After sending off Jun Sima, the shopkeeper sighed, walked up to Sun Ce, Lu Su, and Zhou Tai, shook his head, and said, "You guys, don't you know? When asked about military things in the territory of Yan State, Yan zhòng was going to be killed. Ordinary people, as long as they can live a prosperous life, who cares about how ordnance is made? When I look at you, you don't look like ordinary people, you are generous and dignified, but you are wearing ordinary people's clothes, which is the most likely to arouse people's suspicion. If you still want to go to Jicheng, I will build yì for you to change into the clothes you should wear, because Jicheng is a royal city, and if you still go like this, you will definitely be arrested. You guys use it slowly, I'm talking a little too much. ”

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Lu Su glanced at Sun Ce and Zhou Tai, and then looked at himself, and felt that there was indeed a problem with their dress, Zhou Tai was five big and three thick, with a tough and burly body, because he had been a horse thief in his early years, there would inevitably be a trace of recklessness between his eyebrows. And he and Sun Ce are both thin-skinned and tender-skinned, if they are ordinary people, how can they be so white, not to mention that Sun Ce is handsome and chic, and that dress can't hide the heroism on his body at all.

"Childe, as the shopkeeper said, let's find a clothing store to change our clothes in a while, and it will be more convenient when we go to Jicheng." Lu Su said.

Zhou Tai asked: "Childe, you really want to go to Jicheng, Jicheng is a royal city, and it must be heavily guarded, I think, let's go back......"

"Nope! If I don't find out some secrets of Yan Kingdom, I will never go back. Hurry up and eat, after eating. Let's change our clothes, buy a few more horses, and go straight to Jicheng, if we just walk, when will we have to go? Sun Ce said.

Lu Su nodded and said, "But." I remember that when Yuan Shao was defeated, Yecheng became an empty city, but I didn't expect that after two years, it would be so prosperous. It seems that Yan Guo does have many merits. ”

"Well, otherwise, we wouldn't have taken such a big risk to come here......"

"Childe, Yan Bing." Lu Su happened to sit in front of the door. Suddenly, he saw four or five heavily armed Yan soldiers walking in, and without waiting for Sun Ce to finish speaking, he hurriedly whispered a reminder.

Zhou Tai suddenly became nervous, clenched his fists tightly, and once something happened, he could protect Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was calm and composed, only caring about drinking and eating meat by himself, without any nervous appearance at all.

A few Yan soldiers walked straight to Sun Ce. surrounded Sun Ce, Lu Su, and Zhou Tai, and a leading Yan soldier glanced at Sun Ce. Then he said, "Please come with us, our family is invited." ”

Sun Ce glanced at the leading Yan soldier and asked, "Master Jun, I don't know who your family is?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when you go, are you going or not?"

"What if I don't go?" Sun Ce put down the wine glass in his hand. glanced at Zhou Tai and motioned for Zhou Tai to do it at any time.

The leading Yan soldiers grabbed Sun Ce, and shouted loudly: "Then don't blame me for being rude, take them all away!" ”

"Bang!"

Zhou Tai swung out with a punch and hit the Yan soldier hard. Before the leading Yan Bing could put his hand on Sun Ce's shoulder, his body had already flown out and smashed a table in the store.

Seeing this, the rest of the soldiers wanted to draw out the weapons they were wearing at their waists, but as soon as they drew half of their waist knives, Zhou Tai quickly kicked out four feet and directly kicked several soldiers away, making the store a mess.

"Childe, it seems that the military Sima just now became suspicious, we can't stay here for a long time, we must ......" Lu Su hurriedly said to Sun Ce.

"Here it is! Quick, surround this place! Without waiting for Lu Su to finish speaking, the military Sima who had just left rode a fast horse and galloped over with more than a dozen cavalrymen, stopped at the door of the restaurant, and pointed to Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su inside, and shouted loudly.

At this time, Jun Sima was followed by a group of soldiers armed with spears, such as Lin's spears were aimed at Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su in the restaurant, and the street was quickly emptied, and the people and vendors hid on both sides, and even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the restaurant did not know when they disappeared.

