Chapter 53: Ma Chao Attacks the Mean

"What's going on?" Ma Chao shouted, and ran out to see after speaking, only to see Zhang Heng and Li Kan leading the army to attack, fluttering flags, fanfare, and the dust trampled by the mount blurred the gloomy sunset, for fear that Ma Chao would not know that they were here to kill him.

Ma Chao shouted:

"What are you here for?"

"Ma Chaoxiaoer, we are here to kill you!" Zhang Heng and Li Kan shouted, the two of them have that IQ, and they can't be wrong.

Ma Chao was furious, even if the army attacked, what was he afraid of?

Ma Chao rushed forward directly, assassinated Zhang Heng who was charging on a horse in an instant, and ripped Li Kan off his horse and rolled on the ground with one hand, Ma Chao grabbed Li Kan by the collar and glared angrily.

"Big brother, spare your life," Li Kan said, "This is all Han Sui's idea, to kill you, I am just a vanguard." ”

Ma Chao threw Li Kan casually, hum, kill you and dirty my hands. At this time, Ma Dai Yan Xing rode forward, Ma Chao took a horse at random, and Ma Dai said:

"Brother? What to do? ”

"What else can I do, Han Sui wants to kill, of course I'm going to kill him!"

"Well, I'm afraid there's something hidden, but we're still," Ma Dai said.

"What else is there to say about this, is it possible that Zhang Heng and Li Kan came to kill me! Now I'm going to kill Han Sui, do you follow me! Ma Chao shouted, and without waiting for Ma Dai Yanxing's reply, he called the soldiers to get on their horses and kill Han Suijun.

"Okay." Ma Dai said lightly, and Yan Xing followed Ma Chao.

Han Sui and the others, who arrived later, saw that Zhang Heng and Li Kan were defeated by Ma Chao, and Ma Chao killed them, and the momentum shook the sky, like a million army attacking, and they didn't feel that they had no will to fight. Cheng Gongying said to Han Sui Cheng Yin: "Zhang Heng and Li Kan are fighting for merit and making mistakes!" ”

Cheng Yin said: "Now that Ma Chao is brave, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to resist, it is better to open the city gate and ask Zhang Quan to defeat Ma Chao." ”

That's a good idea, Han Sui thought. "Okay." Han Sui nodded and replied, so the generals led the fleeing south.

Han Sui and others ran in front, Ma Chao chased behind, but in the chaos of the army, there were many soldiers and horses blocking the road, how could not catch up, Ma Chao saw the south gate of Yangping Pass wide open, Han Sui and others led the army out of the city to flee in the direction of Zhang Quanjun, and followed closely without hesitation.

However, he said that Zhang Quan, who was watching the sunset under Yangping Pass, was bumped into by Han Sui, saying that they were chased out of the city by Ma Chao, hoping that Zhang Quan would send an army to resist Ma Chao. Zhang Quan didn't doubt at all that this was Han Sui Ma Chao's strategy, if there was still a person in the Xiliang army who was high enough to come up with such a scheme, the Xiliang princes would have expanded outward a long time ago. Immediately with Han Sui, the whole army was together, and waited for Ma Chao in a defensive position.

Ma Chao rushed out of the south gate of Yangping Pass, and found that there were forty or fifty thousand soldiers waiting for him in front, so he immediately slowed down and stopped; Looking around, only the second general Ma Dai Yan Xing, and three or four thousand sergeants, knew that it was very difficult to kill Han Sui today.

"What now?" Ma Chao said.

Ma Dai replied: "The enemy army is numerous, and we are afraid that we will not be able to keep Yangping Pass, so it is better to withdraw our troops and return to Tianshui!" ”

"Yan Xing, what do you think!" Ma Chao said.

"I also think so, let's go back to Xiliang, under the shadow of General Ma Teng, we can still fight with Zhang Quan Han Sui!" Yan Xing said.

