Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 325 Shocking!Xu Zhen defeated Xiliang!too fast!
Under a knife.

Not to mention Ma Chao's physical strength, none of the horses under him seemed to be able to bear the pressure and were lowered down, and Ma Chao was even more unconfident at this time.

Even if his strength was not in its prime, even if his arms were still sore, it would not be such a crushing defeat. He was not even Xu Bowen's opponent at all.

Not to mention how swift and violent his knife was, it was like a thunderbolt falling, and it arrived in front of him in an instant, and at the moment when Ma Chao lost his balance in a daze.

Xu Zhen slashed off with a horizontal knife, and cut off his right hand with a series of golden and iron sounds along the spear, making him have to let it go.

At this moment, Xu Zhen had the chance to win, but he still eagerly stretched out his left hand, pulled all of Ma Chao's spears in his hand, and pulled him off the horse.

Passed the throat seal with his right hand and put it on his neck.

At this moment, Chitu let out a snort, with white mist coming out of his mouth, as if he was yawning, and he calmed down unexpectedly, as if he didn't feel like showing off at all in the previous battle.

Ma Chao fell to the ground, and when he was about to get up, he felt a chill on his neck. The sharp knife was used to seal his throat, and the sharpness almost made every hair on his back stand on end.

At this moment, Xu Zhen let out a long sigh of relief.

"Hey, after three rounds, it was finally done."

"Three rounds... and I lost."

Ma Chao looked at the snow on the ground in despair. Now he understood why Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Zilong and others followed Xu Zhen.

They are already one of the best generals, but it is estimated that they will lose their halberds when they meet Xu Zhen. This man is the most powerful general among the Bingzhou soldiers!
This knife, although it may seem ordinary, but only those who really face Xu Zhen understand that the choice of timing, the place where the knife is fired, and the momentary change at the time of the battle are all excellent.

It can be called flawless and unavoidable.

Ma Chao even felt that his body was under his control, and he could guard wherever he was asked to guard. Even if he kept fighting, he would be led by the nose sooner or later.

Not to mention that my mind is already in a mess.

Fighting with Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong one after another, each of them has a different style of fighting. When it comes to Xu Zhen, there is no way to make any judgments.

It's just that he doesn't understand.

Why is it that Xu Zhen is so skilled in martial arts, even if he is the first to come, he will definitely be defeated by him, and even beheaded after dozens of rounds, but he has never been the first to come.

Is it purely for gradual teasing? !

At this time, Xu Zhen certainly didn't have time to guess what Ma Chao was thinking, and the system's voice sounded.

[Hidden Challenge: Defeat Ma Chao within three moves]

[Extreme Rewards: Traits Iron Forged Viscera, Traits Longevity Old Man, Longevity Pill (one bottle)]

"call……"

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his body was constantly changing, especially the internal organs were all attached by a wonderful force, and his body was more than a little stronger.

As for the Longevity Man, his qi and blood surged in an instant, reaching a terrifying level.

[Characteristic Longevity Man: Life expectancy increased by 10%, extremely difficult to get sick. 】

[Current lifespan: 132 o'clock on November 4, 12]

"There are still more than 100 years of life span, and the growth rate is constantly accelerating, and you will be able to live forever in the future."

Xu Zhen thought to himself, with a relaxed face, this trip can be said to be fruitful, but on the other hand, Ma Chao is not in such a mood.

He stared blankly at the ground, as if he had been hit to the extreme, and his whole mind was broken.

Three knives...

I actually lost with three swords? !

At this time, Ma Chao's heart was still completely unable to get out of the three swords just now, and Xu Zhen finally came out, almost destroying his entire heart.

Ma Chao had never been so defeated in his life.

Back then in Xiliang, he was invincible all these years. He fought against warriors all over the place, and he never lost. He thought that after sweeping Xiliang, he could at least fight against the heroes of the world.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen couldn't get through here.

And he was defeated by his generals one after another.

"just kill me."

Ma Chao said in despair. He moved his body with difficulty at this time, but his limbs felt extremely sore. The Xiliang soldiers and horses behind him did not dare to move, and no one spoke.

They are all waiting for the situation to change further.

After many years of war in Xiliang, there are only so many people who can gather at this time, and they are all looking around here, and these people are all headed by Ma Chao.

It was Ma's soldiers and horses, but just now, Ma Chao fell in front of them.

Many of these soldiers and horses were from the Qiang nationality. These Qiang people admired the strong and once regarded Ma Chao as the mighty general.

With such a reputation, he should not be defeated, but he failed miserably.

