After receiving the news that Chen Dao went to Hanzhong alone to persuade Ma Chao, Guo Jia shook his head: "Ma Chao is fierce and will never surrender with just a few words. If Chen comes here, he will be in trouble!"
"What does Fengxiao mean? Will Ma Chao take action against Chen Dao?" Jia Xu asked hurriedly: "Now, Cao Cao and Han Sui have fallen into the trap and want to keep Ma Chao in Hanzhong. Ma Chao is outnumbered, so it is good to persuade him.
At that time, why did Fengxiao say that there was more misfortune than good?"
Guo Jia quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, harm is impossible. If you want to win over Ma Chao, you can only win with force. Ma Chao is known as the most powerful general in Xiliang and has few opponents in his life. Although Chen Dao is good at martial arts, it is difficult to compete with Ma Chao.
To counterbalance, if Ma Chao wants to surrender, one of his generals needs to go to Hanzhong. If Ma Chao is defeated, Ma Chao will definitely surrender."
"Boss! Let me go!" Dian Wei hurriedly stood up and raised his iron halberd: "When I see Ma Chao, I will kill him with my halberd and save him the trouble!"
Long Fei ignored him, but looked at Guo Jia: "Who is suitable for Fengxiao?"
Zhao Yun stood up and said: "Brother, let me go! All the generals have made great achievements in battle. I have been staying in Xiangyang for so many years, and my martial arts are a little rusty. I will definitely capture Ma Chao and take Hanzhong."
"With two generals going there, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!" Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly and smiled slightly.
Long Fei understood that this was Guo Jia's original plan. Although Hanzhong was small, it was of great importance. If Hanzhong was taken, Xiliang and Chang'an could be attacked. By taking these two places, half of the Han Dynasty would be in his hands, so that he could compete with Cao Cao.
Challenge. Chang'an borders Cao Cao. If there is no handsome man stationed there, Cao Cao will definitely seize the opportunity. After so many years of training, Zhao Yun has made great progress in both martial arts and military skills. Among the Longfei Group, only Zhao Yun is suitable.
Long Fei nodded: "Okay! Then I'll give my second brother a hard time and order you to lead 30,000 troops to Jiameng Pass, together with Xu Shu and Xian Yufu, to capture Hanzhong! Is Zhang Yinzhen here? I'll order you to be the deputy general to help my second brother.
!”
Zhang Ren stood up in a hurry: "General, I have received your order. Please rest assured, King Chu. General, I will definitely assist my junior brother in taking Hanzhong and threatening Xiliang!"
The army set off in a mighty manner. Just after passing Chengdu, Chen Dao's letter arrived. Just as Guo Jia had guessed, Ma Chao was arrogant and arrogant, and made big promises, saying that as long as someone could defeat him, he would voluntarily give up Hanzhong. Zhao Yun knew that the matter was urgent, so he
He went straight to Jiameng Pass without stopping. Xian Yufu and others went out of the city to greet him. Zhao Yun announced Long Fei's order and ordered the army to go to Jiange.
Xu Shu led Pang De to greet him. Zhao Yun saw that Pang De had an extraordinary appearance and knew that he was also a brave general, so he made him a general and stayed under his tent to serve. The army did not stop and directly approached the Hanzhong City. The black dragon army was in Hanzhong City.
Spread out, the Ma Jiajun on the city took a breath of cold air. The dragon army's formation was regular, and there was a hint of murderous aura in their actions.
Ma Chao went up to the city to take a look and laughed loudly: "Okay! Sure enough, we are here! Go and ask them who sent them?"
Some soldiers pointed to the high-flying battle flag: "Looking at the flag, it should be Zhao Yun. It seems that the only person named Zhao in Long Fei's tent is like this!"
"Very good! Long Fei is really generous! Since Lu Bu's death, this Zhao Yun has been known as the best general in the world. Come on! Prepare your horses, I want to know this Zhao Yun!" Ma Chao came down from the city with a big smile.
The city gate opened, and Ma Chao came out of the city with only a handful of personal guards to fight back, which was quite heroic. Ma Chao pointed his spear and said, "That's Zhao Yun, come out and fight San Bai He with me, let's see if the number one in the world is worthy of his reputation!"
Before Zhao Yun could speak, a general rode out. It was the Southern Barbarian Army general Wu Tu Gu. Wu Tu Gu relied on his invulnerable body to fight through the formation with the protection of rattan armor. The mace danced in his hand.
: "Ma Chao, kid, don't be so arrogant. You can't kill a chicken with a sledgehammer. Let's see your unruly grandpa take your life!"
Ma Chao sneered and swung the spear in his palm, making it easier for Wu Tu Gu to stand in one place. After three or two rounds, Wu Tu Gu was already tired and panting. If he wasn't careful, he was hit in the waist by Ma Chao's spear, and his whole body fell.
Ma Chao dismounted his horse. Ma Chao saw the opportunity and stabbed Wu Tu Gu with his spear. Suddenly he heard the sound of a bowstring and quickly swung his spear to block. An arrow hit the barrel of the spear without missing a beat.
"That despicable guy actually fired a cold arrow!" Ma Chao cursed, and turned around to look for Wu Tu Gu, but he had disappeared. Ma Chao said loudly: "I thought the Dragon Army were all upright men, but I didn't expect that they were all robbers with wine sacks and rice sacks, and the crowing of chickens and dogs.
You despicable villain, that’s all I think! Zhao Yun still won’t come out?”
Zhao Yun took a breath and handed the token and arrow to Zhang Ren: "Brother, please keep it for me. I'll come as soon as I go!" He clamped the jade lion between his legs, and the war horse immediately understood. The soldiers in the front row separated, and Zhao Yun appeared single-handedly at Ma Chao's side.
