Chapter 72: Heroes (3)
Ma Chao came directly to the place three feet in front of Le Jin, hung up the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd and hugged his fists and said: "Wen Qian is heroic and extraordinary, which is respectful, and Xiliang Ma is super polite!" ”
Le Jin was flattered, he was just a flat-headed commoner, Ma Chao's identity was too big, the general of Zhengbei, the champion Hou, and the horse of the dynasty, it was impossible to take out any of them, not to mention the combination of three identities in one. He also hugged his fists and saluted back: "Le Jin, the word Wenqian, Jizhou Yangping people's clan, I have heard the name of the champion Hou for a long time, and I said that I saw it as if I was outstanding, and I heard that the champion Hou was going to send troops to recruit the Black Mountain thieves, I don't know if there is such a thing!" ”
Ma Chao said: "Yes, although the Montenegrin thieves are composed of poor people, they do not produce, they make a living by attacking counties and robbing families, and they have repeatedly caused military disasters, and the people of Hebei and Hebei have also suffered from it. ”
Le Jin nodded, frowned and asked, "But I don't know what the general is going to do with these Black Mountain thieves?" As far as Jin knows, the black mountain thieves of Zhang Yan and others occupy the entire Taihang Mountains, starting from Leping in the north and reaching Hanoi in the south, there is Huguan, the east and west are divided and the two states of Hebei are divided, the north and south span is thousands of miles, and the number of people is known as million! ”
Ma Chao sighed: "Those who gather a crowd of rebels should be punished according to the law, but the law does not blame the public, how can Chao bear to kill millions of people?" As long as they are guaranteed to have land to cultivate, food to eat, and clothes to wear, who wants to go into the mountains as thieves? ”
"The general is merciful!" Le Jin gave a deep salute and said with admiration on his face: "I heard that the Xiliang army broke through the Southern Xiongnu and conquered Wuheng, and the women and children were killed everywhere they passed and never left alive. ”
Ma Chao said: "It's not that the rumors are wrong, the general did order a big killing, but the people killed are all northern aliens, as the saying goes: If you are not my race, your heart will be different, and the northern alien race has harassed my Han border for many years, plundering countless women and food, and it is really a jackal!" Therefore, I would have repaid the favor with the other way and slaughtered them on a large scale, otherwise once they were given a chance to breathe, I am afraid that it will be my Han people who will be slaughtered in the future. ”
"And the people of the Han Dynasty are not, they are both descendants of Yan and Huang, and they have always been regarded as brothers and sisters, and they are not too late to love, how can they be in the same room? I have had three major aspirations since I was a child: one wishing that the world would be peaceful, that the soldiers would not be able to afford it, that the country and the people would be safe, and that the people would have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment; Second, I hope that the Han Dynasty will rise, set foot in the north and south of the desert, conquer the Western Regions, and build an immortal dynasty; Three wishes that everyone in the world is equal, everyone learns, everyone has something to do, there are books to read, there is medical treatment when sick, and help can be obtained when there is difficulty. ”
Le Jin was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and it took a long time before he came to his senses, and said excitedly: "The general is really benevolent!" Although he is a martial artist, he still has the strength to be conceited, and he is willing to help the general complete these three wishes, and please take the general in! ”
Ma Chao is overjoyed, but this kind of occasion can't be accepted in public, otherwise there will be a suspicion of trespassing. The sound of the conversation between the two is not loud, and there are still many people around who can hear it, in case it reaches the ears of the Spirit Emperor, and then after the distortion of someone with a heart, this matter is very easy to arouse the vigilance of the Spirit Emperor. Although the Spirit Emperor can't do anything to himself, he can be careful not to reuse it everywhere, so all his arrangements will be in vain.
At the moment, he said: "With Wenqian's help, why worry about big things?" But this hero is set up by the Son of Heaven, if Wen Qian can defeat the halberd in the hands of this candidate, he can serve the Son of Heaven and become a general, and the same palace is a minister, and he can also help Ben Hou complete these three wishes. ”
Le Jin is not a stupid person, he knows that he is anxious, and said humbly: "But it is reckless to enter, even so, please ask the champion Hou to teach!" We will do our best! ”
Ma Chao laughed and said: "That's right, don't think that Chao has no courage at a young age, Wen Qian be careful!" After saying that, the horse retreated more than fifty steps, and the two of them opened their formation and prepared to start.
Not far from the downwind of the two, a middle-aged man with a body length of more than eight feet, tall and burly, with a rough face and a short beard, was also paying attention to this ultimate challenge, this person was Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, who hurried from Nanyang. People who practice martial arts have far more senses than ordinary people, Huang Zhong naturally listened to the conversation between the two just now, and secretly admired Ma Chao!
Almost at the same time, the two of them knocked on the horse's belly, raised their weapons and launched a charge. Ma Chao was full of confidence, but he didn't want to expose all his strength, and he wielded the one hundred and twenty-nine pounds of Tianlong City Breaking Halberd to split Huashan with one move, and this blow used eighty percent of his strength.
Le Jin yelled: "Good time! "With the strength of the force, the body deviated, and with enough strength, he slashed the knife to meet him.
"Bell!" With a crisp sound, the two weapons intersected and sparks flew out, and the sharp axe blade of the long halberd immediately broke a gap in the long knife. Le Jin's arms were numb, his body shook twice, and the big knife almost got out of his hand, but no matter what, he finally got rid of this ferocious blow without danger.
In the first round of competition, Ma Chao won completely. In fact, his strength is not much greater than that of Lejin, and he mainly takes advantage of the heavy weapons and fast horses. In the era of cold weapons, the role of war horses and weapons and armor must not be ignored, just like the equipment in modern online games, the characters have good surnames, and the equipment garbage is also in vain.
