The horseman was tired and sleepy, but he did not dare to stay and rest too much.
Because he was worried that once he started to rest, he would not be able to catch up with Han Sui.
Jincheng is no longer his own Jincheng, it has become the Jincheng of Han Sui, the old thief.
Once the old thief Han Sui enters Jincheng, relying on the defeated troops gathered by his men, it is impossible to break up Jincheng and kill the old thief Han Sui.
The only chance is to resolve the matter before the old thief Han Sui comes to Jincheng!
The defeated troops were also tired, hungry, and sleepy. They did not have Ma Chao's strong belief in revenge in their hearts, so they fell behind as they walked.
Of course, some people deliberately fall behind.
They were too tired and did not want to follow Ma Chao desperately.
After all, there can only be a few people who are ambitious. The majority are ordinary people who want to live a good life...
Ma Chao ignored this man at this time and just rushed to Jincheng.
After most of the night, there were only less than four hundred people around him.
After a quick night's journey, when we were less than ten miles away from Jincheng, there were already less than a hundred people around us.
Not everyone can compare with the soldiers led by Liu Cheng.
In the equally arduous forced march, the team led by Liu Cheng was able to keep up, but Ma Chao's team could not.
In other words, not just Ma Chao's, but most of the teams led by other people in this era cannot do this.
At least not to the extent that Liu Cheng led his troops.
"Young Master, during this journey, I have not seen any traces left by the old thief Han Sui. It seems that the old thief has not come to Jincheng..."
Someone on the side said this, trying to persuade Ma Chao not to go to Jincheng, but to go to Cangcheng instead.
Han Sui had explained several times before that he did not capture Jincheng...
This is of course not because they think Han Sui is not in Jincheng, but because they are mainly worried that they only have so few people now and Jincheng will be occupied by Han Sui again.
Even if the young master is very skilled in martial arts, he will not be able to fight with such a small number of people.
In the past, he was either fighting with Han Sui or delivering food to him.
It is better to go to Cangcheng, where you can be sure that you have your own strength and people.
Only after this time passes will you feel safe.
At least I have a place to stay, and some soldiers and horses that have not been used before...
But his proposal was rejected again by Ma Chao.
"We are already here, no matter what, we have to go to Jincheng for a visit.
Jincheng is the foothold of my Ma family.
Although Han Sui used insidious tactics to seize it, our Ma family has been operating there for many years. There are some things that Han Sui, the old thief, cannot eliminate in a short time.
As long as I go over and reveal my identity, it’s not like I have no chance of winning!”
Ma Chao stood astride his horse and held his gun, saying this.
"Everyone, after killing Han Sui, our work will be completed.
Although our Ma family suffered a miserable defeat this time, we can still do something to give you a fortune!"
Ma Chao looked at the few people and said this.
Hearing what Ma Chao said, these people stopped talking and began to follow Ma Chao towards Jincheng...
By this time the sky was getting brighter.
The closer they got to Jincheng, the stranger Ma Chao and others felt. After this strange feeling existed in their hearts for a while, they finally realized what was strange!
According to their understanding of Han Sui's troops and horses, the other party had attacked Jincheng, and they and other large troops were at Aotou Pass. There was no power to restrict them here, and they could do whatever they wanted here.
He will definitely do whatever he wants.
But now, as they traveled along the way, they didn't see any villages or towns that were burned, killed, and looted.
If the place they were in before was too far away from Jincheng, and these people were afraid of danger and did not go to such a far place to cause trouble, now I and others had reached a place ten miles away from Jincheng.
It's not far from Jincheng at all.
But the villages here are still intact, with no signs of destruction!
This is not common sense at all!
"Is it possible that the previous intelligence was wrong? Wasn't Jincheng captured by Han Sui's thieves? Someone else captured Jincheng?"
Among the Xiliang soldiers accompanying Ma Chao, some people couldn't help but say this.
Hearing this, Ma Chao thought for a moment and shook his head: "Probably not, the information my brother desperately sent over will not be false.
Moreover, even if it was not Han Sui who captured Jincheng and Jincheng was captured by others, it would be impossible for the outside to be so peaceful and there would be no burning, killing, and looting."