Seeing this, Sun Ce sneered and said to Zhou Tai: "Youping, I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, and these people will be handed over to you." By the way, don't forget to bring the repeater from their waists, and give me the military horse, and get a few horses by the way, which will save us another money. ”

"No!"

Outside the door of the restaurant, Jun Sima took out the steel knife he was wearing at his waist, waved it forward, and shouted: "Arrest these three spies for me!" ”

With a hula, a group of soldiers with spears poured in, and when Zhou Tai's body shook, he jumped out and met the group of soldiers with his bare hands.

When more than a dozen spears stabbed at him, Zhou Tai's long arm rolled up and rolled a dozen spears under his armpit, and at the same time wrapped his arms around it, and his arms suddenly exerted force, but the dozen soldiers with guns were flipped to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, only a dozen loud "clicks" were heard, and the wooden barrels of the guns were all broken, and then Zhou Tai threw out the gun heads held under his armpits, and those gun heads flew into the crowd like arrows, stabbing five soldiers to death.

Seeing Zhou Tai's force like this, the military Sima on horseback couldn't help but be stunned, raised the steel knife in his hand, and shouted: "Shoot them!" ”

At this moment, I saw Sun Ce's figure flashing, and he jumped out of the restaurant with an arrow step, and then jumped up, flew out of the air, and directly kicked down a cavalryman next to Sima of the army, and his body also fell on the back of the horse.

Jun Sima was even more stunned, and hurriedly waved his knife to look at Sun Ce, but before the knife could be cut, Sun Ce stretched out his long arm and grabbed him, and at the same time snatched the steel knife in his hand and put it on his neck.

"Don't move! Whoever makes a move, I'll kill him at once!" Sun Ce swept the Yan soldiers present with a pair of cold eyes, and said in a cold voice.

At this time, Zhou Tai also ran out of the store, and when everyone's eyes were attracted to Sun Ce, he snatched the blade of a soldier. He killed two cavalrymen, snatched two horses, and shouted at Lu Su: "Zijing, get on the horse!" ”

Lu Su then rushed out and got on horseback.

Sun Ce saw that Zhou Tai and Lu Su were safe, while the rest of the soldiers did not dare to move when they saw that he had taken Jun Sima hostage. Then he said loudly: "No one is allowed to follow, and if anyone dares to follow, I will kill him first." ”

Seeing that Sun Ce was about to run, Jun Sima was in a hurry, and immediately shouted loudly: "Stop them, leave me alone, don't let the spies escape!" Hurry up ......"

"Look for death!" Sun Ce gently wiped the steel knife on the neck of the military horse, and a bright red gushed out from the neck of the military horse, directly throwing the military horse to the ground. With a loud shout, he rode his horse and ran.

"Get out of the way!" Zhou Tai waved the knife in his hand, and after cutting down the two soldiers, he killed a bloody path, and at the same time did not forget that Jì snatched the repeater crossbow hanging from the soldier's waist when he left, he opened the way in front, Sun Ce was behind the hall, and Lu Su walked in the middle. In a puff of smoke, it disappeared from the streets.

There was no warning at the gates, and there was no knowledge of the commotion that had taken place in the city. Therefore, the city gate was not closed, and the three of them escaped from Yecheng proudly.

After galloping for more than ten miles, the three of them stopped and turned to a forest to rest.

"Young master, I didn't expect the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom to be so sensitive, we just asked a question about the crossbow. He was immediately arrested as a spy. Lu Su took a breath, remembering the scene just now, and still had palpitations, if it weren't for the Yan army fighting in the Central Plains, most of the army would be in the Central Plains. How could a big city like Yecheng escape so easily.

Sun Ce nodded and said to Zhou Tai: "Repeater, did you get it?" ”

"Got it, young master, please take a look!"

After Sun Ce took the repeater, he fiddled with it a few times, and when he saw that he could shoot continuously, he was very interested in this repeater, and his face showed a happy expression.

At this moment, a pursuer of the Yan Army quickly galloped past the road on the edge of the woods, rolling up smoke and dust all over the ground.

"Young master, it seems that the Yan army will not let us go so lightly, if we want to leave the Yan Kingdom, we really have to think of a way." Zhou Tai saw a small group of Yan cavalry galloping by, so he said to Sun Ce.