"Back to Xiliang?" Ma Chao shouted loudly, and Zhang Quan, who was hundreds of meters away, also heard it clearly, "I led an army of 60,000 to the south, and I will go back with three or four thousand today, how can I have the face to go back!" ”

Ma Chao continued: "Hmph! Shade? Joke, the big husband should be the king of himself! How can you bend people for a long time! ”

"This," Ma Dai can't understand Ma Chao, ordinary people won't understand, how can he be said to be subservient under the shadow of his father. But this is the case in history, and the contradiction between Ma Teng and Ma Chao in history is very deep. After the Battle of Chibi, Ma Teng entered Beijing to report to Cao Cao, saying: "I, Ma Teng, will definitely support you on behalf of Xiliang 100,000 iron horsemen!" Try your best to do it with Liu Bei and Sun Quan! Don't worry about the rear, I'll defend the rear with you! ”

Let's not talk about Ma Teng's words, Cao Cao listened to it or not, but before he finished saying these words, Ma Chao rebelled against Cao Cao in Xiliang, led an army of 100,000 to the east, and directly seized Cao Cao's Chang'an.

Cao Cao was furious and killed Ma Teng. When Ma Chao raised the army, he never cared about Ma Teng's life or death.

"What do you say, brother?" Ma Dai asked.

"Zhang Lu surrendered Zhang Xiu, now Shangyong County east of Hanzhong is a borderless land, we lead four thousand iron horsemen to go over, and we can directly take Shangyong County!" Ma Chao said with full of ambition and confidence.

Even if it is captured, as soon as Zhang Quan's army comes, it will not be able to hold it. Ma Dai thought. Ma Dai Yan was silent.

"What? You don't want to come with me? Ma Chao said, "Then I'll go first, and I will treat you again when I reign in the world." Then he turned back and cried out:

"Boys, follow me to break through and seize the mediocrity!"

Ma Chao's shout was grand, Zhang Quan and Pang Tong Han Sui and others could hear it clearly, Pang Tong Xu Shu had been in Jingzhou for many years, and he still knew that Shangyong was in the middle of Hanzhong and Xiangyang, if Shangyong was taken by Ma Chao, the connection between Yizhou Hanzhong and Jingzhou Xiangyang would be blocked, Pang Tong immediately said:

"Young master, you can't let Ma Chao go to seize the mediocrity!"

"No," Zhang Quan said lightly, and then said to Wen Ping: "Let the soldiers make a way and let Ma Chao go." ”

Of course, Ma Chao was not polite, and led the army directly, thinking: It seems that this Zhang Quan is really stupid, let me escape twice, bah, I broke through under his layers of blockades twice.

Only Ma Dai and Yan Xing were left hanging under Yangping Pass, and they were lonely in the bleak sunset.

"The young master is benevolent, and he knows that there will be many casualties among the soldiers if Ma Chao is left, but letting Ma Chao go is a disaster after all." Xu Shu said with a sigh.

Zhang Quan was embarrassed, and then casually explained to Pang Tong Xu Shu: We now occupy Jingzhou Yizhou, and we will soon occupy Liangzhou, almost half of the world (Zhang Quan thought about it when he said the word "world", it is not good to use the world, China and the world are far apart, but he still decided to use it first), Cao Cao definitely can't sit still, but he himself is harvesting Yuan Shao's territory in the north, and he can't spare time to go south, but it is likely to let Cao Ren, who is sitting in Wancheng, Nanyang, invade south. Placing Ma Chao between Wancheng and Xiangyang in Hanzhong can just hinder Cao Ren from going south, and Liu Bei in Xinye is also the same.

At this point, Ma Chao fled, and the battle for Hanzhong ended. Han Suicheng, Gongying, Cheng Yin, Yang Qiu, Liang Yu and others returned to Zhang Xiu.

Wen Ping stepped forward to capture Ma Dai and Yan Xing, who were alone, Ma Dai and Yan Xing did not resist, what did they resist when the soldiers were gone?

Zhang Quan said with a smile:

"Zhonghua, Yanming, are you willing to follow me to the Central Plains to hunt?"

Ma Dai replied lightly: "As long as Uncle Shoucheng (Ma Teng) is still the head of Xiliang, I will not serve anyone else." Yan Xing also nodded.

"Then I'm afraid you won't have to wait too long," Zhang Quan said with a smile, looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking into the ground, and replied, "I'm afraid that Ma Teng is no longer the head of Xiliang now." ”

ps: In chapter 43, Huang Zhong led his soldiers out of the city, and he hasn't appeared since.
