Chapter 973
Zhang Can stood among the corpses all over the ground, looking up at the sky, motionless.The clothes on his body were splashed with blood, and he looked extremely hideous, as if Chi You was reborn.The knights passing by him all looked at him with admiration. The individual combat power of the Red Eagle Cavalry is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, and he has killed so many opponents with one against ten. His combat power can be said to be amazing.

Finally a tall horse came to a stop beside him. The general on the horse was wearing heavy armor, and his face under the iron helmet was fair and tender, like a well-clothed Confucian scholar from a family, not a warrior at all.General Baimian reined in the reins, glanced at Zhang Can and the dead bodies everywhere, and said, "You did this all by yourself?"

Zhang Can seemed to have never heard of it, but a female voice shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, I was reprimanded for saving you. You should give me some response anyway, General Hussars is asking you something!"

Hearing this name, Zhang Can slowly raised his head and nodded slightly: "You are very famous, if you didn't mention your name, Gao Lan would not lose his mind."

This rude and confusing answer made Ma Chao amused. He leaned over and said, "What a guy with character. Recently, there are more and more weirdos in the army." After finishing speaking, Ma Chao looked behind Han Gu. Gu took a look, and continued to say: "Shadow reported back that you assassinated Gao Lan alone, because you had a grudge against Gao Lan?"

"There is a grudge." Zhang Can said.

"Come on, tell me, I like to hear this kind of gossip."

Zhang Can glanced at Ma Chao, and suddenly felt inexplicable about the man in front of him.He didn't think he could speak out the deep hatred in his heart, but under the gaze of Ma Chao's clear eyes, he opened his mouth unconsciously and told about his relationship with Gao Lan.

In a trance, seven years of dusty memories suddenly surged.When Zhang Can didn't know it, his speech became much smoother: that happened more than ten years ago. At that time, Zhang Can was just a resident near Yecheng. When he was playing outside, he met Gao Lan who was dying.At that time, Gao Lan was just an orphan in exile.After being taken in by Zhang Can's parents, he and Zhang Can have always been like brothers and supported each other.Afterwards, Hebei Spear King Han Rong saw that the two had good aptitudes, so he accepted them as disciples.

Later, Yuan Shao captured Yecheng, and Han Rong was recruited by Yuan Shao as his general. Zhang Can did not want to live a life of fighting on the battlefield, so he withdrew from Han Rong's sect.However, Gao Lan was obsessed with power, and followed Han Rong into Yuan's house just as he thought.However, afterward, the Wei County rebelled, and the Black Mountain Army Yu Du led tens of thousands of troops to attack Yecheng, and Zhang Can's village was not spared.Zhang Can fought desperately. When he woke up, he found that Gao Lan was beside him triumphantly telling him that he had led an army to repel the village where the Black Mountain Army lived, and killed the thieves Xiangdang.

Zhang Can was shocked to find that the village Gao Lan was talking about was his hometown.And Gao Lan's answer was that he helped Zhang Can understand the bondage, and the two of them could serve Yuan Gong together and be famous to future generations.Zhang Can's heart ached immediately, and he burst into a rage, stabbing Gao Lan in the face. Under Gao Lan's stop, Zhang Can walked out of the camp of ten thousand people by himself.From then on, in the past seven years, Zhang Can has been thinking about assassinating Gao Lan all the time. Unfortunately, the more famous Gao Lan is, the less and less chances Zhang Can gets to do it.

After hearing this story, Ma Chao's face didn't change much. In fact, in this troubled world, if you have the heart, everyone who survives has a past that can be written into a novel.However, after Ma Chao heard that both Zhang Can and Gao Lan were Han Rong's disciples, he couldn't help asking curiously, "You know, Han Rong is dead, right?"

"Yes, he was killed by Lu Bu, the number one god of war in the world." Zhang Can replied very simply.

"Then you should also know that Lu Bu killed Han Rong to save me, right?"

"know."

"Don't you want to avenge the teacher?"

"I don't want to." At this point, Zhang Can paused for a moment, looked at Ma Chao and said, "Master knows that he will eventually die on this road, so I have never had any regrets. Besides, I hate him too, I hate him for teaching me." I hate all my martial arts skills, and I hate him even more for training Gao Lan, that white-eyed wolf in human skin!"