At this time, a smile appeared on Lu Su's face, he saw several carriages slowly coming from the official road, and immediately had an idea, and said to Sun Ce: "Young master, if you want to avoid the pursuers, I have a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Sun Ce and Zhou Tai asked in unison.

"Look!" Lu Su pointed to a few carriages on the official road and said to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce and Zhou Tai looked over and saw that there were several carriages on the official road, and the carriages all had a common feature, there was a small flag on the car, and the flag had three big words written on it, "Immigrant Joe", and they were slowly rushing towards Yecheng, and there was no one to protect them.

Sun Ce understood at the moment, and shouted to Zhou Tai with a smile: "Youping, prepare to carjack!" ”

Five or six carriages with "Migrant Joe" on the head of the carriage slowly drove on the smooth official road, the coachman drove the car, proud, he liked this kind of road very much, since crossing the Yellow River, came to the territory of Yan Kingdom, as soon as he stepped on such a road paved with cement, it was no longer bumpy, and it extended out for a long time, leading to Yecheng.

"Smack!"

The coachman was in a good mood to-day, and he raised his whip in his hand and whipped it in the air, and the mule and horse pulling the cart heard this familiar sound, and ran forward in astonishment for a long distance, only to find that it had not been whipped.

"Master, there are more than ten miles to go, and it is time to reach Yecheng." The driver shouted at the people sitting in the car.

The curtain was lifted, and a Taoist figure peeked out of the car, it was Zuo Ci. He glanced out and said to the person sitting in the car: "Qiao Gong, since we arrived in Yanguo, along the way, we have traveled through the mountains and rivers, from Jicheng to Hanoi, and today we have arrived in Yecheng. King Yan treats you well, gives you the number of the team, and the counties you pass through will be entertained, if you don't dedicate your two precious daughters to King Yan, then you can't say it. ”

Qiao Wei nodded, and said with appreciation: "What the Taoist said is good, but Er Qiao is still young, even if he wants to dedicate it to King Yan, he will have to wait a few more years, right?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "I know this, now that Mrs. Gongyi has just died in childbirth, King Yan is definitely not in the mood to marry a wife, and now that the Central Plains is fighting fiercely, King Yan is busy with military affairs, so he must not be distracted at this time." But. You and I are both Jiangnan people, and when we first arrive in our birthplace, we must find the most important backer. I once counted the hexagram for King Yan, and the hexagram showed that King Yan would ascend to the Ninety-Five Honor sooner or later, and now the Han Emperor has died. Ma Teng abolished the Han Dynasty and changed his name to Qin, and established himself as the emperor, the world is so turbulent, as long as he stands in the right position, he will be able to be prosperous and rich in the future. Qiao Gong has no children, so he can only rely on the two daughters under his knees, the second Qiao is very good-looking, and when he grows up, he will definitely be the color of the country and the city, dedicated to King Yan. Qiao Gong is the national father, and the rest of his life is naturally better. ”

After listening to Zuo Ci's words, Qiao Wei said, "What the Taoist chief said is extremely true. ”

"Hahahaha......" Zuo Ci waved the dust in his hand and laughed.

Suddenly, the coachman hurriedly reined in the horses, and the mules and horses let out a long neigh, and three masked men appeared on the official road in front.

"I planted this tree, and I opened this road. If you want to fight this, leave to buy road money! "Among the three masked men. The burliest one took a step forward, holding a sharp blade in his hand, and roared loudly.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly said tremblingly, "Master...... Yes...... There are thieves ......"

Qiao Wei was not panicked, and looked at the three big men on the official road in front of him, and his eyes lit up. He got out of the car with a smile, tidied up his clothes, took two steps forward, and arched his hand: "In Qiao Wei, Anhui County, Xialujiang, I have seen General Sun, General Zhou, and Lord Lu. ”

As soon as these words came out. The three masked men all looked at each other, took off their veils, and revealed their true faces, which turned out to be Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su.

Zhou Tai frowned, pointed at Qiao Wei and asked, "Do you know us?" ”

Qiao Wei said: "Hehe, when General Sun conquered Anhui County, I had witnessed the demeanor of the three of them. ”

When Sun Ce was wondering, he saw Lu Su coming over, close to his ear, and said softly: "Young master, this is Qiao Gong, who is quite famous in the Lujiang area, a talented man in Eastern Wu, there is no ...... he doesn't know."

