Chapter 927: Under the Ancient City of Oath
"Gotta ......"
The battlefield of tens of thousands of people suddenly became silent, only the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and only the smoke and dust from the horses' hooves were rapidly approaching!
Huang Ze's hand had already been raised above his head, and he was stared at by tens of thousands of eyes, just waiting for his hand to swing down, countless feather arrows would come out of the string, completely blocking the space of two hundred steps in front of the formation!
On the other side, Ma Dai's hand also slowly raised. Although he prefers peace talks, if Ma Chao really intends to make a last stand, he can't stand by it.
Liang Xing's troops were far away, and it was definitely too late to do anything, so they could only hold their breath and wait.
Although they have made a choice, they still regard themselves as Xiliang people, and they are proud of the heroes of Xiliang, if Ma Chao can get the opportunity to face off against the world-famous hussar general, even if he dies in battle, he can't talk about grievances. To be precise, such a way of dying is the most suitable for Ma Chao.
Facing the Ma Chao brothers and sisters who galloped one after the other, Wang Yu looked extremely calm. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, he held the reins in one hand, controlled the war horse to maintain the original speed, and raised his other hand slightly, and his five fingers were spread!
"Sister Lu, it's me, I'm Xiao Wu!" No matter how heartless Ma Yunluo was, seeing this tense formation, he also realized that he was in trouble, and hurriedly shouted loudly, indicating his identity and intention, hoping to stop this fight.
But it seems that her efforts are going to be in vain, the moment she saw Wang Yu's gesture, Ma Chao's muscles were already tensed, and the horse's speed also increased suddenly, like a red lightning, rushing towards Wang Yu with lightning speed!
Ma Dai guessed correctly, when Ma Chao made an appointment to meet Wang Yu, he didn't have a definite plan, he just followed the instinctive choice, and what to do could only be improvised.
Of course, it is very dangerous to do this, but the soldiers are in danger, and the moment they carry their guns into battle, life and death should be put aside. Back then, Wang Yu fought against Hu Zhen and Niu Fu under the Tiger Prison, if he was also concerned about danger and his mind was full of things like retreat, could he still create a miracle of luring the enemy with a single horse and winning more with less?
In the chaos last night, Ma Chao's biggest realization was not to see through the essence of the Qiang people, but to accurately position himself and put himself in a weak position to consider the problem, instead of being entangled in the strong position not long ago and unable to get rid of it.
Therefore, after finding out that his sister was in a situation, he rushed forward without hesitation.
Although he knew that the road ahead was life-and-death, first through a barrier made of thousands of crossbows, and then a desperate fight against three enemies, he did it anyway.
He hoped that with the help of his sister's cry, Wang Yu would hesitate for a moment, and then take the opportunity to rush to the front, so that the Qingzhou army would throw a mouse trap, and the bow and crossbow would not have room to play.
It seemed that Wang Yu was indeed affected, and his raised hand was so wide open, with no intention of clenching his fist or falling. Ma Chao was ecstatic in his heart, the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was just around the corner!
He stared at the three people opposite, his mind racing. He has not taken any of these three people, but his identity can be analyzed from the intelligence.
The military general on the right hand who is holding a long-handled axe and looks like a scribe should be Xu Huang, the chief general of the Taishan Army, and there are many generals who make the big axe, but the contrast is so big, and the highest reputation is only Xu Huang.
The military general on the left hand hand was wrapped in crimson iron armor all over, and even wore a mask on his face. But this is not difficult for Ma Chao, the iron cavalry of the Qingzhou Army is dressed like this, not to mention that the other party still holds a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, who else can he be besides Lu Qiling, the main general of the Fire Army?
These two people's martial arts are also good, but they are still slightly inferior to Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who have fought several battles with him, if he is willing to fight for his life, there is no chance of success.
Analyzing it in his heart, Ma Chao's body has begun to act.
