Looking at the gradually fading smoke and dust on the horizon, the sound of the horse's hooves next to him gradually became muffled, and Ma Chao had time to catch his breath. Ma Chao looked up at the sun, and it was already afternoon. A thrilling battle that decided the victory or defeat of the two armies, Ma Chao thought it was just a quarter of an hour's effort, but he didn't think that it would take half a day, and the corpses outside the camp were almost piled up higher than the wall.

At this time, Ma Chao felt that his body gradually became heavy, and it turned out that this was a feeling of exhaustion. He jumped off the wall of the wall, which was more than three feet high, and defeated hundreds of Han Sui's elite soldiers and strong generals under the walled gate. This was Ma Chao's most exhausting moment, he was sweating all over his body, and his legs were a little shaking. The reason why he didn't feel tired before was because he was always tense. Now, the crisis has been lifted, and Han Sui retreated back in disgrace, and his tight line immediately softened.

Before Ma Chao had time to catch his breath, he knew that he still had something important to complete, that is, to contact the rescuers who had rescued him from the crisis. Ma Chao stood on the wall and saw from a distance that most of the rescuers had survived since the battle with Han Sui's army, and the leader seemed to be an old man and a young horseman. The old man and the young man were leading their troops to Ma Chao's camp, and Ma Chao hurriedly went down the wall.

In order to express his gratitude, Ma Chao did not get on the horse, but stood under the gate of the village and waited for the old and young to come. But the old man and the young man were also men of propriety, and dismounted at a distance of twenty paces, and took hold of their mounts and walked. At this time, Ma Chao finally saw the two clearly. That young man, looking the same age as Ma Chao, with a brave face, six feet long, carrying a spear upside down, looking at Ma Chao's eyes seemed to be shining, seeing that Ma Chao was looking at him, he was a little restrained; The old man, but relatively younger than the young man, is actually a middle-aged man, seven feet five inches long, with a spear in his hand, and his face is somewhat similar to that of the young man, Ma Chao feels that these two must be father and son. The subordinates behind the two also dismounted and walked, clinging tightly behind them.

The two walked up to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao just wanted to hold his fists and ask the two of them for their identities and surnames. But to Ma Chao's surprise, the two tacitly gave him a salute together, and both said: "The last general will meet the young general!" ”

"Major General!" Ma Chao was a little confused at first, but soon understood, and he was secretly happy in his heart. This must be a rescuer sent by his father Ma Teng, but Ma Chao has never seen these two people under Ma Teng's tent.

Ma Chao was surprised: "What are the two?" ”

The older of the two, that is, Ma Chao considered to be the young man's father: "General Hui, the last general is sent by Ling Zun, surnamed Zhang Mingji, Wuwei Zuli. ”

Ma Chao was a little surprised after hearing this person's words, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ji, one of the generals who originally belonged to Dong Zhuo, who had forced Li Dao and Guo Yan to stop the army and make peace, and the widow left behind after his death had also caused Cao Cao's losses to Dian Wei, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin, actually appeared like this.

Ma Chao looked at Zhang Ji's face for a long time, and quickly came back to his senses and looked at the young man beside Zhang Ji. Since this person is Zhang Ji, then this young man must be his nephew Zhang Xiu. Ma Chao said: "Then, he is your nephew Zhang Xiu?" ”

Zhang Ji showed a look of surprise when he heard Ma Chao's words, and said, "Yes." However, the young general and I have never known each other in our lives, how do we know that this is the nephew of the last general? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiu on the side also looked at Ma Chao curiously. Ma Dai and Pang De behind Ma Chao were also a little surprised, they have always been by Ma Chao's side, Ma Chao has never been to Wuwei, how can he know someone from Wuwei?

got this answer, Ma Chao basically confirmed the identities of the two, and the uncle and nephew both used spears, which confirmed the identities of the two. Ma Chao did not rush to answer Zhang Ji's question, but looked at Zhang Xiu first.

Today's Zhang Xiu is not the mighty spear king of the Northland, nor is he the prince of the party who seized Nanyang County and united with Liu Biao to defeat Cao Cao many times. At this time, he was just a slightly stronger and taller child. In the eyes of Ma Chao from modern times, Zhang Xiu, the dignified gun king of the Northland, now looks very similar to the sports students of later generations, taller and stronger than his peers, and his skin is dark, which may be caused by martial arts. Zhang Xiu also looked at Ma Chao with interest, with a sparkle in his eyes. This kind of look Ma Chao is commonplace in modern times, and those fans look like this when they look at their idols.

Ma Chao replied with a smile: "The general doesn't know, I have known for a long time that there is a young man named Zhang Xiu in the north, who studied under Master Tong Yuan, and got his true legend of the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear, known as the Gun King of the Northland." Now that the general is here, I know that he is the Northland Spear King. ”

It turned out that he learned about it through Tong Yuan, who was the best in the world in spearmanship, and the puzzled people solved the mystery.

When Zhang Xiu heard this, she was a little complacent and surprised. Zhang Ji said with a smile: "The young general praised it falsely, the nephew of the last general has only learned some spear skills, how dare he be called the king of spears in the north?" The courage of the major general is famous all over the world. Pick Han Sui's account with several powerful generals, and his spear skills are the best in the world. Presumably, even if it is Master Tong Yuan, it is difficult to support dozens of times under the spear of the major general! ”

Ma Chao said humbly: "The general praised it. ”

Zhang Xiu still looked at Ma Chao obsessively, fascinated. Ma Chao also discovered this, and wondered in his heart that this embroidery was always looking at him with that look, could it be that he was actually the good of Long Yang? Zhang Ji saw that it was not good, so he quickly slapped it, and Zhang Xiu screamed in pain.

"What are you stunned?! Don't hurry up and give the major general a salute! Zhang Ji roared angrily.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly picked up the battle robe behind him with one hand, bowed to Ma Chao, and said loudly: "The kid has seen General Shenweitian!" ”

Zhang Ji said with a smile: "Don't blame the young general, the nephew of the last general usually doesn't dare to be so rude." It's just that after he heard about the major general's recent victory, he has always admired the great strength of the young general, and he was fascinated for a while. ”

Ma Chao realized that he had met a loyal fan. Ma Chao was as happy as if he had eaten honey, and he had defeated the invincible Han Sui in the past few days, which really brought him a lot of popularity. Even the Northland Gun King has become his fan, which makes Ma Chao a little fluttery.

Ma Chao picked up Zhang Xiu with both hands and said happily: "It's okay, it's okay." How old are you this year? This was said to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu said excitedly: "General Huishen Weitian, the boy is fourteen years old. ”

Ma Chao smiled: "I'm only sixteen, why call me a boy?" You and I are both young, and we both lead our armies into battle, and we have the same ambitions. If you don't mind, how about you and I just be brothers in the future? ”