"Oh, it turns out that he is Qiao Gong, but unfortunately after I conquered Anhui County that day, I left with Gong Jin, and I didn't have time to visit ...... in a hurry" Suddenly, Sun Cehu asked suspiciously, "Why did he appear here?" Still swaggering? ”

Lu Su said: "It seems that you are ready to settle in Yan Kingdom......

Sun Ce took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Since I know, then I won't hide it anymore, I am now being pursued by Yan soldiers, and I want to borrow Qiao Gong's carriage to hide, I don't know if Qiao Gong is willing?" ”

Qiao Wei showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and turned his head to look at Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci jumped out of the car, lifted the dust, looked at Sun Ce, and saw that Sun Ce was dignified and good-looking, so he stretched out his fingers and counted it, and then said with a smile: "The eldest prince is not far away, from Wu to Yan Kingdom, it must not be as simple as touring the mountains and rivers, right?" ”

"Are you ......" Sun Ce glanced at Zuo Ci and didn't know him, so he asked.

"Poor Dao Zuo Ci, the character Yuan Fang, cultivating in Tianzhu Mountain, now with Qiao Gong here, can meet the eldest son of King Wu, it is also a kind of fate. It is better to let Lao Dao count a hexagram for the eldest prince, you can know his good fortune and misfortune, and maybe he can also help the eldest prince leave the Wu country. ”

Sun Ce saw that Zuo Ci and Qiao Wei were not hostile, so he said: "My good luck and evil, how can it be calculated with one hexagram? I don't have time to give you nonsense, and if the pursuers can't find us in a while, they'll return, and I'll borrow your carriage to take refuge. If he returns to Wu in the future, this son will definitely thank the two again. ”

Zuo Ci said with a smile: "Don't worry, the cavalry of the Yan Army is more than ten miles away from here, even if you run back, it will take some time, the old way is only a hexagram for the son, and it doesn't take much time." If Childe doesn't let him tell the fortune, then the old way won't be able to help Childe. ”

Sun Ce didn't want to cause any more trouble, and the other party was still a Mao Laodao, plus a well-known Qiao Gong in Dongwu, he nodded heavily and said, "Then settle it quickly." ”

Zuo Ci said "um", took out a few five-baht coins, and threw them into the air, when the five-baht coins landed, he glanced at the hexagram, his brows suddenly furrowed, and then looked at Sun Ce again with disbelief, his eyes were still full of doubts, and he said puzzledly: "Why is this happening?" ”

Qiao Wei saw Zuo Ci change color, so he came to his side and asked, "Dao Chief, what does the hexagram say?" ”

Zuo Ci whispered in Qiao Wei's ear and said: "The hexagram is very strange, showing the ...... of resurrection from the dead."

Qiao Wei was also surprised and asked, "Dao Chief, you didn't miscalculate, right?" ”

After Zuo Ci thought for a moment, he took out a few more five-baht coins, and took another hexagram lesson, when the hexagram fell to the ground. Zuo Ci was immediately surprised after taking a look, took a few steps back, and shook his head incessantly.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Ci calculated another hexagram, and after reading the hexagram, he said: "Strange...... It's so weird...... Why is this happening......"

Everyone looked at Zuo Ci in puzzlement. But seeing Zuo Ci raise his head and look at the sky, stretching out his fingers and constantly pinching and calculating, it took a long time for him to return to normal, but he still had an incredible expression on his face.

"Dao Chief, what's wrong with you?" It was the first time Qiao Wei had seen Zuo Ci look so lonely, he knew that Zuo Ci was strong in Taoism, good at observing celestial phenomena, and very fond of fortune telling. often peeks into the heavens from the hexagrams, and when I see Zuo Ci's abnormality today, I can't help but be a little worried.

"There are visions in the sky, there are visions in people, and the world is turbulent, and it is really difficult to peep...... It's hard to spy on ......" Zuo Ci couldn't help shaking his head, standing there and saying this.

Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su saw Zuo Ci like this, and no one stepped forward. just watched quietly, thinking that Zuo Ci had lost his mind.

