Right Fufeng, Huaili.

Zhao Yunze stood on the dirt slope with smoke and dust, and looked at the Huaili camp belonging to the Ma clan in Liangzhou in the distance. The scarce weeds outside the camp were gnawed by cattle and sheep on the hides, the shepherds who returned late sang the melodious old Western Liang dialect in the sky, the long yellow sand blowing from the northwest and the official road with little green in sight added to the desolation, but the smoke raised by the distant city showed that the people who were on the right side of the wind did not seem to be as chaotic as the court minister imagined.

It even seems that they are a little more comfortable than Luoyang.

Ma Teng's style is not the same as Zhao Yun and Chen Qun's imagination. Although on the way here, when passing through Luoyang, the lieutenant of Sili had already informed them that Ma Teng had sent a letter asking him to send Chang'an Ling, Zuo Fengyi, and Jing Zhaoyin, but the Yan people still thought that this was just an expedient measure by Ma Teng, the leader of the Xiliang rebels, but now Zhao Yun seemed to see that this Xiliang army did indeed do as Ma Teng promised to the imperial court...... Xizhou soldiers, do not go out to the right to support the wind.

And this Western Liang soldier is not quite the same as Dong Zhuo and Li Guo's Liangzhou soldiers.

Zhao Yun had fought against Guo Zhuo's troops on the battlefield against Dong Zhuo, and at that time they were still the elite troops under Dong Zhuo's subordinates, focusing on cavalry, known as Flying Bears. But even ordinary Liangzhou soldiers, most of them have war horses, Tai Shici once captured more than 4,000 Liangzhou horses in a battle in Xingyang City. The same is true of the Huaili camp, the cattle, sheep and lackeys who are pulling the ground are naturally indispensable to war horses, but Zhao Yun can see that more horses are just horses for travel, I am afraid that the elite soldiers and horses stationed in the Huaili camp are not horse troops.

Zhao Yun turned his head and met Chen Qun's equally puzzled eyes.

In the camp in the distance, hundreds of horsemen moved when they heard the wind, and the leader was Ma Dai, who was constantly cheering and cheering on the horseback with exquisite riding skills to the surrounding Liangzhou riders, Zhao Yun and Chen Qun knew that this was not the time to speak, and they suppressed their doubts after just looking at each other, and saw that Ma Dai had jumped off the horse with the reins more than ten steps apart, and let the long-haired wild horse mount snort, and opened his hands and laughed loudly at the two: "Haha, the two princes, father and brother are in Huaili, prepare Liangzhou's grape wine, please follow me into the camp!" ”

Zhao Yun and Chen Qun nodded in agreement, and with an order, the two captains who accompanied them set up camp under the leadership of their respective captains, and more than 100 cavalry soldiers accompanied the two to the camp. This time, Zhao Yun led the generals of Yanbei, and the captain of the headquarters was the young general Ko Ying from the Koji clan; He also received a piece of Zhang Baiqi in Guanzhong, with a post of 6,000, and they are all veteran soldiers who have been in battle for a long time, even in the chaotic Liangzhou, they are not weaker than any prince except Ma Teng and Han Sui.

The two of them were quite worried and cautious, but Guo Jia, who was pretending to be Zhao Yun's personal guard, heard the grape wine and swallowed his saliva quietly with a huge iron jacket. It's just that he knows the seriousness of the matter, and he is afraid that today's banquet and drinking will not have his share, but looking at the current appearance, Ma Tengxing may really be sincere, and he can only wait for Liangzhou to be closed in the future. He pondered, huh...... If Liangzhou is attached, you can ask the lord for a few jars of grape wine!

Not to mention Ma Dai, who led the way, he was even easier than Guo Jia. Now that he has reached Youfufeng, not to mention that the ancestors of three generations have been resting in Maoling, there are his uncles and brothers in the big camp not far away, where their military tent is, where is his hometown. Getting closer and closer to the Huaili camp, Ma Dai's face became more and more colorful, as if he had unloaded all the tension and precautions he had in Yedu, and kept introducing to Zhao Yun and Chen Qun what was the difference between the Qiang people and the Di people and the Han people who played the Qiang flute.

