Xiaoguangong

Chapter 248
Ma Chao's eyes are red.

Cao Jun, who was forced to retreat to the banks of the Yellow River, did not flee in all directions as he imagined-there is no way that the military discipline of the Liangzhou Army is really famous.

They are not engaged in production, and there is a high probability that they will not take so many prisoners, so they should kill them all.

On one side is Ma Chao's iron cavalry and on the other is the frozen Yellow River. Although many people snatch boats and prepare to escape, nearly half of Cao's soldiers persist in fighting and trying to repel Ma Chao.

This is not for any cause or righteousness, it is simply a simple concept of wanting to back up before death.

Although Ma Chao's army was quite elite, most of them went to plunder. He was unable to organize any effective frontal attack for a while, and was beaten back again and again by Cao Jun's counterattack.

Ma Chao was angry and anxious, and ordered his subordinates to pay for it with their lives at all costs, and Chang Diao's neck would have to be wrung out at any rate today.

Chang Diao really wanted to find a ferry to escape quickly, but he found sadly that Ding Fei was too enthusiastic before and filled most of the ferries with cattle and horses, and the ferry prepared for Chang Diao was also occupied by some ineffective soldiers .

Cold sweat broke out on his anxious back, and he could only shout hoarsely, trying to block Ma Chao's attack.

"I'll see how long you can last!"

Ma Chao gradually calmed down from his madness under the cold wind.

He realized that a strong attack would arouse Cao Jun's resistance, so he ordered his men to pretend to set up camp to give Cao Jun a chance to escape.

As soon as they start to escape, Ma Chao will immediately start attacking. After repeated several times, the morale of Cao's army will definitely collapse and let them slaughter.

But in this gap, Ma Chao suddenly received an urgent letter from Han Sui——

Yunshan, who had been surrounded in Chang'an City before, unexpectedly broke out, instead recruited Yang Qiu and Yan Xing, and led an army to surround him!
Ma Chao was taken aback, and couldn't believe that such an accident had happened.

He stared blankly at the generals in front of him, not knowing what to say for a moment.The generals didn't know the content of the letter, and seeing Ma Chao's face changed drastically, they hurriedly asked.

Ma Chao was stunned, then quickly regained his composure:
"It's nothing, it's just that Dudu Han said... that Yang Qiu refused to accept orders and wanted to cause chaos, and Dudu Han has already captured him."

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief and did not doubt Ma Chao.

So normal is so normal.

When the Guanzhong coalition forces got together, either you would fight me or I would fight you. The internal strife almost ran through them all the time. Yang Qiu had a conflict with Ma Chao before, and it is understandable to do stupid things in a moment of anger.

Thinking about it, if Han Sui made a move, he should not dare to make a mistake.

Only Ma Dai could see that things were definitely not as easy as Ma Chao said. He saw Ma Chao slowly clenched his fists, and his heart was raised violently.

Something must have happened. If it was just that Yang Qiu fell ill, Han Sui didn't need to send the letter so nervously.

After suppressing the rebellion, Shi Shiran showing off his military exploits is more in line with Han Sui's unpredictable behavior style.So nervous to send someone to deliver a letter...

There must be a big problem in the rear!

"I said it's the little things.

Gentlemen... attack quickly, and the enemy must be completely wiped out! "

After Ma Chao gave the order, he went into battle again. This action made everyone feel that something was wrong.

Ma Chao had already decided to suspend the attack before, and after receiving Han Sui's letter, he overturned his previous order and demanded a fierce attack. Anyone could see that something must have gone wrong.

Li Kan and Zhang Heng looked at each other and hurried out of the tent.

Li Kan grabbed Zhang Heng's sleeve and said in a low voice:
"I don't see it right. This Chang Diao is Ma Mengqi's nemesis. This time Ma'er has been unable to attack for a long time, and I'm afraid something big will happen."

Zhang Heng also nodded: "Something must have happened, Ma'er is brave and foolhardy, if we continue to fight him, the whole army will definitely be wiped out.

Brother, let's go first, don't stay here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He saw a sharp iron spear piercing his body. Zhang Heng spit out a mouthful of blood with a wow sound, and screamed subconsciously. His body gradually rose into the air bit by bit. .

The ashen-complexioned Ma Chao pierced Zhang Heng's body with a spear, and the rather handsome Ma Chao had a ferocious expression on his face. He looked coldly at the pale-faced Li Kan, and smiled quite calmly:
"Any questions?"

"The horse kills me... the horse kills me..." Zhang Heng's eyes widened, and he muttered in disbelief.

Ma Chao threw him heavily on the ground, then raised the iron spear high, and slowly pierced Zhang Heng's throat with the iron spear under the horrified eyes of everyone.

"This thief has shaken the morale of the army and deserves to die.

Anyone else want to be like him? "

Ma Chao's bravery is rare in the world, even if all the generals were brave, they couldn't think of any resistance under his cold gaze, so they could only bow down quickly.

"What about you?"

Ma Chao looked at Li Kan, and Li Kan stared blankly at Zhang Heng, who was lying in a pool of blood, trembling all over his body like chaff.He knew that he had offended Ma Chao very badly this time, even if he knelt down and begged for mercy, Ma Chao's temper might not spare him.