After Ma Chao heard this, he seemed to be more interested in Zhang Can, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Can: "I think you are good at swordsmanship, why don't you follow me." Hearing this, the attendants next to him all showed envious expressions. A piece of pig pig shoulder fell off, and in one step, he changed from a low-level ranger to a hussar general's entourage.But Zhang Can shook his head: "Gao Lan is not dead, I will not be loyal to anyone, only Gao Lan is in my eyes."

"Gao Lan is already Yuan Shao's general. With your strength alone, there are very few opportunities to contact him. The only way is to kill him on the battlefield. Don't forget, Gao Lan is not only Chi In addition to the cavalry leader of Yingqi, it is also one of the four court pillars in Hebei. Oh, no, Wen Chou and Han Rong have passed away, and now there are only three court pillars left." Ma Chao seemed quite patient.

"Can I just kill Gao Lan?" Zhang Can asked again.

Ma Chao smiled, pointed to his face and said, "Don't look at me with a pretty face, but I always keep my word. Don't worry, I promise you will only fight against Gao Lan in the future." As he said, But he added in his heart: If Yuan Jun wants to kill you before killing Gao Lan, and you stand up to resist, it's not my business.

"Okay." Zhang Can agreed very simply, and he tore open his chest, revealing the scar on his chest: "As long as Gao Lan can be killed, it doesn't matter if this life is entrusted to anyone." He said: "Okay, bring him a horse, and bring him a pair of armor and an iron sword." Then he turned the horse's head and walked away.

Zhang Can's expression was dull, and he didn't thank him. He silently followed the large army, but kept a certain distance from Ma Chao.Zhang Can is not very good at riding a horse, he is crooked, his hands are desperately grabbing the mane to prevent it from falling.Han Gugu saw this action, and a smile appeared on his mouth.Looking back at Han Gu's weird riding skills, Zhang Can couldn't help but smile.

"It's a pity that there is another good horse. You two should pay attention to it. Don't pluck out the mane for me. It's a good Dawan horse!" Ma Chao smiled wryly and shook his head, feeling a little distressed: Indeed, in this troubled world, the value of a good Dawan horse , enough to exchange for hundreds of bandits.

After this small episode, this army of mixed infantry and cavalry continued to drive northward-the [-] Anxi slave corps in Chang'an had reached the front line. Liang cavalry - their speed is not fast enough to march, but they are definitely not slow.The scouts continued to gallop back and forth, summarizing the surrounding situation to Ma Chao.Until late at night, Ma Chao finally got the news he wanted: the train team that Jinyang left was forty miles ahead.

Ma Chao spread out the map on his horse, measured it with his fingers, and held his chin in thought: This distance must have been carefully calculated by the opponent.Chasing at night, you can only fight a chaotic night battle, and the transportation team can easily escape in the dark; if you wait until tomorrow morning to catch up, then the transportation team will be closer to the high-ranking army camp, and it is likely to be stuttered by the main force of Yuan Jun. - This is a difficult choice.

Yes, after the initial defeat of Gao Gan, Gao Gan and the 12 army's food and supplies have been seized by the Ma's army.Although Ma Chao can wait for the 40 army to gather, and swallow the high-ranking cadres and the examination and distribution department in one fell swoop.However, at the same time, Yan Liang led [-] elite soldiers and was about to reach Yanshi.

Ma Chao picked up a piece of charcoal, drew a few strokes on the map, and dug out a few counting sticks to do some calculations.Finally, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Pass my order, the whole army will continue to march, [-]% slower than the normal march." Ma Chao issued instructions.Huang Yuan raised a question: "My lord, if you march like this, you will be close to the convoy when you approach the baggage train. It will be too dark at that time, so it is not suitable for encirclement and suppression."

Ma Chao waved the charcoal pencil in his hand and said a puzzling sentence: "Don't worry, we won't touch the supply team." Then he swiped his pen like flying, and wrote a few more orders, and several shadow messengers flew away. Generally left the team and ran in different directions.

After finishing all this, Ma Chao called Zhang Can and Han Gugu over, and said: "You two will practice your riding skills later, and I will give you two a task now."

After the two listened to the instructions, Han Gugu only said one word: "Okay."

Zhang Can asked, "Where is Gao Lan?"

"It should be."