On the surface, he held the reins in his left hand and a gun in his right, raising the speed of the war horse to the extreme. In fact, his left hand was only holding the reins in vain, and with the cover of the war horse, his hand had already held a halberd! He controls the horse purely with his feet, and the power of the war horse is also reserved, and it seems to be a straight line, but in fact, it can accelerate or change direction at any time.
The distance of thirty steps passed in an instant, and seeing that he was about to enter the distance of hand-to-hand combat, the person wearing black armor on the opposite side and suspected of being Wang Yu suddenly laughed!
The smile is very abrupt and strange, and the wonder is difficult to describe in words, in short, Ma Chao feels like he was naughty when he was a child, playing pranks on his elders, and the feeling of being recognized as a result.
No matter how clever the naughty boy's prank is, it is just child's play for the elders, and it can be seen through at a glance, and it doesn't hinder much, most of them are tolerant and laugh away. The young man on the other side who looked about the same age as himself was smiling like this!
Ma Chao noticed that at the same time as Wang Yu smiled, the tense Qingzhou army actually put down the bow and crossbow in his hand in unison, and the tense face and murderous aura on his body disappeared. It was as if he suddenly discovered that it was not Ma Mengqi, who was riding over, but Ma Mengqi, who was the first fierce general in Xiliang, but a naughty boy who had not grown up.
And Lu Qiling and Xu Huang, who were guarding Wang Yu's left and right, didn't make any new moves, just watched themselves approach quickly, not caring at all, the danger contained in this.
Ma Chao felt very dazed.
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, he would rather face the attack of ten thousand arrows and the two generals Lu and Xu than face such a scene. The former situation would make his blood boil and fight with all his might, but now it just makes him feel uncertain and don't know how to deal with it.
He didn't want to admit it from the bottom of his heart, but he had to say that Wang Yu's inaction evoked painful memories for him. In the big battle a few days ago, didn't he also muster up all his strength many times, rushing and beating violently, but each time he fell into the trap set by the enemy, and finally was disgraced and embarrassed?
Do you continue to rush forward and fight hard, or do you want to see the situation first? Ma Chao was a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, Wang Yu suddenly laughed loudly and said: "Although tens of millions of people have gone to me, Meng Qixian's brother is brave, admire, admire!" ”
"Appeal ......"
As if he was shocked by Wang Yu, Ma Chao suddenly stopped the horse and stared at Wang Yu, full of ferocity. After a long time, he sneered and said, "Don't dare to do this!" However, the hussar general was clever and scheming, even if it was Huo Hussar back then, he could only be stunned and out of reach. ”
Ma Chao was also scared, and he couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Wang Yu's gourd. Of course, he would not have imagined that Wang Yu might just be playing tricks and hiding from the world, but his martial arts and art of war are the most important momentum, and the thoughts in his heart are mixed, and the momentum will suddenly weaken, even if he reluctantly rushes up, he can't exert the strongest combat power, so he can only simply stop and watch.
"Brother Xian has won the award, Huo Biyao is such a hero, in fact, Brother Fool can compare with this little ability? Ashamed, ashamed. Ma Chao said that he didn't dare to take it seriously, not for Wang Yu's praise, but for the title of the virtuous brother, but Wang Yu seemed to have suddenly become sluggish, so he didn't pay attention to these at all, and climbed up the pole.
"Wang Huqi is responsible for the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of opportunities in the day, so he will not just say these empty words, right?" Ma Chao doesn't plan to keep Wang Yu and going around in circles, he has heard of Wang Yu's eloquence, that is the person who can squeeze Yuan Shao in person, how can he be an opponent?
"Hmm......" Wang Yu froze slightly, raised his eyes to look at Ma Chao, his eyes were a little playful, but his tone was very innocent: "Brother Meng Qixian's words are bad, the foolish brother is obviously invited, it should be that the virtuous brother has something to say to me, right?" ”
"Uh......" Ma Chao was also stunned, Wang Yu was right, it was indeed he who invited him first, but he didn't expect this situation at all.
