Guo Bang pointed at the wounds on his body and asked questions, which made Zhang Ji and Fan Chou couldn't help but think of the prosperous years in the past. Thinking about the gap between the four of them now, they couldn't help but feel a little sad. Back then, they were all blocking each other's swords.
Brother, when did it become like this?
"We are brothers, brothers who can block each other's knives!" Guo Bang stretched out his hand and looked at the two of them, "Maybe we had bad thoughts before due to various reasons and accidents, but that was just because of some
We all understand each other's loyalty despite the estrangement caused by trivial matters! We are still brothers!"
"Ah Duo, just tell me." Zhang Ji stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of Guo Bang's hand, "I did have other thoughts, but if you say so, I am willing to believe you, no matter what you say this time, I am willing to believe it!
We are brothers!"
"Me too, I want to believe you." Fan Chou also stretched out his hand and pulled off his armor, "I believe that my comrades protected by scars will not stab me in the back. I believe in you, I believe in you."
Zhang, I also believe in Lao Li!" After saying this, Fan Chou let out a long sigh of relief.
"Hahahaha, these are the brothers!" Guo Bang laughed and said, "Zhiran has already figured out a way to solve the food problem. We don't have to worry about the food problem in the future. There will be a gap between us in the beginning.
Isn’t it just because of the problem of food for our soldiers?”
"Aduo, are you kidding me?" Zhang Ji looked at Guo Si with his eyes wide open in disbelief, "Can Zhi Ran solve this matter?"
Guo Bang laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out, "It's true, it's true, that's why I'm here. Zhiran asked me to say something to you, 'It was all him who was wrong before', but I don't want to say it,
I’m all wrong myself, I can’t say this! I don’t think you want to hear this either!”
Fan Chong was speechless. He was very familiar with Li Jue. They had known each other for decades. Naturally, he knew that this man was stingy, but very loyal. His words meant that the other party really wanted to take the blame on himself.
.
"Old Zhang, don't think about it. Our Xiliang Army can dominate the world only with one heart. Without Prime Minister Dong, we are still the invincible elite. Even if we are in desperate situation, the Xiliang Army is still the undefeated strongest in the world."
Soldiers!" Guo Si laughed wildly, and then slowly told the whole plan to the two of them.
"It turns out everything is so simple..." Zhang Ji said with a bitter smile. If he had a choice, he could let his nephew submit to others? It was precisely because he could not see the way out for the Xiliang Army that Zhang Ji made such a choice, and now Zhang Ji is too
It couldn't be clearer that as long as there is food and the original Xiliang army is gathered together, even if he dies, with the support of Li Jue and others, Zhang Xiu will be fine.
"Yes, some things are very simple, but we never thought of it." Fan Chou said with a bitter smile, "Without the military advisor, we only have an undefeated military force, but we have no way to show it. Now we are still in unrest internally.
Forget it, let the past things be past, we Xiliang soldiers must remain as monolithic as before. The letter the military advisor left us was to unite us as one!"
"We directly sent troops to surround the Qiang soldiers. If they were not convinced, we killed Han Wenyue and Ma Shoucheng." Guo Bang said with a smile, "Lao Zhang asked your nephew to be the vanguard, and we will kill all these troublesome bastards.
.”
"Forget it if we kill Han Wenyu, but let Ma Shoucheng go. We need the Qiang people to dig the Zhengguo Canal and Liufu Canal. If Ma Shoucheng dies, we still need to fight with the Qiang people in Fufeng and Sanfu. It's not worth it." Zhang
Ji's vision is better than that of Li Jue, so naturally he can think of what Li Jue can think of.
"Trouble!" Guo Si said unhappily.
"Let's follow what Zhiran said. Fortunately, Zhiran reacted quickly. If it had been a year later, we estimate..." Fan Chou didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he had some lingering fears. If it had been a little later, even if Guo Si did this, there would be no way to recover.
!
