse, he can tame the world, and it is not too early, and His Majesty has also saddled his horse for a day, please rest in the pass. ”
"Okay, King Qin will lead the way."
Ma Chao turned around and walked towards the Tiger Prison Pass, raised the bright silver spear high, and the soldiers lined up on both sides cheered together: "The ministers will knock on your majesty." ”
"Excuse me!" Ma Chao answered first.
The crowd replied, "Thank you." ”
Liu Wei didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, but said with a smile: "No thanks, no thanks......"
Wang Yun saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, and secretly thought: "Ma Chao...... Sure enough, it's the ambition of the wolf...... is far from his father Ma Teng, and his compliments to His Majesty are also on the surface...... Could it be that Ma Teng raised such a son and didn't find out the danger of Ma Chao at all? (To be continued......)