Le Jin was secretly frightened, he didn't expect Ma Chao to have such strength, although he didn't do his best, but the power of that halberd was too terrifying. At the moment, I no longer dare to have a heart of contempt, shake my spirit, and go all out to fight.
Ma Chao's palms were also numb, and he was happy to enter the secret way, and he attacked it by using the family heirloom halberd method. This set of halberd method is created by Ma Yuan according to the Tianlong Breaking City Halberd, not to mention the combination of rigidity and softness, it can also give full play to the power of the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd, which belongs to the kind of routine that becomes stronger and stronger in the war. Just like the waves of the long river, wave after wave, if the opponent can't crack it, the pressure on itself will become greater and greater, until it breaks through the critical point and loses!
The first dozen and two people can still be evenly divided, but after twenty in one, Le Jin will gradually fall into disadvantage, and the defeat will become more and more obvious, and Ma Chao still uses eighty percent of his strength.
Lejin has words of suffering, and secretly scolds Ma Chao freak! The fine iron long knife in his hand had turned into a long saw at this time, and the numbness in his arms could not be relieved at all, and every time the weapons intersected, it would be aggravated, and his chest was also faintly painful.
Persisted like this for nearly forty rounds, Le Jin's arms could no longer be raised, and the broken long knife also flew out of his hand, panting constantly on the horse.
Ma Chao's forehead also broke out with a slight sweat, and he hung up the halberd and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Wen Qian has conceded, Chaoshi has taken advantage of the weapon, this halberd is the Heavenly Dragon Broken City Halberd of the Overlord of Western Chu back then, weighing one hundred and twenty-nine pounds, Brother Wen Qian can't resist it is not incompetent, but it is actually because the weapon is unfavorable!" ”
"I see!" Le Jin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The general's divine power is admired!" If you don't have the strength, how can you wield the 'ghosts'? If you don't lose or lose, beware of taking it orally! ”
Ma Chao said: "Wen Qian doesn't have to be discouraged, although he can't enter the court as a general this time, but he will only let you show your talent under this command, and you will be prosperous and rich in the future, and you will be crowned with a wife and a son, and your name will go down in history. This time to conquer the Black Mountain thieves, you still need to rely on Wen Qian! ”
Lejin is overjoyed, the benefits of taking refuge in Ma Chao are far greater than those of the Han court, which exists in name only, how can he not know this truth? He hugged his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you for the general's suggestion, Jin will definitely fight to the death for the general!" ”
accidentally accepted Lejin, Brother Xiao Ma was also overjoyed, plus Zhang Liao, Cao Apu's five good generals have been poached. And Zhang He is a native of Jizhou, Xu Huang is a native of Hedong, and he went to Taihang Mountain to exterminate the Black Mountain thieves just by the way, but it is not easy to find it in the ban.
After arranging Lejin, Brother Xiao Ma rode his horse to the high platform, hugged his fists and saluted: "Super live up to expectations, a small victory!" Le Jin is a person from Jizhou, quite brave, has joined my command as a general, the last general to crusade against the Black Mountain thieves is in need of such a local general who is familiar with the terrain, and I hope that Your Majesty will approve it! ”
Emperor Ling nodded, and said: "Champion Hou is loyal to the country, his heart is commendable, and the conquest of the Black Mountain Thieves is also to serve my Han, and I have no reason to allow it!" However, General Ma bravely crowned the three armies, this competition really opened my eyes with the hundred officials, if I can remain undefeated for three times, I will definitely have another reward! ”
Ma Chao didn't even dare to say it, but He Jin, Yuan Shu and others were full of jealousy. Especially Yuan Shu, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and as soon as Chun Yuqiong was defeated, he basically had no chance with the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan. He Jin also lost a powerful arm, and then looked at the high-spirited Ma Chao, and a hatred suddenly rose in his heart.
The ancients generally had two meals per day, and there was still an endless stream of applicants on both sides of the venue, and Emperor Ling's interest was strong, and he had no intention of leaving. Tongbaiguan went back to the West Garden to rest for an hour, and after using snacks, he returned to the stage to watch the battle, and the emperor ordered people to fill the hourglass, and the hero continued.
Brother Xiao Ma took off his armor and sat on the stage to rest and watch the battle next to Ding Yuan. The giant hourglass could flow for less than two hours, or four hours, enough for him to rest.
The ring in the afternoon was the same as in the morning, all the rookies who came up at the beginning were still okay to entertain the audience, but Brother Xiao Ma couldn't lift the slightest spirit. However, if these people are pro-soldiers, they are the strongest soldiers in the world! How much can be summoned depends on Meng Da's ability.
At the same time, Ma Chao is not worried that someone will compete with him for talents, He Jinquan has been in the world for several years, and the people who want to defect to him have already defected, and they will not wait until now. Those present such as Liu Yan, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Cao Ying, Yuan Shao and others were either officials in the court, or they were white, and even they didn't know that they would become a prince in the near future, let alone outsiders?
In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and people had come up and down one after another, until a strong man appeared, and this phenomenon was not stopped. This person is more than eight feet long, with a majestic face, holding a long knife, although he is wearing cloth clothes, he does not hide his flaws, and he has a majestic style, which makes people dare not look directly! There are a few people who are not able to do their best to challenge, but no one is the enemy of one, and a few people will be eliminated with a few swings of the big knife, and they are unstoppable! This person is Nanyang Huang Hansheng, who came to earn medical resources for his only son.
