Ma Teng was not at home, and Ma Yunlu was sent to Zhao Yun's place again. Ma Chao had no one to take care of him above the house, and there was no sister to harass him below. He invited Sun Ce if he wanted to invite him, and when he got Sun Ce home, he held a banquet in the middle hall.
"By the way, why do you have time to see me? I heard that you guys were making jingling bells on the Yangtze River some time ago?" Ma Chao asked with a smile on his face.
"Don't mention it." Sun Ce said angrily, "My second brother and I went together and we didn't even deal with each other." After saying that, Sun Ce drank a bottle of wine.
"Zhou Gongjin?" Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, "Zhou Gongjin, who is third in the world, also has some grievances. Although I can't stand his expressions and actions, the wisdom he displayed wouldn't be ridiculous, otherwise.
You won’t be able to own one-third of the world now.”
Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai were frightened when they heard this. They looked at Sun Ce with strange eyes. This guy who was almost the same age as his brother actually owned one-third of the world. This was terrible.
.
"Don't mention it. That bastard Gong Jin didn't want to fight that battle. He was dragged by me and arranged a few moves. As a result, Gong Jin went back after the battle. And I really couldn't stand Jing Xiang's behavior.
It's a boring place. I heard that there are Huns in the north, so I'll kill some of them." Sun Ce said with a frantic look on his face. The loss this time was obviously because Zhou Yu didn't try his best.
"Are you going to fight the Huns? Where are your soldiers?" Ma Chao twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
"Do you think I can bring troops here? I have a hundred thousand strong soldiers, but I have to be able to bring them here." Sun Ce said angrily, and he had no intention of hiding it in front of Ma Chao.
"You're not afraid of something happening!" Ma Chao opened his mouth and said after a long silence, "You must know that although you and Cao Sikong have formed an alliance, you two have a lot of hatred, and you are so arrogant on Cao Sikong's territory. If you are
Found it.”
"It's nothing, just don't tell me. I believe you." Sun Ce's tone sounded like a second-rate guy, leaving Ma Chao speechless.
"Stop it, you bastard..." Ma Chao said angrily, causing light blue electric sparks to appear all over his body.
"It doesn't matter. Come to Jiangdong later and I'll protect you." Sun Ce said nonchalantly.
However, this kind of second-rate tone made Ma Chao feel the sincerity in it. Sun Ce did what he said, and this impressive momentum even made Ma Chao a little moved.
He turned his head and looked at his three brothers, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie, and Ma Dai. They all looked at Sun Ce with respect, and even Pang De had a look of respect on his face.
"It's the same thing, how could I tell others, but what's the use of coming here alone? Do you want to deal with the Huns alone?" Ma Chao curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"Well, do you know how I defeated Liu Biao in the first place?" Sun Ce suddenly said with a smile.
Ma Chao shook his head, and then Sun Ce slowly said, to put it simply, he was walking along the river. Various civil servants and generals automatically led their troops to join him, and the **** water bandits directly hugged his thigh. When there were no civil servants,
Civil servants came by boat, and when there was a shortage of generals, the generals came with their troops.
After listening to Sun Ce's explanation, Ma Chao felt a little numb. What kind of luck and charm is this? This face is too scary.
"Ahem, cough, cough, you don't come to Sili with such thoughts, do you?" Ma Chao said twitchingly, saying that if Sun Ce had such a face, it would be possible for him to pick up people on the road without any soldiers.
If you pick it up, you might be able to gather enough people to go all the way.
"No, that kind of thing is usually something you don't ask for. I only picked up four guys along the way, and I can't even fight them." Sun Ce rolled his eyes and said, "But I'll give them some when I come to Chang'an.
The money allowed them to go to the inn."
"Well, there are really people who seek refuge with you." Ma Chao said with a smile, what kind of luck is this.
"Only two of them came to me. One of the other two was picked up by me on the road, and one was tied up and captured by me because of a conflict with me." Sun Ce said angrily, "But the cow I tied up was
Jin still has some strength, but the other three can't fight."
"By the way, why did they turn to you?" Ma Chao asked curiously. Regardless of this damn luck, first explain to me why the other party turned to you.
"Let me think about it, the first Yan Wen who came to me was met while drinking tea. I invited him to drink tea and chatted for a while, and he decided to come to me." Sun Ce thought for a while and said
Really, he usually doesn't understand why some people want to take refuge in him for no reason, but as long as they take refuge in him, he will accept them happily and trustingly.
"The second one, Su Ze, is in a similar situation. After a meal, he wanted to join me, so I accepted him." Sun Ce said matter-of-factly.
"The third one was when I was approaching Chang'an, there were bandits killing people. I killed the bandits and picked up a guy named Jia Kui. Then the guy said that I helped him and he must return the favor to me.
So he followed me, I think he probably didn't have money to find a guard." Sun Ce said angrily, not satisfied with any of the four guys he picked up along the way.
"I think you are already very powerful, but there are only five of you, how can you defeat the Huns?" Ma Chao asked with curiosity.
"Don't I still have you? I came to you just to borrow three to five thousand cavalry from you." Sun Ce said unceremoniously, and Ma Chao almost burst out in anger.
"What did you say?" Ma Chao looked at Sun Ce in disbelief and said.
"Borrow three to five thousand cavalry." Sun Ce said again.
"Do you know what three to five thousand cavalry means?" Ma Chao said with a smile, "Besides, how much supplies do three to five thousand cavalry require for people to eat and chew horses every day?"
"Uh..." Sun Ce looked confused. This kind of thing was handled by Zhou Yu in the past. His job was to beat people.
"I saw that you sent me a lot of horses. I thought you had a lot of cavalry here." Sun Ce said with some embarrassment, "The north is a grassland after all. Without cavalry, I can't fight."
"There are so many horses. As long as you want to catch them, a large group of wild horses will appear on the grassland from time to time. I don't know why. Anyway, there have been more and more wild horses on the grassland since more than ten years ago." Ma Chao said angrily,
"But cavalry is different!"
Sun Ce looked puzzled, and Ma Chao sighed and said, "Let's put it this way, even in the north, Cao Sikong and Liu Taiwei combined, the number of cavalry that can truly be called cavalry, rather than mounted infantry, is probably only 50,000. As for foreigners,
The cavalry, except for the Xiongnu, including the Qiang people under my command, are all just attached mounted infantry."
