Zhang Ren was hit by an arrow on his mount, struggled to the end with a wail, and pulled him off his horse.

As soon as the Wei army swarmed up, they were about to capture it, but when they saw Zhang Ren burst into a shout, he actually half-squatted up from the dirt, and the gun swept like a wheel, and the approaching Wei army was killed several people.

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" Cao Xiu was furious, slapped his horse and rushed forward: "Get out of the way!" ”

"Ma Chao is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" At this moment, in the night not far away, a horse galloped in.

It turned out that Ma Chao rushed out of the fire from the east gate and rushed to kill the Wei army for a while, but he couldn't find Sima Yi, saw that the grain and grass were burned, and had no choice but to retreat with Pang De, and heard that there was an ambush ahead, so he hurriedly came to the rescue.

The Wei army was shocked when he heard the shouting, turned his head to look, and saw Ma Chao urging the horse to dance and kill with a gun, and the people and horses fell everywhere he passed, and there was no enemy.

Cao Xiu's heart jumped, and he didn't care about coming to catch Zhang Ren, so he shouted to Niu Jin: "Kill him!" ”

Niu Jin raised his gun to attack Zhang Ren, but was shot in the shoulder blade by Zhang Yi's arrow, and hurriedly followed Cao Xiu to retreat.

Ma Chao killed more than ten people in a row, rushed to Zhang Ren, saw him covered in mud and half-kneeling on the ground, didn't care about chasing and killing Wei Jun, dismounted and helped him up, and apologized: "Blame me for being eager for revenge, and almost killed the general!" ”

Zhang Ren sighed: "It was also my carelessness in using my troops that I was taken by Sima Yi!" ”

At this time, Pang De had led the troops to kill and retreat the Wei army, and the three of them gathered the remnants of the army and retreated to Yewang, and the main force of the Xiliang army was the main force of the Xiliang army, losing more than 3,000 people, losing all the grain and grass, and Zhang Ren was almost killed.

Ma Chao apologized to Zhang Ren and promised to give him a Dawan horse as compensation, but the setback in the first battle made Ma Chao feel guilty, and it was not good to raise the matter of the army again, so he ordered the camp to rest the soldiers and horses, and waited for the opportunity to take revenge.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ren was still bandaging his wound in the back office, and suddenly heard the drums in the hall, and he didn't have time to put on it, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and went out.

I saw that in the middle of the lobby, there was a pitch-black coffin, and Pang De and several Xiliang generals led the leaders to wear a hundred filial piety, and knelt under the hall with a brush.

Zhang Ren was shocked: "What does General Pang mean by this?" ”

Pang De hugged his fists and said: "Our Xiliang army has a deep blood feud with the Sima family, and now he has killed thousands of people, this revenge has to be avenged, and I hope that the general will be fulfilled, and a certain will be the vanguard, kill the Wei camp, report to the country, comfort the soldiers, and never die!" ”

The generals of Xiliang also kowtowed one after another, and said loudly: "Blood debt and blood repayment!" ”

Zhang Ren said angrily: "The use of soldiers is a major national matter, how can it be such a child's play? Sima Yi is resourceful and must not be reckless and impulsive. ”

When Pang De heard this, he kowtowed and begged: "Our soldiers have entered the Central Plains, since they are to serve the country, they are also to avenge!" If you don't take revenge and feel restless, how can you serve the country with peace of mind? General Zhang is also a righteous person, and all hopes will be fulfilled. ”

Zhang Ren frowned, Yu Gong couldn't rush to send troops, but Yu Zhi also understood the hatred of the Xiliang Army, the two sides had already formed a blood feud, and it was not a few simple words to distinguish right from wrong.

