Ma Chao said: "The impact of the Han Dynasty's rebellion through the Yellow Turban has long existed in name only, and instead of struggling to support the Sheji Building, it is like adding a fire to make him completely bankrupt." In this way, we can work together to create a new order and open a new chapter! ”

Dong Zhuo said: "How to join forces?" ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Dong Gong coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the tiger is in Xiliang, and the Guanzhong Division is subordinate to the region, so you can not interfere in your abolition, and the affairs of the court will also be as you like." But you can't meddle in the affairs of my state and Jizhou, I will only ask for the four northern states, and the land south of the Yellow River, how about letting Dong Zhuo do it? ”

Dong Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said with some disbelief: "It's that simple? ”

Ma Chao said: "Of course, if Dong Gong does not want to bear the infamy of bringing disaster to the country and the people, he can also lead his troops back to Xiliang and abolish the establishment by Ben Hou." At that time, Yi, Jing, Henan, Yang, Jiao, Liang six states, plus the land of Guanzhong will all belong to you, this candidate will only take the merger, Hebei, Yan, Xu, Qing, Youzhou six states plus Luoyang Hedong area, the world is just equally divided! ”

Dong Zhuo's mind was racing, and he carefully thought about Ma Chao's true intentions, but he found nothing, but in any case, there was no reason to let go of the fat that had already been obtained, and said: "That's not necessary, the old man has been planning this matter for a long time, and the ministers of the court and the central government all hate the old man to the core, how can he give up halfway?" The old man may agree to your request, but you must withdraw your troops immediately! ”

Ma Chao said with a smile: "Dong Gong is worthy of being a Xiliang man, refreshing!" But I have three small conditions, as long as Dong Gongken agrees, I will immediately and unconditionally withdraw the army from the Luoyang area. ”

"Let's hear it!"

Ma Chao said: "First, the princess of Wannian is the wife of the first emperor to Ben Hou, and this time she must rush back to Jizhou with Ben Hou to complete the marriage; Second, Liu Wei is the eldest son of the first emperor, you can not interfere in the abolition of the establishment, but you must not hurt their mother and son's surname, after all, the first emperor treated the candidate very favorably; Third, Dong Gong has no objection to whether the world's powerful families are co-opted or suppressed, but you must not condone your subordinates to kill the common people! ”

Dong Zhuo pondered for a while, and felt that these three conditions were not difficult. Princess Wannian has no use for it, just give it to him, as for Liu Wei and Queen He, as long as they are firmly controlled in their hands, they are not afraid of others causing trouble. As for the cruelty of the people, he didn't take it to heart, and asked his subordinates to only rob those rich households, and the common people didn't have much oil and water, that is, the matter of beating rabbits in grass buildings.

"Okay, the old man promised you these three requests, you first retreat back to Jizhou, and after a while, the old man will send the Wannian princess to Jizhou in the name of the imperial court. He Hou and Liu Wei will also be safe and sound, and the old man can ensure that their mother and son will be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. ”

Ma Chao stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, let's have a gentleman's agreement, I know in my heart that if Dong Gong breaches the contract, I will fight with you at any cost!" ”

Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "Champion Hou, don't worry, the old man has always been trustworthy, and he will not break his trust in you, in addition, your conditions have been agreed to by the old man, and in turn, the old man also has a condition!" ”

Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Dong Gong, please speak, within his ability, he will never shirk!" ”

Dong Zhuo scolded with a smile: "You thief is too deceitful, it's not that the old man can't trust you, it's just that the stakes are very high, in case the old man is stabbed in the back by you when he is trying his best to win the world, he will be crippled if he doesn't die." Therefore, in order to stubbornly maintain our alliance, you must marry the old man's granddaughter Dong Bai as his wife and concubine, and it must be announced to the world. ”

Ma Chao listened to it and scolded Dong Zhuo in his heart, if he agreed to marry, then in the eyes of the world, he Ma Chao and Dong Zhuo are the same dog. Dong Zhuo has done a lot of evil deeds, and he will also share the infamy, if he sends troops to attack Dong Zhuo in the future, he will also be infamous for being unfilial and unjust. This thing can't be done even if you are killed, and looking at Dong Fatpang's figure, his granddaughter is not very beautiful, and she will keep it for Sun Ce in the future!

After thinking about it, he said with a little embarrassment: "This matter is not very good!" Ben Hou is just 14 years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age of marriage, so why don't you mention this matter in two years! Ma Chao couldn't refuse, so he could only postpone it with procrastination.

Dong Zhuo said disappreciably: "Then what's the matter? When today's son is the same year as you, but he got married at the age of twelve, your Ma family is also a noble family in the world, and it is too normal to get married before the weak crown! Could it be that the champion Hou can't look down on the granddaughter of the old man? It doesn't hurt to tell you the truth, the old man lost his son in his early years, leaving only a daughter, although it is not called a country and a city, but it is also a rare beauty. ”

Ma Chao's mind was racing, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Thanks to Dong Gong's favor, if Ben Hou doesn't agree, it will be too insincere. ”

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, from engagement to marriage, the longer the time, the higher the grade, one year is a gift from the Son of Heaven, haha smiled: "This matter is so decided, then do we still fight this battle?" ”

Ma Chao said: "Naturally, you have to fight, you always have to go through the scene, it's better to fight a military general first, and then the armies of both sides will pretend to fight, and finally this is supposed to pretend to be defeated and retreat, Mingjin will withdraw the troops, and then return to Jizhou on the grounds of defeat and lack of food and grass!" ”

Dong Zhuoxi said: "Okay, this is exactly what I want!" ”

The two of them returned to their own camps, and this secret conversation was naturally only known to the two of them. Ma Chao believed that after this secret talk, Dong Zhuo would be more unscrupulous in causing trouble to the Han family, and after the battle between the princes against Dong, the Han family was basically dying. If Dong Zhuo can abolish Liu Xie and proclaim himself emperor, wouldn't the world be more interesting? As for the excuse to attack Dong Zhuo, there are too many excuses to attack Dong Zhuo, the Xiliang army and the Qiang soldiers under his command are all brutal people, and they are not something he can restrain at all, as long as these Qiang soldiers kill the people, he will have an excuse to tear up the alliance and send troops to fight Dong.

