Chapter Twenty-Eight: The End of the Hero

Once upon a time, Jin Ma Chao, who was famous in the northwest, did not expect that he would have a desperate day. Pen fun Pavilion www.biquge.info// update fast //

The hand holding the tiger's head Zhan golden gun was a little weak, his bloodstained body was obviously exhausted, and the handsome and heroic face showed a decadent expression.

Ma Chao came to the outside of Chang'an City with less than two thousand remnants of defeated soldiers.

In front of him is the increasingly prosperous Western Capital of the Han Dynasty, and the current owner is Guo Jia, who was born penniless more than ten years ago.

One is not much older than Ma Chao, the other is not more prominent than Ma Chao, and the other is not a man with a higher force value than Ma Chao.

Now, under the bright sunshine, Ma Chao has to whisper to the city gate, hoping to get Guo Jia's benevolent acceptance and assistance.

The city gate order did not dare to be careless, although Ma Chao did not have the courage to enter the city directly with soldiers and horses, but he still asked the defenders patrolling the city to strictly prevent Ma Chao from making trouble, and quickly sent someone to inform Guo Jia, after a while, on the main road in the center of the three gates in the east of the city, Gan Ning rode a horse and came to the city gate with a thousand cavalry.

Seeing this down-and-out Ma Chao with a disgraced look, it was hard for Gan Ning to imagine that this was Xu Chu's unruly and daring Jin Ma Chao who dared to be presumptuous in front of Guo Jia.

"General, my lord said that the general can enter the city, but the accompanying soldiers must be stationed outside the city, and those who are injured can enter the city for treatment, daily needs, my lord's guild will make comprehensive arrangements for the general, I hope the general can understand, my lord does this because he does not want to cause panic and riots among the people in the city."

Chang'an City belongs to Guo Jia, can Ma Chao enter, Guo Jia said, according to Ma Chao's current situation, he has no room for bargaining at all, not to mention turning his head and looking at his remnants of the defeated generals, most of them are bloodstained, if he really enters the city, it will definitely cause onlookers, as for whether it scares the people or embarrasses, that is another matter.

Gan Ning's tone did not fall into the well, nor did he have condescending contempt, just indifference.

If it was Gan Ning, who was chivalrous and righteous in Ba County fifteen years ago, most of them would be like-minded with Ma Chao, but now Gan Ning, even if he can't beat Ma Chao, he will not have admiration for Ma Chao, just look at his unbearable appearance now, Gan Ning is very pleased that he met Guo Jia on the road of life.

"Make you benevolent and righteous, and be grateful."

Ma Chao was a little lifeless when he spoke at this time, he could be empty-eyed, he could think that he was invincible in the world, but the fact in front of him was that he couldn't even prevent Han Sui, an old horseman.

changed Guo Jia to look at the strength of Ma Chao and Han Sui, obviously Han Sui is better, when the soldiers and horses are equal, Han Sui is already an old man, Guo Jia must be cautious in front of Han Sui, there is a good saying, old and not dead is a thief.

did not allow Ma Chao to lead the army into the city, the reason in Gan Ning's mouth belonged to high-sounding rhetoric, in fact, Guo Jia was also guarding against Ma Chao.

Han Sui suddenly attacked Ma Chao, and it was pouring out, even if Guo Jia has been staring at the situation in the northwest, the specific information will be a few days late, what Ma Chao said in the mouth of the party, Guo Jia listened to it, it should be guarded against, in case Ma Chao and Han Sui are not compatible on the surface, and they are embarrassed behind their backs to plot Chang'an, Guo Jia can put his heart into his own people, how can he keep a hand on outsiders, don't look at Ma Chao with less than 2,000 soldiers, in case of a real outbreak, with Ma Chao's bravery, It is not a problem to take 2,000 soldiers to occupy the city gate to support it for an hour or two, and if Han Sui leads a large army to drive straight in at that time, Guo Jia will definitely be fine, but Chang'an, which has just recovered a little bit of prosperity, will be in great trouble.

Ma Chao turned the horse's head in a depressed spirit, separated some of the wounded soldiers who had to be treated as soon as possible, and followed him into the city, as for many lightly injured soldiers, Ma Chao did not bring them, even at this time, he also wanted to retain some dignity, and did not want more wounded soldiers to enter Chang'an and become a laughing stock.

Guo Jia didn't go out of the city to greet him, it wasn't to give Ma Chao a horse, he just hoped that Ma Chao could see the reality clearly, and he didn't need to put up a fight to make things difficult for Ma Chao at this time, so he stood outside the gate of the mansion to greet Ma Chao.

Standing next to Guo Jia was Xu Shu, who, like Guo Jia, put on a slightly sad look.

The embarrassed Ma Chao followed Gan Ning to Guo Jia, and before he could speak, Guo Jia stepped forward with concern and asked: "Meng Qi can be safe and sound, it is really a great luck in misfortune." Didn't get hurt, right? ”

Ma Chao bowed his head and was silent, gritting his teeth.

Perhaps, he is not accustomed to this kind of concern from others, or perhaps he understands this greeting as pity.

With a long sigh, Guo Jia said with some amazement: "I didn't expect Han Wenyue to be treacherous, if Brother Shoucheng is still alive, he will definitely be heartbroken." ”

"That dog thief!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and scolded angrily, and the foaming stars flew out, spraying on the front of Guo Jiajin's robe.

Realizing that he was rude, Ma Chao bowed his hand to Guo Jiayi in a sullen voice and said: "I have no intention of colliding with the envoy, please bear with me." ”

Guo Jia waved his hand indifferently and said, "Meng Qi's current mood, I understand. ”

Does he really understand?

