In a courtyard fifty miles outside Yangzhai City, Ma Chao was riding a white horse, wearing a silver helmet and armor, and holding a bright silver gun in his hand. As soon as he left the gate of the courtyard, he looked in high spirits.
One hundred elite cavalry, all wearing white robes and covering their faces with white cloth, followed closely behind Ma Chao. Each knight was so strong and strong, as if they were carved out of the same mold.
For nearly a month, Ma Chao led his elite hundred cavalry back and forth between Sili and Sili many times. This cavalry often appeared and disappeared, and the dragons appeared but not tailed. The scouts sent by Chu, Wei, and Yan were all captured.
Ma Chao's cavalry was killed, and even the corpse was left without a trace.
Today, Ma Chao is once again fully clothed and preparing to run all the way back to Hangu Pass from here. He is also preparing to run around the territory of Wei with this appearance, so that the people of Wei will see how Ma Chao suddenly appeared in Wei.
of.
"Let's go!" Ma Chao waved his bright silver gun forward and shouted loudly.
"etc!"
At this time, Qian Hu rode a fast horse from the direction of Yangzhai City. He reached Ma Chao's side without stopping, rolled his saddle and dismounted. He immediately fell to his knees on the ground, crying and shouting loudly: "Master, something bad has happened."
Yes, Xu Shu..."
"Xu Shu? What's wrong with Xu Shu?" Ma Chao sneered and asked.
"Master, I rushed to Yangzhai City at starry night, but the four gates were closed tightly. There were constant shouts of killing in the city, so I hid outside the city and waited for dawn. Unexpectedly, this morning, I saw four people from Yangzhai City.
There are bloody human heads hanging on the city gates. It took us three months to secretly sneak in those heads. Who would have thought that Xu Shu, the guy, actually killed his subordinates overnight..."
"Damn Xu Shu!" Ma Chao suddenly threw the bright silver gun in his hand, and the tip of the gun directly pierced a big tree on the roadside and penetrated the big tree. What an amazing power it was.
"Master, let's kill Yangzhai City to avenge our dead brothers!" Qian San shouted behind Ma Chao.
Qian Hu asked with a confused look: "Master, what should we do now?"
Ma Chao frowned tightly, turned to Qian Hu and said: "Mount your horse and return to Hangu Pass. The army should have been assembled by this time. I will lead the army to occupy the abandoned capital of Luoyang and capture all the Sili south of the Yellow River."
Take it back, then respectfully welcome the emperor, come to the old capital, aspire to the Central Plains, and hold the emperor hostage to rule the world!"
Qian Hu said: "Master, do you want to send someone back in advance to inform Taiwei Yang Biao, Situ Wang Yun and His Highness Prince Liang?"
"Qian San, you go back first. After arriving at Hangu Pass, ask Zhang Xiu to send someone to inform the King of Liang, asking the King of Liang to lead 100,000 Xiliang cavalry into the pass in case of emergency. He also recruits Yang Biao and Wang Yun to Hangu Pass.
Guguan, with these two old guys advising me, I feel confident."
"promise!"
Qian Hu asked: "Master, why don't we go back?"
"I have to go back, but before I go back, I have to do something first. Now that I have come to Wei State, I can't let those thousand elite soldiers die in vain."
"Master, what should we do?"
There was a hint of cunning on Ma Chao's face, and he said with a smile: "You come with me, and you will know when the time comes. However, before leaving, let us burn down the courtyard first. Since Xu Shu killed our soldiers hidden in the city,
, I must have noticed something. Since Xu Shu is the military advisor of the Wei State, he must be smart. This time, I underestimated him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao gave an order to everyone. More than a hundred people prepared many torches and began to set fire to the manor on the spot. Then they walked away and disappeared in the billowing smoke.

In Yangzhai City, Xu Shu sent people to go from house to house to appease them. In the name of rebellion, he executed those who were engaged in selling horses in the horse market. He would rather kill them by mistake than let them go, and hung their heads on the city gate as a symbol of rebellion.
Show punishment.
At noon, the city of Yangzhai gradually regained its breath, and all the streets and alleys in the city were washed. The smell of blood that permeated the city in the early morning had disappeared, and the entire city became extremely clean.
In the prefect's house, Xu Shu was having a simple lunch and looking at the map. Suddenly he saw Cao Hong rushing from outside with a quick pace, with a bit of panic on his face, so he asked: "General Cao, what happened?"
?”
Cao Hong hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "This is to inform the military advisor that Yangcheng was suddenly attacked by unknown troops. The county magistrate of Yangcheng died in the battle, and the entire city was destroyed by fire..."
"What did you say? When did this happen?" Xu Shu asked hurriedly.
"A government official from Yangcheng just came to report that not only that, but the villages along the road of more than a hundred miles from Yangdi to Yangcheng were attacked by unknown troops, burned, killed, looted, and the people were miserable.
Bodies are everywhere..."
"Damn it! How do those unknown troops dress up?" Xu Shu said angrily.
Cao Hong said: "Military advisor, that unknown army is the elusive cavalry team that appeared near the old capital of Luoyang some time ago..."
