~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The afterglow of the sunset, the distant mountains are vast, the wind blows the reeds, and the river soup soup.

There is only one boat on the river, and there is only one person on board.

Horseman.

He stood in front of the bow finch room, behind the female wall, and his whole body was draped: an eagle prismatic helmet, bright light armor, an iron armor skirt, two large leather bags and arrows on his back, and a white tail feather, like a peacock with an open screen. The two rounds of bloody eyes of the Demon Pupil Bow in his hand seemed to have absorbed the blood fountain on the river, flashing with bewitching and strange blood.

If there is a big ship, he is the only one, standing alone in the heaven and earth, like a peerless knight. One person, one boat, revealing a hidden but not revealing killing machine, permeating both sides of the river. Even if there are thousands of troops, they are frightened and hesitate.

This is Cao Ren's impression of seeing Ma Han for the first time, and this impression is so deep that later Ma Han suddenly appeared in front of the Three Kingdoms in an extremely amazing way, causing the world to be shocked, only Cao Ren smiled bitterly and said to his brother: "I said earlier, this person is a great ......."

And at present, Cao Ren, who is outside Suiling City, only has a strong vigilance against Ma Han, and there is a faint murderous intention.

Cao Ren took a full 300 horses out, and on the south bank of Suishui, a crowd of people called horses neighing, and it was very noisy. He originally wanted to give the other party a dismount, but in front of this person and a boat, he became all clowns, and his mighty military appearance turned into a farce.

Cao Ren was also a well-known gangster boss between Huai and Si back then (Three Kingdoms Chronicles "Yin Knot Boy, Circling between Huai and Si"), and he was still very face-saving on the scene, and he was brave and brave, and he was not afraid to face strong enemies - this can be seen from the fact that he dared to ride alone several times to rescue Niu Jin and his subordinates after more than ten years.

Therefore, Cao Ren didn't care about the heavy killing machines revealed in the third-floor cabin of the ship. Drink ordered Zhu to retreat dozens of steps from the horse, cloaked in sharp clothes, and rode forward alone, and the horses on the building boat, one high and one low, far opposite.

Cao Ren didn't ask any nonsense such as "You are Liaodong Ma Jinglong", and went straight to the point: "Ma Jinglong, what do you want?" ”

Ma watched Zhou Cangsan ride pulling the horses and walked up to the boat one by one, and then raised his voice and said to Cao Ren: "Cao Zixiao." I should have asked you, what do you want? If it is just for revenge, then I will hand over the culprit and a group of accomplices to you today, so that you will lose the basis for fighting in Xuzhou. So, if you don't want this Zhang Min? If so, let's sit down and talk; No, I'll pull out the boat and leave. ”

Cao Ren had a hedgehog and a heaval on his breastplate. The green tendons on the back of the hand holding the reins bulged, and I didn't know whether to say it or not.

A hundred paces apart, the river wind was strong, but the voice of the horse was condensed but not dispersed. It was clear to the ear: "However, I don't expect you to be the master of such a big matter, so please go to Cao Gong." ”

Under the brim of Cao Ren's iron helmet, a pair of white and black eyes flashed. Zhensheng said: "A certain family doesn't know Zhang Min, how can you prove it?" ”

Ma Han said calmly: "I don't need to prove it at all." I believe that under the command of Cao Gong, who conquered nearly half of Xuzhou, there is no shortage of officials who were originally subordinate to Xuzhou. Among these people. There are definitely more than one or two people who know Zhang Min. Captain Cao can find a few such people to come and identify, and at the same time, he can go to Cao Gong, killing two birds with one stone. However, it's better to hurry, I don't have much food, and yours is the same, we can't afford it. ”

Cao Ren sneered: "Our army has a lot of food and grass, so I am disappointed." ”

"That was just before, it's different now." Ma Han said after a while, "The people who are still alive in Suiling City, you must guarantee that you will not let them starve to death - forget it, in the face of the army's food shortage crisis, your guarantee is worthless." That's good, you leave half of the rice grain and lead the army out of Suiling. Anyway, you and I both understand that the purpose of attacking this city is for food, and there is no need to occupy the city at all. ”

At this moment, Cao Ren only felt angry - since the beginning of the army, no one has dared to be so arrogant in front of him, what is he himself? I thought that there was a Zhang Min in my hand who didn't know the authenticity, so I decided to eat myself!

"What if someone refuses?" Cao Ren's words were squeezed out of his teeth, and even if others knew that these words were not directed at them, they felt a chill.

Ma Han smiled unexpectedly, and changed his words: "Captain Cao may think that I only have one Zhang Min. No, you're wrong, I'm still holding a person's life. You will never, dare not, and you cannot ignore this person's life. ”

Cao Ren's eyes narrowed: "Who is it?" ”

"You!" As soon as Ma Han's voice fell, he raised his bow, drew his arrow, aimed, and loosened the strings, all in one go.