"Yes, be courteous first and then fight. If they don't obey the command, we will kill them." Zhang Ji's eyes also flashed a ruthless light. If the Xiliang army can be restored, his nephew Zhang Xiu will lead 350,000 Qiang cavalry.
It's not a problem to become a cavalryman. He spent his entire life just for his nephew!
"Just do it like this. If it doesn't work, just destroy them. No matter how much prestige they have among the Qiang people, what's the use? I don't believe that food will not make the Qiang people surrender!" Guo Bang still holds the idea of exterminating Ma Teng. It can be seen that
He seemed to hate Ma Teng for some unknown reason.
The next day, Zhang Xiu followed Sima Lang to Ma Tengjun's camp to discuss peace. Zhang Xiu followed him because he was confident that no one would dare to do anything in front of him. After all, under the cloudy atmosphere of the military formation at that time, the situation of Kai Wushuang mowing grass really frightened Ma Tengjun.
The other one is also worried that if they fail to negotiate with Ma Teng this time, Han Sui will directly become murderous. With Zhang Xiu here, they will definitely not stop Ma Teng from leaving.
"General Zhang, I heard that you once single-handedly fought two masters who had internal Qi separated from the body, and defeated them." Sima Lang smiled and chatted with Zhang Xiu on the road. Talking about Zhang Xiu's classic achievements, Sima Lang couldn't help but look...
admire.
"It's true!" Zhang Xiu said with a smile, but a little conceited. After all, he and Lu Bu were the only two unscathed masters of inner energy separation in the world today. He couldn't help but feel proud.
.
"In this way, Lang doesn't have any worries when he goes to the enemy camp." Sima Lang said with a smile, "If we can't reach an agreement then, please ask the general to help us."
"It's easy to talk, I'm here to make sure you're fine!" Zhang Xiu said arrogantly. It's not that he underestimates the Xiliang generals, but that although Ma Chao and Pang De are talented, their accumulation is too weak after all.
Sun Ce, who had just broken through at the beginning, was a little inferior, not to mention that he was taking a fierce and fierce route. When he encountered an opponent with high speed and skill like Zhang Xiu, he was suppressed in a few seconds.
"Thank you so much, General." Sima Lang said with a smile, and then started chatting with Zhang Xiu about the past in Chang'an.
The smile on Sima Lang's face made Zhang Xiu deeply satisfied, and naturally he was even more satisfied with him. In addition, Sima Lang had always wanted to make friends with Zhang Xiu, and the two of them were like a raging fire!
After just thirty miles, when they were approaching Ma Teng's military camp, Zhang Xiu, who didn't have many brain cells, took Sima Lang, who was dumbfounded, to knead a pile of soil on the spot, burn incense and pray to Jinlan.
"Stop whoever comes!" A group of nearly a hundred Qiang people came to Ma Teng's military camp and rushed up to surround Sima Lang and his party. The leading goalkeeper shouted.
"Go, tell Ma Shoucheng that I, Zhang Boyuan, have come to see him!" Zhang Xiu rode his horse to the front and looked at the goalkeeper with a sneer. Suddenly, the cold sweat on the backs of nearly a hundred Qiang people guarding the gate soaked through their armor.
"Hurry up!" Zhang Xiu saw that none of the guards moved. He was furious and roared. In an instant, all the guards rolled back to the military camp, crying for their fathers and mothers, "The gun king is here."
, the gun king is here..."
"Hahahaha~" Zhang Xiu burst out laughing when he saw the performance of the guards.
"Bo Yuan, your reputation is far-reaching! Even the guards were frightened to this extent when they saw you." Sima Lang turned his horse and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, I beat them up hard that time and snatched away the commander's flag. After that, I beat up a group of them every few days. Over time, it ended up like this." Zhang Xiu was slightly proud.
said.
"Zhang Boyuan, look at the gun!" Just when Zhang Xiu was proud, there was a violent roar, and he saw a young general wearing golden armor with a face like powder, eyes like shooting stars, lips like red, a tiger's body and ape's arms, a belly and a wolf's waist.