Who knows. Zuo Ci suddenly regained his normality, hung the dust on the crook of his arm, walked straight to Sun Ce, and bowed respectfully: "Childe, please get in the car quickly, I will send you to the beach safely." Then you will go out to sea by boat and return to Wu by sea. ”

Sun Ce wondered: "Dao Chief, the hexagram just now ......"

"The secret of heaven must not be leaked, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, please believe me. I will definitely send my son out of Yan Kingdom safely. Zuo Ci seemed to be afraid of some curse, and spoke very carefully.

Sun Ce didn't believe in this and didn't care, but when he saw that Zuo Ci wanted to help him, he simply got into the carriage.

Zhou Tai and Lu Su also went up immediately and sat with Sun Ce.

Qiao Wei walked up to Zuo Ci's side and asked, "Dao Chief, what did you see?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, otherwise I will be destroyed, and I will not be able to feather into an immortal ......"

Qiao Wei saw that Zuo Ci was reluctant to speak, so he didn't ask any more.

Zuo Ci said to Qiao Wei: "You go to the same car with Er Qiao, and I will go to the same car with Sun Gongzi, and they must be sent out of Yan Kingdom safely." ”

After speaking, Zuo Ci got into the carriage where Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su were, arched his hand at them, and smiled, not saying anything, but his eyes kept staring at Sun Ce.

Lu Su's eyesight was fine, and when he saw Zuo Ci's previous abnormal behavior, as well as the hexagram calculated for Sun Ce, he asked: "Dao Chief, any hexagram will be explained, I see that Dao Chang uses the sixty-four hexagrams of King Wen, presumably Dao Chang should also know the truth that there is a cause and there must be an effect, right?" ”

Zuo Ci nodded and didn't say anything.

"Then the chief, please tell me the hexagram just now......"

Zuo Ci said slowly: "I can only say that Gongzi is the reincarnation of the overlord of Western Chu......

"Hahaha......" After hearing this, Sun Ce said happily, "Since this is the case, then I will call myself the little overlord from now on......"

Zuo Ci smiled bitterly and said: "Childe, my senior brother Yu Ji is in Wu, if Childe has any problems, just go to him, he will definitely answer all the problems of Childe......"

"Yes!" Sun Ce said.

After setting off, Zuo Ci and Qiao Wei separated, and he personally escorted Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su to the east, while Qiao Wei took his two daughters to Yecheng.

……

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Ma Chaoshang was immersed in the pain of defeat and couldn't extricate himself, and he was sad every day, thinking that he had led an army of 200,000 to fight for the Central Plains, but ended up in a fiasco, and his heart was blocked.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Guanwai...... Outside the gate......" Wang Shuang, who was guarding the city, suddenly ran in from outside and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong with Kanwai?" Ma Chao asked lukewarmly.

"It's Cao Cao...... Cao Cao was actually outside the Tiger Prison Pass, saying that he wanted to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and said that he had something important to discuss, saying that he had a way to deal with the Yan Army, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could defeat the Yan Army in the future, and be invincible. Wang Shuang reported.

After Ma Chao heard this, he said: "Come with me, I want to see what tricks Cao Cao plays!" ”

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao led five hundred cavalry, including Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Xiu, to stand there and wait quietly.

Cao Cao looked at the Tiger Prison Close, but saw that the Qin Army's banner was flying in the wind on the Tiger Prison, the bows and crossbows were complete, the spears were like a forest, and the defense was extremely strict, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The Tiger Prison is towering, and the world is ...... Xiongguan."

At this time, Ma Chao, surrounded by Wang Shuang and Suo Xu, appeared on the head of the Tiger Prison Pass, but he did not have the spirit of the past.

"How is King Qin doing?" As soon as Cao Cao saw Ma Chao appear, he rode his horse and took a few steps forward. Arch Hands.

After the battle of Guandu, there were only more than 30,000 people left in the 150,000-strong army, nested in this small tiger prison, demoralized, Qiang Hu complained, and was forced to go. Ma Chao had no choice but to take them back to Guanzhong first, leaving only 2,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the Tiger Pass and wait and see what happened.

