Ma Chao ordered someone to push Lu Qian up, and shouted: "Enemy general, who are you?" ”

Lu Qian just faintly replied to the word "Lu Qian". He can't help but reply to these two words, otherwise how can he be famous in the Chu army, and how can he go down in history?

Seeing that the other party was so indifferent, Ma Chao suddenly became angry in his heart, and shouted in a deep voice: "You don't measure your strength, you dare to block the heavenly soldiers, it is no different from blocking the car with a mantis arm, and you are defeated and captured, what do you say?" ”

Lu Qian laughed when he heard this, and then said: "I, Lu Qian, am just a nameless general, today I can scare the world-famous Ma Chao, and I can also kill more than 1,000 of his subordinates, such a brilliant record is enough for me to shine for a thousand years, and I don't need to say anything at all." ”

Ma Chao was immediately embarrassed, and said loudly: "Someone, escort Lu Qian to the intersection for me, and behead me on the spot to sacrifice the heroic souls of my fallen soldiers."

Lu Qian didn't speak at all, and he didn't need to use his hands, he laughed and walked down by himself.

Ma Chao drank Lu Qian and said slowly: "Lu Qian, do you know that if you go, you will have no life?" ”

Seeing that Lu Qian didn't hesitate, he said lightly: "So what? ”

Ma Chao slowly stepped forward, gently untied Lu Qian's rope, then helped him to his seat, and said: "It was a joke before, I admired the general's talent, and I wanted to ask the general to help me." Now Cao Cao's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a thief, insulting the Son of Heaven, deposing the queen without authorization, killing the prince, slaughtering courtiers, and accumulating many evil deeds. ”

Lu Qian didn't appreciate it, and sneered at Ma Chao: "You don't have to come to this set, the so-called scholar dies for his confidant, and the King of Wei has always treated me with kindness, I, Lu Qian, have already decided to donate this remnant to the King of Wei, and now I entrust the blessing of the general." It is a blessing to be able to go down in history, the big husband has something to do and something not to do, the big husband can't be lewd when he's rich, the poor can't move, and the mighty can't bend. Since I am determined to be loyal to the King of Wei, why should I vote for someone else halfway and cause a loss to my reputation? If the general wants to be good to me, please give me a death to fulfill my name. ”

Ma Chao suddenly burst into tears and said: "Is it really more important to be famous than to be alive?" Please also think twice, sir. ”

Lu Qian sighed softly and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I, Lu Qian, am only loyal to King Wei in this life. After finishing speaking, Lu Qian slowly walked to the intersection and killed him.

Ma Chao saw that Lu Qian was so resolute. With a long sigh, he no longer persuaded bitterly, he admired this loyal minister loyally, ordered someone to bury Lu Qian, and then led the army to continue to advance.

When Ma Chao led the army to the designated place, he found that Cao Cao's army had fled to the center of the Yellow River, and he couldn't help but be surprised. It seems to have been waiting here for a long time, and on the left. It was the royal flag of the lord Liu Qi.

Ma Chao hurriedly got off the horse, came to the royal flag on the left, and met Liu Qi, and at the same time asked Liu Qi for guilt: "King, the end is too late, and you are really guilty." Please also ask the king to punish him severely. ”

Liu Qi asked with a smile on his face, "I don't know why Meng Qi is late?" ”

Ma Chao arched his hand again, and said with a look of shame: "The last general was ordered to pursue the Cao thief, but he didn't expect Lu Qian to suddenly break down, this person first used a deception scheme, and the last general relaxed his vigilance when he was complacent. As a result, it was raided, lost more than 1,000 brothers, the last general saw that the enemy was attacking fiercely, and thought that he had encountered the ambush of Cao's army, and led the army to retreat in fright, and later sent someone to inquire only to learn that the enemy army was only a few thousand men and horses, the last general was ashamed and angry, and immediately led and returned, and launched an attack again, although the enemy army was all wiped out, and Lu Qian was captured, this back and forth was delayed for a lot of time, and the last general ordered to kill all the enemy troops under the anger. , and delayed a lot of time, it was the end of the future, and it was defeated, and the end will be guilty, and the lord is asked to punish him severely. ”

As soon as Liu Qi heard that the general was called Lu Qian, he knew that he was also a well-known general under Cao Cao's account, this person was able to use tricks to deceive, and skillfully used Cao Cao's prestige and Ma Chao's arrogance to show that he had good ability, so he asked: "Where is Lu Qian now?" ”

But he saw Ma Chao and said: "The last general originally intended to recruit him, but he didn't expect this person to be unmoved and insisted on dying. ”

Liu Qi sighed softly when he heard this: "Lu Qian is so loyal and strong, but it is commendable, if this is the case, then forget it." Meng Qi, this time you led the army to fight Puyang, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, although there were small mistakes, but they could not cover up the merits, so this time the merits were enough, the merits were greater than the faults, and you still knew that the selection of talents for the country was in anger, although it was not successful, but it was also worthy of appreciation, this king will definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds, of course, after this battle, you should also get some lessons, that is, Cao Cao has many capable people, and you must not take it lightly, and be proud and underestimate the enemy, otherwise, once you wake up after suffering a loss, it will be too late. ”

"No. The last general must bear in mind the lesson and ensure that there will never be a similar incident. Ma Chao's head was covered with cold sweat, he bowed to the ground, and said respectfully.