"No," Xu Zhen obviously didn't mean to kill him, but directly put the Miao Dao on the red rabbit, got off the horse, and stood in front of Ma Chao, with a slight smile on his face, "If I kill you, I will be punished." The resistance of 10,000+ Xiliang soldiers and horses is worse than turning hostility into friendship."

"Turn, go to war, for jade and silk?"

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his anger was lifted a little. At least Xu Zhen still had a lot of respect for him in what he said.

It is true that the 10,000+ Xiliang soldiers and horses all belong to him. This is the cohesiveness brought about by many years. It will be wiped out after one or two defeats, but what he doesn't understand is, how can it be transformed? !
It's about turning an enemy into a friend.

"Perhaps, we are not hostile. It's just that some people use tricks to drive tigers away. Therefore, from the very beginning, the soldiers under my command only wanted to learn from the general, not to fight to the death."

"And I'm just itchy."

Xu Zhen stared at Ma Chao, showing a very warm smile, and said to him, "It's not bad to lose three times."

"For example, Dian Wei once defeated him with a single move. The difference between masters can be determined by a slight difference."

"What's more, you fought with Zhongkang for six hours, and your vitality was seriously injured. After that, you just struggled to support it."

"Dian Wei?!"

Ma Chao raised his head in disbelief, he didn't know that Dian Wei was in such a predicament, but he also felt that Xu Zhen's words made sense, although the difference between masters is not much, but one detail can put people at a disadvantage.

Therefore, he is not completely weaker than Xu Zhen, I am afraid that he is only a little bit worse.

"However," Ma Chao sighed bitterly, "I am a prisoner as well as a fish. I will leave this life to the chariots. If you insist on letting me go, I will lead the troops back to the West." cold."

"No, since you are a prisoner of war, you can follow me into the camp, dare you?"

"Hehe..." Ma Chao's face turned bitter, "I don't dare to dare, I will go."

……

Outside the barracks, the two armies are still facing each other.

But the news in Tongguan has already started to spread. Xu Bowen personally took action and captured Ma Chao back.

Inside the barracks, Xu Zhen was flanked by civil and military personnel, and in front of him was Ma Chao.

Jia Xu went to order people to prepare drinks and treat him as a guest, and did not treat him as a prisoner of war. As soon as Xu Zhen arrived at his seat, he immediately said straight to the point: "General Ma Teng entered Xudu. Intercept."

"I understand why he went to Xudu. The purpose is to make the general famous, break through Tongguan with mourning soldiers, and enter Bingzhou to fight Cao's army."

"It's just that luck is bad, and I am the one who guards the Bingzhou border."

That's a good point.

If it were any of the generals of the Cao family, they wouldn't be in this situation, at least the rest, anyone!It is impossible to have five fierce generals under his command who can fight against him without losing the wind!

It is also impossible to have such a cavalry army that can do anything!

When Xu Bowen charged and killed, although he suffered heavy casualties, he didn't lose many war cavalry. When his war cavalry came out of the camp, they were basically chasing and killing.

The rain of arrows, which had been used to block them before, fired dozens of rounds in an orderly manner to keep the Xiliang soldiers out. This kind of tolerance is very rare.

Ma Chao asked himself that his troops were changeable. He had fought many strange foreigners in the north and west, and even foreign soldiers. He learned from each other to form a spear formation, and learned a lot of styles of leading troops, but no matter what, it seemed that he was not as good as Xu Bowen.

"Um……"

Shocked, Ma Chao began to think about the meaning of Xu Zhen's words. He understood that Xu Zhen must not mean to be hostile when he said this.

"Cheqi means, are you not the same as the prime minister?"

Xu Zhen was silent for a moment. He didn't expect Ma Chao to ask such a direct question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on him, not only Ma Chao, but Jia Xu, Zhuge Liang, and many generals all wanted an answer.

Xu Zhen's next words should be extremely important.

"Do not."

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "I used to be a fellow, but not anymore."

Until now, he still doesn't believe that when he was in Jingzhou, the generals of the Cao clan sent people to chase and kill him, and he didn't know about it.

It should be acquiescence.

Since this is the case, the prime minister has already attacked secretly, and Xu Zhen can only seek a way to protect himself, and cannot show love.

If you put aside all concerns and only consider the two of them, Xu Zhen and Cao Cao will surely laugh a few times, and then talk happily.

But it's a pity.

There are many people standing behind them.

Everyone is a responsibility.

"So, I want Xiliang."

Xu Zhen said firmly, "No matter what, I want Xiliang."

"Why?"