Ma Chao's words were recognized by everyone.
Things are exactly as Ma Chao said.
To be fair, even if the Golden City is captured by them, there will still not be such stability outside the Golden City at this time.
Things have become confusing and confusing...
Ma Chao and the others came to a village, forced open the doors of two houses, and asked the trembling people what was going on in Jincheng.
The people couldn't understand it either.
It only means that Jincheng has been completely closed down since some time ago.
People inside are not allowed to come out, and people outside are not allowed to enter.
Sometimes, some soldiers would leave the city, but they would not come to places like villages...
It would be better not to ask this question, which made Ma Chao and the others even more confused.
Someone under Ma Chao persuaded him again, saying that it would be better to go to Cangcheng.
The situation here in Jincheng seems confusing. Maybe what Han Sui said before was the truth.
But Ma Chao just didn't listen.
"Let's go. If you don't understand, let's stop guessing. Don't worry about what's going on there. As long as we go there, we'll know."
With that said, he rode straight towards Jincheng.
Ma Chao was not afraid, but those who followed Ma Chao were.
Many people are regretting why they and others did not take the opportunity to escape last night.
As a result, now I have to follow this guy Ma Chao to Jincheng to die.
With this thought in mind, someone soon started walking slower and slower, and then took the opportunity to escape...
Looking at Jincheng in the distance, looking at the closed gates of Jincheng and the soldiers standing on the city wall, Ma Chao couldn't help but be deeply touched.
Although the flag on the Golden City is still the original flag, it still looks like it is in their hands.
As a result, he could not judge what force occupied Jincheng through the flag, but after seeing those figures standing on Jincheng, an idea appeared in his mind that made him feel that it was absolutely impossible!
"Guanzhong soldiers!"
Ma Chao squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.
He felt that the soldiers standing on the Golden City were very similar to the Guanzhong soldiers at Aotou Pass.
"Isn't it possible?
Unless the soldiers in Guanzhong have wings, it is absolutely impossible for them to come to Jincheng!"
Someone nearby who was following Ma Chao spoke out in denial.
Ma Chao's words made him feel incredible.
This kind of thing cannot happen no matter what.
However, after thinking of all the unusual things they had seen before, they seemed to hesitate again after saying this.
In today's situation, perhaps only this situation that they think is the most impossible is possible...
"Let's go, keep moving forward."
Ma Chao greeted behind him.
This time, even the most staunch followers before became hesitant.
If the rest of the people occupy Jincheng, they may be able to muster the courage to follow.
But now, after learning that the person occupying Jincheng was most likely a soldier from Guanzhong, they became hesitant and did not dare to step forward...
Ma Chao didn't care about this, he just stepped forward and stopped less than 400 steps away from the east gate of Jincheng.
From this distance, one can clearly see the faces of the people on the city wall.
"I am Han Pao, the general of Wuwei Prefect Han. I finally escaped all the way. Please let me in quickly to see Prefect Han!"
Ma Chao shouted loudly and made up a false identity.
After Jincheng, Liu Cheng had already received the news from Li Yan from Cangcheng.
At this time, he was on the east wall of the Golden City.
Two days before receiving the news from Li Yan, he followed Zhao Yun to Aotou Pass and asked Zhao Yun to send back the five people who delivered the latest news. After the five people came back, Liu Chenggong already knew that Han Sui and Ma Teng were about to be defeated.
Therefore, when I have nothing to do in the past two days, I like to wander around Aotou Pass.
When he heard Ma Chao's made-up words, a smile appeared on his face.
Combining various situations he knew, he had already figured out some flavor.
He said something to a soldier from Liangzhou on the side, and then a voice rang out: "I have never heard of such a general under my lord. Don't make false boasts when you speak, nor boast about the commander's command or anything like that."
Become a general.
The Lord entered the city last night and went to Wuwei. He informed us that he would pick up the brothers who would come back later.
Now that you have revealed your identity, come quickly."
As he said this, a bucket was lowered from the Golden City.
When Ma Chao saw this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He felt that what he did just now was very clever, but he did not expect that the people above the Golden City did something even more shameless.
Are you trying to take advantage of the situation and trick yourself into being captured?
