Facing Ma Chao's questioning, the potter couldn't help but smile.

He hit his horse and walked not far from Ma Chao, and said to him: "Meng Qi's thoughts are quick, and I immediately guessed that Shicai's words were shouted by Tao, and I didn't hide it from the general, the person who shouted was Tao." ”

Ma Chao glared at the potter angrily, his eyes were sprayed with firelight, and he gritted his teeth and yelled at the potter: "Traitor, dare to play tricks on me? ”

The potter clapped his palms lightly, and then spread them out to the sides: "Why am I playing tricks on you, it's just a little joke with you, and in one I think you seem to like this joke made by Tao very much, so very good." ”

Ma Chao saw that the potter was smiling and dared to joke with him, and he couldn't help but be furious, and he shouted: "Pottery thief!" Take your life! ”

After saying that, he saw him riding straight towards the potter and killing him.

Behind the potter, Xu Chu couldn't bear it for a long time, he shook the horse chopping knife in his hand, and also rushed straight to Xu Chu to kill him.

No matter how fierce Ma Chao's momentum is, but in the face of Xu Chu, it is impossible for him to rush over all at once.

When he was young, he saw Xu Chu suddenly stopped in front of Ma Chao.

Xu Chu raised the war knife in his hand, slammed it at Ma Chao's head, and smashed it hard.

In an instant, I saw that the saber and the spear smashed together in an instant, making a deafening loud noise.

Ma Chao stared at Xu Chu who appeared in front of him in surprise, raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Bastard things! Get out of the way for me! ”

Xu Chu smiled and said, "It's just a trivial matter, what's so difficult?" If you can kill me, then won't you just pass over me? ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Chao immediately became furious!

"Okay, you reckless man, can't you kill you when I do?"

When he said this, he saw Ma Chao's hand suddenly exert force, and Xu Chu had a fierce fight, the two fought like a tiger and a vicious Jiao encountered, catching and killing each other in the field, under the moonlight, the two generals hit straight sand and stones.

After a short time, the two crossed horses and fought for 30 rounds, and the winner was evenly divided.

The two of them were flushed with red faces, sweating profusely, running back and forth between the venues, and after a while, they were out of breath.

Ma Chao looked at Xu Chu back and forth, and said with bared teeth: "Who are you?" ”

Xu Chu snorted heavily: "I am Xu Chu of Qian County!" ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, looked him up and down, and said, "You are the pig farmer under the potter?" ”

Xu Chu's face turned red all of a sudden: "Piff, dare to insult me?" ”

Ma Chao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with what I said?" ”

“……”

was silent for a while, but saw Xu Chu roar, and pounced on Ma Chao again, the two ran back and forth between the venues, and after a while, they saw that the two of them fought each other dozens of moves.

After this battle, the two are still evenly matched.

But at this moment, the battle between the soldiers of the two sides was nearing the end, and soon, several other generals of the Jinling Army arrived here.

Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help frowning, he swung away the knife in Xu Chu's hand with a force, pulled the reins of the horse, and rushed towards the rear.

Xu Chu chased closely behind him and shouted: "Ma family boy, there is no difference between victory and defeat, why did you actually run away?" ”

Ma Chao didn't look back, and said: "Tiger idiot, there are a lot of reinforcements for you today, I will spare your life, see you in the future, it is not too late for you and me to divide the victory and defeat!" ”

With that, he hurriedly led the cavalry away.

Xu Chu also did not intend to let him go, he led his troops to chase after Ma Chao in a hurry, but a potter ordered Pei Qian to ride a horse to stop Xu Chu.

Xu Chu was stopped by the potter, so naturally he would not chase again, he took a deep breath, and then turned his horse back to the potter.

"Why did the prime minister summon me back? If it's a little later, I think I can take the horse's head! ”

The potter raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, if you kill Ma Chao now, it doesn't fit the actual situation at the moment, so let's let him live." ”

Xu Chu didn't understand what the potter was thinking, but since the prime minister said so, he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he did what the potter thought at the moment.

With the growth of time, the princes of Guanzhong and the Cao army began to be gradually repelled by the generals of the Jinling army, in fact, this is also a matter of common sense, after all, the Jinling army is a very powerful person, and the strength is indeed far above these generals in Luoyang.

After a short time, the generals of the Guanzhong Army led their subordinates to retreat.

The potter was not pursued, he just arranged for the generals of each department to carefully clean the battlefield and not to omit anything.

After confirming that all the Guanzhong troops had withdrawn, the potters returned to their tents, and Guo Jia, Chen Deng and others also came to him as soon as possible.

After meeting, Guo Jia explained his doubts to the potter.

"Prime Minister, things seem to be a little wrong, the sneak attack of the Guanzhong Army, in Guo's opinion, doesn't look like a surprise victory, looking at their soldiers and horses, it seems to be in a state of hard work."

Chen Deng also agreed: "Looking at it down, this is indeed the case, Guan Zhongjun's intentions don't seem to be a surprise victory, could it be that there is something else hidden in this?" ”

The potter thought for a while and said, "I can't think of it, what do you think, tell me?" ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Prime Minister, could it be that Cao Cao wants to use the Guanzhong Army to kill more of our soldiers, and he himself actually has no intention of using the Guanzhong Army for a long time?" ”

Guo Jia's words seemed to have lit a bright light in the potter's mind.

He clapped his hands fiercely and said: "What Brother Feng Xiao said makes sense, looking at this situation, Cao Cao doesn't seem to treat the Guanzhong Army as an ally." ”

Guo Jia's face seemed to be a little unpleasant.

He said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao is planning to use the Guanzhong Army to fight with us, and finally get the benefit of the fisherman, he used the Guanzhong Army to fight my strength and block my pace of entering Xichuan, so that he can fight with Liu Zhang, Liu Bei and others in a corner of Xichuan, but it is a good fight!" ”

Chen Deng thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, Cao Cao's heart is really vicious, could this be a plan he came up with by himself?" ”

The potter shook his head and said, "Cao Cao is now in Hanzhong. I don't think this matter should be his own thinking, Luoyang City. When there is a high-ranking person present! ”

Guo Jia pondered carefully for a while: "Prime Minister, Guo feels that it is necessary to send someone to collude with the princes of Guanzhong." ”

Hearing this, the potter said with a smile: "I also mean the same, but there are quite a few princes in Guanzhong." We can't spread the net too wide, who should we communicate with, and ask the two gentlemen to come up with a charter for me. ”