Not long after, as the camp outside Huaili City opened, revealing a cadre of Ma clan generals who came to greet them, Zhao Yun's gaze crossed them, revealing a clear look.

The elite soldiers in the camp are really not cavalry!

"Kansai men are good at making long soldiers, even women and children will hold halberds and spears. Ma Shoucheng is not as rich as Dong Zhongying, and his subordinates only have one cavalry in the hands of the dogs, and they are currently stationed in Maoling. It seemed to see Zhao Yun's puzzlement, and the majestic man who was out of the camp under the camp smiled and answered the doubts in Zhao Yun's heart, and then hugged his fists and said: "I am Ma Teng, and the two are General Zhao and Chen Fujun, the subordinates of Da Sima, enter the camp quickly, Ma has prepared a thin wine to wash the dust for the two of them!" ”

Compared with Ma Teng's enthusiasm, Zhao Yun noticed the faux pas, looked at the Liangzhou leader who had fought with Li Guo in front of him, only to feel that his body was very tall and his face and nose were different, and he bowed and said: "It's rude, General Ma, under Zhao Yun." ”

Chen Qun also arched his hand and said: "Under Chen Qun, I have seen General Zhengxi. ”

Ma Teng welcomed Zhao and Chen into the camp for a banquet, outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Ma Dai with a smile on his face was about to follow everyone into the tent, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the figure holding an iron spear next to the stable in the camp but couldn't help but pause, carefully opened the tent curtain and glanced inward, and said to Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and other brothers behind him: "You first enter the account with the general, don't belittle the distinguished guests, I will go to see my brother...... If my uncle asks me, he says I'll go to the stable and wash the horses, and I'll be here in a moment! ”

So saying, the man ran to the stable.

"Brother, today the general entertains distinguished guests, why don't you be the eldest son in the account as a companion, but here to watch the stable?" Although Ma Chao is the elder brother, Ma Dai's words are more like a brother scolding a brother who doesn't know anything, his father Ma Zong and his uncle Ma Yue were lost in the desert of the Western Regions in the early years, and they have followed Ma Teng since they were young, and they have experienced much more hardships than Ma Chao, and they are naturally more sensible than him, and asked: "Leng Lengqing, enter the account quickly." ”

"The Kanto bandits, what kind of guests are they? It's not as good as a few horses. Where is Liangzhou bad, my father abandoned Liangzhou to guard Maoling. Ma Chao stared at the big tent of the Chinese army that was shining through the lights and drumming, turned his face to look at Ma Dai, and said, "That white-faced Kwantung general is Zhao Zilong who let Guo Aduo run away?" ”

Ma Chao's biological mother is a lowly Qiang girl, Ma Dai knows too well his brother's sensitive and proud heart, he hopes to occupy a place in the world with his bravery and strength, rather than hoping to get his due position in the court like his uncle.

"General Zilong's bravery is probably on par with his brother." Ma Dai nodded slightly, leaning against the pillar of the stable and sighing towards the military tent, he knew that he probably couldn't persuade his brother to enter the tent...... From Liangzhou to Guanzhong, and even went on a pilgrimage to meet the emperor and Da Sima, the elder brother was extremely resistant to this matter. Suddenly, he heard footsteps beside him, turned his head and showed a slight smile on his helpless face, and said, "Why did the little sister slip out of the tent?" ”

"Naturally, my father asked me to find my two brothers." The person who came was Ma Yunlu, the pearl of the Ma family, and then Ma Dai's words said with a smile: "General Zhao is born heroic, but he is not like a brave general who fights on the battlefield......"

Before Ma Yunlu finished speaking, Ma Chao had already thrown the iron spear to Ma Dai vertically, and walked towards the Chinese military tent with the hilt of the sword at his waist, frowning and saying with a rebellious face: "Whether the Kwantung general has the ability or not, I will know in a while." ”

"Let's try it with a trick!"