"Look at you, you just said you were going to the city, and now that the bucket has been put down for you, you don't dare to come over. Why are you so difficult to take care of?"
After hearing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but cursed shamelessly, and then asked: "Who are you waiting for? Are you from Guanzhong?"
"Are you from Ma Teng? Have you been causing trouble here?
No wonder you don’t dare to come up, you’re afraid we’ll capture you!”
Above Jincheng, they are still misleading Ma Chao, trying to lure Ma Chao up.
Ma Chao took a breath and said: "I am Xiliang Ma Chao, who are you waiting for? You actually attacked Jincheng secretly, and now you dare to hide your head and tail like this and dare not tell your true identity?"
Above Jincheng, when Liu Cheng saw this, he stopped teasing Ma Chao and said in person: "Say my name, I'll scare you! I am Linglingshang...I am Liu Cheng and Liu Kede!"
Liu Cheng thought about imitating Lingling General Xing Daorong in reporting his name, but in the end, he almost even named Xing Daorong.
Fortunately, I stopped in time to change my words, and changed it at the last moment.
When he heard Liu Cheng say, "Say my name, I'll scare you," Ma Chao sneered silently in his heart, and directly regarded Liu Cheng as some little shrimp who didn't know the heights of the sky.
I'm waiting for you to scare me!
Do you really think that I, Ma Chao, am scared?
He waited for Liu Cheng to say his name with a sneer in his heart.
Then……
"What the hell?!"
Ma Chao's whole body was full of alertness, his eyes widened instantly, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble violently, and he almost fell off his horse.
He couldn't help but utter a word he had learned when he was fighting against Guanzhong soldiers and horses at Aotou Pass.
Used to express one's shock.
Apart from this word, he couldn't find any other words to describe his mood at this moment.
He was really frightened at this time. He really didn't expect that the guy above Jincheng who he regarded as a little hottie would actually say this name.
Even if that guy said that he was the emperor, or that he was the emperor, he would never be as surprised as he is now.
But this guy happened to say the name Liu Cheng and Liu Kede at this time!
If he had heard this person say this name before, Ma Chao would definitely not believe it.
I feel that this person is talking nonsense and is deceiving him.
But now, Ma Chao has noticed a lot of extraordinary things.
I have vaguely guessed that what happened here in Jincheng was most likely caused by people in Guanzhong.
But at this time, the man said that he was Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, which was exactly what he had guessed.
"Stop talking nonsense and pretentiousness here!
You say this to scare people!
If you were Liu Cheng, could you grow wings so that you could fly all the way here?"
This statement may be true or false. Originally, Ma Chao wanted to use this method to apply a set of words from Jincheng to verify his thoughts.
But after speaking out, a puzzling thing in his mind suddenly became clear.
That was why his second brother fled all the way and came to Aotou Pass, saying that Jincheng was captured by Han Sui.
I'm afraid that my second brother had the same mentality as me at that time, and he didn't believe that it was the soldiers from Guanzhong who came to do such a thing.
Subconsciously, I concluded that it was Han Sui who falsely claimed that he was acting as a military force in Guanzhong...
"Hahaha……"
After Ma Chao's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter on the walls of Jincheng.
Many of the soldiers who came with Liu Cheng were very happy and were amused by Ma Chao...
"I am Liu Cheng, Uncle Liu, and I will not change my name to him.
No one here in Guanzhong would dare to impersonate this name."
Liu Cheng said with a smile.
Then he said: "Brothers, show us our flag!"
After hearing Liu Cheng's words, someone immediately showed up a flag.
This is a black tiger flag.
The wind blew, the black tiger flag moved with the wind, and the black tiger looking up to the sky and roaring seemed to come to life.
After the black tiger flag was displayed, the soldiers above the Golden City were in awe, and the laughing and joking soldiers became serious and looked at the flag with extra solemnity.
Although there is no sound, the fighting spirit and cohesion are constantly rising!
"I don't believe that flags can be faked!"
Ma Chao, who already believed that the person in front of him was Liu Cheng, said stiffly.
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "How can you believe it?"
Ma Chao said: "Fight with me and win the gun in my hand!"