In front of me, Ma Chaoman called Jin Machao. Naturally, he has a good appearance and a good figure. But compared with Zhao Yun, he is much inferior.
Zhao Yun is wearing silver armor and a silver spear, with a jade lion shining on his crotch, and his whole body is completely white. His face is as powdered, his lips are as if they were greased, his big eyes, and his nose are high. He can't find anything wrong with anyone. Zhao Yun rides up to Ma Chao.
, raised his hands and saluted: "General Ma is mighty, Zhao Yun is polite!"
Ma Chao looked up and down: "I didn't expect that Zhao Yun, the best in the world, would act like a big girl. If you are really a woman, I will take you back to be my wife, hahaha...!"
Zhao Yun also smiled slightly: "General Ma said that as long as someone wins, you will give up Hanzhong. Does this count?"
"Zhao! A manly man means what he says!" Ma Chao kept his smile and kept his composure. He was also a master, and it could be seen that Zhao Yun's martial arts had reached its peak, and he had reached the level of restrained vigilance. Although he spoke politely, he was absolutely perfect in his actions.
Zhao Zhao is fatal.
"Okay! General Ma, please!" Zhao Yun made a gesture of invitation, and suddenly his whole body shook. His whole body swelled up instantly, and his eyes radiated light. The murderous aura emanating from his whole body forced Ma Chao's horse to retreat.
Half a step later, Zhao Yun held the spear with both hands and shouted: "Come on! General Ma, please take action!"
Ma Chao felt a trace of fear in his heart. Although it was fleeting, it had never happened before. The man in front of him was a master he had never seen before. Ma Chao gritted his teeth, shouted loudly, and jumped towards him with his horse and spear.
Zhao Yun. When the two of them started to attack, there was no sound at all, not even the sound of weapons clashing. Everyone saw only the shadows of guns flying around, but not the two men, and even the war horses disappeared.
Two white masses were spinning in the field. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, not knowing what the outcome would be. After a full incense stick, a soft tinkling sound was heard in the ears.
The sound was crisp and clear, as if something was broken. Under the sunlight, an inch-long object flew out from the two white shadows with golden light, and hit the shield of a sword-and-shielder with a loud sound.
. I saw the sword-and-shield wielder flying back more than ten steps and lying on the ground without getting up for a long time.
A burst of smoke dissipated, and Bai Ying stopped moving. Looking at the scene again, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao stood opposite each other, both holding their own weapons. Ma Chao had sweat on his forehead, and Zhao Yun was panting. People who looked carefully could clearly see Ma Chao's spear.
The tip of the spear disappeared. Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "General Ma, do you still want to compete?"
Ma Chao smiled: "The reputation of the best general in the world is indeed not in vain. I, Ma Chao, am convinced! Come on! Open the city gate to welcome the Dragon Army into the city!"
The city of Hanzhong was filled with cheers. Everyone would be happy if there was no war. Both the soldiers and the people wanted peace in the world, but there is no peace in these troubled times. Now, in this situation, war is about to break out, but it is really gratifying that the danger has been averted with the dialogue between the two generals.
Congratulations. Chen Dao took a deep breath and smiled at Ma Yunlu. The gate of Hanzhong City opened, and Zhao Yun and Ma Chao entered the city side by side.
Hanzhong was captured without bloodshed. Some were happy, while others were worried. Han Sui from Xiliang covered his face, not knowing what to say. According to his understanding of Ma Chao, this boy is a master who would rather break than bend. If Ma Chao and Long Fei were in Hanzhong
After a big battle, he could take the opportunity to rush into Hanzhong and capture Hanzhong. So he sent Cheng Yi and Yang Qiu to Tianshui in case of emergency. But he never expected that Ma Chao would surrender, or
They surrendered without spending a single soldier. This was a big departure from my plan.
Son-in-law Yan Xing brought Han Sui a cup of tea and comforted him: "Father-in-law, don't worry. Although Long Fei captured Hanzhong, his goal is Chang'an. We are in the bitter cold of Xiliang. It's useless for Long Fei to take it! As long as we show our enemies."
If we are weak, Long Fei shouldn't take action! Besides, we still have one hundred thousand soldiers and horses in hand, which is our capital to negotiate with Long Fei."
Han Sui shook his head: "Long Fei is not Cao Cao. Long Fei is a man with far-sighted vision. He will never allow anyone under his rule to have troops and respect himself. Even the group of people who followed him to conquer the world can only have ten thousand people under one general. Ten of us
With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he let go of Liangzhou?"
"Then let's form an alliance with Cao Cao and fight against Long Fei!" Yan Xing came up with another idea.
Han Sui still shook his head: "Alliance with Cao Cao? Cao Cao can't protect himself now. He's been suppressed repeatedly by Long Fei. It's hard to protect himself, so how can he have time to counterattack? Let alone save us!"
"I have a plan to make Long Fei dare not underestimate me, Xiliang!" Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a low-level employee in the corner said calmly while drinking.
Han Sui took a look. He was too far away to see the man's appearance. But since someone said he had an idea, it might as well listen: "This gentleman is..."
Yan Xing said quickly: "My father-in-law, this person is Mr. Ma Yima whom I rescued last time in Hanzhong. Seeing that he had some talent, I asked him to do a job. My father-in-law knows this."
"Ma Yi!" Han Sui said hurriedly: "If Mr. Ma can save our millions of people in Xiliang, Han Sui is willing to worship Mr. Ma as his military advisor. From now on, one person will be half of Xiliang!"
Everyone was surprised that Han Sui made such a promise. However, Ma Yi was not excited at all and said calmly: "There is only one way out to save Liangzhou, and that is war!"