He boldly swallowed his saliva, jumped back suddenly, grabbed an iron spear and held it in his hand.

"Ma'er, we will raise an army together to attack the Cao bandits, and this part will be high and low.

When I elected you as a general, it was only because of your father's face.

I didn't expect you to be brave and foolish, and dare to kill your colleagues indiscriminately. I can see that you don't want to help the Han family at all. You want to help the Cao thief kill us all, and then go to the court as easy as your father Officer is not it! "

"What's wrong with Yang Qiu? Talking nonsense! How dare you take a look at Governor Han's letter!"

Li Kan was really afraid of Ma Chao's majesty, especially since Ma Chao had just killed Zhang Heng in full view, so he certainly didn't mind killing another person.

But he knew that even if he didn't resist, Ma Chao's spear would be unavoidable. At the critical moment of life, Li Kan erupted with amazing courage from somewhere, and poured out all the resentment towards Ma Chao in front of everyone.

Ma Chao's face turned pale.

He clearly felt that everyone had doubted him—no, they never trusted him, and they were only forced to obey orders because of his high martial arts skills and power.

But now they were in a very bad situation, and all kinds of suspicions ran throughout. Only Ma Chao saw Han Sui's letter. Before the war started, they must really want to see what was written in the letter.

Anger and resentment made Ma Chaofa lose his mind.

He originally wanted to hide the letter for the time being, concentrate on destroying Chang Diao first, and then go back to fight Yunshan, he may not lose to him.

But now this situation...

"Okay, okay, let's listen to General Ma's orders first."

Cheng Yin hurriedly smiled and came up to smooth things over.

They are all fierce people on the side of the gathering, anyone can see that there is a huge problem now, instead of running away in all directions, it is better to listen to a voice and solve the immediate difficulties first.

But Li Kan is not the kind of person who just borrows the steps to go down.

He still stared at Ma Chao covetously, and shouted at Cheng Yin:

"Brother Cheng, why am I waiting for the army? Could it be that he wants Ma Chao to be the emperor?
Now that Mr. Cao has retreated, why should he order me to wait?
If I don't compete with him today, I'll be his servant when he recovers!Everyone has seen that he was against me before, brother Zhang didn't do anything wrong, but he stabbed him to death with a spear just for verbal offense! "

"Something must have happened in the rear! Mal still wants to hide from us and let us go to Chang Diao to die!

You ask him, how he was played by Chang Diao before, I have already seen that Chang Diao deliberately used a loophole to attract me here, and then ambushed a group of people to kill from behind. "

"I can't advance or retreat, I can't retreat, and now I have to listen to the blind command of the horse, and I will be buried here in a while!"

"Ma'er! If you have the ability, take out the letter from Dudu Han! Tell us what happened!"

Li Kan's words wiped out the last bit of reason in Ma Chao's heart.

He hated others to tell the story of being repeatedly teased by Chang Diao in public, especially this time, he was full of ambition and felt that he had pushed Chang Diao into a corner, and finally he was able to vent the suffocation in his heart.

But Li Kan directly uncovered Ma Chao's scar in front of everyone, telling everyone that Ma Chao not only failed to win, but fell into Chang Diao's trick.

Now their army will be trapped to death in this desperate situation north of the Wei River.

How can the proud Ma Chao endure this?
"Okay, now is the time for personal grievances."

There was a fierce look in his eyes:
"Do you want to see it, give me hell and see!"

With a flick of his wrist, the blood-drenched iron spear opened its mouth like an angry poisonous snake, covering Li Kan's whole body.

"Die to me!" Ma Chao sternly roared, and with all his strength in this spear, he vowed to pierce through Li Kan with one spear.

Li Kan's martial arts are far from Ma Chao's. He has been watching Ma Chao vigilantly, waiting for the moment when Ma Chao explodes. Seeing the spear coming quickly, he immediately threw down the spear in his hand with a loud shout, and turned his head backwards. run.

"Help, gentlemen! Ma Chao wants to kill me!"

Cheng Yin and Hou Xuan looked at each other, and immediately snatched the spear from the guards around them, blocking Ma Chao's full blow.Ma Wanchengyi also reacted, and immediately drew his sword to join the battle group.

"Why did Meng Qi kill him?" Cheng Yin said with a gloomy face, "Is there anything I can't say clearly? Please wait for me to read the letter from Governor Han!"

Ma Chao said coldly:
"I'm telling the truth, Yunshan has already broken out of Chang'an City, Yang Qiuyan rebelled, and Dudu Han led the army to resist with his own orders.

Now our only way is to defeat Chang Diao immediately, and then go back together to help Dudu Han kill the enemy! "

"What!" All the generals were shocked.

Yang Qiu actually... unexpectedly joined the imperial court?

"It's not just a choice..." Under the protection of everyone, Li Kan finally recovered his courage. He pointed at Ma Chao's face angrily, "Brothers, let's kill Ma Chao and go to the court together! General Yun will definitely treat us badly!"
