Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 228 A Tie Strike

When he and Yan Xing grabbed the spear just now, Ma Chao hung his tiger-headed golden gun on the saddle bridge.Now seeing Yan Xing stabbing towards him with a broken spear, Ma Chao evaded Yan Xing's several moves one after another, and wanted to reach out to take his tiger-headed golden gun from the saddle bridge.

Ma Chao wanted to take off his tiger-headed golden gun, but how could Yan Xing let him take it off so easily.Yan Xing failed to stab Ma Chao several times in succession, and when Ma Chao stretched out his hand towards the saddle bridge, Yan Xing stabbed towards Ma Chao's arm.

At this moment, although Yan Xing held a broken spear without a tip in his hand, Ma Chao still felt the incomparable sharpness from the broken spear.Seeing the broken spear stabbing towards him, Ma Chao's pupils shrank.

If Ma Chao continued to reach for his gun at this time, there was no doubt that his arm would be stabbed by Yan Xing.However, if he doesn't take his tiger-headed golden spear, without a weapon in hand, then Yan Xing will attack him wave after wave like waves in the ocean.

Ma Chao took the risk of breaking Yan Xing's spear in order to win this contest.But who knew that Yan Xing actually got a blessing in disguise, and at this moment, instead of taking advantage of his lack of weapons, he suppressed him.

Ma Chao's pride does not allow him to lose to Yan Xing, his pride allows him to retreat once, instead of retreating once, twice, and again and again.Thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart broke, and he ignored the spear that Yan Xing stabbed at, and grabbed his tiger-headed golden spear straight away.

Seeing that Ma Chao didn't dodge, Yan Xing immediately shook his spear three times and nodded three times.I saw that Yan Xing had left three bloody holes on Ma Chao's arm.

Although Yan Xing left a mark on his arm, Ma Chao got his tiger-headed golden gun as he wished.As soon as he got the spear, Ma Chao didn't care about his own wounds, and took his own spear and killed Yan Xing.

At this time, although Ma Chao was injured, he broke out with a combat effectiveness of 120 points.The tiger-headed golden gun in his hand swept across Yan Xinghou's head and face, and Yan Xing subconsciously raised his spear to block.

However, the spear in Yan Xing's hand was a broken spear. As the saying goes, one inch is longer and one inch is stronger. Facing Ma Chao, who is now aggressive and looks like a wounded tiger, Yan Xing can only parry, but has no power to fight back.

After more than a dozen rounds in a row, Ma Chao's offensive strength became weaker and weaker.You know, Ma Chao was injured, and there were three blood holes on his arm that were bleeding.At this moment, his entire arm was already stained red with blood, and the strength of this arm was getting weaker and weaker.

Although Ma Chao took advantage of the weapons, he was injured and his condition was getting worse.Although Yan Xing suffered a loss in weapons, he was not injured and could slowly drag Ma Chao to fight.If this continues, Ma Chao will consume more and more beatings. As long as Yan Xing continues to procrastinate, Ma Chao may bleed too much and die first.

At this time, Ma Teng and Han Sui, who were watching the battle, looked unhappy.Seeing Ma Chao's injury, Ma Teng was afraid that something might happen to his son.So was Han Sui, who was also afraid of something unexpected happening to Ma Chao.In case Ma Chao bleeds to death later, he and Ma Teng don't need to talk about it, they just turn their faces.

Both Han Sui and Ma Teng wanted to stop the battle, but neither of them could hold back their face to stop the battle first, because whoever stopped the battle first would be the one who would be the first to negotiate. will be at a disadvantage.

Why is it said that a triangle is the most stable shape, because when two of the corners are in conflict, the third corner will come out to reconcile, and this is the reason why the triangle will not collapse.

Just when Ma Teng and Han Sui couldn't save face, Beigong Boyu stood up and became the peacemaker.

Today, he, Beigong Boyu and Han Sui, came here to see Ma Teng, and they were here to discuss joining forces and conspiring for great things.If the two were to continue fighting, I'm afraid Ma Chao's blood would be drained.When the time comes, don't say that the three of them will join forces and conspire against each other. I'm afraid Han Sui and Ma Teng will fight first.