Rush over with a gun.
As Li Jue said, the Xiliang soldiers did not have much food, but they now had at least half a year's food, while the Qiang soldiers led by Ma Teng did not even have a month's food.
At this point, Ma Teng, Han Sui and the Eight Banner Generals had to consider retreating. However, because the Xiliang soldiers on the opposite side kept gritting their teeth and refused to retreat, Ma Teng and Han Sui were worried that an accidental retreat would turn into a major retreat.
After a big collapse, whether you can come back alive becomes a question.
After all, the Xiliang soldiers chasing each other one after another may cause huge trouble. If Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others accidentally seize the opportunity, relying on Zhang Xiu to lead the elite to intervene, it may not be possible to defeat the Qiang soldiers in one go!
However, no matter how dangerous it is, it is necessary to retreat. Ma Teng and Han Sui have made up their minds to retreat. Naturally, the news has also reached Ma Chao's ears, and the arrogant Ma Chao can't stand this kind of defeat after defeat.
, and finally retreated without even taking advantage.
Of course, more importantly, Ma Chao was dissatisfied. Ma Chao, who always thought he was a genius, was very dissatisfied with his consecutive defeats at the hands of Zhang Xiu, and even more dissatisfied with the result that he and Pang De attacked Zhang Xiu from both sides and could only be defeated.
At first, he thought that he was no match for him after he had just broken through the inner qi leaving the body. Later, after he completely mastered the method of inner qi leaving the body, he was still no match. This made Ma Chaoyue extremely angry.
However, Ma Chao firmly believed that he could defeat Zhang Xiu, so he was very dissatisfied with his father's plan to retreat. In his opinion, as long as he defeated Zhang Xiu, he could defeat the Xiliang army, and he had gradually begun to feel Zhang Xiu's plan.
Bottom.
Ma Chao and Ma Teng had a big quarrel over this, and finally Ma Chao left angrily. As a result, Ma Chao, who was relaxing outside, picked up a little curly red horse that didn't know what it had eaten and couldn't stand up. Out of kindness, Ma Chao helped
The little red horse induced vomiting and pulled out a stone.
After that, the curly little red horse clung to Ma Chao, and Ma Chao also felt that the horse was comfortable to ride. After he felt better, he rode the little red horse back. As a result, he encountered this situation at the camp gate just after returning to the camp.
Unable to calm down, Ma Chao immediately became furious and charged towards Zhang Xiu.
"Ding!" The moment Zhang Xiu saw Ma Chao coming, the spear in his right hand drew an arc towards Ma Chao. There was a bang, and Zhang Xiu, who was riding the horse, couldn't help but take five steps back, while riding a horse
Ma Chao, a curly red pony, slipped back three steps.
"Zhang Boyuan, suffer death!" After Ma Chao saw this scene, he patted the little red horse's neck, laughed wildly and rushed up with a gun.
Zhang Xiu frowned and stared at the little curly red horse. If he remembered correctly, Ma Chao had ridden something like this before.
"Ding!" There was another loud roar, but this time Zhang Xiu just shook, while Ma Chao felt a huge force coming and his hands went numb.
Immediately, Ma Chao no longer hesitated at all, and suddenly spurted out the golden inner energy from his body, and the little red horse under his crotch also burst out with fiery red inner energy, blending with Ma Chao's breath, and the whole person was enveloped in golden red.
.
"Ma Mengqi, I'm not interested in playing with you today." Zhang Xiu looked at the man and the horse with golden-red inner energy flowing on their bodies, feeling slightly apprehensive.
"Huh, I'm going to challenge you today!" Ma Chaoli ignored Zhang Xiu, clamped his horse's belly and rushed towards Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu had a dark face, and red and blue inner energy suddenly flowed out of his body, and then merged into purple, and rushed directly towards Ma Chao. As soon as the two met, there was a crazy explosion, and then Zhang Xiu spurted out inner energy.
