Chapter 808 Overview of One of the Four Court Columns
Obviously, Ma Chao's concerns are unnecessary.

The Shadow in his hand was indeed captured abruptly by Ma Chao and killed by the fierce Gan Ning coldly, but compared with the missions he had experienced before and the harsh training before leaving the teacher, it was really Some are not worth mentioning.

Therefore, instead of showing any signs of fear, this Shadow, when Gan Ning's broadsword was resting on his neck, drew out his close-fitting short blade, intending to assassinate Ma Chao.

However, his assassinating right hand was cut off by Ma Chao halfway: "Don't do it, if you are really a shadow man, you must recognize this token, right?"

For this trip, Ma Chao will naturally carry the Shadow Token.The fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty are now covered with shadows.The entire shadow is Ma Chao's eyeliner, especially since he is in charge of a treacherous plan this time, he naturally needs the assistance of the shadow.

And when the shadow saw Ma Chao take out the crystal clear jade token, his expression changed drastically: Generally, even the top five members of the shadow team, the shadow tokens in their hands are neither gold nor wood However, the token in front of him at this time is the Lord's Token that he has only heard of when he was training in the shadows!

Obviously, Ma Chao's personal visit surprised him a little.In desperation, he had no choice but to endure the injuries on his body, almost coughing up blood foam and asked tentatively: "I didn't know Ye Yui in my life?......"

And at this time, Ma Chao finally saw that this shadow was at the end of his battle. The special night clothes on his body were already sticky and hot, and soaked in blood. After exhausting the last sliver of vitality in his body, he was shocked after seeing his "Master Order", showing signs of returning to life.

As a result, Ma Chao didn't care about anything at the moment, and quickly replied: "It's hard to get into a brothel! I am Ma Chao, tell me quickly, what happened here?!"

"My lord!" The shadow tried his best to move, and seemed to want to salute Ma Chao one last time, but in the end he was seriously injured, so he could only use his remaining rationality to say, "My lord, leave quickly! Zhan Ding Tao..." After saying that, the shadow was breathless, and before he died, his expression seemed to be honored to see Ma Chao with his own eyes.

Ma Chao is naturally not a person who mourns the spring and the autumn, but he still feels quite uncomfortable seeing this loyal and fearless shadow leave with his own eyes.What's more serious is the news from the shadow: Cao Cao has captured Dingtao!
After Lu Bu received funding from the Ma family, he has always had the upper hand in the military.However, Cao Cao was in the dilemma of food shortage and faced the triple problem of Liu Xie's self-reliance and Yuan Shao's coercion. Even if he wanted to make a difference, he was still struggling. How could he suddenly sweep away the difficulties and take the initiative to take down Dingtao?

However, when Ma Chao was at a loss, Gan Ning's expression changed. He quickly walked to the broken window, took a look, and said, "My lord, get out of here quickly! A small group of cavalry is approaching... ..."

Ma Chao immediately walked out of the hut, and when he stretched out his eyes, he saw billowing smoke and dust in the distance. When he looked carefully, he saw that the smoke and dust were still condensed in the light-colored night, and he knew that an elite cavalry was coming.Now, although he was on the border of Chenliu, but from the news from that shadow, after learning that Dingtao was breached, the person who came was most likely to be Qingqi scouts from the Cao family.

With a slight wave of his hand, Ma Chao, Gan Ning and Lu Qiling immediately hid themselves in the grass by the river, watching the cavalry from afar.But for a moment, in the smoke and dust, it can be seen clearly that it is a cavalry wearing red armor. The leader is also wearing a fire-colored battle robe. , in full swing, people are already heartbroken.

A trace of doubt flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, and he frowned again. He saw that the leader of the cavalry, the general in red, came out of the hut, flew out of the horse, and breathed out. He was obviously a general with skill in martial arts.With his extraordinary eyesight, Ma Chao lifted the mask on his helmet after seeing the general in red get off his horse, but because the distance was too far, Ma Chao couldn't see his face clearly.But his slender and majestic eight-foot-long body, and his majestic demeanor with a refined and graceful demeanor, made Ma Chao slightly shocked: Ma Chao had already scouted out all the generals under Cao Cao, and he was probably the only one with such a temperament. There is the gentle and refined Li Dian and Li Mancheng.

However, Ma Chao knew that Li Dian, who was a general of Zhonglang at this time, would never bring two thousand cavalry here to deal with the aftermath.After the man entered the hut with a few personal guards, he left in a short while, and then the two thousand cavalrymen retreated as swiftly as when they came, and retreated like the wind.

However, a big fire was left behind, causing the whole hut to burn violently.Ma Chao knew that in just half an hour, the shadow of the Ma family in Yanzhou, the secret contact point, would completely become a white ground and disappear.

"Red clothes, iron face... and come here to find out the news." Ma Chao's expression became extremely complicated, he slowly stood up from the grass, and muttered to himself: "When did Yuan Shao's subordinate 'four Gao Lan, one of the court pillars, actually infiltrated into Yanzhou?"

"Gao Lan?" Hearing this, Gan Ning couldn't help staring at the ground where the smoke and dust dissipated, and said, "That Gao Lan who has always been very mysterious, with an iron mask covering his face, and standing shoulder to shoulder with Hebei Yanliang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jai?!"

"If I'm not wrong, that man is indeed wearing a ferocious iron face..." Ma Chao's thoughts became more serious. At this time, the destruction of the shadow contact point, Cao Cao's initiative to send troops, and Gao Lan's invasion of Yanzhou have already happened. It turned into a huge doubt, entangled in Ma Chao's heart, making him have to think about choices.

But in fact, Ma Chao knew Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Zhang Jai among the four generals of the "Hebei Four Court Columns". Leaning as the right arm and right arm.But Zhang Jaw is better than Yan Liang and Wen Chou in Ma Chao's heart. He is good at camp and understands strategy.Instead, he changed from "Hebei Sitingzhu" to Cao Cao's "Five Sons of Good Generals" who is known for his ingenious changes!
But only this high view is very vague and brief in the history books.In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is only said that this person was framed by Yuan Shao's counselor Guo Tu during the Battle of Guandu, and he led the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao in anger.After fighting Liu Bei in Runan, he was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun.

According to the records of Romance, Gao Lan is nothing more than a disheveled character.But Ma Chao, who has experienced troubled times for a long time, already knew that without real talents and learning, it is impossible for a humble general to win such a big name in this troubled world.And Gao Lan sent troops to the shadow contact point tonight, which made him even more confusing.

"My lord, for the moment, should we enter Dingtao according to the original plan?" Gan Ning looked up at the night and asked.

But Ma Chao looked at Lu Qiling indifferently, and after flashing a flash of guilt, he said firmly: "No, we changed into the disaster victims' clothes, and rushed into Chenliu overnight to contact Yingying. On the land of the Central Plains, there are already wildfires everywhere."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help sighing in frustration, and added in a dejected sentence: "To be honest, I regret leaving Chang'an now..."

"Husband," seeing Ma Chao's despair, Lu Qiling couldn't help but stepped forward and took Ma Chao's hand, "Father is still in charge of the overall situation in Yanzhou. We will definitely be able to figure out what is going on..."

Ma Chao was speechless, all the mysteries had filled his mind, making him unable to figure out the truth behind the scenes.At this moment, his mood is the same as that of going to Xuzhou to seek the shackles of his previous life: confused and vacillating...