However, it was said that Dong Zhuo immediately sent Hua Xiong out of the formation after returning to the formation, Ma Chao showed weakness, and did not want to be too showy, so he sent Dian Wei to fight at the moment, and he was not allowed to win if he was defeated. Dian Wei didn't dare to disobey the order, brandished a pair of big iron halberds and stepped forward to stand with Hua Xiong, and after twenty or thirty battles, he was defeated and returned to his own formation. ”

Hua Xiong didn't know why, he was very proud, running back and forth on the field, showing off his might.

Huang Zhong on the side couldn't see it, and hugged his fists and said: "The last general asks for battle, and I am willing to behead Huaxiong to boost the prestige of our army!" ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to go to war with Dong Zhuo with all his might, I was going to show weakness, so I let Lao Dian deliberately retreat." Hansheng's martial arts are superb, and he will be useful in the future, so he might as well cheat and defeat now, so that Dong Zhuo thinks that there is no general under his command! ”

Huang Zhong was relieved, hugged his fists and said: "Dare not obey your fate!" The last will come when he goes! After that, the horse went straight to Huaxiong with a knife, and the two of them killed each other after reporting their names, and within thirty times, Huang Zhong feinted defeat and returned to the main formation.

Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun, who was about to move, and suddenly asked: "Zilong has already fought with Lu Bu, no matter how difficult it is to hide his edge, then Lu Bu is known as the number one military general in the world, are you willing to go out to try his depth?" ”

Zhao Yun was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said: "The last general has this intention!" ”

Ma Chao said: "Okay, the famous general ordered you to fight immediately, as long as you kill Hua Xiong, Lu Bu will go out of the horse, remember not to hurt Hua Xiong's surname, this will have another meaning!" ”

"Obey!" Zhao Yun knocked his feet on the stirrups, and the jade lion jumped out quickly, shouting in his mouth: "Huaxiong is rampant, Changshan Zhao Zilong came to meet you!" ”

Hua Xiong had never heard of Zhao Yun's name, and said disdainfully: "No name dares to come and send him to death!" Ben will do you today! After that, the slapping horse and dancing knife came up, and the wind mouth knife in his hand slashed directly at the top of Zhao Yun's head!

Zhao Yun's body was slightly on one side, raising his gun and stabbing continuously, only to hear the three crisp sounds of "Ding Ding Ding", and the long knife immediately changed direction and slashed into the air. Another shot went straight to Hua Xiong's throat, but it was broken by the knife and failed to make a contribution.

The two horses staggered, each with its own offense and defense, on the surface it was an equal game, but Hua Xiong felt a huge pressure, and this pressure was only experienced when he was fighting against Yan Liang.

The two turned their horses to fight again, only to see that the speed of the gentian bright silver spear in Zhao Yun's hand suddenly accelerated nearly doubled, and the two horses staggered seven shots in a row. Hua Xiong didn't dare to be distracted, and although he blocked all the lightning-fast seven shots, he completely fell into disadvantage.

In the third battle, Zhao Yun was faster, and the gentian bright silver spear flew up and down, bringing up a ball of silver light. Huaxiong was difficult to support left and right, and tried his best not to lose, but he also lost the opportunity and had no room to fight back.

After more than ten rounds like this, the gentian gun in Zhao Yun's hand became faster and faster, and the whistling sound brought by the spear was faintly connected. Hua Xiongzhi was so frightened that he accidentally stabbed a shot in his left arm, and the bones were visible and blood flowed! With a scream, he turned his horse and left, not even the long knife that fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhao Yun's great victory, the state army immediately beat the war drums, and the shouts shook the sky and boosted their morale.

When Lu Bu saw that Zhao Yun was out of the horse, the war spirit sprouted in his heart, and he was about to ask for battle, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu took the first step and said: "Lord Qi, Zhang Xiu invites war!" I hope the lord will allow it! ”

Dong Zhuoxi said: "With the 'Northland Gun King' out of the horse, he will definitely be able to capture it!" You're ready to fight! ”

"Thank you, my lord!" Zhang Xiu saw Zhao Yun's marksmanship and one of his own routines, and he was full of doubts in his heart, so he rushed to fight first, the purpose was to find out Zhao Yun's details.

"Northland Zhang embroidery! Please advise! ”

"Changshan Zhaoyun, I've been waiting for a long time!"

After the two announced their names, they stopped answering, and fought in one place. Less than ten times they fought, and both of them were surprised in their hearts. When Zhao Yun went down the mountain, Tong Yuan had mentioned that he had two senior brothers, but he did not say the specific names, and at this moment, he saw that Zhang Xiu's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear was exactly the same as himself, but the fire was slightly insufficient, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

The two of them are fast and fast, all of them are skill-based generals, and in the blink of an eye, they fought thirty times, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while, although Zhao Yun had a slight upper hand, but if he wanted to win, he was afraid that he would have to do it outside the lily.
