Wancheng, carpenter's shop.

A sweaty carpenter handed a saddle to Ma Yue and said in awe: "Great chief, according to the pattern you draw, the small one has already made a sample, can you see what is wrong with it?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Come on, lead the horse!" ”

Ma Yue personally took the improved saddle from the carpenter and covered it on the horse's back, and locked it tightly with a cloth belt made of linen through the lock, and then turned around and shouted: "Pei Yuanshao! ”

Pei Yuanshao's expression was dazed, and he said, "Here!" ”

"Get on the horse!"

"Yes."

Pei Yuanshao agreed, took two steps forward and reached out to hold the saddle and turned over the horse, and as soon as he sat down, he was shocked and said, "Hey, why is there an extra horse pedal here?" Haha, but it's more comfortable. ”

Pei Yuanshao's voice fell, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded not far away, and he saw that Guan Hai, a black man like an iron tower, had appeared on top of a tall horse, Guan Hai was holding a long knife in his hand, and his eyes were murderous, and the whole person was like a cheetah that had found its prey, and it had firmly locked Pei Yuanshao.

"The joust begins!"

Ma Yuesen smiled, and a trace of cold flame flashed in his eyes. At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, there was only one unilateral horse, the purpose was only to facilitate the knights to get on and off the horse, not to improve the stability and flexibility of the knights. In other words, people of this era did not yet know how significant the impact of horse shoeing on the combat effectiveness of cavalry was.

"Drink!"

"Hah!"

Pei Yuanshao snorted, his eyes burned with scorching killing intent, and he rode his horse to meet Guan Hai, Guan Hai also shouted, rode his horse to meet each other, the two rode against each other, and intersected in an instant, Pei Yuanshao and Guan Hai swung out a knife at the same time, slashing together without any tricks, and the sound of gold and iron resonance suddenly resounded in the sky, and it was exhausted for a long time.

The war horses under the crotches of the two raised their heads at the same time and let out a mournful neigh, staggering.

Pei Yuanshao's majestic body trembled violently, as if he had been devoured by heavenly thunder, his hideous face turned red in an instant, and Pei Yuanshao almost gritted his steel teeth before swallowing back the hot blood that surged to his throat. However, although Pei Yuanshao was hit by Guan Hai until he vomited blood, he still rode firmly on horseback.

On the other hand, Guan Hai is not so lucky! The huge force of the shock came, Guan Hai almost fell from the horse's back, fortunately this fight was extremely strong and reacted quickly, at the critical moment, his legs suddenly clamped the horse's belly so that he did not fall off the horse's back, however, his good luck also stopped there, the poor war horse was already overwhelmed, this will be so devastated by Guan Hai, and he couldn't hold on anymore, he screamed sadly, and fell to the ground with exhaustion.

Guan Hai's huge body was thrown far away, smashing to the ground with a loud bang.

The rogue onlookers on the side were stunned by this scene, they didn't know that Pei Yuanshao had vomited blood and was injured, but they only saw that Guan Hai was actually swept off the horse by Pei Yuanshao, isn't this a loss?

Pei Yuanshao finally relieved his breath, looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "Hahaha, old man, you also have today, happy, happy!" ”

Guan Hai rolled over from the ground and got up, and roared with a black face: "Don't count, don't count, rematch!" ”

Guan Hai was extremely depressed in his heart, last time he lost to Ma Yue because of the horse's stumbling hoof, and this time he actually lost to Pei Yuanshao because of the lack of horsepower.

"The eldest husband should take it and let it go, losing is losing, how can you not admit it?"

"It's not my help, it's really my mount that is overwhelmed, how about I change my mount?"

"No need to compare!"

Ma Yue snorted coldly and interrupted the dispute between the two, but his heart was awe-inspiring, a small horse pedal can really play an unimaginable role! If there was no horse's help, Pei Yuanshao would not have been able to sit on the horse's back safely, but he was afraid that he would have been swept away by Guan Hai a few feet away.

Who said you can't smash a big clay jar with a small stone?

A small pedal, a small horseshoe, is enough to help Ma Yue build a powerful iron horse that has never been seen before! At that time, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of rivers, are not allowed to come and go freely? Riding and plundering is like a safari, who can help him? When five years have passed, when Emperor Ling dies, the heroes rise together, and the world is in chaos, Ma Yue and his eight hundred rogues should come to an end, and they should live a good life.

However, all of this is based on He Jin's compromise and the real exchange of troops for He Zhen.