Ma Chao himself thinks that this kind of posture of a lost dog is very cowardly, how can Guo Jia understand?

"Han Sui, that dog thief, took advantage of my unpreparedness to attack Jincheng, and dared to ask the envoy to help, first, to relieve the siege of Jincheng, and secondly, to get rid of Han Sui, the evil thief, for the people of Liangzhou."

Ma Chao never looked at Guo Jia, and he didn't know if his pride was causing him to raise his head in front of Guo Jia, or if he felt that this kind of opening his mouth to ask for help was really difficult to say, anyway, the majestic Jin Ma Chao in the past is now in a state of embarrassment at the end of a hero.

A war needs a name, and Guo Jia wants to meddle in the grievances of the two Koreans, but in fact, he has no name.

Everyone is Hanchen, why should Guo Jia care about the dispute between Han Sui and Ma Chao?

Ma Chao, who was full of resentment, at least had a bit of a brain at this time, and knew that he couldn't ask Guo Jia to send troops for no reason, so he invisibly deducted a high hat for Guo Jia.

first said that Han Sui was a thief, and asked Guo Jia to send troops to suppress the thief and return the peace in the northwest, this is for the common people and the people, not for the personal grievances of the Ma family.

Guo Jia really wanted to say a word in front of Ma Chao: When is the time for retribution!

Since the rebellion of Han Sui and the uprising of Ma Teng, the grievances and entanglements between the two families have never stopped.

From today, it is difficult to judge the right and wrong of the two families, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

Before Han Sui attacked Ma Chao, Ma Chao withheld Han Sui's grain, which was forcing Han Sui to a dead end, since you didn't give me a way to live, then don't blame me for putting you to death.

Before that, Ma Chao wanted to follow Guo Jia out of the east of the country, and Han Sui intended to annex Ma Chao's territory, the knife behind this was stabbed above board, but he couldn't complain about Han Sui, Ma Chao was going to fight the Central Plains, no matter how you look at it, it was a situation where there was no return.

Dating back to the Ma Teng era, although the Han and Ma families have a relationship with brothers with different surnames, there have also been a series of life-and-death fights, Han Sui has a lot of blood of the Ma family on his hands, and Ma Teng and Han Sui have conflicts, and they are related to many Qianghu tribes, too many intricate conflicts of interest are mixed in, and it is not clear who is right and who is wrong.

Therefore, Ma Chao hopes that Guo Jia will send troops to exterminate Han Sui, and it is impossible to use the grudge between Han and Ma to make a statement, as a Ma family, Ma Chao himself may not be able to figure out the causes and consequences of the grievances and hatred of these two families.

Faced with Ma Chao's request, Guo Jia was silent for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I heard that Han Sui slaughtered many counties, and such a large-scale killing will hurt Tianhe, no matter what, the people are innocent." Meng Qi, I am here to promise you that within three days, I will send troops to rescue Jincheng, and then at least drive Han Sui out of your territory. ”

Ma Chao said in a dull voice and disappeared.

After all, fighting a war is not a child's play, and the weight of food and grass, task allocation, marching routes, troop collocation, etc., all require time scheduling and preparation.

"I have prepared a place for Meng Qi in the city, Meng Qi will use it as a temporary shelter, and after the siege of Jincheng is lifted, you can return by yourself."

Guo Jia arranged it very thoroughly, and he had already made preparations for military operations, but he couldn't put on a posture of being ready in front of Ma Chao, as if he had been waiting for Han and Ma to go to war.

Turning around and preparing to walk towards the mansion, Guo Jia turned his head and said to Xu Shu: "Send an edict to the counties in Guanzhong, but if there are people who have fled, they must be treated kindly, and if there is a shortage of money and grain in the county, it can be reported to Chang'an for dispatch and transportation." ”

There is a difference between Han Sui's slaughter of the city and Cao Cao's slaughter of the city, Cao Cao is more to deter the enemy, Han Sui is to rob the grain, if he does not slaughter the city, then it is likely to provoke the people to oppose him, he is a rebel, and he will not underestimate the energy gathered by ordinary people, after all, the people have been robbed of grain, what choice can they have? Either fight with Han Sui, or wait to starve to death, or flee to Guanzhong to beg.

had already stepped up the stone steps outside the mansion gate, Guo Jia suddenly turned around and stopped Ma Chao.

"Meng Qi, why didn't you see Ling Ming, is he outside the city? Or is it injured? ”

Guo Jia felt that something was wrong when he saw Ma Chao for the first time, and it wasn't until just now that he realized that there was no one around Ma Chao, where did Pang De go?

When Ma Chao heard this, his head hung deeper.

He said inaudibly: "Ling Ming is seriously ill and difficult to get out of bed, and when he broke through from Jincheng, Ling Ming was still in the city. ”

Guo Jia's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What do you say? Did you leave Ling Ming in Jincheng? Don't you care if he lives or dies? ”

Guo Jia suddenly had an angry expression.

Ma Chao was a little embarrassed and a little annoyed.

He broke through with his pockets, can he still bring a Pound who can't even get out of bed? What's more, Pound is his subordinate, and it is not Guo Jia's turn to deal with it!

But at this time, Ma Chao didn't dare to confront Guo Jia confidently, Guo Jia now not only has the right to choose whether to kill Han Sui or not, he even holds Ma Chao's life in his hands, Ma Chao, who is not a soldier or a pawn, no matter how strong he is, he can't go against the sky.

"Xingba, immediately mobilize the Yinling Flying Cavalry, and after half an hour, I will lead the cavalry to Jincheng!"