According to his expectations, Wang Yu is either afraid of death and does not dare to come out, then even if he loses this battle, his momentum wins, as long as he can fight his way out of the encirclement, it will not be difficult to make a comeback. If Wang Yu came out, he would definitely have to do it. As for negotiation or something, that's just the second brother's proposition, even if he wants to negotiate, he shouldn't come forward by himself.
He wanted to laugh three times and laugh at himself. This time, he was forced to be at a disadvantage again, from the beginning of the opponent's battle, the initiative changed hands, and even the accident was used by the other party seamlessly, what else is there to say?
After thinking for a while, Ma Chao organized the words and said coldly: "I just want to ask, what are the plans of Zunjia to chase after the three brothers and sisters?" ”
If it weren't for the last resort, Ma Chao would definitely not speak like this, because it was too much like showing weakness. But he can't help it if he doesn't say that, he can't tell the truth, right?
This question is not easy to answer, Wang Yu's purpose is to subdue Ma Chao through negotiations. But Ma Chao refused to give in, now he is just blocked by his momentum, and he can't fight with all his might, if this question is not answered well, it is likely to arouse Ma Chao's heart to fight to the death.
However, Wang Yu replied without thinking.
"What are you going to do? Quite simply, I want to spread the name of China in all directions, and the power of the Han Dynasty will be like the sun in the sky, spreading the light to all places where the sun can shine. Such a grand cause, a foolish brother alone will definitely not be able to accomplish it, so it is necessary to invite the world's heroes to participate in the grand event! ”
"......" Ma Chao looked at Wang Yu fixedly, his eyes seemed to see Confucius and Mencius resurrected at the same time, and he was stunned for a while before he asked, "Are you talking about the so-called Pingbei Ce?" Are you serious? ”
He disagrees with Pingbance, he has been in Xiliang for so long, what he is looking forward to is to occupy a place in the Central Plains, how can he be willing to go to a farther place outside the territory? Thinking so in his heart, his tone naturally carried a little disdain, which sounded quite harsh.
"National events, isn't it child's play?" Wang Yu replied with a look of amazement on his face: "I thought that the virtuous brother was a hero, so I sincerely invited him, if the virtuous brother is also a person who only stares at the king of the Han family, then don't say it!" As he spoke, he drew the reins as if to turn away.
"General Wang, slow down!" Ma Chao's heart sank, and he hurriedly shouted. I thought that Wang Yugan would take the risk to come to see him, and he would definitely be very patient to say a long speech to persuade him, but who would have thought that the other party's temper would be more urgent than his own, so he didn't agree with him, turned around and left.
Ma Chao doesn't understand the current situation, he knows that the initiative is in the hands of the other party, and it is benevolence and righteousness to meet and persuade him, if he can't persuade him, he will be benevolent and righteous. In the future, people in the world will only say that they don't know what to do, and praise Corporal Wang Yulixian's style.
"What did General Ma say?" Wang Yu turned around slowly, Shicai's kind look was gone, and there was no expression on his face, but he was not angry and arrogant.
Ma Chao was about to speak, but he heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind him, turned his head to look, and saw Ma Yunlule stopping the horse, sticking out his tongue, and making an apologetic grimace at himself.
The brother and sister are affectionate, and Ma Chao's heart is also slightly warm, and when he turns to Wang Yu again, the words he says are a little less angular: "Wang Hussar's reputation for keeping promises is trustworthy, but Chaoruo led the army to surrender, but there are a few obstacles, can you ask the general to explain my doubts?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
Ma Chao's eyes were blazing, he looked at Wang Yu, and said slowly: "First, although my father and brother died at the hands of Han Sui, if there was no help from your army Xu Shu, it might not be like this...... If the father's hatred is not shared, won't the general worry about super fake submission and repeat it in the future? The general's meaning seems to be to make the super-conquest of the countries of the Western Regions, and when the time comes, the troops of the super-unified Western Regions will fight back, even if the general has the ability to reach the sky, he will have a headache for a while, right? ”
"It's not worrying at all, it's definitely false." Wang Yu replied calmly: "The Western Regions seem to be desolate, but in fact it is quite a prosperous place, large and small countries, I am afraid that there are not more than hundreds, and the population is even larger. If someone unites the countries of the Western Regions and invades the east, it must be very tricky, who wants to go on an expedition? But ......"