Qi, he just tightened the reins, and the green horse under his crotch stepped directly into the air and flew into the sky.
"Shameless!" Zhang Xiu sneered again and again. He was not worried about seriously injuring Ma Chao here and there was no need to discuss the covenant today. In his opinion, as soon as Guo Si arrived, their strength had already surpassed the Qiang people.
If it's a big deal, push it over!
Zhang Xiu's spear almost danced into a round ball, and Ma Chao rode his horse and rushed directly towards Zhang Xiu. A line of fire went directly towards the purple light in the sky. The two of them clashed in the sky in an instant.
After nearly a hundred rounds, the explosions in the sky did not stop.
"Ma Chao, you're looking for death!" With a loud noise, Zhang Xiu's original purple light burst out like a firework, and then spread out like a golden silk chrysanthemum, and then gathered back again.
For a moment, the explosions were connected directly together, and the sound of the air tearing was chilling.
Then the two separated again. Zhang Xiu looked at the neck of the green horse under his crotch with heartache, and his eyes were almost on fire. His horse was actually bitten by the little red horse under Ma Chao's crotch.
"Hahaha, Zhang Xiu, you are nothing more than that!" At this moment, Ma Chao panted strongly, not hiding his weakness at all, but his eyes were shining with exciting brilliance!
Ma Chao tried his best to block the previous move, but he was not injured, and his horse was not injured, but Zhang Xiu's horse was injured. That was enough. The gloomy energy in Ma Chao's chest was reflected in this long smile.
It turned into nothing. He had never felt so good since he met Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed with cold light. He stopped talking nonsense with Ma Chao. All the purple energy in his body was absorbed into his own body. Only the gun was breathing purple brilliance. This horse had been following him for more than ten years. His master Tong Yuan gave it to him as a gift.
The gift given to him was originally just a matter of refining Qi into a gang, but now it has the strength to enter the inner Qi and leave the body for the first time. In the end, it was actually bitten by the horse under Ma Chao's crotch. Sure enough, he read it right!
Zhang Xiu pulled the reins, and his whole body turned into a purple line, rushing towards Ma Chao diagonally below, "Go to hell!"
Zhang Xiu stabbed Zhang Xiu with a spear. There were no fancy moves, just a mediocre shot. Ma Chao pointed the spear at Zhang Xiu. As a result, the two spears intersected. Ma Chao felt an unparalleled force coming directly. He held the spear
There was a clear explosion in his right arm, and before he could make any move, he flew backwards, and his whole body turned into a golden light!
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, like a meteorite falling to the ground. The place where Ma Chao hit it was suddenly dented in Sima Lang's eyes in disbelief. The next moment, dust was flying, and then the little red horse who was still in the air suddenly disappeared.
If Zhang Xiu makes any movement, it will directly turn into a line of fire and fly into the dust.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiu rode his horse down slowly and stared at the dusty place. Then he looked back and saw Ma Teng, Han Sui, Pang De and the Eight Banner Generals already in his field of vision.
Followed closely by a large number of Ma Teng and Han Sui's elite cavalry.
"Zhang Boyuan, are you going to fight with us?" Liang Xing said angrily when he saw the dust mist. They have now completely fallen to Ma Teng and Han Sui. One will be prosperous and one will suffer. Naturally, they cannot let Ma Chao
Something happened.
"Hmph, what qualifications do you have to ask me to fight! Someone asked me to die before, but I don't know if they are dead now!" Zhang Xiu sneered.
That's what he said, but Zhang Xiu already knew that Ma Chao only had a broken right arm bone and a few broken ribs. If he had been on land before, Ma Chao would definitely be dead, but in the air, Zhang Xiu crushed Fenghuang Qi with a nod.
It was a one-hit move, but because Ma Chao fell from his horse and kept controlling his body in the air, the huge force was reduced, and finally when it hit the ground, a few ribs were broken.
"You!" Liang Xing was furious, but he was afraid of Zhang Xiu's force and did not dare to take action.