In this case, Ma Teng had already lost.The martial arts of the two are equal, if Yan Xing does not fight him wholeheartedly, Ma Chao will not be able to defeat Yan Xing in hundreds of rounds.However, the three penetrating wounds on Ma Chao's arm were bleeding all the time, and the more violently he beat, the more blood flowed.

If you don't stop to bandage now, let alone hundreds of rounds, it will be dozens of rounds, I am afraid that Ma Chao will not be able to last.

Under the current situation, it cannot be said that Yan Xing is better than Ma Chao.It can only be said that Ma Chao was careless after breaking Yan Xing's spear.It never occurred to him that Yan Xing, holding a broken spear, did not admit defeat, but instead aggressively attacked him.

"Brother Ma, Brother Han, how about a tie today."

"Mr. Yan's weapon was broken, and Mr. Ma was slightly injured. It's meaningless to fight, but it will hurt the peace. If you want me to tell you, it's better to stop the two gentlemen. This is a tie." Bei Gongbo Yu said to the two of them.

Beigong Boyu's words just gave Han Sui and Ma Teng a step down.Naturally, the two were unwilling to continue the stalemate, and simply went down the slope to stop the donkey.

"Chaoer, stop now."

"Yan Xing, stop." Ma Teng and Han Sui shouted in unison.

Han Sui and Ma Teng shouted to stop, Ma Chao and Yan Xing stopped, and they rode against each other on horseback, staring at each other with indignant expressions.

The two didn't have any endless hatred, and the reason why they fought was just for a moment.Now that there is a step down, the two naturally took the opportunity to stop.

Now Yan Xing is just blindly parrying and dodging, not confronting Ma Chao head-on.But Yan Xing moved faster, and Ma Chao had nothing to do with him.Ma Chao also understands that if this drags on, his injuries will become more and more serious, and he will only lose even worse.

And Yan Xing is also a person who understands the overall situation. He knows in his heart that he can defeat Ma Chao, and if he defeats Ma Chao, then Han Sui will be able to occupy the overall situation at the negotiating table.However, if he really beat Ma Chao to death, then the conflict between the two sides would completely erupt.

After the two stopped fighting, Ma Teng gave Ma Chao a distressed look, and shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Go and bandage the young master."

It was okay to ride the horse just now, but when he got off the horse suddenly, Ma Chao's body shook, his head felt dizzy for a while, and he almost passed out.Obviously, he already had symptoms of excessive blood loss.

On the other side, Han Sui looked at Yan Xing with satisfaction. Today, his son-in-law, half of his son, really gave him face.

Although on the surface the two fought in a tie, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yan Xing must be the one who won the fight.

You must know that Yan Xing broke his weapon, but Ma Chao actually left three blood holes on his body.

Chapter 229 Han Suicheng Gongying, You Are a Shit Stirring Stick

Ma Teng looked at his son, who was bandaged with conviction, and at Han Sui, who had a smug expression on his face, and his heart was filled with anger.

Ma Teng thought to himself, you, Han Sui, didn't come to ask me to cooperate, you just came to annoy Lao Tzu.Although he felt aggrieved, Ma Teng couldn't say it out.After all, in this matter of fighting, I am willing to bet and admit defeat. If you lose, you lose. What can you say.

Ma Teng walked ahead with his waist knife supported, while Han Sui and Beigong Boyu followed behind.Beigong Boyu and Han Sui walked while observing Ma Teng's soldiers along the way.They both had to admit that Ma Teng's soldiers were indeed more elite than theirs.

You know, this Wuwei County originally not only stored food and grass, but also hoarded a lot of military supplies.It is true that the grain and grass were burned by Ma Chao, but these armored weapons have all become Ma Teng's trophies.

You know, because Liangzhou is close to the grassland, his situation is actually the same as that of the grassland.Ma Teng's soldiers were originally more inclined to the soldiers on the grassland.Although there are many cavalry, but due to lack of iron and wood.In fact, soldiers rarely have armor. Even if they have armor, most of them are mainly leather armor, and few people can be equipped with iron armor.Even the weapons of the soldiers are mostly short weapons, and rarely equipped with long weapons.

You know, food can be burned by fire, but these iron utensils can't.After occupying Wuwei County, Ma Teng seized a large number of armor weapons from Cao Jun, and of course some armors were pulled directly from the dead.

In this way, half of the elite soldiers under Ma Teng had changed their outfits.With sharp weapons, this also makes Ma Teng's soldiers look extraordinarily elite. In things like war, the winning side always benefits.

