Under the knife.

Not to mention Ma Chao's physical strength, the war horses under his seat seemed to be unable to withstand such pressure and were pressed down, and Ma Chao was even more afraid of confidence at this time.

His strength, even if it is not in his heyday, even if his arms are still sore, but it will not be so defeated, he is not Xu Bowen's opponent at all.

Not to mention how fast his knife was, it was like a thunderbolt falling, and it was in front of him in an instant, and Ma Chao was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zhen slashed away with a horizontal knife, and slashed his right hand with a series of golden and iron sounds along the spear, so that he had to let go.

At this moment, Xu Zhen was already winning, but he still eagerly stretched out his left hand, pulled violently, and took all of Ma Chao's spears into his hand, pulling him off the war horse.

With his right hand, he handed it over and placed it around his neck.

At this time, Chitu snorted, and a white mist came out of his mouth, as if he was yawning, and he was surprisingly calm, as if the battle just now did not make it feel like it was showing off.

Ma Chao fell to the ground, and just as he was about to get up, he immediately felt a cold neck, and his throat was sealed with a quick knife, and the sharpness almost made every hair of his hair stand up.

At this time, Xu Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Alas, three rounds, after all, it was done."

"Three rounds...... He was defeated. ”

Ma Chao looked at the snow on the ground in despair, he now understood why Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Zilong and others were all following behind Xu Zhen.

They are already one of the best generals, but it is estimated that they will also be defeated when they meet Xu Zhen, this person is the most powerful general among the soldiers of Bingzhou!

This knife, don't look at it ordinary, but only those who really face Xu Zhen understand that the choice of timing, the place where the knife is struck, and the momentary changes when facing the battle are all superior.

It's flawless and unavoidable.

Ma Chao even felt that his body was under his control, and he would guard wherever he went, even if he kept fighting, he would be led by the nose sooner or later.

Not to mention that his mind is already in turmoil.

Fighting with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong one after another, each of them has a different style of fighting, and when it comes to Xu Zhen, where can there be any judgment.

It's just that he doesn't understand.

Why is Xu Zhen such a martial artist, even if he is the first to come, he will definitely be defeated by him, and even after dozens of rounds, he is very likely to be killed, but he has never been the first to come.

Is it just for the sake of teasing step by step?!

At this time, of course, Xu Zhen didn't have time to guess what Ma Chao was thinking in his heart, and the voice of the system sounded.

[Hidden Challenge: Defeat Ma Chao in 3 Moves]

[Supreme Reward: Trait: Iron Cast Offal, Trait: Longevity, Longevity Pill (1 bottle)]

"Hoo ......"

Xu Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that his body was constantly changing, especially the internal organs were all attached to a wonderful power, and his body was more than powerful.

And the longevity of Weng made his qi and blood skyrocket in an instant, and it grew to an extremely terrifying point.

[Characteristic: Longevity: Increases lifespan by 10% and is extremely susceptible to illness. 】

[Current lifespan: 132/4/12/7 o'clock]

"There are more than 100 years to live, and the rate of growth is accelerating, and you will be able to live forever in the future."

Xu Zhen thought to himself, his face was leisurely, this trip can be said to have gained a lot, but on the other hand, Ma Chao did not have such a mood.

His eyes stared blankly at the ground, as if he had been hit to the extreme, and his whole mind was broken.

Three-knife ......

I was defeated with three knives?!

At this time, Ma Chao's heart was still completely unable to get out of the three knives just now, and Xu Zhen finally pressed out, almost destroying his entire heart.

Ma Chao has never been so defeated in his life.

At the beginning in Xiliang, all these years are invincible, all over the place is to fight with warriors, never defeated, I thought that after I swept Xiliang, at least I could fight the heroes of the world.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen couldn't get over here.

And he was defeated by his generals one after another.

"Kill me."

Ma Chao said desperately, at this time, he moved his body with difficulty, only to feel that his limbs were extremely sore, and the Xiliang soldiers and horses behind him did not dare to move, and no one spoke.

They are all waiting for further changes in the situation.

Xiliang has experienced many years of war, and there are only so many people who can gather at this time, all of them are looking here, and these people are all headed by Ma Chao.

It was Ma's soldiers and horses, but just now, Ma Chao fell in front of them.

Among these soldiers and horses, many of them are Qiang people, these Qiang people advocate the strong, and once regarded Ma Chao as a god and mighty general.

With such a prestige, it should not be defeated, but it was defeated very badly.

"No," Xu Zhen obviously didn't mean to kill him, but directly took the Miao knife on the red rabbit, and after getting off the war horse, he stood still in front of Ma Chao, his face smiled slightly, "If I kill you, I will be resisted by hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers and horses, so it is better to turn the war into a jade silk." ”

"Change, fight, for jade silk?"