"What are you doing? Except for Ma Mengqi and Pang Lingming, all of you are not enough for one of my hands!" Zhang Xiu said with a sneer.
The eight generals of Hatamoto, who suddenly used force to conquer Xiliang, turned pale, but they did not dare to fight Zhang Xiu, because the other party was telling the truth.
Although Ma Teng on the other side was eager, he was caught by Pound. After all, others did not know the power of inner energy leaving the body. Pound was still somewhat confident. Although the movement before was huge, after all, it was shot down from the air, and
If you didn't die in the air, you would still have a golden thread when you fall down, which means your inner energy is still there. At that speed, you will suffer a little, but you won't die.
Sure enough, when the smoke and dust cleared, a hand was stretched out from the big pit. The embarrassed Ma Chao leaned out half of his body, gritted his teeth and stood up with a long gun, and his right arm seemed to have lost control.
Drooping, blood dropped drop by drop, but Ma Chao's eyes were not afraid of Zhang Xiu, but only excited.
This time Ma Chao really felt Zhang Xiu's strength. With the last blow, Ma Chao clearly felt the unrivaled strength. But because of this, Ma Chao completely wiped away the shadow in his heart. Although Zhang Xiu is strong, he still has a limit.
, it is not bottomless! Although the goal is far away and the road is tortuous, after all, there is a way and a goal, and it is no longer the darkness before!
"Zhang Boyuan, for your gift today, I, Ma Chao, will definitely be richly rewarded in the future!" Ma Chao hobbled onto his little curly red horse with a spear in his hand, then gritted his teeth and pointed the spear in the direction of Zhang Xiu.
"Humph! You can wait until that day!" Zhang Xiu sneered repeatedly, then turned away from Ma Chao and stared at Ma Teng, who was leading the army and surrounded by clouds. He said, "General Ma is so incompetent in running the army, I, Zhang Boyuan, am
I came here as an envoy from Xiliang, but I was attacked like this. Is this how you Qiang people treat guests? You are indeed a Hu!"
Ma Teng's face turned pale. Zhang Xiu's words deeply hurt his heart. What Ma Teng is most proud of is that his ancestor is Fubo General Ma Yuan. Because of this, he has Qiang and Hu blood in his ancestors.
Only then could he claim to be an orthodox Han Chinese. What he hated the most was people saying that he was a Qiang and Hu barbarian and uncivilized. Zhang Xiu's words really hurt him and made him unable to refute.
"General Zhang, wait a moment!" Ma Teng took a deep breath, waved his horse's head, and his men immediately dispersed into two rows. He made a "please" gesture with his hand, and then looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile, "My son Meng Qi can't do it."
It's just that my hands are itching for a while. General, please invite me. There is already a banquet inside. Since the general is an envoy this time, please come to the camp for a chat."
"Okay!" Zhang Xiu took a look at the thin clouds due to the dispersion of the military formation and showed no fear at all. He patted the green horse under his crotch and walked directly inside. Sima Lang also followed with a wry smile.
Go up.
Soon we arrived at the main tent. Looking at Ma Teng and Han Sui who were sitting in the upper hand, and looking at the eight generals of the banner who were facing a formidable enemy, Zhang Xiu who was sitting on the side said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as no one teases me.
, I will not make any unnecessary moves today. This is the envoy of our army, Sima Boda of the Sima family in Hanoi. If you have anything to discuss, come to him. I am here to protect him."
Sima Lang smiled bitterly after hearing this, but he still stood up and bowed in the direction of Ma Teng and Han Sui, "Sima Lang in Hanoi has met General Zhengdong and General Zhenxi."
"I wonder what brings Boda here?" Han Sui put down his wine glass and asked calmly. Matters such as making suggestions and external negotiations were usually left to him to resolve, so at this time he was doing his part.
"Come here for the two generals and the people of Xiliang!" Sima Lang took a deep breath and said with a smile. It was finally time for him to show off.