"Brother Ma, the armor and weapons on your soldiers look so fine. These things were captured from Cao Jun? It really makes my brothers greedy." Han Sui looked at the equipment on the soldiers who came and went, rather Said enviously.

Hearing Han Sui's words, Ma Teng said in his heart, you are greedy, I will not give it to you if I am greedy to death.

Among the feudal lords in this world, Huainan Yuan Shu is the wealthiest. In terms of armor, Huainan Yuan Shu made the most elite soldiers.The weapons and equipment of Cao Jun soldiers are actually not very good.That's just the average level of the Central Plains, but for people like Han Sui and Beigong Boyu who have lived in the frontier for a long time and have no knowledge, such standard armor is indeed quite good.

After listening to Han Sui's words, Ma Teng nodded and said to Han Sui: "Brother Han, yes, these things were indeed seized from Cao Jun. Good things are indeed good things, but they are too few and not enough. No Many, not many. It’s only [-] pieces of armor. In order to fight for these things, these people under me almost didn’t fight.”

When Han Sui heard Ma Teng's words were not many, not many, but only [-] armors, he almost didn't lose his temper.My heart said, good guy, you Ma Teng is old Versailles.

However, Han Sui couldn't help but feel a little jealous when he saw that Ma Teng had achieved such a great harvest just by conquering Wuwei County.Sure enough, compared with the Central Plains, this Xiliang is really too barren.

Han Sui and Beigong Boyu followed Ma Teng into the county government office, where a banquet had already been set up for them.

After the three of them were seated, Ma Teng's military advisor, Cheng Gongying, accompanied him. Ma Teng ordered a drink first. Ma Teng just wanted to mention the matter of letting the two of them join the gang, but before he could speak, Cheng Gongying kicked Ma Teng under the table. .Ma Teng is not a fool, so he naturally understood what Cheng Gongying meant.He simply suppressed the words he was about to speak, and chatted with the two about his family's troubles.

At this time, Ma Teng took the initiative.With Wuwei County in hand, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu were anxious to join the group.

On Ma Teng's side, he kept talking about him, and didn't mention the matter of letting the two of them join the gang.As a result, the two became a little anxious.

Beigong Boyu's scheming was a little deeper, so although he was anxious, he could still bear it.Han Sui was impatient, Beigong Boyu could bear it, but Han Sui couldn't.

"Brother Ma, now that you have captured Wuwei County, what is your next step?" Han Sui asked Ma Teng.

Before Ma Teng could speak, military adviser Cheng Gongying spoke first.

"General Han doesn't know, my King Liang has already planned to use this Wuwei County as the foundation, and then slowly go to the south to map it." Cheng Gongying twirled his goatee and said to Han Sui.

"Yep."

"Take Wuwei County as the foundation, and then gradually map it, don't worry, don't worry." After Cheng Gongying finished speaking, Ma Teng agreed.

Ma Teng knew that the three of them together were no match for a literati like Cheng Gongying.Simply, I followed what Cheng Gongying said.

In fact, can Ma Teng figure it out slowly?He definitely can't take it slowly.Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of troops, but he has only tens of thousands of troops.Although it was the four families who joined forces to attack Cao Cao, he would be the first to be wiped out if he tried to do it slowly.

Now that he has already fought with Cao Cao and won Wuwei, the next thing he has to do is to attack.Through a series of onslaughts, he stunned Cao Cao and let Cao Cao know that Ma Teng is not easy to mess with.In this way, Cao Cao will definitely focus on the weakest Liu Bei or Yuan Shu as the first target to solve.Only in this way can he have a chance to breathe.

"Brother Ma, you are in full swing now, how can you show it slowly?"

"In this march and battle, the emphasis is on going all out. In my opinion, we should take advantage of the momentum and continue to attack hard, so as to occupy a few more cities of Cao Cao."

"One Wuwei makes my brother so fat, if he occupies a few more cities, then wouldn't my brother soar into the sky."

"It's just that if my brother fights for a long time, the loss of troops will be very serious. I don't know if my brother has enough troops?" Han Sui continued to beat around the bush.

Han Sui's words meant that if he continued to attack fiercely, his troops would be depleted.You don't have enough troops, but we have them, so let's partner up.