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and his heart was suddenly mentioned a little, at least Xu Zhen still had a lot of respect for him in his words.

Hundreds of thousands of Xiliang soldiers and horses are indeed attributed to themselves, this is the cohesion brought out over the years, and it will be wiped out if it is not one or two defeats, but what he doesn't understand is, how can it be transformed? !

It's about turning enemies into friends with yourself.

"Perhaps, we are not enemies, but someone is just using tactics to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, because from the beginning, the soldiers under my command only want to fight with the general, not to fight to the death."

"And I'm just itchy."

Xu Zhen stared at Ma Chao, showed a very kind smile, and said to him: "It's good to lose in three swords." ”

"For example, Dian Wei once defeated him with one move, and the difference between the masters is a millimeter, and the winner can be decided."

"What's more, you fought with Zhong Kang for six hours, and your vitality was greatly damaged, and after that, you just struggled to support it."

"Dian Wei?!"

Ma Chao raised his head in disbelief, he didn't know that Dian Wei was also so embarrassed, but he also felt that what Xu Zhen said was reasonable, although the difference between the masters was not much, but it was true that one detail could put people at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he is not completely weaker than Xu Zhen, I am afraid that what is missing is these millimeters.

"However," Ma Chao sighed with hatred, "I am a fish and a prisoner, this life is handed over to the chariot and horse, if you have to let me go, I will lead the soldiers and horses back to Xiliang." ”

"No, since you are a prisoner of war, then follow me into the camp for a while, can you dare?"

"Hehe......" Ma Chao's face was bitter, "If there is anything else that you dare to dare, I will go." ”

……

Outside the barracks, the two armies are still facing each other.

And Tongguan has begun to spread, Xu Bowen personally took action to capture Ma Chao back, and persuaded him to surrender in the camp at this time, so the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Tongguan was high, and everyone was full of pride.

In the barracks, there were civil and military forces on both sides in front of Xu Zhen, and in front of him was Ma Chao.

Jia Xu went to order someone to prepare drinks and come, treat him with courtesy, and did not treat him as a prisoner of war, as soon as Xu Zhen arrived at the position, he immediately said straight to the point: "General Ma Teng entered Xudu, I already knew the news, but I couldn't intercept him along the way." ”

"He went to Xudu, I also understand what the reason is, the purpose is just to make the general's division famous, break through the Tong Pass with mourning soldiers, and enter the state to fight against Cao's army."

"It's just that the times are not good, and I am the one who guards the border of the state."

That's a good point.

If it were to change to any Cao general, it would not have come to such a point, at least the rest of the people, anyone! It is impossible for there to be five fierce generals under his command who will not fall behind in the battle with him!

There could not have been such a commanding cavalry!

When Xu Bowen was rushing to kill, although he suffered heavy casualties, he did not lose many war horses, and when his war horses came out of the camp, they were basically already chasing and killing.

The rain of arrows and arrows that had been relied on to resist before, and they orderly blocked their Xiliang soldiers with dozens of rounds of volleys, which is very rare.

Ma Chao asked himself that he had led troops changeable, and had fought with many strange foreign races in the north and west, and even foreign soldiers and horses, and only after learning from each other did he get the spear formation, and he learned a lot of the style of leading troops, but no matter what, it seemed that he was not as good as Xu Bowen.

"Hmmm......"

Ma Chao was shocked, and began to think about the meaning of Xu Zhen's words, he understood that Xu Zhen said this, he must not mean to be hostile.

"What does it mean to ride a car, are you and the prime minister not all the way?"

Xu Zhen was silent for a moment, he didn't expect Ma Chao to ask so directly, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this moment, everyone's eyes are staring at him, not only Ma Chao, but in fact, Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, and many generals all want an answer.

And Xu Zhen's next words should be extremely important.

"Nope."

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "I used to be a person all the way, but now it's not." ”

Until now, he doesn't believe that when he was in Jingzhou, the general of the Cao clan came out to hunt him down, and he didn't know it.

It should be tacit consent.

In this case, the prime minister has already secretly stabbed him, and Xu Zhen can only seek a way to protect himself, and he can't raise his love.

If you put aside all your worries and only consider the two of you, Xu Zhen and Cao Cao will definitely laugh a few times, and then drink and talk.

But it's a pity.

Behind them, there are a lot of people standing.

Everyone is a responsibility.

"So, I want Xiliang."

Xu Zhen said firmly, "No matter what, I want Xiliang." ”

"Why?"