Ma Chao frowned, but laughed instead, "If you really are not from the same way, you can take Jizhou by flipping your hands, and then send troops to Xudu. Within three years, you can defeat Cao Cao and become the emperor yourself."

"What do you want Xiliang to do?"

Ma Chao's expression was playful, as if he had seen through Xu Zhen's inner thoughts. From his point of view, this was clearly insincere. He still had the prime minister in his heart, and the two of them were not inseparable.

But for some reason, it just happened to be like this, Ma Chao felt that this car rider seemed to be very affectionate, and he would rather stay close and seek far away.

Do not take permission to stand on your own.

In fact, with his level of strength, as long as there is chaos in the rear, he can immediately make Cao's north and south difficult, and he doesn't even need to do anything. It's just the rebels in Jingzhou, plus the Sun family in Jiangdong, and Liu Bei and Liu Qi in Jiangxia.

Cao Cao can be defeated.

Ma Chao also commanded 20 troops, and he grew up in Xiliang, where the people are tough. How can he not have great foresight.

"This, I have my own measure."

Xu Zhen stared intently, and his power suddenly rose.

Ma Chao immediately grinned, "Okay, don't say that."

"Xiliang, I will hand over the chariots to the cavalry, but I can't send troops and horses to leave. If you dare to believe it, I will tell my uncle Han Sui immediately when I go back. In addition, if I fight with the Cao family in the future, I will definitely let me take the lead."

He was supposed to be a prisoner, but Ma Chao is still a guest at this moment.

How could he not be grateful in his heart, and, at this moment, he could feel the car rider's heart, and with the reviews he had heard for so many years, he knew who Xu Zhen was.

Just relying on one thing is worth entrusting.

As soon as he left Jizhou, several gentry clans and millions of people migrated with him. Such beautiful scenery is more reassuring than the 20 years of boasting by the great Confucianism among the gentry.

Because the people don't like emptiness, the direction of the heart must be good.

Although Ma Chao was fast and reckless, he had the air of a general. He could tell that this rider was a good rider.

He may be the same as General Huangfusong, not a chariot conferred by the emperor, but a chariot general in the hearts of the people.

For peace of mind.

"With Xiliang retreating, both Jingzhao and Fufeng let the chariots garrison. At the same time, I invite the chariots to follow me back to Wuwei. I will hand over the right to deploy troops and horses to the chariots."

"A lieutenant general in our army may not refuse."

In this regard, Ma Chao was convinced.

Otherwise, when Xu Jun sent back the bodies of all the dead and wounded soldiers in Xiliang that night, he would not have been so distraught.

This action has really won the hearts of Xiliang, and it has also made full preparations for the surrender now. The return of the corpse is not only to buy people's hearts, but also to inform them in a grand manner, regardless of the offense caused by the surprise attack.

The temperament is indeed extraordinary.

"it is good."

Without hesitation, Xu Zhen made Ma Chao laugh again, "Che Qi, dare to come back to Wuwei with me, aren't you afraid that I will lay an ambush to harm you?"

"Hmph, don't be suspicious of people, don't be suspicious of employers."

Xu Zhen said something that made both Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang shake their heads secretly.

This sentence……

……

"Hmph, don't be suspicious, but don't be suspicious when employing people!"

Jingzhou.

In the Xiangyang government office, Cao Cao received a letter from across the river.

It was written by Xu Gong, who was left behind by Xu Zhen.

"Leave the army now, and present Sun Ce's head."

To put it simply, after thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao decided to retreat tens of miles and return to the defensive position, taking into account the spring plowing and garrisoning the fields, and no longer oppressing the Jiangdong areas.

Always ready to march.

"My lord, this may be a tactic to slow down the army," Guo Jia looked at the letter suspiciously, with disbelief on his face. He was inherently skeptical, and his nature was to oppose everything.

"This is the time for a fierce attack. The soldiers and horses must be suppressed, so that Jiangdong and Jiangxia cannot breathe, otherwise they will be hoarded with food and grass, and it will be more difficult to fight in the future."

"No, I believe Xu Bowen, this is the last plan he left for me."

Cao Cao sighed. Although he said he was unwilling to obey before, and wanted to rush to the east of the river and then return to the north, it really came to the beginning of spring...

"Don't rush for a while, give him a month, if it can be done, the big things will be stable, if not, then it's time to march again."

"Prime Minister!"

Outside the main hall, Xun You hurried over, sweating profusely, clutching a bamboo slip tightly in his hand, stained with blood, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and stared coldly.

"What news?"

"Xu Zhen, break Xiliang!" Xun You said with a shocked face.

too fast.
