Chapter 585: Play hard to get and get to the bottom of things?
At first, Ma Chao killed quickly, just as their identity was - Xiliang Iron Cavalry. They were the best cavalry in the world. They came and went without a trace, killing people in the blink of an eye.
But it was only when Ma Chao was so stunned that he realized that countless uniformly dressed Hanzhong soldiers and horses suddenly appeared all over the mountains and plains.
"Surrounded!"
Ma Chao was shocked to realize that something was wrong, and Ma Tie shouted and quickly broke out of the encirclement, but they didn't expect that what was blocking them behind was the army they least expected to encounter.
"Brother! We have to break out! Stop fighting!"
Ma Tie shouted loudly, but Ma Chao in front of him was so fierce that his eyes were red, and he couldn't hold him back, let alone follow Ma Tie's dissuasion, and he was about to lose his mind.
Just when Ma Tie was at a loss to do anything——
A rather familiar voice broke the chaos...
"Don't hurt them! Let them go!"
Han Sui's voice was both familiar and unfamiliar. Ma Tie saw that their path was also blocked by the sudden appearance of the cavalry, but he didn't expect that the other party was shouting to let them leave.
Before Ma Tie could react, the Hanzhong army that had been surrounding Ma Chao and others really stopped and quickly retreated to the rear.
With a ferocious look on his face, Ma Chao suddenly felt the pressure in front of him suddenly reduce. When he looked closely, he saw those crazy Hanzhong soldiers slowly withdrawing a road to the back of the mountain for them.
There was no time to think, Ma Chao led everyone to run away from here, but before Ma Tie left, he glanced at the man standing on the horse in the distance with complicated eyes...
"Uncle Han...why..."
——
Victory or defeat often only happens in an instant. When they returned to the formation, everyone was in shock.
Before Ma Chao could figure out what happened just now, he saw Ma Tie walking towards him with a serious face.
"Second brother...I..."
"Brother...you almost killed all your brothers today..."
Ma Tie squeezed out these words through his teeth with difficulty. Ma Chao's eyes were confused. After hearing Ma Tie's words, something exploded in his mind.
This sudden guilt made Ma Chao finally wake up. With confused eyes, he slowly looked at the brothers who had broken out with him before. After his lips trembled for a few times, he finally lowered his head in silence.
"Brother... I know you have been holding back your anger... But now we are trying to buy time for Governor Zhong and the others. We must not do anything rash. This time we are lucky. Next time... I am afraid we will face
Not only will the entire army be wiped out... but also Chang'an... Chang'an also has the fourth brother, the younger sister and the others..."
"Second brother, it was the eldest brother who was wrong..."
Ma Chao lowered his head in shame, but after hearing Ma Chao's words, Ma Tie seemed to have lost his strength and fell down next to Ma Chao.
"Brother... this matter is over in the past... The most important thing today shouldn't be this, right?"
Ma Tie's words were like a needle, piercing Ma Chao's heart. Yes... Ma Chao recalled that they were let go... and the person who let them go was none other than Han Sui.
"Why…"
"Uncle Han, didn't he rebel?"
Ma Tie was trembling all over, his eyes filled with confusion as he couldn't believe this fact.
Ma Chao, on the other hand, frowned, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said nothing - compared to his near death just now, it seemed that Han Sui's appearance had a greater impact on the two brothers.
"Is he trying to humiliate us?"
Ma Chao clenched his fist tightly and punched the ground in front of him. His fist sunk into the ground and splashed a burst of sand and gravel. At this moment, a ranger riding in panic quickly reported the enemy situation ahead:
"Report! Report to the major general, deputy general... There is a man claiming to be deputy general Han Sui, requesting to meet you two..."
"What did you say?"
Ma Chao looked in disbelief and blurted out.
But the cavalryman was also in a dilemma, as if he didn't know how to explain it.
"Why didn't you take it down? If the position of our army was exposed, what crime would you be guilty of!"
Ma Tie stood up excitedly, grabbed the opponent's armor directly, and asked angrily.
The questioning of the two generals made the ranger obviously a little overwhelmed. In fear, he stumbled and explained:
"No...that's not the case, General! General...that man came here with his hands tied to show his sincerity...so he only asked that you two go down the mountain to meet him..."
Ma Chao and Ma Tie were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other. They both saw a strong sense of vigilance in each other's eyes, but... right now, the only way to solve their doubts is to meet each other.
"Stay alert and report any disturbance immediately!"
"Yes Yes!"
…
At the foot of the mountain, dozens of rangers held the spears in their hands tightly, tightly surrounding a cavalryman who bound his hands in the middle.
Under the moonlight, this man held his head high and his chest high, and the calmness on his face seemed to make everyone in front of him extremely nervous. Everyone suspected that this man had someone else to rely on. Maybe there was a large army of soldiers watching behind him.
But...as the other party said, he came just to see Ma Chao and Ma Tie.
Seeing two majestic generals slowly walking out of the dense mountain forest, Ma Chao, the leader, looked angry, while Ma Tie beside him was extremely cautious.
"I have met two major generals. I humbly serve under the orders of General Han. I came here to inform the two generals..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Why does Han Sui have the dignity to talk to the two of us!"
"Rebellious thief, now that things have happened, what else is there to say!"
Ma Chao was already furious with Han Sui. He had followed his father Ma Teng since he was a child. Ma Teng had a great influence on Ma Chao's life principles. In Ma Chao's mind, betrayal was simply unforgivable.
In Ma Chao's view, Han Sui betrayed his father by rebelling when his father was still an official in the court.
That's why Ma Chao almost lost his mind before... He had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, he just wanted to find an explanation from the other party.
But when the other party's explanation was about to be delivered to him, Ma Chao felt extremely irritable.
"Haha... This humble position is just a messenger. The two generals don't have to be so excited. Moreover, General Han also said that no matter what your emotions are, you only need to be informed that General Han rebelled just to avenge your father.
I believe you two will definitely follow me to see Han..."
"Asshole...what did you say!!"
"Father...Father, what happened to him?"
Ma Tie was suddenly stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly, but Ma Chao immediately became furious. He stepped forward, grabbed the opponent's collar, and punched the opponent hard in the face.
The dull punch caused blood to ooze from the corner of the opponent's mouth.
But no matter how Ma Chao roared from behind, the person who came just smiled and looked at Ma Chao and Ma Tie——
Finally... when their father was mentioned, Ma Chao and Ma Tie finally lost their composure.