As soon as Han Sui's words fell, Cheng Gongying twirled his beard again, and then said: "It is not impossible to continue the fierce attack. As for the loss of troops, it is also simple. The Central Plains is no different from Liangzhou, which has a large population and few troops. It’s easy to supplement, but there are a lot of people in the Central Plains, so it’s very convenient to replenish troops.”

After Cheng Gongying finished speaking, Han Sui stared at Cheng Gongying viciously, wishing to stab him to death.In Han Sui's view, this Cheng Gongying is his mother's shit-stirring stick.Between the three of them, there was a bloody mess.

Chapter 2 Ma Teng's Plan

As soon as Han Sui said something, Cheng Gongying beat him back with words.Han Sui was so angry that he wanted to stab Cheng Gongying with a knife.However, Cheng Gongying is Ma Teng's military officer, and his opinion must be very important to Ma Teng, so Han Sui dare not offend Cheng Gongying.

Han Sui thought to himself, I don't need to beat around the bush, and beat around the bush with these literati, it's just to get angry with myself.

The corner of Han Sui's mouth was twitching with anger. He knew that Cheng Gongying was deliberately blocking him with words, so that he could take the initiative in the next negotiation.Han Sui thought to himself, if this group of literati's fancy intestines were straightened out, they would be able to circle around Wuwei County.I won't play around with you anymore, I have a showdown.

Thinking of this, Han Sui said straight to the point: "Brother Ma, what I mean is that we are all from Xiliang. If you are prosperous, you must not forget my little brother. As the saying goes, one hero has three gangs. It’s no different than Xiliang, the Central Plains is a place where fierce tigers are entrenched. Even if you are a hero, big brother, he needs someone to help you, right? Brother Beigong and I are willing to do our best for big brother.”

After Han Sui finished speaking, he nudged Beigong Boyu a few times with his elbow, motioning for him to express his opinion.

Beigong Boyu hurriedly stood up and expressed his opinion: "The younger brother, like the second brother Han, is willing to go through fire and water for elder brother Ma. From now on, it will come in the wind and go in the rain. As long as elder brother Ma gives orders, younger brother will never refuse."

Ma Teng took a deep look at Han Sui and Beigong Boyu. To be honest, he didn't trust these two people very much.Don't look at what the two of them are saying now, it's because they see the benefits now.

They are all foxes in the same mountain, so everyone is talking about Liaozhai.Everyone is very clear about their virtues, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu are two hungry wolves, and now they smell meat, so they come together, the elder brother is the elder brother, and the elder brother is the shortest beside Ma Teng.

Before Ma Teng took Wuwei, when he invited these two men to send troops, the two men were more decisive than the other.Because of this, to be honest, Han Sui didn't believe in the character of these two people, nor could he trust them.

However, just because the two were hungry wolves who would eat meat when they smelled it, and because Ma Teng didn't trust them, he had to take them with him at this time.Because Ma Teng understands that it is safest to keep these two people by his side. If he keeps these two people behind him, then maybe he will have a fire in his backyard.

After Han Sui and Ma Teng finished expressing their opinions, Ma Teng pondered for a moment, and during this moment of pondering, Ma Teng was weighing the pros and cons, calculating the gains and losses.

"You two brothers, you came here today to talk about merging with me, right?" Ma Teng asked straight to the point.

Seeing Ma Teng speak up in person, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu thought to themselves, this seems to be a play.For Han Sui and Beigong Boyu, talking with Ma Teng was much more comfortable than talking with Cheng Gongying.Literati like to calculate, and it is too aggrieved to talk with Cheng Gongying.

"That's right, the two of us want to go to the Central Plains with Big Brother to see and see." Han Sui said.

"That's right, Brother Ma let our soldiers from Xiliang enter the Central Plains after defeating Grand Master Dong. Together with Brother Ma, we may be able to achieve great things." Beigong Boyu also flattered.

Ma Teng is not the kind of stunned young man who is flattered and doesn't know what his last name is.Ma Teng is an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for decades. It can be said that he has long been invincible.

After Han Sui and Beigong Boyu finished talking, Ma Teng took a deep look at the two of them and said, "It's not about who is doing the best for the other. Everyone is gathering firewood, and the flames are high, and the two brothers actually intend to join forces, and I can't shirk it. However, the brothers are clear about their accounts, and there are some things I have to say first."