Ma Chao frowned, but laughed instead, "If you are really not a person all the way, you can turn your hand and take Jizhou, and then the army will go out of Xudu, and within three years, you can defeat Cao Cao and become the Son of Heaven." ”

"What do you want Xiliang to do?"

Ma Chao's expression was playful, as if he had seen through Xu Zhen's inner thoughts, in his opinion, this was clearly insincere, he always had the prime minister in his heart, and the two of them were not to the point of dying.

But for some reason, this is the case, Ma Chao feels that this rider seems to be very affectionate, and would rather be willing to seek the near and far.

Nor do they take permission to be self-reliant.

In fact, with his kind of troops, as long as the rear is in chaos, he can immediately make the Cao family difficult to take care of in the north and south, and he doesn't even need to do it, just the rebels in Jingzhou, plus the Jiangdong Sun family, as well as Liu Bei and Liu Qi in Jiangxia.

can defeat Cao Cao.

Ma Chao's army also reached 200,000, and he grew up in Xiliang, where the people were fierce, how could he not have foresight.

"This, I have my own measure."

Xu Zhen stared, and his power suddenly rose.

Ma Chao suddenly grinned, "Okay, don't say this." ”

"Xiliang, I will hand over the chariot to ride, but I can't transfer troops and horses to leave, if I dare to believe it, I will immediately inform my uncle Han Sui when I go back, and in addition, if I fight with the Cao family in the future, I will definitely be in the front."

should have been a prisoner, but Ma Chao was still a guest at the moment.

How grateful he was in his heart, and at this time, he could also feel the open-mindedness of this rider, coupled with the wind comments he had heard over the years, he knew what kind of person Xu Zhen was.

Just one thing is worth entrusting.

As soon as he walked from Jizhou, there were several scholars and millions of people following the migration, and this kind of beauty was more reassuring than the Confucianism among the scholars for 20 years.

Because the people don't like nothingness, their hearts must be good.

Although Ma Chao is fast and reckless, he has the style of a general, and he can see that this car is riding well.

He may be the same as the general Huangfu Song, he is not a chariot knight sealed by the Son of Heaven, but a chariot general in the hearts of the people.

It is used to calm people's hearts.

"Xiliang retreated, Jingzhao and Fufeng both ceded the cavalry garrison, and at the same time asked the cavalry to follow me back to Wuwei, and I handed over the right to deploy soldiers and horses to the riders."

"Lieutenant General of our army, I'm afraid I won't refuse."

In this regard, Ma Chao was convinced.

Otherwise, he would not have been so angry when Xu Jun returned the bodies of all the dead and wounded soldiers in Xiliang that night.

This hand, but it really collected the hearts of Xiliang people, and also made full preparations for the surrender now, this return of the corpse is not only to buy people's hearts, but also to inform them in an atmospheric manner, regardless of the offense of this raid.

The bearing is indeed extraordinary.

"Okay."

Xu Zhen didn't hesitate, making Ma Chao laugh again, "Che Qi, dare to go back to Wuwei with me, aren't you afraid that I will set up an ambush to harm you?" ”

"Hmph, don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people."

Xu Zhen said something that made Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang shake their heads secretly.

This sentence......

……

"Hmph, don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people!"

Jingzhou.

In the Xiangyang government office, Cao Cao received a letter from across the river.

It was written by Xu Gong, the person left by Xu Zhen at the beginning.

"Jun and retire from the army, and present Sun Ce's head."

In a simple sentence, after thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao decided to retreat his soldiers and horses for dozens of miles, return to the defensive, take into account the spring ploughing and tuntian, and no longer oppress the Jiangdong lands.

Always ready to march.

"Lord, this may be a delaying tactic," Guo Jiahu looked at the letter suspiciously, his face was full of disbelief, he was naturally suspicious, and his nature was to oppose anything.

"At this time, it is time to storm the attack, and it is necessary to press the soldiers and horses into the border, so that Jiangdong and Jiangxia will not be able to breathe, otherwise they will hoard grain and grass, and it will be more difficult to fight in the future."

"No, I believe Xu Bowen, this is the last plan he left me."

Cao Cao sighed, although he was unwilling to listen before, he wanted to attack Jiangdong and then return to the north, but it was really the beginning of spring......

"Don't be in a hurry, give him a month, if it can be done, it will be stable, if not, then it will be a re-march."

"Prime Minister!"

Outside the door of the main hall, Xun You hurriedly walked over, sweating profusely, holding a bamboo slip tightly in his hand, stained with a little blood, which made Cao Cao raise his eyebrows and stare coldly.

"What's the news?"

"Xu Zhen, break Xiliang!" Xun You said with a shocked face.

It's too fast.