After Xu Shu listened, he suddenly frowned tightly and asked: "Xuanyuan Pass and Hulao Pass are impenetrable. Could it be that this group of cavalry got wings and flew over? Otherwise, why are Xuanyuan Pass and Hulao Pass missing?"
Report?"
Cao Hong was also puzzled and said: "I don't know this very well, but what is certain is that they definitely did not come from Xuanyuan Pass or Hulao Pass..."
"Investigate this matter thoroughly, and let Li Dian lead 3,000 people to Yangcheng to temporarily act as Yangcheng County Magistrate. I will send people to transport the follow-up supplies to Yangcheng. The most important thing is to appease the people. As for the mysterious cavalry team, that's all.
It’s up to you to find out their whereabouts no matter what.”
Cao Hong felt that the task was difficult, but he did not refuse. For him, the more difficult the task, the more challenging it was. What's more, he also wanted to see with his own eyes who the mysterious cavalry team was.
After receiving the order, Cao Hong hurried to the school grounds, ordered five hundred tiger and leopard cavalry, and flew out of Yangdi City on Pegasus. Li Dian then hurried to Yangcheng with an infantry of three thousand horses to take up his post.
In Yangzhai City, Xu Shu was arranging food and fodder while secretly guessing who the mysterious cavalry team was and why it could suddenly appear in the territory of Wei without anyone noticing. The whereabouts of Qian Hu and Qian San were also unknown.
, did that mysterious cavalry team come from the west of Hangu Pass?
I can't guess, I just find it very nerve-wracking.
"Your Majesty, we have discovered a huge convoy around Yingshui, with about a thousand people." A scout walked into the prefect's mansion, interrupting Xu Shu's thoughts.
"Convoy? What convoy?"
"Like a family migrating in a convoy..."
"Where did it come from?"
"Shangcai."
"From Runan County? Don't worry about them for the time being. From now on, all of you should disperse for me and search carefully for me in Yangcheng, Lunshi, Jiaxian, Fucheng, and Xuanyuan Pass to find any suspicious cavalry."
team, report it to me immediately." Xu Shu knew very well.
There are a lot of refugees in Runan County, and there are also a lot of rich people who move with their families. He is used to it, so he doesn't care. As long as he walks in Wei State, he doesn't need to pay attention to it. In contrast, what is imminent is
That mysterious hundred-man cavalry team.
"promise!"

After a long journey, Gao Fei, Zhen Mi and others finally arrived at the border of Linying County. They walked north along the Ying River, stopping and walking, so they were very tired.
"Everyone stop and rest." Gao Fei glanced at the exhausted pedestrians and shook his head helplessly. Only now did he understand why the thunder of the Yellow Turban Uprising was louder than the rain.
Looking at this group of refugees relying on the charity of the Zhen Mansion, he could understand that no matter how many people there were, it was of no use. When they encountered real officers and soldiers, they would only be massacred at will.
During the break, Gao Fei took out a water bag and drank a few sips, quenching his thirst.
After getting along with each other for more than a day, he finally discovered that the servants and slaves of the Zhen Mansion were all desperate people. They were taken in by the Zhen Mansion and were given food, accommodation and wages. Therefore, the servants and slaves of the Zhen Mansion were all
He worked very hard for the Zhen Mansion and never had any complaints.
However, in Gao Fei's eyes, these people have no use value. They are completely a burden for him to leave Wei. If he really encounters any danger, Gao Fei will have to temporarily abandon them and take Zhen Mi alone.
Gone.
"Definitely!"
A fast horse came from the north river bank towards the place where Gao Fei and others were resting. The man on the horse was Gan Ning.
In the past two days, Gan Ning was also exhausted. He temporarily acted as a scout, constantly inquiring about the situation ahead in order to determine whether to continue moving forward.
Gan Ning turned over and dismounted, came to Gao Fei's side again, clasped his fists and said: "Master, there are no obstacles in front of us. The gate of Linying city is closed tightly and it is completely on alert. I heard that Yangcheng was attacked by an unknown cavalry force."
The team was looted, and the road from Yangzhai to Yangcheng was full of burned houses, scattered corpses, and trampled farmland..."
After hearing Gan Ning's report, Gao Fei said: "You go and rest. There is no need to go out to inquire in the past two days. I think this is the time for us to reach the Wei border unimpeded..."
"Master, isn't this subordinate very understanding?"
"This is very simple, because that mysterious cavalry team of a hundred people has attracted enough attention from Xu Shu, and we are simply insignificant compared to those mysterious cavalry teams that burned, killed and looted. Let's just go our own way. About three days later,
Then we can reach Xuanyuan Pass, and then we will find a way to pass Xuanyuan Pass, enter the old capital of Luoyang, and then cross the Yellow River north to Yan State."
After Gan Ning listened to Gao Fei's explanation, he nodded and said, "I understand, I will go and rest now so that I can recuperate and show off my skills at Xuanyuan Pass."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "Well, you go ahead."
After Gan Ning left, Gao Fei's smiling face immediately changed color, and he became a little more sad. He thought to himself: "Who is that mysterious cavalry team that actually appeared in the territory of Wei to burn, kill, and loot?"