When Han Sui and Beigong Boyu heard Ma Teng's words, they agreed to join.Now that Ma Teng has agreed, there is nothing wrong with raising some small conditions.

"Brother Ma, if you have anything to say, just speak up." Han Sui and Beigong Boyu said in unison.

Ma Teng said to the two: "My brothers Yuan and Liu Bei have jointly decided on a plan to divide Cao into three families. We have already said that each of the three families will attack one side and contain Cao's forces from several directions. In this way, The territory established by the three companies is our own." мщênχυêóм︶ㄣ

"Now, the Yuan brothers and Liu Bei have not made a move, but I have done it first. Therefore, we must bear the first wave of Cao Jun's main attack. Since the two brothers want to form an alliance with Ma, then among them I also want to make it clear to my two brothers about the benefits and disadvantages of this."

In order to seize the opportunity to dominate the Central Plains, Ma Teng took the first attack by surprise and took Wuwei in one fell swoop.And as the first to attack in the sub-cao alliance, he must bear the pressure of the first wave.

This is so powerful that Ma Teng had already thought through it before the first attack.

In other words, when Ma Teng succeeded in attacking Wuwei, Cao Jun will inevitably gather troops to attack him and retaliate.And when Cao Jun and Ma Teng were entangled, at this time Liu Bei and the Yuan brothers would also attack Cao Jun who was empty in the rear at the same time.

Fortunately, Liu Bei said that the lack of small soldiers is not a big problem, but the Yuan brothers are a big problem.Once the Yuan brothers make a move, there is no doubt that Cao Jun will withdraw from the army that attacked Ma Teng, and then turn around to deal with Yuan Shao, who is the most dangerous.At this time, it was Ma Teng's second wave of opportunities.

Ma Teng told this analysis to Han Sui and Beigong Boyu, and after listening to it, the two fell into deep thought.

Cao Cao claims to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. I'm afraid this first wave and Cao Cao's toughness will not be so easy.Of course, since Han Sui and Beigong Boyu decided to enter, they wouldn't just back down so easily.

"Brother Ma, what is your plan?" Han Sui asked Ma Teng.

Ma Teng is not a reckless person. Since he attacked Cao Jun first, he must be prepared to survive the first wave of attack.

Ma Teng didn't hide anything from the two of them, and explained to them: "Although Cao Cao claims to have hundreds of thousands of armored men, you must know that Cao Jun's territory borders Qin Wang Li Chen and Jin Wang Yuan Shao at the same time. Where the two border each other, a large number of troops must be hoarded."

"So I think that even if Cao Jun will come, there will definitely not be many troops. At most, it will be 10,000+. If there are no two brothers to join, I originally planned to stick to Wuwei. As long as Wuwei does not lose, I will support Just wait until the Yuan brothers and Liu Bei attack Cao Cao from the rear."

"But now with two brothers to join hands, this matter is easier to handle."

Chapter 231 It's the Horn of Each Other

If Ma Teng resisted Cao Cao by himself, then he was weak and could only defend Wuwei County, only capable of defending but not attacking.However, with the help of Han Sui and Beigong Boyu, Ma Teng didn't just want to defend Wuwei County.

"Two brothers, how about I give you a city each?" Ma Teng looked at the two with piercing eyes, and said seriously.

Hearing Ma Teng's words, Han Sui and Beigong Boyu were immediately overjoyed, and then a thought arose in their minds that there was such a good thing.

You know, this is a city.There are not many cities in Xiliang, not to mention cities in Xiliang, and they are not like Wuwei County.

The city in Wuwei County is built with strips of stone and blue bricks, and the whole of Xiliang is basically a grassland, not to mention the fact that there are no stones to be found, and there is no condition for burning bricks.Therefore, the cities in Xiliang are basically earthen cities with rammed loess.

For example, Jincheng, the largest city under Han Sui, is an earthen city wall, and there are very few houses inside, basically tents.

On the grassland, there is a lot of wind and sand. If you travel to the grassland, it will be happy.But if you live on the grassland for a long time, everyone longs for the Central Plains with a pleasant climate.

Because of this, both Han Sui and Beigong Boyu dreamed of owning a territory in the Central Plains.So, when I heard that Ma Teng was going to give them a city each, I couldn't help but feel happy.