At this time, he saw Cao Cao's dusty and unkempt head, so he sneered: "I thought that King Wei would win the battle of Guandu, but I didn't know that in just a few days, King Wei was defeated like a mountain, and he was defeated and retreated. Not to mention the loss of the Central Plains, it was almost impossible to save his life. I don't know if the Yan army is too strong, or the Wei army is too weak? ”

Cao Cao listened to Ma Chao mocking himself there, laughed instead of being angry, and said slowly: "Compared with the King of Qin, I am quite good, the King of Qin came to seize the Central Plains with 200,000 male soldiers, but only 20,000 or 30,000 people could go back." If it weren't for King Qin finding a substitute to die on your behalf, it is estimated that King Qin would have been out of this world long ago. I, Cao Mengde, was just a momentary defeat. It can only be said that the Yan army has taken advantage of the time, place, and people, and the defeat of Wei is not a crime of war, but because of the instability of the people, Xuzhou and Qingzhou are the tumors of our Wei State, and the defeat of King Qin cannot be compared! ”

"Cao Cao! You're going to be out of your mouth. Believe it or not, I'm going down and killing you all! When Ma Chao heard Cao Cao's rebuttal, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and suddenly became angry, jumped like thunder, and shouted loudly by pointing at Cao Cao's nose.

Cao Cao sneered. said: "With my current strength, you can completely kill me, not to mention that I have traveled a long way and I am tired of people and horses." But do you know what I'm here for? ”

Ma Chao said contemptuously: "Could it be that you have nowhere to go and want to come to my command?" ”

"That's right! That's what I mean! Cao Cao replied unabashedly.

After Ma Chao heard this, he was stunned, glanced at Cao Cao, and then looked at Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and other generals behind Cao Cao, and suddenly laughed and said: "What are you kidding, half a month ago, we were still enemies, you burned my 20,000 elite ghost cavalry, this account, I haven't settled it with you, you still dare to come to die?" ”

"I'm not joking with you, as long as King Qin is willing to take me in and my subordinates, I am willing to give advice to King Qin, and when he makes a comeback, it is also the time for King Qin to win the world!" Cao Cao said seriously.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you must not believe Cao Cao, Cao Cao is known as the traitor of the troubled times, and he is the king of Wei, how can he deign to the prince? Why don't Your Highness give me a thousand cavalry, and I will capture Cao Cao and avenge our dead brothers! Wang Shuang hugged his fists.

After Suo Xu heard this, he shook his head, held a different opinion, and said to Ma Chao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although Cao Cao is dangerous, it is not uncontrollable. Don't forget that Cao Cao also has the reputation of being a capable minister who rules the world, this person is eloquent and strategic, definitely no less than Lin Nan, and as he said, the defeat of the Wei army is indeed a crime of non-war, it is due to the resentment of Xuzhou, if it were not for the fact that Cao Cao slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou in the early years, which made Qingzhou and Xuzhou fearful, maybe Qingzhou and Xuzhou would not have been captured by the Yan army so quickly. ”

After Ma Chao listened, he thought about it in his mind for a while, turned his head to Suo Xu and said, "Go on." ”

"No!" Suo Xu saw that Ma Chao continued to listen to the meaning, so he continued, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, our army has just experienced a big war, the 200,000 army has suffered heavy losses, the Central Plains is tired, the area around Luoyang in Gyeonggi has been abandoned for two years, and there is no one for hundreds of miles. Eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, occupy a geographical advantage, only a few soldiers and horses are allowed to guard the passes everywhere, which can make the Guanzhong peaceful. However, our army lacks well-educated people, and Cao Cao's account is full of outstanding people, if Cao Cao's subordinates can be taken for their own use, over time, our Great Qin will definitely be able to prosper, just like the Qin Dynasty of the First Emperor. ”

After hearing this, Ma Chao nodded slowly and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but how can those soldiers who died at the hands of the Wei army be appeased?" ”

"Thousands of troops are easy to get, one general is hard to find, the ghost army is all Qiang people, Qiang Hu is brave and ruthless, often proud of death in battle, with the faith of His Royal Highness the Prince in the hearts of Qiang people, as long as gold and silver are appeased, the Qiang people will definitely not say anything." Suoxu Road.