Cao Ren was a hundred paces away from the horse, which was more than the usual distance of an arrow in this era, but Cao Ren had also seen a master of archery with a hundred paces, and he had been fully prepared in advance before he knew the details of the horse. Wear heavy armor, hold a strong shield, and always be vigilant. The only thing he miscalculated was that he had never seen such a fast arrow, and almost the moment the string sounded, the arrow was already approaching with a fierce killing intent.

The arrows shot by the twelve-stone bow have a muzzle velocity comparable to a pistol bullet, how many people in the world can dodge it?

As soon as Cao Ren's shield hand moved, a cold wind with the breath of death flew over his head, and with a loud sound, his iron helmet was pierced and shot down.

One moment, he was still a majestic general, but the next moment, he became a defeated general with a disheveled hair and a grim face like a ghost.

Cao Jun was suddenly in chaos, boiling against the sky, and rushed forward one after another.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and the three panes on the south side of the building opened at the same time, and hundreds of arrows poked out and fired in unison. The arrows rained down, intertwined into a net, slashed through the air, and swept over Cao Ren's head. Puff puff, puff, the arrows landed, and the white feathers trembled violently, and they were arranged in an almost straight line, cutting Cao Ren off from his cavalry guards.

"Stop! Stop it! Cao Ren suddenly raised his hand and shook it sharply, the former sentence was said to Ma Han, and the latter sentence was said to the three hundred servants under his command. Cao Ren is worthy of being the commander of the first army, although he is angry but not chaotic, he has already understood that this arrow only shoots at the helmet and does not shoot people, which is clearly a warning that "your life is in my hands". The archery skills and tacit understanding of the hundreds of archers lying in the cabin are even more amazing, it is not difficult for archers to shoot the enemy on the battlefield, but hundreds of people shoot a straight line at the same time, this kind of skillful cooperation, superb archery skills, is really rare.

Such an amazing archery general, such a strong archery team, is definitely not something that can be provoked lightly. Cao Ren made a wise choice at this critical juncture.

Ma Han was still immersed in Fang Cai's extraordinary arrow at the moment. For more than a year, he has not relaxed in the slightest, often practicing riding and archery with the soldiers of the White Wolf Battalion, and has not even pulled off on the way to Liaodong to report on his work. Now, he has gone beyond the level of "eye aiming" and steadily maintaining the level of "hand aiming", and has gradually stepped into the realm of "mental aiming" recently.

Where the heart leads, where the hand goes, where the eye goes, everything is indispensable! This is the mystery of Tai Shi Ci's archery.

Perhaps it was the vastness of the world and the loneliness of the Si people, which made Ma Han have a mysterious artistic conception in his heart, and naturally shot this realm with an arrow that flowed through the clouds, almost reaching the level of a hundred steps. He now had a strong feeling that he could shoot all the three hundred Cao troops below Cao Ren in one go, maybe only for a moment, maybe only half a moment. In short, at this moment, he has a strong desire to incarnate a "human machine gun"!

Ma Han's miraculous arrow, as well as the strength he displayed, dispelled Cao Ren's stupid idea of wanting to snatch people. Cao Ren's sanity saved himself and his subordinates, and also inadvertently quelled Ma Han's desire to kill.

"Ma Jinglong! This arrow, I, Cao Ren, wrote it down. Cao Ren is also a straightforward person, judging the situation and knowing the trade-offs, otherwise he would not be the boss of the Youth Gang, let alone raise an army independently.

Ma Han didn't answer, stretched out his hand to the sky and pointed: "I don't want Cao Jun to stay in Suiling before dark." ”

Cao Ren's nostrils let out a breath of indignation, took the helmet presented from the horse, and after just one glance, his face changed-the helmet was almost at the tip of the hat, and it was torn apart by half a palm, which was made of pure iron! Looking at the torn gap, Cao Ren only felt that his scalp was itchy and numb for a while, as if his own heavenly spirit cover had also been lifted.

Cao Ren couldn't take care of it anymore, he twisted his bun indiscriminately, put on the helmet of the gap, and when he tied the silk tape, he suddenly turned his head and said to Ma Han on the boat: "Ma Jinglong, you entered Xuzhou this time, but you came to help Tao Gongzu?" ”

Ma Han raised his bow and clenched his fists and arched his hand: "I am not for Tao Gongzu, nor for Cao Mengde, but for the people of Xuzhou." ”

If it weren't for Ma Hanfu's face, he came to a tough and violent "meeting gift", with the other party's personable and handsome appearance, Cao Ren might really believe that this is a benevolent gentleman. And now, he can only say "oh bah" hatefully in his heart, and he led three hundred horses back to the city to gather the troops, and urgently withdrew from Suiling City.

With Zhang Min as a bargaining chip and backed by strong personal and troop strength, Ma Han successfully stopped Cao Ren's slaughter, and forcibly pulled a piece of "life-saving food" from Cao Jun's mouth that was enough to keep the people of Suiling alive.

The first confrontation between Ma Han and Cao Jun was narrowly won with a small and big victory. (To be continued......)