When he was making a noise, Ma Chao also rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw the situation in the hall, he was also surprised, but asked, "Who is in the coffin?" ”

Pound gritted his teeth and said: "This coffin is prepared for me, to avenge my brothers, and I will never die." ”

Ma Chao was stunned, and then said angrily: "Revenge is revenge, why use this bad thing?" ”

Pang De replied: "I was entrusted by the villagers, and more than 100,000 souls are still in Chang'an, and now thousands of people have been broken, and the camp is full of anger. If you can't avenge them, what face will you have to lead the three armies and stand in the world? Now the enemy is in front of me, a certain selection of 3,000 dead soldiers, swear to kill Sima Yi, if I can't kill him, he will be killed, so prepare a coffin first, in order to show the determination to fight to the death. If things can't be helped, it's not too late for the general to avenge us. ”

"Fart!" Ma Chao was furious, pointed at Pang De and scolded: "You dare to disobey my orders and take revenge privately, but there is still me Ma Chao in your eyes?" ”

Pound hugged his fists and said: "The last general only wants to avenge his brother, and has no other intentions." General Degan's father and son are gracious, although they can't make up for it, dare to be disrespectful? ”

"Nonsense!" Ma Chao suddenly pulled out his sword and glared at everyone angrily.

Zhang Ren was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ma Chao: "Meng Qi is angry, General Pang is eager for revenge, and he didn't mean to hide the general." ”

"This is my family matter, and the general doesn't have to interfere!" Ma Chao pushed Zhang Ren to sit down, pointed at everyone and shouted: "The Ma family has been martial arts since its beginnings, and it is powerful in Xiliang, and all the soldiers help each other, and the people of Xiliang support it." Now we will take revenge with one heart and swear to destroy Sima, and you want to abandon me and go? ”

Pang De hurriedly said: "The general misunderstood, a certain is a pioneer today, he should swear to break the enemy to the death, kill the bloody road, and if he unfortunately dies, he will also have the general to take care of my son." Sima Yi is treacherous, and the general needs to slash this thief. ”

Ma Chao raised his sword and slashed it down, split the coffin in half, looked around at everyone, and said slowly: "If you want to take revenge, you will go with you!" ”

Pang De was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and hurriedly said: "We will go to take revenge first, and it is not too late for the general to come back to answer later." ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "The soldiers of Xiliang all followed my father and son, but they did not achieve fame today, but they were tragically killed in another country." This matter is all because of the Ma family, how can I retreat to the matter of revenge? If you want to fight to the death, my Ma Chao should be the first! ”

Pang De and the others were greatly moved, and they all lay on the ground and cried bitterly, Xiliangjun has suffered several times, how many times he has been born and died, and climbed out of the pile of dead people hand in hand, although he is not flesh and blood, but the friendship is far beyond his closest relatives.

Zhang Ren originally thought that Ma Chao's posture was to persuade Pang De, but he didn't expect him to go too, so he hurriedly dissuaded: "Sima Yi's scheming person, the general must not underestimate the enemy and make a big mistake." ”

Ma Chao slowly raised the sword, and a resolute face was reflected on the blade, and he said in a deep voice: "We were calculated by Cao Thief and Sima Yi, and we died once as early as when we were in Jincheng. If it weren't for General Liu's rescue, would Ann have a day of revenge? Now that I am alive, I am all about revenge, and I am willing to clear the obstacles for the Lord, so what is there to fear from death? ”

Zhang Renyan said: "For the major matter of using troops, you need to ask the lord and general to order, and I hope the general will consider it!" ”

Ma Chao's eyes floated to the door, motioned to Pang De and everyone to get up, hugged his fists to Zhang Ren and said: "If the husband has revenge and does not take revenge, how can he talk about dominating the world?" I have just said that this is our family matter, and I forgive Ma for not being able to obey today! ”

Ignoring Zhang Ren's dissuasion, he took Pang De and others out of the yamen, and only ordered the Xiliang army to dispatch to the camp, and at the same time sent someone to send a message to Ma Dai, ordering him to lead the people and horses of his headquarters to Xiuwu to take revenge.

Deng Xian frowned and said: "Although the current general is the governor of Hanoi, Ma Chao is proud of his courage and is in charge of the Xiliang army alone, and he has openly disobeyed orders several times, which will damage the military prestige and be afraid that the army will be disadvantaged." ”

"Although the Xiliang army is unruly, it also has the same hatred for the enemy, like wolves, and is not afraid of the Central Plains?"

Zhang Ren looked at the coffin that was broken in half on the ground, remembered the scene just now, and had a complicated mood, so he immediately sent someone to report to Liu Qi.