"But?"
"Just like the way of the virtuous brother, if you want to succeed, you must rush forward after seeing the goal, instead of being suspicious and looking ahead. If you want to achieve that grand goal, you can't achieve it with ordinary means, you can only do extraordinary things and take some risks, which is worth it! ”
Ma Chao tried hard to observe Wang Yu's expression, hoping to find out something abnormal. Wang Yu's words can be said to be loud and awe-inspiring, if it is from the bottom of his heart, then Ma Chao can only admit that he is infected and is about to be convinced.
But could this be true? There are hundreds of countries in the Western Regions, and it is not a problem to integrate hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is not a problem to let go of a person whose loyalty is very debatable. Is there really such a selfless person in this world?
He really didn't believe it.
However, no matter how he observed, there was no trace of hypocrisy in that resolute countenance.
"Actually, there is no need to be suspicious of the virtuous brother, the reason why the foolish brother dares to do this is because he knows that the virtuous brother is not a person who abolishes the public for personal reasons."
"What do you mean by that?" Ma Chao was slightly stunned.
"It's up to Brother Xian to ask himself." Wang Yu's eyes looking at Ma Chao were quite meaningful, "Brother Xian asked himself, is this father's revenge really necessary to be avenged?" ”
Wang Yu's words were amazing, not to mention Ma Chao's brothers and sisters, even Lu Qiling and Xu Huang were taken aback, I couldn't figure out if Wang Yu wanted to turn his face with Ma Chao, otherwise why would he say such inexplicable but extremely hurtful words?
Ma Chao stared at Wang Yu deadly, his eyes became extremely complicated, fierce, angry, surprised, and with a hint of doubt.
Ma Yunluo was very nervous, for fear that her brother would suddenly break out, she really didn't want to continue fighting, too many people around her had died, and the enemy on the opposite side was someone she hated.
In the midst of the tension, the passage of time seems to slow down. I don't know how long it took, Ma Chao suddenly laughed.
"Big brother, you ......" Ma Yunluo has never heard her brother's laughter like this, in her memory, her brother is a domineering and hearty person, who will laugh, and he is also arrogant, and when he is domineering, it is impossible to make this kind of terrifying sound like a night owl, which is eerie and terrifying to hear.
In the midst of miserable laughter, Ma Chao said hesitantly: "Wang Pengju is worthy of Wang Pengju, just talking about this ability to perceive people's hearts, Chao is beyond his reach." ”
Wang Yu didn't answer, just looked at Ma Chao quietly.
This smile was almost a pillar of incense, and when Ma Chao stopped laughing, he suddenly turned to his sister and asked, "Little Wu, what do you think of my father's treatment of me?" ”
“…… That's good. Ma Yunluo's eyes widened, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and when he answered blankly, he still didn't understand what his brother's question meant.
"What's so good?"
"Hmm......" Ma Yunluo held her forehead, thinking about it for a long time, she was asked.
"My mother died early, and my father accepted several ladies successively, Erniang was a Qiang girl and gave birth to Xuzhi and Jinyu, and Siniang was a Qiuzi woman...... Although I am old, how many times did my father treat me as a sister-in-law and the eldest son? He often takes it as his ambition to enter the pilgrimage, but he refuses to teach me to read, but he has invited a number of celebrities to teach Xuzhi and Jin Yu Chunchun, you say, who is closer to him? ”
Ma Yunluo blinked, his expression looked aggrieved, but his eyes looked very sad.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there are many mustards between the brothers and sons of the Ma family.