"Then what will Cao Cao do? This person is domineering and ambitious, if he kills him, his subordinates will definitely not be attached, and if he doesn't kill him, he will be a tiger breeder. ”

"It's simple. Once Cao Cao and the others are collected and brought back to Guanzhong, it will be impossible for him to do so, and he and the old department can be slowly stripped away and placed in various places, and the prince will stay with Cao Cao. With the courage of the prince, it is more than enough to deal with a Cao Cao. If Cao Cao really has two hearts, the prince can kill him at any time if he finds an excuse. ”

"This plan is very good, just do as you say, open the city gate, I want to go down to see Cao Cao!"

After saying that, he turned around and went down the tower.

Cao Cao is still standing outside the pass. Seeing Suo Xu and Ma Chao talking to each other there, he didn't know what to say, and suddenly saw Ma Chao walking down, so he frowned, and said in his heart: "Could it be that Ma Chao wants to lead the troops to battle?" ”

Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly turned around and said to the subordinates behind him, "Be careful. ”

After Xu Chu heard this, he stepped forward and came to Cao Cao's side. Xiahoudun held down the position, and Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others were all ready to fight at any time.

The gates of the Tiger Prison. Suddenly opened, Ma Chao rode out on a white horse, followed by Wang Shuang and Suo Xu, and then a team of personal cavalry.

Ma Chao did not carry a spear, but wore a long sword at his waist, and he rode his horse forward two steps. Arched his hand: "Cao Cao! I'm going to talk to you, you come closer! ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked, and he visually measured the range of the crossbowmen on the city tower, and then looked at the position where Ma Chao was standing. Thinking that if he passed like this, in case a cold arrow came, he would not be able to dodge at all, not to mention that Ma Chao's bravery alone was not simple, and before he figured out what Ma Chao meant, he decided to respond to all changes with no change.

Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao didn't move, so he asked, "What, are you afraid that I will harm you?" If I really wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't do it at all! It's easy to kill you. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It is precisely because it is so easy for you to kill me, so I don't dare to approach lightly, and I must not take risks lightly until I am sure that you accept me." ”

"Very good...... Ma Chao untied the long sword he was wearing at his waist and threw it to Wang Shuang behind him, and then pointed to Xu Chu and said to Cao Cao, "You are allowed to bring that fat man, but you are not allowed to carry weapons, let's go to the middle for an interview." ”

Cao Cao felt that this mention was very good, even if Ma Chao suddenly became difficult, Xu Chu could take care of his safety, so he nodded and whispered to Xu Chu: "Zhongkang, follow me." ”

Xu Chu untied his weapon, and at the same time took Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword, and threw it all to the soldiers behind him, and then walked forward with Cao Cao. However, he rode Ma Chao in front of Cao Cao, for fear that Ma Chao would suddenly be difficult.

The three of them gradually approached, and finally stopped at the same time at a distance of one meter, Ma Chao turned sideways, looked at Cao Cao, who was blocked by Xu Chu, and asked, "Do you really want to throw yourself under my command?" ”

"Nope! I mean, collaboration! ”

"Cooperation?" Ma Chao laughed, "Do you still have the conditions to cooperate with me?" ”

"Of course, my old department brought outstanding talents this time, the first battle of Guandu, the Qin army was defeated, and the losses were heavy, even if they returned to Guanzhong, without three or five years of recuperation, they would not recover at all. Because of this, the people I brought will have a place to display their skills, and they will inevitably make Guanzhong prosperous. ”

Ma Chao said: "Then how to cooperate?" ”

"Now that King Liang is the emperor, no matter how the little emperor died, nominally King Liang accepted the little emperor's concession. Now the prince of Qin is the crown prince, I am the king of Wei, although I was defeated, but the title is still there. Although the Great Han has been replaced by the Great Qin, in my heart, the Great Qin is the Great Han, so I am the King of Qin, not the King of Qin......"