After Liu Qi helped him up, Ma Chao couldn't help but ask: "Lord, our army is all gathered at the Dunqiu Ferry, watching Cao Jun cross the river and escape from afar, why is this?" Now that the river is frozen and the road is slippery, why doesn't the king lead his army to chase after him? ”

I only heard Liu Qi laugh and said: "Now that the Wei army reinforcements are gathering on the north bank, if we lead the army to pursue, I am afraid it will be easy to go and difficult to return, besides, this king has already made relevant arrangements, although Cao Cao escaped this time, but we still have a big gift waiting for him." ”

As soon as Liu Qi finished saying this, he suddenly heard a huge roar on the surface of the river, and then saw that many soldiers in Cao Wei's army suddenly fell into the icy river.

Ma Chao was very strange when he saw this, and hurriedly took out the "clairvoyance" to look into the distance, and immediately found the tragic picture of the clothes: a huge ice hole suddenly appeared on the ice surface that was originally frozen several feet thick, and the surrounding area of the ice cave had turned red blood, and it seemed that many people should have been injured, but Ma Chao was difficult to see the wounded in the clairvoyance, because most of those wounded had fallen into the ice cave.

The sergeants in the back saw the change in front of them and hurriedly stopped, but where did they stop when they said they stopped on the slippery ice? I saw that those soldiers fell into the ice cave with a terrifying face.

At this time, Ma Chao also saw that near the ice cave, there was a large group of people around the Wang Qi of King Wei, who struggled to get up from the ice, and then lifted a man in a red robe covered in blood, and cautiously walked towards the other side of the river.

"Could it be that the injured one is Cao Cao?" Ma Chao can basically determine this from the red robe worn by the other party as Cao Cao's identity and the nervous scene of the people around him, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw this, and secretly thought: "I really didn't expect the lord to have such unpredictable methods, no wonder I wasn't in a hurry before." But how did the lord do this? ”

Ma Chao couldn't help but look at Liu Qi who was smiling and groaning on the side suspiciously.

But seeing Liu Qi, he said with a smile: "I didn't expect that even Cao Cao was injured this time, this is an unexpected gain, hehe, this time the enemy army has seen the power of our army's gunpowder, and then they don't have the courage to attack my Central Plains, right?" This is a great opportunity for our army to take the opportunity to recover the land of Henan in Taishan County and Qingzhou. And judging from the scene just now, Cao Jun lost at least hundreds of tiger guards and elite tiger and leopard cavalry, which definitely made Cao Cao feel distressed. ”

But how did the lord do this? Why didn't Cao Cao find out? Ma Chao couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and hurriedly asked Liu Qi.

But seeing that the smile on Cao Cao's face suddenly froze, he said softly: "If you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, you need extraordinary people, and the reason why we were able to successfully ambush Cao Cao this time is mainly because our army has dead soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice." At the beginning, the king had a discussion with Jia Xiangguo, Xunzhong Shuling, Pang Fushu and others before breaking through Puyang, and had expected that after Cao Cao was defeated, he would inevitably go to the Dunqiu ferry and retreat to Hebei from here, because this is the only ferry within hundreds of miles, although the river is frozen now, but the river here is the narrowest, the road is the smoothest, and Cao Cao's reinforcements are gathering on the other side and waiting, Cao Cao has no reason not to choose here, so at that time Jia Xiangguo persuaded the king to bury gunpowder in the middle, As long as the gunpowder is detonated when Cao Cao's army arrives, it will definitely bring a lot of casualties to the enemy, and the main purpose is to shock the enemy army and not dare to provoke our army. ”

But seeing Liu Qi sighed, he continued: "At that time, this king thought that it was easy to be discovered by the enemy army when he lurked on the ice, and once it was discovered, it would be difficult to detonate the gunpowder at all, and the lurkers would have no way to live. When the enemy approaches, he quietly lights the fuse. As soon as Cao Cao's army arrived in front of him, the gunpowder exploded, and even if they found out, how far could they escape on the slippery ice? ”

Ma Chao nodded again and again when he heard it, but heard Liu Qi say with tears in his eyes: "This king considered that our dead soldiers would inevitably die, so he wanted to refuse, but where did he think that Qin Xu, a personal soldier next to him, took the initiative to ask for his life, and was willing to swear to complete this mission, this king couldn't bear to send him to death, so he categorically refused, but he didn't expect him to ask for his life again and again, and he forced him to die, and Jia Xiangguo persuaded him, this king finally had no choice but to agree, and the later result was the scene he saw: "Cao's army suffered a lot of losses, and even Cao Cao was injured, However, Qin Xu was also crushed in the first time, and it was impossible to find even a complete corpse.