Ma Chao's biological mother is a Han girl, but Ma Teng has always regarded himself as a Qiang person, in his mind, even Ma Yunluo, who has Qiuzi blood, is more intimate than his eldest son Ma Chao, not to mention Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, who have strong Qiang blood.
If nothing else, Ma Teng will definitely pass on the family business to one of these two sons in the future, and the eldest son Ma Chao will only be regarded as a family general with high loyalty and strong martial arts.
Although Ma Yunluo is young, he is very smart, and these things are usually seen in his eyes. It's just that she always thought that the bold eldest brother wouldn't care about these things, but she didn't expect to be broken by Wang Yu here.
"General Wang, I don't know how you can see through this matter, but the eldest husband is above board, since you have been right, this matter will be revealed, okay?"
"Very good." Wang Yu nodded in response.
It's not hard to guess at all. Ma Teng is a person with no ambitions, he has joined forces with Cao Cao in history, and after making meritorious contributions, he left the foundation of Xiliang, took his family to Yecheng with more than 100 people, and left Ma Chao alone in Xiliang.
And Ma Chao was not polite later, knowing that the whole family was no different from the hostages in Yecheng, but in the sixteenth year of Jian'an, he brazenly raised troops against Cao, and defeated Cao Cao's main force in Tongguan, which made the latter angry and angry, and killed Ma Teng's family in the seventeenth year of Jian'an.
It can be seen that Ma Chao should not take his father and younger brother seriously.
On the other hand, the reason why Ma Teng left Ma Chao in Xiliang and took the rest of the children to Yecheng was that he didn't take this son very seriously. At that time, he and Han Sui turned against each other, feeling that Xiliang was dangerous, and leaving Ma Chao was to help Cao Cao control the situation in Xiliang, which was a very dangerous errand.
With foresight and actual contact, Wang Yu effortlessly guessed the reason and successfully aroused Ma Chao's heart.
"Chao's other doubt is that if General Wang wants to achieve such a grand cause, he must at least unify the Central Plains, right? Up to now, Chao is not shy about saying that before the Chao army attacked the state, Cao Cao took Xun You as his envoy, and hinted that during the period when the general was controlled by Chao, he would carry out a very bold strategic ...... in the Central Plains."
Ma Chao sold a little bit and observed Wang Yu's expression, and then continued: "Cao Cao's resourcefulness, General Wang should know, and he is also full of confidence in this strategy...... Does General Wang still have the confidence to win? ”
Ma Chao's words were not finished, and the subtext was obviously that it was not known who killed the deer, and Wang Yu's reason for persuading him to surrender was not sufficient.
"Hahahaha......" Wang Yu suddenly burst out laughing, and it took a long time to stop laughing, and he waved his hand and said, "Since Brother Xian has such worries, why don't you do this?" Brother Xian can leave on his own today and return to Xiliang, I will order someone to provide supplies to you, and on the way, I will ask Brother Xian to raise your noble hand. ”
"The virtuous brother can wait and see in Xiliang for a few months, and if our army wins, we will act according to the foolish brother's plan. If our army is unfortunately defeated, or if there is a stalemate, the virtuous brother should have not heard these words today, and what should he do? ”
"This ......" Ma Chao hesitated slightly, frowned and asked, "The general really has the heart to win?" ”
"Cao Cao's scheming, but it's just a matter of fishing in troubled waters, why bother? Brother Xian, just return to Xiliang and watch me break the enemy! ”
Ma Chao didn't know Cao Cao's specific plan, but he knew that this matter was beneficial and harmless, and at the same time, he was shocked by Wang Yu's courage, thought about it, and said: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey." Today, Chao swears here, if the general really wins, Chao will bow down from now on, recognize the general as a brother, and never regret it, otherwise he will die under the arrows! ”
"Very good!" Wang Yu is also very happy to have achieved his goal.
Ma Chao turned his head to look at his sister, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "In addition, Chao has something he wants to discuss with the general...... (to be continued)