Ma Yue turned around and looked north, He Jin...... Will there be compromises? Although Ma Yue tried his best to fight for it, he still didn't know what the outcome would be. But even if he fails in the end, even if he can't form a cavalry, Ma Yue will never be discouraged, he will still take the 800 Liukou to the Central Plains and do everything he can - live well!

……

In the early morning, the loud horn sounded throughout the barracks, and the well-trained elite Han soldiers marched out of the camp in a group, lined up in the open space outside the camp, arrayed in the forest, and began every routine training. The miscellaneous servants who accompanied the army shuttled back and forth in the camp, busy making fires and cooking.

Hu Ben Zhonglang unexpectedly made Yuan Shu into an ordinary butler outfit, and appeared in front of the generals in light clothes.

All the generals were stunned, Yuan Shu smiled freely, and said to Sun Jian and Zhang Xun: "Wentai, Yimou, can you dare to ride to Wancheng with this general, and you will meet the eight hundred Liukou leader Ma Yue for a while?" ”

Sun Jian was brave and said: "Why don't you dare! ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly dissuaded: "How can the three armies have no generals, and the generals must not go to danger lightly." ”

Yuan Shu smiled indifferently and said: "It's okay, Ma Yue intends to have 2,000 military horses, and I will wait for the soldiers of General Qiao Xiang's family to go, so I don't have to worry about my surname." ”

Zhang Xun still persuaded himself: "The general can't help it." ”

Yuan Shu said awe-inspiringly: "I have made up my mind, don't say more." ”

Zhang Xun said helplessly: "In this way, the last general is willing to go." ”

Yuan Shu turned his anger into joy and said with a smile: "In this way, you can quickly bring your personal entourage and set off immediately." ”

Yuan Shu ordered the army to be stationed in Luyang temporarily, and he only led more than ten horsemen to leave the camp, with Sun Jian leading the four generals of Zu Mao, and Zhang Xun also selected more than ten strong soldiers to accompany him, and a group of dozens of people came in the direction of Wancheng.

When it was about to get dark, Yuan Shu and his entourage could enter the boundary of Bowang County, and when they were about to rest for a while, there was a sudden killing sound in front of them, and the ground shook and the mountains shook, and the smoke and dust rolled to see a cavalry of more than 200 people suddenly killed from the southern woods, and in an instant, they had rushed to the front, and surrounded Yuan Shu and his party in the center of dozens of cavalry.

Sun Jian's face sank, and he reached out to touch the weapon, but was stopped by Yuan Shu with a look, and the rest did not dare to move.

Although this cavalry is wearing Han army robes and armor, wearing Han army waist knives and bows and arrows, it is obviously not a Han cavalry, and the big man at the head has a face like the bottom of a pot, pitch black, tall and strong, and two long legs hang down from the horse's back and can almost tiptoe to the ground! The end is very majestic.

The black-faced man lowered the long knife in his hand, patted Yuan Shu's shoulder gently, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

Yuan Shu calmly responded: "The small one is He Xian, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion today, and the entourage is all the soldiers and generals of the General's Mansion." ”

The black-faced man said happily: "So, are you here to sacrifice a horse?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "Exactly, 2,000 military horses are already in Luyang, but you need to meet the old lady and the big horse leader first, and discuss the exchange matters in detail." ”

The black-faced big man smiled and showed Bai Sensen's teeth, and said, "Come with me." ”

……

In Wancheng Yizhuang, Zou Yuniang is helping Liu Yan prepare food.

Since ancient times, Zou Yuniang's fate is also miserable enough, first raped and used by Ma Yue, and then suspected by Qin Jie of fornicating with eight hundred liukou, Zou Jing expelled Zou Yuniang from the house in order to avoid trouble, poor Zou Yuniang and a woman, although she has learned a good martial arts, how can she bear so many hardships?

When Liu Yan asked Ma Yue for permission to rescue Zou Yuniang from the prison, the poor little lady had already gone on a hunger strike for several days and was dying.

At this time, the two seemed to talk about sadness again.

Liu Yan sighed and said: "Good sister, if you really talk about it, it's no wonder that Ma Yue, as the leader of the eight hundred Liukou, he has to think about the more than eight hundred brothers under his command at all times, so that his brothers have a chance to live, just like your brother resolutely expelled you from the house for the benefit of the Zou family, it is a reason." ”

Zou Yuniang sighed faintly and said in a low voice: "I know, so I don't hate him anymore, and I don't hate my eldest brother, everything is just fate, Yu Niang was born to bear these tribulations." ”

Liu Yan also sighed faintly, a trace of tenderness flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she couldn't say a word of comfort after all.
