Chapter 278: Invitation to Battle
"Dare to ask the lord, why did you promise not to attack the mediocrity within that year, now in the troubled times, the soldiers are not tired of deceit, and the words are unfounded, if you take advantage of this Zilong General to return to us and wait, only send 20,000 troops to take the mediocrity, why not, the lord has been planning for a long time, and he can't be rash in this matter!"
Although Xu Shu, Huang Zhong and others also arrived here, because everyone had followed Liu Feng for a long time, they knew Liu Feng's temperament very well and did not say anything to persuade them, but Yan Pu, who had recently returned to Liu Feng, did not know about it.
He has been in Hanzhong for a long time, and a large part of the reason why Zhang Lu is subject to Cao Cao everywhere is that Cao Cao has troops here after getting the mediocrity, which makes Zhang Lu Rumang on his back and has to obey Cao Cao in many things, so Yan Pu knows the key to the mediocrity, and when he heard Liu Feng's words, he gave up this low-hanging fruit, and almost jumped up in a hurry.
Just when Liu Feng wanted to use a set of rhetoric to dispel Yan Pu's full enthusiasm, but Zhao Yun, who didn't want to stand in front of Yan Pu, took the lead in the queue, Liu Feng saw Zhao Yun out of the ranks, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, how could Liu Feng not know Zhao Yun's sincere temperament, but just when Liu Feng wanted to stretch out his hand to stop it, Zhao Yun didn't seem to see Liu Feng's movements, and he had already bowed to Yan Pu and took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Sir, don't worry, the reason why the lord made a promise that he could not capture the land of mediocrity within a year is not that the lord is young and willful, but that the lord is threatened with this condition, and the lord has no choice but to agree to this matter, but it has nothing to do with the lord, and the lord is a man of his word, although this matter has some impact on the expansion of Yizhou, but the lord of the golden mouth, Yun Xianglai has no intention of remorse."
As soon as Zhao Yun's words came out, it immediately set off an uproar above Liu Feng's court, and even Xu Shu, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and other people who knew the relationship between Liu Feng and Zhao Yun shook their heads secretly when they heard this.
Such a price, except for Liu Feng who they knew, I am afraid that there will be no second person who can do it, but they also did not say anything this time, just because they knew how capable Zhao Yun was, and they also knew that it was precisely because Liu Feng had such a temperament and such a person that they chose to follow Liu Feng closely behind Liu Feng when he did not have a self-reliance.
But not all of Liu Feng's courtiers have followed Liu Feng's side since a few years ago, such as Yan Pu, who spoke out before, such as Fa Zheng and Meng Da, and other courtiers who had just returned from Yizhou, and Ma Chao, who was known as the first brave general under Liu Feng before.
Ma Chao's heart, at this time, for this general who is the same age as himself, although he looks a little handsome but does not lose his elegance, Liu Feng for the surrender of Zhao Yun, actually secretly ventured to Shangyong, which was occupied by the enemy, and in order to surrender Zhao Yun, he also agreed to such a condition that no one can agree to, between a strategic place and a general, Liu Feng chose the latter, which was not personally persuaded by Liu Feng Ma Chao, how could he feel good in his heart.
Although Ma Chao is not an eventful person, he has little prestige, and his heart is full of arrogance for more than ten years in Liangzhou, and he didn't want to show his inner thoughts in such a situation.
But in the face of Zhao Yun, who didn't seem to be very brave not far from him, a strong feeling rose in Ma Chao's heart, wanting to confirm whether this fierce general, who was also quite famous in Jingzhou, was really as worthy of such a huge price as Liu Feng had done.
So, Ma Chao's silver teeth clenched, straightened his clothes, and before Yan Pu could speak, he walked to the opposite side of Zhao Yun and said to Zhao Yun: "In the next is Liangzhou Ma Chao, I have heard the prestige of General Zilong for a long time, and now the lord is asking General Zilong to fight side by side with us, at such a cost, those who want to be familiar with the importance of the mediocre land are a little unconvinced, so Chao has an idea in his heart, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”
Zhao Yun looked at Ma Chao, almost immediately knew what Ma Chao was thinking, so he also smiled slightly, hugged his fist to Ma Chao and said: "General Meng Qi was desperate in Tongguan General Cao ** was forced to cut his beard and abandon his robe before he escaped, he is really a fierce general who is not born in the world, in the future, you and I will be under the account of the lord together, we should work together to help the lord create a great cause, since General Meng Qi has something to think about, I think it can also solve this matter, but it doesn't hurt!" ”
Originally, Liu Feng saw that Ma Chao actually walked straight to Zhao Yun's side, and he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, for Ma Chao, although Liu Feng also tried his best to recruit, but due to the constraints of conditions, Liu Feng did not personally take risks like recruiting Zhao Yun, and he was also a fierce general in the world, and Ma Chao had a little unhappiness in his heart It was also something Liu Feng could think of.
But hearing this conversation between the two, Liu Feng was no longer worried in his heart, at least Liu Feng knew from these words that Ma Chao had no malicious intentions, and Zhao Yun also skillfully brought the relationship between the two a little closer with just one sentence.
"What Mr. Yan Pu is worried about is nothing more than that General Zilong's talent can't offset the mediocre place, so he is super brave to think, why don't you and I fight in this hall, so that the princes can see the skills of General Long, and as soon as General Zilong makes a move, the princes will know that with the bravery of General Zilong, it is only a matter of time before they take it, and Chao Bucai, I also want to learn in my heart, I don't know if the general thinks it is okay?"
Ma Chao has been fighting with many generals under Liu Feng's command in private these days, except for Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who can barely parry under Ma Chao's attack, none of the other generals can survive ten rounds under Ma Chao, which makes Ma Chao already famous in Liu Feng's army.
Therefore, when Ma Chao raised this matter, everyone showed eagerness in their eyes, if Zhao Yun can really insist on being undefeated under Ma Chao, then this matter is indeed not a loss, if Zhao Yun is just a vain, then Liu Feng's promise does not have to be taken seriously, and when they are attacking the mediocrity, Liu Feng has no reason to refuse.
"If the lord agrees, Yun Zi will sacrifice his life to accompany him." When Zhao Yun heard this, there was no surprise on his face, he just arched his hand and looked at Liu Feng.
Just when everyone thought that Zhao Yun didn't want to compete with Ma Chao, he kicked the ball to Liu Feng and wanted Liu Feng to give him a step down, only to see Liu Feng laughing on the main seat, and then waved his hand and said: "There is nothing wrong with this, but the two of them are fierce generals under my command, don't be a killer!" ”
