The pottery merchant personally led his troops out of the commander's tent where he was, and listened carefully, but heard the sounds of soldiers and horses shouting for death coming from all directions in the distance.
The potter raised his eyes and looked around, listened carefully for a moment, and suddenly said: "These bastards, either they don't come, or they all show up together if they come. I don't know if Zhong Yao is a traitor or a fool for carrying out such a large-scale sneak attack."
What’s the use of a camp? Is it possible that I can’t build it?”
Just as the pottery merchant was talking to Pei Qian, he saw on the other side, Pei Ben rode up to the pottery merchant, cupped his hands towards him and said: "Prime Minister, please move to the back camp for a while."
The potter looked at him puzzled: "Why?"
Pei Ben said seriously: "The general has already found out. The princes of Guanzhong and the generals of Luoyang City are all fighting fiercely with the generals of our army on the periphery. Although the generals of each section have stopped most of the princes of Guanzhong, there are still some
The enemy generals rushed in. Although our soldiers tried hard to stop them, they could not stop them all. According to reports, Xiliang Jin Machao was leading a group of Xiliang cavalry and rampaged through the camp, looking for the Prime Minister everywhere.
trace."
The potter rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied: "You are told to say this. Ma Chao is just Ma Chao. You also said something like Xiliang Jin Ma Chao. You specifically stated your name. Are you trying to scare me?"
Pei Ben was stunned when he heard this, then smiled awkwardly and said: "What the Prime Minister said is that Ma Chao is nothing! Calling him by his real name is considered a compliment. In front of the Prime Minister's majesty, Xiliang Jin Ma Chao is just an ant.
.”
The pottery merchant snorted and then ordered everyone: "Bring me the Ferrari."
Pei Qian was stunned after hearing this: "What does the Prime Minister want to do?"
"What else can we do? Hide." Tao Shang sighed and said, "Go to the back camp and hide from Ma Chao..."
Pei Qian: "..."
…
A group of soldiers and horses rushed towards the inner camp in a hurry. Not long after, they faintly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this and said, "Isn't Ma Chao rushing over?"
Pei Ben said solemnly: "Ma Chao doesn't have many soldiers, but he is very fast. It is very likely that he took advantage of the gap to break into our inner camp. But if you are not careful, you may be easily injured by him."
Pei Qian listened carefully to the sound of horse hooves behind him and said, "Prime Minister, what should we do now? Should we send a signal to summon the generals to come and protect us?"
Tao Shang shook his head and said: "At this time, if we ask the generals to come for help, I'm afraid that if the signal is sent out, the first person to be lured will be Ma Chao."
The Pei brothers couldn't help but become anxious when they heard this.
"What should we do?"
The potter thought for a while and said: "Turn around, turn the horse's head, and hedge against Ma Chao!"
"What?"
When the Pei brothers heard this, they immediately became anxious.
"Zhan, Zhan Ma Chao?"
Pei Qian took a deep breath and said: "Prime Minister, Ma Chao is very brave. I, I'm afraid I can't defeat him."
"Who said you should fight him?" the pottery merchant said calmly.
Pei Qian was stunned when he heard this, hesitated for a long time, and then he asked in confusion: "If the general is not fighting against Ma Chao, then is the prime minister fighting against Ma Chao?"
Tao Shang gave Pei Qian a stern glance and said, "I'm going to fight against Ma Chao? If that's necessary, I might as well just put the sword across my neck and have a blast!"
Pei Qian doesn't understand this.
Since he knew he couldn't beat Ma Chao, why did he have to turn around and fight Ma Chao together?
The potter said to Pei Qian: "Tell the soldiers to turn around and charge Ma Chao's army, and shout as I told you..."
…
Not long after, a group of cavalry including the Pei brothers and the pottery merchant began to speed up and rushed towards Ma Chao's troops.
Ma Chao was leading his troops to charge when he suddenly saw a troop of troops turning around and charging towards him. He was startled.
Immediately afterwards, he faintly heard the words shouted by the cavalry charging towards him.
"Stop them!"
"Quick! Stop them!"
"Don't let them catch up with the Prime Minister!"
"We must stop them here!"
After hearing what everyone said, Ma Chao's expression couldn't help but become overjoyed.
He waved his hand vigorously and was shot, and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, the pottery merchant is not far ahead. Let's not get entangled with these blocking troops and rush over quickly! Killing the pottery merchant is a great achievement.
!”
When the Xiliang cavalry heard Ma Chao's shouts, they were all overjoyed.
Not long after, two charging soldiers and horses were seen colliding with each other.
But it was obvious that both sides had no intention of entangled. They were all rushing forward desperately. Except for a few forward cavalry, the rest of the soldiers passed each other and went towards their own destinations.
For Ma Chao, this was really a great joy, so he didn't think too much about it. What he was thinking about now was to quickly cross the soldiers blocking the road, and then go to the front to capture the pottery merchant alive.
When I was young, I saw Ma Chao's charging cavalry colliding head-on with the cavalry wrapped by the Pei brothers. However, there was no friction between the troops and horses of both sides, and they just passed each other in a tacit understanding.
As the war horses of Ma Chao and the Pei brothers passed by each other, they heard a faint voice of ridicule, clear and harsh, coming from among the war horses.
"fool."
Ma Chao was in a hurry to chase the pottery merchant, and he didn't seem to feel much about this voice.
And he doesn't know what a 'fool' is.
Not long after, the two cavalrymen quickly crossed each other.
…
After chasing a short distance further, Ma Chao and the others seemed to have completely lost track.
Where is the 'Prime Minister' that those people were calling to protect just now?
Ma Chao rode his horse back and forth between the fields, his ears furrowed as he heard the sounds of killing from all directions.
He looked around, with a somewhat anxious look on his face.
But at that moment, the scene of the confrontation between the soldier and the horse just now suddenly sounded in his mind, as well as the two clear words "fool".
"Hey! I actually fell into a trap!" Ma Chao waved his carbine fiercely: "Follow me and chase the soldiers and horses just now! Damn you! I was actually plotted by Tao!"
When he said this, Ma Chao turned his horse around and ran after him.
At the same time, the pottery merchant had already run a certain distance. After crossing paths with Ma Chao and the others, he ordered someone to blow the trumpet and send out a signal in the night sky to summon help.
Not long after, Xu Chu, who was closest to him, rushed to the pottery merchant's side.
The arrival of Xu Chu made the pottery merchant feel much more at ease.
"Prime Minister, which traitor wants to touch you?" Xu Chu galloped up to the pottery merchant and said loudly.
Xu Chu's voice comforted Tao Shang. He smiled and said to Xu Chu, "It's good that you are here. As long as Zhong Kang is here, Tao will not be afraid of any traitors."
But at this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from behind, and it was Ma Chao who led the horse and turned around and rushed in front of the pottery merchant again.
"Tao, what did you say about me just now? Idiot...what do you mean?"