Ma Chao listened to Cao Cao go around in a big circle, couldn't help it, and asked: "What do you want to say, say it straightforwardly, don't beat around the bush!" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "It's very simple, my title can't be changed, I still enjoy the prince, and it must be hereditary, only by ensuring my basic life, can I sincerely work hard for Daqin!" ”

"Whimsical! In Daqin, only the Ma clan is the king, and there is absolutely no king with a different surname, and besides, you, the king, are also given to yourself by yourself, the previous Han did not recognize it, and the current Daqin will never recognize it. Ma Chao said this resolutely, glanced at Cao Cao's deep eyes, and finally relieved, "At most, let you keep the marquis!" ”

"Deal!" Cao Cao was already wishful thinking, as if he had already figured out what Ma Chao was thinking, and immediately said without hesitation.

Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao agreed, so he said: "Come into the customs with me, and return to the customs with me tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao carried the joy in his heart, and led his subordinates to follow Ma Chao into the Tiger Prison Pass. In the evening, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others and their families all arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass.

The sun was setting, twilight, Lin Nan took Zhao Yun and a thousand cavalry to the outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, and saw Xiahou Yuan and others enter the Tiger Prison Pass, he realized something in his heart, and his brows couldn't help frowning, looking at Cao Cao and Ma Chao standing on the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, he felt a sense of loss.

"Cao Cao and Ma Chao have joined forces?" Lin Nan was surprised for a while, but they were sleepy and lacking, and they seemed powerless in the face of the Tiger Prison Xiongguan.

"Lord, Mao Jue, Ren Jun, Lu Qian and others have been captured, and the family members of the others have also been escorted to Zhongmu by Chen Zhi, in addition, Xun Chen sent news that there is a spy in Jizhou, judging from the appearance of the soldier describing the spies, it should be Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su...... "Zhao Yun summarized the several flying pigeon handfuls he had just received and told Lin Nan.

"A wave has not settled, a wave has risen, since it is no longer possible to capture Cao Cao, let Chen Dao and Xun Chen lead troops to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, if they can capture Cao Cao and Ma Chao, it is the best, if they can't be captured, they must also be expelled from the Central Plains. Zilong, you and I are on fire for tens of millions of Yang Zhai, the Chu army is taking advantage of the fire to rob, you must block their offensive, and if you want to deal with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, you must be! Lin Nan sighed heavily.

"What about Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su?"

"If it could be caught, it would have been caught a long time ago, and Huang Zhong should also deliver the news to Wu State at this time, just hope that before Sun Ce returns to Wu State, Sun Jian will quickly raise troops to attack Chu to relieve the passive situation of our army. Let's go, go to Yangzhai, meet the Chu army for a while, I want to see how strong Liu Bei, who I haven't seen for a few years, can be, and dare to compete with me for the Central Plains! Lin Nan turned the horse's head and shouted loudly.

"No!"

……

Wu State, Jian Ye City.

On the palace of King Wu's mansion, Sun Jian received an eight-hundred-mile rush that had just been sent back from Lujiang, and after opening it and reading it in a hurry, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and in anger, he tore the letter to pieces, raised his hand and split it with a palm, breaking off a corner of the throne, and his hand was bloody.

"Liu Bei! How dare you do this to me, I want you to pay with blood! Sun Jian shouted loudly, his face filled with anger.

In the main hall, the ministers all looked at each other when they saw such a scene, they had never seen Sun Jian have such a big temper, and there was a trace of sadness on his angry face.

Zhang Zhao took a step forward and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what angered Your Majesty so much that it made Your Majesty so angry?" ”

Sun Jian's eyes were full of anger, fiery red, as if burning, he raised his hand and immediately shouted: "Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao!" ”

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Zu Mao stood up at the same time, hugged their fists and said, "The minister is here!" ”

"Immediately mobilize the whole country and attack Chu with me."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military forces were surprised, but no one could figure out what was going on.

"Huanjie, you go to Shouchun, replace Huang Gai as the Taishou of Jiujiang, let him lead Shouchun's soldiers as the vanguard, immediately rush to Lujiang, take all the soldiers and horses wherever he passes, and attack Jiangxia by land!"

Huan Jie stood up, hugged his fists and said, "King, what happened, why did you attack the Chu State?" ”

"Liu Bei killed Bo Fu, I want to avenge Bo Fu, I want Liu Bei to pay for his blood debt!" Sun Jian was extremely angry, his voice was excessive, and he became extremely hoarse. After hearing Sun Jian's words, all the ministers were extremely shocked.
